Can I flash my audiovox ppc 4100 with anextek sp230 rom?

So i've been thinking.
On this site people talk about flashing the rom on various xda/clones to remove AT&T locks (so I can use a different supplier) I want to use the ppc 4100 with orange uk.
Expansys sell the anextek sp230 which will work on any gsm network.
As the hardware is virtually identical can I get a copy of the sp230 rom and replace the rom on my ppc 4100 with it?
Failing that has anyone used the ppc4100 in the uk (i'll change provider if neccessary) or managed to get one unlocked here?
Cheers, Jamm

I also want to upgrade my ppc 4100's english wm2003 to chinese wm2003....

Other than the fact that this is the XDA-DEVELOPERS site, and not ppc anything else, it is still a good general question. SO, in theory, if the hardware is identical, then you should be able to enter bootloader on one device, copy to sd, insert sd into second device, enter bootloader, and flash device two to whater device one was. But this is theory, and you DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! No one is responsable for your mistakes other than you...
If I were you, I would use the bootloader to backup to SD whichever device you were trying to change, and then proceed with a second SD to try and copy/reflash the device. This way, if it gets hosed up, you still have an operating copy of the origional OS, that you should be able to flash back.
Good luck!

Anextek guy said since the Audiovox 4100 is GSM 850 and their SP230 is GSM 900, the ROMs are not interchangeable. Is this true? Can anyone confirm or deny this statement?

unlocking the audiovox 4100 would need to get a dll file called rilgsm.dll and replace the one u ahve already. so if u know u'r stuff u can go download the file from your pda and see if u can find somethign that can make it work.
perhaps compare it from an unlocked audiovox 4100 and see waht the difference is
cheers.

I've tried to flash SP230 with 4100 ROM. The device hangs at the boot screen. So I think that reverse process would also fail.

mamaich
have your tried Buzz's stealth rom program to get the rom so we could at least try it on an 4100?

is there somebody try to flash the ppc4100 to sp230 and where can i find out the sp230 rom ,thanks

u can dump the rom from an anextek pda by using xda tools. i am not sure how useful the dump is u might want to extract the thing to find out if all the files that should be there are actually there.
even when flashing an audiovox sometimes it hangs on boot. try it again it might actually work i wouldnt mind getting a holdof a sp230 rom it prefer nb1 format.
mamaich, did you flash the bootstrap as well? i would try it again if i were u and give it a little time before it does anything, also can i get a copy of your rilgsm.dll file thats inyour windows foler? that could hold the mhz info.
on another note what does bandswitch change that it changes the frequency ?
edit:
lets make the 4100 a part of this site

I've flashed audiovox ROM into my SP230 (sold as RoverPC S1) and it stucks at the boot screen. The only way to restore it - is to use small SD-card. I dont have SD-cards smaller than 1Gb, so I've just threw away that SP230.
As far as I remember I kept the original bootloader of my device.

ahhm u still can use the 1gb. i used my 512 sd card. its fine. u gotta boot up with the bootloader by resetting the device and holding the jog dial in.
did it display anything at all ? or jsut a black screen ?
someone with the sp230 please download xda tools and dump the rom thats on the device it doesnt do any harm i donthink so at least i dumped mine a few times and extracted the rom using dumprom the rom seems fine
the only thing u have to keep in mind is when u save the file, name it and add the extention with it too.
try doingan nb1
mamaich u canrestore your pda by flashing someone's sp230 rom on your phone
let us know how things go if u havent compleatly trashed it.

CID Unlock - fine, but still invalid vendor id ?

Hey..
I think in the moment there are many guys, out there, included me, that share the same problem: all probably unlocked their Dash's, Mail's or whatever using anykind of unlocking method (me, imei-check).
I am using a German MDA Mail, i needed to unlock it, in order to use it with my phone carrier apparently.
Now, the version of my phone is somewhat 1.18, and I want to update it to the WM6, like many others too. Both ways; SPL 1.11 and trying the update itself onyl lead to the same outcome : Invalid vendor/model id !
Many often say: yea, look in the CID unlock thread...well i did, very often, but there is no real solution to that problem, since basically, my Dash is unlocked, and presumably also CID unlocked since i got that from imei-check, which i think is a pioneer in that sector.
So, after all, what can we do!? Is it possible to still trying update that phone?
Hope we can find a solution, cuz i dun feel i am the only guy who has that problem.

