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.

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

My phone is the same your phone but ONBL 1.33.0000 and SPL 1.33.0000
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.

Hi, I just purchased a hermes about a week ago and I recently have been trying out a couple different versions of wm 6.5. Now the problem I have with the last rom that I flashed onto the device is that as soon as I start up it says that the beta test for this software release has expired. So I tryed re-flashing the last rom I was using to go back to something that was working, but I cannot connect back up with the computer through activesync. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully you have hardspl installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
But, you should be able to hold the ok button (on the left side above the ptt button) and the power button's at the same time and hit the reset button on the bottom of the unit with the stylus. that will bring you into the bootloader.
You should be able to flash from there. I would also suggest grabbing the at&t stripped rom to flash between custom roms.
well
it is timebomb issue... so if you tell us wich rom did you use and said that trial expires message we can fix it...
Thanks for the info boog! Its true, hope this new member use the hardspl
Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)
greetz
ferfecir Clean
This is the best clean rom which is a modified version of Yues clean with 30mb free ram.

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!
download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.
this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton
greetz
i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.
Thanks
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.
thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.
Please save sarcasm when responding. I have been reading and would onlt ask for help a last option.

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?
As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.
no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.
@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

Hi all, for all the people like me who do not have the patience or knowledge do adventure themselves in the mitty thread.
This program already exists for X1, HD2, TP2 (for what I know) and I have tested it and it works.
After some search on this forum I have talked to agent_47, who was kind enough to make a task29 program for our HTC Diamonds (GSM version).
Agent_47 or me do not take any responsibility for ay damage done to your device. Use it at your own risk, and only after you have HSPL already installed on your device.
Do not know what a HSPL is, check here:

when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY
but the thing is, mtty is and can be hard to use for new users. ... for me,, i was having the worst time installin the drivers needed to run mtty on win7 x64. so u i made this tool for me and for all

and I would add to agent_47, as he adapted this tool for the HTC Diamond
Did anyone tried this?
What's the verdict?
mmm. interesting.
Thanks for the share and all your hard work but this is actually harder than mitty for me and i am a windows 7 user also

I do not understand how this is possible, I am using Vista and this is as easy as flashing a ROM with a computer. You just connect the device via USB to the Diamond, let active sync finish. Then you just need to run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and follow the instructions.
I have tested this, and I can confirm this is working for the European HTC Diamond (bought in Portugal).
This was not made by me, but I do think that more people will benefit with this program. Hopefully people will overcome the initial resistance to change.
Great idea!
I used to MTTY through VMWare Windows XP x86 within my host Windows 7 x64. It was a pain in the ass to get though but it always worked for me. This is a great time saver!
Regards to both of you Johev and agent_47!
Willing to test on my next flash.
Best regards,
Cina.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- take our batti and then flash a rom using mSD cardor by taking device into bootloader and using customRUU to load ur favorite ROM

What do you mean? take out battery?
Gonna try this with my next flash
Yeah, the sentence is a bit odd to me to
i asume it means take out battery but still..
i'm not gonna try it until i know it for sure!
--edit--
i couldn't help it and used it anyway..
i assumed "take our batti" means take out battery cuz it worked for me!
my diamond was clean (i guess) and i'm now enjoying a new rom!
Thanx guys!!
I would never post something that I did not test first.
I am glad that you liked it, and I really think it is much simpler then the mitty thread.
Good luck flashing.

I LOVE THIS TOOL
this isn't good for my ORD.. i'm flashing the hell out of my diamond now!
Getting a HD2 in about a month.. can't wait for it ;D
I tried it, but I only get the start screen with "Touch diamond", no bootloader.
But I´ve installed HARDSPL Olinex, because I already flashed other ROM´s.
How can I solve this problem?
What about battery? When I have to get it out, when I can put it in again...?

to get into bootloader you have to reset your device while holding the volume down button!
then you will get the tri-color screen,
connect your diamond to your pc and flash a rom with a RUU!

To get into bootloader with my diamond:
1) Turn Diamond off, take out battery for 5 seconds.
2) Put battery back inside, and press and hold the centre button (circle) and turn ON the device (hold both buttons) until you see a 3 colour screen
If step 2 does not work, try pressing holding volume down while turning the device on (hold the ON button too). Remember to take out the battery before you do this.
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Does this work by simply copying any ROM's nbh file (instead of radio*.nbg) to folder and executing ROMUpdateUtility.exe? Will it MTTY before flashing the ROM?
Currently I'm trying this method out. It is around at 50% of flashing progress.
I'll report back.
Cina.
thanks a ton dude.... magnificent work...
Now if there were only a way to do it directly from Internal Storage, without RUU...
It does not work the way I described. It hangs on HTC Diamond black boot screen and no red lines appears in lower right corner (no OS recognized).
So you have to flash 2 times. Radio flash is shorted for the first attempt and on the second turn you flash your ROM with CustomRUU.
There is a similiar tool like this with the method working with other devices I described above. FlashaholicRUU. Someone give it a try for Diamond. Next week I'll do it and report back.
Cheers,
Cina.

I remember to see that post on xda developers front page short time ago, but I was not sure if it would work for HTC Diamond.
A universal task29 that would format and flash the device in one single process.
Ironically it was developed a few weeks after I have found an alternative way to mitty that I posted here.
So far I did not hear that it was compatible with Diamond, so I will not risk it.
It's nice to have all these options, because when I searched for something like this a few months ago, I could only find the mitty threat that has more than 80 posts.
For me it was strange as newer devices with very similar hardware and software already had something like this, but Diamond users had to use mitty.
Well I am glad that you like it, and hopefully I helped someone that was not able or willing to do it manually.
