Ok...I have been through all the posts about upgrading etc. I still have a problem and I'm sure that I'm overlooking something....but I can't figure it out on my own. Here is what is happening (it does the same thing with every RUU that I've used...the DST fix...upgrading to WM6....etc)
1. I run the RUU and let it go through its routine (extract files, verify info on pc, etc.)
2. I check the box that says I have read the readme and click next
3. The next screen appears and it has the following steps:
Connect to the USB cable (check)
Establish an ActiveSync Connection (check)
Disable standby and hibernation on PC (check)
Make sure batter is > 50% (check)
Then I check the box and click next
4. I pick the update and click on the update button
5. I verify that I want to upgrade my phone from ROM verion x.xx.xxx to x.xx.xxx and click next
6. The program tells me that I am finally ready to update...and if I am sure I want to proceed to click next...so I click next
7. As soon as I click next...the progress bar comes up on my pc and my phone goes into standby mode (no bootloader...just standby). The progress bar never moves.
8. After a minute or two the RUU give me the ERROR [260]: Connection
9. I reboot my device and repeat steps 1-8
10. I reboot my device and my computer and repeat steps 1 - 8.
Now if I leave my device connected to the usb and close out the RUU after it gives me the ERROR [260], and then run the RUU again...when it is first verifying the information on my pc (before it asks any questions and before it tells me to connect my device) it will throw the device into bootloader mode. If I try to keep running the RUU while the device is in bootloader mode it give me the error that my device is not connected. I have tried and tried...maybe one of ya'll can help me. Thanks in advance

Some questions:
.) Is your desktop PC running XP or Vista?
If you have a firewall running, close it.
.) If you running Vista check this guide:

.) What updates did you try to flash?
.) Did you install Olipros bootloader first?

XP
No firewall
I tried to flash the WM6 from AT&T I assume its beta
and no did not install the Olipros bootloader
Ok...I think I found out how to do this...Ya'll can tell me if I'm screwing something up.
I go through all the steps listed above until it gets to the progress screen. When it gets there I manually put the the device in bootloader mode (Power, side ok, and reset). Once I do this...the progress bar starts moving. I will let you know if this works...
Hmmmm
Its not the way it should work but if it works its ok
You should have installed Olipros HardSPL first and then try to flash an official rom. If its working then something with your download is wrong.
What ROM is on there now?
Has the phone been CID unlocked?
Oli's CustomRUU is better, you may want to unpack the ROM and put the NBH in a folder with Oli's RUU and then do the upgrade.
BTW, gerald_s is right, you should not have to do that... what you may want to do is put the phone in Bootloader mode manually (while not connected to the PC), then plug in the USB, then start the RUU. That helps some people with 260 error.
I've got the same damn issue... it's driving me crazy. I had this occur when I flashed my Hermes100 from the stock version to Custel's. After about 15 starts and reboots it took. I'm now trying to get to Vp3G's 3.60 and it continues to give me the 260 error.
I am trying to figure out how to fomat my micro, but really hoping to find a solution over cable.

SPL - 2.10 Olipro
Any suggestions?
You may be trying to flash a rom that includes the radio rom. What is your device? Is it possible that your device is a new x01ht with radio 1.14 and radio bootloader 0182? If yes, then you will get this error when you try to flash a rom with this method because during the flash it will be disconnected by the radio bootloader because it is not overwriteable. If you flash using the NBH file on the microSD, it will skip past radio and radio boot and just flash the other parts of the file.

If you are running windows XP, just connect the card to the computer, open MY COMPUTER, right-click the removable disk that is your microSD and then click format. Default in windows xp is to format using FAT32 filesystem which is perfect.
The thing is... if you dont know how to format a drive in Windows, should you be flashing your device yourself?
Which Solution???
I've got a Softbank X01HT with:
S/N: HT639
SuperCID <--- result of checking by mtty
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10Olipro
GSM: 1.47.00.10
OS: 3.54.07 WWE
I tried to flash with new Schap 3.54c but the process would not be done coz ERROR 262 or ERROR 302. Fortunately, after failure of flashing, my device is still normal running. Then I tried to flash radio 1.51.00.10 but I got the same above. Once again, I have just tried to flash splash screen and I got the same result too. It mean my device can not upgrade anything !
Anybody here show me a solution that help my device to become a normal device, I mean it will be able to flash anything ROM as it would be! Don't tell me READ and READ, I had read so much . And don't tell me use MTTY again SPL1.01MFG, I think that is a final solution

