if you have a ruu folder than you are all set..... re-read through the steps and just run the romupdateutility.exe and you will be fine..... (make sure the .nbh file is in their also)

Wow, dude....pick a thread...seriously. You posted pretty much the same question in 3 differnet threads. And Im getting kinda confused cause there all worded differenty. What is in that folder, if its a bunch of files including a romupdateutility.exe, then your fine. If its just the nbh file, you still need the RUU folder.

once you have unlocked phone and installed custom rom and want to try another, do you have to unlock again?

Thanks. I hold volume down and power and press soft reset. The red green blue white screen comes on and says security unlocked Raph800 spl-0.37.... I have downloaded kaos rom and renamed from RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh. I put it on 1gb sd card and did the button thing and just goes to red,green blue screen Could someone tell me what im doing wrong. Thanks

ok did you format the card to FAT32 (deltes all data) and than jsut add the RAPHIMG.nbh file to that and than manual bootloader?

than you have to be doing something wrong or have the file named wrong or something since this is the only way i flash my touch pro.... why not jsut use the ruu folder and do it via activesync/mobile device center.

if i got a rom the way i want it and use sprite backup and back it up and flash to a different rom, can i go back to the backed up rom just by restoring through sprite or do i first flash back then restore through sprite.

No, you never under any circumstances want to restore a complete back up after flashing to a new rom. The backup wil overwrite the current roms registry and just make a mess. When you flash a new rom, only restore your contacts, messages, and appointments. Never a full restore. That makes it pointless to even flash a new rom. If you like your old rom so much, just go back to it.

Re: Flashing Roms Custom And Stock
 
how do I know when flashing is complete? Is it after all the splash screens have loaded and before it asks for all my sceen taps and customizations, or is it before all of that?? Also for some ROMs it says take out the battery for 1 min after flashing and I was wondering exactly when to do that, becasue I'm not exactly sure when a flash is complete...this might be a dumb question, but I'm just wanting to be sure.

I always take my battery out after the RUU says you are "finished", then the phone will start to "reset", I let the first splash screen appear and sometimes let the second one come up to make sure it's going to boot, then I take it out for 1 minute, put it back in, turn phone on, and you are...................as Dashy says..............."GOLDEN", I've been wanting to say that for 7 months!!! HOPE THAT HELPS ANSWER YOU QUESTION!

Yeah thats what I was thinkin, except when I tried flashing and I pulled the bettery out after the first splash screen, when I turned the phone on it only went to the first splash screen and then froze...I had to reflash a new rom and just run through all the screens and did a hard reset and everything worked fine for me that way, so I dunno where I went wrong...

to flash a custom rom on the touch pro via a SD card, do you have to format the card to FAT32?

UMMMM, I did NOT relock or reflash to original stock rom before sending my mogul back to Alltel, does that mean they are going to charge me or what???? I did have to do the $95 asurion ins. claim to get my touch!

naw i dont think they will notice..... i sent a 6700 to sprint before with 6.1 on it and it was only supposed to have 5.0 on it. the bootloader is rarely looked at by any provider........

I dont' know if this is a stupid question to ask but what does it mean from a stock to custom?

Does stock mean the original phone? or .... ?

stock would be either

a) the ROM that you had on your phone when you got it
b) a stock ROM that was made for your carrier and released on htc's website

and from stock to custom would be from either of the above to a custom ROM

ok, I have a quick question on this page about the Ruu.zip files. Are these files universal, or am I looking for a specific one if I'm using a Vista computer for the HTC Touch Pro. I see the link for it in the mogul section and in the Touch section, but when I get down to the touch pro, it just says the attached ruu.zip file. If it is seperate, where can I get it from?

I've used the mogul ruu on my pro a couple times. No trouble. But most of ( the good ons anyway) the touch pro roms come with a RUU in it already

call them and tell them that you have a touch pro and you want to activate... dont tell them through a different provider and than give them the hex esn only from the back and they will be able to do it.... you can find the stock rom dump to get all the features and necessary things by using google.... you will also have t change some settings around to get the mms and the internet to work correclty..... take a look at the sprint touch pro on verizon network thread for more details.

Dash,

Quick question. What am I doin wrong that when I am flashing back to Sprint Stock rom from MightyRom...it shows flashed but I can't get the Mighty Rom to go away. It shows on the splash screen and is still on the phone. How do I completely switch back? I tried relocking and doing it, unlocking and using the dump file...Helllpp..

The issue is I can't get my data to work. It keeps showing "Cannot locate remote server" and I can't find any posts that solve that issue so I'm thinking about just sending it back to Sprint for a replacement but I'm trying to get it back to stock before I do that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dude.

Thanks Dude.

what are you using to flash stock? the nbh file or exe? if you used exe it should revert everything back to stock, rom and radio and prl.

rdubb76 03-29-2009 07:36 PM

Re: Flashing Roms Custom And Stock
 
I have been using the nbh file not the exe so that may be the issue I would assume. I got the dump file from ppcgeeks but I may have to get a different one. So the exe file just gets saved on my computer then I run that file, correct?

I was hoping to be able to resolve the data issue without doing this but I may be at the point of no return now.

is ppcgeeks the recommended link to getting the exe?

I'm a rookie at customizing so I appreciate all the advice..keep it coming please...

wait, i thought u were just trying to get mighty's bootscreen off? didn't say anything bout data but anyways..yeah, if it's not posted here then get it from ppcgeeks. just download the exe and run it

rdubb76 03-29-2009 07:48 PM

Re: Flashing Roms Custom And Stock
 
No, the data thing was a seperate issue. Yes I am trying to get Mighty off the bootscreen and off the rom. When I currently go into "device info" it shows MightyRom.

The data issue was something more technical that I can't seem to resolve even with advance technical support from Sprint.

So my main concern now is getting Mightyrom off so Sprint doesn't see it when they get the phone back.
