Hi guys, I'm a bit new to the whole ROM flashing thing on PDAs, anyway, I have an XDA Orbit and I've been trying to update it, but I'm afraid no sucess! It re-sets and shows the RGB screen (3 colours) and then begins to update, but only gets to 5% before giving me an error saying the image is corrupt. I've downloaded two ROMs from here (Touch 1.0WWE and WM6 Premium 1) but neither will work.
Any ideas?
Cheers guys.
did you run the uspl first or is your ipl allready 1.11.0000
I ran whatever the step one batch file did.
Same problem

I have the exact same problem. My phone is CID-unlocked and I could few weeks ago flash a WM6 firmware and then flash back the original WM5 firmware. Unfortunately, since this time, I can not flash any other firmware. I does not work. The update process stops at 3% and I get the same error message (image corrupted).

You should have read the instructions before trying the upgrade. ROM upgrade goes first, then the radio stack. I don't know if there's something you can do yourself to fix your device, or if you need to have it reflashed by your supplier. Anyone else?

Hi,
Seems like you are another of the many victims who got problems
after trying to upgrading new ROM & Raidio stack. Hope you still
got that warrant and get it replaced with a new one. Otherwise
you might have to try what some crazy guys do here trying to fix
it by doing all sort of bootloader etc.. Hope those who are trying
to get the upgrade ROM and Radio stack be very careful and make
sure your device are from the same supplier or distributor where
you got the new upgrade. Otherwise it will be screwed. Dont learn
your lesson the hard way.
same problem here.
i've got the O2 NL XDA
downloaded the 3.15 and radio updates from O2 NL website
installed updates as per instructions
1st update went without a hitch
2nd update totally screwed my xda.
now it takes a long time to start up, and when it does it just displays a white screen with a blue taskbar.
tried the bootloader way of flashing the rom, but still no luck
luckily I can send it back in to O2 to have it fixed.
I may try to do it by backup up another XDA, and reflashing mine.
Same prob with me..
I've got exactly the same problem. I downloaded the Rom update 3.15 and the new radio update. First I installed teh Rom update and after a hard reset I "installed" the radio update.
While updating the XDA hang and I waited for about ten minutes to see if the XDA was really hanging. I gave the XDA a hard reset but then the XDA didn't work anymore (white screen and blue bar on top).
I can still access the bootloader. I installed a Rom from a XDA which still works. Still no difference. When I tried to write the Radio rom to a sd-card I got that message that I have to connect one or another RS cable.
The XDA still doesn't work anymore. I have contacted O2 but they told me that they couldn't help me because they can't find my IMEI number in their system. I contacted the company where we ordered all the XDA's but I still don't have an answer.
Thank you O2 for being so nice with not helping me out with my one week old XDA without any scratch. I hope my XDA could be replaced as soon as possible since the XDA will not sold anymore when O2 changes to Telfort !
If you can make the ROM update work, you should be able to install the corresponding radio as well.
Try this:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of ActiveSync (=3.6)
2. Make sure the battery is fully loaded.
3. Extract the ROM update and Radio update to different folders.
3. Connect the cradle to AC-adapter and computer.
4. Put the device in the cradle and make sure it connects to ActiveSync.
5. Run the ROM installation application. Should take 5-6 minutes.
6. Run the radio installation. IMPORTANT: When you are prompted to remove power supply, pull the power plug from the cradle. If you do not disconnect power, the update will fail. I think this update took a little more time than the ROM update, and the device may seem "dead" for a while.
Good luck!
Hy Guys.
Are there any news about the problem flashing the XDA?
Tried last night to update my XDA to the last Qtek-Versions (ROM 3.16.52.....)
ROM Update works fine, but after the RSU Update the phone didn't work any more.
Have the same white screen with the blue taskbar and the little keyboardicaon down the right side.
Entering Bootloader mode there comes the Error Message "GSM Error"
Nice screen is the qtek "Booting Screen".
It shows
G <empty>
R <empty>
3.16.52
Hope there are any other hints to resolv this problem.
Have anyone got some experiences with sending it back to O2 with an "unoffical" Softwareversion?
Or is there any posibility to change the ROM Version to an old (original) O2-RomVErsion?
Thanks for any help....
Regards
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
I would suggest to try upgrade you device with any XDA ROM version by bootloader's CE to SD backup/restore and after try again to upgrade RUU by PC.
I know that upgrading/degrading by bootloader is the more safety way to do it.