I forgot to tell that, I had flashed through extra memory card yet, and could be done!
But I wanna flash ROM against CustomRUU through MS Active Sync as I had used before. Can you help me
i have a problem very similar to Chris. when i check the box "yes activesync is syncronised", and then the progressbar shows up and the phone goes into standby.
i've turned standby of in powermanagement options.
my os is XP
i use active sync v4.5
and this is first time i try this.
i've read something about this bootloader, i can get there but then i cannot sync with active sync. so i kinda stuck.
have been searching the forums and this was the same problem as mine but i don't understand your solutions.
//KufrA
--Problem solved--
i did all things without activesync,
1. start phone in bootloader
2. do the install
3. wait 0% to 100%, and done.
is there a problem with active sync or why do i have to do anything with it at all?

Apparently, I'm pretty stupid.
I just got the Cingular 8525; I have spent two hours on this site.
Things I've noticed:
One page says go into bootloader; one page says not to allow usb connections.
I do not know if I am supposed to have my non-Cingular SIM card already in the phone when attempting to do anything.
I have seen connect via USB and use mtty (with what settings do I use when I click on USB from the dropdown menu (if any) and do I connect with mtty via USB in bootloader or when the phone has booted into Windows 5.0 and again what about the non-Cingular SIM card?).
I have flashed my computers BIOS several times but I do not understand how to flash this phone based on the myriad of instructions all over this site (and RFTW did not help which is why I am here with 40000000 questions).
The steps to go from SPL 1.06 to an unlocked SIM/CID phone are?
Things I do understand:
I have SPL 1.06 (I know this from bootloader).
I must downgrade to 1.04 from 1.06 then run the upgrade to 1.06 from the Hermes Upgrade wiki page (I already downloaded all of the Cingular files).
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
I unlocked my 8525 last week, I had bootloader 1.06 so I downgraded to a ROM with boetloader 1.04(you can find it here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades ).. then just follow the instructions in the zip file you downloaded(i used HERM_Unlock_v2a), which are:
1. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 this unlocker will not work, please wait for the next version]
2. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
3. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
4. Wait patiently.
5. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
7. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
8. Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
9. You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
10. Process is (hopefully) complete!
11. If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978
I assume I want go to 1.04 for Cingular which is 1.30.502.1.
What about my SIM card? Is it supposed to be in phone when I run this file? (it's a t-mobile sim).
I assume the activesync connection via usb is okay? I cannot get it to connect (even though the phone is on and booted into Windows 5.0); is this because I have not inserted the SIM card into the phone? Note: after I unplugged the device, setting allow USB connections on the device in the ActiveSync settings, then plugging it back in, it connected via USB in ActiveSync (4.2). However, I just got a box saying the version of ActiveSync is not compatible with this mobile device. This occured after I started the installer and it showing Verifying the information on your PDA phone.
I received an update error 260 since it thinks the phone is not connected via USB (and I noticed the ActiveSync icon in the system tray is gone).
I went to check the M$ page to see if there is a later download; there is not. Then, the AS icon return (trying to update outlook, install nero mobile) so I decided to run the installer again and now sees my current version 1.34.502.1 and I have the option to upgrade ROM

It is ok, but generally it causes more problems than it helps. Best is to disable the checkbox that says "enable usb connections" on activesync settings and you'll see the icon on the system tray turn gray with a red "X". Then you need to start the RUU when the device is in bootloader mode (tri-color screen). After you have upgrded the rom (or radio rom) you can reenable activesync again if you want.

