Flash Stop at 1% trying to go back to Stock ROM

I have a problem and I've search the forums and search google and I find people with somewhat of the same situation im in... but the methods to fix them don't work.
My problem is,
I have a T-Mobile WING (Herald)
I am flashed on soft SPL with SPL 4.70.Yang
I am ROM flashed to Touch-It WM6.1
I want to flash back to the stock T-Mobile Rom
I run the Stock RUU and it enters the bootloader and at 1% the wing resets
I then get a connection error 260 and the flash will not proceed.
I have tryed restarting my device/computer. unplugging my usb putting in another slot... and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated I'm really unhappy with Touch-It and want to go back to stock and do some customization that way.

you need to extract the .nbh file from the stock rom using 7-zip or winrar on the ruu executable. Make sure you don't extract the spl.nbh file. I think the file you want is something like RUU_signed.nbh
then put it into your HardSPL folder and flash away

Yep. Besides, 4.70.Yang is a HardSPL, not a softspl. If you want the SPL to also return back to stock for warranty issues, then just use USPL along with the tmobile NBH. If not, do what fzzyrn said for the best results.

Go to post #2 and download the Herald-USPL-beta3
extract the nbh file from your rom and place it in the ruu folder that is located in the flash center folder.
run the utility.

The S620 is not a herald and every phone is different, so I'm not sure if we could help you out. Does your phone have a HardSPL? Have you used HardSPL before? Even if the activesync icon doesn't start trying to sync it doesn't mean that it's not connected, it just means that it has nothing to sync (since it's in bootloader mode.)

I FIXED
I Did These Steps:
I Turned My Phone Off
I Pressed The Camera Icon Button
I Turned The Phone On (no Loose The Camera Button)
It Got Into Boot Mode
I Plugged To The Usb Cable
I Oppenned The Ruu For My Phone Version
And Wowla Fixed
Thank You Guys For Your Help

The Answer is in a Careful Search
This post is being made to you about... a month too late. But that's because I just got the Wing yesterday and started trying out roms today. Anyway, ran into the same problem earlier today and found the answer in the forums. I've written the following for those who might need all the steps. In your case, read from step 3. Anyway, in case you still have this problem, here's what you do:
1. Hold camera button when pressing the soft reset to get into the bootloader; it should be in red blue green and white. something like that.
2. Connect the usb to the computer and run the stock RUU Utility (this can be found on the official t-mobile website. look under something like support/downloads for the Tmobile Wing)
3. When it hits the 1%, the phone will automatically restart. When it does this, it breaks the connection between the computer and the phone. At that instant, hold the camera button and the soft reset button. Then, when you let go of the reset button, it should go back to boot loader.
4. At this point, the Rom Utility should give you the error. Do not take out the battery as instructed. Just disconnect the usb, reconnect the usb, wait for the computer to recognize it (it should appear in my computer) and then just continue the utility.
Good luck. =)

i had the same problem flashing my P4350 yesterday. tried a lot of different things, the solution for me was:
1. start flashing from the bootloader
2. just to hold the camera button when the phone restarted after 1% (nothing else, no soft reset or anything).
this resulted in the phone restarting in bootloader again, and after that it just resumed upgrading the rom.

extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

Thank you for all your help
well after not sleeping all night yesterday now it's working
i don't even know how it began again to work
i did a flash of a stock rom it stopped at 10% then a hard reset (didnt work initially) then flashed again hardspl and it could do the hardreset.
im si happy it's working again
i don't count that much on se warranty
thanks again

Sometimes the problem is in the incompatibility of Hard SPL with your ROM. Same happened to me with Diamond. Only flash another rom and problem solved

If you can find the dowloaded .nbh file on your machine, you can copy it to your microSD card, rename it to Kovsimg.nbh and flash from bootloader that way.
However I couldn't find where the SEUS was saving the file.

Well my problem was very strange because i could flash the firmware through microsd or RUU successfully but it didnt boot. It just showed the logo for some seconds and rebooted again. I also tried many commands with mtty like task 28, task 2a (which make it just appear a white screen and nothing else). anyway the only thing to make it work was to hard reset and then flash the hardspl again...
after flashing the hardspl the hardreset began normally.

