I was unlocking my AT&T SX56 and the rom upgrade just stoped and I could not do anything to mak eit start up again. Now The pocket PC has upgrading rom always on the screen and I can gt active sync to even see the pc to try and flash it or upgrade the rom again. If you have any info you think that might help would be great. Thank you for your help.
If you still can get to the bootloader screen (power + soft reset), you can cook a new ROM as nbf file and use the SD flashing method.
Cool man I can get to that screen and will give that a go
Ok got a SD card and put on a new rom how can I make it load the info from th card. Also everytime I try and make a nbf file type it erros on me.
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739write xip block starting at 81800000, with 3 fileswrite xip block starting at 81980000, with 0 filesheader : No such file or directoryError creating new rom
I picked nb1 said was for flashing with SD card and can't get it to load.
My P535, 71A version. upgrade WM6 HK version from 4.3.25 HK00.
I used a 256MB miniSD with quick formatted( it's the main reason). extract the upgrade file on it. and start the upgrade procedure.
1st step: insert the miniSD into slot. autorun started and asked to confirm. sure. confirm it.
2nd step: system starting upgrade the bootloader, read, verify, and update ok. it ask to reset with power button pressed. do as requested.
Like attachment 111.jpg
3rd step: the bootloader entered a new uploader version with "force mode" displayed. and loading the main upgrade file ASUSP535.CAP. but checksum failed. it it asked to reset with power button pressed again. do as requested.
Like attachment 222.jpg , I failed at checksum because the miniSD only quickformatted
then the nightmare came. I can't see the blue asus screen. and nothing happen when I press reset. the only valid operations are Power+Camera+Recorder + reset to the SD download mode, and Power+Camera + reset to the USB sync mode. in the SD download mode. system not recognize the *.cap file. it request a NB0 file.
What should I do?
1. Enter the Force mode again with a good formatted miniSD is the best way. but how?
2. Use the USB sync mode upgrade the file, it maybe works. but I can't find the usbloader. in my memory. there is one in the lifeforce cooked ROM pack. but it removed when I visit lifeforce's site today. anyone who download the rom pack before please give me the file. I need a try.
-------------------------updated on 9th Jul 2007---------------------------------------
My P535 has been recovered.
just use a modfied 4.3.25 HK00 NB0 file at the SD download mode, it can reverse to WM5, then repair the extend firm. don't reset, direct run 4.3.25 offical update. switch to another sd card with WM6 upgrade ASUSP535.CAP when it reboot to the sd download update screen. and all will go on.
find an old rom on asus ftp or site.
Rename the rom to galaxyII.nb0
Copy it to the card.
Boot your phone with the card in SD download mode.
The upgrade will start.
Good luck.
For me after the autorun, i pressed ok to restart but the phone still block at the blue screen. I try to reset in sd loader with the new rom in sd, with the galaxy name, and the rom is to big for the phone...

I have no idea, but maybe it is because you already upgraded the bootloader?

Yes. the first upgrade step is completed, the bootloader version is changed to 2007/04/16.
when I press Power+Rec+UP and reset, it got a Force mode USB Sync. not like the ordinary USB Sync enabled by Power+Rec and reset.
is there a way to get a Force mode with SD Download? so I can use the 79MB CAP if it accessable.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there's something written @ asus support site, where you can download the new firmware (it's a step by step how-to). Unfortunately, the support site is down at the moment.
Please follow the below procedures to upgrade:
1.Please format your Mini-SD first.
2.Unzip the file and copy it to Mini-SD card's root folder
(Under Mini-SD's root folder, there should only be folder 2577, AsusP535.cap, and GalaxyII.cap;
In folder 2577, there should only be Autorun.exe).
3.Insert the Mini-SD with upgrade firmware into P535's expansion slot and wait for firmware to setup automatically.
If the firmware didn't execute automatically, please execute Autorun.exe in Storage Card\2577\.
4.Click "System" => "Update ROM"
5.System will enter update mode, here the first part of upgrade will start.
Warningo not interrupt the upgrade process. Please execute the rest of the steps until completing step 8 in order
for the unit to execute normally. After the upgrade is complete, a message in red will be displayed.
Please press and hold power button and reset at the same time to start second part of upgrade.
6.After reboot, it will automatically enter update mode. This upgrade takes about 3 mins, please wait patiently.
Please do not interrupt the upgrade process. After upgrade is done, system will reboot automatically.
7.After reboot, it will install extended ROM automatically. After upgrade is done, system will reboot automatically.
8.Please Confirm version in "Start"=>"Setting"=>"System"=>"System Information"=>"Version".