I may have the same problem. Are you trying to unlock on Vista or XP?

I got it unlocked on XP, it worked fine i got to admit, no problems at all, my phone now seems to be unlocked and it works with another phone carrier, apart from T-Mo, which should be an indication FOR the CID unlock...
I dont think it is important to App unlock the Mail as well, cuz imei-check said it would be included...soo, would it be reasonable to ask imei-check, or does somebody else have an opinion about that?

I just upgraded to WM6. Here's what I did.
Unlocked it from imei-check. Ran SPL Upgrader. It gave me a Vendor ID being incorrect error.
Then I ran the WM6 upgrader from HTC. It upgraded and rebooted.
Now my phone is running WM6 and everything is fine.

Ha? you serious, thats very cool...well i tried it again with the spl upgrader, he went to 100%, aborted then with an invalid model error...then ran the upgrade afterwards, still didnt work... what about the version, did u take the German or the English one!?

Aaaargh, i am about to freak out..why doesnt it work, both SPL and the WM6 Upgrade give Invalid model errors, before i at least got a invalid vendor id, but not even that anymore...HELP...did imei-checks unlock didnt really work or what...

Yeah, I am very serious. I am using WM6 right now. I have a Dopod C720w.
Ok, here's what I did.
Unlocked through IMEI-check's software.
After that, I ran the SPL Upgrader. It went to 100% then gave me an Invalid Vendor ID error. I exited from there and then ran the HTC WM6 upgrade rom program. That started and slowly went to 100%. It said it had finished its job, so I removed my phone from the cable.
Then I proceeded to totally freak out because my phone looked like it was stuck at the Windows Mobile loading screen. I waited and after a long time, the rom initialised and ran through its first boot sequence.
Now its working perfectly and everything feels a bit faster.
If you went through the exact same steps, then I am not sure what your problem might be. Sorry. To tell you the truth, I am a completely noob at this who just did random steps and was lucky enough for it to work
P.S. I used the WWE (English) version, as I can't read German. I downloaded it off a rapidshare link posted in the big thread about HTC's rom release.

Well, i might not have much more skill either, but it is still quite worrying, is there maybe a difference between model and vendor id !? i am not quite sure what to try anymore, i remember yesterday, that i had a wrong vendor id as well, but today i just always got invalid model ids...very weird...well i will continue trying..do u remember what ur MDA mail version was before u updated it..sth like...1.18 !? by the way, which SPL upgrader are u using?

I am not using a MDA Mail. It's a Dopod c720w, same hardware, different branding.
This is the SPL Upgrader I used:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur/RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe
Try with that. It should work.
I think my version before upgrading was 1.15 something.

Nah, i think its the same SPL Upgrader (same size...) but i just dont get the idea why it doesnt work, some experienced upgrader here who can explain us the process?!?! I am not sure whether a reset of all settings would do a thing?! geez feel quite helpless in the moment^^

I had the same problem
but the only thing I did when got those problems was leaving my Vista based laptop and try with an XP based, downloaded the activesync, connected my htc, installed the SPL (downgrade) and then the WM6 WWE ROM, oh, I remember, first I installed the german version by mistake, so I had to repeat the process with the SPL before applying the correct ROM again.
When I was unlocking my HTC, I had some problems on the vista system, and I deactivated the antivirus... Could that be related?
Good Luck!!!

You haven't answered as to whether you're using XP or Vista. I ran into the same issues trying to do the SPL and ROM updates via Vista, when I tried it on my XP system -- both worked without errors.

Yeah, after hearing so much about Vista, I used my XP system to update the rom. Worked fine.

i LOVE imei-check, i wrote them an email a moment ago to ask them for support, they replied me after 10 minutes with a full strategy how to encounter the problem, fabulous support i gotta admit, here's what they said:
Hello,
It sounds like you try to make a CROSS-MODEL-ID update (e.g. WiFi chip missing T-Mobile ROM on a WiFi enabled HTC device).
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. You only have to use SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS in order to make a CROSS-MODEL-ID update:
*If you REALLY do it EXACT step by step like described you will have no problems*
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
- the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use:
"Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu Search for word
"BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C
==> replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message:
"Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!)
==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
In case you have problems please indicate the step number/letter which is not clear/not working for you.
*If you REALLY do it EXACT step by step like described you will have no problems*

