So I recently downloaded the "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship" ROM for my 8525, in hopes that it will provide me with a more stable pda/phone enviroment so that I may do the work I need to without having to hard reset every other day or so.
When I try to run the ROM install, I follow all the insturctions but when the update starts to run, it shuts my activesync connection off so the update can't run and throws back an error that it lost connection with the device.
Any Help Here? Thanks
PS: I love the idea of being able to use my 8525 for all my work and play needs, but if this update doesn't help make the device more stable, I will have to sell it for something that doesn't crash this much.
hey..iv got same problem.. i think it maybe cause we are using windows vista (thats the only information i can find about it).. i wanted to update ma rom aswell
I'm using XP Pro.
try running it on another system...if available...
anyone know the solution to this?!
OK, have you installed HardSPL ??
Check my SAFE WM5 upgrade guide, if you follow the procedures in there you should be fine.
Yeah, as far as stability goes most the wm5 roms out of the box aren't going to be the best. with any rom i use sktools to tune it up for performance/stability settings. It does this automatically so you don't have to find various registry keys. So don't think just because you are going to another rom everything will be okay.
Read the wiki, search the threads, you will find answers to all your problems.
As far as you not being able to connect what is your spl number? Also, have you tried hard reseting then connecting or trying another computer. I had the same problem when downgrading a black 2.5 with hard spl 2.1 ( i had to downgrade to send it back to cingular). I ended up just downgrading to the highest version of cingular rom which is branded AT&T. It looked like a pretty good rom but I did not play with it.
he does not need hardSPL(at least i dont think so) he is just runnning an update for another cingular ROM, its still the same CID...try running it on another system, i had this same problem and it worked on another system....

HardSPL will protect him against a faulty SPL flash if it occurs, a newer SPL is likely to be in the ROM update aswell as a newer radio possibly. Having the same CID doesnt matter because if the radio or SPL flashing procedure messes up it can create a bricked device VERY easily (corrupt SPL or even a corrupted CID/Radio BL). Besides if he already has HardSPL that would explain why the RUU doesnt reconnect when the device is in bootloader mode.

point well taken...=)
you mention, since he has already gotten HardSPL, why would that mean his device doesnt reconnect in bootloader?
put it in bootloader first and then run the update...
make sure you disable usb connections with active sync put your phone in bootloader and run the update might as well go with WM6 its a lot more stable than any WM5 rom i have played with .
OS crash
I run ROM install then computer shuts itself now my 8525 show hi true color with red/blue/white i tried to hard reset to solve but till hi true color what should i do?

I've run there updates on my 8525. If the computer is shutting itself down, try another computer. This sounds odd. More of a computer problem then a Tytn Problem.

=) have you even tried it?
I'm having a problem connecting ActiveSync over USB. When I first got the phone I was able to use that connection. Then I set up BT ActiveSync. I believe at the time I could use either USB or BT, but it has been a while. BT sync was so much more convenient for me that I haven't used my USB connection except for charging the phone.
Today I tried to get set up to upgrade the ROM, but ActiveSync doesn't seem to work over USB anymore. I turned off BT on the phone. When I plug it into my laptop's USB port the laptop makes a sound indicating it sees the connection. It makes a different sound when I unplug it. I also see the orange charge light come on on the phone. I usually charge the phone this way when I am on the road since I don't carry the wall charger with me.
I think at one point I installed a river that I fdound here to access the phone in bootloader moder. Other than veryfying the phone connected this way, I never did anything with the driver. IT has been so long that I don't remember the details. Could that be affecting the connection for ActiveSync?
I have made sure my firewall is inactive. In Windows XP Device Manager I see an HTC USB Sync device under Windows CE devices. Would it be safe to remove that device?
Any ideas how I can get USB ActiveSync to work again?
Is it totally crazy to try the ROM upgrade over the BT connection?

You may want to try using the Hard SPL v7 and then install your ROM. I did that and all went smooth as silk - six times now. I have been browsing ROMs to see which one suited my needs an personality, and it has been fun. You can find that on my FTP site at ftp://xda:[email protected]/xda_dlz/
This is a dynamic IP Address from a cable modem so two things are true
1. It is subject to change at any time.
2. It is not as fast as some of these speedy servers
But, I do know where it is.

