An Easy Guide to Upgrading

[scootle]

great thread!

you know what would make it perfect is a "live" (updated) list of the official stock roms released from each carrier so that people have a sure-fire means to revert to stock if they decide this is not gonna work out.

i think first-timers will be reassured knowing the stock roms are easily found...

I must be missing something. I have the Verizon xv6800 and this is my first try at flashing (thanks for the writeup). When I get to step 4, the RUU starts, I hear the beeps, the phone blanks out for a moment, both the PC and phone show 0% - then it finally comes back and says "invalid vendor ID" - so no 3.16 ROM and no custom ROM. What should I try to get the 3.16 loaded? Thanks is advance

I'm a first timer and this thread really helped me make the flash. Great job. I would suggest other first timers to download their stock roms on their own. If you have a mogul then go to HTC. Couldn't be easier and you should have your own copy.

Hello,

When it says in this guide

7. Now you'll need to run a Rom Update Utility (RUU).
Some of the custom roms come as executables, so all you have to do is run them.
Others are just a single file that ends in .nbh. For those you will need a RUU.
>>> a. Click here to download an empty RUU
>>> b. Copy the .nbh file of your custom rom into the RUU folder
>>> c. Make sure there is only one .nbh file in the folder
>>> d. Double click RomUpdateUtility.exe to begin the update

When I try to download the file it wont let me, I looked at the URL on internet explorer and it says: ftp://up.ppcgeeks....n/roms/RUU.rar

Im missing some stuff, someone please help me, I want to upgrade rom today !!!!!

Hey guys,
I am really glad that this thread has helped all the newbies out there. That makes me happy.
I would ask, and this is probably part of the learning curve too, that you not PM me with
installation questions. That is why I created this thread. Chances are that if you post in here,
you're likely to get answers from the community much faster than I am sometimes able to provide.
Plus your questions and then the answers that follow could assist others too.

Thanks alot and have a GREAT flashing day!!

OK, I thought I would give this a try since there was a First Timers guide and all. I guess I have first timers problems...

I got my Mogul when it first came out, before it hit the stores. When it hit the stores I updated the ROM via the RUU program, which worked fine even though I was on Vista. As of this morning I was on the latest ROM/RUU from the HTC web site. No problems...

Following these intructions, I got the information from #1 & #2. Since I have a stock Sprint ROM, I skipped #3 as it describes. Now all my problems are in #4. When I ran it is started then stopped saying that there were communication problems. The mogul was in the bootloader. I started again, and it went for a while, then errored out suggesting that I follow some instructions to pull out the battery, etc. I did that but it lost communication again.

At this point the boot loader says TITA100 MFG / SPL-2.03.1000 / CPLD-9.

Now when I run the RUU I get error 328. Restared it with XP compat but no difference. Searching the forums brought up a reference to this post (http://www.modaco.com/content/Window...ltimate-guide/). It didn't make sense to me since I have already had success with Vista, but I followed it anyway. Now the RUU does not error but it did hang at 0% for the last few hours.

Now what?

Wow. That really stinks.
Try unplugging your phone and then rebooting the computer.
Turn off your phone and then back on. This should put you back into the
bootloader screen (tri-color).
I have noticed that Vista can get picky sometimes and just needs a reboot.
I have only used Vista for all my flashes. And only once did I absolutely have
to reboot it. But that did solve the problem.
Hope this helps you.

Rebooting didn't help.

Go back to step 3. Re-run the reLocker.
Once you get 1.06 SPL Bootloader installed either run the Unofficial Sprint 3.16 release
again. Or install an official carrier released rom (2.09/2.17).
