upgrading bootloader 1.0.1. to 1.1 problem on vista

Hi all,
Got a question for you. I'm using vista and i've updated the driver of the usb sync on my pc. Everything worked for example going into bootloader connecting and then disconnecting thru exitbootloader or whatever on the pc.
So I thought well update the bootloader since that's recommended before unlocking and updating. So I've downloaded the program that's on the wiki page, went into bootloader and connected. Then I started the program clicked next and on that page there was no info about the versions on the device or what was going to be put on.
Still me having no fear I continued and clicked next. Then for some kind of strange reason the program kept on displaying: getting device info, nothing else. After half an hour I thought it had had enough time used so I've used the exit bootloader program and my device restarted.
Now I need to stress this: my device isn't bricked. My problem is that it just won't update the bootloader. So does anyone have any advice or encounterd the same? Please let me know

-don't use a Vista system, use XP (or read through forum how to use Vista)
-in activesync deactivate usb sync.
-don't use an usb hub
-don't leave in your sd card
greetings,
Wout

Well that's the point, I've followed the tutorial on Vista to the point, so everything went/works as it should. Usb sync in Mobile device center is unchecked, there's no hub in between and sim/sdcard are both removed. That's why it's so strange.

FYI,
every rom works with bootloader 1.01 !
you do not need 1.1
and messing things up trying to change your bootloader can really brick your device.
greetings,
Wout

Are you sure? 'Cause I've read on this forum that there were some probs with 1.0.1. Well I'll go for 1.0.1 and I think XP, to not risk bricking my device.

Yep I'm sure.
(read signatures of the more senior members and rom builders/cookers)
indeed xp and 1.01 is tried and tested.

win 6.1 (Kavana FINAL ROM (03/18) - Sync errors

When I sync my dash with my Vista Desktop, I see the following errors at times
Notification - Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe
- Cannot execute repllog.exe
- Cannot execute connmgr.exe
- Cannot execute calnote.exe
Anyone seen these errors. I downgraded to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0 on Vista, but I still see the error. I did not see them in brightpoint ROM.
If I disconnect & reconnect to the usb, it works, but I do get these errors every other time..
Thanks in advance

what are you using to sync? activesync doesn't work with vista.

I am using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

I reverted back to the old ROM (Brightpoint) and now I dont see those errors.
Anyone here using win 6.1 ROM and has synced with their VISTA desktop successfully ?
-Thanks

First of all I hate VISTA...
Second no problem in WindowsXP with my WM6.1 ROM
Third Tskschedule.exe is only added from WM6.1,so maybe vista haven't get ready to support WM6.1

Kavana .. I could not agree more. I have it working on XP. But it has been frustrating on VISTA
btw, Thanks a ton for the ROM..
-sunjay

has there been any progress with this... as my vista laptop will not see my dash anymore

I got the same problem as Sunjay. Now only can connect with Vista/WMDC6.1 by luck. I got 2 Excaliburs, the one with Original WM5 never has problems connecting with Vista/WMDC6.1.

I am still researching.. Have not made much headway yet.
From what I understood from reading other forums on similar issues. There my be duplicate Notifications which may be causing this.. However, I did try using SKTools (demo version), and went thru notification events to check for duplicates, There were a couple of entries for the same program, but they seem to occur for different conditions.
I have also posted in the Micro$oft forums, hoping to get some clue
-Thanks

very odd....
On whim, I re-installed WMDC 6.1 (x64) downloaded directly from the MS download center... and all of a sudden no more problems/ The only thing, is the WMDC recognizes the phone as a dopod 720w. But it works a treat...
I hope that helps (the x86 wdmc 6.1 is also available... but you probably new this)

I will give it a shot and see if it help. In the meantime, Please post if it works or fails after your prolonged use..
-Thanks

I did get this error and i was using WinXP Activesync v 4.5 . but i only got it once. and only once. i just thought it was a glitch , but now it seems this may be some sort of issue, just that it doesn't happen often enough for me to downgrade back to WM 6.0 ... if it starts to happen again i will re-post
Update: I guess i spoke to soon. It happened again, but something that i was doing on my PC both times it happened was i had windows media player opened on my PC and i was playing a video stream at the same time on media player. Coincedence?

very interesting:
two questions: what OS are you using (xp or vista) and what edition of WMDC center are you using (6.1)?

I did look, and the aforementioned is what had me confused... as the OP was regarding VISTA. I was trying to simply ascertain if the problem was not "OS-centric" and was occurring on multiple OS'
Which I guess it is...
Sorry for the confusion... as the solution that I happened along to was vista only.

I know you're looking for a vista fix. just know that are also issues similar when using win XP too . Although they may not be directly linked together , nor will the fix for both OS's neccessarily be the same. these might end up being the same problem, but different ways to create the problem, thus different fixes for the problem, depending on your OS
Lastly, this may have something to to with what i call "interoperability with 3rd party programs on a new OS" issues. Sometimes certain "combinations of programs" installed on a phone can create these issues.

