Need to Flash back to stock but usb port is dead!

datapusher · #1 (**permalink**) 04-08-2008, 01:15 AM

Well my usb port on the phone is no longer functioning. I belive one of the pins is bent.

which brings us to my dilema. I need to take my phone back to Sprint and replace it with a functioning one.

Only problem is I can't take it back to a Sprint store with no2chems latest rom now can I.

So is there any way that I would be able to flash back to a stock rom without using the USB connection?

I believe that you can flash some custom roms from the SD card. I wonder if flashing to a stock rom is a possibility.

Any guidence is appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

you can flash via SD Card

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash (use winrar) from the exe or zip and put it on the microsd card, rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
3. Put the MicroSD card in your phone reboot to the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.

thanks much. I was pretty sure that there was a way for the SD card. Now anpother quick question. My card is already formated as fat32. If I flash from my card will the data on the card be left untouched?

click the

if you feel that someone helped you out...

As far as the data, never actually done a flash from the card on PPC, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as it's already been formated FAT32 - however i would still recommend a backup of data on the card... just in case, yanno?

i would take his advice i have nevr flashed with the sd card i am using because i happen to have a spare 1 gb memory card layin around so thats how i do things if i am having an issue with the ruu or whtevr arises. but i think everything should be intact. be sure to delete the .nbh after flashing though. in case you flash again.

did you try the flash via SD Card? make sure you place the nbh @ the root of the SD Card and appropiately name it? did the flash give you an error, or even start?

To Lock or Unlock you will need to be able to connect via activesync
