After many flashings of roms, I finally flashed back to the official AT&T WM6 rom located at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334771
My phone, even with my new sim card doesn't pick up any reception at all. All I get is the two arrows with the "x" and that other weird symbol with the exclamation point next to it.
I have a tilt and when I pop my sim inside, it works perfectly, no hiccups what so ever.
I live here in Hawaii and we just recently turned on the 3G network and I'm not sure if it affects my 8525.
Any ideas on what may be wrong? I had used Black Majiks WM6 on my 8525 previously but this past Monday I had issues with it so I tried flashing a bunch of times and still no fix.
I've searched through the threads for the last 2 days and everything I've tried so far hasn't work and I'm really desperate and need input from more professional users. PLEASE!!!
More information regarding phone problem.
When I try hit the green phone button, it doesn't do anything. Also going to phone settings under the settings menu, and it doesn't go there! Don't know why, I try to click it and nothing. Other icons work, not that one though.
This is getting ever more frustrating and I'm still searching through the thread for possible solutions, but nothing. Someone out there has to have some clue as to what may be wrong!
Found out another thing that might be of importance.
When I reset my device, soft or just turning it off and on, I get a "No GSM" on the AT&T screen.
Man, I've even gone as far as visiting Mr. Vanx's site to downgrade everything back to WM5. I still get the "No GSM" on my startup screen and no connection!
WTF?????????????
Well if you can get to the boot loader try flashing the official rom from HTC's Site for your phone. I'm not saying the one you DLe'd from here was bad but maybe it's just not the right one for your phone for some reason.
http://www.america.htc.com/
Well not to say the ROM you DL'ed from here was bad or anything but if you can get to the bootloader flash the officially released ROM from http://www.america.htc.com/ for your phone and see if that fixes your problem. Maybe the ROM you got from here is just not the right one for your phone or something. Worh a try anyway as you can't really use it as is.

You know, the weird thing is that I tried to download stuff from the American HTC site, and I can only max out at 10.0kbps and I can NEVER get the whole file, only 15% maybe.
Talk about running into one problem after the other.
Is there a mirror out there somewhere?

I agree, anyone have it I can download? I keep getting lockups on my 8525 with the Schapps build and I want to try the offical build to see if it's the device or the build........but it downloads SOOOO slow......
Just finnninshed uploading RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe the Official ATT/HTC America file to Media Share. Here is the link for you. Hope it helps, let me know.

Ok thanks for the uploads. Got the file. I just want to make sure if I should upgrade to Hard-SPL V7 before I use the update the rom?
I went all the way back to Herm SPL 1.06 and Cingular WM5. Don't want to brick the phone so wanted confirmation before I do anything else. Can't afford for things to get more messed up.

Well I like using Hard-SPL V7 especially for the cooked roms as it gives you a bit of safety, but the rom I uploaded here is the Official HTC America / ATT Rom so you can follow their flash instructions for it. I even successfully flashed this ROM from VISTA 64 bit with no problem to my Herm 100.
As with any Flashing their is always a risk if something should go wrong that you will have a brick but your already near that point as you can't do anything with the phone at this point anyway.
GL & let us know how you make out.

Hello All,
I have been upgrading mine and a few friend's dash's to the Kavana 6.1. My Dash however has a hardware issue (the ear piece speaker is distorted) and is being replaced through warranty service. My new dash arrived today, and I know I need how to re flash my software back before I send it to T mobile. I downloaded TMO_1.22.531.6 from the official rom sticky. However when I open the zip file it is a RUU_signed.nbh file contained inside.
I am not sure how to flash with this file. I assume it requires some other software in order to flash it. I have tried numerous searches and can't really seem to find what I am looking for. I really got spoiled by the simple EXE launchers included with Kavana rom's.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to go to this thread .
On the bottom of that thread download the files needed zip file, add (copy or move) the .nbh file in that folder after you unzip it of course.
Run the romutilityupgrade.exe file and follow the directions as you did before.
Why not go to Tmobile support site and download the official Rom and install that ?
Thank you for your help -- I actually tried it both ways.
First I tried to use the t-mobile website and when I attempted to run the exe it always failed out on error 202 which of course is usb (even though it was connected). So then I tried it the way by grabbing the software recommended. When I ran the AUTO batch script (similar to the way I installed Kavana), it installed just fine. So that being said, I got it downgraded. If you can't tell I don't have a real great understanding of the actual upgrade/downgrade process.
Issue is tho, when I first got the phone, the initial splash screen was t mobile if I remember correct, but when I upgraded to Kavana it changed it to the HTC logo. Well after the downgrade, it still boots with the HTC logo instead of Tmobile. Will that be a dead give away that I flashed the phone when warranty center receives it? If so how could i change it?
That's definitely gonna raise some eyebrows.. but I kinda doubt they'll notice it. Just look at the idiot phone techs you get when you call their tech support line... I don't know how you would change that...

