Hi. I`ve finally found the way to connect mtty and run rom update utility in Vista. tested on rtm 6000.
First of all, connect your device when it`s in bootloader.
next, open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections.
next, goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity
next, goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one from AS 4, i attached it, wceusbsh.inf.
then, kill wmdc.exe with any taskmanager
You are Ready. run ruu or connect MTTY. I guess that vista default driver uses another port, not WCEUSBSH001, that`s why we have to use the old driver.
Didnt work for WM6 update
is this supposed to work for the WM6 upgrade?
Didnt work for me.
Attached the files for x64 version of vista (taken them from x64 XP).
Drivers are unsigned, so you have to turn off driver signature enforcement in vista. Google how to do this.
And yes, this can be used to upgrade uni to WM6.
No this method did not work for me for O2 Atom.
Using Vista Business with released final windows mobile device driver. No use. Able to sync perfectly. But RUU ROM update is failing. Trying to disable the firewall also no good.
omg thank you so much for this! i was trying to downgrade my hermes from 1.06 to 1.04 CID but vista's windows mobile device centre or whatever its called is dodgy as hell and i couldn't run RUU. you are a god send, thanks again!
yes, this is working out very well with vista.
Thank you.
Vista cannot find drivers for Hermes after flash
I used these drivers to allow me to flash my Hermes with the latest Cingular image. After the device reboots, Vista no longer recognizes it. Vista prompts me to search for a driver but cannot find one. Is this related to installing the back-level drivers above? Anyone know how to recover from this?
Thanks!
No joy....
This did not work for me. I'm running Vista Ultimate and a TMO MDA.. I hope there is a solution soon.. I really want WM6 on my phone, but I don't want to have to have an XP machine around....

Thank You! Worked for me, using Vista Ultimate.
Thank you! It works...
I was also unable to get this working. I am running Vista Enterprise RTM. I followed the steps in the list exactly, and also tried restarting the services (they were already started) and killed mobsync.exe (Sync Center). No such luck . RUU crashes while trying to read information from my phone. Has anyone who had problems earlier got it working yet?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having difficulty updating the Build in driver with the one you supplied. As soon as I try to update the driver I get a meesage saying the one installed is already the most recent. As soon as I uninstall the original driver it is redetected and reinstalled.
Anyone have any help on this.
Thanks,
Tom
Right click on the device and click "Update Driver Software"
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Below the textbox, click "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer"
Now you can click "Have Disk" and choose the drivers you downloaded
Pick the device it pulls from the .inf file
Step through the rest of the wizard and you should be set.
The wording of the buttons may vary but should be similar to what you have (I'm running Vista).
RUU Version
What version of the RUU software is working, I tried the 2.00.1 that came with the 2.61 radio upgrade and it did not work.
I, too, am using 2.00.1. I'm going to try these steps on one other machine I have that's running Vista. We'll see what happens!
Thanks for providing a solution that works on Vista.
Upgraded my Hermes using mtty and RUU, no problems with the driver posted.
vista sucks big time...
best way -> uninstall -> xp

That zip file is corrupt. Anyone else know where I can get it?
Also, why do the steps in the first post say to uncheck "Allow USB connections"? When I do that, I can't find it in the device manager.
it workes finally but i realised that the 2.00.1 RUU is problematic, older versions work fine
Hello
I am new to this site and was hoping someone could give me a some assistance. I recently used Mirage 1.8 to update my i780 to WM6.1. the eboot and the PDA installed just fine but I can not for the life of me get the phone and phone boot loader update to install. I am using the i780 Phone Upgrade ROM DXHH1 file, found it on this site. After I click detect and then power up the phone I hear the connection sound on the computer that the device is recognized and then the Mirage software starts its thin. Then I hear the disconnect sound and then Mirage goes through the Kw.kim retry steps. And the phone shuts down.
I have tried the modem drivers but I seem to be having a problem with them. I downloaded and installed this file "Samsung_CDMA_modem_4.34". When I connect the Phone it shows that it found the i780 USB device but then it begins to install Samsung Mit's USB Device and then it fails to install the device properly...so it does not complete the installation properly. How do I go about installing the driver properly? I do not see it on the list of devices in system manager, where can I manually update the driver and were do I find the file once the software is installed. Or do I need to try something else?
So I just tried a WM6 Eng rom and it all installs fine but just like the WM6.1 I can not get the phone to turn on in the wireless manager. What do I need to do to get the phone to turn on?
Thank you.
DXHH1 is meant for Asian version of i780, what's yours? for which country?
And can you please tell us if you are using XP SP2 or 3 and not Vista because flashing in Vista with Mirage Updater will NEVER work even if you have the right driver.
Try this. Uninstall the Samsung drivers frist and then reinstall it after reboot.
Then instead of using a separate DXHH1 Phone only image, download a full Russian PUHE1 IMG file (you can search for this easily in this forum) and flash everything (eBoot+Phone+PDA). If you can flash the Russian IMG successfully, you will be able to boot up your i780 in Russian langauage and only after that you can try DXHH1 IMG (I mean the full IMG rom and not individual files)
Good luck

