FLASH disaster

I was becoming an expert in flashing...but the cable became undone during a flash :-(
Now it restarts to a blank screen with R1.50.08.11 / G32.83.7020 etc. but goes no further.
Computer no longer sees device.
Used hard keys to go into bootlocker. (IPL 0.50 / SPL- 1.07.000)
My VISTA :-( computer sees device.
Then try RUU, but this gives a 270 error.
Tried moving to XP, but the computer does not install the software for the USB port, so now the RUU gives 200 error. Arrgh.
Question: How to update from a very corrupted ROM? Or where can I find the drivers for the USB port, for XP. and if I do can I do the update from the hard bootlocker?
Any help really appreciated!
MS

Update
Found USB drivers for Windows XP
But getting identical problem as with Vista :-(
Device not seen unless in bootlocker mode.
RUU starts and after 1% quits with 270 error - image file corrupt.
Tried RUU a hard SPL (olipro) but same 270 error occured.
Help still needed...
MS

I think you have to flash original HTC rom prio to try other roms

i got a similar problem here, my vista can find trinity only when it is in bootloader mode.
my experience is that connect tinity to vista when it is in bootlader mode, then i can flash a new rom.
after that tinity can sync with vista only via bluetooth.
for your case, maybe you really need restore your trinity to official rom first.

The trinity upgrade guide does not help here.
I can connect to device I have sorted out all the VISTA and XP issues.
The problem is at 1% status the 270 error occurs.
The telephone is actuall a Swisscom 1510. Original ROM was lost in first flashing, have searched but not found official update.
Is there a mini-ROM or a windows WM5 lite ROM which may overwrite what happens while still using the hard bootloader?
MS

Use SD card method.
See wiki page.
Bye

Hi,
...or .... MTTY Procedure....
BYE, Bobo

Tried SD card method - nothing happens. Just sits in Bootloader :-(

Try this procedure
In windows Vista use the attached driver in order to recognize your Device.
If your device is already recognized from windows vista replace the drivers with the drivers in the zip drive.
You have to use the drivers in the attached file not the windows default drivers VERY IMPORTANT!!!
After your Windows vista recognized your device try to flash it
Cheers

Thanks for all the help....but still I am having no success.
The HTC trinity is recognised in both Vista and XP when I use bootloader. (ie HTC USB SYNCH in device manager. Without boot loader the device is more or less dead.
I tried the SD crard trick - nothing happens.
Tried mtty.exe - just get cannot open USB port (on both VISTA and XP).
Nevertheless, the bootloader sees the USB port and the RUU goes to 1% then stops so some communication is happening.
Any other ideas?
MS

The final and, j' m sure, the definitive solution:
Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691&highlight=stack+in+bootloader

Just before I try splxploit, as a note I got this out of mtty
Cmd>info 8
Block 0x0(0) is Reversed block
...
Block 0xC(12) is Reversed block
Block 0x335(821) is BAD block !!!
Seems my problem must be here. Is there another fix besides splxploit?
MS

Install Olipro hardspl 1.20.
Bye

Dear, carefully look that thread again. Stack overflow for Trinity.
It's all my advise. I think you don't do right "Stack method" to get out your problem.
Best regard.(rest calm and do it again).

Uhm, try to download some rom again? and try Rom NVID (no vendor ID) for example. ???

Quick update...
Tried SD card - get 00068002 loading .... then goes to IPL0.5 SPL 1.07
mtty info 8 shows bad blocks
task 2a doesn't clear bad blocks because of CID lock
Tried various hard-SPL OLIPRO 1.2 1.3 etc, to unlock CID - to no avail.
Can the CID not be unlocked through mtty?

So you haven't yet tried splxploit?

END of STORY
YESSS!
POF you are a genius - Splxpoilt worked a dream.
Had to run unbrick.bat once. Hit soft reset, and run again as explained in the readme.
This got a good SPL on the machine - then a standard RUU worked a dream.
At the same time I got the SD card update working too...
OK, OK, so I should have tried splxpoit earlier. But I think I had to do the rest first to understand what was going on.
Strange thing is if I look at my machine again under mtty, there is still the Bad block (821). Who cares, I am unbricked!!!
By the way, this board is just completely amazing.
THANKS TO ALL....

i have the same problem
could you help me . how did you repair your spv?

WM 6.5 for T-Mobile MDA III

Hello,
if got the T-Mobile MDA III with WM6.0.
Now i want to update my ROM with WM 6.5, bit i only become the following error:
Your image has corrupted. please check your update utility.
Can anyone help me???
i hope you can help me.
thx
markus

try to re-download the rom and make sure you run a USPL first if it's your first upgrade. Search the forum if you need help

it dosn´t works
i´ve tried 5 different roms but no one works.
its the second upgrade on the fon.

Try a new update of SPL, files here= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
Download "ArtemisUSPL.zip"
1. Unzip
2. Connect your phone to computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
3. Run start_uspl.exe on your computer and wait until process finishes
4. The phone reboot.
When boot is done, you are CID unlock forever normally so you can flash all rom you want.
Then, You can flash now your rom, just run RUU from your rom folder and normally it's good.
If it always don't work, give us all the number show in your 1st screen when the phone boot (IPL, SPL ...)

yes, tell us what numbers you get on your screen
also what error are you getting
and what OS are you on....vista? XP ? Did you get an activesync connection before you tried flashing?
also try putting phone into bootloader mode first and then flashing, sometimes helps. (hold down RECORD/NOTES button when you reset)
once you've got an error number ( eg error 260 ) you can try searching the forum for that error number and see how everyone else has coped with it.

