[Q] ROM Flashing from PC on Mac - not working

I am trying to flash the ROM on my Touch Pro 2 before I sell it. I am running windows XP on a mac using Parallels 5.0. I have tried running the ROM update when active sync is connected and all starts ok then I get error 226 saying cannot connect. I then tried flashing straight from a newly FAT32 formatted microSD card and that jsut stocks on with a Loading message. So I tried flashing Hardspl, although I think that I have done this before when I still had a pc, but that failed with a connection error too. Any tips/advice anyone?

You need to provide more information. Are you trying to flash a custom ROM, and which one? What ROM are you running now? What version of the phone do you have/what carrier?
If you are still HardSPLed, the second line of text on the bootloader (tri-color) screen will say "OliNex", probably saying "SPL-0.85.Olinex". If it doesn't say this, the SPL is locked, and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
If you are trying to flash the stock ROM, I think some people have been having trouble doing so with the phone HardSPLed. But it may depend on what stock ROM. I am able to flash the Euro stock ROM just fine on my HardSPLed phone.

ok, i'll try to answer your request for more info:
trying to flash Energy Rom build 23699.
Existing ROM version is listed as 2.07.401.1 (80303) WME dated 2/4/10.
Phone is an unbadged HTC Touch Pro 2 as sold by Tmobile etc in UK.
Can't see any mention of OliNex on bootloader screen, so perhaps I didn't unlock= it after all. Certainly no T mobile stuff left on the phone now.

Don't know off hand what ROM that you have installed right now. What do the boot screens look like when you start the phone? Also, what does the bottom row of red letters say, when you startup the phone?
If it doesn't say Olinex on the bootloader screen, you are not HardSPLed. Either you never did it, or you relocked it.
Run HardSPL, and you should be able to flash from the SD card no problem.

Redpoint. Thanks for your replies and interest. I have tried to run HardSpl but this fails with a 260 connection error, even though Activsync is synced and connected. Id this to do with running a virtual pc on a mac perhaps?

Your welcome, hope my advice is helpful.
HardSPL is pretty finicky, even on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. I think running it on a Mac is difficult or even impossible. You can search the HardSPL thread and see if anyone was able to get it to run on Mac. I'm pretty sure I read different users on that thread mentioning issues with running HardSPL on Mac.
My best advice would be to run HardSPL on a friend's Windows XP system, if possible. It usually runs smoothly on XP, and only takes a couple minutes.

Yes, that confirms my suspicions. I will try it frommy partners windows XP netbook whenshe gets home. Fingers crossed.
Will let you know how I get on and if I need any more help!

please help... what is the differentiates between NODO and flash

Hello, I hope not to bother them with this question, but I am very confused, I have already consulted much in different forums: which differentiates between NODO and flash, I have a HTC HD7 device and need to know if FLASH and update NODO is the same, if after I upgrade to node I can run a released ROM Spanish to my phone? my phone is Tmobile; or will I have to deal with the system of Goldcard? thanks and I hope to answer

NoDo is the Windows Phone 7 updated OS......Flash im guessing you mean flashing the phone with a rom.........u check this thread to get an idea...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019

Nodo Is an Official Windows Phone 7 Update from Microsoft.
Flash means you install the OS for your phone. Like you install Windows for your PC, but we call it "Flash A ROM" for a Phone. It basicly has the same meaning, "Install the OS for the device", just different in the way we call it.
Anytime you installd a new Update for your phone, you have "flashed" your phone. With Windows Phone 7, you don't have to flash it manually, you have Zune flash your phone for you.
BTW, "Flash" your phone is a dangerous job, make sure you do exactly every single step if you don't want to turn your phone into the most beautiful brick you have ever had.

ROM downgrade

Is there any possibility for downgrading OS 7392 to 7004 or 7008 so i can chevron unlock it and then update it on 7392 again? I found many topic's about that but not exact answer on it.

if you update your device maybe you have your back up on your computer.
by using last back up you can downgrade your device.if there isnt any back up on your competer,you should change your device rom!!

