HardSPL fails on HTC Prophet - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello everybody!!
I am a beginner in ROMupgrading issues, but i would really love to give my prophet a new soul
So i downloaded 2 cooked roms here, and tried to install them.
Both recommended doing a HardSPL. But after copying the jumpSPL and running it(white screen on Prophet), the the "RomUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" crashes while "receiving information from phone" without any error message...
I use a fully updated windows 7, did anyone face similar problems or has solutions?
Thank you VERY much
PS: I already tried the XP mode AND running the update utility as an Administrator, but both had no effects! Running the hardspl from a virtual machine under XP fails because the usb isn forwarded after the jumpSPL has been startet...

Updating JASJAR

Hi all,
I have been trying to check out the forum here, to try and solve my problem, I literally bought my JASJAR today, and it was giving some wierd behaviour. In an attempt to reload the software (I prefere to reload the entire ROM), something went wrong, now all thats on my screen is "USB" and a lil lower down "v1.01".
ActiveSync obviously not connecting now bcos the OS is not on the JASJAR no more, in my device manager is a "Microsoft USB Sync" under my mobile devices.
I downloaded what I am guessing is WM6, 'JASJAR_WWE_20106_20301_11300_wwe_ship' from another thread in this forum, tried to load that but cant communicate with device cos no activesync.
I have tried the different reset options, like the 2 function keys and the reset on the back, I push 0 to clear, and then it jus goes back to the USB v1.01 thing.
I am running windows vista home basic, with the Windows Mobile Device Center, it synced perfectly with this software, communicated properly with the update tool, until my device reset and activsync lost connection, then i was stuffed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like it is your first time with the upgrade. What you are seeing on the screen is the bootloader, which is what we use for flashing new ROMs.
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (how come you have both on Vista?) will therefore not respond. This is fine, because we use a different program to load the new ROMs.
If you look at the folder you downloaded, chances are that there should be a program called "ROMUpgradeUt" or something similar. Provided that you have not changed anything in the folder, you should be able to flash the new ROM by simply following the instructions in the program.
You can also read this link for more information: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Here is an instruction guide on ROM upgrading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
how come you have both on Vista?
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I have both, I recently moved to Vista, and am used to calling it activesync and not WMDC.
Thanks, will have a look
Ok, well I have got it up and running again, only problem now is activsync keeps freezing when I try and sync the device...any ideas?
I landed up using my work computer, which has XP on it, and then used MTTY and that connected fine, on Vista it simply didnt wanna work.
I ran the utility for those 'stuck on serial/usb', and that fixed it. Now I would like to load up WM6, but it keeps getting communication failures.
Thanks for the help guys....I got it working...running on WM6 now...whoo!!

Having trouble upgrading to WM6

I have an 8525 and I am trying to upgrade to HTC_TyTN_WWE_3[1].54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe and I keep getting the same error message. "Error 264 The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone " My phone is connected and everythign appears fine until I try try to update. I have even tried the guide at http://www.mrvanx.org and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?
Invalid Vendor ID
O.k. I am a little further. It starts the install and then I get the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message.
Do you have activesync installed on your pc?
Are u using vista or xp?
I'm also having a problem trying to upgrade to WM6. Whenever I start the process it switches my phone into standby then as activesync can't see the phone I get an error message!
What are your answers to the two questions above? Running vista or xp? What version of activesync if any are you running?
Are your phones unlocked, CID, etc?
I don't know if it is required or not for a "official update" but have you installed HardSPL?
On another note, I would post this question into the parent thread for the rom that you are trying to install, that way you may get more looks. Good luck
Running Windows XP with Activesync 4.5 not sure about SPL?! How can i find out?
See here, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
Read over all of this, in Re: to the hardspl, i believe its the first hyperlink listed.
Assuming that you are set on that particular rom, what I'd do is extract the rom file from the package you downloaded using winrar and then use customruu to load it on. Ive' never had any problems with it on XP. This protects against bricking as much as possible. Also just in case you haven't seen this before, flashing roms and hardspl from here will void your warranty if you need to have it serviced at any time. There is a way to get back to warranty acceptable 'standards' though. But you can't take it in as is.

HardSPL for Artemis

Hello,
Does anyone plan on developing HardSPL for the artemis... I don't want it to simunlock or anything JUST to have the exact features it has on the Hermes... flash anything... doesn't get overwritten.
I just switched from Hermes to Wings now this... and USPL seems less reliable... plus i can't install it with vista ...
Thanks
for the part about USPL not working on vista you can try this, worked for me!
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
Thank you for your response...
I have tried the trick and it does NOT work in Vista 64...
The drivers are ok... but USPL refuses to run correctly.
any thoughts?
At what part does the program fail, and does it give any error or message?
Well... i start uspl_start and it opens a command window and starts displaying "Could not run 16 bit application.. please contact etc.... for a 32 bit or 64 bit executable"
Short of installing a 32 bit operating system (dual boot or in a virtual machine, like vmware, make sure it has usb passthrough) all you can do is wait for someone to create a version that does not use the same 16 bit code.
edit: kicking this thread so someone will notice it might help to

