T-Mobile Rom.... Can't do anything else... Help

Since updating to the T-Mobile Rom for my XDA, nearly everythiung has gone wrong.
And when I tried to downgrade it.... Nothing happens.
I used to use a modified Program A to upload it to my phone but it continues to say that the USB devide gets remotely stopped. the only thing that I can think is that my phone is cancelling the upgrade/downgrade.
I have also tried using a copy of the XDATools program to try and:
Upload another Rom.
Copy the rom to an SD card so I can use the bootloader method.
Change the Bootloader so I can use the SD card method.
None of there are working.
Help :-(
I really want to go back to the ATT rom, it might have the annoying thing with the sound but at least it doesn't mess up as much, doesn't format my SD/MMC cards and lets the alarms actually work for me.

if i'm not wrong, it seems you upgraded using the TMO exe file which updated both ROM & RSU.
check ur boot loader version, if it's 5.22 or higher, i think you need to dowgrade to 5.15 ... use the exe file that comes with the XDAtools in the binaries directory .. its name is fixbootloader.exe .. it should update ur boot loader to 5.15 by which you can use XDAtools or the SD method.

Tried that. I do have XDA tools on my machine and used that program but my CDA still has the bootleader of 5.22
And both of my machines don't like trying to update my XDA :-(
This Rom is the most annoying one I have tried mainly becaise now I can't go back to even my original one that I backed from the XDA when I got it.
Am I stuck with this ROM?

omg, i think i am having the same problem. In my case, since ive installed the new rom, i cannot sync with activesync, well very slow anyway. Activesync on my pc stops responding for a while and suddenly it says connected. However when i then run the executable created by the kitchen, it just flashes a command line window for a second.
When I try XDA-toolz with an nbf file, i get the following message:
ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the rem
ote host.
error getting connectiontype

Please someone help, because i am really stuck now.

I checked, my bootloader is 5.14, so that shouldnt be the problem, perhaps i need to reinstall activesync, or perhaps lumpistefans kitchen cooks up bad roms. :?:

Nothing wrong with any kitchen ROMs so far ... when ActiveSynce can't recognize the XDA then it's either a PC problem which uninstall/reinstall will solve it ... or it's a wrong RSU update.
The best option so far in case it's a wrong RSU is to copy the proper RSU upgrade (4 files) to the SD card ... insert the SD card into the XDA and copy those 4 files to the \windows\startup directory ... then soft rest.
If the RSU flash works fine the ActiveSync will recognize the XDA again then you can preform a new ROM update
Note: RSU flashing is risky ... do this action on your own responsibility!!

I dont understand how i can have a wrong rsu? I didnt update it , as far as i know , i just updated the pda part. I only saw programme A.
Activesync does recognise my xda, because i can synchronize and explore my device. It does however take a long time before activesync sees the device after its connected. It also stops responding when its connecting, for a few minutes. I tried reinstalling activesync, this didnt help.

If there is something wrong with the RSU it will defeinitly slow the USB performance, not neceassary by wrong RSU flashing ... otherwise, check the pins of your cradle or the 22-pin connector of the XDA ... maybe one or more pins are bent or weared.

Tried upgrading the radiop stack and although the reception is slightly better... It still won't let me upload,
and its a new cable too :-(
Oh well looks like I am stuck with it.

Another way to upgrade firmware
Are there other ways to upgrade the bootloader from SD card from within the device or even to upgrade the OS from within the phone itself?
You know... as a last alternative?

You can use SD reader/writer from the PC using XDAtools ... once the .nbf file is on the SD card, use the normal SD flashing method.
Or you can use another XDA device from a friend to copy the file to your SD card

I am having the same problem. I have TMO 4.01.16 and since I installed I can't down/upgrade my ROM through EXE or XDA tools, it says my device isn't connected, but I can still connect with Active Sync and all that jazz

ha ha
I can fix all your problems!

How?

Finally got it to work, Although it was a little bit of effort to do so.
I went back to the kitchen and downloaded a NB1 cooked rom with the "B" Signature. Then I basically ran the TMobile Setup again...
Once the setup files were on my computer I overwrote their .NB1 file with the one I just cooked.
But.... I forgot to change the file for the Radio Stack.
The machine worked except for the phone and as something is still stopping me. *it was my first reboot* It wouldn't let me use a new radio stack.
Ended up that i kept on going in to the bootloader and eventually turned my radio off altoghether before trying an update.
Now I am back to a decent rom... (Cooked and modded version of the ATT Wireless rom) and I am almost really happy.
Now to figure out how to stop the annoying sounds starting off really low.
But til then... I'm 90% happy

Use the Sd Method flashing!!
Tmobile roms won't let you upgrade from the usb, here's the link and it will guide you how to flash your device from the SD good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3274

The way I described.. I had to use the USB method.
my current bootloader (6.22) will not allow me to boot from an SD card.
And XDATools will not allow me to downgrade it... Yet

on ur PC at \xdatools\binaries run this command: pnewbootloader.exe bootloader_5_15.nb0

Wish it was that easy. The phone still appears to be locked in the rom so I can't update the Bootloader. I keep getting a message that says.
Unable to flash in to offset, cannotg disable bootloader write protect.

Have you placed the phone into bootloader mode before using the RUU? (Holding the camera down and pressiing the soft reset button?)

