Access ROM when device won't boot??? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

When the device won't boot, is it possible to connect and access the device's ROM through the PC?
For example, I enabled KITL in "USB" and "Active" mode, then I put the device in the cradle, the PC recognized it as "HTC USB SYNC" and then ActiveSync started but after about a minute gave and error saying it was unable to connect saying the device isn't a SmartPhone or PocketPC.
Is there some sort of MSDN developer software or something I need to connect through the USB in KITL mode since ActiveSync won't do it?
Any ideas????
Thanks!

I try to use mtty116.exe, but USB doesn't appears on the list.
my pda is dead???
Please help.
I too am in this situation. Should this work with Vista, or must it be XP only? I have unchecked the 'Allow USB connections' option in WMDC under Vista and PC plays tune to say connected but device centre doesn't show device as recognisd. Mtty doesn't have the USB option under the Port drop down menu. many thanks, Paul.

Stuck in bootloader problem

I have a HTC Universal (Qtek 9000) device.
In an attempt to do an upgrade to bootloader v1.01, I kept getting a connection error. Apparently even while I got this error, the upgrade still managed to get my device stuck in bootloader screen
Luckily, my pc still recognizes my device when I connect it on USB. So I'm following the steps described on Wiki to solve the problem.
I disabled USB connection in WMDC, removed Sim & SD cards from the Universal, and connected it without any USB hub, or even any other USB devices connected at all. Windows installs drivers succesfully, but right after it the MS USB Sync icon disappears.
Mtty doesn't list the USB port in the ports list, and UNI_ExitBootloader gives an error "Cannot open USB port".
I tried all ports of my pc, and tried another cable too. The device indicates "USB" in the bootlader screen so it recognizes being connected.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?
Or better... what I can try to fix it

Try to reflash on windows XP, not Vista
Hope it helps,
That did help indeed, thanks!
Don't know what Vista does to my USB ports (and probably don't wanna know), but a XP VM did the trick already
My Universal is fully operational again.

What the heck did I do?

I'm not sure what i did but when I plug my phone into my Vista equipped laptop, it gives me the "USB device not recognized" message. I have done all the general trouble shooting. A friend has a mogul and for Sh**'s and giggles, I plugged his phone in and wala, the drivers instantly downloaded and WMDC wanted to sync with it. Is there a way to format the phone or someway fix this problem so I could sync, flash the phone, and start from scratch??
Open up Settings\Connections\USB to PC if enable advanced network functionality is checked, uncheck it and try again. Thats what i had to do for my HTC 8525 after upgrading to wm6.

Urgent help! Can't connect via active Sync!

I need to change my ROM, becuase this one I have now just totally screwed up, really badly. I dosent save any contacts and just will always fail synchronizing. Ok, my idea is to revert to the stock ROM, and in order to changethe ROM I attempt to connect via ActiveSync and it does the 'Connecting' thing and then it just says Error.
Please help
And now it dosent even recognize at all. When I plug the phone in via USB mode, it does, but when I say connect via active sync, active sync on my pc dosent open up, and when i open up, it dosen't say connect, or connecting just remains disconnected. can you hard reset your device without using active sync?
Hi!
if you're using windows seven or vista you must have "windows mobile device center" instead "activesync".
perhaps..
You can try going to start>settings>connections>usb to pc
Select "activesync" and unselect the "enable faster data sync" option.
Then try it on your pc again!
flash trough bootloader press volume down when the phone is off then flash trough ruu

Cannot install RUU from htc dev

So I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can install some nice roms.
How ever when I try to install the update RUU HTC advices me to install nothing happens.
I get to "Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes.
If your computer cannot find your phone, you may need to install HTC Sync. You can download HTC Sync here.
"
How ever the phone never gets recognized so running the RUU causes it to load and then close before giving me any options.
Hboot version is 0.90.0000 software version is 2.13.351.1
I've looked all over XDA and google for answers and couldn't find anything that worked.
Is there any other way to flash the RUU ? Fastboot maybe? ( I tried just running the RUU whilst in fastboot usb and it RUU still loads and then closes)
Oh yeah, trying to do all this on Win7 x64
*edit* Running the phone in usb storage mode allowed it to run, how ever thus far it does not seem to be working. Got an error message saying a directory was full. It's now" Veryifing information on your pda phone" been doing it a while though.
First:
Go into Settings, then choose Connect to PC.
Make sure "Ask Me" has a checkmark on it.
Second:
In the settings choose Applications, then Development and make sure USB debugging is checked off also.
When you connect the USB cable to the computer now do you get a message on your phone?
You should have three chooses for USB type; charge only, HTC Synch and Disk Drive.
If you are not getting this option then your computer is not connecting to the phone via USB. Either bad usb cable, bad usb port, or something wrong with the phone.
EDIT
Sorry just saw your edit. disregard my comment.

I get all these options, I can access the disk drive if I choose that option, if I choose sync that works etc.
Only this RUU that gives me problems
*EDIT* WOOO! found a work around, run RUU with storage mode on, then switch back to charge only after accepting disclaimer.
*Edit again* and of course, just as things seem to be going well the installer crashes, now the phone is stuck on some silver HTC logo.
It crashes as soon as it tells the phone to reboot to bootloader.
Bumping this instead of making a new thread.
Still having this issue if anyone can help.