Upgrade WM6 critical problem
I was trying to upgrade my ASUS P535 rom from V4.3.15 WWWEL_RU to firmware V4.7.12 WWE_TH00
I unzipped the P535_V4712_WWE_TH00_EXT_V120 and copied the files produced to the miniSD card except from file AsusP535.cap
I renamed file GALAXYII.cap to GALAXY.cap and copied it again to miniSD card. Also I copied file ASUS.UnlockLangID to folder 2577 and replaced autorun. (P535 ROM Tools.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295778&page=3)
So in miniSD card there are the following files: 2577 folder with autorun and unlocklangid.exe, and in the root, GalaxyII.cap and GALAXY.cap but NOT AsusP535.cap
So I run the update and after the reset I get message ASUSP35.CAP NOT FOUND.
At that point I realise my stupidity (not copying AsusP535.cap to miniSD) so I take the card out, put it in my laptop and copy the AsusP535.cap to mini SD.
I reset the device and stick the card in but I still get the same message ASUSP35.CAP NOT FOUND.
Every time I turn on my device it tries to upgrade rom and I get the mesage. Can someone help please or have I damaged the device beyond repair?
2 mins ago I upgraded my taiwanese p535 to the thailand wm6 rom.
I had already installed a 4.3.15 wwe version, so I figured I could just install the 4.7.12 wwe TH rom without using the "hacked autoexec".
That didn't work, and I was stuck with the blue asus screen.
So I pushed up (on the d-pad) + reset, then "green phone button" (answer button) when it asked if I wanted to.
then reset the phone as soon as it said "performing upgrade" or something like that (when it started installing stuff after windows was booted).
After reboot, I was back at my old 4.3.15 rom.
Then I decided to retry it, following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1352033&postcount=77
(the link to the p525 tools is incorrect. It should be: http://rapidshare.com/files/4612627/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.customized.build.06.zip.html
Edit: The link to the thai wwe rom is incorrect too, it should be: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/IA/P535/P535_V4712_WWE_TH00_EXT_V120.rar)
When I followed these instructions the upgrade worked perfectly. I now have 4.7.12 wwe_au00 installed
I can't give any guarantees, And it may be that I was just lucky, but I suggest you try to remove the miniSD, then push up+reset, press "answer button" when it wants you to confirm, and then, after it reboots, press the reset button as soon as it starts the "upgrade". Then (I hope) it will revert back to your previously installed OS.
After that, upgrade to wm6 following the procedure in the link I pasted above.
extract nb0 from cap for asus p535:
wm5:
xda2nbftool.exe -x galaxyII.cap galaxy2.nba 0xA87BC0d5
wm6:

Hold the up button, then press reset while still holding the up button.
are you sure it says "ASUSP35.CAP"?
It doesn't say "ASUSP535.CAP"?
.nb0 - it's another way t program device
press photo + reset - that asks file - resulted .nb0 file for wm5 or wm6 name as device wants - write that to sd (not sdhc) card formatted as fat16 - and insert it to device.
Friend got a vogue but he "bricked it" he doesnt even remember what he did,
he is very new at this and looks like he did a rom update without doing a radio update first.
i have an HTC titan but i am going to buy this vogue off of him if i can fix it.
so here is the issue...
when u start the goes it goes to the 3 color tri-color boot screen...
it goes right there without even me holding down the power and camera buttons.
i used mtty to get it out of that screen... i do set 16 0 and some other thing i can't remember for the life of me now in mtty
i reboot the phone and now it get the a custom Dette clean rom 6.1 splash screen but it says no Radio and it now just stuck there.
i tried to load the stock rom on a 2 gig fat32 formated flash card and inserted it into the phone. then boot it to the 3 color screen, and it just says no file! in gray backbground then goes back to the tri color screen...
i made sure the name was correct.. i tried "Voguimg.nbh" i tried "voguimg." and just "voguimg" then i tried it in all caps and then all first letter cap then rest lower case...
it is spl-2.01.1000
i think my friend flashed the rom without upgrading the spl as well.
i tried to flast it with sp 2.31 but i couldnt get it to load it. i guess i can't flasth to 2.31 in the tri color screen...
any ideas? any help would be greatly apreciated. spent about a week on this... probably about 2 to 3 hours reading and reseaching daily.

