So I recently downloaded the "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship" ROM for my 8525, in hopes that it will provide me with a more stable pda/phone enviroment so that I may do the work I need to without having to hard reset every other day or so.
When I try to run the ROM install, I follow all the insturctions but when the update starts to run, it shuts my activesync connection off so the update can't run and throws back an error that it lost connection with the device.
Any Help Here? Thanks
PS: I love the idea of being able to use my 8525 for all my work and play needs, but if this update doesn't help make the device more stable, I will have to sell it for something that doesn't crash this much.
hey..iv got same problem.. i think it maybe cause we are using windows vista (thats the only information i can find about it).. i wanted to update ma rom aswell
I'm using XP Pro.
try running it on another system...if available...
anyone know the solution to this?!
OK, have you installed HardSPL ??
Check my SAFE WM5 upgrade guide, if you follow the procedures in there you should be fine.
Yeah, as far as stability goes most the wm5 roms out of the box aren't going to be the best. with any rom i use sktools to tune it up for performance/stability settings. It does this automatically so you don't have to find various registry keys. So don't think just because you are going to another rom everything will be okay.
Read the wiki, search the threads, you will find answers to all your problems.
As far as you not being able to connect what is your spl number? Also, have you tried hard reseting then connecting or trying another computer. I had the same problem when downgrading a black 2.5 with hard spl 2.1 ( i had to downgrade to send it back to cingular). I ended up just downgrading to the highest version of cingular rom which is branded AT&T. It looked like a pretty good rom but I did not play with it.
he does not need hardSPL(at least i dont think so) he is just runnning an update for another cingular ROM, its still the same CID...try running it on another system, i had this same problem and it worked on another system....

HardSPL will protect him against a faulty SPL flash if it occurs, a newer SPL is likely to be in the ROM update aswell as a newer radio possibly. Having the same CID doesnt matter because if the radio or SPL flashing procedure messes up it can create a bricked device VERY easily (corrupt SPL or even a corrupted CID/Radio BL). Besides if he already has HardSPL that would explain why the RUU doesnt reconnect when the device is in bootloader mode.

point well taken...=)
you mention, since he has already gotten HardSPL, why would that mean his device doesnt reconnect in bootloader?
put it in bootloader first and then run the update...
make sure you disable usb connections with active sync put your phone in bootloader and run the update might as well go with WM6 its a lot more stable than any WM5 rom i have played with .
OS crash
I run ROM install then computer shuts itself now my 8525 show hi true color with red/blue/white i tried to hard reset to solve but till hi true color what should i do?

I've run there updates on my 8525. If the computer is shutting itself down, try another computer. This sounds odd. More of a computer problem then a Tytn Problem.

=) have you even tried it?
I'm having a problem connecting ActiveSync over USB. When I first got the phone I was able to use that connection. Then I set up BT ActiveSync. I believe at the time I could use either USB or BT, but it has been a while. BT sync was so much more convenient for me that I haven't used my USB connection except for charging the phone.
Today I tried to get set up to upgrade the ROM, but ActiveSync doesn't seem to work over USB anymore. I turned off BT on the phone. When I plug it into my laptop's USB port the laptop makes a sound indicating it sees the connection. It makes a different sound when I unplug it. I also see the orange charge light come on on the phone. I usually charge the phone this way when I am on the road since I don't carry the wall charger with me.
I think at one point I installed a river that I fdound here to access the phone in bootloader moder. Other than veryfying the phone connected this way, I never did anything with the driver. IT has been so long that I don't remember the details. Could that be affecting the connection for ActiveSync?
I have made sure my firewall is inactive. In Windows XP Device Manager I see an HTC USB Sync device under Windows CE devices. Would it be safe to remove that device?
Any ideas how I can get USB ActiveSync to work again?
Is it totally crazy to try the ROM upgrade over the BT connection?

You may want to try using the Hard SPL v7 and then install your ROM. I did that and all went smooth as silk - six times now. I have been browsing ROMs to see which one suited my needs an personality, and it has been fun. You can find that on my FTP site at ftp://xda:[email protected]/xda_dlz/
This is a dynamic IP Address from a cable modem so two things are true
1. It is subject to change at any time.
2. It is not as fast as some of these speedy servers
But, I do know where it is.

