ok question

when you extract the file from the rom to the RUU folder on your desk top. when you open the folder, are you suppose to see a folder in the RUU folder itself that contains the ROM?

i dont know what im doing diff from the 1st time i flash a ROM.

i have my RUU on my desktop, i extract the file from the ROM into the RUU folder and then i run the utility..

im getting this error

i was able to flash a rom again, but using the custom RUU folder from the ROM itself. it worked but the ROM i downloaded is not stable.

help guys

I just flashed for the first time and wow was I nervous. I had to unlock via the SD card since I have a mac with no bootcamp, and I was having the tricolor screen loop which made me think I bricked my phone (I had no idea what to do).

I followed the SD card flashing instructions to the T and flashed with MightyROM 4.16. Worked flawlessly! I can't thank EVERYONE here enough!

So if you are having the loop of the tricolor screen just flash a rom, it worked for me!

Quick question though, if I wanted to flash a different rom do I just literally do the same thing or do I have to do something special to remove this rom first? Oh and can I delete the .nbh file at the root of my SD card or do I have to leave it there for this rom to work correctly? Sorry if they sound noobish, I can't help it I have a noob but my cherry as just been popped! Thanks again!

1st, congrats on the 1st flash. To answer ur question-replace current .nbh with the new one. then repeat the flashing steps(fone is already unlocked) from what i've read here, might wanna hard reset ur fone 1st, before flashing(hopefully i understood what i read, if not, anyone who knows...please correct me..thx)

K, that makes sense, thanks! But if I want to keep this mighty rom, do I have to leave the .nbh file on my storage card, or can I delete that (not sure if I need that still or not, but I'm guessing it is only needed for the flashing process).

exactly..u can back up that .nbh somewhere else, but on the sd card u wanna use, make sure only the .nbh u wanna flash is on the root...i think i heard, that u can put it in a folder on da same card and name the folder something totally different, that way the phone wont recognize the .nbh files on the root...me personally, i jus back it up on the pc or another sd card(ima a lil OCD like that...lol)

That's probably what I will do, just in case. Thanks again for your help!

no need to hard reset prior to flashing......when you flash it hard resets the phone.....after flashing is when you want to do a hard reset after the new rom boots fully.....the reason being is sometimes remnants of the previous rom are left over......
