I have been happily flashing ROMs on my T-Mo TP2 for a while now. But a couple of days ago, the RUUs stopped working on my computer. Every time I click on one (and allow Vista to run it), I get a pop up that says "ROMUpdateUtility has stopped working" and Windows searches for an update, but never finds any. This happens with all ROMs I try to flash, and rebooting doesn't do anything. I'm running Vista 64 bit. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Right click on the RUU. Go to properties. Compatibility Tab. Run the file as Windows XP SP2 and as a admin. See if that fixes your issue.
It doesn't. Thanks for the advice though. I'm running Windows Update to see if anything in there might help.
Why not flash the ROM via SD card instead. It's much faster and actually recommended Check the First Time ROM Flashing sticky on page one of this forum.
I guess I'll do that from now on. Thanks eras2r. Still any other suggestions would be welcome.

I have found that the following solution worked for me first time trying it!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5446546#post5446546
It is related to the folder being named something with a space. Try it out!!

Take my words, bro. It's a lot easier and safer to flash via SD Card, compared to through buggy Activesync (RUUpdater may not buggy, Activesync does). It's a lot easier and convenient most of the time I do flashing while I do "morning ritual" in my toilet, in the morning. LoL

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.

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.

I got the same error message. I tried to change operater, but that didn't do the trick, so I'm still on the case
Edit: I'm normaly using Windows Vista, but I still have my XP installation, so I tried to boot in XP an run the upgrade from there. This worked fine, so mayby it's a problem with Vista althroug it should work. So my best advice is to try reboot you system, i know it's not alot of people who runs dual boot systems as standart

What WM do you have? Shoud I try to Revert back to Wm2003 and try like that?
I upgraded from Helmi's Aku 3.2 to Xplore's 3.5 R4. If you have the posibility, try to connect your BA to anothor PC and run the update from there, I think it's a problem caused by Windows on the specific pc.
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.

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!
Hi. I already did a search for this but didn't find any help for a Herald.
I tried updating to 6.1 and it would not work. It would start to install but then crash and start over again. I probably tried 20 times and it would not work...not my phone is stuck on this screen with Red, Green, Blue and White stripes. Is my phone dead? Is there any hope? Thanks in advance!
This question is asked at least one or 5 times a week. Please search.
If your SPL still says 4.0.0.0, just flash another ROM. Assuming you have HardSPL setup or you were using USPL.
If your SPL says 1.0.0.0, then follow this.
Sorry like I already mentioned in my post I could not find a thread specifically for the Herald so I made a post.
My screen says IPL 4.26.0002 and then SPL 4.26.0000.

There's a million threads on this for the Herald.
Anyhoo, have you tried just reflashing back to the stock ROM or another ROM?
Tell me exactly what you did to flash.
Went to T-Mobile site. Typed in my phone's info and downloaded the 6.1 update for Windows Mobile...followed the instructions to install. It would start installing and then stop or crash I can't remember exactly. But I tried many times. I called T-Mobile and they said I had to get a new phone. I've never flashed my phone or anything like that...I had Spb installed on it and that was it...
Well I took out my ol Wing and tried to do the update once again to remember what error I keep getting.
The update starts to install on my Wing as the bar loading bar starts to fill it stops and then tells me an error has occurred.
ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR
Some type of communication error. But I can recover. So I do and then I try again. I've done this like 20 times before. I don't know if that helps any but thats my problem...
First, find hardspl and flash then flash rom

Sounds like there's a problem with your computer talking to the phone. Try taking tmobile's ROM, take out the NBH, rename it to HERAIMG.nbh and place it into your SD card (formatted to FAT32.) Then turn on your phone while holding the camera button.

Wait...so I'm a noob...T-Mobile's ROM? Where do I get that? Do you mean the update file that I downloaded from T-Mobile? Thanks again!!! I hope this works! And will MS-DOS FAT work when I format the card? I am using Mac's Disk Utility and I don't get a FAT32 option.
Well I think I have the ROM actually. It's an EXE file so I'm not sure how I can go into it and rename a file inside of it. Sorry...my noob is showing huh? Here's what I downloaded awhile back that I think is the original ROM you are talking about.
RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe

No problem. ^_^ Glad to hear that it worked. Were you able to flash it through a FAT format? Or were you able to format it to FAT32?
Greetings everyone,
I would like to ask for some advice.
I bought a HTC TYTN II and wanted to flash it to a ROM I found on the forum.
But to do that I had to use nueSPL-2.47.exe
That turned out to be a mistake as at the moment it started formatting to FAT32 the screen freezed. And I waited for around 15min. But nothing happend.
Now needless to say the device does not function. I tried a hard reset(Camera+Power+Reset) and just (Reset). But all I get is a screen darker than the pits off hell.
I am able to get the power light burning but that is it. Already tried putting the battery out and in again. But all to no avail. Maybe one of you can help me?
Thank you in advance.

Just a thought but...you might want to check the Kaiser forum instead...
Posted in Titan forum. Moved to Kaiser forum.
You flashed a Titan SPL to your Kaiser?
Oh dear, not to worry, it might be fixable...
Can you get to your Bootloader?

Confused "Tytn" with "Titan", too bad.. That's already happened, if you search for "nuespl" in the Kaiser forum you should find a thread about someone else who had the same problem recently.

uh oh... what was your radio version? does the PC still try to load a driver when you connect the phone?
Wrong firmware now that explains things.
It seems that the soft/hard reset and boot loader are not working for me. All I ever get is the power light and no screen at all.
Just my luck.
My phone was a 3G version.
When I connect it via USB it does try and load drivers but it does not find the correct drivers. While the phone was ok the drivers were fine.
Strange.
I sure hope I do not have to send it to my supplier. Because the phone is just 2 weeks old ;-)

3G, okay, all of them are 3G... do you remember exact radio version. no problem if not, though.
Sorry I do not know the exact number.
I was able to install the drivers. So thanks for that.
But If I try and get onto my phone I have no folders. And active sync does not see the device. Maybe I need to use a program like artemis to get files on there?
There is of course a change I might be able to get files on there by putting my SD card in a card reader.
But does it boot from there?
Pocket controller-pro did not work for me.
