How-to fix: Problems with Bootloader ... and flashing. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hello,
Does someone else have a similar problem?
Intro: some month ago I have successfully flashed my first HardSPL (1.40 OliNex), new radio (Radio v1.00.25.05) and several ROMs. Usually I flashed them directly from internal memory since I’ve found this way quite comfortable and IMHO also safer.
However, for flashing this way you have to able enter your bootloader...
And this is my first problem: after entering my bootloader I’ll get (after a while and a short show up of bootloader’s colorful screen) a grey screen with a message Trigger usb host…
After a while it is getting even scratches … and search and search ... so the only soft reset helps.
Does somebody possibly have a similar experience? Any tips?
FYI: my last ROM was A.Z.T.O.R. V7, however I admit, I didn’t make any hard reset after flashing (due to a mistake). Now I wanted to install a Duttys ROM. Since he recommends a newer version of HardSPL (1.93) I’ve been trying to upgrade… btw can somebody tell me where I can find it!? (I know where is the link, I have downloaded it personaly several times from differenet places, however there’s always written “signed” version on the *.nbh file! Is btw 1.93 signed version only?
And why can I see always just 1.40 in bootloader even when I’ve flashed 1.93 already?
And however I should rather ask this question Duttty personaly in his threat, why there is mentioned in bootloader ROM version 1.99 for V3.1 Duttys ROM?
Can you help me please to get out of this mess?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards, Marek
PS: Very last important question: when should I make the hard reset after flashing? Since it seems that my button tricky thing doesn really work, I am able to reset my XDA just from the menu... is there any problem? (When letting the system to start up properly first?)

Asus P525

Hi everyone,
i've installed in my 525 the modified ROM. Very Cool.
But now i have to sell it and i need the italian ROM.
do you know where i can download it?
Thanks
Did you find the italian ROM? I'm in the same situation and I do not know how to flash it back with italian rom. Thanks
I need to flash again the ITA ROM... I have some problems that not resolved witha Hard Reset... does anybody can help please? THANKS
I dont think Italian ROM is available for download yet.
You'll have either to wait until ASUS will release some Italian ROM upgrade, or somehow find a way to "dump" original ROM from another Italian P525.
I am afraid you've made a mistake flashing a custom ROM without figuring out the proper ways of "rolling back"
well, I didn flashed any Rom in the P525.
I installed a freeware Today plugin that crashed my system. After the installation the P525 freezed, also after a soft reset the system did not loaded properly crashing and freezing after the boot and forcing me to remove the battery everytime cause the soft reset button didnt worked correctly (I mean pressing it started the soft reset but the systme didnt load). So I decided to Hard Reset the Device but also in this case the system crashed after the calibration procedure or even during the procedure itself.
After a couple of HR and several SR now the system boot but it seems "unstable" and sometimes it freezes suddendly without a particular reason.
That's why I'm asking to flash ROM from the beginnig...it sounds strange to me but could be possible that the ROM has been changed by that plugin or some unlucky circumstances damaged in some way the ROM and this problem occurs everytime also after an HR? What can be happened?
Now I have 2 choice:
1) Looking for an ITA ROM (it's v 3.30+ phone 4.5.0 and still no upgrade from Asus even it was announced for last December!). In this case can I have access to another P525 to get the ROM in some way? If possible can someone explain the procedure?
2) Flashing an English ROM (v3.32+Phone 4.6.0).... and I'd prefer it since there has been some important fixes in the latest ENG ROM. But I'm afraid I will loose ITA T9 dictionary. If someone can help me explaining how to install other T9 dictionaries in a ENG ROM I will install the ENG ROM for sure.
Also I'd like to make some experiments with a WM6 ROM in a P525... since I want to reflash everything it could be the right moment to experiment... any suggestion?
Thanks a lot to everyone for help... I'm still novice but I'm learning a lot from your posts!

INFO:- White screen after ROM flash

I've created this thread, as to not clutter the LVSW thread any more than it currently has.
Clearly (even though some don't believe it) there is an issue with th latest ROM releases and users doing a standard, succesful ROM update and being introduced to the IWSAU (Imaginary White Screen After Updating)
Those that currently have the IWSAU, there are fixes that seem to currently work. I've copy pasted some of my posts from the LVSW thread and hopefully others can posts here too with answers.
1. Download the FULL update from LVSW's first post.
2. Use NBHextract to rip the NBH file into seperate files.
3. Flash SPL-1.01MFG to your device
4. Flash OS.nb to device.
5. Enjoy a non white version of this great rom.
** Note to LVSW and other chefs reading. It appears there is some errors occuring when using the 1.13SPL and the latest RUU flash util and the latest roms. The information being flashed doesnt appear to be going where it should be on the rom and is causing this White screen. It is a bug.
I've repacked LVSW's latests rom, with an earlier RUU util and the force SSPL option only and works perfectly. Its something wrong with the newest combo of files and utils causing an issue.

