Save me.......I mean my T-Mobile Wing

Hi, guys. I am really new here and I really need some help. Recently I purchased a t-mobile wing from eBay for $260 shipped. And the phone was "DOA" . I guess I suppose to return this phone back to the seller, but I saw this as a FIX IT YOURSELF PROJECT p. I know I will have fun "trying" to un-brick the phone. Since It is without any scratch, I knew even this brick phone can be sell for about $150. I don't mind put the $100 on the line for this little project of mine . I had read many threads (over 200) but none did the job. To me, this phone is a bit strange. Maybe it really BRICK. Anyway, let me describe the status here. I cannot turn on the phone by the power switch. I can get into boot loader and hard reset. If I do a hard reset, and press CALL, the phone will say something about formatting then reboot in about 5 seconds and the T-mobile screen will come out and the phone turn off and that is it. If I press any other keys, the T-mobile screen will come out and the phone turns off. If I got into boot loader, I can turn off the phone with the power switch. So, I know the power switch is working. While in boot loader, I can flash the phone with the 2 stock rom from t-mobile: 4.10.531.3 and 4.26.531.1. But any other rom I downloaded from this website will not work. I can flash these 2 stock roms vise versa. The boot loader will display: IPL 4.10.0002 / SPL 4.10.0000 and IPL 4.26.0002 / 4.26.0000. But either rom will not let me turn on the phone with the power switch. While I am using the flash tool (RUU) with the stock rom the "original image version" will display BLANK. However the whole flash process seems to be smooth. If I use the other roms, the process will stop at 3 percent and display error 270 update error, image file corrupted. I cannot use anything like herald-uspl.exe since active sync will not connect to my phone. It is always grey. However, in system hardware list, there is the POCKET PC USB SYNC. But with the stock ROM, I can flash even active sync is grey. I am just so lost here. Have I over look something basic? I am not sure . Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

go into bootloader and use uspl. try that. tell me if it works

Are these the steps? I cannot update the phone as it will not show connect to the computer by active sync (grey icon). but on hardware manager, it show up
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3.
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

yep thats it

I cannot use uspl because the active sync issue. It shows grey and the program will stay at 1/3......

Here comes my other question. Why T-mobile official ROM do not require active sync (stated of the readme file of the package) while cook ROM does? So is there any cook rom that does not require active sync? Thanks again

no. put your into bootloader mode and connect it. Your pc should recognize it. Then use uspl.

The PC recognize it. it is in device manager. But ative sync did not find any device. However, I still launched uspl, but it will just stay at "step 1/3...." and that is it. So you think this is brick? Thanks for your time.

WHERE IS THE NBH FILE?????

Launch USPL and run it like that. It should work.
I know HardSPL supports flashing from bootloader. The RUU does the same thing. If you run it via activesync, it soft resets into bootloader.
And the nbh file is found in rom downloads

Tried HardSPL and USPL, both will not work, except stock ROM. But it will not power up with the power buttom.

'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 don´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!!!

Can you plz. give us link for zip file instead of the ttornet one
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?

you forgot to install the MS KB!so there is a BSOD left to fix...
there is a windows KB update XP-KB926255-x86, which is important for the unlock and that you will have to install it... click here to download(use your language)
Once done (downloaded, installed, PC system reboot) do the following:
1) Remove any micro SD card
2) Put any different SIM (do not put the pin once requested) just let active sync get green once connected to the PC...
3) Install WST
4) from WST click "enable rapi"
5) after (once done) choose "repair IMEI",
6) Writedown your original imei, keep it, (you are going to use it again)
7) change the imei with the one you have on the tutorial (355046015665718)
it will boot your device
8) one active sync is green again run (from your PC) ARTEMIS_Unlock.exe
9) wait
19) it's not blocked, just wait
20) be patient, we're almost there...
21) done, once unlocked it will reboot
22) afterwards your device shall be unlocked, enter your PIN code to verify.
23) change imei back to your original (very important)
24) reboot
Device unlocked

You have to do exactly this:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
10. Call Microsoft helpdesk and ask them an activating key for your hd2 (don't pm me for the key)
11. Setup up your live ID and enter the activation code (on the phone).

Ok I think you missed some steps, so lets start from the top. First of all you cant "RUN" or "Execute" a .xap file. Its meant to be installed or "deployed" to your phone, not PC, through the Application Deployment software provided in the Windows Phone 7 SDK(Step 1). Only after installation of Windows Phone 7 developer tools can you go through steps 2-6, and then on step 7 go to your PC's Start>All Programs>Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools>Application Deployment. Choose the Brows button and the two .xap files(1 at a time) and deploy them to your device. After you complete that you can proceed to steps 8-10.
If you find this to be confusing you may consider a Cooked Rom as many of these features are already provided. Good Luck.
1. Install WP7 sdk (Not confrimed, Skip and see if it works);
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the cert to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly);
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxal;
10. Setup up your live ID and enter the activation code (on the phone).

Just use a cooked rom, why stress yourself with the original one, when you can use a cooked rom and have all that done already for you..?
