RSD Lite help needed!!!!

[biker_boy_9r]

Okay, Im a virgin to this whole phone modding thing, but Im trying. The endless search of this site has gotten me this far. I got ahold of RSD Lite 2.7, ( the closest I could find to your guides), I bring the flash up in RSD litejust like in the first step of the guide, click start, just like it says in the second step and absolutely nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I have a Sprint K1M by the way.

Do you have your phone in bootloader mode? To get your phone into bootloader mode, turn off the phone, then hold down * and # then hit the power button all at the same time. Then the phone will be recognized and be flashable.

[biker_boy_9r]

Now I need to find a MSM6500 driver...Im googling right now, anyone give me a hint.

Try this, it worked for me. I dont remember that specific driver though. If all else fails, run Motorola Software Update in the background.

[biker_boy_9r]

Ok, now its saying that its not supported by this processor type. I dont even know what that means.:furious:

[milkbone98]

are you using a 64 bit ?

[biker_boy_9r]

yeah...cant ya tell Im new to this

LOL then again....I think I got it...maybe.

ok I successfully installed the driver from here, yet still when I hit start, still nothing. could it be a problem with RSD Lite? I got the flash from this site so I didnt think it was that.

[milkbone98]

you need the 64 bit drivers, are those what you got?

[biker_boy_9r]

Holy crap I got it...started using my thinkin instead of my drinkin...LOL

Thanks for all your help man...I really do appreciate it.

New problem, how do I get it out of bootloader mode?

[milkbone98]

just hit the power button, itll power down. :beer-fresh:

[biker_boy_9r]

tried that now my phones stuck on the HelloMoto screen, how bad did I screw up?

[milkbone98]

what did you do? Is it formatting a card? Did you flash it with something?

[biker_boy_9r]

I flashed it with this: http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=2232

A flash I got off of the site in the downloads section.

I can get back to the bootloader screen, but everytime I try to flash again it goes back to the HelloMoto screen in the middle of the flash.

[milkbone98]

Is it still doing nada?

[biker_boy_9r]

yep like I said I can get back to bootloader, start the flash again, then its almost like the phone disconnects in the middle of it.

[milkbone98]

what does RSD say? Any error messages?

[biker_boy_9r]

No errors, the comp just says that RSD stopped working.

I tried the Monster Pack and it will only make it to 97% and then same thing, stops working. The phone just goes straight to the HellpMotto screen at 97%. Same with the flash, itll go to a certain percentage and then boom, goes to the hellomotto screen, RSD locks up, and Im screwed.

[milkbone98]

try to use PST to flash it. 7.1.x or higher i believe

[biker_boy_9r]

let me guess...... GOOGLE huh

[milkbone98]

yep, google is your friend on this one

[biker_boy_9r]

And a great friend is Google...about to give it a try

Cant get PST to do anything either. It seems it has to do with my phone not being able to reboot. Im not familiar with pst, do i leave the phone in Bootloader mode, or does it need to be rebooted, which I cant do.

[milkbone98]

hmm, what does it do when you power up? Nothing, correct? Try this, pull the memory card, then replace the battery and try, if nothing, run yet another app, Motorola Software Update in the background and try to flash with RSD, or just flash with MSU.

[biker_boy_9r]

I cant find a version of the updater thats compatible with windows vista!!!

[milkbone98]

oh dam thats right, Vista. Is the phone operable at all?

[biker_boy_9r]

I can power it up and it gets stupck on the hellomotto screen, remove the battery, use the magic keys and get me to the BOOTLOADER screen but thats all.

[milkbone98]

hmm, can you run stuff in XP mode on Vista? This may help too http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11122

[biker_boy_9r]

I dont think my problems with the drivers, I just cant get the flashes or monster packs to finish. I can start both, but they wont finish, the computer makes the "dong" sound when the phone is disconnected and the comp says that RSD stopped running. The problem would lie with the cable would it? Its one that charges as well ya know.

[milkbone98]

try connecting to a USB in the back of the tower

[biker_boy_9r]

tried and still nothing, do the V3M monsterpacks work for my phone, I have a Sprint K1M just in case you forgot. I might give them a try.

Getting close to throwing it against the wall and claiming the insurance.

97% on the monsterpack and RSD stops running. Problem signature:

Mean anything to you?

[milkbone98]

I dont think that they will . there is a guide to putting Alltell on it though. http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19252&highlight=omar

[biker_boy_9r]

what exactly will that do? By the way, dropped RSD 2.7 and found 3.5. Gonna try that and see what happens. Why not right.

[milkbone98]

Now thats a good idea. Or flash with PST.
BTW, heres a thread regarding the Alltell conversion. so close...
http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18988

[biker_boy_9r]

yep, this time the monsterpack failed to make it to the phone again, but RSD didnt stop working this time, just the phone went to the hellomotto screen at 97% again, so at least this version of RSD is better, I will check out that link now, see if thatll help.

[milkbone98]

sounds like a plan. Take out the card too, maybe thatll help

[biker_boy_9r]

HHHRRRMMMM....havent tried that...lets see.

Cant seem to find the Alltel pack, mind pointing for me, the card idea didnt work by the way.

ok the phone just wont let me in!!!!!:furious: :confused: I just tried a flash and backup program still wont let me in. It will begin sending the data and then the phone goes to that @#%$#@# hellomotto screen.

