Upgrade freezing during flash - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I have a 8525. I had XDA LIVE .20 with hard SPPL and radio 1.34. Was upgrading to LVSW WM6 Pro and upgrading stuck at 68%. Did the recovery and tried to upgrade again where it froze again at 68%. Could get back into bootloader so I tried to upgrade to XDA LIVE .21 and this time it froze at 69%. Did the recovery, got back to bootloader and tried again where it froze at 69% again. Got phone back to bootloader, rebooted computer, and then flashed Cingular 1.34 and everything seemed to work got ROM 1.34 and stayed at radio 1.34. Reflashed hard SPPL, then tried LVSM WM6 Pro again and it froze at 68% again. I'm at a lost. Have done many flashes with my 8525 and many with my SX66 and never have seen anything like this. Anyone have any thoughts?

I thought I might have bricked my device, but I can always get ROM 1.34_shipped back loaded. With all the new tools out there - the big question is: I want to upgrade the ROM, do I put Hard-SPL on or HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3 on or both. I was unlocked before but know don't know. The WIKI isn't very clear on this.

imate kjam won't boot past splash

Hi,
First, I ran some tests on my kjam. The kjam came default with the kjam rom on it, naturally. I wanted to CID unlock this phone, so I downgraded the rom to button's "beer glass" splash screen rom. Then I was able to run aWizard successfully to CID unlock the phone. I then upgraded back to the original kjam rom. Both the downgrade and the upgrade went smoothly.
I then found out I wanted to customize my splash, so I downgraded again. I customized the main splash (not the HTC one) using aWizard. Worked like a charm. I also ran some extra itsme tools to read and write from rom in some locations I needed access to.
Everything was working great at that point. But the downgrade ROM didn't properly respond to some of the printed keys on the kjam keyboard, so I thought I should upgrade again. However, this time, I decided I want to keep my splash etc., so I tried to upgrade only my radio and OS rom, as backed up by aWizard previously from the original kjam ROM. I used aWizard to restore the selected areas of ROM, rather than the RUU tool.
I upgraded the radio ROM, didn't reboot the device to keep the radio and OS in sync, upgraded the OS ROM, just as that was happening, the phone received a phone call (or text message, do not know which), and hung. While the aWizard eventually completed the upgrade, the phone did not reboot or "un-hang" itself after aWizard displayed success (there was no error on the console window).
So I soft rebooted the phone. The splash screen came, but without a GSM version on it. I was like, "shoot!", something bad must have happened, lets just put the full kjam rom on this, and get it over with - never mind the custom splashes. So I went into bootloader and applied the kjam rom.
Now it displayed the GSM version as well on the splash screen, but again, it never left the splash screen. I was like, again, "shoot!", lets just go back to that old downgrade ROM with the funny keyboard, then we can figure this out again. So I went into the bootloader and applied the downgrade ROM.
Alas, the beer glass splash screen remained hung as well! And actually, since then, I've downloaded and installed ALL ROMs I've been able to find - ALL of them have hung.
My bootloader is still working fine and dandy...any idea why this might be happening? Was the problem in the phone call I received? In using aWizard without rebooting? In using aWizard at all? In trying to manually edit the machine ROM using itsme tools (mind you, those edits worked fine until I started updating the GSM/OS ROM)?
And oh, after hanging for a while on the splash screen, the phone screen starts flickering real bad (whilst still on the splash); in case that provides any help.
To clarify the bootloader situation a little more:
I've got FULL bootloader capability. I can mtty into it, I can write commands, I can install full new ROMs from the bootloader, etc. So this would seem to indicate my phone may not be a brick yet...its a brick that can display changeable wallpapers I even figured out how to draw progress bars and write text to the bootloader screen using MTTY commands. Fun, actually! Its a $700 etch-a-sketch pad

good luck
Can any of you facing same problem post the reason(s) you believe to be responsible for the situation?
I think that in my case (yes, it happened to me too) was the fact that i flashed only OS chunk ending up with IPL/SPL 1.xxx and OS 2.xxx and i didn't use any RUU; instead i used an itsme program (podcread.exe)

