I've been running the Sprint ROM with the Alltel radio for a couple of days now (since SSPL came out), and haven't noticed much of a difference...

How do you pull just the radio flash out? I knew how to do it on my 6700 but not the mogul...
Never mind I found it.....

I may have to retract that statement - don't know if it's the network or the radio update, but my data speeds were significantly better last night while on the outskirts of coverage...

Found it where? Can you please post how you flashed the Alltel Radio on the Mogul without flashing the whole ROM? I don't want to do a hard reset.

What kind of speeds? I'm on the original rom/radio and get around 1049kb/s with the dslreports mobile speed test. Without Rev.A I don't see it getting any faster than that...

I will post a file with just the radio rom for you and even give you the step by step instructions.... but just to make sure, you have flashed olipro's hard-spl, correct?

No, because that thing requires you to lose all the data on your phone. I just did an SPB Full Backup, but I don't feel like restoring everything on my phone now just for this.

Sorry for the double post..

Flashing olipro’s hard spl will not require you to do a hard reset and will not erase all of your data.
First thing’s first. Go and get the hard-spl file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332381
sync your device with your computer via activesync and run the titanunlocker.exe you just downloaded. Complete EVERY STEP. Make sure you when you get to the screen that states:
Current information about your PDA Phone:
Image Version: [this will be blank & that’s fine]
Select from below:
(button)UPDATE : Update the current ROM Version
Click the UPDATE BUTTON
Now it should say on your computer:
Current information about your PDA Phone:
From:
Image Version: [this will be blank & that’s fine]
To:
Image Version: Titan-Hard-SPL
Click NEXT and finish up the rom update utility. Once it’s completed you’re likely to be stuck at the bootloader screen. Performing a standard soft reset (soft boot) will not work, yet…
Now, download the file I’ve attached called mtty.zip and unpack it to your desktop. Before you can use the mtty.exe file successfully you will need to open activesync on your computer and disable the usb connection. The easiest way to do this is by right-clicking on the activesync icon in your system tray of your desktop and selecting “Connection Settings…”. Then un-check the second box “Allow USB Connections”. Click OK and then click close out of activesync.
Now go to the program you just downloaded and unpacked to your desktop and double click on the mtty.exe
Once it opens, change the “Port:” to USB (tip: it’s the last one in the list). Then click OK. You should now have a Large Grey Window open on your desktop with a white windows inside of it.
Press the ENTER key on your keyboard two times and then type the following:
Set 16 0
And hit enter
Now, unplug your phone and press the soft-reset button and it should reboot and all your information will still be there.
If you’ve done everything correctly, you have now flashed to the olipro spl and we can start on the radio rom.
RADIO ROM:
Start by opening activesync on your desktop and changing the connection settings back to “Allow USB Connections” (if you’re not sure how to do this, refer to the earlier explanation of how to disable the USB). Once you’ve changed the connection settings back to “Allow USB Connections” plug your device back into your USB cord and it should activesync like normal.
Now, download the Radio.zip file I attached below and unpack it to your desktop.
Before we can flash the radio to your phone, you will first need a ROM update utility. Well, you already have one.
Run the TitanUnlocker.exe file again (the one you used to flash the olipro’s hard-spl earlier). This time, don’t complete every step. After the initial “DISCLAIMER” screen pops up and you click yes, you will see the screen that says “Unlock” on it. Click unlock and you’re device will be place back in bootloader mode. NOW STOP! Don’t continue on with anything else yet.
Click on “My Computer” on your desktop. Select “Local Disk C:”. You will see a file called “TempTtn”. Right click this folder and select “copy” and then go paste a copy of the folder on your desktop.
Now, go back to the TitanUnlocker.exe that is still running on your computer and close it. You may get an error on the computer, just close out and ignore it.
Now take the file that you downloaded and extracted from the RADIO.zip I’ve attached and place it in the “TempTtn” folder you’ve just pasted on your desktop. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the file already in the folder. Click YES.
Now, your phone should still be in bootloader mode and attached to the USB.
Open the TempTtn folder on your desktop and run the RomUpdateUtility.exe
Continue through each screen and when you get to the screen with the button that says “Update”, click it. The screen should now say
From:
Image Version: [this will be blank & that’s fine]
To:
Image Version: 1.40RadioRom
Click next and continue the flashing processes. Once the flash completes, unplug the USB cable and press the soft reset key. If you’re stuck in bootloader, run the mtty.exe tool like we did earlier and then soft reset and you’re done.
Congratulations, you’re radio has now been flashed to 1.40 and all of your data should still be on your phone.
EDIT: I keep getting errors when trying to upload the radio.zip file to the xda site. You can download the Radio.zip file from here:

I am also getting some better numbers.
Before the update roughly ~580kbs top
After Alltel Flash (full flash) - 1408kbs top.
Not all are that fast obviously, but that was the highest so far, and I've had several 800's. Whether or not it's do to the radio being better, getting better reception, or just getting on the line when no one else was downloading / surfing who knows, but I have noticed it is better.

Yep, that definitely screwed up my phone. I'm stuck at the colored gradient page now and can't connect to it with my computer. Oh well.

follow the instructions on how to use the mtty.exe tool.... this WILL FIX IT WHEN STUCK AT THE BOOTLOADER.
I outlined this in the instructions...
1. open activesync and click on the "File" pull-down menu.
2. select "Connection Settings"
3. Uncheck the 2nd box "allow USB connections".
4. close activesync.
5. attach phone to usb
6. run the mtty.exe program
7. select "USB" as the PORT: and click OK
8. press the ENTER key on your key board 1 or 2 times
9. type the following exactly
set 16 0
then press ENTER again
10. unplug the phone from the USB
11. press the soft-reset button with the stylus.
12. YOU'RE DONE! PHONE SHOULD REBOOT!

Horrible Results
After spending hours trying to get this to flash properly, my phone couldn't perform any worse. There is no change in my signal, running at around -85db in my house but my internet maxes out at 300kb and takes forever to do ANYTHING.
I am very disappointed to find this to be the case.

Thanks, I can follow directions, that didn't fix it. It wouldn't connect to the software. I ended up going home and doing a recovery with the stock firmware.
Oh, but I'm trying it again of course. Already lost everything now, might as well. I'm just gonna try flashing the entire Alltel firmware this time.

Reflashed the entire Alltel ROM onto my Mogul and it works just fine. I'll need to get it loaded back up to where I had it before before I can really tell if it's a big improvement.

Glad it all worked out for you in the end... My guess is that the mtty.exe wouldn't connect to the phone with the USB port due to activesync. Occasionally, even after setting my connection settings in activesync to not allow usb connections, mtty won't connect. a quick reboot of the desktop computer fixed it
later

Well, I'm also on Vista, so throw that in as one more wrench in the system. I never got mtty to work. I just flash HardSPL then used the Alltel ROM package to install their ROM. Worked well enough, I was about ready to clean out the phone anyway. My contacts are always backed up on my computer and my important files on my storage card, so no big deal.
Hey, how bout them them Sooners? (Now I get it, you sabotaged my phone haha)

