Damaged Extended ROM - no boot - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Tried the last build of SK Tools to benchmark unlocked Extended ROM. It hung in the middle. After soft reset, the phone hung on the HTC splash screen, WM splash will not show up. Hard reset restored phone boot, but unlocking the Extended ROM leaded to the same hang.
I've downloaded a version of my ROM, and, using the tools and instructions from Wiki, extracted extended ROM nb, and created an NBH containing only Extended ROM. Flashed it using SSPL from MicroSD. Then restored the latest backup and the phone is up and running again!
All was done using Windows 98SE computer, so no ActiveSync working.
So, this is one more reason why phone may hang on HTC boot screen that is not in the Wiki.
I just wonder what does the number (700 to replace 900) in the text file to pass to nbhgen mean, but it work.

I had a similar thing, the phone hung whilst writing something to extended ROM. It would then not go past the HTC splash. Like you, i got a bit nervous when i realised this wasnt addressed in the wiki!
I took a slightly different approach, using mtty.exe and 1.01mfg bootloader to flash a new extended rom to the appropriate address. Let out a real cheer when i saw the windows mobile splash appear!

Could one of you add this to the wiki perhaps?

Header type for ExtROM inside NBH file is 0x700 for Hermes, 0x900 for Trinity.

Would love to contribute!
But which section? This isnt an upgrading problem per-se... its more to do with writing to the Extended Rom and dramas which arose because the phone hung whilst doing so.

That section could be renamed to something more generic, although I'm not sure that's a good idea. For now, you could just add it in there, it's possible to come up with a reason for it being an "upgrade"

OK, ive put it on the problems page, under "other problems".
Have never edited a Wiki before, please feel free to dress it up a little (i.e. i dont know how to turn words into links to other wiki pages, nor do i understand how formatting works etc etc).
Cheers
Martin

I fixed it up a bit; thanks for the writeup!

HArd SPL V6 Issues

Hey, first post here. I've tried searching for people with similar issues but I couldn't find anyone. I got my Cingular 8525 yesterday and I am trying to upgrade to WM6. I followed the guide on flashing it to Hard SPL v6, since I have SPL- 1.06 and I can't seem to get past the screen where I have to choose which bootloader version I have. Mine is not listed on there, and it won't even let me choose some of the other options. I can only check "Is this Hard-SPL?" and the "Force Ussing SPL" option. I thought about upgrading to SPL1.04 then to 1.4, but I am not sure as I don't want to brick my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks. Sorry if this has been covered once again, but Ive been looking for about 2 days and can't seem to find it.
Here is part of a guide written by Mrvanx. Following the guide is highly recommended. You should use the sspl option. It will load SSPL by Des which will in turn load Hard SPL V6 to your device. Good luck flashing!
The autodetect button didn't work for you??? You should be able to use the Force option to upgrade to oli's SPL and you should have no problem. If you're unsure, follow this guide: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/HardSPL.html
Also, there's lots of great info here in general: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/
Thank you. The version I was looking at www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/black/HardSPL.html
told me something else. Thanks for your input. I'll flash it right away.

good stuff....what flavour of WM6 and which radio??
Newest Radio 138.00.10.. and of course I had to go with Black 2.0... Just the issue on roaming right now... came across it on here before, so i'll figure it out...
Okay.. well now I that it's all flashed i connected to the internet, but i can't send MMS. I tried putting back the factory settings listed here
https://www.cingular.com/support/setupOTW.do
but Black 2.0 doesn't seem to have a media net button and it won't send any mms.. any suggestions. I think I might have to downgrade back to WM5 get used to it and then possible come back to WM6... thanks.

Forget the settings on cingulars website, they assume you are running a cingular rom.
Search the wiki page and there will be a .cab file to install the settings.
Either that or enter them manually. There are plenty of users running Black 2.0 on cingular

Custom Boot Splash For Titan's

I need help packing a custom made splash.nb into a NBH file.
Now i found this HTC Rom tool that can supposedly do this for me, but i haven't figured out how, and i only found it in the kaiser section of the forums, so I'm not even sure if it'll work for my titan.
I included the splash.nb, in case there's someone out there that can do it for me, and/or tell me how to do it.
*NEW* i also included the Tool required to convert images to splash.nb files.
Everyone start showing your good work
I also included a preview picture
Here you go. Just unzip and run the file. Will cause a hard reset though fyi, but there's no getting around that.
Oh and P.S. You didn't attach the splash.nb, so I just did it all from scratch.

