"Warning to Universal Users !!! Do not upgrade to AKU2 if you have bootloader v0.56 on your device, DO NOT upgrade to an AKU2 or you will turn it into a paperweight!

To check your bootloader, hold the light key, power key and press the reset button. If it says v1.00 then you don't need to worry. If it says v0.56, you must not upgrade to AKU2. If you do, the only way to fix it is to flash back to a pre-AKU2 rom or upgrade your bootloader to v1.00 (which is currenty not possible publically).

How do I know this? Personal experience and a good friend with a lot of technical know-how."

Great... just ran the update on my XDA Exec (not sure about my bootloader version), after the phone rebooted during the first mins, I got an error msg on the PC.
Now the phone won't power up, not even show any light indications when charger plugged!
Damn!

I have the problem because i have this rom and spent a lot of time to try to flash the new AKU2 rom.

I sent a post HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47498)

but nobody answer :evil:

And HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46732)
Have some responses :D

And now what can I do to uprade my bootloader to 1.00 ?

[Asukal]

if you stack on Bootloader, possiblity of recover it by this post.

if stack on the SPlash Screen, seems to be no solution now.
My Exec also stucked Splash. Bootloader Ver.1.0

My Jasjar Bootloader Ver0.60 is still alive, sometimes stucked on Bootloader after flash ROM, but can escape with the tool on that link

so, i think,, just think and guess, V0.60 is better than Ver1.0.
Many guys had troubles in V1.0.

How to get 1.0 bootloader, i can not find the way yet.
my exec was got it when flash some ROM, but can not find wich.

also Buzz reported MTTY.exe Task 32 command can back up Bootloader and Flash, i tried it but it was said "no permission task" and can not.

I'm a newb, i saw the update for AKU2 ROM...but i dont know how to find out what version I have on my phone...
what is a "light key"

[mamaich]

here is another link to 1.01 bootloader
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JASJAR_BL1.01_RUU_V1.2.zip
I have not tried it.
HTC sais that you need to upgrade to it from 1.0 if you don't see text "Serial V1.0" on screen after entering bootloader. Though bootloader works fine even without this message.

I can confirm the freezing on bootscren is still there evern after ugradation to 1.01..don't know why...I guess a bad DOC...but if it is a bad DOC then why it accepts the flash?