I had tried this yesterday and checked the Enable advanced network functionality box. Today I unchecked it and suddenly the PC saw a new USB device (HTC Sync USB, I think). It still wouldn't sync automatically so I manually executed /windows/repllog.exe. This time it connected.
Some observations:
- After the connection was established the the name of my 8525 was changed to something different (something like WM_ComputerName1, Where ComputerName is my computer's host name). I changed the name back and was able to re-invoke repllog.exe and sync with the old name.
- If I disconnect the USB cable from the phone and plug it in again ActiveSync doesn't connect until I manually run repllog.exe. It does work when I run the exe on the phone manually.
I went ahead and started the upgrade process after connecting by running repllog.
Executing the RUU file from the HTC site first put SPL 1.11 on the phone and left the phone in bootloader mode (with the tricolor screen). I left the phone with bootloader screen and followed the instructions (although by now ActiveSync had shut down so the part about the AS connection that the installer asked for was not true). The progress bars appeared on both the phone and the PC. It took a few minutes to complete, but the update was successful.
After the upgrade I was able to sync over USB without any problems. I am now syncing my contact from Lotus Notes and setting things up to my liking. Once I got over the USB connection problem everything worked fine!
Hi Guys!!
While trying to upgrade my phone, this is what happened:
STEP ONE: Super CID
The first time it went wrong cause the ACtiveSync was not on to complete the final stage of tis step. So, I never got the "Unlocker" Application on my phone in order to unlock the phone. (What happened is that I probably forgot to put on the password after rebooting, so the ActiveSync never recognised the phone.
So, I decided to restart the step and I completed it successfully!!
STEP TWO: Hard SPL
This step went perfect!!!
STEP THREE: RADIO ROM
After the phone booted from Step Two, my laptop does not recognize the phone anymore!!!! The battery charging sign only appear for a few seconds then I get a pop up saying "One of your USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". This means that the ACtiveSync cannot run. I have tried this on my Laptop and my PC but same results.
My phone looks ok though, so what went wrong guys? What are my options here?
Thanks

Your phone is not bricked. Congratulations on successfully CID unlocking and installing Hard SPL. Most with issues don't at least do the Hard SPL before they get themselves into trouble.
What version of Activesync are you using? Do you have enable advanced network compatibility checked on the start->settings->connection->USB tab of your phone? If so uncheck it.
If you are on AS 4.2 I recommend upgrading to 4.5. Also unplug the phone from your computer and reboot both devices then try to reconnect.
This problem is actually quite common and easily worked around. It can be frustrating though.
All is GOOD!!!

Thanks Man, I managed to succesfully upgrade it!!!
Hi.
I am a bit embarrassed about writing this, I never thought I would make a brick of my Prophet during “upgrades”...
But here I am, with a phone that don't want to sync with any computer after I accidentally pressed cancel on an active sync dialog box asking for setup with a new device, during upgrade to the latest Touch VIII. Have upgraded several times with several different ROM’s before, but this time things went wrong.
If I choose to start my device normally, it goes trough the HTC screen and stops after the Qtek (HTC in Norway) screen listing the different versions of the hardware…
When I restart to boot loader (Cam button + reset) the 3 colours turn up ok, but when I put an USB cable in the device and the lower, left part of the screen shows USB, active sync will not recognise any new device no matter what I do.
I can still find the Prophet when I go to properties on the computer, but somehow active sync does not care about that.
Are there any way to use a program at the host computer to sync properly with the Prophet?
I would really appreciate any help that could rectify this problem.
Regards, Lars Norway
I believe the " WM6 Upgrade Guide" thread has the info you needed.

Tried the info there without success...
The guide assumes that you have connection with ActiveSync, but I can not seem to get connection.
So, I really need some advice about how to make a connection to the computer I will make the programming from, when ActiveSync is not working properly.
Have tried to restart both the device and the host computer, have reinstalled ActiveSync, have tried to start the different roms without having a connection to A.S., but no luck...
Have realized my mistake and bought a new Prophet, but would still like to get the old one working again.
it has nothing to do with activesync.
Not sure u really understand the below statement from the thread I mentioned.
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
in case you can't NVID roms, you can still use those step1 roms mentioned by ROM gurus here.

Well, the problem is that I am not able to connect...
As far as I understand, the only way to connect is by using ActiveSync?
Regards
connect = the cable between prophet and your pc. after that just run the rom update utility. just dun bother the activesync (does it sound logical to u to establish activesync in bootloader mode?)
OK, I have tried it, but will try on some different computers also.
Posting in a couple of hours.
Thanks for your help so far!
then wish u good luck. happy un-bricking.
OK, same as before.
Depending on which ROM I try, the following messages are the result:
Error [300]: Invalid update tool.
Error [274]: Connection (The update utillity cannot connect to your PDA phone.)
If I try the Touch VIII direct, it stops in Initializing for a while, and then a message appears with the text: Cannot connect to device, Would I like to try again?
Besides, in the welcome screen during the "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" in the Prophet_PV_Temp program, step nr. 2. asks me to ""Establish an ActiceSync connection with your PDA phone."
So, no change from yesterday yet...
are you using windows vistA???
Have only been using computer with XP Pro installed.
Anybody of the opinion that the connection tools built into Vista might do a better job?

