Restoring via RUU problem

I've got a Wing from T-Mobile and I was checkin' on HTC's site... I dont' see any RUU files for that particular phone... T-Mobiles site had an RUU for me but it requires an activesync connection,
Now I've gone and proper bricked the (insert bad word here) so it won't even make an activesync connection anymore,
I was tryin' to put a lite version of one of the touch IT releases on there, all i've got now is a solid white screen. Phone will make noise when it's slid open; and the screen has an auto timer dim, but no display....
The RUU I got off t-mobiles site runs off an exe (do they usually?) Problem with it is that it requires an activesync connection which the phone can't make at the momment because of it's current state...
Is there an alternative to activesync that would help me out in this case? I know when I effed up a Linksys router I was able to tftp the firmware, not sure if there is anything like that I can do in this case. It only happened this morning though and the phones not active anyway so I'm going to continue looking (It's awaiting activation but it's now the weekend so I've got at least 2 days to work on it anyway.)
You may notice; I'm entirely new to this however I did look into it enough to ensure that I had an RUU to begin with before I tried any of this... Also, I have a second wing that's still set the way it was @ stock... Would that help in any sense?
Another question I had is what exactly is a lite version; from my understanding it was WM6 w/o the bloat... I'm begining to wonder if it's an OS with no tools not even a phone tool (I wouldn't think so but maybe I misunderstood.)
Thanks for any and all help or even suggestions to resolving my first brick
Edit: I'm begining to think my option is to try to submit it under warranty but I'm sure they can look at whats currently on the phone and I've got a hunch that right there will get me an outta warranty fee...
Edit2: I may have wound up able to answer my own question, (I'm at work atm and don't have access to test anything till 9pm tonight so I thought I'd post incase I was overlooking something, or incase I was able to find something to help others.)

"If you had the same problems as I started with, and that it will not boot past the T Mobile screen, here is what you do.

Download the orignial T Mobile rom, it is on this website about 300 times (I guess I was not the only one). I am sure you have winrar, open up this file in winrar. There are 8 files inside of it. The one you are most concerned with is \RUU_signed.nbh this is the original operating system. Get yourself at a minimum a 128mb micro sd card. Format it to FAT32 and copy the before .nbh file to the root directory. Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh That way if you start with a brick, you can end up with a shining penny! So when it is bricked, you do a hard reset. Hold the camera button and the voice record button, then push the stylus in the reset button. as long as you pushed in the micro sd card in the slot, it will reload. When it asks you to push this button it, they mean the volume down button. After about 15 minutes, your brick is no longer bricked. It will do it's thing and then soft reset on its own. You are back to factory default, YEA!!! Remove the Micro SD card out at this point."

I will try this later, thank you.

Fixed it
What I didn't realize is that you can still install an RUU via USB w/o activesync through the phones bootloader and the EXE from the comp.
THanks for the help anyway

First Attempt; minor question..

Hey everyone I have just CID-Unlocked my phone with HardSPL 3.56.
I am about to flash Laurentius26 KDV10 but I don't know what mode my phone has to be in when I run KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
I know my phone must be connected, should the sync icon be green?
Should the Allow USB Connections box be ticked in the ActiveSync Options?
Should I be in bootloader?
Should I just be in the normal windows 6.1 today screen when I run KaiserCustomRUU.exe (The screen says the sim card is missing etc etc with a numpad)?
aaaand finally last one, should I hard-reset the phone before running KaiserCustomRUU.exe?
thanks a lot

Ok. Here's your freebie. But Check out the Top links in my Signature, Very Useful.
ActiveSync Must Be Green.
HardSPL MUST be installed.
Yes you want USB connections.
Bootloader, Doesn't matter.
Normal Today Screen, That's how I do it, but you CAN be in bootloader, but Most people start on the Normal Today Screen.
Is your SIM in?
Lastly, No, Don't Hard Reset until AFTER you Flash and are at the "tap here to set up your device" screen

O2 XDA Stellar: Booting problem following Windows Live install

Hi guys, need your help.
Short version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla WM6.0. tried to install Windows Live but had to soft reset before it ended. now stuck at the green boot screen.
what besides hard reseting can i do? i don't mind breaking the device if i have to, but i want my data back. particularly my text messages. everything else that i need is backed up.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
what i've tried:
- soft reseting a number of times
- remove SD card
- removing sim card
- removing Battery for a couple of minutes before putting it back in
- connecting USB cable. "nothing pops-up on computer"
- SMSing it. "it rings"
- pressing all buttons on surface of device.
no success
thanks for any help
Long version:
i own the XDA Stellar, running vanilla 6.0. today i downloaded Windows Live for windows mobile to update the one i already had on my device. while it was installing before it reached the end, i got a pop-up telling me that i was running out of space. and it just stayed like that, progress bar wouldn't move. so i went to the device deleted a couple of pictures and tried to cut/paste the voice notes from device to storage card. it refused to allow it. so i decided to soft reset.
when i did soft reset, it got to the green boot screen and is stuck there.
after along wait, i get a white screen telling me the device can't boot because i might have "turned off the device incorrectly" or installed an insecure software and that my only option is to hard reset and lose everything.
while am on the green boot screen, if i receive an sms, the phone actually rings. but thats basically all it does. when i connect the USB to my computer, nothing pops up.
anyway i can get access to the files directory?
Thanks

And no mention of a Hard-Reset?

are you saying that there is absolutely no way to read the memory on the phone beside doing it when the WinMobile OS is running right?
that sounds like a completely stupid design. its like having windows without a start disk that gives you access to a command prompt.
having to lose all your data over some OS data corruption is ridiculous
i would really appreciate it if anyone knows a way, even an expensive one.
i just had text messages from someone dear to me that passed away that i'd rather not lose.
thank you

