Dear friends
I was tring to upgrade my iMate Pocket PC also know as Himalaya with windows2003 SE , while upgrading I faced problems, the upgarde failed and now I am just getting no display and OS too. The only message displayed is
Serial
v1.03
nothing is working please help
bye with regrads,
your unit is still okay; even better that the usb version is showing on the screen. it's simply stuck on bootloader mode. what kind of problems did you encounter resulting in the failed upgrade?
one suggestion i can give before you downgrade is to try and proceed with the upgrade to se. put your unit back on the cradle but don't expect activesync to "recognize" the device. just put it back on the cradle and rerun the upgrade to se.
same thing happened when i upgraded but to wm2005. the screen showed error and the only thing on the screen was the usb version. i simply cradled back the unit and ran the upgrade. worked.
cheers
Hi

thanks a lot

oh, it appears that you have the "wrong country" id issue. i'm not entirely sure as to how to avoid this but i believe it has something to do with the correct rom version (guys, correct me if i'm wrong). where did you get the rom you used for upgrading to se? downgrading might be the only trick if there is no rom for saudi-based users...but if any chaps presently living there and were successful in upgrading their units perhaps you could share the rom version/s you used?
cheers

To overcome the Country ID Error, first you need to install this tool...
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Tools/ER2003Edit_1_4_26.zip
Open the ROM file you want to upgrade, then change the appropriate 'Operator ID' code, after this click 'Save ROM image'.
Upgrade ur device. You will no longer face the error message.
I have tried many times to upgrade the Rom Image on my HTC Tytn (Cingular 8525) with no success. I am getting a 260 error with the program located at this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
I did first run the unlocking application to unlock both SIM and CID before running the upgrade.
I followed all the steps exactly and have had no success...
The following might be effecting my attempt:
I am running my pc on Vista
I am syncing with Windows Mobile Device Center
I have tried to solve this problem for about two weeks. Can anyone help me?
Mrvanx has a guide on how to prepare Vista for flashing, you can find it here.
This information still did not work. I get a 260 error even after updating the driver, which I did not do until now.
After investigating furthur I have realized what the error is:
As soon as the RUU says "Verifying Information on your PDA Phone..." the second time and forces the device to enter bootloader, the usb connection is lost between the device and the pc. Investigating furthur, the connection to my tytn is lost every time I enter bootloader, whether it is by Power+OK+SoftReset or forced by RUU. Does anyone know how to fix this bootloader connection problem?
Same problem

Use the RUU wrapper with the NBH file you want to upgrade.
I still have the same issue, even when using the RUU Wrapper and any nhb.
don't use vista
Ok, got one step furthur
I reached the point where the ROM Begins to update, which is VERY good...
The ROM update Reaches 1%, then waits for 20 minutes...
Then I get a 262 error and have to go through recovery, try again, with the same result.

