Flashing through SD

Hi all,
I just my very first PDA a HTC 3300. The thing is it has a portuguese ROM and I would like to install a English ROM. It is CID/Network locked and i tried flashing it via the SD method but with out results.
When I do the bootloader sequence I get a white screen saying checking SD contents and then it goes straight to the 3 colored screen not showing me the screen that is in the wiki site. Can anyone help me with this beginners problem.
Thanks a lot,
FreakyFreak

if is cid locked dont try 2 flash,U'll only brick ur device.buy unlock code from imei-check its worth it

Thanks. I did just that. It was quick and easy. And I've already flashed my device with the original HTC ROM. But I don't like it that much. Do you have any suggestion on which one to flash. I don't want any useless programs and the gps programs to be intalled. I got my own gsp prog that I want to use.
Thanks,
FreakyFreak

i use dopod shipp

Didn't I read somewhere that Dopod will lock the pda again? Could you clear this for me.
Thanks,
FreakyFreak

any solution????

Yes I did...same thing...maybe we are missing some kind a file,to tell the Arteimg.nbh to start loading.....

you will not be able to flash from sd card.
to flash from sd card you need a specific service card. when this card is inserted, you can flash from the card.
with uspl, flashing from sd card is not supported.

Not true, i succesfully flashed several times o2 wm6ship. ROM thru SD(ordinary 2GB, not even cleaned-only ARTEIMG.nbh in root). But it must be original operators ROM. Cannot be cooked rom or from diff. operator.

you right, except original rom for device. meaning correct model id and cid.

Bricked Cruise? Need Help.

Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

First you can try a hard reset!
Here you can download the original shipped rom with installer.

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2103884

MTTY
Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?

Darn
No more reponses?
It is probably bricked then.
So what's my next move...trash it?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...

Hey you must careffuly read mtty in kaiser thread.....mtty can brick your device for entire life.....my advice to you is pm GSLEON3
he's the master of using mtty and lot of kaiser user saved by him...
Hope this can help you

The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!

after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol

there must be some way pls pls anyone help me to get my working phone back
will appreciate your concern
thanks
Regards
Faraz Feroz

as i said on the other post
well you have to get the original ROM for your device.. see their website.. it should be there for free. or try to get it from anyplace.. (the original rom)
and then flash it using SD Card flashing
info for flashing it by that are here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._Card_Flashing
hope it will work

i think you can get it from here
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_compact3.html
if WM6 did not work.. try WM5

thanks i m downloading it...but tell me one thing if there is a software issue then why isnt ther any display i mean no backlight no display no charging led

having same problem with both WM5 and WM6 upgrades!!
"error occur : invalid update tool
this update cannot be used for your pda phone, please get newer update utility"

i think that becuase the bootloader , ISP or one of these stuff are corrupted.. don't know.
and as i told once i got my artemis completely dead
and finally i got it fixed by putting the ARTEIMG.nbh in SD card as they said in the wiki and then by pressing the camera button and the power.
and it started flashing it as the SD card flashing but it took about 30 mins .. and there was three phases in the flashing progress which it was the first time i see.

having same problem with both WM5 and WM6 upgrades!!
"error occur : invalid update tool

did you flashed it by SD card or RUU?
if you used RUU try by SD card flashing

did u get the same prob? i mean the phone seems to be dead? if so...there is a hope then
well...i used RUU simply downloaded it and tried to install by setup,,, dont know about card flashing but will try
where can i find that NBH file?
do u have that .NBH file?

you have to extract the file you using a program like winrar
there will be few files.. one of them is the nbh
that's how i got the nbh file.
and about the SD card flashing is here...

Stuck stuck STUCK in bootloader - help!

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?

