Ok, let me see if i understand u correctly, your specs give me no new questions they look ok. U have WM5 and want to run a program (from your work) which needs WM6 (wont run on WM5). HTC told you about the official WM6 update. This wont flash as activesync crashes, right?
With an official Rom you will not need to unlock the CID/SPL with USPL. But this goes only when you stick to your current language. i.e. a german WM5 is not allowed to be flashed into english. To do this you will need to USPL-unlock it 1st.
If the language is the same, it should work. Best is to do a hard reset 1st (2 soft buttons and soft reset, wait and press green/send.) Afterwards hook it on the PC (activesync want to start a newe partnership, click cancel, so u will be connected as guest).
Start the rom upgrade. Activesync should close and bootloader on the ppc will be started. This is a screen with many colours/stripes, which is normal but looks very bad and different from normal bootup.
Then the flashing will start, the screen on the ppc will turn white/grey and a scale will show you the percentage of the flashingprocess (similar to the screen of the pc). Wait patentiently and do not toch the ppc or disconnect (or expect a bricked device).
At the end, the ppc will reboot and take a while (longer then normal bootup) to initiate the boot for the 1st time.
If this wont work, then try to extract the upload file, put the ppc in boatloader mode, connect to pc and start the romupdateutility.exe directly.
Good Luck!

hi,
i've flashed my HTC P3300 and it was done successfully (using USPL) but the language was Spanish, i searched a lot how to change it to english since i dont understand a word of it.
through one of the forums, i was told to set the SysLang = 1032 in registry to get the english language, i done so, now, the phone is stuck in Welcome (WM6.1) screen and nothing is happening, not even responding to power key.
I tried hard reset, it doesn't work, i tried entering to bootloader, it also doesn't work, also, i am not able to connect it to PC since i guess its not completed up.
Just got stuck with a brick, can you help please. Really needed!!!!!!
Thanks

Maybe flashing ROM from memory card may help. Search Artemis wiki for micro card ROM flashing.

Hello, I guess I'm having the same problem...tried to flash but something went wong and now I have my htc p3300 blocked with the multicolor screen. It does not work, so I don't understand how I could start flashing rom by memory card. Could you be a little bit more detailed? Thanks in advance

O2 Orbit German to english

Hello friends,
I am not new but this is my first thread.
I have just bought a sim-free O2 Orbit from germany and it is working fine.
How can I turn the OS language into english? and I also get a failure connection to the internet since I arrived home in australia. it is 0x8007278.
Please the experts any advice is appreciated. thanks for sharing the science.
I was in the exact situation as you, this is how you change your ROM to English.
Get this program called USPL, it was created by a member of this bard called Bepe. Look on the first post for the program AND the instructions...read them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
What this program does is it unlocks the phones carrier lock so that it will take a ROM that is not OEM.
Once you have this, look for the ROM you want to run, I can personally recommend Bepes WM6 or WM6 Black and Blue v3.
Bepes rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309702
PDA Viet WM6 ROM (super freaking cool, way better than I thought it would be)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314568
Once you have these two things, put them all on the desktop for easy access, then run the USPL according to the instructions. You MUST have Active Sync installed, running and sync'd with your phone (plus its a great idea t have all your contacts backed up with Outlook). Once the USPL program has completed its process and the phone has restarted, you can then load any ROM you want. Simply plug in your phone via USB to your computer, then run the Rom Upgrade Utility that installs on your desktop when you download the ROM. It will show a progress bar, once you make it past 3 or 4 percent you know you are in the clear and the ROM will load right.
I cannot stress enough the importance of running USPL, if you dont you run an almost guaranteed risk of turning your phone into a cool looking paper weight.
If you follow these instructions, read a little in the Upgrading and the WM6 sections of this board, you will have an English phone in your hands by the time you go to bed tonight. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need and help.
Oh and PS - For the data, once you have changed you ROM to English, you need to either find the settings or the CAB file for your data connection. Most of the time these can be found on your service provenders site, if not, run a search of this bard, almost anything you need - world wide - is on here somewhere.
THANK YOU Itschcase. your responce was brilliantly quick.
I was trying since yesterday. read most of the eplanatory threads. tried not to bother you again. but I am stuck at the USPL. after fist step the screen goes black or grey and the activeSync disconnects and it remains like that. if I continue the process nothing happened if I soft reset then continue I get error 270 "image file corrupted" and the pda reboots automatically and goes back to its state. tried 10 times. reinstalled my xp after formatting the computer. tried on my other computer vista . still no change.
any ideas please