Thanks for this, I grabbed it myself.
Out of curiosity, how did you create this package? PPCgeeks kitchen?
No, it takes way too much time to use PPCGeeks Kitchen just to create a simple bootsplash rom.
If more people are interested, I can write up a little wiki with instructions on how to create your own bootsplash rom. Once you master it, it takes literally 1 minute to make, and less than that to flash.

No offence DCD, I love your ROMs...
Right click save as welcomehead.96.png
Be carefull when using this - each time I've done it, after the hard reset, I couldn't make or receive phone calls until I went and changed the MSID. I've changed the bootsplash three times, and each time, after the hard reset, the MSID was altered slightly - always only 1 digit was off. The first time it happened, it took me a significant amount of time to figure out what had happened. I reloaded the base rom, etc. All that was needed though was to fix the MSID.

That's weird...never has happened to me. You are aware that you can avoid the hard reset by renaming the splash nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh and flash from microsd card right?
How would I add a boot splash if I didn't include one when I created my ROM from dcd's 3.2.0 kitchen?
I am sure there is a registry setting, but not sure how to find it.

[Update 6/16] Titan Bootsplash Cooking Tutorial - WIKI

Updated 6/16/08:
-Created bootsplash kitchen along with instructions.
-Included information about flashing via microsd card.
Little background on Titan boot sequence for those who don't know exactly what this kitchen/tutorial does:
Many confuse the term "ROM" with the OS ROM. The term "ROM" has been used so often in conjunction with the OS ROM, that it's become jargon. When one refers to the "ROM" he/she usually is referring to the OS ROM. The ROM is the read only memory that can only be altered with a firmware flash. In actuality, there are 5 parts that make up the total ROM.
1. SPL - Bootloader
2. Radio - GSM or CDMA radio
3. First Splash - Splash screen that shows Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions.
4. Second Splash - Splash screen after the Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions disappear.
5. OS - The OS, a.k.a. what you flash when you cook a rom with dcd's kitchen etc.
This is how we're able to flash the bootloader, radio, OS etc. separately. You notice this more when you flash with the microsd card. When the bootloader loads and checks the image, it tells you exactly what part of the ROM it is. If you're flashing the OS, it says OS. If you're flashing the radio, it says CDMA (type of radio the Titan uses).
The Titan has either 3 or 4 boot splashes depending on whether or not you use a startup animation. The first 2 are part of the ROM. The 3rd and 4th are the startup animation (if included as part of OS ROM) and the welcomehead splash (Windows Mobile splash, which can easily be changed without flashing anything by copying/pasting your image of choice named welcomehead.96.png to \Windows on your phone).
This kitchen cooks the First and Second Splashes of the ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanBootsplashTutorial
Enjoy!
Awesome - Thanks GC!!
Nice. Will try later on.
"Below is a guide to cook a tiny ROM which will only flash your bootscreens. Flashing it will cause a hard reset, but will leave your current ROM intact."
So people would read!
Hey GC - This is the same error I got the last time I tried to use this tool.... Hae you seen this, and what does it mean??? I clicked on the nb_image_converter.exe and then these 2 boxes popup.....
Helpppppppp.....

Whoa wtf... this program has NOTHING to do with BuildOS. Do you have PPCGeeks BuildOS installed or something?
Yes, but why would it look for that?? This program is a simple executable??
No idea... try to completely uninstall PPCGeeks and see if it still pops up.
Thats the damdest thing..... Uninstalling the ppckitchen and the nb tool runs FINE.....

Haha, well no real reason to have it now anyway right?
You testing this out? If so let me know how the tutorial was and post up your bootsplash!
That goes for everyone, I'd like to get some feedback on how it goes. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you master it, it takes like a minute tops...screw using ppcgeeks kitchen for this.
Also, if you'd like to share your bootsplash, post it up!

Ok - Works great.... I did however make a batch file so that it's just easier to click on it instead of using a DOS box, lots of people may have an issue finding the folder they saved the images in, and it autostarts Duttys.... I can AIM it too you GC....
Here's my screen.....
GC14, was just wondering... You say that there is no way around the hard reset. Well if i remember correctly, quite a wails back, in the 3.27 Leaked ROM era, when i would flash my mogul with the leaked ROM, was the first time i got that annoying "Test purpose only" Boot screen flash.
Well my attempt to change it was to use the official Rom before this, by doing the SD card method, and only wait for it to say Finish flashing bootscreen, and i would reset the device immediately, to prevent any corruption.
This method indeed changed my boot screen splash, and nothing else, and it didn't hard reset anything.
So shouldn't anyone be able to just place the .nbh file into a SD card, and let it just flash the boot screen that way?
I'm only saying.. i actually haven't tried it, since i did it the long way anyway.

