You have missed the most important part:

The package you download from this guide does NOT include a os.nb nor a nk.nbf file! It contains ONLY the tools to rebuild an oldfashioned os.nb file to the modern nk.nbf ile. It helps you when you want to include an extROM part when upgrading, and it provides the RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) itself.

Without a proper nk.nbf file in the same folder, the RUU can't upgrade your evice. there is no new OS present! So it will quit with the message you described.

What should you do, step-by-step:

* Step 1: Download the package from the first post of this thread.

* Step 2: Apply HardSPL, you gonna need it later when you use the RUU, and if not it won't bother. Check if your SPL has changed to 2.G4.4PDA. If not HardSPL is not installed. (this check can be done by restarting your device, the info shows in the second startup-screen).

* Now your device is ready to upgrade, but you still haven't a WM6 ROM. these ROM's are posted is seperate threads in this section of the forum. So, look around a bit and choose the ROM that suits you best.

* If you made your choice, dowload that ROM from the link in that dedicated thread.

* Now it gets tricky:

If it is an "traditional" upgrade package, you don't need the "Step1", "PDAViet", "WM5NVID" or any file other besides the ROM upgrade itself. This package contains among a few other files the "os.nb". This is the actual WM6 upgrade,. Besides that, most ROM's of this kind have an extROM folder with essential and additional files. These two parts are necessary to upgrade your device. Note: if there isn't an extROM folder, you won't need it. Don't use any other files from the package, they are only there to perform the traditional upgrade method, wich you're not going to do.

* To use the OS and the extROM folder with the RUU, you have to combine them to one nk.nbf file.

To do so, you first convert the extROM folder to a extended_rom.nb, as described in step 3 of this guide.

Now you combine the two .nb files to one nk.nbf file. How to do that is decribed in step 4.

* If your choice has fallen on a "new style"upgrade pakage, it is a far more simple. The download-link in that dedicated thread will provide you a prefabbed "nk.nbf" file that is flash-ready. So you don't have to convert or combine anything and can skip step 3 and 4.

* In either case you have the needed nk.nbf from your chosen ROM. Now you can flash your Prophet as described in step 5: add the nk.nbf file to the RUU-folder and run the RUU. Follow the onscreen instructions until it ends with "finish".:

As you can read from the above, it is far, far more simple to upgrade with a new-style ROM. There are a few circulating and their number is growing. Besides the simplicity of flashing, the fact that they are based on newer builds of WM6 can be an advantage; many of the early bugs are taken care of.

SUCCES!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
First make sure your PDA is in bootloader (tricolored screen) and the "Allow USBconnection" is DISabled in ActiveSync before you connect your PDA to your PC. Both steps are important!

Second, use a complete WM5NVID RUU package. The error 238 indicates that the nk.nbf file you are using is corrupt or not suited for the RUU you use.

Unfortunally, I am not able to upload an "solid" package, but I did notice someone uploaded a file recently. In fact, every so called Step1 from a traditional ROM upgrade will do. You will find a link in an appropiate thread.

Edit: found one for you: http://rapidshare.com/files/54265407/Prophet_PV_Temp.zip

SUCCES!

3q! :D

I finaly found a ruu and the nb file that works! and i have run my device, the problem was (as you said) a non propered nb, and there are lots of them in links every where and the problem is you dont know whether it is ok unless you use it!

up to now there were no success for me in finding a good wm6( not only a new and good prophet rom nor something just to upgrade to).

I have tried shadow and it didn't work!(my device goes back to rgb screen after upgrading again)

I have 3 q:

1: doing hardspl once is enough for ever? or i have to do it every time I am dealing with up/down grading process?

2: is there an examined wm6 rom for prophets nearby?

3: and when I downloand a pack and it contains a ruu and nbf file and dll etc

(az you said not a traditional upgrade package) what shall I do if I have an old vers of wm5 on my device and have harspl once and don't want to make a nbf file(just use an existing ones is enough for me now!!!:p )?(I seemed to mixed up the old and new method)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
1) If you installed HardSPL PROPERLY, it is there to stay until you install another SPL. This is mostly the case if us run a official vendor RUU or a WM5NVID RUU (Step1, PDViet temp, etc). You can always check if HardSPL is installed by viewing the startupscreen, it SHOULD show: 2.G4.4PDA (or: 2.G3.4PDA if you have a G3 device).

