I was updating my new i-mate SP3 (typhoon) to the latest i-mate ROM 2.4.33.11 which completed successfully but now every time I turn on the phone it goes directly to the bootloader tri-color screen. I tried several times to update the ROM again but it does'nt help. It shows the proccess completed successfully but the phone is still stuck in bootloader mode.
In the bootloader screen it shows the following
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.5.0102
I even tried to flash the ROM through an image of Orange4114_ALL_SPL1010091 on a miniSD card but it gives an error message
"Not allowed update!"
Please help me figure out how to get my phone working again.
Same PROBLEM here HELP..!
Exactly the same problem if anybody can help ..please do.
spl
hi
same problem my sp3
SPL
Same problem on spv c500 stuck in bootloader but with 2.05.0130 SPL
sp3i stuck
Hi all,
I have the same problem, but I didn't try the mini-sd boot.
surfturtle, will you kindly send me the way?
Thanks
Hi guys...
I don't have the Typhoon and don't know if this will work for you, but this is at least how we fix this problem on the Hermes:
Enter into bootloader using mtty.exe and run the command "set 14 0" and "task 8". Phone will reboot and start OS.
If it doesn't work, then try the SD flash method mentioned by surfturtle. Keep in mind that if your device is not superCID the image file should match the CID of your phone (must be an original shipped update from your vendor). This method consist on:
1) extract the rom image from the rom upgrade exe (winrar or cabextract can be used for that) and you'll find a .nbf file.
2) Rename it to TYPHIMG.nbf
3) Format your SD card in FAT32
4) Put TYPHIMG.nbf on the root folder of your SD card
5) put sd card on the phone, and enter into bootloader
6) confirm flashing on screen, and wait until the process is finished (do not reset it, will take about 30min).
Check the hermes wiki if you need more information on any of this.
Good luck!
sp3i stuck
thanks pof,
but where would I get mtty.exe and where will I see "set 14 0" & "task 8"
thanks again.

I-mate ROM
Hi, I did the upgrade through the PC but the device info still shows the old ROM: 2.1.33.13 No error messages and the phone keeps hanging on me.
Is this version of ROM the Arabic one? If not, can someone post or point to where I can download the arabic version? I did not find it on the I-mate website.
Thanks in advance,
I-mate SP3 (?rom 2.1.33.13)
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.
Before anyone ask's I have read all the posts regarding installing the Hard SPL but still have the same problem.
When I connect through Vista 32 via WMDC it recognizes my device fine, I then follow the steps in the tutorials but as soon as I press the button to update the ROM image it goes into the 3 colour screen and then into the updating ROM progress bar were it sits at 0% for ever.
My WMDC has disconnected at this stage and then I get a screen saying communication error which is obvious as WMDC has disconnected.
Is this a WMDC issue/ Vista or am I missing something
I then have to soft reset and it just re boots into my standard ROM.
Any advice woiuld be greatly appreciated
hello
1) connect your polaris to PC
2) run update utility
3) when you see 3 color screen unplug USB and replug it immediately
4) your SPL flash may start
5) when flash end correctely your polaris reboot
6) Flash any ROM you want
Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried doing exactly as you have stated.
Unplug and reconnect in the 3 colour bar screen, after which it goes into the updating screen and sits at 0% for ages until communication error comes up.
My WMDC has disconnected and does not reconnect.
I'm at my wits end!!
Do it from MicroSD, before format it in FAT 32, after rename the file .nbh in POLAIMG.nbh e copy in your microSD, put microSD in Polaris e put it in bootloader ( photo + softreset ) you will see something like IPL, bootloader, SPLASH1, SPLASH2, gsm & OS, press POWER button and wait, it might be long,
never put off microSD, when it finishes soft reset, in the same way you can flash any ROM, always format microSD before.