Pls Help :(( My Gene cannot open only swovs black screen

Guys I was updating my Old Gene to vanilamanila
but suddenly error 270 occured and my device reset itself and didnt opened anymore.
how can I fix it???
try to upgrade your SPL
hey its by KRAZY ABOUT TECHNOLOGY {senior member XDA} you can find the whole thread
The Step By Step Guide
The Step By Step Guide
CAUTION: DO NOT UPDATE ROM OF A PHONE THAT IS SIM LOCKED. THE RESULTS ARE UNKNOWN BUT MOST OF THE TIMES IT PREVENTS YOU FROM USING THE PHONE ANY FURTHUR!!
If you like to backup your existing rom first, follow this guide by Ankit360 to do it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=20
Step 1: Download the Tools
-------------------------------
Download the tools zip file from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/81084740...ing_Tools.html
Its a self extracting file, just start it and give a path and it will unzip all the files in your chosen folder. Inside the extracted folder you will find these things:
1. SPL Updater : Inside it there are 2 folders, Olipro and Orefkov. These contain the two SPL patchers that we need to use.
2. ROM Update Utility : This contains the ROM update utility we will need to flash a ROM. Unzip it into a folder.
3. USBDriver4ActiveSyncVista : This contains a special driver for Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista that you need to use to successfully update your ROM. Unzip it in a folder too.
4. Download a ROM appropriate for your device: Which one is appropriate, you'll only know after updating your SPL. So do this step after that. But in any case, here is a link to a good ROM, created by me, which is available for both new and old gene:
Sumit's Pro Users ROM (WM 6.1, for new and old gene)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467796
Step 2: Preparing your phone
--------------------------------
1. Copy the file gene_hspl.exe from the SPL Updater\Olipro folder that you got in step 1 to the phone memory.
2. First, on your phone, Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Here, uncheck the checkbox : enable advance nerwork functionality. Click OK. Disconnect and Reconnect the USB cable to your pc.
Step 3: Prepare your Computer
--------------------------------
XP Users
----------
There is not much you need to do. Just open task manager and kill the Active Sync executable from the processes tab. Its named as wcescomm.exe.
Vista Users
-------------
You need to take these steps :
1. Go to desktop, right click Computer, and select Manage. Go to Device Manager. Now under the section Mobile Devices, Double Click : Smartphone USB Sync.
2. On the Drivers tab, click "Update Driver..." button. On next screen click : "Browse my computer for driver software".
3. Click : "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computers". Click "Have Disk.." on next screen. Click "Browse..." and go to the folder extracted in step 1. There, go to USBDriverforActiveSyncVista folder. Here select the file "wceusbsh.inf" and click OK.
4. Click Next and finish the wizard.
Step 4: Use the Olipro method first.
-----------------------------------------
Open File manager on your phone. Go to the location on phone memory where you saved gene_hspl.exe. Tap on it to run it. Your phone will restart after a short pause.
Now there are two chances :
a) If its done alright, you'll see SPL 1.10.Olip on your boot screen and your phone will boot just fine. And it confirms that you have an old gene. You do not need to do Step5. Proceed to Step 6.
b) If it doesn't boots, and only green and red keys blink, Don't worry. Your phone is bricked but you'll get it back using orefkov's method in a minute. Proceed to next step. And this confirms that you have a new gene.
Step 5: Use the Orefkov Unlocker
------------------------------------
1. Remove the battery, SIM card and SD Card of your phone and press the Power key for 20 seconds to draw out any residual power from the phone.
2. Replace the battery but not the SIM and SD card, and don't start the phone yet. Press and hold the Camera button and then press the Power button or Soft Reset button. Phone will come to boot loader mode (tricolor screen) and SPL 1.10.Olip will be displayed.
3. Connect the USB cable. The text USB will appear on the bottom of the screen.
4. On PC, go to the folder Orefkov in the folder extracted in step 1 and run the Mtty1_42.exe. Press the button "USB" in the window that opened.
5. In the window that opened, type the following command (don't use copy paste please) and press enter:
Code:
set 32 1
You'll see a response from phone.
6. Type the following command BUT DON'T PRESS ENTER YET:
Code:
ls boot.bin
Note : that is small L and small s in that command, dont mistake it with I.
Now, hold down the Camera button on phone, and press the enter key on computer. After a while, the screen will become White. Continue pressing the Camera button for 10 more seconds.
7. Now release the camera button, close the MTTY program and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the same folder, not the one outside it. That one is for RAM flashing that we will use later. Check the boxes in each step and click Next Next and then at last Update. Let it finish the process. Your phone will restart.
8. Now on the splash screen you'll see the info with updated SPL version. The version of SPL will be 1.07.Oref.
Congrats! you have successfully patched your SPL.
Step 6: Flash the ROM
---------------------------
Now let the phone boot once and then shutdown it. Insert your SIM card, but not the SD card. Go to the PC and copy the ROM file (it must be names RUU_Signed.nbh. Rename it if it has some other name.) into the ROM Update Utility folder that is outside the Orefkov and SPL Patcher folder.
Now press and hold the camera button and start your phone to go into the Boot loader mode once again.
Now Run the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow her instructions. Please make sure that you are not running RomUpdateUtility inside the Orefkov folder in SPL Updater folder. You must use the one outside, in the RomUpdateUtility folder. Your phone will automatically go into bootloader mode and a progress bar will be displayed on both phone and PC. Once it completes, your phone will restart again and you'll get the phone with the brand new ROM.
Step 7 : Set your PC and Phone back to normal
------------------------------------------------
This step is only needed in case you are using Vista.
The driver we updated in Vista will not work for normal active sync operation. So you'll need to set it back to the original version. There are two ways to do that. Either, uninstall and reinstall the Windows Mobile Device Center Or Follow the same procedure gicen in Step 3 but instead on clicking the "Have Disk button", choose the driver from the list already given.
The driver that you need to install can be identified by have a newer version given in front of its name. Also, the newer driver's name includes "Microsoft Corporation" while the older one has only "Microsoft".
You can Put back your SD card now.
On your phone, again go to the Start > Settings > Connections > USB and check the checkbox there and click OK.
That's it! You are Done.

