ROM flash crashes - incorrect version?

Following my post of a crashed flash with 5.17 Wallaby, I have managed 5 hours sleep in 48, downloaded every possible image and tool.
The problem IS NOT IN THE FLASH IMAGE nor is it in the device.
Even with a crashed bootloader "Will take about 5 mins"
the device WILL still talk via USB cradle and ActiveSync, just hit cancel and continue.
But here you say, it complains the image file is of incorrect version with device.
WRONG - THIS IS A WINDOWS REGISTRY PROBLEM
The registry [using XP, not sure of other but assume the same] writes the version of the last flash into the key;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WFlashUtility]
"Flash"=dword:00000001
"Language"="English"
"ModelID"="PW10A1"
"Lang"="ENG"
"Version"="4.00"
"USB"=dword:00000001
"FlashFile"="C:\\Program Files\\XDAtools\\binaries\\English\\\\NK.nbf"
"ExtID"="001"
One only needs to modify the values of "Version" and "ExtID" to match what the image file purports to be, and away you go again.
Apparently my device requires cradling again after hard reset to switch on, another 5.17 funny perhaps?
Anyway it works.
Happy to help anyone struggling with same.

How To: Revert to Windows Mobile 2003

Whats needed:
TyphoonNBFTools: http://w1.whatcounter.com/dlcount.p...yphoonNBFTools_0.3_SPL1010064_SPVServices.zip
Any Official Rom (I used I-Mate SP3 WWE).
A Typhoon running Windows Mobile 5.0.
Reverting Back:
Run TyphoonNBFTools and Open the SPL1010064.nbf. Right click on SPL in the bottom part of the screen and choose Emergency Flash. If this is the first time you have used the program you will get a prompt on your phone to run the runtimes. Choose yes. Click OK to flash the new bootloader to your phone. Next disable Activesync by turning off USB connections. Turn off your phone. While holding down the Camera button insert the USB cable, the phone should run the bootloader and you will be presented with the tri-color screen. It should say USB in the bottom corner. Now run Mtty and choose USB connection. Hit enter in the blank white space. You should now see Cmd>. Type "info 2" without the quotes. You should see some information about your phone. Next type "format BINFS" agains without the quotes. This one is case sensitive. You should see format complete or something along those lines. Now close Mtty and re-enable USB connections. Run the exe from the update you downloaded and follow the instructions. Your phone should now boot back up to WM2003.
For those stuck in bootloader mode you will need to run mtty and reflash the wm5.bin to the phone then follow the steps above.

Man! Can't thank you enough for this. I took my phone to the service centre, willing to pay for the repair, and they could not do it. Every thing works fine now. Very good manual, clear instructions and correct info!
THANKS!

Hi
I Am Trying To Follow The Procedure Mentioned. But When I Right Click On Spl I Am Not Getting 'emergency Flash' Active.
Can U Please Assist Me Regarding This

You need TyphoonNBFTools.dll installed on your phone. Try running TyphoonNBFTools and selecting Tools->Immediate Flash Tools->Test Immediate Flash. It should automatically install the required stuff for you. Check you phone when you run the program. You should get a prompt to installed a program from unknown publisher. Make sure to choose yes.

Stuck in bootloader
Just trying to do this following my question here.
I though it was going well but I have a major problem now! I managed to do the emergency flash, but every time I boot I just get the tricolour bootloader screen (IPL 1.00, SPL 1.01.0064) and can't get any further. Any ideas please? I have tried using mtty to load wm5.bin but get the error "MTTYDownloadImageNot allow operation!"
I have also tried re-doing the "format BINFS" and doing the above again but still no joy.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

maybe u need to make a "goldcard"
my feeler (o2 xphoneII) lives again after flash with goldcard.

I can't find a way to create one for Typhoon, can you point me in the right direction?

I try flash Amadeus = Qtek 8100 with UpdateTool from Qtek 8310.
Update process stopped at 74% , and UpdateProgramm closed.
Now my Qtek 8100 not Powered ON , and can't enter in boot mode (tricolor screen) with "Camera" button hold + USB cable conneting.
PC don't see any USB devices when I connected my Qtek 8100 to USB port.
I think I erased Boot loader in my Qtek 8100 (but not sure).
Is any method for repair ?
WBR !

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! don t let my Universal be DEAD!!!!!!*** HELP ME PLZ!!!

Guys,
I ve just downloaded this http://rapidshare.com/files/21256078..._DUT_11500.rar romversion in the understanding that it was for the HTC 9000 PDA. There was a file called MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe which I let 'upgrade' my 9000. However, I think something very VERY big went wrong! A reset by pushing the 2 buttons and reset button on the back gives me the option 0 to reset but all I can see after that is a black screen which says USB at the top and at the bottom v1.00
What happened and is this the end of my PDA? Sync won t work anymore now since my PDA can t be detected by windows because I can t get in the PDA!!!
Is there something I can do??!!!
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!
Edit/Delete Message

sounds like you're just in bootloader mode
I think you are in what's called bootloader mode. Read the wiki to check - the screen you are describing sounds normal to me you plug you device into the comp via usb (with sync over usb disabled in active sync) then install a new rom.
You really shouldn't have tried to flash your rom without reading some instructions first but I think that your device should be fine.
If you have already upgraded your rom just do a hard reset and select the option to reset.

