'Start' batch file does nothing.
Tried opening it directly from a command prompt, but still nothing, except it opens another dos box.
Thoughts ?
The 'start' batch file fails because the first command is 'cd RUU'. but there is not a folder called RUU.
Then it tries to rename two files which also do not exist. Hence it never actually arrives at the exe file to unlock & install the ROM.
Can this work if you simply run the exe file without renaming & changing folders ?
Hi, and thanks for that script...
The .bat works well for me but while updating the rom, I've got an 270 error... 'The images files is corrupted please check your update utility'
does any one had the same issue on his phone? Do you think I just need to download it again? (concidering that the zip file uncompressed normaly, I assume it works well...)
Thanks for your answers...
upgrading MDA Touch
please i need your Help.
I have download the" touch essential V3.5 Manilla" on my PC. But i donĀ“t know how to send it to my MDA.
Activsyc is working.
Where kann i fine the cert_CAB?
I have also unpacked the V3.5 manilla, but there is no way to run it in the MDA how should i do this.
many thanks
My 2 cents...
If I were you I wouldn't rely on a torrent posted by a junior member (age 12) and rather download the ROM posted by Football on Rapidshare => See his post HERE <=.
I've been using it from day 1 without any problem...
gruikdadude...
gruikdadude... I understand were you are coming from but I have been very carefull on what i look for and actually this torrent file was uploaded by someone on xda developers so i am saying the update worked fine for me so why shouldnt it for you so before you start criticising a me for posting something that is just to assure htc touch owners that there is a reliable WM6.1 upgrade is there anything wrong with this......... NO!!! so before you criticise think twice !!!bell end!!!

thanks in advance
can you tell me the diffrences between this rom and the original 6,1 rom? i see no manilla2d, but more differences?
hi i tried the whole procedure , but i get the ERROR[270]: Image file is currupted, can anyone help regarding this error, how to get the uncurrupted version?
Since this rom is giving a lot of people problems, why not just use one of the verified good roms from the Elf Upgrading subforum?

Romupdateutility is not a valid pocket pc application?

hey I was trying to HARDspl my phone I tried the three cab files and got this error while trying to run the romupdate utility. I tried looking every where couldn't find the cause. Any help would be appreciated.
You don't run the RUU from your phone, you run it on your computer with your phone connected after you install those three .cab files.

[Q] wtf!!..trying to flash....please help!

hello all,here is the scenario.I was using a windows vista based pc earlier to try and flash hardspl3, task 29, and the max sense version of the elegancia rom.I was able to download these zips just fine, but when I attempted to open them too un zip, extract ect.my pc went beserk and windows explorer pops up multiple times.this was the case every time I tried to open hspl3 and task 29.....I am thinking it may be the windows vista platform causing the problems.......what did I possibly do wrong? please help!
Sounds like an amazing problem with Vista....download WinRAR or 7-Zip and try to extract them again. If that doesn't work, then yeah, some kinda problem with your PC.
ok, what is winrar and where can I find it to download? and once again I really appreciate your the help.
Uhm...rarlab.com?

Cant get into magldr112, device hangs

I am upgrading to the wp7 rom, my radio is 2.8x, I have installed magldr112 via the DFT cab file, device restarts and then hangs on the start up screen.
I know ive read about this here on the forums but cant seem to find the post again.
Could someone help please before I go crazy?!
Cheers
I had a problem like this and found it was something to do with the PC I was installing it from. I install the whole thing again on another PC and it worked fine.
The 2 main differences with the PC was one was Vista 32bit and the other was 7 64bit.
Not sure if this is relevant at all but I hope it helps.

I am installing it from my Windows 7 64bit.
Did you find you had the same issue on a 64?
I've just tried on a 32 bit machine and still the same.
I was using energizer 6.5.x rom and now it hangs on the NRG boot screen.
Getting worried now!
Any ideas? I've been sat here for nearly an hour trying to resolve this. I cant be the only one surely?
Nope, I'm stuck at the same step.
Can re-install MAGLDR112, but it always just re-starts and get stuck at the white htc screen.
Actually I'm past that bit...woohoo!
Reset the device back to the loader and installed an updated radio (Radio_2.10.50.19_2.zip) and now it boots into the MAGLDR112.
Give that a go mate.

Do you have installed HSPL208?
MAGLDR won't work with HSPL142 or HSPL166 (stop at white screen)
I'm not sure. WP7 couldn't see my SD card anyway (look in "about" in settings to see available memory) and I found other posts suggesting removing the SD card will allow Wifi to work.
I'm searching now to see if I can get an SD card that will actually work. Has anyone actually got an SD card working in a WP7 HD2?

Mine is working fine, but I have a couple of questions
1) how do I change the about LEO70
2) How can I install Flash player?
Thanks anybody

Well, on first setup i was able to use wifi, but now it doesnt connect. I can see the router/s but refuses to connect.
this is infuriating.

Switch your router off, then back on. same happened to me, but was able to connect after doing that.

