Device keeps rebooting after flash. - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

New thread. I'm sure the answer is out there buried in the 68+ pages on the ROM flashes...
I flashed with the current
Titan Unlocker,
It then resets into the rainbow screen.
The HARD_SPL wouldn't flash
so I went to the dcd_titan_2.1.0_vzw.exe and flashed that.
Then I upgraded the radio to the current version titan_radio_3.27.00.exe
My device gets all the way to the OS and is fine... As long as it is hooked to the USB.
If I unplug it, the device starts rebooting itself.
when i get the OS up should I try and install the HARD_SPL?
Directions for updating the flash and ROM and getting GPS enabled are scattered about 10 threads over 2 sites. It's confusing even for experienced users.

I remember reading that someone had a similar experience. They said the problem was caused by not using the unlocker. When you flashed the new 2.40 unlocker, did it run a batch file (did the command window come up), or did you just flash a .nbh file to the device? The batch file is the right way to go, and at least one of the new unlocker versions is an executable file that runs the batch file for you. That's the way to go.
You can put the device into bootloader mode by holding down the power & camera buttons and then resetting w/ stylus. Then connect via USB and try to flash the new bootloader again.

problem is that you need to flash the unlocker, which it sounds like you haven't done.
there is a Titanunlocker.bat file that you have to run and follow all the directions carefully! Once that is done you'll have the new hard SPL and the reboots will cease. I had the same prob, and yes the answer was in the 68+ pages... but now you and others don't have to search for it.
THE KEY IS TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN YOU RUN THE titanunlocker.bat FILE! YOU CAN'T JUST FLASH IT COLD LIKE YOU CAN A ROM!

I had EXACTLY the same issue you're having right now.
I cannot recall exactly which thread it was, but I found a different HardSPL flash from PPCGeek forum. (they're samething, just differently packaged)
When I used that, flash went through without any problem. Try search for the PPCGeek forum.
And good luck.

installing the newest unlocker worked for me as well. weird thing is it would only reset once i unplugged the usb cable <shrug>.
Oh well its been up for 10 min now ....unplugged that is.
Thanks to everyone for helping out.
btw, the recent unlocker is listed right there in the stickies. However do not grab the one from "flashing for dummies". that is the 1.20

Have you tried this yet? [solution] G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked G4 [UPDATED]
You should be able to use SoftSPL with Vista without much of a problem HOWEVER, it is reccomended you use a computer with XP because should the update fail, Vista cannot communicate with the phone in tri-color mode(bootloader).
it says
it says will not work on vista...
I do not know what ancient version of shelltools you use or what strange ROM you try to flash... I used shelltools multiple times without problems (faria real thing, crossbow reloaded, pandora. xda mobile, wrcx. tnt and others, sometimes in several versions). All these were custom WM6 ROMs.
Mirek
yea
i have been using shell tool for the pass couple of months im tired of the precautions taken with it and if gives you headaches when you reflash
I do this when using shelltools:
1. I flash my provider's ROM
2. I use the CAB files acccompanying shelltools (cert...cab, enablerapi.cab)
3. I restart Wizard
4. Again point 2.
5. I flash the ROM I want with shelltools
6. If the ST do not end, I cut it after 30 minutes (all will be ok)
If anything goes wrong (it happened only once) I flash my providrer's ROM and repeat.
As far as I understand it is *impossible* to brick the Wizard with shelltools. So complete safety.
Mirek
i tried shelltool on a xp machine and im still getting custom rom error any help will be appreciated please
No idea. Maybe try to get another version of shelltools... Maybe the one you use is wrong...
And what ROM do you try to flash?
Mirek
after ur post i downloaded shell tool from another location and im still getting the same comment i even tried another rom "wizard love "
The picture is ok, I guess you misunderstood how the ST works...
a) Press "Extract OS".
b) After the OS is extracted, the button "Flash OS" will be allowed. Press it.
c) Then it will flash.
Mirek
mirekluza thanks alot man im officially now on WM6 "tnt 5 "
NOTE : for every one using windows VISTA when u click flash OS the app will be "waiting for response " Don`t panic just wait for 45 min and unplug the usb and make a hard reset it will work fine after the rest
theres many roms you can flash...all you have to do is just be patient and not to get eiger while flashing alot of people misunderstand when you enableRapi Reboot your Phone.
i just flashed a new rom just follow the basic intructions given plz dont leave the detail parts out
Using Shelltool on Vista
As mentioned previously, when you run Shelltool on Vista it generally won't ever return and tell you it's finished! However, you can actually tell when it's done for sure, rather than just waiting a certain amount of time.
When you're ready to start Shelltool, that is, you've enabled RAPI, rebooted your Wizard, and connected it to your system, open File Explorer on your desktop at the top level ("Computer") and open Pocket_PC (or whatever you've named your Wizard). Go to the root folder of the Wizard and just leave the Explorer window open. (Note: you have to have the explorer window open BEFORE you start to flash, or you won't be able to open your Pocket_PC folders.)
Start Shelltool as instructed and start the flash process. Now go back to the explorer window and refresh it. You'll see a file called "itsutils.log" in the top level folder of the Wizard. Open the file, and you'll see the detailed logging of each block that Shelltool writes. The logging for each block is five or six lines long (I don't have an example right now.) Regardless, the OS is 0x38e0000 (hexadecimal) blocks long. When the log file reaches block 38e0000 it starts spewing error messages with that block number over and over again. (Note: you have to close the file and reopen it to get it to update. So, it it's not yet reached block 38e0000, just close it and wait a little longer.)
When it starts doing that, the flashing process is done!
It seems that, at least on Vista, Shelltool is not looking for the end of the data file correctly, so it tries to write block 38e0000 over and over again, but, since there is no block 38e0000, it just logs an error message.
At this point, if you disconnect the USB cable, Shelltool will THEN issue an "end" message. Hard reset as instructed.
I should point out that one of the problems with Shelltool is that you can ONLY flash the OS, not the extended ROM, radio, splash screen, etc. That makes it sorta limiting.

