Help with upgrading plz

Ok I have trouble with every rom I have found...
Orbit O2 running the latest WM5.
I start the rom upgrade for B&B and as it starts to get into the strange splash screen (I assume its a bootloader type thing, multicloured), it disconnects from my pc (running vista and the new mobile device centre 6) of course, then reconnects (i hear the tone anyway) but then the rom upgrade program tells me that it cant connect.
Thus my device is stuck on the loading page.
Another attempt to use the UG program brings me further: to the loading % screen. it gets to 3% and then the device resets and loads fully.
This is where it ends. another attempt brings me back full circle...
I had a similar problem with the official o2 rom, but the second attempt didnt stop at 3% so it went all the way.
after upgrading, I cant progress from the above any better.
I want the B&B for its interface, 3d cube and touchflo. Is there a way to add these onto my existing rom?
Thanks guys.

Have you got another pc or laptop you can try this from?
If not try disabling all your firewall and anti virus whilst upgrading.

the real issue i think isthe sync disconnecting while transferring data.
either that or my phone doesnt like anything over the 3% mark on these rom builds.
no firewall, no antivirus.

i had the same problem. this is what i did.
i installed the original wm6 of htc and from there installed bb 4

thanks ill try that.
ive so far installed the o2 orbit rom and then tried the bb4 same problems.
but ill try the htc version now.

You MUST flash the USPL upgrade first. After this you can then flash to B&Bv4.
By the way. If you can get access to a Windows XP computer, use this to flash. Windows Vista as VERY picky when upgrading.

There is a problem with upgrading you're rom in combo with windows vista. I assume upgrading is only possible with active sync 4.5(XP).
USPL and vista give's a lot of problem's like the one you discribe. Try upgrading your rom from a PC with XP.
I had the same problem. I Could'nt upgrade my rom from a PC with VISTA. Xp was the sollution for me.

thanks guys.
im gonna look into upgrading the uspl, but i dont have an xp machine. only vistas and a mac

just tried the uspl....
dos counted up 0...10....20 etc up to 70, then skipped to 100 and the rom update program launched. it went into the multicoloured splash loader then stopped.
im gonna try on xp later if i can...

ok for anyone who has similar issues to me...
I just got a Hermes today (£60, tmob) and same upgrade problems.
XP machine isnt an option for me...
BUT i found this http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 for anyone who needs advice on vista. its very simple and works a treat.
thanks

my experiences
I couldn't flash USPL on my IBM T40p(Win XP SP2). I use other PC with clean instalation of W2K(SP4) and AS4.5(nothing else instaled) and it work fine(flash USPL then B&B 3.7-to test it then B&B 4.0). I realize I'm using Kerio Firewall on my laptop, AS 4.5 don't connect to Artemis with Kerio Firewall instaled!
Advice for all:
1) try again to flash USPL
2) TRY AGAIN!!!
3) try other pc
4) try again
.....
5) once flashed UPSL(your SPL should be 1.11.0000) flash the B&B Rom(or any other you want) - do it on same pc which you use for succesfull flashing of USPL

Sounds like you have not read the instructions on how to upgrade your rom. There are many sources for the documentation. The easiest to understand are the upgrade guide by mrvanix. Maybe read about the unlocker/hard spl and read the wiki and mrvanix upgrade guides.

i have done the upgrade for a couple of times
every time the same way.
It work perfectly until the last update to schaps 3.54c
Now i get this error message
any idea?

try CID unlock.....search the WIKI

Maybe this will help you out... I have posted the error codes HERE...
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.

thanx for this information
my tytn run´s fine - but the upgrade fails!!!
on the screen you can see "0% image upgrade in progress"
no further messages
on PC i´ll get the error [262]
after softreset everything seems ok
regards

When you run the update....select autodetect....sounds like you are running the wrong RUU for your SPL version...
....actually...update to HArdSPL v2.10 first...then run it. Your SPL at the moment is very risky to use and could kill your device......update to hardspl first.

thanx mrvanx's
your advice works great...
now i can upgrade my device to the current version ;-)
regards

262 update error
I just recd. my KAIS130 with the following:
Hardspl 1.81.0000, CPLD 8,
RomV: 1.56.405.5
Rom Date: 8/28/07
Radio 1.27.12.11
I have used two different laptops, usb ports, WINXP pro. The active sync 4.5works fine and is connected.
Trying to load HARDSPL V7 or Alex v52.ATT.162 ROMs i get 262 Update error. With hardspl it makes the ding sound disconnects the activesync and comes with error 260. i tried to disable the USB on the PC as recommended then it does not even recognize the kaiser. Did a hard reset on the whole device, reinstalled activesync several times. Some reason it disconnects my activesync. I have been reading and reading different forums for the last several days but cannot make it work. Can someone help please

maybe try to disable windows firewall

Tried disabling firewall too - nothing doing.
Configured a new laptop with XPPRO with no virus protection, firewall just bare bone. Copied HardSPL v7 and ran it same thing - active sync goes away, shows on the screen verifying info. reboots the kaiser and on the laptop shows "ERROR 260:UPDATE ERROR". Anyone any idea. It seems like it just does not want to load anything on the kaiser.
15Apr - Issue resolved with the new laptop. I was able to do hardspl v1 meaning downgrading I think from hardspl 1.81 and everything seems to be ok. Now i am able to load ROM with no problem - Whew!!

