Help with Aussie 3 network WM6 -> dopod 838 pro - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi I have done a search on the existing thread but can't find any relevant topic (for aussie).
I have a dopod 838 pro current using Black 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
I have decided to flash the ROM back to the official 3 network WM6, so I downloaded the RUU from 3 network website, and run the RUU. It works fine until it booted the phone into bootloader mode, and it just won't continue anymore (no memory card in the slot) The error message is saying it can't detect my phone (well activesync doesn't recognise the phone in bootloader mode anyway).
So I un-packed the RUU, renamed the NBH file to Heraimg and put it to my microSD. however my phone (while in bootloader mode) doesn't detect the microSD card.
can anyone give me a hint here?

1. Make sure you've got a good charge in your battery as it will take a while! Make sure the card is Fat32 formatted.
2. Rename the file on the SD card HERMIMG.nbh (your typo or lack of extension may have caused a failure as the bootloader looks for the exact filename)
3. Put the card in and then hold down the OK button (left side) and the power button (right side) and press reset with your stylus.
4. After a couple of seconds - you should get a screen with instructions on it (and list of what's to be updated) - Follow the instructions and all should work.
Hope this helps - good luck!

THIS WILL NOT WORK WHEN CID DEMAGED WITH SPL 2.03!! ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE UNLOCKED CID PUT IN MTTY CONSOLE AND RUN : TASK 32 IF YOU SEE LEVEL=0 THIS IS GOOD IF YOU SEE LEVEL=FFF SD CARD WILL NOT WORK.
2. you can try first this http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
if you received message image corrupted sent to imei-check to fix.&70pounds...then good lack..

sorry for the late reply. haven't had the time to do this till now. I followed mbsshop1302gsm's instructions and it works.
thanks alot ppl!

6800 bricked - titan startup screen HELP

ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....
az
well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....

hi, you must place the rom on the sd card and then softrest while holding down the camera button. this will make the phone enter the bootloader and look for a rom on the sd card. i think that roms have to be specially cooked to be flashef in this way

yes it is too easy with a search in this forum so no one bother to reply...i think....
Format SD-Card as FAT32.
rename RUU_Siged.nbh to GENEIMG.nbh, Put GENEIMG.nbh on SD-CARD (root).
Charge your device at 100%!
Insert SD-Card in Gene, press AND HOLD "Camera" button, and do soft-reset.
If you see white screen with "Reading SD content":
Release "Camera" button, wait, and when countdown (start from 10s) in left-bottom corner of screen is appear, press "Power" button. Flashing is begin, and approx. 8 minutes long. After you will see "Success. Press any key". Do soft-reset. Congratulation.
PS: not all the rom can be flash via SD card, if you failed, do it the normal way with USB RUU

One thing more
In normal way by flashing using PC i make this before
1.Olipro's SPL for Old Gene
2. i have now white screen so i can flash the rom otherwise the device will breakdown if i did not jump the spl
SO by sd card there is no need to jump spl or what , explain please
greate very usefull info thanks
@Zinzar: I have never used JumpSPL trick, right from the time i flashed my first ROM, i flashed the HardSPL and as mine is a New Gene the Olipro method bricked it and then i unbricked it using Orefkov's method. HardSPL is permanently applied and is never needed to apply again. After that you can flash your phone in both way, RUU and SD Card. NO special thing is needed to do. just format the sd card with Fat32, 4096 kb cluster size (the default one), put the RUU_Signed.nbh on sd card and rename it to GENEIMG.nbh, reboot the phone in bootloader mode and it will read the rom file from sd card. After that just follow the onscreen instructions.
I hope i have answered your query coz i dont really got your question.

How to flash rom on gene from the sd card
hi
pls see below details for the same
.HOW TO FLASH ROM ON GENE FROM THE SD CARD
1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to GENEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.
2.Poweroff your phone
3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone
4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install
Note : it should take about 10-15 mins (as of now i have not tried this try at ur own risk )
also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better
this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)
correct me if im wrong
thanks

i exactly did that..... i'm using a 2GB micro SD with an adapter.... it detects, starts, but at the reading second OS stage it fails with the error...........
Also RUU fails for 64bit system (Using Win7 HP x64).... did it on a friends 32bit....

rename the ruu_signed.nbh to GENEIMG.nbh and the flash a custom rom via storage card.
rom upgrading works very fine on win7 64bit.you Just need to use the right drivers for the same.

Flash from SD using SPL?

Is there a way to flash the Raphael without Windows, just by booting it into SPL and inserting a microSD with an image on it?
Why I'm asking? What, if a new ROM bricks the device in such way, that ActiveSync will no longer connect to it? RaphaelCustomRUU.exe will not work anymore.
If you have HardSPL you can flash from the SD card. I have flashed 6-7 custom roms on my TP and I haven't used the custom RUU for any of them.

