Update a ROM file. Step by Step.

These steps SHOULD unbrick/flash a ROM onto an XDA Orbit. (Only tested on a UK O2 Orbit as this is the only hardware I have)
Step by step:- (works for me. No promises. So far only on a Windows XP machine)
1. Hard reset phone (press and hold two buttons with white lines next to red and green button while pressing reset with stylus. When text appears on screen, release all buttons, read text and if OK press "send" key. This means the GREEN call key. Screen will show FAT formatted etc.)
2. When phone starts to boot back up press and hold TOP LEFT button (speech dial) while pressing reset to enter bootloader mode (screen changes to 3 colour, red green and blue bands.
3. With PC running (XP only for now) connect USB cable to phone. Windows will conect to phone but Activesync will not show as phone is not running Windows at this point (Bootloader only remember!)
4. Run the ORIGINAL ROM file for your handset. If German phone run GERMAN ROM, if UK phone run UK ROM. This should restore the handset back to its factory settings with WM5 running.
5. If you want to upgrade to WM6 I suggest you unlock phone using imei-check first. Easier to fix later on if something goes wrong. Costs about £28 I think.
6. Download and run USPL program by unpacking and clicking on "start_uspl.exe" NOT by running UpgradeROMUtility.exe. If USPL is successful, which it usually is, when the phone restarts pay attention to the RED number that appear on the bootscreen. SPL should read 1.11.0000.
7. After phone is finished re-booting download and run a ROM of your choice. Should install OK, especially if phone is unlocked and USPL'd
Apparently you can flash any ROM by using only USPL. I have not tried this as I previously "bricked" my handset by NOT running USPL when I should have. Therefore I have only detailed the steps that I take to flash my phone if I need to restore from a bad flash.
So far it works for me.

Extended ROM Update Error 113

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**** PROBLEM SOLVED ****
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everybody,
I'm using german T-mobile MDApro with 64MB. I had one of your WM6 running. Good work btw! I only had some issues with WLAN an SDHC so I wanted to update.
And now I am in big trouble. I flashed one of your new WM6.1 as I usually did for the last 12 times when everything worked just fine. Bit this time I had error 113 during Extended ROM Udate. I tried and tried and always hat errors during the update process. And then I found out that I connected the device via USB-Hub!!! I know that it is not recommended. So I removed the hub connected the device to PC, but the error will remain the same for all updates and different ROMs.
There is no way to get the unit running again. Always the same: The fist part of update (CE) works fine, but the second part (extendes ROM) don't start. After a few seconds I get "error 113", sometimes I saw "error 114".
When I do a reset to factory defaults the screen remains completely blank (black)
After reset the device shows serial, connecting it to USB it shows USB. I have to do once or twice the [light + on/off + reset] to get it in this mode. Activesync 4.5 is running but doesn't connect or recognize the device.
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!

some more details...
Bootloader v1.01 start after [power+light+reset]
- serial without USB cable
- usb when cabel is inserted (direct to PC)
MTTY starts and shows USB>
- anything I enter nothing happens on screen. I tried task 28 55aa, screen only shows "usb... v1.01"
Trying to flash original ROM:
- ROM Build starts from 0-100%
- when it tries to store Extended ROM nothing happens until Error 113
- the screen is blank this time (no "usb")
- when I unplug usb-cable screen returns to "serial"
- when I replug usb-cable screen shows "usb" again
BTW: the charge-LED is always off when connected to usb
maybe this helps some of you experts to have an idea?
Did I totally screw up my MDA??

Solution to the Problem
Hi everybody,
I found the solution here in the Forum. So please forgive my double posting
w3rti wrote in his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374564:
So here the steps to do
1. get out SD card and SIM
2.try to fix it with another flash, if doesn't work, step 3 (if computer reconizes your universal with active sync DON'T CONTINUE THIS TUTORIAL)
3.try mtty.exe (open active sync, uncheck usb conn, close active sync, terminate wcsmm.exe in task mngr)
4.now put universal in cradle, open mtty.exe
5.where Port1 is, change to usb, connect
6. (don't copy/paste) press "return", enter "set 14 0", press "return"
7.enter "task 28", press "return"
8.enter "task 28 55aa", press "return"
9.close program, disconnect from cradle
10.backlight+power+reset connect to the cradle
11. use ORIGINAL software to update RADIO only, it should work now, or try RUU_TMO_Radio_11200_GER_20060616.exe (http://rapidshare.com/files/97208659...60616.exe.html)
http://festplatte.aon.at/a/filemanag...R_20060616.exe
12. upgrade With full version, radio, bootloader and winCE
13. hold both "-" "-"-keys and "reset"
14.WAIt, the screen looks black, maybe it takes 5 minutes, but it worked again =)))))
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried the same strings with mtty, but the key was to type it and NOT to copy/paste it. And this time it worked!
And at the end of step 11 there is no feedback on the screen of the pda (blank screen, nothing). So I waited for 10 minutes and gave him a [power-light-reset]
After that my favorite ROM-version did flash all throw the whole process.
Thank you guys

Is MY Diamond bricked ?