Bricked Mogul?

I think my Mogul is bricked after trying the ROM update; after about 7% update Vista kicked off the USB connection and I'm left with a tri-color screen. When I try to reinstall the ROM I get an Error 328 message - Invalid Command. Any help? Thanks!
Definitely not bricked if you can get to the tricolor screen.. which rom exactly were you flashing and what have you flashed so far (unlocker, etc)?
Have you tried updating from the microsd card? That solved a similar problem for me.

What steps have you taken so far? That might help others figure out your problem(I would help but I'm leaving my computer right now)
Just tried to re-cradle and reinstall the update - ROM 3.35.651.2 from HTC's website, and I get the message Invalid Command and it stops the update. Can I run this from the MicroSD card as suggested? Any help very much appreciated!
I have no access to anything on the phone BTW - just the screen and nothing else. The screen has four horizontal stripes - Red, Green, Blue and White. In the red stripe it says TITA100 MFG, SPL-2.03.1000, CPLD-9, and at the top of the screen RUUNBH....
Run Olipros 2.40 bootloader. Than, go back and flash the 3.35. I'm pretty sure you need the 2.40 to load the new ROMs. Yes, just run Olipro's 2.40 while you are in the tri-color screen. Also, make sure you have more than 50% battery life left.
Where do I get the bootloader and how do I run it? Sorry to sound dense, but this is new to me. I have the concept of running the bootload mode - Camera, Power, Reset, so I assume some software needs to be loaded on the MicroSD card? Thanks!
You know, it's fine if you're new to this....everyone starts somewhere...and it's good to see new faces in the community...
But what I don't get is why people insist on just flashing right away without reading and researching. Then they make posts about thinking their phone is bricked, not even knowing what a bootloader is.
My advice before you do anything else is to take an hour and read. Read about how to flash, read about bootloaders, read everything you can find about updating your phone. Then, try and fix your bootloader.
Your phone isn't bricked. A brick is just that, a brick. NOTHING works, not the bootloader, not the buttons, nothing.

