Splashcreen update problem - Touch Cruise ROM Development

hi,
New to the "ROM update" world, i've succeded in installing the French Rom V1.25.406.1.fr on my HTC Cruise (Polaris).
My "problem" was this red and very ugly "SFR / vodafone" splash screen. Then, i searched on the forum to find a way to change this screen and found this thread :
"How to kill vodafone startup" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368421&highlight=sfr , redirecting to a ...Trinity thread.
I arrived to the WIKI page dedicated to this : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen and followed instructions using "mtty" :
USB> task 32
USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 500e0000
USB> task 8
USB> task 32
USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 50140000
USB> task 8
The device restarted twice (after each "task 8" command), and now offers a white startup screen, but keeps on loading WM6 FR correctly. So there has been a problem while updating the screen but did not cause a dramatic failure.
I then restarted the device in booloader mode and found that the description in the red section had been sort of corrupted.
It now displays :
::::::::::: MFG
SPL-2.20.01inex
CPLD-2
As it looks strange to me, and as i can't find a way to have a proper splashscreen i decided to reinstall the ROM package. But when starting to install i now get this message "ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID". On this error screen is also diplayed a kind of serial number on the right bottom, and it looks "corrupted" as far as i remembe i saw such number ant it was normal during my first installation. It now displays : "N-&ààaâäae-S-PPND./01*"
After this quick recap, i would be very please to find help for any tech guy (or not) who could find a way to get install a proper ROM on my device that will be updatable again.
hope i'm clear (i understand this can be a little messy ..), and i really hope someone will help me get rid of this.
thanks guys.

well congratulations for managing to find the place it stores the Model ID, hard luck for managing to wipe it.
what I'll do is rbmc my device and dump off my nand so you can write back a valid ModelID... but in the worst case scenario I can just bung you a patched SPL to ignore the model ID.
I think I'll post the correct addresses on the wiki... also, rather than committing suicide like that, in future, build an NBH properly and the device takes care of the addresses for you.
oh, one other thing, could you please check and see if your WLAN is dead or not.

Thx for your time dude. i feel so stupid ...

I've just checked my WLAN. it could correctly open a WPA TKIP session on my router and browse mobile.htc.com with Internet Explorer.
That must mean it's alive and working i think.

yeah... unicode string at 0x50104000
I think we can probably recover you if we make a 0x100 byte file with the appropriate data and lnb it to that address

OK, I've reconstructed you a ModelID to flash using lnb...
command is
lnb 50104000 thefile.nb
(where thefile.nb is the filename of the NB in the zip... please remember to extract it)

That's really great news. I'm crossing fingers. thx.

Guess what ?
The bootloader now dipslays "POLA100". Big thank Olipro !
I'm on my way to have a ROM UPDATE in order to know if i can give you the title of fu*** genious of the day or not
PS : correct command is "lnb thefile.nb 50104000"

ROM update successful, title confirmed !
Cheers Olipro

yes, my mistake, it's file then addr.
incidentally, the correct address to lnb the splash screen to is 0x50140000 and 0x501A0000 respectively.

You know whether to replace the splash "welcomehead.96."
I am trying to copy in the folder of Windows, but it doesn't go.

figured it out, your bootloader needs to be upgraded to say Typhoon IU. mine didn't follow the second post from here to learn how to do it.

does anyone know how to downgrade? help!!!!!
haven't figured out yet how to downgrade.
the 0109 bootloader does not work with the normal upgrade utility.
I am working on extending my typhoonnbfdecode.pl script to also generate sd card images.

can anyone cofirm this specific download works on a uk c500? And has anyone tried tomtom on it? Still a bit nervous of trashing my phone!
Thanks
if you read the 3 posts before your mainly the first i cant blame you for being spooked
it works on the typhoon type devices ( with the long horizontal navigator button ), not on the feeler ( with the small round joystick), or sonata ( with music player buttons )
on the non-typhoon devices, the joystick button behaves strangely, you cannot move left/right.

My HTC TyTN does not detect any SIM cards.

