well what phone do you have???? have you unlocked the phone??? what rom are you trying to flash???? come on bro we need the details to help you...... and also if you follow the steps you will be fine..... these are step by step and dont understand why this is such a hard process......

sorry, i have the mogul and i was trying to install take 3 enhanced... i started with Titan_Radio_ROM_3[1].42.30 the .exe and had the same error. It seems like its communicating and it brings up the % bars on both the pc and phone but stays at 0% and then after about a min or two it comes back with a communications error. i also tried the titan unlocker and it does the same thing (hard-SPL-MFG). i followed the instructions even tried the sd card way and it sits there with a loading... on the screen i used a 512mb sd card formatted fat32 with only the Titan_Radio_ROM_3[1].42.30 nbh file on it it was named TITAIMG.nbh. i admitt i dont have much experience with these phones, but i do have over 20 years in the computer and networking field.

if you unlocked your still fine........ and you said bigjews rom so you have a touch correct? and what do you mean the the nbh has a mogul on it..... big jew nbh is for a touch not a mogul?

I know that much. When i went through the steps it said do download the RUU file for the touch, unzip, place .nbhj file in the RUU folder and then run the installer. When I did that a picture of the mogul came up on the installer.

As far as the unlocked thing I was unlocked when I flashed the HTC Rom update. Does that mean I am still unlocked?

no you dont unlock for flashing stock roms....... and you shouldnt.... if you do a search on google for blank ruu you will find it also.... it shouldnt show mogul but since it does it prollly wont work because of the enter bootloader aspect and all.

I was unlocked already cause I did the gps update before the official update cam out. I will see if I can find a blank RUU from google. Do I need to reunlock since I flashed the official release from htc's website???

OK, cause it doesn't say cokeman anymore on the startup. Also, if you could help find the RUU it would be awesome. Maybe post a thread with this program in it so other dummies like me can find it better. :P

no problem and after the first time you will cruise through flashing and not think anything of it.

[thekool]

first you posting and asking for something that has nothing to do with the topic..any nextel related stuff is archived which it can be found the bottom of the page.I suggest you read the forum rule about posting in the wrong area..

thats cdma correct???? it would be the same process than as listed for verizon users...... just follow theose steps and than at the point of flash after unlock run the rom that you need :>

[rashumble7]

Yes it is cdma, thanks for the swift reply. So i would use the verizon method of flashing, after flashing/unlocking i would call my metropcs service provider to connect the phone to my account and then flash new rom to the device. Is that correct? If not please correct me, im quite new to flashing but will pick up easy with detailed instructions. Thanks again for your time and patience

bro your fione just flash the rom of your choice now and your good to go.... this has been discussed before so you would have found your answer by doing a search...... ( for future reference) as long as the serial on the bottom screen changes to usb you iwll be connected to activesync or mobile device center and ready to flash.

i bet you that you didnt follow the steps and unlock your phone...... what does the bootloader screen up top say like numbers??? it should be coke 2.40. and also did you try to flash via storage card???? fastest and easiest way to go. :>

ok did it complete the flash???? if it did all you need to do is get the radio out of the first post of kaos's rom and flash that the same way..... than hard reset the phone and than let it do its thang than take the battery out for a minute.

[tmor5078]

how do you know if it flashed completely?

-Now based on 3.42.30 or 3.42.50 (SPRINT build) (BELL BUILD) -

yes on the bell rom and it will say complete up top and the bars will be full at 100%

[dragonzkin]

Whoa! This thread was exactly what I was lookin for. Thanks for showing me what the hell a .nbh extension was. Even google barely knows! :)

--------- New Post Merged on 22/9/2008 at 02:05:02 --------

BWUAHAHAHHAH!

This is great. Thanks for the great walkthrough. Things worked out on my first shot!! (sort of).

First time I booted it up after the successful flash it just started vibrating and wouldn't stop (not the first time my phone has done this, not sure if it is a ROM or hardware issue, has anyone else ran into this?).

After pullin the battery though everything worked out great. Booted up and is syncing now.

Thanks to Dash n Kaos for great work!!!!:yahoo:

mine just flashes loading then go right back to red blue green

I didn't format my card:dash3:

is there a way to format the sd without a card reader?

[Porschefb61]

Dash.....I just got the nuerom pre3 Rom.....can I install it the way described here or do i have to use their method?

[TweetyBear]

should be the same way. i believe nuerom is in a folder with ruu_signed.nbh, ruuupdateutility.exe and other stuff. all you gotta do is make sure you're on a gps enabled rom and then unlock your phone then flash away!

[csmartycssmarty]

ok i think is a good place to ask this... i hope anyway... any difference in flashing roms to the diamond. i know the rom would have to be designed for the diamond but other than that... do we still follow the same steps with the hardspl unlocker and all or is there a different unlocking program... just smack me if this is a stupid question!!!!

all you need is the unlcoker for the diamond as said above and than the rom....... the custom roms i have seen (juicy is the best and made mine off of his) have the nbh already inserted into the ruu upon download.... so unlock grab your rom and flash away... the steps are all the same as the mogul just a different unlocker. i will try to remember to get a tutorial for the diamond added later tonight :>

[thekool]

Ok sorry for the trouble

[LOoLoO]

I saw there was an extra section for flashing under the touch section.

I am wondering is there any issues i should expect to run into while flashing my htc mogul with laptop running Vista 64bit?

(I know I could run into a million different possible failures....but I am just wondering if there are consistent errors while using vista 64bit I should be prepared for.)

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have not run into any problems flashing roms using Vista yet it works great for me :brows: I think you should be fine flashing your mogul on that!!!!!!

[LOoLoO]

Thanks for your quick reply.

A quick question.

Are you using the 32bit os or the 64 bit os of Vista?

Seems I have problems doing things on 64bit version that people on 32bit version do not experience.
