I have tried many times to upgrade the Rom Image on my HTC Tytn (Cingular 8525) with no success. I am getting a 260 error with the program located at this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
I did first run the unlocking application to unlock both SIM and CID before running the upgrade.
I followed all the steps exactly and have had no success...
The following might be effecting my attempt:
I am running my pc on Vista
I am syncing with Windows Mobile Device Center
I have tried to solve this problem for about two weeks. Can anyone help me?
Mrvanx has a guide on how to prepare Vista for flashing, you can find it here.
This information still did not work. I get a 260 error even after updating the driver, which I did not do until now.
After investigating furthur I have realized what the error is:
As soon as the RUU says "Verifying Information on your PDA Phone..." the second time and forces the device to enter bootloader, the usb connection is lost between the device and the pc. Investigating furthur, the connection to my tytn is lost every time I enter bootloader, whether it is by Power+OK+SoftReset or forced by RUU. Does anyone know how to fix this bootloader connection problem?
Same problem

Use the RUU wrapper with the NBH file you want to upgrade.
I still have the same issue, even when using the RUU Wrapper and any nhb.
don't use vista
Ok, got one step furthur
I reached the point where the ROM Begins to update, which is VERY good...
The ROM update Reaches 1%, then waits for 20 minutes...
Then I get a 262 error and have to go through recovery, try again, with the same result.
i have same problem plz help thnx in advance

Have you tried removing or adding a checkmark to the USB to PC in CONNECTIONS on your device? I remember having a similar problem when I installed Radio Rom 1.38 that my USB connection was lost with the pc . I am using XP when flashing so if you have no luck then do this on a XP machine.
Forgot to ask! What ROM are you trying to flash??
@compwiz2008 and ahmerpar
I read somewhere that running windows update will update WMDC........maybe give that a shot?
Maybe you can try to upgrade your ROM from your SD card.
Nope
Let me try that...
Still did not work
I'm probably going to just take my phone to a computer repair shop and pay them to deal with it, since I'm evedently doing something wrong.
I was trying to upgrade to radio v1.43 in the hope that battery life was improved over 1.41 however when it got to 8% it stopped and gave me an error i can't remember After atempting to recover, it got off the three colour screen now the 3100 stalls on the blackshadow version4 screen (bootloader screen?) and goes no further. I tried reflashing but got a 260 and using mtty, only getting 2 com port options, didn't offer any help.
I'm really sorry to have not been able to sort this with reading through the relevant post but I haven't found a solution. What else can I try?
Hi,
Could you pls advise what is your device made, model, SPL version ... etc.
Also did you try to do Hard reset?
I'm using now black MAJIK (and few days ago black shadow) with radio 1.43 with no problem.
its the SPV m3100 When I decided to go Black shadow I read up on mr vanx and made sure I had all the things I needed. If I remember right, when I came to upgrade to Majik the auto detect found the second option down
SPL-1.04/1.10 - 1.09 Bootloader. I've realized since I had a spaz and ran the RUU from the archive this time. From what I've since read thats not too cleaver.
I have tried a hard reset and took the battery out instead of pressing space.
I dont know if this information on the starter screen is of use
M 05
S 04
B 05 D 3lak
I'm not sure, but hard reset doesnt mean you take the batery out.
Please check that link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset
I was in your position (hanged on booting) few days ago, and when i did hard reset, it changes every thing to basic normal condition.
i meant when i did a hard reset when it asked me to press space to reboot I took the battery out. I tried again this time pressing space to reboot but I still get stuck on the loading screen. I can't connect by USB to the PC I'm guessing the drivers on the phone haven't loaded and I'm stuck as to what to do.
Does anyone have any ideas?
try look at it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
ok I've tried everything I can think of to connect the 3100 to the computer so I can reflash it but mtty gives only com 1 and com2 but no USB and neither those two work, active sync wont connect so I disabled it as suggested and running the radio ruu and wrapper wont querry the device. I am now at a loss as to what to do next someone must know what I should do. Please?
what is your SPL?

