Hey ppl.. htis problem has been buggin me for all weekend.. can anyone answer these not so simple question

Why does every ROM i download, have a CORRUPT .nbh file on extraction (with winrar or 7zip)
ROMs downloads: MIGHTYROM, JUICY R10 and Energy ROM all for sprint CDMA...

Ive tried to download from different laptops, vista and XP.. different browsers.. Firefox, safari and IE...

Ive turned off the antivirus... no activesync connecion as the fone is now bricked but the tircolour screen shows "USB" upon connection wid the computer.. and i have flashed from her ebefore..

So any solutions ppl? an it doesnt make sense.. why do three different roms.. all extract corrupted.. what causing this soooooooo annoying problem?
I know im not the only one.. so what have others done..

your help would be very much appreciated...

thanks

hmmm. I haven't had any problems myself, dunno why you're having probs downloading.

also, this should have been posted in the general touch pro 2 section

I see Carrier: O2/Vodafone under your profile... if you're overseas, maybe it could be an issue with your ISP?

Relocated to the Touch Pro 2 forums.

Does winrar claim that the file is corrupt upon extraction?

If winrar is telling you every file is corrupt, I'd say thats a winrar issue cause the odds of EVERY rom being corrupt are not very likely. Or your comp isn't downloading them correctly. Its happened to me before. Reinstall winrar, restart your PC, and try again.

but if its happening with 7zip too, then theres something else going on.

op, do you have a peer blocker installed, or anything? are you running as admin?

uninstall WinRar

reinstall winrar

download rom using IE 8 might help

If not check file associations and make sure winrar is prepped to open up 7zip

Is your device and carrier gsm?
If so and you have tried to flash a cdma rom then that's really bad!

Hope not!

OP: Carrier: O2/Vodafone

Yea that might be a problem..

nah ppl.. ive been downloading CDMA roms (i.e mightymike).. but they work in GSM network so that cant be the issue...

i have downloaded on IE and Firefox (and safari on a MAC)

I have extracted on winrar AND 7zip for the energy and Juicy rom...

In my opinion thru deductions.. it cant be the extractor (winrar), the browser, the ROM type or ROM itself bcuz no one has yet to report this issue... and ive turned off the Antivirus upon extraction to no avail...

This problem is really stumping me.. and i cant see any other avenues...
