I've searched through the forums and can't find reference to anyone having problems upgrading due to their PC.
I've upgraded ROMs many times before but the most recent venture on my MDA Pro to WM6 (hemi 1.1) has been unsuccessful.
Basically starting 'ROMUpgradeUt' brings up, 'Device Software Update Utility' then clicking next starts the sofware search for the device but then it shuts down with no error message!
I've noticed other ROMs to give me the same problem now (eg Helmi AKU 3.5).
Tried:removing SD card, removing SIM, 'device upgrade mode'(light, power+reset), unchecking usb connection, hard reset, computer restart (XP),
ActiveSync 4.5 5059 working fine, country id error upgrade, tried another MDA Pro same problem.
I've run out of ideas guys.
PS last time i tried to upgrade to WM6 i got stuck on boot screen and had to use the mtty tool to reboot.
I think you should try an other mashine.
SOLVED !
Universal didn't like the different USB port at the back of the computer i was using. I had connected an external hard drive to 'its' port.

ROFL It's sometimes scary how much I compare my PC to my ex lol...
So i downloaded WM6 Black 2.0, and its constantly crashing, so i wanted to re-install it and see if that helped.
now whenever i try to launch the file, i get an error message that states
"custom RUU has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."
So im wondering what changed that wont allow me to run the ruu file? Im kinda freaking out here because i need to get my phone working! its constantly crashing on me!
i hope someone knows a fix for this, i tried to search but came up with nothing

Had this happen to me. I downloaded .net framework 3.0 from the M$ site and then it worked fine.
Maybe that will help you.

Ok, first off, this is not a flame. It's an education, ok?
When posting a problem, it's best practice to let us know your:
Model of phone
Radio version
Boot Loader version
OS on your PC
ActiveSync version (s/b 4.5 by now)
Then, and only then, will you be able to get some intelligent answers. You also need to follow the link in my signature and there you will find answers.
If you're still stuck, usually re-downloading the RUU will result in a working ROM patch, unless you have other PC issues. You really need to fix that first, and the guides posted here are FULL of the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps that will propel you to a successful resolution.
Please read those posts, add your info, and you may be extremely pleased with the results.
Good reading!

First off; relax. At least the problem isn't with your phone. It's a heck of a lot easier to fix a PC.
I assume you've already tried to re-download the file?
Did you completely reboot your PC? Shut it down to power down, then restart. Make sure you don't have any extra USB stuff plugged in (like cameras, etc). If you have a PS/2 mouse and KB, use those, and not USB versions. One trick is to have the USB bus on your computer completely empty except for your phone.
Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to.
Run Windows Update. Make sure you're OK on those.
If that doesn't work, try downloading another ROM (OS only) -- like the Cingular Black 2.02 or the LVSM ROM, and see if that works.
You can also strip it apart -- use WinRAR to open the EXE file that you've been executing and extract the .nbh file from the EXE. Then go and download this guy: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_CustomRUU and extract it into its own folder. Copy that .nbh file into that directory, and execute the executable -- it will flash your phone with a known good flasher.
But.... stepping all of the way back ... if the ROM doesn't work on your phone, it's very likely reflashing it won't help a single bit. Those ROM's are checksummed when they go on the phone -- if they're corrupted, they won't load right in the first place (and you'd end up with a boot-loader only phone). Soo... uh.. first, reboot/clean USB, then try a different ROM.
Last resort will be completely reinstalling Windows XP. I've had to do this several times because Windows will get in some weird state and it refuses to flash my phone. I finally gave up and started flashing on my Mac using a Windows virtual machine -- it's a lot easier to restore my Windows system to a working point when I do that.
Thanks to everyone who gave a response!
Here's all the information i was asked to post ( i will remember this for next time)
Cingular 8525 HERM100
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
Boot Loader version: (Not quite sure what this is?)
OS on your PC: Pro Black 2.0
ActiveSync version 4.5
I have redownloaded the ruu about 3 times and it has failed everytime.
Restarted the PC, disconnected everything from my laptop, realized that i havent installed Framework .NET 3.0, ( although i have it on my phone as i needed it to run hitchhiker)
So i'm going to download framework .NEt 3.0 and run it.
As for my phone, i uninstalled all the apps, hard resetted and everything is working fine right now, hasn't froze at all since yesteray, so im going to wait it out and see if something happens again.
Thanks again to everyone!! This forum is really really helpful.

How to determine the bootloader version

You need to have a look at your user guide, as it states how to enter bootloader and check the version. Otherwise press and hold the left OK button and the power button at the same time, then hit the reset button with your stylus. You will enter a tri-color screen. This is bootloader mode. Jot down the numbers and compare against the below link.
Exiting is simple, press the reset button with your stylus.
Here's a valuable link for updating your bootloader.
Bootloader Version: SPL-1.40.01pro
IPL-1.01
i just tried to install Framework .NET 3.0 and got this error message
[04/20/07,08:50:20] Windows Communication Foundation: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Windows Communication Foundation. MSI returned error code 1603

i uninstalled any previous version, is there something i'm missing?

