(yeah i know it's all my fault)

now i don't know how to get back. the only thing i can get to is the bootloader screen and i have a couple of roms but the only one will work with the mtty program that communicates with the phone are .bin files which i ddon't have. Any ideas guys? I kinda just want my phone back.

i am really confused as to why it doesn't work. maybe it's because its for the c500 only. but looking at this link

there is one for the audiovox.

Put your phone into boorloader and run the first UK update.

Normal you can go back easy this way

good luck

WM2005 does indeed run on the Typhoon, but only a select few. The ROM is paired with these and won't run on a normal Typhoon.

MS are getting wise to the idea of ROM copying, so they have protected this one rather well...

Did you find this on P2P? I would like to try it on my C500.

It's unlikely it'll work and even if it does it really isn't worth it to be honest. My advice is to stick to the 4.2.1.1 rom until a decent version gets leaked.

im sure its been said before, but leaked roms can break your phone

and a friendly reminder, no asking how or where to get said leaked roms

When MS employees request WM5, they are required to provide their phone's IMEI, and get a custom ROM which only works with their phone. The device authentication message indicates a mismatch between the IMEI the ROM was keyed to, and the IMEI on your phone.

I don't know how you obtained the copy you have. Either you obtained it legitimatly and mistyped your IMEI in the request form, in which case simply go through the same proceedure again, type the correct IMEI, and flash the new BIN file using mtty.

If, however, you are not authorized to use WM5, and you somehow got a copy of someone else's ROM without knowing about the protection, I'm afraid you're rather stuck. The protection is very weak (hint: devauth.exe), but it would be against the rules of this forum for me to tell you how to patch it. If you can't figure it out yourself, I guess you shouldn't be messing with ROMs you know nothing about ;)

Some things I can clarify: 1) The Typhoon build of WM5 does work on both the C500 and SMT5600 - so that's not the problem. 2) The bootloader you have (1.01.109) is semi-borked. It won't accept most NBF files and SD backups. If you could boot WM5, you could flash a different bootloader via typhoonnbftools. Since you can't, I'm afriad there's nothing that can be done. Sorry.

the wm2005 roms are coded to your phones imei. this is to prevent people from pirating them. hopefully you can convert back to the old rom.

this is why you have to be careful downloading roms off the net, you can easily create yourself a nice little paper weight.

if you have installed wm5 and messed up your c500, this site (forum.xda-developers.com) will help you solve most of your problems

i downloaded and installed wm5, and its great. older applications dont work though so be warned

thanks zone-mr, i know the hint u are talking about and i got around it about two days ago. its working great on my phone and i love it, especially the new functanlity and speed of IE. just sad that the camera apps sucks and looks like no hope in fixing it. all my programs work great except for opera which doenst really matter anymore since i like the new IE so much

Checking out the screenshots I see something called "SetLed" does that let you change the blinking of the LED to mean something usefull (like missed calls etc?) Thanks,

[Guest mooman]

I'm in the same boat, flashed my c500 and now I get the same error. Oh well off to ebay to try and get a new phone :-/.

[Guest Xenzo1990]

Im not sure which version you guys have tried flashing but the version I did worked fine. Oh look, my msn address is on this button bellow.
