English Update Utility

This is also hidden somewhere in a thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread. We (G4 owners) don't need to flash all our roms in Italian language. In stead of copying all the Update Utility files just copy "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and it will stay in English.

So if you get this error on you're G4:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility

Just replace the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"! (I'll attach it too)

If you want to turn an already Italian installer into English replace all the files from "English Update Utility Files G4.zip".

[Flexer]

Great! Thanks a lot for these! Hepled me a lot ;)
Guess it should be a sticky, as not many people know where to find these things. :)

[sonica]

I've tried ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe but keep getting

"Error 208: File Open.

The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update utility".

Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?

[thepimps]

maybe you're not with the utility and the nk.nbf in the same folder(all in the root of the folder).

[aractor]

Thank you so much...this just saved my otherwise bricked phone!

[haroonie]

thx worked perfect in flashing the radio rom on my g4 to 2.19 uk!

:)

[Ninjay]

I can't figure out how to upgrade my rom. I keep getting the dreaded Error 300.
Can somebody provide instructions on how to run this?

[orelse4054]

How do I do this?
What should I replace?

Where should I put the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" file?
I just normally run the updateroom from a folder on my laptop, so where should I place "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"?

I am attemping to flash Superrom

If the rom is one exe file, unpack it first with winrar. You'll see the file afterwards.

[orelse4054]

Yes I knows it becomes a exe file after I have zipped it.

Ok here it goes:

I run a normal ROM update exe file, I get the
"ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility"

Then what shall I do with the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe " if I just run this one the message: ""Error 208: File Open."

Can someone set up a step by step guide please?

[vippie]

Seems you haven't upacked the rom executable. You should have multiple files afterwards (e.g. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and nk.nbf). Just replace the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe! The file error tells it can't find your nk.nbf.

Damnnnnn Vippie Rocks!!!!!!!

[manga]

How to do it ..
is it just click and run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID .. and the application will do all .. or we just need to but all stuff in unpack flash ( any flash ) and install it to firmware ??

[wes_young]

I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300

Thanks Wes

Impossible.... it's you who did something wrong.

[asfoor]

Impossible.... it's you who did something wrong.

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.

If you were to create a folder then extract the utility to that folder, then click on the extracted file, then for sure you will get the error msg.

Download first the ROM you want in a folder, All New ROMs will extract to two files. One of those files is the rom update utility file that you will need to replace with the Update Utility exe file in this post. To do this just extract the update utility tool ( posted here ) in the same folder of the downloaded and extracted ROM folder. You will then be up and running. Follow the instructions.

[asfoor]

To follow up with my previous post, I would suggest you start with the 'Wizard_Love rom or the Button Rom as basis. This will reset your download prompts on your device to accept any Wizard compatible ROM of your choice. After the first update most likely you will not need this utility to update your favorite rom onto your device.

[vippie]

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.


And even than it wouldn't brick the device. So your "no" should be "yes, you're right vippie"!

Did you notice the "developers" in the websites name? What are people doing on this forum if they don't know how to REPLACE a file. It isn't necessary to spoon-feed people.

[hajii]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I extracted the patched .exe file to the folder where the .nbk file was, and when I double-clicked on it, I got a dos box that popped up, and then nothing.

[hajii]

never mind. I guess I must have gotten a bad download. Worked like a champ after I downloaded it again.

[Midnight_Rush]

Can someone set up a step by step guide please?

Yes that would be useful please, or is there one here somewhere already, can't find it...

[lekterine]

How do I do this?
What should I replace?

Change the "Molski.Biz_AKU3.3_21911_8MB_Crossbow.exe" for the "*.cab" and extract the files in a new folder. Then replace "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and that's all

Was given an MDA Vario as a hand me down after my bro upgraded. From a PocketPC virgin to flashing roms in a week! Thanks for this solution - it worked! :)

Had the same 'INVALID UPDATE TOOL' problem using Blackdiamond3.1 but this fixed it!

[aldogarzat]

I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300

Thanks Wes
I got the 300 error message, then I installed the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" with the others files and it started to install the ROM (I know because I could see the progreess from 0% at 100%), But although the rom finished , my Wizard got a Tricolor screen. I have run the ROM tree times and It stills same.

What should I do to Update my wizard? Regards Aldo

(I´m apologyze about my english, I hope you can help me)

Which is you phone a G3 or G4,always post data of the phone.Which Rom are you trying to upgrade and is your phone CID unlocked ?

[sahil2007]

hi
hello
plz help me how to change language into english.
IPL 1.04
SPL 1.04
GSM 01.09.10
OS 1.4.9.2
I have I-Mate K-JAM.
Thanks.

[scousemartin]

CID unlock it then you can flash an english rom to it or any rom you like, in fact

A G3 Device and a G4 device are not the same so make sure you know which one you have


go and read some info here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard, you will need lokiwiz to unlock the cid, info about how to do unlock is located on the wiki , i would advise that you read it ALL TWICE before you attempt to do anything stupid

[thomasvdalen]

Always flash/upgrade on a PC running WinXP,disable if any Antivirus/Firewall running in the background,secondly,try to 'End Process' maximum number of programs running in the background through 'Task Manager'.Don't surf or use Internet during flash.
