As a result of a failed update (failed at 60%) why Vario II is now not very well. When I power the unit on it hangs on the HTC screen. If I power the unit on and hold the power & OK key to enter the update screen things seem to get better.
The update process starts, the device is recognised, the update starts and on the Vario the screen shows 0% Upgrade, at which point the PC update fails with the 262 Update Error. Prior to the update there is a screen that shows the software version on the device and the upgrade, version, my unit no longer shows any version, it blank.
Any suggestions, is there a way to recover this?
Thanks

Have a look at this error list I posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298640
Thanks for the post, I'd done a search and come across the same page, however whatever I do the update fails.
The upgrade appears to be OK, clicking next , next etc the device is recognised, but not version number, every time it gets to the point of uploading the firmware and displaying the % complete it fails, with no progress.
Any other suggestions, is it possible to flash the device using an memory card?
Thanks for any suggestions
UPDATE !!!
I've found the details regarding flashing using SD card (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing) but this seems to be failing.
When the bootloader starts it recognises the SD image, the screen goes white and displays 'Loading' after a few seconds '00068002' in red is displayed and the SPL bootloader screen is displayed.
Further fun and games, I seem to be able to use mtty utility and have sucessfully downgrade to SPL 1.01 and back upto 1.04 neither of which improved the above.
If I'm able to do this, can I use mtty to load OS.nb, if so where can I get hold of a valid OS.nb file for my Vario II
I'm the newbiest of them all, I think I bricked my brand new Excalibur!!!
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I need heeeelp!
O.K., here it is:
I just downloaded kavana's 080314 WM6.1 installer for the HTC Excalibur, I ran the exe and followed instructions, afterwards, the ROM app opened and started upgrading the phone but it got stuck at 1%, it made be go thru the recovery process several times (unplug, turn off, disconnect battery, turn on) but it always started on tricolor mode and always got stuck on 1%, after a third recovery process the ROM app just quit and left me hanging on tricolor mode!!!
Activesync won't connect now, I try to run kavana's exe again but it doesn't recognize the phone either, the phone is on, conected (windows makes the usb sound for connection) but it is not recongized, it's as if it's not plugged.
It is stuck on tricolor mode and I don't know what to do!
Please help me!!!
Try the dicussion thread "Bricked my T Mobile phone" there are plenty of answers there.
Will this work?
I saw this on said thread, but I presume it applies for a Herald phone, will it work?
The tricolor mode is "bootloader mode"?
Isn't there some sort of restart that can fix it?
Can someone elaborate on this? I'm really a super-noob!!!
"Try a SD card flash to unbrick your device
This is how:
MAKE SURE THE HERALD IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE STARTING THE PROCES
#01 Download your original RUU
#02 Download (if not yet installed) WinRar and install
#03 Copy your full sd micro card to your harddisk and format your card with FAT 32
#04 Rightclick the downloaded exe file with your original RUU, click Unpack here
#05 In the map the will be created you will find a file (or similar) called RUU_signed.nbh. Copy this file to your formated sd microcard.
#06 Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh
#07 Get your Herald into bootloader modus by pressing the comm manager button and the camera button and pressing the reset button at the same time. Do not release both buttons until your in bootloader.
#08 Once in bootloader pop in your sd micro card.
#09 As soon as your card is popped in the screen will say something like "Reading SD card". Wait it out till it says "Push button to start" and slide the indicated volume slider down.
#10 The Herald will start the flashing proces. Wait it out till it says "Press any button" and hit the send button.
#11 Perform a hard reset
#12 Voila! Your back in business"

I believe you didn't application unlock it first. I had same issues. I finally got it to load. I don't think you bricked it. Remove battery wait a few seconds and restart phone

Do try these procedures first. I'm just throwing it out there but if you try again it is probably a better choice to flash to WM6 first. Then try flashing to the 6.1.
I'm sure you can return it but come up with a believable excuse.
Yes, You Are Correct!

Yes, that is the correct path for him to take, install a 6.0 ROM first, before installing a 6.1 ROM. I suggest he install the T-Mo official wm6, just to get things started in the right direction again.
(1) If the device is still in the tri color mode (bootloader mode), that's a very good sign, it's not bricked. Connect the device to your PC via active sync in the tri color mode, you may think that the device is not connected to Your PC but it is, it may not look like it's connected, run the official T-Mo wm6 ROM RUU WWE, it will install on your device as long as your device is in the tri color mode.
(2)Once you get the wm6 ROM installed on your device, you must first SDA_ApplicationUnlock your device, next you want to Certificate AppUnlock and SurrealApplication Unlock your phone. Now, the reason you are doing all these unlocks are because you coming off the T-Mo wm6 ROM.
(3)After all this have been done, it now ok to try to install the 6.1 ROM on your device.......!
Great support!!! But now comes the obvious question from the n00b of the n00bs!!!
Got it, now the big question is: how to flash to WM6?
Is it done by the steps I posted early? (formatting SD, etc.)
Also, where do I get the T-mobile RUU?
Finally, there are a few things you should know, my phone was bought in Mexico, under the cellphone company Movistar (Spain's Telefonica and I've heard U.S. AT&T), it had WM5 before I "bricked" it (hehehe).
When I turn it now, a few miliseconds before the tricolor screen I can read in the phone a "waiting for SD card" message when the tricolor screen comes on, I get this version of RUU 1.15.000.
I appreciate all your help, as a contribution to this amazing community, when I get thru this, I hereby commit myself to write a fully understandable guide for noobs with the same problem (not too long).