I have a TyTN which I ordered from the States and live in Australia. When I put in my current phones SIM GSM/GPRS card the TyTN starts up by displaying the HTC logo and the following numbers at the bottom of the screen:
M 05
S 04 No GSM
B 05 D 1.18
For a brief second the No GSM pops onto the screen and then the machine boots up. It displays the little aerial at the top of the screen with the exclamation mark. It seems to do that weather there is a sim card in it or not.
I went to Telstra and tried a 3G card but it did the same thing. I also tried an Optus card as well and it also did nothing. After looking through this site I noticed that I do not list a radio or protocol version as everyone else’s does, or is it only listed after the network has been detected?
If I run the phone program and go to menu > options it does nothing but display ‘Unknown SIM status. Only emergency calls can be made without a PIN.’ This message is displayed regardless of weather or not there is a SIM in the machine or weather it requires a PIN. I cannot find any way to ask the machine to detect a network or choose from a number of networks or review status or settings.
Any information or advice would be much appreciated. :roll:
Regards,
Steve
From reading what you have put, it sounds like your device has no Radio Rom, or if it does its corrupt.
If you are in a posistion to return the device to where you got it from I would do that first.
If you cant (aka ebay etc) then I would try reflashing the phone with the appropriate rom and it should overwrite all the rom, radio rom and extended rom leaving you with a working phone.
Put the device in bootloader mode (press POWER and SIDE OK together and at the same reset with stylus), connect to it using mtty and once you see the "USB>" prompt type "checkimage".
You should see the Radio Image CRC checksum there and will be able to diagnose if there's any problem with it. For more info read this wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
Thanks guys.
Unfortunately it's not really an option to return the unit. I would rather sort it out myself if possible.
Pof,
I took your advice and put the device in boot loader. The screen came up with a series if coloured bands of red, green, blue and white. In the red band were the following details:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
I ran the MTTY app. and it came up with the results that you can see in the attachment.
I suppose my next question is “where to from here?” Is it possible to reinstall the ROM of the same version I currently have or is there some other way to turn on the radios ROM?

Looking at your signature I guess you're using HTC 1.18.255.3 07/22/06 English rom, right? This rom is available on the FTP, check it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Try to upgrade it, and let us know if you have any problems after the upgrade.
I've had the same problem with one of the earlier units. No GSM. I've reflashed it with shipped ROM and it worked for a day. Then, one of the phone calls got interrupted and after soft reset - NO GSM again. At this point it would not reflash at all - was stuck at 4%. Good luck to you, but I strongly advise to replace this unit ASAP.
Cheers
Thanks Pof and ID64,
I downloaded the ROM and tried to reinstall but had the same problem that ID64 explains. My problem is it stops at 1%. The instructions say this is not a problem just soft reset or pull the battery out. Unfortunately you end up in a vicious circle and it keeps freezing at 1%. I even downloaded a different ROM to see if that would help. Unfortunately it did not.
As mentioned I bought the unit from an online vendor in the States. It’s taken so long to determine that there is a genuine fault rather than a config problem that I do not know if I can return it. I may have to test HTCs ‘worldwide warranty’. Does anyone have any experience with claiming warranty? I wonder if it’s easier to contact Taiwan rather than trying to send it back to the States? If anyone knows the best course of action please let me know.
:?:
Try going into bootloader and typing "set 14 0" to reset the unit to default values before you return it.
If you want to know exactly why the upgrade fails you can sniff the USB port while trying to upgrade using HHD USB Monitor, in the "complete" view you'll see the error message coming from the device. Export it to .txt and attach it here if you want some feedback about the error.
Good luck!
Thanks all,
ID64 I took your advice after trying to load the ROM. It would get to 1% and freeze. I tried the Dopod ROM and it would get to 14% then freeze.
I contacted the supplier (in the States) and he agreed to replace the unit once it was confirmed faulty. I had to send it to Denmark. I have just been informed that the unit is indeed faulty and they will send me a new unit. It is due for dispatch shortly. I will let you know once I have received it and it actually works.
Thanks again all. You were able to provide enough info for me to determine that the unit was genuinely faulty rather than a simple setting or software issue.
Cheers.
Similar error
I have a similar error to the one above with my T-Mobile Vario II. It is intermitant and can be resolved for a time by a soft reset.
The output from running the same test above gives;
IPL CRC checksum = 0x1C4C8E67
SPL CRC checksum = 0x921BC30
CE CRC checksum = 0x3766505C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xBC294D4A
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xF0BF1EF5
Does this indicate that it isnt hardware?
Can anyone offer any suggestions to what may be causing this?
The problem seemed to appear when I changed away from the standard shipped radio ROM.
Thanks
Aidan

