I'm in serious need of help - i tried to upgrade my sx56 to the 4.00.05 with voice command and now i can't get the back light on, i've got no phone and i can't even get the usb connection to notice the unit.
HELP - what do i do to fix this problem
thanks :shock:
Can you get to the bootloader? If it was only the operating system that you flashed you should be able to recover it. You will need an sd/mmc card, a card reader/writer and xdatools. All the info is here on the forum. You can download a rom from www.yorch.net and choose at the bottom of screen "sd card flashing".
forgive my ignorance but where would i find the bootloader and i unfortunately don't have a sd card as yet - i've been looking into that guess i'll be gettng one pretty soon
may i assume that this will resolve the issue that my usb connection is not even recognizing that my unit exists
thanks

hey cruisin-thru, i have just purchased a 256 card - will i be able to resolve this problem or am i totally screwed
thanks
:shock:
Hi ...
since ur gonna flash ur XDA with SD i may advice you to get a newer ROM than 4.00.05. i recommend either TMO 4.01.00 or A30.09. both you can get cooked at Stefan kitchen at lumpistefan.dyndns.net
once you cook the ROM as .nbf file and download it, u will need SD reader/writer for ur PC. move the file to the SD card and insert it into ur XDA. if it asks u to format it just press NO.
goto the bootloader by pressing and holding the power button while soft reset. it should recognize the card content and ask u to press the action key .... enjoy ur new ROM!
note: if u still want the 4.00.05 ROM, use winzip or winrar to open the exe file and extract the .nbf file and follow the above steps.
good luck ...
thank you for your assistance - i've just purchased the card reader/writer and am about to transfer the .nbf file over
you indidated going to the 4.01.00, can you tell me what difference there is between the different roms
thanks again for all your help
robin
Hi ...
Mainly the diferences are bugs that are fixed in old versions like some issue with the back light, SD card erasing, self rebooting ... etc.
A30.09 is perfect except it has an annoying sound issue and has no extras at all ... that's why I prefer TMO 4.01.00
BTW, I noticed that I just misspelled the kitchen address ... it's http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Hi everybody,
I'm stuck trying to upgrade my TyTn to WWE WM6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe).
After following all the steps of the upgrade wizard, the screen of the Tytn goes black and subsequently the ActiveSync connection is lost. After a while i then get the dreaded "ERROR [260]: CONNECTION".
I am running the original ROM (ROM 1.18.255.3) , and active sync 4.5 on Windows XP SP2. I downloaded the WM6 upgrade directly from HTC website after properly registering my device.
I even tried upgrading to SPL version is 2.10.olipro, but i still get the same behaviour.
[EDIT] Another thing i noticed is that when launching the upgrade executable, when it "veryfies informationj on my computer", if the TyTn is already connection via ActiveSync, it automatically resets into bootloader (4 colors window) and i am forced to perform a soft reset before re-trying the upgrade.
Could anybody help me out here?
Thx!
few people have seen this - no solution as yet.
Best workaround is to use the SD Card update method. No USB connection required.
todd_jg, could you please point me out to a procedure for upgrading to WM6 via SD card?
Thank you in advance.

There is a description in the WIKI, just go HERE for instructions on how to flash from SD card.
Best wishes
I'm having the same exact problem....
I'll try the SD card method I guess. I'm suspecting it has something to do with how activesync recognizes my phone, because when I just sync normally it doesn't do it as well as previous phones, for example when I plug in the phone it wont auto recognize, I hafta manually start active sync on my computer before it starts.
this is because the usb port in the device is crap...it gets worn and then the cable gets lose....im having the same problem ,it is a nitemare...new usb cable sometime fixes the problem.i have tried 7 new cables the same happens. it gets so bad tha you will be unabled to charge the device,im afraid we got to send the device to htc for repair.
Still nothing...
Just tried for a few hours to perform the upgrade via SD card... but no way!
After reading various threads on the forum i think i tried every tweak and twist in order to have the upgrade via SD card method work (made sure the SD card is formatted as FAT32, not corrupted and with only the HERMING.nbh on it; tried also with SSPL-HERM.exe; etc.) but still no success at all.
Like other users i read of, after entering bootloader, my TyTn just sits there and the only way to proceed is to perform a soft reset.
Any idea?
Has anybody who has the USB upgrade problem been able to succesfully upgrade with the SD card method, or does there seem to be some kind of connection between the two failures?
Thx
@dondobert -
i assumed, you have already tried to uninstall and re-install ActiveSych 4.5 and recreate the synch profile.
OR
try this -
#1. on your phone device goto start-settings-connections-USB to PC
and set the tick mark to Enable advanced network.
#2. synch your device via ActiveSync
#3. do your upgrade OS or Radio
#4. once you are completed the install, undo #1.
Note 1: only do the above steps if you are having continously encountered the lost connectivity to ActiveSynch during the OS or Radio upgrade.
Note 2: your device must has either HardSPL Olipro method or SuperCID
The best way I have found to work around error 260 is
First disable Antivirus software
Next Go into Windows Firewall then exception tab, and search for "Windows Mobile-based Device Connectivity". Check it as an exception.
For the people who use Microsoft Live OneCare,
Go to "Change OneCare Settings" then go to the "Firewall" tab then click the "Firewall Connection Tool" . Make sure the Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center is checked on
Good luck
Let me know if this works