No, on the contrary. The best change you have is XP. Zeroed asked about Vista because it could be the reason of your troubles.
What I should do is just one detail different of what you have already tried:
Put the prophet in bootloader.
DISable "allow USB conection" in the conection-setting panel of ActiveSync
Connect your prophet with the USB cable
Run the NVID RUU again
If that is succesfull, you can upgrade to the WM6 ROM you like.
OK, will do.
Tried Vista just now, same errors and no luck.
Be posting in a minute...
OK, now I'm back.
Made a restart of the host computer, changed settings in ActiveSync, startet my device in Bootloader...
But unfortunately, no more success this time either.
Feel that the device must be more seriously defective/broken than others, this mishap happend at the end of the programming, when the 3 partitions were being written in the device. I was loading Touch VIII...
Anybody know if there is any more combination of buttons or reset methodes I could try?
Next step is to start opening the Prophet...

Just wondering if your computer detects prophet as a device at all? Does the normal plug device sound comes on when you plug in? Just a long shot, stick in a SD card and try with windows media player to see if it can sync or put files onto SD card. if so, get rom refreshed via SD card...
try few hard resets before you try this.
Not quite sure I understood what you suggested. I can get the device up in the host computers machine properties, but there is no way to get it up in any other program - like the Windows explorer.
Or are you saying that there is a way to boot the Prophet directly from a SD card? That would impress me!!!

This sounds dumb, but try restarting your PC, closing all apps running in background (including firewalls), restarting Prophet (with stylus in reset hole). DO NOT TRY TO USE ACTIVE SYNC. Boot into bootloader (Three colours screen), connect USB cable and flash QTEK lastest official, or Jesterz AKU 3.3 (I have found this ROM to have magical powers of unbricking.)
Good luck!

Hmm this is wierd.I ran into problem earlier this month trying to flash a ROM but got stuck somewhere. So I followed the steps given in the sticky thread. Everything work smoothly. I am using XP SP2 and mine is a G3.
Let's make the assumption that your PDA is not faulty. Maybe you can try the steps again but this time :-
1. Change to another USB cable (or you may test the existing cable by connecting to a working pda)
2. Change to another USB port
3. Make sure you are not running any program that hogs the USB resource
4. If you are using USB hub, please don't connect using it. Make a direct connection to your computer.
that's all I can offer now...hope it helps.
i posted this in the hard spl sticky thread but got no responses so i thought i would create a new thread.
Been reading through the forums for 3 hrs. i read the entire unlocker thread. cant find any info on this.
i own a htc x7501. i performed a hard reset, connected device to windows xp pc. synced with active sync 4.5. everything connected, i can browse files on the device. device definitely connected.
i took out the sd card, sim card remains. windows xp computer has all updates and service packs and antivirus disabled.
i ran athena unlocker version 3, downloaded today from unlocker thread. click step 1, it loads the RUU, i follow the steps, says upgrading from image version 2.19 to Hard-spl. i click next, says now upgrading and shows the status bar at 0%. after about 10 - 15 secs, windows pops up on computer screen and says "error 202: connection. please make sure your device is connected to your computer, check the cable, blah blah"
tried mulitple times, each time restarting pc and device. device still works as before, nothing changed at all.
any ideas?
come on guys, anything?
someone has to have a clue
what do you see when you get into the bootloader screen. Get into the boot loader by pressing down and holding on the camera button while sticking your stylus into the reset hole for a good 5 seconds.
it says:
athe100
ipl-v2.02
ATHE100
SPL-v1.10.0000
i followed the tutorial video in the unlocker thread, and on the video when the guy done step 1, it asks to install something on the phone, enablerapi.cab by the look of the video. i never get this, just says "connection error"
thx for your reply Eaglesteve, appreciate it
This mean your flashing was not successful yet.
I think you should first reflash your original ROM back to restore it back to working condition again first. Then repeat the step and keep the finger cross this time.
You do this by first going into the boot loader mode, then connect up the usb cable, and run the RUU (RomUpdateUtility) program of your ORIGINAL stock ROM.
Edit: Sorry, did you say that your device is actually still working? Then you don't need to reflash the original ROM.
Do you have .net Framework 2.0 installed with the services packs on your XP machine?
i think there might be a misunderstanding.
the rom is untouched. i cant complete anything. here is what i did from the beginning. new stock phone. performed hard reset. went through customisations as per normal. stock rom installed.
plugged device into pc running xp. active sync, connected and synced. ran unlocker tool version 3. press step one, unlocker minimises and open RUU. says checking device for version details, finds them, says image version 2.19. great, that shows it can communicate with device. i click next a couple times, eventually it gets to the status screen that shows percentage of flashing and a warning at the bottom that says, "be aware this might take 10 mins" or something like that. about 15 secs, nothing happens, then new window appears saying "error 202: connection, please ensure device is connected, check cable/cradle"
i click ok, RUU exits, unlocker reappears, and says step 1 complete.
make sense?

