its no problem, but you can rest easy that you are not at risk unlocking.

Can't for the life of me get RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3.exe to run.

My account is the admin account. but getting: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Any thoughts? And I already tried "run as" - "administrator"

Should mention I'm running XP SP3

again, this is beyond the scope of this thread the HSPL thread is the correct one for this question. however I had this same issue, the problem is running as an administrator rights account isnt the same as really running as admin you need to right click and select run as admin, also this gets expanded in that there is another self extracting exe below the first one that you need to do the same thing to. and when you do this you need to set it to always function that way then after you have both exes set you can run one more time with success.

as for multiple roms yes, as long as you store the roms either in seperate folders or rename them to be unique names there is nothing stopping you from having more than one. I actually keep stock, the latest rom I am using, and whatever rom I want to test at a bear minimum.

What I do is name them to keep them straight in my mind. so STOCK.nbh, MIGHTY.nbh, JUICY.nbh, etc. then when you want to actually flash one of them just name that specific one to RHODIMG.nbh and when your done name it back.

So basically I can delete the original download of the rom rar file as long as its unpacked and on my sd card? Another question..Once I download another rom and unpack it as long as its not named RHODIMG.nbh it won't screw anything up? Like if I wanted to flash the new rom I'd just change the new one to RHODIMG.nbh and change the other one back?

Thanks in advance for the help!:grin:

correct, though when you unpack the rar file (or self extracting exe or zip etc.) you only need the .nbh file since the rest of the files are part of the RUU which is for flashing from the computer. other than that you were spot on with your assumptions.

I'm not sure why but it just refuses to work. I have a few old regular 1 and 2 gig regular SD cards and they will all flash seamlessly from SD. I don't know why but I remember this being an issue back in the TP1 days as well. I just keep an extra card with ROMS if I feel the need to flash but perhaps it's certain brands of SDHC? Again, I don't know but it has been the case with a few of my friends as well.

+1 here... Micro Center card. Could try to reformat but can't remember how I did the Garmin software & don't want to lose it. So, I just switch out cards now.
