Htc p3300 uspl doesn't work - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hey guys, I was trying to use uspl following this thread, but something isn't working right. The start_uspl.exe program loads fine but I don't see a progress bar in my device, only on the PC. When it finishes, a little image of tux comes up for about 1-2 seconds with some green text and then I get a black screen. Sometimes I get this.

perhaps you forgot to install enable rapi.cab on the device before doing the flash uspl !

I did install both of the .cabs, although I can't see them in the installed programs, or any record that they were installed correctly. Would upgrading my phone to WM6 solve the problem? I have WM5 right now.

@grimmreapervi
1) no need to open a new thread for a question that is relating to my thread, ya should just posted on my thread, that way i woulda been able to help you asap
2) the .cabs you install wont be shown in the installed programs
3) if your SPL is 1.12.0000 then USPL is not done
4a) you need to hard reset your device
4b) install those 2.cabs (cert & rapi)
4c) run Start_Uspl.exe on pc
4d) after tux picture, wait a few mins and then click through the RUU
5) if RUU fails on 1+% or SPL is 1.12.0000 then redo (4abcd)
6) do not try and install a new Rom if SPL is not 1.11.CMON - you might break your device
*) if you get stuck, just private message me dude, ill be happy to walk you through it

probleme flash

Hello,
can some one help me please.
I try to flash my touch cruise and at 99% his stop.
after i just have 3 color screen and can't flash.
I try hard reset but it still color screen.
in the screen i got :
POLA100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
Which rom did you try to flash on your device? I would suggest to check out the threads that relate to that rom. If you have used Olipro's hard-spl and followed all the steps for flashing the rom, maybe you could ensure your device is fully charged,that the file you have downloaded (rom) is not corrupted and try flashing it again.

You had to hard-spl your device first!!
I have use Hard-SPL-V2 and when it get at 99%, it stop and then i get the 3 colors screen.
the rom I want to flash is the bepe 0.56.
Is my phone is over or I can get it work again.
I alreasy try to flash with the original HTC rom also, but don't work.

Sorry, just to be clear. It only gets to 99% of the Hard SPL V2? So the problem is not the rom you tried to flash but the Hard Spl?
The Hard-SPL-V2 that i have try is by Olipro, and I follow all the instruction.
I don't know why he stop at 99%.
I ask SFR, and they can't do anythink.
I think it's over for my phone .
I will try to ask HTC if they can do something and how it will cost.
hope give you good news .
Flash Problem
Hello,
I have the same problem...do you already have solution for your case ?!?!
Thank you in advance !
Ignore this post - I had IE troubles and double posted - See next post
Just to be very very clear since you are talking of HardSPL and of bepes ROM and mix all up:
You did not apply HardSPL to your device!
A device which has HardSPL applied would read "Pola100 MFG, SPL-2.20.Olinex, CPLD-2" at the 3-color-screen. Your device is still with the original bootloader. I suggest you try applying the HardSPL V2 again until it works or you get bored. Exactly follow instructions given in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370434
Hello, i had the same problem, i just soft reset my device and flash it back, it went up to 100% without any problem
Not working
Hello,
On device when I just connect the usb cable I get the three colour display with info:
POLA100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2.
Then I follow the instrutions, but when I get the step 7 the device appears always on 0% and get always the error 262.
Do you know how to fix this?!?!?

You did something wrong. You have still original spl!
The correct steps:
Download hard-spl.
Plug your pda to pc.
On Pc run RomUpdateUtiliy (from Hard-spl folder)
Now you will see on PDA a tricolor screen and will be asked replug your usb cable. DO IT.
After Few minutes pda will reboot, hard-spl is installed.
Download the rom.
Now, STEP MANUALLY to bootlader. (press and hold camera, and press reset)
You will see a tricolor screen with OLINEX on your pda.
On the pc run the RomUpdateUtiliy (from the downloaded rom folder)
After Few minutes pda will reboot, new rom is installed.
See the images attached please.
I never get the "Replug information".
It's strange that Image version doesn't appear...
Thank in advance !
Now you will see on PDA a tricolor screen and will be asked replug your usb cable. DO IT.
On your PDA screen !
Not on your computer screen.
For information for my Polaris.
I found a phone shop in Paris, the boss of the shop say he can do something and I wait if he could or not.
Hope he will get me good news.

Manage to solve the problem ...thanks WIKI !!
Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!
Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.
1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......
Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.
Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol
Great Work

PLEASE help me
tell me which it the right rom to chose? step by step procedure..
how to rectify imei?
thanks and regards
kirtibas
kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...

Restore original SPL from bootloader

Hi,
Does anyone know how can I restore the original SPL from bootloader ? I try to do it, the progress bar goes to 100% but when I restart it, I still have the HardSPL installed.
Any ideas ?

Stucked windows screen is a different problem. This method is ok only for working device.
In this case this is the only one idea:

3. Plug in your device via USB. Your computer should be asking install a driver. Install and continue.
4. Now Run mtty and choose USB in 'PORT'
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.

I did try to put back a french ROM. I don't know if it was the original because unfortunately when I first flashed it I was kind of beginner in flashing HTC's, but I tried with the only original french ROM that I found on this forum. The process goes through, but yet the result is the same. Is there any kind of command to fully erase (format) the memory (beside the bootloader) and then try to load a ROM ?
Same for me with restoring SPL ...it doesn't work.
And my device is almost at the same state of damage as yours. See my thread...

Also the mtty and task8 just restarts my device. Nothing more, nothing less!
So there is no way of restoring SPL with entering the bootloader manually? Not even a mSD-Card Trick out there? I need to get it done because of warranty ;/
You stucked in Olipro hard-spl, this is why restore spl not works...
And unfortunatelly you can not flash spl with micros-sd.
But you can try to flash rom with micro-sd card.

