Problem accessing HTC Uni bootloader... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi guys,
I'm probably being really daft and missing something really obvious but I've been going round in circles for about a week on this now without any success and starting to tear my hair out. Proficient enough at flashing ROMs [the joys of HD2 ] and been working in IT support and consultancy for 20 years so the PC side is OK too - have tried searching through the various threads on here along with Googling but can't seem to find anything conclusive regarding my situation and hope someone could point me in the right direction.
Orange M5000 - rebranded HTC Universal, obviously
Pressing Power + Lamp + Reset does not appear to take me into the bootloader - I don't get a screen saying 'SERIAL'
I get a screen offering the following options:
Boot Options:
Enable KITL
Clean Registry Hive
Format Storage
with the following at the bottom of the screen:
R 1.03.00
G 42.36.P8
D 1.30.90 WWE
Using the small curser keys and button below the screen I can select any of the above options and select YES or NO
Pressing the button changes to another screen with a white background and the following options:
Select KITL Transport:
USB KITL
SERIAL KITL
Ethernet KITL
Select KITL Mode:
Active
Passive
And I can get no further...
I realise that we're probably missing something really obvious and/or basic out but for the life of me I can't find the answer! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the prompt response! Had guessed that problem would be something basic we were missing
Now we've come across another!
We can get into the bootloader fine with it showing SERIAL and when we connect the cable it changes automatically to USB. But...
Trying to run MaUpgradeUt_noID always gives an Error 150 ROM Upgrade Error - tried running as Administrator - no change
Its interesting that the picture in the utility is not of a Universal - dunno if this is relevant?
If we try to use the ROMUpgradeUT that is in the ROM directly, we get an Error 101 Connection Error
Picture in this instance is of a Universal however - again, dunno how relevant this is?
We'll get there

64-bit Windows 8 Pro
Works fine for flashing my HD2 via the usual methods.
Guessing there's either something we're missing in terms of running some compatibility settings [although we've tried] or that it may be a driver issue. Drivers noted in the thread about flashing Uni from Vista won't install however...

Someone explain, help...

Hello,
This is my first post on this forum.
Im new to the Pocket Pc's. I got this T-Mobile MDA II from my friend 2 days ago and that was the first time in my life when I touched the PPC.
I have a big problem.
MDA II is not reading the SMS (''the phone is not ready, try again in 15min'').
And another problem is GPRS. MDA says ''connecting'' or something like that, and nothing happens.
The PPC is from Germany, and I live in Croatia. And the language is in English-Germany.. Something is on English, something on Germany.
Can someone explain what's the problem ?
And another question
I download the WM6.1 AKU1.0(build 19199).
I can't get to the Bootscreen mod, I click the middle navigation button, then power button and nothing happens.
And where is the reset button ?
Sorry for my stupid questions and bad english.
But I need some help.. Please!
Please!
I need someone to explain how to install ROM on MDA II.
the reset button is on the left of the charging block ( tiny hole )
follow these instructions
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
===========================================================================================
PS: Upgrade on your own risk
omg this is amazing...
ather90 thank you very much!
6.1.1a16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0) ROM is great.
I can now use my camera, use gprs, use internet..
Wonderfull
good that you finally succeeded. now try 6.1.1b16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0)
usb craddle or usb sync cable ?
Since this seemed a newbie type post i thought i would continue with a Newbie type question.
I also just purchased an Qtek 2020 and wondered if i need the usb craddle or would a usb sync cable do for rom upgrade.
Rom Ver : 1.72.00WWE
Rom Date 03/15/04
Radio Ver : 1.17.00
Protocol version 1337.28
ExtROM Ver : 1.72.181

This is also my 1st post here. But I'd been monitoring the xda-developer forums for a long time. I spend more time reviewing posts rather than posting in forums. Anyways I think I can help. Here's the answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing. You can also use the search function provided by this website to search for topics that you need.
Thanks for the link which lead me to bootloader info below
"you can connect to the bootloader, either via a serial cable, and use a terminal program like hyperterm. or via usb, and use mtty. make sure you have disabled the serial or usb connection in activesync, before trying to connect to the bootloader."
So i am guessing its both USB CABLE or USB CRADLE got i just purchase one on Amazon for 90 pence
i tried to bootload my xda and it keeps bringing me to the windows mobile screen with no serial words on top...
i have a o2 xda mini that runs WM2003 SE and would like to upgrade with the WM6.. is it possible??
can someone please help
thanks

