I've RESEARCHED, and found no answers. I think it's bricked

[barrnunn]

Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.

I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:

KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8

At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.

I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

You could hard reset if you altered something in WM to cause it not to boot...hopefully

[barrnunn]

I tried the hard reset and same thing I flashes for a very split second loading and then goes back to the screen.

Hard reset is both item buttons above IE and Mail with soft reset correct?

Yeah and then you press send...
- well you could try go into the bootloader and flash an OEM original ROM on i do not believe that doing this would brick your kaiser.

In case u dont know how to do it:

[xmoo]

Or else search for MTTY. That helped a lot of ppl who got stuck in boot loader.

U need to hold the stylus in the hole longer, untl a message pops up on the page.

If it does not hardreset or help u, do what zeezee told u - flash a new rom.

[barrnunn]

OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.

I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Here is a list of OEM ROMs:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs

I do not see any Mods here around or somebody yelling (search button is your friend,search the wiki everything is there, bla bla)To having a woman at home change everything..:) Thanks..!

Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method

[barrnunn]

ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync :D

[barrnunn]

ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?

My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

put the rom image file on storage card and than power on phone in bootloader. the process will start automatically.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck :D

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.

I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."

Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.

Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.

There were a few complications, but she is now doing well & recovering. I will be spending this weekend & most of next week helping to care for her & will be unavailable still for the next ten days or so.

There are many capable people in the Kaiser forum that will help. If you have hit a wall, be patient & I will begin to answer my PM's in the order they were recieved within the next week. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, but family comes first as I'm sure you understand.

Thanks,

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.

On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.

After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.

Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.

In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

Why did you create a new thread for this? You should have just edited your first post in the existing thread to say [solved]

I'm sure that a mod will just merge them together for you though, so no worries, just for future reference.

[barrnunn]

oh, sorry. I created another because the search engine was not the easiest thing for me to use so I put the same info under a title that someway may search for. The easier people find solutions, the less threads in the long run.