P.S., would be a good idea to post this as a sticky, since it really explains how to update a original HTC rom on such wifi lacking Excalibur versions like the MDA Mail,
greets and good night

Did you try to email imei-check?
I know that exactly the same problem occurred when the T-Mo WM6 came out.
Imei-check had sent back their customers who were not able to upgrade a procedure how to modify their unlocker with a hex editor to change the model ID.
BTW: Model ID: there are two different models - EXCA100 and EXCA200 - take a look under your battery - german XDA Cosmo for example is EXCA200 (there the SPL seems not to work)
The other thing is the vendor ID. This seems to be solved by pof's Upgrade SPL 1.11
So simply try to write to imei-check and say that your unlock does not work - in the past they were very customer friendly - hope this didn't change meanwhile
EDIT: OK - vivid was a little bit faster - next time I should refresh the thread before I answer...

FYI !!
saw some post where people was being impatient during the upgrading process and completely abort the process ...etc
you are supposed to be at the logo screen for a period of time ... it doesn't meant it's hanged ... be patience !
just a note

Patience is the key...
Hm, OK, I did it... I bought the fracking UNL, took me one hour to figure how to get rid of the protection (security + antivirus) in my laptop that did not allow me to run the unlocking app. Finally, I got it.
First time I flash the ROM it did not work. I tried using first the SPL, and it worked nicely. After that, I could flash the ROM. Be patient, it takes some minutes to reboot, and it looks like is freezed, but not... wait!
Can´t see much difference from WM5, but I noticed a best performance in wifi connection. Now I´m fracking installing all the goodies I had before... bluetooth keyboard is not working... I will work it out a little bit.
Just in case, if someone wants the UNL for research... PM me.

I am glad it all worked out for you. Didn't know that the MDA Mail came without Wifi.
Wow, I must say, I am glad I used Imei-Check's service as well. That was an extremely helpful reply they sent you. Not seen many companies who do that.

That's exactly what i thought
Maybe we should write them a thankyou email for all their great help in name of the whole xda-developers community what u think
Anyhow, can somebody explain me real quick what should be definitely be installed to WM6?
@PhoenixAG: yeaa stupid T-Mobile GER...they didnt take away the wifi chip on the S710 or the newer ones, have no idea why they did it to the Excalibur then..

It would be a good idea to stick this solution.
I think many users in this forum have exactly the same problem in doing a cross model ID update. You can see Excalibur devices from many countries and carriers here.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Mail too which lacks the Wi-Fi and had to do the same steps after cid-unlocking it through imeicheck.
You have to do it really step by step. I had problems in doing it out of my memory for the new HTC ROM and wondered why it failed. But going through it step by step really works EVERY time I did it and thats now the third time.
First was installing T-Mobile Dash WM6 ROM, second the Russian HTC ROM and now finally the German HTC WM6 ROM.

bricked universal!?!?

Hi guys I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong forum or if this has already been asked elsewhere.
My universal was running great all my apps on wm5 lovely I even just bought copilot for it and that worked great also! I then found the HTC home feature that displays on your today screen I installed this on wm5 and it worked but not very well so I decided to flash my universal with the wm6 rom customized to run on my system with 64mb ram. I think the biggest mistake I made was trying to do this under windows vista as the pc crashed leaving my Universal saying Serial (or USB if connected to pc) and displaying v2.0.1 at bottom. I have tried to recover the device using the methods on the wiki but the device is recognised by the pc as a mobile pocket PC and is refusing to allow me to update the driver so I cannot install the usb modem driver for vista! I am going to my brothers this evening and will try to recover again on an XP system I hope it work I have only had my universal for 4 days! I had aq smilar experience with my SPC C600 when I first got that - I love fidling thats my problem!!! - One last thing to point out is that I do not know it thte device if fully unlocked, I presume as it has gone to the stage of stuck on bootloader it must be?!? Any positive words of encouragement welcome!
Regards
Gene

Anyone! lol I know this was only posted an hour ago - I guess I am stuck in bootlader is that correct?

