i-mate ROM upgrade: Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR - HTC Startrek

I have tried several times on my own but with no success.
I purchased a new i-mate smartflip with official wm 5.1 rom on e-bay.
I have taken the following steps on a XP PC:
1. Run the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
2. Restart smartflip as requested
3. Run RUU_STAR100_WM61PRO_V2.exe
4. I receive the following error message:
Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR
The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.
As I understand it, it is not necessary to CID Unlock however after a few failed attempts I decided to try the CID Unlock process. Unfortunately I received an access denied message when I ran pdocread.exe
Any thougts on the matter on how to find a solution?
Thank you in advance,
Rudydb

have u install active sync? i think is a driver problem...

SoftSPL... RTFM

Yes, active sync is installed proper and works with my other i-mate k-jam phone. Thank you for the suggestion.

I was directed to the wiki web page for STEP BY STEP instructions.
for the Mobile 6.1 Pro that I installed I only had to stop at step 2 because this ROM does the rest.
Clear and easy instructions
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_StrTrk_ROM_Update
The ROM works great and I must say it is quite clever in offering a cursor and utilizing the camera button for the "ok" button.

G4 WM6 BRICKED! please help ASAP!!!!

I was flashing my brothers phone for him, and I was using the CID Workaround, and it completed, and then after a hard reset the device wouldnt go past the first splash screen.. pllease help
If your able to get into bootloader mode then you should be able to flash another rom such as wizard love or your providers rom.
If you read the thread on unlocking G4 cid locked using shell tool you will see what i mean. I personally was stuck in a very similar situation and received help, so the info you need might be in that thread.

i used the shell tool, but i just got stuck on the first splash after i did that.... here are device specs
Its a Cingular 8125, obivously g4
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
It doesnt get past bootloader, and I would really like to put WM6 on it.
At this point, I've tried various other ROMs and nothing is working. Any thoughts or ideas at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
jUST DO WHAT I SAY
gREETINGS,
Just follow this steps u will be out of it.
Press and hold the camera button and reset the phone, hold the camera button until you see the tri color screen (bootloader), when u are on tri color screen connect the USB with your phone(dont see for active sync it wont recognise but it will be connected), and then flash your phone with the rom your provider has given you i.e, the original rom and DONT flash it with shell tool use the exe file of the rom.
When you are at the original rom then try to flash the WM6 with shell tool and follow the instruction properly.
Thanks

I cannot do that because the Carrier ROMs that I have aren't for G4, so they arent working. I have three different carrier ROMs for my phone.. and none of them work.

Check your email, I downloaded and zip works fine here.
i'm facing this problem right now , i will solve it with the original rom .
the problem started when i used shelltool to upgrade my G4 CID Locked to windows mobile 6 crossbow underground edition .
i will give it another try when i get my device alive again ,
any suggestions for the WM6 underground to make it work using shelltool on my wiza 200 ??
--------------------- Edit -----------------------
Finally i solved the problem and installed Crossbow WM6 underground edition .
all i did is to install the original rom from provider and then used shelltool to install WM6 .
i want to mention that my wiza200 is G4 and its CID Locked .
Huge thanx to mUn , you are da man
Mmm
I've tried underground wm6, but flashing till 96%, then error 302. I've searching for love rom few hours at night, then finally found, it is using the same flashing frontend (but in italian? language), flashed ok, phone's running. I've tried some few other wm6 roms, but always errors like "too old, get new one" or once it was probably fake, because it loaded exactly the same ROM as love one is. So, now I've probably stuck on WM5 at all