I have tried changing KITL trasport but I am unable to select or chose either option. I have also tried the rversion command in the tri colour screen but nothing happens. I hope I'm missing something nice and simple but I get the feeling I'm not going to be that lucky. Please help

I suggest you check again, press and hold the side OK button and the power button...then put the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the unit.
yeah I've done that it's "SPL-1.09"
I had this exact problem yesterday, with the same bootloader too. The phone would not pass the splash and IT refused to upgrade. I ended up downgrading to a shipped wm5 rom (in my case the cingular 1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00) which to my surprise actually worked as no rom radio or spl upgrade moved at al on my phone. Then upgraded back to black majik. I hope this helps.
Thanks. I downloaded the trial of wm5 from the windows website and it asked me to install .NET framework version 1 so I got that but it turns out to be 2.0 not 1.1 It would say it had repaired but it would say this with or without the phone connected.

Just download a WM5 ROM from the wiki page!
ok tried this too no luck.
Trying to use the one from orange (linked to through wikki) I get an 294 invalid vendor error however active sync cannot connect yet of course so is this to be expected?
I have however gotten a connection with mtty which is a step forward dunno what to do with it yet though except trying the password 0000000000000000 command but it not disabling the password. This then lead me to read for a further hour how to change it and I've got to be honest; it beat me. I have No idea what the hell its talking about. My head hurt with so much reading.
I get a no gsm pop up v briefly on loader. I so want my phone back
I have since tried CID unlocker just so i get something installed onto this brick but I either get a connection error or it telling me it can't install for some other reason. I can not set the password in mtty to 0000000000000000 so how do I do that and is this the first step to getting things sorted? "just running a rom install" is not happening I can get a USB connection in mtty and that is it. Is the fact i'm running SPL 1.09 a problem? I'm getting precious little help guys If i'm posting in the wrong place or something please let me know. I need thing thing back now. Hours are drifting by with me trying to get some head knowledge but I still need some guidance please

can u flashing HARD V7?,i think better u have IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10olipro first ,then try to flashing radio?
and did u try SD card.
In bootloader can anyone here connect with active sync? I can't so updating rom and radio flashes in the usual way isn't possible. Trying the hard spl again it tells me to make sure active sync is connected and as it isn't it throws back a 262 update error. 0% on the hermes and that's currently as far as I can get. I have no means with which to access the memory card.
The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because your CID doesnt match....download a ROM which is for your device (an orange one?)...then try.
You need to read the wiki alot more before trying anything else since you are not aware of the vendor ID error...nor the fact you MUST use HardSPL.
I linked to the orange ROM from wikki and tried installing it. it was while installing THIS ROM SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe I got invalid vendor error.
Installing a recent DL on HARD spl v7 I get a 240 open file error that's one I haven't had before.
With all other attempts they all say they want an active sync connection.
I can not connect to the phone through active sync
so all attempts by me to flash anything to the phone using an RUU fails.
Hello, gents.
Trying to upgrade SPL with v7 on a friends 8525 but getting timeout or connection dropped. When attempting to install, it's get's as far as rebooting the device after accepting "yes". It then attempts the SPL install and eventually error 260 shows on the workstation screen with the raibow screen left on the device.
Read somewhere that .NET 2.0 would correct this but I already have it installed.
Error 260 on "Official" WM6 ROM