Icon was gone because RUU checks your current rom version using activesync and then kills it an put device in bootloaer mode. If RUU cannot kill activesync correctly errors happen:
You will avoid the 260 error if you disable usb connections on desktop activesync as I told you, and start the upgrade in bootloader mode... only difference you'll notice is that RUU will not report your current rom version.
Hey. I left the RUU software running (the 25+ minute variety) while I went to buy a case and care charger. I came back and evidently, the phone had rebooted because, it is at the Windows Mobile screen to setup the Windows Mobile device. I assume it is safe to do the 2a software. After that, am I able to update the RUU back to 1.06?
Thanks for your help, Milan and pof!
I rebooted into bootloader to confirm successful downgrade to 1.04 from 1.06 and it was. The RUU software from the upgrade page for Cingular appears to have been successful.
I am now going to attempt the 2a software.
Yes, now follow all the instructions on sim&cid unlocker v2a, and when finished, flash the cingular 1.34 rom again.

It's now on the upgrade screen to Radio 1.16.00.69 but it does not show the previous version. Is this normal? I have not pressed upgrade yet. I have the splitter with the AC and USB cables into the phone (currently in bootloader mode at SPL-1.04).
yes, it is normal... i told you before:

I got the 114 error as promised in the readme. I exited the program using the EXIT button.
The next step:
6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
On the phone display, it still shows Upgrade Radio Stack Please Wait..
The soft reset is the simultaneous OK and Power?
I just took the battery out and reset; it appeared to go okay. I copied the exe file to the phone and was able to run the file as in the readme. I then reset the phone, put in the t-mobile sim and it works.
Thanks much to POF and Milan for their straightforward approach. You can use this thread as a tutorial!
Is there any reason I should add the 1.06 file back to the unlocked 8525?
SPL 1.06 to SPL 1.04 back to SPL 1.06?
Hi:
I followed pof's (with pof's help) tutorial on how to unlock the Cingular 8525. I am currently at SPL 1.04 (downgraded form SPL 1.06) and had run the v2a software to unlock. It works great with T-mobile (I was a Cingular customer but made the switch).
My questions are:
Is there any reason to go back SPL 1.06?
If I do go back to SPL 1.06, it does not affect the unlock status of the SIM or CID?
I still am confused about the Radio and what that does in relation to the CID, SIM, or phone. I assume the Radio is affected the SPL version that you have?
I have tried to peruse through various pages regarding downgrading (the 13 page thread for example) to see if that question is answered.
The radio ROM controls the GSM/GPRS/UMTS hardware in your hermes. You cannot independently upgrade it unless you are running SPL 1.04. There is no reason IMO to go to any other bootloader version.

Oh okay, that clears up yet something else I did not understand
Thanks for the tip on the bootloader version; I will leave it at SPL 1.04.
That being said, I am currently in the middle of the Radio 1.20 thread; I have not finished reading it yet (I can only do so much at work before people wonder what I am doing). Have you upgraded to Radio 1.20? If not, what radio are you running and what do you think of its stability and/or functionality?
Thanks!
I'm running the 1.20 radio. It and the 1.35 TyTN ROM are the best combination I've used so far.
Ok, I've been trying to update my 8525 for hours...here is my problem. First, I tried to HardSPL-v7 but I kept getting an "Error [240] File open". I think this is preventing me from doing any ROM update. When I try to run the Cingular ROM update activesync shuts down and I get a connection error, I think it is "error [260]". I have wiped or cleaned out my 8525 so that I am back to day one. I have tried both ROM updates on 2 separate computers and I get same error messages on both computers. I have searched the Wiki's but have found nothing, so please help. As you can tell, I am a virgin to ROM updates so please go gently.
I should add, my present ver. ROM AKU 2.3 (1.34.502.7018.01H) SPL 1.06 IPL 1.01. Radio is 1.16.

Ok, I just tried it 2 more times, Hard-SPL. It flashes to the 8525 and goes into bootloader and shows the following "HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds" at this point activesync 4.5 shuts down the 8525 is stuck in bootloader (it never reboots) and after a few minutes I get "Error [260] Upated Error". Hard SPL shuts down and the 8525 is stuck in bootloader mode. At this point I have been disconnecting the USB cable and doing a soft reset, once the phone is on, I go into bootloader and the old info shows up SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01.
Let me have a think, firstly do you have the latest versions of the .net framework installed?
I was able to finally run HardSPLv7, I had to do it on another computer. Now, I would like to update to RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe. I assume I should use the same computer that I used to successfully run HardSPL. Do I need to rebuild the rom file with RUUWrapper.exe (CustomRUU by olipro) & Dutty's Good NBH Tool, before running the RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe update?

