flash to new helmi rom from WM5 incomplete

I will probably deserve a flaming for these questions but i have searched and have read the wiki as completely as i can.(i have reading large amounts of info problems)
trying to upgrade my original BA wm2003 (upgraded to WM5 from this website months ago) to the latest helmi rom.
i have lost my original device data note i was sure i backed up.
1. cannot understand the proceedure for changing the operator info from command window with setoperator??
2. seems to be a program left out cusTSK it wont transfer the normal way and says beacause it is read only **edit now ok because i copied directly to SD card using card reader.**
3. i have tried to put the device into bootloader screen but then activesync is not active and i get a connection error.
4. when i try to flash with BAupgrade i get a error 100: model ID error but i cant find any descriptions of what to do next on google or these forums.
i have read the readme's several times and i just cant see where im going wrong.
this is about the 5th hour of trying and i think my head is going to explode.
so if you have time to explain/flame(dont hold back either) me where im going wrong, i will be very grateful.

How to set operator - revised edition (by me )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291426

ok thanks for that.
i am assuming this is a nesscessary proceedure to complete or the upgrade wont work at all?
and it doesnt make sense but i need to know,
if the device came as a MDAIII from T mobile i need to set the operator to the t-mobile code?
or
now i previously unlocked the PDA to any network but i use orange, i need to set it to the orange operator code?

ok i have flashed the rom ok please no need to post solution.

Attempted WM5 Rom upgrade and got stuck!!!

Hey Guys i would need some help here i downloaded the Helmi upgrade rom but didnt seem to work. i get the device connection error before it even starts
i downloaded the official rom that i found on this forum on this link
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe
as u can c this is the one from the Imate website when i attempted to install it. it actually didnt give me a connection error and started to install but when the PDA rebooted i got that connection error back and now i am stuck at the bootloader screen with SERIAL written at the top and V. 2.06 at the bottom tried to soft and hard reset but nothing seems to happen i even disconnected the battery for 30 minutes but couldnt get it to boot
Anybody pleeeeeease heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx

Please give us more information.
What windows are you running? XP or Vista?
Do you have an error number?

I run windows Vista and the error number i get is 101 Connection error when i attempt to run BaUpgradeUT
on the PDA the only screen i fet is the bootloader screen with SERIAL and V.2.06

Ok, the problem in flashing our precious BA under vista is that you need to replace the usb driver with an old version so the updater will work correctly.
Search the forums for vista update or vista flash and you will get the answer and the driver you need.

thanks a lot i ll try it right now been waiting for this

OK i just searched for vista flash and found this post

And one more thing i have to thank Duanes who posted up the vista upgrading manual linked above Thank you

Problem upgrading to wm6 - wm6.1

I have a blu angel device but i can' t upgrade to wm6 - wm6.1 , i followed the tutorial and i tried the rom linked and other different roms but the problem is the same : i read the error message "this rom is not designed for your device"
I have a xda IIs Starmap Mobile Alliance and the rom version is 1.40.04 ita.
anyone has some idea?

i hear you, i had the same problem, all the roms said either it was "for another device" or i got a country id error. in my experience, there are two things you gotta do to avoid those errors:
1. Use BaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe (the noID version ignores the country id and stuff)
2. before reflashing, make sure to put your device in bootloader mode, following these steps: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_BootloaderMode
and just to avoid a common mistake i also stepped in, don't try flashing your device on windows vista, mine got stuck in bootloader, because vista seemed to download a "newer driver" while flashing and i had a connection error, already thought, i bricked it somehow.
good luck with that, and don't hesitate to ask if you need further help

Done ! The problem was bootloader mode. First time i though my device was in bootloader but probibly it was not...

New post again, error 260 HARDSPL

Hello,
After 3 posts without answer in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
I hope someone can help, see below
repost
Hello,
I read the tutorial here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 for SD card only (I'm not a windows OS user)
and try to change my rom for the official HTC win 6.5 FRA but in bootloader mode I only get a white screen with a message in blue "Loading..." and nothing else after 40 min!!
Note: My TP2 is NOT branded
Did I miss something?
I went to the HARDSPL using a friend's laptop with activesync. The tutorial says activesync must be connected to the phone when launching HARDSPL. Once I launch HARDSPL, the connection by activesync is lost and I got ERROR 260
I have tried with activesync on XP and the new application on win &..All same error

I don't think this post is going to last long, since the thread where you originally posted was the correct place for it.
You said you had no answer, but that's not true, you had at least one answer from mskip, and I also made a suggestion to which you made no response other than asking if you should give up.

hi,
I did answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540&page=45
Even tried: "- anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL without functional USB port ("ERROR 260 CONNECTION" RUU error), you can get SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from attachment in this post, copy it to the *device* itself and run it. then once the screen is showing black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and select Manual"
And same error code 260

It is a GSM phone, right ? Not a Worldphone (CDMA/GSM, which has a SIM card slot but needs a CDMA HardSPL and ROM) ?

Hi,
Yes It's a GSM (with simcard)..I guess.. How to find it out?

Carrying on this discussion in the ROM-flashing sticky, no need to duplicate it here.

No further update possible?

I have succesfully upgraded my Tmobile MDAIII to Win 6.1 via the mentioned above method. And now I want the start-button-in-the-bottom
So I downloaded the image file, put MDA into a bootloader, plugged it into craddle, started maupgradeut_noid and... the second screen didn't show any data about the device. (in FAQ "something went wrong, start over again" is advised). Several attempts were of no use. The fresh XP SP3 also didn't help. What is wrong??
By the way, the official upgrading software (that one that shows Invalid country ID later) does show the device info screen correctly.

you should re-download the rom and the RUU and try again. in general, the way you're doing it, is right. remember to take out the sim and sd card though or you might mess up your radio.
i would say, i know everything, there is to know, when it comes to flashing the BA, and still last weekend i spend hours on up- and downgrading, because sometimes, it just wouldn't show the info, mostly, when a download was corrupt, although no error message was given.

You were right, it was the radio-file. When I deleted it everything went as it should. But the radio still needs an update I think (I've 13th version) since the bugs are freaking me out sometimes.
Thank you!