Also, to add confusion to the matter. This is the results of the following
DOPOD 838 PRO - HERM100
15/3 LVSW Pro - Flases perfectly
20/3 LVSW ROM - White screen from update RUU
25/3 LVSW ROM - White screen from update RUU
Black 1.2 (with 1.13SPL) - White screen from update RUU
Black 1.2 (original) - Flashes perfectly
DOPOD 838 PRO - HERM200
15/3 LVSW Pro - Flases perfectly
20/3 LVSW ROM - Flases perfectly
25/3 LVSW ROM - Flases perfectly
Black 1.2 (with 1.13SPL) - Flases perfectly
Black 1.2 (original) - Flashes perfectly
I-MATE JASJAM - HERM100
15/3 LVSW Pro - Flases perfectly
20/3 LVSW ROM - Flases perfectly
25/3 LVSW ROM - White Screen after RUU update
Black 1.2 (with 1.13SPL) - White Screen after RUU update
Black 1.2 (original) - Flashes perfectly
However, all flash perfectly when using MTTY and the OS.nb...
Theres clearly something wrong. All tested same machine, same files, everything identical just different hardware.

Checked for bad blocks, was one of the first things i thought also...
Its strange, as its the welcomehead.96.png file that doesnt obviously display, but also the background image of the theme as well, so im wondering if its a section of the rom thats not flashing right, or possibly due to previous flashes etc being done, anything resdidual (shouldnt be) is left causing the issue.
I've just spent time creating a RUU 3.5 updater with the OS, SPL 1.30Oli and radio 1.38.0.10 and it flashed with white screen. I then lodaed the OS in to Rom Koch, removed the welcomehead.96.png file, replaced it with the same one, compile then used in the same flash, and it flashed perfectly fine, with no white screen.
Its buggng me as i don't want to have to mess around each update to get them, but also to help others. I enjoyed the double click update easyness of previous roms and im wondering if these new ones could possibly be in the compiling in the rom maker?? Maybe it effects certain hardware revisions??
Anyway, mostly speculation as i don't have the talents to investigate more, other than trial and error things like im doing. Im lucky to have 3 Hermes devices here to test on. So far the Dopod 838Pro HERM200 has flashed everything perfectly fine. The Dopod 838Pro HERM100 has the most white screen fails, and the JasJam inbetween.

I did a full official dopod rom update, then tried the latest LSVW one. same white screen.
Rinse and repeat but this time with older RUU util and OS only, worked perfectly.
Im convinced it has something to do with the NAND and the smaller image/larger storage space hack now more than ever.
I took the 15/3 LVSW rom, and ram it through the storage patch.
Flash Dopod HERM100 - White screen (where before this was my saving rom it seemed and 100% worked every time)
Flash JasJam HERM100 - Worked perfectly
Flash Dopod HERM200 - White screen (where before this was my saving rom it seemed and 100% worked every time)
Obviously more and more people are downloading this and trying it out and its now appearing that the original couple "doing it wrong" where actually right and are experiencing a common issue now.

LVSW rom uses Custom RUU v3.5, this RUU unpacks either the old hermes RUU (for bootloader <=1.09) or the new hermes RUU (for bootloader >= 1.11). In the later case, the standard RUU always does a 'task 28' to format the storage (ie: hard-reset) after every rom flash. I did some tests with Olipro before releasing it and we thought that removing the 'task 28' was fine (since we don't want a hard reset after flashing any NBH that doesn't contain OS), and as we didn't got any issues flashing several OS versions we thought it was fine this way, but probably this is what is causing the problem.
Have any of you having this 'white screen' issue tried to just do a 'hard reset' after flashing LVSW rom? Did it fixed the problem?
IM re-creating the issue now and flashing a problem rom as i type.
I did a hard reset with keys and stylus, and made no difference.
Im going to do a Task 28 in MTTY after this flash and see if it makes any difference, and will get back to you.
ok, can you also try with the standard / unmodified HTC RUU? You can extract it from the file RUU_Inside.exe in htc's 2.11 rom or in imate's new rom.
Hi guys,
so yesterday night I was working the whole time with the white screen stuff! Installing of different roms did not bring any success removing the white screen.
Sorry maybe for the wrong words, which I am using, but I am still a newbie, but my white screen is gone after doing following steps, if I remember right:
I flashed the original vodafone complete rom from the manufacturer on my vpa compact III. This seems to work. But then after finishing the installation in the restart the start screen with the vodafone bootscreen I saw the two words "No GSM" and the vpa compact stucked in the windows screen. Then I tried to use the brickregenerationstuff from pof , with no really success. After that I installed again the new lvsw complete version and again I had the white screen problem, but in this moment I was glad to have the white screen problem, than the no gsm screen . After that I made absolutely the same like before installing the vodafone stuff! I installed the previous LVSW version with extrom etc. After that the white screen was no longer there.
I am not sure, what I did and why the hell the white screen was no longer there, because I made the same thing before installing the vodafonestuff.
It sounds a bit confusing, but it was confusing .
Maybe this helps somebody to extract some information, which can help somebody else.

