I read the wiki and all the other stuff that I was supposed to before I tried to flash a ROM.
I am stuck on a step and could use some help. I downloaded the ROM to my cpu. I noticed it was a .rar file, so i also downloaded winrar so I could open it.
Execute the .exe file you downloaded with the ROM. (If the ROM you downloaded only comes with an nbh file, download the CustomRUU for the Kaiser here. Put KaiserCustomRUU.exe and you nbh in the same directory and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe)

I cant get past this step. Can someone please advise.
don't know why u would get stuck ...
create new folder and place the .nbh and kaisercustomruu.exe in same folder on pc. make sure phone connected to pc via active sync and connection is established (icon turns green in actuve sync). now run the kaisercustomruu.exe from pc and let the action began.
p.s. i do sincerely hope u flashed hardspl onto ur device be4 flashing. don't know what that is? plz stop flashing and read wiki again for ur sake.
People just don't read. Did you try extracting the contents in Winrar to your desktop?
I did the hardspl already.
when i try to extract the folders it asks me for a password.

passwords are usually located on the first or second post of the rom you are trying to flash.
Found it. thanx!
Mod Note: This question should have been posted in the thread specific to the Rom you downloaded in the ROM Development Forum.
New thread for existing issue is a no-no.

Everytime i try to install a rom that's .exe it just goes to the run program and the usual setup screen doesnt come up. Do I need a .exe installer? please help

I have been trying to unzip a few files on my tilt after I downloaded them directly into the device. But an error keeps coming up. I tried to search for the answer but couldn't find any. error: the central directory was not found in the archive......
Any suggestions

Sounds like that file is part of a multipart archive. In order to unzip/rar it you need to have downloaded all the parts and then unzip the one that has a .Zip or .Rar extention. (actually I've never done that on the Kaiser - multi part zips I have only done on the PC, but it may work ok?
Mike
PS
this is not an upgrading matter so it will be moved to the general Kaiser forum

I was downloading this file http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html the home customizer and is a zip format
OP,
Have you tried copying the application onto your laptop/computer and then connect your Kaiser via your USB cable to your computer/laptop, and try unzipping and installing.
Your computer/laptop should then install the application onto your Kaiser if connected

I understand, however, as the moderator has told you in a more complex manner, not all zip files can be opened as they are downloaded straight onto your phone, unless the required parts are extracted. It normally works for me by clicking on the zip file, which causes all the individual components to be exposed. I then click on the zip and rar files and it downloads with no problems. If this doesn't work, then try it through your computer
Connecting your phone to your laptop/computer via activesync and installing the zip onto your computer/laptop should work
Unfortunately, I can't find my activesync cd at the moment (which I need as I did a hard reset and so need to reinstall mobile centre) and so cannot try out the HTC Customiser app

Thanks for your help. But I have another ? In my Tilt I have a Zip program in the Tools file. What is it for and why I cannot use to extract files?

The zip programme is there for you to download zip files. Some components of zip files cannot download onto your Kaiser as the zip programme only downloads zip and rar files. In this case, you only download the components which the zip programme recognises and allows you to download onto your phone.
Yes, having looked at this a little more, I feel that what you have downloaded is either an incomplete version of the file or a corrupted one. I say this because I have downloaded the Zip to my PC (size should be 2.01Mb). I then moved it in zipped form to the Kaiser and the zip program extracted it without problems. Hence, it is likely it is your download that's incomplete or corrupt. Worth downloading again, it's not unusual for a download done this way to be corrupted.

I dumped my rom and I've only the part.raw files... how to use them to create a NBH and then a CustomRUU installer?
sorry for the question, I tried to search the forum for a guide, with no result
I need to create a liberated rom for Italian language...
A little help will be appreciated...