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.

hey. can you send me a PM, I'm very interested in your device

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

3rd day of headache but my Pure just wont HSPL, sos

Ok my last 3 days I've been simply trying to install some custom ROMs and did all the reading and research step by step, but my AT&T HTC Pure just wont update the HSPL no matter what.
Steps I've taken so far:
1. Formatted SD Card
2. Obtained and put goldcard.img on SD Card
3. Fully connected phone via Windows Mobile Device Center
4. Antivirus turned off
5. Tried Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL in in auto-mode, fails telling me " Fatal Error" and underneath "Please make sure the device is properly synced; Please retry after syncing device (via Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center)" which I have...
6. Tried installing ENABLERAPINEW.cab with results "unsuccessful" (but again my phone does sync just fine, I still took this step)
7. Tried Manual Flash, my phone never goes into bootloader, and right after "verifying phone information" shows screen saying "ERROR [224]: DEVICE NOT RESPONDING"
8. Tried entering bootloader mode and during auto-mode to flash, tells me same exact thing as without bootloader
9. Tried Manual Flash in bootloader, it gets to flashing screen with a progress bar at 0% on both PC and phone forever, I waited 20 mins and it didn't change.
It seems as if there is something preventing RUU to be writing anything on my phone, so that's why it throws connection error, but I am not sure. And I am seriously loosing all hope in this and dont know what to do, so HELP please!

Update
I also forgot to mention that I tried to Hard_SPL from another computer that is Windows XP, used Activesync, which didn't work either...

The only thing i can tell you is to read this thread (what you have already done i think)

you cant flash hardspl on the sd card, it must be done over activsync. u dont put it on your card, you run it from your computer. make a new folder{on your computer} and name it whatever , then unrar the file into the folder, then you should be able to flash the hardspl.make sure the ruu and the nbh file are in the folder.

I do run Custom RUU from desktop local drive and not from SD Card and results mentioned above are the ones I get. Again tried with phone on, it just tells me ERROR [224] and never goes into bootloader or anything. Tried entering the the phone to bootloader manually and connecting it to usb and run RUU, it goes a little further where it finally gets to screen of flashing progress but freezes at 0% and thats it.
Could missteps in obtaining Goldcard be the reason for such behavior?

Yes, you can flash ANY .nbh from your SD card by renaming it TOPAIMG.nbh.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is goldcard?
What is the current SPL?

I agree leemoss. You need Hardspl from your system. First synch your phone to system through Active sync. Execute the HardSpl.183, select auto flash.
Second thing i noted is on SDcard you have to rename the ROM file and store it as TOPAIMG.nbh and place in the root folder.

I read about people having problems, and the ones that weren't spent the 20 bucks on the Sim unlocker. I'd never flashed a phone before, so I went that route. It's worth it IMO.

Again this phone I am using is HTC Pure by AT&T and thats what confuses me, maybe I really do have to SIM unlock my phone before I can HSPL and flash custom .nbh ROMs?

You only need to CID unlock to flash ROMs, if you buy the SIM unlocker you get both CID and Security unlocked but it still may not work.
I see you have 1.8.33 which is good because there is not a working HSPL for 2.54
You say you tried running custom ROMs as TOPAIMG.nbh, but did you try it with the HSPL nhb? It would be the same process as doing a ROM from SD card.
I would also get rid of goldcard as that is only to recover a bricked device.
Get all goldcard stuff off your card and PC, reformatt your card to Fat32 the place the renamed TOPAIMG.nbh and proceed to bootloader.
One last pointer, another method to flash is to download Topaz Custom RUU Wrapper and put the exe file in the same folder as the .nbh on your desktop and run the .exe after your sync'd. **Make sure all firewalls and antivirus are off.**
Good Luck.

You only need to CID unlock to flash ROMs, if you buy the SIM unlocker you get both CID and Security unlocked but it still may not work.

Tried still same results... freezes at flashing with 0% at progress bar. I attached view screens that concern me that RUU cant read my stock ROM Image version, is this normal? The only other thing I am gonna try to do is maybe reinstall the entire Windows Mobile Device Center, besides that I am clueless.

Have you install the enablerapinew.cab first?
If so, I'm outta tricks. Others have been having issues as well in the HSPL thread. You may have to wait for an update.
I don't think its anything on your PC unless firewall or AV aren't turned off.

Remove SD-Card and Sim-Card before HardSPL from PC. I had 2 TouchDuals before TD2, one was no prob to flash, second needed SD-Card to be removed! Once HardSPL succeeded you may leave SD-Card in TD2.

WORKING!!!
YES!!! I finally got it to SPL, what it was that my phone could not accept any .cab installations due to security issue with "unknown publisher" signature, that's why my phone didn't allow me to install enablerapinew.cab but then I just hard reset my phone installed enablerapinew.cab and everything worked, YEY! Thank you Bruce Inman, and everyone else who spend time to try to guide me through my issues, tnx!
