first off, let me say that i have a vista(32-bit) and a winxp(64-bit) machine so flashing has been fun *sarcasm*. I have been unable to set the hard spl on this phone. Using ShellTool, i successfully wrote a wm6 rom, was liking it. I then went to try a newer version of the rom and i get stuck at the HTC screen that shows IPL/SPL of 2.28.0001, GSM 02.25.11, and OS 11.0.4.0. I can hard boot and I can enter the red/green/blue bootloading screen. Is there anything I can do with my setup to re-flash an OS on here or am I screwed? thanks in advance
There's no need to upgrade through Shelltool,it can easily be upgraded through HardSPL.
Secondly,HardSPL doesn't work on vista and winXP 64 bit,for HardSPL to work successful ,do it on WinXP 32 bit,there won't be any problem.
this being the reason i used shelltool, it worked successfully on a TNT rom, was hoping to upgrade to the newer one. i've been debating the fact of putting xp32 on here too, thanks though

Having been happily using one of the popular WM6 roms for a while now, I'm trying to load on one of the official WM6 roms. The problem is, I can never get past the "Verifying the information on your Hermes...Please wait..." and then Update Error [260].
When I run the update, it reboots the device to the bootloader and has the following info:
HERM100
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
However, when I boot the phone into the bootload by holding down the ok and power button's while resetting, I get the following BL details:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
I cannot get any other roms at all to work on the phone. I can't get the Hard SPL to load on the phone, I can't perform any sort of upgrade at all
Sincerely hoping I don't have to live with this rom for the rest of my life.
Ok, I think it might be a Vista issue. Just tried on a whim on a workmates Windows 2000 box, and it's flashing now.
Yes, Vista drivers do not work woth the custom flash RUU's. There is a way to make it work on Vista by replacing some of the drivers, but is kind of a pain.
Sounds like I'll just stick with using another box.
Really starting to regret jumping the gun on the Vista install. Ah well ,thems the breaks.
Yes they do if you have WMDC version 6.1.

Yes, but as far as I am aware, the drivers in the WMDC are not compatible with the custom RUU's made to flash unnoficial roms.

I've got XP loaded in bootcamp / parallels on a Mac that I use for things like this and it's never given me a second of trouble.
I think that says far more about how poor Vista has been than pages and pages of ranting ever could.

Before you try and flash anything else onto the phone you really want to get HardSPL on there, so i'd concentrate on trying to get that installed.
Is the phone sim/cid unlocked? which rom did you manage to flash?
I have the Hard SPL, but didn't load that on the 2k box. I just loaded the latest WM6 dopod rom. All working well so far.
If I understand correctly, loading on the HardSPL will just change the bootloader process, and not the actual rom?

it will help safeguard you against bricking your device.
And no it wont overwrite the ROM you have on now.
My first attempt to upgrade to AP4 did not succeed unfortunately (SPL to 3.50 upgrade went OK though), my power light stayed green and the display wouldn't come on.
So I took the Athena into bootloader and re-flashed back to AP3.
All seemed fine, the "Tap the screen to set up your device" screen appeared, I set it up and let the customization program run.
Unfortunately after the automatic reset at the end of the customization program, the device returned to the "Tap the screen to set up your device" and the customization program started again...
I tried interrupting the customization by soft resetting before it started executing itself, soft resetted during customization, let customization finish again (and again), but the device seems to be in an endless loop....
Any suggestions/help?
Thanks a lot in advance!
this happen because the spl and the kernel, AKA nk.exe, do not match. not sure what to do except try the new ap3 the cmonex posted **not sure if you tried that**
try the 3.0 cmonex posted and enjoy.
solved!
Thanks irus & Pawel062 (and cmonex!), that did the trick!
Probably not a bad idea to advise anybody who needs downgrading from AP4 to AP3 to use that rom. Download it from http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
See cmonex' thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386604
***great Information!***
HEY ALL,
I WAS ALSO HAVING SOME ISSUES VERY SIMILAR TO THESE WHILE TRYING TO "DOWNGRADE" TO ANY ROM FROM AP 4.0. THIS IS GREAT INFO AS I BUILD MY OWN ROMS CONSTANTLY, SO I WAS A BIT WORRIED WHEN I COULDNT SWITCH AFTER TRYING AP 4.O, BUT THANKS TO CMONEX, IRUS, & PAWEL062, WE CAN DOWNGRADE A BIT EASIER!
THANKS AGAIN!

