i tried to install the latest At&t ROM and i got an error asked me to try and recover it but when i try to recover it it still give me an error message and now my phone is stuck on the bootloader screen it says IPL-1.00 SPL-1.40.Olipro can someone please help me get this out of bootloader mode...i tried reseting it or tried other ROM's but nothing will work....TIA
i can't even get my pc to recongnize that my 8525 is connected to the USB port....
EDIT: I got my PC to see my 8525 by unchecking the USB connections in ActiveSync....
I think this is a crosspost from the HardSPL receovery thread, so I will just answer it here.
Manually put phone in bootloader mode.
Plug into USB
Run RUU to start ROM install
Manaually select your SPL version
Ignore warning in red letters on next screen
Flash away.
(Do not mix up the first two steps - put in bootloader, THEN plug into USB)
If this does not not work, use SD Card flashing method.

I'm trying to flash the hardspl bootloader onto my 8525..
When I connect my phone to my PC, activesync sees it fine... I follow the guide to flash the bootloader, go through all the motions, it does it's thing, and then I get an error (#260) that the program cannot connect to the phone..
What the hell? I've tried searching here, but none of the searches turn up relevant info
I'm sorry for the typical question and thread!I did everything but without result,
for this reason i've decided to make a post
so as i said on title i'm stuck on boot screen,to let you understand
the screen with 4 colors,red,green,blue,white.Now here the point,it seems that i can't resume my phone
from that screen!I've tried as is written here "format a microSD card with FAT32
extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your microSD card
put microSD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold Ok button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
confirm flashing on screen" but it was useless,nothing happend,when i push the left button ok
and at the same time power and soft reset,the screen change color become gray and appear a write "Loading...."and some numbers above 00068002
to return invain at the beginning screen.I don't know what i wrong and if is there another way to resume it,obviously my activesync don't work.
Here others informations if it can be useful for someone about my boot screen
Red stripe there's written: HERM200 I PL-1.01
HERM200 SPL-1.11
White stripe: Serial
does anyone had my same problem???
Please help me i really need my phone because my work
Thanks a lot
Try flashing from the computer - just start with the phone in Bootloader mode, select force using SSPL and flash whatever ROM you like. Give it a try.
Thanks for the answer!But i've already tried that way without success,maybe bcause there's not connection with the activesync,could be possible?In fact when i try appear an error wich says
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
THE UPDATE Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone.
Check the following:
1.The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable.

This should switch to USB once you plug it in...
Give us a little more info now please:
* what file are you trying to flash
* what RUU are you using
* have you tried connecting with mtty (if you get in, try task 28)
* have you trried hard reset
Just to be clear on my previous post...
1. Put phone in BL mode
2. NOW plug phone into computer (that order is important)
*Phone should now say USB*
3. Launch CustomRUU (should not be a retail RUU)
4. Flash
Dear todd_jg,
first of all thanks to be interesting about my problem,
second yes my phone switch to serial in usb mode,
-regarding the RUU i don't have any idea about it!
-Can u post the right RUU that i should use please?
-Never tryed mtty
-Yes i've tried with hard reset but without result,it send me back to the boot screen
-I did exactly as you said but it was invain!
Use the RUU file from THIS THREAD
Get the nbh file
Drop it into a folder with the RUU
Launch the RUU
Whichever nbh is ok???

Yes, but if you continue to have problems, you may wish to try a different one or at least post a link where you found it...
I got it!I'm trying right now!I'll let u know immediately!Thanx
Fu.. nothing to do....
here what it said
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
THE UPDATE Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone.
I think that the problem is the connection between the Cpu and the Pda.

Alright - lets try a task 28 with mtty
You will need to find mtty first (should be a link in the wiki or use search).
The tricky part is getting mtty to see the USB connection... I get it by doing the following
1. With the phone in BL mode and mtty closed, plug it in to the USB
2. Using ActiveSync, manuallyt tell it to check for connected devices (this will get it to start polling the ports)
3. While ActiveSync is still polling the ports, open mtty
4. Where it says connect using... or port... or something like that, you should find USB001 or something like that - something with USB in the name. If you don't see it - try steps 1-3 a few times.
Once you have seen the port, you can connect to the phone. The wiki has some instructions for getting to the USB prompt in mtty. Once you are there you want to issue the task 28. See if that helps.
Here is the link to the wiki - a link to mtty is there and some directions. Good luck.
Ok here what i obtained with mtty
Cmd>task 28
Storage format start
Write Nand Success
dwBlockToWrite = 14
Can't find OS in flash!!!
Storage format success
and now?

Well I was trying to upgrade mt niki to 6.1 but apparently I must have missed a step or did something I shouldt have and now I am stuck with the color bar screen. Can anything be done? I am running Vista.
tri-colour = Bootloader
The tri colour screen is the boot loader screen, when you updated, did the progress bar go allll the way to 100%?
If so, its in bootloader, try to flash another rom from you computer,
Also run through what you done to update - What rom also. Did you hard-spl, Uspl or anything like that?
It stopped at 15%. These are the directions I was following:

5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
8. you can now flash the uspl by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. Now you can flash the latest rom update to have spl 1.22 and wm6.1.
ouch, Thats the only problem with sspl,
urmm.
How long did it stay at 15%?
As the device isn't CID unlocked you can only flash official roms...
Find an official rom, in the bootloader connect the USB and see if it will flash. It should do!
fingers crossed..
the only rom I can find for singtel in singapore is an updated one so I am trying that now so far so good, I am at 30%. So if this will get me going again can you offer a little advice or explination as to your last post, how do I go about loading a newer 6.1 rom on my device?
Of course, thats what these forums are for. The singapore rom shouldn't hassle you tooo much if you know your way around Windows mob well enough. Let me know how it goes and i'll help you through..

