Downgrading? no problem

I figured this out by accident..
I upgraded to windows mobile 2003 SE 2.06 but after I found out that half of the programs (MMS composer, cammera, etc..) dont work, due to incompatibility (error message says they are incompatible) I wanted to downgrade.
I ran the same ROM instalation (2003 SE 2.06) and waited for it to erase my ROM, then I took the phone out of cradle. I was dead at that point. I removed main battery, put it back in. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode (hold down D pad in centre position, then power button and soft reset - all at the same time). Then I put the phone back into the cradle and ran the ROM instalation of my choice. No more problems.

Well, I think using SD card method may be saver.
However, I forgot how to do this.
Cheers,

i dont know what i should do!!!
everyone can help me?! please teach me how to "save" it!!!
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

Error 202 Hard-SPL Update

I am very frustrated with my HTC Touch Diamond as I am trying to update it to Hard-SPL yet when it's plugged into the computer (with active sync running) and I follow all the directions very closely, I go to update the phone and it doesn't show any activity on the phone, the progress bar on my computer screen shows 0%, then it eventually pops up with a message saying Error 202. This is a connection error, yet I am positive that the phone is plugged into the computer. Please HELP!

Hello, Did you run SSPL first? You can only flash hard spl when sspl is active it is a black screen.

I have a Telus HTC Touch, does that make a difference on whether or not this will work?

your diamond is cdma. these only work with gsm.

so by the word 'these' in the last post, you mean that the Rom updates won't work?

I don't think SPL has to do anything with CDMA or GSM. Some ROMs have an option in the phone settings to choose either GSM or CDMA.
ryanseyz: Make sure you have a factory ROM ready before trying the cooked ones here so when things happen unexpectedly, you always have a choice. Next, there are 2 versions of SPL here, try both. Make sure you install EnableRAPI.cab and CertSPCS.cab installed on your device.
Regards,
Carty..

anyone has a solution for this yet? I'm experiancing the same problem with my Touch Pro, can't seem to get it to work.
I installed both files like mentioned above but still give error 202.
The funny thing is it does recognize the current version of my rom (stock).
Greetings,
Phyrax

The same here with my mda compact iv. I've tried all versions of the RUU of hardSPL with no result (error 202). When I update the official rom of t-mobile (1.93) with the RUU, there isn't a connection problem and everything goes well.
My device is not simlocked, but i suspect it has a security lock or something like that.

Hello, I have the same problem with a HTC Diamond : error 202 and everything is connected, hotsynched, etc.
Did anyone find a solution ?

anyone??? im having the same problem..

I'm having this issue as well, any solutions?

The same problem
I have a HTC Touch Diamond and have the same problem.
I don't know what i have to do to fix this problem.

I have got the same problem. Add I have problem with align screen, so I can't run any cab on device. Looking for any advice..

i have a htc mda basic ....same problem...any solution...please help....

I'm not sure, but if i'm not wrong i had the same 202 error code last time i tried to reflash original (stock) spl, for warranty reasons. I solved the problem flashing stock spl (from hspl 1.93 olinex) with the phone conencted to activesync: run sspl-manual.exe from the device (previously copy sspl-manual on the device): the phone will go to black screen; than run the normal romupdateutility.exe from pc, and follow ordinary instructions.
Hope this could help.

Try performing a hard reset and report back.
Also, please tell us more about your device.
ps - hard reset: hold volUP and the center button while pressing reset. you should get a gray screen with 2 options. Press volUP again at this point. When it's done, it will tell you to press volUP to reboot.

What Information I need to provide ? I am now in Malaysia and bought from S'Pore phone shop. I think my phone warranty is only for SG.
I cannot download ROM Upgrade version from HTC. The message .."sorry. this software...." was displayed. Then, I used CID Unlocker to upgrade my ROM...
Actually, my Mapking was running in last version of ROM. It just happened after upgrade to 1.93.
What else i need to provide ?

Hi,
I just did the Hard reset as what you mentioned. Still got the same thing.
Rgds

Hi All,
Now OK. I just FORMAT again my internal storeage with FAT32 format.
Thanks..

Are you using stock rom (ie. from HTC) or cooked ROM from this web site?
I am using Dutty's ROM with PAPAGO R12 which is the equivalent version of Mapking R7 (i think). I have no problem with PAPAGO R12.

formatting the internal storage with fat32
I had the same problem, how do i format the internal storage with fat32? i can't find the format option.

Energy ROM semi bricked my Dash, help needed! (And appreciated)

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.
10507

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

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.
