Hello,
I found this forum, I have found a lot of things ... Intrigued me too reinstalling all of you cell phone, while I found some great ROM, so I thought I'll try it, I've read that if I want to install unofficial ROM, so I had to unlock the phone, but that is the problem when you want to unblock HSPL3 through, so I always get kind of error ... The program I run, I do, then connect phone via ActiveSync, while it is doing something and then I will write this error:
DFT HSPL3 for HTC Leo
CRITICAL ERROR
Flow:00000001
Error code:00000002
Discription: USB Connect failed!
Someone please advise me what can I do?
btw sorry for bad English... :/
did you try different usb ports?
do you use a desktop or notebook? if you use a desktop, make sure you plug the hd2 directly into the mainboard, not into a front usb port.
DN41
Yes, I tried all 4 USB ports, the error is still the same :/... And I have a notebook.... When I want to transfer files via the USB port, so in that there is no problem, it goes all the USB ports in order, just off this for me makes this error
did you try to flash hspl right out of the bootloader?
if not, put your phone into bootloader (power off and volume down button).
connect it via usb with your notebook. if the bootloader shows USB, you're connected. try to flash it now...
no warranty that it'll work..afaik its no problem, i did that some times before with success
DN41
notepad ports are likely to run through a single header, so could be the reason.
got a pc you can try?
I don't know whether this will solve the problem. I'm on Vista, using a notebook computer.
When I try to install, I always get error. But right-clicking on the file, then installing as administrator solved the problem for me. Maybe you could try?
Sorry if it doesn't work...

Please help! I have a Softbank HTC Tytn and just came across this amazing forum today. I'm a techno-literate person so this is even more frustrating... I simply cannot get Activesync (or my laptop for that matter) to recognize my Tytn...
When connected via USB it appears under Network Adaptors in my Device Manager as "Windows Mobile-based Device #3" and has the ! because it has no drivers.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 worldwide English version downloaded from the Microsoft site.
Please help me, I became very excited at the prospect of unlocking this awesome phone but then was crushed to find I couldn't even begin the first step!
I have the USB cable plugged directly into the laptop, not via a passthru like a hub, and I have tried it in multiple ports without success.
Save me guys, please!
Perhaps my problem is that I don't have a driver for the device that allows Windows XP to recognize it?
Could someone please post a link, or the file itself, of the driver you use for your HTC?
You should not need any special drivers just for activesync or usb-serial connections to the device.
Drivers are only needed if you want to use it as a modem.
then has anyone else had this problem? do you have any suggestions pof? this is driving me nuts...

Disable activesync if it is connected, put the device in bootloader mode and try to connect to it using mtty. If you get the "USB>" prompt you can do everything, you don't need activesync at all for unlocking or flashing roms, everything can be started with the device in bootloader mode.
if it sheds any light on the problem, when i plug it in instead of the usual "do-doo" rising intonation sound you get with a successful USB interface, i get a "duhduhduh" meaning it's connected, but not recognized...
ok i'll try that, sorry i wasn't aware that getting activesync to work wasn't a prerequisite for the other steps
i've never felt so stupid
i've downloaded mtty, and read and reread the wiki
my hermes is in bootloader mode, and mtty connects on port 3 but i don't get a USB> prompt, i just get a window named "COM3 115200 N-8-1" and a nice empty white space
i have no idea what to do now
i was planning on following this seemingly effortless writeup/summary by okinz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=9
but now i've got nothing.
i'm really sorry to bother you, but please don't give up on me!
i cannot make a connection using USB with mtty btw... forgot to include that
1) dumb question: did you select "USB" on mtty drop down list?
2) Do you have another computer where you can try?
3) Which windows version are you using?

1) yes, no connection
2) i just tried just plugging in the Tytn on my roommate's laptop, he got a different usb message, windows recognized it as a "Generic NDIS device" but failed to install it for lack of driver, is this what is supposed to happen? mine doesn't do this at all
3) windows XP SP2
update - just rebooted for about the 10th time and this time it recognized it as an NDIS and activesync has found it
i guess it was just a windows thing... *shrugs* i'll post again once i've tried the next steps

Hi.
I am a bit embarrassed about writing this, I never thought I would make a brick of my Prophet during “upgrades”...
But here I am, with a phone that don't want to sync with any computer after I accidentally pressed cancel on an active sync dialog box asking for setup with a new device, during upgrade to the latest Touch VIII. Have upgraded several times with several different ROM’s before, but this time things went wrong.
If I choose to start my device normally, it goes trough the HTC screen and stops after the Qtek (HTC in Norway) screen listing the different versions of the hardware…
When I restart to boot loader (Cam button + reset) the 3 colours turn up ok, but when I put an USB cable in the device and the lower, left part of the screen shows USB, active sync will not recognise any new device no matter what I do.
I can still find the Prophet when I go to properties on the computer, but somehow active sync does not care about that.
Are there any way to use a program at the host computer to sync properly with the Prophet?
I would really appreciate any help that could rectify this problem.
Regards, Lars Norway
I believe the " WM6 Upgrade Guide" thread has the info you needed.

