Okay, I've searched alot to get this thing solved. When I try to update my rom, the update starts normally, but then my telephone screen turns black, my gets disconnected, windows tells me it has found new hardware. The update failes and returns error 260 (connection lost). When I soft-reset the telephone afterwards, it returns to it's old shape.
Info about my telephone.
Rom: 1.93.404.1 NLD
Radio: 1.0025.05
PC: Windows XP SP 3, Active Sync 4.5
I tried to update with this rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_2.03.404.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe
I also tried to update to Hard-SPL but that gave me the same error.
PLease guys does anyone of you know how to fix this? (personally I think it's windows xp which is screwing up).
Thanks in advance, I appreciate all help.
Yours, Martijn.
Even the tiniest tip may help (A)
I had the same trouble with that rom, I tried from internal memory and it worked. Search the wiki I am sure the info is there.
"ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs when there is an "open port error" before upgrading the CE ROM image. Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an "OPEN PORT ERROR" again, reset your computer and try again."
This is what the WIKI tells me. But I have tried that. How did you manage to perform the update on the internal storage? Because I tried that with hard-spl but it wouldn't work.
Besides I only have .exe files for the Hard-Spl and the official rom from HTC.
Thanks for your reply though.
EDIT PART, just read this on another thread in the wiki:
ERROR 260 (Update Error):
"Your phone is not connected to ActiveSync. Check your connection or restart the phone. Also make sure in ActiveSync that "Allow USB connections" is checked (under File->Connection Settings). If this still doesn't help, then remove the memory card and SIM card before flashing."
I'm going to try this now, if it worked, I'll let you know
Just found out I have a CDMA version or something, I'll try google for the problem now.
Get the rom image from your temp directory and look here, found in the wiki

Does the hardware install incorrectly? My laptop did this on XP.
XP would find the new hardware, my bootloader would say USB. Then it'd tell me new hardware could not be installed properly and from there my phone suffered those symptoms - Back to where I was. Funnily enough it eventually fixed itself.

It looks alot like your problem yes. But last time the hardware installed correctly, then the patch I found for CDMA models on ppcgeeks failed, and my telephone got bricked. So I'll need to get that fixed first. After that I'll sure think twice before I try another rom update :/
Thanks for all the help though, and I have to advice everyone to not use the hard-spl for cmda users from ppcgeeks unless you're 100% sure it fits your model!

Good evening, kind forum readers.
Per the subject line, I find myself in possession of one misbehaving iMate-branded Blue Angel. Everything was working perfectly until a day and a half ago. Now the device is acting as though there is no SIM card inserted whatsoever.
As you might expect, there is no signal detected whatsoever. The 'Device Information' system applicaton reports no information for the Radio or Protocol version. There is no IMEI number listed on the Identity tab. Launching the 'SIM Manager' tool does nothing - the application never launches. When I do a soft reboot, it correctly lists the ROM verion on the startup screen, but says directly above it "No GSM". I've tried a hard boot and restore from a backup from about a week ago, no luck. I have tried with two SIM cards from two different providers, neither one produces any different results. Both cards work perfectly when inserted into another phone.
I am using the official 1.40.00 WWE ROM from iMate. When I try to reapply the ROM, I receive the "COUNTRY ID ERROR". I tried with an older third-party ROM that I had been using a while back, but that also aborts with the same error message.
Speaking with iMate support netted me the typical "Send it in to a service center" answer.
Hoping that someone else out there might have gone through something similar? Any thoughts/suggestions on how I might recover from this?
Regards,
Shawn.

Try following the description on the link, go for the MaUpgradeUt_noID option.
Use this on your Original Rom, and try one upgrade at a time, Radio first, then OS, Don't see any reason to flash the Extended Rom

I just tried this option, and it did progress further this time, but it produced the following error:
Device Software Update Utility - R2500 D1001 - CB2.07 -1
ERROR 114: RADIO ROM UPDATE ERROR
There has been a problem while updating your device software.
To continue the update, please:
1 Disconnect your device and the USB cradle.
2 Perfrom a normal reset by pressing the reset button (as left picture show).
3 Reconnect your device and the USB cradle and run this device software update program again.