HTC HD2 Flashed Rom, Stuch on Htc Boot Screen

ITS A HTC HD2 NOT THE ORIGINAL
Ok I am a really big noob and need some help. I Flashed My rom using Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar, I extracted in and it completed 100% and loaded up perfectly to home screen. I didnt have my sim card in or Sd card so I took battery out and put my sim card and sd card back in. When I turned it back on it was stuck on the HTC screen. Just the Green HTC writing and white screen and thats it. I have read some forums that have had the same problem but i just dont get it. they say get into bootloader ( which i can do) and then flash with radio or something... I am uncertain how to do this. When I downloaded one of them Customruu or whatever it is and open it it says I have to connect through active sync which i cant do because I cant get my device to turn On... I really need some help but it needs to be explain to me like explaining to a handicap person.
thanks
Put into bootloader, not necessary to connect to Activesync as you can't in bootloader mode. Flash the radio the same way as you flashed the rom. put the radio.nbh file in a folder, rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh and copy a CustomRUU.exe in and flash.
You'll find radios and steps here.

hi had same thing myself just rename ruu_sined.nbh to leoing.nbh
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
where do I get the Customruu.exe from? What do you mean flash the radio same as the rom? how can i do that if i cant get connect to active sync? So does that mean I have to download Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar again? which radio file do I choose? I am so confused. Dont get annoyed its just i dont understand all this...
do NOT do it via SD card - flash the radio using activesync as mentioned in first reply. SD card is dodgy as hell and the quickest way to brick your phone for good
You can get CustomRRU from any ROM file - use the one from Miri's ROM
might've been worth reading the n00b flashing thread first as well as well as the first thread of Miri's ROM as all the info is on there...
how come you can't use activesync? what version of Windows you using?
in future i suggest you read the relevent threads and make sure you can flash a stock ROM before jumping into cooked ROMs...don't wanna brick an expensive phone do you?!?!

do NOT do it via SD card - flash the radio using activesync as mentioned in first reply. SD card is dodgy as hell and the quickest way to brick your phone for good
You can get CustomRRU from any ROM file - use the one from Miri's ROM
might've been worth reading the n00b flashing thread first as well as well as the first thread of Miri's ROM as all the info is on there...
how come you can't use activesync? what version of Windows you using?
in future i suggest you read the relevent threads and make sure you can flash a stock ROM before jumping into cooked ROMs...don't wanna brick an expensive phone do you?!?!

If you read my post I cannot get into the home screen... My Phone is stuck on the HTC boot up screen therefore making it impossible to use activesync... I did read all the Noob and Miri **** and it worked. I got to the new rom, but when i took the battery out and put sim card and sd card back in it is just stuck on the green htc screen and wont go past it...?????????

I can't use the SD card because I dont have the adapter thing to be able to hook it up to my comp only way i could access it was through my phone in hard drive mode. So basically i cant put any files on it without using the phone... Any other suggestions?