Hi
1. Download KaiserKitchen and extract it to your harddisk.
2. Download Thaihugo uploaded WWE 1.22x as your base ROM and put the RUU_Signed.nbh (WWE 1.22x archive has it) in the BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. Copy the Part files in the same BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. There will be a batch file (I forgot its name, I am sorry) in the root folder of KaiserKitchen. Just Run that.
3a. Press e (extract)
3b. Press b (using base rom and part files)
4. follow the steps that it asks
5. press option for cooking (i think c or something) I forgot.
6. It opens the HTCRT. Select Kaiser in the options and select the NB file that it created from the base rom and your part files (basically it is Part 2 that is the language part).
7. Once it is done, it will create a RUU_Signed.nbh in the base ROM file (it lets you to chose name and folder).
I am sorry, I could not remember the exact option names. I am currently travelling. The instructions are on my home computer. The other day cmonex helped in extracting from Chinese for me. I tried to recollect our chat and presented it here. let me know how did it go. Otherwise, if you could wait till tomorrow evening (I live in CST), I could provide you correct name of batch file and options.
You can download KaiserKitchen from Kaiser sub forum here. Search for KaiserKitchen and you could get the link for it to download.
Thanks and HTH
Ram
Thanks for the help... but, I've problems with the process, please take a look at the S.S. uploaded in this thread...
Here's another SS, the updater stop working at 0% saying device not recognized in the taskbar...
I also tried using thaihugo updater with my new RUU_signed.nbh...
no result... it stop working at 2%
what's the problem?
don't use this kitchen. Use kaiserkitchen 0.3. also, the nbhutils must be olipro version, not htccrt.
here is the proper nbhutils
I hope I not out of line here but I am about to go crazy. I have read the posts and I am completely lost at this point. I goal was to go from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5.
As per the Noob FAQ I flashed 3.29 on to my phone exactly as the directions stated no problem. After step 3 I did step 4 no problem. At this step is where I am stuck. I have tried to flash the rom vis activesync with no luck.
I run the RUU.exe and it runs fine ask me to update the flash from version 3.29 to 1.00. the files I downloaded the TPC_V11_KAISER_MANIILA.rar and the TPC_V11_KAISER_LOADED.rar and placed them in the same folder as the RUU.exe but not both at the same time.
I have done this step at least 4 times and nothing it is still at WM6.1. I am sure that i am doing some stupid newguy mistake or I am missing something but I am lost. If this is out of line I am sorry to the mods, I am just going crazy.
you are correct to place whatever image needs to be flashed in the same folder as the RUU before running the RUU. you are also correct about avoiding more than one ROM image being present next to the RUU before running the RUU.
the RAR files that you downloaded need to be extracted first (download, install, and use winrar for this purpose). once extracted, the ROM image contained in the RAR file is what should be placed in the same folder as the RUU.
...or you still have something other than the image of the desired ROM in the same folder as the RUU. perhaps the image for the HardSPL is still lurking around in that folder?
Yup you need to extract the rar files using winrar (latest version). It's a .nbh file that you need for the flash, in the same directory as the RUU.exe file.
Thanks guys what a stupid mistake on my end. I flashed the rom and it is working great. I really like this upgrade from my original WM6.1. The only thing I am missing is Office mobile. Thanks for the help
Here is PDACorner Office 2007

I just spent some hours wading through the forums to find complete instructions for installing the newer android builds using the WM haret.exe linux booter (rather than flashing the entire phone and loosing WM) on my touch Vouge.
I am a bit of a newb, but since I did not find complete instructions, and had to figure some things out using trial and error I thought I would post what I did figure out here in hopes of helping others.
First ignore the install instructions here. sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall . They are old and need to be updated.
Erase all previous android files from your sd card
Go here: sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
haretinstall.zip
open the zip and place the andboot folder and all its contents on the / directory of your SD card
then download eclair252_androidinstall.zip
unzip eclair252_androidinstall.zip to get androidinstall.tar
copy androidinstall.tar to your sdcard /andboot folder
(unnecessarily steps deleted - see below)
Then on your phone's file explorer run haret.exe from /andboot folder on you sd card
click run and immediately hold the volume switch up as linux boots
the boot menu appears. choose install
if the installation hangs hold volume up again, and choose quit
As I said I'm new at this, so my instructions may be off or misguided. If so please post with corrections. I just know I was looking for a guide like this and couldn't find one so hope this helps someone.

Actually, you just answered my question (which I never posted) about NoRootFS.... Thanks for posting this!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
can you explain what is the benefits of doing it this way compared to the way its always been for me. it was as simple as downloading the sqsh package zip file from my favorite build here. witch included all the files i needed to run anroid. I copied the android folder from the zip file to the root of my sd card and simply ran haret exe. It used to be complicated but not now that most builds include all the basefiles needed for boot. I never had to hold any volume buttons or install anything. i probably look dumb for asking this.