Screen fades to black when trying to flash ROMs

Hello everyone.
Apologies if this has been addressed somewhere already, but if this is the case, I was unable to find it.
I have a French Orange Diamond, which I was able to flash w/o problems with Hrad-SPL 1.30 by Olinext, and then with the RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship Rom. This worked flawlessly, and I have been a very happy camper since!
Tonight, I tried to upgrade the radio ROM to 1.00.25.05. To do so, I first installed the developer version of Hard-SPL 1.40 by Olinext, which went very well. Then, I tried flashing the radio, and instead of getting the bootloader, I got the colorwheel, and almost immediately afterwards the phone screen faded to complete black. After a little while, the ActiveSync (4.5) window disappeared from my XP SP3 PC screen, and the phone waited there until the flash process timeed out and it entered recovery mode. This happens every time now, and I am always able to recover perfectly.
Thinking it might be related to the Hard-SPL, I flashed back to version 1.30 by Olinext, and then even reverted back to the stock 1.37. Whenever flashing an SPL, the screen still fades to black, but the process completes ok, whereas whenever I try to flash the radio, it will always time out with an Error 262, apparently comms-related.
Has anyone encountered this in the past? Anyone know what/how to fix?
Thanks!
P.S. I forgot to mention that if I copy the EnterBootloader.exe onto the phone and run it from there, the screen will also fade to black in exactly the same way.

HELP! - Cannot flash bootloader away from SPL-0.41.coke

I have a major issue here. Please bear with me.
I flash my phone to the official 6.1 rom a few months back. Now I recently decided to try a custom rom by NFSFAN. So first thing was to flash the bootloader by IMCokeMan version 0.41. After doing that I flashed the custom rom. Once it booted up my phone kept reboot itself every few seconds or so. It turns out now that it was a battery issue, but I was sure the battery was fine and thought it was simply an incompatibility issue with the rom.
So I then tried to flash the official 6.1 rom back on, but it froze at 44% and then threw a 262 error after a minute or so. I then learned that I needed to flash the IMCokeMan 0.40 unlocker/relocker to get the official rom back on. So I did. Then tried the official rom again, and lone behold, froze at 44% and then gives the 262 error.
Then I thought I'd try the NFSFAN's rom again. So I flashed that. Once it successfully finished and started to load it freezes at the Telus splash screen and "No Radio" appears in red on the screen.
So this is where I'm at. I've tried to flash nearly every bootloader I could find and no matter what I do the bootloader always shows "SPL-0.41.coke". I can't flash any official rom including Telus, Bell or Sprint as they each freeze at different spots but consistently at the same spot individually (Telus at 44%, Bell at 30-some%, Sprint at 29%). I can flash custom roms as well as the beta wm6.5 rom but those don't fully load and give the "No Radio" error.
The ONLY rom I can successfully flash is an old 6.0 rom that someone dumped from a telus vogue. But in this rom under "Device Information" the rom is 1.11.661.1 and the radio version field is blank! And I cannot make data connections, as in I cannot connect to the internet, etc.
So my question to anyone that may know is: why am I having these issues with the radio version? How can I get rid of the SPL-0.41.coke bootloader?
And what can I do at this point? Any help from anyone is a thousand times over appreciated!

*********** bump-a-doo? *************
eeps! similar issue! did I brick it???
My symptoms are different, but the way I got there is pretty much the same:
I wanted to try NFSFAN's 1.28 Bell rom, so I unlocked with IMCokeMan's 2.31 unlocker (2.31 instead of 0.41 because I had previously upgraded to UTStarcom's Bell WM6.1 rom with the 3.42.50 radio when it came out). The unlock process went smoothly, and I had no problem flashing NFSFAN's 1.28 rom after that either.
NSFAN's RUU said I was successful, and my Vogue automatically restarted but got hung up on the "Bell" splash screen, I tried to let it work itself out for over 15 minutes before I tried a reset, but it still had the same problem. Tried a hard reset: same problem. I let it sit connected to the charger for a half week now and it still is hung at the "Bell" splash screen.
I'd try to flash the stock rom again, but I can't get the RUU to work without an activesync connection (right?).
Did I brick it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's everything my version-screen says if it helps at all:
M 03
B 01
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.42.50
D 3NFS (is that NFSFAN's rom or an error?)