Off hand, the major difference would be Intel (worked) vs. AMD (failed) but I doubt that is the problem, you would be flooded with questions due to so many computers that have AMD chips. The USB cable was the same as well. I'll have to think about that...
Definatly check your "failed" computer is up to date with .net and everything else, most likely a software problem.
I have this problem as well..
AT&T 8525 windows moble 6 trying to install the hardspl v7.
v3.5 and 3.0 .net framework.
the RUUwrapper program gets to the 'verifiying info' screen then give me an erroe 240 message. 'the update utility can not open the requested file.'
any help would be great. Looking to add the touch it interface.

Read the post Hard SPL at the top of this forum and go to page 116 ( I believe its post #1160) and use the sd card method. You don't need to use the pc at all. I generally flasah ALL os's using the sd card method as it seems to be safer then using the usb method. No "sync errors" to deal with.
Cheers...
I have the exact same problem..
When it goes to tri-color screen, the USB connection goes off and windows will pop up the search for driver dialogue box.. then afterward another dialogue box will appear saying Error [260].
I tried restarting my pc and device (even removing the battery) but still failure
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

One thing that i have learned from flashing my 8525 is to remove any USB device except the 8525. This has worked for me.

But my mouse is on USB. I might try on different computer and post back the results.
UPDATE
I tried using my friend's laptop and it installed without a problem. I think the issue is with the .NET framework. I installed the latest one before flashing and it worked fine. Hmmm.. Im not sure about this tho.
Hello.... Try the sd card method. You don't need the computer...
Sorry if I sound condescending, but, I seem to find a lot of people saying that they have sync problems. Solution, Take the pc out of the equation (except to load files onto sd card). It is SOOO much safer then using the pc, no "sync" problems, no chance of usb being disconnected, reset button being hit or , worst case scenario, power failure...
You have to either have little or no battery power or MANUALLY hit the reset button with the stylus to stop the flash...
And thats my 2 cents....
Refer to post #13 to find out how to use sd card method to flash hard spl...
Cheers...
sd card method???
how?
Ok I have searched the forums pretty hard the last couple of days, and I have not found anyone that has the same issue as mine. It's not too big of a deal as everything operates but it is an issue all the same. This is all of course after I have succesfully ran HARD SPL v7 and upgraded to Black 3.0.1. Basically I decided to use POF's SuperCid Unlocker 3a (yes I know if I had HARD SPL 7 then why go through the trouble of Unlocking my CID, let's call it a need to mess with things) and everything went succesful. Then after the fact I read that it is still good even if you have SuperCID to upgrade the SPL to 2.10 and have read some peoples signatures and it appears that they have succesfully done this. Here is my issue;
When I run the CustomRUU it autodetects my SPL no problems, HARD-SPL? is checked, everything seems to go fine until it gets to the boot loader, once it is there, the progress bar pops up, zings to 100% and then reboots, cool? no because it didn't actually upgrade anything everything is still the same. Ok, so I tried the format SD card and rename *.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and put only it on the card, when I go to bootloader it does a quick flash to the screen like it recognizes the image but then goes to boot loader and nothing changes (the flash is so quick I can't even read whatever message it may be showing). I have tried pretty much every flashing method I can come across. MTTY wont recognize that I even have a USB port so I have been unable to try that method. So two questions:
I have SuperCID, so should I continue to even bother to get to 2.10?
If so, is there anything else I can try? Or do I need to get MTTY to work and try that as that is really the only thing left?
Thanks for any and all help anyone can provide.