Prophet STUCK at BootScreen (2.10.0001 G4 Orange)

My Prophet Stuck at bootscreen , with displayed
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 1.0.13.21
It happened after I tried to downgrade it.
PLEASE, tell me how to recover it ?
I had wizard before, and have some experience with backup/downgrade/upgrade/IMEI Change. Also I have backup of the phone, made by aWizard.
But this time i missed line that downgrade is NOT for G4 (2.xx.0001) ROMs. Is it possible to downgrade G4 (2.xx.0001) ROM ? Or is it possible to use iWizard w/o downgrading ?
Problem solved ! Please, stick this post up - I saw A LOT of people in this forum to ask how to resolve situation with "STUCK ON START-UP SCREEN" ... no one full answer. So ... solution :
1 step. Download one working for YOUR G3 or G4 version ROM. You can easly recognize the difference
G4 ROM on startup screen looks like
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.13.0001
Look at last digit - if it's like 0001 - its G4 ROM. If it ends like 2.00.000, or just 2.00 - then its G3 hardware version.
So G4 (2.XX.0001) users can use any G4 ROM like this one ( tested by me ) -> ftp://xda:[email protected]/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip
G3 (2.XX) users can use this ROM -> ftp://xda:[email protected]_AKU23_023021_P12MB_PDAMobiz_v2307.exe This ROM is not tested by me, but I have read a lot of good responses about it.
2 step. First prepare the phone - full charge battery. After that, hold CAM + COMM buttons ( on the left side of the phone ) and reset it. You will be bringed to so sadly famous "three colors screen". Now connect your phone through USB and start Updating program that you have downloaded before. Sit back for about 15 minutes ( dont get nervous when it stucks on 80% ... it had to pass it after time). If everything goes smooth - after reset you must to have working phone again.
2A step. If you get error message ( like I did first time )
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
You have to make few steps, a little more complicated then pressing NEXT buton couple of times.
First, download this cracked version of ROM Update Utility program. Can be found here -> ftp://[email protected]/Prophet/Tools/ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip , then
1. Download and install WinRAR ( http://www.rarlabs.com/ )
2. Click with right button on program that updates ROM ( like RUU_Prophet_G3_2151327_AKU23_023021_P12MB_PDAMobiz_v2307.exe ) and choose Extract to...
3. Replace in directory you just extract archive file ROMUpdateUtility.exe with the same file from the archive you have downloaded early (ftp://[email protected]/Prophet/Tools/ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip )
4. Now, run ROMUpdateUtility and this time there will be no WRONG VENDER ID error.
Good Luck
When I want to download the Zip file

Please help!
[SOLVED]
I had to put the nk.nbf folder in the right place - as I didn't know 100% where, I just put it in ever folder and subfolder of the orange folder! I am on 95% now.... fingers crossed!

