Hi all,I am a new member in xda-developers.
I am using HTC Radar
There is some details of Radar:
PI06100
SPL-2.3.160015.3(134621)
Radio-16.23.03.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then,Cause the Error 294,so I need to use Y-cable and a Gold Card to unlock Radar that can change to HSPL...
While I am ready all the things (the gold card was found by xda-developers) ,Y cable (Hand made)
OK,I plug in all the things I need,then press VOL- + Camara + Power Bottom,Enter the USB host mode,
But It just stay on '' ENTER USB HOST MODE'',I wait for a while,nothing changed...
Who else can teach me to change SPL by using this way?
Is there any wrong place?
THX all
Your Y cable is bad
Which part of Y cable is bad?
I want to know more.Thanks ^^
how much time did u have waited
hello sir it takes 5 to 7 minutes to start flash, i have tried it out and goes well. show me your cable config.
I have same problem here ,my screen stuck on "Enter usb host mode" only
does anybody have solution ????
I managed to flash my Radar over the weekend and if it stays on "USB Host Mode" it means that it can't read the sd (gold)card with the NBH file.
So somewhere along the chain a connection is bad. Doesn't mean that it's broken however (though it may be, but don't assume so yet), and instead start switching the connections around.
Also remember that one end has to be plugged into a power adapter and in the power socket.

Some things to try
Make sure the name of the image that you have on the sd/usb says OMEGIMG.nbh.
Notice the OEM name of the phone is OMEGA Take only the first four letters and then add IMG to the name and otherwise it will not flash.
If you have farther problems i can make a easy to follow guide on unlocking/flashing homebrewed OS and installing hspl.
Make sure that you have formated the usb to FAT32 and allocation unit size CAN ONLY BE 4096bytes OTHERWISE IT WILL FAIL!
also read through this its really helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912
I cant get it to flash my radar either. I have this y cable http://www.amazon.com/OEM-UTStarcom-USB-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002W8EDOM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1345853194&sr=8-6&keywords=y+cable+usb and a usb gender changer. Trying with both 1gb sandisk microsd and 4gb kingston usb drive. Am I plugging the y cable wrong? which end goes to the phone and which end goes for microsd reader and which for the wall plug?

Hi. I have a problem here. Is it possible to flash new rom directly through bootloader, my activesync is not working properly, and something is wrong with my usb connection - when I connect my device to PC via usb, in bootloading mode - it gets connected and disconnnected about 50 times in one minute, no .RUU is able to recognize it for long enough to complete the instalation. I've tried to reinstall the activesync, did hard reset of my phone, deleted relationships - but no luck. What worries me most is that usb connection problem. It's only with HD2, all other devices connect properly. Anyone knows the answer, what should I do in order to fix that? P.S I always remove sim and sd card, and disable my antivirus programs and firewalls during my flashes....
I bricked it, finally...
And now - I'm stuck...seemed I finally got connected via usb through bootloader for longer than two minutes, so I started fleshing my radio... and it got disconnected after a minute by itself again, in the midllle of the process...Now, there's an upgrade rom code error on green field of my bootloader, telling me to try again, only - I can't do recovery, cause my usb connection gets on/off 50 times a minute, whenever I try to do the recovery .... Any suggestions?

