Problem flashing - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I have flashed my device many times, and I am trying to test out no2chem's rom. I currently have flashed dcd's 6.1 rom, and whenever I run the RUU, as soon as my ppc hits the boot screen it says USB and then I get a message on my windows xp machine that the device is not recognized. Then it disconnects and I am stuck. Anyone experience this? I have rebooted, etc...many times.

Hardwaredamage trou faulty Flash possible?

Hello,
yesterday i was flashing a new rom to my prophet and for some reason i got a bluescreen while doing it. and the process stopped at 60%
after flashing again without problems i face some poblems.
sometimes it takes 1 or more softresets for the cell to find my network.
wlan ist not working at all. i can find a present network but when i try to log in i allways get the message network unaviable.
i tried to install the original o2 rom that came with my device but i have the same problems
just that it finds the wlan network and as soon as i enter the password the complete call hangs.
so now i have the shadow "my edition" 2 rom on my phone but i cant get it running it goes till "tap the screen to set up your Windows..." and then nothing happens anymore
i can not even get to the bootloader the phone just does not boot when i hold any button during boot. only thing working it hardreset but that does not change anything
before i tried to flash a new rom i was using the "my edition" 2 rom and everything was working fine but now after the crash it does not work anymore
i managed one time to get it running compleatly but wlan did show the same problems as under othe roms
could it really be that i damaged the hardware durning my abortet flash?
can anyone offer some help how to fix this?
IT seems unlikely that you have damaged the hardware, but it is possible.
Can you enter bootloader? If so, disable connect through USB in activesync, connect the device, and run a NVID AKU 2.2 WM5 ROM. See if the problems persist with this.

Phone reboots... please help

**EDIT**
Ok, I was able to load 2.4. I had my usb cable connected from my laptop to my xv6800. For some reason this prevented it from rebooting. Once I was on the today screen I ran the 2.4 update and ran smoothly. I was able to put dcd's 2.3.2 and 3.27 radio and everything is fine. I'll atempt it again after clean up the hair I just pulled out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm fairly new to this and maybe I should've waited a little bit longer before I tried dcd's 3.0 with the latest radio. Anyway here's my problem...
I can't get SPL 2.4 to load so the phone keeps rebooting. I've tried loading 2.4 through SD card and through RUU. Both times it says 100% successful but when I go into the bootloader screen on my phone it still says SPL-1.20.Olipro and phone keeps rebooting. I've tried putting vzw 2.09 rom on with an older radio and still can't get 2.4 to load or the phone to stop rebooting.
I'm on verizon.
thanks for any hlep you guys can give me.

Help!! Unusual Titan problem!!

I have spent the past week on this problem , including reading ppcgeeks & ppckitchen threads for hooouuuurrrs. And still no working phone!
What I have: ActiveSync 4.5 on an XP desktop. I successfully RUU WM6.1 onto my Alltel PPC6800, had the upgraded radio, internal GPS worked.
The problem:
From the Bootloader screen, without ActiveSync, I flash a ROM. After RUU says it was successful the Mogul resets. No LEDs light up and the screen stays off. I Hard Reset. The Green LED comes on and stays on.
I’ve removed the battery and Hard Rest and Soft Reset with the result being that just the Green LED stays on.
Whenever I use the RUU the current ROM version on the phone is not displayed. But the RUU lets me continue.
I can always get the Bootloader (tri-color) screen, which has:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
After re-flashing the stock WM 6.1 ROM, the phone gets into a reset loop with nothing displayed on the screen and the Green LED blinking.
I’ve re-flashed 2 previous Kitchen ROMs that worked originally.. No change.
I’ve removed and then reinstalled ActiveSync. Rebooted XP. Still no connection.
I’ve removed and reinstalled PPCKitchen with successful updating. Rebooted XP. No change.
I’ve tried to flash from my fats formatted 2gb SD with renaming RUU_signed.ngh to “TITAIMG.nbh” and copying it. Got the Grey screen with progress bar. Then Hard Reset. No change.
I’ve tried every combination of Soft reset, Hard reset, battery removed combination with each ROM flash.
I’ve tried the Titan Exit Bootloader exe. This was successfully executed but did not solve the problem.
I’ve tried flashing the radio but I get a Bad Command error.
Update: In an attempt to diagnose the source of the problem by eliminating my cooked ROMs as the problem, using the SD method, I Flashed third parson's cooked Alltel ROM.
By all indicators the Flash was successful. I have Hard Rest (pushing the "R" then "space bar" when told to do so) several times. (Once I removed the battery for several minutes then Hard Reset.) But I still have the same problem of after Hard Reset the Green LED stays on and the screen appears to be off.
Since I am having the same results with my cooked ROMs I believe that my Bootloadeer and ROMs are OK. (Looking for confirmation here.)
Then is the problem with the radio? Or is it a hardware problem?
Any help is appreciated!!
Maybe try updating the radio? As far as I remember there were a few radio versions that did have internal GPS enabled but are still incompatible with the latest ROMs.
What radio version are you running now?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds like you need to just flash a new radio to your phone.... I had the same problem at one time and that fixed it...
Problem solved??
Skippyd, Thanks for the suggestion!!
Interesting Update: I started to take more risks. (All flashing was done by SD method.)
I re-flashed radio 3.42.50. Although the flash was completed there was no change in results. I re-flashed both ROMs that had worked and ones that had no change. And still no change.
Then I decided to flash any ROMs made for Alltel (Titan) that I could find. (I wasn't really seeing if the ROMs had radios in them.)
I flashed nueROM_MTitan-201-201-spackr.rar which booted to the 2nd splash screen [AAAHHH!!! something different!!!] The following information also appeared on the screen:
Nuekernel 3.01
Build 109(c) 2008 No2chem
High Mem (camera disabled)
HTC
M09
B03
P=DCAAXAM 4350H
R=3.42.50
D=3.56
After resets and re-flashes of this ROM I could not get past the 2nd. Splash screen.
I next went to the link from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22132&highlight=boot+stop+splash (post # 3)
I flashed: Alltel_titan_20273_a2.rar . However, the result was the same as my original problem.
I skipped the .exe file that was in the list.
Then I flashed Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar and SUCCESS!!! It booted. (I did not install any of the CABs listed on the screen.) I can enter all of the menues. I don't know if GPS still works. The green LED flashes like it did when I could use the phone. (I can't use the phone now because I reactivated my old phone.)
I have not tried these other ROMs that are also listed:
Nex_5054_Alltel_b2.rar
Nex_5054_Alltel_spb'd.rar
Nex_Alltel_dcd_3.0.0.rar
Nex_Alltel_superBB_chick.rar
Before I do any more test-flashes, can anyone tell me:
#1) what additional information I should copy off my phone before I try these other ROMs?
#2) can anyone tell me the differences in the ROM that works and the ones that did not (so I know why Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar works)?
And #3) Does anyone have any suggestions before I proceed with testing other ROMs or try cooking my own again?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Can't flash x7501 - it always restart

