do the reverse. install the sprint rom, then install the bell radio only from a card. it works pretty good.

have you unlocked your phone yet? if not you need to get than done first.


Edit. if you haven't already, you need to take a look at this and learn it, know it, live it.

yeah, i have the same problem. i have my rom exactly like i want but now i want to reflash the bell radio. but i don't want to redo all my customizations. i'll probably bit the bullet anyway and do it tho...

It's fairly easy to do. There are four files that you will need.

1. Bell Rom
2. Sprint Rom
3. Winrar for your computer
4. Ruu.rar from this link: ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/rstoyguy/tools/RUU.rar

Here are the steps;

1. Flash the Bell rom to get the radio.

2. Download and install WinRar to your computer.
3. Extract Ruu.rar to it's own directory. (flash utulity)

4. Right click on the Sprint rom in file explorer and select "Open with WinRar"
5. Click on and hold 2.nbh.
6. Drag that into the same directory with RUU.rar and drop it in there...

7. Once the Bell rom is flashed, go into the RUU.rar directory and run RomUpdateUtility which will flash the sprint stock rom.

8. Enjoy!

i'm learning more and more each day from everyone here. just a quick question since you know a tremondous amount of info. would it work out the same by flashing the sprint rom, then flashing the bell radio from the sd card? that's been the method i use and since i'm not the shiniest marble in the bag, in my small mind it seems a little more straight forward. i would really like to learn more about this.

I followed the steps. After I flashed Bell Rom, my radio was 3.42.50. Then I opened WinRar, and dragged 2.nbh from the official sprint rom to RUU folder. Then I ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe to flash the sprint rom.

After the flashing, to my surprise, my radio went back to 3.42.30. It appears that the Bell Rom flashing effort was wasted.

Does the "2.nbh" also have the radio information??

No, 2.nbh is just the rom. Make sure there is nothing else in the ruu directory...That should be the only nbh in there.

I've never got the flashing thing to work from the sd card. I haven't tried in a long time, but I no longer have a non-sdhc card either. But yes, you could just flash the radio and be ok. It will hard reset ya, but the programs will remain intact.