I had this problem, and managed to upgrade with my SD card just fine. In fact, my upgrade died and the device was stuck on bootloader mode.
The SD upgrade method is so reliable I may just do it now for every upgrade.
@dondobert -
on your reply post #8, you have mispelled on the HERMING.nbh file name. it should be HERMIMG.nbh
please verify the file name on your SD card, and rerun the SD procedure.
I had the same 260-error. Fixed:
- Did a "Clear Storage" (factory settings)
- Did all the "settings up your new device"-stuff.
- Did new active sync to computer (vista)
- Flashed just fine from original exe. (And i do have olipro SPL)
I have problem and resolved
Hi I have a same problem but, i just try to upgrade with mobile in boot mode and appears the error, but when connect normally mobile to pc and start upgrade error dissapear, and upgrade full, schap's spanish and radio 1.50 try this method cheers
Had the same problem and got it working
You need to set you TyTn in bootloader (4 color screen) mode and then connect it to the computer. then start loading the WM6 and you should be fine. I had done it using Schaps wm6 and it worked fine...
good luck.
Hi there ...
I had the same Prob with error 260 ...
- After i disabled the "USB-TO-PC" extendet function
- Reboot the PC
- Soft Reset my Vario II
ist works, but i don't know why
I hope it will work on yout decive to ... CU No.Trace !!!
Successful!!!
Thank you all for the great support!
For all of those out there still struggling with the problem, for me it finally worked following hellomotto's suggestion.
Regarding otoro_315 remark: yes, my mispelling int he post, file name on SD card was indeed HERMIMG.nbh.
Thank you all again!
Cheers
Had exactly the same problem. Resorted to SD upgrade - went very smoothly (Official Cingular WM6). However, will keep these suggestions in mind for the future.
I think the SD upgrade probably also eliminates some possible points of failure. According to wiki instructions, SD must be erased except for the img file - takes a bit to transfer 2G to/from SD. Don't know if this is a must - but didn't want to take a chance. Might just buy a cheapie SD just for upgrades.
One more for the SD card method. Extremely quick too ...I was really amazed that a 45MB ROM would flash in less than 5 minutes.
And it worked fine for me WITHOUT even formatting the SD Card first, I just pasted the extracted .nbh file to the root folder and loaded the SSPL file.
You mean the SD card was not erased and there were other files on it? (You don't say that explicitly).
I too was amazed at the speed - the wiki said it takes about 30 minutes - when it indicated complete in less than 10 min, I let it alone for about 15 min. because I thought it was going to do something else!

