View Full Version : Help with restoring old ROM with NO ACTIVESYNC

I cannot connect my device to the computer with activesync. Therefore I cannot explore to drop files onto the device as well as get any ROM/Flash program to work since it will not detect any device connected. Anyone have any suggestions on how I would go about doing this if I cannot connect the device to the computer?
If I do a hard reset to restore factory defaults... it will no longer do that since a new ROM is flashed onto the device, right?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

why don't you flash a new ROM from the SD card? Or don't you have one? But I think its not the ROMs problem rather than a problem of active sync...Reinstall active sync use registry clean up etc soft reset phone and then try to connect them...

if you hard reset, it'll effectively reflash the new rom.
and sometimes, roms dont work with activesync after flashing. try reinstalling activesync

I agree with fzzyrn; try hard reset (hold both softkey's down and push the reset button; a screen will apear which asks you to confirm hard-reset by pushing the "call" button). When this doesn't work try to flash from SD card.
This is how:
MAKE SURE THE HERALD IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE STARTING THE PROCES
#01 Download your original RUU / RUU of choice
#02 Download (if not yet installed) WinRar and install
#03 Copy (when needed) your full sd micro card to your harddisk and format your card with FAT 32, this can be done by using the format option under the right click in Windows Explorer
#04 Rightclick the downloaded exe file with your original RUU, click Unpack here
#05 In the map the will be created you will find a file (or similar) called RUU_signed.nbh. Copy this file to your formated sd microcard.
#06 Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh
#07 Get your Herald into bootloader modus by pressing the comm manager button and the camera button and pressing the reset button at the same time. Do not release both buttons until your in bootloader.
#08 Once in bootloader pop in your sd micro card.
#09 As soon as your card is popped in the screen will say something like "Reading SD card". Wait till it says "Push button to start" and slide the indicated volume slider down.
#10 The Herald will start the flashing proces. Be patient untill it says "Press any button" and hit the send button.
#11 Perform a hard reset
#12 Voila! Your back in business
PM me if you run into problems.

If you connect your phone to USB and go into bootloader mode ... you should be able to run the RUU and it will install.