Hi Guys I have managed to ressurect my universal it was stuck in bootloader! I am going to attepmt to reflash my device with a win moble 6 rom, are there any recommendations for the Universal mine was shipped as the 02 Xda Exec, I appreciate you will probably tell me that I just to try one and see if it works but I would rather use a rom which has been tested as working as stable, I have downloaded the wm6 rom which was "adaptedK for a universal equipped with only 64mb of ram Has anyone used this rom? I also need to totally unlock this device to ensure a happy upgrade, But the link on here for the tool (in the wiki also) seem to be dead I hope one of you can point me in the right direction The main reason I want to upgrade to WM6 is so I can use the HTC home plugin. I know this is available for WM5 but it does not display correctly on my device it appears squashed up?? If I can correct this under WM5 then I see no need to upgrade to WM6?
Many Thanks for your help
Gene.

upgrading the ROM - a noob guide

Hi all
please dont flame the n00b. I have recently acquired my first smartphone the diamond and am very pleased with it. I have read through the threads and have developed my understanding of the considerations to make in flashing the ROM on my phone
I have an early version of the ROM as I received one of the first stock into the UK, which turned out to be grey imports from hong kong :S . I would like to realise some of the speed / battery / bugfix benefits of the newest ROM
however many of these threads are quite long , so i was wondering if someone could do me a favour by succintcly summarising the steps i would need :
my phone is runnning :
1.34.831.1 WWE - the unit is from hong kong i beleive, i have registered on HTC HK e-club
I would like to upgrage this is the latest signed UK ROM ?
If this is not possible can advice be given on going to the latest HK WWE ?
I understand this will involve changing the HARD SPL ?
Additionally can any method provided be confirmed as a reversible process should i need to invoke the warranty ?
thanks in advance for your help.

please let me know if you need any further information form me in order to help.
thanks

1: install hardspl (unsigned)
2: search the threads for the newer HK stock roms, they've been posted by tudispin I think.
3: flash
4: should need arise, you can revert to stock spl, search the threads for spls by htchackers.

you should be able to flash back for warranty purposes.. safest thing is still to dump your current ROM (search the forums and wiki for how-to), but i think you'll be alright. You can check out my site for step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade your ROM

thanks so far
just for help so far
your guide looks great racerx_
so i should be able to do the following tonight
1: install hardspl (unsigned)
2: search the threads for the newer UK? stock roms,
3: flash
4: and should the need arise, you can revert to stock spl, search the threads for spls by htchackers.
once the hardspl is loaded am i correct in thinking any ROM can be loaded ?

oh but
dump my current ROM before proceeding .. just in case

yeah you should technically be able to load any ROM... if signed Hard-SPL, then only any signed ROM of course

hit a slight problem
So i am tryiong to HARD SPL. have gone through all the instructions but :
when installint the HARD SPL . the phone screen switches off the progress bar on PC sits at )% for about 20 sec it then accelerates to 100% very quickly within around 2 mins. It say that is is installed correctly
however the phone restarts and i can still see the d: as 1.34.00.00
so the loinex 1.3 has not installed
the windows is hard reset as i then have to go through the screen calibration
any help appreciated

HardSPL is not the ROM, just software to enable the update
once you installed HardSPL you should now be able to install a ROM

hi
yes sorry for the confusion in my past previous description. It is the HARD SPL software update which says that it is installed but isnt
i have not attempted to load another ROM until this is done first
any further advice ?

in essence when installing the olinex 1.30 i get no errors
bit it doesnt install and all i get is a hard reset ?

If it goes through OK, it has installed You don't see anything different in the splash screen- that just lists the basics
To confirm, go into Bootloader mode by holding down the Volume Down Key and at the same time pressing the red reset button at the mouth of the stylus silo. It can take a few goes, but will show a rainbow screen listing the SPL etc, which ought to say 1.30 Olinex, confirming the correct SPL flash.
Once confirmed press the reset button to restart.

ok thanks for step by step advice there
the HARD SPL is loaded version 1.30 I will try a new ROM now
i am trying the :
RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.37.707.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
which is signed so should work

mmm even though the phone is synced up I get error
"262" when i try to install new ROM
it basically stalls on 0% for about 4 to 5 mins before it aborts with this error message.
i have searched the forums but cannot see a succinct plausible answer

hmm.. i thought that error was usually encountered with unsigned ROMs...
1) are you flashing with xp or vista
2) are you connected through a USB hub?
3) what EXACTLY are your steps for flashing this ROM

hi there
yeas flashing through vista 64 bit
and not using USB hub but direct connection
I downloaded the signed 1.37.401.3 Europe ROM linked from this forum and this installed fine
the improvement over the old ROM is immense. so far i am delighted by the results.
I am still perplexed as to why the asian ROM did not install still :S
only difference so far is that this EUROP ROM does not have the remote desktop app
thanks for all your help. I am going to test this ROM over the coming week, but unless there is a compelling reason to another ROM i will stick with this

Why HARDSPL when flashing HTC rom?
When using the newer 1.37 roms, you download the installer from e-club, make activesync conn en go for it?

