Hi y'all
I've tried unlocking my SX56/XDA from ATT and all went well using the XDAUnlocker tools and roms etc...., but.....
while 'flashing' the rom my pc crashed and rebooted. now my sx56 is stuck in the 'upgrading; will only take 5 minutes' screen. I've tried a hard reset and that don't work. I can't even get the phone connected with activesynch
Can anybody help me please??
Thx; a newbie
Update
Just sat here and browsed the forum for any possible help regarding my problem; there is a solution I'm going to try out.
Flash the rom (build w/ lumpistefan rom kitchen) via bootloader with SD card; now all I need is to buy a SD/MMC cardwriter and I'm on my way.......
Will let you guys know what happens because I've found more peeps with the same prolem.
Oh a quick note: I've bootloader 5.22 and it does recognize a new rom when inserting a SD card with rom; it will ask you to format or download....... Well here goes nothing
L8R
As long as you can get to bootloader it should be fine for sd flashing.
All worked fine
Ok all worked fine; i'll include a step by step (found here ain the forum and will give credits to it) later. i'm kinda in a hurry....... When i upgrade from pc02 to wm03 will i loose all data? if i backup and try to reload data it will not except it?
Please thank these people
I fixed my sx56 with help from these guys after searching and searching
please thank these guys for the solution because all credits go to them.

After many flashings of roms, I finally flashed back to the official AT&T WM6 rom located at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334771
My phone, even with my new sim card doesn't pick up any reception at all. All I get is the two arrows with the "x" and that other weird symbol with the exclamation point next to it.
I have a tilt and when I pop my sim inside, it works perfectly, no hiccups what so ever.
I live here in Hawaii and we just recently turned on the 3G network and I'm not sure if it affects my 8525.
Any ideas on what may be wrong? I had used Black Majiks WM6 on my 8525 previously but this past Monday I had issues with it so I tried flashing a bunch of times and still no fix.
I've searched through the threads for the last 2 days and everything I've tried so far hasn't work and I'm really desperate and need input from more professional users. PLEASE!!!
More information regarding phone problem.
When I try hit the green phone button, it doesn't do anything. Also going to phone settings under the settings menu, and it doesn't go there! Don't know why, I try to click it and nothing. Other icons work, not that one though.
This is getting ever more frustrating and I'm still searching through the thread for possible solutions, but nothing. Someone out there has to have some clue as to what may be wrong!
Found out another thing that might be of importance.
When I reset my device, soft or just turning it off and on, I get a "No GSM" on the AT&T screen.
Man, I've even gone as far as visiting Mr. Vanx's site to downgrade everything back to WM5. I still get the "No GSM" on my startup screen and no connection!
WTF?????????????
Well if you can get to the boot loader try flashing the official rom from HTC's Site for your phone. I'm not saying the one you DLe'd from here was bad but maybe it's just not the right one for your phone for some reason.
http://www.america.htc.com/
Well not to say the ROM you DL'ed from here was bad or anything but if you can get to the bootloader flash the officially released ROM from http://www.america.htc.com/ for your phone and see if that fixes your problem. Maybe the ROM you got from here is just not the right one for your phone or something. Worh a try anyway as you can't really use it as is.

You know, the weird thing is that I tried to download stuff from the American HTC site, and I can only max out at 10.0kbps and I can NEVER get the whole file, only 15% maybe.
Talk about running into one problem after the other.
Is there a mirror out there somewhere?

Ok thanks for the uploads. Got the file. I just want to make sure if I should upgrade to Hard-SPL V7 before I use the update the rom?
I went all the way back to Herm SPL 1.06 and Cingular WM5. Don't want to brick the phone so wanted confirmation before I do anything else. Can't afford for things to get more messed up.

