endo006 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-29-2009, 08:05 AM

Brand new to flashing ROMS (NOOB) and I got my TP unlocked with ease, however I cant get the RUU to flash the ROM. I've been trying to get energy rom 7.28 flashed for LITERALLY about 42 hrs straight and I'm ready to dig my eyes out with a spoon! I've read EVERY post titled "unlocking and flashing for the noob", and every like post as well. The best I could come up with is there is aRUU_Signed.nbh file that I believe is necessary for the flash, but no RUU.zip file aside from the one that I used for the hard-spl contains this file... Is there anything anyone can tell/show/offer/give me to get me on my merry way?? PLEASE!!! Thanks in advance gentleman for ANY and ALL help you guys are willing to offer me...

RUU Errors
Here is a list of error codes and possible resolutions when attempting to flash a rom... I haven't come across all of these error personally, so utilize a bit of common sense when employing these suggestions... As always, remember that we are not responsible should you brick your device...

ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION

This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU.

ERROR [206] : MEMORY ALLOCATION
ERROR [280] : UPDATE ERROR

When you see any of these error messages, close other running programs on the computer and run RUU again.

ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN
ERROR [210] : FILE READ

These error messages indicate that RUU lacks certain important files and cannot continue with the update. Please get the complete RUU package again.

ERROR [212] : FILE CREATE
ERROR [214] : FILE WRITE
ERROR [222, 224] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING

These error messages will appear when remote access control has failed. Check the ActiveSync connection and try running RUU again.

ERROR [220] : MAIN BATTERY POWER

This error message will appear when the device’s battery power is not sufficient. Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it still has to make sure that your device has enough power to upgrade the radio. (Even when you plug in the AC adapter, the device is unable to charge the battery when it is upgrading the radio).

ERROR [238] : FILE READ

This error message may appear when, for some unknown reason, the ROM image on the phone is corrupt. Download the whole RUU and try again.

ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN

When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded image is placed in the directory of RUU. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again.

ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE
ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

ERROR [246] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING

This error message indicates that RUU cannot start the update process. Please contact your service provider for assistance.

ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.

ERROR [264, 274] : CONNECTION
ERROR [302~318] : UPDATE ERROR
ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND

These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.

ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL

This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU version to upgrade.

ERROR [330] : ROM IMAGE ERROR

This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to upgrade and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version to upgrade.

make sure that you are extracting the EnergyROM HERMAN 20090728.rar download, before you attempt to run it. After you extract it (to your desktop) you should have a Hermann_CustomRUU.exe file and a RAPHIMG.nbh file on your desktop. just open the Hermann_CustomRUU.exe and the flashing process will begin and you shouldn't get that error again.

I have now downloaded the EnergyROM (both standard & RD), Juicy 8, & MIGHTY ROM 6... when I download these to my desktop, all they come up as are .rar files, right around 100-120MB in size with NO option to unzip, or extract files, or anything. Does it sound like I may be missing some crucial software or something on my computer? I'm going to try my girlfriends machine here... I am running VISTA Home Pro and I do have the .NET framework, newest WMDC, etc... Any help out there, please help out. Any input will be much appreciated as by this point, this has turned into an all-out OBSESSION!! LOL!!!