you can go here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341753 and follow instructions on post #1 to reflash the tmobile boot spash screen. i've tried it and i have the t-mo splash screen now.
Thanks for the help! I actually was able to get it to successfully go away by stepping back another version to .4 from .6 -- this replaced the screen and returned it back to the way it came. Coincidentally, after looking at the replacement units software version and confirming it was .4 I feel fairly confident everything will be fine, oh and now everyone doesn't sound like a robot!
Thanks again,
Chris
I have had my s620 for a while now and everything has been fine, flashed it with a rickys rom then changed my mind and went with kavanas (sp?) then something happened....
i broke the darn screen!, not a problem i replaced it. simple but... i lost all my settings, smart toolkit and the t9 programs were no longer installed?
i've been trying to flash back to kavanas or the new rose rom with no luck, whatever i do it wont run the SPL part of the auto.bat ???
i've unlocked it again, played with the usb connection settings, everything i can think of! someone please help!
i've attached a screen shot of where it hangs for you...
***EDIT*** and i have tried all the obvious things, and some of the less obvious (running the SPL file myself from the device, restarting the device, hard reset, etc)
Maybe try flashing with your official ROM first. I don't know that much but what ever is screwed up from having a broken screen might get fixed doing that. I know, annoying extra step but worth a shot...
i wish it was so simple lol!
I cant find my official rom anywhere, its a UK BT Broadband Rom ???
I've tried 3 different Roms, even tried to bypass the Auto.bat files for the roms and do the flashing manually with no luck!
Edited: (Link removed, was software update. Not the Full ROM)
There's the link to download the official BT Broadband ROM Update
The BT ROM is here http://www.mediafire.com/?mgldgtxc3gq
So did it end up working when flashing with your official rom?
well first try nope, no luck
It went through the install process and not all of the cabs installed (it copies everything to the phone and then runs individual packages) so i stopped the process in fear of bricking my phone.
Im stumped on this one, what could i of done when i replaced the screen that would stop the flashing process from working???

What cabs? The ROM is a .exe the first link placed on this thread is not the ROM it's the BT software update, run the BT ROM i placed link to and see if works?
Actually the first link is the newest ROM for his Phone from the BT Broadband website. I searched it quite extensively to find it. Newer then the one you posted.

Thanks you guys, worked perfectly after i re-flashed to the original rom.

Thats cool happy to help Always good to keep a copy back.
Glad to hear it, sorry for the wrong link...
So..my phone is rather useless at the moment. Won't load the rom after freezing up while i slept last night. I go into bootloader and try to reflash but get the error "Invalid update tool" and it says something about a newer version. Has anyone had this error or know how to fix it? I am in desperate need of assistance here. Thank you for all replies in advance.
Edit: The exact error is as follows
Code:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was running Kavana cooked rom 6.1.
I have tried to reflash with atleast 5 different roms and they all present this error.
Just checking, but did you try the default ROM for your device? If it is a T-mobile Dash, you will want to use one the the Tmobile stock ROM's first.

I know this might be a stupid question of me but, did you do a hard reset?
Why would you make another thread regarding issues with your phone, when you already have a thread going about problems with your phone?
Please post accordingly You should've posted this other issue on your previous thread, rather than making a new one! Can you imagine if everyone would make a thread for every little issue with their phone?

