put it in bootloader pwr+cam+reset hole then try to flash again
ughh.
im in bootloader mode to keep it from restarting which rom should i go to. like a stock verizon one.
Use icoke 2.31 first to unlock the phone. Then flash the rom you want using BootLoader. I think thats what your problem is. I had the same problem because I am a N00b at this as well.
first unlock using cokeman's unlocker.

optional step:
go back to stock rom
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19071
then go into bootloader
(power+ camera+reset hole)
and flash
nfsfans 6.5
i actually used .41 unlocker and i had to update radio, use another carrier's rom, and reunlocked it to 2.31 unlocker then flashed it back to stock rom, unlocked it again, and now i have nfsfan's 6.5 and it works GREAT.

Hey all,
I am sorry posting the repeated question again, but this has a bit of a twist, and to this, i searched and didnt find any answer around.
My friends just bought a HTC P3300 from China. It came with a chinese DOPOD rom.
I had the original Shipped htc rom with me there so i upgraded my 1st friends mobile, with the shipped rom successfully, and then upgraded it to wm6 successfully.
now when i flashed my 2nd friend's device with the HTC Shipped rom, the upgrade process went to 3% and then the device just restarted and got stuck on the Initial dopod boot screen.
It is not moving from there.
So i downladed a couple of other roms, including the DOPOD ship rom,. but when i try to upgrade it, it says " ERROR:200, The Upgrade Software is outdated" kinda message!
now can someone please guide me how can i bring alive my friends rom, what is it i should do to successfully install some rom in it in English.
Please help!
thanks a lot!
Hi all,,
Please someone help me out with this problem...
Which rom should i try, or what is the problem with this?
Thanks a lot.
Did you cid unlock the hone either with USPL or IMEIcheck? If so, you should be able to load an OEM rom back on the phone. Try the HTC WWE WM5 rom or the German WM6...I dont see any reason why an unlocked phone wont accept at least one of those.
hi itschase...
No, i dont know if it was cid unlocked or not.
About USPL or IMEICHECK, nothign was done on it.
As i mentioned, one phone got flashed successfully, but the other failed!
I have tried the HTC WWE WM5 shipped rom, if thats what u are hinting to, but not the German WM6.
I have a crazy idea...
My phone is not bricked, but I was able to try running the USPL ROM Update utility on my phone from bootloader. I have zero idea if this would unbrick your phone, but its worth a shot - cant get much worse (or can it?). Download the USPL file, and run just the rom update utility with your phone in bootloader. After it resets your phone, put it back into bootloader and try reinstalling an OEM rom. I am probably wasting your time, but its worth a shot....
s
aaaaa
llllll
Insane Devil:
you need original rom for your device (with correct model id).
this should flash your device.
in the future, install uspl on your device before upgrading rom.
regards,
Factory Roms should be able to help u out in this...?

