Hii guys. I have read and read and read the threads on flashing but still couldnt find an answer to my problem. I am trying to flah wm6.5 on my wing. When i start herald-uspl from the flash center, the problem occurs after step 2. It says that when you hit enter for step two, it will load a patched bootloader, but it never loads it. Can anyody tell me wht im doing wrong or the solution to thix, i will greatly appreciate it. thx
I currently have WM6.1
Rom Version : 5.2.20931 WWE
Rafio version: 03.12.90
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.56
ExtROM Version: Cooked by gullum
How did you get WM6.1 into your phone? It's the same process.
i bought the wing from ebay, Wm6.1 was already installed
Try flashing the NBH with Flash Center. (Or just skip the USPL file and go to the RUU folder and launch the RUUflasher from there.) If it works, you're hardSPLed.
thvm for your help, really appreciate it. I went back to one of your threads on hot to flash and noticed the little mistake that i had made earlier. I flashed it perfectly and the phone works great. thx again

Hello
Have read the wiki and all the information and would like to upgrade however when it states select your original shippers rom, none of them match my details
I think i must have one of the first ones though cause i received my M2000 before all the stock issues occured with orange
Rom Details:
Operator Version: 5.12.1.139
ROM Version: 1.12.22 WWE
ROM Date: 09/27/04
Radio Version: 1.04.00
Protocol Version: 1337.35
ExtROM revsion: 1.12.139 WWE
any help would be appreciated as I really think its an old old release version
Thank You in advance
Welcome to the forum.
Your rom is old and we dont have many if any new Orange roms.
So if you want to upgrade the rom your best choice is the 1.40 and radio 1.10 or 1.12. (you will have to work out which one you need based on what you read here).
How to upgrade is on wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
You might have to think about your Ext rom, unlocking it and saving the Orange related things.
Read the stuff again in the kitchen and here is what you have to work out what you want to save.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_112139
Have fun and yes most of your questions have answeres in wiki.
got an m2000 also. didnt read the instructions before doing a rom upgrade. the first couple of times i thought i had destroyed the phone cos it wouldnt boot up. installed the imate latest update and works like a beauty. latest everything on it.cant see any major differences from old rom that i can notice. apart from different wifi icon (prefer new one) and windows media player 10 (great). as fro expternal rom i also installed the imate one cos the orange was nothing special. dont miss any of the setting from it apart from the gprs which i barely use just latch on to wifi wherever i go. too many unsecure wifi connections in north london anyway
my upgrade to the Imate rom is complete, however i am wondering if i use XBackUp's backup or the backup i made prior to the ROM upgrade using ActiveSync, will actually just revert the roms back to how they were or will it just keep the same info and just restore my missing data??
Thank You for helping
hmm started restore anyway (thought i'd go on an adventure) then read some posts and found its not a good idea.
so my question has now changed to not if i shud restore but how do i save the txt msgs from the fone and put them back once i have reflashed the phone again?
Thank You
Hello!
I tried to flash my Charmer with the new german Aku 3.3. At first everything seems to be ok, but at 95% it stops and i got the Message: update error- there is an comunication problem! So what can i do? I tried to flash the old rom back but there comes also at 95% a message: invalid command - nfb file cannot be used for your pda!
Please help me !
Greetings Musna!
Ps: can somebody upload a sd image for the mda compact II !
Go to bootloader mode, then try to flash RUU rom (1.x). You can find it on Charmer wiki.
It doesn`t work too, it always stops at 95% has anyone another idea?
did you try hard reset?
Yes i tried hard reset, but it is always in bootloader!
I have also the same problem. Tried to upgrade to version 3.3. Everytime it stops at 80%. I don't know why?! I can repair it with the software and re-run it. But it has the same effect.
Now i will try to downgrade to 2.6 again. I really don't understand what causes the problem. I hope i will get this thing running again....
EDIT: I reflashed the device with the older 2.6 ROM and it is working right now. However I didn't really get why it gets stuck at 80% with 3.3 ?!?!

