Hi !,
I'm tryin upgrade ROM with Siemens+ATT A3.0.9 (pocket pc 2002 to WM2003).
Manage to burn it to SD (inside XDA) with XDATool.
Then do hard reset..but bootloader 6.22 just ignore the SD and not
give option to load the new ROM inside the SD.
I found an opinion : to downgrade the bootloader to 5.15...but I hope
to maintain the 6.22 bootloader unless it is really need to downgrade the bootloader. Furthermore I don't know to patch or downgrade the bootloader
Here is my device info :
ROM version 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date 07/30/03
Radio version 4.21.01
Protocol version 32S54
Bootloader 6.22
So what should i do ? hope for assistance from somebody.
Try using XDAtools to directly flash your ROM ... if worked it will update your boot loader to 5.15
Ok, the main problem is that I have bootloader 6.22 as well and foolishly have upgraged to the T-Mobile Rom.
Since then I have tried using the Kitchen to make a "B" type rom but to no avail.
Plus since this rom has been isnatlled it will no longer accept any different types of Rom other than that of a "B" type rom. I can't even use the pther "Programme A / B" to flash my rom
so in other words. I am stuck until I can find a way to change the header string on a rom. or to find a way to download a "B" type rom.
Please note. I tried putting a "B" Type rom in to the header string section of the kitchens and it cooked it... But still isn't recognised by my device.

Is it possible through MTTY to erase the OS and radio rom but leave the bootloader? For warrenty reasons I need to leave the boot loader (still vodafone) but remove WM6 and the new radio rom.
Thx!
Or alternative, is it possible to only flash the OS? I believe my NAND is faulty since what ever radio rom I apply it crashes at the same stage.
I have got bootloader SPL-1.09 at present.
Hi
today wanted to flash my PVT32A with the new Taiwan rom with Sense .
I got the rom.zip file from htc , unzipped it and the just got dumb! tested to flash the new radio only (bad habit from old WM days)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
went well and then I restared the device
===> boot loop
I said OK! then I flashed it one more time
same command
Fastboot uploaded the radio.img to the phone and then the phone started to write it and just there the screen goes black!!!
I have the eng spl s-off
I tried to flash the old radio ===> SAME RESULT!
i testet fastboot erase radio
and then flashed again with same result.
any suggestion ? you don't need to explain every thing as a very very short hint/instruction will be appreciated too!
Edit
Fastboot boot recovery.img boots up and the menu comes up , one sec later it reboots!

I had this problem too, i "solved" it by flashing 3.03 from the .exe file... Now i am however stuck on a new perfect spl and no root... (but a good rom never the less)
Please move this thread.
Make room for the ROM development...thanks.
I'm a linux user and wife's Vista just don't want to work! will test .
If any body have another way to do this( avoiding p-spl) please tell!

I think it has to do with rom devel. as I was testing and still am testing the new rom and radio ... to release TheNano ROM to Swedroid Swedish android community
tried to install from the exe file, the updater cant find the phone as it is only starting in recovery mode.
Is there any information about what steps the update utility takes to do the actual update so I can do them by hand .
what is the boo_special.img file for ?
hey, guys ... any suggestion?

Hello everyone. I'm in need of a radio zip for a phone where i cannot use fastboot procedure but i can use a recovery. I cannot find on google a signed ready for recovery flash system a zip wich contains 3.22.23.18 radio. Can anyone provide? Thank you very much
just curious - why can't you use fastboot? It's a lot safer to flash radio in fastboot, so why don't you just flash an engineering SPL first?
it was done the update to the new radio, and it has nand locked (writte protected) as many of you already know about it , So even after installing a SPL ENG, it continues to be SIG ON. It is needed a radio so that i can flash it on the recovery Thats why i cant use fastboot on that phone.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I've heard the command to unlock (S-OFF) the SPL 1.76.2007 is
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
never had to use it myself though.
I think downgrading to old radio and spl in this situation may prove to be a very bad idea - it probably can't be done safely from recovery, and even if you manage to do it without bricking, you may still have S-ON in fastboot (and the old-radio compatible SPL doesn't support the oem command above IIRC).
that comand worked only to reactivate SD card. not of turning SIG OFF. I tried but didnt work.
Damn, then that makes it yet another issue which nobody has solved though many claim it is solved, and some even claim it doesn't exist at all. Like the issue of GPS not working on old-radio custom roms.
hehehe but it exists. IT is on 4 people wich i've identified in portuguese handcets.
Should the device be CID unlocked as well to flash a custom Rom / Different Language ROM?
the phone works with any SIM so i assume it is SIM unlocked. But not sure whether its CID. Dont know how to check either..
I am trying to flash a Rom with a WWE (Originally Italian). Hard Spl flashed successfully, and the new WEE Rom also flashed successfully (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5822694&postcount=2)
But then the phone boot halfway through and returns back to the Boot loader mode and displayed the message "Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center."
Is this because the phone is CID locked? where can i get it CID unlocked??
I managed to boot the phone back after flashing an Italian ROM. But still i need to Flash a WWE ROM.. Please Help..
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

hi sorry if this post is in the wrong place...