Heya! Ok, what i did was the following,
1: hold down the 2 function buttons on either side of the joystick (NOT the call answer and call kill buttons, between them )
2: while holding the buttons down, use the pen and press the reset button at the bottom of the phone.
You should now have a bootloader screen, with an HP logo, and SERIAL or USB line of text at the top, and a G.39 version text at the bottom of the screen....
Activsync need not be connected at this stage, just your USB cradle or cable....
3: Download and extract the _Sable___G3_DEVICE_ONLY_hw6915-1.21uk.rar file from above... remember to delete the files from folder - CEBL.nbf, RadioFS.nbf, RadioOS.nbf..
4: run the sableRUU.exe ... this will now install the CE OS in english....
mine has been in brick phase for weeks now, its the first time i managed to get the OS back up! Now i need to sort out the GSM problem....!
Hope this helps!!!
Thank you guys
It worked!!!!
I change it English too
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks a lot
arash_ ! Thanx
awesome, thx for sharing with us
I tried UK IT SE versions, they all stoped at either 10% or 11%.
Now I cant use my phone anymore, it shows a four color screen(red green blue and white),
and says that
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
Serial

I tried to use RUU to recover the process, but it didn't work, always stops at 10%
I am not an engineer, don't know much about it, could anymore one just tell me how to make my phone work again, I just want the SE system back, I am done with flashing the ROM. thanks

the same problem here
any ideas how to unlock that cid?
Its a happy day again !!! Yipiii
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your x1 to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot"
and its alive again but after restart need mtty to boot again.
so realy need to unlock cid to be god flashed
Very usefull thread. For CID unlocking need's HardSPL. arnisv, does this repair dead phones eg. stuck at tricolour (bootloader) screen ?

MTTY (How to fix a bad ROM flash!) Hi,
I didn't see any post about using MTTY on Kaiser.
If I did a bad ROM flash with my previous device (HTC Universal), I could always fix this by clearing the FAT table with MTTY.
Believe me... if you flash and it stops ad 85% you will be very happy if you can use this tool!
Reason I started this thread is to help out people who are having such a problem with there Kaiser!
This is the correct procedure to get you out of trouble
1. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
2. put your device into the cradle
3. Run mtty and Choose WCEUSBSH001 in 'PORT' (if it doesn't show then you didn't stop all active sync processes above!)
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset. (for some devices it can also be "set 14 0")
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted
6. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
7. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
Incase of an emergency it could be very helpfull I think!
Thank you all for providing the input in this thread so I could make this small user manual!
Happy flashing!
Search for MTTY ver 1[1].42 or other, this is from our forum. It work's on Kaiser, maybe will work on xperia. And I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE WITH THIS

Plz help! problem with shift running winxp!

Hello everybody
I have a HTC Shift on which Win XP was recently installed . The problem is that it doesn't see the Snapvue part - I can't open it and can't acccess the Comm manager either. In Snapvue I just get a white screen, with the HTC logo - and the comm manager button (upper right) doesn't do anything when pressed.
The guy who installed the Win XP said something about using Active sync to enable communication between the 2 processors (?!) - The device has Active Sync installed, but it just tells me it can't synchronize.
I am a girl, as you probably noticed, and know very little about computers and stuff....Could someone save me? I ned a step-by-step guide for solving this problem, but written for DUMMIES (such as me
I also understand I could reset the device to the original Vista - but have no idea how to do it?!
Please help - I've been looking at my Shift for 3 whole days, and am getting al depressed..
Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody
I have a HTC Shift on which Win XP was recently installed . The problem is that it doesn't see the Snapvue part - I can't open it and can't acccess the Comm manager either. In Snapvue I just get a white screen, with the HTC logo - and the comm manager button (upper right) doesn't do anything when pressed.

Did you turn off the device completely? I would remove it from the power, remove the battery, and give a 10 to 20 secs and put battery back and boot it.
Let me know if you have issues.
To restore it to Vista, if the recovery partition is not swiped, just press Fn+3 at the boot time and once it goes into recovery, and just follow the steps.
didn't work....
I tried removing the battery, nothing happened
When I press Fn + 3, it just goes on and starts Windows XP normally (the xp "half" works allright - it's the comm and snapvue which are dead )
Any other idea? Is there any hope ?
oww, now it's really nasty!
I insisted on pressing the FN+3 , and after one or two questions (if I wanted to continue etc) it said "invalid data on recovery partition" - and now the screen just shows black and there's no winxp anymore - I suppose I should write some commands, as there's a white line blinking....but I don't know how to do it.....Heeeelp!
If XP has been installed in place of Vista, then the recovery partition has been wiped, so FN + 3 will not work for recovering Vista.
The Vista (or XP) side and the snapvue side are two totally different entities, so you can wipe the hard drive and snapvue will still work, as it lives in ROM.
So you have 2 separate problems, you need to re-install an OS, and you need to find out why snapvue is not booting.
I managed to enter the bios ( pressed DEL) and it says that hard drive Toshiba etc is "disabled" - so no wonder it can't boot...
Could I do something to enable it or whatever?
Or should I give up ?
Hi,
Who installed XP for you?
Since you need to now 1 or 2 things about computers to do so, I think that person is the one who can help you and do it the quickest....
Other wise you need to post a message after every step and then wait for one of us to respond.... that would take days if not weeks....
Given your name, I guess you don't live near Enschede, the netherlands do you?
Otherwise You could come by and I could give it a go....
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
no, I live in France at the moment! But thanks for the offer anyway!
I guess I'll just take the thing to a repair shop or something
As for my name, it's "Clockwork Orange" inspired - I'm a great fan of the movie, although I'm French.
No comments regarding the guy who installed the XP! We must keep this discussion civilised!
Thanks a lot , everybody!