Then after the fact I read that it is still good even if you have SuperCID to upgrade the SPL to 2.10 and have read some peoples signatures and it appears that they have succesfully done this. Here is my issue;
When I run the CustomRUU it autodetects my SPL no problems, HARD-SPL? is checked, everything seems to go fine until it gets to the boot loader, once it is there, the progress bar pops up, zings to 100% and then reboots, cool? no because it didn't actually upgrade anything everything is still the same. Ok, so I tried the format SD card and rename *.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and put only it on the card, when I go to bootloader it does a quick flash to the screen like it recognizes the image but then goes to boot loader and nothing changes (the flash is so quick I can't even read whatever message it may be showing). I have tried pretty much every flashing method I can come across. MTTY wont recognize that I even have a USB port so I have been unable to try that method. So two questions:
I have SuperCID, so should I continue to even bother to get to 2.10?
If so, is there anything else I can try? Or do I need to get MTTY to work and try that as that is really the only thing left?
Thanks for any and all help anyone can provide.

Did you look on the bootloader screen to see if your SPL changed? To my knowledge the only place you can see it is in the bootloader screen (tri-color screen) And flashing Olipro's Hard SPL only takes a couple seconds so it sounds to me like it is working as designed.
Or are you trying to flash a different rom? If so then try deleting everything you have in the directory you are using and re-downloading. You might have over-written the file you want to flash with the HardSPL one. You shouldn't be using the hard spl wrapper to flash a rom in any case, i believe that is mentioned in bold at the top of the Hard SPL thread.
Ok nevermind I was able to get it to work and MTTY was the answer. This is the 2 steps I had to follow:

Hi. I`ve finally found the way to connect mtty and run rom update utility in Vista. tested on rtm 6000.
First of all, connect your device when it`s in bootloader.
next, open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections.
next, goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity
next, goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one from AS 4, i attached it, wceusbsh.inf.
then, kill wmdc.exe with any taskmanager
You are Ready. run ruu or connect MTTY. I guess that vista default driver uses another port, not WCEUSBSH001, that`s why we have to use the old driver.

Then Do This:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
Flashing SPL-1.01 MFG instructions
Put hermes in bootloader mode (side ok + power button + softreset)
Connect Hermes to computer using USB cable.
Open mtty.exe, select "USB" from the dialog box, then hit Ok.
Hit enter twice and you'll see the "USB>" prompt.
Then type these commands: (note the use of 'lnb*s*')
USB>task 32
Level = 0
USB> lnbs SPL-1.01.nbs 50020000
USB> task 8
Device will reboot after this, with bootloader 1.01-MFG on it.
Once I was able to do all this I was succesfully at 1.01 at which point I ran the Custom RUU and upgrade to 2.10 without issue. Once again all right there in the forums, just had to be pieced together to find a solution.
Thank you all for all your dedication to these projects, you make owning a PDA more fun than I am sure was originally intended. I love messing with things.
I have also attached the necessary files from the original posts to perform this for anyone else facing this issue.

