Hello
I've searched on this forum and can't find the answer to my specific question.
I upgraded a while back to MrClean AKU 2.3 and now I need to downgrade because the unit needs to be sent back under warranty due to screen alignment issues.
So I unpacked the i-mate WWE ROM, and replaced the ROMUpdateUtility from that with the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe, which I downloaded from the XDA FTP site. (This is because using the standard one supplied gives a ROM upgrade error 296: UPGRADE ONLY error.)
As far as I can make out, the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe is just patched to not validate the current version when upgrading.
"Brilliant, this should work", I think.
But I get the following error:
"ERROR [238]: FILE READ... the update utility cannot open the requested file. Please check your update utility"
(see here http://static.flickr.com/111/306871020_8aa37f337e_o.gif)
Please help, anyone, I am coming up to the end of my warranty period and reeeeally want to get this crappy broken screen alignment problem sorted!
Thanks in advance
* bump *
Hope it's not considered rude to bump here, just would love to solve this problem as tis driving me a bit mad
Many thanks in advance

Hey
Thanks for the tip. You were right, it must have been a corrupt .nbf file.
I tried to downgrade and the progress bar started and finished and all seemed to go well.
But when I boot up again I get the white MrClean ROM splash screen still!
Is it possible the update was done but the splash screen was not replaced?
Or perhaps the update wasn't actually done? Which version number do I look for? I used the .nbf file packaged in with the imate ROM K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe
Please help!
try using this rom to downgrade with... after that you should be able to upgrade to any official rom. Make sure that you pick an official one as the above rom downgrades the ipl/spl as well.
ohh... and make sure that you restore the CID lock as well, they might be get rather cranky otherwise...
Good luck
Hello
Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate the advice. I would feel so out-there-on-my-own without it! I bought the imate off contract from expansys and it was really expensive and so really don't want it to end up a brick as I can't afford another right now!
I successfully downgraded to that QTEK custom ROM.
But now when I upgrade again to K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship (latest).exe from that QTEK ROM, it doesn't work! Upgrade error again [ERROR 296]
Here are the screens I get:

Just to clarify... is the phone CID-locked? You might also want to try flashing it with the K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe ROM before upgrading it... you can also try putting the phone in bootloader mode, press and keep pressed both the keys on the right side and then insert the pen in the resetbutton, before trying the upgrade...
EDIT: msmobiles.com shows the following regarding the particular error:
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

Hey Nomad
Thanks again for the advice. This is all really really helpful. Going to try what you suggested a bit later.
I think I CID unlocked the phone - to be honest it was a while ago and I just remember blindly following someone's instructions (I was at a point of desperation at the time for another reason!)
Either way, I am pretty sure it would have to have been CID unlocked because I flashed the ROM from the imate default one to the MrClean one.
I did some initial looking around about CID relocking the device but still not sure how. Does the lockiwiz give the option of locking the CID as well as unlocking it?
Thanks!
Mat
I flashed from the QTEK custom ROM to the K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe after doing that special reset whilst in the bootloader. This flash upgrade worked but again it didn't remove the splash screen from the QTEK custom ROM.
But now whenever I try to flash to the latest imate ROM K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe using the default RUU I get ERROR [296] UPGRADE ONLY.
And when I try to flash to the same ROM using the noID RUU I get ERROR [238]: FILE READ ERROR.
(On that last one, I have re-downloaded both the noID RUU and the extractable archive K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe from the XDA FTP.
So, I'm still unable to get my ROM to the imate version! Many thanks for your help!

Tried another desktop computer - no help
Hard reset the MDA - no help
I got the error 262 every time.

Hello,
I executed the Hard SPL cab and went into bootloader or some sort of a multi colored screen which says IPL - 0.50 Trin100 and underneath it says SPL 3.03.0000. It connects to my computer and says USB but when I attempt to flash the new WM6 rom which I just downloaded from the rapidshare it resets the machine and continues to remain on this screen of multi colored stuff. I cannot seem to get out of it no matter what I do. What do i need to do to abort the multi colored screen or allow it to flash my HTC trinity with the Dopod WM6 rom?
Thanks,
Gilbert
PS: please don't shoot me if this was discussed elsewhere. i searched and could not fine anyting

it keeps giving me error in connection and i think i bricked my phone i tried to reinstall several times and i get the same results. Poor me.
Same hapen to me, then ive tried to instal over it a another rom and it came to life.
if you're in the bootloader already, try and run the RUU (update program) again on your pc after reconnecting your device.. if that doesn't work, please give details of the error. I don't think you're bricked yet

Try to flash PDAVIET version, my came to life doing this
have you tried to flash any other ROM? I was stuck with the same thing, but managed to flash a cooked ROM..
what's your bootloader showing?
if you fail to flash any other ROM, i think you need to try the stack overfow exploit posted here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691&highlight=error+206
it's a bit technical, but i think it's your best bet if all else fails.. Pof might be able to help you over there
No matter what i do, what rom i try to flash i get the same damn error message: Error 260 - Connection!!! I am connected so I don't what is wrong with it. I will try some more then decide to take a hammer and break it into 1000 peices.
Thanks.

My bootloader is showing the following:
Trin100
IPL-0.50
Trin100
SPL-3.03.0000
Thanks for all your help.
hmmm... i'm not familiar with that SPL number... unless somehow that got halfway updated with the WM6 update.
I think you better head to that thread and try the stack exploit. Did you try loading a cooked ROM to see what happens?
that is it. i give up. i am not experienced in messing with codes. i am going to retire the device for good and use a regular phone. this is crap. thanks for ur help.
oh, that is the SPL version of the new ROM... i guess you weren't using hard spl when you tried to flash it?
ha, well don't give up too quick.. that's one expensive retired device you've got there.
Just keep cool and you should try to install an official Rom to downgrade this SPL !!

