[HTC Hurricane] Jurdz:
Hurricane wm6 flashing tutorial - update

All sorted!! Thanks for the help guys.

I only paid a pound for the phone so it was a great exercise. I can probably sell it now (for a lot more money). Anyway, after my experience, I thought Id share and clarify a few points ...

DISCLAIMER:

This tutorial worked for me and my phone. I CANNOT and WILL NOT give any guarantee that it will work for you. Following this or any other tutorial regarding flashing/upgrading a mobile phone/smartphone is to be done AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither I or the authors of this any other tutorial can or will be held responsible if use of such a tutorial results in an unusable handset. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

PLEASE NOTE : the following instructions should only be used in conjunction with the instructions posted by UBRDAVE at the top of this thread (post #1). They should NOT be used in isolation.

1.

I spent a good three hours trying this upgrade procedure on a Windows7 laptop. Some bits worked but I couldnt complete the process at all. Therefore I suggest that this procedure should only be undertaken on a Windows XP machine running ActiveSync4.5

2.

The SPVServices utility doesnt work anymore.

Either

2a - Go to a thread called "HELP SPVservices website offline!! " in this forum and click the link in post #5 (Sorry I cant post a hyperlink at the moment). Follow the instructions from Step 13 (only) from where it says "* If you cannot use SPV-Developers SuperCID tools..."

Or

2b - do a search for, download and extract Lokiwiz02_173.zip. Then:

Run (double click) Lokiwiz.bat

you will get a black DOS screen with 4 options:

U. Unlock

L. Lock

C. Cid Unlock (SuperCID)

Q. Quit

Press C and then Enter. A few seconds later your phone SHOULD BE SuperCID...!!!

3.

After patching the RUU when you get to the TriColour screen, and it asks "need an I U(0)" YOU MUST PRESS 0 (zero) IMMEDIATELY. The brackets are the clue - it wants you to press 0 to accept. If you press any other key or dont press a key, it will apply an "N" instead of a "Y". If it applies an "N" then try the step again as if it applies an "N" any subsquent steps of the tutorial wont work.

4.

When running the MMTY142.exe utility, follow these steps:

4a - type in

info 2

This will display storage information and SuperCID status. You may or may not get an error message on the storage information (CMD55 Failed). If the storage Init phase was successful then you will get a display something like

***** user area size = 0xF400000 Bytes.

If you got an error message (as I did), got point 4c below.

4b - If you didnt get an error message type in

format BINFS

you may or may not have to enter an 8 digit hex value as well. I cant confirm what this value is as I got the error message.

4c - you now need to tell the MMTY142 utility to load the rom file and where it is. I could only get this stage to work by copying the 413.bin file onto my C: drive. Therefore I suggest you do the same. Then Type in

l C:\413.bin

where:

l is a lowercase L followed by a space

Then WAIT!!. BE PATIENT!!! The update could take quite a while (mine took about 10 minutes)

5.

Disconnect and reboot your phone

Onece rebooted, press Start, 6, 0, 2 and then select US English.

copy t9 english.cab to the phone using activesync and run it on your phone to sort out the chinese keypad.

All done! Good luck!
