error 260 - P3600 ROM Development

ROM: Big Black ROM 1.3 from here.
Radio: 1.46.00.11
SO: Windows XPSP2
ActiveSync 4.5
I have this weird problem. I want to flash a new ROM, it doesn't matter which one.
When I ran ROMUpdateUtility, I click on next..next..and when is just about to flash and enter in bootloader mode, the connection with PC is lost, and it says in the bottom of the screen Serial, not USB.
Ok, so let's manually go on bootloader mode, and flash from there. Same error, it doesn't recognize the USB cable, it says Serial.
The ROMUpdateUtility gives error 260: Connection..check usb..
But it syncs through ActiveSync perfectly when I load WM, no errors received. I can copy in it, from it, with WM5 Storage or CardExport.
What to do?

I wish it was that simple. I did that, same error, different ROM's and I try with olipro 1.20, which gave the same error.

Another suggestion
Did you try with a different machine? Make sure that your firewall is not stopping connection.

Nope, I tried that, too.
The orange led which shows charging, it turns off in exact moment when the phone enters bootloader mode. It's very weird, as I said before, probably a soft problem. I'm going to play a little bit with ActiveSync versions. I'll take any advice from you guys. , don't hesitate to do that.

Problem solved. It was a hardware issue.
I looked closely to the miniUSB port and I noticed that a pin was missing, it was only 4 of them! But at a closer look, the fifth pin from the miniUSB port (when you look at the port with the screen up, from left to right) was moved from the his channel above the other pins in the back. So, with a needle and a little patience, I bring him back to his channel.
It's interesting the role of this pin, among other things, probably. Is responsible with syncing the phone with USB port in bootloader mode.
Me, very happy now.

UNIVERSAL in Boatloader mode not recognized by PC-USB

I tried to upgrade my rom but the process crashed. The utility mtty doesn't work because when I connect the universal, boatloader mode by the cable, to the pc, it says "USB not recognized" (sometimes when I connect the computer is frozen till I disconnect the cable of the universal)
Please, I tried to have some solutions in the forum but all the posts indicates is needed previously the usb connection.
Do you know if should be possible to run the flash of the rom in other way, for example using a serial cable connected into the miniusb of the universal, because the boatloader screen says "Serie, v.1.01"
I apprecite what you can say please, I'm really in a hole.
Try this...
Try taking out the battery for a few minutes (10-30mins) and reboot your PC then repeat upgrade process. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!
I have the same problem on my PC at work, it's caused by a poor USB chipset in the PC, or trying to connect through a USB hub.
The only thing I found that worked was to try a different PC, then it was fine...

In my case it still happening in other computers. Conclussion: some piece of the software in the universal has been lost. The screen shows "Serial" that means on some way that is opened to comunication but not USB.
My questions are:
- should be possible to put some starting software in SD and do the universal boot on it.
- do you know how to connect to the computer COM! port from the usb miniport of the Universal.
I appreciate, I was not planning to replace now the Universal...

Now works.... I still thinking windows is so stupid software made for distroy our mind ....
Solved after install drivers for a converter usb -rs232 ( I was looking for the way to connect from rs232 the universal)
I'm happy again and I promise don't try to change rom again (at least for a while)
If some person is interested in what brand of software/hardware I installed, send me a mail...
Thanks hearing me ...

does it mean that you don't have to own any adapter, just have to install drivers for USB to RS232 adapter
if yes, where to find it?

I want to say that is running after doing some things and obviously some of it solved my problems. I made:
- unistall last version of activesync and go back to version 4.0
- delete all the applications using ports usb.
due the connection still not running (windows message: device not recognized) and because in the screen of universal I saw: "COMM1" I tried to connect from computer port rs232. By that I purchased some special cable, name: hama brand, rs232 serial, 9 pin - usb.
As you can imagine all the steps I followed were followed by the typical restart of windows. In this sense is important to say that the universal, after connect, need to do a soft reset each time (again windows....)
Other comment is that I unmark the option to connect by usb in activesync and mark the connection by com1.
and after all was done, connecting by usb the unniversal, kill wcescomm, windows said "NEw usb device, sync device". I started mtty and now appears the USB option, great! same time the screen in universal changed from comm1 to usb, more great....
and that's all.
does it mean you solve your problem using special USB 2 RS232 connector?
ZeD
PS: it was my first idea , but i still believe i can solve the problem using USB port

I think my english wording was not fine. I mean I solved my problem after install the sofware -drivers- of the rs232 connector, but connecting to the universal by usb as on standard way I was syncronizing previous the crack with activesync.
OK, where to get this driver?

