Ive searched high and low, and cant find a similar problem.
Since I updated my rom, I havent been able to get a catalog downloaded. I have checked and confirmed my password, but the unit refuses to download the catalog.
I have updated it, wiped it, reset it.. you name it.. still wont update!
Any ideas? Would be handy to have it back.
*** EDIT ***
The program tells me that it has connected and updated.. but it doesnt update the screen!

i am trying to get phonecontrol to work, but when the program is about to copy some files to my TyTn(or Hermes) i get this message(appearing on my computer), and it cant continue.
Tried some fixes, but they seem to be to smartphones, and didn't do much good.
Anyone got an idea?
more symptoms needed to see a problem. What you have did first before this problem was comed?
I need help desperately. When I turn my phone on - it shows a tri-colored (Red-green-blue)screen (with small white at the bottom)
My phone was working just fine - but when I turned it on yesterday - it showed this wierd screen. In the top right corner, it says: RUU
In the red section it reads: IPL 2.26 & below that it reads: SPL 2.26
When I try syncing it - the computer does not recognize it. What can I do? I've looked at the site and searched for a solution. I stayed up almost all night trying to fix it, using MTTY (but no response from the phone). The only thing it does is show USB, when I plug it into the computer.
Other than that - nothing happens. I'm very exasperated. Can someone help me out?
Thanks
Have you first of all tried hard resetting the device?
If you have to no avail then the fact that your PC can still establish a USB connection with your device (Hence USB displayed in the bottom left of your device's screen)means you should be able to download the latest MDA rom update from the T-Mobile site and re-flash your device to get it back on it's feet. There is plenty of advice on the boards on how to re-flash and it is quite straight forward with the original signed ROM's (no unlocking required)
I hope this helps you in some way and if anyone can provide a link to the download needed please chime in.

Did you try flashing a new ROM recently? A failed flash can cause that to happen. If not, download T-Mobiles ROM and reflash it and it should go back to normal. Unfortunately that means you'll lose any info that you had on there so hopefully you have it backed up. Before you do that though, make sure it's not doing that because you're accidentally pushing the camera button in while your rebooting your phone. I can see where that would happen accidentally because I'm constantly looking down at my phone only to notice the cameras activated because I accidentally hit that button.
Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try and see what happens
I can't get activesync to connect w/my device! Everytime I try - no luck. I've tried the MTTY and still nothing. Can anyone suggest a way for me to use? When I connect the MDA to the computer - it registers in my device manager, but Active sync won't identify it??!???
You do not need to be connected to active sync (if you're in bootloader mode) to flash an original signed ROM. Just connect you device to the PC, If your device has the tri-colour bootloader screen with USB listed in the bottom left hand corner of the screen (like you said in your first post) you should be able to reflash. Just run the Installer that you have download from the T-mobile website and it should perform the reflash. Forget about active sync for the moment until you get your device up and running again. It really is quite a simple operation. If this does not work for you, you're device might have a genuine fault. I feel confident it should work though as i have been in this situation myself with the MDA-Vario.
P.S What type of device do you have and which country are you in? This may enable me to help you a little more in finding the correct ROM if you don't already have it.
Do let us know how you get on
Cheers

I have the MDA and I live in the USA
thanks for all of your help. I'm still trying - but nothing seems to be working
Did you download the T-Mobile ROM from their site and try to reflash it? If you did, what happens when you run the update exe?
Don't worry about not connecting to activesync right now, if you're in bootloader mode it wont connect.
Here is a link to the T-mobile MDA (USA) Get Software page. you'll have to enter your phone number to get the software you need. Its a big download (Approx 50MB) so be patient. There are also instructions on how to perform the upgrade there.
Good Luck and let us know.