Good Idea but ... not correct!
Your device might be CID locked and you were able to run USPL from bootloader, because ... you already have had USPL. Am I right?
Hi Guys i need some help.
I wanted to try out the new Bell UI wich is pretty cool but no functional for my self. So i have tried numerous time to go back to the stock Telus ROM but my phone keeps freezing and go load the ROM. I am using the upgrade utility from juicy's page and the Telus stock ROM he has posted. It will go as far as showinf the status bar and then there is an error. The loader wants you to go through recovery mode but my phone is stuck and i need to pull the battery and it just boots like normal. This happened as well when i flashed to juicy's rom.Any help would be awesome.
There are questions... does your phone change to the 3 colour boot screen?
If yes then you get the error... maybe you flashed back to the telus locked pcl and are actually flashing a custom rom built off of the telus oem package?
If it is the original telus rom it should flash without issue using either original pcl or unlocked pcl. Maybe you should reflash the unlocked pcl then flash the telus rom... then flash the pcl back to stock.
I have check to make sure it it unlocked. I just ran the upgrade utility right now to make sure it was unlocked. I get the three color screen it says security unlocked. So when i go to upgrade it to the telus stock ROM which i downloaded from juicy's page it will load through the three color screen and show the status bar at 0% and the the upgrade utility goes into recovery mode. I take the battery out and it starts up like nothing has happen. I dont know what to do any more with this thing
If the rom you have is indeed the stock telus rom... then try flashing back the locked ipl then do the rom upgrade... what I was getting at before was maybe the ipl rom is corrupt.
Hi thanks for you help. I have just tried re locking the phone with the diamond re locker from juciy's page . It said everything was fine and then i tried to upgrade to the telus stock rom and it did the same thing. when you say "flashing back the locked ipl" what does that mean. Sorry ...... did what it said on pocket PC geeks to lock the phone again. thanks in advance
You covered the bases, and it doesn't sound too good... the fact that you were able to reflash the relocked ipl and it still failed is hard to understand why it won't flash the os itself, could be a comm error with the usb? Do you have another machine you can try the flash on... guys like juicy or other c4rbon members could probably help with some insturction on pushing the rom via a terminal session with the phone but I'm not sure.
use again Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, and after try the stock rom, i had the same problem with htc stock rom, hope it will work for you to.
Hi
I have tried what you sudgest but when i run that one is will not even get to the loader three color screen ......just locks freezes the phone with the color wheel showing. dammmm i dont know what to do now arrrrgggg!!!!!
Im trying to load a custom rom onto my XV6900. I got everything together and went a head but ran into an issue. I'll start with all the phones history. I got it and then when the update to 6.1 leaked I installed that. Now just recently I started by following this tutorial http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html. I completed everything up until install upgraded radio with no problems. Then on this step I kept having an issue where it would flash loding but then just go to the boot screen and not do anything. After playing with it for a while I figured maybe the 6.1 update took care of this so I moved on. I got the same problem with the next step which after a little bit I figured out was because I wasnt formatting the card correctly. So then I started the ROM flash with no problem. It loaded and the progress bar completely filled up quickly. The issue is now it is just stuck saying update in progress and has been for about 20 min. Im not sure if its because I didnt do the radio update or if its somthing else. I figured before I do anything I would see what people suggest I should do next. Should I soft reset? Do you think its bricked now or will I be able to try another flash? Please let me know where to go from here. Oh and also the rom im trying to flash is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487

Ok, just try and download nfsfan's 6.5 rom, put you phone in bootloader mode, (power,camera, softreset) The colored icoke screen should come up. Connect your phone to your computer with your usb cabe, on the bottom of the screen it will say usb connected (or something like that). Than just run RomUpdateUtility in the zip file you downloaded with the rom. It will connect to your phone and update it. After it's done, before it loads into windows perform a hard reset (send key, end key, and softreset). Once it's doing restoring again, allow it to boot up.
Should be okay after that. I've done several of them with no issue. Sometimes in rare cases you need to flash the latest bell rom first, and than update to nfsfan's 6.5 after that. Don't worry it won't 'relock' your phone.
Good luck
Ok here is an update on the phone. I tried installing the radio update but it froze on cdma. So then I grabed the verizon 6.1 update and reflashed it. So now im back to square one. What steps should I follow from wm 6.1 to a custom rom? Do I need to do the radio update or is the Rev A. included in the 6.1 update enough? If I need to do the radio update how would I go about that? Then is there a better process to follow for the ROM install?

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you simply want to flash a custom ROM or do you want to unlock the GPS too? If you are trying to unlock the GPS then this tutorial may not help you. http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html
I assume that your phone is already unlocked with 2.31. Once your phone is unlocked all you need to do is flash your custom ROM. This is unless you want to unlock the GPS. I would not worry about upgrading your radio just to upgrade it as there probably no benefit. I wouldn’t do it unless you knew of someone in your area that had success with better signal.
If you want to unlock your GPS I would follow this tutorial. As people have had success.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom
[6] Skip
I would recommend using NFSFAN’s ROM. The above procedure should allow you to use your GPS with TomTom, Garmin, & such.
do the tutorial above for gps.
and if you need more info or want stuff to customize it, go to my faq,
but the above walkthrough is the one you want if you plan to use gps.
Hello XDA-ers.
I've flashed my phone with the new ROM from the htc website.
And today i wanted to put Dutty's ROM on it, but it wouldnt flash.. the update would get stuck on 0% and then nothing happens for 20 minutes..
I also tried the udK_Lea_R5_MW6.5_WWE rom but the same thing happened.
Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks in advance
You need to use Hard-SPL.
READ THIS and follow instructions!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
Simple things first:
Have you run HardSPL? (Latest version is required, 1.83 at time of writing).
Have you tried loading into Bootloader manually before attempting to flash? (Hold VolDown when powering on).
If those fail, try and identify what has changed since you flashed the original ROM.
Aaah didnt knew i needed HardSPL..
First time i flashed my ROM it immidiatly worked =p
Thought that ROM screwed my phone in ever being flashed again .
Just needed the HardSPL ^^
Working smooth now, thanks !
I'm sick and tired of not having tethering or custom alerts, so I want to install a custom rom on my surround. I'm trying to downgrade my SPL to 1.52 so I can install HSPL, but I can't find a TELUS one anywhre.
The only one I have seen is Ansar's, but his links are dead. I can't post the links yet as i don't have 10 posts.
Does anyone know of where I can get the stock TELUS 1.52 SPL from, or where I can get Ansar's?
Thanks in advance!
I have two Telus Surrounds and I used this rom from Cingular to roll back the spl so that I could unlock it with DFT HSPL Version 3, and then you can load any custom rom you want. If you can't load the rom you might have to use the gold card with a memory stick.

