Upgrade ROM Error

I try to upgrade ROM by SER-v1.2 for my ET180,
When I run XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe,
error occur:
ERROR: GetDeviceData - Unspecific error
error getting devicedata
does anyone know the reason?
thanks

I think the problem is, that the ET180 isn't a HTC Wallaby device.
Never heard this name before......

Are you trying to flash your XDA II with a cooked ROM made for XDA I ??!!

no ... whichever rom i try... i get the same problem...
1. i double click the rom exe file.
2. a small dos window opens up, where i presume its trying to get some data from the phone.. it shows... FAILED TO GET DATA FROM PHONE...
3. the installation window open .... when i click NEXT.. it shows error getting data from phone. please check USB connection etc..
i phone is synced properly before i start the installation. i tried it by disabling the sync as well.
i even tried the i-mate 1.72 rom version . same thing. i even tried the A3.09 cooked rom for wm2003.
whats going wrong? is there a way i can run the exe on the phone itself, by transfering it to the documents file or something???
please let me know.. wierd thing is that i've got my O2 XDA II with 1.66 & not 1.60. i actually want to put 1.60, but when i log onto myxda.com & try downloading it, it says ur phone does not need to download it as it got a latat verion already installed.(obviously ive registered my phone there with my imei no)
any ideas?? please let me know. 1.66 is not stable & im having lots of problems with the sound. & sometimes i get a call, but my phone does not ring.
all this started with SBP's software.. especially Phone Plus II.
since ive removed it, its better but yet not good enough. maybe i should just do a hard reset. But how many times can i keep doing that??
its irritating.

I 'm totally confused!! ... which ROM you are using to flash which device ??!!!
cooked WM2003 ROMs (like 30.09 and 4.01.16) are made for only Wallaby devices (XDA I) ... the 1.60, 1.66, 1.72 ... etc are made for only Hymalia devices (XDA II) .... now what is the exact error you get when you are doing exactly what ?

URGENT HELP REQUIRED RE: XDA II O2 NEW ROM FAILURE

PLEASE PLEASE CAN someone help me. I download the latest ROM from www.o2.co.uk/xda (Xda_II_172181) I also downloaded the instructions and followed it word for word. When i got to the stage to click on 'UPGRADE'. All seemed ok, but sudendly i got an error message saying there was a problem i had to disconnect my device from the cradle and reset and start again, so i did exactly this, but now i get the error message i get is >>>>
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."
(please see my attachment for screen shot)
I went back to the O2 site and downloaded the same ROM again and attempted to load it, again following the instructions given by O2 and got exactly the same error message. I have given my XDA II a hard reset but all i get on the display is 'USB V1.03' I cannot connect to ActiveSync, can anyone please offer me any advice.
Thank you in advance,
Regards

Kind Regards,
nya

I've successfully update the 1.72 Rom for my XDAII but my previous backup was not successful!! is it because different rom? The Hong Kong O2 told me to do a backup first, but after upgrade it seems that my previous Rom 1.62 doesnt' support... is that the case? :shock:

100000000000000 of thanks!!!!!

Dont worry my friend it is not a difficult situation first of all and happends with alomst every 3rd person upgrading rom.
Adopt the following sequence.
1 - Enter boot loader mode as described by operator
2 - When you see usb or serial mode then you have a working unit which can be saved.
3 - The problem (if boot loader is active) is only due to radio rom just upgrade it.
4 - To upgrade only radio rom you have to do the same things you did for whole rom but keep out ext and os rom out of package.
5 - if problem persist then use Radio rom version 1.09 instead of current one
Hope this will help you if not please contact

furthermore, i would like to ask why this problem occur?
my fault ? or just some simple system error?
i am so worried of it.......

Yes you can find it in ftp files section or you can detach it from latest vodafone rom package just unpack exe and and copy radio rom

This is not your problem just a system error in upgrading process

Installing Hard SPL from android?

hello everyone..
this morning I was intended to revert my kaiser back to WM 6.1,
I followed the instruction to put the ROM to my SD card along with KAISDIAG.nbh.
but maybe I chose a wrong rom, as the process goes, I just realize that the process was deleting my hard SPL..
now the text my 3 color display only says "SPL-1.56.0000"
but the android is still working....
so now my phone run on android without hard SPL...
could anyone help me? is it possible to install a hard SPL from android?
flashing from SD card doesn't works because I don't have any hard SPL installed..