Have you tried removing or adding a checkmark to the USB to PC in CONNECTIONS on your device? I remember having a similar problem when I installed Radio Rom 1.38 that my USB connection was lost with the pc . I am using XP when flashing so if you have no luck then do this on a XP machine.
Forgot to ask! What ROM are you trying to flash??
@compwiz2008 and ahmerpar
I read somewhere that running windows update will update WMDC........maybe give that a shot?
Maybe you can try to upgrade your ROM from your SD card.
Nope
Let me try that...
Still did not work
I'm probably going to just take my phone to a computer repair shop and pay them to deal with it, since I'm evedently doing something wrong.
Alright so I am so frustrated with this...and I am sure there is a simple solution for it. The screen on my old 8525 got messed up and since it was under waranty they sent me a replacement...the screen is ok on the replacement, but the phone isn't working (shows exclamation point next to "wine glass" rather than signal strength bars).... after hours and several phone calls to tech support, High End Devices waranty dept and who knows where else, it was determined that the current ROM version is incompatible with the AT&T network, I have to upgrade. So the version of the ROM on the replacement is 2.15.502.3 which makes wonder why in the world would AT&T send me a phone that would not work on their network? (I'm really trying not to vent here...) Anyways so I go to the HTC website as directed by the Tech. Support person download the stuff and after another hour on the phone with HTC and every possible sollution that they know is tried still can't install. I am running a Vista 64 machine and after getting around all the Vista quirks I am finally able to get to the Bootloader screen (button combination is: Side button [Ok] + [Power] Then push [Reset]...if done correctly your phone goes to the 4 bar boot loader screen, if not your phone soft resets and you have to try it again...) anyways in the bootloader screen it goes to the installation bar on both phone and PC and goes to 1%, then durring that one percent I get the horrible "ERROR 294 : INVALID VENDOR ID" on the PC and the Phone resets.....No matter how we have tried it it is always the same thing...redownloaded the file 3 times, restarted the phone about a gazillion times and the PC about 2 or 3 times. What can I do? I would love to have Ms Windows Mobile 6, but all I really want is a working phone....can anyone please help?
Some more info for those of you that can help:
On "Device Information" screen here is what I have:
ROM version: 2.15.502.3
ROM Date: 04/09/07
Radio version: {blank}
Protocol version: {blank}
On Bootloader screen:
In the top (red) section:
(in white)
HERM100
IPL-1.03
(in yellow)
HERM100
SPL-1.11
and then at the bottom (white) section:
(in black)
USB
(it says Serial when I unplug the USB cable)
I am trying to install the ROM titled:
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
downloaded from:
http://216.139.227.230/download/Sof...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
found by going to http://www.htc.com, Support, AT&T 8525, Software Download.
Thank you for any help you can give.
u cant be serious......you got an invalid model ID from an 8525 while trying to install an update from at&t itself.
well the solution would simply be to install hardspl (see the sticky) and then install the update. although there are many other easier and faster solutions i think this is the *safest* way. but then the fact that your radio version shows nothing makes me wonder......maybe a corrupted radio or something, which may or may not be related to the invalid model ID error.......anywho, search the forums for error 294 its probably been discussed many times
First of all thanks for your help. So I tried installing the 2.10 - Hard-SPL-V7 and it wont finish the install. I connect the device follow through the installation and when I get to the point where I push Yes on the 8525 the screen goes to the red/green/blue/white bars screen shows
HERM100
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
then the Computer shows ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR and the installation stops....
error 260 is an open port error, reboot your computer, and try again, if it doesnt work, try a different usb port, also disable watever firewalls or antivirus software you have
Okay so I diabled both the firewall (Windows Firewall) and the antivirus (AVG) and restarted the computer...tried 3 different USB ports...still the same problem....You don't think it could have anything to do with Windows Vista 64 and Windows Mobile Device Center. BEcause as soon as I go into the new Bootloader screen, the WMDC shows that the 8525 is diconnected now...even though it's not. I saw a post on here about installing drivers to get Active Sync on a Vista machine, but the drivers it provides are unsigned and Vista won't let me load them....so what's the next step? And again thank you so much for your help.
Is there any use in putting more effort into this or should I just have AT&T send me a new one?
whether there's any use left is ur decision, dont ask me to help you make your decision.
i know you can install unsigned drivers on vista, i dont know how, use the search. i have also heard that updating wmdc to the latest version helps too.
or you can either try and install hardspl using the microsd card, again use the search.
Hey guys...sorry if this has been covered. I tried searching the forums and can't seem to find anything on it.
All of the roms seem to be plug it in, install it and BLAM, you're ready to go.
My issue is that I get a communication error everytime I try to install any roms or the HardSPL. The exact error given is "The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the error so you can continue with the update."
While performing the updates, I hear the sound as if my USB disconnects, then it reconnects after it restarts into the multi-colored screen. It shows "Security disabled" at the top of the screen. It proceeds to the loading bar and just sits at 0% until it comes up with the disconnect screen.
I'm using the HTC Touch Pro running WM6.1 on the Sprint network.
Again, sorry if this has already been discussed, I just couldn't find anything on it.

Your phone's cdma. This is a gsm forum. I'm assuming that you're trying to brick your phone with the gsm hard spl and not trying to flash the proper hard spl. Stop doing that, your phone is getting pissed at you. Go to ppcgeeks or the cdma (Herman, not Raphael) forum here.
haha leave it to me to find the wrong way to do something. I appreciate your heads up Ted!

What is the problem with the RUU update?
I have searched for a solution to the RUU update/upgrade problem; none so far. Apparently, it is a major issue. I am interested in upgrading my Windows CE on my Xperia 6.1 to 6.5. I must have tried over a dozen times. The update process stops at 0% and Error [262] is reported. What can we do to resolve this? Is it compatibility or scalability issue? is it a problem with the software? The fact that it is working for some . . . and not for others is a source of concern about the stability of the software and this has potential implications; or it may well have to do with the hardware limitations of the PDA. Any ideas of a workaround?
You might try the Experia forum. You also might want to try Experia Roms.
I used to experience this issue as well. I simply go into communications and hit the USB to PC connection. Then remove the advanced functionality check. This has resolved many of the communication errors when playing with ROMS. This has been true with both GSM and CDMA devices.
I can confirm the issue. I have a 1st day release Fuze and flashed HardSPL no problem and have been making my roms ever since. But my cousin just got his new AT&T Fuze through his company and it refuses to HardSPL.
I went through several versions of the HardSPL and tried installing new drivers for the phone while in bootmode... all with no luck.
When connected through Activesync or Mobile Center, running the HardSPL brings up a confirmation windows on the phone, allowing reboots the device. It gets stuck at the black screen and times out. I've tried manually putting the phone in bootmode and trying it, but never gets past 0%.
I wonder if newer model TouchPro's are coming out with a revised bootloader?
Dunno if i can link to another forum. If not, appolgize and Admins remove the link than please.
For the 262 error, look here:

Yes they are coming with a new bootloader. I just got my phone replaced from ATT and the new one came with 1.95 version while originals were 1.90. There is no HARD-SPL out for 1.95.
The way to do it now is to flash an old original AT&T rom with the 1.90 bootloader (since it's original, it won't require HardSPL). Then go ahead and everything should work as described in this forum/wiki.
Interseting. Sounds like a winner. Next time he comes around I'll try this.
Any idea where I can get a AT&T older rom that has the 1.90 HardSLP on it? I am having the same issue with the Error 262 update error.
Thanks

You should probably go to your ATT store and tell them you'd like to get the official Hard SPL update.
I am really struggling with this. Do I have to the FLASH HardSPL or can I just go straight to the flashing my preferred ROM. I can not get get the FLASH HardSPL to work because of this Error 262. Please someone tell me where I am going wrong with this!!!! I am bout to pull my last hair out!

If u want to use not the official rom made for ur provider and phone, hardspl is the only way. Any custom rom needs hardspl. Otherwise ur phone will not accept the rom.
But look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
and flash the stock 1.90 SPL first, then u are ready for hardspl.
Description how to do stock spl is in this thread. Its normally meant for going back to stock for repair, but it should also solve ur issue.
NOT SHURE BECAUSE IN THE CDMA SECTION, IS UR PHONE CDMA OR GSM. MY SOLUTIUON IS FOR GSM !!!!!!
U SHOULD CHANGE THE POSTING SECTION IF ITS GSM !!!!!
Try doing the HardSPL in a Windows XP machine (needs .NET Framework 2.0 and ActiveSync). Goodluck.
i had the same problem as you and i maybe have a solution for you
go to your usb settings and look if you have a check box saying something about advanced networking. if it is indeed checked uncheck it and your problem will be gone hopefully
i did it on my telus touch pro and i am now able to upgrade my phone to winmo 6.5
Hello,
I have a big problem. I flashed my HTC Touch Dual (Swisscom XPA Touch Dual with Italian language) with SSPL first. Then I forgot to flash the device with uSPL or HardSPL and a new ROM (official HTC wm6.1 German) was failed in the middle. Now I have the "upgrade rom code error". Flashing the HardSPL or uSPL is imposible now, bcause of the "ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR". I can't find the original ROM (swisscom italian) for the device, all other official ROMs brake with the error " ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID" (because there is no HardSPL / uSPL, right?). I have USB connection in bootloader mode (can go there only, the operator system is lost) but in the device manager there is MICROSOFT USB SYNC and not HTC USB SYNC (can't identificate the device, only as a "Qualcomm..." in "devices and printer (WIN 7 x64). I have done all the steps for "drivers for WIN 7" and tried it on a (virtual) WIN XP with the same results. Is there a way to save the system with mtty (it's too difficult for me) or other processes?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my english) !!!
P.S.: I looked at google and other threads in this forum, but without results

-Please use the 'Search' function first, and check the manuals already made available for the Niki.
-First read the manuals completely and follow the steps meticulously..!
-Before posting your questions, remember that everything you need to know, to flash your device, is probably already made available for you on the board.
-Take your time to find out what you need to know before you flash your device, or you 'will' brick it..!
Hello ebsbow,
I got it after two days full of desperation! Mtty was the solution. Two simple commands like "set 16 0" and "task 8" and my device was ready for flashing again. But now step by step.
I have a new ROM on it. Great!
I have same problem plz help....

Always showing bootloader screen with rom upgrade error
I was trying to revert to windows custom rom from android (due to frequent freezing) and then onwards booting the phone I am always getting the bootloader screen displaying rom upgrade error.
I tried hard reset but still the same problem persists, then I downgraded the HSPL 2.08 to SPL-1.42.HSPL and then tried reinstalling the custom rom but still the same problem persists. In between after downgrading the HSPL, I tried task 29, it was unsuccessful after 96% (shows Invalid Command (Error 290)), while reinstalling the customRUU I have, I got something like error 270 at the end (it goes fine till 100%).
I also tried with installing the radio (ver 2.15.50.14) in between but to no effect
Please help me in fixing the issue, my phone is of no use now