just flash it with normal RUU
I have this problem of the "looping" with the customizations. My problem is that I can't get the device to a state where it is "talking" to activesync and from what I see, I need that to push this ap3spl new file.
When you say "just flash it with normal RUU" can you tell me what that means please? (sorry, noob here...) I've spent hours on the forums, wiki etc and I'm a bit lost.
I'm "trying" to get AP4 w/WM6.1 onto the device.
Purchased unlocked (new) and used on AT&T for 6 months.
Went to update the radio to 1.57 and used the unlocker first. (took out SIM/SD first of course).
Got past step one and then got a black screen on reboot...
I got AP3 to load but now I get this fun looping.. Setup device, load customizations, reboot, and start over.
Sounds like this file in this thread is my fix to at least get AP3 working but not sure how to apply. Can I do it from the bootloader?
thanks in advance for putting up with me
Oh yeah:
My current state:
ATHE100
IPL - v2.02
ATHE100 MFG
SPL -v3.50 OliNex
Eureka!
Ok, I'm not a COMPLETE noob.. (close). I'm up and running. AP3 (new spl) loaded, then loaded AP4. Woo Hoo!
No GPS
Well, I guess I'm "Almost" back up and running.
Since step three never got kicked off, it looks like my GPS rom/radio never was rewritten back to the device.
Any help on how to get just the GPS portion back?
Endless loop after flashing AP4
I have a similar problem. My Dopod U1000 was running WM6 and I upgraded to
radio version 1.58.00 no problem. After flashing AP4 I am in a cycle where my initial boot screen has black and white lines at the top and black at the bottom
Then get the Windows Mobile 6.1 screen and after automatic customizing the
PDA resets itself. I have tried to flash the AP3newspl file but it cant communicate successfully with the synced PDA. Any help?

Thanks lakeman. I reinstalled WM6 ROM from the boot loader.
My IPL v1.00 and SPL v1.20. Olipro and Radio 1.58
I have transferred enblerapi.cab to PDA and run it each time but when I flash
AP4 ROM or AP3newspl ROM I get an endless loop and my SPL stays v1.20
I cant seem to get a flash of SPL3.5 which I suspect is the problem.
Am I missing something?
Il download non funziona.
Hi Guys.
I just got a Fuze after waiting since June and I'm proud to say it's my first smartphone. So I wanted to put a cooked ROM on it and I figured out that I need to use Hard SPL for any ROM.
When I go to update the ROM with Hard SPL it goes to the progress bar on my computer and the device starts the enterbootloader.exe program. However, the second that enterbootloader.exe starts and the device goes black, I lose my connection to my PC. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan
Which OS?
What OS are you using? It my not have any significance, but with my old AT&T 8125 (HTC Wizard), I could only successfully flash my ROMs using ActiveSync with Windows XP.
Every time I would try to do it with Mobile Device Center in Vista, I would lose connection as well. I don't really use XP anymore, so I now use VM Ware to boot virtually to XP whenever I flash my ROMs.
I'm using vista, and when I installed Hard SPL I ran the SSPL (Soft SPL) and it did make my screen black. However, windows still picked up a different driver and I was successfully able to write the HardSPL while the screen was black.
im using windows 7 so that may be the problem lol
I'm currently running Dopod wm5 (http://rapidshare.com/files/53995708/ruu_s...podwwe_ship.rar), and I've application and reg unlocked, and done everything, but I keep getting error 260 when it verifies the device ID. I've tried multiple roms. Can anyone help?
(I flashed the official rom from Erofich's v9a)
make SuperCID ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292068 )
SuperCID
I did that
Maybe it's the fact that I'm flashing from the wrong OS? I've tried from windows xp on virtual machine, Vista, and win 7 RC.
try this, it should help

Problem solved!
I flashed the imate wm5 rom and unlocked and flashed normally from there.
Hi. I have searched the forums, but haven't found the answer I have been looking for, so sorry if this is a repeat.
I am working under Windows 7, installed VMWare and XP Pro on it, and easily installed Hard-SPL and Cracings 6.5. When I went to upgrade the Radio, I was sure to download one without SPL and IPL. I tried to upgrade, but it hung at 2% for at least 5 hours. (I knew it was bad in 2 minutes actually, but decided to wait). Now it will turn on, but to the tri-color boot screen. Tried hard reset (although I didn't really expect it to work). Is there anything that I can do? It shows when I connect it to usb, both on the phone and on the computer.
It is FAR out from under warranty, so thats out, but if there is anything I could try, I would be much obliged for pointers. Thanks a lot!

You need to make the update with RUU 2.5.2
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314952 ).
Try it, if even that does not work (for me it works only with wizard_love ROM
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...293480&page=21 loca's post), but not with other cooked ROM's) then you can try WST wizard service tool
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170 ) to unpack the nbf and load only the OS ROM.
Thanks for the info.
I will try it later this weekend when i get time! (moving to new apt.... sigh... can't feed the addiction)

If Tri Colour Screen WST needs to boot into WM OS surely???
How can you use WST if only on bootloader. Please explain as I have similar issues...

I had exactly the same experience as you: Hard-SPL followed by Cracing and then the tri-color screen. This thread helped me revive my G4.

Hey I am having the same problem but with my G3 att 8125. I flashed to 2.26 which I always do before installing any rom then installed X2A Haseebs Iphone Killer and it stalled at 57% for over an hour so I unplugged it and hard-reset it. I have installed this rom about twice and it works fine. Now my phone starts up and goes straight to the Tri-colored bootscreen. When I plug the phone in it displays that it is connected via USB but the computer doesnt recognize it. IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26 as displayed on the screen. PLEASE HELP!
Hi all, I've got the exact same problem as Quadzilla has - any help would be much appreciated!