I even tried to stock vogue roms (this is a verizon phone)
but i tried even the following sprint stock roms:
RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship.exe
this gets me to 1% then errors out
and says error 328 invalid command, this update utility can not be used with my phone. please check my update utility... wat
RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
this one stays at 0%
tried the verizon stock rom...
which stays at 0%
i dont know if the spl has something to do with it but i read the first file i mentioned the stock rom 1.12... reloads the spl, boot loader, everything to original.
I noticed when I first flashed my phone, also xv6900, that when I was unlocking, I didn't fully complete it, and it showed SPL version 2.10, or something along that line.
There is no stock VZW ROM available, so that's a waste of time. I think the first problem is, you have no idea how it got that way. I'd assume your friend didn't complete the unlocking process, then ran the RUU for the new ROM.
I'm not 100% sure, hopefully someone can either correct me on this, or confirm.
You should be ok since you can enter the bootloader. Perhaps you could try relocking it, you would use ImCokeMan's relocker, should be SPL version 0.43. Then you could try unlocking again.
I'd suggest checkin at PPCGeeks, asking in either the general Vogue flashing threads, or try asking ImCokeMan himself.
i will try .43, i am trying .41 but it keeps saying no device connected would you like to try copying again?

unbricking ur phone
Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited *This will help those that are stuck at the HTC welcome screen and cannot get past it to load IMCokeMan's Unlocker.**
Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.
Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.
I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.
I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.
I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions
For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.
1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker
Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36
Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier
3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.
5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.
6. Extract your official rom using WINRAR by right click and extract files (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier get it from HTC support website)
7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the files
8. Copy the files to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode(POWER+CAMERA+RESET USING STYLUS), and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.
I have attached the VOGUIMG.nbh file for those that are having problems.

these instructions do not seem to work me.
he has a sprint phone... he assumes it works for all types but i have a verizon phone... and on a signed verizon nbh file ... it only says loading... and gets stuck there... on step 6... and a sprint rom says loading.. and then says checking right away and then says not allowed in red and goes back to the 3 color screen.
also the poster of this mentions he has spl 2.31... my spl says spl-2.01.1000 which is not .40 .41 or 2.31 (the most comment spl's i have seen referenced)
has anyone ran into these conditions? spl 2.01... stuck, and has verizon.
mine was originally stuck at the 3 -color boot screen... even after taking battery out and putting it back in and just powering on without holding camera-power keys... it goes into the boot screen only...
so i used mtty did set 16 0 and then "boot" and now when i restart the phone it goes right to the splash screen and gets stuck there saying dette's clean rom ... but "no radio" and just stays there.
Dear All,
hi i was upgrading my p3300 rom its almost 90% done but my pc suddenly shutdown now my p3300 hang on startup screen i was try to flash with MMC but its also hang on tri-colours plz plzzzzzzzzzzz give me solution &
It also works ROM update mode (Three colors screen) but when I execute the Rom update frommy pc, it reaches 2/3% and gives different Errors depending the ROM
Faraz
1. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader, make sure to format in FAT32 and not FAT although in some cases format doesn't work, also it is only necessary to format if your first attempt at flashing fails
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power & Record buttons and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side), keep both buttons pressed after releasing the reset button.
5. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts. After the flashing process is complete, it will tell you to press any button to continue. After this the bootloader screen with its red/green/blue color is shown. Just reset the device and it will boot the new ROM.
SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.
Not working ??????? Its hang on tri-colours screen i was checked 5 hours
look up the original factory rom of your phone and flash it on your phone doing the normal way
i ill be very appreciated if u give me the link where i can find plzzzzzzzzz
