[Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs)

Jrvelandia · Dec 4, 2008

Yea great job mskip I'm reading through the tutorial once before deciding to leap I love my phone the way it is right now and the fact that it's possible to make it better is just brilliant thanks for this tut. I have another question If I flash my phone will I still be able to connect to all the same bands and networks as before? my phone was unlocked before I bought it.

In step 4, flashing the rom, you said to run "Raphael_RUU.exe". Did you mean run the customRUU? If not, then where do I find the Raphael_RUU.exe?

Thanks.

When you unzip/unrar the ROM, there'll be 2 files in the folder. Raphael_RUU.exe is one of them. that's the one you run to do the flash. It's nothing to do with customRUU.

Flashing the phone wont affect any connectivity you will still be able to connect to the same bands and networks after you HardSPL and flash a new Rom

After you Unzip/UnRar the downloaded Rom just run the .exe that is included with the .nbh Rom file.

Do all roms come with the .exe? And what do you use customRUU for then?

Thank You Mskip

Thanks to your excellent guide I just flashed my FUZE to Natfs 2.2 rom. What a difference, has H and all. My first flash!!! Just one thing to the other newbies out there. When you are getting ready to flash your rom via active sync make sure that you turn off your virus protection. Once I did that everything worked flawlessly. Remember to turn it back on though when you are done.

Thanks you Mskip.

Since you just flashed your first ROM, can you tell me (or can anyone) where you get Rapheal_RUU.exe??? When I download NATF's Rom it only came with CustomRUU.exe. Is custonRUU what I run in the folder with the ROM? or where do I find Rapheal_RUU?

Thanks.

As stated in my guide RUU stands for Rom Update Utility and is needed to flash the Rom (.nbh) to the phone. All Roms should come with with RUU but if they dont then you can use the one thats given in my guide to flash Roms or Radios.

They are the same file its just been renamed

So customRUU is RaphealRUU??? They are one in the same, just a different name?

If you downloaded Natf 2.2 rom and extract it with winrar it should be the first file on top when you open the folder. It should be named "CustomRUU" with a picture of a fuze to the left

Ok, thank you so much. I had downloaded NATF's rom and saw the CustomRUU but got nervous because in this flashing guide it talked about rapheal_RUU not CustomRUU and I didn't want to use the wrong thing and mess up my first flash.

Thanks again.

ATT FUZE on tmobile

I am about to buy an att fuze but my network is tmobile.
My question is

1. are there any roms that dont have all the att specific stuff on them.

2. since the htc touch pro is the same as the att fuze could i use the stock htc touch pro rom on the fuze so i would not have all the att atomization and if so where do i find the stock touch pro rom?

Thanks mskip & you other guys for the tips on flashing.
I didnt know a hard reset was needed when the 'screen alignment' screen appears after ROM update & reboot.

However i have an issue here. I have downloaded 2 ROMs from the Raphael ROM dev page (Version 1.66.405.1 WWE & 1.90.405.1 WWE) along with radios. But none of these are zipped folders for extraction as you say. They are exe. files.
Am I doing somthing wrong?

No you arent doing anything wrong lol the Stock Roms are usually self extracting Roms that will unpack and flash when you double click on the .exe file. Just run it and follow the instructions and you should be fine

can someone please help me with my previous question?

Try looking in the Wiki it has pretty much everything you need. And learn to search as its a neccessary tool to get by in XDA.

A simple read through the Wiki and I found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs

It should have a Rom that suits your needs

DBayPlaya2k3 · Dec 5, 2008

thanks for your help

DBayPlaya2k3 · Dec 5, 2008

I found that as well i did actully read the wiki i just did not know if i could use any of the roms on that page or only specific ones. My end goal is the get the htc fuze to have the htc touch rom and i didnt know if the rom was specific to the rom or cid that i would have.
