Hi it has been a while since I dished my Windows O.S... and i don't want to go back.
I need to flash my cousin Sony Ericsson to the Nordic firmware, but seems like the Flashtools tool is only on .exe Format, Will it run Ok under wine.
Please i wanna know i dont want to brick its phone.
for the safe i suggest you do it at the internet cafe
No it wont work... As i belive that Linux dosent support live USB, which is why you cant use Microsoft Mobiel Device Centre,
In which case you would have to use the SD card method, Alothugh this could be complete balls, So i would try it out, and/or go to a Linux forum ? ubuntuforum.com
and ask there or even go to an IRC chat room and ask '????

Hi guys, I've searched already, and found nothing that answers my question, so that's said. Now, my Windows computer (a laptop) was SMASHED by a cousin of mine. That was the computer I used for flashing (everything else, I'm an Apple-lite, so I use my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro) But now I can't flash. Is there any way to do this with Missing Sync? on Mac OS X?
No there isn't. To bad. I use a Mac too (and the Missing Sync). All the rom flashing and stuff happens on a PC.
But...
Since you've got a Mac with an Intel processor, you can use Apple's Bootcamp or some sort of Windows emulation app.
ah!! A fellow Apple-lite. Hmmm... Can't flash... that IS rather depressing...
Flashing on a Mac Solutions
I also am searching for a solution to this problem. I have a Powermac G4 so, alas, I can't do mine through intel via bootcamp. I would have to spend the money and lower myself to Virtual PC. I'd rather put that towards a new Macbook Pro! You can do it through bootcamp. I did it at my Dad's house on his macbook pro while I was visiting.
In my searching I've discovered that you can flash via your sd card, but you need a program to extract the .cab and make a change to the file. They were sugesting cabextract. Problem is, that it's not available in Leopard right now, and I haven't found another solution yet. I'm still searching though. If anyone can give any more light on this or correct me if I'm wrong that would be great. I really want to come up with a solution for us mac guys!

Way to put my smiles up there! Ha!

Check out VMWare Fusion which lets you run XP in a window. I use that to flash to my MDA Wizard and it works great. The only thing I haven't been able to do - and it may be resolved now in a later release of Fusion - is upload maps for my iGuidance navigation software. For that I have to use the PC.
Hope that helps.
You can use BootCamp to install & run Windows XP natively on your mac.
One of the problems is that I don't have a copy of Windows XP SP2 or above... I have SP1, but not SP2. And I don't have Vista either.

I don't know how to do it sans Windows. Please let us know if you figure that out.
In other words, I can't use Boot Camp, cos it requires at least XP SP2.
get ur device CID unlocked(CID unlocking requires activeSync)
n then try SD card formatting it doesnt require any computer
After my desktop fried, and i'm always on the go, i purchased a macbook and its my primary computer. I use windows xp running through VMWare's fussion to flash roms, hardspl, cid unlock, tether.. basicly everything for my WM devices. Works perfectly fine for my hermes and kaiser, but wouldn't work on my wizard(that was with parallels) and haven't tried on my magician.
Anyways, i used to use parallels before fusion and it also said it needed an xp sp2 cd, but i went ahead and installed it through the xp sp1 cd and downloaded the sp2 update after xp was installed and everything worked out fine. SO go ahead and give it a try with sp1 and see what happens. Also if you decide on running parallels or fusion, make sure you have enough ram! (i have 2gb ram on my macbook and fusion is set to use 1gb when its running and it runs perfectly!)
I just received a tmobile dash and had a couple questions for you guys.
What are the most functional modifications you guys have performed or the mods that you would recommend? I've read through some of the threads and i'm not sure where to begin, what will increase performance and use-ability?
I will primarily use the phone for internet, phone, messaging, and i would like to run pocketnes, but i have seen some of the themes you guys have and love the layouts.
Any advice you can offer about the phone, altering its performance (or making things easier or more accessible) is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
I would suggest to go with the 6.1 rom which I have below. Its really nice and it has nice interface. In order to install the rom go to the link below, download, and run auto.bat on your phone. Then use the configurations I have posted below to configure your phone (like internet, mms, email, etc.). Let me know if you have any problems.
do i download this using my phone, or should i download it on a pc and then transfer it over?
thanks for the help
Download and then extract the file and plug your phone in and run auto.bat and it tells you what to do on the screen.
i bet you he gets an error... lol
k, i need to setup a pc cause i have a feeling doing this on a mac won't exactly work