You can flash using VMWARE (trial available) and install WinXP inside the virtual machine.. that's how I flashed your V4
disable USB connection in activesync...
People, here is a link to the Samsung modem driver:
http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i600/Samsung_CDMA_modem_4.34.zip
Thanks for the replys.
My i780 is from France and it had the French ROM but not any longer because I forgot to back it up.
I have XP SP3 on my computer.
I have uninstalled the drivers as well as activesync. Restarted computer. Then installed the drivers suggested by Mochan above. Then installed activesync.
Connected the i780...all of the drivers were installed properly (Samsung MITs device found and installed and i780)
Opened activesync on computer and unchecked "allow usb connections".
Reconnected the device and powered it up and the computer found new device and installed "Samsung Mits".
I downloaded both the Russian and the Italian full Rom updates.
Opened Mirage v1.8 and selected first the russian Rom for edoot+pda+Phone selected detect.
Plugged in phone to usb and all of the steps worked up till the phone image. It says on the phone "phone image downloading" and on the computer it shows "switching usb to phone" and "Downloading phone".
Then for some reason the phone shuts down automatically and stays powered off.
Then Mirage brings up the message "Attempting to open com 0..." KW.KIM Create Retry (25) etc...Finally Download failed.
I have tried this with the Russian, Italian and English ROMs available. I have tried it with the following settings on the phone on and off:
- Emercency mode
- Regular restart of phone
- Reset phone by holding Red Green and Power button together.
- Removed the battery completely and restarted.
- Restarted with Sim installed and with sim removed.
- Settings/Connections/USB connection mode switched from Activesync to Mass storage and then switched back to Activesync.
- Settings/System/USB to PC "Enable advanced network functionality" selected and then deselected.
What am I missing?
Why does the phone shut down during the Phone.bin file download and not complete the downlad and install? Is there some setting that I am missing or a com port that I need to establish so they will communicate properly.
Everything seems to work on the phone even without the phone.bin file installed. The problem is that when I try to connect to wireless manager and enable the phone nothing happens and it does not register the sim card. Also In the Settings/Connection/USB connection mode I only have listed Activesync and Mass Storage. There is no listing for modem (I noticed in one of the other posts that they had the option to select modem). Is there something I need to do to enable this option.
Sorry for the long rant but wanted to make sure everyone had all of the info.
Thanks
my brother had a similar problem with his i780 - the phone refused to be recognised when flashing the phone.bin, the pda and eboot flashed perfectly no problem. We realised it was a problem specifically with the device as my i780 flashed all three parts fine.
In the end he got the device replaced which flashed fine!! Maybe there are a few dodgy phones out there! My advice would be to try and find a French rom and flash your device with that. Hopefully the rom will be compatible with the phone part of your phone!
Just downloaded the French rom from an xda thread. It would not load up under the eboot+PDA+Phone option but it did load under the PDA option in Mirage. Still can not turn on the phone under wireless options on the i780.
The phone/radio worked fine with the original rom. Once I did the first rom update to switch from french to english only using the pda update I lost the phone/radio functionality. So I dont think it is a hardware issue rather a software issue. For some reason it is not making the connection. I just dont know what it is. Could it be something with mirage? Why would the phone shutdown during the software install?
so looks to me that the problem is with the phones modem set up. I do not have it listed as an option for usb connectivity. Is there a reg edit or some other steps I should take in order to get the phone to set up the usb modem?
Thank you.
I still have had no success with my problem, has anyone come across any info about an official i780 update? Or does anyone know what I can do to get around my proble to install the phone rom? Thank you.
I have the same problem with apetrovic. I have used with phone off, which is a big pain. Just like a PDA with no phone. This is all happened after flash Russian image. The original rom was German. my i780 simply turns off after downloading and ends up with no port created.
Any clue, please.
I have downloaded your suggested driver, run the setup, restarted the computer and connected the i780 in Emergency mode with activesync disabled and the Computer keeps installing Samsung MITs Drivers and not the CDMA Drivers you supplied. I used the Add Hardware wizaer, interrupted the install process when the i780 is first connected and even tried the update driver option and I can not install the CDMA driver I always get the error that "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." How do I get the CDMA drivers you provided installed and not the MITs?
Thank you

