Need help with hp 4700 Upgrade tools and know-how...

Hi, Need some help here....tired of the same whole mix-mash from htc (recycled phones) so going back to basics - htc s620 (wm6) + my just acquired used 4700. Intend to upgrade it to WM6.1, I've been using htc phones so I am used to rom flashing... or so i thought. I downloaded some of the wm6 and 6.1 roms only to find that dont come with an ruu built in. Not a problem I thought,just get a carrier and replace the nbf file. Unfortunately despite an extensive search on brighthand and here and yahoo searches galore i havent been able to find a suitable guide with the necessary utilities to carry out the flash. The "universal bootLoader" no longer seems to be around (404 errors) samething with other Ruu's (from ru websites etc) yet I can still see thru the long 220 - 251 pg threads that people are flashing with something. In the interest of new 4700 owners would it be possible to have a particular "How-to-flash" thread possibly as a sticky? If not at least can someone help me with a how-to guide and any link to the relevant ruu or bootLoader utility for the rom flash.
Thanx all appreciate it.

You can find all the neccessary information on this page; different ROM's, a bootloader, and instructions in PDF format..

Thanks a lot ridolfo. that has helped a great deal. Slight problem that you hopefully know a way around. After downloading the BootLoader.exe rar file, I tried to open it to proceed but it kept on coming up with an error... "windows cannot open the selected path file...you may not have the appropriate permissions to open them" I just cant get past that altough it has apparently opened and expanded showing a whole lot of other files but i cannot basically get past that stage to run the rom nbf file... Any ideas please?

Right sorted!
Very simple but unexpected solution especially since i hadn't seen the issue mentioned elsewhere.
Simply disconnected all connections to the internet especially wifi (for safety/protection etc) and then disabled zone alarm!
Everything went thru as normal,updated and now just waiting for boot-up.
thanx a lot Ridolfo!!!

[Q] achieving Radio S-off

hi guys apologies in advance if this in the wrong forum.
i have recently downgraded and permantly rooted my phone (i now have super user permission etc) however: (apologies for the long post)
addictivetips.com
is the guide ive been following for the rooting part and it now moves on to radio S- off. Im stumped and googled a solution before i came across this forum and am totally stuck on the next part...
i have installed android SDK program (unsure as to why though) and downloaded the needed bits to achieve the radio off. I can command prompt from the folder on my desktop (right click and command prompt here) however completing the next bits i get " not a valid command or an internal or external blah blah blah..".
can you please help??
i also found an "easy radio off toolkit" which just says "error occured probably connection".
i have my phone connected via USB charge only and debugging on.
thanks !!!

For those with update error: 800705B4; 80180080; solution posted

Hey guys. After many frustrated days searching for a solution to "The timer ran out on what we were trying to do.", I found today an official solution posted by Microsoft.
So, for those with either:
800705B4: The timer ran out on what we were trying to do.
OR
80180080: We couldn't update your phone because your operating system might be corrupt.
search for "WPSupportTool" in google (Article ID: 2530409) and download for your Windows PC. (Sorry; can't post links!)
This is the best solution so far to update without erasing/reseting your phone. Enjoy!
From their article:
"Try using the Windows Phone Support Tool. The Windows Phone Support Tool is an application that fixes problems that prevent your Windows Phone 7 from updating successfully. The tool only works for the two error codes listed in the Symptoms section."

How can I use the WP Support Tool on Leo - HD2 > it doesn't have "camera button"

I've also been stuck with 800705B4 for months now. Very frustrating.
I believe I've tried everything...
I can't even unlock my SD card because I also get the 800705B4 error when I try to send the unlocker file via cab sender.
Well, I guess we just have to hope until there's a fix for the 800705B4 on HD2

if i use this tool (WPSupportTool) is it going to erase my phone ?
what about interop-unlock ? am i going to loose it ?
i'll really appreciate your answers

Erase phone: REALLY?? Read the first post:
"This is the best solution so far to update without erasing/reseting your phone."
Remove interop-unlock: highly unlikely, although a few updates do that for anybody.
The obvious answer is make sure you have a backup/restore point (if possible) so you can roll back if something gets messed up.

[Q] How can i root a defy?

Hi Everyone!
I have been given a Defy MB525 with Froyo installed
Apparently O2 and Motoblur don't like each other 'cos I can't locate the phone or do anything else using "My Motoblur" as Motoblur wants Microsoft Explorer and I have Linux on my computer.
I want to manipulate files and basically get full access to my phone using a nice friendly Linux GUI, but apparently I need to root the bloody thing.
I know this question has been asked before. The thread below is an example.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9456771
The thread mentions Z4root as an answer.. It doesn't exist anymore.
It then talks about adb and pushing files into the phone.
In the most part this worked
The bit that didn't was "adb push exploit.bin /data/local/tmp/exploit.bin"
It doesn't exist on the zip file attached..
It did however have "rageagainsthecage-arm5.bin" instead
I changed the name to exploit bin in the vain hope that it might be the one and continued the instructions.
It obviously wasn't the one as :
a) it wouldn't come out of the program and
b) I got the $ sign instead of the # sign, which meant I was not root.
This was confirmed when I did the next step in the instructions and got permission denied.
After a switch off and on again (the phone) I cannot even get get back into the phone using adb. It just comes up "error: device not found" even though Linux is showing it as a directory.
So! What next?
Yours in anticipation
Fitchie

I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 and work very fine with froyo

You can look at the stickies at the top of the forum before posting, see "Defy all-in-one beginner's guide", understand that it probably refers to you and most likely contains the answers to any beginner questions you'd want to ask, open it, read it in case you're serious or just look for "rooting" word if you're not.
Well, you already missed the first part and posted the thread, but you could still do the rest.
Given that you're running Linux on your PC, I'm a bit puzzled - I'd think that the described above is expected from someone with unorthodox OS that is likely used to searching for various guides.

Using "SuperOneClick" is the best way to do Root on your Defy MB525.

I've done this. .. hope it'll help

A fix for a common problem involving installing the 15 sec adb installer by snoop05

I ran as administrator did everything i saw in the thread but i kept getting an error stating "the system cannot find the path specified" I had no clue what to do. I searched and looked (i was unable to post and ask) although with due diligence I finally found others with this issue most believed it was a windows 10 issue but its not A user by the name of damaph Thank you as i was unable to do so in the thread where you posted this
Damaph said:
I don't know if you guys have the same issue but I had a similar "0 files copied" problem and was able to fix it. My issue was because the script trys to save a log file to
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\adb-installer.log
My desktop was moved to another location so %USERPROFILE%\Desktop did not exist. To fix it, I temporarily created a desktop folder in my user profile (c:\users\[username]\desktop).
Snoop05, I would move the log file location to %temp% instead of %USERPROFILE%\Desktop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This was the solution to my issue and hopefully anyone else who may have missed that post and your having this issue thank Damaph and Snoop05
I am very thankful for this as I am not very familiar with using ADB previously i always just used an SD card and never bothered with ADB although with the OnePlus 3 that's not exactly an option.
thanks both of you guys! :highfive:
