flash while in bootloader mode

[irv6744]

if i can get activesync to connect to my g4 pda in bootloader mode, can i use shelltool to flash a new rom even if i cannot install the two suggested files to the pda prior to the flash.

pda does not connect to the computer but i haven't tried to see if there is a connection in bootloader mode.
pda does not connect to another computer either so i figure the pda is screwed up.

i originally flashed wizard love with shelltool and all was well.
then my maybe-almost-son-in-law played with the pda and now it's a mess.
i'm voting against him but of course, my daughter has the last word.......

Flashing from bootloader, known as RUU method, is different to using shelltool. The RUU method is standalone and basically just involves following a procedure similar to an installation wizard. To flash from bootloader, just get your device in bootloader then plug your usb cable in. Make sure that USB is visible in the corner. Next you just double click on the wizard love rom and follow the directions. From memory they are in italian but you should be able to work what button is what.

Alternatively you can flash from bootloader using the latest rom from your provider.

Good Luck

P.S Maybe start voting for the maybe-son-in-law and try some reverse psychology :)

You must either flash your original vendor ROM (Must be original with RUU unmodified) or Wizard Love ROM using RUU to get your Wizard boot to OS successfully, then you can flash your favorite ROM using Shelltool.

If RUU failed to connect with the Wizard, try to kill the wcescomm.exe in Task Manager (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync) first.

two things.

i tried connecting the g4 to the computer in bootloader mode and no connection.
how do i tell if it is a software or hardware problem.
the pda does charge through the usb connection so does that mean anything regarding a signal connection.

sadly, daughter voted against the guy so now he is the ex almost maybe future son-in-law.
so it goes.
gives me longer to save for the wedding...........:)
