RUU Fails since i upgraded to a WM6 ROM?

[wizzkidd]

Hi everyone,

First and foremost, let me introduce myself, I am known as wizzkidd (a name that often is used against me at times like these). Aged 27 from London, UK. I'm a typical mod-freak, modding anything and everything possible from PSP's to Wii's to Cable TV etc etc.

Anyway, I've got a SPV M700 (aka HTC P3600) branded on Orange UK running Windows Mobile 5, and everthing works fine. I found this wonderful site when I was researching into the amazing additions and power of Windows Mobile 6.

To my amazement, I soon realised it would be possible to upgrade to WM6, so off I went reading through the forum....

To start with I realised I needed to perform a CID Unlock (and whilst at it, I done the SIM Unlock too) before I could proceed. I done this perfectly fine.

I then found the first ROM that looked impressive as it was based on WM6 and had a bundle of goodies baked within it. (im learning the terminology too, hehe), it was a PDAViet ROM (latest to date)... I followed the instructions and hey presto, my phone was a fancy WM6 version with loads of impressive goodies installed.

After search for more stuff here, I found loads of interesting stuff. But firstly I decided to install the Hard-SPL into my phone for my own protection when doing future ROM flashes.

What caught my eye was the Touch Flo stuff, so I wanted it. Searching through the threads and the progress in development, I soon found a Wizard ROM that includes Touch Flo, and based on user suggestions and feedback, I decided to go for NBD v7.4.

My problem:
- (currently running PDAViet ROM: 02.07.06.PV and have Hard-SPL integrated)

- I double click on the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"

- I tick the "I understand...." and the "I Completed the steps..." boxes

- (the USB cable is connected and ActiveSync 4.5 detects the connection fine)

"Verifying the information on your PDS Phone..." displays for about 4 seconds...

The RUU displays the current information about my phones image, and has a "Update" button to click to update the current ROM version, so I click it...

The RUU displays some verify checks such as
FROM
model ID: ""
image version: "02.07.06.PV"
Language: ""

TO
model ID: "Wizard"
Image Version: ""
Language: "WWE"

I click next twice... the phone boots into the Hard bootloader (SPL-1.20.Olipro) and the USB connection disconects and then reconnects at this point (i can tell this by the audio sounds), the RUU displays the progress bar at 0% and nothing happens, the screen on the M700 stays on the bootloader screen, and the RUU stays on 0% - this lasts for about 15 seconds, then the RUU says "ERROR [264]: CONNECTION, and gives me the option of clicking the "Recovery" button, doing so, and following the instructions, leads to a final message saying: "Error recovery has been successful and the update process is ready to resume. Exit recovery and run the RUU again."... I try running the RUU again, and im back to sqyare one again!

I've even tried using the Soft-SSL (by Des), but the progess bar stays at 0% and the bootloader stays on the screen.

What could be wrong?

PS Thanks for reading and thanks for your patience if you've got this far. lol

Don't flash a wizard rom onto a trinity rom. Only flash trinity roms. That's like trying to flash moto razr firmware on it. Not meant to insult, just telling. I hope your device isn't bricked.

what you're doing wrong is flashing a Wizard Rom on your phone. There's a reason that the forum is divided in to different sections for different phones.

Think of it this way.. would you put a Wii mod on your PSP? you're lucky that the RUU has saved you from carrying around an expensive brick.. read a little more.. flash a little less.. ;)

Ohh I see, I didnt realise 'Wizard' was a different model name, I assumed it was a Wizard in the sense of an 'Easy Install For All...' type ROM, (ie If you was to use a wizard when creating a chart in an excel spreadsheet, catch my drift).

My bad for mis inturpreting what a 'Wizard ROM' was. Ooops. Well, my device still operates pefectly fine anyway.

Do you know anywhere I can get a stable version of Touch Flo for my device? Preferably cooked in a ROM, because I used a alpha version of the Touch Flo .cab file, and I had nothing but problems.

Thanks

there are no trinity ROM's to my knowledge with touch flo built in... should be coming soon now that official Dopod WM6 ROM is out... keep an eye on the trinity mobile 6 forum (and not on the Wizard forum haha)

[wizzkidd]

lol. OK.

I noticed you're using the same ROM as me at the moment. Have you tried installing the Touch Flo (Alpha) cab file and managed to get it working by anychance? (eg. No black screen)

[racerx_]

didn't work for me. I couldn't really be bothered to mess with it too much as people have such varied results. Someone will cook it in to a ROM before long. Look out for mun's Indigo ROM.. he said he'd put it in.