Yes it can be done i did it on mine about 2 months back
Here's what I did:
> Downloaded and Flashed RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar
I think I got an error at the end of Flashing (which was supposed to happen)
> Then Downloaded and Flashed RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
This effectively put me back to a Pre-Nodo ROM (can't remember if it was 7004 or 7008). I then Chevron Unlocked it, and installed the ProvXML that prevents it from Re-locking. This allowed me to update to Nodo via Zune and my device remains unlocked allowing me to use Windows Phone Device Manager and such. I must confess though my phone seems to crash and bomb out considerably more than it used to before doing the above (it amlost never crashed out previously.) This might just be me being Paranoid though....

Audio i manage to downgrade to 7004 by ansar but i am not getting any nodo form zune was there any trick to getting zune updates

No nothing in between that's pretty much all i did and Zune notified me of the update straight away. Mine was in UK so don't know if that has anything to do with it? :S

well i tried the force update method as well and no luck seems like i am stuck with 7004

I done everything perfectly,but when i come to the part for editing registry i stuck on 4. spot in this manual http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169
Can someone explane me better this part what i really need to do?

i have a problem i cant install the rom even if i first installed the one signed by ansar and then the Schubert Release on after that, i get an errorcode 294 which means its the wrong rom, what am i doing wrong?

[Q] DFT Mango Roms aren't unlocked

hi there,
I've tried some DFT Mango versions (7713, 7714) on my HSPL HD7 and they're both working great. Altough they're listed as unlocked, I can't install homebrew Apps. Error notifications like Tom XAP Installer's "Please make sure your phone was unlocked!" appear
There are a plenty of comments confirming the functionality of those Rom's, but in my case it doesn't work. Anyone out there having the same issues (and solutions) ?

The roms are unlocked. Try using Xapdeployx or Application deployment(Windows phone developer tools) for sideloading apps. Tom's xap installer no longer works with mango roms

Thank you for your answer
I've tried Xapdeployx and Application deployment, but they both tell me, my phone is locked. I'll look that up, too, but perhaps you can help me one more time?

I worked it out now. I downgraded from 7714 to 7713 again and tried XAPDeployX once more. Fortunately, it installs all my apps without any error thanks

"If you have any of the 0x89xxxx errors, please download the attached "vs_sdeprolightup-enu.zip" file and run it."

DFT 7714 install
How hard is it to install the custom Rom on HD7S? I'm kind of worried with all this hspl rspl stuff I don't really get it! Can someone make a video or maybe a clearer right up? Also does the rom have wifi tether or eve usb tether?

Rom is unlocked, you have to update zune to version 4.8, after that you will be able to install apps

I've HSPL'd my HD7S but as far as I know there are no custom roms out there for the HD7S... am hoping someone will try before I risk anything!

Whats the point of HSPL the HD7S? Will this hinder you from receiving the official mango update on 9/23?

I was hoping that someone would cook a Mango ROM that is unlocked... but so far no dice.
My device is running Mango per the update thread that is knocking around... via Zune 4.8 beta etc rather than flashing a new ROM.

[Q] Howto upgrade to Mango unlocked with broken SPL

I've been trying to upgrade to Mango and keep my phone unlocked but havent been able to do that following the information on this site. It is all so complicated and seem's to have many different ways blended together, most including ROMS. I'm requesting a simple instructions on upgrading my SPL broken (half bricked) Chewron-unlocked and unbranded HD7 from 7392 to Mango. ... if that's possible?
I've been trying to use U2M7720 but I cant run connection setup after upgrade, and phone is locked in Mango. I have a few backups of my phone and can go back to 7-29-2011 if that helps? (Tried to go there and update all the way to Mango, hoping it would fix the SPL, but it didn't.)

look here...
People I've made ​​it!!
"HALF bricked" True times ...
I have an HD7, and yes I had no boot loader more ...
My WP7.5 Mango has even worked ...
Have performed the unlock of ChevronWP7 Labs.com [leads,
then I've done with a backup (Windows Mobile 7 BackupV1.6)
and then by draufgespielt (WP7 Update Cab station) firmware (schubert_2250.21.50001.728)!
And then I have my HD and started in Boadloader un behold
My Boadloader is back! HURRAY
Is indeed not at all .... How COOL!

Thanks!
Thanks! I'll try this. I have all the files except the firmware itself. Still loocking.

Need a step by step guide.