2) I don't know if I understand your question correctly, but if you ask if there will come a official WM6 release for the Prophet, the answer is no. This product is discontinued by HTC and therefore no upgrade will be released.

3) Again I don't understand you question. If you have HardSPL installed (check!) you can run the downloaded RUU with the nbf file the easy way. Just connect your device to your PC with the USB cable and run the RUU from your PC. It will guide you through a few steps before it starts flashing. One step is to put your device in bootloader (tricoloredscreen) you will notice that on your device. Don't do anything. It should change to a gray screen with a progressbar. Finally the RUU on the PC will present you a dialog with a "Finish"button and your device will restart.

NOTE: There is no RUU available to work with VISTA, so o the upgrade from a PC running on XP.

By the way you describe your problem, HardSPL isn't installed properly (if Vista isn't the problem).

I have extracted Crystal V5.1 (Kaiser Edition). I don't need any software from extende_rom.nb. Can I make nk.nbf only with os.nb or I must make nk.nbf with os.nb and with empty extende_rom.nb ?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] varanusvincent:
Some program would be readed from Ext.ROM. Don't delete all the file.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] tempazz:
If I good understant i must make nk.nbf with os.nb and with empty extende_rom.nb ?

Thank You for answer
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] varanusvincent:
you cant use empty extende Rom if, u use OS.nb from Crystall.

HTC Audio Manager would be readed from Ext.ROM.

If the file deleted. You can't use HTC Audio Manager.

Anyway you dont need to make nk.nbf file from Crystal 5.1

It is already nk.nbf file.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] hercule18:
I did it except for the config.text, make it RO save me.

thx for your help.

I have one last problem, i'm unable to change splash screens.

Bye

Herc.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
You shouldn't have extracted the file, it is a nk.nbf already! Just put that one in the same folder as the RUU and run the RUU. You are make things far more complicated as the are.....

If you download a new-style ROM forget about os.nb, about extROM, about Upgrade.bat.... Just make sure HardSPL is applied and put the nk.nbf file in the RUU folder. Run it, your done.

OS.nb

From where can I get os.nb? I did not get it with upgradefile
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] bLusiLv:
one question

i have one question here..

before i do this new upgrade, do i need to downgrade first like the old way or just directly flash the new rom?

rite nw im using pdaviet cross n wanna change it to shadow clean..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
You don't have to downgrade anymore. Just make sure HardSPL is installed right (check your systeminfo at startup: SPL 2.G4.4PDA), place the nk.nbf file you downloaded (with your favorite ROM) together with the RUU and associated files in the same folder, connect your prophet to your PC (wait a while so it can synchronize, if set up so) and finally run the RUU.

Now you will see the same proces as your were used to while downgrading, but now it is the upgrading taking place!

Remember, all the difficult stuff in the guide about the extROM en converting etc. is only applicable when you want to use a old-style ROM with this new-style upgrade method. In your case, don't bother with that (step 3 and 4).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
did you made the files read-only?

from the guide:

...

make all the files read only (Select them, right click , then properties and then read Only) <-------Important!! (Updated)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
The package you can download in this tread are only a collection of utilities that you can use to upgrade in this new-style method. (Step 1 of this guide)

If you want to use the new-style upgrading method, it is essential that the SPL of your Prophet is modified. There are two way to achieve this:

You can run JumpSPL (SoftSPL) on your device each time you want to flash, or

You can install HardSPL once. It stays resident untill you load another SPL. That way you don't have to bother with this SPL-thing evertime you want to flash and the next time you can run the RUU straigh away. In thread the HardSPL installation is described and automated with a bat file. If you want to know about the SPL issue, read the dedicated threads. (Step 2 of this guide)

The actual ROM upgrade you must download from the thread that is dedicated to the ROM of your flavour. (not described in this guide)

(Now it gets tricky)

If your choosen ROM is old-style, the upgrade will contain a os.nb file, which is the actual ROM, possibly together with an extROM-folder. You have to convert both to go get one single nk.nbf file to use with this new-style upgrade method. (Step 3 and 4 of this guide)

If your choosen ROM is already new-style, you dont have to prepare anything and can use it to upgrade right away, as I described 2 posts earlier. (Step 5 of this guide)

i haven't done hardspl on my g3 prophet yet. so quick question, when doing hardspl, it won't change anything in my current rom like when i upgrade spl to 2.20 right?

thanks again guys
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I don't understand your question completely, but this what happens when you install HardSPL:

First you run JumpSPL (SoftSPL) that makes it possible for the RUU to install a new, modified SPL named HardSPL. This piece of software replaces your original SPL (2.xx) wich was installed with the original firmware (ROM). You can verify this after installation, the systeminfo at startup shows: SPL 2.G3.4PDA.

