Hello,
i have a brand Vodafone IT Titan with:
OS: 7.10.8107.79
firmware: 166.2200.20501.165
radio: 16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23U
bootloader: 2.5.160015.3(137079)
i wanted to upload the 2.05 eu rom so i have downloaded this rom: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1ybq4xqcazyp/n/IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401 and obtained the file named 'IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh' (yes it has the apex included in the file, vary strange for me) that is 419.982 KB
i have renamed the file in ETERIMG.nbh.
i have downloaded goldcardtool and goldcard.img.
i have formatted the microSD in fat32.
i have copied ETERIMg.nbh in the microSD.
i have patched the microSD with goldcardtool and goldcard.img
i have connected the Y usb cable to the Titan, the microSD card reader and the PC.
i have booted the Titan in USB HOST mode but it always show me "Entering USB Mode". Upload does not begin at all.
So, what am i doing wrong ???
Please guys help me!!!!

Looks likes that your Y cable is fine, with your phone showing "entering usb mode". This leaves your gold card as possibly the main culprit. In other threads, some had the same issue and managed to flash their phone by trying other type of microsd card and card reader. I used a kingston 2gb microsd card and multicard reader. I managed to debrand my att titan to european 2.05 rom (see the thread I started on this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693334&page=2)
Thanks for the replay.
I don't know if the cable is ok. I bought it on ebay:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/260747604735?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It is a normal Y cable used for external HardDisk when a single usb port is not enought for powering the device.
I connected the miniUSB port to my card reader.
I connected the dataUSB port to my phone (using a famale-famale adapter)
I connected the powerUSB port to my pc.
The strange thing is that when i plug the phone (phone is already turned on)
then the phone fell i had connecet it and the led become red.
Also the led on the card reader is Turned on, meaning that it is turned on.
But when i restar the phone and push vol- and camera going in USB Host mode,
the led on the card reader is desapeared, so i thing it is turned off.
The phone is now waiting in USB Host mode.
So i disconnect and reconnect the power usb cablo form the pc, and so the card reader turned on again. But the upload does not begin.
Do you thing that there is something strange ?
may be i miss something on doing the gold card (wrong image, wrong name) or samething like that?
I have already tried with 4 different memory card but (512MB MMC, 1GB microSD, 8 GB microSD and 1GB SD card) the result is the same.
I have a question, after downloading the
'IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh'
file
I have to extract RUU_Sigbned.nbh and rename it in ETERIMG.NBH
or jusy keep the whole file and rename it in ETERIMG.NBH ???
If i have to exctract RUU_Signed, how can i do that??
I have the same question as nyonik.
After getting to the USB Mode, I plug in the phone the card reader turns on and off and it goes straight back to ther SPL screen and freezes there. When I unplug the device the word "serial" appears on the screen. I've havent been able to find someone on here describing a similiar scenerio. I've tried several different types of media and they all do the same thing.
@nyonik- you copy the euro rom 2.05 to microsdcard rename it to ETERIMG.nbh then make it a goldcard.
@jonesk001- that also happened to me, what u need to do when it goes back to spl mode, unplugged phone "serial" appears, then restart phone by pressing power button for few secs when it start to boot hold down vol- and camera buttons this will boot ur phone to "usb mode" screen, at this point plug it back to Y cable. Your phone should proceed with flashing. If it again kick back to spl mode repeat the steps i described. Goodluck.

Thanks Habnzrot for tips. Finally got everything to work. Amazing enough I used WinXP to format and make the gold card instead on Win7 and it worked, using the same setup that was previously didn't work.

StarTrek SD Card flashing
It is necessary to format your microsd card to FAT32 filesystem!
# Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it in fat32 from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
# Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / ~MacOS use [cabextract | http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php].
# Rename the .NBH file to *STARIMG.nbh* and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
# With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and Camera button at the same time).
# You should see the screen with SD Card searching, then confirm flashing on screen by pressing Softkey.
# Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 25 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
~SuperCID devices are able to flash any official NBH image using this method.
Yes it works ... but ... edit NBH files doesnt work too with this methode!!!
edit NBH files doesn't work at all. Because of there is no known method to create properly signed NBH for StarTrek.
i think that 1024 is right signature size, but it is incorrectly signes with any known nbh creating tool
Qtek 8500 dead
I tried to use RUU_STAR100_3.6.252.1_02.67.30_QtekNOR_Ship.exe to upgrade to the latest ROM, but upgrade process was interrupted (reported a communication error about 40% into the process); I was not able to recover via the tool.
The phone only shows the three colour bootloader screen now, with IPL and SPL 3.06.0000.
I tried the SD upgrade method described on this page, but while the phone during power-on process very briefly shows a white screen with "searching for SD card", it only comes back on the 3 colour screen and remains "dead".
Any tips on how I can revive the phone?
when your phone in tri-colour (bootloader) mode, reconnect it to PC, and run upgrade via RUU_STAR100_3.6.252.1_02.67.30_QtekNOR_Ship.exe again
PS. You phone isn't dead)
Qtek 8500 still dead
Thanks for the quick reply Erofish.
I tried the suggested step already, but it fails because the ActiveSync no longer gets established. When I plug in the USB cable in the phone, the word "USB" appears in the bottom-left corner of the three-colour bootloader screen, but the PC doesn't seem to recognise the fact that the phone has connected. The ActiveSync icon stays grey and the RUU_STAR....exe tool reports an "Error 260", indicating it cannot connect to the phone.
I did try another PC also, but no change, so I fear it seems to be a problem with the phone rather than the USB port, ActiveSync or so.
I was hoping that the SD Card flashing would be the alternative solution, but as mentioned above, I can't get that to work
I am now thinking I may have missed something in the process... I formatted the SD Card using FAT32, I copied the .nbh file and renamed it to STARIMG.nbh. I am getting the "searching for SD card" message briefly, but never get to the point where I am asked to confirm the upgrade; the screen just goes to/stays in 3 colour mode.
Whichever method may be best, but any ideas to get the phone working again would be GREATLY appreciated!
Dtroll1, turn off AciveSync, kill the ActiveSync processes or just disable USB connections in Connection settings and try again.
Did as suggested by ronswens, but am again getting the message from the RUU_STAR...exe tool that it can't connect to the SmartPhone (error 260).
Did you name the nbh file STARIMG.nbh in FAT32 sd card? I have tried sd card flashing,when i do have nbh file but cant flash,it shows "Invalid Certificate", so i doubt the nbh file name was wrong.
When my phone dead, i pull off the battery,wait half minute,and the plug in the battery(if i dont do these,i cant go into 3-color), go into 3-color, plug usb cable,and just run RUU,then it will flash, during flashing, ActiveSync keeps gray untill flash over and system boot into WM5.
I saw lot of people said, if you dont get CID unlock,the phone will easily get dead when flashing, and the only way to solve this is to send to repair.
only official NBH files can be flashed via microsd card!
yes, as dtsme said, try to remove battery for minute, and plug it again. Turn on your phone in bootloader mode (hold Record and Camera buttons and press Red Button (power))
when your device will get in bootloader mode, run RUU for your device (if you have Qtek 8500, then use Qtek rom; if you have Cingular 3100/3125, then use Cingular rom; if you have Dopod S300, then use rom for it; e.t.c)
Thanks again. The NBH file I used is an official one.
In any case- I sent the phone back, so problem "solved" for now.
I have the exact same problem as Dtroll1 - locked in three color screen (ipl 3.06.0000, spl 3.06.0000), consistent error 260 when running an updater, and no effect from putting SK_QtekNOR_3.6.252.1_Ship.nbh on a MicroSD as STARIMG.NBH.
Any further ideas?
Can I do this on my O2 Neo?

Here is a link to the OEM QTEK 8500 ROM. IF you are stuck in bootloader, you need follow the SD flashing instructions exactly including case sensitive naming of the file STARIMG.nbh. Also check that your card is FAT32 formatted and verify the file name in a DOS window to ensure that windows has not doubled up the .nbh extension

I think most HTC phones allow you to flash your phone from the card in such a fashion - the thing you have to figure is what to name the file - the name you give it varies from device to device.
Hi
I've to flash my qtek8500 in SD mode because i've played with registry settings and the phons doesn't boot anymore. Could you tell me whioch buttons i have to press to get the bootloader invoked??? Which button is the camaera button and which is the record button???
StefanV3
read the wiki
Hi
Have found which key the camera button is. Its the key on the right side.
Reflashed it with the latest qtek rom and flashed it now back to WM6.0 .

I know this is a little too late... but it sounds like your SD card is too slow. For anyone else that has the same problem, make a small 100mb partition on the SD card and place your NBH file there. This will make it so that the bootloader sees the file before it moves on to the regular bootloader.