Riccardo

SD-Card Writer just orderd
But I don´t know if it will work. Since the Bootloader says GSM Error, I think there will be no other posibility to restore it.
Let´s wait for some days, hope and we will see.....

I haven't done this before so I want to make it right for the first time.
My friends XDAIIi can not make calls (flight mode on all the time and can not be turned off) after WM6 rom upgrade (which I think was for Himalaya only) by some cell phone shop.
Now how do I upgrade the rom to a working one or at least put back the original rom?
What file/s do I need to download? I don't have a cradle just a USB for connecting to ActiveSync which I think serves the same thing as the cradle. Do I need to reflash it first? How do I do that? What files do I need?
Thanks in advance.
Help!
Anyone?
Okay after about an hour or so searching I found this rom -> http://www.maxishare.net/en/file/37...-1-04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed-rar.html but after completing the first stage (I guess because for a moment there a quick glimpse of Stage 2 dialog box) I will get this error
Error 113: Extended ROM Update Error
And I repeated the process aboput 10 times with no luck.
Anyone care to point me to another rom that I can try?

right i usualy flame ppl for this, but as it was not you or your m8s fault:
1- got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306600 and download the firmware
2 - make sure the phone is Fully charged
3 - put the phone in its cradle on a PC that running xp home or pro ONLY it will not work on vista. helps if you have activesync (u can get it from M$) then follow the instructions with the firmware. the program u want is called maupgrade.
4 - it will almost definatly fail the first time you run the updater (if its inactive for more than 15 mins, nothing changing on the updater screen as it should say its updating somink or other), DO NOT PANIC!! close the updater and run it again it will say no firmware found or anything it will work perfectly this time.. total time for update is 30~ mins.
BANG u have a working phone again hopfully!
"1- got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306600 and download the firmware" -> This has exactly the same firmware/file/rom as this right -> http://www.maxishare.net/en/file/37...-1-04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed-rar.html right?
Anyways I am still downloading it tho it has the same file name I downloaded 3 days ago. Just like what I've said I already tried it (maupgrade) and followed the instructions and I think I only finished the first stage then it gave me the Error 113: Extended Rom update error
How bout an original ROM? Maybe somebody can give me the link because most of the links I found for original rom's are dead already.
Thanks.

Yes I am using XP. Anyones know where I can find original rom? Maybe I can try that.
BTW, just for the sake of seeing the whole process of rom flashing, I did upgrade my Himalaya (XDAII) last week to WM6 using rom for XDAII of course and it was successful. Now I only did that to see how it works but I'm sticking to WM6 for my XDAII but I still don't know what to do with my friends XDAIIi and revert it to working rom.
Hi all
OK, my screen alignment on HD is so messed up i went to downgrade my HD HTC (1.56 Olinex -W6.5Miri) back to its original Orange SPL and OS so i can send it back to HTC under warranty.
Foolishly I changed the HSPL first to original stock so it is now a SPL 1.14.000 (no olinex or anything) in bootloader.
I went to then flash ROM to latest Orange HTC OS release from xda (compatible with that SPL) and just got the 262 error.
So, I have a big problem...
1. I cannot flash any ROM from bootloader - error 262 problem - hangs on 0%
2. I cannot cook a new HSPL in any way - error 262 problem
3. Ive got green screen and cannot in anyway load SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and then run it (which normally fixes the 262 error)
4. Ive got green screen so my phone doesnt work
5. tried hard reset - now hangs on loading new OS in green screen
Is it bricked? Is there any software I can use to force reload of HSPL? is there anything i can do in green screen? I figure my aim is to get the phone back to 1.56 and start over again. FYI am using W7 on pc but uploaded new drivers etc.
Very curious to see if folk out there have any ideas...
Cheers in advance