You're probably missing version 2.0 of the .NET framework. .NET Framework is to be left in place once installed. You should have left V 2.0 installed and added .NET 3.0. Go to www.microsoft.com/net and get version 2.0 redistributable re-installed on your machine. (If you can). If you cannot, search the KB and you may get by without rebuilding your OS.
"Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). To be extra safe, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any existing versions -- reboot -- then install the new CF Framework. Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to."
this is the advice i was given in this thread, so i uninstalled version 2.0 before installing version 3.0.
So am i screwed now? lol
Well, version 3.0 just installed successfully... does that mean i still need to install 2.0? or am i fine just running 3.0?
Sorry for all the questions, i just want this fixed :/
You should be good. Give it a go.
If not, just dl .Net CF2 and install that. I think you are fine now though.
Edit: never mind
version 2.0 installed fine
Thanks everyone
Hello,
Does anyone plan on developing HardSPL for the artemis... I don't want it to simunlock or anything JUST to have the exact features it has on the Hermes... flash anything... doesn't get overwritten.
I just switched from Hermes to Wings now this... and USPL seems less reliable... plus i can't install it with vista ...
Thanks
for the part about USPL not working on vista you can try this, worked for me!
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
Thank you for your response...
I have tried the trick and it does NOT work in Vista 64...
The drivers are ok... but USPL refuses to run correctly.
any thoughts?
At what part does the program fail, and does it give any error or message?
Well... i start uspl_start and it opens a command window and starts displaying "Could not run 16 bit application.. please contact etc.... for a 32 bit or 64 bit executable"
Short of installing a 32 bit operating system (dual boot or in a virtual machine, like vmware, make sure it has usb passthrough) all you can do is wait for someone to create a version that does not use the same 16 bit code.

Okay, I've searched alot to get this thing solved. When I try to update my rom, the update starts normally, but then my telephone screen turns black, my gets disconnected, windows tells me it has found new hardware. The update failes and returns error 260 (connection lost). When I soft-reset the telephone afterwards, it returns to it's old shape.
Info about my telephone.
Rom: 1.93.404.1 NLD
Radio: 1.0025.05
PC: Windows XP SP 3, Active Sync 4.5
I tried to update with this rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_2.03.404.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe
I also tried to update to Hard-SPL but that gave me the same error.
PLease guys does anyone of you know how to fix this? (personally I think it's windows xp which is screwing up).
Thanks in advance, I appreciate all help.
Yours, Martijn.
Even the tiniest tip may help (A)
I had the same trouble with that rom, I tried from internal memory and it worked. Search the wiki I am sure the info is there.
"ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
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."
This is what the WIKI tells me. But I have tried that. How did you manage to perform the update on the internal storage? Because I tried that with hard-spl but it wouldn't work.
Besides I only have .exe files for the Hard-Spl and the official rom from HTC.
Thanks for your reply though.
EDIT PART, just read this on another thread in the wiki:
ERROR 260 (Update Error):
"Your phone is not connected to ActiveSync. Check your connection or restart the phone. Also make sure in ActiveSync that "Allow USB connections" is checked (under File->Connection Settings). If this still doesn't help, then remove the memory card and SIM card before flashing."
I'm going to try this now, if it worked, I'll let you know
Just found out I have a CDMA version or something, I'll try google for the problem now.
Get the rom image from your temp directory and look here, found in the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_FlashfIS
Does the hardware install incorrectly? My laptop did this on XP.
XP would find the new hardware, my bootloader would say USB. Then it'd tell me new hardware could not be installed properly and from there my phone suffered those symptoms - Back to where I was. Funnily enough it eventually fixed itself.

It looks alot like your problem yes. But last time the hardware installed correctly, then the patch I found for CDMA models on ppcgeeks failed, and my telephone got bricked. So I'll need to get that fixed first. After that I'll sure think twice before I try another rom update :/
Thanks for all the help though, and I have to advice everyone to not use the hard-spl for cmda users from ppcgeeks unless you're 100% sure it fits your model!
This may be the wrong website to address my problem, but someone here can help, I'm sure. TIA!
I'm dual booting xp sp3/ubuntu 9.04 and can't install the CeCabMgr. Every time I double click it (in xp, of course) it says that another uninstall is pending and to restart the computer, to allow it to finish (which I've done 5 or 6 times) and when I go to install CeCabMgr again, I get the same message.
Does anyone know why or how to fix it?
And/or would someone who has CeCabMgr please just repack the IIWPO cab with my info in it for me? TIA!
OOps, double post.
Downloaded and used Cabintegr to be used on the ppc itself. A little more difficult beacuse of how ppc's are, but a pretty good program.
Anyone ever found a solution to this? I can use it under Windows 7 but under XP it states that a installation is pending. It must somehow find something from the Windows 7 Installation. Its annoying because Photoimpact stoped working under Windows 7. Now I need to keep switching back and forth. Used Filemon and Regmon without finding a way to circumvent the check and force the installation.
