Please don't flame. I've tried using the search feature to answer my questions, but I can't find the information that I'm looking for.

I'm trying to flash: Touch-IT wm6.1 19199.1.0.0 - ITsBlack to my TMo Wing. I'm following the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358615. Only I'm stuck and confused. The guide says:

Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder. What the heck is an NBH file and where do I find it?

The guide then says: Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
. What is flightmode?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, I'm a total noob at this, but I swear I tried using the search feature for about 30 mins to find the answer.

1) An NBH file is a flash file. It contains a portion, or all of a ROM. Meaning, it may include a radio rom and a system rom; or one or the other. You use it with the RUU (ROM Update Utility). The NBH is the ROM itself, the RUU is the Windows program used to load the ROM to the device.

2) Flight mode is simply all radio off mode aka airplane mode. Meaning your cellular radio, your wifi radio, your gps (if builtin), etc are all off.


This sub-forum is for the HTC Wings (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wings), not the Tmobile Wing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=348). Please refer to that forum, or the Upgrading, Modifying, and Unlocking (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259) subforum with further questions.


P.S.

Unless it's been tested, I'd be hesitant to flash a Touch image to a T-Mobile Wing, since it's not an HTC Touch, unless you've heard it works or have an official RUU package (official NBH) to flash back to, and have run the HardSPL build for the T-Mobile Wing (so that your boot doesn't get screwed). :)
