My Touch won't turn on at all now. I've successfully run the HardSPL and the Super CID tool but was having trouble flashing ROMs; no matter which ROM I get a connection error 260 can't connect to device. I downloaded mtty and accessed the device. I ran some of the info commands then the tasks. Now the Touch won't boot. Is there any way to recover it?
There is was one chinese guy, who have bricked up device by same method. Use search to find this topic. But seems like he still didn't repair it.
I am having the same issue, did you get a resolution?
mtty -> use command "boot"

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.

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
I installed an "updated" HTC Home Screen Plugin (obviously not for my phone model #) and now my phone is frozen. It will boot up but the home screen is frozen (i.e., non-responsive to any button presses). I attempted to re-flash the ROM using various ones I found for the NEON but all fail for the same reason.
Specifically, connection to ActiveSync is not possible (I connect via USB cable but ActiveSync doesn't recognize device). So what I do is put the phone in bootloader mode and then connect the USB cable. When I do this, the ROM upgrade program recognizes the phone and gets to the point where it shows the screen "Updating the ROM image on your PDA Phone.." and the phone shows a status bar at 0%. However, after a minute the computer screen says "ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR" and the phone is stile stuck at 0%.
My question is if there is any other way I can re-flash my NEON300? I've heard that it may be possible to but the nbh file on a FAT32 formatted card. I tried this by naming the nbh file to "TOUCHIMG.NBH" and "NEONIMG.NBH" but neither are recognized by the bootloader.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Try changing usb port or even re-installing activesync.
Alot pf people had the same problem on different devices but the cause should be the same.
for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298516
Let me know how you go.
Thanks for the advice Seth. I followed the link (install/re-install of ActiveSync didn't help) and I think I found my problem. Do I need to CID unlock the phone to install the ROM's? I ran the type 32 command from mtty and it shows a value of FF for the security lock.
Thanks

You should have read the WIKI before flashing your device... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
I've installed HardSPL and want now to flash a new ROM but no matter which I try none work. Each time I try to use a new room I get an ERROR 260 connection error. How can I avoid this?
I've tried following the service manual for the Touch dual which describes how to flash from an SD card but I've had no luck with that either.
I've read adn reread these forums and don't know what to do next. Any help appreciated.
Stu
First make sure that you phone is Niki
The bootloader says NIKI200, SPL-1.16.Hard, CPLD-4. The current ROM is 1.35.110.06 and is T-Mobile branded.
I used the HardSPL from JockeyW but have not used his CID unlock. Do I need to CID unlock to flash a new ROM?
The problem seems to come when I run any RUU. I start with my phone booted into Windows mobile and with an activesync connection to my pc. I run a RUU and follow the instructions. I get to the progress screen, my phone boots to the tricolor bootloader screen. There is no flashing progress and then the RUU says connection error 260.
How do I avoid the connection error? Do I need to change the activesync connection settings before running the ruu?
try flash from bootloader (power off device, press'n'hold camera button, power on device) and run RUU utility
Hello All,
I've scoured the forums as best I can and can't seem to find a resolution.
I have an HTC Touch Dual, NEON 300.
R 1.65.20.19
G 25.86.40.04H
D 2.21
Bootloader screen shows this:
NEON300
SPL-0.95.0000
CPLD-3
I have downloaded the following programs so far throughout my research here:
MTTY
SnoopyPro
Tiny Hexer
Hard SPL for the Neon
The basic problem is that the phone will not boot past the Smart Mobility page. I've tried hard resetting it, resetting it while in bootloader, hard resetting while in bootloader. Nothing works.
SO...I finally tracked down the ROM I need to flash this phone:
EON300_WWE_2.21.422.04_Stock_Rebuild.rar
However, I cannot load this ROM to the phone because Hard SPL cannot detect the phone. I already used SnoopyPro to find reinstall the USB drivers by following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379318
MTTY doesnt really detect the phone...When I follow the instructions on the above link, this is as far as I can get:
Cmd>password BsaD5SeoA
Pass.
HTCST IÚÈÒHTCE
Cmd>ruurun 0
Command error !!!
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSNEON3000HTCE
Cmd>RestartDevice
The phone DOES restart when I ask it do, and MTTY DOES get the device information BUT it DOESNT give me much more than that. Also I should note that Windows XP does recognize the device somehow, as in device manager it shows up as 'Windows CE Microsoft USB Device'.
BOTTOM LINE:
I need to know a way to install the ROM I have into this HTC Touch Dual (NEON 300) while in Bootloader mode....
THANKS!!
I'm in the same problem...
Anyone knows how to change the rom, in fact im looking for a spanish rom...
Thanks for all.....
*Bump*
Same problem here with a Neon300.. Anyone have a resolution?
Thanks in advance!
As an aside, I've breathed new life into my Hermes Phone with VP's 6.1 rom. Awesome work, man!!
EASY

Sorry About My English.
1) Press ON/OFF Button + Camera Button (at same time, for few seconds)
2) wait for 3 Color Screen. and connect USB
3) them install: ROM NEON300_WWE_2.21.422.04_Stock_Rebuild
i have the same htc touch dual n i want good rom and hard spl for it so pleeez help with links thanx in advance
I need some expert help please! I have a Hermes (Orange SPV M3100) that I want to flash with a custom ROM but I am having a problem with ActiveSync losing the USB connection at the point that the device enters the bootloader screen. I am also unable to flash using the SD card method. I have flashed a Nike without any problems and I'm usually good with technical stuff so I think there must be something extra I need to do that I have missed. I hope that somebody can spare the time to help me solve the problem. Here are the details:-
I am trying to follow Mr Vanxs guide to flashing the ROM in windows Vista so that I can upgrade it from WM5 to WM6 and apply a custom ROM to load a new TouchFlo style OS. The first step in this process is to flash HardSPL using this guide but my problem with the USB connection won't let me do that. I have unlocked the device using Hermes Unlocker 3a so it is (or should be) SIM and CID unlocked and be SuperCID with HardSPL-1.40 (so maybe I can miss the Mr Vanxs HardSPL step?).
So, when I run the RUUWrapper.exe, choosing the Force option and accepting the messages I eventually get a prompt on the device. At this stage ActiveSync is connected. I click Yes on the device and it enters the bootloader screen which shows 'USB' on the tri-color screen but ActiveSync immediately drops the USB connection. The update then waits for a while then fails with Error 260. I have to do a soft reset to get the device out of the bootloader screen. When the device reboots the Activesync connection comes back to life.
I thought that I maybe don't need to HardSPL first so I tried just going straight to the ROM upgrade but I get the same problem.
Also, I tried following this link to flash using the SD card instead of USB but when I get to step 6 I don't see a confirm message - just the usual bootloader screen (it doesn't help that the screen shot doesn't appear on the link so I'm not even sure if I'm getting the correct screen). Any ideas?
I realise that an answer to this probably already exists somewhere on the forum but I have spent hours trawling through posts and I can't find it so I hope somebody has come across this before and can help me out.
Thanks guys!
Don't worry I solved it by rebooting my PC, skipping the HardSPL and flashing with an official ROM (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108). I can now apply custom ROMs.
