Getting rid of TMobile ROM

I had the XDA special edition ROM on my XDA-I. for some stupid reason i downloaded the TMobile WM2003 ROM from ROMKitchen and ugraded it but i hate it n m trying to get rid of it. Now i have seen in the posts that TMobile ROMs have a problem where they do not let u change the ROMs again using the Program A methods so i m tryin to use the SDCard method, i dont see the screen that allows me to do that when i have the SD card with the image in the slot. Presumably i m doing something wrong while creating the image. I m doing it using XDATools OSImageTool, i have another ROM image NB1 file from ROMKitchen as welll i select that as the source, i select the XDA SD Card slot as the destination and copy over the image. but when i reset with the power button pressed i get the Wallaby color screen and not the flashing screen that i m supposed to see.. Can somebody tell me what i m doing wrong?
thanx

Looks like the rom didn't get wriiten correct on the SD-Card, or you have the wron bootloader version on your device.
Try writing the ROM-Image via an external SD-Writer.
You can also try backing up old ROM to your SD via Bootloader and then look if you're able to reinstall it on your device....
Stefan

stefan thanx for your reply. The bootloader version that shows up when i do a restart with power switch pressed is V5.14, Is that the correct version? Is there anyway to check or insure if the image has been written correctly on the SD card?
I do not have access to an external SD card writer so that option is out the window.

The old ROM i presume is gone? but is there a way? or can i use some other method? I noticed there is this USB flashing thingie if i press the volume button. Any pointers you can give me to use that?
thanx bunches for your help!

Maybe it's a problem of the bootloader. Never had Version 5.14.
You could also try this and then try to reflash your device:
# Download the XDATools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip and extract them
# Go to a DOS prompt and CD to where you have extracted the XDATools
# Type 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' to write the Wallaby 5.15 boot loader to the device.
The output looks like this:
D:\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader_40116 bl515.nb0
Copying D:\XDAtools\binaries\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
in FindFlashInfoOffset
protection found at 8c0d60f8
result: 00000000 00000000

stefan when i try to do that, the first message that pops up is "Do not run this tool unless; you want to downgrade your 5.17 bootloader to 5.15 you have somehow managed to overwrite... "
Now i do not know if i have 5.17 or no.. as i said i had given you the version from the screen that comes up when u reset while pressing the power switch..
in any case i did a yes.. and it said "Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect"
thanx bunches!

stefan.. sorry if i m being a pain.. as i mentioned in the last post the bootloader doesnt work.. i think my problem is similar to these guys
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7646
but i do not have access to an external SD card writer.. so i was looking at this article..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2110
i have the mtty utility and i can get to the USB prompt, can i somehow use that to flash the bootloader and the rom? where do i get those files and emm is the method safe?
thanx again for your help

oh btw.. i saw this post..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21264
i went over the steps that u had mentioned for making the SD card.. from the device itself..
You require a SD-Card with >= 64 MB
XDAtools ftp://[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Your downloaded ROM from my kitchen
step1) Boot your XDA up normal and connect via active sync (guest partnership is ok)
step2) Copy all your data of your sd-Card to your local PC otherwise all data on it will be gone
step3) Enter bootloader of your device by pressing On/Off and doing a softreset
step4) After the Message GSM OK press the Contact Button of your device
step5) Navigate with the pad to "CE+BOOT TO SD"
step6) Confirm this with the Action Key (Press the middle of the Navigate-Pad)
step7) After finishing enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
step8) Bootloader should tell you something tah OS is detected on your SD-Card
If No -> Problem
If Yes -> continue
i have problems more advice?
thanx bunches!

one thing.. if i take CE+ROM->SD of another device (going a reset with power switched pressed and pressing contacts button), and i put that SD card in my device and boot, i shud get an option to update the ROM from the SD card right?
if i dont.. is there anything that i can do?
thanks

Same problem. couldn't even boot up using an SD card. I can't even find the wallaby patch
I tried OSImageTool to flash using USB Activesync.
here's what showed up.

pick the color you want for example RS_Bar_blue.png and RS_Ind_blue.png and rename them to RS_Bar.png and RS_Ind.png then copy to \windows folder and allow to overwrite the original ones, I included in the zip file the original color just in case you want to go back to it.

Man, great work Poorlyduck, let me just give this thread a bump. I used the yellow random access along with the other yellow cube and htc home icons you provided, my mogul looks real nice! Thanks!

Poorlyduck,
Excellent tool. Hopefully will be appended to a ROM or 2 somewhere, with your permission.
Thanks for the excellent work.
WB

thank you guys for all comments.
@wacky.banana you definitly have my permission to use them anywhere you want, enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL!!
Among all HTC's shipped softwares, random access might be the most practical one. However, it's black-grey bar just doesn't see eye to eye to roms with non-htc-black&grey-interface. Your work just make everything perfect! thank you a lot!!

the green is poppin!

THANKS

The Color Is .. Wow... What Can I Say~~~~~
THANK YOU

Access denied
I also get the access denied message, so probably the files are open.
However, besides Active Sync (which I cannot kill for some reason) there's nothing running. How can I overwrite the files?

you cant overwrite the file from the pc to your device if its protected, so you need to move it to storage card or somewhere beside windows folder, and use your device to move the file to windows folder.

I cannot get these to work at all. The files on my device are read-only and I cannot replace them from my PC or when I put the files on my storage card and try to copy them into the Windows folder. It gives me an error about memory and making sure the files aren't read-only or in use. Any ideas?

first make sure contacts (random access) is closed, leaving the app running will prevent you from changing the images. Then using resco explorer (or any other 3rd party file explorer) copy the files from teh storage card to the random access folder (typically this will be the \windows folder). If prompt with a warnign about overwriting ROM files, go ahead and ok the prompt.