How to upgrade ROm with nbh file

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).

The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.

thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .

You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP

Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.

strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?

Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.

From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.

thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!

nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!

Cant flash, ERROR 246

First of all, hi, i was reading a lot from this forum, and i must say, im impressed. Nice job!
Anyhoo, im running WM 6.1 (Lite) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364031) on my HTC TyTn.
Now id like to flash it into, i dunno, the full version, or 6.5, or something else, but it wont.
I connect it through active sync(on my desktop pc), and i run 'Force Using Safe SSPL', i get the error : ERROR 246. The Update Utility cannot get response from your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone. And also check your PDA Phone.
Click 'Exit' to quit.
I tried to run SPL-2.02/2.10/2.30 and then it goes into bootloader, and at 1% it says 'file corrupted'.
I tried those things on my laptop, too, but still the same problems.
Can anyone help me?

nvr, worked it out.

Try this,
1. Make sure you have HSPL 2.10 or New Bootloader
2. Put Your device into bootloader mode (Until there a "SERIAL" in the bottom of ur device), connect it to PC (Now "SERIAL" change to "USB")
3. Run 838Pro_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712 (official ROM or U can RUN other official ROM can be found on www.htc.com ), don't click "AUTODETECT",
4. Checklist the option button of SPL-2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and Is it Hard-SPL?, after that just click next2 until flashing started
5. If it didnt work repeat step 1-3 and checklist the option button " Force Using Safe SSPL " then follow all flashing step
6. Run AT&T Strip, link: http://www.4shared.com/file/61372397/e2bf76c0/official_ATT_WM6_striped.html
7. Flash WM6.5 ROM you want
Hope its usefull cause I use this when my hermes couldnt load and every flashing it's stuck on 1%
Good Luck

How to load the original ROM back?

I've been reading this forum and the internet for about 4 days now,
hence I post this question...
I have an HTC P3300 (Artemis) and tried flashing windows mobile 6.5 onto the ROM..
it reached about 56% when the usb cable got unplugged and the flash failed.
I can get it into bootloader mode...
I'm from India and the original carrier was Idea.(I suppose so, because it had an Idea screen for a few seconds when the phone was switched on)
I used to use a Vodafone SIM, so I guess it was already CID unlocked.
Tried flashing various roms.. including the HTC windows mobile 6.0 worldwide edition, the t-mobile edition and the sprint edition from this site, after putting it into bootloader mode.
Windows Mobile Device Center will obviously not run, as the phone doesnt go beyond displaying this :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
GSM 02.69.90
OS 1.27.0.0
I havent done a HardSPL and I suppose that the ROM flash only changed the OS ... everything else was probably the same.
I can't get mtty to work via USB....nonetheless, I have no clue how to use mtty.
Here are the filenames of the ROMs i've tried:
1. Evolution 23820 ...(downloaded off some site with windows mobile screenshots that got me all "WOW!")
2. Artemis Vanilla 2.0 WWE
3. ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3.exe ..(T-mobile)
4. HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one should have worked)
5. HTC_P3300_NLD_3.13.404.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe ..(this one's probably german)
6. Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 (some .uif cd image that i downloaded off rapidshare..about 65 MB)
7. Opal_WM6.5_D24_21901_COM2_WWE (I know I shouldn't have tried this, but this was my first attempt after successfully updating a touchviva to windows mobile 6.5, but I was a complete n00b back then..)
I tried all these ROMs mostly using a "ROM Update Utility" included with the package..
I also tried getting the .nbh files out and putting them on a 1GB microSD after renaming them "ARTEIMG.nbh" ...it used to say "Checking SD card".. and then would show the RGB bootloader again with :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
Errors I received while flashing through USB :
1. Invalid Vender ID (390)
2. Connection Error (260)
it generally stops at 3%
What should I do now?
Thanks for reading.

ouhh doesnt look very good. but happens aaand can be solved.
try this:
Hardreset your phone
or reinstall the originalrom in bootmode: link
please keep care of the usb cable. or try to reflash your phone via sd-card. its very easy and less dangerous.

tried both
hard reset lands u to the same place.. HTC logo and IPL SPL GSM OS...
installing the rom from the link given ... shows a connection error(in bootloader mode)

and did you try to install another rom via sd card.
wihtout pc-connection?

You have to first unlock your device by uspl and then install the rom or simple way is by using sd card. Search the forum for upgrading Artemis by sd

ok, but how do i use uspl if all i can get to is bootloader mode?????
i thought that u need to have windows mobile running well to use uspl...

WM5 English ROM
Does anyone have the windows mobile 5 english rom for artemis?
I tried the french WM5 rom from rapidshare.. but it doesnt work...

I got it to work!!!!
thanks to all you helpful kind smart people at xda!
well.. you people kept me searching for answers...
i found the original rom at an htc south asia site.. windows mobile 6.0
the htc artemis p3300 is also called "dopod" on that site...
anyway... the only reason i couldnt get to it in the start was that it said the cellphone serial number i'd entered wasn't eligible for the update..
i just messed with the last few digits (interchanged them) and got it to accept the download...
that was plain lucky,...
but it wouldve never happened if i hadn't tried..
now.. i'm going to do an artemis uspl via windows mobile device center according to the guides on various fora..
thanks people!
i want to post the rom to some site so that people can get it even 3 years from now... (most of my links were all from 2007.. so the rapidshare downloads hardly ever worked!).. but i don't know how..
