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
cheers

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
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

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!!!!
Hey guys,
When I bought my Omnia 2 with WM 6.1 on it, it worked great but when I went and installed the stupid PC studio software that came with the phone I tryed to update and now my phone has either a thing saying
"DOWNLOAD MODE!
Do not turn off.
It takes about 10 minuites."
or it will have a symbol of a phone connecting to a "!" next to a computer symbol.
I can no longer use this phone if anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
hahaha to funny bricked means it no longer turns on meaning you don't even get the download mode. its just like a useless brick. But anyways to the problem at hand, there is only one way to brick the omnia and that is if you flash the eboot which you have not done since it still works and turns on.
Unplug from USB cable and turn it of and/or take out the battery. Put the battery back in and plug it into your PC and try to update it with PC studio and see if it works it should not have an issue. Repeat the steps if it fails but this time start PC studio first and then plug in the omnia and see if that works.
If all else fails you need to get OCTANS and download the official firmware for your region or a custom firmware if you want. I'm assuming you have a I8000 which OCTANS is used to flash don't know if that is the case with other omnia 2 as well. Visit this site and look for OCTANS and all the firmware you need. Since you are flashing anyways i would recommend you flash JD3 ROMS so you have the latest. Either go official ROM or go Lite i myself am using tw2 lite ROM.
I went to that site and nothing on there says anything about "OCTANS" so could you possibly give me a link of some sort to what I need.
I've tried running PC Studio on XP and Vista with no luck on getting the computer to even see the phone anymore so I've just about given up on the whole thing.

Here is the Octans Downloader's latest version. Just run it (If you are using Windows Vista or 7, set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2), select the appropriate parts in various slots, click Detect Device and then turn off and plug your phone into usb cable. It will detect the phone, then just press Start and wait for the process to complete.
In addition to these steps, you might also need to update activesync drivers and install Samsung CDMA Modem drivers if you are using Windows 7 or Vista. For more details, see this thread :
http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/299070/tut-flashing-rom-using-octans/
I hope you get back your phone soon!
Good luck and Cheers!
same problem - cannot flash: the phone is stuck with an image of a mobile device, a pc, and a (!) sign in between.
unable to hard reset, unabe to flash - octan does not detect the phone...
any chance to save my phone?
1. get the ROMs from modaco site.
2. Start Octans and follow the ROM update guide in modao.
3. Click detect in Octans.
4. Power off phone (remove battery and insert back in ur case).
5. connect phone to PC/laptop (do not use any usb hub).
6. u shd see the download button becomes ungrey. click it to flash.
the download button remains grey......
what OS are u using?
If it's vista or win 7 and whether it is 32bit or 64bit.
The solutions are at modaco.
i read modaco.
the device is stuck: when i turn it on, the screen shows only one image:
an image of a mobiel device, a pc, and in between a (!) sign.
cannot hard reset device, cannot do anything.
am using vista, and followed all protocol from modaco (first time was able to flash - thats how the device got bricked).
octans (or the pc) does not detect the device when i connect it to the - that is the problem...
OK I now have installed the CDMA drivers and i'm running OCTANS in XP SP2 mode what OS should I download to use with the phone and how big will it be?
Thanks so much for the help guys.
And btw is there any versions that will keep the samsung virtual keypad and things like that (not the damn cube though)?
like i menchioned get a lite ROM I use tw2 ROM's Garys are good to. I like tw2 ROM because they are totally stipped ROMS except for samsung dialer and SMS and he gives cabs of all the apps so people can restore what they use. Garys is also very nice lite ROM with the basic apps that mainly everyone uses. Its your choice really what you want you can install the JD3 stock ROM as well, but why? when these lite ROM's giuve you more RAM.
As for drivers you may need to search on the site i don't have the links because there are new updated drivers for windows 7 which should work on vista too. When using octans make sure to hit detect and then plug in the phone (phone must be off) then click start. You only need to flash the PDA unless other parts messed up during the update, you won't know till you flash.
Driver installation:
1.) Turn off Phone
2.) Plug into PC
3.) Let it install the default drivers
4.) Go into device manager
5.) Go under the phone menu
6.) Update drivers and follow the steps and when asked which location point to the driver you just downloaded.
flash i8000
PROBLEM-HEPL pls..