hey guys,
i've problems to update my pocket pc to mobile 6. I tried both methods no one works for me.
First i tried to connect my pocket to my pc and started windows mobile center. Downloaded all the files, but always when i start the update, my pocket goes to the boot screen with the red, freen and blue stripes and the connection disconnects. And i get the message 260 update problems and my pocket stays at the boot screen. Than i tried the same with Windows XP and ActiveSync, the same problem again.
After that, i tried to update with a micro SD card 2GB. I downloaded the "Hard-SPL-V7"-File and saved it to the micro SD. Rebooted the Pocket, but nothing happend, the pocket stayed in the boot screen. Than i renamed RUU_signed.nbh in HERMIMG.nbh and tried it again, nothing happens.
Can somebody help me please? I want to use mobile 6, because i want to use a 8GB Micro SD.
EDIT: THANKS A LOT, but now i have a new Problem i described it in post #6 in this thread. Thank u 4 helping me.
EDIT II: Thank u all, i fixed it by myself. Finally the upgrade worked with XP and ActiveSync. The best thanks to ultramag69 again, he solved my problem.
If you are using vista you need to install this, removing all older versions
Do you have the newest .net framework on your computer from here?
You wont be able to flash via SD without HardSPL, so you need todo it via activesync.
Try another USB port.
Try flashing the shipped from for your device, you can get your newest WM6 rom from here.
If that fails, tell us:
Whats your device (theres loads of different models of the Hermes)
Have you flashed anything before?
What rom is on your device atm?
What SPL do you have atm? (Hard or not)
Also check your serial number against this list for known problems.
There are certain steps needed to be taken. First is making sure your computer has the .net compact framework. Get it here.
Only then can you run hard spl from your computer.
Also, when you put on a .nbh file onto the microsd and rename it, you need to go into bootloader not reboot. You need to hold the power button and ok button while pressing the reset button with stylus...
I have got the same problem....
Using XP not able to flash neither via Active sync nor by SD card...
Stck at MRH 8.4...
Go to post 1160 on page 116 of this thread to flash Hard SPL using the sd card method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You can't flash using the sd card method without Hard SPL. To flash Hard SPl on you need to do an extra step - flash with soft SPL.
To flash the os just leave out steps 5 & 6 from the above post after you have Hard SPL installed...
Cheers...
Thank you guys for helping me,
A big thank to ultramag69, your post solved my problems. It worked great.
But now i have a new problem. I upgrated the SPL to HardSPL v7 (opipro 2.10). With the help from ultramag69 it worked perfect. Sooner i did the radio update with Micro SD - worked perfect too.
So finally i tried to update the ROM, downloaded the german ROM version from this Thread copied all files to the micro SD, renamed the SPL.nbh file in HERMIMG.nbh and did a reboot (ok, start and reset buttons) like i did it before. But it shows me at the screen only HERMIMG.nbh and BOOTLADER. When i start the update it runs 2 seconds and i get the message HERMIMG.nbh - OK BOOTLOADER - OK UPDATE COMPLETE. But it doesnt start the WM6 Update. Why not? Can someone help me again please?
I think the only file that's supposed to be on the microsd is the hermimg file...
not sure if having other files there will effect it like that...

the only file that you have to copy to your SD card is RUU_Wrapper.nbh (size: about 90 MB) after naming it to HERMIMG.nbh
note that this will up-/downgrade your Radio to V1.47.00.10 so you can also check other available German Versions with other Radio versions on the Hermes Wiki

Ok so what is the status of your device now, have you flashed back to official shipped rom?
Please try these instructions. also here please view.
If the sd card is more than 2gb it won't be recognised by bootloader. The os (wm06+) is able to detect and read sdhc but the bootloader doesn't.
Did you format the sd card fat32. I know a few people who swear black and blue they did but when I reformatted it, it was registering as being fat.
Did you copy ONLY THE .NBH file to the sd card and rename it to hermimg.nbh? Won't be recognised if you didn't.
These are steps I tend to go through myself as 1 little thing overlooked can mean either nothing happens or disaster....

I don't think you can flash the ROM via bluetooth, but I could be wrong. One thing you can do is flash the ROM/unlocker directly from the memory card in the phone. From what I understand it needs to be a non-HD card (usually 2gb or less) and also needs to be formatted FAT32. Then you can download the 'imcokeman' unlocker, decompress it and pull out the *.nbh file. You will have to rename this to VOGUIMG.nbh and put it in the root folder of the card. Then when you activate the bootloader, by POWER>CAMERA>SOFT RESET it will load the NBH. Then you can also put a custom ROM on this way too...just pull the nbh file from what you get, and follow same procedures after the phone is unlocked. I've never done this before, but I have read where people have done it successfully. If you need more info reference this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370&highlight=memory+card.
You can also d/l the unlocker there. The area where they are talking about using memory cards is like post 260 or so...good luck. Let me know if you're still stuck.
Also there's a great write up on the process here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473.
I tried that it just gets stuck in bootloader, it says "loading..." and nothing happends. what am i doing wrong?