I think hard-spl can not be installed with sdcard method!
Why not ??? With Trinity you can do it.
cheers guy's for the feedback ,but not sure about the SD method unless someone can confirm it works for Orbit 2/ Cruise.
Somebody out there must have had the same issue as me regards this....what did you do to resolve.
Cheers

But this is not Trinity...Try it...
I know You can flash polaris if you use jumpspl (this is used by hard-spl flash) or hard-spl (this is used by os and radio flash).
But if you have original spl on you pda, and you want to flash with sd card, you will not use nor jumpspl neither hard-spl.

hi there.
try to hard spl with your sd card not in the device.
go in to bootloader mode (BL mode - by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone and release when tricolor screen appears),
now connect the device to your pc (it should show usb in the white part)
flash what you may... hard spl first, oli's recomended by me.
ItayE,
Did you try the hard-spl flash with sd method? Does it work?
I didn't read it was Vista compliant so I ran it from a windows XP SP2 machine with Active Sync 4.5.
I did mine by taking out the SIM card and the SD Card then resettting and running the HardSPL.
HTH

Cheers for the advice guys I have managed to do it.
I used the Hard-SPL-V2 first which worked fine then I flashed to one of A.Serg roms, very nice and quick it is too.
However my reception bars are down to 2 from 4 that I previously had, although the reception seems ok.
Sim: O2 UK
Rom: 1.52.ASerg.4 WWE
The radio version I have is: 1.58.25.14
Now this is were I am confused.
Can I flash the radio Rom without affecting the o/s Rom, I have downloaded a couple of radio rom versions but not sure if you do it the same way as I am scared of over writing something.
Also could anybody advise if they are in UK on O2 which version gives best reception.
Any further advice much appreciated.
Hello,
i have a HTC Elf 128/256 with rom ONYX 3.0 (after hard reset ).
The USB connector in built-in the phone is a kind of broken:
can charge the battery with the USB cable but can't synchronize.
The device is discovered with errors in windows task bar.
I tried to sync some more phones and they work.
Now i want to use the warranty but the phone has a cooked ROM.
Is there anyway to reset the phone to a warranty supported ROM?
I have tried to flash with the sdcard but had no results in the tricolor menu.
If someone has any suggestion, i really need it!
Thanks!!

What kind of SPL do you have on your Touch? What;s your device CID?
You should be able to flash a stock ROM (if one exists) from SD for sure.
Hello,
here is the info you asked for:
Device ID: ELF010050
CID : HTC__506
IPL: 2.20.0002
SPL: 2.26.0000pof
ROM version : 2.27.80.1
ExtROM version : Cooked by dsixda
Operator version: Onyx 3.0
AKU version : 1.2.6
Page Pool: 8 MB
RAM Size : 128 MB
ROM Size : 256 MB
Model No. : ELF0300
Part Number: 99HEH034-00
MCC+MNC: Not found
I can access the Storage Card from the file Explorer in the ELF, but can´t flash the ROM.
I am trying to flash with a cooked rom (ONYX 4.0). This process should only bedone with stock ROM's or it works with cooked rom's too?
Thanks!!
I already tried to flash the ELF from the SD Card with the stock ROM that suits my CID and SPL.
No results flashing from the card.
When the ELF boots in tricolor mode, how can i start the flashing process?
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks!
Hello piriri
on the ELF upgrading forum, look for the one that says restoring your Touch via the bootscreen.
once on bootscreen, make sure you have the original stock rom (check the HTC site for details). ELF for ELF, ELFIN for ELFIN. If you're using an ELF, get the 1.11x rom, flash it and you'll be back. 2.20x for elfin.
make sure you uncheck the part that makes your usb connect "advance network connectivity" on your settings. then your elf will be fine.
peace
Hello Samaral
First thank you for your answer, but i can´t synchronize the ELF to computer through USB, i have the USB connector broken in the phone!
I need to flash a ROM without using the USB cable!
I tried flashing from the SD Card but it's not starting thr flashing process...
Maybe i can have a help from someone??please??
Thank you!

