Can't connect with AS (Install a new ROM via my SD card)

[dixan]

Hi,

Can I install a new ROM via my SD card because I cannot connect to Active Sync? I've been searching for hours but still can't fix my problem.

I tried to upgrade the radio rom only, but after that there is no radio version, no phone or internet, system on MDA is VERY slow, and I can't connect to active sync.

I can get bootloader up, but I cannot install the stock rom I downloaded from this site, because i can't connect with active sync. I've tried to copy it to an SD card and install from there, but that doesn't work either. In bootloader I do not have USB at bottom left on my screen.

only

IPL 1.03

SPL 1.03

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

You don't need activesynce

You just need to get into bootloader search for it then run the RUU.

If USB is not showing up in the bootloader (rainbow screen) then the only known way to backup is via SD card. The RUU cannot be used in this case.

You'll want to dig out the original backup that you made when you first got the phone and do a restore boot. Restore the image from the SD card.

If you want the improved radio ROM, I'd suggest restoring from SD card, CID unlocking the device, upgrading to an AKU 2.x ROM (so you've got a 2.x bootloader) and then applying the 2.x radio ROM upgrade.

will follow link in above post and see hoe it goes; anyone got any other comments?

well, funnily enough I ran the ROM backup as a precaution, but it seems a. not to have worked and b. to have wiped my SD card, so am buggered whichever way you look at it.

Does anyone have a backup image they could email/FTP to me so I can at least get to USB in bootloader?

THanks,

ok, thanks to the tip from a99tandem.

Reset, holding down the camera button, allows you to go into boatloader, and you can flash a ROM from the PC using RUU. Bootloader comes up with 'USB' in the corner.

Thank god for that; that's 5 hours wasted...