A noob's point of view
I got my Diamond about two weeks ago, and since I'm new to PDAs and WM, I've done a lot of reading on the forums, wiki etc. At first things were quite murky for me and I know what my fellow noob here is feeling. So I thought I should share my experience (or lack there of) for the use of other noobs.
What I Know
HardSPL is needed in order to flash a cooked (non original HTC) ROM. As I understand, it is the equivalent of BIOS for PCs, mixed with a bootloader flavor. You need to first change this section of software first in order for the cooked roms to be accepted.
HardSPL comes in two flavours:
- the developer edition with which you can flash any type of roms (signed, unsigned, original) link: HardSPL dev ed
- the signed edition with which you can flash signed roms (original HTC, and cooked signed). The signed ROM versions give an added sense of reliability since they are tested. link: HardSPL signed the topic name was confusing for me at first
A list of signed ROMs: here
There are more than one "cooks" out there working in teams or otherwise. And more than one ROM you can flash. I did a lot of reading before I chose the one to use, I find user feedback the best measuring tool for quality .
Now for the flashing part
After you downloaded the HardSPL and the chosen ROM, you need to install ActiveSync. This is found on the CDs that come with the device, or downloadable fromo the M$ ****e aaaa site ActiveSync is a tool used for transferring contacts, e-mails and other outlook stuff if you use it, files, AND is needed for the flashing process. When installing, if you do not use outlook and do not like "syncronisation folders" on your desktop uncheck every "folder" option, you will be better off.
This site was very useful to me since it gave a detailed description flashing with visual documentation which (a bit uncomfortable to admit) was very helpful for me.
The HardSPL flash takes little time to complete and unless going into bootloader mode (vol down + soft reset) is completely transparent to the user.
The ROM flash takes longer 10 mins - they go by pretty slowly .
For safety reasons, I also downloaded an original HTC ROM just in case.
Because the flashing process once started SHOULD NOT be stopped there are a few things to consider:
- charge the battery
- firmly and directly (no hubs) plug the USB cable into computer and device.
- if you live in an area where power cuts are often consider doing the flashing on an UPS-enabled computer.
When the flashing finishes, the device will reboot and you will have to set-up again. If using TLRs ROM do not panic if you have to align the screen 6 times or so as I did. You will eventually get to the next step
What I don't know or am not sure of:
- when using signed HardSPL can I load an original HTC signed ROM? if so, is this enough in case of RMA issues?
- when reflashing with a newer/different ROM can I restore a back-up made with the previous ROM? I'm using sprite and I backed up everything, including what registry stuff it offered to. In this case, do i need to reapply the registry tweaks? dunno if sprite backs-up all the registry or just some of it.

Im must thank guys for this thread, i am minutes from going to the postal office to get my Diamond and this weekend has been full of information reading and program downloading, but the only thing i was a bit hung up on was this flashig buisness. Of course i know a lot about flashing ( Right about everything there is to flash ) but almost nothing about Phone Flashing
But i think i will try the version i get now first to see if i feel the need to update to anything else...
Hence my question is rather simple... How tha fack do i see what version i already have? >_< is it that (vol down + soft reset) thing? or am i way out of place?
thx.

No, that is for HardSPL info. To see the ROM version, go to settings - device info and you'll see both ROM and radio.

No search! Impossible. Theres a whole forum dedicated to flashing including WM 6.5. Looking through that forum there is even a sticky for noobs on flashing. I won't even post the link.
Heres the link to flashing! Start with this.

But seriously, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, its just that if you couldn't find that forum you probably shouldnt be trying to flash a ROM.

