I managed to get an F400 error on the spl screen of my htc radar Tmobile. I have tried the gold card method to get back to shipped rom and whenever I do it keeps trying to update but always fails. I have tried downloading the rom. Help!

PLEASE HELP I started upgrading from stock vz 6800 to 3. something. during the bootloader upgrade process i was told to unplug and replug in my usb. active sync never reconnected and i'm stuck with spl 2.07 in boot mode. i have tried exitbl, but i keep getting blocked by active sync. i also tried flashing stock rom , dcd 2.1 and new the new sprint rom. on the 2 older roms it never gets past loading... on the new sprint i get an error message. i can't remember what exactly without putting the file back on my sd card. something pertaining to invalid version. if anyone has any ideas on how to proceede i would really appreciate it
Edit: Update: OS is working fine but unable to flash radio. Getting stuck at 0% when attempting via USB. SD card method not working - no error messages at all, in bootloader mode. However, SD card is detected fine in the OS and works properly.
Hey all.
It all started off when I tried flashing an OS ROM on my i-mate JASJAM, but it wouldn't work. Kept getting the infamous Error 260. I'm on Vista 32, so I downgraded the drivers as mentioned in the wiki/forums but it still wouldn't work. So I tried flashing it in VMware with XP SP3 but still kept getting the error. Changed the cables and ports too. Tried with about 3 different ROMS (AT&T stripped, official i-mate, other ROMs on forum). Finally, I used a newer RUU as included in the latest HardSPL and it started to flash - but failed after 1% !
I tried re-flashing an OS ROM but I'm just not able to connect due to Error 260. So I resorted to the SD card method, but the process doesn't even start. It's a brand new 1Gig card, tried formating both as FAT16 and 32 and followed all instructions, but it's like the card isn't even being detected.
So, any ideas guys? I would really appreciate if you could help me, as this is my only phone. ( I was mugged a few days ago - had to surrender my old phone )
Current stats are:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
PS: The first thing I did was flash to SPL-2.10.Olipro and after many tries, it finally worked. I was even able to boot the OS and everything worked fine.
The error 260 came up on a thread a few weeks ago here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520226 the person with the problem in the end managed to fix it and flashed a new rom, it might be a good idea to read over this thread and see if you can find any other ideas to help you.
Good luck
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure though how he managed to fix the problem - it looks like he managed to flash the HardSPL and was able to upgrade the OS ROM after it. I'm already at that stage, only thing is, I still get the Error 260 and the SD card method not working.
Um, for some reason I simply tried the AT&T RUU via USB and it started flashing! The RUU wasn't able to query my OS version, and I chose the force Safe SSPL option. It's now flashing!
Still no idea why the SD card didn't work
Edit: Flashing successful! OS is loading now! Thanks a lot Scotty93
Now to try updating the radio.. *fingers crossed*
im glad to see that youve managed to get it to work, if you can get the sd card method to work it is best as it can stop your hermes from bricking which is a problem if a radio flash goes wrong.
Good luck
Well, it happened. Bricked again. I *had* to flash the radio because I was getting a "No GSM" message on the screen. (Was getting it earlier too)
Tried updating via USB (SD card method not working again).
The progress screen showed up on the phone, but it was stuck at 0%. After 5 mins I got an Error 262 message from the RUU. It had a built-in recovery feature, but it didn't work (gets stuck again at 0% and same thing repeats).
Tried these radios so far:
1.56.70.11
1.48.00.10
1.46.00.11
So, any ideas guys?
Update: Tried flashing the i-mate SHIP rom. Process starts, but gets stuck at 13%. Error 262 in the RUU.
I've just checked this thread and my situation is quite similar to that. I however, haven't attempted to downgrade my SPL yet, to access the rtask command. Is that necessary?
I'm able to use the info 7 command in mtty (VMware), but it throws up nothing new.
At the moment I've switched back to the AT&T OS and it's booting fine, but still no gsm.
Is it worth trying any other ship/radio ROMs? Or can I do something via mtty?