Ok, I have flashed my Wimo phones more times then I can count.
New to Andriod and I have not been able to get Fastboot to work.
I boot phone to bootloader and select fastboot wait about 10 sec and plug phone into my comp and it never shows fastboot. I have tryed this more then a few times with no luck.
I have read so much in here and on modoco, but I guess I am missing something.
All I want to do is flash to 2.1
Streak (ATT on stock 1.6)
Thank you for you help.
Gary
Why don't you just download the package and mount it to the sd and update? That's what I did.
I keep checking for the update.
but it saying my device is up to date.
Download it from Modaco. It says it's just for custom recovery or O2 Streaks, but it works with AT&T too.
http://www.streaksmart.com/
well, down loaded that pkg. put on my sd card renamed update.pkg
startes to load the stops and gives me a error
FOTA mismatch and reboots.
Well I did have the beta leak of 2.1 already on. You could try downloading that one and trying to flash (6941) What about fastboot though.... after you take the battery out and put it back in, power on holding camera, choose fastboot wait 10 secs and then are you double clicking the fastboot battery file?
Well still a no go for me.
I think this thing will just sit untill Dell gives me 2.2..
its just doesnt stand up to my HD2.
Oh well Andriod so far has not impressed me at all.
Thank you for your help.
Gary
Hey, don't go blaming Android. This is my first Android phone in there is a lot to learn. I was a winmo guy too and it's not like I just picked that up in a second. Many people have succeeded in doing what you are attempting....and they have written about it. Go back and read until you get it right, or maybe it's not for you.
Oh, I am not blaming Andriod.
It must be me not grasping something.
Just have been working on it all day and have not got anywhere with it.
Its your drivers. What os are you using?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I am on windows XP.
Find any of the gazillion instructions that tell you how to manually update the correct drivers. .
Blame windowsnot android. ...
You need the correct drivers, from the sound of things.
I Have the same issue.... and YES I have read all the instructions and guides. Even updating the drivers manually from about 6 different sources including the SDK itself and I still cannot get the drivers to install. I had this problem before with my Desire but it was easily fixed with the Drivers update, but not now....
I had the same problem with the drivers, I was unable to do anything until I read where someone said "install the Dell PC Suite" which is located on the SD card. Once I did that everything worked.
I have tryed with Dell pc suite, no go.
then I tryed with Pdanet, no go.
I have read and tryed 3 different ways of doing this and still cant get it.
Have some things I have to do this morning then I will start fresh again and give it a go.
I will hard reset the streak, remove everything I have alreday download on my pc and start new.
I know I am not a idoit, but after yesterday I am starting to wonder.
Install dell PC suite. Connect via fastboot. Wait at least 10 seconds before plugging In the usb. If it still says 'Wait for USB FastBoot detect...', see if Device Manager shows it as 'Android 1.0' and says the driver is not installed. If so, Go into Device Manager, right click the device and choose 'Update Driver Software', then choose 'Browse my computer for driver software', then click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. A list of categories should appear, choose 'all devices' then 'google inc', another list will appear, choose 'Android Bootloader'. The Streak should now show 'FastBoot'.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Ok,
starting all over now PC Suite will not work.
I have download PCsuite from the Streak and it will not open get the following error:
I have also downloaded from the dell site and still get this error.
I have done this 4 times now each time restarting the comp and nothing works any ideas?.
C:\Program Files\Dell\PC Suite\Application Laucher\Application Launcher.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
Thank you for any help.
Go to control panel and make sure there are no remnants of the previous dell install.then goto program fils and delete the dell folder. Basically make sure there is nothing left of the previous install. Then try reinstalling.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Also at what point do you get this error? Are you trying to run the program? If so you don't need to. You just install it and it gives you the framework to connect. Just install then go through the fastboot procedure.

Hi everybody, I recently got myself a Mac I love it but there is one problem. No WinMo Device Center. So to work around this I decided to buy Paralells (for MS Office and WinZip as well)... Anyway, after setting up WindowsXP SP3 and ActiveSync in Windows, all seems well. Well when I connect My HD2 to my Mac via USB (select to connect to Windows) it installs proper drivers and I can use ActiveSync normally.
But here's my problem: When I try to flash, it goes to the bootloader, takes a while but installs the drivers to connect to USB in bootloader, and on my HD2 it even says "USB" but whenever I try to continue the CustomRUU past that point I get the connection error. So I restart, this time going to bootloader first, says it's connected to USB on my device again, but again I get the connection error.
I know you may be saying "Why not just flash via SD card?" and that's what I normally do but I haven't found a way to Task29 this way, and I always do Task29 before switching ROMs. So if anyone either has a solution or a workaround, please help a brotha out! Thnx