Yes, I have also tried to intervene the installation of the MITs driver to install the CDMA driver, and Windows XP sp3 says "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." So, I could not install the CDMA driver.
I do not know how to get rid of the MITs driver completely, so that Windows XP does not even recommend this driver when I install the CDMA driver. Windows always complain the MITs driver is not signed.
I wonder if those who have successfully installed the CDMA driver also see the MITs driver in the device manager when i780 is connected to PC under the emergency mode. This looks important for the moment for you and I in resolving the issue.
Anyone who can tell us what driver is on when i780 is connected to PC under the emergency mode? Thanks in advance.
I think the problem for us is that we have lost the modem option on the i780 under settings-usb connection mode. Since we do not have the option the computer will not download the drivers. The drivers that are downloaded are prob ok because they are intended for USB sync but when you go to the device manager there is no i780 modem installed under modems...so my theory is that the computer is not installing the modem driver because it is not finding a modem on the phone. So we need to somehow get the modem option installed and available on the phone and then the computer will install the drivers and then we can properly install the wm 6.1 phone update. please let me know if you find anything out.

That's an interesting theory noticing the messages in the mirage loader.
"Switching USB to PHONE..." and then
"PHONE-Switching USB to PHONE...
PHONE-Automatic driver detection failed..
PHONE-Attempting to open COM 0...
PHONE-Port Create failed...: COM 0"
These clearly look related to the modem meaning we should be able to see the device under modem in the device manager of Windows XP.
In fact, my i780 got the phone rom flashed just for once successfully when I flashed the russian image (eboot, pda, and phone, altogether). I don't know what mysterious thing happened here, and then I have never succeeded back again in flashing the phone rom since then. My phone used to work no problem before this. I just wanted to have windows mobile 6.1, and now I know I should have clicked "PDA" in the mirage loader instead of "EBOOT+PDA+PHONE".
Well this is becoming more and more difficult!! I contacted US Samsung support to reflash my i780 and they can not do it becuse the phone is not sold in the US and then I contacted Samsung France and they cant flash it because they can not ship it back to the US. I need to have an address in France for them to ship it to. So now stuck with a phone that only has PDA functions.
If there is someone out there who can help me I would appreciate it. The problem is that I used the Roms available on this site to upgrade to WM6.1 and I lost my phone/radio function. Now my phone is stuck in flight mode. I was able to install the eboot and the pda bu the phone portion will not install. I followed the directions and installed just the PDA portion initially and it killed my modem/phone/radio function. Before the phone worked and modem was listed as an option under settings usb connection mode...now it is not.
I have tried to install a French ROM (because it was purchased in france)and that did nothing.
So if there is anyone out there that can help guide me in installing a functioning rom WM6 or 6.1 I would greatly appreciate it.

I didn't know that you are in the states causing the problems. Too bad. I have two questions for you to clarify the problem.
Before the phone worked and modem was listed as an option under settings usb connection mode
Does this mean you could see the third option called "phone" in USB connection mode in i780? Currently there are only two modes, which is ActiveSync and Mass storage.
I was able to install the eboot and the pda bu the phone portion will not install. I followed the directions and installed just the PDA portion initially and it killed my modem/phone/radio function
Does this mean that upgrading only PDA may brick our i780 not necessarily with eboot and phone? Because I keep thinking that, it may be eboot I updated from this site not turning on the modem in i780.
Sorry about your and my problem. Thank you for your feedback.
Does this mean you could see the third option called "phone" in USB connection mode in i780?
Yes there was a 3rd option but it was "Modem".
Does this mean that upgrading only PDA may brick our i780 not necessarily with eboot and phone?
When I first used the upgrade I used the i780 PDA portion only, as suggested.

