Bricked mine also :(

Hi all,
Hate to say this but I accidently also bricked my phone (I had PDAVIET working and then saw an update so forgot to put it back to WM5 first and then to WM6 again, now stuck in boot screen )
The reason I post this thread is I got a small question which will be one of my last resorts to fix it.
As I can only access the bootloader I hope this will work, so here is my question. If I pay 28 euro to IMEI-CHECK.UK to get an CID unlock, am I able to install any ROM (e.g. WWE English or WWE German etc..) and also will it unlock while I only can access the bootloader or does it require a functional OS ?
Many thanks...going to continue and slap myself in the face a couple of times..
HTC PLEASE RELEASE THE FREAKIN WM6 Dutch....argh

you dont have to go back to WM5 each time u want to update ur ROM. Mainly you should have installed hard SPL before any install.
you can search wiki for unbricking, i am sure i saw one.

Well I found a lot of stuff for the Hermes, which reminds that I should have bought a Hermes when I had the chance and i'm now stuck with this piece of sh*t.
I even tried other roms for other devices , my only chance would be CID unlock and install a WWE or wait for a million years for HTC to come out with WM6.
Thanks for the reply though.
Cheers

Sure, you don't have to, but I strongly recommend this. I bricked my Herald a couple of times while flashing from PDAViets WM6. My luck, I have a RUU to unbrick.
This one is for the newbees:
If you don't have a working WM5 RUU to unbrick your Herald, you should _NOT_ mess with this stuff.

Would it be by any chance a dutch one? The RUU Rom.

NO, definately NOT. I searched my ass off for the Dutch HTC ROM.. But there simply is none. The only chance for unbricking is contacts inside telecom Repair Centre or sending your device to HTC. Or of course the (way too long taking) WM6 update from HTC..

If the WM6 update from HTC arrives how will we be able to use it. My phone allways complains about the 'vender id' when I use a WWE ROM. Why would it accept a HTC ROM?
Is there still hope?

hello i have a question about the WM5 RUU. can ik make it whit my one p4350 dutch???
if it can, how can i do that??

Well obviously the WWE RUU isn't for your phone. If you have a dutch phone you need a Dutch RUU, if you have a German phone then you need a German RUU and so on.
When HTC releases the WM6 RUU they should release one for each language.

Sended HTC an email 4 days ago, men what a **** company that is...I still haven't got a response. Is it me or is this a really bad company in supplying support....never had these problems when I had other devices (Mio A701).
Anyone got any news from them ?

Yesterday they said that the update will be in August.
I hope...

HTC doesn't have any ROM update for this device available yet.
If you require to re-flash your device than you need to send it in for repair.
Go to www.eurotwice.be
=> select language
=> Private user
=> Place your order

Vendor Id
Last day of my vacantion. What's in the upload? The new WM6 updates!
Let's try the Dutch one. Still got the Invalid Vendor Id message...
Do I have to wait for the Vodafone update?
How can I remove this Vendor Lock when I can't boot my device into WM5 or WM6?

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.

Can't update my HTC?

HI I m still a noob in this sh*t.
I can't seem to do updates to my HTC kaiser.
The reason I wanna do that is because I can't install the tomtom that comes with the application cd because my phone tells me that I need to do the updates.
I have an htc orange but I live in Canada so it's unlocked.
ROM version: 3.03.405.0WWE
Date: 01/08/08
Radio version 1.64.06.04
Any help would be very apreciative.
I'm really tryin to find a thread that explains that but I just can't
Thanks

If you want to be more knowledgeable its always good to take a look at the wiki.
As for updates, could you be more specific please? Do you mean a ROM update or a software update? Perhaps posting exactly what the message says would help.

thank you for replying¸
When I go to install the Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716:
On the computer instalation goes normally
Then the pc tells me that I need to chek for additional... on phone
On the phone it says here is the message: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to the HTC website I try to update and I can't do it because when I put my serial code it tells me that my phone is not compatible
Now Ive made some search and found a post saying that ORANGE kaiser can't get the updates for reasons to hi-tech for me to understand. And that if yo actually do it via some type of hack your phone will be locked wish I don t want to happen.
Please help the only reason I bought this phone is for the GPS
I'll keep on trying to understand on xda

All HTC phones are sold with a specific rom for that phone or for that phone's carrier. Your phone is locked to that rom. It is HTC and your carriers way of controlling what rom you flash to your phone. Presumingly to stop people from screwing up their phones by flashing incompatible roms, and then looking to HTC for a new phone.
If you have an Orange phone, then you can only flash roms approved by Orange and the one you are trying to use is apparently not approved. Unlocked, only means that it is sim unlocked, not CID unlocked.
Were you originally trying to update a program or a rom ?

