Can't flash Kaiser HardSPL in any way??? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Iv'e tryed to flash HardSPL to Kaiser... Downloaded various unlockers/flashers, even SD card solution... When trying to flash over usb with some Kaiser-HardSPL.exe - after entering tricolor mode and when progressbar appears it always stuck on 0%, and nothing happens... Update utility shows error (Rom update utility encountered communication error or smth.) and sugests me to do recovery. Tryed everything - SoftSpl1.56, Softspl1.93, SSpl-kais...
Other method i've tryed - SD card
Iv'e followed instructions, formatted card, copied those two files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683) to sd card, but after resetting Kaiser it only shows "Loading..." and hangs... no restart, nothing... just "loading..." on screen...
Bootloader menu shows following versions:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8

somehow... after trying another 1000 -th time... it just flashed...

Have exactly the same problem, tried all other solutions! any idea on what the last method was that worked?

When flashing via USB it will hang at 0% (and fail w/ 260 error on PC side) if the SD card is left in. I've made that mistake more than once.
Remember to remove SIM, too.

I don't have sd card and I've got the same problem...
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I want to upgrade Hard SPL 3.24 to newer version. I always get 262 error. Also tried all possible ways (MicroSD uses FAT32, but I didn't formatted It, because I don't have SD adapter).
Sometimes It's shown that flashing complete, but HardSPL version still is the same.

Are you using sspl to upgrade? sim and sd out? usb cable or sd flash? Do you already have a hspl and are just upgrading?
If you're on an original spl you must use sspl to do it.
If you're upgrading then you can use the kaisdiag file by cmonex and an sd.

aaaaahhhhh

copy sspl.exe into your device and run it then you can flash with CustomRUU
to much better you are using ActiveSync on Windows XP

Thanks so much!!! i got it to work!!!! i actually used a jump spl instead, but i now am running win 6.5 on my kaiser!!!!!!! and i'm beyond stoked
THANKS Y'ALL!

Error 246, 260 and 202

hey guys,
I'm freakin' out... I followed the instructions on trinityguides.info to upload the Hard-SPL. However, even though the Active Sync is working and the RUU seems to connect to the mobile and everything if going fine so far I get this bloody 246 and that *****y thingy of a mobile is going into the three colour mode... Ok, not a big deal. As I've read in the FAQ just start the RUU again and it should be cool... well, its not... now I get a 260. Nevertheless, I've not given up yet. I tried the installation again. This time without accepting the message on the mobile, after a while I get another error 202....
so please guys... where is the trick??? I read something about go into bootloader manually - I reckon that's the camera,power and hard reset button combo. When should I do this???
I also downloaded all three of this roms, 1.20, 1.30 and the other Macrofl or so....
I'm running XP SP2, Active Sync 4.5,
Mobile: HTC P3600, IPL-0.50, SPL-1.07.0000, WM5 German
Update via SD
Hi,
I had the same kind of problem just a few days ago... and I solved it simply using my SD memory. Using it, you bypass the pc (and the connection between the PDA and PC) and all this type of problems "connection-depending".
You can flash your PDA putting the rom image on the SDcard (how you should do, you can read here here )...
Ciao
Tompo
hey tompo,
thx for your help, but I still have problems. I formated my Sandisk 2GB ultra II SD card and copied the RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the SD. Then I renamed the file to TRINIMG.nbh and went manually to the bootloader. However, there was only a short flickering of a grey screen that said "loading", after that I was back in that three colour thingy.... crap.... what the hell am I doing wrong???
seems as i have though luck with that mobile....
Any more hints???
cheers

Ok.....You wanna get to the 3 strip screen?
Make sure the battery has a 50% of its charge.
-Turn the device off.(DON´T HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER YET) so it should be off and unplugged.
-Press and HOLD camera button + power button,now you should see the 3 strips,if so you can hook it up to the usb port.
Got it?
I don´t remember now if you have to follow this step first:

Like I said I´m not sure,but take a look.....if you brick the phone there´s a way to fix it.
See ya.

thank you guys for the support,
however, the source of the prob was the SD card. Even though I formatted the SD in my laptop with FAT32 and no label, it seemed to me that the mobile couldn't access it. I've done it several times - didn't work. Finally, I thought lets format the thingy with the mobile itself - voila - it worked.... I dono if something with my card reader is wrong... the SD was working fine with tomtom and was accessible in both (laptop and mobile) without flaws. Only the bloody flashing didn't work as it should be.... well, I don't mind any more, may be its a solution for another desperate trinity user....
Cheers guys - I'm runnin' on WM6.1 now....*sweet*
hello could you please say how did you format with the trini, cuz I'm really new and unable to find that function.
I have exactly the same problems, but no external card reader
Many thx

