Help pls i have olinex 1.40 hardspl in but my phone is stuck in bootloader with "upgrade ROM code error Please try again" i cant get out...tried hard reset nothing...tried recovery mode (volume down + reset ) nothing...cant get a usb connection help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are you sure you don't have usb connection? try running an ruu with usb plugged in see if it runs. it sounds like you tried to flash a radio from another device. try flashing a new radio.

the bootloader shows usb when i plug it in and serial when i plug it out...when hard resetting it goes through the formatting but then just jumps back to bootloader with the message...active sync recognizes nothing but i'll try that right now
edit - ok it seems to be flashing i'm crossing my fingers
edit: ok it seems to have flashed i see my rogers main screen thank you soooooooooooooooo much

glad to hear!
just so you know you can always flash from bootloader. i have seen alot of people around here saying "oh no, my device is bricked and i'm stuck in bootloader". i lol.

lmao now i know..i was coming from an elfin, not used to diamond as of yet but now i know

Bootloader bottom says "serial" but wont switch to "usb"
Perhaps this is a known issue but I could not find the solution easily and ended up discovering it myself so wanted to share it in case others face the same.
I was try to use the mtty software to "clean" my touch diamond in an effort to get rid of some bugs in macadam 1.2 rom [great rom, by the way].
I had disabled the usb connections in active sync on my laptop [mac running windows xp in bootcamp]
I could enter bootloader easily but the bottom part of the multicolor screen kept saying "serial" and would not switch to "usb" when I connected the phone to the laptop.
What finally worked was ensuring that the phone was set for "activesync" rather than use as a "disk drive" or "internet sharing". I had assumed, wrongly, that once in bootloader the last selected option [disk drive] would be irrelevant.
So I exited the bootloader by pressing the reset key; connected phone to pc via cable; selected the active sync option; disconnected the phone; entered bootloader, connected the phone via cable again and the bottom of the bootloader changed to usb and I was able to use mtty successfully.
I wonder if this has implications for people stuck with bad flashes etc. In my case I could easily exit the bootloader and go back and select 'activesync' from the working phone. One could also hard reset if a working rom was on the phone...
BUT If one is stuck with the option of only the bootloader, would it matter on what the last selected option was [active sync or use as usb disk drive or internet sharing]?

This doesn't make any difference. When you're stuck in bootloader just plugin your USB and the display will state "USB" as well. You can flash a rom at this point.

Neeed DOCTOR for my HTC

Hello All,
My HTC Diamond Handset serial no is HT826K******* Tryed to change the ROM , but after reaching to 100% also the completed mesage is not coming . When I press the reset button Tri colour screen appears with error messgae " Upgrade ROM code error Please try Again".. . Please help

You probably don`t have the correct update package for your device... If you really want to update to this rom then you need the HardSPL. Install the HardSPL 1.93 Unsigned Developer edition.

do you have Hard-SPL?

I Recently updated through ROMUpdateUtility know i see touch diamond screen with RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition ...Please help

just flash another ROM while in bootloader and connected to usb. I would suggest to use a simply rom.

Hi,
But How , I am not able to copy the file to Internal memory as when I connect to laptop the the internal memory is not visible:

you don't need to put the nbh file in internal storage. Turn your device off. Press and hold the volume down button. While doing so press the power button. Keep holding the volume down button pressed until you see the multi colored screen which is called the bootloader. At the bottom it should say Serial. Using the USB cable with which you sync to your PC, plug the cable in to your PC and then plug the other end into your device.
The multi colored screen should soon say USB at the bottom of the screen. You are now ready to flash a new ROM. Just run the RUU as you would normally.

I did that; know I got the tri colour scree ;which says USB in white area know how to run RUU , my htc is connected to my laptop

create a folder on your pc and name it anything. now copy the nbh ans ruu.exe in that folder. run the ruu by double clicking it. this should be done when you get usb on your screen, if done correctly you rom flash should start flashing and a bar will appear on your phone.

Thanks All
Hi All,

Do you have the correct drivers installed?

