How to fix trashed bootloader?

[RogueTrooper]

All,

Somehow my bootloader got trashed while swapping memory cards and I'd like to easiest fix to get it going again. (At Tri-Color screen) If I plug it in and run RUU_Kaiser_Cingular_WWE.exe (I'm running nonbloat Tilt rom) it'll start the upgrade, stop at about 1%, but the phone will boot and everything is there. So I'm just looking for a quick way to make it stick so I don't have to do that anymore..


I'll play with cooked ROMs soon, everything is working GREAT for the time being and I don't wanna reinstall!

:)

Thanks all!

Doesn't sound like you have HardSPL installed but this should fix your problem (at least your issue sounds very similar) ... after you get it fixed you should consider installing HardSPL.

Credit to pof for the instructions below which were part of his now dead SSPL thread for Kaiser:


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
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:
Code:

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


Good Luck

Ahhh!

I didn't find it in the Kaiser forum, but in the Hermes wiki!

Seems that I just had to connect via mtty (to USB, not a COM port! :) ) then just issue a: set 14 0

Then did a soft reset and all was well!

Back in business!

Now, maybe I'll start playing with some ROMS! :)

Thanks again!

Hi everyone,

I tried using MTTY.exe on a XP machine. The option for USB shows up but when i type the command "boot" i get command error. Please help!

KAIS130
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8

on the right top corner the tri-color screen displays RUUNBH
I tried HARD-SPL / gets stuck on 0% and the RUU goes into recovery mode later. Tried stock ROM (Invalid ID).

should've read further. You'd of seen my post on Different SPL's & their different command capabilities.
For 1.93 SPL you can issue cmd>task 8

You need to install hardSPL once you get it going, because you DON'T have it know.

Thanks for your response GSLEON3

I followed your instructions and used the Task 8 command for the 1.93 SPL
The device turn off and comes back to the same Tri - color screen with RUUNBH on top right. Tried flashing Hard-SPL stuck on 0%. Please help :(
