Well i have been searching for almost 8 hrs and i have not found the solution to bring back to life my beloved universal it does not turn on (but i can put it in bootloader mode) there ir no way i can't get the PC with xp to recognize my universal it all started when i was so happy that i had linux (qtopia) running in my universal with the phone and sms partially working the i got an incoming call that i could not answer so i restarted my uni to boot wince and BANG no sound and the microfone wasnt working either in WINCE so i hard-reseted to see if that helped, WELL it didnt so i reflash another WM6 ROM and that didnt help, then i tougth that flashing WM5 would help and BANG now my universal is bricked the process of flashing was completed but when i hard-reseted the phone it would not turn on so i hard-reseted again and nothing so i put it in bootloader mode and thats how its been since yesterday morning, i spent hours looking for the answer and nothing this is what i've tried so far hopefully somenoe with more knoleage than me will provide me with help (Just so you know im not new to flashing ROMS i've had in the past (3 wizards, 1 blue angel , 1 universal and 1 athena) all of them flashed by me with no problems whatsoever until i started with linux.
mtty
i always get an error that says "Can not open usb port" so i cant try the commands to get it out of bootloader mode.
i did kill the process wce***.exe and unclick the option in activesync "allow USB connection"
tried the utility made by buzz UNI_ExitBootloader and the same thing it says that port cannot be opened
flashing another ROM (wm6 or wm5)
i've tried all i have (3 wm6 witch i know they work because i have tried them all in my universal, 2 wm5 unknown if they work because i've had WM6 since day one),. i get diffent errors like CE ERROR or CONECTION ERROR , obvisouly due to the fact that my pc running xp and cant recognize my uni.
Im out of ideas i've hardreseted, softreseted, flash different roms, took out SIM and SD CARD, mtty is not working for me and my biggest concern is that my battery was at 50% when i flashed the last WM5 so if i keep trying the battery will die eventually and then i will not have any way to reflash or do anything with the phone and im in mexico so the closest person with another universal is 1000s of miles away fom me if anyone has a suggestion, link, program , info, rom or anything i will be more than greatful.
thanks for reading and if this get resolved it will be helpful to others with the same problem as me, meanwhile i would not downgrade to wm5 since that seems to have problems at least for me.
have a good day.
Try flashing using your SD card?
Hello everybody,
i have major problems after trying to flash bepe rom 0.66. The rom before flashing was bepe 0.59. The flashing finished fine, but after automatic restart, the windows mobile failed to boot, it stuck on green WM6.1 screen. After all, i tried to hard-reset my device, but nothing helped.
I can enter bootloader, but it is bootloader version POLA200 SPL-1.25.0000. When i try to flash ram, the flashing stucks at 0% and the error 262 occured.
So i have no idea what to do, and how i can reanimate my polaris. I have some questions, in another thread i have read that it isnt possible to flash the rom with this bootloader, i have to install the HardSPL, but i dont know how i can install hardSPL?
Another question is, can i flash the original rom without hardSPL?

i have tried this, but it changed nothing, always stuck in green WM6.1 Screen or by 0% flashing with error [262].
I'm not sure it works but you can try flashing hardSPL by microSD.
Take a microSD and format in FAT32, rename RUU_Signed.nbh in POLAIMG.nbh, insert microSD in Polaris, put it in bootloader, press the power button, it takes some seconds to start, wait.
If it works you can after flash the ROM with the same procedure.
Thanks for all replies!
This is a good idea batista, but i have some questions to this procedure.
Which rom would you take? first hard-SPL and after that a cooked rom?
How i can see that it works, cause you say you dont know wheather it works? Have you made experience with flashing from micro-SD?
Flash before HardSPL and after a ROM, i've Bepe 0.65 ITA.
You can see if it works if after you can flash a ROM, i've never flashed by miscroSD 'cause i've a PC with XP and i prefer to flash via usb but a lot of
people use to flash via microSD.
Trying to flash rom from microSD, has no satisfying effect as well. It stucks on a white screen with blue label "Loading...". Maybe its because 8GB microSD card and it is not able to load a rom from that one.
Please, i am happy about every post. Because i wont have destroyed 450 €
Do you format microSD before ????
Can you try with another one ????
If in FAT 32 doesn't work try in FAT 16.
No i cant try it with another one, but ordered another one on amazon, so on wednesday i hope i can try with another one. Formating with FAT16 is also impossible, i have no such choice in windows XP, but i think FAT32 would be the right one.
I think the main problem is, i have not installed hard SPL, but i dont know how to install without connection to windows xp. And i havent found any thread where it is mentioned to install hardSPL without connection to windows xp.
Have You tried to flash hardSPL via microSD or not ???
Same procedure of ROM flashing.
yes both hardSPL and direct bepe 0.66 but none of them worked. both stucking on loading... screen. Maybe there is a problem with 8GB hc micro sd?
Remove microSD and SIM and try flashing hardSPL via PC with Polaris in bootloader.
i also tried this, but it stucks on 0% updating and on windows xp the 262 Update Error appear. I will give this one a retry tomorrow. But i am not very hopefull.
I'm really sorry, i hope someone has a solution for your problem.
another user named sassa80 had exactly the same issue like you. he did not HardSPL first and tried to flash a new radio rom. the story ended with a RMA return of his HTC.
Hi Incubant,
You may try to flash an *original* ROM renamed to POLAIMG.nbh trought microSD. I used that procedure with a Sandisk 16GB, FAT32 and it worked ok. Before that, mine were kind of bricked on the SPL loader.
I think the step I may have missed the first time was to unplug and replug usb cable the first time I run the update on windows, right after the reset when on the palm screen it said to do so (after all on windows, the application were telling to *not* unplug the cable for 10 minutes). Anyway, if I recall correctly, I failed to update the SPL and at the end of flashing a beta of 6.1 it stopped at 99%. So... I was stuck - couldn't reflash anything. Nevertheless, the procedure that I mentioned on the first paragraph did solve it. After that, I had no problem installing the HardSPL and any other ROM.
Good luck
Another one here with the same problem.
Tried everything I can think of and still stuck on the 6.1 boot screen.
The people who are having problems above with the latest flash e.t.c, which brand of device you using? XDA Orbit II?
For me, it's an O2 Orbit II.