may 8 2009,21:02:32
i changed the radio with Radio Switcher v."GUI 4.1" from the forum
so i need to no if it can be fixed and also pointed in the right direction
thank you
I could have sworn Voda UK sells 32B phones. If I'm right, you just flashed the wrong radio. Find yourself a 32B sappimg and fix it.
ok tryed difrent ones just says its to old. and my goldcard with the sappimg.zip works until it starts to flash the radio (thats the sappimg i used to mod my phone in the first place) so now i dont no what to do at all. seems like it wont let the radio be flashed any ideas anyone. thank you.
Moving to General
ok this is begining to bug me now tryed to fix it for days now with no joy is there anyware i can send it to get it fixed or should i just bin it.
I have seen many with the same problem!
The problem lies in that you have wrong radio/spl combo!
To solve this you have to flash the right spl to match the radio. Then you flash the right set of matching radio and spl.
In your case that's not possible. You have a perfect spl, which will not allow you to flash anything!
So you are stock in the middle. Flash using a goldcard will result in the same thing. Whenever you try to flash a different radio, your system will reject it because of the bad radio/spl combo. That's why all your attempts failed.
The only thing you can do is to try to modify the sappimg.zip.
Make a copy of it to somewhere on your harddisk.
Using winrar or any zip tool delete the radio.img file inside the sappimg.zip.
Then try to flash it using the goldcard like you used to.
This way, you only flash the spl without radio and maybe you will have success. Just make sure that the spl is matching the radio.
Good luck
first off thank you for replying i tryed what you sead i removed the radio out of sappimg.zip and what happens now is it reads the sappimg when its finnished it just reterns back to hboot so it dont ask me if i wont to flash do you have anyoter ideas or is there some way i can get it back to the original 1.6 then just run the gold card agen to get it back to where i was befor i mesed it up with the radio witch i will defo not be putting on agen. thank you.
try this.
in fastboot mode type in a command promt:
fastboot update sappimg.zip (use the 1 without the radio)
See if that helps
hi agen tryed what you sead all i get is failed to load sappimg.zip not sure if im doing anything wrong [ c:\android-skd-windows\tools>fastboot update sappimg.zip
error: failed to load 'sapimg.zip' ]
not sure if im missing something the sappimg.zip is on root of the sdcard phone is on in fastboot mode. p.s taken the radio out of sappimg.zip
no not like this.
You must have sappimg.zip in the same folder as fastboot.
This is by default the tools folder inside the sdk bundle.
Or you can provide the full path to the sappimg.zip.
Good luck
ok i have followed what you have sead i put sappimg.zip in to tools folder and this is what i get makes no sence to me but may mean something to you.

And what is the end of this?
I need Infos please.
Well... it's only experimental.
I have noticed that some devices will accept the sapphire.zip file even if you have modified it. That's more if you only delete files from it, not add or exchange.
So the trick is to delete the radio.img making sure that the spl updates but the rest will fail... But we don't care about the rest... we only want to update the spl.
I will try it out as the last option. Remember, it's only experimental :0)
Got your PMs...
I have found a solution for your problems..
Ok... here it goes.
Download these to begin with while you READ.
https://rapidshare.com/files/454052569/2.10.531.4.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/450996411/special_sappimg.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/436753940/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING I WRITE.
The problem is that the device has conflicting spl and radio combo. The spl has an idea of where the radio should be and how big ect. When they are not matching the flash of a new radio will most likely fail.
To fix this problem, we need to flash a spl compatible with the 6.35 radio.
But the problem lies in the following. All the RUU/sappimg with a spl compatible with the 6.35 has a higher version than yours(starts with 3 something). If we update the version, we cannot flash the desired sappimg which follows. The goldcard will only update up in verion nr, NOT down.
Here comes the trick: I have found a special rom, which is part of a 2-part update which will not update your version nr...
Once the spl is updated and the system restarted, we can now flash any ruu we want using the goldcard. I recommend to flash one with a eng spl inbuilt like the 2.53.707.2 sappimg. But in if the device would not accept that sappimg(don't ask me why), try the 2.10.531.4.zip which is the same version as you have now.
The steps to follow:
1) Read and understand the above.
2) Rename special_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip
3) Make sure that you have a working goldcard and flash the sappimg.zip
4) Once the device has rebooted, you should rename the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard. This image should give you an eng spl. If you device will not accept it, then rename the other rom to sappimg.zip and flash it using the goldcard.
5) If you indeed get the eng spl, then you have full control and we can do almost anything we want. Just post here and we can take it from there. The eng spl has the following nr: 1.33.2010.
If you flashed the stock rom, then you only need to flash custom recovery and you should almost be there... also here post the progress and we will take it from there.
Hope that you will succeed... :0)