I had tried this yesterday and checked the Enable advanced network functionality box. Today I unchecked it and suddenly the PC saw a new USB device (HTC Sync USB, I think). It still wouldn't sync automatically so I manually executed /windows/repllog.exe. This time it connected.
Some observations:
- After the connection was established the the name of my 8525 was changed to something different (something like WM_ComputerName1, Where ComputerName is my computer's host name). I changed the name back and was able to re-invoke repllog.exe and sync with the old name.
- If I disconnect the USB cable from the phone and plug it in again ActiveSync doesn't connect until I manually run repllog.exe. It does work when I run the exe on the phone manually.
I went ahead and started the upgrade process after connecting by running repllog.
Executing the RUU file from the HTC site first put SPL 1.11 on the phone and left the phone in bootloader mode (with the tricolor screen). I left the phone with bootloader screen and followed the instructions (although by now ActiveSync had shut down so the part about the AS connection that the installer asked for was not true). The progress bars appeared on both the phone and the PC. It took a few minutes to complete, but the update was successful.
After the upgrade I was able to sync over USB without any problems. I am now syncing my contact from Lotus Notes and setting things up to my liking. Once I got over the USB connection problem everything worked fine!
hi
guys i am newbie in upgrading and tried to run athena wraper and it died and after searching forums i still cant find cure ok so here it is i can do hard reset but it dosent help no boot up it still gives me ring round joystick good news is i can get it to bootloader screen (or at least thats what i think ) its red green blue and white screen with usb or serial (depending on cable )
screen reads
ATHE100
IPL-V0.90
ATHE100
SLP-V1.20.Olipro
now can any one help me ??
how can i upgrade rom with out device being detected by active sync every time i run upgrade utility it just comes up with connection error
still no luck
hi
still no luck
do i need special drivres to detect device if its in bootloader ?
it dosent show any thing in device manager when i connect it while its in boot loader
on running upgrade utility it comes back with error 260 connection error saying cannot find device (i am stuck in bootloader)
any advices ??
please help !!!!
The fact that you can still enter the bootloader means that it is not bricked, so first advice would be, as is so well presented in the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Don't Panic".
Enter bootloader without any SD Card or SIM left in the Athena.
Then, plug it to the USB port, and see if it goes from "serial" to "usb".
Then try to flash first the Black Dual PK ROM available on the forum (in the WM6 section), or an official ROM available from the Wiki, for instance.
hi
tried to flash it with both and came out with same error
260 connection cant find device
and i cant even see any changes in devicemanager but it dose goes serial to usb when i connect
and my pc is not detecting the device (just like that depressed robot from hich hikers guide to galaxy )

xp (pc i am trying to upgrade i also have vista on other pc which i havent tried yet should i try that ?)
nop no luck in vista ether same error still no connection
both pc have netframework 2
activesync in xp and mobiledevice center in vista
but after connecting device nothing happens in device manager there is no new device
(could it be beacouse of faulty cable? )\\(noi have tryed 2 different cable )
is it worth getting cradle ??
No no. I think the problem comes from the flash utility that requires that the Athena be detected prior to flashing.
I know that with the Universal, some flashing utilities could force flashing when connecting the device already in bootloader mode...
So there must be an easy way to bypass the device detection and go on with the flash process. I'll try and find out, and maybe one of the gurus will cruise by and find it for ya in the meantime.
In the meantime, don't freak out and be patient. Your Athena's not bricked, probably the ROM that's screwed up. We only need to find a way to do that exclusively from the bootloader (chich I know is possible, that's the whole point of the bootloader ).

Hi
Try a hard reset ( Volume down+reset) and then get into the boot loader(Camera+reset~10seconds) then flash the PK dual rom. Don't panic, Your athena is hard spl patched therefore not bricked. If that not works down load the exact official rom for your device flash that then flash the PK dual rom. try Redownload the rom again.
Good luck

hi
thankes i think u understood the problem it is utility which fails before even starting beacouse of no connection see if u can find any thing
and yes i tryed hard reset and then tryed to flash with project black rom and i have downloaded latest t mobile rom from oficeal website but as i said before it fails with connection error it starts up and box says ''verifying information on your pda fone please wait'' and minut later it comes up with error 260 connection error '' please check following
1 your pdafone is connected to usb cable /cradle
2 usb cable connected to pc
(wich is basicly same if you try to nrun upgrade with out connectind pda )
(and yes i have tryed it with 2 different cables and it dose change from serial to usb)
some ting intrestin i foun in orignal update utility faq
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
is possible because device is in bootloader ?
or am i doing some ting wrong?
Reboot your PC, make sure you are not using a USB hub, try it with each USB port on the PC.