Hi,
This is my problem, I have a X7501 running Windows Mobile 6.5 Cooked by MichyPrima. The current Rom I have is this; "Athena_SPL1.2_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
The problem with this version is that every time I do a soft reset, all or more of the programs that I installed get deleted and I have to reinstalled them again.
So, I decided to upgrade my pda to this version
"Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
In order to this I just simple need to flash the above file in my x7501 and here is when the problem starts,
I run the "RaphaelCustomRUU" that comes with the rom, I follow all the prompts and when the instalation start (0%) the pda auto-restart, the connection get lost and the installer simple stops.
I tried to install another version "28205_1_04RVGA" but happens exactly the same, I tried to update my Radio, and the same.
It looks like something is making my Pda to restart and doesn't allow the installation to continue. I also follow the steps from 1 to 10 of this file "AP4_How_To_1.8" to try to fix any problems with my device and nothing.
Battery is 100%
antivirus is off
PDA Sync perfectly
PDA works properly except when soft reset
Does any one has any idea why the auto restart is happening???
Thanks in advance

Hi I also have a similar problem:
I was running SPL3.5 & AP4 on an Athena X7500 previously but making a hash of the new/old roms to install, i flashed AP Touch by PK.
I am now unable to get into windows mobile's Today screen as the customisation process which runs config & AP Touch.tsk keeps resetting the device. Each attempt i flash (i tried multiple ROMs, ranging from AP Touch again, AP3newSPL, and AP4.0 again) results in an error asking me to check my USB connection to the device. I suspect its because i do not have enablerapi anymore inside the device. I am unable to install enablerapi into the device since it keeps resetting! deleting files from the startup folder to try stopping the customisation / reset process also didn't quite work, neither does it allow me to delete the AP Touch.tsk file inside the device.
Can anyone help??
Well, after a lot of research and luck I have finally resolved my problem.
and here is how I did it.
As you know my device every time I try to flash it from the computer, didn't response and simple cut the connection. I tried to flash it from the SD card and nothing, so.
1) look for the rom you want to flash, in my case was "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY". Note; you can go from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 but for some reason I couldn't go from 3.5 to 1.2 or earliest.
2) I put my Athena in bootloader mode, by pressing camera + Comm Manager + reset
3) the colored screen appears saying on the white area (serial). why, I'm assuming my device was waiting for a serial connection or something
4) and here is the luck, I connect my USB cable to my device and the word serial changed to USB.
5) I activated the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY" rom inside and follow the prompts
6) the installation for the first time in more than 6 months finally start and satisfactorily was completed as well.
done
I'm checking if everything is okay, but so far, everything cool,
Hope this is helpful to those who face the same problem.
cheers

Hi ,sorry noone saw your post but it would have been obvious what your problem was.
There is a way to downgrade to SPL 1.2 and it is in the stickies.
Just for reference if anyone finds this thread, you should have gone into bootloader to check your SPL and then made sure your ROM matched this.
The mismatch was the problem that caused the endless reboot.
regards lakeman
Thanks for your replay.
but I'd like to mention, that I was not trying to downgrade my SPL, in fact I was trying to Upgrade from 1.2 to 3.5. But that is not the issue.
My problem was that no matter what installer I used, after follow all prompts, the installation process freezed at 0%. Everytime I connected my PDA, everything looks alright until the installation process started and nothing always 0%.
So the solution was to put my PDA in bootload mode and only when the coloured screen appears, only at this point I connect my USB and double click the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the desired OS. My PDA instantly recognized the connection and did the installation.
Cheers

HD2 crashes on Android boot

Hi all,
I've got a UK HD2 with ROM=1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE and RADIO=2.12.20.02_2 and I'm trying to get Android running. I've already given it CotullaHSPL SPL-1.42.HSPL and have had early builds on it which booted fine. I've tried DarkStone1337's FroyoStone Sense - V2 (as well as the clean version) and a few others, but after the kernel starts, the disk is checked and application copying starts, the device reboots back into windows. The last message I am able to read relates to a nonexistant folder in /dbgfs. I've tried various other current ROMs but they have the same issue. I've had a search online and on here but haven't found anything. If anyone could shed any light, I'd be very grateful.
Dark,
UPDATE: Tried flashing to HSPL 2.08, still no dice. After more tries, the above ROM actually throws a not syncing kernel panic and a huge stack trace, but it reboots too fast for me to copy any of it out. Also tried hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773790 which got as far as the HTC loading screen, then rebooted into windows again.
Also I've realised this thread is probably in the wrong place. Sorry!
