when trying to open official european rom update exe's i always have the same problem on my xp machine which gives me the old RUU has encountered a problem and needs to close before it even opens.
This problem only seems to happen on official europe roms on this particular machine.

I am trying to use the offical HTC WM6 update (I have the dopod 838pro and i am sure i can use this update)
but when ever it starts to patch, my phone would somehow turn itself off (not totally off, just on standby) which will make my update result in a error 260
Tried everything and it doesn't the update doesn't work in bootloader mode.
Can anyone shed some light? I have no clue what is happening.
Thanks!
Never used it myself.

I had similar problems after installing a ROM earlier in the year. I think it was the radio upgrade that effectively bricked it. I ended up flashing a legit ROM for my operator (T-Mobile) and taking it back to the store under its year warranty.
For that reason I have never touch the Radio on mine again!

hey
I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this
Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...
thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?
Didn't look hard did you??

thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem
I almost gave up trying to get Bada 1.2 or 2 working on my Wave S8500. Most European flashes don't contain the UMTS850/1900 needed in North America for 3G/3G+.
I finally found the Venezuela 'L' flash contained those .
You can get that file plus the original S8500M flash for Bell from here
http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...00m-wave-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
Both flashes are near the bottom of the page.
You'll need to record your Network Connections before flashing as the Bell Internet connections are not hardcoded in the Venezuela flash.
Working like a charm and quite the update from 1.0
Enjoy
Does this really work in North America? Do you have any problems with network coverage, or any other problems?
Has anybody else from North America (Canada) tried Venezualla's "L" firmware on WAVS8500?

I can confirm it does indeed work. As for any problems or bugs, I didn't really run into any. I'm not a heavy cell phone user though so YMMV. Overall I would recommend it. I remember there being a trick I had to do to make it english, and the Venezuelan firmware had a weird theme IMO but that is easily changed. Loading this firmware also allows you to run the fota file to unlock your phone for free. I would say download the Venezuelan firmware as well as the stock Bell firmware. That way, if you don't like it, you should be able to go back to the way it was.
Do you remember, what version of Multiloader did you use to load the firmware and what was your operating system, XP, Vista, or win 7?
A while ago, I also tried to load Bada2 from Venezuela using Multiloader 5.64 under XP, but my phone crashed after bootloader. After that, there were some issues (usb not recognized) going back to Bell's Bada1 and I gave up. May be I did something wrong.
Has anybody else tried Venezuela's Bada2 and what versions of Multiloader, OS did they use?

try version Multiloader 5.67 then after flash try master reset *2767*3855#
OK people,
I managed to install the Venezuela firmware from Movistar, but what I can see I am not able to install applications both through Kies and the phone (Samsung App). The application store in Kies does not recognize the devise, but Kies itself recognizes it?! With manual selection of the device, I am able to download applications in Kies and it gives 100%, but don't see them anywhere in the phone.
For those having Win XP operating system and interested to flash there is a version of Multiloader 5.67 (with fixed GUI for XP) which works fine. It is called "Multiloader 5.67 by Bride". Here is the link:

Correction:
App store in Kies is working, but you have to select Venezuela as the store country!
Hello,
I am currently with Freedom Mobile, but my phone was purchased through Rogers, has the open Network Bands to use the Freedom network, and a new P6 Freedom Mobile SIM Card. My phone is also running as HTC_001.
Before modifying my phone and having to re-do everything I may have done in the past:
Can anyone on either Freedom Mobiles network with their stock RUU confirm they have the Wifi Calling option and it works?
To be able to use services of a carrier, like WiFi calling etc, you MUST be using a firmware that came from that carrier. If freedom issue a specific firmware for the m9 you must use it. If they don't and their phones come "network unlocked/debranded", ie using the 401 firmware, then you should be able to access the WiFi etc on any device. Another example is if you want to use tmobile features then you need a tmobile firmware.
So the question you need to find the answer to is "does freedom carrier have a branded firmware for the m9".
You are correct. Based on my research earlier, I came across that same conclusion.
I think the best/only way to test this however, is a) if someone has a latest version of their branded firmware and can check this or b) I get a TWRP restore and install this on my phone (I assume this is possible and not IMEI restricted) or c) I find another way to get to a stock firmware.
I changed my CID back to the Freedom Mobile one and downloaded the stock TWRP backup from the old Canadian Stock ROM thread, but it is either too large or possibly too old and incompatible with my phone.
I had to use ADB commands through computer to restore, and it looked like it would accept. However, the computer was stuck at "unlock phone screen to continue" and TWRP said "MTP enabled."
Those backups are most likely too old. You can try to find a suitable RUU on easy-firmware or you need to contact llabtoofer's RUU service since at the moment there is no freely available RUU for your phone. The links can be found in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.

Just a quick update. I ended up aborting this "project" of mine.
Despite using Mac OS, encountering corrupt zip files and other files issues where I would get an 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR, I ended up finding my biggest issue.
My MID was set to OPJA10000, instead of 0PJA10000. This issue caused multiple hours of frustrations. I have now flashed my phone back to stock 4.28.401.3. I will most likely have to reinstall TWRP and restore my previous backup.
On another note, is anyone else unable to find the HTC Mail app in Google Play store? Mine crashes every time I try to reply to emails or create a new one. Google Play Store on the computer shows my M9 is not compatible.
Get rid of Google Chrome. I don't know what's exactly the reason but current chrome versions break the HTC Mail app.

Same for me. Not compatible.
Just an update to this.
They released a new version of HTC Mail v10.70.1031252.
Based on quick trials, this has resolved the recent issues regarding HTC Mail and Google Chrome being at the latest version, regarding crashing when creating a new email or replying, but I have not tested it extensively.
I know this should be a new thread with a proper title instead of piggybacking on an old one, so if a mod can create one (or prefers I do), that would be great.
Good day guys,
So after my phone went dead from a phone carrier update went bad i set up to find a way to fix it, and i did manage to Unbrick it back to android 5.
That was fine and all but on the process of fixing it i found out that the android 6 update is still not available at my country (living in 3ยบ world suck) so after some research i found that my phone (h522f) is the same as h525n and since them i ve been trying to find a way to flash a v20a image with android 6 from the h525 whit no luck.
Tried LGUP, it shows "unknown"
Tried a lot of different version of LG Flash tool (the 2014 version was the one capable of fixing my phone but it does not flash the h525 kdz and the other versions give me a failed previous load error)
Tried KDZ_FW_UPD (does not open)
Tried changing the build.prop
So what i want to ask is if there is any way to flash a firmware from the h525 to my phone or if i have to w8 for lg to release an official update?