So which SPL is better to use - <=1.09 or >1.09?
If this is the issue, then may be the solution is just changing to right SPL and full upgrade afterwards?
Hi There,
I also tried the latest LVSW and Black 1.2. Both give me the white screen issue, whereby the 'Today' screen is a blanket white and nothing can be read until you highlight over them via the scrollwheel or a screen tap. It's as if the background on the mainscreen as default has disappeared and no amount of resetting the background via settings will fix this.
I am using the 1.38.0.10 radio with the 1.13.oli. Prior to this, I was using the first LVSW release, I think on the 11th March.
Anyone know a solution to this?
Thanks in advance, and keep up all the great work here!
J
p.s my device is originally an orange M3100 SPV, or HERM100 if that helps in any way.
Dopod 838 Pro No Problemo
Hi,
I had a dopod 838 Pro which is hermes100 and i just flashed it without any problem. I was using WM Black Ed v1.2 with 1.13 Oli Spl.
Thanks
Cheers..
I also experience the issue, using 1.13.oli spl 1.38.00 radio, Ill see what I can come up with later on when I get home from work.
someone: test this procedure:
enter bootloader mode.
run mtty
issue task 28, close mtty.
flash with CustomRUU, select 1.11.
see if you get a whitescreen.
if you do, re-enter bootloader, issue task 28 again.
see if you still get a white screen.
also, I've been thinking... if you are removing a bmp image from the OS NB then the OS is still the same size (or smaller) therefore, if NAND blocks aren't getting wiped they STILL won't get wiped when you reflash the new equal size or smaller NB, and THEREFORE it is *nothing* to do with the SPL or CustomRUU.
The SPL merely flashes binary data, it doesn't give a hoot what that might be, therefore, if it's buggering up, then the structure of the image is buggered up, it's nothing to do with the SPL.
I've just followed your destructions using your CustomRRU (v4) and am experiencing the same issue.
My symptoms:
Have to tap once to start screen calibration
White second boot loader screen
White text on the home screen
If iLauncher is installed, the iLauncher graphics become corrupted (untested with Black Edtn 1.2).
This could be a shot in the dark, but could this be caused by IMGFG?
Hope this helps!
Ok after being up all night last nite working on it, I'm ready to give a few more methods a shot.
pof: If I run task 28 (hard reset) and close mtty...then I should run the custom RUU to install the ROM and select SPL-1.01 in the beginning right?
I'm just a little scared with SPL-1.01 as I'm not as protected like Oli's SPLs would.

no, all you'll get is a message calling you an idiot for not knowing that you can't flash a ROM with 1.01
Yea I actually did read that and flashed back to 1.04 before anything.
I attempted to redownload LVSW's latest release 3/26/07 and flashed it on my device...still white.
NOW I'm going to try the mtty method after learning and understanding mtty a little bit more.
I enjoy wasting 25 minutes each flash ^_^
Just want to confirm that this worked for me. Had the white screen problem with LSVW 3/25, 3/26 and WBME 1.2.
1. Download the FULL update from LVSW's first post.
2. Use NBHextract to rip the NBH file into seperate files.
3. Flash SPL-1.01MFG to your device
4. Flash OS.nb to device.
5. Enjoy a non white version of this great rom.

