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.

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..

I tried to flash unsuccessfully an 8525 that I have (from work) that has never been used.
The device is locked. I tried several times to flash it from my Vista machine but no go.
It detect the SPL 1.04, click next a few times, start the update process, the 8525 reboots and gets in USB mode ready to start the flash, then nothing.
It sits there for 30 seconds or so then display error code 260.
I checked the codes but didn't find it in the list.
Tried flashing from the microSD card but same thing. Reboot and it goes in the serial mode (with the screen RGB blocks) then does nothing else.
Haven't ever had a problem flashing my TyTN so I'm wonder what gives.
check if the image is OK, download it once again and change the USB port or machine is possible, i have an 8525 that works fine with VP3G so is something locally
mine works fine with that ROM.
did you use pof's unlock and install HARD-SPL 2.10 first?
Thats what I did. Worked like a champ.
haven't unlocked nor installed HardSPL first.
Do you think that might be the issue?
The device is completely stock, locked to AT&T.
Yes that is the issue. All the roms you find here are not vendor specific. You must install HardSPL first, then you can flash these ROMS..
Read Mr Van's guides too they are most helpful and easy to understand...
cool... will give that a shot. i figured i must have missed something since my TyTN had never had any issues being flashed (god knows how many times).
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).

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.

Hi, i have been trying for the last month and a half to try another rom on my hermes,but it seems i can't.
i have flashed many Roms and i never had a problem in doing that till the las time when i tried to flash into the new S64.
every time i try flashing into any new rom it rejects me by giving me the (ERROR 260) telling me i'm not connected and the USB cardle thing, but all of my connections are correct and my ActiveShyn is up to date and i was always flashing roms in the same way.
Some seniors here when i have mentioned that told me that it seems i have flashed or reflashed the Hardspl, so i'm trying to reflash the Hardspl, i have tried endless times but it keeps telling me the same althought i have downloaded almost every hardspl that is available in the xda site lol.
what i'm requesting please if possible to direct me in the steps that i need to make my hermes functional again please i'm sure u understand what i'm saying.
some have mentioned that cause i still have the
herm100 i can't flash it into another roms but that sounds a bit strange lol.
I know that i have still herm100 (old) and my ipl-1.01
and spl-1.06 but i think that dosn't matter in my opinion.
Please i request if u can help me in fixing my problem by providing me the steps by simple words and if you have a fresh zips of hardspl coz i'm so confused which one to use, it would be nice to hear how to do it step by step.
i really need your support and excuse me if i'm bothering u with this kind of request but i didn't know where else to go and ask.
My Current rom is the HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6[1].1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.03.2008 which is old and i would like to refresh my phone by a new version.
i was thinking of the new HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3 / GER v1 but i don't know if it would work on my herm100 cause i was told it was designed for herm200 and abouve is that true?
If not well there are so many more roms out there i would like to try but i'm stuck for the moment.
please again i wouldn't have bothered u with my request if i wasn't facing this problem.
thank u a lot and i hope to hear soon from u commrade.
Dayhauck.
have you tried to manually go into the bootloader and flash? You don't need activesync to flash like that if you're connected with USB. Also, from your SD card. Both have worked for me in the past.
Though you should have Hard SPL installed if you want to use the sd card method.
i have tried to do it manualy but i not much of a luck in loading the Hard SPL.
I really don't know what to do. i can't even f;ash to the original htc rom .
what else can i do?
1. Check your usb cable.
2. Try different USB ports in ur PC,
3. Check if the mini USB in Hermes is not damaged.
4. Check the bootloader if you have HardSPL installed.
5. Try SD method,
6. Read the wiki.
check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for sd card method for Hard SPL V7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
I had the same problem. If you can activesync with the cable then all you need to do as already mentioned above.
With the phone attached manually go into bootloader (hold on/off on right of phone and 'ok' on the left of phone both in while you prod the phone reset at the bottom of the device).
When you have the multicoloured boot loader run the update and it should work fine.
Hope this is some hepl
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.

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.

Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)
greetz
ferfecir Clean
This is the best clean rom which is a modified version of Yues clean with 30mb free ram.

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!
download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.
this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton

i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.
Thanks
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.
thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.