I just tried this trying to save a phone it did not work
When I turn on my phone using JUST the power button, it vibrates, and that's it. The screen doesn't turn, nor do any lights.
When I turn on the phone using the BL Screen (rainbow, POWER+Comm+Camera), it shows me:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CLPD-9
Then, when I plug it to my computer, it reads the device, and tells me its "WM 6.1.6965".
I want to be able to turn on my phone and let the OS boot normally, but nothing seems to work! I've tried flashing different ROMs and Radios, but they all seems to have either an "Image Error" or "They cannot find a device" on my computer.
I want to be able to use my phone, but I have no idea where to start. How did it get to this state?
I'm not sure.
PLEASE HELP ME. Much appreciated.
have you tried the sd card method. Where you rename the rom in the update called RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh and place it on the root of the sd card ( a fat 32 formatted non sdhc card) any small one will do as long as its big enough to hold the rom normally about 70-100mb so a 128mb or bigger card should work but nothing over 2gb card wise. All you do is put the file that you renamed onto the micro sd card then go into the boot loader screen of your phone via power+camera+reset it will briefly say serial then go to a screen prompting you to update follow what buttons to push to do the update via the on screen prompts, once done it will say update complete. It has been my best experience to take the battery out for 20-30sec when this screen comes up then replace the battery and boot via the power button. Hope this helps.
Oh I could have flamed you for not searching and provided you a link to one of the many forums on here already about the titan (ppc6800) but sometimes its just as easy to take 2 min to post what works as it is to digg up the proper forum via search results.
Thanks for the info.
However, I have searched the forums, and everyone seems to have a happy go lucky time when it comes to flashing, which would mean...that I'M not.
Nevertheless, I have tried the SD Card method, with the proper card (1 gig, FAT32, 1024), and when I put it in the Phone, it says "Loading...", then "NO IMAGE FILE!"
I don't know what's up with that. I've tried different custom and official ROMs, and each time I get that message.
put the USB earphone/ USB power plug into the phone and push the reset button
not to make you sound dumb but make sure that you put the RUU_signed.nbh file on there from the downloaded rom or official rom via looking @ the exe with winrar or similar software ... then rename it to TITAIMG.nbh and place on the card... i had similar problems but got past them via doing a full format of the sd card with these selected options 4kb sectors and fat 32 for the format and un-checking quick format once formatted that way the boot loader saw the image and i was able to flash.
I reformatted using the suggested parameters, and even so, it said "No Image File!"
I did rename the RUU.nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh, and even then.
That's why this is so frustrating for me. It makes no sense that this doesn't work.
Thanks.
i guess you need to search the forums for the program that un-bricks your phone seems that something is wrong and part of the phone is not working, however sense the computer sees the device you should be able to run one of the programs to bring it back.
on a side not try if you have one available another sd card some don't like to work with the boot loader but will still work fine with the phone as an sd card.
The file is on the card base directory and not in a folder right? If you place it in a folder it will not see it. I had to do the SD flash on my XV6800 because I screwed it up by not loading the Radio first.
I've been having some usb problems with my Hermes for a while now:
- it nearly always can't charge with standalone usb chargers now - it will only charge by connecting to computer.
- connection issues with WMDC 6.1. It connects at first but after a few minutes, the activesync connection is lost [it still charges though]. I have Vista ultimate x64. I've been using bluetooth to sync anyway.
I've just thought, oh well, I'm sure the problem will go away when I finally update my rom next time. But now I can't do this, because of this USB problem. The usb connection is lost [orange led light turns off] as soon as the flashing utlity puts the phone in bootloader mode [first time I tried this today, windows was installing a "htc usb sync" driver at this point...weird]. As a result of this I get an "update error" 284 and I have to reset battery and start all over.
Should I try activesync 4.5? A different vista x64 driver (can't find any), or a different OS? I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with my herme's USB port! Can't see why, I've looked after it well.
Thanks for your help! I don't want to be stuck in WM6.0 forever!
If you have an xp machine, you could try activesync 4.5. Does your usb port look okay as far as connections to the motherboard? No cracked solder joints?
Oh yeah...I managed to keep the usb connection in by holding it in place with my finger, rather nervously, while the rom updated!
I had a good look at the Kaiser forum where they're having problems with the usb port's weird htc shape, and loose connections...I think it's the same with my Hermes.
It still can't charge with regular chargers though. Only laptop.
Mate, you can use the sd card method to update your rom if you've flashed Hard SPL. MUCH SAFER than "holding it in place with my finger".... I believe that could be a way to bricksville...
I'm assuming, of course, you HAVE Hard SPL on your Hermes...
1. Format sd card fat32 and copy the .nbh file of the rom onto it. Rename it to "hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card into hermes & go to bootloader - OK button, power button and reset with stylus, hold in until tri-colour screen comes up.
3. Follow the prompts.
If it doesn't do anything then either you've not formatted the sd card fat32 or have renamed the .nbh file wrong. Make sure you have at least 50 % battery power and DON'T reset in the middle of a flash...
Easy as pie...
Cheers...