What size sd card you using, It has to be 2Gb or less. Also must be formatted FAT32.
If the radio rom has been corrupted, and it looks like it might be, there is no real way to fix. Some people get lucky by reflashing their SHIPPED STOCK ROM or their SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Most other fixes I've heard of don't work, or if they do, not for long....
Good Luck...
Cheers...
It's a brand new 1GB card, formatted as FAT32, 512kb block size. The WM OS is reading it properly.
I'll try and flash a shipped radio one of these days. Thanks for your input.
Disregard...
Tried flashing new rom to my Cruise and ended up getting the error stated in the title. Ran unlock and hard spl beforehand and ran the ruu update three times and the error still pops up. Any suggestions?
I had a Kaiser before and never had any issues with rom flashing. Sure hope it isn't bricked.
Also, checked my serieal with HTC.com and this is a legitimate cruise and I have the original rom, but cannot reconnect to WMDC, stuck on tri-color screen.
Also, it was error code 270 which I didn't see on the common ruu error page. It says that the rom image is corrupt. The rom I was flashing was billabong's ultimate from Jan. 17th. I was able to get my stock rom loaded back, thank God, but I just tried hard spl again and flashing the rom and the same error happened again.
Try another rom, there are a lot here. Maybe this rom have the problem, and not your device.
hi guys,
trying to upgrade the radio rom, im using the customRUU and its getting to about 99% and then its getting the error 290: invalid command.
and now it only boots in the red, green, blue and white bootload screen.
heres some info if it helps:
SPL-1.42.HSPL on my hd2..
windows 7 home premium, (i tried running as admin, no difference.. also tried several other usb ports)
help would be appreciated!
thanks guys!
have you tried a good ol MTTY or Task29 before flashing?
does the phone boot to RGD screen?
what Radio you using?
And you have the phone HSPL unlocked?

I had the same problem. I was trying to restore my phone to original firmware, due to issues with custom firmwares. I had managed to extract the NBH from the installer provided by my carrier, and used CustomRUU to flash the phone, but the phone was not booting.
I then flashed one of the EnergyROM builds onto my phone.
After that I could not get the original firmware onto the phone, error 290 at 9%.
I booted my phone into the bootloader (red/blue/green), and used HSPL2 to set SPL to 1.42.HSPL. I could then flash the original firmware.
My phone is now working fine, as best I can tell.
Always showing bootloader screen with rom upgrade error
I was trying to revert to windows custom rom from android (due to frequent freezing) and then onwards booting the phone I am always getting the bootloader screen displaying rom upgrade error.
I tried hard reset but still the same problem persists, then I downgraded the HSPL 2.08 to SPL-1.42.HSPL and then tried reinstalling the custom rom but still the same problem persists. In between after downgrading the HSPL, I tried task 29, it was unsuccessful after 96% (shows Invalid Command (Error 290)), while reinstalling the customRUU I have, I got something like error 270 at the end (it goes fine till 100%).
I also tried with installing the radio (ver 2.15.50.14) in between but to no effect
Please help me in fixing the issue, my phone is of no use now
Hey guys, I'm officially desperate. After too many hours trying to un-root my Orange UK HTC Hero, I really really seriously need help as the phone is being replaced and I want it to be the way I recieved it.
I've tried way too many times tyring to install the Orange UK RUU. I've synced it, I've unsynced it, tried all these crazy solutions, but it never wants to work. The furthest I got was to the bootloader screen, but then it showed error 171 abuot not being connected via usb.. fantastic.
Could somebody possibly provide me with a rom.zip file containing one of the orange updates as I have tried extracting files from the .exe file myself, but even that doesn't work, or even just point me in the right direction! Please help! Thanks.
Hi
I had this problem with French OrangeHTC Hero.
For me it worked with this : your phone will reboot on bootloader and you'll have a 171 message error. Then close the error message, let your phone on bootloader and retry to install RUU Rom. It will be ok on the second time.
Hope it will work for you
