Hello everybody,
i wanted to update my new HTC Polaris with another radio rom. It failed during Update process.
After that, it doesn't boot anymore. Now it stays in "3 colour mode". USB is recognized, when i plug in. I've tried to update again and again, but it stays at 0% and then i get an " Error 262". Tested with XP and Vista, no luck.
Any idea, how i get my device work again, don't want to RMA...
(Sorry, for my bad english, i hope you understand.)
Did u try to flash the official ROM again?
At the moment, there is no original Polaris GER ROM in DL section. I've tried O2_ger, Bepe, no luck.
Try the WWE version available in this forum. Once recover, flash the hard SPL and then flash whatever u desired.
Hope this can help!
i tried, but i get an "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID" at 1%. I think i need the Original German Rom...
Put the device in bootloader mode then flash with HARD-SPL
After SPL flashed put it again in bootloader mode and flash a rom that you want.
It is already in Bootloadermode = 3 Colour Mode.
When i try Hard-SPL Flash, it also hangs at 0% and give Error 262.
I've also tried, rename *.nbh file to POLADIAG.nbh or POLAIMG.nbh. Here it hangs in the Loading screen. Used Micro-SD formatted as FAT32.
I'm having the exact same problem.. did you manage to work it out?
why did I have to update the rom....??
damn
Did you try this?

Hi !
My P4350 got stuck in the bootloader when I stied to flash a new ROM
Active sync doesn't recognize the P4350 anymore....
IPL 5.04.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
What should I do now ????
search for bootloader... there are so much threads with the same question
Did it fail during the flashing process? Do you see an error message on the bootloader screen? ActiveSync won't recognize the device unless it is booted up in Windows Mobile. If you can still get into the bootloader reflash the ROM from there. You don't have to flash ROM's connected via ActiveSync; you can do it from the bootloader as well.
It did fail during an flash !!
The only thing on the tri colour screen: is: IPL 5.04.0002 and SPL 4.10.0000
When I try to flash a new rom it gives errors, it starts for 2 seconds and than it stops with an error. (on several occasions different errors ==> one error at the time).
Post some of the error codes you get. Have you tried flashing a different ROM? You may need need to use MTTY if you get a ROM upgrade code message in the bootloader itself.
Ehhhhhhh what is: MTTY if you get a ROM upgrade code message in the bootloader itself.
I have NO idea what you mean.
I had before an TyTN and that was no problem ever (until it died..)

I'm a retard. You don't have HSPL flashed to your device. This is why it keeps failing when you try to flash a ROM. The HTC SPL on your device is blocking you from flashing unsigned (custom) or CID-mismatching ROM's to your device. All you should need to do is flash HSPL and then your custom ROM. Read the Wiki for this device if you need more information.
My phone was provided by Vodafone.
I have now Telfort.
I flashed Vodafone to Canonyang.
Then I tried to put the Dutch back on it and then it got stuck in the Bootloader.
Wasn't it hard SPL than??

