Hello,
I tried to upgrade my SPV M1000 to WM5. I followed the procedure and ran the device in bootloader mode. I put the device on the cradle and it displayed USB and V1.06. Ok sounded good.
I started then the HimaUpgradeUt.exe program on the PC. The problem is HimaUpgradeUt.exe didn't find the mobile device at all. After maybe 1 minute looking to it displayed an error 101 message.
I tried different things : install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5 (no change)
I tried to connect the device with mty and it worked !
I tried to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with the SPV running WM2003 and it found the device. I didn't try to upgrade in this mode anyway.
Any help is very welcome.
is your machine with win vista also?
as you said that you tryed to install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, guess its WinXP. if its 2000/WinXP/win2003 then use only 4.2 version of ActiveSync. don't know why but i can only have sucess with that version. check for any security software that may block COM. with ActiveSync-Pocketpc.
that HimaUpgradeUt.exe you use is for your model? as im not an expert on this matter, don't know if your precise phone is a himalaya, maybe thats the prob. ehehhe then maybe not as im not aware of all the brands this peace of tech can became!
do right click on my computer and select manage, goto device manager and see for a mobile entry there, while your pocket is connected in serial/usb boot mode. there must be a windows ce device there for this to happen, and you should, not a must, but try to shut activesynch down while doing this detection with HimaUpgradeUt
Yes I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed activesync 4.2 again and disabled the firewall. I can see windows detecting the device when I put it on the cradle. But there is still the 101 error message when I try to run the update.
Vista and upgrade
Firstly thanks to marcjero for guiding me to this thread...
secondly... I had no probs at all, syncing my device with vista's WMDC(Windows mobile device center), apparently I tried to flash my device... and yes its an i-mate XDA II, currently running on C_ShekharAKU3.5.R40.P24_public_ROM and want to update to the latest one... apparently, connected my device to my system in bootloader mode... and well since then my system has a prob detecting my device... and I cannot even sync now... when i try to run HimaUpgrade, get the same 101 error code... :-(
any ideas how to get this thing working again?
PS: its seriously frustrating for me
use the "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe " instead the "HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
download it HERE!
install the latest Active Sync...version 4.5
Syncing in Vista is no problem but as i said from other thread...i tried but not working...you cannot flash the device except in winxp...
Regards!

Could worth to try.
I tried to flash using my work laptop and it's working now
44% processed, finger are crossed...
First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!
Device is a AT&T 8525. Thanks!

Try a different USB port first, fire the device into bootloader mode manually and see if the device is detected by windows as "HTC USB SYNC"........use a hardwired port NOT a USB Hub aswell.
I tried a different USB port. It is not being plugged in to an external USB hub. I went into the bootloader screen and my computer makes the sound that a USB device was plugged in and it does show in the device manager as "HTC USB SYNC". What now?
Now try to do an update, Sounds like a problem associated with the connection of the device to your machine...usually caused by messed up USB drivers or a conflicting program.
Just tried. Same error again. Tried restarting the computer and tried it again. No dice.
this is the answer
hey man, how u doing. I was getting those errors too, I actually have a Tilt, I got error 200, and 260 trying to change my rom, I was about to give up. then I tried something I didn't think of, I updated my device center software from Microsoft and then miraculously everything worked after that. If you have XP update your Active sync software to the latest one and everything should work after that. Hope this helps.
and one more thing, make sure you install HardSPL v1 (or later when its released) first before trying to install the ROM.
I don't think anything is wrong with your usb drivers
I had actually checked to make sure I had the most recent version already and I do. I cannot install HardSPL either, since it gives me error 260 there also.
Error 260 is an open port error... I believe you have already tried resetting your device, but have you rebooted your pc prior to this procedure... I am grasping at straws for you, since you said you have tried soft resetting to no avail... I believe MrVanx stated to put the phone in bootloader mode and try to run the update utility that way... It works for me...
Can you try this on a different pc? If so, does it work? I have a post on another forum that you might find interesting... I did not compile it on my own, but cannot recall where I got it from... anyway, the link is HERE...
Hope this helps you out...
I have restarted the computer multiple times. I just tried it on my laptop and that did not work. I can boot the phone to the bootloader, but how do I install it from there?
That should be the easiest part... once you have it in bootloader mode, connect it via usb and then launch the update utility...
I get error 260 doing that also. argh!!!
i know how u feel
i had your problem several times. you want to know how i fixed it?
i didn't...
first i tried everything you and the guys mentioned and... nothing. then it worked the next day by itself.
the second time i couldn't connect i was really mad because the errors came sporadically. i tried installing AS, uninstalling, hard resetting the device, changing usb ports, anything logical and illogical and it worked on changing usb ports (but not on the first change).
now i'm at my girlfriends, had no problems until i saw farias new rom and wanted to flash it. guess what connection error
p.s. i've read trough and trough, but i've found no solution
what version and OS?