I wish I could be of more assistance, but I'm not sure why your connection does not stay firm throughout the process. Perhaps you could PM Olipro for assistance?
yeah i might have to. i was thinking about trying it from a server 2003 machine, in case it is something wrong with my xp pc. i also have a vista pc but i dont trust vista enought to do it.
you think server 2003 would be ok to do it from?
thanx for helping a fellow aussie out

No worries mate.
Perpahs you want to try a newly installed XP machine? You know what it is with older machine. After a while all kinds of stuff goes in to corrupt it. I vaguely remember a post where someone who did not succeed with an XP machine later got it workign with another XP machine.
I think it is not possible for Olipro to anticipate all the possible conditions which might affect the program.
So, give it another go with a different, cleaner XP machine.
Good luck.
thanx, i might try that tomorrow if olipro has no other ideas. this is a newly formatted pc. i format quite regularly, being a network administrator, i keep all my pc's very clean.
i will report back my results when i get this solved.
thanx again

Your cable has no problem I assume? Do you have problem doing ActiveSync in normal use?
the cable is the same one i got with the device. hardly used. everything in activesync works fine. i can browse files. install programs, everything works as it should, except the unlocker
I had a very similar problem when i tried to make the WM6 upgrade...
The reason for the connection failure:i had my Ameo connected via an external USB-hub.Which worked perfectly when i just wanted to synchronise or browse files...but when i wanted to make the upgrade i got the same connection error at exactly the same point.
Sticking the cable DIRECTLY into one of the PCs USB-ports solved the problem.
Ok,last night i tried the unlocker myself.
I put the cable directly into one of the ports of my PC...and got that connection error!
Tried to reinstall WM6-which,as mentioned in my post above had worked...still connection error.
Disconnectedt the USB from my pc,and simply put it back in a different port.
WM6 installation worked,and unlocking the phone afterwards worked,too.
No connectin errors anymore.
So this definitely is some sort of USB connection error.
Just try different ports.
I was upgrading my TELUS HTC P4000 with Hard-SPL-MFG.exe. I connected my phone to my pc via USB and followed instructions. The I executed the file from my pc and was able to get the process going for the upgrade. After a few clicks, the application said the task was "Finished" after 30 sec, even though at the beginning it read that it would take 5 - 10 min. Anyways, I disconnected my USB and rebooted my phone. All I got was the same tri colours and the message :-
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
with RUUNBH at the top-right and Serial 1 at the bottom.
Though there a few solutions which are available on the forums, my challenge is that there is since I am not being able to connect the phone via the USB I cant use those other solutions.
I am running XP SP2, I have rebooted the PC, I have changed various options in MS-ActiveSync, however all to no avail. I have even hard booted the phone, but defaluts back to the message "above" after rebooting.
Does this situation have a solution or is my phone, "bricked" ?
Would appreciate some feedback.
does it still say Serial when you plug in the USB after you have restared your PC? (sorry as the devine n00b its my job to ask the nub questions)
Negative. When I connect it to a USB it actually changes from Serial to USB.
Also, when I open MS-Activesync then File then select Connection Settings and then hit "Connect" (With allow USB connections), the response comes back as having USB is available, however the connection does not allow any data transfer thus I cant initiate some of the other solutions which have been recommended (such as run Titanunlocker.bat etc).
Thanks
Looks like you are ok
Sounds like you should be able to run any DCD ROM/radio or the Sprint ROM because it seems to be doing what we want to see after the unlocker is loaded up good.
Madman, That's very interesting. How would i run DCD ROM/radio or the Sprint ROM on the phone, if I phone is not responding to hot/cold boots, pressing the buttons together (pwr+camera etc) and the USB cable does not allow data transfer b/w the PC and camera ? I am lost.
your phone will accept data.
sometimes it akes a couple tries but it will flash.
just run the ruu and it should connect to the phone.
activesync is not used at this point.
sometimes going into activesync and disableing usb will help the ruu connnnect to the phone.
just flash with ruu containing your upgraded rom. I thought the same thing when i did my P4000. you just hafto run the sprint update next and make sure you DONT tap the screen to calibrate. just hard reset and run DCDs or A1s ROM in RUU
Thanks. That has done the trick. Now I do have a functioning device again with has been flashed, I can't seem to find the location to ensure that the GPS has been is set to “On” instead of Emergency Only. Have not been able to find that menu. Other than that, slowly testing other applications and connecting to MS-Exchange soon....
I dont think the GPS is enabled on the flashed device. Still looking for clues and answers !
If you flashed with dcd's rom then GPS is enabled by default....take a few minutes and search the forums, read the GPS threads and you'll find your answers
Thanks. That did the trick. D/L Google maps, played around for 5 min and got GPS to work ! It rocks. Thanks to all on the forum !