Unbrick Trinity From SD

Need a favours over here. Recently, i bricked my trinity. P3600 more precisely Dopod D810 (i flashed wrong ROM -> Unpacking cooked rom for trinity but i merge it with -Hermes cmd in NBMerge! houh... so stupid! ). Soo... just not what i expected, Rom flashing stop on half, SR my trin and tada.... 3Color screen bootloader popup! haaarggg, i try flashing another rom using any rom that has same CID *official or cooked rom* (some are 100% thru, but someother not) but like usual it won't start the windows (just blank/black screen with green led[ always on!) Never been like this before! Have been flashing several times using any cooked rom by great chef on trinity but this time! :doh: damn it! my bad.
i found solution on the forum *Unbricking Trinity Stuck on Bootloader* but since my usb port can't be detected on my vista/xp machine, whether i disable AS and changed my usb cable it doesnt work at all, on mtty too! so i can't use that utility. i try run install sspl olipro 1.3 but it never changed my spl at all. now i can't use my trin at all cuz allready dead.
btw this is the info on trin 3color screen bootloader:
IPL 1.00
SPL 3.20 OLIPRO
anysolution for bringing back my trinity from the death? maybe a tools/utility to unbrick trinity from SD or something like that, which not involved any pc connection, without bring this devices to htc center of course.
I hope any expertise on this forum would helped me sort out this probs.
Sorry for my english and thanks for reading my post.
Read this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691 download splxploit-windows.zip (935.1 KB, 7619 views) put phone in bootloader run splxploit when bootloader change

Then flash full rom bat do not disconnect usb cable in any step.
Before use any step disable active sync.
Usb are dead
Gsmhacks thanks for ure reply. I have tried that one, and lot read ing on wiki. But since i cant use the usb i cant use that splexploit whether on live linuxcd, or .Net version even win version. The usb port cant be opened . I think i broke the usb pin. From the beginning everytime i flashed my trin i never used ruu utility, i always do the sd card method and that is the best and easiest method and it works for me.
I just curious perhaps can anyone or is there any utility to unbrick trin via sd card. I knew a lot a people has bring their trinity life from dead by using htc stackflow splexploit. I hope that was work for me too! Too bad my usb are dead. Damn!
Here what you need bat only work if you have hard spl
If you install hard spl before brick trinity you can use SD CARD to flash trinity. YOu need to formate sd card to FAT32 with Card Reader donwload full rom here is link: http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.exe
then extract and file RUU_Signed.nbh rename to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
Here is full instruction again also first format sd card to FAT32 !!!! VERY IMORTANT to format sd card to FAT32 or all other step will not work THEN:
1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract (or you can also use winrar via wine).
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
and you will flash and unbrick trinity bat this only work if you install before this hard spl i mean cid unlock trinity. if not you must fix usb port.
That will work? I hope so
Ok then i'll try flashing using that rom. Oo, i have install hardspl btw and so far flashing using sdcard method no probs. But after i bricked my trin flashing doesnt smooth like be4. Always gave me error 0018003 update fail on the halfway, i guess because i have bad nand on trin and probably cuz cooked rom.
Can u give me another link, perhaps on xda ftp. rapids so slow 4 me. Btw i have download dopodasiawwe official rom on xda ftp *twice but still when i tried to run the package it gave me corrupt archive integrity fail w!f.
Thanks gsmhackerns, i downloading the package now!
Perhaps you can find a way to make a goldcard for Trinity?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437996
That's what i looking for! Thanks.
Humm, superb. Yay, great! Thank you stepw. Even its for elf with a little mod i hope this will work. Once again thank you.
Stepw, i have tried making the gold card, everything went ok. I have temp. cid *supercid* but the probs now is i can't download http://rapidshare.com/files/21174752/RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.execan someone uploaded to somewhere else. Rapidshare crap! perhaps on xda ftp.
thanks!
goldcard cannot help in such a situation.
I can however make an SSPL that loads off SD card - just like for kaiser you will be able to use it because you are already on hardspl.
then that will allow you to flash stock SPL.
PM me and send your MSN address, so we can test it out. if it works i'll post it in this thread too in case others get stuck also