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (YES - FAT 32 32 32!! not just plain old FAT) (again, this is not required if your card is already fat32; it is ok to have other data on the card). I have read that the card needs to be 2gb or smaller, though I'm not sure how much truth, if any, there is to that...
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
you can also use this procedure to unlock your phone by flashing the .nbh from Cokemans unlocker just extract it and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH or if your stuck at that HTC screen and cant sync because your phone wont boot up.
---This really the best info I can give you...just double check everything you are doing to make sure that you are doing it right. As I said I have never done the unlock process this way, but many people have. Check the second link I gave you in my original post if you need more help...they'll be able to help you I'm sure.
I have done all of that but my phone just gets stuck at the loading grey screen and nothing happends. my phone has the latest rom from sprint. its the 6.1 and I installed it by the bootloader mode with the micro sd card. anything else I can do? if not I found a guy who can repair my mini usb port, but hes about an hour away.
You'll probably waist more time trying to figure this out. I would just drive the hour and get it fixed. It would be more of an investment really especially once you re-sale it for a new phone.
Plus re-programming the phone becomes a whole lot easir 8p
Yeah, that was my Idea, either replace it or fix it. maybe sale it as is and replace it for the touch pro.hmmm, lifes hard choices. what to do...what to do? 8 (

Hi,
i have just received this Igo package but when when i start program all I see is the blue start up screen and the words initializing.
then it just shuts down, when I restart the application it mentions that it is already running and I need to wait a fes seconds or do a soft reset.
The application will only quit with a soft reset.
Any suggestions?
Demonnijntje
igo8 first boot
the first time you install the sd card and run it can take 3 to 5 mins and longer to start on its fisrt install.
after that its not so bad untill you add new speed camra database.
just give it some time to load if after 10 mins it dont start then some thing is not right.

Hi,
just a quick update. I have emailed several times with Naviextras and have even send the original sd card back for a check (turned out te be just fine). The problem in short is foloowing:
- if I install the original 4GB card the program does not start automatically. Searching for the card using the Windows explorer option is not possible. Looks to me like my phone does recognize the card.
- If I copy the 4gb cards content to a 8gb card and install it into the phone, hte programm immediately starts. after the 2577 installation is done I can see the Igo icon in the today screen but when I tap it, it freezes on the blue igo screen with the words "Initi Appli". Naviextras support could not yet find a solution and I am now trying to check with HTC if there might be a ROM update that I am missing. I found a ROM update on their website but cannot dowload it onto my phone.
any suggestions, anyone?
Hi there,
and the story contious.
My Igo still does not work on my HTC Touch HD. These are the steps I have taken. Maybe someone has an idea that can help me out?
- Bought the official software, it is a 4gb card
- tried to install it but no luck. The Widnows explorer cannot find the card at all.
- Emailed Naviextras for their support
- Tried changing the sys.txt, no luck
- Card was sent back to Naviextras, they checked hte card but it was fine according to them
- On their request, copied the content of the card to my computer and onto another micro sd card (8 gb). It was found but with the above mentioned problem
- Naviextras suggested to contact HTC
- It turns out that my phone is a Vodafone branded phone and they re-directed me to Vodafone
- A lot of mailing between me, HTC, vodafone but wiht no luck
( I even got the suggestion to format the original card)
I have tried the same original card on a HTC MDA Compact V ( it is a month old) and the card was immediately recognized.
I am currently still trying to find a solution.
Any suggestions anyone? HTC also infomred me that there is a ROM update but that I cannot download onto my phone due to the fact that it is Vodafone branded.
Help anyone, please?

Hi, tried it but Vodafone is refusing to help me with it. There is even a "radio silence"from their side ( and I am emailing them a lot.)
HTC has already offered to help me to get the ROM update on my phone if Vodafone still refuses to help me out.
But in the mean time the card still does not work. The strange thing is that a cracked version of the software works fine ( but I cannot receive updates) and the official one does not work.
My last guess would be that it has to do with the simlock that is currently still on the phone.
Story continious (as both HTC and Naviextras would like to know what happenend).
and as promissed. I contacted vodafone and it took me quite some time to make them understand my problem. The original card works fine on:
- t-mobile brnaded HTC MDA V
- KPN Samsung Qwerty
- Telfort branded HTC Touch HD
I finally managed to get vodafone ot look inot it and their plain and simple answer is use TOMTOM. The software from Igo is not compatible with the vodafone software on this HTC and I should somehow see how ot upgrade the rom myself. The guarentee however would not disappear as everyone seems to be doing this?????
So finally, after almost 5 months Vodafone admits that they have somehow locked their software so it does not run with other navigation softwares except the ones they choose.
But I was wondering, if I unlock the SIM code, could the issue then be solved? I have no idea what this simlock stuff does.