I have had the same problem several times now (search the forum for the thread).
I tried three different PC's/laptops and three different USB cables all with the same error as yourself.
Eventually I got a connection but the laborious process of trying - failing, restarting windows and soft resetting the phone, trying - failing........... until it finally worked. I did nothing differently the time that it worked but the strange thing is that it has worked every time since! Maybe the USB driver the phone has a bug in it that causes it to get 'stuck' in a mode where it will no longer correctly operate but once you have managed to 'kick' it into action it seems toi then carry on working.
It was also a ROM upgrade that caused my USB phone driver to stop functioning. Maybe the fact that the phone has a slightly diffferent software configuration after the upgrade but exactly the same hardware fingerprint causes the driver to fail.
Every time that I have had this problem it is after an upgrade but once I have gotten it to work once with the new ROM, it always continues to function - until the next upgrade.

If you're stuck in bootloader mode only, visit www.buzzdev.netand look for ExitBootloader utility written by the great Buzz. Just follow his instructions or scroll thru' Universal's forum here and there for problems relating to "stuck in bootloader"
hope this helps
no device is not recognized by PC so any trying to use exitbl is not available, anyway this option was one of the first what i have tried
thanx anyway

i had the same problem with the QTEK of my principal after I upgraded his ROMs.
(after the hard reset, the pocket remained in bootloader mode).
you can solve this problem in a very simple way:
you have to launch the bootloader installation (BL1.01_RUU_UNI_V.1.2.EXE) from the PC (still connected with the PPC through USB) while the PPC is in bootloader mode (on your display you see "USB > Serial 1.01" or something like that).
then you do a SOFT reset and the pocket boot normally.
very simple.
i hope to be helpful to someone.

I had some problem. After uninstall all usb applications in the pc and install the software for cable usb -rs 232, doing some softreset in the pda connected, it turned the screen message "Com" by "Usb"

USB Device Not Recognised on Bootloader

I have a problem. My Exec is stuck on the bootloader screen. All I see is Serial at the top, and v1.00 at the bottom.
When I connect my exec via USB, the screen continues to say Serial (rather than switching to USB) and the PC I connect to 'installs' the device as 'unknown device' in device manager.
I've seen mention of the problem elsewhere on the site, but the only solution I can find seems to be to keep trying, and eventually it's recognised. So far, after three days of trying, it has not been recognised.
I am aware of Buzz tool to get the device out of bootloader mode, but that required a connection to be established, which at the moment, I can't do.
Has anyone got any experience of this, or any ideas as to what's causing this, or how this can be fixed? I have tried uninstalling the 'unknown device' from device manger, restarting the PC (and hard reset of the Exec) then reconnecting, but the same thing happens every time.
Any ideas would be appreciated, as I'm currently staring at a rather expensive paper weight.
Try this it shld work
hdubli said:
This is based on my experience with two UNis..one Exec and other JASJAR..both had same problem...this is how I solved :
-Put yr device in bootloader Mode
-Disable USB in Active Sync
-Now connect woth USB cable and open mtty utility
-Select the "WESUSB... " port
-You shall see a blank white screen..press Enter to get "USB>"
-Then type ( as BUzz has informed) set 14 0
(here I wud like to inform that after doing the above I did not get success so I typed set 14 10,then set 14 9 for two three times)
-Then I ran the ROM Upgrade directly(After enbabling the USB)
-I then followed the procedure as informed on the COngratulations Screen that is hold the two "-" buttons and soft reset and then pressed 0
-I got them back to normal..
I hope this helps to all my friends...Pls feel free..pls do not trouble our Buzz..he might be busy in inventing something more to our devices

