Upgrade from Flash Card

[grandalf]

Hi,
This is my first post and I would be most grateful for a little advice. I have a XDA Exec that suffered a broken USB socket, since I replaced this, I cannot connect to Activesync, just shows as unknown device. Question is, is there a WM6 rom upgrade with voip that can be done from the flash card, or is this a stupid question and USB the only way. Any info would be very welcome.
Thank you

it is possible but you need access to another universal

1) Flash the ROM you want on the other universal (unless it is already on there)

2) Using Mtty, as Described in the HTC Universal Service Manual (http://htc-devs.com/uploads/Universal/Tools/Service%20Manual/HTC_CONFIDENTIAL_-_UNIVERSAL_SERVICE_MANUAL.pdf), Backup the CE section of the ROM of this device to a freshly formatted SD card (I use a 256mb card, experiment for others)

3) Put your Universal into bootloader mode and then insert the SD card conatining the backup image.

4) Follow the on-sreen instructions to flash it to your device

5) Hard Reset

I have the same problem as Grandalf, the worst is hard to find another Universal ppc.

Is there any other way, like the other ppc phones that can flash the rom by SD card ?

Hi,
I'm also looking for a back-up image too! Can you make one of the latest WM6.1 version ROM? Like this version: [UPDATE: Ranju's - v7.1] WM6.1 Pro - 5.2.19188 (Build 19188.1.0.0)
Thanks!

Technically it's actually feasible to flash the ROM from storage card WITHOUT having 2nd device or backup image.

I'm sure it should work the way I'm thinking but it has to be tested before end-user flashing. I may write a how-to if I have some time......some day.

Cheers

I've uploaded everything from the device to an SD card now and it should work, as I get the screen telling me to press power to flash.

Unfortunately the card is not formatted in a "proper way", meaning the Uni and windows both see it as unformatted.

Is there a solution to make a sector based copy of the card, so I could provide its content for those people with broken USB connectors?

i would also be very interested in this. i dropped my uni a few months back with the cable plugged in and it smashed the usb port on the uni. would like to flash new rom to it via sd. unfortunately, in australia, this device is very rare. i have never met any1 else with one, so getting one is impossible.

if there is any other way to do this, i would greatly appreciate it.

thanx