I am having the same error message crop up when I try to install the latest ROM from HTC.
I am on Vista (but that really doesn't matter because A: I followed mrvanx's instructions to add the proper driver and B: I get the same crap from my roomate's XP machine).
When I run the ROM, it checks the PC, and then I get to the wizard. I check that I know this will erase my device, and then I check that I have done all of the things I need to do (activesync, etc.)
I acknowledge that I want to upgrade, and that I am going from my old ROM to the latest ROM, and click next...
At which time my phone screen goes dark and drops my connection via sync and the update bar stays at 0%. 30 seconds later I have a message come up that says Erro [260]: Connection, and some piss poor advice from HTC that says restart and reconnect everything and try again...
My Phone(Herm100 AT&T 8525) is running:
HardSPL 2.10 (v.7)
ROM Version 2.15.502.3
Radio 1.40.30.00
Protocol 32.73.7020.16H
HAAAAALLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
Hey All,
I'm at my wits end here. I got a new phone through Sprint's phone replacement program a week or so ago and decided to flash it today, that's when my problem started.
I've searched Google, PPCGeeks, SmartphoneJunkie, and XDA-Devs and tried all the suggestions but still seem to have no luck getting around the 262 Error when I try to flash to HardSPL 0.37.
When I enter bootloader, I face the following screen:
Security Unlocked
RAPH800
SPL-0.40.0000
MicroP-Herman (LED) v0C85
MicroP-Herman (KEY) v0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
USB
Initially I tried flashing after I plugged it in. Error 262. I realized I forgot to associate it through WMDC (through a clean install) so I did that and tried again. Error 262. I searched around and realized I didn't deselect "Enable Advanced Network Functionality". Changed it, tried again, Error 262. I tried it on my desktop (Win7 x64), my laptop (Win7RC x32), and my old desktop (WinVista x32) all with Error 262. Knowing it was a communications error, I disabled Windows Firewall and all AV products thinking maybe they blocked something. Still Error 262. I even re-downloaded the Hard SPL package. Big surprise, Error 262.
I read in my travels that the shown Security Unlocked banner is for Radio only, so I know I have to flash to SPL-0.37 before I try any other flashing.
Suggestions, Please??

it doesn't seem like you are doing the process 100% correct. unlocking your phone really doesn't have much to do with activesync, as that part is only needed to actually move the files to your device.
you are supposed to initiate the hardspl from the device itself with the .nbh file present on the sd card. your sd card may have something to do with it, it should be FAT32 formatted & probably no larger than 4gb.
feel free to get at me thru PM/IM/EMAIL watever & we'll figure it out man. GL
Just bought this phone on an internet auction and tried to update it to wm 6.1, but when I enter to bootloader, it goes 2%, 4% and then it just turns off and I get this error message on my PC saying "Error [270] - update error". Tried 2 different roms, same thing happened, even tried hardSPL, also got the same error. Any ideas how to avoid this problem? Thanks in advance.

are you have unlocked your device with the XDA ALL UNLOCK at the time of going to Flash ROM..??
Um, probably not, all I did was try to hardSPL the device, but as I said, the problem occurs.
Well? Any solutions?

try to hard reset device after that you can flash back with official ROM
Well I already tried hardSPL, but as I said, I got the same error while trying to preform it.

can you show your steps in doing flash hardSPL..??
Well sure, my device is fully charged and connected to USB, I run "ROMUpdateUtility", check whatever needs to be checked, go next, next... and it starts the process, I see 100% on it and after few seconds I get this error saying "update error" and my device restarts itself.

you're copying sspl.exe on your device..??
What you also have to run SDA ApplicationUnlock will do it at the time..?
try to follow instruction that have been given
No, I'm not copying anything on my device, all I did is connect it to my PC via USB and run bootloader, thats it.
I haven't been given any instructions for preforming hardSPL.
EDIT: I just used SDA ApplicationUnlock, said "Phone is not unlockable", then when I pressed OK, it says "SDA successfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!" Did that, tried HardSPL once more, again I got the same error message.

of course you get an error message because you do not copy spl.nb, spl.lnk and jumpspl.exe to the root device ..! it means you did not follow procedures or instructions given...
you try to flash back and follow the instructions given, OK
Sigh, all the same problems doing these upgrades. Please read first about the various unlocks here. Then come back and let me explain further:
You MUST application unlock your device. So far you have NOT done it! Search for an "on-device" application unlock called "HTC Unlock" - this will do the trick (it basically macros a signed registry editor) and a subsequent run of the SDA Application unlock will succeed (not sure if still needed though).
The CID check avoidance by using an SPL replacement will only work if 1.) has succeeded
Good luck
First you must unbrick Device, upgrade SHIP ROM etc...
