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.

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

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
My problem all started when I try to get BB Connect 4.0 to work on my Hermes. After searching all around, I decided the original ROM that came with my Hermes (4/19/07 version) would not work with BB connect 4 so I decided to install Black 2.5. Being a newbie (I had the phone for all about 3 days), I downloaded Black's .exe package and ran it with the Rom Update Utility provided with the package.
I selected the Force-SSPL option and everything went fine. However, after the installation finished, I can no longer perform activesync with the device. I uninstalled and reinstalled activesync 4.5 multipletimes with no avail. I searched all over the forum and can't find anything on it. I now can't even downgrade or reinstall the package because activesync doesn't recognize the phone anymore.
Please help!!!
Alright guys, after 6 hour of searching on the forum, I figured out what it was. Using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302459 the checkbox under the settings --> Connection --> Usb to PC "enabled advaced network functionality" was checked. Unchecking it solve the problem.
you should also know that putting your phone into boot loader will do the same thing and also makes flashing just as easy or you could have flashed from an SD card. the term bricking means your phone will not turn on period bricking is not what you did. Not doing the research is what i you did,,,
I have a TyTN with official Russian WM6 onto it, which includes 1.16 radio version. I want a newer one, because this seems unstable, so i decided to update just radio (i don't want any cooked ROM or whatever for now).
Each new version of radio I found here failed earlier or later on a Vista x64 computer with error 260. What I have tried is 1.54.07.00 and 1.54.00.10 and 1.50.
To my surprise, packaging is different, but the effect is the same: after "Verifying the image on your device" (i can hear USB disconnecting and connecting back as the device enters bootloader) they time out with 260.
Right now I'm trying to revert what have I done to Vista as it won't allow me to turn off driver signing, as advised.
Ah, this doesn't work either (same error 260).
What am I doing wrong? My bootloader is, as said on that screen:
Code:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Yes, I have installed some...er...thing before, maybe it was called "HardSPL", but it didn't come handy and wasn't any use to me as I decided against cooking a ROM.
Update: What I like the most is, despite all my attempts the device still works! Other than the radio troubles, that is.
I've updated from an SD card.
Try this my friend... http://www.mrvanx.org
Thank you, I did.
Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.