How to update ROM on O2 Orbit-solution

All,
I've exchanged many emails with the imei.check.co.uk team and also met personally one of these guys in order to be able to upload a new ROM to my O2 Orbit. I had excatly the same problem as many of you with ending the uploding process with "model invalid id" error message.
Now I'm happy to say we do have a solution.
So if you want to change your ROM (any), simply follow these instructions:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Of course you can publish the instructions...
BUT PLEASE put a BIG WARNING! It will crash the phone in case you don't have a valid key file to perfom the last step: RUN THE UNLOCKER AGAIN AFTER THE ROM MODEL SWITCH TO RECOVER FROM THE DATA CRASHED MESSAGE!
Hello,
we found a way to flash ANY artemis roms in ANY Artemis look alike device (HTC Hero too).
Tools you need:
-hexworkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
-Any rom
-winzip or winrar
-http://www.imei-check.co.uk/C3v1Unlock.zip
a valid UNL file for your phone.
install hexworkshop and winzip/winrar
Take any rom for example: ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship.exe
in explorer, right click on it and select "Extract files..."
Now it will unpack all the files
You'll have now "HTCWWE_shipsigned.nbh"
right click on it and Click "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
You'll see on the 5th row ARTE10000
Make it ARTE***** and save file
Now right click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
Search for word password.it will find it at 0x3E0B0 after password replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" and save the .exe file
Now connect the phone to the pc (normal way). run the C3v1Unlock.exe
when is asking for UNL file, disconect the phone from pc, press cancel, and
close the unlocker.
Now connect the phone back to the pc (in this mode it is) and run the
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Now follow the instructions as the upgrade it will work.
After upgrade done, run the unlocker again and this time select the correct UNLfile.
Task Done.
C3 after flashing with any WIFI roms it will STILL not have WIFI!!!
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cheers, Martin
YESS, I have changed my GER rom to new HTC official ENG Rom, you are the best!!!!!! It's very simple to do...
yuppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
the next step is.... backup the ROM I'm search ITA ROM form my HTC 3300.
see you later...
Good Discovery,
But the key is: We will have to pay 38USD for the "Proper UNL file" which is unique for every IMEI. Is it right?
Yeah, Thanks mr. Martin who is from Imei-Check Team. But we are still looking for a free solution.
Regards!
Tamagochi,
yes, first you have to go to imei.check and pay for the unlocking program and the unique .unl file.
P.S. I'm not a member of imei.check, just had the same problem as many Orbit users here...you can find my previous thread.
Works great on all versions.
Great support from the boys from emeicheck
Question about directions
Okay, I'm gonna try this. Do I still follow these directions exactly even though I have already unlocked the CID?
Also, when you see the line "ARTE1000" do you actually replace the "1000" part with the little stars? Sorry, I'm really new at this!
Thanks!
Yes you must do it all.
HELP
Everything went smoothly but when the device rebooted, it want me to "align the screen". It doesn't seem to be able to detect the stylus touching the screen! Can't get past that screen! Anybody know what I could have done wrong?
REF: HELP (Never Mind...)
I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!!! Just had to wait a minute or two and then everything seemed to work fine!!! TomTom is there, my WiFi is working! Thank you MAROSV and FRANCOBANCO!!!! If I can do it, ANYBODY can!! THANK YOU!!!
Hi KleineMaus,
I am wondering which ROM u used on your orbit that includes tomtom?
Or do you just mean you still had tomtom stored on your menory card?
Cheers, Towelie.

hi, I've just used the last HTC offical Rom (see xda ftp site..) that include TomTOm + 1 city map
byebye
Hi, I used the ROM on the Wiki page Dopod|English|DOPOD001|ARTE1****|1.25.707.2 ??/??/0?|1.25.707.104|1.25.0000|02.69.90|4.1.13.30| [Download|ftp://xda:[email protected]/Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe]|[Thread|http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286639]
It worked like a charm. The only problem I had was that when the Orbit re-booted after the process finished, it didn't seem to detect the sylus. I just waited five minutes and then it worked. Guess it was still getting settled in with it's new ROM. I don't know where I had the TomTom before I started the update, but it installed the German maps which were there before but as a bonus it gave me a English speaking voice which I didn't have before. It came with a German voice and I couldn't change because I had not yet upgraded the memory and had no room. So, my update was super! The only little thing is that once I changed the screen color back to blue instead of that terrible green, I couldn't get the phone part (dialing pad) to change to blue. No biggie, as now I can use my Orbit in English. I can live with the green phone pad! Maybe somebody will tweak that one. Hope this wasn't more info than you needed....
KleinMouse,
the dialing pad can be easily changed as well....just do a little seach on this Artemis forum and you will find many links pointing to skins available for WM5 phone edition.
O2 Orbit ROM upgrade info
Hi,
my o2 orbit has ROM 1.25.206.2 WWE. I wanted to know if this is the latest ROM available for my phone. I got my phone 10 days ago and i gotta do a soft reset on it every day. I had the same kind of problems with o2 Atom. But most of the issues were corrected once the ROM was upgraded. Please someone update me on my situation. Thanks
I tried the steps but i'm always getting the ERROR[300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL - This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Anyone who can help me here? I already tried different ROMs but always the same message
Did you unlock with imei-check? What is your model ID ARTExxxx ?
Yes i did. My Model ID is ARTE100
Hmm, but the steps described above are necessary to follow only if your model is Orbit (ARTE200). If you have HTC P3300 or Dopod p800W or Artemis or MDA compact 3, then you don't need to do it this way. The only thing you need to do is to unlock with Imei-check. If it still doesnt work, contact their help desk.
Ok i see, very strange indeed. I did the unlock with the stuff from Imei-check but i still get the message ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID . If i try the steps from your post #1 , i get the described error obove. I'll try to contact the guys from imei-check, i hope they can help me
Hi Kleine Maus, I read with great joy that you succeeded and I would like to feel the same way.... Could you kindly reply to me and give me some detailed instructions to follow? Hopefully this will work for my HTC P3300....Thanks in advance.... I really appreciate it. Best SiperX