yeah, I thought u would dget that again. i don't believe the error is originating from your phone, its more from the computer. what operating system are you using and whats the version number for activeSync or MS Device Center you are using?
I had that error on my home pc and on my girlfriend's laptop prior to updating my device center software. My pc is running Vista ultimate x64 and my girlfriend's laptop is running Vista Home Premium x32. I'm on her laptop right now, the version of device center is 6.1.6965. when I get home I will see which version is on my computer, I remember seeing "beta" on the one I got at home, lol, I didn't know Microsoft sent out beta software through its msupdate.
okeven, someone replied with good suggestions to the thread that u accidentally started over in the kaiser forum. you might want to check that out
I have version 6.1.6965 also. It does not say anything about it being a beta version, but with Microsoft, isn't everything in beta stage?
I did try the "official wm6 AT&T" version. Upgraded just fine. Tried upgrading to another one. Failed with error 260. What is different with the official upgrade program compared to the unofficial ones. THAT is the problem.
help
hi guys,
i have the same problem always the code 260, and also, my tytn's screen become within light, and without any boot number, ni radio, anything appears, please help me,,
thanks,
Finnaly
Hi guys
I also have the 260 problem but i resolved it:
1º- connect pda and make a active sync connection
2º run RUU
3º the 3-color screen will appear and update will stop with the 260 message error. be sure you can install the "qualcomm cdma technologies msm driver" at this moment, by an internet connection.
4º after the driver is installed, the word "USB" will appear in the white strip of the 3 color screen;
5º run RUU again and that´s all!
I´ve tried it in windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
hi,
I had the same issue on my second flash... I resolved it by ignoring all .exe's (which I like in general).
So I copied the .nbh onto the card, renamed to Kovsimg.nbh, bootlader mode, done
cheers

Hi gys, I think that this is my first post, but I want to share some solution for with you. The most important think with "connection" errors is to have HSPL installed correctly. I was trying to install on my HD2 universal ones, like Hard spl v7 and 9, but problems occured. So after trying everything, I found HSPL (on this forum) just for HD2. After that, everything wass like a charm
Dear all,
I recently bought a HTC Touch Pro (MDA Vario 4) from T-Mobile.
Although the phone is nice, I do not like the interface T-Mobile has.
So, I decided to install a new ROM (Romeos beta 1.12 looks really nice).
I downloaded this ROM + Hard SPL 1.90, also I installed ActiveSync 4.5 (newest version for XP pro).
Hard SPL cannot find my phone when it is connected via USB, this is why:
When I connect my phone to my computer (via USB), the computer finds the phone (and adds a virtual harddrive) this is all working as intended. ActiveSync also detects the phone and tries to connect, it DOES connect but only as a guest...as such I cannot use Hard SPL, cannot install the new ROM, cannot sync Outlook contacts etc etc.
Being a guest on ActiveSync I can still look inside my phone (via added virtual harddrive) but that is it.
I am kinda new to a smartphone like interface, but it is damn frustrating this wont work.
When I google for help, all I see is that people (when they connect for the first time) get a activesync wizard who helps them make an account for it...I dont get that at all.
i reinstalled activesync several times, but with no success, I still get connected as guest instantly.
I would love to know how to resolve this.
if anyone got ideas? Please let me know.
With regards,
David
When you connect there are three settings that will show in your MDA Vario:
- connect to ActiveSync
- connect as hard drive
- connect as modem
Choose connect to active sync. If your MDA Vario is connecting directly in ActiveSync (and no wizard pops out) then it connected to it before. You could go to active sync and go to File->Mobile Device and verify if your MDA Vario exists in there. If yes, delete it then connect your MDA to start the wizard.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, that I always choose Activesync when connecting.
But my options in Activeync 4.5 are down to a minimum, I cannot recall being able to go to file->Mobile Device, will check tonight though.
Thx,
Regards,

