Guest descenpet Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 you can try making goldcard in your phone if you don't have card reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest msiviter Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi, using the RUU (I've tried the two different recommended ones) it goes to the bootloader then on the PC is says 'waiting for bootloader' which then goes to error[171] USB connection error after about a minute. I've got adb and all the drivers. What am I doing wrong, I establish a sync with HTC sync (latest version ) before launching the RUU? Can I use Droid Explorer to help me or are these RUUs the only way of getting an old ROM on? Thanks Matt It's the T-mobile UK handset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
