Hello every 1
I am trying to upgrade my Radi STack (RSU)
I have an excutable file with the new RSU. When I ran, it takes me through few steps where at the end my XDA is rebooted and I get a button on my screen that says "Start" to start the upgrade process. When I press it, after few seconds I get a get an error message saying "Falsh Failed". When I press Ok (what else?!), The XDA is rebooted again and the process is repeated. If I do a format for the XDA, things go to normal.
DOes any 1 know what is going wrong here and how to fix this?
THX
Which ROM do you have? Which ROM are you trying to install? Etc.
I have 3.18.04 and R3.23.01 for the RSU and bootloader 5.22
I am trying to install the RSU 4.16
Also, when I have tried to install the XDA speciall ROM, it didn't work where after I see the screen "Upgrading" on my screen and the upgrading window on my computer asking me to wait for about 5 minutes, the activsync link is disconnected.
It is not clear to me what is the problem, is it the ROm, the bootloader or what?
Hi all,
This is my first post :x
I downloaded the ROM (4.00.10) from the kitchen. At first, I downloaded EXE file but when I start upgrading my Qtek reboot and nothing happen, I tried many times. I read about upgrading via SD. I did upgrading without any problem. BUT when it finish upgrading, my device won't start. It hangs-up at splash screen and showing ROM version and Radio Version only. I tried many many times with no success.
I need some help please
my device info:
ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM date: 05/22/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32s54

Model No.: PW10A1
Bootloader 5.22

Thank you in advance

Download again with NB0 then upgrade from your SD.
Download again with nb1 then upgrade from your SD.
Thank you, socheat.
But I did download nb1 and I tried upgrading with the sd method and the upgrading was successfully but my device won't startup it shows only the splash screen ( NOT FOR SALE ** Powered By Micro$oft ** ) and nothing happen after this screen
I restored my old rom (3.18.04 ENG) and the device is working now, but I want to upgrade to WM2003 :roll:
Is that cuz I upgrade the Radio ? my old radio version was 3.25 ( not sure ).
Thank you , All

Got same problem with you Bailamos
My Bootloader is 5.17
Now by XDArit + SD flash + Wallaby patch, I brought my XDA back to 3.20.06 original from O2 already.
Wondering should I downgrade Bootloader to 5.15 or not?
In XDArit it has one upper box which we can put Bootloader in.
Should I put something like "loader515.nb0" in that box during loading OS on SD?????
UP :? Please
update
Please , I need help.
I tried to downgrade my device:
Bootloader 5.22 => 5.15
ROM 3.18.04 => 14.04
I thought it may help upgrading but that complicate the problem!!
NOW , I can't do any upgrade. When I insert the SD card and start booting, it show me the boot screen : PRESS ACTION to start downloading. as soon as I press ACTION it show : GSM OK and nothing happened!!!! It looks like I pressed the exit button ( I PRESSED the ACTION )
The EXE method still not working , the same as before as soon as it shows : 5 min screen , my device restart and it lose the connection with the ActiveSynic
ANY one CAN help ? P L E A S E
Pretty Please
Thank you
yes it will loose sync, but just leave it there!
some times it takes 10 minutes
but it will finish updating, trust me! that worked several times for me.
Thank you , ntabikha.
I'll give it a shot right now.

when my device re-start , the Program ( 1.09 ) show this message:
Can not open a COM/USB Port. Please use Device Manager on PC to make sure that COM/USB port is available and working properly
and terminate immediately after pressing " Ok "
I think there is something I don't know !! but there is someone may know !!
Is that happening cuz I upgraded my Radio Stack ?????????? ???? ???
It was something about 3.xx and it is now 4.21 !!!!!
Hi Guys,
I need your help .
I've downloaded the 4.00.16 ROM by mistake, it really didn't tell the ROM number, so now I want to revert to a earlier one and I can't.
I've got the following message: "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
error getting devicedata" and then "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR. Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected."
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M REALLY STUCK NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

Have you tried doing it without the Wallaby patch part? If not give that a try, no on the bootloader downgrade part!

At the first time, my device was able to upgrade but it freez after finishing the upgrade. Now, it wan't even upgrading !!