good idea but dident work after 4 on board ports and 2 hub ports no joy at all
by looks of it upgrade utility is trying to read info from my device and could be failing for 2 reasons
1 it is not detecting device
2 info in pda is corrupted and could not get any info from device
well thats my theory but not really sure any suggestions??
Is your PC running XP or Vista? I got the impression reading the post that XP machine works better in unlocking. I think the info was posted by Olipro himself if my memory is right.

if thats the the case i dont see any new devices in xp devicemanager
No no, it doesn't. Couldn't find it for Athena, but don't have much time lately, alas.
Maybe you should PM one of the gurus asking how to flash a ROM straight from bootloader without having the device detected by WinXP. I believe there's a small, easy manipulation to make, but can't remember it for the life of me. :-S

i found this in wiki and first three posts are empty but followed the procedure and downloaded all three roms and still no joy error
''Problems using the Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death
Using The Athena Unlocker tool (developed by Olipro) is a 3-stage process. Most users get through the first stage but as they start stage 2, get a black screen where their device becomes unresponsive and so cannot proceed with the unlocking. See these posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=169 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=176 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=226
It is always recommended that you first take out your MiniSD card. You can then follow the instructions below.
* Get one of the ROMs in this link and extract it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314672
* Get your device into bootloader (the three-colour screen; You can get there by pressing the Camera key + Volume key + Soft Reset at the same time)
* Connect your device to your PC (even if the PC shows no sign of recognising it, it does) and the SERIAL shown on the screen of your device will change to USB)
* Hit the ROM Upgrade Utility and upgrade your device.
* Once the upgrade is completed, configure your device (Calibrate screen, set time zone, etc).
* Now continue with the Unlocker, to the end.
It is important to complete the unlocker to the end or else you will miss out on flashing your radio, with a common symptom of your gps not working.
Good Luck and enjoy your improved device!

now i am still stuck will it make any difference if i try it in different xp pc other then the one i started the process ?(and screwed it up)
Please ensure all software firewall or IP filtering apps are turned off then reboot the PC. After rebooting, confirm the apps are not running and blocking anything. If you are unsure, then try it from a freshly installed XP.
Put the device in Bootloader mode and try it again.

good idea
i have already tryed with firewalls and virus protection off but doing it in fresh xp might just work small question do i need to install active sync or is it not needed (any way ill try both first without and then with )
ill report back in about 3 hours (i know i am sad and havent got a life but its worth a try )
Yes, the wiki confirms what I thought but didn't voice out loud as yet (I was sure about it for the Universal, but not for the Athena): the upgrade utility doesn't *require* that it be Activesynced. That's, as I'd said, te whole point of the bootloader.
If you still have problems uploading the new ROM to your Athena after following the wiki thing, then it *does* mean that there is some external factor playing dirty, so the firewall to check (and some anti-virus software also scan network connections) indeed is a good idea.
Keep us posted, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!
Device is a AT&T 8525. Thanks!

Try a different USB port first, fire the device into bootloader mode manually and see if the device is detected by windows as "HTC USB SYNC"........use a hardwired port NOT a USB Hub aswell.
I tried a different USB port. It is not being plugged in to an external USB hub. I went into the bootloader screen and my computer makes the sound that a USB device was plugged in and it does show in the device manager as "HTC USB SYNC". What now?
Now try to do an update, Sounds like a problem associated with the connection of the device to your machine...usually caused by messed up USB drivers or a conflicting program.
Just tried. Same error again. Tried restarting the computer and tried it again. No dice.
this is the answer
hey man, how u doing. I was getting those errors too, I actually have a Tilt, I got error 200, and 260 trying to change my rom, I was about to give up. then I tried something I didn't think of, I updated my device center software from Microsoft and then miraculously everything worked after that. If you have XP update your Active sync software to the latest one and everything should work after that. Hope this helps.
and one more thing, make sure you install HardSPL v1 (or later when its released) first before trying to install the ROM.
I don't think anything is wrong with your usb drivers
I had actually checked to make sure I had the most recent version already and I do. I cannot install HardSPL either, since it gives me error 260 there also.
Error 260 is an open port error... I believe you have already tried resetting your device, but have you rebooted your pc prior to this procedure... I am grasping at straws for you, since you said you have tried soft resetting to no avail... I believe MrVanx stated to put the phone in bootloader mode and try to run the update utility that way... It works for me...
Can you try this on a different pc? If so, does it work? I have a post on another forum that you might find interesting... I did not compile it on my own, but cannot recall where I got it from... anyway, the link is HERE...
Hope this helps you out...
I have restarted the computer multiple times. I just tried it on my laptop and that did not work. I can boot the phone to the bootloader, but how do I install it from there?
That should be the easiest part... once you have it in bootloader mode, connect it via usb and then launch the update utility...
I get error 260 doing that also. argh!!!
i know how u feel
i had your problem several times. you want to know how i fixed it?
i didn't...
first i tried everything you and the guys mentioned and... nothing. then it worked the next day by itself.
the second time i couldn't connect i was really mad because the errors came sporadically. i tried installing AS, uninstalling, hard resetting the device, changing usb ports, anything logical and illogical and it worked on changing usb ports (but not on the first change).
now i'm at my girlfriends, had no problems until i saw farias new rom and wanted to flash it. guess what connection error
p.s. i've read trough and trough, but i've found no solution
what version and OS?