Unlike SoftSPL that load only once, this HardSPL is resident, it stays untill you install another SPL. That will be the case when you flash the original ROM again. So, the change is reversable, you can always go back to the state is use to be.

HardSPL.bat - cerun failed to execute

Hi All,

Am yet another annoying newbie seeking wisdom from what is probably the best forum have ever come across for tech advice and support...

Here's the problem

Have a Prophet G4 (branded as the SPV M600) with

SPL 2.10.0001

IPL 2.10.0001

OS 02.07.20

GSM 2.10.1.22

ExtROM 2.10.1.107

Operator Version: 13.10.1.107

Having read around I've found HardSPL as a means of CID Unlocking, running from a Windows XP 32 bit Dell Laptop, connected using AS 4.5

So today I've had a go and ran the G4 HardSPL.bat and got the below error message in reference to cerun execusion.

Initializing...cerun: failed to execute program <0>

I carried on to the update utility bearing this in mind and found where it attempts to identify setting on your phone (IPL version) there is nothing found (blank space).:confused:

IN the Update screen not only is there no current version highlighted but no update version highlighted either.

At this point I cancelled the flash, fearing it might brick the prophet. :confused:

It stayed in boot loader white screen so took battery out and started up again. All is fine but no update.

So questions are

1. What am I not doing out of ignorance;

2. How do I drop out of bootloader without taking the battery out.

Many thanks, a humble newbie

NEED your Help BOSS

Boss, i'm having a problem converting my dopod 818 pro(wm5) to wm6..

and

language

only the

image version

..

why is this so?:eek: what am i doing wrong? i followed all your steps..

thanks in advance..

p.s. i really really like to upgrade to wm6..pls..HELP
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
Nothng wrong, only the person who made the nk.nbf left out this information. It is no revelant so no big deal.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
Copy the whole upgrade package to the root-directory of your PC C:\ and run the bat from that location. If that doesn't bring a solution, you can copy JumpSPL to your device and run it there; it will put your device in a "white screen state" then connect to the PC again and run the HardSPL manually. (without using the bat script).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wanwarlock:
Thanks rondol1, my question was partially answered. what i mean is, after doing hardspl, i don't need to do hard reset or anything? just do soft reset & walla... hardspl?

thanks again
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
That is right, no hard reset. Not even the soft reset is necessary, only to check the systeminfo. When the RUU is finished (it will do a soft reset by it self), it's done!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wanwarlock:
done hard spl! thanks to all esp rondol1.... now to try some new roms!

thanks again guys

HardSPL cerun execute problem Part II

HI rondol,

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried the C\ root approach to no avail, same problem.

Moved on to directly carrying out from device root.

Ran JumpSPL (at least I tapped on it in File Explorer), and nothing.

Went to seperate thread and noticed the JumpSPLG4.zip they had had an extra file, SPL.lnk. So downloaded their version (files appeared the same, as file size the same). Replaced on root of phone the three files (previous bat file had copied SPL file and JumpSPL plus other files) from their zip and ran Jump SPL. This time I got the system working symbol for a few seconds but after that no white screen. So I did what they said, executing the SPL.lnk file and the device went into bootloader.

I was still not sure I had sucessfully performed softSPL so I aborted and reset. The SPL had not changed.

Any suggestions.

Your help is much appreciated.

I think Koenie & Wilson 77 had similar prob but don't understand their solution.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wanwarlock:
i followed the instructions, and when i double clik on hardspl.bat, it said program cannot be executed but i just waited & waited, about 3 minutes, the ruu screen came up, my prophet went to white screen & rebooted, then it worked....

ohhh, i tried it on vmware running winxp & hardspl folder was in my documents. dunno why some people are having problems...

HardSPL problems

Hi,

Umm should just run the hardSPL I suppose but not confident that the JumpSPL is working. Did you have the Image Version of your phone and the Update Image Version shown in the RUU. Was the execution problem related to cerun.

How can I find out the SoftSPL has worked?

