yes i tried it didnt work
i tried to hard reset too
the installing of the original rom is the only one can be started and will stop in the middle to give me an error

how did you uninstall hard spl in first place...

[mdrcute]

by putting back original spl

[skumara]

What error you get when you hard spl?

[mdrcute]

it stays on 0% and never move then it asks me to make a recover

[skumara]

1. Unlock your polaris
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375338)
2. Than Hard-spl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964) your device

PS: Only use the hard spl in the link provided. Disable your antivirus before procedure.

this might work.

[mdrcute]

thanks at first
but the first link cant be downloaded
and i think it is just an earlier version of hard spl 2.0
so i think it wont be usefull

From what I've read on a while ago on XDA, if your rom flash progress hangs in the middle of the process, it may be because of the fact that your current radio is too new for your 'old', original rom. You should try to flash an earlier radio before you flash the complete original (6.0?) rom.
And if you get it flash half of your rom, you probably didn't remove HardSPL, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that familiar with it.

As I recall, the figures above indicate that you do have the original SPL. You should try to flash an original rom (if you don't have one, i have a dutch one here (wm6.0). If that doesn't work you should try to flash hardspl (hold the camera button while softresetting to enter bootloader) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 ) and then try to flash a newer rom.
Where are you from?

[snempaa]

Btw. I forgot to tell you that you need to flash an old radio too if you're going to flash the original rom. (if you don't have one already).

And when you have hardspl on your device, it'd be wise to flash a rom which include a radio.

I'll be away for a couple of hours, so I've put the original (dutch WM6.0) rom (incl. the original spl, but I think (dont know for sure) you need hardspl2.0 just to flash anything.) online here (http://wouter.ru/xda/), let me know if your figured it out.

[mdrcute]

well thank you for all the help
but i am sadly informing it didnt work if the problem is the radio the i just need to flash another one .
it is just i cant or i dont know the right method to flash the necessary radio:confused:
would any one please tell how to flash radio from the boot loader when i dont have hard spl

[snempaa]

Maybe a stupid question, but why can't you flash hardspl2? And do you have an unlocked device? You don't live in the Netherlands by any chance right?

[mdrcute]

why I can't flash hard spl 2 ?
actually I don't know
maybe because I am stuck in the boot loader
and sadly I am living in Saudi Arabia so we don't have much programmers around here nor people who have PDA
that's why I can't find someone to help

[snempaa]

Can you describe exactly what you do step by step on your pc and pda and how your hardware is connected?

update: and tell me what messages are on your screen and if you get any errors

[mdrcute]

well first i connect usb so the pda directly starts boot loader (the screen with three colours)
after that whatever (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) i use the installing stops to give me this messege:
the rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process . the program will guide you step by step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.

this happens with every rom i tried including the har spl exept for the original rom it advance untill 38% then stops and give me the same messege.

if i try the (step by step ) process it ends up the same way .

anyway what i understand that my problem will end once i put (hard spl)
or if flashed another radio all i need to know is how to do either of them from the boot loader.
i have been so needy but sorry for that i am just sad about my pda i like it alot:(

I dont think it changes anything, but you do keep the camera button pressed while softresetting your device to get into the bootloader?

Usually your device only gets to the bootloader when you do that, but i can imagine that when your rom update failed and the device cannot boot a rom, it stays in the bootloader, but not in flash mode? Worth a try..

[skumara]

Tell me what appear in your PDA screen during boot. I want to know the information on the first screen like below:
R:
G:
D:

These information usually appear on the right bottom corner or your screen when you boot your device.

[snempaa]

I think you need to have a working rom for that;)

actually i dont press the camera button to get into boot loader it happens whatever i do so it does not help to press it a soft reset.

but i didnt understand what exactly you asked me to try

skumara:
i realy dont have a rom in my device just the boot loader
so no R G D for me

???? You dont have a rom? I really dont have a salution for you. Its seems that you havent try 2 things yet. ( How come you dont have a rom?)

1st thing:

1. press and hold both GPS and Internet explorer button at the same time and press the reset button. Follow the intrucstion in the screen.

Later the 2nd thing.

did you charge your phone more than 50%?

[snempaa]

did you charge your phone more than 50%?

When you're already in the bootloader when you start the flash (so w/o activesync connection) you don't need to be half charged (with the risk that your battery goes dead while flashing).

[snempaa]

actually i dont press the camera button to get into boot loader it happens whatever i do so it does not help to press it a soft reset.


But you did try it right? Hold it while doing a soft reset?
