I copied the single "2.nbh" file to the storage-card and renamed it to "VOGUIMG.NBH". I then inserted the card into the device (with battery removed), inserted the battery, and pressed the power button to display the bootloader screen (RBGW bars).

The device immediately updated. I didn't have to touch a thing. Before I knew it, I was powering up and everything was perfect! No need to load any PRLs or run any other executables as all that stuff seems to be either included in the NBH or downloaded over the network, even though these files were also found separately in the executable. Activation took place automatically.

A special thanks to the previous authors for instructions in using the storage-card method.
Thanks jstich for the microSD rom update report. I also have to do this via the microSD since I only have a Mac. I have a quick question for you though. When I extracted the .exe file, there were two .nbh files (1.nbh and 2.nbh). Did you ever install the 1.nbh? Digging around I found that someone said it is the rom for the radio. Is this true? Could you check to see if the radio version got updated in your "device information" settings and whether your GPS and EVDO rev. A are both working.

Thanks!