I have ( had ? ) a Diamond and tried for HARD SPL.
I was using Jump SPL for the first step.
The batch file had the following steps
REM SSPL for Diamond
REM credits: cmonex for doing wonderful relocation job
pause "Copy JumpSPL.exe to Diamond root directory"
cecopy JumpSPL.exe dev:\
pause "copy SSPL to Diamond root directory"
cecopy sspl-1.01-reloc-mod.nb dev:\
pause "execute SPL now - screen may trun black"
prun JumpSPL.exe 0x800000 sspl-1.01-reloc-mod.nb
pause "Now run DiamondCustomRUU.exe to flash HardSPL 1.24 (mfg) or HardSPL 1.23 (std)"
When I reached the last step , I wanted to execute DiamondCustomRUU.exe but it gave an error that I have to install ".Net Framework".
While installing .Net I had to install window installer first. I had to restart the computer.
But the ActiveSync got disconnected meanwhile.
I tried to reconnect the PDA but a hardware installation wizard appeared .... I don't know what to do with it ??
Now when I run DiamondCustomRUU --- It cannot locate PDA .
What should I do ??

Can you go to bootloader menu?

How can I check that , is there a tool !!!
I cannot start my PDA .... it is blank ( black ) screen after soft SPL.

Try pressing the volume down key and the reset button at the same time. That should get you into bootloader mode.

hold down button and press (red) reset button

Click to collapse
Press soft reset button and volume down at the same time for about 3 4 seconds and if it goes to the 3 coloured stripes menu then its not bricked

or try to remove the battery for about 3 secs

The battery thing worked .... thanks a ton. I see my Diamond alive !!!
Also ActiveSync recognized it
But where is the RED button ???
I am very new .... but now if I want to try to Hard SPL again .... do I have to perform the Jump SPL step again or could I directly start with Hard SPL.
But Thanks for inputs once again.

The red reset button can be found if you remove the battery cover and take out the stylus. You will see a little red button that says 'reset' on the bottom left corner of the phone.

little red button
thats the soft reset button.....your hear it talked ablot alot on the forums
glad the phone is up and running again

Need desperate help with possibly bricked Diamond

Hi all,
Just received my Vodafone-branded Diamond, and I'm afraid I already managed to brick it!
It was equipped with version "1.37.172.3 NLD" so I decided to upgrade it to the latest version.
The installation of OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93 went flawless, but the installation of ROM "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe" stopped at about 25% with error code 302. The recovery method that came with the package didn't help, every time the upgrade stopped at the same moment.
Since the device is stuck in the bootloader, and I'm left with a non-chargeable battery, I tried the official Vodafone-branded "RUU_Diamond_Vodafone_NL_1.97.172.4_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe" ROM. Unfortunately, this upgrade stops at 48% and throws the same 302 error.
Anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what I can do to solve all this?
I hope I don't have a brand new, but bricked device on Christmas!
TIA and have a nice day.

Try a hard reset first. If this doesn't help google or search at XDA for MTTY.
This tool can fix your device

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Stuck_at_bootloader
Try this, maybe will work

Try a Vodafone branded stock rom before mtty.
Regards,
Carty..

He already tried a stock rom....

Potential Solution
Have you looked at the thread titled,
[UPG][TRBL]How-to fix: Update/Flash doesnt work, stops at 0% or 5% (invalid model ID)
It may just be a model ID glitch that can me fixed.
Take a look. It's in this forum in a sticky by cptsunshine.

Thanks all for the help, I'll have a look at your suggestions.
The problem isn't that it stops at 0% or 5%, it stops at random percentages (depending on the ROM I use).
I also see the bootloader (red / green / blue), so it's not dead. I guess it's just that it doesn't pick up a ROM.
Besides, the bootloaders says upgrade ROM code error please try again.
Edit:
A hard reset doesn't seem to work. In the bootloader, when I press "volume down" and "enter" together, and press the "reset button" the screen goes black, but then goes back to the bootloader screen after a sec or 2.
Edit 2:
MTTY doesn't do much either, after executing "boot" the phone is showing me the Vodafone logo and that's it.
For the rest, MTTY shows me the following:
Cmd>boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
dwDirectNum: 0, dwMatrixNum: 0, dwMicroPNum: 0
Fixed new dwPSImageSize = 0x53E0000

Install Rom via Internal Memory Method
Steps from Suiller:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Let me know how it goes.
Make sure you have Net framework 3.5 installed on devices.