Tried the info there without success...
The guide assumes that you have connection with ActiveSync, but I can not seem to get connection.
So, I really need some advice about how to make a connection to the computer I will make the programming from, when ActiveSync is not working properly.
Have tried to restart both the device and the host computer, have reinstalled ActiveSync, have tried to start the different roms without having a connection to A.S., but no luck...
Have realized my mistake and bought a new Prophet, but would still like to get the old one working again.
it has nothing to do with activesync.
Not sure u really understand the below statement from the thread I mentioned.
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
in case you can't NVID roms, you can still use those step1 roms mentioned by ROM gurus here.

Well, the problem is that I am not able to connect...
As far as I understand, the only way to connect is by using ActiveSync?
Regards
connect = the cable between prophet and your pc. after that just run the rom update utility. just dun bother the activesync (does it sound logical to u to establish activesync in bootloader mode?)
OK, I have tried it, but will try on some different computers also.
Posting in a couple of hours.
Thanks for your help so far!
then wish u good luck. happy un-bricking.
OK, same as before.
Depending on which ROM I try, the following messages are the result:
Error [300]: Invalid update tool.
Error [274]: Connection (The update utillity cannot connect to your PDA phone.)
If I try the Touch VIII direct, it stops in Initializing for a while, and then a message appears with the text: Cannot connect to device, Would I like to try again?
Besides, in the welcome screen during the "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" in the Prophet_PV_Temp program, step nr. 2. asks me to ""Establish an ActiceSync connection with your PDA phone."
So, no change from yesterday yet...
are you using windows vistA???
Have only been using computer with XP Pro installed.
Anybody of the opinion that the connection tools built into Vista might do a better job?

No, on the contrary. The best change you have is XP. Zeroed asked about Vista because it could be the reason of your troubles.
What I should do is just one detail different of what you have already tried:
Put the prophet in bootloader.
DISable "allow USB conection" in the conection-setting panel of ActiveSync
Connect your prophet with the USB cable
Run the NVID RUU again
If that is succesfull, you can upgrade to the WM6 ROM you like.
OK, will do.
Tried Vista just now, same errors and no luck.
Be posting in a minute...
OK, now I'm back.
Made a restart of the host computer, changed settings in ActiveSync, startet my device in Bootloader...
But unfortunately, no more success this time either.
Feel that the device must be more seriously defective/broken than others, this mishap happend at the end of the programming, when the 3 partitions were being written in the device. I was loading Touch VIII...
Anybody know if there is any more combination of buttons or reset methodes I could try?
Next step is to start opening the Prophet...

Just wondering if your computer detects prophet as a device at all? Does the normal plug device sound comes on when you plug in? Just a long shot, stick in a SD card and try with windows media player to see if it can sync or put files onto SD card. if so, get rom refreshed via SD card...
try few hard resets before you try this.
Not quite sure I understood what you suggested. I can get the device up in the host computers machine properties, but there is no way to get it up in any other program - like the Windows explorer.
Or are you saying that there is a way to boot the Prophet directly from a SD card? That would impress me!!!

This sounds dumb, but try restarting your PC, closing all apps running in background (including firewalls), restarting Prophet (with stylus in reset hole). DO NOT TRY TO USE ACTIVE SYNC. Boot into bootloader (Three colours screen), connect USB cable and flash QTEK lastest official, or Jesterz AKU 3.3 (I have found this ROM to have magical powers of unbricking.)
Good luck!

Hmm this is wierd.I ran into problem earlier this month trying to flash a ROM but got stuck somewhere. So I followed the steps given in the sticky thread. Everything work smoothly. I am using XP SP2 and mine is a G3.
Let's make the assumption that your PDA is not faulty. Maybe you can try the steps again but this time :-
1. Change to another USB cable (or you may test the existing cable by connecting to a working pda)
2. Change to another USB port
3. Make sure you are not running any program that hogs the USB resource
4. If you are using USB hub, please don't connect using it. Make a direct connection to your computer.
that's all I can offer now...hope it helps.
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 )
Do you have Windows XP or Vista ?

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.
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

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?

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
I just got my phone back from repair and I'm trying to install HardSPL. The installer for some reason isn't able to tell that the phone is connected and even though the phone says "USB" in the bootloader, HSPL doesn't see it.
HSPL is just stuck saying "Waiting for USB..."
Any hints? I'm using windows 7

make sure u are conected to the internet for driver update
chek your cable ))
make sure that your usb connection is set to active sync (on your device)
I had already tried all of the above and it didn't work.
(with regards to the activesync thing, the HSPL installer automatically took my phone into bootloader mode. So I don't think there was any issue there)
In the end, I just went and used a different computer.
I have a laptop, and i had the same problem. My solution was to connect my phone through another usb port on my computer (main usb port) try it with the other usb ports.
Hope this helped you

Hmmm interesting....
However, the same USB port on my computer works for flashing ROMs and Radios so I doubt that is the problem. In fact, I used the same USB port for flashing the NRG rom straight after I hard spl'd my phone!
My solution was to just use another computer.
Thanks for your response. Hopefully this thread might help some guy in the future in a similar situation.

actually just cos a port works for flashing means nothing. you can flash and sync through case mounted ports and usb hubs, but hspl won't work on those same ports.