Being something of a newbie in such matters, I didn't realize that I had to run GetDeviceData.exe first, so I didn't have a copy of DeviceData.txt. In that the device was not in a bootable state, I wasn't sure how to run the OS upgrade without the Radio upgrade. I ended up going with the decidedly unscientific but seemingly effective solution of just renaming the 'radio_.nbf' file. The OS and extended ROM both upgraded successfully. So now I'm back where I started - the radio is still not functioning.
Run the same upgrade this time with the radio.nbf and remove the other 2 nbfs.
Else ron the radio upgrade only of wiki using those files.
And if what MDAIIIuser says don't work.
Download the latest Rom upgrade from your wendor website,
extract the .exe file with a zip program,
delete the nk, ms, radio files,
Copy the 1.13 radio in there,
Run the BaUpgradeUt.exe
Or try to only delete the ms and nk files leaving what ever radio is in there, and run the BaUpgradeUt.exe
Hi all,
I have been trying to check out the forum here, to try and solve my problem, I literally bought my JASJAR today, and it was giving some wierd behaviour. In an attempt to reload the software (I prefere to reload the entire ROM), something went wrong, now all thats on my screen is "USB" and a lil lower down "v1.01".
ActiveSync obviously not connecting now bcos the OS is not on the JASJAR no more, in my device manager is a "Microsoft USB Sync" under my mobile devices.
I downloaded what I am guessing is WM6, 'JASJAR_WWE_20106_20301_11300_wwe_ship' from another thread in this forum, tried to load that but cant communicate with device cos no activesync.
I have tried the different reset options, like the 2 function keys and the reset on the back, I push 0 to clear, and then it jus goes back to the USB v1.01 thing.
I am running windows vista home basic, with the Windows Mobile Device Center, it synced perfectly with this software, communicated properly with the update tool, until my device reset and activsync lost connection, then i was stuffed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like it is your first time with the upgrade. What you are seeing on the screen is the bootloader, which is what we use for flashing new ROMs.
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (how come you have both on Vista?) will therefore not respond. This is fine, because we use a different program to load the new ROMs.
If you look at the folder you downloaded, chances are that there should be a program called "ROMUpgradeUt" or something similar. Provided that you have not changed anything in the folder, you should be able to flash the new ROM by simply following the instructions in the program.
You can also read this link for more information: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Here is an instruction guide on ROM upgrading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
how come you have both on Vista?
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I have both, I recently moved to Vista, and am used to calling it activesync and not WMDC.
Thanks, will have a look
Ok, well I have got it up and running again, only problem now is activsync keeps freezing when I try and sync the device...any ideas?
I landed up using my work computer, which has XP on it, and then used MTTY and that connected fine, on Vista it simply didnt wanna work.
I ran the utility for those 'stuck on serial/usb', and that fixed it. Now I would like to load up WM6, but it keeps getting communication failures.
Thanks for the help guys....I got it working...running on WM6 now...whoo!!
So i downloaded WM6 Black 2.0, and its constantly crashing, so i wanted to re-install it and see if that helped.
now whenever i try to launch the file, i get an error message that states
"custom RUU has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience."
So im wondering what changed that wont allow me to run the ruu file? Im kinda freaking out here because i need to get my phone working! its constantly crashing on me!
i hope someone knows a fix for this, i tried to search but came up with nothing

Had this happen to me. I downloaded .net framework 3.0 from the M$ site and then it worked fine.
Maybe that will help you.

Ok, first off, this is not a flame. It's an education, ok?
When posting a problem, it's best practice to let us know your:
Model of phone
Radio version
Boot Loader version
OS on your PC
ActiveSync version (s/b 4.5 by now)
Then, and only then, will you be able to get some intelligent answers. You also need to follow the link in my signature and there you will find answers.
If you're still stuck, usually re-downloading the RUU will result in a working ROM patch, unless you have other PC issues. You really need to fix that first, and the guides posted here are FULL of the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps that will propel you to a successful resolution.
Please read those posts, add your info, and you may be extremely pleased with the results.
Good reading!

First off; relax. At least the problem isn't with your phone. It's a heck of a lot easier to fix a PC.
I assume you've already tried to re-download the file?
Did you completely reboot your PC? Shut it down to power down, then restart. Make sure you don't have any extra USB stuff plugged in (like cameras, etc). If you have a PS/2 mouse and KB, use those, and not USB versions. One trick is to have the USB bus on your computer completely empty except for your phone.
Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to.
Run Windows Update. Make sure you're OK on those.
If that doesn't work, try downloading another ROM (OS only) -- like the Cingular Black 2.02 or the LVSM ROM, and see if that works.
You can also strip it apart -- use WinRAR to open the EXE file that you've been executing and extract the .nbh file from the EXE. Then go and download this guy: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_CustomRUU and extract it into its own folder. Copy that .nbh file into that directory, and execute the executable -- it will flash your phone with a known good flasher.
But.... stepping all of the way back ... if the ROM doesn't work on your phone, it's very likely reflashing it won't help a single bit. Those ROM's are checksummed when they go on the phone -- if they're corrupted, they won't load right in the first place (and you'd end up with a boot-loader only phone). Soo... uh.. first, reboot/clean USB, then try a different ROM.
Last resort will be completely reinstalling Windows XP. I've had to do this several times because Windows will get in some weird state and it refuses to flash my phone. I finally gave up and started flashing on my Mac using a Windows virtual machine -- it's a lot easier to restore my Windows system to a working point when I do that.
Thanks to everyone who gave a response!
Here's all the information i was asked to post ( i will remember this for next time)
Cingular 8525 HERM100
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
Boot Loader version: (Not quite sure what this is?)
OS on your PC: Pro Black 2.0
ActiveSync version 4.5
I have redownloaded the ruu about 3 times and it has failed everytime.
Restarted the PC, disconnected everything from my laptop, realized that i havent installed Framework .NET 3.0, ( although i have it on my phone as i needed it to run hitchhiker)
So i'm going to download framework .NEt 3.0 and run it.
As for my phone, i uninstalled all the apps, hard resetted and everything is working fine right now, hasn't froze at all since yesteray, so im going to wait it out and see if something happens again.
Thanks again to everyone!! This forum is really really helpful.

