[Q] update utility problems, help a noob please, - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi!
i am currently using an HTC HD2- ROM version: 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
as you can see i have made no changes to the software since i got it.
i have tried to load in a new radio and a new rom- Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and
Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V3.0_FINAL... but when i go to load them usoing the update utility i get the message in the image.
thanks, harry.

Hi
From the looks of it, the filename might be incorrect or in the wrong location.
First, put the update utility file(s) in a folder along with the radio file that you want to use. Rename the radio file to ruu_signed.nbh (exactly like that). The try run the update - it should work.
If you follow the above instructions for your ROM file (Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V3.0_FINAL... ) then that should work too! Make sure you rename it as I have said above.
PS you can only update the Radio OR the ROM not both at the same time (as far as I know), so do one after the other.

Thanks for your reply. i done what you said, but am now getting "ERROR [238] : file read" :S
any ideas?
thanks, harry

Couple of things here
1) did you hardspl the deivce yet?
2) did you try and mount the files with a cd image mounter?
If you haven't done 1 then you can't flash anything that isn't a stock rom and if you did 2 you'll probably want to redownload the files. Also ensure that the path to the file doesn't exceed 256 characters. Some programs still have issues with really long file names

in post 1 that long filename, you didn't show the file extension, you are unzipping the downloaded file? (assuming it comes zipped, most do, zip, rar, 7z file extensions all need unpacking.
you shouldn't actually need to rename the file ruu signed, and you can't have two rom/radio .nbh files in the same folder.

Start with your phone off, hold the volume down Button and power the phone on. If the multi colored screen says HSPL on it, you should be able to flash just fine.

IPL/SPL question.

How can I know if any ROM have or not IPL/SPL, and if its safe for G4 CID-lock phones?
Sorry if is an existing thread (I didn't found this question) and so sorry my terrible english.
Normally it will be mentioned in the rom release thread, however you can also check by pulling nk.nbf apart using typho5 then reassembling it and flashing.

How do you strip the nk.nbf of the ipl/spl? Do you use shelltool? Thanks
And when a ROM comes in a .exe file, how can I know?

Extract the exe to get nk.nbf, then extract nk.nbf to check if it contains IPL/SPL.

Look for a program called 'typho5'. This is what you use to unpack nk.nbf
And how I extract the .exe without star the update process?
i have a easy way for you
download wizard service tools
open it....and click on "check nbf"
select read rom
and see what you have inside =]

Cannot Copy ROM Files

Okay, I'm trying to pull out the new IE files from WM6.1 on my startrek, but it won't let me. I superCID unlocked and app unlocked, even redid it after flashing, still no good.
No matter what, when I try to copy "iexplore.exe" or "browser.dll" or any other file that is in ROM, I get access is denied.
Any thoughts on how I can get these out? Or if you know how to pull them right from the rom file, which I tried but failed at...

You can use this program to dump the rom in the folder on storage card. Remove cab extention, put it there and run it.

Όχι, το ποστ αφορά. Μπήκε 2 φορές.
IE files from WM6.1. There are some hidden files in archive.
Rename ie61.zip to ie6.7z (or open by WinRAR)
Thanks Erofich! I tried copying them to my blackjack ii though, and wound up having to hard reset
Running the exe just from the folder though, doesn't have the zoom out feature. I'm not sure if it's running the wrong exe or something else is going on....

Help with DCD

The file for sd card flashing a rom says it should be TITAIMG.nbh, why when i download just the rom is it dcd_titan_3.2.6.exe. I'm trying to load my phone up with 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50, so far I have updated my bootloader to 2.47 and updated the radio, but now it is just stuck at the verizon screen everytime i load and the bootloader is not dectecting the .exe file.
You must RUN the exe. It will unpack a file called RUU_Signed.nbh or something (just look, you'll see it along with the rest of the stuff, just close the program when it opens). Rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and put it at the root of ur card.

If you have WinRAR or Winzip.... Right click on the EXE on the computer... extract the files.
In the extracted files list... find Ruu_signed.nbh.
Rename Ruu_signed.nbh > TITAIMG.nbh
Copy this file to the MicroSD card.. then get into bootloader.