You should still be able to flash your original stock rom unto your device and then follow proper methods to flash latest stock
thanks. i am frantically looking for a copy. i did download one from rapidshare but was only an upgrade. however the good news is it did start to install (ie got to 1%) which means some movement. if you anyone can advise where to get basic orange rom for 6month old HTC HD then let me know. ill keep searching...
ah a grain of hope...

I realise you must deal with a lot of panic "BRICKS!" Not one to flap but exhausted all my knowledge. And as usual the solution was a simple one and not desperately technical.
FYI: The ROMs didnt work but went to actual Orange site and downloaded their exe file ROM and it went straight as if a normal upgrade.
Thanks for prompting me in the right direction. You just saved me £400!

No worries, thats what we're here for!
Dear all,
First of all, many congratulations for the great forum and thanks for all the support given here.
Now, I recognise that problems similar to mine have been discussed elsewhere, so I apologise for opening a new post, however with all the material that I could find, I got a little bit lost, so here is the story.
Some 5 days ago, the screen on my HTC Elf stopped responding to any sort of touch. The green, red and action buttons were working but no touch screen.
I have read several posts, and concluded that one possible problem was a corrupted ROM, so I downloaded latest Onyx ROM and installed it. Phone was upgraded successfully and screen started to work again.
However, the first time I switched it off and then turned it on again, it did not boot up. It gets to the point where it displays Smart Mobility and then switches itself off. The orange light then comes on for about 6-7 seconds, then off for 1-2 seconds, and then on again......
Now it does not seem to be able to charge, but if I switch it on with the camera button on I am able to get to the ROM screen (the 'rainbow screen'), so I have hope that it is not dead.
What can I do to attempt to revive the phone please? Is there a sort of 'format' that can be given so that one can start flashing ROM, etc. from scratch?
Many thanks.
PS: Except for the above, I consider myself as a total beginner in this area.
Hearing that the touchscreen started working again after flashing the ROM, I would conclude it's a software-issue.
In the rainbow-screen, what SPL does your phone run? If it ends with 'cmon', you've installed HardSPL. That means you can flash your phone from the rainbow-screen. Given that your phone won't boot, you should try to flash a new ROM from the rainbow-screen. But first, you have to confirm that you've installed HardSPL.
Good luck!
@mrqips - many thanks for your reply.
The screen says that:
IPL 2.20.0002
SPL 1.11.0000

Sorry Buddy.. It seems that you didn't use HardSPL, unfortunately you won't be able to flash any other ROMs..
Yet.. You might be able to use the Gold Card Method.. Give it a try and see what would happen..
Another point is.. I'm very interested to know how did you flash Onyx ROM.. without using HardSPL nor USPL (as obvious from your IPL), I would say that you used the "White Screen Method" which is by the way.. the least safest way..
Hope That Helped...
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually, I happened to be reading the post by @sbettencourt in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595856&highlight=smart+mobility
Here, a step-by-step approach is given to recover the phone:
"1º [PRJ] Unbricker ROM discovered (wildcard CID and Model ID)
2º Pick any shipped ROM from this thread:
If you have one P3450 -> here
If you have one P3452 -> here
After this, with luck and good work you recover the phone...
3º Then you must do CID_Unlock... You can search how to do it on Wiki or if you want i got one steps how to do it right here and you can see one video with cid_unlock on my signature..." (pasted from the thread)
I did Step 1, and updated it with the unbricker ROM using romupdateutility, and the phone was recovered! It could load, get to Windows Mobile, etc.
Then, unfortunately, when I did Step 2 (mine is a P3450) so I downloaded a ROM from the page indicated, I tried to update the shipped ROM using romupdateutility, but as soon as it got to 2% it failed saying that the vender ID is invalid.
Now, I don't seem to be able to update it with anything - not even the unbrick ROM. What a shame I almost go there.....