It won't hard reset. I made a new topic because this is a completely different problem. I apologize if it was not necessary.
Bump.
Any ideas at all?
Ah yes.
My bomb didn't detonate until some time Wed/Thu night. 6am Thu morning I had to be at my local Polling Station where I was to be the 'Presiding Officer'.
Bad, bad timing.
Still, I managed a hard reset without the SD card in, (this took a few attempts), and having basic phone function, off I went to do my bit for European Democracy - honestly, the whole thing would be chaos without me ...
Anyway, I digress. I do that quite a lot. There was this one time ...
... I didn't get 'round to trying to sort it all out until Sat afternoon, (the phone, not the European Parliament), and as I have flashed this phone to buggery and beyond I expected it to take little time.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I downloaded the latest version of the Energy ROM, (love it, love it, love it), ran the .bat file and; error 270.
I sparked up the bootloader and, of course, no connected device meant no update. I tried various 'stock' ROMs and got the same error you describe.
In UK, my provider is BT and there is no image link in the stickies, (I have finally found one, I will send a Mod a link), and tracking a full basic .exe image proved really difficult.
However, once found, all my problems evaporated.
So, find an executable basic ROM image from the phones' original provider, fire up the bootloader, run the .exe and a few minutes later you will be able to reflash.
Honest.
I believe you can also load the image as a .cab file onto the SD card and install from there but I didn't have to investigate this so can't promise anything. Sorry.
The ROM image is the key.
Once the bomb detonates, hard reset etc seems to become a bit flakey - keep trying.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Another beer I think ...
** Edit **
Yes, of course the BT ROM is now working.
Now I don't need it.
Ah well.
Here's my phone info:
AT&T Tilt 2 6.5 (says world phone when it starts up)
CE OS 5.2.21849

480 x 800 resolution
I've tried for several days to hack, install, flash, jailbreak, etc.

All I want to do is freakin' put a new rom on my phone...I like NRGZ28's roms and I've put the stupid Hard SPL Olinix or whatnot on my phone.
But beyond that I've read every manual and text file but it just won't work...
also...
what other rom's are out there that i can try???

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)
But he is not SIM unlocked

Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.

It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.

i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash

Yes, you can boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power when the device is off) and flash the EnergyROM made for CDMA devices such as your Sprint TP2, instead of the one of GSM devices, as I assume you flashed by mistake. After that, everything should work just fine

First, step back and don't panic. Where did you get the Energy ROM? Here at XDA? Sprint is a CDMA carrier, and Energy in THIS forum is GSM. If you want an Energy ROM for your Sprint Phone, go to the link below and download it. In the meantime, I would go ahead and download Task 29 for CDMA and run it prior to flashing the CDMA Energy ROM. Do you know what task 29 is? Was this your first attempt at flashing a custom ROM? Sorry for all the questions, but I need more information from you to be able to help efficiently. However, I don't think you have bricked your phone for good.
And just remember, for all future CDMA Custom ROMs, stay in the PPC Geeks forum. There are MANY really good ROMs for your phone there.

While plugged into USB, just double click on the Task 29.exe file, and it will run the process as if you are flashing a new ROM. After it is done, it will soft reset your phone, and stop. If you have never done it before you may think you have bricked again. That's because there is now NO operating system on your phone for it to boot into. After it gets to this point, pull the battery out, and while holding down the Volume down button, reinsert the battery. When the multi-colored screen comes up release the Volume down button and watch until USB comes up at the bottom of the screen. At this point, just flash your new ROM as you usually would. This should clean out all remnants of any previous bad flash. Glad you got your phone back!!!

For some reason, it seems that many of the guys who have been on these forums for quite a while forget that THEY TOO were a noob once. You'll be helping others out before you know it. I'll see you over at PPC Geeks. That is where I stay most of the time.
My TP2 is a CDMA, my wife's is an ATT Tilt2, so I try to keep up in both forums.

Assuming that you downloaded your Task29 utility at PPC Geeks, and it's for CDMA I'll have to think about that one for a minute. Are you connecting successfully to ActiveSync via USB? IF not, I would try rebooting the computer. If you ARE connected to ActiveSync, Any time I have had this fail, it has been an ActiveSync issue, but can't remember if it was telling me that it can't be used on my device.

It happened to me twice. Once when I tried to flash a HD2 ROM and once when I tried to flash a CDMA rom to my GSM Rhodium. Maybe our friend th4t1guy has a GSM Rhodium? This message saved my phone 2x. Otherwise, it could just be a bug.
