White Bootloader Screen

My unit is working fine..can make receieve calls etc...
Am running on Meschle's 2.11 lite....hard reset fine everything fine...
When I try to upgrade to the full version - Gives me error...Connection.check cradle etc...
Tried Official ROM - same problem
Tried Manual Bootloader - goes into a white screen and hangs...then after 4-5 minutes i see the colored screen with IPL 3.04.0001 and SPL 1.11.000...
if I reset goes back to the ROM that was there on it...works fine...
Did I just brick my phone?
Not that I am not happy with it...but then why the Bootloader and flashing is not working?

Try the official dopod version from here.
NOTE: it will change ipl, spl and gsm radio versions.
After that run uspl again before tryin any other rom

Hi Nikmei, do you need to tun uspl first before flash the official dopod rom, thanks

This method is only for an extreme case like when you can’t boot!
Do not use this method for update w/out the uspl.

thanks , when i try to run upsl it got to 70% the the screen turn off and a pengune picture, what should i do now, thanks

If you really want to flash your pda then you better hard reset it then uspl will work for 100%.
Normally if you run uspl you should get a blank screen and after that you can goon with the update wizard.

NikMel, i have the dopod m700, try to run the upsl few times before flash to wm6 rom, every time it went to 70% the screen went off, please help

I can't tell you for sure if this procedure will work for your pda.

NikMel,

I just ordered a new mobile device yesterday because I thought I had bricked my device.
Fortunately I found this post and was able to reflash the device with this rom. So I have cancelled the order.
Thank you so much!!!
I would love to donate to you if you have paypal

If you would then send it to this forum.
Sorry but I dont know how you can do it.

Recommended re flashing to official roms?

Everyone says it is always safer to flash an official rom between custom rom installs, but when I do, it changes my radio and ipl/spl to an undesirable version.
Is there an official nk.nbf file without the radio or ipl/spl available that I can use? I searched all over, even wizard wiki, but cant seem to find any.
Thank You in advance!

I will upload the T-Mobile Official Rom without IPL/SPL/GSM shortly. I can even leave out the Official Splash screens if you like. Just let me know and it will be done.
EDIT:: Rom is uploading as we speak. Rom includes T-Mobile Official WM5 OS, HTC screen, Splash screen, Extended Rom.
Removed from Official Rom:: GSM/IPL/SPL>> Link Will be added shortly.

Wow, thanks dharvey! Splash screen omitting not necessary.
Thank You for your assistance!

Here it is.
This is the Official T-Mobile WM5 Rom exactly as it would come on a brand new T-Mobile MDA only this version has the IPL/SPL/GSM removed so that you do not have to re-flash the 3.08 IPL/SPL and your custom radio every time you upgrade.

Downloading now..
Thanks again!

I did this as much for me though as I did it for everyone else. When it comes to flashing new roms, I must say I am an addict and I like to have a clean base to start from before flashing a new rom and this is perfect because I don't have to reflash my IPL/SPL and GSM every time.
Hopefully someone will upload that to ftp so everyone can access it easily.

CUbe and Bioscroll

Hi
I don't want to install a whole new rom at this time
I am using the O2 UK WM6 Rom
WHats the best version of cube, htc home and scroll to install please
I've been searching but there seems to be loads of variations
I want to try this before going down the new Rom route

i have been where u are now
a word of advice m8 these developers know what they doing and if u upgrade that 02 rom it will slow to a halt thats why they tweak the whole thing to make it run well
i installed a rom 2 daays ago and it was 2 clicks they compiled everything together unzipped folder and click this then click that took 20 mins and the cube is flowing nicely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298&highlight=Artemis+Touch+3.01+full
theres what i used it even has all the extras built in alternative networks etc only thing i added was htc to get custom tabs i like cartoonie ones
hope that helps
Also im a noob user not an expert found it easy

I would pm meschle to ask him about his roms, but right now I dont wanna bother him w/ petty material questions. Meschle, I wish the best for you and your family.
So if anyone else w/ experience can help here's my question:
I downloaded his Artemis 3.01 Touch lite ROM and unzipped file. Now what do I do? Do I need to install the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS cabs before going to step 1? Do I need to run Artemis_USPL first seperately? I borked my SMT5600 trying to put a WM6 rom on it and am very weary of doing it to my precious Artemis.
If anyone could help w/ simple instructs also thanks.
BTW,
My phone is
ARTE100
WM5
ROM 1.12.405.1 WWE
Radio 02.67.90

the Touch ROMs, when unzpped has 2 bat files. It's clearly named "step1", "step2".
Just follow. Shouldn't go wrong. Step1 is actually the USPL.