Can't get into bootloader / no screen

Hello
I think I have a compete dead HTC Touch ELF here. Someone I know tried to flash it but he bricked it, so I decided to try some things out. He already bought a new cellphone so if I can revive this device I can use it.
Now the problem is it doesn't respond to anything. When I try to reset (Camera button + reset button) nothing happens at all.
When I connect it to the PC (using USB) and I reset it find a device called "PocketPC USB Sync" (Windows 7), but still no screen
So I tried various things from the stickies but nothings seems to make the screen function again.
Could anyone help me further?
Thanks!
I have now discovered something. If I connect to USB with no battery, do a hard reset and insert the battery, an orange led turns on.
with any luckthis is what i am looking at making a guide to fix. I have one in the same state.
Theres not alot that may help, but it may be worth looking at the recover your elf thread. Should be in the rom section. May be something there to try. You may find this thread gets closed as you're not meant to post a thread per each phone though.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I've already tried different things out those stickies, except that Goldcard since I'm currently unable to do the first step.
I'm sorry for opening a thread than, I'm new here and my only intention is trying to get this cellphone back to work!
Edit: I think the screen/screen controller is broken. I managed to install an original ROM from the HTC website. Now sometimes it does those Windows Mobile Alert sounds.

open it up and check that the ribbon to the lcd is attached/ damaged, i think the lcds go for about £15-20 at the moment. They're real easy to change, just be careful on the latch at the back.
Could the no screen be the result of something going wrong when flashed?

i'm not an expert when it comes to that, but i'd guess its highly unlikely. It could be worth checking ribbon etc first, rule that part of hardware? Do you have a second elf? Could try that lcd with it if you do and don't mind opening them.
I removed the screen and placed it again (checking the ribbon). Still not working.
I do not have another ELF to test the screen.
When I try flashing again it seems its unable to get the old version number ("Ancienne version" in the picture). Is this normal?

As you can pull the device info and flash stuff, it doesn't sound like it is dead... Have you tried running MyMobiler to see if that can connect to your device so that you can see what would be on it - Will help decide if it is dead. It will prompt to install on your device though, so you will need to guess and press the left softkey after running the exe on your pc.
If you have flashed a new firmware onto it though, you would probably need to realign - May be able to your msp_remotealignment for that - Not sure.
When I try the Remote Screen Alignment and I press "Skip" it gives this error message:
"An error occurred while trying to configure the remote device. Please reinstall Remote Screen Alignment"
MyMobiler doesn't want to connect, but it also says "Running on your mobile" and sometimes it pops out "Connected", but still doesn't work.
Hey CTWA, did you manage to fix your problem? Did you get a new lcd screen?

No I didn't had the time to go look for a new screen yet. I'm not sure if I will either.
Hmm, does that mean you no longer are using/wanting your device? (I'm still after one to test JTAG on!) If you want to sell, let me know.
Sorry to change the subject slightly, but I otherwise hope you do manage to
Since the device still isn't technically mine, I cant just sell it. I'll ask my mate about it!
