Tried flashing new rom to my Cruise and ended up getting the error stated in the title. Ran unlock and hard spl beforehand and ran the ruu update three times and the error still pops up. Any suggestions?
I had a Kaiser before and never had any issues with rom flashing. Sure hope it isn't bricked.
Also, checked my serieal with HTC.com and this is a legitimate cruise and I have the original rom, but cannot reconnect to WMDC, stuck on tri-color screen.
Also, it was error code 270 which I didn't see on the common ruu error page. It says that the rom image is corrupt. The rom I was flashing was billabong's ultimate from Jan. 17th. I was able to get my stock rom loaded back, thank God, but I just tried hard spl again and flashing the rom and the same error happened again.
Try another rom, there are a lot here. Maybe this rom have the problem, and not your device.

I have a tmobile g4 wizard.
when I tried flashing it either:
a. gives me a old utility error
then i get the newer italian 2.5.2 utility to flash with.
b. no matter what rom i use (I tried molski's 3.3 and crossbow reloaded 1.7 = both are without ipl/spl)
the utility seems to update, and then gives me an error at 99%. it doesnt crash, it gives an error
then i have to flash it back to tmobile or wizard love to get this working.
any idea guys ?
yeah, put your device into bootloader mode before you start the RUU.
doesnt help.
again meter progresses to 99% where it turns red and then the application on the pc gives me an error.
firewalls / antivirus are turned off too.
Hello i had the same problem while updating to wm6 my qtek 9100, here is the solution: downnoad the Wizard_Love rom, t is already patched so it works on your g4, Read g4.3 Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831&highlight=Wizard_Love
First off have you CIDunlocked your device before you flashed?
I was having the same problem with my phone yesterday. I thought i actually bricked it when trying to flash it. Eventually i had to use the rom from the htc website and then use ShellTool from the sticky in this forum. Finally i got wm6 loaded with its help.
Good luck!
Hey guys...sorry if this has been covered. I tried searching the forums and can't seem to find anything on it.
All of the roms seem to be plug it in, install it and BLAM, you're ready to go.
My issue is that I get a communication error everytime I try to install any roms or the HardSPL. The exact error given is "The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the error so you can continue with the update."
While performing the updates, I hear the sound as if my USB disconnects, then it reconnects after it restarts into the multi-colored screen. It shows "Security disabled" at the top of the screen. It proceeds to the loading bar and just sits at 0% until it comes up with the disconnect screen.
I'm using the HTC Touch Pro running WM6.1 on the Sprint network.
Again, sorry if this has already been discussed, I just couldn't find anything on it.

Your phone's cdma. This is a gsm forum. I'm assuming that you're trying to brick your phone with the gsm hard spl and not trying to flash the proper hard spl. Stop doing that, your phone is getting pissed at you. Go to ppcgeeks or the cdma (Herman, not Raphael) forum here.
haha leave it to me to find the wrong way to do something. I appreciate your heads up Ted!

What is the problem with the RUU update?
I have searched for a solution to the RUU update/upgrade problem; none so far. Apparently, it is a major issue. I am interested in upgrading my Windows CE on my Xperia 6.1 to 6.5. I must have tried over a dozen times. The update process stops at 0% and Error [262] is reported. What can we do to resolve this? Is it compatibility or scalability issue? is it a problem with the software? The fact that it is working for some . . . and not for others is a source of concern about the stability of the software and this has potential implications; or it may well have to do with the hardware limitations of the PDA. Any ideas of a workaround?
You might try the Experia forum. You also might want to try Experia Roms.
I used to experience this issue as well. I simply go into communications and hit the USB to PC connection. Then remove the advanced functionality check. This has resolved many of the communication errors when playing with ROMS. This has been true with both GSM and CDMA devices.
I can confirm the issue. I have a 1st day release Fuze and flashed HardSPL no problem and have been making my roms ever since. But my cousin just got his new AT&T Fuze through his company and it refuses to HardSPL.
I went through several versions of the HardSPL and tried installing new drivers for the phone while in bootmode... all with no luck.
When connected through Activesync or Mobile Center, running the HardSPL brings up a confirmation windows on the phone, allowing reboots the device. It gets stuck at the black screen and times out. I've tried manually putting the phone in bootmode and trying it, but never gets past 0%.
I wonder if newer model TouchPro's are coming out with a revised bootloader?
Dunno if i can link to another forum. If not, appolgize and Admins remove the link than please.
For the 262 error, look here:

Yes they are coming with a new bootloader. I just got my phone replaced from ATT and the new one came with 1.95 version while originals were 1.90. There is no HARD-SPL out for 1.95.
The way to do it now is to flash an old original AT&T rom with the 1.90 bootloader (since it's original, it won't require HardSPL). Then go ahead and everything should work as described in this forum/wiki.
Interseting. Sounds like a winner. Next time he comes around I'll try this.
Any idea where I can get a AT&T older rom that has the 1.90 HardSLP on it? I am having the same issue with the Error 262 update error.
Thanks

You should probably go to your ATT store and tell them you'd like to get the official Hard SPL update.