Sorry but I think that there is a bit of confusion.
During the normal use of the phone, you never see a modem in the device manager.
You can see the phone as lan card (used by activesyc), as a different lan card (when internet connection sharing is enabled), or as storage device (if you enable the related function in the control panel).
No modem.
During the flash process of the pda section the phone is still seen as a lan card.
ONLY when the phone sectin is flashed the phone switch to phone/modem mode.
Going to the problem you must launch the phone flash process and ceck what happen in the meantime in the device manager.
Is a question mark present ?
There is a unknown usb device ?
And if is the case what is the pid and the vid of the device ?

I stumbled upon a website that had an image that showed a modem in both the device manager and the usb connection mode areas...I have looked for it to post the image but I dont know where to find it again...starting to get lost from all of the info I have come across trying to fix my phone...getting confusing now.
Anyway, here is what happens in device manager when I do the following:
-Activesync disabled - i780 in emergency mode - Samsung MIT's USB Device listed under Windows CE USB Devices
-Activesync disabled - i780 normal - 1st before WM6.1 is running it shows Samsung MIT's USB Device listed under Windows CE USB Devices. Then that goes away and windows mobile based device shows up under network adapters.
- Activesync enabled - i780 emergency - Found new hardware installs without error...look in device manager and there is a yellow exclamation point next to Samsung MIT's USB Device under Windows CE USB Devices.
- Activesync Enabled - i780 normal - 1st before WM6.1 is running it shows Samsung MIT's USB Device listed under Windows CE USB Devices. Then that goes away and windows mobile based device shows up under network adapters.
Now during all of the above steps there is never an unknown USB device listed. Also I tried using mirage with these same above settings and each time I get the notification that usb device not recognized and then the phone suts down and I get the KVM com port messages, and it fails to install the phone rom.
I would like to provide you with the pid and vid but I don't know what pid and vid stand for. please let me know and I will get it for you.
Thanks for the help.

Problem
Downloaded a new rom, _HTC_UNIVERSAL20270__WM6.1_WWE_Vanilla_Edition_by_luca16thebig.
So I took out the simcard and the sd card and ran the update utility, it crashes everytime;
giving me the error RUU has stopped working.
My phone on the other hand is now stuck in bootloader mode. So I do a few searches and download a utility to exit bootloader mode, UNI_ExitBootloader and I run it and it gives me the error cannot find USB device. Here I tried every USB slot and different cables to no avail. I guess its compatibility issues, so I go to properties and play around with the compatibility settings with no joy.
Solution
Downloaded Virtualbox and installed xp with activesync 4.5, enabled the USB in Virtualbox and disabled USB connections in activesync. I tried plugging my phone in and the UNI_ExitBootloader utility still gave me the same error. By chance I tried all the USB slots on my laptop and the ones at the back work, aparently the utility doesn't work with usb hubs and thats whats in the front of my laptop.
Another tip don't use any of the stripped down versions of xp like microXP etc, you need the xp cd to install activesync.
Just thought I'd share my experience, I think some people are having the same problem in Vista although correct me if i'm wrong.

I thought you did not have to install ActiveSync to upgrade ...
(ActiveSync is especially forced down by not using (listening!) the USB, so why install it anyhow? Then you might try a cut off XP version)

I was able to upgrade ROM (not once) from WinXP - VMWARE on Linux (FC 7).
Radio upgrade was failing any time. (I think, that it can work on other OS's too)
Is there any WinXP Live disk, that supporting ROM flashing?

bye
serch serch and don't worry the ppc is not over
as for me, i upgrade rom successfully under windows 7 build 7000 x64, exactly the same way as in vista, but if anybody is interested i can post it here.
Please help w/ W7
Hi. Can you detail how you achieved on W7?
a bit more detail
I am getting a failure of the RUU. Therefore, I am unable to continue and update the ROM. Thanks in advance for assisting w/W7.
I failed upgrading RadioROm too in my OSX 10.5.6 using VMWARE
I'm using VMWARE (ver 2.0.1) too, but for Mac OSX..
My Windows are XP 32 bit, and OSX running it is OSX 10.5.6..
I have flashed many, MANY ROM to my G3 Universal (Dopod ver) using my XP by VMWARE.. but i also noticed it always failed when flashing Radio ROM.. afterwards, i use my colleague's Laptop using XP 32 bit (the same OS i installed in my VMWARE) and it runs smooth as silk.. ;p
Also, not so long ago i tried flashing my o2 XDA2i using my VMWARE (upgrade all 3 ROM - including the Radio).. and what do you know.. it failed again..
i think the ROM upgrade utility / MA Upgrade utility has some crash with VMware's driver..
Too bad there aren't ROM upgrade utility for other OS besides M$..
such a shame, considering M$ are trying to shut our beloved forum not so long ago.. (they even still trying)