Hi, I've only had my xda (wallaby) for 2 weeks and I love it, but I think I've just bust it!
Help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I cooked a 3.71.03 version, saved as executable.
2. Verifed ActiveSync was talking to my XDA.
3. Fired up rom.exe.
4. Programme A dialog box comes up, a few questions and it starts communicating with PDA.
5. PDA screen is wiped and the Upgrading progress bar appears, it will take about 5 minutes ...
6. Then I get an error that the loader cannot communicate with USB port?
PDA screen is left with the Upgrading progress bar message. Rom.exe exited saying: your upgrade is incompatible with your PDA:
Your device: model: PW10A1, ROM 3.17
Your upgrade: PW10A1, ROM 3.16
ActiveSync can no longer communicate with PDA as the upgrade process appears to have wiped ActiveSync on the PDA out.
Tried both soft and hard resetting (many times) but nothing changes.
What next?
I think your only possibility is this:

Thanks Stefan
I had been looking at this, though I don't have an SD device so will have to find one first.
I can't figure out where to get a ROM Image from though, i.e. whatever the file is that I have to put on the Sd card?

2. Remove SIM card and Storage Card
3. When you're booting your phone, go to Bootloader by pressing the "Record key" (left key) and Power key together! Press left ley first and by holding it, press power key!

Many thanks. I keep forgetting to remove the SDHC card when I try to update. This thread helped me out again.....
Hello all,
There are many new users who want to install/upgrade to a custom rom but totally don't know from where they should start. So, they ask the same question again and again in irrelevant threads. Here is a very short guide which will help you to install/upgrade to a custom rom and will hopefully prevent newbie's from asking the same question.
@All New users: There is no problem in asking question and everybody is ready to help you but many ppl just don't go through the pages even tho the question has been answered several times in a single thread.
Things to be known:-
1. Flashing The term flashing means installing or upgrading. When we say Flashing a rom that simple means we are installing the rom. But sometimes you would have seen in forums ppl saying flash Hard spl or so. Here too flashing simply means installing.
2. Basic information On powering up your phone the basic information displayed on the screen are: ONBL version, SPL version, GSM or Radio version and OS version.
For flashing a custom rom we only need to know about SPL for now.
3. SPL Here is the description of SPL by krazy_about_technology,
SPL or Second Program Loader is a part of your phone's firmware. Its responsible for both loading of operating system and it is also used by operating system for some low level tasks. By Default, HTC and Other Manufacturers too, design it in such a way that it does not allows custom ROMs to be flashed in the phone. It does no by checking for the Digital Signature of HTC on roms. So it need to be patched in order to flash custom ROMs made by chefs in this forum.
4. H-SPL As you can see in the above description that SPL are designed in such a way that it doesn't allow you to flash custom roms. So we need a H-SPL ( Hard SPL). When we flash a HSPL it simply patches the current SPL or in other words it unlocks the device for flashing custom roms.
The flashing process
1. Flashing HSPL First flash HSPL, head over to this thread ( here ) for all the instructions and downloads of HSPL.
2. ROM Now after flashing HSPL choose a custom rom. Almost all the custom roms are compressed commonly with winrar or 7zip.
So, if you dont have winrar or 7zip to uncompress the package get any one of them. My suggestion is get 7zip from here.
After uncompressing the custom rom package there are two cases,
Case 1: There is a single *.nbh file, generally the rom file is named as RUU_signed.nbh ( but remember it may be of any other name too, just it will be of *.nbh format ). In this case you need some additional tools to flash this file into ur device.
How to flash the nbh file (this only guides you to flash nbh not unlocking ur device (hspl)
Here is a short method.
1. Download this Installation package (295 kb). here
2. Extract the above downloaded package anywhere on pc (say desktop)
3. Copy the downloaded nbh to the extracted folder. (Here the extracted folder name is Installation package)
4. Double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Thats it!
Case 2: After uncompressing the custom rom package you will see there are additional files with the rom file. These additional files are nothing but the tools required to flash the rom into your device. So in this case you don't need any additional files and you can directly for for flashing.
Flashing the rom:
For XP
1. Download and install Microsoft Activesync 4.5 (the latest) if you don't have it in your pc. It can be downloaded from here.
2. Connect your Device with PC via USB cable. As soon as you connect you would see a pop up window on your device. Probably there will be three options, you have to select the option which is Activesync.
Now you should see in your PC Activesync connected, if it didn't sync open Activesync go to connection setting and select the port through which your device is connected. Now re plug-in your device.
3. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe remember the flashing tool should be in a folder where the rom file is also present. Follow the on-screen instructions. Thats it.
For vista/windows 7
1. Download and install Microsoft Device centre from here.
2. Connect your Device with PC via USB cable. As soon as you connect you would see a pop up window on your device. Probably there will be three options, you have to select the option which is Activesync.
Now you should see in your PC Device center is connected, if it didn't sync open Device center go to connection setting and select the port through which your device is connected. Now re plug-in your device.
3. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe remember the flashing tool should be in a folder where the rom file is also present. Follow the on-screen instructions. Thats it.
Essential thing to be known:-
1. Bootloader mode Knowing how to enter into Bootloader mode is one of the most essential thing to be known for a opal user (windows mobile users).
How to enter?
There are two way to enter into bootloader mode.
1. If you device is on, open your device's back cover. Press the soft reset button ( red button ) using stylus. As soon as you press it, immediately press the volume down button and keep holding it until you see a tri-color screen on your device's screen.
2. If your device is off, press the power button as soon as the device vibrates immediately press volume down button and keep holding it until you see a tri-color screen on your device's screen.
Uses?
If you flashed a damaged rom, you would be no longer able to use your device. In that case enter into bootloader mode. And flash a different rom.
Thanks
Explain the excellent and easy to understand, good work Thank you
Iam glad that you liked it. I hope now ppl will refer this thread and not rom threads. Ppl can ask all the question that they ask on other threads here.
Nice Guide
You've done a great job with this guide. Thanks. I've already referenced it on another post.

but when i started to put the first rom on mi device...opal v 6.5..i have the same problem...can someone explain how to unlock the phone and to have the first rom on my device(opal version 6.5 d25)...pls...
Ruch0 your question is not at all clear, if you want someone to help you then please make it little more clear.
Is your phone sim locked, if so then it is always said not to flash a custom rom.
According to ur question u say u have done hspl and installed a rom then trying to unlock the rom. Here by unlocking do you mean sim unlocking?
to make a better point i want to get rid off the 260 error...because i have found a lots of programs that will sim unlock the phone...
know i am trying to use this:
1. download hardspl v7 from the first post.
2. extract ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh
3. copy it to a microsd card, make sure the card is formatted as fat32
4. download sspl-herm from here
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. you should see the tri-color screen and then it should change to this
8. press power button to start flashing
9. reset when you get the msg that its done.
but i cant start the sspl-herm.exe from my mobile...
LOL, that really made be to laugh. First of all are you sure that you have a HTC Touch Viva (opal) because from your description it is clear that you are using herms and having some probs. Well, my friend this section is ONLY for the device called HTC Touch Viva (opal). So asking here is a total wastage of time.
You should immediately head over to herms section and ask the ppl over there. Visit here.

The main thing you have to check is whether your phone is synced with ur PC via activesync/windows mobile device centre. If you are sure that it is synced then also not working then there might be some other problem.
About remote access don't worry there is a software called Team viewer it will bypass all firewalls.
Yeah, Jagan sorry, I know the team viewer, tomorrow we can use this,
thank you for ur help.

Hi Jagan
I have HTC Touch Viva purchased recently in India.
Software : Win Mobile 6.1 Professional Build : 19971.1.2.6
ROM Version : 1.35.720.2 WWE
Radio Version : 03.37.90
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.74
I tried to update its OS to Win Mobile 6.5 first time.
I followed your instruction in Post 1. But I am unable to do that.
First I tried HSPL 2, but it didn't work. I got 202 error.
I downloaded the ROM from the following Link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629257
ROM update also failed.
While updating, it showed the message like
Current ROM Version 1.35.xx...
New ROM Version : 1.27.xx...
To update the OS to 6.5, I need to do any thing else? Where I am going wrong? Plz help.
ivk: caioofaria has too similar problems that is error 202, its like in some pc its not coming and in some its coming. I will check that out again today in caioofaria's pc.
I will post result of my testing today, if anyone has a suggestion post it here.
For now iam assuming that ivk and caioofaria is not able to flash hspl because of there new default os. I will try to get a solution for this,
But if anyone has suggestion be sure to post it here.
Need Help - Update
Hi Jagan,
Little bit improvement in my problem.
The HSPL completed. Now the spl version : 1.26.0.0
Again when I try to update the ROM, getting Update Error 270.
Tried on different laptops(win 7). But getting the same problem.
Thanks.
No the spl version should be something like this 2.00 cmonex
That means you have done hspl yet. Actually i think i got the prob of the error, when you u try to do hspl and ur screen goes tri color then your pc will or i should say must install a driver it will be something like "Pocket pc syn" if its not doing then hspl will not get flashed. Just one again try to do hspl in windows 7 then when you are in tri color screen see in ur notification area below that some driver is getting installed.
