flashing the rom problems - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I have done everything with the tutorial german2englisch thread.
Now i have the folowing problem : when i put the sd card with the new rom in it wont start with screen push power button to flash. after waiting for a 5 min i push the sd card out and then it said push power button to flash, so i push the sd card back in and it said : read card fail.
If i write the new rom to the sd card it says when its finished : parameter is incorrect . Can i ignore this warning or is this the problem why it wont flash?
When i copy the first 416kb of the old heather to the new, is it normal that beneath the heather wil change to ffffffffffffffffff . original beneath the heather is 00000000
So can someone please help me because i'm stuck and really want to flash this device .

Upgrade error, please help me?

Hi !
I have a problem with upgrading ROM. When I am
upgrading the error message is appeared " Error
Serial/USB port....." something like that. But the
device starts to upgrade with progress bar, and it
does not start yet just appear the upgrade message.
After error message the Program A shutdown itself
without restart to upgrade again. I don't know what to
do? And I unplug it from its cradle and try to
softreset and hardreset. I hope that it will be back
to my windows, but it still shows the upgrade message
and progress bar. And after 2 or 3 hours the screen
become black and white horizontal zebra. How can I
restore to my pocket pc 2002?
Best reguard,
You have to use SD card with a card reader/writer to load the ROM nbf file on the card .. the chances are good that you didn't loose the boot loader
Hope !
It mean my XDA doesn't die yet. I've read this forum for a few days and I found the advice for rescue my XDA, and you show me the key so I'm very happy. The program is XDArit v1.02, and I have MMC 256MB but I didn't buy a Card reader yet. I'm not sure that MMC can do. The instruction in that topic is not clear for me, so would you mind if I need some details for doing this from you.
Thank you in advance,
I didn't use MMC card for ROM flashing before, so I can't confirm it works.
Use XDAtools instead if XDRit. Cope the .nbf file to the SD card then go to the boot loader (soft reset while holding power)
Thank you very much for your reply imediately.
The XDATools that I've downloaded, it doesn't work properly because the message is "Missing RAPI.dll". Where can I get that file?
install activsync
Oh ! I forgot my pc doesn't have ActiveSync. So it was missing. Thank you very much I will install it. :lol:

HELP! Upgrading ROM=dead HTC Alpine

Hi guys and gals,
How could I explain my problem...
Let's give it a try!
I have a PDA model Orange SPV1500 (the same machine also comes as Alpine, Qtek 2020i, XDA2i, etc).
Anyway, I decided to upgrade the ROM to get the latest one and to have it in Spanish, as it is my native language...
Apparently, the only way to do this is using a memory card, so I did in the following way:
I used:
The PDA (obviously)
Sd card 256 mb
The actual infor in spanish of how to do it:
http://www.pcdemano.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13789
Spanish ROM file from Telefonica: Qtek2020iESN.nb1
romupdate.exe
ntrw.exe
CPART.EXE
MERGE.COM
SPLIT.COM
HEX Editor (HEX WorkShop)
------------------------------
1 - Using Romupdate.exe with the PDA connected to the PC in "bootloader" mode, I 'ask it' to make a copy of the ROM on the SD card (d2s 80000000 3F00000)
2 - I then take the card out of the PDA andI insert it in my card reader. Using CPART.EXE I copy the file in the HD (i.e.: ntrw read ROM.nb1 L
3 - I extract the 3 programs inside the rom file using SPLIT.EXE (split ROM.nb1)
4 - I open one of the 3 files extracted with the hex editor (HEADER.NB1) as well as the updated 'telefonica' ROM I have (Qtek2020iESN.nb1). I put the header from my rom into the telefonica one.
5 - I merge together my new Spanish ROM with the header file I extracted from my PDA with SPLIT.COM (header.nb1 + ext.img + trailer.nb1---->NEWROM.nb1)
6 - I write the new file to the SD card (ntrw write newrom.nb1 L
7 - I insert the SD card into the PDA, put it in "bootloader" mode and follow the on-screen instructions: I press the power button to start the transfer process of the new ROM to the PDA.
8 - It shows an error!!, but it seems to have finished...
9 - I restart it and...
NOTHING!
DEAD!!!
I never saw it move anymore!!
---------------------------------------------
After some research, I think I may have made a mistake when copying/pasting the ROMS
I have compared their sizes and they are 36 bytes different!
- ROM.NB1: 244 MB (255.852.544 bytes)
- NEWROM.NB1:243 MB (255.852.508 bytes)
Does anybody know if they actually have to have the exact same size??
Now I can't (anybody knows how?!) put the PDA back in bootloader more, so I can not put the old ROM back in...
The only way in wchi I manage to get any sign of life is to plug it to the pc or charger and the red charging LED lights up!
There actually seems to be a lot of power consumption! After 6 hours of inserting a full battery, it goes down to 50% (I used another PDA to check it!)
Is there any way to make the PDA go to bootloader mode?! Serial or, anything?!?!
Any suggestions, PLEASE!?!
Does you screen display anything?
Did you keep your original back-up of your ROM (ie. what you flashed to your SD card)?