It just sounds like you've got the wrong radio on your device...
Turn off your phone, and turn it back on holding down just the down button. It will go into the bootloader screen (red green and blue one). You can then connect it to your PC and it should say 'USB' at the bottom instead of serial.
You can then run CustomRRU (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575524) with the radio file from this link:
http://megaupload.com/?d=HT7ZMDGH
and it should allow you to flash the radio and work...(put both the CustomRRU app and radio file in the same folder)

I am using a HTC LEO (HD2) with EnergyROM installed in it. Now I was tryin to flash updated version (11th march update), But I am having trouble with Activesync which somehows is from last few weeks. It connects & syncs the device too once USB is plugged in, But disconnects when I try to flash a rom using customRUU..It gets disconnected on the bootloader screen & activesync status turns to Disconnected from Connected..I pull out my battery & restart the device again. This is highly irritating & I wish if there's some other program instead of Activesync that could be used to flash a rom.
I tried doing it with bootloader screen, Turning the device off, then turning it on while pressing down the volume button, It sure goes into bootloader screen, but shows Serial at the bottom & not USB..So any ideas for what could be the alternative for people who face the same problem with activesync, Instead of wasting time to rectify this error, Its better to find some other alternative. My PC is running Windows XP 32 bit, I re-installed my windows when i had trouble almost a month back & activesync worked fine then, But just can't afford to do it every other week or so

hi had same thing myself just rename ruu_sined.nbh to leoing.nbh
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

It's not possible to connect to Activesync while being in the bootloader mode (The hd2 says "USB" on Windows without activesync too), so it has nothing to do with Active sync. Try another USB-Cable or use the sdcard to flash (see amma2005's Post, but as far as I know, there is no need to format the card again).

leo70 said:
Hi. New here. Done this magldr 1.12 and leo70 rom but my phone playing up badly after a lot of droid and 6 and other flashes. I can't install hardly any rom any more without it - ie: stock, wm6, android, wp7 rebooting constantly for no reason etc.
Done mtty and have bad blocks - about 16 and 16 reversed. done task 28 and task 28 55aa, and task 29 as read in other threads. tried everything with different radios, different nand droid. multiple wp7-hd2 installs. but still reboots.
Any thoughts? If go back to stock+spl1.66 and send back under warranty anyone know/think if they will fix it and/or replace it? they still have old sealed replacement hd2 stock or boards much? do they do diagnostics and look at bad blocks properly on warranty return? Even on stock-rom and stock-spl still does this reboot although not as much. Worried that stock-rom wm6 will "work" too well and they won't check blocks. What about task2a? etc? Any way to install wp7/magldr and partition right so no bad blocks counted in?
Thanks very much.
Will pay for fix that works - $.

I am stuck on DFT boot screen after hspl, htc, magldr- for windows phone 7 on hd2. Sometimes get thru to windows phone 7. but generally reboots. Done spl back to stock and leoimg on sd back to stock and tried task28s, 29s, etc but just reboots constantly and randomly.
Any thoughts here? What is warranty process? DO they replace at all with NEW? or new BOARDS/RAM? Gone back to 1.66 spl and sent in for repairs. because - the stupid recommended Romupdateutility HTC stock rom 'upgrade' did this damage.
and yes, was Windows Phone 7 and activated with marketplace & xbox/live.

Did you check the battery pins ? Sometimes they do get bent out of alignment and simply pushing them back into place gently does the trick.

[Q] Bricked after attempting to upgrade to 2.3.5... HELP PLEASE

Hello, I am a newbie Android user and I have been exploring the greatness of the OS for few days now.
Just now I tried to update my firmware to 2.3.5 and followed instruction from a non-xda developer site and little did I know, it messed up my phone big time.
While I was loading all the files (CSC, tar, modem, etc), and I should've known better when the site told me to check the "re partition" box, but I was stupid enough to go along with it.
So Odin got stuck at re-writing the modem or something like that and I had to pull out the battery from the phone.
Now the phone turns on only in recovery mode and none of the recovery choices work, if I choose one it just shows a little green android with white bordered triangle with an orange exclamation mark in the middle.
I can still access the download mode by using conventional button pressing method, but my phone is NO LONGER RECOGNIZED through the USB so I cannot flash the old stock firmware...
Is there a fix for this? If anyone can help me resolve this issue I am willing to compensate very well in return...
Thank you so much for reading my convoluted troubled story, and I really hope to find some resolution in your wisdom.

i dont want to advice you wrongly but you say you can get into download mode right? if it was my phone i would try and flash again but this time using the proper way to do it....but its down to you my friend i dont want to say do it and it gets worse..
EDIT: apologies i just saw that your usb is not recognised...do you have kies on the background when you flash with odin?
Check this unbricker
android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.

