Is it possible through MTTY to erase the OS and radio rom but leave the bootloader? For warrenty reasons I need to leave the boot loader (still vodafone) but remove WM6 and the new radio rom.
Thx!
Or alternative, is it possible to only flash the OS? I believe my NAND is faulty since what ever radio rom I apply it crashes at the same stage.
I have got bootloader SPL-1.09 at present.

Hi !,
I'm tryin upgrade ROM with Siemens+ATT A3.0.9 (pocket pc 2002 to WM2003).
Manage to burn it to SD (inside XDA) with XDATool.
Then do hard reset..but bootloader 6.22 just ignore the SD and not
give option to load the new ROM inside the SD.
I found an opinion : to downgrade the bootloader to 5.15...but I hope
to maintain the 6.22 bootloader unless it is really need to downgrade the bootloader. Furthermore I don't know to patch or downgrade the bootloader
Here is my device info :
ROM version 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date 07/30/03
Radio version 4.21.01
Protocol version 32S54
Bootloader 6.22
So what should i do ? hope for assistance from somebody.
Try using XDAtools to directly flash your ROM ... if worked it will update your boot loader to 5.15
Ok, the main problem is that I have bootloader 6.22 as well and foolishly have upgraged to the T-Mobile Rom.
Since then I have tried using the Kitchen to make a "B" type rom but to no avail.
Plus since this rom has been isnatlled it will no longer accept any different types of Rom other than that of a "B" type rom. I can't even use the pther "Programme A / B" to flash my rom
so in other words. I am stuck until I can find a way to change the header string on a rom. or to find a way to download a "B" type rom.
Please note. I tried putting a "B" Type rom in to the header string section of the kitchens and it cooked it... But still isn't recognised by my device.
Hi
today wanted to flash my PVT32A with the new Taiwan rom with Sense .
I got the rom.zip file from htc , unzipped it and the just got dumb! tested to flash the new radio only (bad habit from old WM days)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
went well and then I restared the device
===> boot loop
I said OK! then I flashed it one more time
same command
Fastboot uploaded the radio.img to the phone and then the phone started to write it and just there the screen goes black!!!
I have the eng spl s-off
I tried to flash the old radio ===> SAME RESULT!
i testet fastboot erase radio
and then flashed again with same result.
any suggestion ? you don't need to explain every thing as a very very short hint/instruction will be appreciated too!
Edit
Fastboot boot recovery.img boots up and the menu comes up , one sec later it reboots!

I had this problem too, i "solved" it by flashing 3.03 from the .exe file... Now i am however stuck on a new perfect spl and no root... (but a good rom never the less)
Please move this thread.
Make room for the ROM development...thanks.
I'm a linux user and wife's Vista just don't want to work! will test .
If any body have another way to do this( avoiding p-spl) please tell!

I think it has to do with rom devel. as I was testing and still am testing the new rom and radio ... to release TheNano ROM to Swedroid Swedish android community
tried to install from the exe file, the updater cant find the phone as it is only starting in recovery mode.
Is there any information about what steps the update utility takes to do the actual update so I can do them by hand .
what is the boo_special.img file for ?
hey, guys ... any suggestion?

Hello everyone. I'm in need of a radio zip for a phone where i cannot use fastboot procedure but i can use a recovery. I cannot find on google a signed ready for recovery flash system a zip wich contains 3.22.23.18 radio. Can anyone provide? Thank you very much
just curious - why can't you use fastboot? It's a lot safer to flash radio in fastboot, so why don't you just flash an engineering SPL first?
it was done the update to the new radio, and it has nand locked (writte protected) as many of you already know about it , So even after installing a SPL ENG, it continues to be SIG ON. It is needed a radio so that i can flash it on the recovery Thats why i cant use fastboot on that phone.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I've heard the command to unlock (S-OFF) the SPL 1.76.2007 is
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
never had to use it myself though.
I think downgrading to old radio and spl in this situation may prove to be a very bad idea - it probably can't be done safely from recovery, and even if you manage to do it without bricking, you may still have S-ON in fastboot (and the old-radio compatible SPL doesn't support the oem command above IIRC).
that comand worked only to reactivate SD card. not of turning SIG OFF. I tried but didnt work.
Damn, then that makes it yet another issue which nobody has solved though many claim it is solved, and some even claim it doesn't exist at all. Like the issue of GPS not working on old-radio custom roms.
hehehe but it exists. IT is on 4 people wich i've identified in portuguese handcets.
Should the device be CID unlocked as well to flash a custom Rom / Different Language ROM?
the phone works with any SIM so i assume it is SIM unlocked. But not sure whether its CID. Dont know how to check either..
I am trying to flash a Rom with a WWE (Originally Italian). Hard Spl flashed successfully, and the new WEE Rom also flashed successfully (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5822694&postcount=2)
But then the phone boot halfway through and returns back to the Boot loader mode and displayed the message "Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center."
Is this because the phone is CID locked? where can i get it CID unlocked??
I managed to boot the phone back after flashing an Italian ROM. But still i need to Flash a WWE ROM.. Please Help..
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Hi guys, I did something stupid. Trying to get cyanogen mod on a phone with 6.xx radio. I downgraded the radio to a version 3 radio and failed too boot or load amon recovery (due to an spl radio mismatch). After trying to flash a 6.xx radio through fast boot (which crashed everytime). I tried flashing the rogers RUU update again (stupid!). While flashing the radio portion of the ruu update, the device crashed again. This time however, I can't use fastboot commands, because the stupid rogers ruu installed perfected spl again. All I can do now is flash signed RUUs, which crash while flashing the radio. Is there anything I can do to fix this device? Thanks very much in advance.
Nick.
Hello
Thread moved to specific device section
I think you'll benefit more from the members over there
I'm in the same boat. Phone is stuck at the RUU screen. When I run any of the RUU updates they all fail during the radio flash.