You can do that as well. Either way, try it and let us know how it goes.
Ahhh, I thought it was an executeable lol. Ok well anyways, i just went ahead and ran the kitchen utility and had it make one for me and renamed it, just now booting into windows 6.1 for the first time. One question, since i had the kitchen build the rom for me and i just used what was already checked as far as features and added no additional ones, is that gonna be identical to the rom i would get from extracting this .exe file?

Yup, just don't forget to run your carrier cab when done.

Since you r on verizon, you may have to get a new A-Key if this is the first time you flashed ur phone.

Congrats on getting it up and running
The mode 4 was a joke regarding one of the other threads in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423231) which, incidentally, is where I would point you for GPS issues. Basically, you will need to get your phone into Service Programming mode via QPST and change some settings for the gpsOne chip. I say read through the thread (ignore some of the ehh....how should i put this....disagreements) and come come up with your own conclusion as to what the mode 4 issue is and what you need to do. Basically, If one doesn't work for you, try the other

[REQ/Q] Rogers Call Display. How to cook a dll file into a ROM?

Hi all, I'm trying to make Fido Call Display to work on my Device, and I found the solution here. However the solution requires me to cook the rilphone.dll file into the ROM that I'm using (NAFT's v2.3). I've never cooked a ROM before and I'm far from understanding the procedure, but I don't think it's that hard to add a file in a cooked ROM. Can you guys help me out with this?
Please show me how to add/replace rilphone.dll in NAFT's v2.3 ROM. Thank you.

Yes, the reason my method does not work is because the rilphone.dll is not signed with a trusted certificate as I stated..
Pretty much leaves the only option as cooking it in, unless you are already using a ROM with a modified nk.exe in XIP to disable certificate checking.. then you can just drag and drop rilphone.dll and reboot.. but since stock ROMs are not modified in such a way, you cook it in, as all files cooked into ROM are trusted..
Unfortunatly there is no way to modify XIP without cooking either.
If a ROM is unprotected (still has it's rgu's) - download a ROM kitchen for your device.. extract the rom of your choice.. replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers.. then re-assemble the ROM.. no registry manipulation needed.
For the raphael ROM kitchen, name your ROM "RUU_Signed.nbh", put it in \BaseROM
Run RaphaelKitchen.bat
select "e" for extract, then "a" for "From RUU_Signed.nbh"
let it go through its motions, when it's done replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers
again in RaphaelKitchen.bat select "cf" then "b"
click "BuildOS" tab
click "Load ROM" button
navigate to RaphaelKitcken folder (has subfolders OEM, ROM, SYS, etc), press ok
click green "Go" button
when done, close the window
again the kitchen will go through some motions, when it pops up XVI32 and says "Page Pool Changer" in the command prompt window simply close xvi32
now it should prompt to flash to your device.. and you're done

Ya, I tried it with NAFT's v2.3, but it seems that the file is protected... the file can't be read.
I'm not sure I understand, you tried to cook the file into ROM and it gave you an error about it being protected? Or do you mean you tried to copy the file to the device, and it wouldn't let you overwrite? If that's the case that's why I suggest renaming rilphone.dll to rilphone2.dll before you copy to device, and then change the registry to point to that.. that way you don't have to overwrite the file that's already on the device.

i tried what you told me to do on the other post; Rename the file, and extract it... I have no problem renaming the file, but when I tried to extract it with Raphael Kitchen, I got error like "Cannot read the file" or something like that... here is the dump log

Nothing was extract.
hmm, sounds like the ROM kitchen is having a problem handing the .nbh you fed it, try it with a stock nbh and see if it works..
the rom you are trying to extract may be protected from extraction.
Just to make sure, you are trying to extract the ruu_shipped.nbh in \baserom.. which is the ROM image, somewhere in the range of 50 to 200mb large..