Try it with a different USB cable or in a different USB port (don't go through a hub and if you've been using a laptop then try it on a desktop PC since some laptops have hubs built into them). If that doesn't work then you're out of luck as your Universal isn't detecting that you've connected to your PC and its time to send it in for repair.
Thanks Niketkumar - unfortunately it's the step before your suggestion kicks in thats the problem - the device won't connect to the PC, so when using mtty WESUSB..... isn't an option, only COM1 and COM2.
Shuflie, I've tried with three separate USB cables on a laptop and desktop (neither through a hub, and the same device has worked fine on both laptop and desktop before).
I fear a trip to the doctors is in order ...
Very frustrating because the PC sees a device, but installs it as unknown device. Anyone know if theres a Windows CE device driver that I could try and install as an overide (i.e. in device manager on the PC go to update driver and browse to a WinCE.inf or equivalent?)
Failing this, has anyone got any clue what needs to be fixed? Or how much it might cost?
i am stuck on the same problem and wondering the forum for almost 3 days now with no luck.... please help my device is in boot loader mood but not turning the serial to USB ......... please HELP.......

Please follow the steps:
1. Plug in ur usb cable in bootloader mode while it is showing 'serial' and version 'x.xx'.
2. Soft reset by pressing Backlight+power+reset pin WHILE KEEPING THE USB CABLE CONNECTED
3. your phone will now reboot into 'usb' mode. Don't remove the usb cable yet.
4. Remove the Memory card while keeping the usb cable still connected and VOILA,your pc starts recognising your phone as Microsoft usb sync.
5. Do whatever you want to do now (upgrade)
Hope it solves the problem now.
Press thanks if it does.
Something else to try
Having had a few issues with my G3 Uni, I've been through my fare share of Uni bootloader issues. When I find that I can't get the 'serial' to go to 'USB', I normally find it's because I haven't taken the memory card or the SIM card out (usually the memory card).
Make sure your memory card is out, then try to enter the bootloader and see if this cures it. If it does, then use mtty and the command 'set 14 0'
This tells it to reboot on reset. if you were to use 'set 14 1' it would go back to the bootloader on reset.

Cannot upgrade ROM: Could Activesync 4.5 Beta 2 be responsible?

I am trying to upgrade from Ivan's ROM beta 13 to beta 15... Using the MAupgrade utility... however, everytime the utility resets the device to start the ROM update i get "USB device not recognised" from my PC and the update fails to start... eventually i get a connection error message.
This used to work just fine... however, recently i installed Activesync 4.5 Beta 2. Could this be causing the problem...? otherwise i'm not sure what else might be causing this...
I have also tried running the tool in bootloader mode with and without "USB connections allowed" ticked in Activesync but with no success...
Can anyone help me please?
Trying to clear registry before upgrading ?
Have you tried to clear registry before upgrading?
Hi Kassel, thanks for your response.
I have done a hard reset prior to upgrading... wouldn't that clear the registry?
If not please let me know what else i can do that might help.
Also, it seems very strange that i can't seem to do the ROM upgrade from bootloader mode.
I think i might be having a problem with GetDeviceData as it seems to stay in the "checking the information on your device... please wait" for forever when i try to upgrade from bootloader mode.
If it does come up, then the panel which says which version is on my device and which version it will be replaced by is blank?
This is not the case if i try to do it through activesync (with the device set up as guest).
What might get in the way of reading the device data? I made sure it went from serial to USB when i plugged the USB cable into the device and i have tried different cables...
My bootloader appears to be V1.00
hmmm... any thoughts?
Same here...
I also have the same problem.
I installed ActiveSync 4.2
Alse after having installed AS, the MTTY program doesn't see the USB port anymore, just some COM ports.
Same to me too
I have ActiveSync 4.5 bata at work (Which couln't upgrade ROM)
while my notebook with ActiveSync 4.2 work fine
Wow, it's great to hear that people are having the same problem...
Is it possible to back track with Activesync? Is 4.1 still available?
If not, i think i still have an older version running at home (i hope!)...
Is this definitely the issue then?