Upgrading HX2110 to WM6

Okay, I've finally got WM6 on my HX2110. For any other people having the same problems I did, here is exactly what I did. What the guides I've found don't tell you is where to find it, and what to do when you get it. Basically you need to trick the iPaq into thinking it's getting the original 1.00.00.l firmware and then switch firmwares. You need to downgrade to the original H firmware before the iPaq will accept wm6. This worked perfectly for me after two days of trial and error. More detailed steps are below, but basically its: flash with 100l, reset, run 100l and swap firmware with 100h, flash, run 100l and swap with wm6, flash
Prerequisites:
Advanced_pack_for_hx2xxx_to_WM6
iPaq HX2110
USB connection to computer
1) Hard reset iPaq. Do this by holding the calendar button and itask button (curved arrow), and then put your stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the iPaq. This will hard reset it.
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
3) run hpRUU.exe under the Wm5.0 for hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG folder. It's found in provishki. it will flash your ipaq to 1.00.00.l . let it flash all the way.
4) hard reset the ipaq and put it in bootloader mode. see steps 1 and 2. make sure it says USB.
5) do step 3 again, but this time don't click upgrade. rename the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file to 100l.nbf
6) go into the SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG folder and get the NBF file from there. copy it into the 1.00.00.L folder that we were just in. rename is to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf. click upgrade. let the upgrade finish.
7) repeat steps 1 and 2.
8) delete the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file that you just copied over and rename the 100l.nbf file to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf.
9) run hpruu.exe again. DO NOT CLICK UPGRADE.
10) get the wm6_wwe.nbf file and copy it into the directory we were just in. rename E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf to 100l.old and wm6_wwe.nbf to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf
11) click upgrade. let it finish.
12) repeat step 1
you should now have Windows Mobile 6 on your iPaq. Good luck
I've been finding things that said I need to downgrade my firmware to 1.00.00.h after doing the 1.00.00.l version. I can't find L for the life of me. All I need is for someone to show me where I can get it. The only sites that bring anything up about that are russian.

i might find the problem, i think i started with wm2003. do i need any prerequities to upgrade from WM2003 to wm6??
and what to do when I already bricked my hx2110?
something it's not clear for me... When we run hpruu and 100% of instalation it's complete the devive restart it self. Do we have to wait there? wen do we have to do the hard reset?
I did it!
my advices are
1)start installing from windows mobile 2003
2) do not restart the pocket pc before the windows log-in screen appears!
Good luck!
Thanks!
sorry for my english
So many thanks for your tips.
I have some friends who couldn't flash by ordinary steps, I hope your guides will solve their problem on upgrading to my Thai Customized WM6.1.

My device is Original WM2003, are there any prerequities before doing the upgrade mentioned in this article?
Hi!
I'm having some problems with my Hx2110...
When flashing my working ipaq (Step 6), my computer halt.
So, i run HPRUU to reflash again, with no luck (because of "incorrect device SKU). Of course, model ID returned of my bricked IPAQ is "¨¨¨¨¨¨¨"...
But i have another chance, i try universal bootloader and USB telnet, (USB> prompt never come. (Pre-Bl screen and USB on ipaq screen are ok.)
I've tried every solution in this forum, and on internet.. (well, there's a hpruu.exe patched to ignore lang/model, but is for 6xxx series only )
What happen if i put a working 2110 on cradle, when hpruu comes with UPDATE screen, disconnect usb, and connect my non-working ipaq?...this will work?. I can try this on monday.
Thanks!
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
I just have to ask this:
What we should do before Unpluging powe/usb cable and plug it back in ???
Does it means that after putting it in bootloader mode i must put it on a cradle, then unplug power/usb cable and then again plug in it and press the calendar button ??? Or else ?

Tried to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 and now my excalibur starts in tricolor mode!!!