I've tried 2 different HSPL now.
It goes well, even says 100 % on phone AND computer but than it gives error 270 'update error'
What now...
Have you followed this? I know it works for me...
I've seen it, but where do I have to intall the 3 cab files?
Do I have to install them on the microSD card?
Do I have to put them like this .cab or do I need them to unpack them??
please help!
Copy them to your phone, install all three on your phone's memory.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh How should I do that ??
Oh right. I'm retarded. You're stuck in the bootloader... Sorry just reading too many threads and getting confused. Have you tried searching for "bootloader" or "Goldcard" in the ROM development forums? There are tons of explanations on how to recover from being stuck in the bootloader.
So....i had read the thread and installed HSPL on my phone before i attempted to used a cooked rom, having tried to install my first one i find now i have the 'white triangle of death with upside down exclamation mark'.
I am on T-Mobile in the UK and i do not want to brick this beyond all repair..what is the procedure i should do now to get it working..i beleive i need to format a SD card to fat32 but which rom do i put on it and then what is the button press sequence..i have no connection via active sync anymore.
phone off - hold "volume down" - tap power whilst still holding volume down - phone will boot to bootloader (three stripes)
what does it say next to spl?
if
1.42.0000 then hspl isn't installed. what rom did you flash and how?
if says 1.42.HSPL then hspl is installed, plug in usb, wait for "serial" to become "usb" and flash your rom again from usb.
Thanks...
1.42.HSPL is what it says, it also says lower down 'upgrade ROM code error please try again' which i did do several times through the .exe on the rom i tried to upgrade to which i believe was TOUCH_X_TREME_21895_1_2_36_47, im not to sure whether the rom is compatible for me or even what i done wrong, i was relying on the fact that i had installed HSPL prior to trying to flash the new rom, i can confirm that the phone changes to 'usb' when i plug it in on the tri colour screen...so when you say try to flash the rom again what exact method do i use..when i tried the first time i just run the .exe file in the rom folder and followed the prompts
EDIT: having just followed what you said...i run the rom .exe file and followed through recovery and it says error 'error 302 update error'...what if the rom i am flashing is NOT compatible.
Why don't you first try to flash back a stock rom that you can download from http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html ?
Choose preferably a 1.48 rom.
Anyway, you'd better read the "flashing for noobs" thread in ROM dev forum before you go and do something even worse. You're probably trying to flash a corrupt file or something alike.
get the T-Mobile ROM from HTCs website, boot into the bootloader and connect and flash the stock ROM...that should at least get you working again
yea as above.sounds like a bad download or something. try a different rom or re download.
be aware the rom you are flashing needs a certain radio, so when it does flash it still won't boot till you flash the correct radio.(it's all in thefirst posts of the rom thread)
you have hspl installed so as long as you only flash by usb you are safe. just boot to bootloader, run the instal from the pc, phone will flash

Have done this..still not flashing, keeps giving update error, as i said..i have no active sync connection and it states that is needed ?...so how do i flash the rom ? also when you asked me to go to the tri colour screen and read off the HSPL part, on the green section it says 'upgrade ROM code error please try again'..is this normal in this state
Why am i getting this error when i try to flash it via usb...comuter still recognises phone but active sync does not connect to it so i am assuming this is causing the error ?
So when you go into the bootloader and plug in the USB does it say USB on the phone screen? If so, you also need to run the updater as an administrator. If this doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work then you may very well have bricked it.
Also, are you using ActiveSync or WMDC?

Yes it changes to USB when i plug it in, i am using WMDC but when i plug the phone in it does not connect anymore, i have tried running as admin but it makes no difference, i keep getting error 302.
Correct me if i am wrong, i thought the idea of installing HSPL would keep me safe from bricking the phone, i think all i initially done was flash an incorrect rom, ill try it on my laptop but that has not been in contact with the phone yet
What OS is on your laptop? if it's Windows 7 just plug in your phone and it will automatically WMDC so you don't need to install it first
Laptop done the trick !..seems to be doing the job now...dont know what the hell thats all about...
Would be helpful if knew what radio i had on it...and do i install rom first, then install radio ?
ActiveSync or WDMC wont recognise the device as the phone has not fully booted up.
With the phone in boot-loader mode and connected by USB, then run the ROM installation program. Ignore the fact that it says you must be ActiveSynced. Just tick the box and go into the next page.
As been said already, make sure you install the correct RADIO rom for the customised ROM. Once that is done, then you can install the ROM.
The best ROMs to download are ZIP'd or RAR'd ones, as they have a check that they have not been corrupted when uploaded or downloaded.
Well this is highly weird !!...i restored the Tmo dump from htc website but i now have the rom on there that i was trying to install previously before i bricked it...Touch X treme
What radio are you trying to flash? Read this and use this to flash the phone with the radio needed for your ROM choice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Once done, try flashing the phone again (I'd make sure HSPL is on the phone too)