I had this problem with ROMeOS v1.04, activesync just did not connect and no programs started, rebooting did not help. I already thought my phone to be brick!
Just press volume down and powerbutton to turn it on (should be off before of course) and you will end in the bootloader, flashing with RaphaelCustomRUU.exe works if the phone is on in bootloader mode and connected to computer. (thank god!)

I guess im the only one who cannot flash a ROMeOS rom from a SD-Card.
I've tried everything formatted the card to FAT32 renamed the .nbh to RAPHIMG.NBH tried caps and non caps. I even tried to format to regular FAT but still no go.
As you can see in my signature i have flashed Hard-SPL 1.90.OliNex
Mine are called RAPHIMG.nbh and they have to be in the root map of your SD, I do this with al the new ROM flashes, because I believe it's faster and you don't have the battery limit (which is there for good reason of course). So root map and there you won't see .nbh in the root map, just RAPHIMG. hope this helps

You need the nbh file extension. It just won't show if you have "Show File Extensions" turned off. If you use FileExplorer on PPC, you'll see RAPHIMG not RAPHIMG.nbh. (Check the file name in Windows or TotalCommander to be sure).
The file must be on the root of you SD Card and it should work, unless the OliNex HardSPL has some extra options / checks.

I already thought he meant the hide extensions thing but just to be sure
I've tried RAPHIMG.nbh but it doesn't work for my device.
I also own a Hermes and just flashed it the SD-Card way with HERMIMG.nbh and that device works perfectly, so it isn't a card problem.
Could it be an Hard-SPL thing then?

I've spoken with cmonex about this and there's no reason it shouldn't flash from the SD card. The code is in Olinex 1.90 to do it.

I just tried it and it works. The file is named 'RAPHIMG.nbh' on the root of my storage card. Booted into bootloader mode and it instantly loads the nbh file.
Nice to know. So finally I do not have to boot Windows any more
I tried this for the first time just now, hadnt even thought to use the sd card, I usuallly go through all the hassle of using a vm just to flash.
File is named RAPHIMG.nbh on the root of the sd, restart holding vol- and thats it.

Could it depend on which ROM you flash? Because honestly i only tried to flash ROMeOS with SD-Card. I never tried to flash DCS or something else.
So many people with successful flashes with the SD so i'm almost sure i'm doing something wrong here.
I will try again a soon as a newer ROM comes out because i'm a bit tired flashing different ROMs
Thanks for all the support.
I was using ROMeOS v1.10. sd card is a sandisk 6gb. Its hard to see what could prevent it from working for you, hopefully something will turn up.
Ishould also note it is considerably faster flashing from sd than over usb.
Put your miniSD in a card reader and from Windows, right click it and select format. Choose fat32 and leave the volume label blank. If it automatically adds a name delete it before proceeding with the format. After it's formatted, place your RAPHIMG.nbh on the rott of the card. Enter bootloader by holding volume down and pressing reset and it will find the image file. From there follow the on screen instructions and it will be done in a few minutes.

It is indeed. It is:
1. Safer [Risk free if you ensure you have at least 50% of battery left.]
2. Faster [Way much faster.]
3. Windowsless [that's a blessing!]
Good luck.

I had problems too flashing hang.tuah's rom but only 1.05 it would flash but not boot up, i tried through 2 pcs and via flash card.
i couldn't flash by my actual card cause from what I read sdhc isn't necessarily supported in bootloader, so i borrowed a friends 2gb microsd and that worked with flashing.
Since there is a new version of ROMeOS i'm gonna try it again.
I'm going nuts over here
I renamed the ruu_signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh and copied it to the root of a FAT32 formatted SanDisk 2GB Ultra II card (non-SDHC) and check it for errors.
When i insert the card and reset while pressing the volume down button to enter the bootloader, the device says "No Image File Found" and just stays in the bootloader
What am i doing wrong here??? It's no that a big deal because i can flash using the wrapper but it should also flash with the SD-Card.
I'm almost giving up here
If there are any more idea's bring em up

Multiple Q's :P

Basically, here is m problem:
I have a hermes. The GSM wasent working. I though maybe an upgrade to WM6 could correct some software bugs.... Wrong!
I realized it actually briecked (type 1a). Trying to follow the instruction to fix it, but i am not able to send ANYTHING to it!. Either by SD or Custom RUU. Finally i am standing with a Hermes, WM6, and it will NOT accept any flashes i try to put in it!
Its on HardSPL (2.10) IPL 1.04
Thanks in advance
Stephen_D
EDIT: Forgot to say what happens when i try to flash it!
With an SD card all I get it "Loading..." then returns to the bars
By USB it starts updating And freezes on 0%, then the software pops an error after 5 mins like what it can communicate.
Thanks
sort of the same problem...
I've been trying to flash a ROM for the past hour now and my phone doesn't get flashed.
(I already have HardSPL and I'm using a 1gig micro sd)
What I did:
Format the sd card to FAT32
copied the RUU_signed.nbh to sd card then renamed it to HERMING.nbh
I place the sd card on the phone that's connected to a charger
I press Power Button and Ok button on the left side then push reset
What happens:
It goes to bootloader mode (tricolor screen)
then it says loading...(2 seconds)
then goes back to the tricolor screen again
I waited for the prompt that I need to push the Power Button but it never came, so I soft reset it and tried it again but the same all over again.
The ROM I was trying to flash is the AT&T stripped ROM, I read it here that it's better to flash a stock ROM first before flashing/upgrading to a cooked ROM.
By the way I just found out that my X01HT isn't a Softbank, it's a DoCoMo.
Is my phone upgradeable?
Can someone please tell me what I missed?....I really want to upgrade my phone without bricking it.
Thanks!