This happened for me using XP as well, I don't really know what the issue is, because it synced properly before.

It works now !!
I got it to work now Thanks to Poser's suggestion in the earlier post. This is what I did
- De-install everything from VISTA which is windows mobile related (WMDC 6.1 & it had an entry for some mobile driver update)
- Rebooted the desktop
- Downloaded the WMDC 6.1 from download.microsoft.com. The filename is drvupdate-x86.exe for WMDC 6.1
- Installed the above software & rebooted.
- Has synced everytime since without errors.
I will post back if I see any errors..
Thanks

@Pudge - gotcha. Yeah sometimes to many "cooks" can spoil the soup...
I hope that you can find a fix.... have you considered upgrading to XP sp3 (I think you can dig up torrents and/or reg hacks to allow you to see it via Windows update). Also a re-install of active sync could be in order
@Sunjay... sweet dude, let me know if it continues to remain stable.

Please Help -HARSPL

Please save sarcasm when responding. I have been reading and would onlt ask for help a last option.
My phone - HTC Pro 2 (I bought it from a authorized t-mobile store)
Need help with - ugrading it to 6.5 or any cooked version that will work
History - my phone is already unlocked as I had unlock kings do it. I tested it and I can put any sim it and it works fine.
Problem - every time I try and install a new rom on it I get one the follwing errors or issues: My usb connection stop when the install starts and the process times out, or I get a host of errors messeges from invild device to wrong version.
I need very simple instructions on what I need to do upgrade my os and then later migrate to some of the really roms I have seen on this site.
Please help.

Did you hardSPL? If not go here: HardSPL

Nothing
I DL'ed the fle and followed directions (auto option). Nothing happened.

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?

As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.

no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.

@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

Also, which OS are you running on your PC? If its Windows XP, make sure you download Active Sync and install/run it. If you run Vista / 7, make sure you run the Mobile Device Center.

moved you're thread out of rom dev section, best of luck sir.

Update -
My OS is win xp and copied and installed the cab on my device. then I re-powered hold down the volume and got that tri-color screen with the usb connected. Started the HardSP app and have been waiting for 15 minutes as nothing seems to be working.
Did I miss something?

Got error 262
Ok I finally got an 262 error. I am not what I missed. Dl'ed the cab re-powered holding down vol key started HardSp app.
Help.

Stil need help
I am at home and my pc is vista. Can someone pls help get over this hurdle?

[Q] Nothing from this site works on my phone

Morning,
I have tried countless times to upgrade my ROM, Custom RUU, task29, etc.... Everything ends exactly the same; Screen on the phone shows the multi color background with "USB" at the bottom of the page, then both my laptop and the phone show a status bar that never moves off of 0%. I let it sit for a while, then I get some form or another of a communication error. It wants me to perform a "Recovery" but that never works either. I always have the same results.
When I try to use the HardSPL file, I get an error that states "Windows cannot access the specefic device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them." It does not matter how I try it or "Run as Administrator" it still does not work.
When I connect my phone to the laptop, Activesync kicks in and establishes a connection, when the screen goes multi color with "USB" at the bottom, I hear the laptop ding as it does when a USB device is disconnected. I don't hear any dings as if it were reconnecting. I have tried this on 2 different Win7 machines and get the same results.
I would love to flash the ROM on this thing as it is over bloated with apps that I don't want/need/care to have! I know this phone has the potential to be very a very cool phone, so I am begging for help on this one.
I have succefully flashed the ROM on my old HTC Fuze phone with no issue at all. I have to wonder when I see the threads for doing this is over 2 years old if that has anything to do with it.
If anyone could please assist me in getting this sorted so I can open my phone up to new and different possibilities, that would be great!
Thanks
Joe

1. So your only problem is that you can't hardspl. Then why do you say that nothing from this site works?
2. Ask hardspl questions in the hardspl thread.
3. Try entering bootloader and then plugin your usb and perform a hardspl.
For further help, you should really ask in the hardspl thread

Yeah, the OP is really only having problems with HardSPL, and nothing else (not being able to run Task29 or a flash a custom ROM is due to not being HardSPLed). Why flame the entire website, and the thousands of ROMs, CABs, and other stuff that people dedicate their time and hard work to accomplish?
If you are using Windows 7, you should not be using Active Sync, you should be using Windows Mobile Device Center.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
This may be the problem. But HardSPL on Windows 7 is a known issue if you read the HardSPL thread. It works for some W7 user, and not for others. If this continues to be the case, your best bet is to find a XP machine and HardSPL from there. Other things, like flashing a custom ROM should work fine on your W7 machine (using WMDC).

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.

Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.

thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!

I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?

Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem

Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.

1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....

ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.