The question is there. What CD? Did it come with the phone or was it bought separately? What Tomtom version? What exactly does it say when it tells you to "do the updates"? Is it Tomtom saying that, or whatever else?
In other words, what exactly do you have at hand now, what are you trying to do and what is the problem encountered?
It will be hard to help you if we can't understand the situation.

Thanks for both replies
When I got my phone wish I bought from europe over the net, it didn t come with the application cd. I wanted to install tomtom on it and because I didn t have the cd then I couldn't do it.
I searched xda-developers site and I found a link to the application cd contents.
I got the folling:
3gnetopt.exe
Installer_Kaiser_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_GPRSMonitor_2.4.5_b938_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716
SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup
Now whenever I try to install any of those the instalation goes perfectly on the PC ( same way when I install anyother program on my PPC) then I get to the part where the PC tells me:
Please chek your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are necessary to complete instalation.
And on my PPC I see: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to HTC website for updates, I enter my serial and it tells me:
can t update because my phone is not compatible

You have to unlock the CID and flash a HardSPL if you are going to install a non-orange ROM. (Yes, this rule applies even if you are going to flash the HTC OEM ROM)

I m goin to do CID-unlock but will that affect my SIM unlock

No. Once your SIM is unlocked, it remains that way.

never mind I got it

Is it normal that when I flashed the new rom it says that I m using 61% of the memory from the start. Insted of the usual 30% for the regular wm6 rom

Problem with HTC Kaiser Tytn II - please help...

So my problem is - I put android on my htc tytn II and it worked (well kinda) but anyway I decided to switch back to Windows Mobile...
I installed 1.27.x.x radio , found a Windows Mobile 6 ROM and put (Like in the instructions ) Kaisimg.nbh(renamed from ruu_signed.nbh) and Kaisdiag.nbh to my SD card and then started flashing... It flashed smth,rebooted automatically and started booting android again...
Then I hold again camera button + power+ reset and since then when I put EVERY .nbh file on my sd card and try to flash it it STUCK on "Loading.." If I try to flash it with USB It stays at 0%.
The only exeption is if I try to flash from USB the rom that I tried to flash before from my sd card.. then it starts 0%..1% and reboot the phone...
P.S: Please help me...I think my device is not Broken but I dont know what should I do to fix it...

To flash back to WM from android put your kaiser into bootloader (multi colored screen) Then connect to usb. Download any WM build that is recent (I suggest Phoenix 3 for this, you can flash whatever you want later). After you download it open and run the included RUU that came with it and it will flash it on there.

hmm, I also had experienced the similar problem on my 1st time flashing back to WinMo.
When you are trying to flash via USB cable and the process stopped at 1% I guess there is also a message about "Invalid vender ID" right?
and if the text in your bootloader (tricolor screen) doesn't mention anything about hard such as "3.29.0000" (not "3.29.hard")
then
you've lost your hard SPL that's why you cant flash any .nbh to your phone.
I had managed to solve this problem by flashing stock WM rom for kaiser. The rom also has to be suitable for your phone, I mean if your kaiser is originally from France, then use French kaiser stock rom. Or if you are using AT&T Tilt use kaiser cingular stock rom.
you can find the list of shipped roms for kaiser here :
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
If you still have the "invalid vender ID" error message, try another stock ROM.

Thanks man you're my hero! I though I lost my phone.. anyway i bought new one - Nokia 2730 Classic but Ill sell the kaiser...
Thanks Anyway ... you're god!

Have the same problem...
Firstly, I'd like to point that the reason for the hard SPL getting overwritten by an original SPL is NOT HAVING UPDATED HARDSPL to a newer version that prevents accidental overwrite. This is instructed in the previous steps before actually installing Android. That was my mistake (I had HardSPL 1.0 OliPof), and now I can't flash no rom to my Kaiser (which thankfully works quite well in Android).
What happens (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that "KAISDIAG.NBH" is a modified, standalone hardSPL that will flash to the phone the SPL that comes with the "KAISIMG.NBH" you put in your SD card with "KAISDIAG.NBH"). In my case, I used the WinMo 6.1 spanish version 3.29.412.0, which, resulted in my phone being flashed with the original SPL 3.29.
Now, it seems many users have fixed this locating the correct stock rom and flashing it in their Kaisers. But to others, like myself, nothing seems to work. I believe that this is because we not only need a stock rom for our specific Kaiser model, but also it has to be compatible with the SPL that accidentally got installed in the phone. The problem is what if such rom doesn't even exists?
I'm really thankfull for all I learned by reading the forums (and from my mistakes ) and I know I'm in no position to make requests, but here goes what I think could help the users like myself to fix this, if posible:
1) Guide to identify what model of Kaiser we have (maybe it's already there, I just couldn't find it)
2) Complete list (or lists) of stock roms (There are some around, those are easy to find I think, but it doesn't hurt to share different sources)
3) Something like a JumpSPL for Android would be more than awesome...
Thanks in advance to everybody, sorry for my own stupidity . Any idea or help would be much appreciated,
Daniel