I thought you might say that, I also have an XDA Orbit II and have noticed a different set of behaviours under the same conditions as compared to the HTC Touch Cruise users. It appears that an Orbit II and a Touch Cruise are both a Polaris but an Orbit II is not a Touch Cruise if that makes sense. Apart from the quite apparent visual differences between the two, are there any internal differences we are not aware of? The Orbit II always appears to act differently, some tweaks/roms/advice have outcomes different to the touch cruise, especially certain reg tweaks.
From using the latest bepe ROM it appears to be quite buggy, also reported by other users, look at bepe ROM thread. Hopefully bepe which deal with the bugs because his ROM, in my opinion, is by far the best.
I too had the STUCK-AT-GREEN-SCREEN issue when I flashed the latest ROM, I waited about 5 minutes, then HARD-RESET, then when presented with the GREEN-SCREEN again for a few minutes, I pressed one of the upper buttons (green phone / red phone).
I hope you sort the problem out.
I'm new in these forums as well I'm new with flashing ROMs so obviously I messed up flash process and my device stuck in bootloader (tri-color) mode. This post I address to those unfortunate like me .
# Symptoms #
- ROM flash started and stopped at 17%. After recovery flash process stucks at 0% and pops Connection Error 262. Device is stuck in bootloader mode not possible to flash anything, hard reset does not help, flash from SD card does not help either.
# Possible cause for that #
1. In bootloader mode device shows:
Code:
Pola100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
means that Hard SPL was not flashed before flashing ROM file (if Hard SPL was flashed then in second line will be written SPL-2.20.Olinex.).
2. Connection between ActiveSync and device was not established when flashing ROM file.
Before to go any further please take your time and read Polaris Wiki to get familiar with glossary and acronyms used here.
PROCEED ONLY if flashing original ROM does not help, hard reset does not help and flash from SD card does not work.
# Solution #
1. Download MTTY software.
2. Kill ActiveSync (Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe processes).
3. Plug Polaris into usb port (Plug directly not through hubs).
4. Start MTTY after chose USB from PORT dropdown list (if it is not listed there then ActiveSync processes were not stopped).
5. in window type: set 16 0 (enter cmd mode)
6. after type: task 8 (this will format phone)
7. after type: task 0 (this will restart phone. Not always necessary)
8. soft reset
This procedure can damage your phone. Use it as last resort.
Official source in french here.
Now before flashing any ROMs read carefully how to flash (not install!) Hard SPL.
# P.S. about install and flash termins #
This error with flashing happened to my due misunderstanding between notions of installing something on your device and flashing. In my opinion those are completely two different things. As for first I understand of running some cab or exe directly on device. So problem comes when people sees install Hard SPL en device as they try to find some cabs or exes to install directly on device or they just copy all files to device. To make things clear Hard SPL "installation" actually is ROM flash process which must be done with maximum caution, but those who did not read Wiki won't understand it.
Cheers, whitealien
BiG THX @ Whitealien.
works to 100% on my Touch Cruise.
I flashed under Vista Ultimate...
# Solution # ... addition from me for Vista users!
....
2. Start Windows Mobile Device Center and Deaktivate USB Connection and then start Task manager end kill
Process wmdc.exe.
Rest of whitealien. and have fun!
Thank you!!!!
I had given up on this, and was sure my only option was a warranty repair :O
always welcome
Thanks, you've saved my Polaris.
Mine didn't want to react anymore to the soft reset, so I replaced your instruction 8 with:
Cmd>boot
and that did the trick.