You sure can flash the rom and spl even as a guest, i've done it several times and can confirm it working. Have you tried just executing RaphaelCustomRUU.exe?
Also, did you chose ActiveSync in the phone's usb connect popup?
there's also a way of flashing by booting the phone straight into bootloader mode and then executing the flasher. Dunno if it works for stock SPL though.
Couldn't hurt trying;
1. Remove the battery
2. Re-insert battery
3. press vol down and power button to turn the phone on
4. Connect usb and flash with RaphaelCustomRUU.exe like usual.
Hi,
I have had my 8125 for about 2 1/2 years now, love it!. Just the other day, it started locking up and giving me the white screen of death.
I tried to flash it with a rom, and it got to 99% and then lost connection. Tried to do the recovery, but that failed too.
I have found alot of good information from the smart and wonderful people on this forum and tried a bunch of stuff.. but I am now stuck.
Now, I can always boot into the bootloader, and it says USB over the left softkey, but no apps can connect to the phone.
I tried to use other RUU roms, HardSPL, SoftSPL, etc...I tried to unlock my CID using the thread in this forum, but SoftSPL couldnt connect to the phone via USB.
All apps error with "error unable to connect to device."
I have read the forum about having a bad mimi-USB port, but I dont think thats my case.
Please help! I am pretty close
Dell D620 CoreDuo 1.8Ghz; WinXP SP2
ActiveSync 4.5
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001

Ok,first,no other custom build rom will flash on it,except official stock rom of the carrieror,however, you can try wizard_love rom,as it has patched IPL/SPL (Bootloaders),so don't try to flash any other custom build,as its a G4,custom rom can only be flashed through SoftSPL or HardSPL.
Download official carrier's stock rom and wizard_love rom.
Secondly,
1.Disable activesync or rather uninstal it altogether,as its not needed during flashing a rom.
2.End process 'wcescomm.exe' in the 'windows Task Manager.
3.Clear and delete the 'Temp Folder' files
4.Run 'Disk Cleaner'
5.Disable all Anti Virus and Firewall.
6.Try to stop/disable all running programs in the background via 'Task Manager'
7. Get the battery fully charged,as many comm errors are due to weak or discharged battery.
After doing all this,get the phone in Bootloaders before connecting with pc via usb cable,there shudn't be any usb at the bottom of the Bootloaders,now connect with pc and check if usb appears at the bottom,if its there than,its establishing connection,go ahead and run official stock or wizard_love rom.Don't use the pc or play games or check emails,don't even do any word,excell or any office application.Check if any application/program interferes with the flash,either disable or remove that program.
Does the battery get charged through usb cable ? verify it.
If after getting the phone into bootloaders and connecting through usb cable,small usb doesn't appear,it means there's a connectivity problem,replace the usb cable and verify it again.Even try with another pc with winXP or change the usb input port of the pc ,put the usb cable in some other usb port on the pc.
Apart from all these,I don't find any reason for not getting the flash completed
Hi,
Thanks for the help.. I tried the wizzard_love rom, and then went to the NBD_v8.3 /w TouchFlo rom and thats awesome!
my biggest issue was not able to connect to the device although it looked like it should have.
on another thread someone said to leave the battery out for 5 mins. I did that and all of a sudden it started to connect consistantly.
After that I did the HardSPL and started flashing and all is well..
Thanks for your help!!!!
Hi,
I'm trying to flash my HSPL, using HSPL2 or HSPL3, but it doesn't work.
At every attempt, I've got that stupid "flow:00000001 and error code:0000002 and description:USB connect failed!" popup...
I've tried every USB port of my laptop, I've tried with WMDC 6.1, I've tried with the bootloader USB mode, tried "run as administrator", etc. it never worked
My HD2 is a french Orange, with 1.72 official rom and 1.66 HSPL.
Any idea/suggestion/new method ?
It's really frustrating !!
Thanks for your help !
(FYI, my laptop is running on Vista)
up pleez
some people never get a particular PC to work, no obvious reason why. Usually using another machine sorts it out. Flashing and syncing still usually works even though hspl doesn't.
