Hey,
Sturggling with this now, so here asking for help.
Got a new P3600i here. For whatever reason, i CAN NOT run SSPL or any RUU updater. everytime it runs, it goes to reboot to the tri colour screen, but hangs on a black screen. I can't use any tools to unlock the phone, update, apply hard SPL etc.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
thanks

for now, not, but you can describe the version of rom, and if it will be upgraded, it can possible to try to extract it and post!!
bye!
Well, thats the funny thing, its the exact same:
ROM: 3.00.707.18
Date: 07/24/07
Radio: 1.46.30.11
Protocol: 32.79.7020.19H
IPL: 1.00
SPL: 3.03.0000
Its exactly the same as latest WM6 official ANZ rom.
Any ideas??
That's why I wanted an extracted version of the P3600i ROM.
It can't be the same as the Dopod WM6 version for the P3600 (ordianary Trinity) because it's about 25MB bigger than the Dopod ANZ version. There must be something added to the P3600i ROM.
Can you try flashing to the Official Dopod ANZ WM6 version (ROM: 3.00.707.18) from the HTC website to see what happens?
Better still, if you know how extract the P3600i ROM so one of the many tech wiz's aroud here can have a look for you.
Anyone who knows how to extract the ROM plz can you post a step by step for those of use who don't know how.

Thats thew thing. I downloaded the offical ANZ WM6 update for the D810/P3600 and updated using that. Worked perfect, updated and no problems, exactly the same as was on there.
However, i then tried to "downgrade" to an official WM5 rom, but its stops at 1% then reboots phone??
So
WM6 Dopod ANZ ROM which takes up about 73MB on the P3600, will take up 96MB on the P3600i? WTF?
Perhaps it has something to do with extended ROM. I know that with the
P3600, you could not use the extended ROM after updating to the Dopod ANZ ROM...not sure if that's indicative of anything.
Are you flashing with an SD card still in the device? If so try flashing with SD card removed.

Free storage was 174mb. So i've gained 14 mb from somewhere.
Trying to update now using an official HTC branded rom, as opposed to the Dopod braded WM5 roms, and that still doesnt do it either

So there is a difference between the ROM that came with the P3600i (Giving 160MB free storage) & Official WM6 Dopod ANZ ROM (Giving 174MB Free Storage).
If it's any help, when I buy my P3600i, I'll be sure to extract the Original ROM BEFORE I flash it. It might help someone figure out your flashing issue.
Thing is I don't know how to extract ROMs. Can anyone help?

MMM, theres seomthing (buggered if i know what) in the EXT rom that adds that 14mb. I didnt run the extended rom, and i saved 14mb. If i let it run fully, it ends up with 160mb free.
Also, no WM5 HTC or dopod rom works. They all state that the update file is corrupted and reboots at 1%.
I called HTC, and said i "had to have WM5" due to software and in the infinate helpfulness told me to buy a Dopod D810 then. Theres no WM5 available for the HTC p3600i.
I think theres something in the SPL/IPL thats stopping any SSPL bootloaders being pushed onto the device, which then stops flashing anything else...
Hopefully someone will figure it out.

Why don't you use the registry tweak to show the extended ROM to see what's in there?
Doesn't the extended ROM automatically run itself? How did you stop it?

If you reset before the ext rom runs, it doesnt run on reboot. I don't care for all the customised crap half the time and choose to install what i need.
Well, i'll settle for the fact i'll have to manually install each app/tweak etc until a time i can update the phone.
I will say though, that having used the D810 for the last 5 months, everyday, this one seems a LOT faster (even using the official rom as well). the extra 100mhz seems to of made a big difference. now to see how it effects battery life.
OK, honestly would love some help from anyone that can :s
Tried all the following things now:
Using MTTY
Using SPL Exploit (finds overflow, says is done, SPL remains the same.)
Using DES SPPL
Running SSPL on device seperatly
And flashing various official WM5 roms in the hope it downgrades IPL/SPL.
All have resulted int he same outcome.... NOTHING!
I'm guessing this is HTC's new method of preventing flashing roms, and is likely to obviously be on other roms in the future. Was hopiung someone (Oli, pof, Des etc) may have a solution or would like more info form me to find one??
No progress?
Nope
None.
Beyond my technical skills now, so its up to the gods of modding (Oli, Des, POF etc) or its never getting flashed.
Mind you, seems to be stable as at the moment using the official rom, so not too worried.
i wonder if this has something to do with the new ipl? maybe ipl 1.00 plus whatever is hidden in the 3600i rom or extrom or whatever makes it not able to flash unofficial roms.. Cause there's nothing else really different than p3600's that we know about.. and some people (inlcuding me) have ipl 1.0 from the official ROM upgrade.. so maybe there's something else in there that works with it to block the upgrade process..
Well, its not in the EXT rom, and it probably can't be in the normal rom as its the exact same (meaning i downloaded and flashed) the ANZ WM6 official rom. Only thing possible i can think of is possibility its a hardware revision stopping it, but it won't let you even run SSPL software either.
Everything i do, SPL Exploit, DES SSPL, RUU Updater, Hard SPL et all ALL result in it "almost" going to the modified boot screen but ending up with a black screen. You then need to soft reset which leaves you at the previous bootloader...
Sucks. And is annoying as all hell. One saving grace is the extra CPU speed makes a big difference, and the extra storage means having to install all the apps that get cooked into the roms is that big a deal as theres plenty of room left over.
That said, i can't even update to that latest radio rom, which is what sucks the most.