I don't see anything on the screen, ANYTHING.
And yes, i keep my original ROM in the SD card and the hard disk
Thanks for your reply,
Mino
Try....
Insert your SD Card and perform a "hard reset". Does this give you the option to "reflash your ROM' with the ROM Image on your SD card?

This will never give u any options.
You need to put it in bootloader mode(engg mode) and then do a SD card ROM image flashing
kdskamal,
Thanks for the tip. You're right. I haven't done this for a while. I realized my mistake re-reading some posts at www.buzzdev.net.
Mino,
Eject your SD card with your original rom files.
Put your device in bootloader mode by pressing Power button + D-pad simultaneously +reset button with the stylus for 3 seconds
Once you see "Serial 1.XX", insert your SD card with your original ROM image.
You should be able to reflash it at that point.
Justin
That's the question!
I can't put the PDA in bootloader mode! I push power button, etc and the screen continues in black, nothing!
The only solution is to replace the electronic card, therefore you must send it in assistance. About 115€! :?

Is that possible gene update its rom from sd card

im cant updating my rom to wm6.1 is because every time i update , the usb connection will lost while the progress bar starts ... , so is that possible that gene upgrade the rom from the sd card , i think this is more easily right ?
no u cant do it thru ya card try hard resettin ya phone n try the whole process again it should work
Yes you can. Format your sd card as fat32 in window on pc and the put the nbh file on it and rename it to geneimg.nbh. Insert the card in phone and restart phone in bootloader by keeping the camera button pressed. The process will start automatically.

Hi. New here. Done this magldr 1.12 and leo70 rom but my phone playing up badly after a lot of droid and 6 and other flashes. I can't install hardly any rom any more without it - ie: stock, wm6, android, wp7 rebooting constantly for no reason etc.
Done mtty and have bad blocks - about 16 and 16 reversed. done task 28 and task 28 55aa, and task 29 as read in other threads. tried everything with different radios, different nand droid. multiple wp7-hd2 installs. but still reboots.
Any thoughts? If go back to stock+spl1.66 and send back under warranty anyone know/think if they will fix it and/or replace it? they still have old sealed replacement hd2 stock or boards much? do they do diagnostics and look at bad blocks properly on warranty return? Even on stock-rom and stock-spl still does this reboot although not as much. Worried that stock-rom wm6 will "work" too well and they won't check blocks. What about task2a? etc? Any way to install wp7/magldr and partition right so no bad blocks counted in?
Thanks very much.

They will replace just flash stock rom and downgrade back to spl by using the hspl flasher, just select the spl. Call tech support and tell them it keeps rebooting and you reflashed stock rom 5 times. They will send you another hd2 and you'll be back in business.

Step by Step
First I am assuming you are an T-Mobile USA HD2 user.
Disclaimer: THIS WILL RESET YOUR HD2 DEVICE TO STOCK. NO HSPL
If not correct me.
1. www.tmobile.com/wmupgrade (Download the official rom from T-Mobile USA)
2. Once you have downloaded the file, extract the exe using 7z or WinRar. ( Right click on the file and click on Extract to ....) Downlaod Link Attached.
3. Reaname the Ruu_signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh to your micro sd card, put the file in the root directory. (If the phone sits at the bootloader screen, try a smaller size sd card ex. 2GB)
5. With the phone off , hold the Volume Down while turning the phone on. Once you see the Bootloader sceen you can stop holding the buttons. ( Usually it will recognize there is a Flashable Image on the card, If not try again only this time let go when you see a Loading Message .........)
6. The phone will then prompt you to press Press power or some other button to flash.
7. Once your phone restarts go through the prompts if you want to click finish.
8. Put your device back in Bootloader Mode and Download HSPL3 (Attached Below) Next Put your device back in Bootloader Mode and Flash Magldr 1.12 & Windows Phone 7 ( Sure you know these steps, If not readme file included in the file)
9. Make sure the SD card you plan to use is in the device before you flash Magldr and Windows Phone 7. (Most are claiming a 16gb Sandsik Class 2 is working fine)
10. If you having restarts still, post what micro sd card you are using.
11. The problem lies with the Micro SD if you continue to have issues. ( Commong Windows Phone 7 issue)

tried all this, but to no avail. (on a europe htc hd2 512. 2.14.50.04 576 enabled. didnt do exactly as you stated but i did do the hd2 eur. equivalent of the steps) tried 2 microsd cards, the standard 2gb sd card that was in my phone package and a new Integral 8gb class 4 micro sdhc card. as soon as wp7 is flashed the phone reboots, magldr goes into 123456 gogogo! mode and shows dft splash screen. next, screen goes black and phone reboots. phone only loads wp7 1 out of 50 tries (avarage, went through the whole process of flashing, formatting, reflashing, etc. 6 times now) and suffers from random reboots (in sleep mode).
if you want to know how i flash leo70:
either from custom wm6.5 rom or stock wm6.5 rom:
boot in hspl2.08
run task29
flash magldr1.12
usb flasher mode
dwi.exe
>reboot<
magldr > 123456 gogogo!
dft splash screen
screen goes black
htc logo > magldr1.12 > 123456 gogogo!
and again and again until i get lucky and wp7 boots. i go through all settings, phone chevrons easily, phone installs everything easily.
phone battery goes empty/phone random reboots. and goes back into bootloop. when phone finally boots back into wp7 i might either have lost all settings (like a HR) or the phone has actually rebooted correctly and i can continue until the next random reboot. yay me.
any options? is it the microsd card? is it the flashing process? is it anything else i am missing? if it's the microsd card, i am getting an 8gb class 10 sandisk by wednesday so i can then try again. thanks in advance, i really like wp7 so i would love to be able to use it on my hd2.
SD Card
Backup your information.
Format the sd card using windows.
Choose Default Allocation Unit Size
And Fat32
Quick Format
Let me know if this helps.
This happened to me... I am on T-Mo US... i tried everyhting... all roms... hspl... stock... android... bla bla bla... but nothing worked...
and they replaced the phone for me... its your CUP i think... mine was doing it everytime i would turn on GPS or a location based service... If its been less then a year since you bought the phone it should be a free replacement... well for me it was... and if you have insurance... i dont know how its in EU...
My phone keep restarting all the time ....before i flashed new roms and didnt work. Then i took my battery out my phone and put it back and realized that the little hinges on the right side of the sim card was bended and face out so i pushed it back and place the battery correct and phone works perfect make sure you didn't bend the little golden hinges where you set your batter at
phone in wm6.5 (custom rom dutty's ml v12 dutch) > usb mass storage mode
format drive H: (8gb integral microsdhc card) standard settings. fat32 quick format. successful
task 29
successful
magldr1.12
successful
boot into magldr1.12
option 5: USB flasher
LEO70 dfi.exe
successful
reboot into magldr
12456 gogogo!
dft splash screen
screen goes black and phone goes into bootloop. wp7 boots after 6 retries
just in case this time the bootloop is an anomaly i change some settings in wp7 and reboot
once again bootloop. stop after 10 retries without getting into wp7. reverting to wm6.5 and keep searching for fix.
note: during full process 8gb microSD card was plugged into phone.
note2: phone did see 7.23gb of free storage space in settings>about
sadly this too did not work. figure it has to be the micro sd card?
edit: @nemo0405 do not have insurance, phone has always worked properly on wm6.5 never had random reboots nor did it have bootloops. phone was bought december 5th of 2009.
@that nicca it's not a power issue. in wm6.5 i do not have any problem with random reboots or bootloops.
edit2: have yet to try 2.15 radio in stead of my current 2.14. trying now.
result: sadly no changes in bootloop.
^^^ try it bend the 1 golden hing and sit the battery on it where it dont touch and put your phone on you gonna see your phone restarting every min .....i had that problem try it see if it works
Try to charge your phone straight 24hrs.that fixes the issue for me.

