Step II:

1) Create 2 folders eg:flash and rom.
2) Extract flash centre.rar in flash folder
3) Extract HTC_P4350.... ship.exe in rom folder .
( Use winrar or simply double click the file. It will start the upgrade window ,click next, then hold.Go to the temp folder, u will find all the extracted content there.Copy all the content to the new rom folder. After that cancel the upgrade window.)

4)After extracting the content in the rom folder ,*****delete the SPL.nbh file ****

Step III:

Connect your phone to the computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)

Step IV

1)Open the flash folder --- follow the read me file in this folder
ie

2)Run herald-uspl.exe on your computer and follow the instructions on screen.
- it will run in command window and ask u to enter the values..follow the screen

After 2/3 steps if will ask u to chk the device-- the activesync green icon in ur computer will become grey and the screen of ur mobile will be blank-white.

!!! now u have sucessfully hard spl ur device!!!

**** dont touch or remove the connection or close any program****

3)After this it will start the RUU program ,follow the instruction ,click update ( u wont find any previous ROM installed),it may or will show ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
clik finish/cancel and exit **this program only**.


4)Now without removing anything open the rom folder and clik the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the instruction.

thats it. ur mobile will be upgraded. dont get panic...it will take some time and the mobile will be white in colour.

Thanks

Hey jose, I have a C800 with the exact same specifications as your phone that you ugraded. I tried upgrading it to WM6 with your given instructions and download links.

Now my phone is dead duting the step 4 you mentioned : i cannot even flash the RUU <mentioned in your google search reference>. I get Error 300 which means that I am not flashing the right RUU for my model.

PLEASE help me/guide me to a link which has a usable RUU for my phone.


All the recovery methods I can find on the site are for IPL/SPLs beyond 4.000.000

Please help me to upgrade my phone - or atleast restore it to its previous status and save it.