Cool, glad you got it working
Hi Folks,
I'm stuck in the tri-color screen for bootloader 1.06.
I have DCD 3.2.0 w/3.42.02 radio on the XV6800 and was trying to upgrade to radio 3.42.30. My system is Vista 32-bit.
I ran the Titan Relocker and it put SPL-1.06.0000 back onto the device and was planning on then putting 1.2 onto it.
Running titan_exitbl.exe says "Cannot open USB port. Please make sure, that USB connection in ActiveSync is disabled."
Unfortunately it is now stuck and even after ending the Sync Center service I can't get titan_exitbl.exe to pull it out of the Boot Loader.
Ideas? Thank you!
I could fire up an old XP laptop and try it from there.
Loaded ActiveSync 4.5 on an XP laptop, disabled USB connections, ran titan-exebl.exe and the device is booting now.
I'll continue on and see what else I can screw up.
Loaded SPL 1.20
Loaded 3.42.30
Loaded SPL 2.40
Device is back to working! Off to see if GPS is back after being lost with 3.42.02.
titan-exebl.exe
Where can I find titan-exebl.exe? Google doesn't turn up any results other than here?
titan_exitbl.exe
Never mind... just located it on my own hard drive!
Cheers!
Stuck on Bootloader
OK... I've tried titan_exitbl.exe, and it still doesn't work.
Here's my problem in chronological order:
1. I've been having a few problems (bugs) in my current custom ROM (PPC Kitchen 3.49 version), so I decided to re-flash to a stock ROM, see if the problems were fixed, and then try to flash back to a custom ROM.
2. I tried flashing to the Sprint 3.35 ROM. The RUU showed the progress bar on both my PC and the phone. But at 0%, I got a message saying "an error has occured" - or something to that effect.
3. I decided that the error was because I was running a custom ROM, and Sprint didn't like that. So I ran the Titan Relocker utility, thinking this would cure the problem.
4. I followed the steps on the screen and then got a message saying the relocker utility had completed successfully. The phone rebooted and went into the tri-color bootloader mode.
5. I retried the Sprint 3.35 ROM update, but got the same connection error, and the progress slider would never move from 0%.
6. I decided the phone had locked up and performed a reset with the stylus. The phone rebooted and went back into bootloader mode. The screen shows "TITA100 SPL-1.06.0000"
7. And that's as far as I've gotten. I've tried several hard resets using the buttons and the stylus together. I've tried removing the battery and reinstalliong... but the phone just goes back into bootloader mode.
I've tried both titan_exitbl.exe and UNI_Exitbootloader.exe, and neither utility seems to help. I get a message saying that "All data was sent... the phone will reboot now... please check your screen". The phone's screen blinks for a moment, and then returns to bootloader. Nothing can get it anywhere else.
I've tried different USB cables and ports. Activesync won't detect it, but the utility update software does.
When I run the Sprint 3.35 ROM update utility, I get an error at 11% saying "invalid vendor ID" and the update refuses to run. I tried to run the Titan Re-locker utility again, but it requires an ActiveSync connection. I've tried both enabling and disabling the USB connection in ActiveSync, but that seems to make no difference. The utility simply says no USB connection is available. The ROM update utilities will detect the device via USB - they just refuse to work with them.
I also tried running a DCD Tital 2.1.0 Bell ROM. The progress slider freezes at 0%, and then I get a message saying the RUU has encountered communication errors during the update. I've been through the recovery process the utiity suggests about a dozen times... it sill returns the phone to the bootloader screen.
So I'm getting pretty frustrated... does anyone have any ideas?
Try changing your spl back to 2.40.
Throwing it back into the tri color screen again and flash the sprint stock 3.35
But put it on the root of a fat32 formatted micro sd card in the flavor of under 2gb.
Just run the exe from your computer it will extract the files from the exe to some location on your computer, normally the ruu update folder.
There will be a ruu_sighned.nbh file locate it and copy it to the fat32 formatted card rename it TITAIMG.nbh
Let the phone boot into the bootloader and it should detect the file on the sd and update the rom for you, by stating loading ......
Then will prompt you to update press power key.
Sense you are not on sprint don't let the first time custimizations run ... pull battery once you get to your mobile today screen on first boot...
Use active sync or the sd method to update your rom to whatever you wanted originally.
Most full updates from carriers the ones that flash both the radio and rom will run regardless of the boot loader thats on the device.
Happy flashing
Just thought I'd toss in here that GPS does work, but I have to use GPS Viewer to get a lock on the satellites first.

Ok, but how run from windows? If i cant connect via activesyncs the phone is on SPL mode i cant out of that and the msdos windows say "No device conected" when press enter from windows i cant unlock. Any idea? I'll try 2.47 but how run from windows with the phone en SPL Mode?
Please read. I said run 2.4 not 2.47. Put the phone in bootloader and it should say usb at the bottom. Then run 2.4 .exe unlocker. I think it should run without using activesync. And by spl mode do you mean the phone is in the bootloader.

Ok so i guess it needs activesync. About your only option is to install a pregps rom so the phone will boot and then you can reflash the custom rom. Below is a pregps Verizon rom and radio that will work for 1.06 bootloader. Called rom 2.09.