Although I have not yet tried myself because I have a Polaris and WiFi is not yet working, my understanding is that NoMoRootFS makes more space available for the ROM and makes it easier for developers to roll out updates. In the thread for Myn's (most excellent) Warm Donut, there are several themes and updates that can only be applied to Rev2 if you have installed via NoMoRootFS.

I think that this step is not needed. The NBH files were made for flash your phone. If you run Haret is not needed.
Am I right?

correct. with the OP method, the .nbh file is just taking up space. you never need to do anything with a .nbh file if you are using haret. OP, please fix and I will add to my list of FAQs, otherwise very informative. thx.

Did you get into the install menu by holding volume up? easiest and quickest way to help you is if you describe exactly what you did - I know it is similar to the OP, but just give a step by step in your own words.

Did didn't get past the Linux menu. It only ran for about 4 or 5 seconds then locked up. I had to soft reset to get my phone functioning again.
I did exactly what the instructions in the 1st post said to do.
Downloaded andboot file to \storage card\andboot
Downloaded androidinstall.zip & placed in the andboot file
Clicked haret.exe
Selected run while holding up the volume key
I read in the post that the below items were not necessary so I skipped them:then download vogueeclairnbh.zip
unzip vogueeclairnbh.zip to get VOUGIMGx480.NBH
copy VOUGIMGx480.NBH to your sdcard /andboot folder
I'm running stock rom. My carrier is nTelos (CDMA).
I notice that your rom version and radio version are not the latest. You may have to ungrade those before you can get it to run.

always good to have latest radio. i don't know if it will interfere with you booting linux, usually it creates problems with gps or data once you are in android. but who knows, anything is possible I suppose.
list the files that are in /sdcard/andboot/ emmie0702
I've always wanted to update me ROM but there is not a Server cab out there that will give me back my settings for nTelos. Its a small cell network therefore no one has bothered to create one (I really can't blame them). So I've never tried it out of fear of Bricking my phone. For some reason nTelos did not offer WiFi, GPS or MMS with this phone through their network (didn't know that until AFTER I bought it). They have it for other phones but not this one for some reason. That was a little annoying when I 1st got it but I've leaned to live without it. I love my phone even w/o those things. I get pics emailed to me & can email them to other's phone through their carrier address (eg [email protected]). WiFi would be nice but I never use GPS. As far as the Radio. I assume it sort of the same step. I pretty much have to install it & it will wipe out or "Hard Reset" my phone, right...causing me to losing all my network info?
Here are the files I have in the andboot folder:
androidinstall
default
haret
initrd
READE-BASEFILES
zImage
zImage-eclair
** I could not file the "eclair252_androidinstall.zip" file to download so I downloaded the androidinstall.zip under the "2010-01-05" folder from sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/. Could that be the problem or could it be a combination of my Radio/ROM & the androidinstall tar I downloaded?

you should be able to update your radio without touching your rom, there is a radio only version of 3.42.50, see the faqs noob guide to flashing, it is in there.
I am unsure what you downloaded; it looks like you have the right basefiles, but if you got androidinstall.zip from 2010-01-05 I don't think it will have anything compatible with the norootfs method, and is probably causing your problem.
delete androidinstall.tar, download this and drop the androidinstall.tar that is inside into your sdcard/andboot/ folder. then run haret and keep holding volume up until you see the install menu. then post back.

OK. Same thing...phone locks up at the same place. I downloaded the file you attached & downloaded the VOGUIMG.nbh file that was linked on PPCGeeks. I followed the instructions on PPCGeeks post "This is the vogue radio 3.42.50 designed for the vogue (this is not the titan port). I removed it directly from the bell rom and recomplied it as a radio only .nbh. This is a radio only rom designed to be flashed from bootloader from sd card and doesn't require a hard reset. Copy VOGUIMG.nbh to root of fat32 micro sd card 2gb or less and place phone in bootloader and it will run."
I still get the same outcome. Both your attachment & the VOGUIMG.nbh file are located \Storage Card\ on my phone. When the Radio instructions say its designed to be flashed from Bootloader what exactly does that mean? Do I need a program for that or is it suppose to start when I Run the default.txt after I select haret in the andboot folder?
the place you got the link to the radio only version also has instructions on how to flash your phone - see the before starting area. short: get into bootloader mode, then flash.
I still think there is something else that you are doing wrong, I just can't put my finger on it right now; i'm hoping others will be able to help.