I have hit the reboot on the back of my dell x50v and for the last couple times it says that "tbstart.exe failed to start, may need to reinstall".
I have no idea what this is and tried a search and found nothing on the internet.
Anyone have any idea what this is? I also posted another problem about my device now not recognizing my home network and says the ssid is hidden, are these two items related? I have wm5 ao2.
Any ideas?
I'd say that if everything is working the way it should on your phone, then go to the windows startup folder and remove the link to it. Don't delet it just yet, cut it and paste it somewhere that you'll remember where it is, like the My Documents folder, just in case you find out that you did need it for some program. More than likely, the reason it failed to start is because you removed the program and it forgot to delete the startup link. Don't worry that removing the link will cause your phone not to boot or something like that either because your phone is already rebooting without the program anyway.
Does anybody know what the problem is with copilot? Everytime i start it, it displays the splash screen, and that's it.. it fails to load. In the notifications it has an entry to 'Touch here to maximize copilot' but this does nothing...
It's really strange as it worked on Monday this week...??
Ok fixed it...
renamed the user.cfg file found in sdcard/copilot to user.cfg.bak, ran the software again so it had to generate a new user.cfg file and it worked.. Ok i had to enter my google checkout number and set it up again, but it did fix the problem.
I can't get mine to recognise my Google Checkout number, even after getting it reset by support

I've had a corrupted user.cfg cause startup aborts in the past as well. Took me a while to figure it out. I keep a good backup copy now, which should avoid any Google checkout and setup issues.
I have a problem. I have a tendency to destroy phones, which is why the last 2 phones I owned has been HTC M8. They are rugged enough for me not to destroy them.
However, 10 months ago the first one had problems with the battery, so I replaced the phone because it was cheaper than replacing the battery. The second one have worked fine, but lately the USB plug is worn out, so charging is becoming a problem.
This leads me to my problem. I (ofcause) bought a 3d one. This one was hardly used, and was 1 owner phone.
As it turns out, the previous owner had made 1 mistake. He had done the factory reset, but half way through it, it ran out of power. This means that booting it up, causes loads of errors: Gapps errors, Sense Home errors, Hangout errors and finally Google play service errors.
Now, I have worked with computers from 1991-2016 (including IT support for all the major companies) so I do know how to fix something like this - if this was windows . But since this is Android, I am a complete noob . I am just too stubborn to give up on this phone just because it has corrupt software . But this is a LOT more difficult than working with Windows I think Prior to this I have only rooted 1 phone, and that was in 2013 . I have been working on this the last 2 days .
So here is what I have managed to do so far:
I have unlocked bootloader through the HTC website and I can access the recovery program. Through that I have wiped cache, Ramdump, and done something like 15+ factory reset.
Through this I am able to get into the phone - sort of. I get a box asking if I want to send an Error rapport - and when I do that, I can get into the settings on the phone.
Through the settings, I have enabled developers options + enabled Debug, and disabled Fastboot.
I also tried to cleared cache on Gapps, google play services and Hangout - but that didnt help - so I disabled those things.
Now I can sort of use the phone. I cant update it, and it doesnt find the sim card. It does however connect find through wifi.
After all of that, I have been able to connect the phone to the computer though USB. I get both computer and phone to accept the connection (type in the code) and I can transfer files to the phone. It also works in HTC Sync software.
In Bootloader I can also get it to find FASTBOOT USB, so it does find something.
However, next step was that I had to root the phone using ADB and TWRP but I cant seem to get that connection working. Both programs finds no devices. So I am not able to actually root the phone.
I also tried RUU but had the same problem. Cant seem to get that connection working, so I can flash/root the phone.
Because of this, I tried to install upgraded versions of Android using an SD card. I can get the phone to read those zip files, but it always ends up with an: "Footer error" or "Verification failed".
I even tried the official HTC Android Marshmallow that you can download, but that came with the same verification error.
The only version that got close was an older version of the software on it. That one came up and said it was an older one, and aborted the installation because of that.
I have tried:
crDroidAndroid-6.0.1-20160826-m8
crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20180117-m8-v3.8.5
crDroidAndroid-9.0-20190315-m8-v5.2
himauhl-3.10.84-perf-g09631a4
m8qlul-3.10.49-perf-g6f6e344
OTA507
So what am I asking help with? The simple answer is that I wanna install new android software - similar to reinstalling windows. The old phone had Android 5, and the first one Android 6. If I can upgrade to something newer, that would be a bonus, but I am good with "just" getting the phone to work .
So how do I get the phone to accept that zipfile for the android software? How do I get passed that Footer Error/verification error?
Oh and please explain the steps I need to take, for complete a complete noob . Simple steps will be greatly appreciated

OTA_HIMA_UHL_L51_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1-1.40.401.8_release_444119
This one came up with a Sideload package error - Status 255. From what I can tell by google, that is an error caused by CM or TWRP. Its suppose to be corrected by deleting some files in TWRP but I dont have TWRP.
So how do I solve this new problem?