Welcome to forums
Read deeply the Wiki (Rhodium)

Getting WM 6.5 shouldn't be this hard, SOS - I need help!
I'm having the same problem. . . . . I have flash my T-Mobile TP2 by following all the instructions posted by mskip. I have the multi color screen (red, green, blue white) with the following information:
RHOD210 32 SS- BC
SPL-0.85 OlinNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
505,527 807, 853
811,196 199,193
203,860 Calibrated
So my TP2 is flashed. . . . My phone still says 6.1 when re-started.
Now What? I know people are going to say download a rom from the Rhodium forms. . . . I have about 20 downloaded to my computer.
My question is how in the HELL do you put window' mobile 6.5 in the the TP2? I have read thru many threads however no one address the most simple of questions or perhaps I'm just not understanding a crital step in the update process.
Where do you find the rom to install wm 6.5? And how to get the rom on to the phone? Oh and please don't point to [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs) I have read that about 100 times.
If I find the correct rom, then what?
Is there a drag and drop process that I'm missing or do I have to reformat a file to RUU,NBH or EXE or somthing.
I have downloaded the CustomRUU, Rhodium-HardSPL and every version of wm 6.5 manilla type file I can find however I can't find the simple rom to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5
I'm so confused and fustratiated that I am going to sell my TP2 and go back to the EASY iPhone (Jail Breaking was soo easy) or Blackberry Bold.
Please HELP. . . . I don't want to have to junk a phone that I want to keep

so youve had the hardSPL part already done i see.
now pick a rom and open that zip or rar file
in there are two files, drag and drop them on your desktop
now connect your phone with activesync or devicecentre to your computer
and make sure your phone is and stays connected
now double click on the RUU file from within the zip/rar file and follow the on-screen directions.
thats it.
hope this was helpfull

OK, I have followed your intruction to the letter and I have made progress. . . . . however I while following to prompts on the program (The Update Utility) I got the following error message:
ERROR [240]: file open
The Update Utility can not open the requested field.
Please check your Update Utility.
And on another attempt I got the to the end and nothing happend.
The last prompt said the following:
PDA PHONE UPDATE UTILITY 3.27.4.3
Verify that you want to update the Rom version
From
Image version:
To
Image Version: 0.85.OliNex
Click next to proceed: Click Cancel to quit.
. . . . I hit the next button and nothing happens. I still have WM 6.1
What am I doing wrong or am I missing a crital step?
Seems like I need the program to recognize the rom some how or mabe I'm way off.
I really do appreciate your help!

If you are using the CustomRUU.exe that comes with HardSPL, you cannot flash ROMs with it. That CustomRUU.exe is specially made for flashing HardSPL, and won't flash other stuff.
Try downloading this ROM (it's the one I use on my device, it's in my signature), and once it's downloaded, extract it using 7-zip/Universal Extractor/WinRAR or any other RAR unizipping utility. Ensure the directory that you extract the RAR file to has no other .NBH files in it. Now, run CustomRUU.exe (the one that comes in the RAR file) and follow the directions. Keep in mind that when it says what Image Version you are updating to in CustomRUU.exe, it should NOT say 0.85.OliNex.
Now, if that still doesn't work, try transferring RHODIMG.nbh to any MicroSD card (ensure it's formatted to FAT32), putting the microSD card back into the device, and manually go into the bootloader (Hold Volume-Down and the Power button). Follow the instructions, flash the ROM, soft reset (or yank out the battery) when it's completely finished, and congratulations, you're running Windows Mobile 6.5!

Hi fellas:
I just bot a used Touch Pro 2 with 6.1 for the wife for xmus.
Is it possible to use the HTC Rom that is listed on the EU site on a US HTC and then try to put it on Roger's 3G/Edge in Canada?
Thanks!

ok...I guess not
Is there another ROM that I would have better luck with?
My carrier (Rogers Canada) says that the 3G I have will not work on their network because it is T-Mobilized. The Edge Network is working (slow) and now I'm worried that this may never work on 3G here.
I read there is a vanilla "unlocked" 6.5 ROM here. Is that what I should be shooting for?

If you hardspl your device then you can put any rom on it that you want. Search, read and learn in the rom section.
From what i understand is that you bought a Touch pro 2 with T-mobile rom installed. So what you need to do is look in the rom section and read the flashing for noobs guide. Then pick a rom and flash. I think you will like the |R|6.5.3|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 28011/21885 ★Dec 25★ Sense 2.1/Titanium. After you've flashed your T-mobile rom will be gone. Good luck