That didn't work for me. I downloaded Resco File Explorer and copied the files from my storage card to the windows folder, overwrote the files and nothing changed.

I've had the same problem - tried the storage card, tried Rescoe - what else can I try?

welcome to my world! I can't seem to get random access working on my touch either....says it doesn't have perms to install....aggravating...

My P4350 won't start anymore

My Herald doesn't start anymore the battery was empty the day before I charged it.. I also answered a call when the battery was almost empty.. after that I put it on the AC to charge it..
the day after.. I turned it on.. the htc screen came.. the windows mobile screen came (I upgraded to WM6) and the the screen goes black and restarts htc screen again.. and so on and so on what is wrong?
if you need to know more then let me know.. but I don't want to take it to a repair centre yet.. please help!

What rom are you using? Try hard resetting the phone. If not, try reloading the stock RUU thru bootloader mode.

hmm I don't know the exact number since I can't check it I do have these numbers:
4.17.404.2
4.1.13.44
02.94.90
these are noted on the exe file of the RUU. It's a dutch version.

try to hold the camera button while turning the device on... if you can get into bootloader, it should show the ipl/spl info... and u should be able to flash the oem rom from there

If it turns on this probably isn't the problem, but it should be noted that discharging a lithium ion battery completely will make it useless; it will no longer hold a charge.
I don't know the circumstances so I can only suggest things where I've seen a reset like that... if you have a memory card in try popping it out and then turning it on.

thank you kraftey
it worked! the phone reached the today screen after I popped out the memory card.. That is really bizar.. it would be nice of HTC came with a update for this

My p4350 have the some problem !
I have tried 2 diferent Roms , one of them the Ruu , and have the same problem ! Only with the memory card out it start :/ Im thinking send the Htc to the repair center ...

Is it looping when the memory card is in? But when you remove the card it boots normally?
If that's the problem, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop... try this
take out ur memory card,
Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)
and go into your Windows directory and rename a file called
omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.

Hi I'm having the same problem.
Now I see the File but it wont Rename. Everytime I Change de name it pops back to its original name.

install total commander or an alternate file explorer ... don't use the built in one.

Im using a pdaviet Rom, resco explorer and tottal commander dont allowed me rename that file

If it doesn't work, first try a hard reset.
If that doesn't work, try reflashing.
If none of the above work, all you can do is hard-spl.
Hope it helps.

delete the file... and soft reset.

Is this only good for youtube as stated from the readme file?
Because if your answer is YES, then there is a better version of Opera and just Flash 3.1 CAB file that is only needed for youtube to work.

I have no ideia what you said about regserv.exe, but I installed flash lite 3.1, then flash 7, then opera 6.5 and this is all I got from my site:

LOL, I just noticed you only had 2 posts, so I just lost 1 hour making this work for nothing... But thats ok, this is how much I'd like to have flash lite 3 working on my Touch Dual...
If anyone else is still trying to decript his post...
Flash lite doesnt have a flash.dll file, only these:
- flashlite.dll
- flashResource.dll
- flashsnddec.dll
- flashviddec_on2_win32.dll
- flashviddec_sorenson_win32.dll
- IEActiveX.dll
- si_impl.dll

How to save my bricked HW6915 after flash failure?

I tried to flash my 6915 to 1.21UK English but while writing I accidentally unplugged the cable and now the unit is stuck at the HP logo page (blue and white screen). It will not go forward anymore.
I tried to reset with two buttons between the Green and Red buttons and I have "Serial - HP Invent - vG3.9" screen, then changed to "USB - HP Invent - vG3.9" when plugged into PC. Then I ran "UNI_ExitBootloader" as suggested by someone but it revert to the Logo screen again. I guess I bricked the unit.
Is there a way to bring the unit back to life by flashing using the SD card method? If so where to find the material and the tutorial?
Urgent help please!!

No response from unit
Hi,
I followed your procedure and did it about 10 times but never got the unit to boot and flash from SD card. I understand essentially your procedure copies the ROM image into the SD card and place into unit, put it into BootLoader mode by pressing "function button+function button+soft reset". But the unit only show the "Serial + Logo + vG.39" screen, and stop there. I tried the "power button+call button+end button+soft reset" but got the blue+white screen and stuck.
Please help with any solutions.

what is the SD Card. This procedure work 100% on the device.

SD card
I used a empty Nokia 128MB mini SD card, from my unused phone. You think changing the card will work?
I formatted the card in FAT before the operation. What I can see is the WinHex Editor replaced from location 00x0000 with all "A8", then write from same location with the binary image of the ROM file from clipboard. But should there be a boot sector before the ROM image?
Thanks for responding.

WinHex direct write rom file in SDCard, not need to format!
PUT CURSOR IN WinHex to position 0x00000000 and write image directly to Physical Media.
Follow the steps!

The steps
This is a description of steps I took:
1. Use WinHex to open ROM file, copy from location 0x00000 the ROM image to clipboard.
2. Open media (Nokia 128MB) and fill from location 0x00000 with all "A8".
3. Write onto media with ROM image in clipboard from location 0x00000, first words show "sable.....".
4. Save content to media.
5. Close all programs.
6. place media in HW6915, push power button, screen show blue-white HP logo.
7. Push "power+action button+action button+reset", screen show "serial - HP Invest - vG.39", stuck!!
I also tried push "power+call+end+reset", the unit show blue-white screen and stuck again.
It is as if the unit has lost the ability to boot from SD card, or even read from SD card.
Pls help.
Thanks for responding.

Final act
Thanks SPGI, for your help, I have exhausted all means to revive the d*** thing. I had dump it into the trash can and of this morning, the garbage truck is carrying it to its final destination.