i second this emotion
Actually, although I'm new to this forum I'm not new to computers. I'm not as familiar with the inner workings of a handheld. I assume a bootloader is the software necessary to run the ROM flash from the SD card; when I run in bootloader mode, I do get a very brief "image not found", so I assume it's looking for the ROM image on the card. And I'm tracking down Olipros stuff right now through the forums, as well as the recommended reading. With a little written direction I think I can "unbrick" this phone. I did successfully flash another Mogul from a different computer, so assumed it would be as smooth; guess not. For those with the expertise, I certainly appreciate the advice and patience to teach a novice...
Once you find the required bootloader program, just run it as if you are flashing a ROM. Once you get "Olipro 2.40" on your tri-color screen, you'll know that your getting somewhere. But yes search and search and read. I also downloaded everything I think I would need also, just in case.
OK - so far 've tried running the Olipro Bootloader 2.40, but I get "device not connected." Perhaps I should mention I'm running Vista Home Premium, so no ActiveSynch; my PC has Mobile Device Center. I hear the little chime when I connect the Mogul, but the Olipro software doesn't recognize a connection....
I have done all of my flashes on my Vista Home Premium laptop. Make sure you uncheck "allow USB connection" on WMDC. Also, after every failed attempt, take the battery out of your phone for 3 seconds and then reinstall.
Did you mean check "allow USB connections"? WMDC is attempting to connect, but always fails. I was assuming because it doesn't recognize the PDA...
no he meant uncheck....READ!!
start here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9927
Thanks; I have an XP machine I'll try; jacking with the WMDC drivers in Vista would take more time than its worth...
Actually Vista should automatically find and install the required drivers for you. It shouldn't take long. It's well worth the time considering what you are getting yourself into.
First, thanks for the assistance all. Status to date: I have connected to my XP machine and still can't connect the Mogul to ActiveSynch. ActiveSynch won't recognize the device in its current state. I've tried running the bootloader program both with the "USB Connection" option in ActiveSynch on and off; when I run the bootloader I get a popup window that says "No device connected", and a query "Would you like to try copying again?" with button options "Yes", "No" or "Cancel." Clicking "Yes" gives me the same popup. Clicking "No" lets the loader proceed, but has no effect on the Mogul except ultimately it brings up a screen showing the percentage complete which remains at 0, and on the PC it brings up the Recovery screens for the ROM update, which have no effect on the Mogul because I assume no connection has been made. I'm obviously misinterpreting some of the steps?
Any way to run the loader from the MicroSD card? I think someone mentioned it before?
Sounds like you still didnt get Olipro 2.40 into your machine, right?
When you boot it (press camera+power+soft reset) which bootloader do you get showing?
If its 1.06 or something like that you need to flash a (manufacturer) stock rom.
If its 1.20 Olipro then you need to flash a customized pre-3.16 rom. (if you need one pm me and I will give you a link to a clean one for your carrier)
Either way you need to get the rom file called xxxx.nbh. Rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Place that file into the root of a FAT32 formatted sd card. Inster it into your sd card slot and power down and power up the titan. It will automagically read the rom from the card and flash it for you. Same goes for radio nbh files

My Nike is breaked

After one hard-reset the phone is break but I can put the phone on 3 color mode. My questium is:
- Can I do a Hard-SPL and after flash the PDA with one ROM in this case?
Hi viperbruno,
as i also quickly managed to stuck my phone in the bootloader mode when i first time wanted to update a custom ROM, after searching in the forums i got the right solution...
but, hopefully it helps, here are the steps i made:
First, download MTTY from http://taeguk.co.uk/xda/
run MTTY (set port: USB and baut rate to 115200) and then connect to your phone.
in the command line interface there type "BOOT" (without the quote marks),
your phone should then boot the ROM currently installed.
then, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 ,
download "sspl-1.16-nike.zip", extract the file to your phone/memory card and
run it FROM the phone, you will then get into the bootloader mode again with "Jump-SPL" - now you can flash HardSPL (i used the HardSPL 1.22).
After installing, the device reboots and you again get in bootloader mode,
although this time you have HardSPL on your device - now you can flash a custom ROM of your choice, you find many in here ;-)
PS: this worked for me, absolutely NO guarantee that this will work on your device too.
hi viper ..is this method working? just in case my device in trouble sometime ...
yes this works. Thanks for all. Im very apresiated.
P.S: Now i writing with my Nike, amasing

