I bought this phone couple of days ago then realized that the ROM is very unstable(It's using some 'Windows mobile Tai edition'), and I've been searching everywhere for a solution to changing the rom to something else. Now the biggest problem is I'm unable to connect my phone to my computer, as my WMDC seems unable to detect the connection. I tried all the methods I can find on the web to resolve the connection problem, including running bootloader and install driver, thereafter reconnecting, but it didn't work. I tried the methods in wiki on using SD card to flash the ROM (I was trying the CRCs Release 13.3), but failed as well, (the bootloader screen seems to be totally different from the screenshot... Here is a screenshot of my bootloader). Hope somebody can help me THANKS!!!

Since you already have Hard SPL, I suggest flashing your phone with a stock ROM first (I use the AT&T stripped ROM) then after an hour you can flash again to your desired ROM.
Use the microSD card flash method since this is the safest, I'm pretty sure this will work.
The microSD card should be 2gig or less, then format it to FAT32.
Copy the RUU_signed.nbh file to the microSD and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh (not HERMING, I got this wrong when I tried it the first time). This should be the only file in your card.
Insert card to your phone then press power button on the right and OK button on the left then reset your phone, this will go to bootloader then just wait for the prompts (It will ask you to press power button, this will start the update and when it completes you need to soft reset the phone).
By the way make sure your battery is full before flashing, you don't want your phone to die in the middle of flashing.

basicly ive upgraded this unit and now have no gsm ive downloaded the software that i was advised but nothing works says files are corrupt or damaged , sometimes the link doesnt work . i need the factory rom for the orange spv m2000 i think can anybody help me pls
thanks.
since it seems to be the old problem, there was no need to open a new thread, you could have bumped the old one.
also, the answer is still the same. you can find shipped roms at http://xplode.tk
the fact that the wm2003 rom, offered in my tut thread, is corrupt, is aready known. i will fix that some time.

you cannot just download and double click it, i thought that was self explanatory. you need to right click the exe and extract it, in it you will find the ruu and the roms, then you take a custom ruu, like the Chef_Tony RUU from my signature and use that to flash.
also, since you are using windows 7 to flash the device, you need to install another driver and deactivate usb connections in wmdc. use d-two's tutorial on windows 7 flashing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5456317&postcount=6
or simply use a windows xp computer and follow the tutorial in my signature.
ts ts, just doubleclicking the exe, if it was that easy, there would be no need for a 30 step tutorial
i had extracted the files to a folder .. anyways ive got more picks to show this error . after doing what was said .

done everything the pdf asked with success yet i still cant extract my orange rom as pictures above show.
you didn't do everything from the instructions, you are still using BAupgradeut.exe.
you were supposed to use MAupgradeut_noID.exe.
also, i don't see the TEST MODE watermark on your desktop, which can mean several things:
1. you use windows 7 32 bit and everything went fine
2. you use windows 7 64 bit and removed the watermark already, also fine
3. something went wrong during the installation or you skipped a step.
you should straighten these 2 things out before attempting to continue.
also you should put the device into bootloader mode before flashing, charge the battery to 100% and remove both the sim and sd card, just a general advice, i don't know, if you already did that.
the problem, the ruu gives you, however, is not solvable with any of the tips given above. the extrom from the rom you downloaded, seems to be corrupt. the extrom is the file called ms_.nbf and contains carrier-related cab files like a custom wallpaper, dialer skin and other useless stuff. here are some ways to get rid of that problem:
1. resize the partitions using mtty and flash without the extrom:
1.1 with a full battery and without sim and sd card, put the device into bootloader mode
1.2 disable usb connections in the wmdc
1.3 start mtty (look it up in the wiki or through google)
1.4 select wceusb or usb, 115200-8-1-N-N-N, press ok
1.5 hit enter, so it shows USB>
1.6 type task 28aa
now, the partitions are back to factory defaults, close mtty and disconnect the device, still in bootloader mode
1.7 delete the ms_.nbf or move it to another folder
1.8 in bootloader mode, start the ruu and flash the rom and the radio rom.
method 2 is easier:
2. crc errors appear during corrupt downloads, maybe your connection speed fluctuated, maybe you use a wi-fi connection which swallowed a bit or two, or the file was actually corrupt to begin with, try another mirror, or maybe even another rom, there are many different english wm2003 roms at xplode's archive, your carrier is not important.
2.1 flash it using maupgrade, bootloader mode, without cards...
followed you last instruction to the letter and all is GOOD
thank very much
Sorry for my enthusiasm, but here is my problem:

I opened it as Admin, I am on a Radio-S-OFFed and Permrooted Device with Software <1.7x, I checked "Yes, I have Radio-S-OFF" (or how it was called), I connected my phone via charge only, I enabled USB Debugging, I have all adb drivers (HTC sync), I accepted the superuser request on my phone and I so I have done EVERYTHING mentioned in the threads, which I Have read 2 times before doing it, but now this stupid error and I don't know how to proceed.
I hope you guys can help me. I did of course not reboot my phone, and I am continuosly charging it right now to prevent running out of battery.
EDIT UPDATE: I tried the tool now without the box checked, gives me "connection error" (yes I again accepted superuser request)
Ok, ok nevermind guys, figured it out myself:
Thanks to ratman33 and myself for trying out weird thingds
Ratman33 said:
I had the same error and nearly crapped my pants thinking I bricked my phone. Its not really a big problem. Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage apps and clear the data from Superuser. Reconnect your phone making sure you're on charge only, usb debugging. Run the Eng S-off tool and watch your phone as it attemps to push the data. Superuser should pop up asking to let the Eng tool have privs. Click allow and it should work fine. CWM has been working great for me ever since!

But this alone did not work for me. I needed to go to Menu>Settings>Applications and then check "Fastboot" so that it's enabled. Then disconnect your phone from the PC and WAIT min. 5 seconds. Then connect it again and run the tool, and it gives you success message!
But: Can I now be sure everything went right?

It should be. I guess there is only one way to find out, reboot in bootloader and see the results.
or you could have tried with your Wi-fi turned on and connected to a network.....that's the way it worked for me
Please don't yell at me for using the 'search' thing....everything directs to "You've gotta flash your phone" blah...but the PC doesn't even detect the Arc.
So. I just rooted the phone a couple of days ago, and I'm pretty noob-ish at this whole thing, I've got no idea what I'm doing XD
So, what's happened is I flashed the Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0 thing onto the Arc, and then felt like changing stuff so...I did a very stupid, stupid, stupid beyond stupid thing and installed another ROM (via the CWM menu thing on the phone) without factory resetting etc...
Then I rebooted the phone, and now it's stuck at the Sony logo ahhahaha
The PC doesn't seem to detect the phone (or maybe there's a way it will?)
I'm screwed, aren't I? Please help the helpless noob? :3 I'll give you a free imaginary bag of chocolate home-made cookies
well what you saw about 'flash your phone' is actually correct Download flashtool, download a rootable stock ics rom, and flash it lol. Here's a tutorial. When you flash through flashtool, the software recognises your phone so don't worry about it
after flashing, root your phone and you're back at where you started
i can help you...

first you need to download flash tool from here > http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1353476156000

