Big trouble upgrading from 1.22 to 1.4

Hey gus,
New to this forum. I was trying to upgrade my ba from 1.22 to 1.4 and somehow I think I got stuck in the bootloader screen. I downloaded the rom directly from clubimate. My problem is when I run the rom it gets stuck when it tries to upgrade the radio. Now my phone is totally non working, it starts once in a while but only to the bootloader screen.
Any advice would be great.
Thank you guys.

Let me know how you get on..?
Cheers,

I am downloading right now. Is it easy to switch the language?
thanks

Thank you for responces, but they did not work.
OK, I downloaded the dutch 1.42 rom version. I also downloaded the country code error program. I ran it and I got the same exact thing as I did with the 1.4 rom directly from imate. The problem is: when the rom program is about to update the radio it freezes and returns an error 114 something like radio update error. I don't know what to do, and of course my phone is not usable.
Please if you have any advice tell me.
thank you

Hey guys,
I finally fixed it. I read somewhere that if you delete the radio.nbf and the ms.nbf files and then try to update it will work. So I did, and now my phone is working again.
Thank you.

Bricked Vodafone Kaiser ... HELP!

Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.

your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies

azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.

Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?

What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.

Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan

where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058

Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan

Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.

Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.

MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan

Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.

error 226 upgrading vodafone diamond

Hi to everyone.
I've just bought a HTC Diamond on the vodafone network, but need to unlock it as I'm on O2's network.
I've been able to install SPL 1.4 and this shows on the boot loader page.
The problem seems to come when I try and install the 'new' rom. It goes through the whole stage up to 100%. Then on the device it says error code please try again. On my Pc it says error code 226. I've tried it on a windows vista pc, and again on XP. I've also tried it by installing it direct onto the internal storage. This again goes through the installation up to and including 1005, but then come sup with a new screen on the device saying that the update and the radio have both failed to install.
I'd really like to unlock my device and to have a new rom so that I dont have all the vodafone branding.
Like many others, I'm willing to contribute so that research and new software is developed, and I have also read the forums for many hours trying to find a solution to my problem before posting.
Hopefully I can be directed to some help.
Kind regards.

Just to update and incase anyones interested.
I ended up downloading the latest version of the official rom that I could find, then extracted the nbh file using winrar, and installed that from the internal storage which has successfully worked.
Not sure why the other rom image I had wouldn't work, just glad I've got rid of the vodafone bits really.
Regards.

Installed 1.6 manually, wrong one... How to get back(downgrade) to 1.5?

Hey everybody.. after a failed htc diamond (mda c4)
they exchanged it for a G1 today.. so happy me, on a 2 year contract but with a new phone every year
now... it came with 1.1 firmware (official) and searched the internet for 1.5 and 1.6.. so i installed both and now im on a official 1.6 unrooted.
But i think i installed the wrong one because i STILL dont have dutch language (1.1 had english and german and this 1.6 version has english and spanish)
My question now is how do i get back to 1.5 to get the 1.6 update from T-Mobile NL over the air?

--bump--
sorry for bumping the topic but can someone tell me how? dont really need the rooting, but can someone tell me how to get back to 1.5 or 1.1?
I tried to flash a nbh but it says 'not allow'
btw i have an dutch t-mo g1.. so its an eu device i think.. can't find the RC29 for eu anyone any idea? searched the forum but the only official thing i get is TheOfficial and it isnt even really official cause its rooted and cant use it

if you want to flash RC7 (which is what you should flash instead of RC29 as 29 is for us phones)
you need to use the goldcard method
search for the thread by Yuye in this forum

Whats good B-man.
Also you can root your phone (I know you said you didn't care to) and load a custom rom with more languages on it, so you don't have to stay on an outdated firmware. Also won't the 1 click method work on his phone B-man?

He said hes on 1.6US so no it wont. He wants 1.6 OTA for NL (i think its the same as the EU but not sure), and is looking for the 1.5NL version so he can get up to 1.6NL
i dont know if the EU 1.6 is out yet, i think there are still a few days left.
I think RC7 is your best bet. hopefully youll get the OTA for NL (you should, i dont think theres any reason it wont, but i dont know of the details in regional differences)

okay FINALLY i managed to get a goldcard after 5 hours of searching and reading how to (HxD hex editor did the trick, didnt want to vmware a linux install just for this)
So i downgraded it to an RC7, then i installed the 1.5us update (i think its us because it has the spanish language)
I hope that i can still recieve the 1.6 OTA update.. can anybody confirm if it's possible to get an EU/NL update even though i have an US android now?
And yes to answer the question if the 1.6 is out in holland, they're rolling it out as im typing (since a couple of days) but havent recieved a message. read somewhere that i should make a call then i'll get the update sooner. (to let the network know you have a g1 thats not updated yet)
its hard to get used to the android after having a WM device, but im getting there
If anyone could still provide me with/point me out to tho EU/NL 1.5 with dutch language i'd appreciate that, it would make things a little easier

Okay just got the 1.6 update and installed it. Can confirm that once u update to us 1.5 ur stuck on us.. still gettin spa and eng locale only.. so maybe ill root it during the weekend

HELP!
help please! how did you use D' goldcard method? Why is it that everytime i do the goldcard method and places it back in my G1 it says damage sim card!
What is wrong!!! HELP!

That means the sd card you're using isn't compatible as a gold card.. You'll need to get another card (different brand) and try

good info that
I read often that it might be solved with one of the following
1. Remove your SD card, run the HardSPL again, then reinsert the SD card with your kovsimg file and it should work
2. reinstall active sync via .msn
3. change the usp port and the data cable
4. disable firewall and antivir
...
But item 1 is reportedly the main reason for most of the error 260 connection failures.
good luck

my dear friend i thank u so much for ur close support to me and my problem
i tryd the activesync first and after the update start on the computer and my phone the update stops at 0% on the computer and the phone as well then the update stops showing error #[262] update error then start the recovery prosses and i formatted my micro-sd to FAT32 and load it with the required file but when i bootload it start the update but stops at the 1st prosses the loading prosses and never move next to the checking and so on
i believe my problem it had something to do with the SPL the rom its locked with the StockSPL that not allowing the update to happen or to get unlocked with the HardSpl

Have you ever tried to put your phone into the bootloader mode and try to hardSPL again?
Are you currently using win XP? Don't use Win 7 or Vista.

Try installing the newer SPL and then install hard-spl on a different computer without your sd card in the phone.