I´ve got the same: My charmer is in Bootloader IPL 2.06.0001 SPL 3.08.0001
I can´t downgrade to AKU 2: Please order a newer Version.
Every try to upgrade to AKU 3.3 failed at 95% with Error 326.
Is there any help for my charmer???
oh.**** !!!! I got the same problem with them and my first pda uk rom already empty screen and then i try with my scrond pda German rom it the same problem and now just only show in bootloader screen.Have i ask someone who knowage about this he told me that if SLP in you PDA have chang it be hard to repair.So,I think I lose 2 PDA did I try to flash in T-Mobile Official Rom de that i hope to develop it but i hve to kill 2 Charmer.Who take responsibilities,T-Mobile right ???
Ok no problem you can repair it! At first you have to brand your device with the rom you want to! After 95% the Problem will come again! When it stops you have to go with a reset to bootloader again.When your device is in bootloader you have to install the Radio Rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302768
After that your device will be able to boot again and it should work!- But the Problem during the installation will stay,so you have always to use this way to flash your Mda compact II!
In the new rom there must be a problem with the radio rom and this causes the broken device.
I`m sorry for my bad english but i`m not used to talk very much! So i hope you understand what i mean!
Greetings from Austria Musna!
that link is broken
Then try this one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Radio_Roms/Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.47.11.exe
You can find the radio rom also on the ftp server. Prophet> Radio Roms>Prophet_G4_RadioRom_v2.47.11.exe
You can try different Radio Rom versions, i have flashed the v.247.11 and it worked.
Normaly it should work!
Thank u so much !!! My Charmer secrond PDA come back have life again and it can working.So,my Charmer first PDA UK rom still empty screen and notthing working when i press any button.Who can slove this problem !!
Musna do you have any massage such as msn
Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan
Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.
Hi all,
My first time being a productive member of this great forum (or at least, I hope so ).
I've been wanting to flash the ROM on my Touch HD with Orange UK (something I've never done before), but as an "insurance policy", wanted to have a backup of the stock ROM in case I have he need to restore it, or need to send back the phone to Orange for some reason. After searching the Internet at large and this forum in particular, I was unable to find a dump of the same ROM version as the one I have (1.19.61.1) with Orange UK, so after an hour or more of searching and reading, I was finally able to follow the steps to extract the ROM from memory in .raw format and then reassemble it as an .nbh file using the itsutils tools and the Blackstone "Kitchen" tools. The reference ROM I used for the reconstruction process was this one (found through the forums):
RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.2 5.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
Here are the complete details regarding the ROM I'm posting, from the Device Information program of my phone:
Operator version: 34.119.1.611
ROM version: 1.19.61.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/25/08
Radio version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U
The process seems to have gone smoothly, and I have ended up with ruu_signed.nbh file, which I have uploaded for you all on Rapidshare and Mediafire.
However, I have not actually flashed my device with this ROM (since this is the current ROM on my device, and having no actual experience in flashing yet, the result might seem a bit ambigious to me) I would really appreciate it if someone would verify whether it actually works or not, so people don't heap curses on me if it doesn't... I'm just a newbie, remember.
So without further ado:

Mediafire:

This is exactly what i need! Hope its working for the both of us!

Hi,
I'm using HTC TOUCH HD (orange). I bought this handset from Scotland it was locked with orange only but i Unlocked this handset in india and now i'm using this handset with vodafone India.
Now this handset works gr8 for me but still i can see some settings are map with orange only. I heard if i update with international English ROM then my problem will get solved.
I have no idea about updating ROM. I read lots of blogs even i read on xda wiki also but not sure as its looks like if i update my ROM then i may lose my original ROM.
I have few question:
1. How to choose correct ROM for my handset.
2. Which is the right tool to take the Device backup.
3. If i'm unable to update with new ROM then will i lose my Original ROM.
Hereby i'm sending you my current ROM Version and release date
Current ROM Version: 1.1961.1 WWE
Operator Version: 34.119.1.611
ROM Date: 11/25/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26U
Your help will be highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest not doing it. If you can't read and search, then you can't flash a ROM.
hey dear. i also got my handset from UK with locked with orange. If u want to upgrade simply go for Cooked ROM's. Those original rom's are crap and cant use the full potential of ur handset.
I would suggest u go for Energy sense 2.1 21898 version.
u need to do just few things in order to flash a cooked rom. if u r ready then do let me know
the best way to take a backup is using PIM backup software
re ur 3rd question. once u flash a cooked rom u will never want to go back to ur original stock rom.
send me a pm whenever u r ready and confident to flash ur phone

it is a real simple process and once u do it u wont fear flashing it again & again
sorry for late reply Thank you so much for ur positive reply.
Could you please let me know from where i can get the currect ROM for my handset?
also please tell me who u did it with ur HTC TOUCH HD and does and don't if you have something before flashing ROM.
OK I have some time so let me try to put it as simple as I can.
First, there are 3 firmwares:
SPL -- This needs to be hacked to be able to change to any ROM
ROM -- You have the HTC official one and cooked ones
RADIO: you have 1.09, lastest are 1.13 / 1.14 / 1.17
The safest way is to use USPL, since it does not modify the SPL. You can always flash a ROM again.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
Download uspl_2.5.zip
Be aware that some antivirus flag the exe as dangerous, but that's because it contains an exploit for a buffer overflow.
If you're using Vista or 7, you need to change the drivers for HTC USB sync as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
Now power off the phone (long press power button)
Press volume down on the side, and power button
That should leave it in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen
Now connect it to the PC and run USPL
It should reboot and go back to the Red/Green/Blue/White screen but now it says USPL
The phone is ready to flash any ROM or any radio now.

In the forum you have links to many cooked ROMs, based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. WM 6.5 takes more RAM and it's slower than 6.1 (like Vista and XP). But most ROMs today are WM 6.5.
I have been used these two in the last months:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648831
The recomendation is to flash the HTC stock ROM first (that will also update the RADIO to 1.13.25.24). Then if you want to experiment, you can flash a cooked ROM.
Well,
My opinion: once you are addicted to ROM, I think HSPL would be the best way.
You can flash a ROM within 5 minutes or less. Also, using task29 is even more easier.
Cheers, my friend.

By the way, I'm back to Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1.
The difference in speed with a WM 6.5 ROM is too big. People should really consider give this one a try and see what I mean. On WM 6.5 even typing in keyboard is slow. Here you start with 37% RAM used, not 52%. And while using Opera, you have 55% RAM used, not 80%.
No way I'm going back to WM 6.5.
ok, I'm closing this thread now. In future could everyone direct users looking for flashing help to this thread.
