Having some trouble with AKU3.2, device reboots on RUU.exe

Hi guys
I'm using an orange switzerland branded m5000, and I use buzz's unlocker yesterday to remove the SIM Lock on it. Appears top have worked fine, as I can use my wifes SIM card in it now(different provider).
However, I'm now trying to flash AKU 3.2 (Ivan's version) to my device. I let it connect to my PC with activesync, then start the RUU.exe. The screen that shows me the current versions, and what I'm upgrading to appears, and I click next. Then the small window with "gathering information from device" appears, and stays there. After about 30 seconds, my m5000 spontaneously reboots. Consequently, after another minute or two, I get a 101 connection error from the RUU.exe.
What am I doing wrong here?
Besides: My device currently (post-unlocking) claims to be running Radio V. 0.00.00, and the AKU3.2 upgarde screen claims it will only upgrade the CE Version, is this right? Am I now forever stuck of Radio V 0?

It worked now, please ignore
Ok, it worked. I dl'ed and flashed the 3.2 JasJar Rom first, and then Ivans beta14 worked. It's really quite a noticeable speed up. Thanks to everyone who spent their precious time developing these things.
Now all I have to do is get my providers MMS and GPRS and 3G settings back to normal.

Elf turns off when you turn the screen off. Any thoughts before I take back my Elf?

As the title says, I have an Elf & when you press the power button (which is meant to turn the screen on and off) it shuts the device off instantly.
I first tried doing a hard reset
Then I tried another rom, to see if it was to do with the OS
& then I tried two other roms.
Ive still got the same problem.
Thinking of taking it back to the place I got it.
Anyone got any thoughts on any solution before I take it back?
Im thinking its a hardware problem that I cant really solve.

which spl are you using? I had a similar prob when i upgraded my rom to 6.1, but aftr using 3.07 spl, problems were gone..

I was using 3.07, but it doesnt matter now.
I took it back to the shop (with all accessories etc) and they replaced it for me. I feel bad about hastling them.
I took them an Elf, but apparently they have given me a Elfin, but on their system, they both just come up as p3450
But it works! thats the main thing.
and its gold and shiny.

Maybe somebody know how to solve this problem without turn elf back to the shop?)
I have same problem but haven't a chance to turn it back) 3.07 spl also

I had exactly this problem before I knew I have an Elfin.
I flashed Elf Roms on my Elfin, that caused the problem.
It boots regularly, but it will do a soft reset every X
minutes. Then I flashed an Elfin Rom and everything
works fine ^^

Maybe I'm wrong, but i think its Elf. It has 64Ram & 128 Flash, or they may not correctly view after flash or i dont understand differences?
It boots regulary every X minutes because it goes to sleepeng mode if device is not using. If this option off, it will not boot by its own, only if i press power button(

Help, my device is broken?

My Touch HD doesnt respond, it hangs and restarts itself all the time. Today it chrashed totally and I cant start it no more. It comes to the text "smart mobility" then the softwareinfo in the right lower corner pops up and nothing more happens..
I cant do a hardreset. (tried with volumebuttons and powerbutton at the same time)
I cant upgrade the software..
Anyone had this issue before?
Servicecentre?
Sad times...

Cokey,
Can you even put it into the bootloader mode?
Cheers.

Ehrm, whats bootloader mode?

hold vol down, and press power on (keep holding volume down until screen comes on)
you should see a screen of 3 coloured bars
if you can do this, you should be also able to do hard reset. for a hard reset make sure you hold both the volume buttons down, and keep them held after you press power on
Tom

Okey, havent tried that yet. But hardreset wont work, with both volumekeys and power on...

I've just tried that bootloader mode and that works but a hardreset isnt working. It starts up as written above then the display fades out a bit. Nothing more happens...
Darn it...

Cokey,
All is not lost, don't worry. If you can get into Bootloader mode, then you will be able to flash a new ROM onto it. Go to the ROM section and follow crackwhore's very detailed guide.
Have fun flashing!
Cheers.