Go back and put the original stock rom back in, Then start again. You only need a 2gb micro SD. Dont know why everbody is using 16g? Its only used at booting in the Leo70 ROM. Use HSPL2 and change 2.08 to HSPL 2.08. Now put in the radio. I used 2.15.50.14. Now while still in bootloader mode, put in mgldr, and then when you see the menu, tab down to 5 and enter. once you have the gogogo and then Usb..Usb now flash in LEO70 rom. Now do you still have the loopy booty? If so, remove battery and re-insert. Looping stopped? If so go and set up the phone. If still loopy, remove battery again, now take out the sd card, put batt back in. Loopy stopped? If so set up phone. and if it sets up fully, then shut it down and put sd back in. If it goes loopy, then its the sd card. Make sure sd is formatted (FAT) before hand.
Let me know

After a task 29, flash first MAGLDR 1.11 then 1.12 ...or flash directly a stock rom. I remind that i read somewhere that MAGLDR 1.12 is an update of 1.11.
Remember too, that some sd cards seem to be incompatible with WP7. I have used a 16gb Kingston class 4 micro sd and an Adata 32gb class 2 sd card. These both seem to work. Check the thread about sd card compatibility, you might find your answers there.
Cheers...
If you phone keeps restarting AFTER you have installed NAND WP7 then your micro sd card is incompatable with Windows Phone 7. Most kingston and sandisk cards seem to work but generic and other brands can have problems which match yours. Reformatting the card wont really help, you need to get a sandisk card (you can pick up a 16GB card for about £18 on ebay) and it should work fine.
Remember though that if you use a new micro sd card that you will need to reinstall WP7 via Magldr as once WP7 has been flashed it sets up the card you have in your phone in a special way and therefore you CANNOT hotswap cards after that.

dude surely it can't be that easy for get a free phone ?
if everyone phoned and said they had 5 unsuccessful attempts of fixing an hd2 and got a new one everyone would have multiple hd2's and htc would die !!!

HI all. I am the OP and doing wp7 'hspl'/flasher/kitchen with other devs too; sorta know what I am doing (to a degree anyway, otherwise I pretend I know ).
Anyway THAT is what I am doing: it is being fixed at factory now: WARRANTY. No - they dont give out free phones - but 5 flashes story makes sense! I did this before even reading that post (told them did stock RUU many times). and yes, they should REPLACE your phone under warranty. also: no, not tmous and no, Sd card fine. Thanks for all response but tried everything mentioned here guys except 24 hours charge constantly. That I shouldve given a GO at least before sending in maybe. ???. Battery gets very HOT. (magldr!). battery pins are fine; done everything possible; incl task 28, 28 55aa, 29.
I even tried flashing with dwi.exe with 0kb partxx.bin files to 'clean' it as suggested here and even did task2a and recovered it with stock rom+spl (there are ALWAYS ways if you keep trying and never give up) and even done own JTAG!
Couldnt figure it out in the end as it just freezes/loops on DFT screen or ANY droid screen. Sometimes even reboots on SPL screen! dangerous hey!!!!!!!!!! (omg). even when watching cpu direct. ROM doesnt matter. multiple sd cards tried. either is BadBlocks, CPU, or contacts somewhere shorting maybe.
Ideas still appreciated PLEASE but they should replace it with new or at least new motherboard(+processor+ram) under oem warranty- thanks all. .

Thank you very much!!!
This works, but I didn't bother extracting the t-mos rom, I just installed it using the tmobile application that came with it.
I had 16gb sandisk (the one that came with the hd2) and I had no problems for 3 days. Before this I major problems pop up shortly after the first day.
Anyway, I just received my sandisk 32gb class 2, and I'm redoing all this hoping that it would work with this card as well.
Again Thank You!
Update: My 32gb class 2 Sandisk is running great!
Cheers!
