Hi!
Can anybody help me?
I was upgrading with faria's roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762).
It all went ok until it reached 99%. after waiting for around 5 minute at that point, it sad that there was a communication error with the phone, and i need to do some recovery actions(remove from the usb, remove the batteries) It said that if i can see 3 bars, then everything is ok.I could see it, so i restarted the upgrade utility. But it did not want to do anything. It said to get a newer version of the upgrade utility. and my phone remained in that 3 color state, having 3 messages on it: IPL 2.16 then on the other corner saying RUU, then in a next row SPL 2.16
Can anybody help me to fix this phone?
Thank you in advance:confused:

Mine did something similar - PC Blue-screened about half way through the upgrade and left the Wizard at the Bootloader screen. I tried to re-run the upgrade and it said I needed a different version of the upgrade utility. I just re-installed the WM6 MB version and this worked fine, once it was back up and working I re-ran the Faria upgrade and it worked fine.
I think if you just copy the 'nk.nbf' file from Faria's ROM and use the upgrade utility from the MB version it will work.

ok.. here are the steps.. its very easy.. i had the samething..
your phone is probably CID locked.. so what you need to do is just download the original tmobile ROM.. and connect the phone and install the original ROM.. You didnt birck the phone because you get the bootloader screen.. which means, you can still save the phone..
anyway.. connect the phone via usb and install after you install the original wm5, download the shelltool from here and follow the instructions.. and install the ROM via shelltool.. Then you should be good to go with the new
wm6.

DR.P'S UNLOCKING THREAD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435) worked wonders for me.
BTW, after following Dr. P's instructions and loading Faria's ROM, my MDA took approx. 13-15 minutes at 99% before I hit the glorious 100%. Like a wise person before me said, patience is a virtue. I waited until the 5 minute mark, got up, used the restroom, grabbed an ice cold Pepsi and then waited some more. :P