If u want to use not the official rom made for ur provider and phone, hardspl is the only way. Any custom rom needs hardspl. Otherwise ur phone will not accept the rom.
But look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
and flash the stock 1.90 SPL first, then u are ready for hardspl.
Description how to do stock spl is in this thread. Its normally meant for going back to stock for repair, but it should also solve ur issue.
NOT SHURE BECAUSE IN THE CDMA SECTION, IS UR PHONE CDMA OR GSM. MY SOLUTIUON IS FOR GSM !!!!!!
U SHOULD CHANGE THE POSTING SECTION IF ITS GSM !!!!!
Try doing the HardSPL in a Windows XP machine (needs .NET Framework 2.0 and ActiveSync). Goodluck.
i had the same problem as you and i maybe have a solution for you
go to your usb settings and look if you have a check box saying something about advanced networking. if it is indeed checked uncheck it and your problem will be gone hopefully
i did it on my telus touch pro and i am now able to upgrade my phone to winmo 6.5

I had the same problem. I was trying to restore my phone to original firmware, due to issues with custom firmwares. I had managed to extract the NBH from the installer provided by my carrier, and used CustomRUU to flash the phone, but the phone was not booting.
I then flashed one of the EnergyROM builds onto my phone.
After that I could not get the original firmware onto the phone, error 290 at 9%.
I booted my phone into the bootloader (red/blue/green), and used HSPL2 to set SPL to 1.42.HSPL. I could then flash the original firmware.
My phone is now working fine, as best I can tell.
Always showing bootloader screen with rom upgrade error
I was trying to revert to windows custom rom from android (due to frequent freezing) and then onwards booting the phone I am always getting the bootloader screen displaying rom upgrade error.
I tried hard reset but still the same problem persists, then I downgraded the HSPL 2.08 to SPL-1.42.HSPL and then tried reinstalling the custom rom but still the same problem persists. In between after downgrading the HSPL, I tried task 29, it was unsuccessful after 96% (shows Invalid Command (Error 290)), while reinstalling the customRUU I have, I got something like error 270 at the end (it goes fine till 100%).
I also tried with installing the radio (ver 2.15.50.14) in between but to no effect
Please help me in fixing the issue, my phone is of no use now
Hello,
I bought a used HTC HD2 device and would like to install android on nand.
I'm quite used to upgrade HTC devices using XDA guides... and did a lot of upgrades on a previously bought HD2 device without any problem.
Here are my questions and the errors I saw...
The bought HD2 seems to be unbranded. How to check it?
Upgrade to shipped ROM
I tried to upgrade the ROM by using the last available upgrade from HTC website, specifying my S/N. I downloaded the RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.66.408.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship file... but I got upgrade error at 8-9% and then device never booted up more.
7 times vibrate error
I got succesfully upgraded it by saving LEOIMG.nbh on SD card (after a lot of try)... BUT after power up I had device stuck on HTC screen playing 7 times vibrate... who seems to be a faulty code.
I tried many reboots without any success... then I removed the battery, waited some minutes and then it succesfully booted up!
Read some forum about but didn't find the answer about the error "code".
HSPL installation
I had to install shipped 2.08 rom to install HSPL and successfully did it by downloading _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.48.408.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.
Then I successfully installed 2.08.HSPL
Radio upgrade
To install Android on NAND I need to have radio upgraded... so I tried to upgrade by using many radios from the XDA Radio Thread BUT I always have INVALID COMMAND ERROR 290 and upgrade process stuck at the end of radio upgrade process. Obviously device don't boot up saying me wrong process and at the boot stuck with an error screen.
Why do I have radio upgrade problems? Are they related to 7 times vibrate?
Never tried to get Goldcard... but I suppose if it's a wrong radio (for which I need to use goldcard) customruu process would give me an error, right?
