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

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
cheers

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.

Are you sure? This Hard SPL suit for Hermes. You have to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375338

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

Dead cruise?

Hi
I seemed to have killed my phone tonight. Originally I flashed it with HardSPL then udk Vega firmware. It seemed to work OK but TomTom wouldn't work so I tried to flash it with something else. Now it boots up with the udk Polaris flash screen and then it dies. The screen is vagually there but there is no USB connection (either through Activesync or the firmware software). The bootloader screen is showing:
POLA100
SPL-1.28.0000
CPLD-2
I've tried lots of different firmwares, the original will not install (1.25.405.1) the error is 294 INVALID VENDOR ID
Has anyone any idea how I can fix my 1 month old phone please?
Kevin

first of all,
it looks like you haven't succesfully installed hardspl
if i remember, you shold install the original rom by manualy going into bootloader (camera+reset).
After that, try and install hardspl again.
hope this helps

My phone has died to. I used it today and sudently I can not unlock it. It want either hard reset or manualy go into bootloader. When it rings, I can answer and talk, but tapping the screen do not work. I am using the Glass rom, and have used a lot of different rom`s, and it has worked perfekt all the time. To enter bootloader (camera+reset)? or (on+camera+reset)? Any tips to unlock so i can install a new rom?

camera + reset = bootloader
reflash

All sorted now, I downloaded and applied the original Australian ROM and it worked a treat. I've now properly installed HardSPL and I'm playing around with all the different ROMS

Hi all.
Do I have the first brick Cruise?
http://i27.tinypic.com/118ppjt.jpg
I have used several of the roms posted here, nice work
I have ordered the new Diamond so I desided to go back to the Swedish dumped rom.
Used original spl, worked fine I guess..
When I was flashing the new rom it got to aprox 50%, after that i got an error. Don't remember what the error code was.
Now im stuck in bootmode!?. Can't run Hard spl or original spl, it wont flash any roms.
It recognizes the device but wont start the flash process.
Have read trough the forum for tips but nothing has worked so far.
Any ideas?
Regards Pasi

artemis USPL - improvements

I was asked to patch USPL for ROM size checking when flashing via RUU, so this version does not check size even when flashing via USB. (original SPL skips the size checks only when SD flashing.)
I did this a few days ago, but didn't get around to posting it
download from attachment, enjoy! donations are always appreciated to the "To Cmonex" link in my signature
how to use it: if you already have a version of artemis USPL installed, simply flash this new version using RUU or from SD (ARTEIMG.NBH on FAT32 formatted SD)
in bootloader (tricolour mode) it should then say version: 1.11.cmon
for instructions on installing any USPL if you have no USPL yet - check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 until I have more time/motivation for userfriendly packaging
more plans: if I get time/motivation I might upgrade this to be full HSPL (overwrite protection)

Well done Cmonex..!
Thanks so much.
Peoples of Artemis forum wait it long times already.
Thread Sticked.
Cheers ..!

But I dont really understand. Can Flash under vista ou seven with no drivers ?

it's the same process.
The difference is that you can flash any rom without size limits.
Before you only could do this with SD Card method.

not working
its not working
it gives the same error : invalid size
canu explain step by step plzzzz

Is you bootloader showing SPL 1.11.cmon?

i have replaced the nbh file of artemis uspl with this one
then started uspl after that once it gets over i started
ruu upgrade utility
thats the way how it is done or something else
during this process no bootloader screen comes

And where is the response to my question? ....

I want to thank you very much for this useful work. However I couldn't try it yet Because at the end of the rom update utility application (I mean %100) it gives a error 270 udate error image file corrupted. Please check your update utility I have tried all these attempts while my phone is at the bootloader mode.
Thank you in advance

HTC Opal WM 6.1 WWE 1.35.720.2 Stock ROM

Hi All,
For those of you, who wants to go back to the WM 6.1 WWE 1.35.720.2 Stock ROM on the Viva, here it is...
This is the lastest english ROM that you can get from HTC. You may use this for warranty purpose or if you prefer going back to the stock ROM. This ROM has the Idea logo. The entire package was assembled from official HTC updates and has no customization/personalization at all. After applying this, you may want to use "stockspl" (see sticky thread) for warranty purpose.
Cheers!

thanks ddl.team but after flashing, it says: Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.

Thank you ddl.team. After flashing, I receive the same message "Your OS isn't customized for your hardware."

me 2
HI I recive that message to, the big problem is that I can't install another ROM after this, I tried to flash hard spl 1 and 2 but it has no effect. Please give me a solution.

Okay. This ROM has the official Radio, IPL, SPL and Splash. If required, remove those using HTC ROM Image Editor and try to reflash. Make sure your SPL is 2.00.cmon (use HardSPL first). Then after flasing this, go back to stockspl.

Sorry Mr. Jagan actually i was replaying to mr.menix , He is having problem after flashing this rom.

Alright, no need to be sorry.

thanks
thanks but is not working, i'v broken my phone with this version ROM.

For people who have issues with this ROM, flash a different ROM using the method described in the thread "HOW TO: Flash ROMS via an SD Card to your Opal".
This ROM was dumped from an HTC Touch Viva T2223 and is 100% original and untouched. I am not sure why this is not working for some of you. I have flashed this on my Viva twice now without any issues.
After flashing this ROM, I get the following:
OBNL 1.57.0000
SPL 1.26.0000 (post applying stockspl; was 2.00.cmon before)
GSM 03.29.90
OS 1.35.0.0

Cannot apply stockspl. SPL 2.00.cmon still remains. I guess that is the problem, but I don't know how to revert to SPL 1.26. I tried everything, but 2.00.cmon is still there .
Thank you anyway.

Tools to dump ROM
Sorry if I am posting in the wrong thread, but are there any tools to backup the original SPL and ROM before we start flashing the cooked ROMS? As with this any unknown issues can be ruled out in case if we need to revert back to the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance.
