Simple steps to flashing your own rom

[rrvo]

Yes. I do have some questions and confusion about SD rom flashing. I've flashed several roms via usb to my 6700 and recently to my 6800 and it's never failed to be a headache. So the potential to bypass those problems and flash via the SD route is very inviting.

But I have a few points of confusion after reading this thread and GaMedic's tutorial on the subject.

1. Does the unlocker file (I'm using the nueSPL-2.47) need to be run only once to unlock your phone, or does it need to be run each time you flash a new rom? (I suppose another way of asking this is, "Does the phone re-lock itself after each new ROM is flashed?)

2. I installed the new radio (3.42.50) via SD and it's working fine. And installed a new 5067 kitchen via SD and it's working OK, but I need to re-cook the ROM with some different features and reflash. However I haven't yet been able to accomplish the re-flash. I can get to the bootloader screen (SPL-2.40), but when I put the ROM in the SD card's root directory and try to flash it (pwr/cam/reset) the tricolor screen goes away for an instant, during which time the gray screen says "loading," but then the tri-color instantly returns and the phone just sits there, seemingly doing nothing. I'm obviously doing something wrong...I just can't seem to grasp what it is!

O great ones, take pity on your uneducated fellow mogul-traveler and enlighten me.

1 once your mogul is unlocked its unlocked till you run the relocker
1a nuespl is version 2.47 so you are probably running olipro and not the nuespl you install nuespl by running the exe on your phone not the sd card but the phone memory. (your memory card will get wiped if you dont have it already formated to fat 32 so make sure you back it up. it will format your card.

2 are you renaming the nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh ? I dont know if its case sensitive but I always did it uppercase TITAIMG and lowercase .nbh

Hi everyone. I've read over all the posts and I feel like I understand what's going on, but I'm still scared. Would anyone be so kind as to walk me through the process of updating my phone. I have a HTC Mogul 6800 and I'm currently running Windows Mobile 6. I'm trying to upgrade to 6.1.

I live in Brooklyn, so if anyone local doesn't mind spending a few minutes with me over the phone please message me. All I have to give is my gratitude, hopefully that will be enough

well I am at work so I cant really do it over the phone, but if you post your questions here, i will get back as soon as I can. but sprints latest stock rom just came out yesterday. if you go to htc's website you can download that rom which has windows 6.1 and the latest radio, from there its just loading nuespl and flashing your rom. I am assuming you are on sprint since you said you have the mogul.

I just realised part of what I said might gget your confused, the latest official rom shoudl have windows 6.1 stock now, but if you flash a custom rom, you have to make sure it is 6.1 although 99.999999999% of the roms out there are windows 6.1 nowadays

I just ordered Sprint's HTC Touch so I should get it tomorrow. I've been browsing these forums for the last couple of days so I would know what to do when I get it. I still have questions, but I think the majority of them will be answered once I sit down and start flashing. Being my first PPC, I must admit I'm a little nervous... in the same way you get nervous when you're flashing your PC's BIOS.

Mainly just wanted to say thanks for this thread and holding on to it for later.

Just make sure you replace NueSPL and/or Olipro w/ ImCoKeMaN 2.31 in the tutorial:
Here is the Vogue Unlocker Thread in Vogue Forum
oh and dont forget, you have a 6900, not 6800... make sure your grabing a Vogue Rom

Yeah it's the Vogue. Thanks for those links I just got this thing activated today and messed around with the default cube and UI long enough to want it changed already... not to mention unlocking the GPS. I guess I'm off to look for ROMs now...
