I got this phone a few days ago and I'm already on a modding spree.
Today, I upgraded to SPL-1.40.01ipro and also upgraded the radio to 1.38.00.10.
To continue my modding spree, I wanted to update to the new Cingular ROM (2.06.502.3). I downloaded the package and launced it. I went through the usual ROM upgrading steps (checkboxes, etc.). Finally, at the last screen (before the status bar) I clicked ok, and it popped up a message saying "Verifying PDA information, etc." The phone disconnected from ActiveSync (even quit the program), Windows made the disconnecting sound, and then it made the connecting sound, and my phone went into bootloader mode. It then stayed there until a window popped up on my monitor saying "Error [260]: Update Error".
I searched about Error 260 and all I came up with was program conflicts. I rebooted the computer and tried to exit pretty much every program. Do I not have enough space on the phone?
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I searched alot. Thanks
Edit: I am using WinXP Pro, so the Vista issue has no concern.
If it is a standard RUU updater provided by Cingular you need to disable USB connections in activesync first.
Using the customRUU updates provided here (all the WM6 builds and HardSPL...and radio) its the opposite, but try unticking "allow usb connections" in connection settings (in activesync on your pc).
I assume it's the standard RUU, as it does not say CustomRUU on the file.
Edit:
I am using this one:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Cingular English CWS__001 2.06.502.3 02/02/07 ?? 1.33.31.00 32.66.7020.10H 15671.3.3.0 3.3 1.09 108
Should I just do the Ext. ROM ones?
Also, wouldn't disabling the USB connection result in a connection error (since it's not "connected")?
By the way, your upgrade guides are excellent! They really helped with the radio and SPL update.
A few minutes ago, I tried the the SIM unlock/CID unlock .v3 and it does the same thing. Error [206].

I think i might have been confused with using the mtty program, never mind.
The reason your RUU will not work is because you have an upgraded SPL (HardSPL) on your device and it is not recognised by the operator RUU.
The procedure to flash the cingular ROM to your device is the same as in my WM5 Downgrade Guide.
(you might not understand this until youve read the guide)
Just package the OS,Extrom and splashscreens as in the guide and flash with the CustomRUU tool, you will be fine. (follow the guide its all in there). Just to add to that when you come to flashing the repackaged ROM (at the end of the guide) select the 'Autodetect' option when the flashing utility asks what SPL you have.
Thanks for the help so far!
I read another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085&highlight=error+260
that if I update the ROM a certain way, I will not be able to upgrade the radio afterwards. Is this true for your WM5 downgrading guide? (I am upgrading to AKU3.3 by the way)
Just want to make sure before I do it.

You can change the radio without issue dude. Aslong as you have HardSPLv6 (1.40.olipro) then we will have no problem sorting you out.
The guide is awesome!
But when it comes to this window:
Follow the RUU instructions as usual to flash the WM5 ROM. Select 'Autodetect' when the RUU asks which SPL version you have.
when I select Autodetect it says it cannot query the device and it advises me to pick SSPL. Should I just do that? Activesync is running and connected.