This is what I'm unable to do, but I suppose is beyond this forum.
Hi
I have had the same problem with my x64 vista pc and the 260 error msg. It took me hours but what seemed to finally fix it for me was to:
1. completely remove WMDC from the pc, reboot the pc,
2. reinstall WMDC plus upgrade,
3. uncheck the allow USB connections option on your 8525, exit out of the window, then do a soft reset
4. now make a USB connection w the PC
Let us know how it works
Sorry, you'll have to wait till my next upgrade Everything is working so far - so until I need something that can't be achieved using SD flashing I'll stick to this technique. Thanks for the advice anyway.
Hello,
I need help for my new Witstech A81G. After I had to do factory reset and then flashing it, the following features do not work:
- when I go to market and try to download anything, the download stalls on "starting download"
- I also don't manage to sign into Google Talk.
(the two might be connected...?)
My specs:
- This is a Witstech A81G with full USB bought from Merimobiles in January
http://www.merimobiles.com/Witstech_A81G_New_Version_with_Full_USB_p/meri0544.htm
- It says model number MID, Android version 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32 Android MID #290, Build number MID-eng 2.2 JIEVIS eng.MID.20101124.105136 test-keys
- I have a 16GB mini SD card
- I am using it over wifi
- otherwise I am on W7 64 bits.
- Myself am quite computer proficient, but this is first time I use android.
The history how things happened (it is about 3 weeks I am fighting with it):
1> Started all fine
I got the device and it was working fine. I have set up wifi, my Google account, and checked apps.
I performed the "Witstech A81E Market full access fixed" proposed by Merimobiles, clearing cache and data, and got the Market working fully.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA
Then I installed few more apps, including App 2SD free, that let me move apps to my sd card.
Everything was fine, except I also installed apps for kids and let my son use it.
2> Factory reset
My son badly messed up and I could not understand much how to fiw what he did. So I thought I rather do a factory reset from the tablet, and I did (settings/privacy). This is when the trouble started.
After that, I did the market fix again, and could see all apps... but never could download any.
3> Flashing the A81
I went one step further and flashed the device, following instructions from Gadgets and tablets (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33)and using Android 2.2-1208 Firmware they propose (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16).
I backed up the apps I had into my PC. I used another 8GB sd card and formatted it FAT 32 using HP formatting tool (that is only difference with the described process, they say 1GB and FAT), copied the mlo file to my SD card and then other files, and flashed it into the A81G: the flash worked. I had to do recalibration, reset wifi and google accounts.
And again, no download in Market.
4> Several variation attempts
I tried different things:
- flashed again and tried another Google account
- installed WitsSetup.apk proposed by the same forum, that is supposed to optimize the device to the firmware or opposite
http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33
- installed z4root
In any case, and even without trying the "market access fix", I can not downlaod anything from Market.
Also, in the course of these attempts I realized my Talk does not work (I did not try before).
5> More aborted attempts
Browsing around, I realize this might be because of a wrong ID suggesting this device could not work with Market. (although it should, even in limited mode, as it didout of the factory!)
I also have on my PC a backup of froyo.zip which I think is the one originally installed. I tried to copy / paste it into android system, of course did not work.
So I would like to try the more complicate fix (changing ID) as proposed here for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687371
But I run into 2 difficulties:
a> using the emulator: I don't have any keyboard access so can't type in
b> I installed Android SDK manager on my PC in order to run ADB. I installed Android SDK tools revision 9, android SDK platform tools revision 2, Google USB driver package revision 4. W>hen I connect it, I now see in my device manager under "other devices" a "A81E" with no drivers - and it does not find drivers neither in the above package nor on the web.
So I am blocked again.
6> What more?
Well... i pray for help, because without any apps this device is just useless.
I would like to manage::
- either fix market & google talk access
- or somehow retsore factory set uyp the way it was - with market access (even limited).
Note that I am with limited capacities, since:
- I dont have many programmes on and can't download anything from Market (though I have the backup of few Witstech original appps)
- I can't type into the emulator nor got ADB to work.
I hope you can support me or this device will be thrown through the window without even beeing used 1 full week.
Thanks

Hi, you seem to have tried everthing except using the firmware from the official Witstech web site?
This might be worth a try.
Go to http://www.witstech.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1#post1 & download the correct format tool hpusbfw.rar. Format your sd card to FAT
Then go to http://witstech.net/download.html & down load the correct firmware for your tablet. Follow the correct proceedure to flash the device. Best of luck.
Maybe the MarketEnabler would help? Google said before use the market, user should login the Gtalk once.
better follow #2 suggestions, reflash the official firmware
Hi i have recently rooted my galaxy note 2, and own a six axis duel shock playstation controller. I have already bought the sixaxis controller app from the play store (also checked the compatible app, and there was no problems). I have gone to the official site and installed the sixaxis pair tool, yet everytime i install the program i get an error message reading "A newer version of microsoft visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine". I have tried different versions, but the same outcome, if you could let me know what im doing wrong, or what i need to fix this i would be greatly appreciated

I got that same message after installation of the pair tool for PC. I believe I ran the installer with administrator privileges (don't think that matters though). Anyways, do you receive this message when trying to start the application as well? I received this message after the installation, but could still use the application fine.

I would say make sure you have the latest version downloaded and also make sure your sixaxis controller is actually connected to the PC via USB before running the installer (also run the installer with admin privileges just in case). After this, make sure that you are unable to find the Sixaxis Pair tool icon in your start menu. I thought it didn't install for me at first too, but then I saw that the program was actually there.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
I too had the exact same issue. I just declined to upgrade and the program installed fine. The problem I had, as this was the first time I had ever used Sixaxis, was getting it to connect to the N2. Come to find out, since I was using the MotionInJoy version I had to put the mac address in backwards