HD2 Bricked Unable to Flash

I got a friends hd2 several days ago and it was stuck on the White splash screen and wouldn't go further.
I tried Hard reset with keys and it didn't helped to get past that screen.
So i decided to flash a new ROM.
First I installed 1.42.HSPL on it to make myself safe and tried to install WWE version but failed at 9 %.
After this i tried near all the steps from another thread on the forum, the one of italian guy who tried almost everything.
Strange thing is that after trying several roms and failing all the times at 9 %, the phone once booted into windows, and i got this information from it:
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
G 15.28.50.07U
Rom 1.48.406.1 (71294) FRE
But after powering it off it didn't boot up another time.
Also there was a small damage on one of the battery pins but I think i managed to get it soldered from outside with soldering iron.
I also tried with MTTY and it didn't work either.
I got the official rom 1.48.406.1 FRE (because this phone is from swiss operator in french language) but it doesn't flash it goes to 9 % and gives error 290.
Ok, i started the thread because I actually wante to ask the question, why i'm unable to get into the Flash process from SD Card.
I formatted SD and copied the LEOIMG.nbh from official ROM and other ROM's too but when i press Reset and hold volume Down key sometimes nothing happens screen is black, sometimes im going into Bootloader with Serial shown and this text:
"Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again" and in the top right corner its written RUUNBH.
Anyone has any idea what could be problem of this device?
Btw I own LEO too and i never faced any problem till now, it was originally in German Language and i flashed it to WWE and didn't get any problems like this one.

Not sure if this is the problem, but what size is your SD card? I've heard, that sometimes is impossible to flash from larger cards, safest way is to use cards up to 2GB...

Friend, try to flash hspl 2.08 !!
Most likely that is the problem.
Enter the bootloader and connect it via usb to your usb and install 2.08 hspl (search fo it on xda developer forum)
Before instaling it read the instruction so that you know that hspl 2.08 can be installed over the old version of hspl that you installed!!
Oh and update radio to atleast 2.07
2.14 is very good
PS
Did you perform task29 before flashing?

I guess I should try to install 2.08 HSPL, do you think i can use the same HSPL installer and just install 2.08 hspl from it? Because i already tried 1.66.HSPL but didn't worked.
And yes i performed task29 two or three times it finishes with some known output message which is stated on the original MTTY thread to be ignored.
Any other ideas?

you have to flash the HSPL back to 1.42 0000 ,then update the HSPL to 2.08 HSPL directly. if you flash it from 1.66. it can not work..pls be noted. good luck to you .hope you leo can be used again.

Ok I installed 2.08.HSPL from 1.42.HSPL and it went successfully, now i see 2.08.HSPL on bootloader but it still fails to update ROM. Stops at 8 % on the phone with rectangle mark, and on the pc it stops at 9 %.
I get Error 290 - Unknown Command
But why i cant go into sd card flash screen when i press reset and volume down ?
I just used another 2 gb microSD and added LEOIMG.nbh from official FRE ROM and it doesnt work.
Hey bud,
I was having the same problem: the flashing didn't want to start by doing a reset+vol.down. I somehow got around this by putting the leoimg.nbh on my mircoSD card, and then started the flashing from my computer by running the .exe that contains the RUU (for ActiveSync flashing). This "magically" triggered the flashing from the mircoSD card (it showed me a screen whether i wanted to update leoimg.nbh). On this screen, pressing vol.down would start the flashing through ActiveSync, and pressing the power button would start the flashing from leoimg.nbh from your microSD card. In the last case, the update on your computer will stall at 0%, this is just because you're not running the update from your computer, but from your phone. On your computer it will time-out, but the update on your phone will continue!
I hope this works! But you're doing this on your own responsibility ;p

Hmmm this kinda messed me up.
What EXE file you run on the pc so it triggered update from SD ?
Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).
So i would say maby you just got it somehow with key kombination, because it would be impossible to run it the way you say. Or maby i'm wrong.
Could you be more specific about how you exactly run that process?
Thanks for your kind help. Gjizaqin
Well, whatever ROM you want to flash,
when you download this ROM, the .nbh file is packed in a .exe file.
You transfer the .nbh file to your microSD (rename to leoimg.nbh), and you can run the .exe file to flash through ActiveSync.