Is my IPL out of date

Can I and should I update the IPL prior to HardSPL. If so how? If SOftSPL works can I use the IPL patch here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315016

Sorry for all the questions, just got my prophet and don't want to brick it. I think thats the stance taken by most newbies.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wanwarlock:
as i said, when i cliked on hardspl.bat, the dos window said cannot execute.... (can't remember), then the ruu screen came up, like from post above, clicked next/ok (or words to that effect) let it do it's job, my prophet went to the white screen, rebooted & showed the spl as in my sig. i didn't touch my prophet at all during this.

did you use the G4 or G3 stuff? from your post u have a G4 as you pointed out.

I'm chomping at the bit to pre-order. I'm having surgery Friday and don't want to miss getting one that day.

Any rumors on the Frontier LTE version?
[Samsung Gear S3] BarryH_GEG:
VZW took a particularly harsh view of the Note7 incident and was active in its demise. I'd imagine their relationship with Samsung is strained.

Top executives from major telecoms operators, including Verizon Communications Inc.’s Lowell McAdam, [VZW CEO] urged Mr. Lee [Interim Head of Samsung] to quickly kill the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, according to people familiar with the matter. The executives told Mr. Lee the smartphone was becoming increasingly unsalable.

On Oct. 11, Mr. Lee called Mr. Koh [Samsung Mobile chief] and ordered him to discontinue the smartphone. Later that day, Mr. Koh wrote a letter to the company’s mobile division, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, calling the crisis “one of the toughest challenges we have ever faced.”​
[Samsung Gear S3] Outbreak444:
I'm starting to doubt Verizon will have these on the shelves this Friday. None of their employees will answer questions regarding its availability. So either Verizon just sucks at marketing or they have been told not to say anything about the item, probably due to the post above me concerning the Note 7...
[Samsung Gear S3] P7M8:
It has been announced that T-Mobile will have them this Friday.

I still have the UDP. That means it will cost me $35 a month to add this device to my plan. I'm wondering if there's any benefit to getting it from a different carrier? I could link via Bluetooth to my S7 edge when using them together.
[Samsung Gear S3] BarryH_GEG:
The Gear doesn't have to be on the same carrier as your phone to use the auto-forward (calls and texts) feature that's a component of Gear Manager. You won't have one number but only AT&T currently offers it when both phone and wearable/tablet are on their network. The only difference between the two when phone/Gear aren't BT connected is calls and text sent to your phone and forwarded show your Gear's discrete phone number when you reply. Your Gear would also have its own separate VM in that scenario. Auto-forwarding is more battery friendly as one number has the Gear's phone line active all the time.
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
For those not on a postpaid plan where a wearable line can be added. T-Mobile has the cheapest standalone plan, at $15/mo. AT&T and Verizon charge $35 and $40, respectively.
[Samsung Gear S3] P7M8:
I looked around the T-Mo site, couldn't find a $15 plan. What do you get with it?

Also, when using the Gear app to forward do I have to set it up every time I leave w/o the phone or does it stay forwarded with the option of answering from my handset?
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
I had a chat session with each of carriers to determine the cost of putting a smartwatch on their cheapest standalone plan it's eligible for. While the S3 isn't available yet, it isn't theoretical because they sell other smartwatches that use a SIM (ie. LG Urbane). AT&T and Verizon put them on a smartphone plan (hence the high cost), while T-Mobile has a plan specific to wearables.

I can't speak about how call forwarding is handled by the Gear app. As a Google Voice user, its a non issue.☺

Hello everyone!

I think I may have brick my phone, I'm not sure if this is hard or soft ( not so familiar with this).

List of things you should know..

1. I can go to fastboot mode, cannot go with twrp

2. I tried the edl method-- http://en.miui.com/thread-290959-1-1.html

Miflash can detect it but when I flash the image, an error appears like this..

This is the inside of that folder in miflash

History I did on my phone is..

From vendor rom -> flash twrp adb -> clean flash cm -> Flash official global rom from miui ( which after doing this, my phone starts at mi logo then remain just a few sec ) ( I cannot open twrp again )

Please help :( Will this be fix again or not? Thank you!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Sam.1211:
It can be easily fixed. First check if you have kate or kenzo version of RMN3. Start your phone in edl state from fastbook. Download then extract fastboot rom using 7z twice. Connect, press flash and that's it. Enjoy your beast!

It's important to note that if you flash kenzo rom over kate phone, you will have no reception. If you check, your imei will be gone, but don't temper witj changing imei, it's still there, but it cannot be red by the wrong modem files.