Mine is G4, dunno if cid is locked or not. I've flashed it as I said with wizard love rom and working without problems. I've tried that again this morning, to flash from love rom, but the same. At 96% it hangs, error 302 Communication error, then starts recovery process, phone goes to bootloader mode. Then is possible to flash it with love rom again with no problem
g4
i have a g4 wizard using the shell tool i have chaged my rom on my phone sometimes 3 times a week just to test them out
the shell tool works if you cant download from the forum here is the link for it
http://rapidshare.com/files/17787647/ShellTool_bugfixed.zip
G4
yes, but when I run shelltool, and press get rom info, all fields states N/A
info from phone is:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio: 2.25.11
ExtROM: 2.26.10.105
IPL/SPL: 2.17.0001
And anyway, dunno exactly which rom for WM6 I can put in (I've just 5.underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe which stucks at 96% with 302 error)
well, I'm dumb, mislooked one stupid thing. Everything passed without errors, Windows Mobile 6 is up and running
happy to know that , the problem was installing rapi ha ??
WBR
No, not really, rapi and that second cab was in device, it was restarted, but I did a mistake - i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory - that was why were all fields N/A... did that, flashed on first try, without problem
I had the same problem, orginal rom from the provider, and I can reflash it again.....
THX for the info......
ROM verion and link location
Hi lobiik,
which ROM did you use for your device, as you comments above:
"i didn't copied that desired rom into updater directory "
can you please point me to location where i can get the ROM, also proper steps to install the same.
Thanks,
Ajay

Help - error, unknown version??????

Hi,
I've had a good search and can't find any info and have been pointed in this direction for advise.
I've got a spv m3100 and wanted to upgrade to black 3.0.1. I've followed the details given by MrVanx and installed hardSpl 2.10.Olipro first. I checked that this has installed using the ok, start and reset combo. (the installation did seem to be quick thoughm took about 2 secs from the screen on the phone changing to install being complete).
Then wanted to install the latest radio version and this is where the problems started, I ran the .exe making sure the other file was located in the correct directory and that the phone was sync'ed. I got a message saying that could'nt contact the phone and then the following message
Error, unknown version! you should pick sspl
This also happened when trying to install black 3.0.1.
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I bought the handset from Ebay and have unlocked it and installed hardspl 2.10 and thats it.
I also want to change the flash load screen to get rid of the orange display as I will be using O2 sim.
Once again, I thnak you in advance for any help.
James
You need to choose force using sspl, you will be ok as you have hardspl 2.10 installed so you should not brick it as you have some protection, it is just that autodetect is not recognising the rom version already installed. Try the rom upgrade first. You need to refer to mrvanx guide as this explains how to change your splash screen to a custom version, post back if all was ok
EDIT:- Black 3.5 is now available!

Thanks BOZ.
I appreciate your response, So I should attempt the black ROM upgrade before the Radio using force SPLL?
I won't now be able to try this until at least next week so I'll have to wait before I can report if all works. Thanks again for your advise. Its all new to me and I'm learning from helpful people like yourself. I've been really lucky that I've found a couple of forums with very helpful members that are happy to advise and assist.
Thanks Again.

You've got it, cheers boz.
If its any help - I had the exact same problem with "unknown version" error. Before I upgraded, I did a hard reset on the M3100 - not necessary I know but I felt happier.
As I had already installed the HardSPL 2.10 Olipro - I simply chose the option:
SPL-2.02/2.10 New Bootloader (rather than 'AutoDetect')
on the RUUWrapper - Hermes ROM Upgrade opening screen and upgraded as per mrvanx instructions (as this offered good protection from bricking my phone)
Upgrade went fine and its fast and so far stable.
Incidentally, I didn't change the radio version, as by all accounts 1.38 is a better version.

PLEASE HELP. IM A n00b at this and i think i bricked my G4 cingular 8125.