Well I like using Hard-SPL V7 especially for the cooked roms as it gives you a bit of safety, but the rom I uploaded here is the Official HTC America / ATT Rom so you can follow their flash instructions for it. I even successfully flashed this ROM from VISTA 64 bit with no problem to my Herm 100.
As with any Flashing their is always a risk if something should go wrong that you will have a brick but your already near that point as you can't do anything with the phone at this point anyway.
GL & let us know how you make out.
Hello everyone, I am really new to this forum having received the Dash 2 days ago. Looking to get it up to speed I flashed the 6.5 Energy Rom according to instructions. I think that was a very bad move, because now the cellphone is stuck on the Loading Energy Rom screen. I have searched the forum for answer and have already tried the following:
1- Entering bootloader and flashing original ROM. No luck because EVERY rom I have gotten, be it from here and T-Mobile, it says invalid vendor ID.
2-Tried to perform a hard reset. Did not work.
3-Flash the original ROM through the memory card. No avail.
The phone cannot connect to active sync, so I can't install any cooked ROMS. I think the solution is installing the original ROM by the bootloader, but I cant seem to find a compatible one. My cell information is the following:
Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU
EXCA 100 S/N SZ713FE05873.
Is there any way with that information someone can tell me which ROM to use? Or any other tip/hint/suggestion? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have the same Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU value and i was able to restore my phone to working status with the following ROM

That's odd, I was able to restore my Excalibur/Dash after flashing the corrupted EnergyRom.
Hope you will find a way to resolve your problem.
10507
But how did you do it? Flashing it through USB or through the memory card? The weird thing is that when I run the EXE the cellphone that appears in the picture of the program is an SDA. But well I will try it again and thank you for the help!
I used bootloader method and connected my phone through USB for flashing. Remember to remove your memory card when flashing.
well, I've been in your situation for almost 3 days now, and still no solution for it, maybe it's time to put it in the box and purchase a new one , all thanks to the broken EnergyROM ...
Ok guys. Don't give up. Believe it or not, a Dash is NOT easy to brick like some other devices. the steps are fairly clear but let me refresh:
- Go into bootloader by holding the camera button and powering on the phone
- Connect the USB cable, you will hear the ba-bing USB connect sound on your PC (if u don't thats why you're having issues flashing)
- Download and unpack a "factory sealed" signed ROM. I use this one: http://rapidshare.com/files/7886560...S_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe.html
- With USB connected and the phone in the multicolor bootloader, run RomUpdateUtility.exe, check the boxes, it next, bla bla bla.
- It will look for your device for 20 seconds. then hit "update" and next.
- It should then start flashing the Excalibur Brightpoint Factory ROM back onto your phone
- If you can't get this far or it fails, try a different PC or Flash from the SDcard
** NOTE: If flashing from USB, REMOVE the SD CARD! This is the biggest mistake of most people trying to flash from USB.
Good luck.

Thanks ookba for cheering us up. I'm having the same problem like many, many people in this forum hopeless seeing our dash not responding to every solution proposed in this forum and the only thing that we have right now is keep trying to flash and see if it works. I will try again in different PC and see what happens. I'll let all of you know if I finally resurrect my s621.
Thanks everyone for all the help! It's hard to find people that are so helpful on internet forums. I'm still in the same situation as gmaniac and alexalexoe but hopefully we can find something that will fix our problems

This problem is ridiculously weird to why some members are able to restore their phone to original factory condition, and others are not able. Therefore, I have search from trustworthy sites and from friends for difference made ROM. Hopefully, one of these ROMs with help out anyone...........

Thanks 105507 but no success at all, I even found 2 more factory roms in the web and also they don't work. I own an unbranded international version s621 manufactured by Brightstar corporation (I tried to flash Brightstar's stock rom but it didn't work) and I noticed this because in the warranty docs it says brigthstar corporation and originally the phone came with WM5.
not that this will help. but this is one of the reasons why people should be really installing the hardspl so if you have a bad flash, you dont have to install a stock rom. any rom whether be it cooked or not will work. but this hardspl must be done prior to installing ANY rom. the hard spl is done by jockyw2001. send him a pm to see if theres anyway to get that on the phone, even in its current state.
edit: here's the link to the hardspl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605

I'm trying to find the original rom of this line but not found. Please help me!
Have you done a reset? My friend fixed his by trying reset a few times. He reset it, walked away...., it took long time to see whether it booted over; if not, do it again...
By the way, he leave the sim card in; and, you need to remove your micro sd card.
On an official site it is possible download ROM for your phone. It is flashing from bootloder mode. It some times helped me, while I have not flashed hard SPL.

