[Q] ?How to flash the Titan without error 260? - HTC Titan

Hey all,
I am a lucky owner of an HTC Titan/Eternity.
I don't understand why it don't works, when I start Rom update utility with .nbh inside.
When I try to flash my titan the RUU doesn't find the phone, and when I'm on bootloader there is no USB-logo on the screen.
My Hardware Version is 0002
Bootloader Version: 1.8.160015.3 (132000)
Radio: 16.23.02.09_2_16.24.00.23U
There are also other people here who have the same problems.
By connecting the phone and letting windows search for updates, windows don't finds anything so no idea how to get the drivers to install that the phone can be recognized.
Thx

Did you install the Zune software on your computer and then connected your phone? Which operating system do you have on your computer?

I am having the same problem.
Here is what I did:
1) d/l the ROM & unzip and d/l RUU from sutt359
2) Drop the ROM into the RUU folder, renaming it to RUU_signed.nbh
3) Restart phone into bootloader (power on holding volume down until you get the phone/usb cable/laptop logo)
4) Connet to PC (I get the USB Connection ding sound, but nothing on the phone screen changes. The first time I did it, Windows went looking for device driver)
5) Run RUU update utility. After the first couple of click-thrus, I get the "Verifying information on your PDA Phone" popup...then I get the Error 260 Connection Error popup.
Things I have tried - rebooting PC, disabling Zune on device connected, turning off password lock on phone.
Before I disabled Zune, it would open itself when I connected in bootloader mode, and then throw up a Restoration Error screen (the black one, like when you are doing an update). Figured it might be stealing the port and stopping the RUU.
Any ideas anyone?

you should hold the volume up/down button and press the power button ONCE only, you have the wrong bootloader window it should be white with radio version and seriel and so on

this is what i got after holding vol down while turning on the phone

when holding vol up button the phone vibrates 3 times and then a green light starts blinking. then windows starts looking for a driver for "qualcomm cdma technologies msm" but finds nothing

Ok, this is what's going wrong: it's instructed at phone startup to ONLY hold vol down button. That does not work.
Here's how you should do it: for bootloader state: hold BOTH vol up AND vol down together and keep pushing it. Then press power on once and voila: bootloader on your Titan. Now upgrading works like a charm.

Aha! I guess volume down with power button is some kind of recovery mode.
Both volume buttons and power brings U you the white screen.
All flashed now
Still doesn't fix my International Assist/Comtact recognition problem though . Never had this problem on the Mozart...

I see the same thing. However, why in the world this thing is looking for a CDMA driver is out of my level of understanding... this is a GSM phone I think it may be that Windows recognizes this thing, originally as a cdma device....
weird.

Moved to general, as not development.

Are you guys flashing something other than WP7?

Go spend some time on Wiki, searching for UMTS and you will find your answer.
UMTS uses Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, or W-CDMA. So yeah, you have a CDMA chip in your phone. (Although it is different from the Verizon type CDMA2000 chip. The difference is in how they utilise the radio spectrum).
In brief (as is my understanding), GSM phones have two radio chips - one for the GPRS (Edge) networks and one for UMTS faster networks (H, H+ etc). Your phone will use the "3G" UMTS network unless you set it to only use GPRS (Settings > Cellular > 3G on/off). Incidentally, you will find a massive boost to battery life if you do this, possibly better covereage in some areas, and much slower data speeds