MAC-adress
Everytime i reboot my device i get a new MAC-address.
the first 6 chars are still the same 00:18:41:... but the last 6 changes after every reboot. I Think that is the problem why you can't connect to WIFI-network.
(sorry for my bad english)
Ive tried resetting my router and even reflashed the whole phone to no avail.
Im wondering how I can upgrade to the latest radio version without activesync
1. Put your stock rom ruu_signed.nbh on sd card as LEOIMG.nbh (<4gb card)
2. Reflash that by holding vol down - hspl.
3. Reboot and dont got into it - goto new (old) spl.
4). Connect and do HSPL3_PKG.exe, We hacked it. Best to NOW change your drivers to MTTY drivers (first point you can as hspl rapitool doesnt recognize them so change to unsigned drivers now) and connect then do:
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8 (which is reboot)
YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT WHEN FLASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER or you end up with fk hd2 with too many bad blocks in nand and screwed partitions.
5.) Now re-do your radio with latest by replacing LEOIMG.nbh with ruu_signed.nbh from radio rar/zip. = ie 2.15 radio and vol-down reboot hspl again.
6) Now replace LEOIMG.nbh with MAGLDR 112 .nbh as LEOIMG.nbh on sd and
YOU ARE DONE.
7) Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get LIVE.
Before doing dwi.exe PROPERLY: make a fake data.zip with EMPTY (ie: notepad make 0kb .txt files then rename part00.bin, part01.bin, ALL THE WAY TO part07.bin and save these into data.zip (rename real data.zip data.bak or whatever).
Then flash with dwi.exe so this CLEANS OUT PARTITIONS COMPLETELY with ZEROES.

Thanks for your extensive answer but guess what? Thats right, still no wifi.
It worked on first boot, i was able to sync my contacts, go on facebook etc so must be something that has happened since then or during restarts.

You can always HEX-Edit the partitions going to nand for Wp7 and change MAC.
I have (almost completely now) reverse engineered Cotulla and DFT release of Windows Phone 7.

[Q] Can I recover my HTC HD2?

I was updating my HTC HD2 by following the recent article in MicroMart.
I had successfully installed SPL-2.08.HSPL.
Next, instead of updating the Radio ROM, I did the MAGLDR ROMUpdate (apparently successfully) and now when I switch the phone on it just hangs with the intial HTC screen.
I cannot connect it with the PC through Active Sync.
Apart from kicking myself is there anything I can do to recover?
go to bootloader and reflash magldr
But don't I need to get connected through Active Sync through Windows Mobile Device Centre?
How do I get the HTC HD2 to do anything?

Try to flash the latest stock ROM via SD card.It will remove the HSPL and MAGLDR.

One more example in the pile of several thousand people confused by the use of the term "get an activesync connection".
it doesn't mean the program activesync, just a USB connection.
Enter bootloader manually. Connect USB, when word "serial" becomes "USB" you can flash.
Most winmo flashing problems are caused by the time taken for the rom.exe to reboot the phone into bootloader. Putting it in bootloader manually will save you about half a minute per flash, and practically nullify any timeout connection errors.
Giraff,
Thanks for the advice, but I would be grateful if you would tell me what file to put on the SD card.
Do you mean a file like "RUU_Leo_S_Orange_UK_3.14.61.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe"
which I then
- Rename to LEOIMG.nbh and copy to the root of a microSD card that's been formatted to FAT32
- Insert the storage card into your phone
- et seq?
Sam Samuel,
I've got USB on the phone, but I don't get access through Explorer.
Do I just execute the above RUU...exe file on the PC or put file
RUU_Signed_0409.nbh
on the SD card et seq.
that file, although it is an .exe file, is actually a zip.
to do an sd card flash
right click that file, and choose extract here, or perhaps unzip here, or unpack here, depending what archive program you have installed, if you cant see any options like that, install winrar or 7zip (theyre free)
It will extract to around 8 or so files, one of which, the biggest, is called RUU_signed.nbh and that is the actual rom file.
Take that file, rename it leoimg.nbh copy it to your sd card and reboot into bootloader, , teh flash should start automatically.
Or, since you have now connected to usb in bootlaoder, just double click
RUU_Leo_S_Orange_UK_3.14.61.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_ 2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
to run the flash over usb,
BUT
be aware that flashing this (or any 3.14) rom over usb whilst hspl is installed will mean it wont update the spl to 3.03.xxxx and so the rom wont work properly until you manually upgrade the spl to 3.03.xxxx using hspl4

but I don't get access through Explorer
Click to expand...

no, you cant access teh filesystem whilst teh phone is in bootloader. This is why the update utility wont show you the 'from version' info, because it cant access the registry.
Or would I find it easier to put the file "RUU_Signed_0409.nbh" on the SD card?
I don't know what 0409 means.
0409 is the country code, not usually there, but nothing to worry about. yea you can do it sd card method if you like. it will only work if it is teh actual correct rom for teh phone, from sd card, , cant use hspl to get other stock roms on there with sd card.
If i were you tho i would have run the .exe as soon as 'serial' because 'usb' and i would know by now whether it works or not,,,, hehe.
Thanks for all the advice.
I will try again tomorrow.

Just to add to this statement so people will better understand why Samsamuel phrased this this way. If you notice while in bootloader and the USB is present at the bottom of the screen, on your computer it is listed as HTC USB Sync.
Take the battery out and put the battery back on again. connect the usb to both phone and computer (2)hold the volume down button and press the phone power button . it will show USB Connection once it goes into magladr
Once I understood that plugging in a USB cable while in HSPL and seeing Serial change to USB on the HD2, I was able to flash the Radio ROM and proceed with the installation of Android 2.3.
All appears to be working now.
Thanks for all the advice.
