Hi,
I'm on radio 1.14 T-Mobile MDA Pro.
I've flashed my radio from 1.10 to 1.13 then 1.14 over the last 6 months without any problems. 1.14 is not the best radio I've ever used and seems to be pretty poor with WM6. I'm trying to reflash with 1.13 but it's not having it. I've tried directly from the bootloader (1.01) screen but it still won't have it.
Could anyone help?
Thanks
what kind of error message appears in ma_noupgrade when u try to flash radio in bootloader mode?
Error message
Wow that was quick!
Thanks,
It's 114 Radio Rom Update Error (i've attached a screen grab). I'm using parallels to do the flashing - works on a rom as long as there is no radio.nbf to be flashed.
Thanks
sometimes it could happen. but you should be able to continue.
retry again two or more times.
if it stuck during flashing, retry again.
if it didn't work, try to uninstall activesync 4.5 and temporarily try to flash radio with 4.2 version.
activesync 4.5 in only necessary for WM6 synchronization.
you can use 4.2 while u are in bootloader mode, and try to flash radio.
Still no luck
I've tried everything without it working. Think it might be due to Parallels. I've reflashed the rom to 2.02.00 and it seems to have stopped the problems with the radio dropping out anyway.
Thanks for your help
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
Ok, PC is fine, close any running programs. Hermes has stock WM5 with some programs added. Only reg tweaks are PTT and removed 3G animation at start.
Device syncs normally every day and both Work and Home.
When I follow all the directions, run the Updater - The PPC gets the Color Bars as the Updater is trying to read it....then AS (V4.5) disconnects and closes. (gone from taskbar) I can soft reset the device, reopen AS, they sync just fine. At this point I have the updater do the next, it pulls up the Current ROM info and says it will upgrade to the new one. I select next, and it starts.....and AS closes again. After a minute the upgrade app says it lost connection. (duh!)
Any ideas why?
I'm not a stranger to upgrading roms on PPC's, have several that have both been updated a number of times. No issues, though that several AS versions earlier.
I've given thought to Hard Reseting the device, but I'm wondering if its more AS's fault.
Any and all input much appreciated!
Thank You!

Are you following the directions at THIS GUIDE . What ROM are you trying to put on there? Did you CID unlock the device? Are you running Vista? Do you have .NET 2.0 or 3.0 version?
That should be enough questions to get us started.
Did you read my title? This is the stock ATT WM6 that came out yesterday. No need to unlock the phone, it is a 1 week old ATT 8525 with the stock ATT WM5 Rom on it.....
Windows XP SP2+ PC.
If it's the rom RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship maybe it had some problems because if you go to the official release site http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html they are still showing the WM5 rom for download.
There may have been a problem with the release and they pulled it back for some reason. Just a thought and not much help I'm afraid.
Yes thats it. When it ID's my current Rom and what it will upgrade to, it is correct. (it shows it's 3.62 vs my current 2.xx) Many peeps have had no problem upgrading to it. (most find it a very good Rom from the varios sites I read)
And this page at HTC still has it up:

You just need to wait for a while AS shuts down that is normal be patient and it will start updating you will see a progress bar will take approx 10 min after that
@brorex he can wait till christmas next year, if the updater cant communicate with the device , because it has closed AS then it will never update.
@JETninja
try doing what i said to this guy here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341282