yeah Windows live messenger, add me [email protected]
sorry to hijack your thread, but I encountered exactly the same thing. The screen is now stuck with 3 colour bands. I tried to flash it with an official rom, but the computer is not connecting with the phone, active sync does not recognise the device, any help!?
this is what I did:
1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
8. running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
Sorry for the non prompt reply
I have been at work alot lately,
sorry for a non prompt reply.
Active sync wont connect to your phone, as its in bootloader mode.
At the tri-colour screen, does you computer beep when you connect it, or try to install drivers?
thanks for replying!
no beep from the computer, when connecting the usb to the phone, the phone changes from "serial" to "usb".
I tried reflashing with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki, it will work, but says fail and will go into recovery mode. It will then complete the "recovery" action and go back to flashing new rom which won't work.......
The same ocurred with me!! Help me!

You need to flash an original ROM from your service provider (phone company).
I am trying to flash from the bootloader to recover from an installation error on my Fuze. I've entered into the tricolor bootloader screen by holding down Vol.down and reset. Now, when I plug the phone into the computer, the computer recognize the phone as a Qaulcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, and is trying to install a driver for it (which it cannot find.) When I run the Custom_RUU, it does not find my Fuze and is showing a ERROR[260]: Connection.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to find a driver for Qualcomm first? I searched, and it seemed that when you enter bootloader to flash, it is suppose to say USB at the bottom. Mine says Serial. Does that matter?
If more information is needed to troubleshoot:
SPL is SPL-1.90.OliNex
Phone is unlocked by using Olinex's unlocker
Rom was EnergyRom 3.0 Phoenix 51909
Problem was caused because I tried to install Studio Kuma Traditional Chinese Fonts on it. That program works flawlessly on a WM6.1. Of course, Energy 3.0 are WM6.5, hence causing the problem.
Any assistance is very appreciated.
Try sd card flashing
You have connect your device to your USB port and let it find the drivers. In order for it to download the drivers, you must have Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
Once you have one of those downloaded, launch it and connect the device while it is running normally. Opt to connect via Activesync on your phone. You don't have to have these running in the future but you need it to find the drivers and install them. Leave the Activesync connection intact while you run the Flash program.
Once the phone reboots in bootloader mode, the PC will probably download some more drivers. The Flasher will probably time out while the drivers are being downloaded and installed. Keep trying.
Once the bootloader drivers are downloaded and installed, try to run the Flasher program again. Sometimes you'll need a reboot if something is hung up.
You SHOULD be able to reboot, put the phone in bootloader mode (Down + Power + Reset) and it should change "SERIAL" into "USB". Once it displays "USB" you are good to go. Load up the Flasher program and it should go all the way through without the assistance of ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center.
I always flash in bootloader mode, I just know the initial pairing is rough.
Well, I flashed from sd card, and the phone is working now. Thanks for everyone's replies.
Hey guys, as the title suggests....im having trouble
Trying to update my ROM.
Active sync works fine, up to the point I have to run the RUU and .nbh files, it just drops out and then i get the error 266 coming up.....asking me to check the cable etc.
Tried different USB ports and leads with no joy.
Strange one this, as I have updated my ROM before (around a year ago) with no trouble.
Help very much appreciated.
marlon32, ActiveSync has nothing to do with flashing process,
Enter bootloader mode (switch off, press & hold Volume down, switch on), than connect to the USB cable.
The word Serial on tricolor screen will be changed for USB.
Now start RomUpdateUtility....

I have also tried this method, but the nothing happens.
When in bootloader mode and the USB cable connected, it is not able to recognise what Image is already on my phone. Even if i click next it fails again with the error 266 msg.
I thought I understood that active sync had to be established first?
Im following these instructions:
FIRST TIME FLASH
1. Remove SD (and remove Application Data and Program Files folders from it using SD card reader)
2. Remove HSPL with HSPL2_RUN.exe (flash SPL 1.66.0000 with HSPL2_RUN.exe)
3. PowerOff the phone
4. Boot to bootloader (VolDown+PowerOn) and when it shows "USB" flash stock ROM by running matching RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe (get yours HERE or for Orange UK/FR HERE)
5. Hard Reset (when phone starts booting after step 4, remove the battery, insert it back press VolUp+VolDown and still holding both press PowerOn and follow the instructions)
6. Boot to homescreen.
7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v4X RUU_Signed_XXXX.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.
8. Hard reset (instructions in step 5)
9. when on homescreen - softreset.
10. Insert SD

You're going about things in a strange manner, using hspl.exe to set a stock spl and then using sspl to flash the rom? Pretty non standard, what are you aiming for? My guess is you are using outdated instructions from before Hspl4 was released to handle spl/hspl 3.03 (just a guess, of course)
Stabdard flashing a 3.14 rom would go as follows,
Phone into bootloader(forget actuvesync)
Run Hspl4.exe, choose 3.03.hspl
Back into bootloader,
Run the Artemis flash using custom ruu .
Done.
It won't show the current installed image because that is a simple registry entry and is only accessible when winmo is running, but when winmo is running the USB times out when the ruu reboots into bootloader,sim that's why we manually enter bootloader.
(I haven't checked in the Artemis thread as to if there's a reason why his rom wouldn't follow standard proceedures, but I did use exactly your process prior to Hspl4 release)
Thanks for the reply.
What the issue seemed to be (after reading other threads) is that mu laptop is USB 3 and no HTC programme does not like it!
When i used an older laptop everything was fine flashing HSPL 3.03.
Out of interest is it true that USB 3 does not programme correctly?