I'm sorry, this is the thread I ment to link:

strangely enough I found out that I DID use a good version picked from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298020 post. In this thread mwang gives a link to here http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,40,30486,30486#msg-30486 where I picked the dutch version. I than double clicked the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file and the software for upgrading started. When he was at 100% he said the the ROM update was completed and that I had to do a reset. So, I than pushed the three buttons (2x the - button and the reset button at the back of the 9000) but all I than see is the bootloader menu with USB and V1.00...........
Sorry for putting it in three sub forum, my fault, but the device is from my work so I don t want it to be screwed up!!!

Rather late now, but if it's owned by your company for work, should you really be di**ing with it?

Solution to probl: Stuck in Bootloader
The one way of fixing your problems....you're officialy stuck in bootloader,
Here's the way to fix it:
1. Stop Activesync USB connection on your machine under connection settings.
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB ( If your phone isn't in bootloader already..)
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe ( Download from XDA's ftp site or search the forums, I'm sure you'll find it.)
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5.1 Press Enter
5.2 USB> (This will show up)
6. Type: Set 14 0
7. Press Enter
8. Run your rom update again and it should flash this time.

did it start??
did it start?? ?

Hi. first post.
Have an o2 exec. Different brand same deice and none of the other methods worked but finally got it working. Using mtty1.42.exe it would not see usb connection and therefore could not go down that route.
I booted into the bootloader mode that says serial at the top and v1.00 at the bottom.
Connected to the pc and cant remember if i stopped wcescomm.exe or not but you can try both ways.
Then started Midget_1990_v1_0_PU10_WWE.exe rom and followed the instructions and voila.
Hope this helps someone.

"Using mtty1.42.exe it would not see usb connection"
You need to disable the usb connection of active sync under connection settings and then only mtty will pick up a usb connection..

Xphone Froze on O2 Screen After Hard Reset

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but i could not find an answer for this in this section or general section -- The problem is this i upgraded to wm6 from wm2003 and everything was fine then it started it freeze ocationally so i thought i'd give it a hard reset as ther was no where in the tutorial that said that after flashing you could not hard reset now the phone is stuck on the O2 screen where the IPL & SPL are displayed
IPL=1.00 &
SPL=1.01.0109 &
GSM=0.3.28.60
I know the IPL/SPL were at 2.61 before that
Can anyone tell me how to get out of this or is the phone now bricked?

Yes, you cant hard reset because the htccoldboot.dll is not there, its not brick, you got the right SPL, just reflash again, refer to my guide on my siggy

Thanks
great that worked out fine gave me a scare - now it's all back up and runnung apart from the camera

For those stuck with this same problem, please re-flash starting from step 7 of karhoe's instructions to upgrade to WM6.
After installing a few applications and having to reboot, my SMT5600 would not connect via ActiveSync, nor show any network carrier and none of the menu keys worked (Start & Contacts). While troubleshooting I browsed to a forum suggesting I try a hard reset.
Never got a proper hard reset and ended up stuck at the initial screen showing the IPL / SPL / HIVE and Partition info.
Followed karhoe's step 7, with phone turned off, held camera button down and plugged in USB cable. Followed remaining instructions.
Note: the "type 'l c:/os.bin' " step is done in the mtty.exe screen that pops up (and not on your PC's command prompt ).
Thanks karhoe,
Good luck to everyone,
Jawad

PLEASE help unbrick my Orbit2

Arrrrrrrrrrrggghhh
Hopefully my Orbit2 isnt tottally screwed. Now I've updated the ROM on my Obrit I plently of times without running into any problems, so like a fool I thought I would have a go at updating the radio on my Orbit2 so I download HardSPL and the radio, follow the instructions and nothing happens so I read that taking the memory stick out helps.
So again I tried this time it tells me to unplug the USB and connect it again which I do, everything seems to be going fine at this point %bar increasing etc until it gets to 99% and stays there.
What do I do now I cry, next thing that comes up is update error 262 occured and that I should try recovery. So I follow these instructions, pull out the battery and wait before starting it up again.
I get the screen with RED BLUE GREEN says POLA200, SPL 1.25.0000 CPLD-2, I follow the instructions to connect the USB again. So it says error process complete run the update again. So I star over
All I get now is a percentage bar stuck on 0% Plllllllleeeasee can someone kindly help me.
Thank you

Ok so a bit of searching shows error 262 is something to do with activesync, and indeed no active sync connection is being made but is this to do with the fact its stuck in bootloader? if so how do I exit it sorry to sound noobish

Will try to flash original ROM from O2 Orbit2.
If you can enter to bootloader then try flash from him.
And not forget flash HardSpl again.
Good luck.

Thank's Henry, thats one of the things I tried but even that was stuck at 0%
Ok panic stations put on hold for now I guess I was just looking for someones hand to hold and guide me through, but I managed to exit boot loader with that mtty tool and command set 16 0 and task 8.
That will teach me to try not to do something like that just before going to bed lol
Now has anyone sucessfully upgraded the radio on O2 orbit to 1.64.08.21.

sure ... i have.
1. establish a full partnership via activesync (or vista pendant mybe windows update is needed here)
2. update hardspl with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
3. update radio rom or os
everything works fine. done these upgrades stock > bepe 0.63 > bepe 0.64 > bepe 0.65 > Radio 1.64.08.21 > bepe 0.66 > bepe 0.67
just do some research here and you'll find all information you need.