So find out what radio i need before flashing, what if the radio i need to flash is not for the currant rom i am using...and am i right to say that some of these roms i cant use as they are not for the UK ?
All radios can be used, you can get them on their own and use with that link I posted before. going by the Touch X thread it says you need a 2.07 or 2.08 radio so get one of them and flash that first before flashing the ROM
I understand that better now...still not sure what went wrong there, from the laptop i thought and still do that i was flashing the stock rom for tmo from the htc website to restore the phone...but when it started up i was shocked to see the splash screen for the Xtreme rom..maybe i flashed that ?? if so why did it work this time..bad flash before ? and i have certainly not installed a radio myself...well thaks for your help anyway..the phone is up and running again and i will make sure HSPL is still there before i try my next rom
Likely bad flash - glad you're sortred now though. I always do the task29 with the radio nI want to use before flashing a ROM now to make sure the memory is clear...
im having problems with installing magldr or any rom to my phone... it goes through rom version check and everything but then when it comes to flashing it pops out window with error 266(cant get response from the device) I have HSPL 2.08 and correct radio installed. Im pretty sure because its not the first rom im trying to flash. phone is comunicating with pc because i can update SPL without any problems... i dont know what to do? can anyone help me?
I`m writing this after almost a full day of searching and testing with no luck.
I have friend who tried to upgrade Rom into his Touch HD and failed.
Right now all the phone does is to start in tricolor menu. I have tried several Roms but when trying to flash they get stuck at 0% and after a while it ends up with error 262. Same thing happens when trying to upgrade to HSPL also (i do not have a working Rom on this phone, just a tricolor menu which starts automatically when phone started ). I have tried to flash rom with SD card (2Gb), and with Ruu with Win7 and XP.
Info :
Blac100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) V6
How can i recover this phone? Can anyone pls help me ?
I have attached a Print screen of my folder dedicated to this phone. Everything there i have tried.
oh my god...you tried to flash a ROM without SPL!? are zou crazy? first you have to flash HSPL, search for the latest spl 1.56 olinex and when you get the (.nbh) file, name it to Blacimg.nbh and put on SD card (on root!) then it will appear a confirming message to install the .nbh, and you confirm.
note: not having HSPL is pratically the same thing has having a locked bootloader...

Yes i know... not me was the one who tried... i have received it like this, and trying to recover it. The idea is when trying to install HSPL it get stuck at 0%, and the alternate method implies booting into system... but i do not have a system on device. I have also tried to download the official rom from HTC website.... and after 1% it says "invalid vender ID".
Flash SPL from sd card. Name the file as BLACimg.nbh and put on sd root. Then enter Tricolor screen (If it doesnt go automatically) and confirm the flashing. Then SEE If you get the htc logo and a empty shell ( black screen) . If you do good, now normally Flash a ROM ( you can use sd method or throug pc

If it doesnt work try another sd
This what i`m trying, but it get stuck to "loading" . I have downloaded "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex" , started "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe" , nbh file apeared in same folder, copied to SD (formated to Fat32, default alocation unit) started phone, gone in tricolor then "loading" message on screen and nothing else (for 10 minutes already).
hmmm... keep waiting
finaly solved
I have finaly solved it. First you need Windows XP on PC. Download USPL 2.5 and open a CMD window. Start utility to upgrade to HSPL OLINEX and after presing update , and progres bar apears on phone execute fast the uspl in cmd window (otherwise it will say it cannot open USB port). After this you phone will reboot in tricolor but instead of SPL you will se USPL 1.14. Disconect usb from phone and reconect it, now it should say is connected to USB. Relaunch the HSPL update utility and wait to get to 100%. When done phone will reboot into system (if you have any).
its a way, but you could simply flash hspl trough sd (use other sd if that doesnt work, I needed to cange too!)

Believe me ! i have tried with four different SD cards, one of them indeed did not worked (a 4Gb). I do not know exactly what happened to the phone but it was impossible to flash anything to that phone (except some shipped roms witch would fail after 1% with invalid vender ID on pc and some 28008 error via card) . As i said one post earlier, the only way was via USPL, witch needed a workaround method (because it too failed with "could not access usb port" error). And the USPL worked only on Win XP and had a very narrow time window to execute the file (to have the USB port accessible ). After changing to SPL 1.56 Olinex phone booted with the old WM 6.1 stock. But i have changed 3 other roms after that, finally settling to energy Rom. With Olinex i had no problem at all flashing the Roms. I have even flashed a new radio, with absolutely no problem. Don't know what was the problem exactly, but the old SPL 1.54 had some serious issues !
I`m just glad i have revived this phone (witch btw, is not even mine)....
the old SPL, was locked lol. It's the stock SPL straight from HTC. But doesnt matter, good thing you solved your problem
10x
Wow, thanks alot for this post. I've done the same thing as you and crashed my HTC. Problem solved with Win XP, but more simple. Just executed USPL.exe and, job done. I think in Win7 was the problem with certified drivers. Think that can be solved in a fresh instalation of Win7 but not with certified microsoft drivers or HTC Sync installed. Anyways thanks alot. You've been a lifesaver.