Now running LSVW 3/26. Very snappy! After getting it running correctly I reflashed to HARD-SPL v4.
I would also like to confirm that Flashing via Mtty has also worked for me. NO MORE WHITE SCREEN...
Even though that was the SOLUTION to the problem...I still wonder what the real source of the problem was.
ok...i wanted to flash with mtty. but when i start mtty, i get "cmd>" instead of "USB>". What is wrong?
Nothing is wrong. HARD-SPL V4 will show CMD>. Once you flash SPL 1.01 MFG, it will show up as USB>
I have a problem in that when I try the above I enter lnb OS.nb but I get a command error. Dont suppose anyone has any ideas?

yes, you're not running 1.01MFG or worse... you're running the unpatched one without being supercid.
type task32 then try it again.

RBS WM6.1 ROMS and Hard Reset ...Possible Solution thread and thoughts

I wanted to install PDACorner v22 RBSN over NRBSN and I flashed defore the See here for more info Dr Puttingham solution suggested ROM via SD.
I have done the SD Flash once more with my WWE ROM 3.54 and in both ROMS the ORDER of flashing parts on my Tytn 's screen was
Code:
IPL,Bootloader,ExtROM,GSM,OS
I know we all use dutty's nbh tool v1.1 for compiling RUU_Signed.nbh .
I dare to make a thought about this tool makes the RBS ROMS to Hard Reset, because it makes the order of flashing
Code:
IPL,Bootloader,OS,GSM
meaning it flashes the Radio after the OS.
Both Stock ROMS with EXTRom flashes the Radio before the OS.
So is there any chance of changing the order in dutty's tool and do the Radio flash before the OS???
In that way we can check if THIS is the problem (and solution) of Hard Resets
Please post your thoughts on my theory and I will contact dutty about this thread to see if he can change his tool

The only problem here, is that I remove the radio from my stock rom before flashing, and I have had no HR or freezing problems.
Edit: Though.. atm, a single rom flash doesn't last much more than a day...
interesting thread
I don't take shortcuts, I follow the dr's order down to the T, and does take a good half an hour to 45 min to get things running, I will monitor of quicker way of doing it, if it saves me time, I would love to know too, so .. here I am watching with anticipation.

I know all this about not flashing Radio all the time with roms. I just say that the sequense of parts is not the same.
It should be IPL,SPL, Nothing , OS without flashing radio and NOT IPL,SPL,OS, Nothing which is the case now

Whatever the order of the pices, wouldnt the firmwear still have to go to the same places in the chip? Or you would end up in brick town.
Didn't someone say the HR's where due to part of the chip not being overwritten, and when you flash another rom, (that isnt a FULL shipped) it ended up causing incomparability issues?

Remember guys the Real Big Storage ROMs overwrite the ext_rom portion to use as the extra storage, since it wasnt designed to do this we can assume that sometimes it might not work correctly.
Sure the tools and everything work fine with it all most of the time.
The reason flashing an official ROM seems to remedy the issues with Hard Resets is that if you reflash everything, the flash memory is refreshed back to the correct OS and ext_rom arrangement, then flashing an RBS ROM onto this area should in theory work fine thanks to the "spring clean" of the memory area.

It wasnt until recently that I experienced any hard reset issues with any of the ROMs here, i noticed that leading up to a Hard Reset or freeze at the boot screen things such as file operations and running programs seemed to fail...with access denied errors and etc..
Also programs failed to save registry data aswell, coreplayer repeatedly asked for the activation key (which ofcourse ive got).
Leading me to believe that the storage portion of the OS was not working correctly...and since thats the part we have (pardon the term) misused )) then perhaps a reflash to the old configuration to give the storage area a flat format would do the trikc...which it did.
So its definatly advised, even if you havent experienced the issues, to one in a while before you flash a new ROM, flash an official ROM which uses and ext_rom aswell to give it a quick clean out.

[Q] About flashing newest stock rom with Hard SPL

Hi all, a question to anyone who may know the answer.
I have tried searching & reading but have only ended up twisting up my brain!
Ok, i have a touch diamond with Olinex unsigned 1.37 Hard SPL
I want to flash it with the newest HTC Europe stock rom but when i try to flash it, it starts and continues all the way to 100%, before giving me a error 270 - corrupted file image..
Tried downloading the rom again, different usb ports & pretty much everything else i can think of, to the point now that i just can't think of any other possible ways of doing it.
Can anyone help me out... pleeeeeeeease!
Sorry no quick answer as it soundsfrom your breif description like you are doing everything right...
What Radio and Rom are you on currently as this might give us some more clues as to what might be causing the issue?
I can freely flash between almost any rom that takes my fancy, just today i have flashed through aztor 2.0, duttys newest, vics 3.4, and the ultimate wwe.. trying to find a solution!
I can flash whatever radio i want, again with no issues. Maybe the links i have for the rom are corrupt? Like i said i've downloaded it twice, but still get that error after 100% completion.

