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...

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

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install a new ROM on my MDA Compact IV but it isn't working.
The Olinex unsigned hard sspl (1.40) installed just fine. But when I try to install the Diamond stock 1.93 ROM it gets stuck on one percent. Then a error appears that says that i haven't connect the right PDA. When I try to install an other ROM the progress bar doesn't even starts, error 262 pops up (connection error).
Does anyone has in idea what I am doing wrong, or what ROM does work on MDA.
Please help me.
Niels
EDIT: Manual Bootloader did the job for the custom ROM! Tread can be closed!
use a custom rom, if you want to use the stock rom you need a edited rom because of the version number, you can't install a stock rom to the mda.. but i would recommend using a custom rom because original is crap
dear friends
I am facing a strange problem on my diamond.
After flashing any ROM (whichever it may be) the loading of cabs etc takes place successfully.
But, after few minutes/hours the contents of strat/program are gone. and no program functions. I have flashed re-flashed and reflashed. cannot get over this strange proble.
Can any body guide me what wrong is happening with my diamond???
PS: I have hard SPL 1.40 olinex on my device.

c_shekhar:
I have a similar problem. I have had no issues flashing in the past and am very familiar with the procedure. The other day however I noticed a problem where by some of my apps would "disappear".. odd. Also after some time my phone would hard reset instead of soft reset, at first I put this down the ROM as I have had this before with udk's ROMs (no disrespect intended!) and had tried his topaz ROM. It seems to have got to the point now that once a few hours have passed my phone will lock up and then when I reset, it just hangs at the "touch Diamond" screen and I have to hard reset.
I have tried reflashing Radio, Hard SPL, OS.. I have also tried installing my apps one by one and soft reseting after each install. just whenI think it is working it will freeze again.
I have tried flashing different HARD SPL's but it always completes but when I go into boot loader it still says OLINEX 1.40.
What was the last ROM you flashed before you started noticing the issue? The last two I tried where udk syrius topaz and DIB 1.33.
I wandered if it was something to do with the data on my internal storage???
Going to try a hard reset and format movinand next to see what that does.
P.S: yours was the last ROM I used for my Polaris, it was awesome!!
I tried uDK's topaz based latest ROM and after that it started givind problem.
many a times when I prick for soft reset it hard resets the device. I have hard resetted my device several times but it does not set the problem right.Huhhh
Thanks for liking my Polaris ROM..
any headway found by you pl share.....I had borrowed somebody's Diamond and it is F*##ed up.
Same problem here
I have the same problem.
Started with morna 1.8 and then vic 3.5 and then windows net 6.5.
Seems like it keeps doing it. I just flashed a complete standard stock rom from htc from my internal storage instead of via active sync which had radio os etc all included. i then did nand reformat and copied all my data back. its almost like it forgets the apps that was installed. I also tried redoing olipro 1.4. Its running now on the stock rom from this morning. I did reset about 15 times and its still "sticking". Ill update you guys to see if anything changes.
Very very odd.
I know its not rom related and not a flashing problem - unless i flashed the diamond too many times. Ive been flashing from the good old Imate days, Kaiser, Kaiser 2 etc. So Im NOT doing anything wrong...
I new I wouldn't be the only one!!
I have just hard reset and formatted movinand AND re-downloaded all my apps so for now nothing will be going back on my internal storage that was on before.
I'll post any updates.
I have the same problem with the Morna. Flashed, reflashed, soft & hard reset.. nothing solved. Every about 24hour the TF3D won't start, the SMS&Emails folders are empty, no contacts and on desktop an error on file BOOT.MSC (can't find associated program to open that)...
After 3 days, I have flashed the Touch with the TIR11 and no one problem. I don't know if the problem is of the rom or else...
Sounds like a virus...
never encounter this problem,but some of my friends does.neither do I know why
offtopic: Are you working on a Diamond rom? I really loved (in fact I'm still using it) your 1.60.21014bCS on my polaris... I think it will be permanent... Have you thinked of making a M2D rom for Diamond ?
I had this problem if i cooked a bloated rom on my Artemis, it was easly solved by flashing an untuched stock rom directly from the operator and then flashing a custom rom again and then no problems untill i next flashed a bloated rom, i think that if the rom is too big it fills the area designed for the rom the starts to overright the hpl/spl or radio then the phone starts to crash and loose programs.
so get your opperators rom, flash, flash stock SPL, then flash h/SPL to re-unlock so you can try another custom rom
don't forget to use the H/SPL custom ruu-flasher to flash stock spl or it won't flash (its overright protected)

Thanks for the info, i'll give that a go. Makes sense. Will have to wait till tomorrow so i'll have to put up with a crippled phone till then!!
I posted about this issue a couple of days ago,I had all the symptoms described.
After using the clear storage option on my diamond,clearing the phone and internal storage then flashing a new rom,the problem seems to be resolved.
I also experienced similar issues yesterday and for the first time ever, during the use of a udK rom.

Update : ITs 17 hours later and still going fine. So maybe the reflashing of the stock rom resolved it. I must say the stock rom i flashed is huge. its over 110Mb so maybe it cleaned out all the jazz. Or maybe when i reformatted the NAND it resolved the problem. I dont know. I also did a softreset about 50 times during the night removing the battery every now and then and its still ok. Ill Update again as soon as something Happens

Ill try another rom tonite probably morn 1.8 or wm 6.5 beta 3. and see what happens
i flashed to a HK 2.03 rom and try udk's again, so far so good, will report back any issue
I got exactly the same after the huge 6.5 beta
Clear storage was enough to get rid of it for me (no need for the internal format or the std ROM)
Thanks

Can you kindly write more details?
Is HK 2.03 stock ROM?
Which hardSPL did you have on your device before flashing the HK 2.03?
etc...

Flashed stock 1.93 rom then flashed stock 1.93 spl.