I have ActiveSync 4.5 and upgrading my Jasjar was successfully done with the ROM Version: (1.90.96 / 1.13.00 / 42.47.P8)
Sorry for not knowing, but is that one of the AKU3.2 ROMs. Not sure if it should make a difference, but just curious.
Also, did you need to use the MAupgrade Utility?
Cheers,
What happens with the USB drivers after installing ActiveSync 4.2
The strange thing is, that I tried connecting my MDA Pro to a PC without ActiveSync on board.
USB ports were visible using MTTY
I installed ActiveSync 4.2 and only COM ports are visible in MTTY, the USB port has vanished.
Can this be caused by the USB driver that comes with the ActiveSync install ?
If I put my device in bootloader mode, it sais USB on the PDA screen, but the utility for the ROM upgrade doesn't see the PDA and comes up with a device not connected error.
I would really like to try out one of the new ROM's by Ivan or JwRight, but am unable to, because of these USB problems.
So please someone help !!!!!!!!
I have the same problem... if i put the device into bootloader mode, "serial" changes to "USB" but the PC comes up with "device not recognized"...

Computer fail to recognize the Universal via USB on bootloader mode?

As the title states: Why does some computer fail to recognize the Universal via USB on bootloader mode?
I recently reformatted my computer, which I usually do once a year. After installing all my apps back and running windows update on my computer, I installed active sync. Performed a normal reset on my computer, attached my Universal and active sync worked.
Here comes the problem: I decided to roll back to my old AKU 2 QTEK ROM. Of course, I know how to use the Ma_Upgrade No ID file. The problem is my computer now fails to recognize my Universal no matter what I do on bootloader mode. To make it worst, I am now stuck at the bootloader mode with my computer not recognizing it. Any suggestions as to why my computer failed to recognize my Universal?
OK, I was able to get the ROM upgrade going again, by removing my SIM Card and 4GB SD Card. I'll post back if I was able to revive my Universal.
So it seems that my computer failed to recognize my Universal because either the SIM Card or SD Card is causing the conflict.
I had the same problem.... I have two computers one with Win Vista (with the same problem) and another with XP sp1. This computer recognize my pda in boot loader, doesn't matter if still SD card and SIM inside....
Sorry for my english and I didn't tell you a solution...
Hi,
i had the same (very annoying) problems but i always was able to get the Universal back into Windows Mobile.
It was very strange because i started the ROM update and than e.g. it did not go in the Bootloader but back in Windows Mobile so i started it again and than it stucked in the Bl. Hardreset and putting the device again into Bl did not help and i was already very annoyed. I tried to plug in and out the USB-cable but it was always telling me SERIAL and not USB and Windows showed this ****ing popup that one device is not recognized or something like that. I tried a trick to let the cable plugged in USB and than reset and it showed me USB but wheter MA_Upgrade (No ID of course) nor mtty were able to find the device. After several trys and resetting and resetting again i was able to bring it into USB but MA_Upgrade did not work.
The only way to bring back the device from the Bl is the method described in XDA-Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen)
The problem is that this method does work only half. I did the steps until the command "set 14 0" and started MA_Upgrade BUT it always told me that the device is not connected, it never worked. I was already frustrated so i did again the reset and what happend? It started back into Windows Mobile!
So what i think that after using the command set 14 0 AND running MA_Upgrade reactivated the start of Windows Mobile. I tried the steps very often because i tried to find a solution for the contacts between WM5 and AKU 3.2 or higher but the only way is to ActiveSync them. This really works and this is for sure the guaranteed way to get (at least my) the Universal back to Windows.
Btw for the people who are to lazy to use the search function:
The damn ROM upgrade does NOT work on Vista until now! Even not with the Windows Mobile Device Connection Center (or how it's called). I tried several steps on the RTM Vista but it never worked. Don't waste your time on it!
So far from my side, i hope these experience will help some people
I Got It To Work!!!
I was so worried. Wheeeeew! Anyway back to normal again. I got it to work.
My observation is: My computer failed to recognize my Universal because I was using Active Sync Version 4.5 Beta 2 to update my Universal. The solution is to completely uninstall active sync using the windows remove program under control panel, and manually deleting the active sync folder from the hard drive. I then installed Active Sync Version 4.1 and all was well again.
So my next question to all the guys/gals who had problems with upgrading their device because the computer FAILED to recognize their Universal via USB is: ARE YOU USING THE BETA VERSION OF ACTIVE SYNC?
Actually when you try to upgrade with SD card inserted - only then you will get this error - I spend so many hours of GOD prays for my Universal - and after that I just remove a SD card and everything is back to normal

