Please help this very computer dummy out. I have put the properly renamed file on my root drive of internal storage . I push down volume, power and backspace and it goes to bootloader and sits there . What should I do next ?
thanks

How do you get it out of bootloader mode if you decide not to flash when you are in the screen asking you if you want to flash?

Reset button on back?

Thanks. I found out the flash screen gives you an option to cancel and not flash

I have a suggestion for the OP.
You may want to change your thread title to:
Flashing a Rom or Radio from the 4 gig internal storage

This will make it easier for people searching this info to find your thread.
Yesterday we had a new thread started in the Upgrade section, because someone
searched flashing a radio from the internal storage, and didn't see your thread pop-up.
Adding the words Radio and Internal to your thread title will make it show up in more searches for that subject.

is there a different method for booting on a wm6.5? or a different name for the nhb?

Not sure I understand your question, but 6.5 boots the same way as 6.1 and the the roms are still .nbh files.

yea theres no difference in flashing or starting up between windows 5 6 6.1 or 6.5

I've been able to successfully flash from storage but I come up with an issue several hours later. I use PIM Backup 2.8 to save my contacts and such, flash, then restore. I load a few cabs - nothing fancy - but after a while, the phone slows down to a snails pace. Eventually I can't do anything and if I hit the rest button, it wont even boot. The only solution is a hard reset. I start over, restoring from backup and such only to have the same happen again a few hours later. This happens regardless of which rom I flash (tried mighty6 and AJM). The only solution I found was to flash using a pc the shipped rom followed by a custom. Been fine ever since - even after restoring the backup contacts and cabs. I have to think there's something not quite right with an internal flash. anyone have similar issues or advice?

Edit: I tried flashing without the backup and its been working fine ever since. I'm guessing it was something Backup was doing. I read somewhere to only backup contacts, msg and appointments. tied that and it has worked fine since the restore.

Anyone figure out how to unzip a rom on phone? It seems that the roms are a bit too big for the phone as the unzip util first puts the rom into internal memory before copying it over. If your internal space is too small (like when using Mighty6) your up the creek and can't unzip another rom to fix your problem. so it requires doing on a puter.
