Hey All-
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am having problems updating to any of the WM6 ROMs out there (up here). One of a few things is happening:
1) Either RUU crashes just after it successfully sends my PDA in to bootloader mode, or
2) RUU is able to stay up, but for some reason, does not like the update file:
I either get an error: "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get a newer NBF file.", or
it suggests the nbf file is "corrupted", I think indicating the RUU util I am running is out of synch with what the PDA is expecting.
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA (Vario?) and Vista.
I've tried all of the solutions I have been able to find:
* changing the driver to HTC USB Sync so that it can "reconnect" once in bootloader
* various flavors of the update utility to get around the crash, which do not let me upgrade to the ROM of choice!
* hard reset of the device
* I even tried pulling down one of the ROM upgrades from the T-Mobile dowloads site and dropping that in with a WM6 ROM nbf file. That was a huge flop.
I know people have done this! I've seen it over and over again. So what in the world stupid thing am I doing to not make this work?
Thanks.

RUU doesnt work on Vista. Use shelltool.
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it was good advice, but I am three hours in to it running now, and I don't have a good feeling about it. I think it says it would take at least 15 minutes. Not 180! Ugh, now I wonder what I should do?

How do you do that? Thank you because when i try to downgrade my ROM or w/e so that i can unlock it when i gots to bootloader the fred green blue thingy it doesnt reconnect to active sync and maybe thats my probelm...=[
chaos, just look around for the RUU with Vista instructions- they are everywhere!
hey mate,
just follow this instructions http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977 to falsh every official ROM under MS Vista. Surely, when it comes to WM6 you gotta use the Shelltool.

Answer for Vista
My question is why don't people just dual boot vista with xp or 2000/etc...that would solve a lot of issues about the problems with vista.. just boot to xp..
I figure if you have the $Funds$ to spend on a $250+ phone you could shell out $50 for a 150gb 16mb cache HDD for your pc and dual/tri/quad/etc... sheeet son i've been doing this for years with linux/m$/mac.
Gotta face it, some software just runs better on one OS over another. peace out.
can someone confirm shell tool work

I tried it, took like 6 minutes then it was completed, knowingly it wasnt flashed right, but did the hard reset on the phone and was stuck at the SPL screen, so just loaded up VMWare to reflash.
It worked for me...
I flashed one of the WM6 ROMs using my Vista Ultimate computer. One of the main parts in making the thing work is remembering to put your computer in bootloader before doing it. On post #7 in the MoDaCo thread, it says this.
Once more, here is the link: http://www.modaco.com/RUU-on-Vista-It-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide-t252977.html
so your saying witht hat tut you flash a custom rom??
Yes
Yes I was able to. I don't remember which, but I think i was Core 2.0
Yeah, I was able to use shelltool to make this happen. Thanks for the feedback, folks. Only hang up was that it had appeared to have seized up (was seemingly stuck before the "End" portion). I waited for like 3 hours before I finally threw up my hands and hard reset the unit. Low and behold my wizard booted up in to the new ROM and I have been good to do since!
Hey guys,
I am trying to upgrade my XDA to WM6.5. When following the wizard steps, I enter the PDA into the bootload menu, but when I run the application on my XP desktop, I recieve the following error:
Error 150: Rom Upgrade Utility Error
This ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device.
Please get proper ROM upgrade utility and try again.
Help! It's frustrating the hell out of me!
please add which rom you currently use, do you have activesync installed
Me also have the same error
I have yust tried to install the new release with the same result.
I have a Qtek 9090 with WM 6.1 rel 5.2.20262 b. 19949.1.2.0.black, but in the past month I have tested many other...
Simply the install program don't recognize the device so cannot define if it's right or wrong.
Thank you in general for your fantastic jobs !
Sorry !
Yes I have Activesync installed (for another palmsize divice).
What????
Palm size device???? so you dont have activesync... you have hotsync but....
You already tried the WM6.1.... so you have activesync... men you are getting me crazy jejejej lol
BTW...
Try to conect your device if the activesync dont recognize it and sync.... restart your PC and PPC... the if this not works...
Uninstall the AS then Reinstall it..... if not works...
Try to change to other USB port
If dont works check your advanced conections settings
and check or uncheck the advanced network config box..... if not works...
BTW upgrading needs bootloader so put it on Bootloader mode conect it if your PC says something about not recognized just.... try other PC.... are you on VISTA or XP? suggested... XP.
Thanks
I have used very bad words, so don't panic ! The other device is a "normal" HTC 3300 (artemis) with 6.0 italian std rom and A.S. 4.5.0 (Build 5096) on Win XP.
The 9090 syncs regularly and it is regularly connected (I have stopped the bootloader and reboot the BA), I will test to reboot all, and eventually change the USBport, tomorrow morning (I am a little tired now and the eyes start to cross instead of read). As soon as I have done it I will and report here what does happend.
For now many thanks to you and to Xplode also.
night men!!!
Hope it works for you tomorrow... good luckits our pleasure to help.
Have you tryed the following ?

