This is also hidden somewhere in a thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread. We (G4 owners) don't need to flash all our roms in Italian language. In stead of copying all the Update Utility files just copy "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and it will stay in English.
So if you get this error on you're G4:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Just replace the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"! (I'll attach it too)
If you want to turn an already Italian installer into English replace all the files from "English Update Utility Files G4.zip".
Great! Thanks a lot for these! Hepled me a lot
Guess it should be a sticky, as not many people know where to find these things.
I've tried ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe but keep getting
"Error 208: File Open.
The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update utility".
Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?
maybe you're not with the utility and the nk.nbf in the same folder(all in the root of the folder).
Thank you so much...this just saved my otherwise bricked phone!
thx worked perfect in flashing the radio rom on my g4 to 2.19 uk!
I can't figure out how to upgrade my rom. I keep getting the dreaded Error 300.
Can somebody provide instructions on how to run this?
How?
How do I do this?
What should I replace?
Where should I put the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" file?
I just normally run the updateroom from a folder on my laptop, so where should I place "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"?
I am attemping to flash Superrom

If the rom is one exe file, unpack it first with winrar. You'll see the file afterwards.
Yes I knows it becomes a exe file after I have zipped it.
Ok here it goes:
I run a normal ROM update exe file, I get the
"ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility"
Then what shall I do with the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe " if I just run this one the message: ""Error 208: File Open."
Can someone set up a step by step guide please?
Seems you haven't upacked the rom executable. You should have multiple files afterwards (e.g. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and nk.nbf). Just replace the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe! The file error tells it can't find your nk.nbf.
Damnnnnn Vippie Rocks!!!!!!!
How to do it ..
is it just click and run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID .. and the application will do all .. or we just need to but all stuff in unpack flash ( any flash ) and install it to firmware ??
thanks allot in advanced
help still not working
I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300
Thanks Wes

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.
If you were to create a folder then extract the utility to that folder, then click on the extracted file, then for sure you will get the error msg.
Download first the ROM you want in a folder, All New ROMs will extract to two files. One of those files is the rom update utility file that you will need to replace with the Update Utility exe file in this post. To do this just extract the update utility tool ( posted here ) in the same folder of the downloaded and extracted ROM folder. You will then be up and running. Follow the instructions.
To follow up with my previous post, I would suggest you start with the 'Wizard_Love rom or the Button Rom as basis. This will reset your download prompts on your device to accept any Wizard compatible ROM of your choice. After the first update most likely you will not need this utility to update your favorite rom onto your device.

And even than it wouldn't brick the device. So your "no" should be "yes, you're right vippie"!
Did you notice the "developers" in the websites name? What are people doing on this forum if they don't know how to REPLACE a file. It isn't necessary to spoon-feed people.
Hi All,
I seem to remember there being a guide to decrypting roms for the x10.
I've saved a backup of my oz optus firmware from pc companion and was hoping to make an unecrypted version of it to be used with flashtool.
I've tried searching and I simply cannot find the guide to unencrypt (That's if memory serves me correctly and it even exists.)
Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Cheers

This link might should be what your looking for - title has changed a few times
Does anyone know how to do it tho? I downloaded the "tool to partially decrypt" but it doesn't show any instructions or anything.. Just a bunch of files..
That tool won't decrypt the ROM. I will decrypt it soon (read: when I get access to my external HDD).
With that said lollylost, Do you need me to upload the two files somewhere?
Main reason I wanted to decrypt it was to extract the optus my account apk as its not available on either the market or the optus.com.au website.
And yeah i'd allready downloaded the decompression tools. Lollylost, have you got some sort of application or even a guide on how to decrypt the firmwares?
Would be nice if you could upload the firmware since all my firmwares are on the inaccessible HDD.
Hey guys, maybe u can help me...