I think you need that I'm not too sure, I do anyway

Trying to flash Tilt 2

Hi all, I have a general problem that I'm hoping someone can help me fix.
I have a Tilt 2, I performed a hard reset back to the stock AT&T rom. I am following the Hard-SPL instructions, but am having difficulties. Here are the steps I have followed:
1) Installed enablerapinew.cab to device and soft reset
2) Am running Rhodium-HardSPL from my PC, while the device is connected via ActiveSync (also showed up in Mobile Device Center as connected on Win7)
3) I am using the Automatic flash button, and I get the first warning dialog just fine. I press Next
4) HardSPL has a list of instructions, saying to make sure that ActiveSync is still connected. This is the part that has the error. When I pressed Next from the previous dialog, the phone goes black, but ActiveSync disconnects from the PC. I have to perform a reset on the device to get it out of the black screen.
I have tried these methods on both a Windows 7 Machine and my Windows XP laptop. It seems that when the phone switches into the black screen, the PC is no longer seeing it as a phone device, so it automatically cancels out activesync.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

how long are you giving it? When it runs this your phone will reset and go into bootloader mode, so its possible that your phone is just loading. Do any on screen errors pop up?

After the first dialog box, the phone goes black and then does nothing unless I use the reset button. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes, and all it did in windows was install a Qualcomm driver. Not sure why activesync cant see the phone once it goes off. I just tried booting the phone up into bootloader by itself and seeing if any drivers installed, but nothing did.

Just tried a different USB port also, same thing.
The drivers it installs into windows when the device goes black are a Qualcomm driver, and HTC USB Sync. Nothing happens after that

try running it while in bootloader.
shut down your phone, hold the volume down and end/power key while using the soft reset button. Once in bootloader make sure it shows you are connected via USB. Run the hardspl.

My kaiser bricked?

I think my kaiser is bricked somehow. I left it sitting on my charger and came back and it was frozen and now when I turn it on nothing happens except the green light comes on. I can sometimes by messing around with the power plug and battery get it back into android but I cannot even bring up my bootloader anymore. I have no idea if its bricked or whats wrong with it.

Please define messing arround with power plug and battery . Did you try another battery? Battery contacts, miniusb contacts...worst case, something is burned inside. Camera+power+reset doesn't work?
Also, check what was your wife doing before you came back

lol she would never do anything to my phone. By playing with the power plug I mean just plugging it in and taking it out and what not. It's really hard to define it, I would just say ****ing with it lol.

I've come to the conclusion that the radio in my tilt died. Why must my phones always die from a dead radio =( android still works but I can't get into the bootloader anymore and I can't flash a new kernel or even reinstall. Will be nice to see how long this lasts lmao

Can you dump your kaiser to see what is left in our rom?
Follow this procedure to dump your kaiser:
First you have to install QPST (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OW3ERRNB)
1. Turn on kaiser , now you enter the OEMSBL. You will see nothing on your phone!
2. Your computer will ask drivers for a device if you didn't installed the MotoQ drivers before. Point it to the extracted drivers!
3. If QPST is installed on your computer, disable the com port in the QPST Configurator.
4. Launch mtty and select your com port that is listed as Qualcomm Dignostic Interface 6000 (Comx) in the device manager.
5. Type "h" <Return>
6. if you got any output continue to 7 else pull out the battery, reinsert it and restart at 1
7. type "radata 90000000 1" : Your kaiser is now in loading mode.
8. Close mtty
9. launch the QPST configurator and add the comport and ENABLE it.
10. remove the usb cable of the phone, and reinsert it.
11. your phone must now be listed as Q/QCP-xxx (download)
12. Launch the "QPST Memory Debug" tool to dump smi.bin and ebi.bin
13. Click on browse to select the right com port
14. Click on "Get Regions"
15. Click on "saveto..." to save the files to a directory
16. Zip the files and send it to me.

Would be nice if my kaiser was detecting still... It's weird. It's almost like it has no boot loader but yet it will still sorta boot android.

If the Green led comes on, you are in the OEMSBL. Does your computer asks for drivers when you connect your kaiser to your computer? Ifso, you need the MotoQ drivers (found in this forum) to connect your kaiser OEMSBL to your computer. Then you can use MTTY to talk with it. (if you type something you will not see any output. Only after presing enter/return.
If you need help, let me know.