Help!
My bootloader is showing the following:
Trin100
IPL-1.00
Trin100
SPL-9.99.CP
When upgrading with the new released WM6 ROM, it keeps failing at 28%
Please help!
best bet for you, is load a different ROM now. Either cooked or official. That will get your device out of crash-proof spl bootloader.
Once the ROM is loaded, if you want to try the official wm6 again, run SSPL first and see if it'll work for you
p.s. i pm'd you my handphone number in case you've got trouble still..

Hi Gilbert,
Im having exactly the same problem as you. Right now im in the middle of flashing it back down to WM5 (its working at the moment at 17%).
Hopefully after this i will be able to flash back to WM6 (Most probably will go back to AX3L for now).
Hope this helps you out (im quite stressed about it too!)
Edit: I have just finished flashing to Official WM5, now flashing back to AX3L WM6. It works!
Stuck at 28% of upgrade

I don't think so. My Hard-SPL was overwritten and now has the 3.0 version and not SPL version 9.99.
9.99 is NOT Hard-SPL, it's Des's Crashproof spl which is not even trying to prevent itself from being overwritten.
OliPro?
Hello
What about OliPro SPL-1.20.Olipro with IPL-0.5
Can it also be overwritten or wich hard spl do I need first to flash?
Roman
don't worry , simply follow the instruction and reflash it again with the new rom , then it will pass through the 28% ...

I guess you're in a pickle. There must be a way around not having an official Orange rom. Have you tried the SD card method from an Orange rom dump? Otherwise, the rom cookers should be able to come up with something. With all of these people trying these roms certainly you must not be the only one with an Orange phone. Good luck .
Hi Guys,
I am also stuck @ bootloader. I have the original rom, but how do I flash this back? It keeps on telling me that it cannot detect the phone. What can I do? Thank you!
You can flash the spl from the bootloader via mtty, but that's not something Ive seen clear instructions on how to do... you might want to log into #xda-devs in freenode IRC and get stepped through it.
If you're stuck at the bootloader, just try running the hard-spl flash right from there...

Yeah, I thought deleting 'SPL.nbh' would prevent the RUU from installing the new SPL but the Hard-SPL got overwritten on flashing.
Kris
there are 2 spl entries in the release... spl.nb and spl.nbh... you have to remove both. also I'd remove the ipl.nb...
These are the files inside the exe:
EnterBootloader.exe
ErrorBattery.fig
ErrorUSB.fig
ModelID.fig
rapitool.exe
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.cfg
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU_signed.nbh
SPL.nbh
I suppose you meant to remove the .nb entries inside RUU_signed.nbh

Hi all,
How to upgrade rom via bootlaoader menu (after pressing the camera and hardreset)? If it's possible could you tell me which ROM i can use to upgrade a HTC advantage x7500/ATHENA-C9 with these info on bootloader menu:
ATHE100
IPL-v1. 00
ATHE100
SPL-v1. 07. 0000
Thanks for help!
Hi marius
I read your other post today and seeing no one else has replied , I will try to help you.
Have you tried a hard reset ?
If you have and had no luck , try to find an original shipped rom consistent with your spl and flash while in bootloader .
Don't try to flash any of the doctored roms, either spl 1.2 or 3.5 as you will not be able.
It is a long time since I have used the unlocker but I think if you read through the later posts , the authors used a wrapper program that requires an initial activesync connection to work.
I will look in here occasionally to see if you get it sorted or you can pm me if you have a question.
regards michael
Hello Lakeman,
if i write you it's because i read your reply below and i'm very happy.
1rst, i tried hard reset but it didn't work.
In fact, here is my story:

Many thanks!

Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my HTC x7500 via SD card using a .nbh file found in ap3.rar
but it didn't work. After enter in the bootloader, it displays "loading..." and "00068002" and after few seconds it's going back to the colored screen displaying the Rom version 1.07.0000
What does the "0068002" mean? i suppose it's an error code.
Please could somebody help me get a image file version earlier than 1.07.0000?
thnks!

Hi marius
I assume you read
[/QUOTE]
Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset.
[/QUOTE]
sometimes sd flashing wont work with an sdhc card
but in any case you have not unlocked the rom yet.
You need spl 1.2 to flash the ap3 rom
I cant remember if you are the guy trying to find a dutch rom but try and find an original rom for your athena and then flash that.
once it is working you can apply the unlocker and then flash any rom
Hi lakeman,
Unfortunately i can't use the spl 1.2 to unlock my HTC X7500 because it crashes just after startup (when displaying desktop) preventing me from using. Is there a possibility to use the spl 1.2 via the miniSD card? I'm not using the sdhc card.
Thanks for help!
hi again
youmust unlock the athena before flashing an spl1.2 rom
you can flash your original rom from the bootloader menu to get a working rom ,
once you have done this you can use the unlocker and then flash any 1.2rom

Marius you need to get the original language rom that came with your athena
I don't know for sure but i think spl 1.07 is the dutch rom which is nowhere to be found at present
i suggest doing a search for this or contacting htc or the original supplier of your phone.
Alternatively post a request in xda but I would do it in the general section to get a wider audience
Hello,
Thanks Lakeman. I tried to get it from HTC Support in vain, as you recomended, i'll post a new thread on xda concerning the spl1.07 (my ROM language is English not dutch).