I doubt it, because you'll need to run ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista) to connect your Dash.
Hi Together,
I try to update the radio and os on my universal. My problem is that I only have a Linux machine. I tried to use VMware, Paralles and VirtualBox with Windows XP Pro inside, but the update always fails. I tried on a Windows PC, which I borrowed for a short time, and it worked. So I think the problem is not my knowledge of the update process.
Since I'm quite new to the universal I still would like to play around with some ROMs, there for I'm still searching for a way to perform updates via Linux.
Of cause I would prefer a more "native" method, instead of using a virtual machine.
Any ideas, hints, etc.?
Best Greetings
Thorsten
I'm watching for this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296436
In TODO file which cames with latest flasher sources I see Universal to support in nearest feature.
However, I'm able to upgrade CE rom using vmware from my linux, but unfortunately not GSM rom (I suspect I have corrupted GSM)
Hi Vacula,
thank you for your hint, I see there is hope...
I don't think your radio is bad, I have the same error on my tested VMs. But on a Windows PC my universal flashes like charm ...
Greetings
Thorsten
Hope you'r rigth! I'll try to flash from windows machine as soon as I get one, and 'll report here just to know what's current status with virtual machines in linux and usb.
Hi, all, i have problem with my SPV 700 (HTC 3600) - Trinity.. When I turn on it, I see only start screen eith HTC logo, (you'll see it in attachments) there is only M 05 B05, R 1.50.08.11, g 32.83.7020.20h, D 3.00, i can do nothing... I cant reflash ROM because my computer cannot find it, and instalation write updater is old, you must find newer updater.. When i install acivesync, it cannot find too, but my installers (5 downloaded) will start, but write Cannot find hardware. (or mobile phone). Is any program, to connect my htc, or reflash ROM?
I found Schaps_WM6Pro_Trinity_4.30.2008_WWE_Full(p3600I) or some next, but every write cannot connect. Thank you very much.
Load from mini SD!?
You can try loading your ROM from mini SD card !
You need to format sd card to FAT32 with Card Reader first!

Have you tried to hard reset, leave the device on tricolor screen and retry loading ROM?
Use the proper SPL to load!
If you are a Windows Vista user - the driver from this site it will be the sollution - search for it!
I cant go to tricolor display, i cant reset, i cant do anything, i thing it freeze.. sorry my english, im from slovakia. Or.. how I can go to tricolor mode? I try all combination clicks.
Power+Camera+reset button with ur touch pen

Man please read from instruction from the passage named HARD RESET, the button you are talking about its for software reset only!
Use the seq. Power+Camera+reset!Keep each button pushed and then use stillus for reset and you will get the Tricolor screen - but first format your SD like i describe in the post #2 and then copy your ROM on it!
exactly the same problem here. i tried to re install gelly_01 greek rom. The only requirement i did not follow was the connection with active sync. I am using Vista and the connection with the pc invokes the windows mobile device center. I tried to reinstall through a xp vmware with activesync but i get an error 270.
Any thoughts?
I am trying to find sth relevant.
thnx!

Hard reset your phone first, then use the bootloader method(Camera+Power+Reset then in the bootloader connect the usb cable)!
First try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659
If not - read carefully the instructions from here:
- http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66 - all you have to know about hard SPL and how to do.
Anyway, also try to change the Rom image that you have used when you bricked your device!Try a new ROM by the date of release!
Thnx for the advice! I got it working. Before reading your reply I had started installing the original rom provided by htc (WM5). It installed correctly and at least i have my phone back. I will check your links about hard SPL (thanx ) but i had installed the gelly_01 rom before , not through vista though.
I will try to reinstall it.
It's getting late here so i will check it tommorow and infirm you.
Regards.
problem solved Its working now, but I dont know how i repair it
for unlock CID HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip (Its not compatibile, but my opinion is it unlock but dont repair rom) then i give there [P3600i] HardSPL v1.1.rar and end is Trinity_WM_6.1_NEW.OS_19965_Diamond_edition_by_Akeo_V3.1.rar all files are in attachments.
I give there HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1.zip too, before Akeo Diamond edition.
This can be closed now. Thanks for all thank you ! Here are lot of good peoples really thx

For vista you have to use windows mobile device center
do a search for: how to flash in vista
if you see usb in the top then just try flashing another rom... ther's a thread in the wiki on how to upgrade/flash rom in vista... mostly you need to download a driver for vista depending the 32bit or 64 bit.... then you should be able to flash successfully....
try the link below....
