upgrade image 0.0.0.0 what is wrong?

[avdude]

I have been trying for days to upgrade to the .15 radio from a .10 .... I have bootloader 2.3.1 installed.... when i download the leaked rom and click on the file I get a windows message saying ruu has encountered a problem and will close.. when i unpack the file with winrar and click on the ruu update exe the ruu interface comes up and when I get to the update image screen I hit update and get a update file version of 0.0.0.0 I have bricked and unbricked and sucessfully upgraded before but with this file I have hit a wall .... I'm newby so i could very well be doing something wrong and got this far on pure luck so any help you's can offer would be appreciated..

Avdude.. I figured out a fix. For some reason we are both having this problem when trying to do the USB flash. Do this instead.... It worked perfectly..

1. Format the 512 micro SD card that came with the phone using Fat32

2. Decompress the leaked Rom onto this card.

3. Rename the file 2.nbh to VOGUIMG.nbh (be carefull as there is a 1.nbh and a 2.nbh) you want to rename the larger 2.nbh file

4. Insert card and do the power/camera/reset boot sequence

5. The phone will now flash the ROM from the Micro SD card and not the USB cable... works perfectly this way.

6. Enjoy version 3.37.15

I tried ... it didn't work for me ... When i enter bootloader with the sd card with the rom loaded on it, It goes to a loading screen for a min then returns to bootloader and sits there???? I'm going to reformat the card again and give it another try ...???? Thanks for the tip....

I had this exact same problem. The solution ended up being using a different machine to run the exe. Both the alltel and sprint roms crapped out on my desktop (0.0.0.0) and actually made my radio go bye bye. But from my lappy, the sprint exe worked fine.