Thanks for that quick guide to SD card flashing! I've decided I'll do that method for the much riskier radio upgrade.
Yep, I've got Olipro 2.10. Cheers!
IGNORE BELOW I GOT IT RESOLVED. On the phone itself the female usb connector had 2 of the 5 "connectors" entangled with each other inside. I am going to be careful from now when I plug any usb cables in it
Hi All
I cannot seem to sync my phone using any USB cable anymore (ERROR [260]: CONNECTION). It charges fine, but the computer does not see the phone at all. I have tried different cables, different computers, but no luck. I have Actisync 4.5 installed. When I try to reinstall the ROM also (Power + OK button) I am getting "serial" showing at the bottom of the screen instead of "USB". Any ideas what is causing this? The phone is working great otherwise. Every single feature works except USB . Note Well: The phone is NOT stuck on BootLoader screen, it boots up fine.
Is it possible it's the USB connector on the phone is damaged? But as I said it does charge the phone when connected to the computer.
PS I also did a "clear storage" to default the phone back to the current ROM I have installed and also I have checked "usb to pc" enabled on the phone.

Thanks.
If you have this problem, try the SD card method....
(assuming the Hermes has Hard SPL v7 installed)
1. Format sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want on and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert SD card into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Assuming all things are right, follow prompts...
Cheers...

Hi Ultramag
Hmm, sorry it does not work for me, as previsouly discussed, it got me stuck on bootloader with 'Serial' below.
Hi,
I would very high appreciate if someone in this community could help me with the Hard-SPL upgrade problem. I read a lot of threads in this forum and in other forums. I tried to follow several solutions but I get stuck all time during the upgrade to hard spl 2.10 with an error 260.
I connected my mobile via USB cable. WMGC 6.1 is running on my PC --> synchronizing has finished. Then I started Ruuwraper on my vista PC --> after I answered yes to upgrade to hard-spl 2.10 --> on my mobile appeared enterBL.exe and was asking me if I should run it Y/N. Then I replied with yes --> afterwards it appeared the bootloader
IPL-SSPL by Desc
SPL-1.09ds
but then there is no reaction for about half a minute. Afterwards it appears on the PC "error 260" (I should check if the cable is connected via USB)
However I see that USB appears on the bootloader screen. In my opinion it should work, but didn't !
if I go into bootloader I read following :
IPL --> 1.01
SPL --> 1.04
IMG 1.23.707.4
My desktop OS --> vista 64
windows mobile center --> V6.1.6965
Can it be that I need a special USB cable for my HTC ?
Or ????
Thanks in advance for your help.
I know that there is a problem with using 64bit OS versions, so if you have another computer you can use that isn't 64bit to check whether it is that or not.
Good luck
Thanks for your fast reply.
I tried on my other computer (laptop installed windows XP SP3). However I failed with the same problem.
When i first tried to flash my device i had a problem of it not connecting to the boot loader, it seemed that every time the phone changed to boot loader the computer would no longer recognize it and it wouldn't be synced with the computer. i think i managed to get around this problem by putting my phone into boot loader (ok button + power + reset button) and then connecting it for some reason the computer would then recognize it and it would work. I cant remember what it was i was flashing it may have been hard-spl
Hope this helps, Good luck
Edit: I found this information on completely different forum that came from HTC about what to do
HTC's Answer: I was instructed to disconnect and soft-reset. Then I was instructed to go to Settings>System>Memory>Running programs and Stop All. Including Active Sync. We then reconnected the phone. Established a sync and ran the utility. Active Sync still goes away and you get the falling tone of a Disconnect. Ignore it and proceed as if everything is connected. Bang Zoom. 10 minutes later I'm loading software. *dance*

