So i had 6.1 but it kept freezing, so I went back to 6.0, and was going to install 6.1 again...and now the screen goes to three colors, and then the installer box says "the image file was corrupted, please check your update utility"
and i dont know what to.
any help?
please and thank you.
First of all you the Kavana's & Rickwyatt's works on T-Mobile Dash, HTC S620 & S621 and you have to make sure your phone is unlock (use SDA Application unlock) to do it.
Try to use on these Upgrades, I recommend you Kavana's 6.1 cuz is easier to install with the (.exe) file but If you want T-mobile MyFaves the Rick's version came with it, Rick is a little more complicated for a lot of files included in the installation package but If you run (install.bat) and follow the steps. And Follow the instructions.
Kavana's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890
Rick's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397845
Good Luck

By the way, if the Phone got frozen remove the battery...I got T-mobile DASH and I have install both and work's good, the problems with Rick's the open applications close automatically if you don't use it.
Good luck again
Rick's 6.1
When you unzip Rick's package you have:
USPL <folder>
Auto
EnterBootloader
rapidtool
ROMUpdateUtility
.

.
Just click on Auto and follow the steps.

Glad you got it sorted.
On computer go Start\Control Panel\Automatic Updates and you can turn them off.
Turn off that Microsoft update B.S.
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.

Worked Perfectly
Thanks you guys, worked perfectly after i re-flashed to the original rom.

Hi all. I want to add themes apps to my touch pro2. Ive looked into the fourm and there is nothing for people who are starting from scratch. Where and how do I add all these files and everything.
Dont reply with try the surch button as I have for the past 2 days and am lost on it all.
There should be a sticky for people like us who are all new to this. So help me and the others people like me
Have you tried looking at the Rhodium themes forum? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=491). There are several themes made by users on the first page (I'm one of them). If you look over at the Blackstone themes forum, you will find more. Almost all of these can be installed via cab file.
and what is cab file?
just draged the ROMeOS³ RHODIUM TRANSFORMATION PREVIEW PACK and had 2 files and but both of them on my phone. Turned it off and on and nothing.
Went in to start and add other programs and it couldnt find the two I put on my phone.
So as I said there is nothing on saying what to do with these files, where they are, where they go and everything. Really badly layed out

funny......... when you add the cab files to your phone or memory card you need to install them using file explorer. just dragging them across doesn't install them...
ok... so why dont people say that in the first place rather than theres the files enjoy there is no step by step on what files to downloader where to put them and everything. So now Im going to try this file explorer. where ever that is on here.
More searching now
thanks for your help just wish other put it up in the frist place for us noobs. Shame my blackberry was so easy on moding

no! file explorer is already installed on your phone. it's in programs or click start and should be one of your shortcuts. no searching............ relax as people assume that everyone knows the basics. not done intentional! open file explorer and navigate to where you put the 2 files. click on them and should start installing!
hurrrrray its working now thank you ! ! !

ha ha no worries dude! glad i could help. always remember thats most windows mobile apps that can be installed on your phone are called cab file. meaning that file ext is .cab. this can be copied to device/sd card memory and be installed!
Check out:
It couldn't hurt if you checked out this link:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=336&Itemid=
Coolsmartphone learnt me all the basics when I first ventured out into the world of WinMo in 2004. I'm sure there are a lot more of these sites, they won't go much into detail on your specific device, but they will help you understand what's underneath Touchflo etc. It will probably save you a lot of frustration...
And I'm sure there's a manual that came with the phone too that will do a lot of explaining if you give it a try.
funny enough I saw that site didnt help much and Ive never seen in the "manual" of how your not use there installed software and use other peoples and how to do it.
Ok, what do you think about this one: New to a PocketPC?

Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)
greetz
ferfecir Clean
This is the best clean rom which is a modified version of Yues clean with 30mb free ram.

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!
download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.
this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton
greetz
i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.
Thanks
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.
thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.
I was not the only user having this problem. There was actually a bounty set for a fix, but I havent seen one yet. Flashed Energy Rom Sense 2.5 and 2.1, provisioning didn work, and neither did cab install for correct key layout. Numbers still across the top row, and most symbols still incorrectly mapped. Seems to be first tilt configuration and nothing will change it back.
The strange thing in my case was before I ever flashed ANYTHING SPL, ROM radio...anything...,(bone stock) my HW keyboard would auto remap to these settings out of nowhere. Two different devices had this problem, i took the first one back, and this one being the second. a soft reset would set configuration back to stock before flash, but now even the cabs available will not change anything. I got a $20 for a .cab fix or a detailed xplnation of how to fix this, and have the entire HW keyboard mapped in english and to at&t tilt 2 configuration that will work on this device
Please Forgive the rant in the prior post concerning this issue, as this has become quite frustrating lol, and I have owned every HTC device at&t has sold and loved em all, but had to hunt fixes for every single one. Ive learned a lot in the process, but sometimes time is limited to be able to constantly search for what would seem to be a simple fix. If you will notice, for as long as long as I have been a member of this great community, I have made very few posts, and asked few questions on my different devices ...I read searched and read some more. I had xda google search as my homepage for a loooong time, help on this issuue would be greatly appreciated!!!
What cab did you use? There's a few floating around. I've tried dozens of roms and only seen this issue with one or two ROMs (both 2.5 roms) but went away after a hard reset. Are you hard resetting your device after flash?

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I thought it odd not to have to do a hard reset as left out in tutorial. I should have done it out of habit from flashing kaiser, and fuze, but no. I did not hard reset. I will try a new flash and do the reset this time. Hopefully thats all thats the problem! thank you very much, and cross your fingers for me lol. If it works I will def keep my word on 20!

Just to help troubleshoot after you hard reset just install whichever keyboard cab you're using, soft reset, and test it out before installing anything or syncing.
thank you thank you thank you!
I cant believe thats all it was! Even more so I cant believe I didn even try the H R after flash. I never once failed to do this when flashing any other device, I guess b/c it was in the directions for noobs to do so in other forums, lol may ought to suggest adding it to the dir for flashing tp2 lol!
THANK YOU BIGTIME, once again! I had become frustrated after tryin multi cabs and reading where it worked for everyone else. all i did was re flashed, h-reset. cab was in uc folder, but that didn work, ended up using att provisioning provided by NRG, and there she was...working like a charm again!
Glad to hear it worked! Thanks for following up to, you're the first person with this issue I've tried helping that actually posted a followup.