All Ok now
Symply from the last uprade of my 9090 I had changed the PC, so it haven't all the right Drivers.
Now, following Win XP requests (it was needing wceusbsh.sys) all is gone right so my 9090 actually exposes: CE OS 5.2.21169 (Build 21169.5.0.0) release. (and I am starting to play )
Many thanks to all.
you do not need drivers, install activesync in your pc, it includes al the drivers you need - if you have it and winxp still wants driver for the ba remove/uninstall activesync and reinstall it again - remember use the latest version of activesync
Hi,
Remove your "puce" and your sd card.
And try again of course with ActivSync.
For less worry upgrade on you BA's...I...WE recommend XP with Active Sync 4.5
I am running windows mobile device center on a Vista 64 bit laptop.
I have a t-mobile wing that I got second hand. The wing has OpenTouch V7.6 BP WWE.

Solution for flashing from Vista 64bit and postin only once
I do have the solution for your issues (specially looking the amount of posts you have done since your incorporation to XDA-Dev's):
1) Go to the top of the page, near to your username
2) Look the third link in the brown menu bar, from the right (LogOut, QuickLinks, ...)
3) That's right: this one which says "Search". Click on it.
4) Write "Flashing from Vista" in the combo which appeared
5) Read the issues with Vista and specially with Vista 64 bit or even XP 64 bit
6) You'll have the solution, and you'll have found it by yourself. That's to be proud !
6b) In some cases, you'll find it's too hard to flash from Vista and you need XP or the use of SD card ;-p
thanks buddy but actually i am using xp32. so now?
is your phone Hard spl?

That's not Win XP 32bit...
On the other side, if you use Win XP 32 bit, did you hard-SPL ? Can you put all the data about your device ? (SPL, Radio, etc.) so that we can know what is happening ?

I too had trouble flashing the default ROM on my Wing. The secret is actually to open up the official RUU application, then search your Temp folder for two NBH's, the RUU_signed.nbh, and the SPL.nbh. You need to then copy them into the RUU folder of Flash Center, run that as administrator, and make sure to flash without SD card. That's the way that I used to restore mine to stock from Hard-SPL.
I download the updater application - _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe - from HTC's site, but when I double click on it, it immediately says "kaiser has encountered a problem and needs to close" . I got it to start ok in safe mode, but then ActiveSync doesn't work correctly so still I can't do the upgrade.
It does this regardless of whether the phone is connected or not.
Phone:
HTC 8925
WM 6 Professional
ActiveSync 4.5
HardSpl 3.29 installed.
Computer:
Windows XP SP3
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

activesync is not needed at all
Got It
I did some more googling, and someone had the same problem which turned out to be the browser that they used to download the update files. I was skeptical, but they had downloaded it twice with firefox, and then downloaded it with Internet Explorer. They said it then worked, so I followed suite, downloading the WM 6.1 update with IE 8 instead of Firefox 3.5.
Guess what? It worked perfectly!
Funny thing is that now that I have the stock 6.1, I am looking at the custom 6.1 ROMS. I have a WM 6.5 ROM on my other Tilt, but it doesn't have good support for landscape mode, so I think I'll still with 6.1 since it does support it.
Okay heres my problem i have been floating around on the forums for a while and been after flashing my win Mo 6.1 X1 to 6.5 or use any of the many custom roms on this site.
However i have many many memory sticks for vairous phons for the last 5 or so years, but i dont own the required type for this phone and i refuse to buy a MS just to freekin upgrade my rom.
does anyone know of a way to update the rom on the phone via PC like place the custom rom / win mo file son a place in the main phone storage and update form that ?
i can't for the life of me find away to do this, thnx in advance
can write but can't read ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Seems you can't read also i said without using a memory stick. . . i need a way to do this without sticking the rom file on the root of a memory stick
Download the attachment, unpack and put the ROM in the same folder.
Connect your phone to your pc with active sync
Run CustomRUU to flash your phone

Thanks very much for your help, have a gold star from me
HUmmm okay this method of running the ROM from the same directory as the .nbh file is failing i get past the 4 colour boot screen and then to the 0% bar and then i get an error [26] update error
i have tryed this with two diffrent customRRU.exe and one supplyed with the rom i am trying to install ( X2 rom with win 6.5 latest release ) and nothing just crashes and re boots in ( yes the phone has had hardSPL used on it, as it was unlocked fromvodaphone network ) any ideas ???
Try connecting your phone to your pc when in bootloader, and wait until your pc has installed the drivers for it (don't run CustomRUU).
When the drivers are installed, reset your phone, connect to your pc with ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center, if you have Vista or Win 7).
Run CustomRUU when connected...
renamed to ruu_signed.nbh? kovsimg.nbh is only for sd method, just asking
