Sounds like a corrupt image. Re-download the DREAIMG file.

Is this a US phone, UK phone or what? UK version needs a different DREAIMG.nbh file. Other Europe versions need a goldcard.

help appreciated!

Hi wondered if anyone could help me. Am new to pocket pcs, just got my hands on an xda2s, have started to get through the different threads and get my head around it. Decided that the first thing to do was to update the rom to the latest 02 rom. Went online, downloaded the update, plugged in the cradle to the computer etc. followed instructions like backing up info, soft reset etc. Clicked update and then an error occured where it could not update the radio rom. The computer message told me to unplug the cradle, perform a soft reset which i did and run the programme. Trying not to panic too much i followed each step and again the same thing has happened. In fact it looks like it has wiped my xda as it does nothing at all now except read serial v2.07. Anyone got any advice about what I can do? I've paid alot of money for a brick at the moment and after day 3 of owning it, I'm not doing too well! Please help if you can!!!!
have you tried the FAQ?
Have you checked the FAQ?

Have fun :wink:
I did read through the FAQ. The problem that I have seems to not be the rom that I used, I even tried to use a different rom just so that it would make my xda useale. Nothing seems to be working! anyone else got an idea?

What operator are you on? All of the recent ROMs do not work on Orange UK. The phone and txt message functionality is broken.
As for not showing the ROM version, this always happens after a crash. Just reset again as soon as you see "NONE".
am a bit lost here.
am on orange UK and evreything works ok with this rom.
just thought i point that out.
opps,thats all rom's since mid november
TEXT,PHONE BLUETOOTH WIFI.

Before you complain that users cant help you, try helping yourself. You will find that people are more willing to invest their time then!

Wierd, you are the first to come forward to say that it works fine for you. Myself and a couple of other users haven't been able to get reliable telephony for months now. It may be a regional thing, perhaps only in Scotland. I've had replacement phones and I still have problems.
No one seems interested in helping as it's not something that can be easilly tested unless you have the problem yourself.
i was looking for hte downgrade link ill give that a go tomorrow, as tot he person that said i should try helping, how can i help if i dont know anything? we all need to learn and start somewhere. think ill be staying away from here with my spvm600 if thats the attitude this place is takeing.
Hey, it wasn't intended at you, obviously. What I was basically saying was that if you have the same problem, then don't expect a fix as it's a tough one to fix.
could it happen that you are one of those who downloaded the rom which someone had the gall to replace the original one? which rom upgrade did you use?
i cant remmeber what rom it was that i used now as it was about 2 months ago i done it, ive tried the downgrade link that was posted and when i open maupgrade it dosent see any rom on my device or any in the folder and when i click up grade it takes about 10 sconds then says tis done, which is obviously isnt dont, any mroe ideas please people?

use one of the latest (i.e. helmi's or xplode's) and upgrade again. be sure to follow the instructions (including that for device data, and the no/yes/yes input). make sure also you were able to download the whole file (it was a problem for some users).
you might also want to upgrade your radio version (1.15.00).
good luck.

If anyone can help me i will donate!

Hi everyone,
Since yesterday, i learned how to flash spl, and download roms and run them through RUU. I was unsucessful at first because of my firewall being on, and was able to flash roms without a problem after turning it off.
I wake u this morning, and tried flashing a new rom and I end up getting error [204] again. I checked everything from firewall, antivirus to even moving the .nbh folder to system 32, and still no luck. I wanted to reflash the phone back to the original TMOBILE rom, but it wont flash. HELP!
Iv been on since 11am this morning trying to research what im doing wrong, and rereading the "flashing roms for noobs" thread over and over.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciate and I will send money through paypal if you can help, this is driving me nuts!

Make sure that you don't have any special characters in your folder that's containing the customRUU file (?, %, $...).
Also, run the CustomRUU as an Administrator.
And then, if those don't work, IM me: AIM (ace10134) or Live Messenger ([email protected])
Ace to the rescue as always. Lol

Ah, I thought I'd reply quick enough for it to go in the future, lol. But I'm still waiting to hear from this guy, I'm eager to hear if anything worked.
Sometimes something similar happened to me when battery way lower then 50%.
If this is not the case, try this -
rename the *.nbh file from the rom to RHODIMG.nbh.
Copy this file to your storage card, to the root.
turn off your phone.
press VOlume down (do not release it) and start the phone
FOllow onscreen instructions and flash the rom.
I guess it worke the guy does'nt even have the time to say thanks!! LOL.

Installed wrong nbh file help!!!

Ok first off I am really sorry for the stupidity and should have paid more attention. I was flashing the NBH on my Tilt 8925 and I got the wrong one! it was the KAISIMG-PANEL1-428.NBH that I downloaded and now the text is hard to read and it wont install and I cant change it. Right after I did that I found the forum that told you witch one to use. I wanted to cry!!! So what I'm asking is my phone done for? or is there a way to fix this? like through the andboot folder somehow?
Thank you for any help at all!!!
you learn from your mistakes though, I'm sure I wont do that again
Fixed it! :d
After I gave up I remembered someone said to hold the camera and the power button and reset buttons. I did that just to see what it would do and the colored screen came up with usb at the bottom. so I triad the right file and ran it again and it worked! Now I'll have to give it another go!
so this can be deleted now Thanks!
Just for future reference.
If you flash the wrong nbh with android, you should be able to flash the correct one using either the SD method, or the USB method.
Above all, do not panic, panic bricks more devices than bad flashes ever did
Since this is the Android area, I must say we are extremely lucky, since we are able to flash a new nbh without losing anything at all as far as the OS is concerned, your data and system files will remain intact, flashing an android nbh only replaces the zImage and the android bootloader files, unlike WM where you flash the whole OS and lose everything
Android
That's good to know because I thought I lost the phone for good. I didn't have any data on it that I needed, I was trying to install android to nand and just got the wrong NBH.
The only thing now that would keep me with WM 6.5 is cant get the wifi to work right. It connects to the router but the internet cuts out very bad, like it will work for 10 seconds then cant get it to work at all for 20min then it will load a web page then doesn't work again!
I did the same thing to my Tilt. I downloaded the Kaiser for Super Eclair and flashed it and did not not know I did not flashed the HardSPL.nbh.
I finally figured it out and flashed the HardSPL.nbh. It is at 3.29 right now. But I the phone keep getting error after the penguin screen with scrolling text. It said something about unable to read data. How do I fix this problem?

Jesus... the last post is more the 1year old.
I know you must search, but if the last post is that old, the probability that everything in it is outdated, is near 100%.
Well, that is the what I found. I hate digging up old post especially when it's that old.