What format is your SD card? Fat or Fat32?
Its gota be Fat32 to flash from it.
it's all good now....
I've given up flashing my phone from the sd card so I decided to flash it with my laptop instead. Luckily it worked without a hitch.
I'm so loving my phone now, been playing with it for 2 hours and the usual hang ups I got before are non-existing anymore.
To use the sd card method you need to check that the .nbh file is hermimg.nbh, NOT herming.nbh as you had written on your previous post.
The holy trinity of sd card flashing, Formated FAT32, Named hermimg.nbh & sd card is 2Gb or less...
Cheers...
I see.....
ok hermimg.nbh
will try this again, maybe next week since I'm enjoying my new ROM right now.
Thanks ultramag69!

Procedure (Sorry, I just don't want a brick)

Okay, so today I purchased a Hermes. While it'll take a while for it to arrive, I want to be prepared. And I certainly don't want a brick. So I'm pretty paranoid. That's why I'm asking, is the following procedure correct? (It's basically what I found here)
Download HardSPL
Download the ROM
If I have HardSPL (which I doubt), skip step 4
Install HardSPL
Sync and connect (with USB-cable) using WMDC*
When sync is finished, run RUUWrapper.exe
Follow the instructions (accept, next, accept, next, update)
Flash
Sync and connect (with USB-cable) using WMDC*
When sync is finished, run RUUWrapper.exe, the one shipped with the ROM
Click AutoDetect
Follow the instructions (accept, next, accept, next, update)
"Enjoy my updated device"
Download and install the .cab-files provided by Torben here. (Or should I change the registry?)
*I've read that there are some problems when syncing with Vista (which I, against my will, is stuck with), is this still present when using WMDC instead of ActiveSync?
Thank you for taking time helping a confused noob!
Mate, if you have a problem with using the PC, use the SD card method (must have Hard SPL V& installed - SPL - 2.10oli). To install Hard SPL using the Sd card method, go to page 116, post 1160 on the Hard SPL thread. It has links and the method to install hard SPL using the sd card method.
For ROM's use this method -
1. Format sd card (2Gb or less) FAT32.
2. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want onto sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh .Insert back into Hermes.
3 Put Hermes into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold ALL buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. If you have done everything right, follow the prompts.

But then I would have to buy an extra memorycard for the outragous prices of $7. But, I suppose I'll have to... Thanks for your reply!
Horrors......
Okay, I read the post. Very good! Just to make sure, I should not copy the RUUWrapper bundled with HardSPL? I add SSPL_HERM.exe and HERMIMG.nbh to the root of the newly formatted (FAT32) SD-card (not SDHC), run SPPL_HERM.exe from the phone, press the powerbutton when instructed to (to flash) and then reset the device somehow, once it's done. After that, follow the instructions here (phone connected to charger since it takes 30 min) and then all be fine?
(Yepp, I'm a pretty paranoid creature)
I just thought I'd reply to this message because I'm about to flash a custom Rom to a new iMate Jasjam and that my user id is errily similar to yours
I've used a 2GB Micro SD card to flash my last ROM upgrade (thanks to CRCinAU) and it worked a treat.
Cheers!
Oggy.
On my device (MDA Vario II) it stops at the bootloader screen (tricolor), and nothing happens.... but my device is not bricked, if i call softreset everything works, but i need hard spl to use an unlocker .... (which is also not working right now)
Did you run sspl.exe from the phone first?
You need to run this as it puts Soft SPL on so you can flash Hard SPL BUT you need to run it from the Hermes and not the sd card.
To get out of bootloader just reset with stylus.]
Also check that the sd card (2Gb or less) is formatted FAT32, comes formatted FAT by default.
Make sure you have renamed .nbh file to hermimg.nbh. Spelling matters...
Cheers...
jep done as instructed, still the same problem
What happens if it's not formatted FAT by default? If I can format a card as FAT32 but wasn't FAT originally, would it possibly brick it? (Not doing it (hopefully), just curious)
okay got it, cards broken, i think, used a new one
Doesn't matter if it was originally FAT32, most sd cards come formatted FAT by default, it has to be FAT32 or the flash WON"T work...