[Q] Partially bricked Universal

Hi everyone! This is my first post and I would like to thank You all for great job done on this forum, I'm rather beginner but already gathered a lot of knowledge by reading various posts
My first post will be about HTC Universal, that came to me few days ago. From first look it's an amazing piece of hardware and I would like to make it working, because (obviously) it is not
Uni's characteristics:
Black O2 XDA Exec
NAND Flash - DiskOnChip G4
Uni's behaviour:
after turning on is showing bootloader screen with some artifacts and following info:
R 1.17.00
G 42.53.P8
O D. 08.81 TML
can access bootloader menu (three yes/no settings, KITL) - same artifacts are here too
combination of backlight+power+reset gives black screen
hard reset doesn't change anything, screen with O and X is ok, with no artifacts
device is not recognized by PC so I cannot flash it (dev 0000, ven 0000 on windows / cannot enumerate on linux) - USB transmit lines are ok because situation changes after choosing KITL mode (every other is unrecognized)
Already done:
I thought it may be damaged USB port, but I succesfully managed to make it work after choosing KITL mode from bootloader menu (backlight? + reset). It doesn't accept any commands through mtty but at least installed in windows as HTC Sync Device (not remember correctly?) and showed some prompt in console (KITL$ ?).
I didn't really know what KITL is so i googled for other methods of unbricking and found amazing discussion between scholbert and roglio in topic about rescuing uni from scratch via JTAG. So I remodelled my adapter to the same as Wiggler2 and connected to mainboard. However, my situation, if I understand correctly, is not the same as scholberts or roglios was. I have working IPL and partially working SPL, that is, I think I have
Is there any method of writing SPL into ram and running it in this situation? Maybe then USB will be working and let me flash new firmware? I found solutions like this for some other HTCs but I don't really know how to load something into RAM, because it looks like it is unaccessible at the moment (errors in openocd, zeroes readed by urjtag). I'm working with newest openocd version, it recognizes PXA270 without problem, same as urjtag.
Or is it possible to restore Uni via KITL mode? Maybe I try to download software required in topic about Hermes and run it at some free time, but I have to connect my old windows box to internet
I'll be very thankful for every answer and I hope that this Uni will work once again
P.S.: I'm sorry if some of statements are not understoodable, I lack possibility of using english daily and practicing it, so my english is little poor
Best Regards, Karol

Ah, yes, I forgot. Not black screen after combination of backlight+power+reset, but Serial + v2.01. Does not react to USB. If I connect USB first, then reset, it's "USB v2.01" - device not recognized. The same with SD card inserted -> reset -> "USB v2.01" -> took card -> unrecognized...
Welcome to forums,
Have a read on the thread just above this one, you´ll find almost all you need
Hi!
Thank You for your answer. I have already read this and other topics regarding "stuck at bootloader" and other problems, and tried all the provided solutions, with no luck
The main problem is usb not working properly. I'd rather not suspect hardware damage, because it works in KITL mode.
#---
I've done some more research. Downloaded and installed Platform Builder, and following instruction for hermes (changing only processor type) tried to run system through KITL, but with no success, image (awfully small - about 900kB) was downloaded to device, but there was no answer from it - KITL screen have not changed.
After few tries I focused on another method - based on tomal's SDFlash_G3. I took 416 byte header found later in topic about SDFlash (OllieD's) and connected it with decrypted official nk.nbf image from O2 and later with one from tomal's rom.
My device was reacting kind of strange while trying to recognize rom from card. For first, it haven't tried at all, not until I !removed! MMC card! (instead of this later I was hovering the sd card slot pin responsible for card detect).
Then, there was two scenarios:
first, when I took card too fast after entering bootloader, it showed message about too short rom
second, where I waited some more seconds, it showed error about sections=1 and not allowing to update
So I searched about this section=1 error and found that it is incompatibility between 416 byte header and rom image - header points that there should be more sections in rom, but there is only one.
Don't really know how to change it, is there any documentation about header structure?
In topic about SDFlash_G3 there was mentioned that this method is "without 2nd device", but I haven't found anything about "with 2nd device", is it worth giving a try?
Can someone provide me with mmc/sd card image (compressed of course) with backup from G4 Universal device done with d2s command?
I'll be very thankful for any help.
Best regards, Karol
