Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

Try pushing it to 624. Thats where I had mine for a long time and loved it.

I had it there for a while but it actually seems much faster on the lower setting, especially when loading stuff from the SD card... LOL, must be my phone, the fussy thing it is. :)

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

No i had the same issue, when clocked too high it would seem like it strained more and would require more restarts. I ended up with a kirvin C&S rom that worked great. Now I am stuck with vista and a new verizon phone with 1.04 bootloader and having a hell of a time getting this thing to flash...

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

Did you:

1) Go into your Mobile Device Center / Mobile Device Settings / Connection Settings and uncheck "allow USB connections"
2) Restart Vista
3) Run your flash program when it is ready to connect to the phone,
4) Put phone in bootloader mode and then connect to Vista via USB

This should work like a charm as long as you are not trying to flash Alltel's OEM ...

Also in the BuildOS make sure you have selected the proper REV# at the top of the screen... also make sure you are not trying to flash too much to the device (I flash with the minimum and then just add all the programs I want after).

This should work, it worked for me after spending about 4 hours with a phone locked in bootloader and no internet connection... LOL! ;)

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

did you build your rom in build OS?

And do I have to unlock the phone since it is a newly received replacement phone that they somehow locked it from being able to be flashed???

I unchecked "Allow USB connections" in mobile device center
Restarted computer
Ran BuildOS and hit build rom
I put the phone in bootloader and connect it via USB
Now I hit next once the rom is ready to flash
It hangs at "checking information on device... Please Wait"
Gives me an Error 101: CONNECTION ERROR

My phone is NOT stuck in bootloader after this, I can soft reset it. It goes back to its retarded WM5 stock rom. I have also tried with the phone just connected and NOT in bootloader just on and same thing. wtf i swear this thing must be locked somehow.

ok WOW it worked... the problem was when I opened up device manager, I noticed an exclamation point next to my mobile device when it was plugged in. The microsoft USB sync driver was corrupt. I uninstalled it, plugged in my device again and it installed a working driver. The rebuilt the rom and magically it worked! thanks for the help guys!

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

Awesome!! Your documented experience will likely help someone else along the way.

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

I keep mine there. Try pushing 700+ MHz, bwahahaha. It turns an Apache into a bagel warmer! :mrgreen:

Re: Cant load a new rom with vista?
 

Yep that darn old exclamation point will do it everytime! :)

Very glad you got it going!

:D
