Newb Wing Help!

I've read tons of posts on here about flashing the Wing and I've still be unable to flash it correctly, during the flash it will get some type of ITWRITE error then my phone will have a box on the screen that says error unknown status, I let it sit then my pdocwrite pops up that error and then it will lose the USB connection to the computer and be locked up then I have to RUU it to make it work again, SPL is 4.28.0001, I'm just trying to put some new firmware on it to make it run better than the stock t-mobile firmware, all these posts are here are confusing me on what to do because some are outdated or I'll read one thing then something else I'll read contradicts itself, can someone point me in the right direction, I know that you have guides and things but half of them are outdated and I'm not even sure what the latest firmware is for things like OpenTouch and what not, I wish someone would clean up all the old posts so we don't have quite as much to dig through. Any help would be appreciative.

you're trying to flash using aserg's method, which is painfully outdated and you've got an SPL of more than 4, so you should just go ahead and HardSPL.
in the windows mobile world, NEVER read the outdated stuff, especially on xda-devs. somebody always asks some question that requires one of us to go back into the deep recesses of our memory, and that kind of question usually happens pretty often. Most answers are either really specialized or there is already thread on the topic on the first or second page of the forum.
now to answer your question. Do not touch the cable while flashing. When it says to unplug it, do so and then hard reset. Make sure you install the cabs before you start pdocwrite.
welcome to xda-devs. feel free to pm me any questions.

If I've already done the hardspl using Aserg-Hard-Spl.4.70.yan, and I'm trying to put Open Touch v6.1 Lite on my Wing, do I use the Herald-USPL-Beta3 method, I've got Open Touch v3.0 on my phone now but want to see if I like Open Touch v6.1 any better..

Nevermind I figured it out, followed the updated flashing guide.

i am new to all this flashing and everything... so i have a lot of questions
1. what is the best os to work with my HTC WING? vista, xp, or leopard?
2. what is the best software to backup my sms messages?(free recommended)
3. i tried using the program included, the RUU.exe, but it mostly returns either error 202, or 260.. i read how to fix them, i tried many times, made sure my phone was connected to the computer, restarted my phone, restarted my computer, but every time, my phone goes to a certain screen where it displays a red, green, blue and white box in that order. on it it says "IPL 4.10.002" and "SPL 4.10.0000".. im guessing this is bootloader mode? and the other screen is a blank white screen.
i tried the following methods

I'm gonna sound rude here, but I have to second you on this !
Poster, I forget your name, but, judging by your lack of knowledge, you have some research you need to do on YOUR own time. We are not a free technical support team that will spend the time teaching you:
What a ROM is.
What the Radio is.
How to unlock your phone.
How to enter bootloader.
Define a .nbh file.
Explain flashing.
Explain the RUU.
All steps necessary to flash.
What not to do.
How to fix it, if you do something wrong.
What you can do wrong.
What you need to do.
Define "flash".
Define "bricked".
You need to read up, and I mean READ. Before you attempt doing this, you should be able to think of yourself as an "expert" of some sort.
This can damage your phone, will void your warranty, and from looking at your post, you will probably brick your phone.

i know what a rom is
i know what radio is
my phones already unlocked
i got what ruu is
i know what flashing is
and i know what bricking is
i just need easy solutions.. currently im trying to install hardspl from here

Sorry to be such an idiot but...

I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

By bootloader, do you mean the three colored screen?

no, the screen that says serial/usb at top and 2.07 at bottom

I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).

I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using

Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).

@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.

Yeah! Egz for MODS!!! Woohooo and Xplode too and someday..me! LOL (no i mean it!)

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!

yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.

the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.

MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...

Help! my dopod is fUBAR

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here so sorry of this type of problem has previously been solved in a later thread. If so I couldnt find it.
Several months ago I returned from China to Germany with my Dopod C858 with stock windows in English, I found a link on how to upgrade the PDA to a cooked rom ( I cant quite remember which one but I worked fine and looked quite smart compared to the standard windows layout) nedless to say several days later I was not quick enough with the charger and let it run flat. After charging nothing worked anymore!! I can get boot loader (ISPL 1.09.0001 SPL 1.09.0001) and thats it. I have tried every possible way appart from gold card to reinstall a rom but always have either error 240,264,300 take your pick its different every time. I am running vista 32 (Prophet tools vista driver ). Please help with some suggestions or guidance how I can restore it..
Ps Active sync or even widows mobile device centre doesnt recognise it though if I go into Properties/Device Manager it comes up as a HTC Mobile device
Many thanks

You need to flash your original carrier ROM. Go into bootloader, hook up your phone via USB and flash it. Then you should have an updated IPL/SPL of 4.xx.xxxx, after which you can then apply HardSPL and flash another custom ROM if you like.

1. This is NOT a ROM Development thread. I moved it. Please post in the correct sectio next time.
2. It has been covered many times.
3. You flashed using USPL or HardSPL but your SPL is below 4.0 They're both incompatible with your SPL.
4. Your only fix will be a gold card. Search for it and you will find detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Moved?
Where did you move my thread to please?

It was moved here.

[Q] Problems installing Android NAND

This is a noob question but I cannot find the answer in the forums.
I have a HD2 with WinMo 6.5 on it.
I wanted to install a NAND version of Android so I started looking into it. I believe there are several steps but I cannot do any. If I want to upgrade the radio or use MGRLDR111 to boot to the usb flasher menu the phone just freezes.
I run the RUU of either and the phone reboots, I get the colored screen then it goes to the HTC screen with the progress bar and nothing happens.
I am sure this is a noob question and someone will point me in the direction of a link where this question has been asked before but its doing my head in. All help greatly appreciated.

You have your Winmo running ok right now? If so. Have you installed Active Sync on your PC?

Hope this can help you..

Thanks for the help above, I am getting closer.....I think.
It looks like I need to downgrade my spl first as I have 3.03.0000. From the posts I have read it appears you need to do this with an official rom.
Does anyone know where to obtain these. The phone is from Virgin in the UK.
All help greatly appreciated.
