Trying to flash Tilt 2 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

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.

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

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.

Diamond not conecting

I want to upgrade rom on may diamond but when conect the phone to my conputer the phone it just starts to charge. The computer does not detect him and I have activated usb conection on the phone.
I am using a standard miniusb cable used also for canon fotcamera, Nokia N95, motorola V3 (v360 L6, L7 etc.)
I did instaled Activesync on my computer but still no result.
You did no say which Win OS you are using - If Vista then you do not need activesync (AS) but windows mobile device centre or any other Win OS Before Vista then AS is what you need. AS needs to be installed before you connect your phone to the PC.
Have you restarted your PC first before install - this also helps sometimes
Try this....
Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and here ....uncheck the box Enable advanced network functionality
Just a reminder to please use the Internal Method when flashing a new Rom or Radio. Do not rely on your PC as errors occur more frequently.

I did uncheck that box but without any results so now I will try internal method. But I'll have to send the file to the phone via bluetooth and see if it works.

How much is it supose to take "Internal method"?
After pressing Vol_Down + Back button it showed the three color screen then it changed to a white screen with loading on it and it stays like that (after pressing Vol_Down + Back button I didn't press nothing else).
The Internal Method shouldn't take you any longer then 2 min. or so.
Once you have started the flashing to begin in the Grey menu....it will eventually say OK...OK
and yes
at this stage you soft reset and press vol down and centre round button.
Grey menu then gives you a choice to reset back to manufactures settings which is what you want (vol UP)......this should take an additions 2 min. if that.

I have tried everything that you said and nothing.
The only diference is that now when I conect the cable to the phone it asks me witch mode to conect it (Activesync or storage), but the computer still doesn't see's it.
Tried another USB-cable?

I tried with 3 diferent cables.
Have you tried putting your device into bootload mode (soft reset & vol. down) and the connecting to your pc. The bottom of your coloured screen should switch from serial to usb....If this switches to USB then you are good to go with downloading what ever Rom using the RUU_
Keep me posted...

It doesn't switch's to usb it only shows "serial". If I put it into bootmode while it is conected to USB it shows nothing, not "USB" or "Serial" it's blank.
I am begining to belive that there is a hardware problem in my phone.
Do you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Upgrade ROM code error

I have flashed many Custome ROM's before. I have HardSPL installed on my phone.
I tried flashing to a ROM (I forget which one now, I think Cloudfa or something) and it stopped at about 15%. The Update utility stopped as well.
I cannot connect to bootloader at all. I tried holding down on Volume down/Reset to enter bootloader, but the thing is that it's already in bootloader with the message "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again"
ActiveSync doesn't see my phone either. In fact all it does is just sit on the bootloader screen with that error...
Please Help... Thanks You...
A normal soft reset still brings you back to Bootloader?
What happens when you plug in your device? Does it not change from serial to USB at the bottom?

Sorry. Yes it does show USB when plugged in, but won't respond to anything that I have tried software wise. It does not switch from this bootloader/error screen at any point. Even after I pull my battery and turn it back on...
I have yet to come across a thread which has this exact problem...

Have you tried flashing a different ROM while in bootloader?
^^ Yes. It give me an error on my computer...
I would like to try the internal flashing method but I don't seem to have a way of getting at my Storage Card.
I found this thread with a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480022
I WAS just able to get off of that screen I was talking about, but the best I get is to the Touch Diamond Screen that lists my ROM and such. So no real progress.
I have a feeling that I would resolve my problem if I could Flash from the Interanl Storage...
Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Pull out stylus and Holding....1) Vol. Down 2) Center Round button 3) then press red button aka soft reset with stylus
Nothing...

Bricked Diamond

Hi folks,
Can anyone help me?
I was using BSB 6.5L WM6.5 on my Diamond and i had some problems with that.
Mainly, my Diamond was "hard reseting" the manufactures settings everytime i turned it on.
So i decided to downgrade it to WM 6.1
At this point i started to have serious issues.
I installed Rom 1.93xx and just after the uptade, my Diamond froze in the first black screen (Touch Diamond and radio/Rom version).
Even if i do the hard reset, it freezes again in the boot screen.?
So, how could i go back to the Rom i was using before or install another one?
My Diamond is useless now... Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
should've used search, this is also a wrong forum for this topic.
with that said, power off the phone, press and hold power, volume down and reset until you see the tri-colour bootloader screen, connect the phone to your PC, you should be able to flash at this point.
do report back.

What technote said is incorrect, doing that will just cause it to try and read from the Internal Storage, what you want to do is what I did when I had the exact same problem;
With the phone on the frozen screen - make sure the USB cable is DISconnected, open ActiveSync/WMDC on the PC and in connection settings, disable USB connections. Now press the red reset button on the phone and as the phone is turning on (before it vibrates - 'touch Diamond' splash), you need to press Volume Down once, don't hold it. Just press it once. Now plug the USB cable in when the tri color screen appears, and Serial should be written near the bottom. Renable USB connections in ActiveSync/WMDC and then flash a ROM. All should work.
Thanks...
It worked flawlessly....

When i do this, it still keeps going to the splash. I reset, press vol down, and it continues to go to the splash. If i do it the other mentioned way, power, reset, vol down i get to the tri colour screen.
how to enter in bootloader = press volume down and reset simultaneous !

[Q] bricked tilt 2

help please!
i preformed task 29 on my tilt 2 and i now have an ATT screen and wont go any further. when i try to stat it it only goes as far as the first screen and no further. i tried resting it to no avail. i can not establish connection with pc. i have vista for pc. can somebody help please?
Yes. now u preformed that, you want to plug in your USB. Push reset and the lower volum button at the same time. You will go into boot loader mode. It should say USB on the bottom once u have made a connection after connecting your USB to the computer. At that point flash your Radio, after flashing your radio, flash your rom. All like you normaly would ..
PS. make sure Sim and MScard is out of phone before preforming Flashing Radio, then the rom. Then replace the sim card after all the installation from the rom you are installing..
First go back to the task 29 post and read all the instructions.
Task 29 is a memory wiper,it completely wipes the memory of the device leaving only the radio and basic functions.
To get up and running again follow these instructions:
1. Download the newest stock rom for ATT found in the Rom Development forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168
2. Remove back cover from the device, remove the battery, remove the SIM card and remove the SD card if you have one. Reinstall the battery, do not replace the back cover.
3. Power up the device and connect it to the PC. Press the down volume button and press and hold the stylus into the reset button, hold both until the boot screen appears. Windows may install some software at this time, let the software install.
4. When USB appears at the bottom of the boot screen run the ROM installer software run. Follow ALL on screen instructions.
NOTE: If you have Hard SPL installed you can install any custom ROM, if not you MUST install a STOCK SHIPPED ROM.

First of all check to see if your phone is hardspl'ed by turning phone completely off then hold volume down key then power phone back on from here you should be on tri-color screen see what the spl version says if it says 0.85Olinex it's hardspl'ed anything else is not hardspl'ed.
If your phone is hardspl'ed then your good all task29 does is wipe your entire os off your phone thats why it won't boot to nothing but the startup screen so in order for it to boot you need to flash a rom on to it, so like before power phone off hold volume down key & power phone on you should be on tri-color screen again at the bottom of phone screen it should say serial now plug in usb from computer now it should say usb at the bottom of phone find a rom that you like then flash it phone should reboot after flash & work like normal once again.
Hope this helps
thank you all you guys. you all were awesome. as you could imagine, i am new to wm. but with the help of every body, i got my phone up and running.