I tried that one but it said invalid vendor id. I assumed that was because I had a Telus phone and not a Cingular one.
I should mention that I'm running 7.8 with bootloader 4.22.2250.0(129185) and firmware 2250.21.40200.661

I was successfully able to download and install the rom onto my phone. Now it's readying SPL 1.4.2250.2(113577) and then tried to install RSPL, but the phone would not reboot. I tried resetting the phone as some others indicated, but to no avail.
I then upgraded the phone to NODO using cab sender successfully and tried to RSPL, again the phone wouldn't reboot after completion.
Any ideas?

Great, now I can't even upgrade my phone using zune or cab sender anymore... I'm stuck on NODO.
Does anyone have the STOCK Telus ROM, and not the modified one like the one provided?

Telus rom is a test rom
you flash telus just to take its touch driver and radio
then you flash default shipped rom (delete SPL_Signed.nbh from shipped rom to save the drivers you got from telus)
then you can go with spl tools
thnx

When you say Flash Default Shipped ROM, are you meaning the TELUS one, or the Cingular one?
I then update using RUU or GoldCard?

The Default rom that you can name it shipped is Cingular
u use TELUS ROM when you have a trouble with touch driver ( like lock screen bug ) , or when u have trouble in call transmission driver ( making , reciving call problems )
note: u can't flash telus rom with goldcard method else you have a security unlocked bootloader !!
u can flash TELUS ROM with rom utility that come with it
after you take benefit of flashing telus, u cannot go with it, u have to return to Cingular one, note: delete SPL_signed.nbh from Cingular Rom to save drivers that u installed from TELUS, then you go with spl tools
sorry for my bad english

I don't quite understand. My phone was bought for, and is on the TELUS network. I had upgraded it to 7.8 using cab sender, but really wanted some features (Wifi Tethering, Custom Alerts), so I tried the custom ROM route.
The only thing I've been able to successfully install on it is the TELUS Test ROM, and upgrade it to NODO using Zune (Mango updates failed - I think because it wants a newer firmware, which I have the cab files, but they fail installing)
The Telus Test ROM that I had downloaded uses firmware 22.50.09.10402.661 and bootloader: 1.4.2250.2 (113577).
If I try to install RSPL/HSPL right now, the phone does not restart after completion, thus never gets into RSPL mode to do HSPL.
I recall trying to use RUU to put on Cingular ROM, however it always failed, I believe saying that Vendor ID is invalid.
I'm really frustrated with this, but I don't know how to move forward to install RSPL/HSPL.

steps to solve all of your problem
cus your device originally on telus network , you cannot install Cingular while you have locked bootlooader
solution :
1- search in forums about , unlocking boot loder
2- unlock your bootloader ( you know that your bootloader is unlocked when u see on the top of your screen , "security unlocked" when you enter the boot screen (4 colored screen)
3- install Cingular ROM and you will succeed in that after u unlock your bootloader\
4- using spl tools now u can unlock spl to get HSPL
5- install cerebellum 7.8 ROM that will find all features enabled on it ( internet sharing , etc)
and you don't need zune update anymore
note: you will find it hard to unlock your bootloader but it worth try
search in other devices forums , all are same

RSPL/HSPL is unlock bootloader not deeply enough to allow you to change the hole operator ROM , (change from telus to cingular)
you have to full unlock bootloader

I'm really not finding anything useful here... I see a lot for Android, but nothing for an HTC Windows Phone. Are you referring to an IMEI unlock? ChevronWP7? Unbranding? Interop Unlock? WP7 Root Tools?