You need to have a look at your user guide, as it states how to enter bootloader and check the version. Otherwise press and hold the left OK button and the power button at the same time, then hit the reset button with your stylus. You will enter a tri-color screen. This is bootloader mode. Jot down the numbers and compare against the below link.
Exiting is simple, press the reset button with your stylus.
Here's a valuable link for updating your bootloader.

You're probably missing version 2.0 of the .NET framework. .NET Framework is to be left in place once installed. You should have left V 2.0 installed and added .NET 3.0. Go to www.microsoft.com/net and get version 2.0 redistributable re-installed on your machine. (If you can). If you cannot, search the KB and you may get by without rebuilding your OS.
"Head over to Microsoft's site and download a fresh version of Compact Framework .NET (3.0 is the current version). To be extra safe, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any existing versions -- reboot -- then install the new CF Framework. Reboot after installing it -- even though it doesn't tell you to."
this is the advice i was given in this thread, so i uninstalled version 2.0 before installing version 3.0.
So am i screwed now? lol
Well, version 3.0 just installed successfully... does that mean i still need to install 2.0? or am i fine just running 3.0?
Sorry for all the questions, i just want this fixed :/
You should be good. Give it a go.
If not, just dl .Net CF2 and install that. I think you are fine now though.
Edit: never mind
version 2.0 installed fine
Thanks everyone
I have an 8525 and I am trying to upgrade to HTC_TyTN_WWE_3[1].54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe and I keep getting the same error message. "Error 264 The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA Phone " My phone is connected and everythign appears fine until I try try to update. I have even tried the guide at http://www.mrvanx.org and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?
Invalid Vendor ID
O.k. I am a little further. It starts the install and then I get the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message.
Do you have activesync installed on your pc?
Are u using vista or xp?
I'm also having a problem trying to upgrade to WM6. Whenever I start the process it switches my phone into standby then as activesync can't see the phone I get an error message!
What are your answers to the two questions above? Running vista or xp? What version of activesync if any are you running?
Are your phones unlocked, CID, etc?
I don't know if it is required or not for a "official update" but have you installed HardSPL?
On another note, I would post this question into the parent thread for the rom that you are trying to install, that way you may get more looks. Good luck
Running Windows XP with Activesync 4.5 not sure about SPL?! How can i find out?
See here, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
Read over all of this, in Re: to the hardspl, i believe its the first hyperlink listed.
Assuming that you are set on that particular rom, what I'd do is extract the rom file from the package you downloaded using winrar and then use customruu to load it on. Ive' never had any problems with it on XP. This protects against bricking as much as possible. Also just in case you haven't seen this before, flashing roms and hardspl from here will void your warranty if you need to have it serviced at any time. There is a way to get back to warranty acceptable 'standards' though. But you can't take it in as is.
I have a TyTN with official Russian WM6 onto it, which includes 1.16 radio version. I want a newer one, because this seems unstable, so i decided to update just radio (i don't want any cooked ROM or whatever for now).
Each new version of radio I found here failed earlier or later on a Vista x64 computer with error 260. What I have tried is 1.54.07.00 and 1.54.00.10 and 1.50.
To my surprise, packaging is different, but the effect is the same: after "Verifying the image on your device" (i can hear USB disconnecting and connecting back as the device enters bootloader) they time out with 260.
Right now I'm trying to revert what have I done to Vista as it won't allow me to turn off driver signing, as advised.
Ah, this doesn't work either (same error 260).
What am I doing wrong? My bootloader is, as said on that screen:
Code:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Yes, I have installed some...er...thing before, maybe it was called "HardSPL", but it didn't come handy and wasn't any use to me as I decided against cooking a ROM.
Update: What I like the most is, despite all my attempts the device still works! Other than the radio troubles, that is.
I've updated from an SD card.
Try this my friend... http://www.mrvanx.org
Thank you, I did.
Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.

This is what I'm unable to do, but I suppose is beyond this forum.
Hi
I have had the same problem with my x64 vista pc and the 260 error msg. It took me hours but what seemed to finally fix it for me was to:
1. completely remove WMDC from the pc, reboot the pc,
2. reinstall WMDC plus upgrade,
3. uncheck the allow USB connections option on your 8525, exit out of the window, then do a soft reset
4. now make a USB connection w the PC
Let us know how it works
Sorry, you'll have to wait till my next upgrade Everything is working so far - so until I need something that can't be achieved using SD flashing I'll stick to this technique. Thanks for the advice anyway.