HELP Error [246] Device not responding (Not the typical version of error)

Hi Guys
I have read all the threads and support messages re: Error [246] Device not responding. And mine is different.
I first experienced this problem after I flashed Pays 1.45 Lite after previously installing Pays 1.45 Full. When i try to flash any ROM (not just Pays) I get an "Error [246] Device not responding" message.
Unlike other Error [246] Device not responding problems my bootloader tricolor screen does not come up on my Hermes. I have tried, reinstalling Active Synce, Hard and Soft Resetting, Restarting the bootloader SSPL and still no resolution of the problem.
Sorry bring this problem to bear but it is different to your typical "Error [246] Device not responding " problem and it is driving me batty. the ROM i currently have installed works (Pays 1.45 Lite) and my USB syncs with active sync fine.
Any ideas what the problems could be? I am tempted to drown the hermes in holy water atm to make sure it isn't demonic possession ;(
Any help would be appreciated ;p

Quick update:
I used Force using Safe SSPL for installing ROMS in the past with no problems. It is using this method that I get the 246 Error.
Other methods used gain different errors:
SPL1.04/1.10 - SPL1.09 Bootloader = Error 260 Update Error (check phone attached to usb cable and computer - which it is)
SPL1.11/1.13/1.20/1.35/1.40 Bootloader = 1% complete progress the error 270 Update Error (file image is corrupted) NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE.
SPL2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader = error 270 as above
Bootloader Screen Reads:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-2.03
I have successfully flashed about 4-5 roms before without experiencing this problem. I have made no changes to my device or my PC. I don't know what could have caused this to happen all of a sudden and out of the blue.

Could a moderator please move this to Hermes Upgrading etc section please?

Have you tried installing the latest Olipro Hardspl v7.... it will read as v2.10 which is a later release than the v2.03 that you have... it will also fix any bad blocks on your device and you should be fine after that...

Debonairone
You. sir.... ROCK!
Works great. Tragedy averted. Thoughts about buying an iphone extingusihed.
;p

Hi gurus,
Im having the similar problem encountered the Error [246] Device not responding.
I have try installing the latest Olipro Hardspl v7 but unable to work. I am still encountered the same problem.
Im currently on Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes 100) with PAYS ROM, Rome Date : 08/09/07, Radio Version : 1.47.00.20, Protocol Version 32:80.7020.20H
Any advises and ideas ?

NO!!!! Using the Hard SPL for ANY Version of HTC device it wasn't intended is the fastest way to brick your phone...

Custom RUU has encountered a problem??

Dear all,
I have been running Starbase64's S64 3.62/HTC on my HTC TyTN HERM200 for several months. Today I wanted to change the ROM to Shamanix Ultimate 2, however, every time I try to run the RUUWrapper.exe I get the message "Custom RUUhas encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I then tried Schaps 4.31 and Custel 2.5 both returning the same result. Trying to reload Starbase's ROM had the same effect.
I then thought to try an "official" ROM and loaded Hermes_Cingular 3.62.502.3_6275. This loaded with no problems
I have successfully changed the ROM on my TyTN a least 15 times previously. I am running SPL-2.10.Olipro and IPL-1.04. After the official load these settings remain in tact. I repeated the attempt to load the above ROMs and have the same error message. This message appears regardless of whether the phone is in normal mode or in bootloader mode.
I am running Windows XP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5 (build 5096).
Does anyone have any ideas as what is causing this?
Many thanks

I have the same problem. When i want to install Schap's rom 4.31 on my htc hermes i see this message "Custom RUUhas encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I use windows xp sp2 and activesync 4.5 too. Can you help ?

Try installing .NET Framework!

Correct install both the .net frameworks: 2.0 and 3.5.
A simple search usually finds this problem a few times

Sorry I have totally ré-install windows xp and I have forget some programmes. Thank you.

Thanks for your insightall of you. I already had .net framework installed on my laptop, however, the problem seems to have been that it was corrupt, and that in itself made it difficult to remove and reinstall.
I found an uninstall tool on the net which deals with all of the registry entries. Reinstalling then updating to 3.5 now seems to have done the trick. I now have the ROM of my choice on my TyTN.