Did you try to disassemble a ROM from nbh to nb, and reassemble it with the new offsets we can see in Dopod WM6 ROMs ?
The P3600i has 256MB NAND in oposite of the 128 Mb NAND of the regular P3600.
To flash this device you need bootloader 3.x or higher, and OS rom must be tagged 0x401 in the NBH (not 0x400, which is used for 128Mb NAND), also you should use a new RUU (the on the official WM6 rom should be ok).
Hope it's clear, if not PM me as I'm not following this thread.
Hello XDA Friends!
I have done 2 solid nights of reading now - not to say I am in the least bit an expert, but this is my second experience with flashing htc phones (previously had a htc wizard). I am not a complete newb, but I have a few unanswered questions before i jump in balls deep.
1) After searching the forums, I have found that I seem to have a (rare) ROM version - 1.93.422.4 WWE to be exact. It is the stock US 3G GSM ROM. It appears that others have (after hardSPL) successfully flashed their Diamonds accordingly with European versions. I went to HTC's website and registered my Diamond and they told me that they do not have a down-loadable version of their ROM (an official HTC ROM) for the 3G US version. HTC simply does not make a version for US 3G that they release.
-"Unfortunately, after some checking on our website with your serial numbers, we have found that currently there is no ROM update for your devices. From our experience, there is almost never an update developed for unlocked US GSM devices. The way we release our updates is we develop them first (after receiving the operating system from Microsoft). Then the carrier or vendor takes the update and modifies it to fit their policies and we release it. Unfortunately, the vendor that usually sells unlocked US devices does not complete the last step." -HTC
This concerns me as this is my fallback in the event things do not go so well for me while flashing. SOOOO all that said, does anyone have a copy of the ROM lying around for my backup benefit!?!
2) Can anyone with a US diamond verify that they are indeed running with a cooked ROM (and be so kind as to suggest which one they prefer?). Obviously its trial and error, but stability and speed are high on the priority list (stock is SOOOO SLOOOW)!
3) The hard reset is confusing me. HTC rep said that if i do a hard reset that it will restore the device to factory settings, thus no need for me to download a ROM to restore the device (i obviously did not tell him i was looking into cooked ROMS!).
-" As far as a ROM that would restore the device, you would simply need to do a hard reset in the even that the ROM became corrupt. This would restore the device to factory defaults. " - HTC
This would indicate that the ROM is somewhere on the internal 4gb storage and copies itself back to the ROM. Is this erased when upgrading ROMS or becomes unavailable after going to hardspl? or would i still have the option to hard reset (take the red pill) and wake up believing that my dance with cooked ROMS was a dream!?!?
Thanks for all your help - fire away - I have thick skin. I'm sure someone will point out my lack of research skills ;p
Long live Xda,
-Nate
I have an unlocked US GSM also. I also tried to get it off the site and it said it was not for my device...
HTC support is pretty much useless, I called and they told me over the phone that my phone wont run WWE roms and that i needed US roms and i told them thats funny because it came preloaded with 1.93WWE.
Anyways The New official rom will work on your phone and its allot faster than the 1.93
First the Hard SPL i used this.
I use this RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition

I haven't used any cooked ROMS yet so i cant help you out there
Awesome - thanks for the info - that was exactly what i was looking for! Yea... the fact that it says WWE in the ROM is completely contradicting - HTC tech support doesn't seem to know whats going on.
Have you tried the hard reset since you loaded the new ROMs? does it revert to 1.93?
Thanks again for posting,
-Nate
ok all,
flashed to hardSPL olinex 1.40, confirmed in the bootloader, tried to flash to 2.03WWE (as referred to me from above) and it gives me:
Error [244] : invalid model ID
This update utility cannot be used for your pda phone. please check your update utility.
OK. from reading i gather this is because something is wrong with hardSPL? what hardSPL should i use? Or is it another issue entirely?
thanks,
-Nate
btw - after hardSPL, and hard reset, everything on the internal storage is there
perhaps i need to be more specific. When i enter the bootloader, it says:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
what the bible says it should say is
Hard SPL 1.40.Olinex
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
Does this mean that it did not upgrade correctly? Any ideas? Im trying win 1.37 OliNex
again it says in the bootloader
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.37.OliNex
lets me get all the way to 99% and then fails with
Error 270 :update error
The image file is corrupt. please check your update utility.
I need some help guys. Starting to get a little frustrated do you have to update the radio rom before it will take the main rom?
-Nate
Ok, next update. Could not get any of the olix hard SPLs to work. I have tried to upgrade to hardSPL 1.24 per this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
only problem is that the phone does not ever boot into windows. When i go into the bootloader, it still shows olix 1.37 hard SPL. I have tried re-downloading the file. So far it gets to 100% of the ROM flash and then throws the error 270. Any thoughts?
I never had this problem but on the page were you got the ROM they say if your having issues installing through the update utility to do this.
Rename ..NBH file to DIAMIMG.nbh
Copy to Internal Storage
Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <--
Follow instructions on screen
Anymore problems just read this through the thread were you got the ROM your not the only one who got the "corrupted 270 error".
But flashing it from the storage card should work . ..Goodluck

Ok all,
I have had a hell of a time getting a rom that will install. I could repeatedly get to the bootloader without a problem, and every rom i flashed after installing olinex 1.37 allowed me to get all the way to 100% but would then tell me that the rom was corrupt.
I downloaded and installed Shaks rom, version 3.20 from

I will report on further issues i have with the device.

When I try to burn the 2.03 WWE ROM mentioned onto my stock US Diamond I get: Error 294: Invalid Vendor ID.
Any ideas what I need to do? I did not change the SPL - must I do that?
I read through the referenced threads and see where people with Error 270 need to put the image file onto internal storage but I have been hesitant to try that since it for Error 270 and not necessarily Error 294.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for everybody's help. Burning the new SPL did the trick.
Have tweaked everything pretty much back to how I like it and am quite happy with the new ROM. My only complaint is that I prefer the larger Compact QWERTY keypad of the 1.93 ROM since I have fat fingers. I know that I can dig that keypad up elsewhere but I'll try to get used to the new one first.
Thanks again.
Guys,
I'm new to this web site and am trying to reflash my Touch Pro 2 with the Win 6.5 version. It won't load as previously reported by others, with the fix being, using Hardspl(whatever that is). In trying to download the zipped version of Hardspl from this site, Norton Antivirus rejects it as being infected.
Any assistance here please?
We need more info about your phone, and what you have tried.
I don't know how much info you need but it is an unlocked Touch Pro 2 phone, ROM Version 1.19.401.0(51489), ROM Date 05/16/09, Protocol version 61.32t.25.26U, CPU QUALCOMM(R) 7200A, Model no. HTC Touch Pro 2 T7373.
I downloaded the Europe version of the update from this site RUU_Rhodium_S_HTC_Europe_1.86.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship(2).exe and tried to reflash the phone, having achieved sync. An error message " ERROR(294) : INVALID VENDER ID" comes up, telling me that "This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone."
I have subsequently seen on this site that a fix was to use Hardspl.
After searching on Xda, I found this download "Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip".
When I try to unzip it I get a message that it is blocked by Norton "Auto protect has detected Bloodhound.W32.EP"
So nothing can happen under these circumstances. What is this Hardspl and why is it necessary?
Would a hard reset help?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards Chris
PS Radio version 3.46.25.30
to say it as simple as possible:
your phone has ID, called CID
normal phones only allow ROMs with same CID
HardSPL allows any ROM, skips checking of th CID
positives: you can use ROMs for different parts of the world, debrand your device (not SIM unlock!) and also use unsigned ROM (ROMs that have been modified)
negatives: if you are stupid you can flash a ROM for completely different device and brick your phone, you should put it to previous state before any warranty repairs (to do this first flash original ROM and then remove HardSPL)
As stated in the first post of the Hard SPL and the "Noobs flashing guide" the virus is a false positive.
We were all noobs at one point or another, just take your time to read the stickies about how to flash your device, then upgrade to the 6.5 ROM (or any other custom TP2 ROM on this fourm).
EDIT: Any more problems, please post in the "for noobs" thread.
Thanks
Dave
So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.
1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.
Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"
Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.
Great!
Glad it all worked out
Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Downgrade your radio to one below 1.02.XXX before flashing the unlocked radio
Full instructions to unlock your diamond are here

Once you have done this, you can flash any ROM you like
Dear Dave,
thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly
Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?

Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/
EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here

Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!
Kindest regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.

Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.
Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Here is your radios
Sorry for the short post, I have a really bad hangover lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
Morn' Dave!
I tried them all - none of them was flashable... same 0%-bar.
I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version
Good luck !!
And the hangover is nearly gone... I cured yesterdays with more alcohol lol
Have you tried these UNSIGNED dev HARDspls ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway
