Help flashing S620 after replacing screen??

I have had my s620 for a while now and everything has been fine, flashed it with a rickys rom then changed my mind and went with kavanas (sp?) then something happened....
i broke the darn screen!, not a problem i replaced it. simple but... i lost all my settings, smart toolkit and the t9 programs were no longer installed?
i've been trying to flash back to kavanas or the new rose rom with no luck, whatever i do it wont run the SPL part of the auto.bat ???
i've unlocked it again, played with the usb connection settings, everything i can think of! someone please help!
i've attached a screen shot of where it hangs for you...
***EDIT*** and i have tried all the obvious things, and some of the less obvious (running the SPL file myself from the device, restarting the device, hard reset, etc)

Maybe try flashing with your official ROM first. I don't know that much but what ever is screwed up from having a broken screen might get fixed doing that. I know, annoying extra step but worth a shot...

i wish it was so simple lol!
I cant find my official rom anywhere, its a UK BT Broadband Rom ???
I've tried 3 different Roms, even tried to bypass the Auto.bat files for the roms and do the flashing manually with no luck!

Edited: (Link removed, was software update. Not the Full ROM)
There's the link to download the official BT Broadband ROM Update

The BT ROM is here http://www.mediafire.com/?mgldgtxc3gq

So did it end up working when flashing with your official rom?

well first try nope, no luck
It went through the install process and not all of the cabs installed (it copies everything to the phone and then runs individual packages) so i stopped the process in fear of bricking my phone.
Im stumped on this one, what could i of done when i replaced the screen that would stop the flashing process from working???

What cabs? The ROM is a .exe the first link placed on this thread is not the ROM it's the BT software update, run the BT ROM i placed link to and see if works?

Actually the first link is the newest ROM for his Phone from the BT Broadband website. I searched it quite extensively to find it. Newer then the one you posted.

The only way you would be able to upgrade to WinMO 6.5 would be to flash the phone just like when you flash a custom ROM now
WinMO 6.5 is not an installable app/upgrade like upgrading an application on your phone its the operating system itself
Right now and there are very few ROMS out there for WinMO 6.5 and none for the Vogue at all (Im assuming you have a Vogue as this is where you posted) soon there will be one as there are people working on it currently but what is there is EXTREMELY buggy and almost non-functional for the fact its on a phone and a phone should be able to be used after all LOL
Keep with the Custom ROMS for now and wait, the desire for it has been spoken and the Chefs are a cookin LOL

NFSFan has confirmed that those WM 6.5 ROMS are FAKE. Even if they were real, there would be no point of using them...

The builds are fake indeed. However they do contain a few components of 6.5. None which are worth upgrading for.

Really? What components do they have? Anything from a new today screen or Internet Explorer (like rumored)?

Kinetic scroll (give up TouchFLO and Manila2D), new IE build that supports kinetic scroll. The today screens being posted are fake. They are actually from a smartphone, called HTC Juno. Some asian dude took it out of the Juno, resized the images, and re-arranged the tabs to make it look like the new today screen.

flashing on Vouge
I know this may sound tedious but i have no idea on how to flash any ROM onto my Vouge. Can someone please help. I would love to try out several ROMs and see which one would work best for me.
Thanks in advance

Hey, here is one really good one

Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like

Everything is working smoothly and better than I thought it would have (i flashed the 6.5 ROM). Thanks to you Detroit Doug or I don't think I would have been able to do it without your instructions. I however do have one more question....i'm having issues syncing the device with my PC now. Any idea on what that could be???

re: Thanks
I've done several resets but to no avail am i able to connect via active sync???

OK maybe i lied about everything working properly and wonderful....so on top of not being able to connect to my PC via activesync I also am not able to connect to the internet on my device, i've downloaded and installed the NFSFAN Sprint GPS Registry but still its a no go... Did i do something wrong completely????? still

I fixed the internet problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....somehow magically i'm now able to connect via activesync. I guess the device just needed time to adjust. Thanks for the help, and i do apologize for the numerous newbie questions.

The best is NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. You can find it on another thread in this forum right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
Don’t even bother with anything else. I am running this. It is fast, stable and very close to the stock WM 6.5 (I have downloaded the device emulator image from Microsoft’s website for software development purposes). The extras that are in there are useful.

Synching post flash - help!

Hi
I think I've made a pretty dumb error - I wonder if anyone can help me.
I've just flashed my Diamond to upgrade it from 6.1 to one of the 6.5 ROMs. I used the Windows Mobile Device Center to synchronise what was on my phone before I did the flash.
The flash has worked perfectly, but I think it's changed the name of my device? When I've tried to resync to get all my PIM info back - there's nothing there.
Does anybody know how I access my old info? Outlook looks pretty empty.

Old School Software Tweaks

Hi,
I have a TP2 on telus with the stock 6.1 ROM and TF3D 2.1.38. My home computer is an old mac, so I can't do the flashing thing.
I've been using mobile shell for ages to custimize things, but I am getting "Sense" envy and would like to see if there are any cool ways to customize TF3D without a custom rom.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure if you tried but you might be able to get an offical update from either ur provider or even the htc site itself

Well, you can flash your device via the SD-card method. You can even install Hard-SPL this way

Thanks!

Ok from what I have read you can flash the phone from SD but not hardspl.
Am I wrong? Any links would help.
Thanks again.

If you manage to get the latest official ROM with Sense 2.5 installed, download Cookies Home Tab and Cookies Home Tab Editor. It's glorious and I can't live without it. It has a few different clock styles, three different lock screens, you can tweak Call History, Calendar view, move around the different objects (links, clock++) and much more. <3

Yeah I know... I've been watching all of the new sense 2.5 stuff come out and I have been cursing telus for not updating the damn ROM to 6.5!
I'll keep looking for a way to hardspl my phone. Worse comes to worse I will have to use a friends computer to do it.

Hardspl cannot be flashed true SDcard. It needs a computer and a internet connection.

Help!

Alright, i'm pretty new to all of this, but I just got the 6.1 WM ROM for my excalibur. It all works fine except for the keypad of course. Ive downloaded the t9enlgish cab, well actually a number of them, but I just cannot understand how to run it on my phone. It is extracted as usual into a folder, but I don't know what to do from there!
Any help/advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

What you download is a .cab but looks like a .zip do not extract it, place the .cab on your phone via active sync\WMDC\card reader and then with File Explorer navigate to where you have the .cab click on it it'll ask where to install install to device then soft reset.
Check the sticky for the UK & US .cabs also how to turn of predictive along with much more useful information

Thanks a lot
I've got it sorted now, cheerrs for the help!

On the topic of .cabs actually, I actually just cannot get them to work at all. Do you think you might be able to give me a step by step of what I need to do? I fixed the previous problem by just updating to the 3VO ROM, and now I am trying to install SaveBatteryHTC_Juno.cab but to no prevail. :|
Thanks

Dude, it's the same process that stylez has mentioned above. I don't want to be rude though, but don't make threads with this "First time WM user question" you can search in the web of how windows mobile or activesync works.
