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.

M3100 newbie help

Just purchsed the Orange M3100 phone but I cant sync it on my pc. Ive downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center driver for Vista 64bit. It doesnt pick up my phone. Please help, ive googled etc.
Running WM 5.

In settings>connections>usb to pc, uncheck "advanced network functionality". That might work...
Cheers...

also make sure its pluged directly into your pc (one of the ports on the back) not though a usb hub, thats the prob i had syncing my 3100

thanks ultramag69. it seemed to work
now can i use FREE HTC HERMES UNLOCKER v3a by pof using vista?
the instructions talk about active sync and windows xp but no vista
sorry but ive only used this phone for few hours

you can use the sd card method as described in its readme.txt that comes with it

thats the problem I dont have a sdcard yet. Just thought the XP instructions may work using Vista and WMDC.

I believe you need to update to the latest version of WMDC through my reading but you may want to confirm that. If you do a search through the wiki using terms like "vista activesync hermes" you should get a hit as it has been extensively talked about. Also please make sure you check what radio rom you have as unlocking the hermes will downgrade the radio rom to 1.16.00.10. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT RADIO YOU HAVE SO YOU AN PUT IT BACK...
If you want to use the sd card method (I find it safer than from the pc) then you need an sd card 2 Gb or smaller as though the OS can read a higher card the bootloader (the software in the hermes used to flash) can't. Don't forget to Hard SPL your hermes after you unlock it, I didn't need to do this but you can check by putting a sim from another carrier into your hermes. However, Hard SPL is a MUST. You can get instructions from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Sd card method on page 116, post 1160. It has all the apps needed to flash both through pc and sd card.
Then you're good to go for flashing a new os.Look into each os on your own, read the post and make up your own mind, DON'T ASK WHICH IS THE BEST..... There is no "best" for everyone, you need to choose on your own. As for the Radio Rom, I would suggest ONLY using the sd card method as if you flash this it the thing that is MOST likely to brick your device if something goes wrong. DON'T INTERRUPT THE FLASH FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
As stated the unlocking will change your radio rom.
Read carefully each step of the guides and don't skip anything and you'll be fine...
Welcome and happy flashing,
Cheers...

hi ultramag69. flashed the phone today and it worked fine. the only problem i have now is when trying to update to wm6 i just get the 4 colours screen and lose sync. same when trying to hard spl 2.1. any ideas?

Trying to upgrade my Artemis (WM6 Official ESN) to TouchFlo or WM6.5

Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced

Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

good to hear its working again

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install

in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system

Unable to synchronize HD2 to activesync

I can't connect my hd2 to active sync, I get a message "Unable to connect..." yet another thread...I have tried everything, hard formated the phone, reinstalled windows xp, unchecked the "enable faster data sync", reinstalled active sync...nothing works....
Reading advicese all over the net have not helped me unfortunately. I don't know what to do anymore.
The problem is present after upgrading to stock rom 4,66 WWW East Europe. I am not sure if it the ROM to blame because I did one syncronization after installing the rom and it went well, but I don't know what could have happened not to be able to sync anymore.
I have installed these apps on device memory - bsb, cookie home tab and editor, easy expenses, resco explorer, resco photo manager, sms backup, spb time; on the storage card I have Core player, shazam, spb backup, spb wireless monitor, web video downloader.
I had all these apps on the 1,43 rom too with no problems, the only difference is I have installed them all to storage card on the 1,43 rom. Could this be a problem.
Could bsb tweaks give me problems? Any advice pleas, I do not know what to do anymore. It's not that I bother about synchronization with outlook, but I am not able to install hspl nor other roms anymore. Is it possible to install hspl and rom without activesync or is ther another sync program that do the sam job?
Thak you for advices.

u can instal rom from sd card, just check the stickies in rom development thread.
Try to go to bootloader and then connect your phone to pc, if it says usb on the screen, u can flash a rom. I would try to reflash the stock roms, either 1.48 or the new 1.66.
Btw, just a quick question, does the battery recharge when u connect to pc? It also could be damaged microUSB.
Anyway these are tha steps u should try:
1. try to flash a stock rom via bootloader
2. if that is not possible, flash a rom via sd card

a you tried delet hd2 from Active sync File list and sync it like new.

The battery charges when plugged in, the phone works in disk drive mode but not in active sync mode.
I think I have nothing to delete from active sync file list because active sync is freshly installed and I haven't managed to connect my hd2 not once in a number of attempts.
How to flash a stock rom via bootloader, can I do it if I can't connect the phone via active sync? Is it via sd card or?

no that are two different ways, just try to flash stock rom via sd card, u can find the steps in the stickies ine the rom development forum.

I used to have the same kind of problem; if you uninstall ActiveSync make sure you delete the folder on your pc as well. Then reinstall and it may work again. I don't think the phone is the problem.

I've got a slightly different problem: ActiveSync works fine but when I try to flash a ROM or install HSPL I get the same message as you do.
I blame
1) another device(driver) on USB.
2) my firewall / security software (ESET)
Tried for weeks now to come up with a solution to no avail. Even installed Sun VirtualBox but no success.
So this won't help you sorry. Only thing to add is you can flash radio and ROM via SD card, but you can't perform task 29 (mtty) or install HSPL that way.