Reflashing has been covered before but since I had trouble with it I feel for you so i'll post my lil guide
Hopefully its allowable to link to file on other sites (If not can a mod feel free to edit this post and I'll create a pdf guide if thats okay).
EDIT: Turns out as a new user I can't link to external sites and services. With that in mind if you do a google search for "download SEUS" and scroll down till you see the sony ericcson site, you should be okay.
Step 1
Download SEUS if you dont allready have it (NOT pcCompanion that a different program)
Step 2
Using SEUS, run your phone through a repair. That means let SEUS download firmware and install it to your phone.
Step3
When using SEUS the db folder will be in C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs
Find the two largest files in that folder select it so its highlighted & press F2 on the keyboard to rename the file. The filename will now be highlighted. Press <Ctrl> + <C> to copy the file name to your clipboard, press <ESC> to cancel the rename.
Now that you have copied the Filename to your clipboard, locate where you saved your original firmware files and highlight the largest one. Press <F2> again and this time press <Ctrl> + <V> . This will paste the new filename onto your firmware.
Do the same for the second largest file.
Step 4
With the file rename complete, you can now copy the two files you just rename into your C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\YOURIMEINUMBERGOESHERE\blob_fs folder.
Step 5
Run through the repair again with SEUS however this time when SEUS says its downloading it will take a matter of seconds and then flash your original firmware back onto your phone.
Step 6
ALL DONE Enjoy your original firmware.
Lollylost: I tried to upload files and it crapped out about 50% of the way through.
I did notice that there was once an SEUS plugin that you had uploaded to hotfile that did the decrypt on the fly, is it still possible to get this plugin so i can finally extract the my account.apk and get on with rooting my phone?
Cheers

Uploaded
LollyLost: I've uploaded the firmware for you it's here: http://www.multiupload.com/RAOCA34155
If you could do me a favour and extract the my account application on there so I can root and put back the usage counter would be great.
Cheers

I wanted to flash the WM7.5 Mango for my Toshiba TG01 ,I reached the white screen but the following error appeared,"SD Downloading failed,File open Error"
Help?
Try to re'download the rom
Maybe the file was corrupt
--------------------------------------------
Sent from my GT-S5830 running ImaGinary ICS.
Thank if it helped.It's there for a reason
Please help me!
Hi everyone! Recently I got this Thosiba tg01 and wanted to change from wm6.5 to 7 or to some cooked rom.
What I tried:
SDDL method: SD Downloading Failed - File Open Error
Pin method: Same error.
Tried 4 roms, all gave me the same error.
Is there a way to flash rom from pc or from the phone itself. Please help me I just can't stand WM6,5. If not, i'll sell my device.
Half a year on I still get the same problem,can't seem to find a solution
Seems like I will never get a solution then
the sd card must be formated and must contain Only "PRG" folder, inside folder put sddl and .bin file 0321 version !
Hello there,
Just to clarify:
- the uSD Card must be formatted.
- sddl+.exe must be in the ROOT of the card.
- the TGO01xxxx.tsw ROM image file must be in the \prg folder.
- execute sddl+.exe from file explorer and it will then flash the ROM.
Hope that helps It's actually very straightforward and reliable.
The 'short pin' method is primarily used if you happen to have a 'half-bricked' device and are unable to boot to start with.
Regards,
Kevin
Any developer here that know a tool that can execute those ROM zip files on a PC so I just can play around on the PC without hazzling with the cellphone so much ?
PM for answer or something.:good:
try androuid_sdk_r12 windows.
you can find it online.
TY !
The Zip file from XDA-developers.com
Ok let's see if I download a ROM from here. A ZIP file where do I launch it in ANDROID SDK ? I think I downloaded android sdk r20.
Anyone help ? Is it where it says SD card size ?

Lol, its not that easy the way u think ma8
after installing the sdk u need to create an AVD( Android virtual device) either using 'Ecllipse' or by Command lines.
check the link below to understand more about the same
http://developer.android.com/tools/workflow/index.html
Thank you I will check that one out It is only to see how the different ROMS look like instead of flashing them to cellphone.
