How-To Flash the HERALD-USPL-beta3:

Download and extract both files.

Place the extracted .nbh file into the Herald-uspl-beta3/RUU folder.

Move the entire Herald-uspl-beta3 folder to the root of the c:\.

Follow the simple readme file.

Break down of how to flash this rom:

Then follow these steps:

II. How do I flash an NBH file?

a. USPL

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.

* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

That's it. :-) Welcome to the flasher's world.

Will the battery life last longer on this build???

I'm going to go with the original radio for all the roms and will make available different radio versions for you folks to install after flashing the roms.

Please remember that battery life might not be as good but the reception should be a lot better with newier raido versions.

To me it's a choice we all have to make, I have a charger most of the time so battery life does not matter to me. I want to be able to make and receive calls.

=====================================

I will have the Org build completed and uploaded today.

This will be a good rom for folks that want and need some of the original programs like Windows Live, My5favs and it will come with the standard NetCF 2.0 so all older programs will work with it.

But please remember that it will not be as fast as the other versions due to NetCF 2.0 instead of NetCF 3.5.

=====================================

I've just uploaded Open Touch v5.0 Org (Original T-Mobile Rom OT Style).

This one is only for people who want some of the original apps and run older programs.

I'm sorry but I just paid for a rapid share account which is where I uploaded the rom to.

Installed Micro and I can't get past the initial boot get multiple errors.

Notification Error
Cannot execute
repllog.exe

I believe it was all due to no screen alignment but after some navigating got into the ROM.

Was not able to use any phone features had to revert back to a previous version

Sounds like Ttran removed something he shouldn't have. I know what it is because I've done the same before, but I can't think of the name right now. (And I can't check because I'm at work.) The word is on the tip of my tongue, too.