hmm, I'm not sure if it has to be compatible with the SPL.
In my case, I was flashing a very old WWE stock rom which has original SPL 1.56.
I also had been very desperate because any stock rom I found seems doesn't work and I even didn't know where originally my kaiser came from because I get it from my uncle. So I tried to flash any WWE stock rom I could found but nothing works. I read from Wikipedia that based on my phone model (Kais100), this model was only sold as AT&T tilt for US. But the problem is my phone is HTC branded, not AT&T tilt. Well, based on this information I also tried to flash some cingular stock rom but the result was just the same.
After contacting HTC Customer care, I know more info about my phone. They told me that based on my phone product ID, my kaiser was originally shipped for US, but unfortunately they can't provide me stock rom for my phone model. So I searched myself but this time I had better objective : to search HTC branded rom but for US.
finally, after days of search. I've found the rom that is suitable for my phone. Its called HTC WWE Brightpoint US which has original SPL 3.29 at the bottom of the list on the website I told you on my previous post.
few weeks ago I also accidentally overwrite my HardSPL again, but this time I did it with the stock ROM which has original SPL 3.29. But this problem also solved by flashing the stock ROM I've found before via USB cable.
So, I guess it has nothing to do with spl version.
Keep tying don't give up.

Update: Step 1 completed! YAY
Using the serial number and some obscure google searching, I came to the conclusion my KAIS130 is australian. Cheers, mate!
I verified this by being able to download stock roms from the australian HTC site with my Kaiser serial number. But at the moment of writing this, have downloaded two roms and no luck yet. 5 minutes remaining for the third one... Wish me luck...
Daniel.

Well... Now what?
Tried all four rom-like thingies I could download on the HTC page, all of them returning error 294...
Now what? try to somehow extract the .nbhs from the exes and and use customRUU.exe? Try to flash from SD card?
Please help... Any ideas... I really want to get rid from that original SPL3.29.0000 It's evil!!! I think it won't never let me flash again.
Thanks,
Daniel

well, extract the .nbh from exe and flash it via sd card is the method that made me overwrite my hard SPL in the first place.
hmm, did your phone comes with operator brand, such as three or something?

No, it's HTC unbranded. Now, something strange here: the label behind the battery has the serial number: HT830GB06075 and the P/N (guess it's part number) :99HCY194-00, but to the left of the camera, another label with the part number: 36H00563-00M and below says DATE:061107(TB02)/US.
I don't know if that's normal, but it caught my atention because my phone seems to have been dissasembled (little label over screw is teared). Maybe my Kaiser isn't Australian after all...

[Q] Help: How to Revert to Stock WP6.5?

Hey guys,
I've searched everywhere but there's no definitive guide to revert to stock from WP7. Pretty much, I tried out WP7 on my dad's HD2, but he didn't like it. So I need to revert it, but there's so much stuff to know that it all gets pretty intimidating.
Anyways,
HTC HD2 w/ Windows Phone 7 (Using aMAGLDR V1.12 - Build: Jan 12 2001, 21:09:22 - by Cotulla 2011 [this ONLY, no other mods present])
Trying to convert back to Windows Phone 6.5
Using Windows XP
Have d/led Windows Active Sync but it won't connect to the PC even when the USB is plugged in. (I'm guessing this is the reason why I can't revert to stock, it won't even connect to the PC)
I've also d/led the latest stock RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship from the forums.
It looks like I have all the resources but my PC won't even recognize the phone being connected to the computer. Must I do anything else besides attempting to flash the stock ROM?
Thanks A LOOOOTTTTT in advance!

I have the Exact same question anybody help please?

It might be you don't have the drivers installed that are needed, your antivirus could be preventing a connection, I had a similar problem where it seemed that it didn't recognize my phone uninstalled sync when into my bootloader it didn't seem to recognize my phone tasked 29 and it went through without a problem

::BUMP::
PLEASE someone help me out, this is getting soo frustrating, I switched to my laptop running Vista and it still won't recognize it.
I d/led Windows Mobile Device Center and it STILL won't work.
Please anyone.

Enter the bootloader screen then plug phone in and wait for it to say USB at the bottom then flash the stock rom from t-mobile

Do what he says in post above mine.
Or flash using SD-Card method!
Also read the MAGDLR thread dummy, there you also see how to revert back
