Stupid But Beloved Pda

OK my BELOVED X51v screen is on the fritz
(From an erlier post i made from a diffrent thread)
*********((Has any one else experianced flashing lines across the screen that almost looks like stactic off the the TV? I started getting it after I flashed to the newest ROM, I've tried to reflash twice, after the initial flashing, but im still getting the same problem. The "static" even showeed up on the boot screen of the firsat REflash. It seemed to get better but now I picked it back up and it was still doing it just a little bit, but enough to scare the crap out of me and let me know I didnt fix the problem even though it made it like 90% better than what it was, At first i couldn't even read the screen it was so bad. Im hoping I had a bad install with a corrupt file or somthing and not that my bassically new X51V is already broken. Im reflashing to the last rom now hopping that might fix the problem, If anyone knows what might be my problem I grately appreciate any advice. Also if this means anyhting it seems to get even worse when im playing music on it and the screen dims, it was looking fine with the back light on but then screwing up everytime that I turned the light off, I could be nothing because other times it was messed up even with the backlight on.))*******
and i cant find anyway to fix it so im thinking about sending it back to dell to see if they can either replace it or fix it, my ownly problem is i cant send it back with a "cooked" ROM. I tried to reinstall my WM5 A12 rom but when it goes to install the new ROM it disconects from my activesynct and my Windows Mobile Device Center depending on weather im trying to do it on my Vista computer or my XP. I REALLY want my x51v fixed, i tried getting the SD version of the A12 ROM but you have to make it yourself and i cont figure that part out, i can get up to the .nb0 file conversion but for the life of me i cant figure out how to make a .crc file that will work. Does anyone Please know a link to a downloaded pre-converted A12 file or atleast know how to help me figure out the stupid .crc file thanks so much in advance PLEASE help!!!

So Dell is going to send me a new PDA right now and I was just double checking that since I flashed back to the dell WM5 A12 ROM theres no way that they could find out that I used a Baked ROM right?! Just making sure so that my warenty Isn't discovered as void and I have to send my new PDA back.

No Connection with official AT&T WM6 Rom

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.

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.

Heeeellllppppp!!!!!!

I was flashing a my Hermes with a couple different ROMs (as I have done before) and for some reaason the one I got was a beta (which didnt specify). ANyways, now I cant even see my screen just a message that says 'This conlcudes the test of the software release....' Point is I cant get activesync to connect and can't get in to flash it to something better or what i had before.
The ROM i used was SX1.19949.3G.6MBPP
now I'm freaking out and can't seem to find it anywhere or how to fix it. Please somebody help me out here. WHat can I do?????
Also I found out this ROM is WM6.1 and maybe that's why its not connecting. I am trying to use Mobile Device center on vista to see if it connects but so far nothing on that end either.
Is there any other way of flashing that I can do without using activesync?
I figured it out. Thanks for looking though.
loooool.too funny.Check next time in threads, you might find answers. Same thing happened in 4.40beta in schaps, and he resolved it by guiding them through it.
Glad to know all went well with you

Invalid Tool Error

So..my phone is rather useless at the moment. Won't load the rom after freezing up while i slept last night. I go into bootloader and try to reflash but get the error "Invalid update tool" and it says something about a newer version. Has anyone had this error or know how to fix it? I am in desperate need of assistance here. Thank you for all replies in advance.
Edit: The exact error is as follows
Code:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was running Kavana cooked rom 6.1.
I have tried to reflash with atleast 5 different roms and they all present this error.
Just checking, but did you try the default ROM for your device? If it is a T-mobile Dash, you will want to use one the the Tmobile stock ROM's first.

I know this might be a stupid question of me but, did you do a hard reset?
Why would you make another thread regarding issues with your phone, when you already have a thread going about problems with your phone?
Please post accordingly You should've posted this other issue on your previous thread, rather than making a new one! Can you imagine if everyone would make a thread for every little issue with their phone?

It won't hard reset. I made a new topic because this is a completely different problem. I apologize if it was not necessary.
Bump.
Any ideas at all?
Ah yes.
My bomb didn't detonate until some time Wed/Thu night. 6am Thu morning I had to be at my local Polling Station where I was to be the 'Presiding Officer'.
Bad, bad timing.
Still, I managed a hard reset without the SD card in, (this took a few attempts), and having basic phone function, off I went to do my bit for European Democracy - honestly, the whole thing would be chaos without me ...
Anyway, I digress. I do that quite a lot. There was this one time ...
... I didn't get 'round to trying to sort it all out until Sat afternoon, (the phone, not the European Parliament), and as I have flashed this phone to buggery and beyond I expected it to take little time.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I downloaded the latest version of the Energy ROM, (love it, love it, love it), ran the .bat file and; error 270.
I sparked up the bootloader and, of course, no connected device meant no update. I tried various 'stock' ROMs and got the same error you describe.
In UK, my provider is BT and there is no image link in the stickies, (I have finally found one, I will send a Mod a link), and tracking a full basic .exe image proved really difficult.
However, once found, all my problems evaporated.
So, find an executable basic ROM image from the phones' original provider, fire up the bootloader, run the .exe and a few minutes later you will be able to reflash.
Honest.
I believe you can also load the image as a .cab file onto the SD card and install from there but I didn't have to investigate this so can't promise anything. Sorry.
The ROM image is the key.
Once the bomb detonates, hard reset etc seems to become a bit flakey - keep trying.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Another beer I think ...
** Edit **
Yes, of course the BT ROM is now working.
Now I don't need it.
Ah well.

[Q] s3 problem.

If im doing this wrong i apologize im new to this site completely. I need someone to guide me through Rooting, and flashing roms, and cwm to my s3.