What is the size of the SD Card you are using? Because when a 2 GB SD Card is inserted, it works just fine. But I experience the error with my 4 GB SD Card.
Unfortunately, i don't share the same luck with all of you.
I've already take out both SD and SIM and try thousand times with ActiVeSync 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 beta, softreset, hardreset, mtty'ing, but what i got? BIG ZERO.
So my pc always recognise my ppc as "Unknown Device" and there is no, even some slim chance, to get it to work.
Any idea for reviving my uni from black slumber of bootloader screen?
Any help would be appreciated.

use MTTY with "task 28 55aa", "set 14 0", "set 14 9, "set 14 10" and "set 14 20" as described. bootloader screen may be replaced with a blank one, boot it on bootloader mode by "Backlight+Power+Reset"

now upgrade as usual, then If you stuck on the bootloader again after upgrading, try to upgrade the bootloader itself

Hi, yes you could be bang on in saying there is a problem with vista, my machine did that as well, I really thought I'd turned the phone into a brick, luckily I've got an xp machine that let me connect with the tools that everybody else is talking about here, the one I used was UNI_ExitBootloader.exe (from this site somewhere) which sends all the codes for you and it only worked from the xp machine, it totally failed on the vista machine.
Tried all suggestions, but no luck
So a failed upgrade has left my Uni stuck in bootloader mode saying "Serial" and "v1.00". When I plug the thing into my Windoze XP machine with Active Sync 4.5 one of three things happens seemingly at random:
1. My mouse stops working
2. It tells me that the USB device is malfunctioning and cannot be recognized
3. Nothing happens
In all cases the Uni still shows the same "Serial" message.
The Uni has no SD or SIM cards in it. I have tried hard resetting it. I've removed and reinstalled Active Sync. I've rebooted this windoze pile of crap about a thousand times.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Saline

Hope it helps,
Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I have already tried the suggestions on that page (that's how I found this thread). As I mentioned above, the device has no similar nor SD in it.
Have you tried to reflash from SD card?

Stuck in RUU bootloader screen

My Wizard is stuck in the RUU bootloader screen and Windows XP comes up with the error "USB device not recognised".
When I connect to Windows XP the bootloader sceen shows USB at the bottom left but the PC (tried on 2 different machines) shows the above error.
Hard reset and soft reset do not work.
How can I get the Wizard to connect with the PC to perform a rom install or is the Wizard now beyond help ?

If the phone is already unlocked, plug the phone in the ocmputer. It should say USB on the phone when your on the Tri Colour screen. From that point you should be able to just flash any ROM you want. As long as it says USB on the phones screen, you should be good
No, that does not work beacuse when I run a rom install utility, I get the error (device not found).
If the pc does not see the phone, the flash utility will not either.
Is there a driver that can be installed on XP to force it to recognise the phone when connected to USB ?
Any help with this problem would be a life saver.

Are you unlocking are flashing
What knid of phone do you have
It's the HTC Wizard thats been running WM6 (TNT).
The trouble began when I tried to flash the latest version. The Wizard was recognised and the flash started, but at 0% the USB connection was lost.
Now the PC will not recognise the phone and it's stuck in RUU bootloader screen.
Tried all the USB ports on 2 different Windows XP PC's. Same problem.
Is there any method to get out of this RUU bootloader screen besides the soft/hard reset methods (because they do not do anything) ?
If the phone is already unlocked, your on the bootloader screen and the phone says USB. I don't see why you can't flash any ROM you want. I have never encounterd this issue.
yep, it's a new problem for me too.
Bottom line is, if I can't find a driver or some other way to make the PC see the Wizard. It maybe time to bin it :-(
Mate...I feel for yah, I got the same problem and tried everything. No one has come up with a solution for the phone and the PC to connect via USB when you get this error.

I dont know much about your phone but can you flash from SD card ?
It might be in the wiki section for your phone