I've been reading through the ImCoKeMaN's unlocker sticky (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370), and I noticed there is a "VERY IMPORTANT / Warning" referring to the 0.40 rom you used. Here's what it says:
If your carrier did not release a rom and you flash an exe of another carrier with the 0.40 unlocker you won't be able to flash ANY rom until unlocking again (this requires booting into WM)

Thats the problem im having theres no way I know to get passed that screen that says no radio. So you can't even get into WM. So since it cant load into WM you can't run the unlocker. Most custom roms flash fine but its the radio thats missing it wont go past that.

You do NOT need to be in WM to unlock, WM has nothing to do with it
Start phone in bootloader mode (power+camera+stylus in reset hole and hold this until the 3 color screen comes up) it will say serial at the bottom
Plug in the USB cable to your PC and it will change to say USB
Start the 2.31 Unlocker RUU.EXE (RomUpdateUtility.exe) file, follow the steps
then run your custom ROM when after it restarts do does it thing and reboots again by going back into bootloader mode and doubleclicking the RUU.exe file in the custom ROM folder you want to use
Once it runs through the setup after flashing and then the autorun and restarts - hard reset the phone (red+green+stylus in hole) until a gray screen comes up
Follow directions and then setup and autorun and reboot
Make sure you have a carrier cab and/or mms fix either on your PC to copy over to your phone or on your SD Card ahead of time and you should be set to go

I answered his question on his thread. You forgot one thing though Doug. He doesn't have a radio. He'll need to flash back to stock before he flashes a custom. Doesn't this get frustrating???

Please help!!!

Ok, I'm with Bell mobility, had nsf's 6.5 rom installed. I had t osend my phone in for repair, so I needed to downgrade.
I read the instructions and put the coke 0.41 unlocker on, Now I try putting on the original bell rom and it stops at 31% and says theres a error.
What I've tried
-Restarting the rom, keeps erroring at 31%
-Tried the unlocker again, says no device connected
-Tried the 2.31 unlocker still says nothing connected
Somebody please help
Why do people keep using the .41 unlocker? That is for non-gps devices.
You need to flash the .40 unlocker, then the stock ROM.
Flash from bootloader (Power+ Camera button, and stylus reset)
Thanks for your quick response, I got it back up by putting the custom rom back on, but as you just said the wrong unlocked
where would i get .40
I found 0.40
Now do I just downgrade the unlocker, let it restart the device and everything it does and then install the stock rom?
Yep.
10chars
ok so I installed 0.40, and then the stock rom
It stopped at 31% again, I followed the recovery, removed the battery and it went back to stock!!!
Thanks
ok have a new problem, Now it turns on, Gets to the today screen and I get the error "\windows\ppst.exe does not exist" And it won't let me do anything, have to take the battery out
You're going to want to flash it again. It should have gone all the way through. ppst.exe is loaded during customizations.
Ok, so now activesync won't connect, so it won't let me flash the rom again
my internet won't work on it, I'm guessing it has to do with ppst.exe not installing.
What should I do now
Put the phone into bootloader, then flash. Don't worry about activesync right now.
Ok so heres an update. I finally got the .40 unlocker working and reinstalled the original rom, but it said PPST.exe was missing. I tried a hard reset and it still said PPST.exe was missing from \Windows
I tried again to reflash the original rom that I downloaded from the htc website for bell and still got PPST.exe is missing.
I installed 2.31 unlocker and put nsf's wm 6.5 on and everything works fine
But I need to know why PPST isn't working so I can replace the original

Vogue Stuck at Colors Screen

Ok so i just recently got a Verizon XV6900 (Vogue), i tried flashing the NFSFANS wm6.1 and wm6.5 roms but both of these would constantly cause my device to reboot if it wasn't plugged via USB. So i tried reflashing it back to the original 6.1 pro that came on the phone by using the one from the HTC Website, that failed after 31% and i had to recover it. Now the device is just stuck at the screen with the 3 colors with the message
Vogu100
SPL - 2.01.0000
CPLD-3
i have no idea what to do to get out of this, sorry I'm a complete noob and I tried searching but I couldn't find what i was looking for
Any help is appreciated
Your Vogue is not unlocked. Try running the unlocker (.40) again. Once that is done, unlock using the 2.31 unlocker. You should then be ready to flash a custom ROM.

just plug it back in and try to reflash the stock ROM. don't open any programs on your computer while you are flashing. i tried to open a media player to listen to music and it froze the RUU. just flash it again it worked for me.