Well, for anybody is experiencing problems, here is a short but illustrated manual about flashing in windows 7.
1. Open your device manager and select Microsoft Usb Sync in Mobile Devices section:
2. Open its properties and go to Driver tab, then press Update Driver:
3. Choose the second option:
4. AGAIN choose the second option:
5. Click Have Disk button:
6. Select the folder with downloaded driver (the one for Windows 7 x32 and the one for Windows 7 x64):
7. You will get back to previous screen, then click Install, a warning appear, click Install anyway:
8. Wait while driver installs:

10. Now when you get back to driver properties, don't close the window and check driver version. If it changed from 2nd step (2003 instead of 2007), everything is ok:
When everything is complete, close this window, go to bootloader and flash your favourite rom
İnstall vista ruu driver.
It is not XP or VISTA
you know i have the same problem with this rom something is wrong, i tried in 3 different computers with XP with the same result as you, then i tried to flashed in another computer with VISTA, upgrading the driver sucessfully but the same result, so i return to COTULLA rom flashing in VISTA with no problems at all, conclusion it´s not XP or VISTA with all the respect maybe you should take a look to your rom LUCA (happends the same with diamond rom) it would great that you can fix it, thanks !

Doesnt work on Windows 7 Build 7000. Tried today and it doesnt show Microsoft USB sync anymore, HTC USB Sync instead.
The method lt2p showed worked for me on Win 7 build 7100
I had to select Show Compatibility Devices and then select to install the Windows powered Pocket Pc 2003 driver instead though -
Otherwise everything else is the same and it updated the rom without a hitch
this didn't work for me
im using windows 7x64, and i cant get to upgrade my uni

- First of all you need to put your device in bootloader mode (press and hold power, light and softreset button)
- then connect the MDA to your computer.
- open computer management (devicemanager) and you will see "Microsoft USB Sync" as in first picture.
I did it and it's working on my Win 7 (Buils 7600)
Woo hoo! your the man!

Thanks Mate this helped me alot.
Hey Guys
I am a new member as you can all see, and i have been wanting to update my Touch Dimond for ages now but after installing the HardSPL, i kept getting Update Error 262 when trying to install a new Radio or ROM.
So after Reading Countless Threads and trying a million different things, i figured this out.
Start:
>>Make sure you have HardSPL 1.93 installed
>>Then when installing a ROM, take the diamimg.nbh file and put it into the root dir of your internal storage.
>>Then take another copy of that diamimg.nbh file and put it into the HardSPL folder
>> Manually Start the bootloader by holding down the "down volume" Key and Turning off the Phone, keep you finger on the down volume key ALL THE TIME, restart the phone with your finger still keeping the volume key down, the phone will now start in Bootloader mode.
>>Now connect your phone to the PC via USB, and start the RUU.
>>The ROM Installation will now start.
I hope this has helped, this is how i eventually got the installation to work.
Thanks guy

Haven't had this problem myself, but it's good to hear that you got the problem solved Well done mate.
How is the computer supposed to recognize the phone when its in the bootloader ? if i do what you are telling me to do the RUU doesnt find the diamond and the phone keeps saying loading!
I guess the flaw of this solution is if you don't have access to an OS or can't transfer the file through ActiveSync then you can't copy the file.
But the installer can still see your device in some cases. Make sure to disable "Enable USB connections" in the ActiveSync icon->Connection Settings... and then run the updater.

your all missing the point, you can flash from usb directly from bootloader!! al the ruu does is switch the device into bootloader mode then flash, if your device is already in bootloader mode it just flashes.
so if you run the ruu and get error 262 disconnect the usb, you will see the word "serial" appear, then reconnect the usb and after a driver install "USB" will appear.
can i just ask, all you people have the correct active sync driver installed right? i.e. the ones i posed in my thread HERE If you are using vista or win7 you MUST FOLLOW POST 2!!
if you do not install these drivers vista and win 7 CANNOT communicate with the bootloader.
verify you have my drivers installed and then post back please

