Like the title says...I just got a Lumia 800 from Nokia and after spending 2 days trying to get the damn thing to boot, I finally have it up and running but now I can't get any of the developer tools to connect to it. Zune is the latest version and recognizes and sync's with the phone perfectly...however nothing else will connect to the phone, WPConnect.exe, PhoneReg.exe, Tom's XAP Installer, VS2010, nothing. I have rebooted both my PC and Phone countless times, plugged, unplugged, tried different ports, turned off wifi, date-time settings etc.....all to no avail. I was really excited to get this phone but it has been nothing but problems, really making me hate WP7 and Nokia.
Can anyone please provide me with some help?
I have no idea why but reseting the phone and trying again worked...the phone is brand new I had not changed a thing....so stupid.
p.s.
These developer gift nokias...not dev unlocked...

I just tried WM2003SE upgrade, but after erasing message, it just gave connection 101 error!
i tried, hard reset, soft, etc, but no lock it just says:
Serial
v 1.01
if i put it in the cradle, it will show "USB" instead of "Serial",
is this dead? i just bought it and like a hero, tried upgrading
It's not dead.
Put it in the cradle and try the upgrade again.
Don't forget to connect the power charger to the cradle for in case the battry is drained during upgrade.
Regards,
Mark
and if that doenst work try to upgrade it on another pc with active sync
Finally, my advice starts to stick!! :lol:
Have you done lots of upgrading on that particular PC? If so, then it's definitely worth trying a diff PC.

It Worked!
Hi, thanks everyone for your replies, i managed to get it working today on a another PC, looks like its time for me to get another laptop, this one is dying.
It worked sometimes, then cuts off in the middle, then stops working, i tried it all night yesterday, though i lost it all, only had about 2 hours sleep because of that but i tried today on another pc, and it worked the first time.
Probably onboard usb is faulty (although it works with my cable modem, external dvd-rw, etc), but it seems to me, the update/upgrade program needs error-free connection and mine might be ill.
anyway, i downloaded the rom from o2 xda website and updated to that(wanted to upgrade to WM2003SE before it went in coma), i cant afford another crisis , i like my xda 2 too much! :wink:
Thanks for your replies, appreciate it 8)
I don't think it's anything wrong with the hardware. My advice would be to ensure you backup any backup files then uninstall ActiveSync, before removing all registry and folder references to it. Then, reinstall and then see how things go from then on. Glad it's working though now!

Backups
Yup, i've done a backup of the ROM and also the Extended Rom, don't know how to backup or where the Radio Stack is, so i'm assuming its in the main Rom.
The reason i think its the hardware fault is because things like cable modem, dvd rewriters, etc work beneath the drivers, and they do all checksums and checking, with Him upgrade program, it uses ActiveSync APIs, so any hic cups in activesync would be passed down to him upgrade, if activesync did proper data checking and resend data (or might be that the bootloader is limited so it might be limited on what it can do) then the errors could be rectified.
These are all my assumptions. thinking out loud.. etc
I tried reinstalling activesync, etc also created new admin user, tried safe mode with networking (without networking gives TCP/IP error message).
All failed.
i wanted to fix it yesterday night with this laptop, and didnt have access to any other computer, so ended up staying up til late and trying all possibilities, but all failed so i gave up and waited for the next day. came back from work and then tried it on another computer and it went smoothly.
Also tried resetting the xda2 many times, taking the battery out, soft hard cold hot yellow green, tried all, but no luck. :roll:
So i assumed it was a hardware fault, or XP sp2 fault (the other one is a desktop with win2k).
anyway i'll be formatting this xp sp2 soon and putting windows 2k, seems more stable, trying to get maximum mileage out of this laptop.
thanks for the tip though.
Thanks in advance if anyone can come up with something that helps... I can't imagine what that might be though!
This morning I had a stock Mogul... original ROM, no hacks, even had the Sprint S/W on it. It worked fine.
I downloaded the new Sprint ROM 3.35.651.2 and ran it. While running the Mogul rebooted, went to bootloader, then failed. It was then stuck in bootloader mode. I read up and found that a successful flash should bring it out gracefully so didn't troubleshoot much. I tried a couple of times more to no effect. It was still in bootloader mode.
I then downloaded the old 2.17.651.0 ROM from HTC and that wouldn't work either. Still in boot loader mode.
I read somewhere that a guy got the 3.16.651.0 leaked ROM to update even when the others would not. So, I downloaded and tried it. Everything looked good! It was loading the ROM, the bar went across the screen to 100% and then...
nothing. A black screen. Vista loaded some new drivers and seemed to know there was a USB device attached but I couldn't connect to it in any useful way through Explorer and it didn't show up in the Mobile Device Center.
I thought I'd try flashing it again but since the screen was black I was just guessing. I did a hard reset (both soft keys plus soft reset button) and I got nothing... not even the same connection I'd had after the 3.16 update.
Now, I plug in the device and get no USB connect sound or notification in Windows. I get a orange light on the right LED for maybe 15 seconds then it goes out. Other than that one brief LED the thing is a brick as far as I can tell.
Any ideas? I plan on taking it in to Sprint tomorrow and telling them they bricked my phone with their update if I can't figure anything out tonight.
Thanks!
First POSSIBLY legitimate brick story I've seen.
Have you tried holding down power and camera while pressing reset to see if you can get back to bootloader?