I'm the newbiest of them all, I think I bricked my brand new Excalibur!!!
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I need heeeelp!
O.K., here it is:
I just downloaded kavana's 080314 WM6.1 installer for the HTC Excalibur, I ran the exe and followed instructions, afterwards, the ROM app opened and started upgrading the phone but it got stuck at 1%, it made be go thru the recovery process several times (unplug, turn off, disconnect battery, turn on) but it always started on tricolor mode and always got stuck on 1%, after a third recovery process the ROM app just quit and left me hanging on tricolor mode!!!
Activesync won't connect now, I try to run kavana's exe again but it doesn't recognize the phone either, the phone is on, conected (windows makes the usb sound for connection) but it is not recongized, it's as if it's not plugged.
It is stuck on tricolor mode and I don't know what to do!
Please help me!!!
Try the dicussion thread "Bricked my T Mobile phone" there are plenty of answers there.
Will this work?
I saw this on said thread, but I presume it applies for a Herald phone, will it work?
The tricolor mode is "bootloader mode"?
Isn't there some sort of restart that can fix it?
Can someone elaborate on this? I'm really a super-noob!!!
"Try a SD card flash to unbrick your device
This is how:
MAKE SURE THE HERALD IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE STARTING THE PROCES
#01 Download your original RUU
#02 Download (if not yet installed) WinRar and install
#03 Copy your full sd micro card to your harddisk and format your card with FAT 32
#04 Rightclick the downloaded exe file with your original RUU, click Unpack here
#05 In the map the will be created you will find a file (or similar) called RUU_signed.nbh. Copy this file to your formated sd microcard.
#06 Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh
#07 Get your Herald into bootloader modus by pressing the comm manager button and the camera button and pressing the reset button at the same time. Do not release both buttons until your in bootloader.
#08 Once in bootloader pop in your sd micro card.
#09 As soon as your card is popped in the screen will say something like "Reading SD card". Wait it out till it says "Push button to start" and slide the indicated volume slider down.
#10 The Herald will start the flashing proces. Wait it out till it says "Press any button" and hit the send button.
#11 Perform a hard reset
#12 Voila! Your back in business"

I believe you didn't application unlock it first. I had same issues. I finally got it to load. I don't think you bricked it. Remove battery wait a few seconds and restart phone

Do try these procedures first. I'm just throwing it out there but if you try again it is probably a better choice to flash to WM6 first. Then try flashing to the 6.1.
I'm sure you can return it but come up with a believable excuse.
Yes, You Are Correct!

Yes, that is the correct path for him to take, install a 6.0 ROM first, before installing a 6.1 ROM. I suggest he install the T-Mo official wm6, just to get things started in the right direction again.
(1) If the device is still in the tri color mode (bootloader mode), that's a very good sign, it's not bricked. Connect the device to your PC via active sync in the tri color mode, you may think that the device is not connected to Your PC but it is, it may not look like it's connected, run the official T-Mo wm6 ROM RUU WWE, it will install on your device as long as your device is in the tri color mode.
(2)Once you get the wm6 ROM installed on your device, you must first SDA_ApplicationUnlock your device, next you want to Certificate AppUnlock and SurrealApplication Unlock your phone. Now, the reason you are doing all these unlocks are because you coming off the T-Mo wm6 ROM.
(3)After all this have been done, it now ok to try to install the 6.1 ROM on your device.......!
Great support!!! But now comes the obvious question from the n00b of the n00bs!!!
Got it, now the big question is: how to flash to WM6?
Is it done by the steps I posted early? (formatting SD, etc.)
Also, where do I get the T-mobile RUU?
Finally, there are a few things you should know, my phone was bought in Mexico, under the cellphone company Movistar (Spain's Telefonica and I've heard U.S. AT&T), it had WM5 before I "bricked" it (hehehe).
When I turn it now, a few miliseconds before the tricolor screen I can read in the phone a "waiting for SD card" message when the tricolor screen comes on, I get this version of RUU 1.15.000.
I appreciate all your help, as a contribution to this amazing community, when I get thru this, I hereby commit myself to write a fully understandable guide for noobs with the same problem (not too long).