No luck, method A SD Card Loading.. then cheking... then show a number corner 00028002 and say down Not allowed.
Method B, via PC and RUU then ERROR INVALID VENDOR ID.
Any idea? Thanks bro.
I think my phone is bricked... noway load the rom... i've tried load bootloader unlocked via SD last option and nothing!! damn this is so
well, Hard-SPL is released now! sorry for delay, I got distracted elsewhere
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
[size=+2]Donations are always appreciated to the big link in our signature ("elite project"). You can also donate via the link offered in the new Hard-SPL program. Thank you!![/size]
Preparations:
first an important note, if you want to flash more than one Iolite, contact cmonex for additional licenses via http://support.htc-unlocks.com. (the first license is transparently granted and free, so normal users do not need to worry.)
0) this package is for Iolite (Touch Cruise II/2009) devices. for any IOLI***** so far (SSPL loader checks this and gives a warning if needed), afaik there is no CDMA version so all the model variations should be fine.
1) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Instructions:
read this if unsure how to install Hard-SPL...
1) download latest Hard-SPL package (currently v1.10) from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!!
3) NEW: internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and license.
4) run Iolite-Hard-SPL EXE on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is strongly recommended, on XP administrator login is required. important: if your AV (norton/symantec mainly) warns about a virus, ignore it, it just doesn't like the packer I used to pack the program.
5) if possible, always use Automatic flash mode (for uses of Manual mode, see troubleshooting section)
6) it will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK. follow steps in the program and then in the RUU.
7) some notes: it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up, then please follow the instructions included in the error text. if no specific instruction is shown, then ask for help in the thread, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred).
more notes: when RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
8) device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 1.09.C-SSPL, this is the SSPL version, which is temporary.
9) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
10) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.09.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter SPL to check version, fully power the device off by long press of power key, then power on while holding the "volume down" key on the left side of the device. keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode, then release it.
NOTE 2: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs or radio packages. also, this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one, so if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package will soon be posted in this post as well. use this relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty, and only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. see steps at the end of this post about how to reflash stock SPL.
NOTE 3: do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e. hardspl or stock spl restore)!!! nothing other than SPL's made by Olinex team (using OliNex custom cert, which is not public) will flash to make SSPL more secure. if you want to flash some other rom, then use shipped RUU or customRUU if you need to flash cooked ROM.
Troubleshooting:
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
Manual flash mode for USB issues: you should usually go for Automatic flash mode; you must only attempt the Manual mode option if Automatic flash mode or SSPL-Manual.exe already put device in SSPL tricolour screen and you got USB issues. any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.
ModelID checking:
- afaik no CDMA model, so doesn't matter but let me know if you got any problems.
nothing happens on the device, does not enter tricolour screen mode:
- anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please make sure you watch the device screen if it asks about running files. also try unchecking advanced usb functionality in settings.
- if it crashes instead of entering SSPL, you need to use Automatic mode.
general usb connection error problems if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to 1.09.C-SSPL screen:
- try manual SSPL: copy SSPL-Manual-Iolite exe to the device and run it, then when it went to 1.09.C-SSPL tricolour screen and shows "USB" at the bottom in this screen, use Manual option in the Hard-SPL program on the PC.
- make sure device was still synced via USB to the PC at the point of it entering SSPL (the 1.09.C-SSPL screen)!
- try a different USB port
- try different USB cable
- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy
- also do not use USB hub
- you can also try rebooting your PC
- and you can try using another PC.
- also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time and perhaps if you are on vista), then if RUU times out, but device still says "USB" on the tricolour screen, just leave it there and re-run the RUU when driver installation finishes.
- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.
other issues:
- if Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
- if device reboots instead of going to SSPL screen (1.09.C-SSPL), contact us by PM'ing cmonex. do not PM OliNex user, that is not monitored frequently.
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!:
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. take the SPL relocker attachment, and run the EXE - this will flash 1.09.0000 stock SPL. simple as that!
2. flash
3. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 1.09.0000.

Great job, big thanks!

I've just checked the re-locked and it does contain the correct SPL.
Connect your phone to you PC using AS, and then run the re-locked, once done your SPL should be 1.09 (with the .OliNex) again