I've used mtty before. The green led DOES come on but it does not detet at all on my computer. It is not asking for any drivers. When I plug it in nothing happens

then it goes further then the oemsbl.
If it boots Android, it must pass the SPL, so did you try to hold the camera button and then turn on your device? If the SPL tricolor shows, then you can flash. (in theory)

I've tried to get into the tricolor screen but it is not working with camera + Power and battery insert or on Camera+power+soft reset. I used to have an HTC screen I added display before the kernel loaded. Now the first thing I see is my loading screen for android around a minute or so later only when it's plugged into power.

That's strange. And what is happening when you press the green phone key and powerup? (OEMSBL boot) keep pressing the green button for 5 secs If the green led comes on. Then connect your phone to your computer. Does it appear in the windows device manager?

Does not detect in device manager at all, not even as an unknown device. It's as if nothing was plugged in

If it is not listed as a serial port device. (ports Com & LPT)
then it is not in the OEMSBL. Is your device Security unlocked? If not this can explain why it doesn't enter the OEMSBL with the green button.
Did you also try to put an upgrade file (KAISIMG.NBH) on your root of the SD card?
Maybe this will get launched when your device is turned on?

I'll try that out as i've always flashed via usb. Also it is Security unlocked and it is SIM unlocked too.

Nope that did not do a thing. I took a WM rom nbh renamed it to KAISIMG and set it on the root of the SD and it did nothing.

Oh yes, you are right.
in order to load the KAISIMG.NBH, you have to enter the SPL.
hold Camera button and power on. wait 2 secs and unpress the camera button. Then wait for 1 minute, and press the power button again (Power button = start flashing, action key = cancel).

just tried that and still nothing out of my phone

massivekid, i have very similar problem, but my phone turned on.
I dont can turn on bootloader , i try very much metods and any working.
my phone always turn on Smart Mobility i can't change android kernel/back to the windows
few times i tun my pda on blinking yellow led, but computer no see the device

but it still boots into android?
then a jumpspl for android would cure it ;-)

Can you try this one?:
- Remove USB cable/cradle
- Remove battery and re-insert it
- Hold Camera and insert the USB cable.
What do you see now?
The reason why i ask this, is that you have told me that it boots android when you insert the power/usb cable and you see output after 1 min or so when booting android. This behaviour was added to android to let the battery charge...
So the poweron procedure difference from when you press the power button, or when you let the kaiser charge...

[Q] Booting problem

hi. I encountered a problem on my phone that doesn't boot properly.
When i tried to switch on my phone it showed at first the welcome msg "Samsung S4 mini gt-i9192" then after that, a pitch black screen, could not properly boot. But i learn that it does not turns off after the screen turns all black, i have to press the power button first to turn off the phone.
This problem started when i installed an app with some compatibility problems.
I wanted to root my phone hoping that can solve the problem, but then again a problem occurred when i tried to connect my phone to my laptop. It fails to install MTP usb device to my computer. I tried connecting it again provided that samsung kies was installed but again failed to connect my phone. Therefore i cant root my phone because i cant copy the files needed to root to my phone sd card.
I tried reinstalling kies, installing mtp drivers but nothing happened. I tried also restoring the previous boot image, restoring factory settings using recovery mode. But then problem still exist.
And fyi my phone can't mount any external sd card using recovery mode. And i think it was not in a debugging mode.
Phone: samsung s4 mini gt-i9192
firmware: i dont know
So basically, the problem is:
my phone wont boot,
i cant connect it to my pc
and i cant root it.
How should i root or even flash my phone when i cant connect to my computer? Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions would be much appreciated. tnx.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) and then connecting it your p,c , if not give this a shot it should pick up the drivers , once done , take out the usb cable hold the power the button to shut down and boot up .
since you have not mentioned your OS am assuming it is windows , try taking out Kies via some software like revo uninstaller which will remove all directories plus all registry entires then reinstall it if you really need it.

dial *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.

yah, thats what im thinking. i just brought this here hoping to solve this problem without going to a shop. thanks anyway.

aac. To me put your phone in download mode then use moborobo(a windows software) . Just open it and it will install the driver. If it dies not work then use adb installer . Remember you should have only any one of the software at one tim means either moborobo or kies or adb installer
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

btw have you tried to boot the phone in safe mode ?? if it boots in safe mode it is still fixable without going to service center. power down , power up+ tap the menu button 3 or 4 times at THE same time to boot into safe mode if it boots into safe mode that means the hardware and OS is fine if it does not well then your out of luck.
