solution to 1% flash failed problem (RSU_3.23.01.exe)

i have the same 1% flash failed problem. here's what i did.
1. prepare an SD card with the RUU_3.16.52 extracted using XDArit.exe (use XDArit.exe to transfer the ROM in c:\program files\RUU\english\NK.nbf to the SD) you need to have a USB SD Card Reader in order to do this. buy one if you have to.
2. prepare a second SD card with the repair files stored in the root directory (RSUpgrade.sa.CAB 4,305,434bytes, and the 2577 folder) just like whoever suggested, but replace the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB on the root of SD with the one you extracted in c:\program files\Radio Stack Upgrade Utility\RSUpgrade.sa.CAB (4,328,441bytes) by running RSU_3.23.01.exe (which had unfortunately caused the failure.)
2. insert the SD card with the RUU_3.16.52. press the power button while performing a soft reset. you should enter the wallaby loader screen. i have version 5.15. press action to flash the ROM to your xda.
3. cold boot your xda. you should see the blud Qtek screen. in the lower-right-hand corner you should see
G
R
3.16.52
4. you may be asked to calibrate your screen by tipping the four corners.
5. press the volume button. insert the second SD card (containg the repair files and the 4,328,441bytes SUpgrade.sa.CAB (NOT the 4,305,434bytes one, because it will cause freezing at 1%!) wait patiently until the upgrade finishes. you may put the xda back to the cradle for power as long as it doesn't reset itself.
if anything goes wrong, start from step 2 again.
NOTE: i may have skipped some steps in the above. but that's the best i could remember. good luck.
if you haven't upgraded the Qtek ROM and the Radio Stack, learn the risk before attempting!!!

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
IGA

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.

How to cardflash with hareld?

Hi
does anyone know how in need to call the "ARTEIMG.nbh" with the hareld when I am using this manual:?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).(not necessary, do it only if 1st attemt fails)
Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
Rename the .NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side).
You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.
Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.

I really need to do this so I can send it to repair...

haha problem solved.
In someway my phone was able to connect with my pc with a broken usb. haha
In bootloader mode it just worked

Why do you want to update your rom this way?
It is much easilier with the HARD-SPL or USPL.
Look a bit around the herald forum and you will find these methods!!!

Yes I know but my usb connection in my phone broke down, so i need to send it to repair.
But i had the touchit rom on it, so with that rom I didnt had any garantee

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.

[Q] NANANDROID not apply from sd card.

Hello everyone!
i do the following step how to install Nanandroid on my HTC Touch HD.
1. Flash the latest HardSPL from OliNex
2. Extract the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files to a folder
3. Format the microSD card fully as FAT32
4. Copy the 'BlacIMG.NBH' file and your selected ROM (zip) you wish to use to the root of the microSD
5. Boot in TriColour mode (Power button and Volume down button)
6. Whilst in the TriColour mode, connect the Blackstone to a USB port ('Serial' should now say 'USB')
7. Run 'BlackstoneRUUAdvanced' and select the 'Task 29' which is full wipe of the Blackstone
8. Once completed, insert the microSD card and reboot into the TriColour mode again
9. The Blackstone will auto-flash-install (after key confirmation) the 'BlacIMG.NBH' on the microSD card
10. The 'BlacIMG.NBH' must NOT be flashed via Windows using the RUU tool (it will only fail)
11. Once flashed with the 'BlacIMG.NBH' it will reboot to a new Fastboot screen (blue background)
12. After a short time the Blackstone in Fastboot mode with enter a USB connect ready state
13. Now connect the Blackstone to your Windows OS and open a CLi/Command prompt
14. Within CLi go to the directory where you place the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files (from step 2)
15. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this will flash install the custom CWR)
16. Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (this will reboot your Blackstone into CWR)
and it's appear :

Why did you make a new thread for this? God, for some reason there is a thread for the ROM already...
Anyways, the phone is not stuck.
When you get into recovery press vol up, down, and up again, as it says on the instructions. Please read before asking.

unlock the power botton