I dont know if this will work but i am going to try and uninstall all of the drivers and then reinstall them, who knows, I dont think I can really make anything worse at this point.:banghead: :banghead:

[milkbone98]

Well, it could technically get worse, but not much.

[biker_boy_9r]

LOL..thanks.

You have anymore ideas man, your alot more experienced in this than I am, or would you say that I am royally screwed.

[milkbone98]

I would try like crazy to get thet Sprint pack on there, using PST or RSD. I have no idea whats causing your RSD to crash though it does sound like a driver conflict to me. I would go to MotoDev, or the downloads section here and get the Driver tool 64 bit version and remove the old and start fresh.

[biker_boy_9r]

10-4 man, at this point, Ill do anything short of stickin a bottle in my but and cluckin like a chicken, ok not really, but its gettin bad. I got the 32 bit to run, Ill try the 64 again.

[milkbone98]

make sure to remove all drivers with the tool , i think a restart wouldnt hurt either between installs.

[biker_boy_9r]

allright weres that tool to remove them again?

[milkbone98]

http://developer.motorola.com/
we have a link here too, but thuis is the same. Get a login, get the UID tool, get er done lol

[biker_boy_9r]

thats certainly the game plan

UID Tool not reads the phone but cant get the data from it. Dude thanks for the help thusfar, Im going to be. If ya can keep thinking of things and Ill check back here tomorrow to see if you came up with anything. Thanks again man.

[milkbone98]

UID tool is just a driver tool, its not supposed to get the data,just get the drivers in.

[biker_boy_9r]

Well the UID Extraction tool that I got from the site you gave me has options to retreive data from the phone. I dont know hao to use this prgram either. Little insight would help though.

[milkbone98]

i just use it to remove the old drivers and install the new ones, there should be a checkable box when you get it running. I didnt realize that it could read the phone too, sorry. I hete messing with my drivers so I stay away from it as much as possible. When i installed my CDMA drivers, it completely screwed my GSM ones, which I use a lot more.

[biker_boy_9r]

So far I have "UID/IMEI successfully retrieved". Try to save it and it wont save anywhere.

No checkable boxes, in either version 2.2 or 2.0

Matter of fact heres the product description:{This tool allows developers to read and save the Unique ID (UID) and International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) information of a Motorola handset using the USB connection in a Microsoft Windows® PC. Version 2.0 is used for the majority of current Motorola handsets.** Doesnt sound like anything your refering to.

[milkbone98]

nah, i definately screwed the pooch on that. Lemme open a tab and check it out.

Motorola USB Driver v2.7.6 for Windows (32-bit)

This USB Driver is used for connecting your Motorola handset to a 64-bit Windows computer via a USB cable.
Supported Handsets

This driver supports most Motorola OS, Motorola Linux OS, Motorola iDEN, Motorola Symbian/UIQ, Motorola Windows Mobile® and Motorola i-Mode handsets.
System Requirements

* Windows XP 64-bit or Windows Vista 64-bit
* You must have Administrator permissions to install this driver

Notes

* Please reboot the system after installing this USB driver
*
* Installation of Motorola’s Mobile Phone Tools may affect the performance of this driver. Please re-install the USB driver after the installation of the Motorola Mobile Phone Tools

[biker_boy_9r]

I allready have that driver.

[milkbone98]

was it the msi that installs? In the start menu you can run it, at least in XP. When its executed, thats when the checkable boxes are available.

[biker_boy_9r]

so do I clean only or what? Im there by the way.

[milkbone98]

clean only i guess, if it doesnt work, then clean and reinstall.

[biker_boy_9r]

Is it normal that the phone says "Jumping to RAM Downloader" the whole time its falshing

neither worked

[milkbone98]

did you restart between cleaning and trying again? I did the clean only, didnt restart, and now I cant connect either :duel:

[biker_boy_9r]

hhhrrrrmm worth a try

Ok still nothing....Is there anything else that I can try flashing to my phone through RSD Lite. The two files that I tried are usc_v3c_04.08.00r_priii05698_customerupgrade_01 and honl242_x_00.37.00r_st1_ff_combo_upgrade. I can start these but part way through the flash the phone cuts itself off from the computer and shots to the hellomoto screen. Then I cant turn it off, or anything. I have to take the battery back out, and go to the bootloader screen. Arent there anymore flashes or monsterpacks I can try?

[milkbone98]

Ive seen most people flash CDMA with PST, this may be a better choice than RSD. i updated my FW OTA, Mark Venture is the man when it comes to the CDMA modding http://mark.cdmaforums.com/index.php
take a look through there too.

[biker_boy_9r]

I cant connect my phone to PST in bootloader mode can I?

[milkbone98]

I believe that you can. You may get driver prompts though

[biker_boy_9r]

I get this error when I open pst, "Cannot read serial ports key from registry" What does that mean?

IRDB_Programmer says object initialization failed. Program will now shut down.

[milkbone98]

sounds like it needs the pst patch to me, it usually comes with it. If it didnt, get any pst patch, theyre not version specific. You may need to get the drag and drop ones instead of the uni patcher, with Vista and everything.

[biker_boy_9r]

Ok man, looks like this is the end of the line for me, this is going to give me a stroke Im getting so mad over this. Looks like I will be contacting Sprint tomorrow and telling them I have no clue whats going on with it. Thanks for the help anyway.

[milkbone98]

NP, too bad it didnt work.