Indeed. Youre right cmonex, it doesnt make any difference at all 4 my trin. After several tried using and making goldcard 4 trin, finally i made working goldcard4trin, but gosh it still stuck when i tried to update the os (update os fail) humm anyone.
Sorry for wasting your time with Goldcard, I have overlooked that you have a hard spl on your Trinity. In this case goldcard doesn't make a lot of difference.
And there's no trindiag.nb to the best of my knowledge that could be used instead of SSPL cmonex is suggesting to run from SD.
Back to the topic, sounds like you have some "bad" blocks in flash and OS can't be flashed. Bad blocks can be reset with "task 2a" command, see this thread for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330496
The question is how to run it without USB and I don't have an answer for you
Some people have previously mentioned they managed to flash smaller OS images when larger images failed, perhaps if you try flashing some minimal vanilla ROM, it will succeed?
Bad NAND, Yup!
Ya... as i mention before yup i do have bad nand block on my devices. Using manila rom with smaller img size the flash went 'OK'. But it doesn't boot at all infact just black screen with green led on.
Okay the only solution probably use mtty and do task 2a if i'm not mistaken. But like you said "The problem is the USB port". I think the port is ok cuz i already tested it connecting my usb to my trin without inserting the battery and the red led *magenta* is on. humm, weird!
But if something can make it working without involving any pc connection it would be a great achievement. hahah! well i supposed i have to put my trin on bunker before someone can make it happens
I asked SEA in my country and they recommend me to changed the machine it self and they charge me around US $160 ho...ho.. too "wideeeeee" for college boy like me
Same problem, i flashed the rom
RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship
and after that i tried to flash a new radio!
power+cam and the cell phone did not show usb, then i used sspl to rum the radio but it locked at 0%
after that it is stucked at bootloader screen
ipl 1.0
spl 3.20 .....
but no usb and no sd card !!
did i lost the cell phone?
there is no jtag ou something like that ?
so now... you still want this SSPL? i'm thinking of patching one up to automatically run task 2a maybe. or just restore stock spl for warranty service if that's what you have in mind. but you didn't really reply to that offer?
Please if you could build a sspl for this condition it would be enough because once sspl i can run a new ruu with hard-spl again ! the problem i believe was caused becaus this original rom's have a spl.nb inside , in the screen we read teh information about the olipro spl but i thing teh original spl.nb messed up the hard spl!
There is another problem, i formated to fat32 my card and put a TRINIMG.nbh of a rom inside and he did nothing!! same card in elf with ELFIMG.nbh of a rom runs great!!
It means that this spl of mine will not flash from card? goldcar would help?
and cant i flash something in serial ? like a jtag or something?
Anyhelp will be more than apreciated!
sorry the bad english
Needed!
Cmonex, sorry for longtime haven't seeing this thread again. okay i really need your help btw if you willing to help me. The spl your talking about perhaps can sort out the probs (i hope) at least we tried. as for task2a cmd to clear the bad nand block is none usefull for me since usb conn. are definitely drop dead.
how about patch the SSPL to do task2a cmd to solve the bad NAND block first.

no usb, no sd, no chance sorry. jtag it or get it serviced or get another phone.
as for jtag, hermes jtag has been worked out by scholbert. trinity is probably the same, but you will have to find the pins. the rest of the process will be the same.
Dear all,
I can't go to bootloader screen ..fff before I had on my trinity faman 4.03 rom and I would change with the NiAX rom... after 3% restart and I think that my phone brick and my phone stay on htc screen fff please help
I have windows vista and even if i follow all steps pfff it changes nothing...after hard reset ...fff please help ...
I think my trinity is out :-(????????????????????????
Please help,
The O.S is more important to these operations than can be stressed - for a 99% safe flash Win XP is your best bet , I have had nothing but error 260,270 halfway flashed roms and usb faults running on vista and since I had my original bricking episode - NOTHING , I repeat NOTHING including genuine roms has flashed without a recovery or at least without doing something strange in the process - SPLXPLOIT has been a saviour here , without it I would've been lost.
Cant the O.P simply use another machine to test out the USB theory ?
ALIVE AGAINnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
My p3600 was stucked att bootloader, and wont give "usb" and do not read TINIMG.NBH (tried on elf with ELFIMG.nbh and the card was great)!
I did a golcard with the post on elf about it and the cell with the gold card inside was the same, no trinimg.nbh and no usb.............
BUT..............
with the goldcard inside, turned OFF, i placed it on the usb cable off the pc and the device booted to the bootloader screen, but this time he got "USB" , before flashing anything i removed the card , and putted switched off in the usb, booted with "serial" with card and pressing power and then placing usb still "serial" message!
I putted the card, did not switched on , placed on the usb and waited for it to boot for it self , and for my surprise "usb".
Flashed stock rom, and it booted nice!!!
Please try!
saved my day!

