Ok I have trouble with every rom I have found...
Orbit O2 running the latest WM5.
I start the rom upgrade for B&B and as it starts to get into the strange splash screen (I assume its a bootloader type thing, multicloured), it disconnects from my pc (running vista and the new mobile device centre 6) of course, then reconnects (i hear the tone anyway) but then the rom upgrade program tells me that it cant connect.
Thus my device is stuck on the loading page.
Another attempt to use the UG program brings me further: to the loading % screen. it gets to 3% and then the device resets and loads fully.
This is where it ends. another attempt brings me back full circle...
I had a similar problem with the official o2 rom, but the second attempt didnt stop at 3% so it went all the way.
after upgrading, I cant progress from the above any better.
I want the B&B for its interface, 3d cube and touchflo. Is there a way to add these onto my existing rom?
Thanks guys.
Have you got another pc or laptop you can try this from?
If not try disabling all your firewall and anti virus whilst upgrading.
the real issue i think isthe sync disconnecting while transferring data.
either that or my phone doesnt like anything over the 3% mark on these rom builds.
no firewall, no antivirus.
i had the same problem. this is what i did.
i installed the original wm6 of htc and from there installed bb 4
thanks ill try that.
ive so far installed the o2 orbit rom and then tried the bb4 same problems.
but ill try the htc version now.
You MUST flash the USPL upgrade first. After this you can then flash to B&Bv4.
By the way. If you can get access to a Windows XP computer, use this to flash. Windows Vista as VERY picky when upgrading.
There is a problem with upgrading you're rom in combo with windows vista. I assume upgrading is only possible with active sync 4.5(XP).
USPL and vista give's a lot of problem's like the one you discribe. Try upgrading your rom from a PC with XP.
I had the same problem. I Could'nt upgrade my rom from a PC with VISTA. Xp was the sollution for me.
thanks guys.
im gonna look into upgrading the uspl, but i dont have an xp machine. only vistas and a mac
just tried the uspl....
dos counted up 0...10....20 etc up to 70, then skipped to 100 and the rom update program launched. it went into the multicoloured splash loader then stopped.
im gonna try on xp later if i can...
ok for anyone who has similar issues to me...
I just got a Hermes today (£60, tmob) and same upgrade problems.
XP machine isnt an option for me...
BUT i found this http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 for anyone who needs advice on vista. its very simple and works a treat.
thanks
my experiences
I couldn't flash USPL on my IBM T40p(Win XP SP2). I use other PC with clean instalation of W2K(SP4) and AS4.5(nothing else instaled) and it work fine(flash USPL then B&B 3.7-to test it then B&B 4.0). I realize I'm using Kerio Firewall on my laptop, AS 4.5 don't connect to Artemis with Kerio Firewall instaled!
Advice for all:
1) try again to flash USPL
2) TRY AGAIN!!!
3) try other pc
4) try again
.....
5) once flashed UPSL(your SPL should be 1.11.0000) flash the B&B Rom(or any other you want) - do it on same pc which you use for succesfull flashing of USPL

Has anybody upgraded their rom on Windows Vista RC2 yet? It syncs with no problem but I'm a bit leary about being the test user for rom upgrading (and subiquent bricking) of my TyTN. Unfortunatly I currently don't have a machine running XP in the house or i'd just do it on that. Do I need to reinstall XP on one of my machines or has anybody been successful with RC2?
I tried to upgrade my JJ using Vista RC2, it doesn't brick my device, but it doesn't upgrade it, a message of connection error appears after a whle.

I have tried under vista rc1 with newest updates of mobility center (I think 28/10/2006) but during upgrade my qtek9000 went into bl mode and nothing helped only removing vista and reinstall xp.
Too bad to hear - time to wipe a machine and reinstall XP Oh well - could be worse things!
running vista? upgrade issues?

As long as you have updated to WMDC 6.1, flashing with Vista is a breeze. Just plug in the USB cable and flash like XP.
I can confirm that as well, as long as you update to Device Center version 6.1, the vista flashing guide is not needed. The RUU tools (including auto detect) will work fine when the device is plugged in and synced.
Im soooooooooooooooooooo glad I didnt "upgrade" to have vista on my pc
That is the rub...

