Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread

MTTY
Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?
Darn
No more reponses?
It is probably bricked then.
So what's my next move...trash it?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...
Hey you must careffuly read mtty in kaiser thread.....mtty can brick your device for entire life.....my advice to you is pm GSLEON3
he's the master of using mtty and lot of kaiser user saved by him...
Hope this can help you
cheers
The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.
Are you sure? This Hard SPL suit for Hermes. You have to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375338

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!
after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol

Hello!
Try to flash back to original WM5 ROM, from bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471490
Re:
There's a little bigger problem. I couldn't do this, because i couldn't establish connect with activesyns. my phone couldn't get started. He only freeze on boot screen when U can C
IPL 2.06
SPL 2.06.0000
GSM 02.19.21
OS 6.1.0.0
Nothing more!!!!!!!!!!!
He freeze at this. Do U understand?
Is there anything else to do?
First: Never flash a ROM if you don't know how to get back if it fails. But I'LL help. You have to press the camerabutton while doing a softreset. You'll see a screen with three colours. Now connect your phone to your PC and flash a original ROM. That will work for sure. But you have to use XP.
And what too hell have you done that flashing of one of our cooked roms (Can see it cause of the OS Version) failed? And do you try to cook your own ROM? Because it seems so as you wrote you tried to flash your ROM.
Hope I could help
Re:
Yes, I tryed to cook my own ROM, but I'm lamma at this site. I couldn't find how to get it to my phone. Sorry.
And Thanks for your suggestion. I works Thank You very much.
If you have questions on how to cook a or flash a ROM right write me a PM I'll help. And if you want to publish it be sure you'll put credits to the people you took the ROM and so on from. Best is to ask first. For own (unpublick) use this is nessesary.
And now have fun with your ROM.
P.S. If you tried to cook WM6.5 forget to use an old XIP. You have to take a new one. But maybe Cyberdel and me will publish one this evening. Andf maybe kitchen too. But this is just a sideinfo.
Another problem
I've got to this situation again, but today I've got another problem. The baterry is charged, but phone don't wanna start. Is there any reason????
Hey Guys!! I hope, you can help me...
I want to install a other ROM on my Orbit. But it allways brake up at 3%. So, i thought, maybe it would help to install the original ROM. Ok, now i've got the oooooold original WM6. wow...
I want to install a version of 6.5, but everytime it stops at 3% with the notice, that my ruu is corrupted (Error [270]).
So i tried to flash via SD-Card. Renamed the ROM from RUU_Signed.nbh to ARTEIMG.nbh but sometimes the orbit means, that the ROM isnt certificated but mostly the Orbit cant find anything.
So, please help me
Hi there,
I used to have a similar problem every time I tried with WM 6.1 till yesteray.
The solution I found was,
Use USPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403&page=69)
Before you start USPL, be sure to remove SD card and SIM card from your phone and follow the procedure as in PDF there
Then flash whatever ROM you want to.
Hello, I want to get rid of the original rom and install WM6.5 I have been searching for hours but since there is that much information, now I got confused
I have a folder on the desktop with several programs that just don't open with Vista. Some of them work but I get errors.
My cellphone is SIM unlocked, got the code from T-mobile itself. As far as I understand, in order to install another rom I need to CID unlock the device.
I understand that I need to "hardspl" the device in order to accept another rom. I have followed a guide to hardspl a device but the links to download the software are corrupted.
I am running windows Vista with Windows Mobile device center installed and synched with the phone , I know most of these programs only work with XP.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me the direct link where I can download the correrct software for my wing to unlock the CID? and also, if it is possible to do it under Vista?
thanks for your help
thanks for your help guys...
anyone pleasee?
Well, everything that is HardSPL works with Vista. You just need to follow the instructions EXACTLY. What do you mean by the files are corrupted?
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
FOLLOW THIS .PDF TO THE TEE. COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA 100%. I USED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS
Hello all,
I have a Vodafone Compact IV and want to flash WM6.5.
I was followed your description exactly, but after beginning to flash the Windows is crashing with blue screen and the phone is standing in white screen. I can soft reset it and everything is like before.
On the phone there is actually a WM6.1 from Vodafone Germany. My IPL and SPL is IPL 4.14.0001, SPL 4.14.0000.
Any tips for me ???
Regards
Werner

if you flash the nvid rom you wont have hard spl but if its any rom other than that you will still have your hard spl.you can check if you still have hard spl when you switch your phone on. Its easier to flash with xp but in the new wm6.5 roms it will have the option to choose the vista option.select the vista option because its the same with seven.i personally take the sim and memory card out.hope this helps