It was not a pc problem but a phone problem, I have hard reset it once more and it has synchronized. The first time after hard reset I have restored pim backup file, seems there was something else apart pim...the second time after hard reset I have plugged the cable and it worked.
Now I have installed all the apps I had before and it syncronizes, but I installed all the apps on the sd card, apart the apps that has to be installed in phone memory, such as net framework. The only one I didn't install again is the DJCLeo WM6.5 Taskbar v4b bluewhite winlogo because on the 1,66 rom it has a bug of not displaying the volume icon and you have to change some registry records, could this be the cause...I don't know.
I am planning to upgade to Artemis rom soon and hope not to have such problems...by the way, if I instal hspl2, then Artmis rom, then install stock spl via hspl2, it does not affect my warranty?

Help on upgrading HTC P3300

Hi all.
I have been reading in the forum for hours and hours, without beeing able to find an easy way (that I understand) on how to upgrade.
I am an old (retired) man, and not stupid (I hope) but have a slight consentration problem.
I want to upgrade from WM5.0 to Windows Mobile 6.1
(+Opera Mini, support for 8GB SDHC and TomTom 7)
I have: a HTC P3300 ARTE100
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.0.0
ROM version: 1.12.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 9/12/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version: 1.12.405.101
The device is not locked (I belive) because I can use any SIM I want in the phone.
I have tried to flash to SPL 1.11.cmon, but ended up with SPL 1.11.0000
So I downloaded and installed HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP This put my phone back to original, (SPL 1.12.0000)
Synced and copied enablerapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab Disconnected, and ran both of them.
I tried to run start_uspl.exe, but it will only try to update from current rom ver. 1.12.405.1 to ver.9.99
And after a while I get a message on my P3300:
Unable to open log file....
tiny_console_init done
And ROM ver. is back to SPL 1.12.0000
Suggestions anyone?

ok pm me and i will walk you though.
first update to the newest version of active sync thought.
next make sure your device is fully charged.
next back up all data from your device. flashing a new rom will erase all data.
next cid unlock read the first post and download the attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
after you have done this pm me.
as for opera just download one of the many prepacked opera cabs. here is a link to one that should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=281464&d=1266292843
to my limited knowledge of sdhc support and the p3300 all of the cooked roms have sdhc support cooked in. so when you get a newer rom on your phone sdhc should work.

Arggggh
I can use any SIM in my phone. Is CID unlock really neccesary?
I downloaded pof's Artemis_USPL and ran it, but it seems nothing was changed.
I too wants to change the ROM ver. from 1.12.405.1 to ver. 9.99
And the link to: HTC P3300 WWE factory rom - is dead.
But I found HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP another place.
I have also found and downloaded AndreW82_WM6.1_21056_Lite_v1.4_WWE.nbh
But am afraid to try to install it since my ROM is not ver. 1.11.cmon.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Downloaded Artemis_USPL
Synced and copied enablerapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab
Disconnected, and ran both of them.
Booted and Synced.
Started start_uspl
(wich opened a dos window)

my spl is 1.11.cmon so cid is already done and has been for a year, i have flashed several roms so i am not a noob at flashing..
the connection from my pc to artemis dsconnected during flash and now in bootloader.. it wont flash from sd..
i know how to use the mtty commands coz iv used it before, but cant remember how to get it to select USB from the 'port' menu..
*how do you get it to select usb?
i know how to use mtty but cant remember

Ai... I'm sorry man, I've never flashed an Artemis before and I don't have the tools to do it either. Maybe you should ask in #xda-dev on IRC?

...
I.m doing something wrong, but don't know what.
Phone on - connecting USB - phone syncs.
Start start_uspl.exe - at 100% screen goes white.
Softresetting - waiting for sync - then confirming on PDA Phone Update Utility.

Hi
Tought I should not try to install the .nbh file if USPL was not 1.11.cmon.
Btw:
One of the first steps is to take out the SD-card. Is that what I am doing wrong?
(Should I copy the AndreW82xxxx.nbh to my SD, and have it installed when I run the uspl/RUU?)

...
this is 1.11.cmon.. just try it..

...
take out sd card..
dont flash andrews rom..
do uspl with the one ive just uploaded on this thread..

This is obviously where I miss something.
the RUU_signed is a .nbh file.
So how do I start it?
Should I use activesync and put it on the phone and some how start it from there?
Or should I put it in the same folder as the uspl cmon, and then run the uspl?
Or is there another trick that I have missed?

put it in the uspl folder and overwrite the one inside..
then do uspl..

I also tried renaming the ruu_signed to arteimg.nbh

Can it be write-protected in some way?
And if so, how can I "unlock" the write protection?

So, if you read this post, and have the same problem as I had, here is how to do it:
Download attached file, unzip it, and read the install.txt

1.1.cmon is 1.11.cmon

I have a slight consentration problem, so I forgot that I am only half way.
I have downloaded a couple of .nbh files (AndreW82, Touch 4.02, Tom Black v5.0).
I have not yet decided wich one to use.
I want to install TomTom7 and Opera Lite + support for 8GB SDHC.
Now I just have to figure out how to install one of the .nbh files.
