Guest Interblat Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 Many of us have received the "Bad news! Instaill did not complete" warning while trying to install the WM 2003 ROM on the MPx 200. I've replaced the smartfone.ini driver via my PC via the one included with the package ... uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash program ... restarting the computer ... trying different USB ports -- all to no avail. Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem? I would appreciate any guidance you have. Thanks, Allen
Guest smooth1 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 What operating system are you using? I think windows 98 and windows ME dorks up the installation. I have win me and I cant install the rom either :D
Guest Interblat Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 Windows XP. I'm wondering if the anti-virust program is blocking the install. Thoughts anyone?
Guest brnoblade Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 I`m on Windows XP, and I have tried everything I can think of, with no success. Please someone help
Guest TANKERx Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 I've said before that this problem happens if you use the .inf file from the Wizard installer as opposed to the one go the root of the .rar file. I had the same problem but when I updated the driver to that one, it worked. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Interblat Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 I did try doing exactly that -- updating the driver -- but the symptoms have remained. I'm also running XP. Any other clues?
Guest TANKERx Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Sorry, I read your post on my Smartphone and didn't catch everything you originally said.... my bad. You are getting a response on your PC when you plug in your phone with the left direction key pressed?
Guest Interblat Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Yes, I am. The program properly detects the phone. I get the failure message about 15 seconds into the flash. Thanks!
Guest kurtfhouse Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Weird :? Sounds like you have done everything right???? I have XP and my MPx200 flashed to the 2003 rom first time without a hitch. Try a hard reset on your phone then flashing it
Guest gravity Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 This is a problem with your OS, not your phone. Happened to me on ME, so I just moved to a different computer and did it on xp. Also, halfway through the flashing, I pulled out the USB cable and made it stop the flash. Replugged it in and started the flash all over again. Still works perfectly.
Guest [email protected] Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 I'm getting the same problem both on Win XP and Win 98 (on 2 different PCs) Fortunately the phone still works ok afterwards As previous posts, I am using the .inf file supplied with the .rar file. Phone detected when doing the left key start but the install stops almost straight away.
Guest [email protected] Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Does anyone have any suggestions about what the problem is ? I know that the only modem driver was the one supplied at the root of the rar file because I deleted all the other copies from my PC. One good thing. I did a hard reset and then reinstalled on my software but not the MMS applications which I never use. My phone seems much faster, the inbox opens straight away and there is more free memory.
Guest Interblat Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Carrying this forward, I tried doing the flash on another computer, running Windows 2000, with the same non-result. Also, I cannot flash the phone with a 2002 ROM. And I even downloaded the 2003 ROM again from another source. Still a no-go. So I am hoping someone can figure this out, because this has me stumped! Thanks.