Ah I see. Could you please help me understand what you mean by "open keyboard?" I just don't see how I could open keyboard on my SGS2 when it isn't recognized by my computer... If you could clarify what you mean by that it will be really appreciated!
So from your information provided, you have a stock recovery and your phone is semi-bricked. You can still boot and your computer won't recognize your phone.
Do you have a jig? What firmware did you flash? You could use a jig to reset the flash counter on the phone and return it for warranty saying that Kies messed up while upgrading firmware. If you've flashed the KI3 with the new bootloader then the jig won't be able to clear the flash counter.
EDIT: Maybe an experienced senior member might come and look at this thread and provide some other solution. Do wait!
EDIT2: Try reinstalling Kies and the drivers. Don't give up just yet!

I don't think that the guide he posted is particularly for galaxy s2 because he also mentioned a trackball...
but if you can go the settings he mentioned you might find something and lead you.
And if you decide to bring the phone to samsung you might want to have a read at Intratechs Official firmware
thread in (Original Android Development)there you can find a bootloader that you can flash so you can use the jig to reset the counter
edit: wow I also failed to read that your computer can't recognise your phone
anymore....
Have you tried to delete the samsung drivers when you go to
your hardware settings?? and let windows find it's drivers again?
Not sure if this will help. I read somewhere someone else with their PC not really recognizing the phone. Someone else advised to unplug the phone and remove the battery then connect to PC insert battery and put it into download mode.
I could be wrong with the method. Its just from my memory.
Also this may make no difference but maybe removing the sim and SD card. Someone will probably call me stupid for suggesting that though.
I wouldn't try that unbrick method mate. That looks like it is an unroot for an old phone..possible the G1 (AKA HTC Dream).
Thanks for all the help... I have been trying to uninstall the driver and reinstall it but no luck. If I could just get the phone to be recognized I think I will be fine, but I just don't know what to do
Thank you for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!
EDIT: this is the guide I used that messed up my phone.. http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/
EDIT: Tried to reinstall KIES, no luck. It's like there's nothing on the other side of the USB cord... Not even a sound when I plug the phone in...
If it had been via XDA the instructions are do not do what they are saying .
In Odin Select Re-Partition , Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
In Odin select these files
For PIT select u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
BIG BIG NO to the above .
As usual some stuff ripped from XDA and some from elsewhere .
My suggestion would be one buy USB jig it hopefully will clear the rom counter and enter download mode .
two in recovery mode go to mounts and storage and format cache data dalvik system and sd card .
Clean phone with nothing on it .Flash stock firmware .

Thanks, I tried to do this but unfortunately the problem persists... What do you think the root of the problem is? I just dont' get it why it won't be recognized anymore.. I feel like I could easily get it to work if I could just get it to become recognized to flash stock firmware....
EDIT: JJE, I would turn it into the service place but I have custom rom count of 4 And I don't have any USB jigs to work with either.... I am still within the 15 days of the phone purchase day, would they be willing to swap my phone?

[Guide] How to Downgrade, install RSPL/HSPL and install a custom ROM TUTORIAL

Ive opened this thread coz many people are finding my tutorial usefull
so here goes and if it helps let me know and give me a thanks
Hi i was new to all this and installed dynamics v2.0 fully unlocked rom the other day and this is how i went about it
download this
RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.24.061.35_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/48117282/file.html
this is a load your phone back to 1.24
to install it i did this
turn phone off hold down volume down and turn phone on you should go to the bootloader screen then plug in your usb cable to the pc,
then on the white line at the bottom on phone screen should say usb instead of serial but maybe it will need to install some drivers cant remember 100%
when it is ready open that file and click the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps in that then you will have your phone back to 1.24
next you can follow this post here and download the attachment at the bottom named DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1.rar this what u need for this step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
basically this is the install procedure u may need to install active sync (XP) or windows mobile device center (vista and 7) but i did not have to my phone automatically did this
DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH allows you to load RSPL on the device:
1. Extract ALL files from RAR archive.
2. Run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH (with administrative rights to access USB)
3. Mindfully reads information text. Press “Next” button.
4. Reset your device and hold “Volume Down” button during reset to enter OSPL mode.
5. Connect your device to PC via USB cable.

