Hi,
Here are steps I took:
Attempt #1
1) Extracted 0.82.605 .rar file
2) Removed the RUU_Signed.nbh from folder
3) ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe
4) Thereby flashing only SPL_signed.nbh from 0.82.605
5) Result = unsuccessfull - ERROR [226] : FLASH WRITE ERROR just after 100%
please check this file then.
Attempt #2
1) Extracted 0.82.605 .rar file
2) Removed the SPL_signed.nbh from folder
3) ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe
4) Thereby flashing only RUU_Signed.nbh from 0.82.605
5) Result = unsuccessfull - ERROR [226] : FLASH WRITE ERROR @ 12%
Attempt #3
1) Installed 1.03.605
2) Upon first boot, shows Windows Phone boot screen for long time, then shows default tiles
3) Attempt to use applications like 'calculator' etc, phone does nothing and returns to applications list, same with 'settings' etc.
4) After some time, Phone automatically reboots
5) Upon looking at the application list Slacker, Netflix etc apps are shown as installed. Applications work etc 'settings', 'calculator' etc.
6) Looking at email accounts section, a fake hotmail email address is shown, the 'me' section shows a photo of a male, 'people' section shows fake people.
7) When phone is idle Verizon/HTC screensaver, fake emails, fake text messages, fake calendar dates are shown when using phone.
Seems like a demo rom to me. Even if i shut the phone down before the first auto-reboot, it installes the demo information at some point anyway.
Attempt to upgrade to Mango takes me to 7401, then upon 7661 update, Zune states there is not enough room on the phone. Attempts to change the 'reserved space' settings have no affect. tried this update 10 times.
Are you too at a loss?
Stuck. Please advise. Unusable phone.
Should I send back for warranty?
