--------------------

UPDATE: Found a problem on SSPL where it will hang when flashing a full ROM with a new RUU due to the NBH buffer being smaller in SPL-0.92, I removed the link and will update Kaiser SSPL version when I have some free time. At the moment, please use Kaiser Hard-SPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679), this is safe ;)

For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:

1. Download mtty.exe (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mtty.exe)
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:

Cmd> boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++

After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL :)

OMG thank you POF!!! You are truly the MASTER!!

Question how do we go about dumping and using Imgfs tools in Kaiser ROMS?
Can you give us a basic run down since its different than the Hermes please

[kman79]

Okay, excuse my ignorance, but when you say Kaiser, do you mean all versions of the Kaiser, like the ATT Tilt (8925), or just the HTC Kaiser? Please don't beat me up :)

See here how to dump the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680

I've not researched yet on how to use ImgfsTools, reconstruct dumped roms, etc... but should not be very different from what you already know from hermes, just be creative :)

HI Pof,

Does this also SIM unlock the device?
Or if I use this CID unlock and load the HTC rom will that SIM unlock the device?

Thanks

I manage to dump mine without problems using Vista Ultimate too ;) ... if you get this error when executing pdocread


C:\itsutils>pdocread.exe -l
Copying C:\itsutils\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync

You have to modify this registry key, and then softreset using power button:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies

valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

dword: any thing other than 1 disallows unsigned
dword: 1 allows unsigned(extracted from Hermes wiki and tested on Kaiser)