7. Install drivers if required.
8. Make sure device show “USB” at the bottom instead of “Serial”.
9. Press “Next” button in the wizard. It should detect your phone.
10. If you are using WCEUSBHS driver under Windows Vista/7 (for MTTY or MAGLDR TTY for example), you should apply “Windows XP compatible mode” in the properties of EXE file to get connection.
11. After successful connection it should show device codename and allows to choose installed OSPL version.
12. You should look at the screen and select OSPL version in drop down list box. You need do this because it’s not possible to detect installed version via USB.
If your current SPL version doesn't present in the list, you can choose nearest version,
BUT ONLY IF IT HAS SAME FIRST NUMBER!!
Example: You have 4.XX on the device. Do NOT choose 1.XX 2.XX 3.XX.
13. Press “Next”. Wait until comes final page.
14. Read and close window
15. Look at the device – it must reboot to RSPL.
16. If you see RSPLX.Y.Z and “CotullaRSPL” on the screen – the task done! Otherwise, please report in this thread about your problems.
17. Put some feedback in this thread for community and developers.
Installing HSPL
DFT_HSPL_WP7FG1_INSTALL allows you to install HSPL on the device:
1. Launch RSPL on the device like described above.
2. Be sure that you close RSPL wizard window.
3. Run DFT_HSPL_WP7FG1_INSTALL.exe (with administrative rights to access USB)
4. Mindfully reads information text. Press “Next” button.
5. Proper drivers already must be installed in RSPL step.
6. Press “Next” button in the wizard. It should detect your phone.
7. If you are using WCEUSBHS driver under Windows Vista/7 (for MTTY or MAGLDR TTY for example), you should apply “Windows XP compatible mode” in the properties of EXE file to get connection.
8. After successful connection it should show device codename and allows to choose HSPL or OSPL version to install. OSPL means you install stock SPL back.
9. Check device codename, if something wrong turn off computer and run to the nearest forest. Grab some water with yourself.
10. Press “Next”. Wait until comes final page.
11. Device will reboot and start to boot OS.
12. Reset it and enter SPL mode again. Be sure there HSPLX.Y.Z and “CotullaHSPL” appear.
13. Put some feedback in this thread for community and developers.

hi u don't need to worry about mobile device center this never picked up my phone either until I installed the custom rom
Don't ask why I've no idea
So what's happening when you press volume down and power you are seeing the multicolored bootloader screen right?
If so I don't know why the rom won't install for you
Maybe I've heard your firmware is at .707 if so you need y cables and its harder to downgrade your sol
tell me the firmware version please and ill try help u its in settings then about then advance on your phone if I remember
Oh also do not extract the 1.24 from the .rar file run everything from there
This is why ur getting that error I think

you dont need to select a option just load ROMUpdateUtility.exe
ive just downlaoded and reinstalled the rom myself to try see what u mean and i dont get this option
when you go to bootloader screen on your phone and it says usb open the rom file and click ROMUpdateUtility.exe
now dont open active sync or mobile tools as it says on the program information
just click the tick boxes and continue through the process
maybe try download the rom again found this
ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN
ERROR [210] : FILE READ
These error messages indicate that RUU lacks certain important files and cannot continue with the update. Please get the complete RUU package again.
but like i sed i have downloaded the file myself and it is working for me without any problems

Thanks for the help.
My firmware is 2250.21.40600.61,hope I don't need y cables for this version..
I see the multi coloured screen, and once plugged in to my pc it says usb at the bottom..
Strangely the 1.24 rom update works sometimes and not others, can you remember when you do done it, did it tell you want version currently on? because it didn't for me, I pressed next until update screen and was on 0% for bout 6-7 mins, my phone also displayed the same, how long did it take roughly
As regards to the Dynamics rom update.exe ( I opened with no phone attached ) It says welcome to the advanced rom update utility for Htc Mozart below that are, two ruu options.. regular (this is default) and below is custom I was thinking or using logic that I don't think i have hehe.. that the custom would be the option? or leave it
I really appreciate your help on this, I have installed many custom rom on android,but this windows phone grr annoying but I wont give up.