Is it bricked? (Upgrade ROM error)

(I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but since it is very ROM related it didn't feel all wrong to put it in here...)
Hi guys. After som serious flashing of cooked ROMs I decided for some unknown reason that I should try to restore a stock ROM. Now, being very tired as I was, i completely forgott that its probably a good idea to flash a new Stock ROM on the unit BEFORE flashing it with a signed SPL....so I just flashed the Signed SPL to the device. That in it self seem to have gone ok, because when I start the unit it say "SPL-1.15.0000". Problem is though that it also says "Upgrade ROM error, please try again"
Now, what should I do? Have tried put both signed and unsigned SPLs on the storage card and started up via the volume down/pwr button thingy, but that does not seem to do anything. I have also tried to attach the unit to a USB port when in tricolor mode ("USB" shows up on the screen) and tried the CustomRUU program. It finds the device and starts to "upgrade" (grey screen on the device with 0%) but then it just doesnt seem to get any further...
As the device was working fine with a custom ROM before I started all this, I suspect that the main problem proably is that I now have a Standard SPL with a cooked ROM, and that they collide sort of. I, as well as the Blackstone, is now stuck and I am all out of ideas what to do? Have also tried Hard and Soft resets, but that doesnt seem to change anything.
Help!
try removing the SD Card and put the phone into bootloader mode and re-flash the stock ROM! if this doesn't work ... still with the SD Card removed try flashing to USPL and flash the stock ROM again!
hope this helps
You can try USPL on your HD and flash a custom or stock ROM with it.

Thanks for the feedback!
Just be be sure, "into bootloader mode" is when you start the device holding down volume down and powerkey until you see the tricolor screen? Then that is probably what I have tried to do for a while now without success (total success that is, I do get into the tricolored screen)). Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?
USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?
I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).

bootloader mode is when you power off the device and hold the volume button down and press power till you get the tricolor screen...
so here is what you need to do .
1. remove the sd card
2. go into the tricolor mode connect your device to the pc and make sure it says (USB) at the bottom
3. run the stock shipped exe from you pc
if that didn't work then you should try the USPL version.. and there is a guide if you are using vista.. i just tried and worked fine.. here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3331078&postcount=153
and the reason i'm asking you to remove the sd card because if you have a rom (blacimg.nbh) it won't let you do anything it will try to flash from the sd card and right now you don't want to do that.
and you shouldn't put any rom into the internal storage of the phone..

What happens if you do that? will it try and flash over the flash? Proper *&@! it up?

i don't think anything would happen... the file will get deleted when you flash as the rest of the files in the internal memory
Thank you everyone! The USPL thing solved it, when I did it from a XP machine! The once bricked Blackstone is not alive an kicking again!
About USPL, I saw the workaround for Vista, but downgrading a few components to make it work just doesn't seem like a safe way to do it. And I cant help but to think that it might have unwanted side affects, ie affecting system stability. But maybe I am wrong?
Going back to shipped ROM without bricking?
Hi,
After reading this thread I am now a bit worried and, as a newbie, would appreciate maybe a "simple" answer to my question.
I''ve been experimenting with various cooked ROMs after following the guide in the WIKI for installing HardSPL and then putting the ROM file (BLACKIMG.nbh) on my SD card and installing it using the power on + volume down button method.
However, I now want to revert back to the original "shipped" ROM, which I have downloaded from the list of shipped ROMs via the WIKI (I downloaded the one which closely matched what was originally on my HD - as I didn't know how to backup the actual ROM on my HD at the time).
So, my question:
How should I put the downloaded original/shipped ROM:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
into my HD without bricking it?! Do I just run it on my PC with ActiveSync enabled or do I need to do something to remove the HardSPL or something first?
Sorry if this has been answered previously but I get confused when a thread just makes loads of references to SPLthis and SPLthat etc.!
if you have the HardSPL already installed on your phone then you don't need to do anything more.. just connect your phone to the pc and let it sync (activesync enabled) and flash to any shipped rom you want by simply running the exe file..