No probs dude
Might wanna give the threads on HardSPL, CustomRUU and maybe the (hermes) rom koch???
The info there is great for future releases of ROM (and also for the techniques used in my guide)
I have same problem, error 260. At same time, after final check. I have made my .nbh with this guide (from Original ROM 2.11.255.1 03/07/07 and 2.05.255.1 01/17/07 ).
I have tryed to update with that guide that I mentioned before on two different computers Win XP sp2 and Win 2000. I have ActiveSync 4.2 on PC and the phone is Vodafone v1605 (with only rom that it has) and I have updated bootloader to 1.40.olipro.
Does this RUUWrapper.exe work with this .nbh allso? I want to upgrade everything to newest, or should I? I didn't find userguide for RUUWrapper or when it should be used.
I also tryed to flash ROM with "ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2", it went little bit further, but it hanged in 0% with error 244
Error 260 continuted
hello
I had the same issue, Error: 260. I have a hermes TyTn, WM6. I have tried to follow the steps on the downgrade to WM5 but have some issues. There is a warning to do the HardSPL first because this would prevent the unit from being bricked, but i am doing this because I can't do the Hard SPL. Secondly the Hermes RomKoch by dutty can not be found at the link provided. please help!
Try this method:
First go to this mode:
http://rt002nf0.eresmas.net/TodoPDAs200/bootloader01.jpg
And finally run ruuwrapper. This helps me.
error 260
I am getting the same error 260 message when I try to upgrade as well. I read several threads with different solutions and none of them worked for me. The link in this forum pointing to the downgrade guide does not work. I've tried on 2 different Vista Ultimate machines with no success. The funny thing is, I upgraded one of my 8525s on one of these machines with no problem, but this new 8525 I received today isn't playing nice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Install Hard SPL V7, then use sd card method to install ROM.
Go to page 116, post 1160 on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
for sd card method for Hard SPL.
Just drop the steps using sspl.exe when flashing roms as you would now have Hard SPL installed.
You need a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32 and make no spelling mistakes when renaming .nbh file to hermimg.nbh..
Cheers...
But how do I get the Hard SPL V7 installed. That is the version I was trying to install. I go through the steps and once my phone gets to the bootloader, it disconnects from the WMDC and then the error message. So I need to get past the Hard SPL V7 install first. Any ideas on that?
Thanks ultramag69

Thanks again.
I have updated my phone x01ht WM5 to custom WM6 firmware,
before installing the wm6, i had install the Hard_SPL-V7
i wanna know, if i want to flash again to other wm5 roms, how could i do?
because when i was trying to flash the wm5 dopod rom (it loads the loader) but stop flashing, error said USB connection failed..
any advise pls reply, thanks... i am very noob at this level
Follow THIS guide. You will be able to downgrade to WM5 again but it is not as simple as running the RUU.
(pof im adding the warning dont worry)
Guys...
I am planing to upgrade my dopod 838pro (hermes100) to 6.1
I am using WM6.0 now. After using few mounths..,i felt the phone become so slow. And the rom memory is only 3.00mb left.
therefore i wanna reinstall the 838pro...
however,i don't know which one of ROM i can use
and...also the steps...

Did you try this rom
http://rapidshare.com/files/73352583/Athena_WM6_TMD_2.35.111.3_By_Agent_Bignose.zip
from the wiki
here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_WM6Upgrades
it sounds like the file you are trying to load is an SPL 3.5 version
Hello,
yes, this is the ROM i am trying to flash onto my Athena but it ends with the error message. Not to sure how to fix this. As i said i have tried the spl downloader but this did not work either. Any ideas what else to try?
I have just had a look and the Athena shows SPL as 3.5 No idea how to check which version the Rom is. Any ideas what to do to get it to run?

OK , I think I had it back to front.(might be your language skills)
so!
You have AP4 SPL 3.5 !
In this case the downgrader should have worked if you followed the instructions on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405604
I have done this and can vouch it worked.
Alternatively on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
there are a couple of german roms or you could try and alter Michys multilanguage rom
i've done a gold card and flashed my phone with a official 3.14 leo rom, havent got hspl anymore, android works fine but i am unable to flash a cooked rom, tried usb and gold card but both ways stop at 0%, does anyone know whats going on? thx
spl 3.03........
(WWE) 3.14.405.2
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Manila: 2.5
the batery life improved without hspl
hspl doesn't work on spl3 and goldcard is for official ROMs.
you must downgrade to a 1.x rom (as normal if it is your correct stock rom, goldcard if its any other stock rom)
this will downgrade your spl and let you flash hspl.
thanks, think i'm going to keep spl3, my phone has never been working so fine, i was just trying to find a way to use a cooked rom with spl3. was using hspl for all this time and battery run out in 12 hrs.. now, my hd2 is running android mdeejay froyo revolution all the time, no freezes, good data connection..