Possible solution, you should try different USB ports of your PC.
Always make sure your battery capacity above 50%.
If you don't have HSPL installed, you should only flash the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM (go to htc website).
Other alternative, you can flash via micro sd card.
Download the CORRECT OFFICIAL STOCK ROM and extract it using either 7zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh
Rename it to: leoimg.nbh
Copy it to the root of micro sd card. Insert it to the phone.
Now, make sure you turn off the phone.
Then, press at the same time, the volume down and power on button, this will bring you to the boot loader.
Follow the onscreen instruction.
Good luck
Thanks for the reply...I have HSPL 2.08, it was fully charged, and was flashing radio 2.12. I was planing to flash a custom rom after words. I've tried about 8 usb ports on my computer, and always the same thing - endless connect/disconnect game, or not connected at all... If I get lucky - it will turn out to be only usb cable, but if I'm not and if it is usb port on my HD2 - I'm doomed, I might as well throw it to the garbage, cause replacement of the motherbord cost as much as new phone ... And, I'm afraid - that's the strongest possibility, I never had a problem charging a phone before this, but a member here explained me that usb port on HD2 has 4 pins, 2 for charging and 2 for data transfer. And that it seems - my data pins are ****ed.. ... So, anyway, I'm gonna try flashing this radio and new rom from sd card, but how am I gonna charge my phone now, in order to do that (I've been trying to establish connection to pc from my bootloader all night, so battery must be low by now) cause when it's turned on and put to charge warning comes up on that black screen: Software update failed, please try again - and the led for charging battery never turns on ?

Yeah it sounds like your USB port on your HD2 is bad. If your HD2 is still under warranty I flash the official stock ROM via SD card so you are back to complete stock and good for warranty repair. Also so you know if you bought your HD2 secound hand if it was still under warranty when you bought it the warranty is transferable.
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately, I'm as lucky, as it gets ...
My friend's got a Legend with a USB malfunction (which I'm supposed to repair ). I've gone through all the threads and posts, and I couldn't find anyone which had precisely my problem.
When the phone's switched on and connected to via a USB cable, it starts charging, and the pop-up to select Charging, Mount as disk drive, Sync etc comes up.
But on the computer, whether I try USB debugging, or Mount disk drive, or the others, it shows the error "USB Device not recognized". I've installed HTC Sync, and am able to connect other phones without any problem.
I tried connecting the USB in fastboot, but it doesn't detect it either (FASTBOOT doesn't change to FASTBOOT USB).
I just wanna confirm with experts if this' a problem with the hardware (Got a sample here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18420923&postcount=11) before I go to the service center.
Thanks
U might be using the wrong data cable. There are 2 different types, there is the old type that only has 4 connectors in the mini USB plug (phone end), the new ones have 5 connectors.
Another possibility is that the cable is simply just damaged.
I had the exact same issue with an external HDD that worked, then stopped then worked again then stopped, tried a new cable and worked without issue.
Sent from my legend using XDA
I'm leaning less to the hardware side.
I have had this problem before (not entirely identical) and after fruitless attempts in fixing I decided to reflash my rom and USB worked again.
Sent from my Legend
Thanks for the reply guys Had to replace the USB port connector PCB.
Just for the info, I was not able to re-flash the ROM since the phone was S-ON and bootloader locked and couldn't get FASTBOOT USB to work.
USB Version...
Hey guys, long time reader thought I'd contribute my frustration to hopefully help someone in a similar situation.
I spent a few days wondering why I couldn't get any of this to work no matter what cable I tried. For some reason, my HTC One X didn't like dealing with fastboot through my computer's USB 3.0 slot. When I finally tried a 2.0 slot on the same machine, everything went through just fine...
Cheers!

Hi Guys, just to let you all know that I successfully debranded my AT&T Titan 1, using the gold card method, and flashed it with the European version, here's now my phone spec:
MODEL: Htc Titan X310e
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 1600.2200.20501.401
Bootloader: 2.5.160015.3(137079)
For the gold card method i followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24809318#post24809318 I actually made my Y cable following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371073&highlight=goldcard+spl+downgrade+method
The only change I made on the steps provided in the thread above, was to force the phone into USB mode- with the goldcard plugged into the Y cable and Y cable usb into the computer (at this stage phone is not plugged to the Y cable), i booted the phone into spl mode (pressing vol +/- and power) from spl mode restarted phone then during reboot pressed vol - and camera, this boots phone into usb mode, from usb mode plugged phone to the Y cable.
This is the only way I got my at&t phone to work with gold card method.
With this european version I now got Internet Sharing I will play with this version for a week or so before trying out the custom rom i'm hoping that I can now just flash HSPL without having to use gold card now that my at&t titan is debranded. BTW I use this version of european rom: IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE
This method only applies to Stock Cingular ROM 1.10 and not for those who have already flashed the DFT spl 2.05
Very nice job.
Do you know if this some process will work for the Titan II?
I am using T-Mobile instead of AT&T. But I am not able to receive picture messages or get the 4g. I also can not tether/internet sharing.
I'd like to get the 3 of those items to work.
Again, very nice job!
lol Thankyou..
I made a Y-Cable (somewhat) and stayed in SPL instead of USB Mode (Vol -/Camera) lol no wounder it didn't work Now i wanna go home!!!
If I got Sandisk Flash drives hopefully it works! with your method mentioned or with the cables.
I'll report back.