I thought that too, but after the color bar test when it want to set you up to actually install the ROM, the Upgrader whats you to make sure there is an active connection with AS. Well, there isn't. It shut down and the PPC is still showing the color bars. I can reset it, then re-sync to AS. (after having to re-launch AS from the Program Files - it no longer resides in the Tray when it shuts down during the process) I then get it going again, it attempts to start the ROM upgrade, AS quits again.....about a min later I get the Communication Error message....
I'm downloading a 2nd copy right now, will try it as soon as it completes...
*Edit...think I have an idea what I'm doing wrong, I have it connected and synced too early, the first part of the ROM updater is just a PC test, I'm thinking the PPC should not have been connected at that time. Re-trying it now.....
Try putting it in boot loader and upload...thats what i did when i updated my 8525...Very much like the new ROM...
Going to give it a shot here at work on this PC. If no go still, will try the above mentioned methods. PC at home kept getting communication errors...
i had the same problem
make the connection at AS then start the update process.... the 8525 will go into 3 bar mode and when the update gets to the upgrading rom screen... the installed rom wont show up.... hit upgrade... and then continue and it will work.... i was stuck there for a while too because if i waited for the istallation to load then made the as connection the right image would show up in the installer but then it would stop working after that.....
I just put this rom on my 8525 and it worked well for me. My 8525 is unlocked with supercid so I had to extract the OS and update using the methods described for working with SPL-140 Olipro with IPL-1.01 or the "How not to Brick thread".
That won't help you much as you don't want to do that mod to your New 8525 and void the warranty, but thought you might like to know the stock OS seems pretty stable at this point and I have had no problems yet.
Thanks everyone! It finally worked here on my Work PC. At home I could get to the Bootloader, but it would lose connection for some reason. Here I lost it the first time, but tried it again and it managed to stay connected and apply the update. Got it up and running, applied owner info, just now re-doing the AS relationship. (a good 500+ contacts! LOL! It'll take a little while as usual!)
Then it's back to all the tweaks I like so far...and some new ones I've held up on since I've been waiting for WM6.
Out of my 3 PDA's (2 ipaqs and this puppy) this one has certainly been the trickiest ROM update, but it seems to be more my device since most don't have this much trouble.
Thanks again!
So far- So good, but just one problem- BATTERY!!!
After I installed upgrade, my battery drains in few hours... I reset phone, I reloded upgrade- nothing helps! Warranty still in affect, but phone worked well and I'm positive- hardware is OK. What else can i do to fix this problem?
I have the same problem

I have the same problem exactly. As soon as I start the upgrade the device immediately sleeps and the connection is lost. 1 minute later I get a Connection error message.
I am new to all this. How do i put the machine in 'boot loader' mode?
Thanks
Just did this rom update again on a 8525 the installation went extracting files active sync shut down wait a few minutes nothing happens the the upgrade screen no ACTIVESYNC connection while update is happening as soon as device is in bootloader mode activesync closes out
hi there.
this is my first post, and unfortunately, it is asking for help..
i recently bought a artemis, and the last couple days i've been searching on roms, both cooking and flashing.
i've tested a couple roms, from vanilla to touch, b&b and others, every single one without a problem. for all of them i've user XP sp2 in a virtual machine (VMWare). everything went ok, cid unlocking and flashing the roms perfectly, and as i finally decided to cook my own rom, i started looking for generic roms from htc, to see what they looked like, so i could had a better understanding on how to cook a good rom to settle my needs.
unfortunately, i flashed a rom, don't now for sure wich, but it's from o2, and from that moment on, i could not flash anymore.
every time i try to run the uspl, i can't get the spl to 1.11.000. it stays on 3.07.000.
i've tried running several times in a row the uspl, then flashing, tried flashing a generic rom, hardspl, arte and uspl, tried running the .nbh from the sd with no success (although there seems to be a fix for that, will try that tomorrow), tried getting into boot and flashing.
but the funny thing is, in the uspl, when it is running, and reaches 70% it jumps to 100%.
and whenever i try to flash it, obviously, i get the error 270 update error.
so, after that, any ideas? the artemis is running smoothly, without a problem, although not with its original rom, and locked to a different provider (it's cid locked to vodafone portugal)
thanks in advance
edit: i've had the chance to test the sd flashind, again, with no result
no ideas anyone?
nevermind, managed to get over it.
used an upgrade from the htc in the language my pda is locked. solve it
I have the same problem. I am working with it !

so, any help and/or ideas?
anyone care to take a look?