Hi, first of all let me begin by saying that I have spent a long time reading around through the guides and forums about flashing rom/radio to my Rohdium but still face problems. I have successfully flash my old TyTN II and Orange E650 but am at a loss as to why Im struggling this time round!
I flashed the Hard SPL which went 'fairly' smoothly, got there in the end after having problems on WIndows 7 64bit and then succeeded using Xp 32. However when trying to flash a new rom and/or radio I am greeted with an error, that being Error 284. I have tried like I say on Win7 64, Xp32 and when the error pops up my phone gets stuck on the process bar and forced to pull battery out. I then put it back in and it freezes on bootloader. The RUU software trys to recover but it is a loop of the same thing happening (attempts and then crashes). The only way to get out of this mess was strangely reflashing HardSPL which recovers it and allows me to boot to Windows. I have tried flashing a radio and/or rom whilst in sync within windows, I have tried flashing when manually forcing the phone to enter bootloader, I even paid the £10 to get the unlocker which would patch the special radio but that even returns the same error. I have the sim card out and storage card, battery charged over 50%. I even tried the Mtty program (sorry if mispelled, at work now and can't fully remember name!) when it was stuck at bootloader and using the "boot" command it boots as far as Touch Pro 2 logo but then doesn't progress, then i resorted to reflashing HardSPL which allowed me to boot properly. I just don't know what else to try!
Like I said Im sorry if this is obvious to someone but I have tried alot!
Many thanks in advance if someone could help!
* Update: Just tried flashing a radio on my works computer (XP 32) and it flashed no problem!? Wonder why my operating systems had an issue?
** SOLVED! ** - got home and randomly tried again on Win7 64 without using my USB extension cable and plugged into a different USB port directly and it worked! Faulty cable maybe, bad luck, who knows, it works!
Thanks.
Sound like maybe your RUU/update utility may have gotten corrupted. I would try to re-download the rom you want to flash over to your home pc again and try to re-flash.
If that doesn't work, you can always flash your rom through the storage card.
hmmm yea thats possible, will try when I get back in couple of hours thanks! Just seemed weird how nothing was working, different roms (cooked roms or shipped roms) and even the security/sim unlocker that I purchased......mystery!
USB cable tends to go bad easily! That might be the reasion why!

USB Method and Card method don't work

Like the title says, any possible method on flashing does not work on my Xperia anymore....what to do now?
I use a card which has always worked with Flashing, and my PC recognizes my phone as long as it is not in bootloader.....
more info on "doesn't work", how doesn't it work?
also try formatting your card again
Reset?
I take it you've tried a hard reset?!
Have you searched the forum as well? There's quite a few threads about flashing problems. Your answer might be there somewhere already!
Also, you haven't posted which ROM you are using but if its a stock R3AA series ROM then it might have written the stock SPL back to your device (and new radio firmware too) so that might be your problem, since the stock SPL doesn't support SD card flashing.
Without more information on your problem I doubt anyone will be able to help!
The Rom I use is Touch it BL, and I have formatted the card several times, that is all the info I can give you I guess...any idea on how to solve this? And thanks in advance for the help, I read through a lot of the forum but nothing seemed to help me...
re-check the image file name, make sure it is not KOVSIMG.nbh.nbh
Did that too, still no results...

does that mean you can't get into boot loader or that when you are in boot loader mode no image is found?

No Image is found, not on the card and not via the USB :S
Did you make sure that the image file is copied on to the root directory of your storage card? What brand and size SD card are you using? Is it formatted Fat32? Also, try a different SD card as there have been some problems with certain brands. Could also be that the image file is corrupted. Might try a different image file.
Same problem here!!!
can't flash via card and activesync anymore recently!
AND must boot with usb cable with power to pass the bootloader, otherwise, the screen will stuck in tri-color screen
Make sure you're using a Micro SD and not a Micro SDHC as that usually has the issue you mentioned. If you can still boot to windows try to access the card and see if it's corrupted. You may have a dead card. Just a couple things to try.
Tried all that, after some trying I found out that the phone is performing well when it has started up, WMDC does what it's supposed to and the phone behaves well..untill I try to flash, as soon as it's in bootloader it seems like my PC doesn't recognise my phone and the phone doesn't recognise it's arttached to a computer...

Have you tried re-flashing the Hard SPL to your device?
I know you've said that you can't flash once you are in bootloader but flashing the Hard SPL might work even though flashing a new ROM didn't.
I had a related problem ages ago and re-flashing Hard SPL fixed it for me.
Fingers crossed for you!
Still nothing...I appreciate for the help guys...but I'm getting desperate here...nothing is working!