I don't think this will work with Titan 2. There is no available stock rom out in the market for this phone yet even att/cingular rom (correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm sure its coming.

Give this a try. Also if in the first go nothing happens, unplug the usb to the phone then reboot it again into usb mode (vol-/camera). Also after it goes into the first flash, it will reboot to usb mode and stuck to this screen so what I did is again repeat the process, unplug phone and reboot to usb mode, this kickstart the second stage of gold card method and completes in about 20-30 mins I think. I hope this works on ur phone too

It works
So what was on your gold card, the European rom?
If so, doing it this way will unbrand the titan (enabling the internet share) and lets you flash HSPL w/o original gold card method to flash custom ROMS.
Doing it this way enables internet share after custom ROMs, right?
Might do, but as my OP I am just enjoying this unbranded htc titan with internet sharing and will try flash HSPL and custom at later times.
Well Please let us know. I just got word that my cable will arrive next Wednesday!
Finally relented, I decided to flash my phone with the custom rom from Ultrashot's Dynamic7.... and it went without a hitched
To get here, I tried initially to flashed the DFT spl 2.5 with RUU but it came up with (still) invalid vendor id (i was hoping that this will not happen considering I debranded my titan with EU version rom 2.5)... anyway I end up again using the goldcard method and this went seamlessly (same procedure on my OP). Following this I flashed DFT HSPL and also went without any problem, flashed the custom rom and also end us flashing the radio as it was stuck on the htc boot page. Just checked the internet sharing and this working as well
So from my experience with this htc branded titan, I think the best route to flash custom rom is to first debrand it to european version (using the 2.5 version), then use goldcard method to flash the spl 2.05 and use the DFT wizard to install HSPL.
Cool, I'll be making my cable this evening and giving it a try.
So is this thing Interop unlocked when you are done with this? My main thing is Internet Sharing, but if I can get more than three home brew apps at a time that would be a real bonus.
Thanks for the write up.
Give it a go. As mentioned on previous post, it pays to debrand first the phone to EU version and avoid all the known issues with att titan eg no access to internet sharing.
This will fully unlock your phone which is more privileges than interop unlocked, and enjoy custom rom. I would recommend Ultrashot Dynamic7 rom, this somehow solved previous issue of my titan losing cellular signal and has to resort to switching on/of airplane mode to get the cellular signal back....
Let us know if this works with your phone.
Strike one for me. Built the cable and made the gold card, but never could get the phone to do anything following your steps and the ones in the other thread. So not sure what I'm doing wrong, but everything looks right from here.
On my Y cable I used a micro USB cable and an extension cable I had around, so I didn't need any adapters or gender changers. So unless some pairs get reversed in a gender changer or something like that I think my cable should be fine.

I made Mine as well... Used Two Internal USB plugs and joined the White/Green together then joined the Black/Red with an Old Cellphone AC Charger.. Using a 4GB SanDisk FlashDrive works fine... well to flash only cingular roms since i'm Half-Bricked
Well just so I'm clear on the cable, from the phone to the card reader, all wires, data and power are connected straight through. From my computer or other USB power, I connect the red and black power to the red and black that connects to the other two ends, correct?