Yes.
FYI... I just left the battery out for about 5 minutes (what the heck, worth a try right?) and put it back in. I get no lights, buttons do nothing, soft & hard reset do nothing, forced bootloader does nothing. The only way I can get the phone to do anything is to plug it in to a USB cable. The orange light comes on for about 15 seconds then goes out. The computer never recognized there is a new USB device attached.
I loaded many custom ROMs on my old 6700 and never had a problem. I leave my new 6800 alone and wait for the upgraded stock ROM and look what happens! Guess I shoulda used a custom ROM instead, eh?
lol sounds like a legitimate "brick" to me. Very strange, and congrats on your new mogul paperweight (i also have one that was a victim of water) haha, good for holding things down on the windy days.
Yup, bricked.
Sprint couldn't figure out how to unbrick it and just gave me a new phone. The new one upgraded nicely and now I have GPS!
Everyone enjoy the upgrade!
same problem
no need to retype what you said. i had the EXACT same problem. phone was completely bricked and continued to crash at 11%. I went to my local store (i work for sprint, and i know a smart tech there) and was told it was kaput. Hard reset, tried to reload other roms, the whole 9 yards. It's a goner, and now i have a new mogul in my hand. I'm afraid to try it again. I'm running vista, and im wondering if that's the problem.
Anyone with vista have the same bricking problem? Is it an issue to directly upgrade from factory rom to the 3.35? My old brick had the current 2.17 or whatever... HALP
Vista
The first time I tried the update I connected the Mogul to my Vista Business 64bit Thinkpad T61p.
The second time I tried it (on the new Mogul) was from my Vista Business 32bit desktop (white box).
I don't know if that helps or not. The second time went smoothly.
On another note... an entertaining one... while I was in the Sprint store today waiting for their tech to confirm that the phone was bricked another guy came in with a Mogul and complained of the same thing. I took the last Mogul they had in stock. Poor guy. I hope they get more soon... there are a lot of people who want GPS and are upgrading their phones. That means there are gonna be some more bricks I'd think.

