Hi guys,
I have a XDA2 with 'write protected' ext rom. I read here that after cooking a ext rom i have to flash it in using HimaUpgradeUt without the nk and radio.
I tried it but after flash complete successfully, i ended up with a dead XDA2 that shows only serial/usb v1.03 :shock:
Eventually i recovered my XDA2 by flashing everything (nk, radio, ms) all over again.
Has anyone seen such a problem before ?
Regards.

I got a wrong step in upgrading the Radio Rom.Now,my machine is hang and can not load the CE normal.I thing I should flash the radio rom by SDcard ti save it,someone can make a backup of the radio by SDcard,and send the image file to me?
There are no radio ROMs available to flash via SD. I think you have the problem, taht you Radio Stack is empty. You just can tryinstalling the 3.17.03 ROM on your device and then try upgrading Radioversion.
This process is described here:

hey
i have tytn with spl 1.04,rom 1.18 and radio pof's 1.16 ,supercid
tried to upgrade main rom a few times with different roms
the process completes successfully but afterwards the tytn just stays on the htc logo and doesn't boot up windows
the only way i can bring it back is by flashing to htc 1.18 rom through bootloader
any ideas what's wrong?
radio only upgrade works perfectly btw
can you post output of these bootloader commands?
task 32
info 2
info 7
info 8

You can also try flashing from SD card, see the wiki.
before or after upgrade ?
both, before and after.
errors
i got a lot of errors at the before stage
can u take a look at it before i try to upgrade again
yup! that was my fear... the new ROM fails to boot because you got bad blocks in NAND flash. Luckily it only affects the ExtROM.
anyway to fix ?
damn
tried to use the extended rom unlocker and now my device is stuck on the htc logo again
plz plz plz help
Unfortunately we don't know a method to fix bad blocks yet, you can start researching yourself. AFAIK the ExtROM is FAT16 (someone correct me if i'm wrong)... so try to find a formatting tool for that.
If you want to upgrade the ROM, I suggest you to flash 1.01-MFG bootloader and flash only OS.nb using 'lnb' command. It's explained in the wiki.
thanks
brought it back to life atm using hard reset
i'll try 1.01 upgrading
tried the upgrade through 1.01
same results
I have updated my phone x01ht WM5 to custom WM6 firmware,
before installing the wm6, i had install the Hard_SPL-V7
i wanna know, if i want to flash again to other wm5 roms, how could i do?
because when i was trying to flash the wm5 dopod rom (it loads the loader) but stop flashing, error said USB connection failed..
any advise pls reply, thanks... i am very noob at this level
Follow THIS guide. You will be able to downgrade to WM5 again but it is not as simple as running the RUU.
(pof im adding the warning dont worry)
After flashing my charmer with wm 6.1 it was stuck at the Boot Screen and my phone no longer made a hard reset as it give formatting failed error.
Then i went to download an official WM5 rom from Tmobile, then I went into bootloader and successfully flash the official ROm. But again format error
Now it just shows
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.21
I tried the prophet ROM flashing as advised somewhere else but it failed at 95% giving me invalid nbh error
In the past I had successfully solved the problem by flashing the prophet ROM but this time .......
Any complete help or specially cooked Prophet ROM for this type of recovery...
You better not to flash Prophet ROM to charmer. Charmer wiki, compatibility section

But this is for recovery puposes as described somewhere else
Nobody seems to be interested to take pains in solving my problems
I do.
You have to flash with a SDcard. Search the Propet and Wizard section to find out how it works.

Thanks Mr ChrBeck!!!
But I think that some way of downgrading the the SPL to 2.?? from the current 3.08 would allow me to install the PROPHET ROM for recovery and then it would be possible for me to upgrade to orignal WM5 ROM and then upgrade to your lovely ROM that I had before your latest upgrade.
Am I right or if not then can you give me the necessary files and instructions for the sd card recovery method.
Please help me as no one in my locality knows much about CHARMER and simply unable to help me in this aspect.
Thanks again.

I'll try to help you. In the Wizard forum there is a sticky whitch tells how to do the SDrecovery. Just search it. With the SD Card you can just fully flash a ROM. You can't downgrade anything because downgrades are looked.
If I'll find the sticky this evening I can post the link here.
Cant there be some kind of HARD SPL for this ..... charmer that would allow me to flash the prophet ROM fully. In this way I had recovered my CHARMER but I think that at that time it had lower version of IPL or SPL so the full PROPHET ROM was sucessfully installed and I was able to hard reset and flash the orignal T-Mobile ROM that I think upgraded my SPL too!!!
There is no hardSPL. Noone ever designed one. And if the Prophet trick doesn't work you can try it with a G3 Wizard ROM too. But if that doesn't help to search for the SDUpdate!
To do an SD update you must have a ROM dump on SD card from bootloader.
Method can be found here. Section 8. OS, GSM Image Reflash Procedure
Thanks for finding it for us. There was a time I read this manual completely but I don't know much of it anylonger.
Charmer needs to be CID unlocked to perform SD card flashing.
I agree. I just forgot to mention this.
Then forget it. You can't CID unlock a 2.x or 3.x. So this method is out.
How can I confirm that my charmer is CDI unlocked???
Any if this is the case then what to do with my poor CHARMER....
ANY HOPES OF ITS RECOVERY in some other manner???
Also can you post link to the wizard ROM you mentioned in your post for recovery ???
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION !!!
Well, you have a boatloader over 1.x right? If so your device can't be unlocked. But you can try to flash any WM5 ROM for Wizard. But be sure it is jast the ROM. No phone or bootloader in it.
Maybe that works.
Would you be kind enough to post a link to the proposed ROM to which I can give a try?
Is this would be possible to flash any specialiy cooked Prophet ROM only with OS as the complete Prophet ROM (with no ID RUU)gives me error at 95%.
Further isn't there a way to downgrade my spl that would allow me to flash prophet ROM that confirmly worked for me in the past.
Please help i am in great trouble.......
Dear Gentlemen,
I mad a big Mistake, I flashed my room with the Radio NBH file, My room v. 1.25 , IPL-V1.00
ATHE100, SPL-V1.07.0000. I download the new Radio 1.57 NBH file and use the ROMUpdateUtility.exe wich I got it from the Temp files came from upgrading the room to 6.5. coz I did not know how to upgrade the radio.

Sorry to hear this.
You should have read a bit more first as you would have realised that you can't flash a radio without unlocking.
Using the unlocker would have changed the SPL to 1.2 and allowed you to flash the radio.
Have you tried doing a hard reset first?
You can only flash the original branded ROM for your machine now if you can find it.
Have a look in the wiki for original shipped roms.
I have a feeling the SPL1.07 was a dutch or german ROM that is very hard to find.
Good luck