Yes.
Data must travel between the phone and the GoldCard Only.
So the White/Green Cables should be connected together.
The Red/Black Connected to your source of power (PC/AC)

Does your card reader led light switched on when you plugged your phone while in usb mode (vol-/camera after reboot from spl mode)? One way of checking that Y cable has good connection is that when you plugged the phone to either female plug of y cable that is connected to power source the phone will show that it is charging.
For my Y cable, i used 2 USB type A male/female connectors so I didn't need a gender changer as well. Check that you have good connection/soldering and that it is well insulated (mine i used electrical tape) and to be honest this is my first go with soldering and took me few times to get this y cable right mind you I did order one from ebay as a back up but hasn't arrive until now I used a multi card reader and a 2gb microsd for my goldcard (see screenshots).
OK, looks like I had the file named incorrectly on the memory card. Now it gets to "loading..." for a few minutes and then drops to the SPL screen. Hmm.

Hi, have you tried to install custom rom? I debranded mine, but only can flash roms with radio 16, but never those with radio 17. Tried to flashed it via cable, an GC, no luck.
Anyone else with this problem?

No pairs are reversed. You put together both energy cables, and only data from card reader and cellphone.
Have in mind the flash takes like 3-5 minutes to start! I tell you this because at first I thought the cable was bad, but it just takes time.

You're nearly there, that happened to me too. What I did, when it revert back to spl mode unplug your phone, reboot phone then when it restart hold vol - / camera this will boot phone into usb mode then plug phone back. Mine goes straight into the flash mode. I assumed that you are currently flashing the European rom with goldcard? goodluck.
Hi!
Well, after few weeks with my nice S3, yesterday I finally had time to try to root and mod my phone, but things seems to be worst in advance, so I woul like to ask for some help...
1) At first, I never plug my phone on my pc since I bought it, since I put all my stuff on sd card with an textternal usb reader/w and put in and everything works nice.... however when I yesterday try to put my phone in usb download mode, I found that it was NOT recognized in usb in any way (no MTP, no usb device and not usb Download Mode) by my vista windows install on my laptop (I use more kubuntu but keep the original vista install that came with my machine for the rare times that I need to run something on windows).
Ok, so, I then read post, search and follow sugestions about remove drivers, reinstall Kies, remove kies, reinstall, then install only the drivers for T-mobile version, and also uninstall everything and reinstall again with the ToolKit 4.0... but again NO results and S3 not recognized on my machine...also tested with others micro usb cable (1 generic and one oem motorola)...
2) Again and follow posts... I borrow anotehr laptop with a Win7 install that NEVER had installed Samsung drivers or Kies... so I installed Kies, and drivers only for try to at least get my S3 recognized by Kies by USB cables... same NO successs...
3) So, then I came to my Kubuntu install and try at first a flash of recovery with Heimdall... so It was recognized and completed the flash of recovery, But I found that I use a STOCK recovery file... son when I try to acces recovery, I get it but again it was the same stock recovery....
4) Here is the weird part... after this first Heimdall flash, the Flash counter appears with 1 count, BUT now Heimdall also dont recongnizes my S3 with this error:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
I wonder if after first count may the Stock S3 may be block the usb connection for dwonload mode until some sort of stock software, that may reset usb and allow it to enter in download mode again... also wonder if may be some hidden menu optioon for reset/test thet usb port or for change it form MTP to USB storage mode thatmay NOT requiere ROOT since I not see by now a way to get root withouth usb access detected in pc.
So, by now, I am still lucky in that my phone is booting fine on stock android and charges and everything seems normal, except that there is no way to make it recognized in usb connection of any type, none Linux, vista o win7...
5) I then try at a last resort to try to get root, to try to use STOCK recovery to try to flash a zip with CWM recovery inside, but give a error of validation and no flash nothing...
6) By now I wonder how could be reset or wake up the usb since seems a common issue with S3 but almost everything that I found refers to solution when the phone is already rooted, and if not rooted all I found is the same suggestions about uninstall/reinstall drivers/kies but nothing else...
So, I remember that when I used a Moto XT720, one of the ways to make it custom roms, was a zip that was proper prepared by a dev, that include a version of CWM zipped inside a file named update.zip that could be flashed temporaly by Stock recovery "flash update" option of stock recovery menu, and then it Boots to CWM recovery that finnally allows to flash custom roms properly inside the phone and WITHOUT usb access... so I wonder if somebody may know/help with a similar solution for S3 that dont get USB access for get flased roms or root...
So, as I post above, by now I fell enough lucky to have my phone booting-up normal and charging, but feels that I caged since I not see a way to get root or custom roms other that have an usb fully recognized by pc and seems that this could be an issue of the stock firmware that may be happen... so I would like to ask for help suggestions and proece with extremely care before doing any other attemps to root since I would like to solve how to maintain a reliable usb connection open and recognized status and/or a way that may be possible to install CWM recoveery with an update.zip file form stock recovery, and from there the advance may be safer....
Thanks for read and any help/suggestion will be very appreciated.
Best regards to all.
Well... Really worry now...
And by now I test several attemps of the same tricks plus a suggestion on other post, about reset factory, fully charge S3 (somebody talks that in their case the S3 refuse to connect if battery level is under certain 85% level and the USB connect in Battery Charge mode only and above level of charge allow MTP connection), and also a suggestion about factory reset and a leaving the phone without battery by a while ( I leave mine by 12 hours...)....
Still no way to connection trough usb...
So any help or suggestion for reset USB operation mode (in order to get my S3 detected in PC) or to get Root access from Stock recovery "apply update from external Card", may seems the possible solutions.
Please if could be some help, no answer/posts by now, so hope tha this could not be a BUMP... :-/
Thanks for read and if please some help...
Best regards!

