How do you flash a radio ROM w/o an SD card?

How do I flash the radio rom file that I have "VOGUIMG.nbh" (3.42.50) without using an SD card. I tried just dropping it into an RUU updater for another rom, because I was able to do that with my old phone, but it errored out.

So, how do I flash my radio w/o an SD card? (Please do not suggest flashing the entire Bell rom cotnaining that radio, I just want to flash the radio alone)

Thanks!!

I'm guessing that this has gone unanswered... I'd like to know as well if anyone knows.

The easiest way that I found to flash the latest radio is to download this and flash it. Or find the Bell mobility rom and flash the whole package, then flash the rom of your choice...

Awesome, that first link looks like it'll do what I need it to. Doing the entire bell rom isn't an option for me, for whatever reason if I go that route, it disables my internet connection once I get to the "rom of my choice" part, and that's a whole nother can of worms lol.

Huh... nevermind. Same problem as I had with the other "radio only" .nbh file I tried... I pop the nbh file into an installer to use via USB and it gives me the following error once it starts writing to the phone:

This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility.

it's the same update utility that came with NFSFAN's v13 rom. Any ideas? I suppose I can wait until I get my hands on a non-HC micro SD card... but I was hoping to get this done sooner rather than later.

Oddly enough for me it did. I definitely didn't let customizations run, yet it still did something that prevented me from connecting properly. I had someone at XDA forums suggest that I reinput my sprintpcs user/password in the connection manager, but that didn't do anything, neither did the prov cab from NFSFAN. Of course when I went back to the stock cab and went to NFSFAN v13 straight from there, it's working now. I guess I'll just have to get my hands on a non-HC SD card and try loading it from the bootloader.