Can't exit bootloader screen

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my XDA using Ranju's latest updater, the whole process failed and now I'm stuck at the BL screen "USB" at the top (when connected, otherwise it says "serial") and "v1.00" at the bottom.
My PC, SyncCentre and Windows Mobile Device Centre (I'm using Vista) all show the device as being disconnected (up until trying to upgrade everything had been fine).
As it's not showing up on my PC all of the software options for recovering it dont fail, all end with a plethora of USB not connected errors etc
I've tried the how-to on the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader_Serial to no avail.
Does anybody have any ideas? Greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Lee
with jasjar-bl1.01-ruu-v1.2 I always restart my JJ Leave your uni in bl and start the application Good luck......
I think the Vista is not the problem this upgrade don't use AS or "in italian centro gestione dispositivi WM"
Bye
M.C.
Well, I flashed my Qtek a while ago, it failed to flash (using Vista) and doing a hard reset after it whas hanging at the startupscreen(the one with all the rom/radio numbers). No matter what I tried, following the instructions on Vista windows mobile center all failed... The good news is that your computer and your PDA still see when it is connected, ie USB/Serial, like in my case!
I then tried it on my desktop/XP, it flashed without a problem...
The funny bit is that I flashed my herald (WM6) 2 times using Vista without any problem...
I cannot explain but if U have the possibility, try and see if it works on XP...!
Good luck!
are you trying to flash it WITH your SIM card and / or SD card inside? If so, try taking them both out! It worked for me a few times!
I would start by getting rid of vista !
i had the same xprience
the different was i downgrade from wm6 to wm5 (i need the vcall)
failed in vista, succeed in xp
-> my advice : try in xp !! don't forget to remove the sd card
Manual for how to flash a rom in Vista
Read this post, you have the solution to the problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
You need to update the driver manually, if not, will not be able to install the driver.
You need to do this without sd/sdhc and without the sim.
If you follow these instructions, you can flash with success.

Errors Numbers : 266 & 264 & 302 while Upgrading PPC

I decided to tell something about my experience today about these Error numbers while Upgrading my Hermes (T-Mobile MDA VARIO II) .
Dear friends….i read Upgrading instuguidances again and again but there is a gold issue I did not notice untill today.
whenever I put my PPC into Boot Loader Mode and connect it to PC to upgrading these Errors appear immediately and I was in trouble what those errors are.
It checked the cable or some different Official ROMs but in fact I noticed all growth from Windows.
Yeah…
I am in winder why Microsoft does not make it possible upgrading PPC over Windows XPSP3 !!!
Whenever I run RUUWarpper on Windows XP Service Pack 3 these errors shown while I was sure about correct cable and correct ROM and ….
Sooo I want to share it to all peoples this gold notice :
Upgrading PPC is just possible on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
not Windows XPSP3 nor Windows Vista.
I think it is good for someone else that search and find these Topic in database of this nice/great Forum if same problem has appeared to him.
Here is some pictures of those errors & some proof if is required.
Mate, there has been a heap of threads on how to upgrade with Vista. It Works.
I have, on occasion, upgraded my Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully. If it doesn't work for you, try the sd card method, you have to install Hard SPL V7 first, I tend to use this method more as it seems safer to me... Especially for the radio rom.
All you need to do is search and you should find the answers you seek...
Cheers...
So really can you Upgrade your Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully?
you mentioned some keywords but could you please show me those links exactly how to upgrade our Hermes on XP SP3 too?
I think this forum is so noisy i can not find it myself.
I really need Upgrade HERM300 (T-Mobile MDA Vario II) on XP SP3 on my Laptop.
its boot loader shows IPL-1.04 & SPL-2.10.olipro
is it enough or not?
about 1 hours after reading your post I tried again upgrading on XP SP3 and put it on Boot Loader but nothing. (above Errors had shown again and again)
i would be appreciate if you show us that useful links (upgrading over XP SP3 normaly like XP SP2 successfuly)
Mate, as you have Hard SPL installed (SPL 2.10) try this instead...
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file of the rom you want onto it and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Put sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader - power, OK and reset with stylus.
3. When prompted hit the power button to flash new rom.
Just make sure you have 50% or more battery though.
I find this method the easiest way of flashing roms as there is no real involvement of the PC except to format sd card and copy the .nbh file across. You'll get no sync errors, have no worries about resets/blackouts ar the usb cable being pulled. About the only ways to stuff this up is to reset in the middle of a flash or to have a flat battery.
Cheers...

Yes you can upgrade it in XP SP3. Do you have .net installed in the pc? If you dont, then you will be getting errors too.

Yes.
.NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 is installed on my XP SP3 shows on Add/Remove Programs on Control Panel.
I am sure.
and by your accepting we can upgrade PPC on XP SP3 , I resolute and will search and search again to find any solution why i get those errors on XP SP3 while you both told me upgrading is possible.
dear friends ,Thanks for your communion.
What you experienced was what I just did went thru
Had the same thoughts with the problem, I get Error [264], I also thought the CID-unlock issue. Tried many ways to get thru but fail in the end. Well yea, your piece of notes enlighten me. I will try on XP SP 2 and below, gotta find the machine some where first
Thanks for this post.

dear ferioz...
after those days passed what about your siuation?
has your problem solved using Windows XP Service Pack 2 ?
did you find any System running XP SP2 and try upgrading your PPC ?
If you have trouble with the pc, try the SD card method. Easier and I believe safer too as no-one accidently resets the pc in the middle of a flash. This method is a MUST when upgrading Radio ROMs...
For the PC though, you might need to update your .net framework to 3.5.
Cheers...
dear ultramag69...
You recommened this safely nice upgrading method and wrote a how to on this post and I love it and thank for suggest it.
I did not have enough time to upgrade and change my Hermes ROM recently from December 2008 so I did not try this method still cause PPC will go to Factory Default settings and programms installed will be ununstalled and I hate installing again and again.
anyway...
so Thanks for your nice answer and remind.
I suggest others try this method too instead of using PC running XPSP 2 specially this days mostly use Vista running Windows Mobile Device Center instead of XP running ActivSync.