I've never tried it. I simply said there's no way around the hard reset if you use the RUU. First and foremost, if people are going to try it, they have to rename RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh. If you want to try it and let me know, go for it.
Thanks gc14 (aka gcincotta ) for the tutorial. Worked great...now to play with some different splash screens!
Just to be clear this will hard reset the phone but will not erase the ROM. This means all contacts, programs, settings, etc... will be left intact?
great tutorial! worked like a champ! Thanks!

Does the microsd flash have the same issue as others where it has to be a smaller card? Sorry for not being more specific. I haven't looked too much into that issue as I don't have a smaller card, I'm a 4gb microsd.

Flashing via the microsd card is the same whether flashing rom, radio, or bootsplashes. Non microsdhc card, formatted to FAT32, with cluster size less than 4k.
Which splash screen is this? The Windows one or the (on DCD Verizon) the white verizon screen?

http://giesecke.tk:8090/privat/topaz_rom/index.php?dir=Cooked_ROMs/WM+6.5/Aman/&download=RUU.rar
Are u kidding me? Really stock rom with WM6.5? Have u already tried it???
Cant believe its true!!!!!
OMG
i cant belive it
Can someone post mirror please...Rapidshare maybe
what is the source of this rom?
Is this the official 6.5 release..? Could you comment on the source of this..?
Dont download it semi bricks the Topaz - Shadowline said in xda-devs irc
After trying to flash, it sticks at 99% and then dies after a few min. Which causes the phone to only start back into tri color bootloader with errors and no longer boot WM. Luckily flashing another rom is still possible.
Use caution when testing this rom. It may be just an isolated event or something more serious.
On another note, the next roms that I flash now say "Test rom only Not For sale" lol
im flashing now, lets se what hapends
Seemse genuine enough, but I wont know until im done flashing (5 min!)
Thx for your post shadowline, it was a few seconds before I wanted to start flashing
However, if someone wants to test it, here's the mirror:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249662958/RUU_Topaz_WM65_HTC_WWE_2.01.405.exe
yupp, hangs at 99% for me to.. Well.
Thanks for the update.. I was just about to do my first flash of my 1 week old Topaz! I will wait. Just wonder why the the thread starter is quiet and gave little information at the opening post!?
Plz be carefull with this!!!!!
Downloaded twice the file.
Flashed 4 times, with NO success!!!!
1. Flashed with the original exe, the progressbar stuck at 99%, terminate with "Connection Error"
2. Extracted the .exe in separate folder and flashed again, same, progressbar stuck at 99%
3. Replaced the original RUU with that one what comes with all the cooked ROMs, again stuck at 99%
4. Extracted the secon download,flashed without success!!! Stuck at 99%
At least, flashed again with NTGZ28 Standard ROM and all is OK, no damage done to the device.
Any hope that our ROM Cooks solve that problem, if that is really a HTC WM 6.5 ROM???????
Update: this rom stopped at 99% (useing windows RUU), and when soft-reset it only shows color bars but will still be flashable with TOPAIMG.nbh on SD card *pooh*
So im flashing back EnergyRom now. Thank good for (mostly) failsafe flashing!
Do you or anyone that flashed (i use that term lightly lol) have that text about a test rom when you boot your device?
yes i have, red text on bootscreen. What's that about?
i've faced same problem as all of you. but i successfully managed to flash the OS part only. the red 'test only' text seems to be from the splash screen.
damn, I was sooo going to flash that!

[SOLVED] Stuck at bootloader with SPL 3.03 (Need French Orange HD2 ROM)

Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL
I am stuck with the same thing.
If i could only geat a new HSPL for spl 3.03.0000

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...
i tried to decrypt it for finding information about my model, but the only information i can get is the day of production by the first few numbers and letters :/

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

that´s exactly where my problem is...
my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...
i tried to decrypt it for finding information about my model, but the only information i can get is the day of production by the first few numbers and letters :/

Use SSPL and it will install your Custom or Stock ROM without any problem.
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=260802&d=1261873816

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:

Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.

Downloading ...
looks like I am also stuck on bootloader with SPl 3.03,nothing I did helped so far,I had HSPL3,my stock Rom was 166.707.
any help is greatly appreciated.
OlDirty89 said:
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