yeah, I thought u would dget that again. i don't believe the error is originating from your phone, its more from the computer. what operating system are you using and whats the version number for activeSync or MS Device Center you are using?
I had that error on my home pc and on my girlfriend's laptop prior to updating my device center software. My pc is running Vista ultimate x64 and my girlfriend's laptop is running Vista Home Premium x32. I'm on her laptop right now, the version of device center is 6.1.6965. when I get home I will see which version is on my computer, I remember seeing "beta" on the one I got at home, lol, I didn't know Microsoft sent out beta software through its msupdate.
okeven, someone replied with good suggestions to the thread that u accidentally started over in the kaiser forum. you might want to check that out
I have version 6.1.6965 also. It does not say anything about it being a beta version, but with Microsoft, isn't everything in beta stage?
I did try the "official wm6 AT&T" version. Upgraded just fine. Tried upgrading to another one. Failed with error 260. What is different with the official upgrade program compared to the unofficial ones. THAT is the problem.
help
hi guys,
i have the same problem always the code 260, and also, my tytn's screen become within light, and without any boot number, ni radio, anything appears, please help me,,
thanks,
Finnaly
Hi guys
I also have the 260 problem but i resolved it:
1º- connect pda and make a active sync connection
2º run RUU
3º the 3-color screen will appear and update will stop with the 260 message error. be sure you can install the "qualcomm cdma technologies msm driver" at this moment, by an internet connection.
4º after the driver is installed, the word "USB" will appear in the white strip of the 3 color screen;
5º run RUU again and that´s all!
I´ve tried it in windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
hi,
I had the same issue on my second flash... I resolved it by ignoring all .exe's (which I like in general).
So I copied the .nbh onto the card, renamed to Kovsimg.nbh, bootlader mode, done

Hi gys, I think that this is my first post, but I want to share some solution for with you. The most important think with "connection" errors is to have HSPL installed correctly. I was trying to install on my HD2 universal ones, like Hard spl v7 and 9, but problems occured. So after trying everything, I found HSPL (on this forum) just for HD2. After that, everything wass like a charm
I used the search function but it still isnt working for me. I picked up a locked 8525 from a guy off craigslist. Its stuck on the tri-color bootscreen. He said it worked fine until he took his sim card out and reinserted it today. he said he didnt flash the ROM or anything. I tried the wiki suggested fixes to no avail. I installed active sync and unchecked the allow usb connections and tried to reboot the phone. Nothing. It said it couldnt find my phone. Pulled the battery, reset, nothing. Please help. He gave it to me for $50 because it was stuck.

Downloaded and tried to flash your stock rom? Or via the SD card method, can you get it into the bootloader?
Thank you for replying. I downloaded the WM6 upgrade directly from the HTC site. After I downloaded it to my computer and plugged in the phone to run the program it got to a point then said "ERROR, replace installer" something along those words. It appeared to me that the WM6 version from HTC was outdated or too old to be loaded. Its stuck on the 3 color screen so I assume thats the bootloader screen. I am going to try it again on a different computer at work this morning.
Downloaded the ROM from HTC. Plugged in the phone and got ERROR 260. Unplugged it and changed to another USB and same thing. Its as if the computer doesnt recognize the phone at all.
Nothing. Computer doesnt recognize the phone. Should I try downloading a ROM to a micro SD card then inserting it? Will it load on its own when inserted?
Whats the SPL on the bootloader (tri-colour screen)?
You need to have Hard SPL on your phone before you try to upgrade the os using the sd card method. If its Hard SPLed then the SPL should say SPL : 2.10 olipro.