Make sure your SD is formatted in FAT32 not FAT
I've got the same problem,is it possible to do a rom update via bleutooth?
Hello
I have this problem since i change my rom to Onix( i don't remember what version)
Bu if you try several times one time it gonna work and then put the other ROM ( I put Onyx 4.0) and know works great.
Sometimes you have to put the cable and wait 5 minutes to start the sync.
Try and then tell us if you succeed.
joao M
It might be this..
On some devices I've noticed that the metal strips within the connector (in the phone, top part of the connector usually) looses away from its original position, this actually results in the problem you mentioned. If its not broken you may be able to unbend it and restore it to the original position with a thin pin or something of that sort. This should make things work again.
To prevent this from keep happening just be carefull when you plug/unplug your cables into it. Be gentle when inserting the cable and make sure to put the pressure to insert it only when its in the exact position.
hope this helps... good luck
Try first
Hi Piriri
another simple check before all the rom flashing,
1-change the cable, worked for me more than once.
2-go to Settings>>>Connections (in some roms System)>>>>Usb to Pc>>>>uncheck "enable...etc".
I hope it helps
Hi, what´s the name of file by flash from sdcard? in polaris the name is POLAIMG.* and in elfin?
Install the latest activesync
My guess is that your pc is running windows xp.. and you have not installed the latest activesync on your system.. you can download the latest activesync installer(version4.5) from www.microsoft.com/en/us/downloads.aspx/.. install that and then reconnect your device.. if you are running windows vista.. try to update the usb drivers.. again you can download these drivers from microsoft.. you will have to search for the appropriate drivers and then install them..
If you want to send it back under warranty, mine went back to tmobile with a cooked rom. they didnt say anything but flashed it with the rom that looked like a stock nike rom!
when you enter in bootloader mode before the trecolor screen you can see a white screen flasing, well, at this white screen is where you can flash from the sd, if your phone dont stay there and ask you to press power buttom to flash its cause you havent a proper sd, i meant fat 32 formated sd with ONLY one file in it named elf0img.nbh, if you use it correctly it have to work por narices
Hi,
I'm kind of new around here.
My problem is as follows:
- TyTN running PaysRom for about 9 months
- Started to get very sluggish
- Unable to get signal
When i booted my HTC the 'R' and 'G' that appear on screen and used to have values in front of it now display 'none'.
So, I connected it to my PC, 'activesynced' it and tryed to install a new ROM, hoping it would solve the problem.
But the new ROM wasn't installed sucessfully and now all I got is a brick.
I can't even connect it to ActiveSync since it's not recognized.
Is there any solution to my problem?
TIA,
hype
Can you get to the Bootloader?
Yes..
By pressing the Ok+Power+Reset on the bottom button, I see the 'RGB'+white thingie, that I believe is the bootloader..
What SPL do you have? Is it Hard SPL V7(2.10)?
If it is, use the sd card method to install a new ROM.
remember to backup your card 1st.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of the ROM you want onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert card into Hermes and reset into bootloader.
3. If all things have been done right, follow the prompts....
If the radio ROM has died, I'd suggest trying to flash the Shipped Stock ROM 1st and see if that actually fixes the problem with the blank values on R & G. WM06 upgrade of shipped carrier ROM should also work.
Cheers...
Tks for your response.
I tryed the SD Card method already, with no sucess.
The red stripe shows as follows:
Code:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.03
Everytime I tryed on another ROM I always perfomed it using SafeSPL.
Since I don't have 2.1, what can I do?
Tks for all ur help.
What happens when you try and flash a ROM over?
Do you get any kind of error?
You need to find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. WM06 upgrade should be OK as the CID should match.
Put Hermes into bootloader and connect to PC after unticking "Allow USB Connections" in Activesyncs settings on the PC.
Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe file of the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. ven though activesync won't etect it, the flash file should. Follow the prompts.
Good luck as this seems to be the only way to fix this.
Good Luck...
You might be able to flash a Stock WM5 ROM using the SD Card method. Worked for me when I had SPL 2.03. In fact that's the only ROM it would let me flash over when mine bricked.