There is no way at present to install hardspl from android, since we cannot run jumpspl, however you should still be able to flash a stock 6.1 rom using usb method.
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk

I have tried, but the process always failed with connection notification.It says that update utility cannot connect with my pda phone.
Well the problem is, flashing with usb method needs activesync connection with the computer. since microsoft activesync doesn't applicable anymore, I have no idea how to build connection with my phone. Besides, nothing seems happened every time I connect my phone with usb cable. Its just like my pc couldn't detect the device.
Should I install some kind of programs first on my pc? or am I miss some steps to make my phone detected by my computer?
I'm using windows xp by the way..

The CustomRUU still works for me if you boot the phone into SPL first (reset and camera+power buttons) then plug it into the computer and run the RUU (no activesync connection), so you should be able to flash a WM ROM, then you can sort out the HardSPL later
EDIT: Or does that only work for me because I have already got HardSPL?

yes it works..
the process goes, but only for 1 % . my phone reset itself and the notification on my pc says about invalid vender ID "this update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone, please check your update utility."
since the only stock rom that I found is .exe which is extract itself, I couldn't use The CustomRUU. Could this be the problem? or do I choose a wrong rom?
edit : I'm trying to install Factory Shipped ROM form HTC
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
Do you know where to find stock rom for kaiser? most of the post about stock rom leads me to wiki xda, which is not available anymore.
thanks.

Not sure if these will work, but there are links to original HTC and ATT ROMs here
Also at the bottom of that post is a link to some reconstructed original ROMs
I have no idea if these will work any better than the one you've already tried, but it's probably worth having a go

thanks for the link..
I have visited that thread before, actually the 1st ROM that I tried to flash is also from that page. Both original ROMs for HTCor ATT doesn't works for my phone. But thanks to you I just realize the link about some reconstructed original ROMs.
Well, My phone is KAIS-100 which is made in Taiwan.
I guess I'll try Chinesse HTC 1.56.708.3.
I hope this one will make a progress.
-----------------------------------------
aww... still not working..
with reconstructed ROM, the process stuck at 0%, give me error [262] notification : update error. The manual said that if this kind of error occurred, I just need to do soft reset and run RUU again. I have tried several times even restart my pc first, but still not working.. any suggestion?

Try to flash radio. If you can't do it i think that you have messed up the bootloader

I can't...
the result is same, I'm trying to flash KAIS_Radinly_1701909 or KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1710901_Custom, I got stuck in 0% with error [262]
The text in my bootloader says
KAIS-100
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
So, is there nothing else I could do if I have broke my bootloader?

No one can help me anymore? T-T
(running to the middle of the street and shout "why God, why??")
So, the lesson is :
If you are trying to flash back to windows mobile, DO NOT use factory shipped rom. Because it will modify your hard SPL and downgrade your radio version.
If the process failed and your hard SPL gone, you will get stuck in half working android without being able to flash anything, including correct your radio version, or reflash your kernel to fix your panel setting.
correct me if I'm wrong..
well, I hope my experience could be useful for you.
Thanks.

You can extract the exe file with winrar and you'll have all the files including RUU_signed.nbh
Rename it to kaisimg.nbh and copy to sdcard
Don't know if you can install from sdcard but since it's the shipped rom it might let you.

thank you salac..
I also have tried that method, using winrar to extract exe files.
but still, no luck for me..
Flashing via SD card got me stuck at loading screen, and I also tried to use custom RUU to flash the files via usb but my phone reset itself at 1% of the process and gives me error message [294] : invalid vender ID.

SOLVED
Finally
after days of yearning..
I found a suitable WM 6.1 ROM for my kaiser.
My phone is KAIS 100 HTC P4551. Usually, KAIS 100 model is for AT&T but mine is HTC branded, so that's why AT&T stock ROM won't works and my phone was originally shipped for US, that's why most of WWE stock ROMs always give me error 294.
So, basically I have to use HTC WWE ROM for US and this is really gives me hard time since HTC US website only provide ROM for AT&T.
In case you have same problem with me, I have uploaded the ROM at rapidshare
and you could find it here.
Now, I can flash a hardSPL, fix my radio version....
and flash back to android..