Is your mobile device still in the tri color mode, if so just connect it back to your PC via active sync, It will accept the download! OK you can get the T-Mo wm6 at T-Mo's website, if not I will send you a link with the T-Mo wm6 RUU. Don't panic, you are still in the game.......!
Update!! Phone unbricked but still on WM5!
Ok... I used this ROM: HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
It went thru the upgrading process but got stuck at 3%, anyway, it finished with a message like "this ROM cannot be used for your phone" or something and restored WM5.
Now I will follow instructions on the thread: "The Full Guide To Upgrading From Windows Mobile 5 to 6" and I'll be posting my acomplishments on this thread.
Question: The reasons for me not being still able to upgrade may be:
1. I haven't unlocked phone,
2. My phone is for Mexico and cellphone co. "Movistar", or
3. I'm running Windows XP as a virtual machine (via parallels) on an intel Macintosh and somehow there's a problem with the USB drivers.
I'm rooting for option 1 (but kavana's upgrade was supposed to already unlocked it). Option 3 maybe but then, why do I get Activesync to run? Option 2 would be a bummer!

A easy frix, but read the instructions very carefully, jockyw2001 thread is located in the sticky section. What you are looking for will be in post #1.........!
New Instructions
Run the Excalibur Uspl-CID ByPass.zip, extraxt on your PC and open it there, you will see several file folders. Open the one that say (uspl) MS-Dos batch File, follow on screen instructions by pressing any key. This time when you see the white screen on your device do not panic! Run the HTC WM 6 ROM, this is done while the screen is still white on your device. Just follow the on screen instructions on your PC.............!
Now I definitively bricked it!
I ran the CID unbloker, screen went blank, ran the ROM, it got to 16% and made me do a recovery, after the recovery it gave me the same "invalid vendor id" message and it automatically restarted the phone, but...
The restart stopped at the HTC intro screen!! I've restarted it several times and it just stops on the first HTC logo screen... even a hard reset won't fix it!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Here is a visual aid.
You are not reading into detail. Use the Tmobile rom instead of the HTC Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368998&highlight=Jamerican
Still Bricked!!!
Yeah!!! superb visual aid!!!
I just wish I had seen it before I bricked it!!!!
This is the current state of my phone: I press power, I see a white screen with the HTC logo in the middle, the phone vibrates, still the same HTC logo... and it is stuck that way! I can't turn it off, I have to take out the battery!!
I've tried a hard reset, same thing happens! It stays stuck on the HTC logo screen and I'm forced to pull the battery out for the phone to shut down.
It is obviously not recognized in any way when I plug it to the PC's USB.
What made this happen? HTC Generic ROM got stuck on 16% before telling me "invalid vendor id", restarted the phone and voila: brick!!
Boy, I wish I was back in the tricolor mode!!!
IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO?
I'm seriously thinking about going back to the vendor on monday and saying: It was like this when I woke up (I just bought it three days ago!!!)
If it gets that far, it doesnt seem totally bricked, ima PC man, so this may be off, but it seems like some kinda bootloader error on the phone itself....IE, the HTC screen is all that the bootloader tells the phone to load. Have you tried forcing the phone into bootloader mode?
I Looooooove Google!!!
OK... I found a turnaround for the problem... got it to go to bootloader mode!!!
Whenever something like these happens to you this is the hard way to put your excalibur/dash in bootloader mode:
1. Take out battery and sd card;
2. Plug your USB cable to your PC (not yet to the phone)
3. Press and keep holding the SIMB. key (the one with the camera next to the space bar)
4. Plug your USB cable to your phone (while still pressing the SIMB. key)
5. Voila: You are in bootloader mode!!
This was gotten for a 15 min. search in google!!
Now... I'll keep going with my WM5 to WM6 upgrade...