Activesyn won't recognize the phone if connected during bootloader ... but if the phone says "USB" on the bottom left, you can run the RUU and it will work.

My device display "USB" in bootloader mode when i connect it to my PC.
But the problem is that the pc can't detect a new device connected...
When i try to flash by the SD card my herald can't detect the card!
I'm affraid! Please HELP ME!!!

Artemis: USB-Connection not working - Up-/Downgrade by SD-Card not possible

Hi there,
I have a MDA Compact III from T-Mobile, but I upgraded it to WM6 from o2 in former times.
Now the USB-Connection is broken (don´t ask me why - I don´t know) and I want to send the Artemis to my provider for repairing or changing (btw loading is working by USB, but Windows Vista, XP etc. wont identified the Artemis - tested on serveral PCs).
Because of the guarantee I have first to downgrade the o2-OS to the original T-Mobile-OS. I´ve tried it by SD-Card, but I doesn´t work.
The bootloader shows IPL 3.04.0001 and SPL 3.04.0000. As I understand it, I have to use first Artemis_USPL, but without a working USB-Connection it wont work.
Can someone help me?
Many thanks in advance.

I have still the same problem. Any ideas yet?

Just an idea.but have you tried to activesync your device thru bluetooth and installing the Artemis uspl and then flashing your rom via SD card?
Edit .
Sorry mate, tested it on my Artemis and doesn't work.

I'm having the same problem here.
When i connect it to my pc it starts charging but there is no connection with the pc
Someone knows a fix?

Thanx for Testing...

By the way ,did you try to activesync thru bluetooth?

Yes mate. The Artemis was connected but didn´t synchronize.

And bluetooth can't be used to flash

No,it can't ,but,what i had in mind was this:
What if you extracted the ruu-signed.nbh from the USPL app renamed it to arteimg.nbh and put it in the root of your sd card which you then put in your Artemis.
Now create a bluetooth activesync connection with your PC "It's a ***** but it can be done" ,run the USPL app and once it reaches the point where the Dos window "Black screen" exits you manually enter bootloader and run the arteimg.nbh.
Do you think it might work?
Edit:
If this works then you will have a CID unlocked Artemis and you'll be able to flash any rom thru the SD card.

With "ruu-signed.nbh" you mean an original t-mobile-rom?

Error when I try "Artemis SD Card flashing"

I put the file ARTEIMG.nbh to SD Card (FAT32), the ROM that I'm using is "Artemis 4.02", but on manual (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing) says that I need to extract the NBH, but when I try to extract I have a error, then I've copied the file to SD Card, but when I enter on bootload in screen show me "Invalid Certificate" and I don't know what I do! Please help me... my mobile is dead

exact same problem..... has any one got any solution for this ?

Same problem also for me... have anyone found a solution for that???
Thank you all

Same problem with a number of ROM's. The only ROM I have been able to flash is an old wm5 (ART_HTCDAN_11240301_026790_DAN_SHIP). And I think it is an older version than the one installed when I bourght the device
My p3300 refuses to do any flash from win7, sometimes it can't see the device and sometimnes it reaches 2-3% of the transfer before it stops.

INSTALL HARD-SPL from micro-SD?

Is there a way to install HARDP-SPL from the micro SD card? I am able to flash any rom from my SD-Card, but I am no longer able to connect my Polaris to active sync. Get an error "USB Device not recognized" and I am not able to get synched. Now I have flashed several different rom's and also different radios, that works from the micro sd card. but I am still not able to connect with active sync. When I enter the bootloader mode then I just see that message "POLA100 MFG SPL-2.20.OliNex CPLD-2" So I guess the Hard-SPL is missing. Home I will get some help ;-)

If you step manually to bootlader mode and see the Olinex string, hard-spl is installed!

Thanks for your answer, didn't know that. However, I am not able to connect to active sync even though I have tried different ROM's and different Radios also, flashed from SD-card. Still no connection to activesync :-(

I have the exact same problem for almost a year now, flashing all roms with the micro sd card... and living without active sync :S
Hope someone can help us here

maybe 2 things :
1- your usb cable is ko...try with an another one
2- maybe the usb pins in your device are twisted or broken...
cheers!

1- the USB cable can't be the problem, already tried a different one, plus using my Touch pro with the same cable on the same computer
2- the pins, I don't know, they look good for what I can tell and it is strange because the phone will be charged with the usb cable
wish I would find a solution.....

Can you dumb that down a bit? I don't have access to a windows computer, so I have to rely on the microSD. Is there a way to Hard-SPL the phone with the SD card? I performed a Hard-SPL on my Wing when I first got it, but I think it was an older out-dated version, cuz I get an "Invalid Certificate" error when trying to flash from my microSD.
Thanks,

easy solution which I found
If you first install the .nbh file of the .72 stock spl using the micro sd card, then your device will not boot into the OS. Now run the Sony Ericsson update utility (which you can download from their website) and run it. It will try to upgrade the system through usb. After different steps, this software will ask you to reinstall the OS (the spl should match first) and then you can reinstall the stock spl and you are back to square one. Now from here, you can now go anywhere you like.
Note: The above method, I tried it myself and it worked. It might not work for everyone hence use it at your own risk. But if you have a bricked device, then there is nothing to lose.