So i wanted to flash my cingular 8125 to windows mobile 6, so i downloaded this:
(BIG MISTAKE)
http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/2559279-Software-Programs-Cell-Phone-Programs
and i followed the instructions and after i hard reseted my phone, it booted to a white screen. I have tryed reflashing, going into bootloader mode and reflashing, and i nothing helps.
can one of the experts on this forum please help me???!!!
thanks
i need help assap!! lol
i dont care even if i flash back to winmo5, I JUST WANNA UNBRICK

What IPL/SPL it displays now ? ,Does it get into Bootloaders ? if it still does than download and flash 'wizard_love_rom' hope it'll recover back.
RE:
It just boots into a white screen. If i hold the camera and power buttons together it boots into bootloader mode, and says USB in the bottom corner. (when i am conncected via usb) but the problem is that active sync doesnt recognize it in bootloader mode. I have tried flashing it in many different ways and i have had no success.
When i go home i will try wizard_love_rom.
and as for the IPL/SPL, i will also check that when i get home.
Where can i download the wizard_love_rom?
Thanks for the help !
RE:2
Hello,
Mr IPL and SPL are both 2.25.0001
My GSM: 02.25.11
My OS: 2.18.0.0
Good News
So, I flashed my phone with the "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar"
which i found the download for over a quick google search, and now i want to update to winmo6 or 6.1.
Can you send me the link for the easiest way to do it on a G4 cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard.)
I have never CID unlocked, which was probably why i got the white screen earlier. but do i need to do it know that i am on the wizard love rom?
please help,
thanks

Ok,
I know that this may be getting a little annoying for you and im sorry for that, but i need your help on this. I am currently running the wizard love rom. And I have Hard SCP'd.
I have to problems:
1. My EDGE doesn't work, i only get GPRS speed data.
2. I can't upgrade to any new rom..... i always get "ERROR [300] Get a newer update utility!"
How can I fix both of these problems?
I have searched forums and google and nothing has come up.

ok,for error (300)you can use the RUU MUNS already posted in the 'HardSPL' thread,download the RUU_MUNS application extract it to a folder and copy and paste all the files of this extracted to the folder of the Rom replacing all the RUU files in that folder or copy the nk.nbf folder in the Rom to the extracted folder of the RUU_MUNS and then run the RUU,it will start to flash and complete and hopefully fully boot up.
For edge or gprs,you'll have to get network settings of your network carrier or check out the thread from where you downloaded the rom,its uaually posted there or check out the 'Network' thread.
Aquestion to Zabardast_1 ?
294 error , invalid vender ID
what does that means & asolution to it during rom update
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

Need some help people...

Hello guys...
first of all, excuse me for my bad english...I'm not an oxford student
I got a topaz from a friend to remove the russian language and flash a german ROM.
He knows that I know much about Android and flashing etc. But I didn't know that it will be harder to understand WinMob than understanding Android.
I'm stuck with the Hard-SPL. How I said before, this phone is Russian and I don't understand anything...The automatic flasher gives me this:
"Sorry, the Hard-SPL process closed early due to an error..."
After that, i copied the necessary file for manual flashing into the phone, executed it and started the manual mode, which gives me the 260 CONNECTION error.
Phone is connected and sync. Installing the enabler*.cab didn't help.
I don't know which information you will need. So, I will now write down what I think could be important.
Tricolor-Screen:
TOPA100 32M
SPL-1.33.0000
Under the battery:
HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 RUS
White field says "USB", I think this is supposed to be important.
So...What do you suggest? I promised him to bring him his new, cool phone tomorrow... I think I can forget that
What should I do now? Thank you in advance...

the following questions will be about the Automatic mode (not Manual mode):
is the only error you get is the early close error, after pressing "OK" for preparing to flash? if yes, what OS version are you running (and is it physical installation of Windows)? and what do you see on phone screen? also, exact error text = ?
Hi, thank you for your reply.
I'm using Win7 x86, not virtual or something.
After "Preparing to flash, please press OK now and wait" I get a Fatal Error
"Hard-SPL is for non-commercial....." It tells me that I used it before, what I definitively did not.
After that the following pops up:
nobody any idea?
I now flashed
RUU_Topaz_S2_HTC_RUS_2.53.411.3_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship
trying Hspl-flasher again...
doesn't work. automatic mode fails the same way, and manual mode comes with congrats for flashing hard-spl once i click the button. but tricolor doesn't show me any hard-spl...