e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

When i edit the .NBH file, i get a "ERROR 270" message!
When i dont edit the .NBH file, i get a "Invalid Ventor - Error Message"
I try to install this ROM:
"RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe"
So my Dash is a German Device, and i want a German ROM, if it is possible!?
OK, i try to go manually in the Bootloader modus, disable ActiveSync for
USB Transfer...and run the RUU Rom...but it allways break down the flash
process at 4% !
...mmh...have i forget any info, that you can help me...i dont know?
Ah Yes...i read in the Thread:
"How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!"
Here the link to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
But i can see anything on the starting screen, if my dash ist a G3 or G4,
on my start screen ist "ABSOLUTLY - NO - Information" about it!
In the "System Information" i found a RIL Nr. 2.0002 ...
So i think my dash is a IPL/SPL G3...but i dont know it really!
I dont know what i can do anymore, to update my device to WM6.0 or 6.1
Plz, if anyone know what i can do, to fix my problem, plz then tell it to me,
thank you very much, and forgive me about my bad english!
Ok, i test many times this tool "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" ...and yesterday
it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like
every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE
Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!
Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use
this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?
I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with
Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!
So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :
"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"
This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit
was zu tun...*g*
But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my
dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the
Phone, so that i must remove the battery....
The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),
will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,
"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux
Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?
Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?
And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?
Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum
here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!
Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?
Thank you!
If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...

Thank you!
But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try
to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!
I actually install this Rom:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe
I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh
Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...
But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom
The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?
That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.
Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?
Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?
And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM
without a CID Bypass Bootloader?
Any ideas?
The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that
Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux
Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove
the Battery, for a new start.
But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?
I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???
If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.

Thank you,
but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time
into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)
But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !
But now, not ! I dont know why?
With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !
But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"
INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!
But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,
wont work anymore....
You know what i mean?
The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.
When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in
Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone
have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?
To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!
That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search
here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?
Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!
But Thank you for Advice!
Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.

...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!
But i have found a Solution "Yeah" !
For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!
Try this Link: Click
Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!
The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !
Follow the steps in the text document!
Work fine for me!
But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove
the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the
"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.
(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)
I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"
You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!
After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,
remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only
the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !
All work fine!
Thank you Developers!

I canoot start, i cannot repair ROM

Hi, all, i have problem with my SPV 700 (HTC 3600) - Trinity.. When I turn on it, I see only start screen eith HTC logo, (you'll see it in attachments) there is only M 05 B05, R 1.50.08.11, g 32.83.7020.20h, D 3.00, i can do nothing... I cant reflash ROM because my computer cannot find it, and instalation write updater is old, you must find newer updater.. When i install acivesync, it cannot find too, but my installers (5 downloaded) will start, but write Cannot find hardware. (or mobile phone). Is any program, to connect my htc, or reflash ROM?
I found Schaps_WM6Pro_Trinity_4.30.2008_WWE_Full(p3600I) or some next, but every write cannot connect. Thank you very much.
Load from mini SD!?
You can try loading your ROM from mini SD card !
You need to format sd card to FAT32 with Card Reader first!

Man please read from instruction from the passage named HARD RESET, the button you are talking about its for software reset only!
Use the seq. Power+Camera+reset!Keep each button pushed and then use stillus for reset and you will get the Tricolor screen - but first format your SD like i describe in the post #2 and then copy your ROM on it!
exactly the same problem here. i tried to re install gelly_01 greek rom. The only requirement i did not follow was the connection with active sync. I am using Vista and the connection with the pc invokes the windows mobile device center. I tried to reinstall through a xp vmware with activesync but i get an error 270.
Any thoughts?
I am trying to find sth relevant.
thnx!

Hard reset your phone first, then use the bootloader method(Camera+Power+Reset then in the bootloader connect the usb cable)!
First try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659
If not - read carefully the instructions from here:
- http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66 - all you have to know about hard SPL and how to do.
Anyway, also try to change the Rom image that you have used when you bricked your device!Try a new ROM by the date of release!
Thnx for the advice! I got it working. Before reading your reply I had started installing the original rom provided by htc (WM5). It installed correctly and at least i have my phone back. I will check your links about hard SPL (thanx ) but i had installed the gelly_01 rom before , not through vista though.
I will try to reinstall it.
It's getting late here so i will check it tommorow and infirm you.
Regards.
problem solved Its working now, but I dont know how i repair it
for unlock CID HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip (Its not compatibile, but my opinion is it unlock but dont repair rom) then i give there [P3600i] HardSPL v1.1.rar and end is Trinity_WM_6.1_NEW.OS_19965_Diamond_edition_by_Akeo_V3.1.rar all files are in attachments.
I give there HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1.zip too, before Akeo Diamond edition.
This can be closed now. Thanks for all thank you ! Here are lot of good peoples really thx