lol np mate ill try help as best i can
right i understand your bit now about the dynamics rom u need to select regular on this part
custom i think would be if u want to edit it or some **** but i have no idea so u use regular mate because this is the actual rom file made but remember u must downgrade and load rspl and hspl onto your phone before doing this step
right my firmware is 2250.21.51301.401 but i dont know if this changes on installation of the downgrade and adding the custom rom like i sed im a complete noob with this myself but all went smoothly for me thats why i made the tutorial
and no mate my phone took about 5-10 mins to install the 1.24 orange rom
have u tried a hard reset first and then see if it helps with the installation
ill search around for your firmware and see if there has been issues
edit..........................................
did a search on the forums and your firmware comes up with nothing :/ did a google and only shows this thread did you type the numbers correctly?
also you mean that the rom update works sometimes and not others?
if it works once it should install it mate np's
When you load you phone into bootloader the multicoloured screen can you please type here what u see mainly the top letters and numbers

Soft-Bricked LG GT540 Optimus

Hello. I've tried using multiple ROMs in my rooted phone with KDZ Updater, and I guess that one of the updates hanged, or maybe it was something else... I really don't know. What I do know is that my phone currently isn't able to enter recovery mode, and is also not showing any boot logos (neither 'LG' nor 'Android').
I did see some threads about this, one of them talking about starting in Download Mode and using KDZ in CS_Emergency mode with some French ROM. Well, I tried that and as soon as I press "Launch software upgrade" the program freezes until I plug my phone off the PC.
I feel as if something was stuck in my throat and the only way to get it out is by completing this... so any help will be greatly appreciated!
PS: All this happened in the process of trying to install Cyanogen Mod 10.1 (which I did not try yet).

Need to make sure to get the right firmware, DLL file, and make sure you have the right port set on the program.

Thanks for the reply!
I appreciate the info, and I'll be checking what you've said. All the links in that thread are inaccessible because Fileserve only lets you download what you upload. Anyway, I'm curious as to what this "DLL" file does on a smartphone... why do I need these things? I never heard of them being mentioned anywhere.
I'll start educating myself ASAP. Meanwhile, thank you very much (and by the way, if it's of help to anyone, my phone is a GT540g from Personal, Argentina.
You're welcome. Sorry, didn't check to see if the files were still there and most every other site just had reposts of the fileserve links. However, finally found what you need here:
http://files-gsm.ru/lg flesh/GT540gAT-00-V20a-722-34-DEC-28-2010+0.dz.zip
I found this dll for your phone but not sure if it works with the firmware you have for that version:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9v9e78xronadm0c/GT540g_100506_MP.dll
"A dynamic-link library (DLL) file is an executable file that allows programs to share code and other resources necessary to perform particular tasks..."
Basically it ties together a few things in Windows to let the flash tool work for your specific device is my understanding. But they have to be specific to the phone or it won't run once it checks the build.prop of the phone vs the firmware you're trying to install.
Keep in mind, I do not have this phone and have no way to test if they will or won't work so just like any other mod or upgrade - you do so at your own risk.
Thanks, but...
First of all, I'm very sorry not to have replied before, but I've been busy. Anyway!
Thanks, I appreciate the links, but I don't understand where to put the .dll file in my phone. I know you'd think I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to use Google, but I actually did search beforehand. I simply don't get where to put it.
Also, if it's worth the shot, I just noticed that I should disable the "Modem" that activates when I plug my phone in. The problem is, KDZ just does this simple log [attached] and states "===FINISHED===" (Note that I have 2 Modems listed in my device manager [attached screenshot])
Solution GT540
Thanks for your help everyone, I came to a solution after a full year lol. Here's my enlightenment, from another Thread:
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.

Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).

THANK YOU XDA!