thanks a lot mate..:good:!! my dead phone now back to life..!!
I did face the similar issue couple of times after flashing Ultimate Xperia HD and another ROM. But both times, clearing Dalvik Cache by booting to CWM and then booting to system did the trick. Try it...
I have a pumpkin rk3188, 2gb ram, 32gb nand, 7" head unit (http://www.autopumpkin.com/car-dvd-...-gps-obd2-wifi-3g-steering-wheel-control.html) and I tried to get @Malaysk rom on it, but it wouldn't let me into bootloader or recovery no matter what I did, even with root bootloader just rebooted system and recovery went to recovery but just ran a factory reset script without giving me any options. So I tried to flash a factory image using the gps sd and naming it update.img, now the boot logo is different and it's stuck in a boot loop and I still can't get into bootloader or recovery. And I've tried to put another update.img on the sd card, but it does nothing. Is there anything I can do or am I sol?
I did the alt prtscr I trick with a USB keyboard plugged in n seem to have gotten to some menu but it's off the screen for some reason. I can see the edge of a highlight bar that I can move with the arrows up n down, n a thin line at the end of the list, whatever the list says idk. There's 7 options tho, it seems like the first attempts to boot, the second n third do something bit idk what, n the rest just return to this menu. It's orange btw. I'm going to upload pics of what I see. Can anyone help me figure out what this menu is n if I can use it to fix me unit? Thx!

I GOT IT!!!! I got it back up n running the pumpkin firmware!!! Idk about u man, but I figured out/git lucky with the orange recovery or bootloader I had n couldn't see the writing. I got the official firmware from pumpkin for this unit n downloaded the right mcu img, put them both on the sd card n put it into the GPS slot, then used the keyboard to get to the orange screen n the option that worked was the 3rd one down. It took a while, 15-20 minutes of nothing but a black screen, but it finally came back up with the boot logos. It was stuck at the boot logos again so I reset n did the alt prtscr I trick again to get to recovery again n it wiped n reinstalled the img n bam it worked! Slow first load but it worked! Let me know if u need the files or help.

I've been fighting the same problems. I would love the files too. Which mcu img did you use.
For my pumpkin unit it's a bin file, they call it project-car.bin. There's a mcu updater that uses bin files in the settings. The stock recovery doesn't recognize mcu.img sadly. I uploaded the project-car.bin here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2T5FQZ-WJDQS3hXVFFFTnIwaGc/view?usp=drivesdk) and you can get the stock rom from pumpkin here (https://mega.nz/#!lc9HAbLK!nAIsEvYnSwqCV47vCmMRKBVivygxaJbGD3KPV0pxvZ8)

They same thing happened here too. Just a boot loop and no way to get into recovery with the buttons.
Could you please tell how the mentioned trick works?

Could you please tell how the mentioned trick works?
Use a USB keyboard attached to the head unit's USB port. Either port should work. After powering the HU or resetting, press and hold the alt and prtscr keys, then press and release the "i" key. It should then boot into recovery. If not, repeat.
Hello, can you tell me what can bus options you have in factory settings. Mine have only BMW 1,2,3,4 . no another car. And reverse camera is to black.
Thank you.
I am helping someone with this phone, so I don't have all the details, but I know the phone was rooted and most likely it was running stock Android 10. It had been working fine until a factory reset (from Android settings I am assuming) was done on it.
1. Now when it turned on, it displays the "Bootloader unlocked" warning:

2. After the message, it goes to the Google logo for a second and then to the TEAMWIN splash screen, and it just stays there. I have to long-press the power button to power it off.
3. I can get into the bootloader using the power and volume-down keys, and the "Barcodes", "Restart bootloader" and "Power off" option work, but "Start" and "Recovery mode" just take me back to step 1 and then 2.
So, I cannot get into "Recovery mode". I have also connected the phone to my pc (Ubuntu), but the OS does not detect it, so I cannot use fastboot either.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
If you cant connect to it via fastboot while its in bootloader mode things are grim, thats your best bet at fixing it...
Connect to PC and flash the Android 10 stock ROM by running flash-all.bat while phone is at bootloader
Without editing the flash-all.bat file to remove the -w flashing stock ROM will format user data
Thats it
The state of the phone in the pic does not inspire confidence....
Im starting to think the two things are related....

After connecting a working and identical phone to my PC, I found out that the reason my PC didn't detect this phone was that the USB port on phone was dirty and the connector didn't go all the way in.
After I cleaned the USB port I was able to flash the stock ROM to it. I was getting an error mid-way through, so I removed the "-w" as per your advice, tried again and it worked. The phone works now. Thank you 73sydenay!