You need to flash the newest stock rom using the internal storage method. Details are on the thread for the stock 2.03 rom
THe Internal Method is always the starting point....if that is not it then,
Yeah, when the error speaks about corruption, this generally means that there was a incompatibility issue. I've seen this problem and I don't recall if the incompatibility was the Hard SPL related or not. My suspicion is that it is .....

THe original 2.03 roms don't work on hard spl when used through the PC and give the error at the end on 100%.
Cooked versions flash succesfully normal ways however the original version will work properly via the internal storage method as discovered on the original 2.03 thread
I solved it by flasing the Olipro 1.93 hard SPL after flashing the stock 2.0 ROM.
As by everyone I had a corruption message on the screen after the 100% of flashing... So just flash Olipro 1,.93 over it and the diamond will startup with the new 2.03 ROM

Problems after flashing roms.

After flashing some of the recent roms here on XDA, I seem to be having a bit of a problem.
After installing some programs,the program icons change in to windows logos and i'm unable to use them and my phone locks up instantly and only a hard reset will work.
If i do a soft reset i only get to the windows mobile screen or htc startup animation screen, then it freezes.
I have been flashing roms for a couple of years and have never had this problem,any help would be appreciated.

There's not alot we can tell you if you don't tell us about your device, rom, radio, hardspl etc setup.
I'm using C.T 6.4 original touchflo but have tried others. I have olinex 1.40 spl
and have a DIAM 100 model and radio 1.00.25.05
Try another ROM.............there is that freak of nature possiblity that the Hard SPL is incompatible (rare).
If another Rom persists, then move to Hard Spl 1.93. I know some Chefs recommend a specific Hard Spl at times but again it's rare.
Can i just flash 1.93 spl over 1.40 spl, or is there a different way of doing it.
*Edit* I just tried to install 1.93 spl and it didnt work it still says i have 1.40 spl,what am i doing wrong ?
These Hard SPL developer's edition has write protection. What you need is an APP called Jump SPL....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3328000#post3328000.....POST #10
I'm using CT 6.4 OrigTF Full with HSPL 1.93 with absolutely no problems (apart from a landscape bug that I solved by installing the original Diamond Volume Control). I highly recommend it, for me it's the best I've ever used in terms of speed, stability and functionality. Remember to Hard-reset after flash. You migh also have a bad flash or a bad download. If changing HSPL don't work, try to download the ROM again and re-flash.
When I upgraded HSPL from 1.40 to 1.93 I used a version with jump-SPL included, don't remember where I found it though.
Good Luck!
I always do a hard reset after a flash and have tried numerous roms but seem to have the same problem with all the roms.
Think i might have a problem with my diamond
Thanks for all your suggestions.
hello. I have a problem. I wanted to put new rom on friend`s Diamond but when it finishes, it says error 270, the image file is corrupted.On Diamond:Upgrade rom code error, please try again.What can I do now?I made soft reset and repeated again, nothing changes.I cannot even turn off the device.It only shows tricolor,security unlocked.(RUU Diamind HTC WWE 2.03.405.2 Radio signed diamond 52.51.25.26.1.09.25.23 ship.exe (100MB))
I am ok.Made it with a different rom.
O.k. I've tried a few different roms and hard spl today, and deleted my internal and phone storage and my phone is still not working properly.
It works fine after a flash and hard reset, but as soon as i turn it off then back on it freezes either on the diamond black boot screen or windows boot screen.
Looks like I need to get a new phone
Don't know if this is of any help but, when i cooked some roms for my "Artemis" i would get this sort of error if the rom was a little too big (I had added too many programs <5mb too much it would build and flash without error) it would work for a few days the slowly start to loose programs as if it had a virus or something deleting stuff slowly.
the only way to fix it was to flash a stock rom inc ipl,spl and radio then re-flash a custom rom, (a new custom rom alone would not cure it) i think the rom when flashing filled the area designated for the rom then started to overright the spl or ipl
just a thought? i don't know weather the diamond would suffer from the same problem with a bloated rom!
dose anyone know what the max size for a diamond rom is?
what happens if the rom is a little too big say 2mb?
Thanks,I've just flashed the new windows 6.5 rom which is working at the moment,but if it fails i'll give your idea a try.

Man i had almost the similar issue in the recent times .. The only work around is to download and flash a stock Rom ( no matter which one it is ) , like what explained in the previous post . Use the stock fr a day or 2 , then flash it back .