... I've followed MrVanx's instructions but, the issue for me is syncing. I can connect just fine but getting my 8525 to Sync is a no go.
It seems that my Vista machine consistently renames my device from *******_PC to HTCXX (Usually a number).
Weird.
I followed the instructions and successfully upgraded my ROM, but every time I installed SplashID, I could no longer Sync.
So I just downgraded WMDC to 6.0 (found here), and all my problems appear to be gone - I can sync with no problems.
--------
UPDATE
I still get the strange TCP/IP errors - bringing up Vista's task manager, killing WMDC and restarting it makes it go away. Gotta love Microsoft.
ive been running vista and flashing / cooking for 2 months now without any problems (using 6.1) however syncing is a completely different story! In fact I'm waiting for a copy of lastxp to finish downloading to reformat xp back
I have never had any problems with Vista and WMDC 6.1
No problems either, using WMDC 6.1 on 2 different Vista machines, and haven't had any problems flashing or synching.
Many thanks HunterST!

Thanks for the tip. I can finally sync again. It's not perfect but, I'm at least getting closer.
Peace.

I work in IT and am using my system to test Vista functionality within our company. So far it has worked like a charm, much better than the days of beta. I prefer XP still for functionality but I have enjoyed Vista and will probably continue to run it on both my work and home systems (Enterprise, Basic/Home is for the lose).
Flashing has been a cakewalk overall. Syncing isn't too bad however it does have it's hiccups. Two problems have surfaced so far, one is related to WMDC being flaky about picking up the phone (although better in 6.1 than 6.0) the other is related to wirelessly syncing to Exchange which has nothing to do with Vista at all and just my laziness to troubleshoot it. lol

Dear all,
I have been running Starbase64's S64 3.62/HTC on my HTC TyTN HERM200 for several months. Today I wanted to change the ROM to Shamanix Ultimate 2, however, every time I try to run the RUUWrapper.exe I get the message "Custom RUUhas encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I then tried Schaps 4.31 and Custel 2.5 both returning the same result. Trying to reload Starbase's ROM had the same effect.
I then thought to try an "official" ROM and loaded Hermes_Cingular 3.62.502.3_6275. This loaded with no problems
I have successfully changed the ROM on my TyTN a least 15 times previously. I am running SPL-2.10.Olipro and IPL-1.04. After the official load these settings remain in tact. I repeated the attempt to load the above ROMs and have the same error message. This message appears regardless of whether the phone is in normal mode or in bootloader mode.
I am running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5 (build 5096).
Does anyone have any ideas as what is causing this?
Many thanks
I have the same problem. When i want to install Schap's rom 4.31 on my htc hermes i see this message "Custom RUUhas encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I use windows xp sp2 and activesync 4.5 too. Can you help ?
Try installing .NET Framework!
Correct install both the .net frameworks: 2.0 and 3.5.
A simple search usually finds this problem a few times
Sorry I have totally ré-install windows xp and I have forget some programmes. Thank you.
Thanks for your insightall of you. I already had .net framework installed on my laptop, however, the problem seems to have been that it was corrupt, and that in itself made it difficult to remove and reinstall.
I found an uninstall tool on the net which deals with all of the registry entries. Reinstalling then updating to 3.5 now seems to have done the trick. I now have the ROM of my choice on my TyTN.
HI people i have this big question can i flash MRH 8.4 Sun Shower | Stable | UC | Build 20270 ? is that i bought a new computer and has vista can i flash it in this computer?
Yes. Just download Windows Mobile Device Center in lieu of ActiveSync.
I gave up on it long ago when i started flashing with SD card.
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/
read that though. shows you how to use vista to flash
I could be wrong but I believe that the RUU that is used in the newest ROMs are already formatted to Vista. I just flashed the latest PDACorner ROM (V20) without a problem about two days ago.
should not be a problem
1. Your device should be in bootloader mode.
2. Make sure your PDA show USB
3. Start RUU upgrade.
4. Done.
I've do it couple of time already. Works fine!
I have been using Vista for flashing and no problem at all. Just sync my device and lunch RUU upgrade.. works nicely.
Yeah, Vista works fine. Sometimes it can take a little while to load the HTC device driver when it goes into bootloader mode. Just try it again once it's installed and it should work without any worries. I have used it dozens of times without a hitch.
Have done it with various WM based phones with the official ROMs, so any custom ROM shouldn't be a problem.
RUU in Vista
just did it 5 minutes ago with no problems.
I sometimes have to close mobsync.exe in device manager and plug in the pda again or sometimes I have to reboot (or log off and log in) to sync or flash the pda.
Sometimes it works without doing above things.