to be honest, i did tried your drivers, but have two problems
1. if your drivers installed, when in bootloader, windows7 (vista) do not "see" my diamond, though cannot communicate with it
2. if i leave the "download drivers automaticly from the net" and windows installs his drivers, i do have communication with the diamond, rru also "SEES" it, but mtty doesnt work with those drivers.
<tried both win7 ultimate and home premium>
workaround that i find usefull and works for me, is to have xp as a virtual machine, using your drivers, so mtty work fine
Hi all!
Yesterday, I want to flash another ROM to my diamond, and downloaded the nbh file into the Internal Storage... (but I've forgot to rename the file from "ruu_signed.nbh" to "diamimg.nbh")
After, I've formatted the device with mtty application (same procedure as in the relative thread), but when I start the phone for flashing, it can't find any image (obviously)... But it can't boot so!
Now I have to sent it to the repair center?
Or there is a solution for flashing an image in my phone? (for example, there isn't a way to connect the phone to the PC in "storage mode"; or a command through mtty for renaming files)
P.S.: my diamond, when in bootloader mode, won't connect with ActiveSync, I can communicate with it only with mtty software
Connect the phone, start the Bootloader (volume down). If you can read "USB" you will be able to flash a new ROM, try the orginal stock ROM from HTC first.

Thanks for the reply!
I can read "USB" (it's "Serial, when i connect the USB cable to diamond & PC, it changes to USB), but I can't start the RUU utility...
why you can't start the RUU utility??

It's because the phone don't connect with ActiveSync (I mean)... The RUU don't recognize the phone!
I've tried with three different usb cables, with a different usb port, with reinstalling ActiveSync, with another two PCs (the first with Win Xp & ActiveSync, the other one with Win 7 & the Mobile Devices Center) none of this can't see the phone connected... I repeat the only thing can I use on the phone is the BootLoader, and there isn't no way to connect it to a PC for execute the RUU...
At now, I'm looking at the mtty commands' list, maybe there's one that can operate on the files in the Internal Storage...

The phone is ready for usb connection, but ActivSync (AS) must recognize it by this way
- Open AS > File > Connection Settings
- Leave all default then press Conect (button)
- Let AS detect all connections. When it does finish (you can see the message ... USB is available...), DON'T close the window
- Run RUU, now it should see your device !!!
You don't and shouldn't need ActiveSync or WMDC to run mtty. You need the updated drivers for your phone.

I see "USB is available",I leave open that window, and I run the RUU...
In first moment, it find the phone, and show me the window for updating (showing the old rom, and the new one) but when i click update it stops at 0%, telling me that can't communicate with the phone...

Ok, it's true... But I can run mtty, is ActiveSync/Mobile Device Manager that can't see the phone!

Again, you don't need ActiveSync/WMDC to run a custom RUU. Make sure you have the updated drivers for the device (try uninstall/reinstall in the host PC>>Device Manager). Are you sure you're running a "Developer" version of HSPL?
About ActiveSync: ActiveSync (server) needs the activesync client (on your phone) to run for the purpses of 'sync'ing contacts, mail acocunts etc. It will not affect RUU in anyway. If you further clarity on this, I'll make a larger post on the technical blah blah someplace...but someone from xda might have done that already.

Ok, now I understand... Thanks!
The driver my PC is using is "HTC USB Sync", it's correct? I've tried many times to uninstall, and re-install from Device Manager, but no changes...
The SPL is 1.93 from OliNex!
I think there is an incompatible driver in your Windows PC.
1) open bootloader your phone then plug in usb cable
2) If you are using Windows 7, open control panel
Go to Device Manager.
Find device called HTC Sync or QUACOMM something delete it (including driver)
3) Unplug the USB Cable and plug in again.
4) Windows 7 will start to find an appropriate driver for your device (check device manager)
5) Unplug the USB Cable and plug in again to use the new driver
6) Run RUU to upgrade the ROM
If you are not using Windows 7, you can do the same but you have to install driver manually because only Win 7 can search and update driver automatically. Drivers can be found on HTC CDs, XDA-developers site, or well somewhere else.
If you can still access Boot loader, there is no need to panic. Somehow, if you still cannot do this, just borrow somebody else computer then plug in and try to upgrade.

Cool, Satus has given the exact things you can do...also make sure your HSPL is unsigned to allow unsigned roms to be flashed. I use the Win7 default drivers for my device (that it downloads) and it works perfectly IMO.

I have done this suggestion without any luck... i'm able to get into bootloader, get windows 7 to install the driver as PocketPC USB Sync. but when i run the RUU utility it does not find the phone.
