My PC: Windows Vista
Phone: VX-6800
Carrier: VZW

I used the OliPro 2.40 and everything worked perfect until i got to the end to exit bootloader. Phone is stuck on the rainbow, shows OliPro 2.40, however every time i try any of the exit bootloader programs it advises unable to connect, make sure I have disabled USB in WMDC, which I have, and make sure USB cable is connected correctly, which I also have. The only other problem I see if while WMDC has usb disabled the phone is still be detected by VISTA and showing up in device manager under mobile devies at HTC USB Device or whatever. Any help will be appreciated. I tried the one thread that stated to end the two wcesXXXX processes and rigp or whatever but still no luck.

thanks

Not sure exaclty where you are at with this. (what steps got you to stuck in bootloader)
But if all you have done is unlocked and are now stuck in bootloader 2.40olipro.
Then just flash a custom rom

yes, just stuck in the bootloader but when i run ruu isn't that uploading a stock if you will ROM? b/c i do that and then run the prog to exit bootloader and it won't connect/detect phone... I am d/l your ROM now to test it out and see if i get any futher....

with the phone in bootloader hook up the usb.
run the rom update utility containing the nbh file.
If vista is showing mobile device in device manager then it sees it.

ok, so the after the ruu with the default small nbh file with OLIPRO that just unlocked it but deleted my old rom and now I need to install another one so it will actually move past the booth screen?

wish i realized that first if that is correct, lol, trying to d/l 60 meg rom off neighbors wifi from 4 houses down, crappy speed.

thanks again!

ok, now i have not loaded any type of radio either, just the rom, may this be my first problem? do i need to load radio prior to rom? or need to still load a radio before it will move out of bootload?

f*ck vista, lol, just tried it with my laptop in the truck on XP Pro and it worked better, this time after loading the Mattsm mbh rom the phone atleast restarted and got out of the bootloader, however it booted up to the Codefest 2009 screen and doesn't move any futher along...

once you've gotten un-stuck from bootloader, when you boot up it flashes red letters and numbers on the bottom...
if it says 1.XX then you need to upgrade your radio once it says 3.XX then you should be good

here is a radio i just found within minutes

ok, i was thinking everytime i uploaded a rom it was like a fresh install situation and wiped the past rom off, but thats not the case, i can install the first rom i did, then the matt rom, and then the radio rom and they all work together?