Hi!
Ok, first of all thanks for reply...
1) I already try with an Motorola OEM cable from a Droid 3 and with a generic micro-usb no brand (As I found by now seems that is S3 have a new usb pinout with 11 pins port) so may be need a new cable with 11pins or may believe that a standard micro-usb cable (like mine Droid 3 oem cable) may be better for debug this issue.
2) Please excuse my dumb question, but what is a drainboard USB port? (by now all my tests are directly to the usb ports of my laptop that are working fine in any of the 3 that it have and recognizes other phones, usb memories and other usb devices in any of them), so I wonder about what is a drainboard USB port and if it may be a clue to try to fix this...
3) Ok, by now I did my testing try to turn on/off usb debugging in several of the tests without any sign of change in usb port status of my S3, may be possible some additional setting in stock rom that may affect usb port status aprt of Debugging On/Off?
Thanks again for take tiem for answer and any additional help will be very gartefull
P.D. Today I still did some testing try same about kies on/off, turn on/off laptop with phone connected/unconected, etc, and still usb port still in charging mode only... Thanks again.
Hi!
Well, I finally got my usb work and was due a combination of wipe and original cable (and combination of this factoirs in my previous attemps...so I would like to thanks again to JJEgan since with their "standard reply" kick me to start a new round of tests and I found some details that would like that would like to share if may help somebody else that may look in this thread....
As many other people post previously thet Samsung original cable that came with S3 is really faulty (as many others friends found and post before), but I didnt found in previous posts if somebody look why this (simple after fix didnt look more about), so I was curious and checked it, and at least to my sight (that not may be the 20/20 but close, and I checked with a magnifying glass...), so these are some details that appears to my eyes:
1) The Samsung S3 usb conector seems that have somewhat more tiny contacts plate that other phones (including samsung as I checked with my Captivate Glide), so the contact with a cable seems to be somewhat loose in many cases...
2) In my case the diference was with a Droid 3 oem cable that when is checked carefully against the Samsung S3 original cable and Samsung Glide original cable, the Moto oem seems that have the internal wire contacts inside the micro usb conector of the usb cable, more "curved" to the center of the slot of the micro usb cable conector that the Samsung ones (in fact the Samsung seems almost planes in comparison). So I believe that my previous attemps with Moto cable may fail because I didnt full wipe my S3 at that time of test with moto cable.
3) I also receive and tested today an HDTV Adapter TIP (5 to 11 Pin Converter-Samsung EPL-FU10BEBSTA) and I gald to confirm that It works wonderfully with my Glide HDTV adapter (Skiva MHL (Micro USB) to Female HDMI Adapter (1080p Supported)), so it seems a fine piece, BUT the curious detail is that this HDTV Adapter TIP have a really visible longer metalic connector (more than 1mm more) that the metalic connector in the S3 original cable, and when the HDTV Adapter TIP is inserted in S3 it goes fully inside (so apart of somewhat tiny internal plate, seems that the connector is in fact more deep inside S3 than other phones).
4) I also tested the moto cable with HDTV Adapter TIP and it didnt work to make a data transfer connection but make charging of S3 so the connectio is made but not recognized through the HDTV Adapter TIP for data access (but again HDTV siganl of the Skiva adapter works fine).
5) So, my resume for people that may have this issue is:
a- Find a usb cable that may have more curved wire contacts inside prefer oem cables that may have better quality.
b- Test on a windows machine with the LAST AVAILABLE version of KIES and allokies to download their last driver version that may it install.
c- When everything is set, if possible test usb cable and port in copmpuetr with another phone and better if could be another samsung model so You could check that kies is working fine.
d- First plug usb cable in computer and then in S3 and if nothing happen try to move VERY GENTLY AND SOFTLY the micro usb plug connected in S3 in order to try that the really tiny wires of the plug may reach god contact, or try several times to plug and unplu micro usb connector in S3 port (try counting to 10 between plug-unplug).
e- if the above didnt works I may suggest try on another coputer that may have win 7 in order to test better.
In my case the diferences was made with step d of the above comment.
So, by now thanks to people that read this post and best regards to all.
I also have problem with flash SGS3 (GT-I9300) via heimdall 1.3.2 under Ubuntu Precise.
Phone was recognized by Linux but flash was failed.
I haven't any Windows computer to test.
heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --verbose

Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing->w10 fail. Error message, cannot continue. unusable.Urgent
Hey,
I got Wisky 3G068i 9,7" w8.1bing tablet yesterday.
It was reset to factory settings. After getting things going, it worked fine with win8.1 and updated itself. Then asked do I want to update to win 10 and after reading and ppl saying its better(and i dont really like win 8) I updated it throught windows own update screen.
After night of installing it, it was stuck on 95% (took hellish long time) and had error message on it "please install extrenal removable media and press ok" (its in finnish so translation might not be correct but you get the point)
I tried clicking yes, no affect. Then removed card, put it back in and it started to revert itself back to win 8.1 after saying not enough room or some error(cant remember correct anymore).
It reverted approx 8 hours then that error came again and now its stuck on it, it wont do anything.
I tried to create win10 install to micro SD with win10 media creation tool but it wont boot from it. It boots up, wisky logo is seen and then rolls loading dot for while, then flashes some screen like command screen, very fast, I cant read what its doing and the error is back.
What can I do? there must be some way to get to reinstall of windows 8.1bing or win10 but how? I dont know does tablets have bios or how to get to it, or how do even get it to boot up some install media.
Been googling another 8 hour but i just cannot find anything that would help my situation.
How can I force it to boot from microSD or do I need to get some microusb-female usb adapter for usb stick? I have a USB hub and throught it i was able to install the win10 installation to usb stick and microsd but idk does the tablet understand that hub(and read from it the usb stick)
i have years of experience with pc's but with tablets i dont really have any.
Tablet has 3 puttons: power on/off and volume up/down
Since I dont have manual, i dont know how to do any resets on it or anything and seller did not have one and maker is chinese and hasnt answered me.
I found old posts on internet saying ppl did get the win10 to install but none posted how they did it.
tablet has:
2gb ram
16gb harddrive
microSD port where I have 64Gb brand new Kingston class10(it works even it says on specs 32gb is biggest)
3.5mm port and micro HDMI port.
Please any help is useful and Im forever gracious to whomever can help me fix it! heck i even buy you a beer if possible