Some other things to try
Yes you can check whether the sms messages are stored on the sim card (by putting it in another phone/using a sim card reader). On my TyTN II, the SMS Messages are stored there and it's only emails that use phone or memory card memory. You could also try removing the Sim before booting (one thing not on your 'tried' list but if all this fails, the only other thing I can think of short of a hard reset, is contacting Microsoft about their Windows Live software. There's a website for support of these products and Microsoft staff will actually get back to you (I had need to contact them over a bug in the email portion of their software some time ago). Best wishes

seeing as i have over 2000+ messages in there, i don't think the sim card could actually help me in this case.
but thanks anyway
i still can't believe they made a phone with a memory that could only be accessed through the OS

Including any additional way of accessing it uses up more storage memory for the relevant program and on a mobile device (unlike a desktop PC), that's very valuable space. Maybe some of your sms messages (the most important ones) may be on the sim - you have little to loose by checking. What about trying to boot it without the sim card in or contacting Microsoft as I mentioned? Not all your options have run out yet but you seem to write as if they are....

@Flying Kiwi
thanks for replying. i actually did try to boot it without the sim card after you suggested it. it didn't work.
and with regards to contacting Microsoft, i'll give that a go but i doubt they'll be able to help if people here can't. as we all know, XDA Developers kick ass.
with regards to checking the sim for the messages, i don't have a spare phone to try it on just now, and if i remember correctly, sim cards don't usually hold more then 15 text, though i might be wrong.
the thing is, the fact that my phone still rings when it receives a messages, kinda makes me think the OS is partially loading. i was hoping someone could suggest a way for me to force enough of it on to reach my files..
am starting to lose hope.. *sigh*
am really thankful to the people who have replied so far.
P.S. oh yeah, Flying Kiwi, could you give me a link to the WM6 support page that where people actually reply to you since i can't find any support besides that to MSDN account holders, either that or paying £200 for one single phone call that last upto 8 hours at which point it could just end up with them just telling me to hard reset. thanks

can anyone help me out here? anyone with a link or an email address i can get support from Microsoft for WM6?

i have a similar problem, is there anyway to get data from phone if the OS is corrupt and the system is stuck at the green bootup screen?
please say yes.

If you activesync before this happened yes you can get some info.

Tilt only gets to the screen that shows radio and stuff

Hi, I have a Tilt, my radio is 1.71.09.01, i have Spl 3.29.Hard, the thing is i cannot get in bootloader mode, and the only thing i get to see is the splash screen where the radio and other stuff is displayed. and nothing else, activesync does not detect the usb connection, and not being able to get into bootloader leaves the gold card method out of the equation, please, help me!!!

HTC Hera110 Dead, Tried everything. RGB Screen

Hello everyone.
1st of all, i'm so tired of searching in this whole forum regarding my issue. 2 days so far and no luck, so please if i missed some posts that would be unexpected.
If this post is not in the right place please mods relocate it because i couldn't get the main forum for my kind of phone.
I'm from Latin america, I got a HTC HERA110. I don't know if it's unlocked or not.
The main issue is that the phone is totally dead. The only thing i get is, i think is like a bootloader, it has RED, GREEN, BLUE screen and prompts and nothing more. I tried several key combinations with camera key, soft key, power key, even that little reset dot above SD slot. Nothing works. Only information i can get is this
IPL 4.24.0002
SPL 4.24.0000
I brought my ph to my local service provider tech support but they said there is no luck for my phone and i can't just leave it like this. But i know XDA-Devs are even better than those idiots. I got another HTC Juno (T-Mobile Shadow) and here i found several useful info and i started learning related to Windows Mobile based phones.
I read something regarding HardSPL and that stuff and since my IPL,SPL is greater than 1xxxx several posts explained i can go ahead and reflash the OS.
I tried that HardSPL stuff but most of them required to have the phone alive to store some cabs on it and install them so since my phone is dead, that's not gonna work.
So far i realized my ph is hardware similar to T-Mobile Wing, HTC P4350, HTC P4351, HTC P4350, HTC HERALD. So i decided to re-flash the whole OS...
So i tried to get some NHB files. I got the Original on T-Mobile Website and some others for HTC HERALD and HTC P4350. I actually tried with another one called HTC ATLAS.
My Ph is been connected to my laptop via USB. I got Windows 7 x64, i don't know if that is a problem. So i started trying all those RUU flashers.
Before 4%-5% of the proccess the screen on my ph prompted a progress bar and somehow it goes blank and i got some errors such like INVALID VENDER ID (with HTC ATLAS and T-MOBILE WING), INVALID MODEL ID (with HTC P4350), UPDATE ERRROR (with HTC HERALD).
I tried with that NHB tool to extract the NHB files ( this is, supposly, to fix INVALID MODEL ID) but it didn't work, after tried that one i got UPDATE ERROR. I even try with that GoldenCard stuff with an SD card but i couldn't even export the .img file, i got an error on the cmd lines and inside the Pearl Manager i can't fine XdaDevelopers packages.
At this time i'm really frustrated and so tired. I don't know if my ph is branded to any company here such like Movistar or whatever. The only thing i know is that every single thing i tried promptes errors.
I would really appreciate some help here. Thank you and the best lucks for you.

If you have a memory card, try to grab the rom you downloaded (the .nbh-file) and put it on the card. It should be renamed as heraimg.nbh.
I think the card has to be smaller than 2 GB.
Power on the phone with the camera button depressed until you see the rainbow screen.
If there's enough brain left in the phone it should find the rom image and ask you if you want to flash by pressing volume down. You have about 10 seconds before it tries to boot normally.
