[P3600 Software Upgrading] wizzkidd:
Hi everyone,

First and foremost, let me introduce myself, I am known as wizzkidd (a name that often is used against me at times like these). Aged 27 from London, UK. I'm a typical mod-freak, modding anything and everything possible from PSP's to Wii's to Cable TV etc etc.

Anyway, I've got a SPV M700 (aka HTC P3600) branded on Orange UK running Windows Mobile 5, and everthing works fine. I found this wonderful site when I was researching into the amazing additions and power of Windows Mobile 6.

To my amazement, I soon realised it would be possible to upgrade to WM6, so off I went reading through the forum....

To start with I realised I needed to perform a CID Unlock (and whilst at it, I done the SIM Unlock too) before I could proceed. I done this perfectly fine.

I then found the first ROM that looked impressive as it was based on WM6 and had a bundle of goodies baked within it. (im learning the terminology too, hehe), it was a PDAViet ROM (latest to date)... I followed the instructions and hey presto, my phone was a fancy WM6 version with loads of impressive goodies installed.

After search for more stuff here, I found loads of interesting stuff. But firstly I decided to install the Hard-SPL into my phone for my own protection when doing future ROM flashes.

What caught my eye was the Touch Flo stuff, so I wanted it. Searching through the threads and the progress in development, I soon found a Wizard ROM that includes Touch Flo, and based on user suggestions and feedback, I decided to go for NBD v7.4.

My problem:

- (currently running PDAViet ROM: 02.07.06.PV and have Hard-SPL integrated)

- I double click on the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"

- I tick the "I understand...." and the "I Completed the steps..." boxes

- (the USB cable is connected and ActiveSync 4.5 detects the connection fine)

"Verifying the information on your PDS Phone..." displays for about 4 seconds...

The RUU displays the current information about my phones image, and has a "Update" button to click to update the current ROM version, so I click it...

The RUU displays some verify checks such as

FROM

model ID: ""

image version: "02.07.06.PV"

Language: ""

TO

model ID: "Wizard"

Image Version: ""

Language: "WWE"

I click next twice... the phone boots into the Hard bootloader (SPL-1.20.Olipro) and the USB connection disconects and then reconnects at this point (i can tell this by the audio sounds), the RUU displays the progress bar at 0% and nothing happens, the screen on the M700 stays on the bootloader screen, and the RUU stays on 0% - this lasts for about 15 seconds, then the RUU says "ERROR [264]: CONNECTION, and gives me the option of clicking the "Recovery" button, doing so, and following the instructions, leads to a final message saying: "Error recovery has been successful and the update process is ready to resume. Exit recovery and run the RUU again."... I try running the RUU again, and im back to sqyare one again!

I've even tried using the Soft-SSL (by Des), but the progess bar stays at 0% and the bootloader stays on the screen.

What could be wrong?

PS Thanks for reading and thanks for your patience if you've got this far. lol
