I don't see the file "RUU_signed.nbh" anywhere in the RUU download.

The RUU in this thread is a noid (blank) RUU.....you need to DL a rom of your choice...use 7-zip or a programm of your choice to un-rar the file...7-zip is good free program...but most of the roms have an RUU with the signed NBH already in it.....so all you have to do is open the RUU and run the Rom Update Utility inside of it.....

I was able to update my ROM just by not doing a reboot to enter into bootloader.

The only mis-leading step here is "holding volume button and power button".

Step1: Do active sync.
Step 2: Copy the ROm file into the same folder as update utility, and Run "ROMupdateutility.exe"
Step3: Follow the steps.

That's all.

It is not mis-leading......you can do it either way...enter BL manually or it will enter itself when you start the process....does not matter....

Do people reflash back to the original stock version before they flash a new rom? I am aware that you should perform a hard reset upon flashing but I am wondering if anyone flashes back to the stock version, hard resets, then flashes new rom along with another hard reset after the new rom????

There is no need to......just the hard reset is important, otherwise you tend to have problems with some leftovers from the prior flashed rom....

I'm new to flashing ROM's (as my message will prove) and have been trying to install Scott Crosler's loaded ROM onto my Verizon Touch Pro.

I'm sure I screwed up in one or more places but don't know where.

I used Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.zip as my unlocker.

Moved scrosler.nbh into the RUU directory and tried to flash the phone. All I was able to get was a perpectual "loading" indication on the screen.

I also tried to rename scrosler.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh to load from an micro sd card which I reformatted (FAT32, default allocation). Same "loading" display.

Now my activesync doesn't work even though I unchecked the advanced configuration box under connection under settings.

I'm sorry for the long message but would really appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to flash my Alltel Touch Pro to Conflippers_Touch_Pro-1-9-09 rom with no success. I get the 262 communication error when trying to do so with my pc(s) and when trying to flash from my micro sd card I get the 0% status bar and never get beyond that point. I have tried EVERYTHING mentioned in this thread to no avail. A rep at HTC just told me that Alltel may have blocked my ability to flash with a 3rd party rom. The phone shows that it is unlocked so can it be that the ability to flash a custom rom is blocked?

I flashed my Sprint TP for the second time last night and it worked almost flawlessly. The hard part is taking the time to read through all of the pages and pages of others posts before you feel you have the idea down. By your descriptions, it looks like you are about where I am. The only glitches I had was when after I moved the RUU_signed.nbh thing (I didn't know what this was, was just supposed to know that it was the new replacement rom after the converted from the .rar compressed form) into the new RUU folder, and after I made sure the phone was in connection with Activesync on the pooter, I then ran the Update unitility (exe) which is in that RUU folder. The glitch was that the first time I tried running, the phone stayed in the tri-color mode and didnt switch to the progress page. There was no actual updating going on. And eventually I got an error message which I don't remember the number of. I had this same thing happen the first time I flashed my phone. So I left everything as it was except I disconnected the sync cord from the computer and reconnected it. I then went again into the RUU folder and ran the update utility again. This time the screens on the phone and the computer showed a progress bar for loading the new Rom. No problems occured after that. Now I am running Yay 4 Juggs. It's good.