Is your mobile device still in the tri color mode, if so just connect it back to your PC via active sync, It will accept the download! OK you can get the T-Mo wm6 at T-Mo's website, if not I will send you a link with the T-Mo wm6 RUU. Don't panic, you are still in the game.......!
Update!! Phone unbricked but still on WM5!
Ok... I used this ROM: HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
It went thru the upgrading process but got stuck at 3%, anyway, it finished with a message like "this ROM cannot be used for your phone" or something and restored WM5.
Now I will follow instructions on the thread: "The Full Guide To Upgrading From Windows Mobile 5 to 6" and I'll be posting my acomplishments on this thread.
Question: The reasons for me not being still able to upgrade may be:
1. I haven't unlocked phone,
2. My phone is for Mexico and cellphone co. "Movistar", or
3. I'm running Windows XP as a virtual machine (via parallels) on an intel Macintosh and somehow there's a problem with the USB drivers.
I'm rooting for option 1 (but kavana's upgrade was supposed to already unlocked it). Option 3 maybe but then, why do I get Activesync to run? Option 2 would be a bummer!
T-Mobile WM6 RUU WWE ROM
Get the T-Mobile official Wm6 RUU WWE Rom here http://www.mediafire.com/?0vtw32zmuz3 ......!Oh! I throught you had a Excalibur.....!
Just can't seem to upgrade WM5 to WM6!
Iv'e tried the T-Mobile ROM and the HTC ROM and I get an: "invalid vendor id"
I tried every step on the aforementioned thread, even de CIS unlock, and still no luck... again, my vendor is movistar/telefonica/cingular.
Any thoughts?

A easy frix, but read the instructions very carefully, jockyw2001 thread is located in the sticky section. What you are looking for will be in post #1.........!
New Instructions
Run the Excalibur Uspl-CID ByPass.zip, extraxt on your PC and open it there, you will see several file folders. Open the one that say (uspl) MS-Dos batch File, follow on screen instructions by pressing any key. This time when you see the white screen on your device do not panic! Run the HTC WM 6 ROM, this is done while the screen is still white on your device. Just follow the on screen instructions on your PC.............!
Now I definitively bricked it!
I ran the CID unbloker, screen went blank, ran the ROM, it got to 16% and made me do a recovery, after the recovery it gave me the same "invalid vendor id" message and it automatically restarted the phone, but...
The restart stopped at the HTC intro screen!! I've restarted it several times and it just stops on the first HTC logo screen... even a hard reset won't fix it!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Here is a visual aid.
You are not reading into detail. Use the Tmobile rom instead of the HTC Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368998&highlight=Jamerican
Still Bricked!!!
Yeah!!! superb visual aid!!!
I just wish I had seen it before I bricked it!!!!
This is the current state of my phone: I press power, I see a white screen with the HTC logo in the middle, the phone vibrates, still the same HTC logo... and it is stuck that way! I can't turn it off, I have to take out the battery!!
I've tried a hard reset, same thing happens! It stays stuck on the HTC logo screen and I'm forced to pull the battery out for the phone to shut down.
It is obviously not recognized in any way when I plug it to the PC's USB.
What made this happen? HTC Generic ROM got stuck on 16% before telling me "invalid vendor id", restarted the phone and voila: brick!!
Boy, I wish I was back in the tricolor mode!!!
IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO?
I'm seriously thinking about going back to the vendor on monday and saying: It was like this when I woke up (I just bought it three days ago!!!)
If it gets that far, it doesnt seem totally bricked, ima PC man, so this may be off, but it seems like some kinda bootloader error on the phone itself....IE, the HTC screen is all that the bootloader tells the phone to load. Have you tried forcing the phone into bootloader mode?
I Looooooove Google!!!
OK... I found a turnaround for the problem... got it to go to bootloader mode!!!
Whenever something like these happens to you this is the hard way to put your excalibur/dash in bootloader mode:
1. Take out battery and sd card;
2. Plug your USB cable to your PC (not yet to the phone)
3. Press and keep holding the SIMB. key (the one with the camera next to the space bar)
4. Plug your USB cable to your phone (while still pressing the SIMB. key)
5. Voila: You are in bootloader mode!!
This was gotten for a 15 min. search in google!!
Now... I'll keep going with my WM5 to WM6 upgrade...

hold your vol down button while reseting your device, then you should get to the bootloader and from there you can use task29 and then reflash your rom

Just would like to share after searching on xda-dev
i think the error says
"Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again "
try this and see if it works.
1. Download orginal rom from HTC.com
2. Remove HTC Battery
3. Remove SD-Card
3. Connect the Phone to USB-Computer
4. Start-up the phone in the Tree-color screen
5. If everything is right, in the bottom you will see USB
6. Start-up the update on your computer (rom you've downloaded from htc.com)
7. Run the Update
8. Your phone will boot after it succesfull install
9. Place the battery and SD-Cart back in the Phone
Enter BOOTLOADER mode
Hi,
A video how to enter the bootloader mode: HERE
Makes perfect sense to me. If you broke the USB connection, it didn't finish flashing the ROM. So it has nothing to boot. Same thing if you hard reset, there is nothing to hard reset too, if the ROM is messed up. But as long as you can get into bootloader, you can flash the ROM and recover.

Thanks for your video. It's useful.
can't do anything from bootloader screen
I have been flashing ROMs for years, so not a total noob. For some reason, after running task29, rhodium won't connect to pc via activesync. I can enter bootloader and it says 'usb', however. I tried flashing ROM from SD card, but stays stuck in bootloader screen and goes nowhere. Please help?
