Can not install new ROM Activesync Error

[garthed]

I intalled some new rom tonight. When I tryed to change the rom again using a kitchen with a EXE file I get error messages. The first error comes from the black DOS looking window that says

ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting devicedata

After that prgramme a v1.09 comes up say to hit next. Once I go through the couple if next buttons I get a second error.

ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR

Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial Cableis properly connected.

The cable is connected and activesync works normally. Please help.

Thanks

T-mobile ROMs are known to prevent USB flashing ... you will have to use the SD card method with .nbf files

[garthed]

Could you link me to the directions on how to do it that way. I'm really new at this. Is the SD the sim card?

Thanks

It seems you are familiar with the kitchen and that's fine ... cook your new ROM as usual but select the ROM to be .nbf file.

Using the XDAtools (www.xda-developers.com/XDAtools/) you can copy this file to the SD card (Secur Disk card for expantion not the SIM and it should be 64 MB or higher) ... then goto the boot loader (soft reset while pressing power) ... it will ask you to perss action ... when flashing is done, press hard reset ... wait 60 sec then press hard rest again ... enjoy :)

Doing this you must have a sd card

First thing you have to do is Back up your pocket pc.

1. go to the kitchen
2. select items for your rom
3. cook rom in nbf format ( secont method )
4. download xdatools from xda-developers.com
5. backup your sdcard in on your pc b/c this will format your card.
6. unzip the rom you cooked
7. now using the next step will erase your pocket pc
8. press the power button and reset you phone with your stylus
9. now you will see a different scree in the bottom it will say bootloader version xx
10. you must have below 5.15 if not start the program in "fix broken bootloader" in xdatools menu on your pc.(you mmust have your pocket pc connected to activesync.
11. now put your sd card in your pda and run xdatools browse to the file you downloaded and unzipped.
12. now press copy.
13. you will see a progress bar.
14. when this completes again press the power button and reset using your stylus.
15. now press the action button.
16 . the screen will now say FLASHING .
17. when this completes you will see your new rom.

I have done the same thing 2 days back.

FLASHING IS DANGEROUS NO GUARANTEE.

Do I need to install the xdatool to the pocket pc? And then run it from the pocket pc or from my notebook? Do i put the nbf and unzip it in the SD card or on my notbook.

I'm with a similar problem... but i can't use active sync because the pc craches :(
Can i just copy the nbf fileto a sd card through a sd card writer? And do the all other stuff in the same way?

[Rudegar]

not you cant copy the nbf file to the sdcard it will not work you HAVE to use xdatools to get it there