hello everyone..
this morning I was intended to revert my kaiser back to WM 6.1,
I followed the instruction to put the ROM to my SD card along with KAISDIAG.nbh.
but maybe I chose a wrong rom, as the process goes, I just realize that the process was deleting my hard SPL..
now the text my 3 color display only says "SPL-1.56.0000"
but the android is still working....
so now my phone run on android without hard SPL...
could anyone help me? is it possible to install a hard SPL from android?
flashing from SD card doesn't works because I don't have any hard SPL installed..
There is no way at present to install hardspl from android, since we cannot run jumpspl, however you should still be able to flash a stock 6.1 rom using usb method.
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
I have tried, but the process always failed with connection notification.It says that update utility cannot connect with my pda phone.
Well the problem is, flashing with usb method needs activesync connection with the computer. since microsoft activesync doesn't applicable anymore, I have no idea how to build connection with my phone. Besides, nothing seems happened every time I connect my phone with usb cable. Its just like my pc couldn't detect the device.
Should I install some kind of programs first on my pc? or am I miss some steps to make my phone detected by my computer?
I'm using windows xp by the way..
The CustomRUU still works for me if you boot the phone into SPL first (reset and camera+power buttons) then plug it into the computer and run the RUU (no activesync connection), so you should be able to flash a WM ROM, then you can sort out the HardSPL later
EDIT: Or does that only work for me because I have already got HardSPL?
yes it works..
the process goes, but only for 1 % . my phone reset itself and the notification on my pc says about invalid vender ID "this update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone, please check your update utility."
since the only stock rom that I found is .exe which is extract itself, I couldn't use The CustomRUU. Could this be the problem? or do I choose a wrong rom?
edit : I'm trying to install Factory Shipped ROM form HTC
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
Do you know where to find stock rom for kaiser? most of the post about stock rom leads me to wiki xda, which is not available anymore.
thanks.
Not sure if these will work, but there are links to original HTC and ATT ROMs here
Also at the bottom of that post is a link to some reconstructed original ROMs
I have no idea if these will work any better than the one you've already tried, but it's probably worth having a go
thanks for the link..
I have visited that thread before, actually the 1st ROM that I tried to flash is also from that page. Both original ROMs for HTCor ATT doesn't works for my phone. But thanks to you I just realize the link about some reconstructed original ROMs.
Well, My phone is KAIS-100 which is made in Taiwan.
I guess I'll try Chinesse HTC 1.56.708.3.
I hope this one will make a progress.
-----------------------------------------
aww... still not working..
with reconstructed ROM, the process stuck at 0%, give me error [262] notification : update error. The manual said that if this kind of error occurred, I just need to do soft reset and run RUU again. I have tried several times even restart my pc first, but still not working.. any suggestion?
Try to flash radio. If you can't do it i think that you have messed up the bootloader
I can't...
the result is same, I'm trying to flash KAIS_Radinly_1701909 or KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1710901_Custom, I got stuck in 0% with error [262]
The text in my bootloader says
KAIS-100
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
So, is there nothing else I could do if I have broke my bootloader?
No one can help me anymore? T-T
(running to the middle of the street and shout "why God, why??")
So, the lesson is :
If you are trying to flash back to windows mobile, DO NOT use factory shipped rom. Because it will modify your hard SPL and downgrade your radio version.
If the process failed and your hard SPL gone, you will get stuck in half working android without being able to flash anything, including correct your radio version, or reflash your kernel to fix your panel setting.
correct me if I'm wrong..
well, I hope my experience could be useful for you.
Thanks.
You can extract the exe file with winrar and you'll have all the files including RUU_signed.nbh
Rename it to kaisimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
Don't know if you can install from sdcard but since it's the shipped rom it might let you.
thank you salac..
I also have tried that method, using winrar to extract exe files.
but still, no luck for me..
Flashing via SD card got me stuck at loading screen, and I also tried to use custom RUU to flash the files via usb but my phone reset itself at 1% of the process and gives me error message [294] : invalid vender ID.
SOLVED
Finally
after days of yearning..
I found a suitable WM 6.1 ROM for my kaiser.
My phone is KAIS 100 HTC P4551. Usually, KAIS 100 model is for AT&T but mine is HTC branded, so that's why AT&T stock ROM won't works and my phone was originally shipped for US, that's why most of WWE stock ROMs always give me error 294.
So, basically I have to use HTC WWE ROM for US and this is really gives me hard time since HTC US website only provide ROM for AT&T.
In case you have same problem with me, I have uploaded the ROM at rapidshare
and you could find it here.
Now, I can flash a hardSPL, fix my radio version....
and flash back to android..
Thanks for all your help! My phone is fix now.
Hello (hopefully) friendly xda users,
I will try and be as detailed in the post as I can to make both your lives and mine as painless as possible!
So, last week I bought a brand new HTC M8s from the shop. I live in the UK, however I bought the phone in Germany because it was cheaper over there. The phone is unlocked (I didn't buy it on contract, I bought it outright). The phone is on EE, here in the UK (not sure if you need to know that but I'm being detailed).
My previous phone was an IPhone 4 (I know... sorry!) which I’ve had for over 5 years, I bought it at launch back then and haven’t had a new phone since. I'm no longer an Apple user, and have gladly come to the realisation that Apple isn't all that; I feel I can say that here and not get in trouble. I've had my eye on the HTC M8 for a while and finely to the plunge; and just bought it.
I had read that you could put a sort of stock google android (Google Play Edition) on the HTC M8, and that is what I had decided on doing. Straight out of the box. I know, all this is throwing up red flags all over the place; new to android, previous apple user, etc. but I ignored those and said to myself "I've jailbroken before, how hard can this rooting business really be". (Boy was I wrong!)
To cut an even longer story short, it all went tits up!
Sorry for all this preamble but I felt it was needed to help give some backroad info on the situation and help you better help me.
So this is how far I got:
I unlocked my bootloader.
My phone is not S-off. (No matter what guide I tried I couldn't get it S-off, I don't know; this could have been the problem.)
This is the sad part of the story:
The next step in the guide was to flash the recovery with a custom one. In the case TWRP.
I copied it all over and then hit recovery. Nothing. My phone just shuts down. "Crap! That's it I killed it." I think.
Anyway, I hard reset my phone and it starts up normally into android. Nothing seems to be wrong. (Feww! That was lucky!)
I try the same process again, same thing. It just turns off; no TWRP, no stock android, nothing.
At this point many hours have past and I'm giving up.
My phone is still working, it's not bricked; I think to myself it could have all gone a lot worse. I just decide to use the google now launcher off the play store and let that be the end of it. (It basically does what I want.)
However, the next day my phone tells me it needs to update. I think nothing of it, click download and install. My phone attempts to install the update then restart. Except now when it tries to restart it dose the exact same thing it did when I tried to install TWRP. It just turns off. I restart my phone, it boots into the android; nothing went wrong. I check and sure enough it didn't install the update. Odd I think, I try to update again (this time leaving it for at least 20 mins); same thing again. Just shuts down, no update.
Ok, I then think a factory reset might fix the problem. Both clicking factory reset from within android or the bootloader dose nothing the phone just shuts down.
To sum up the real problem.
I cannot install updates.
And I cannot factory reset my phone.
Here's what with (my limited knowledge and research), I think is wrong. I don't have a recovery...? So I need to reinstall a stock recovery or stock HTC version of the android OS?
I've read you need to use a RUU?
But instead of trying to tackle the situation on my own (like an idiot (like last time)), I'd do it properly this time and ask the XDA forums for help.
Again, I really know nothing about android; at all! So what I've said about recoveries and RUUs could be total crap for all I know! That said I'm not a total noob at computers and am not scared of using CMD prompt or things of that advanced nature. Really I just need someone to guide me through (in the most basic steps (from the beginning)) as to how to fix my phone. Talk to me as if I was a child and not an adult who should have known better!
Thank you in advanced for being to patient, and helping me fix this problem.
Cheers, FillNill
.P.s Just to be clear, I no longer want to turn my HTC m8 into the Google Play Edition, I just want to reset it back to the Sense version of android. So I can install updates and all that.
So your device is HTC M8s not the normal HTC M8.
