Downloading Sprint's New Rom For Mogul...STUCK

[danpazich3]

So after having my Mogul for quite sometime, I figured it was time to upgrade the ROM which includes the GPS, etc etc. I followed all the instructions to the "t" and when I go to update it, the phone goes to the tri-color and says "USB" at the bottom...but on my computer, it stays stuck at 0%.

I've left it go for almost 30 minutes. I end up having to shut down the update and reboot my phone. Luckily my phone wasn't affected at all. (whew!) I've tried this three times and all end up being stuck. :(

I'm new to all this, so ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched for this same occurrence but have not read about any resolutions to the problem.

Thanks for any help!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Right now I have ROM version: 2.09651.3

I have downloaded a ROM for the Quest 'version' of the Mogul which is 3.35.656.2....will this work?

I dont get why it wont update and install the ROM.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

what version of bootloader are you using?

if its not giving you an error try letting it go overnight. Maybe its just going REAL slow.

Other than that, try one of the intermediate ROMs first, or try re-downloading the ROM and going from that.

The process is pretty simple, sync, backup anything important, establish activesync/MWDC connection, run the RUU, press yes several times, restore backup/resync.

Did you ever unlock the phone? The sprint ROMs wont load with an unlocked phone, AFAIK.

not sure what you mean by version of bootloader....

As far as running reall slow, not sure, I might try that if nothing else works.

I'm going to try the 3.35 ROM and see if that works. So stupid that it is such an easy task, yet it doesnt work....and I never "unlocked" the phone...its basically factory straight from Sprint. Again, it was bought back in December 2007 so the ROM on it is pretty 'dated'

I'll let ya know what happens...

2.09... lol.

that rom was slooow. screen flickered.
lockups.

your problem is that you cannot use a rom from a different carrier unless you unlock first. Just get the latest sprint rom and flash it.

edit: perhaps i read your post wrong. do you have the sprint or qwest rom? the qwest rom will not work. the sprint rom should work fine providing the phone has not been unlocked with olipro 1.2. Check the bootloader version when in the tri color screen. if it says olipro 1.2 then you need to update to 2.4.

If it's stock then you should be good. you could try putting the phone into bootloader before running the ruu. sometimes this helps the connection since it doesn't mess with activsync. to get to bootloader hold power + camera and hit the reset button.