I had exactly the same problem, for whatever reason went back to original SPL before HARD SPL.
I solved my issue by using back the original original HTC RUU_signed.nbh and flash it using the CustomRUU.
Thereafter, repeat the entire HARD SPL and flash the home cooked ROM.
Cheers.
For unbricking your HTC Polaris, you can try also a hard-reset (if it is related to a software error):

Seems people are still falling for this error.
I'm has this error.
Solution (with SPL-2.20):
- kill ActiveSync (process, not uninstall)
- cable to USB on motherboard
- hard reset on phone
- connect to cable
- flash OFFICIAL rom
Two time I revive my Polaris.

Did you kill all running ActiveSync processes?
I did indeed, i'm on vista so didnt have those particular processes going but followed the step from Aeroman and it still doesn't want to play. Any ideas?
managed to find a working XP machine and it worked a treat. Thank you so much.

hey, im sorry for the late reply. it didnt notify me and now after posting several times asking for help in many threads by accident i bumped into this thread again to see that u answered and thank you so much.
now, what i did? this is the wierd thing, i didnt do anything, i went and back to see my phone stuck in bootload .... after this i tried almost everything i can find. from ur solution to flashing original rom to hrd spl to .........
now all gave an error except the original rom (polaris.1.28.415.2), it did went to 100% and device restarted to take me to my nightmare .... another bootloader screen am i suppose to search for polaris 1.28.0000?
i still have now the same writing shown.
please help me with this, its a nightmare .... is it totaly dead???
i managed to catch what it is saying b4 bootload screen (only when SD card is in place) it says no image file was found!!! in a very fast way and go to bootloader. in case the sd is not in place nothing happens and it goes straight to the bootloader
This is the story:
I bricked my phone (Elf) because I didn't CID unlock it after installing the Opal 6.1 rom. So when I tried to install the backup ROM I made it got bricked. I read all the threads about how to revive the phone and I can't get any to work.
I can't do the GoldCard since I don't have a working WM phone. So I tried the Wild card unbricker ROM and the phone got worse. Now I only get to the tri color screen without any "RUU" at the top and every time I try to flash another ROM on it it shuts and I get an error message saying something like "Invalind vendor or error in image" etc... Please help me, what happend??? I cant flash any ROM. I cant do hardspl. I can't do anything.
PLEASE HELP ME! Anyone who's familiar to this problem?
Thx in advance!
hello all
i have i-mate jasjam its proplem is no gsm
i tried alot for flashing the radio bymany verions but it stoped and when i tried t flashing it by many roms and also the original rom it stoped on the step gsm
and if i flahed it by any rom wihout the radio it completes but with no gsm
i hope to find a resolve to this prop plz to make my phone alife again
thx for u all
This is maybe problem with hardware ! better to you go in service,bcs if you flashed with original rom and radio,he must to work 100%
thz alot for help but i need a solution do it by myself thx
Hi, can you please write down what is on the bootloader screen ?
hi aze2learn thx for trying help me
ok
on the boot loader screen
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
thx alot aze2learn
Well, since you already have hardspl 2.10-Olipro, please make sure you flash WM6 (green welcome screen) or above because WM5 (blue welcome screen) for sure will make the device show 'No GSM' if it writes an old radio version. Try original rom for your device here first : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
It is recommended to use radio version (GSM) from your carrier. You can also try other radio (if you want to) from here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms . Some say 1.47.30.10 is the best in terms of power consumption but maybe not suitable for others (depends on carrier/geography)
Note : Only original ROMs from HTC/carrier have radio. Cooked roms don't include radio.
All the best
ps : Only HardSPLed device will allow flashing extracted radio rom. Stock SPL will stop the device from flashing.
ok man thx alot i will try and i will tell u but tell me how to flashing it by pc or by sd
thx
Try RUU first (flashing through pc using usb cable) but if you're having problem such as error 260 (no connection), you can use sdcard method since you already HardSPL your device
ps: sdcard method only works on FAT32 filesystem and non-SDHC microsd.
i tried during the pc and it gives me error 262
and i tied during the sd stoped on gsm step
i dont know what to do??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Extract RUU_inside.exe (use winrar or 7zip) RUU_inside.exe is in the original HTC ROM package ... get the RUU_signed.nbh and put into a new folder.
Then use RUUWrapper from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737 and put it in the same folder with RUU_signed.nbh
Boot the device in bootloader mode. In RUUWrapper, tick 2.10 (new bootloader) and is it Hard-SPL. Follow the instruction.
All the best
ps : please check your PM
hi man
its stoped again on 11%
my mind will be pumped and i dont know what to do
i do everything i think
i will be crazy
maybe your battery drained out already? if so, try turn off the phone, charge it for 30 mins and try again.
ps: have you read your PM?
its already full charged
Please don't worry too much. Since your device already HardSPL, your device can still be revive.
i hope it will be aliveagain but how?
i am too tired from searching on the internet about this prop
and i didnt get any resolve for it
i think u have mor experiance than me and u can search more deeper than me
i will be here tmorrow maybe u can find a selution
i am from egypt and u ?
I'm from Malaysia (GMT+8) and please read your private message. I would really love to help but I need extra info such as what OS are you using, what happen before you got into trouble,etc.