Does anyone know how to do the hardspls - Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"

New Rom

Hi everybody,
I've tried to install the new Rom6.5 from christian, but first, I have to do an Hard SPL.
I've followed these steps:

I've replced the .nbh file, but my phone still stands on 0%
on my computer is says ERROR[262]
When i choose the readme it says:
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
What does it actually mean, and what do I have to do now?
I have the original windows 6.1 on my Xperia, but I have the 'aligment problem'.
I need to align for more than an hour, and if I'm lucky....it goes on...but if not...maybe I have to align the *** thing another hour.
I've tried do to an hard, and soft reset. (hold down the little button on the back and push both silver keys on the front. and I've tried to hold the volume down while pressing the on/off button.
Who can help me?
If you can react in dutch, thats even better...
If not...Well...my english is not thát bad so....
Thank for advanced....

I would advice on reading this thread, but start at the beginning
restoring stock rom/stock spl is when you want to get back from customization for warranty reasons so I guess you started at the wrong end

Please provide better details.
What does your Bootloader screen show for SPL? (Soft reset phone and hold Volume Down before boot starts until you get to tri-colored screen)
1.33.00 or 1.83.Olinex, or?

Where it says SPL - 1.33.0000, if you successfully HSPL, it will say 1.83.Olinex.
I suspect you didn't verify your SPL flashed correctly before you attempted to flash the ROM? If so, this is not good.
Hard reset (Reboot phone and hold both Volume Keys before device starts to boot, and continue holding them untill you get to the white screen, then follow the prompts.)
If you can get back to stock with a hard reset, I suggest you go here and do some reading.
If it gets stuck at the same screen, you will need to find your stock ROM. You can hopefully find it from HTC's site with your Serial Number.
Once you get your stock ROM, connect your phone to your PC and go to Bootloader. Once it displays 'USB' instead of Serial, run the .exe for your stock ROM.

i tried to dl stock ROM from HTC.com, but it says:
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
im not sure if im on the right side, but there are only 4 options...
i downloaded original update, but from other side and while phone was connected to PC with Red green blue screen i opened the RUU everything went good until status bar (on PC and phone appeared status bar with % as it started installing, but then error) :/

So hard reset was unsuccessful?
Try flashing from SD card.
Right click on the Stock ROM and Extract to a folder.
Place the ruu_signed.nbh file renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and then enter bootloader.
This will initiate the flash and hopefully it won't get stuck at 0%
You can also do this with the .nbh file from hspl.
Perhaps you should try to do HSPL .nbh first, because your OS is locked, it will ONLY accept the exact replacement ROM.
Also, I would suggest taking some time to read and learn about this stuff before diving in head first.
The link I provided previously is very thorough.
Take a look at the MTTY thread after you read about flashing and HSPL.

in bootloader it flash for 0,1 sec and says "Unable to load imagefile" or sth like that

Make sure it is 'TOPAIMG.nbh' exactly without quotes.
What was the error you received when you attempted from your PC?

its exactly like that,
it can be any ROM? becouse i have rom with nbh + exe files and with nbh only

No, unless you get HSPL to flash first.
If you successfully installed a ROM, it would not boot up because your OS is still locked.
Use this .nbh which is for HSPL 1.83. If you can get this to flash, do the same with HSPL 2.51, then you can flash to any ROM.

i think im lost.
can you please explain me, what should i copy to my SD card and what to do (in oredr)
thanks

Download the SPL 1.83.zip and extract the .nbh file.
Rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh and place on SD card
Enter bootloader mode and pray.
With luck, it will complete to 100%
Then you go back to bootloader and VERIFY your SPL says 1.83.Olinex. (This is the step you skipped before you attempted to flash a ROM, and you have bricked your device as a result)
Without luck, it gets stuck at 0%
Then you need to read up on MTTY to recover your device.
If you think you have your EXACT stock ROM, you can do the same with the .nbh file you extract from that, as previously instructed and get back to stock first before worrying about HSPL.
Basically HSPL unlocks your OS to be able to accept updates. Without it, you can only update from the stock image.
So your choices are, to try to HSPL, or try to get back to stock. Both can be done the same way, in bootloader using respective .nbh file.
I think you are looking to shortcut this stuff and it will only lead you to headaches, unless you take some time to read and learn.
Now, you never did answer;
Did you attempt a hard reset?
What was the error you received when you ran the RUU from your PC?

so i renamed that file, put it on card, card to phone, pushed VolDown and turned on. It flashed with loading and then again "No image file" and back to boot screen
i did few hard resets
error when i tried that "official ROM" was that: Error 294: Invalid render ID
This update cannot be aplied on this device
i try older ROM

