Flashing A Custom Rom Via Bluetooth

[drae54]

Is it possible to flash a custom rom via bluetooth because thats the only way I can sync my phone to active sync

I highly doubt that it can be done, and if it were possible, there is a huge risk in flashing a ROM with an unstable wireless connection. You don't have any USB connections on your computer?

why not flash it via SD card??

Correct, it's not possible indeed. Have a look.

I do but my laptop doesnt recognize my phone at all so I sync through bluetooth.

Uncheck start>settings>connections>usb to pc.

It would be a disaster to do it over bluetooth...think about it. BT is only active in windows.

You can put it in boot loader mode and then flash--no active sync needed or you can use the sd card method which is the safest way to flash. Make sure you have hard spl on your phone first.

Do I absolutely have to unlock SIM & CID?

Not to flash a ROM; you just have to have hardspl to flash one.

So all I have to do is hardspl my device to add a custom rom?

 

[Travito]

yes but certain ROMs require SuperCID, so we recommend doing that. Follow the newbie guides on how.

Aight. Thanx a lot for your help.

Make sure you have Activesync / Mobile Device Center started for your phone to be recognized

Flashing via Bluetooth?

You can use bluetooth to transfer the needed files to SD, then flash from SD.

I have no working USB. But instead of bluetooth, I used sneakernet, and put the files for kaiserdiag.nbh (cmonex's kaisdiagSD) and kaiserimg.nbk to affect a flash of hardSPL onto my SD card and moved the card to my Kaiser.

Then I reset into bootloader mode using cmonex's kaisdiagSD. (Just for the hardSPL flash)

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683

It worked. I now have hardSPL. I think you can do the same if you will load up your SD card via a bluetooth connection and keep your battery at 50% or better.

Now I think I can just use hardSPL to flash a custom ROM from SD.

Keep the battery charged!!!
