How To Flash Your Touch Pro - Page 23

OK so I've been trying to update my to JMZ's 6.5 ROM but every time I try via card I get an infinite "Loading..." screen and it never goes away unless I do a soft reset. I have also tried doing it via RUU way and it doesn't get past 0% on the phone or the PC. JMZ also had a exe file to do it all and that ended with the same result. I tried updating on a Windows 7 32bit box and also on a vista 64bit box and I got the 0% error "The RUU has encountered communication errors during the update process."

(One note...It clearly says do not disconnect the USB cable but I hear the sound notification of it being connected and disconnected every few seconds.)

I am using an Alltel TP with ROM version 1.05.671.4 (WIN 6.1)

I am convinced its just an ID10t error but has anyone had the same issue? This is my first flash so this might explain alot.

what rom are you trying to flash? are you unlocked already?

make sure you have activesync (winXP) or WMDC (Vista) installed and that you can sync...
then check bootloader for cmonex to make sure your unlocked...
you can even follow that post you linked and try flashing while in bootloader mode
dont forget you can always flash via SD Card (my recommended method)

good luck !!!

Hey guys... really sorry to be irritating. Trying to flash a custom ROM (Mighty's 4.16) for the first time. I've run out of things to f**k with, so yeah... lol

Unlocking from the SD Card was easy and the tri-color page shows the whole CMONEX thing as I believe it should.

My issue is with the flashing, now. I need to do it from the SD Card as well, but when entering the tri-color page I see a white screen flash with a message about no file or something like that. I tried to be very careful to ensure the file was named and placed properly and, like I said, it worked for unlocking. Attached is a screenshot of the files name and place.

Advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

file name looks right, did you format the card to FAT32?

wait, you said you unlocked using this card

so that means it would be formatted FAT32, right?
have you tried a different NBH files? you did extract the NBH prior to renaming right?

Yes, sir... although I did just reformat it again to be sure. No change.

I thought I read somewhere, trying to find and answer, that you could run an exe off the main storage to initiate the ROM install... but it seemed confusing the way it was worded, does that make any sense? lol

I have not tried different NBH files... though I suppose I should. I definitely extracted prior to the rename, also tried different orders of copying and extracting, lol, not that it should make a difference (I wouldn't think).

that's to unlock via SD Card, you run the SSPL exe from main memory...

Ok, I thought it was describing something similar for the flash process, gotcha.

Hrm... guess I am going to have to throw together a Windows box here somehow, lol.