this is what is meant to happen as i flashed a new rom the other day on vista and windows had to find the device again and reconnect i think after this small pause it worked again.
Ok, I tried. Following result :
I see that Serial goes to USB but then no reaction. I can see on the WMDC 6.1 --> it shows still "not connected".
I found one article below and tried as well but it starts not automatecly from the bootloader too :
HERMIMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/hermes_sd_flashing.jpg
1. If you want to install any ROM (NBH) which is not supplied by your operator or the CID does not match then you will need to SuperCID your device. This can be easily done by installing HardSPL and should be the first thing done if doing any upgrading.
2. Empty (erase the contents) of your 2 gig or smaller non-SHDC MicroSD card (the Hermes bootloader does not support SDHC) from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work) make sure it's formated in FAT32 format. As a precaution you might want to check the MicroSD card for file errors. i.e (Properties->Tools->Error Checking)
3. Extract the .NBH file from your preferred ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
4. Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
5. With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Ok button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
6. You should see a screen similar to the one pictured on the left (What lines appear depends on what is included in the nbh. If the file doesn't include bootloader code, that line will not appear, and so on.) Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
7. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
8. After you get the confirmation that the upgrade is complete, softreset your device.
So you tried flashing using the sd card method and still no result?
yes
and now I tried your suggestion with stop running programs activsync and calender.
Also the same --> error 260
I would've hoped that one of the methods would work, i take it the device syncs up fine normally to device center and you can access all your files etc?
This is the thread i quoted from there is some more information about the problem i don't know whether it will help though.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=42389&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
yes I can synchronize and I can see all the file via vista explorer.
I take it your planning to flash a newer rom onto your hermes, are you running the stock rom that came with it at the moment?
I just ran the hard-spl ruuwrapper.exe on my computer with out my phone connected this gave me the 260 error so it is most probably something to do with the phone connecting whilst in boot loader mode, did you click yes to run any program that it asked you to on the phone?
I did read some where that resetting the pc might work but i dont know whether it will make a difference considering you've already tried it on another computer.
Good luck

Actually I bought the HTC in Taiwan (CHT is the brand on the front) in a shop. At the beginning there was a chinese OS and the seller in the shop changed it to the english version.
I just ran the hard-spl ruuwrapper.exe on my computer with out my phone connected this gave me the 260 error so it is most probably something to do with the phone connecting whilst in boot loader mode, did you click yes to run any program that it asked you to on the phone?
yes, it appered enterBL.exe on my mobile. Then I answered with Y.

yes, on my laptop (windows xp). The same problem -->error 260. There is only one difference between my desktop and my laptop. activsync (with windows xp) drops during using the program RUUWraper which WMDC 6.1 (with vista) does not.
Good luck

i dont really know what to suggest, what happened when you tried flashing it using the sd card method?
Tried already. Not working too.
program starts not automatically with .nbh file from the SD card when I went into bootloader.
you could try the sd card method again, following the instructions Here to the letter and see how it goes because that should bypass the problem of it not connecting and should work.

I tried again to flash via SD card but my mobile does not recognize the .nbh file. The mobile stays in bootloader mode and does nothing.
Edit :
maybe I made something wrong ? I used the .nbh file from the Hard-SPL. Is this ok ?
i have attached the .nbh file from hard-spl. renamed to what it is needed to be to work. reformat the memory card so that it is blank and in fat32 format, put this file on it and follow the rest of the steps.

Thanks. My SD card is already formatted with FAT32. Is it really necessary to format it again ? I deleted only the files on the SD card and tried it already but it did not work.
If yes to format FAT32 again, do you have also a program for FAT32 formating which is running on vista ?
I downloaded fat32format already but I have to find an adapter to put it into the PC to format. Or is there another possibility to format ?
From the PC I did not find a possibility to access to format directly on my mobile.
there is a formatter on vista but the memory card would have to be connected to the pc, when i brought my micro sd card it came with an adapter to an sd card so i can use it in a usb card reader or the one on the front of my tower.
other wise i dont know if you can format it this way whilst it is connected to the phone.

Ok thanks. I have to buy an adapter. Then try again.
ye im afraid so i cant think of any other ways that might get your device to flash, you could always wait to see if one of the more senior members replies although you may have to wait until tomorrow.