I wish I could mate, but I cannot put files on it anymore, since ActiveSync doesn't recognize my device when it's in the bootloader.

Can you please be more specific? Are you telling me how to do a hard reset? I tried as to do a hard reset, but it goes back to the bootloader instead of resetting. USB stick?
Thanks all, much appreciated. A pain this can happen, looking at the fact that I did everything exactly as described in all these flashing manuals.

No mate, I never had problems getting into the 3 color screen. The problem was updating afterwards, which never completed without error code 302.
Anyway, I guess I just fully bricked my device after putting SPL-1.40.OliNex (according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) on it. The SPL install was succesful, but when booting I'm now not even getting to see the 3 color bootloader. All I see is the Vodafone logo with some version numbers at the bottom, but that's it. It doesn't boot further on, and I can't get a USB-connection.
Edit:
Volume down + reset brought me in the bootloader again, although it's saying SPL-1.93.OliNex.

that i know but as i say in the post that when u do it that way i say u can load new firmware whitout it needs to boot try my friend i have done it 3 times because wrong loading of firmware

u have to only push thoose 2 buttom then it will work because u go to rescue mode

But what will that give me extra? I can access the Hard-SPL 1.93 bootloader (3 color screen), and I can get into USB mode. It's just that the upgrade of both firmwares stop at a certain percentage.
I'm constantly trying to hard reset the device, but after pushing the reset button (with both volumn down + enter pressed down), the device just reboots back into the bootloader and doesn't give me the hard reset warning.

u need to hold them down until it leave the 3 color display an turns into grey

Ok, finally managed to do a hard reset. Afterwards I tried upgrading to the official Vodafone NL 1.97 ROM once more, but it failed at 48% again.
Any ideas what to do? I know have Diamond with Hard-SPL 1.93 (which says upgrade ROM code error) with no working OS.

Ok all, got it finally working again!
Don't ask me why, but flashing the newest Dutty ROM (and the included radio) did work.
Thanks for all your help, and a wonderful evening!

Hi all,
I have a quit similar problem. I've read a lot, but couldn't find an answer to my problem - may bye someone can help me.
I updated my Dimond (OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93, radio 1.09.25.23 and rom dutty V4). When I start my phone most of the time (95% plus) I end up in the color screen - however some time it's starts perfect (without changing anything).
When I get stock in the color screen, I can start the phone with mtty and the command "boot".
What can I do to make my phone always start in the normal way?
Thanks!

i smell a radio issue - last time i was trying to upgrade my radio - ended up with something similar, managed it out like you did - but now you're up - so that's good!!
try some other rom (this time without radio) - i don't think you should have any issues going forward... good luck and have fun!

Help htc touch diamondtive sicron.

Hay i have htc touch diamond how to uptade wm 6.1 to 6.5 ? I try to connect wia active sicron. But cannot uptade

Tanks on fasst answer i got 4 colors screen , red ,yelow , blue ,white on top writte diam100 64m spl-1.37 i pressing power button nothing happening ,help . I new one here

Connect your diamond to PC as a disk drive (mass storage) and copy your ROM to Internal Storage. Make sure it`s name is "DIAMIMG.nbh" (*.nbh is the extension, make sure it is only once, not like this: "DIAMIMG.nbh.nbh" ) and than hit the reset button and hold vol down + back key. After update make a hard reset, hit the reset button and hold vol down + center key and follow the instructions on the screen (vol up to format only phone memory).
I hope you understood.
Good luck!

This part is ok now writte "trigger usb host " noting happend but i clean f disk ( memory internay ) only left image file how to run update ?

So... put "DIAMIMG.nbh" into Internal Storage (root). Unplug you diamond from PC, hit the reset button, and hold vol down + back key, press power key, wait for update to complete.

Just going by my Diamond and what you said in a previous post, it should say (quoting my diamond) "SPL-1.24. Hard"
You can't flash custom ROMs with a stock SPL.
Link for HSPL is in here, read along with it.

If you can connect to activesync (should be possible, since you are back to original),
use the customRUU method. At least that should give an idea of where the process is getting wrong, plus will allow recovery.
