Bricked. Out of ideas.

The other problem is that i have no idea what to tell the sprint people when i take this back in.

"Yeah, well it does work the way it was intended...but it won't flash unofficial ROMs correctly."

[djfujiyama]

help? Anyone?

Which version of the bootloader are you running?

If you are copying two .nbh files to the SD card you cannot be following the instructions, which require that you rename the file on the SD card to TITAIMG.nbh.

If 2.17 installed and runs fine, you must have the old bootloader. Try installing the Olipro 2.40 hard-SPL, then copy the large .nbh file from the 3.16 package to the SD card, rename the file, and continue with the SD card flashing instructions.

I think you're following me.

The reason i said i copied two files over is because the instructions said to copy *.nbh and there were two files. I ended up trying it with two and with one and i get the same result. And yeah, i did rename it. I tried renaming one, then the other, then individually, and nothing.

I do have the old bootloader. It's essentially stock, since the only thing that's ever been able to work is stock roms and the relocker. I feel like they're locking refurbs so people can't mod them. Nothing im trying seems to work.

I can't run 2.40 Hard-SPL. It doesn't work. It brings up the error 262 screen: utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. I've tried it from the bootloader and from the home screen. Same thing. Do i need to disable WMDC or something?

There was something in one of the threads about Vista machines needing new drivers or an upgraded WMDC from Microsoft. You could give that a shot. That does not explain why you cannot flash from the SD card however.

Another option is there are strong rumors that the official update will be posted on the HTC site on the 10th. If you cannot flash that, you have a legit reason to take the Mogul back to the Sprint store for replacement.