But no way of restoring the SPL ;(
"So there is no way of restoring SPL with entering the bootloader manually? Not even a mSD-Card Trick out there? I need to get it done because of warranty ;/"
I do not understand exactly...
Did you try restore original spl with manual bootloader?
you run SSPL from Windows Mobile, then flash a stock SPL NBH, job done.
the whole *point* of Hard-SPL is that it can't be overwritten when it performs a flash so that if anything screws up you don't end up locked out of reflashing in the event something screws up.

You have hard-spl on your machine
You can not restore spl followed the guide in post 2 (WITHOUT manual bootloader)
You can not access your windows mobile (WM does not boot)
You freeze on startup screen
You can not start you phone with steps in post 6
Am I right?
If yes, you stucked in bootloader. And unfortunatelly I can not help you...Maybe Olipro.

Well seems like something like this.
See I have no error because of invalid flashing. I had slight water damage. But some days later my device was working again for a whole day.
Next day it didn't work anymore.
When i startup my device and the WM-Splash shows up it makes "bring" and device turns off.
When i plug in the AC charger i can't even get beyond the O2-Splash.
But I can enter the bootloader and flash what I want, it works ;/
I am also able to connect with MTTY, maybe there is a way with repairing it through MTTY?
Full description of my problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402765
But if i cant get rid of the problems i have to send it to warranty by tomorrow or monday and i think they will notice that i don't have the original SPL on it. So they will screw me ;(((
So, as I am not a noob to computers I would try ANYTHING to get it back on my own!
Is there also no way of restoring it by using the microSD-Card? So is there no way without Windows Mobile? Not even the holy MTTY? Or any way of debugging it by MTTY to see whats going wrong?
I'm screwed!
P.s. I have also tried another battery in the o² shop....didn't fix it ;(

Yes but on "task 8" my device doesn't behave as it should be. It just restarts doing nothing.
Seems like i just have to hope the guys at the service center will not recognize my "not original" SPL. 1% chance ;(
Well thanks for now fktsndr.
Seems like there is really no way of restoring it without Windows Mobile ;(
I thought there would maybe be a "Low Level"-Method of accessing the device and restoring SPL.
Can't think of that there is no way of formatting the device on its lowest level (mtty) or transferring the original SPL per MTTY. Hmm...there should always be a way
Olipro, no way? ;(
if I remember right, the polaris hardSPL is based on an MFG bootloader.
this means you can use mtty commands (mw) to unpatch the write protection then flash the stock SPL.
if I don't remember right, and it is not MFG, then you can still use another mtty command with a special file, but this is more complicated and was not fully tested. you can contact me in PM and we can see.
(you could transfer SPL via mtty, but that is also blocked in hardspl because the mtty transfer uses same code to flash the SPL in this SPL common base)
by the way task 8 is exactly designed to just do a soft reset. nothing wrong with that command.
they really meant task 28. this does a hard reset. you can try that. I guess you already did, but just in case!
edit: I just remembered another way if task 28 doesn't help. ifyou don't mind that the device will stop booting SPL, then you can just do task 2a command in mtty. this will erase SPL, and because of hardSPL overwrite protection it will fail to flash it back from the temporary RAM backup.
the result is that the device will not even boot SPL, it will be black screen. it will boot to the radio bootloader only and O2 won't know what SPL was on it before erase.

Please Help Me Out here~~ Tyvm
p.s: I can still boot the phone to bootloader 3 Color Screen

Your device is okay. You can already proceed to flashing any ROM that is desgined for SPL 1.2. If you want just a good looking ROM, you might want to try PK3.0 ROM. If you want WM6.1, try irus ROM.
If I'm you, I'll skip any rom that uses SPL3.5 for the time being until you're sure there is a mean to come back to SPL 1.2. This mean you should skip AP4.0 for the time being.
To flash one of the SPL1.2 based ROM, remove your storage cards and SIM cards, and ensure your battery is close to full. Then get into Bootloader mode (by pressing down the Camera and poke into the reset hole - hold it down for a good few seconds until you see the tr-colored screen). Then connect your cable until you see USB on the device screen. Then on your PC, start the RomUpdateUtility program and follow the instruction on the PC.
Good luck.
Thx, man! U Rock!!
Just flash the phone with PK3.0 Rom~

TMO Wing Flash Question (no0b)

Hi everyone,
Ok, My names Z and I have been reading the forums on this site regarding TMO Wing and flashing over and over again. I then felt confident enough to flash my Wing using USPL. ( following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421304 )
I can only get to step 7. ( Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.)
upon reaching 7 my screen stays white then the RUU pops up (my screen stays white) but i get an error that reads ERROR 203, now all i can do i click exit.
My Spl is 4.26.
My Ipl is 4.26.
I have tried this 6 times
Thanxs for the help.
Z
Try re-installing the USPL again
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO and the you open it and open the RUU file copy and paste whatever nbh rom you want to flash run the herald uspl hit enter its going to prompt you then hit enter again this time you screen should go white at around 75 and when its at 100 active sync will disconnect by itself and reconnect then follow steps from there. Make sure you check all boxes and agree.
The best way to ensure that your rom will flash well i always flash the OEM wing rom first... I use the upgraded v. I have it if you need it.. Try all the steps again and again.. One thing i have noticed thou.. If you leave your wing on for a little well hooked up to activesycn it has stupid problems.. IDK why but eh.. I just disconnect and try again.. If you need ne help let me know... pm me.. I made a detailed step by step video on flashing the wing but stupid youtube kicked if off!!!!
THANX
lol, what an idiot, well me of course! It seems that i had the TMO stock rom in my RUU folder instead of the custom one.
well thanks for the reply though. I wouldn't have noticed it if i hadn't re-downloaded the USPL.