Alight, your 294 error indicates its the wrong ROM for your device.
No Image File indicates that bootloader isn't recognizing the file.
Make sure your SD card is formatted to Fat32, you may want to try a 2-4gb card just to be sure. Sometimes larger cards get errors.
Since you can't find your stock ROM, you need to get the HSPL.nbh to load first.
If you can get the 1.83.Olinex to flash, continue the same process for HSPL 2.51 .nbh file.

so i did everything dled you file, formated card, put your file on card renamed turned on phone and now its stucked on loading (if i made something wrong tell me) couse im not sure

i connected phone with pc and try to instal Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL but its stucked on 0%

Well, we got it to recognize the image which is good.
Sounds like you did everything correctly, it just doesn't always work.
I think you have 3 options here;
1. Try to find your stock ROM and flash either from PC in bootloader or from SD card.
2. Read about MTTY and how to use it to flash to your phone and recover, but I still think you need your stock ROM to do this.
3. Warranty return- just tell em it froze, don't mention what you have done to it.
I have one other thing we can attempt here.
Download the enclosed file and unzip it to your PC.
Connect phone to PC and go into bootloader, then run Task29.exe.
With any luck this will force it to load HSPL.
Let me know what happens.

i tried ROMUpdateUtility, task29everything seems to work, but alwways stucks on 0%...
úroblem is, that my phone isnt originaly mine, i bought it from one guy, (couldnt be problem that it is MDA Compact V?)

[Q] Pure bricked?

I don't know if this topic is covered but I could not find and exact thread for this.
I used an HTC Pure on AT&T for some time and I flashed several ROMs as they were updated on XDA. I recently switched to Verizon and HTC Incredible and wanted to try and sell my Pure. What I did not do before I ported my number to Verizon was reset my phone. Now that the existing SIM card is invalid, I tried flashing the phone without it to the original AT&T ROM for Pure. Apparently there were some issues and the flash did not complete. I tried flashing it to cooked ROM (Energy) but still the flash did not complete.
The flash starts properly and then midway the phone restarts and I get a message saying that the update was not successful and that I should try again. Same thing happens when I try again. This message shows up on the boot screen (tri-colored screen). I have tried flashing via the SD card and CustomRUU. The official ROM comes as an .exe and I run is on my computer and the same thing happens. Sometimes it just keeps repeating the update process on its own erroring out every time before restarting the update process (on its own).
I don't understand any of this so I turn to you guys. Please let me know how I can fix this, if I even can.

Flashing w/o the SIM should not be an issue.
At what point during the boot process does it freeze? On the HTC Startup animation or bootscreen?
It perplexes me that the flash doesn't complete.
I am going to suggest following;
1. Take out SIM and SD Card and battery.
2. Replace battery and perform hard reset.
3. Take your stock ROM .exe, right click and extract to a folder on your PC.
4. Download the enclosed Topaz Task29 and unzip to your PC.
5. Replace the .nbh file in the Topaz Task29 folder with the RUU_Signed.nbh file from your stock ROM.
6. Go into Bootloader mode while connected to PC and wait for USB to show on the bootloader screen.
7. Run Task29.
If you are trying this from a Vista or Win7 machine, I suggest trying to find one running XP. Also make sure your battery has 50% or greater charge and turn off all AVs and hibernate and\or screensavers.
Hope this helps.

hey thanks ... i'll try that tonight and update here ... the flash process never freezes actually ... what happens is that the flash does not complete in some cases and restarts my phone .. goes to the bootloader screen and when it says either SERIAL or USB ... it gives the error message above ...
of course there was a time in this whole process when i did get the flash to complete ... at that time the boot process froze at the HTC screen ...

What SPL are you currently on? (baardya)

Didn't get a chance to try Bruce's solution. Will do that tomorrow.
I have 2.51 ... (cant be sure of the number, but i have the one higher than 1.83)
'Incredible'ly, Baardya

I performed the steps mentioned and flash was completed successfully. But on the restart, the phone freezes at the AT&T World Phone screen. It does not move ahead. Any ideas?

that happened to me a while back, try hard-reset, remove sd and sim, flash again with RUU, hard reset once more, replace cards.
Also try this cab (i know I had to use it at one point, might have been for hspl though), forget exactly what it does, but Bruce might know.

After i wrote the above message, I tried to flash the official ROM again, without the steps mentioned by Bruce (just directly) amd I believe it worked.
Thanks again.
