When i take my nbh file and move it to the ruu folder it won't let me do anything after that. An error pops up and wants to use the net to find a program to open up the file???? I'm stuck......I've also tried other forums ways of flashing and still no luck. It's prob something simple I'm missing but any help would be great......

Thanks
If you have confirmed that your device is unlocked, then you just need to download the custom rom of your choice to your desktop, establish a sync connection, then make sure to extract the rar file (most of rar files) to a folder on your computer. use winrar in case you dont have it, search downloads.com and you can get it. its a trial for 40 days but works after that as well so dont worry. Once you extract the rom to a folder, it is already packaged to flash. just make sure you connected via a sync (xp) or wmdc (vista) and within the folder select ROMUpdateUtility and follow the prompts. you do not need to take the nbh out and move it to another ruu.

now some of other roms are exe which are easier since you dont need to extract them, just download the exe to your pc and establish a sync and flash away. Hope this helps. ** i do know it says to take the nbh out but its not necessary since most roms are packaged already to flash by our chefs. Good luck!