Ok got it to work but, man, what a wild ride. It's really fast and I recommend doing this ROM update rather than trying alot of cabs.
Hays, its well worth just doing the ROM update. If you use Meschle's ROMs, they are fast and soo stable.

so, is there a way of installing bioscroll/cube without changing the ROM? I can't use the USB cable to connect to a PC (i have to copy cabs onto Micro SD, then install). My USB circuit has blown up from charging in the car so syncing no longer works, and phone is out of warrenty!

i meant that i cant change the ROM, so i would need to install it onto the ROM i am using (standard T-Mobile WM5 ROM)
Is this possible? if so, could someone link to the files/thread, i have searched but not found seperate files, only ROMs.

[Resolved] Please Help Me - Device Bricked ?

Hi,
I tired flashing udk syrius r0.
during the flash i got an error messege about the communication.
now my device is stuck in bootloader mode :
"pola100
spl-1.25.0000
cpld-2"
i am using vista ultimate.
i tired re-flashing 3 other roms but i can't because the device is not being recognized.
i tried using mtty but i keep getting "usb port can not open" no matter what i do. i tired uninstalling the mobile center and nothing helps.
i tried flashing through the microsd and its not working as well (its in "loading" for over 30 minutes.)
1. is my device bricked?
2. what do i need to do to get my device back ?
thanks in advance

That's happens because you don't read before, before flashing a non-Official ROM you need to install the Hard-SPL.

It is not bricked. You can repair it by yourself. Just use SEARCH function! Please do not ask questions that have been answered hundreds of times. It is really not polite to do that to people using these forums.

There are some sticked thread, take a look.

how hard is it to install a radio rom

how hard is it to install a radio rom
i have tmobile touch pro 2 ...usa
has anyone got a write up
on the install
im not that much of a techie
i have read alot of threads to get up to speed
but my technical skill are not that good
please help

They are very easy, follow the same steps as flashing a rom, thats it!! Must be Hard-spl then just run the curtomruu.exe

Yeah, as husker91 says, just pretend you're flashing a ROM. It's very easy. Just follow all the steps, don't skip any steps, and make sure you follow all the directions!
Here's a pictorial, if you need it. This pictorial is a ROM-flashing guide, and it's pretty much how you flash a radio-rom.
*However, I do believe this should have been posted in the Radio thread OR at least the ROM development sub-forum.

Very easy as stated above
Don´t forget to vote!

what is (curtomruu.exe )
also what rom do you guys recomend for the tmobile touch pro 2..us.
which works pretty good

well as far as roms goes.my way is just grab one and flash everybody has likes and dislike .you wont know till ya start flashing different ones.it gets addictive but i love it .i would suggest this rom for your first one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 it's stable and fast. i am on it right know ,plus i have a tmobile tp2.usa .so just follow the instructions and flash it .once you get the hang of it you will be flashing alot.just have to find one that you like ,that meets what you want to do with it! it's very easy to do ! well good luck man!the customruu.exe is the progam that will install it into your phone from your computer . it's already in the zip file you download. when you unzip the file you download you will see it !this rom if i remember right ,after you unzipp it you will see a file named flash open it you will see the customruu .well just follow instructions from above you will get it .i know it's scary at first but just be confident. also when you go to flash it from computer make sure all programs are closed and don't open any while you are flashing it .that way nothing mess with it while it's installing .

when i install it will it be put in my programs menu

if you are talking about the customruu.exe no it won't .it's built in to the rom's package itself.you won't see it on your phone.just see it on computer after you unzip .

Customruu.exe is the file you launch while your phone is synchronized to the PC. By using customruu.exe, your PC is transferring the new radio-rom data onto your phone (it's upgrading the radio-rom as this happens).

No, the radio-rom is a software upgrade. Hence, it won't be a program. It'll just be there in your phone (just like how you hardsSPLd your phone, that doesn't show up as a program).

cool ....theres so many to choose from, any more tips before i go to the rom section

My tip from my own experience: Try as many of them (radio-roms and ROMs) as you can!
Purpose: if you try as many as you can, you will eventually find one that will suit your needs. If you stick with one radio-rom or one ROM, you might not know what you're missing out on with others!
*Radio-roms depend on ROM and location. Not every radio-rom will be the same. I've tried 6 radio-roms, and I ended up with .17 being the best for me. So, try them and see which one is best for you.*

Nope. Radio-roms only determine your phone capabilities (signal strength, data connections, and battery life).
Your Today screen only changes with custom ROMs. Custom ROMs change your Today screen to whatever it comes with.

HardSPL voids your warranty. Reflashing everything stock and the stockSPL will validate your warranty again.

Radios
Most radio come with custom ruu and are as easy as double click to install.
.88 seems to work best for me.
Good luck.
