Custom ROM on the TP

caswenson69 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-22-2008, 02:20 PM

I am having a problem putting a custom ROM on my Pro. I have the phone unlocked and have verified this. First I tried to use active sync to put nueROM on the phone and it comes up with a Error 204 saying it can't read the file name. So then secondly I tried from the SD card, which is formatted to FAT32. When I load up bootloader is says its starting to load then just goes to the bootloader screen and sits there. I've changed the file name to what it saya to change it to (RAPHIMG.nbh). I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Is your microSD card 2GB or less in size? If 4GB or more, you can't use it. SDHC isn't supported yet.
If you're on Windows, you can just use RUU to flash the ROM.

Download the RUU from here. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266
Extract it somewhere. Put the nbh in the folder and name it RUU_signed.nbh
Then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
You can do it while in bootloader mode, though I think it'll also work even if the phone's already booted into WM.

The problem he's having is the ROM's are only being supplied w/the RUU file. Anyone have a quick link to the RUU files that he can use?
