Sprint 700wx 1.15 Update

[Xxsrt4xX]

Has anyone solved the problem of the TurboSFX error that plagues some of us when trying to load the updater? Will using winRAR to extract bypass the TurboSFX feature?

Hello. i tried doing the update. basically the turbo sfx kicks in, and after it's finished, notepad pops up with html code. please help. my phone was connected to PC via activesync. i did everything according to the sprint instructions!

First extract the contents of the updater using winRAR to any directory. I will use 'c:\700WX' for the example.

Second, plug in the USB cable and charger to your WX and check device manager for HTC sync device at the bottom. If it does not show up just remove you battery with the cables still connected and put it back in, worked like a charm for me.

Third, go to command line and type in 'C:\700WX\ruucmd.exe -asyncoff -t -v C:\700WX\FwAndRom.ruu' and execute. It will prompt to press a key to begin.

You should see some info on the screen indicating progress and your WX screen should show radio and firmware updating with a progress bar. When it completes it will be at a plain Treo logo. Give it a few minutes and if it doesn't proceed just perform a hard reset and your device should be ready to go.

Hope this saves a couple of you from having to make a trip to the store.

Happy Flashing,

I strongly suggest that people consider this update before doing it on their phone. It has issues and after the update, you will not be able to connect to internet via USB cable.

Well, I've friggen had it! Finally got the update to work, lost all my contacts, performed a Sprite Restore, everything came back except for contacts. Now the damn thing will connect to active sync, but will not actually perform a sync. I'm on the phone with sprint technical support right now. I'm going to shoot for a replacement phone.....namely the Mogul. I'll let you all know how it goes.

For my experience, if the phone is working for you with no issues, well I recommend not to update.