I redownload the Rom and it seems to work now. I can finally extract it.
As for the rilphone.dll... do you have the right one for Rogers Display? and the one that will work for Fido as well?
edit: I successfully reflashed my ROM, but the display thing doesn't work. Beside replacing rilphone.dll is there any reg I need to change? (can you give me the right rilphone.dll file?
I got the rilphone.dll file here
Sucessfully cooked in NaFT's v3.1, however it still doesn't work. It always show unknown Caller.
any help here would be much appreciated

[Q] Anyone else having problems with the downgrade RUU for Rooting?

Can't post in the Dev section yet. That's what I get for trolling around since you guys showed me how to root my OG Droid. Thanks, btw.
Now, I'm trying to root my Tbolt, and when I click on the downgrade RUU file to see the contents it says the file is invalid. So, then I tried to extract it, to see what would happen, but same message.
I also downloaded the exploits.zip and the final PG05IMG.zip and was able to view both their contents. Plus, I had to extract the exploits file to the SDK directory, and it worked fine.
So, I then downloaded from all three mirrors, but same result. And then I went to the rom.galaxysense.com site and downloaded from there, but same result. Am I the only one having retarditis? Is the file jacked, or just run-of-the-mill incompetence on my part???
Thanks to whomever takes the time to help out. And thanks for all the help everyone puts out there for the rest of us.
I am confused by your massive amount of words in this post. You need to say maybe, 20 things total.
First, you don't need to open anything, you simply need to put the ZIP onto your SD card and reboot into Hboot.
The only ZIP you need to unzip is the exploit.zip.
I don't need to extract them, I get that. I was looking in the zip files out of curiosity, but when the one file said it was an invalid file type I didn't want to put it on my SD card. That's closer to 20 words, hope that makes sense.

haha, I was feeling like being a smart ass. The RUU needs to be renamed to PG05IMG.ZIP and put on the sd card, then you need to reboot into bootloader.
Also to add, I came into the problem where I renamed to PG05IMG.zip It was already zipped so just had to name it PG05IMG Then it worked for me.
Thanks for the help. I guess no one understood what I was saying, but since no one else has mentioned the file being corrupted I guess I'll use it and hope for the best.
That's why I mentioned that the other two zip files would let me look at their contents, but the third one said invalid file type. I thought it was clear, but my bad...
Either way, here's another post towards getting out of noob post restrictions!

I'm pretty sure that the RUU downgrade is not something you can open. Just make sure the checksum is valid and you're good to go.
I had tried to flash the RUU after I first rooted becuase I was having location issues. It would check the PG05IMG.ZIP and go back to the Hboot screen. I had flashed another rom so I didn't mess with it any further.

Finally! I've been looking through threads forever in search of this very issue. I was all set on rooting last night, and just like you, the Mecha_RUU file wouldn't unzip, said it was invalid, etc. I stopped right there out of fear that I'd get burned pressing on with one of the key files "broken." Have you rooted since with no trouble?
The best thing to always do is get an MD5 sum for the file and compare it to the root post. I have rooted my thunderbolt twice now and never had a problem.
If the md5sum is correct then you should be fine. Also remember in Windows, it hides the extensions. So when you rename your files do not add the extension as it is already there.
You can show the extensions by changing the folder settings.
Downgrade wont flash
1) Power down phone
2) Power up phone holding volume down
3)No option to upgrade just starts checking files
4) Third check is the downgrade file, starts loading
5) Fails because the file is Older than the main
Ive seen other threads touch on this but no one answer it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Also I have already updated to the 7/8/11 OTA.

I appreciate the thread link. That's exactly the error I'm getting. Problem is I'm supposed to downgrade to obtain root ( or at least that's one of the steps). I have downloaded this downgrade file from multiple links and verified its the correct one to use in this step and I always receive the "main version higher" issue. Should I be using a different file to downgrade or is this no longer an option for root since the 7/8/11 ota?

Interesting..
I wiped everything ADB and Thunderbolt related from my PC.
Then I downloaded the easy root from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292&highlight=easyroot
Then I downloaded and opened the pdf instructions on the same page.
Then I followed the written directions to a T!
Worked like a charm. Steps 1, 2, and 3 hung up and had to be done multiple times but I finally got through it. Some other links if found with this same method were misleading as to doing the steps over again but he accounted for this in his pdf instructions and if you follow it to the letter you should be good.