Hi all,
I just bought a second hand nokia lumia 800.
It original owner got it from nokia as a dev gift.
Everything seems to be working except for zune, which is giving me the error: "connection error" and it saying me i have to restart my phone.
I did everything i tried to fix it like:
rebooting phone and computer
factory reseting the phone
reinstalling zune
trying other usb ports
trying other usb cables
trying other computers
running admin mode
Apart from this i tried everything google came up with.
There is something curious: a fix suggests i have to remove something from the certificate manager, but it's not there.
I already asked the seller if i could get my money back, but he doesnt believe it's the phone (or that i destroyed the phone myself).
Does anyone have a solution to this.
I really want to listen to music, else im forced to sell it (which will be difficult because of this bug).
Mathijs
i have the same problem too. i've tried search everywhere. but couldn't find any single solution.
I have exactly the same problem.
I just bought Lumia 800 from Saturn German Bemen and I cannot get it connected. I tried 3 computers and I also have HTC HD7 and Samsung Omnia 7 and both of those phones are working fine on these Zunes and computes. Never had these problems with those two phones.
Mauri
Same here, arrived today and cannot get zune to connect to the phone.
The solution is the date.
If you change your date time to tomorrow it works. I think it is a problem with the leap year.
@xGDI:
tnx, that worked

Thank you Bro, you just saved my life! I was going to trow this phone (bought today) off the window..Thank you!

You can change the date by right clicking the date&time at the right bottom of the screen in the taskbar (or whatever its called).
Additionally you can try to look it up on the microsoft site (google is your friend).
I also noticed that the drivers arent correctly installed if you install zune before connecting your device for the first time.
So you may wanna try removing zune, connect the phone and give it some time to install the drivers, then reinstall zune on your computer.
Zune/microsoft also have a free livechat that you may wanna try.

Maybe the issue you're having isn't leap day related, you may just have a corrupted certificate. Try following this tutorial
http://www.governor.co.uk/news-plus...ect-it,-restart-it,-then-try-connecting-again
So I have looked everywhere, to find little results. I have the drivers on my laptop, but that one is crap and doesn't do much anyway. My desktop, for some reason, (Still runs Vista, gotta upgrade ;-; ) won't let me get the drivers. My phone does connect to BOTH computers, as QHSUSB__BULK which is good, I suppose, showing it has SOME life left in it. The screen DOES NOT turn on what so ever. I have tried most methods I can find. For some reason my debian machine is being screwy and isn't connecting to the internet, so I couldn't try one method I found. I do like this phone, (Better then the lumia 635 i am using now) Any ideas are appreciated, though if I can be told how to perform a factory reset through Debian Terminal, I would greatly appreciate that, if it is at all possible, especially because it seems to be my last resort.
It is the LG Optimus L90, model D415, I did root it.
HOW IT ALL HAPPENED:
I was using my phone
it overheated
i restart it, being it usually fixes this issue for me
it gets stuck in bootloop
usually happens, so i remove battery
doesnt turn back on
three months later, I am here
I realize I had the chance to get into recovery mode, but didn't because i panicked
Now I really want some help because developers choose to completely ignore the windows phone
Hi Guys,
Hoping someone can help me - I've searched the forum and can't find a similar thread. Essentially, after months of trying to get a refund on this crap phone, I give in - the issues with this phone are longer than my ****.
Long story short, I installed this ROM using TWRP: http://www.needrom.com/download/umi_iron/#comment-269759
However, after reboot, the phone now literally boots up for a second and resets - I cannot get into Recovery and no matter if I hold power the button and volume, it will not respond. I have SP Flash Tool, but when I connect the phone to my PC, the PC recognises it for a second and then the phone reboots and loops.
To be honest, I've never used SP-Flash Tool and when I power up USBDeview here is what I'm presented with.
http://i.imgur.com/GgS8toq.png
The only thing that happens is when I get the USB connected Windows sound, MT65xxx preloader goes from connected YES to connected NO.
If anyone has any ideas or can give me a bit of guidance, I will bloody well buy you a pint if you are ever in Liverpool, UK.
Oh and the UMI forum is beyond idiotic - I can't even login and when I do, I can't post - I can't verify and it is just a mess.
Let's just say, I will never buy from this company again as all I have with this phone is issue after issue after issue after issue.