You put the shipped ROM in the same folder with RUU??? Why??? You don't need to do that...
You only need to double click on shipped ROM and the installation process begins...
@sbettencourt,
actually yes what I did was to click on the update directly.
I downloaded the file RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1R_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_RED_Ship_Reduced.exe and executed that directly.
However, now, even this one is stopping at 2%.
Is there any hope, or have I destroyed the phone?
Thanks.
If you can't flash the Shipped ROM, you have now to try the Gold Card... Follow the steps in that Gold Card thread...
Hello everyone,
I finally managed to revive the device, by flashing it with a 'correct' shipped ROM, which did not give any errors on updating. Big thanks for all your support - you are the best!
As this starts to get addictive, and because I am now running a ROM version which dates to 12/11/2007 (2.27.468.1B WWE), what are the suggestions for upgrading the ROM please? My device is an ELF0100.
Thanks again.
Coool Now try to keep him alive
Very true
I managed to flash it with Onyx Ultimate 4.8 (10/07/2009) and it seems to be performing splendidly.
Thanks for all your help.
Good Job
My problem here is that I just cannot get out of bootloader. NO ROM OR RADIO WILL INSTALL ON MY DEVICE.
I've tried using goldcard and attempting numerous .nbh files and each time the update fails on the Radio_V2 part. I've also tried updating with the standard and custom RUUs and these always fail at 91%. the RUU always says 'Error 270....update error...the image file is corrupted' no matter which ROM I use.
Updating the radio only stalls at 96% and gets stuck there.
Currently my bootloader says 'Update ROM code error Please try again. See the attached photo for a screenshot. I am able to connect to a pc ok and run updates.
Ive also tried a hard reset, which WORKS but still doesn't boot up the device.
Can anyone help here? If not it looks like my HD2 is going on eBay for spares!
My SPL is version 1.42
Why is yours 0.67????
I've no idea bro, it's an eBay purchase from before the general release of the device.
I hear the hacked hardspl and sspl is nearly done so maybe this will help you to upgrade the rom?
Have you checked you have not brought some prototype or something as your spl version is way out.
Hope you get it fixed very soon.
How can it show the "SECURITY UNLOCKED" while there is no cid unlock for this device?
How did you do it?
There is something wrong with you..
And an interesting point: your bootloader is different from mine, my updare process shows % progress in number and HTC logo behind the progress bar, yours is different..

i think he as used some hd stuff,not compatible with leo of course
maybe because it's a pre-release (prototype) unit you can't update it to a newer rom
it does sound like a prototype...
shouldnt need gold card.
have you tried flashing from sdcard without gold card in there?
try talking nicely to cmonex to see if she can help?

This looks like corrupted sectors in your device, try mtty, I think i seen similar problem before in herm or diamond

try flashing without NK.nbf
Try flashing without the radio upgrade by removing the file mentioned in
the title (nk.nbf) from the folder where RUU.exe is exectuted (you might need to hunt fot the install files in the temporrary directories in your computer. The temp files are created after clicking the update.
Anyway, you're a senior You'll know what to so.
If there's no separate radio file for you, I would try taking the batt out,
then do a hard reset.
Peculiar !
Info
Try to flash using an official rom!! If You stil don't get through take off the battery for a couple hours then try again!! But If all this don't help, you'd better try to reflash with the rom you had previously
You used a MFG SPL = Developer SPL. Ask cmonex in the IRC for help. She works with the developer spl for hacking the spl.
good luck
Connect your phone to the PC using MTTY.
Send "set 14 0" (without quotes) and then task 8 to reboot.
Try if it works.

Don't use it for spareparts..
I'm assuming you bought the phone?... Send it for repairs, they don't ask what you did. Just say you did a hard reset and this happend.. Believe me, they don't care at the repair shop (for sure @ eurotwice.be), great service they pickit up @ your door If you lost the receipt p.m. me
