flashing problem

hey guys, its not my first time flashing, but its been awhile since i last flashed and right now im trying to get nfsfan's new rom on my vogue and he says always flash in bootloader mode.

I'm in bootloader mode right now with the 3 color stripes and 2.31 coke showing up so its all good, but in bootloader mode my pc doesnt recognize the device and when i run RUU it says my device is not connected, windows mobile center cant see the device under bootloader as well....so im guessing i need to find a driver for it?

What I do is run the unlocker unzip into the directory of the latest rom I want to update to and it does the rest. Pretty easy from there. hope that helps.

Read through codybear's faq:

There is probably a little something that you are missing .

hmmm ive read the faq and instructions around 5 times now i dont think i missed anything...my phone is obviously unlocked cuz im already on nfsfans older rom, and do i remember what i did last time? not really....i know its a 6.5 rom....v12 i think

kuluminati, can you explain your post with a step by step procedure? maybe its cuz its like 3 am right now where i live so i'm tired as balls.....anywho thanks for the input

Leo,

What I do is download the latest version of the rom I want to flash.
Then I will unpack it to say C:\latestrom
From this point, I will make sure that there isnt another directory inside this one that has all the files.
Then I will run the Unlocker self extractor. I point this to C:\latestrom.
Then it will kick off automatically and start the process, You will need to then follow the onscreen prompts.

Let me know if this helps at all. I have done all of my roms this way and never had an issue.

Just try it again, the first time i connected it to my PC in bootloader mode it did not pick it up, but on the third try it did, loaded and works fine

kuluminati, now did u do that in bootloader or did you let the phone boot into windows mobile?

I suspect in bootloader.

i went to device manager and saw in Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM (with a exclamation mark beside it) in other devices, and it cant find any drivers for it, I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64

I actually let windows see my phone and then dont touch my phone from that point on. I do the rest of it from my machine. It has never failed me. Well there is the one spot you need to reseat the USB cable but thats it. It works great.