For me it was possible: reset your phone with the volume button down, to get to the tri-color screen. It shows "serial" on it. When you then connect your phone using your USB cable, it should switch to "USB", after which you can run the ActiveSync flashing.

Whell, by doing this procedure your doing normal ROM Update, and it's not doing update from sd card.
Anyways i tried this way too but not successful, its stuck on 8 % and stay's that way for about 3 minutes, than it gives me error 362 on the loader.
Anyways thanks for your help mate.
Anyone with experience can give me advice what to do with this phone?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, tried all sorts with no luck. Can't get SD card install to work either.
Oh this sounds fun, I can no longer run active syn with my leo, the computer reports that my "usb device is not functioning properly"
I have re downloaded sync, try as I might I cant it back up and running, I wish everyone else the best of luck
This might be just a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how it is possible that some SD cards are good for flashing ROM's and other (mostly the larger) aren't?
Do you also need to copy the folder "program files" from the SD card you've flashed the ROM with to the other SD card, when you'd like to use this for your device?

There has been reported problems with some 16GBmSD cards when it comes to flashing from them.
The only thing you need on the mSD card is the LEOIMG.nbh file.

If you boot up your phone to Bootloader mode (but not connected to the computer), the bottom of the screen reads 'Serial'. If you now plug it into the computer, does it change to 'USB'?
Your computer error message is just saying that the computer cannot install a driver to communicate properly with your phone. Since your phone isn't fully loaded into WinMo then your computer isn't going to recognise it as a WinMo device. So don't worry about that message.

[Q] Please help - Vital mistake made while flashing rom

Good evening all!
It seems that I may have made a mistake! Either that or my mind is to tired to think strait! Please help!
Firstly, after having several successful attempts at flashing custom roms/radios and experimenting with my device, I thought I had finally found the ROM of choice! Here's what I have done: performed a task29 run to clean up any straggling files ... normal process right!? No! I forgot the most important step to the process before totally wiping all information off my phone. I formatted my SD card without adding any type of rom to my device before running task29. I've tried running the customRUU tool from my PC and have had zero luck. My phone attempts to boot with none of the red text in the loading screen and just hangs. I can enter the bootloader screen but I still have zero luck on getting anything to work from the customruu tool.
Any information that anyone could willing provide would be greatly apprecaited!! I apologies for wasting anyones time!
Thanks in advance,
Braizy <<<< (Noob!)

I forgot the most important step to the process before totally wiping all information off my phone. I formatted my SD card without adding any type of rom to my device before running task29. I've tried running the customRUU tool from my PC and have had zero luck. My phone attempts to boot with none of the red text in the loading screen and just hangs. I can enter the bootloader screen but I still have zero luck on getting anything to work from the customruu tool.
Any information that anyone could willing provide would be greatly apprecaited!! I apologies for wasting anyones time!
Thanks in advance,

Dude, you should be able to hold down the volume down button before powering on the device. You should get to the bootloader screen with no issues and be able to establish an ActiveSync <--> USB connection from there with your PC and flash using the CustomRUU.exe tool.

Next time use FlashaholicRUU as it will perform task29+flash the ROM.. (won't let you proceed if you don't include an .nbh)

That's what I thought as well ... I have my device connected via USB, looking at the bootloader screen as we speak and it's still not showing my anything under ActiveSync. I've tried installing a different Radio as well, still no change.
Here's exactly what I'm looking at on the bootloader screen:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0X50
USB
That's it! I can attempt to boot normal as if I were just powering on the device and I get the white "stick together" t-mobile splash screen.

I tried using FlashaholicRUU just now. I was able to perform the task29 process successfully, I held the volume down button at 100% and let the phone enter into the bootloader screen. I then continue with the on screen prompts from PC to start the ROM update process ... only for the update utility to tell me;
ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN The Update Utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update Utility.

Update:
I was finally able to get it flashed and operational. I found a ROM that had a customRUU packaged with the download and a good radio. I used the Utility in the package and all is working now. Not to pleased with the ROM but it's only temporary. Thanks a bunch for everyone's help and input.
Excuse me while I wipe the sweat from my forehead!