Thx for the help...
After maybee 20 hardresets starts it finally started...
All seems ok with it right now... Will leave it on over the night so Im sure it wont hang/restart again..
Again thx for the help..
(Flashing is something I wanna try but I really want my OS to be in Swedish )

I have the same issues. I am constantly reflashing the ROM because the phone will not last more than a day before being stuck on the Smart Mobility screen.
I have been flashing all of Dutty's different ROMs including LEO R4 and WM 6.5 R14 Turbo, WM 6.1 etc every day for the past week. It still freezes daily and when reboot, it gets stuck on Smart Mobility Screen. I am ready to throw it in the bin!
Anyone got any ideas. Flashing ROMs isn't working or fixing it as I have tried all sorts. I have also upgraded the Radio yesterday, still doesn't help. Tried also a new SD card, again, still freezes.

Have you tried reverting back to stock rom to see if problem persists? If so, return device under warranty

J,
USPL or HSPL? Do you install any applications, or do you leave it as it is and it still crashes in a day?
Cheers.

No luck
I think my warranty is out the window when I tampered with the screws and broke the VOID Warranty sticker.
I have used both USPL and HSPL and same issues occurs. I think I have narrowed it down... if I don't touch the onboard memory, ie not install anything to the onboard memory or touch it too much in that area, then it will tend to be okay. It starts to freeze and lock up at Smart Mobility Screen whenever I copy stuff or active sync etc.... so far anyway.
Looks like its going in the bin... last resort tomorrow, revert back to stock rom and see how long it lasts.

Screen won't turn on?

Hello,
I've got a problem with my Blackstone. I just flashed the latest topix Rom trough SD card and all went well (rom update:succes), and then i did a HR. But ever since then the screen won't turn on. I tried to softreset, hardreset, removing the battery for a few minutes and turn on, and entering bootloader. The screen stayed black. When i plug in the usb charge cable the orange led does go on, and when i press the power button the phone vibrates for half a second and plays the bootsound (as usual). I can even get an activesync connection with my pc.
Suggestions anyone?
Edit: Just flashed a new Rom (the latest energyrom); screen still stays black. I am still able to get an activesync connection + orange/green led
EDIT2: people in this thread seem to be having thesame problem I have with my blackstone. It seems to be a hardware defect... Now let's hope it will be repaired under warranty

Ok, I'm replying instead of editing because I've got a new problem now
I want to return my phone to claim warranty. I did manage to flash a stock rom + radio, but the problem is i use hspl and i am unable to flash a stock spl to the device. When I run the Hardsplwrapper-Blackstone.exe (doesnt matter wether its the unsigned olinex or the 1.56 olinex version) I get a 260: connection error when i use Windows XP, and a 202: connection error when using Windows 7.
The wiki says to run SSPL manually from a file explorer in your phone... But without a working screen that is a bit hard. I als don't have any screen viewing app installed on my device...
EDIT: also tried installing mymobiler to be able to view the screen but I am unable to connect...
Anyone?

I managed to flash stock spl by putting the device in bootloader manually while I had it connected to usb. Then I waited til the bootloader connected to my pc (I could tell because the "new hardware found"screen popped up). then I ran the hspl.exe and copied the stock .nbh spl file. After that I was able to finish the wizard

ok, another question (sorry mods for replying to my own thread _again_ )
I flashed a stock rom + radio and stock SPL (version 1.14). Is this enough to be able to claim warranty, or will HTC find out that i've been using HSPL and custom firmwares? I wouldn't like to have to pay for repairs because they find out about that.

White screen after flashing!!

Hi all,
I have a Treo Pro GSM, and have been loving the phone moreso ever since the custom ROM scene started improving! Thanks to Cmonex, Nightraven and Heechee for all their hard work!
Unfortunately, last week, my Treo decided to just white screen on me. I think I did everything right ... upgraded to HardSPL, and then used the Custom RUU that came with each respective Custom ROM.
I installed Nightraven and it worked well ... even did the hard reset after flashing. I then installed Heechee's newest build (forgotten the number), and then flashed, but shortly after this... the white screen appeared. Now all I see is a white screen. Even when I put it into tri-color mode, all I see it Whitescreen. I know it's in bootloader mode however, because I am able to flash roms and enter MTTY.
I can hear windows mobile start up and I think the touchscreen responds to my pressing, but nothing shows onscreen.
I have even tried replacing the LCD and the same thing happens.
Tried MTTY as well ... did tasks 32, 28, 29 55aa and all went through ok, but no improvements.
Tried to reinstall HardSPL, Original 6.1 ROM and back to NightRaven.
None of these made any improvements.
Is there anything else I can try? Or is this now a hardware issue?
I don't have warranty anymore
Thanks,
