If you are going to flash the rom you create then go ahead and connect your phone via USB so that you are in active sync.

1) Launch the Erviuskitchen.exe (using admin. privileges - right click - run as administrator) on your PC.

2) "Load Rom" upper left hand corner.

3) Now choose one of the predefined templates from the menu that pops up. I choose "23569_no_htc_msg.erv"

4) Now you have a long list of the components that will go into your rom. If something on the list is green- it is selected to go in. If something is greyed out it is deselected and will not go in. You select or deselected by double clicking the item. According to the Dr certain components cannot be taken out or your rom will not work or Sense will not load. I believe he said to leave the "zz_reg" section at the bottom alone (VZW MMS HTC is greyed out in the template I choose- but I did not mess with the others in this section). I think also all the components for Sense have to be left in. I tried to create a rom without the Twitter tab and Sense wouldn't load. I could be wrong though. Basically I deselected the apps I don't use or don't want cooked in like DotFred's Task Manager and SHowcase and MP3 trimmer.

5)When you are done selecting/deselecting choose "Create Rom" upper left corner and it will flash the rom to your phone. It takes a little while. The program spits out a very long list. Pauses a few times. Don't get nervous. Just wait it out. When it is done you will get the familiar screen you get when flashing (with the picture of your phone). Then just go through the steps like always.

6) If you choose to "Create Rom" and go ahead with the flash - the Rom is automatically exported to the "RELEASE_WHITESTONE" folder and named ruu_signed.nbh. So if you want to flash it again, that is where you can find it. I guess every time you create a rom this file gets overwritten. I am not sure. So to be safe, when you are all done, I would copy the "ruu_signed.nbh" and stick it in another folder with a familiar name (first_test_ruu_signed.nbh, or whatever).

@all - please feel free to correct any mistakes or write a more in depth tutorial or just share what you have learned about using this Imagio kitchen.

I am not sure I follow you.

1) You downloaded the unlocker to your computer. Connected your phone via Active Sync and successfully unlocked your phone?

2) Then you downloaded a rom to your PC, connected via active sync, ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, and you get this "error 244"?

3) The rom was for the Imagio right? Bc rom's are device specific. If you try to put a rom from the Touch Pro 2 or the HD2 on the Imagio you will brick your phone - so just making sure you got your rom from the Imagio upgrades forum?

Sorry - but if you can clarify with a few more details hopefully someone one here can help.

Also - did you try "Run as Administrator" (with the right click on the .exe and choose "Run as Administrator" from the menu)?

Steve - I actually don't have time to be addicted to this right now. It would be nice - but it takes such an investment of time to really know how to do this stuff right. I respect guys like you, and The Dr, your hard work and willingness to share is a blessing.

Need Help Folks. I got a replacement Imagio because my buttons were stuck on the old one. Now HARDSPL won't run saying that I've already run it once before. Anyone know what I need to do?

Donate the suggested amount and you will be able to run HardSPL. It is free only the first time you run it on your computer. Another option would be to run HardSPL on another computer to unlock the phone.

what can i do about bricked htc imagio phone giving me the tri colour screen? Any help??

[bawaji]

Is it the bootloader screen? If it is, and you haven't tried already, connect it to the PC using a USB cable and flash a ROM on to it. Hope that brings it back to life.