Thats what it says SPL-2.10.Olipro. I tried the sd card method an it would say Update completed then when I did a softreset it jumped back to the bootloader screen. When I try the USB method, the computer cant connect to the device. Its not the computer because my colleague connected his iphone to the same port and it works.
i have just got one of these phones as a update from my poor poor xda2i.. as i wanted wm6
i had a prob with the pc not connecting, i was trying to connect to it using a powered usb hub, u have to use a usb port directly connected to your pc, with no hubs or extenders, this worked 100% for me, and you are using a pc running XP not vista? as the flashing software was only designed for 2k/xp, this was the same with my old xda2i
and pls dont mention *spit* the iphone *spit* in a xda forum!!! LOL
ha ha, I wont mention the "other" phone anymore. How do I tell if its a direct port and not a powered one? Yes, I'm using XP on both my computers.

OK, best thing to try is to see if theres bad blocks on the device.
Leave the device in bootloader, run mtty.exe and connect to USB.
use the command "info 8" to see if there are bad blocks....paste the output here for us.
downloaded mtty.exe and I dont have the USB port in the pulldown menu. Just com1 com4 ports

reloaded mtty.exe and went down to USB. Hit OK and a pop up said USB port can not open
I will try to find a picture of the screen its stuck on
This what my screen looks like. This is how I got the phone as well. It will flash a ROM but when I soft reset it, it goes back to this screen. I followed the WIKI guide for flashing via sdCard was great! I followed the instructions perfectly. I soft reset by pushing in the button on the bottom of the phone and thats it. Nothing else. What am I doing wrong? Also, mtty.exe says it cant open USB port. Do I leave those other settings alone?

hmm looks strangely like the image from my guide site??
tbh if you cant access the bootloader with mtty we cant help you....you most likely have bad blocks which is causing it not to boot.

I may have to sell it for parts. Its super bricked. I have loaded 3 different ROMS, OS onlys, on sdCards to no avail. I tried 4 different computers and its still stuck in bootloader. I am about to run it over with my car
Hi,
I have had my 8125 for about 2 1/2 years now, love it!. Just the other day, it started locking up and giving me the white screen of death.
I tried to flash it with a rom, and it got to 99% and then lost connection. Tried to do the recovery, but that failed too.
I have found alot of good information from the smart and wonderful people on this forum and tried a bunch of stuff.. but I am now stuck.
Now, I can always boot into the bootloader, and it says USB over the left softkey, but no apps can connect to the phone.
I tried to use other RUU roms, HardSPL, SoftSPL, etc...I tried to unlock my CID using the thread in this forum, but SoftSPL couldnt connect to the phone via USB.
All apps error with "error unable to connect to device."
I have read the forum about having a bad mimi-USB port, but I dont think thats my case.
Please help! I am pretty close
Dell D620 CoreDuo 1.8Ghz; WinXP SP2
ActiveSync 4.5
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001

Ok,first,no other custom build rom will flash on it,except official stock rom of the carrieror,however, you can try wizard_love rom,as it has patched IPL/SPL (Bootloaders),so don't try to flash any other custom build,as its a G4,custom rom can only be flashed through SoftSPL or HardSPL.
Download official carrier's stock rom and wizard_love rom.
Secondly,
1.Disable activesync or rather uninstal it altogether,as its not needed during flashing a rom.
2.End process 'wcescomm.exe' in the 'windows Task Manager.
3.Clear and delete the 'Temp Folder' files
4.Run 'Disk Cleaner'
5.Disable all Anti Virus and Firewall.
6.Try to stop/disable all running programs in the background via 'Task Manager'
7. Get the battery fully charged,as many comm errors are due to weak or discharged battery.
After doing all this,get the phone in Bootloaders before connecting with pc via usb cable,there shudn't be any usb at the bottom of the Bootloaders,now connect with pc and check if usb appears at the bottom,if its there than,its establishing connection,go ahead and run official stock or wizard_love rom.Don't use the pc or play games or check emails,don't even do any word,excell or any office application.Check if any application/program interferes with the flash,either disable or remove that program.
Does the battery get charged through usb cable ? verify it.
If after getting the phone into bootloaders and connecting through usb cable,small usb doesn't appear,it means there's a connectivity problem,replace the usb cable and verify it again.Even try with another pc with winXP or change the usb input port of the pc ,put the usb cable in some other usb port on the pc.
Apart from all these,I don't find any reason for not getting the flash completed
Hi,
Thanks for the help.. I tried the wizzard_love rom, and then went to the NBD_v8.3 /w TouchFlo rom and thats awesome!
my biggest issue was not able to connect to the device although it looked like it should have.
on another thread someone said to leave the battery out for 5 mins. I did that and all of a sudden it started to connect consistantly.
After that I did the HardSPL and started flashing and all is well..
Thanks for your help!!!!
