New ROM for Sprint Mogul

[duffman33]

OK, well I have been trying since yesterday to flash my mogul and I have as yet been unsuccessful. I believe I unlocked it correctly, but trying to flash a new rom via pc was not working as it would say either the connection was faulty when it was not or it would say the rom I downloaded (Mattsm's) was not valid. I then tried to flash it via sd, but it would go into bootloader and not do anything further, forcing me to reset it. Finally, I tried to unlock it with the sd card method, and downloaded the exe file, put it on an sd, and ran it on the mogul. It started, and said I had all the requirements, but when I pressed continue, it again just entered bootloader mode and refused to do anything else until I finally reset the mogul. The only clue I have at this point is that it said it should say 2.47 No2Chem on the bootloader screen when it has been run successfully, and mine still says 2.07 No2Chem. Please help!!!!

Some SD cards are just not going to work. There's no real reason to explain it,but they just won't work. My first card was a 1 gig PNY that I couldn' get to work. I finally tried a 2 gig Sandisk, and it worked first try. If you have another small SD card handy, give it a go.
Secondly, make sure you are using the proper file named the proper thing. After you download Matt's file, make sure you Unrar it to extract the file inside. Rename the file inside the necessary thing:
RUU_Signed.nbh - for flashing via USB
TITAIMG.nbh - for flashing via SD
It's usually safe to set your computer to show you file extensions, too, so you don't accidentally name it something like TITAIMG.nbh.nbh and not realize it.

How do I set xp to show extensions? I'm sorry, I'm actually on a mac, running boot camp for all my winmo type things... I definitely was making sure about the renaming too, going as far as copying and pasting from the ppc forums to ensure proper file naming. I'm still not sure why the usb method is acting up. Hopefully, I can try my other sd card. The one I'm using now is the one that came with the Mogul. I bought another bigger one, but have stuff on it so I didn't want to use that one. I'll try again in a little though. In the mean time, is there anything else that can be done? I feel like something should be working, I'm literally reading every step 20 times and trying everything here. Maybe I'm somehow still messing something up?

If your phone is still saying this in bootloader then it is not unlocked, so trying to flash the rom will not work.

bootloader must say 2.47 or 2.40

OK, I used a different card and successfully unlocked and then flashed my phone. It seems really sluggish right now but hopefully it'll get better. Thanks to all your help!
