Firstly I would like to say thanks to this site and the trinityguides.info site for the great work people have being doing and making available to everybody, it is great being able to use my trinity with wm6, keep the good work going!
Now the issue I seem to be hitting the same "error [260] connection" every time I attempt to update anything on my Trinity. I have followed the advice on the trinityguides site regarding being stuck in bootloader mode to no avail, and I can't seem to find anything in the posts on the xda site which will rectify the issue.
Previously I have been able to update to AX3L v2.8.01 version without any problems, but I decided to update to sammy's ultra light, it initially kicks into des' crashproof sspl, but then it can't connect to the pc. even when I manually enter olipro's hard-spl it does the same. I have tried to re-install hard-spl, but can't. Disconnecting the usb option in the activesync settings doesn't do anything either. Does anybody have any suggestions for me please?
I am not even too sure if my trinity should have both Des' crashproof and hard-spl on it at the same time? Could someone advise me on whether this is alright please?
the tech details:
Trinity
AX3L_OS_v2.0.8.2
radio - 1.46.30 (even though it doesn't say this in the device info, or boot screen after soft reset)
Home PC - XP (just in case)
Did you also try flashing it again, the ROM I mean. I have this error also but as soon as I execute the ROM flash again it finds the device and starts flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1449597&postcount=2
I am assuming you mean flash with the new ROM, sammy's in my case?
yes, as described in the link I posted before. As soon as the error occurs, do not touch the phone, leave it, just start the ROM flash procedure again. (execute ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
No, I am in the same situation. The first attempt puts the device in 'ipl-sspl by des' bootloader mode then after about 10 seconds or so the error[260] is displayed on the pc. If I exit the ruu app and attempt again, nothing new happens on the trinity (i.e. it is still in Des bootloader) and the message is displayed again.
the thing is that when it first goes into des bootloader mode, the white strip doesn't have any text in it. If I pull the usb cable out then put it back in, 'serial' is then displayed in the white bar, but I am still in the same situation as before.
What operating system en activesync are you using?
On the PC I am using XP and Activesync 4.5
Check your connection settings to accept USB connections. Also, try using Hard-SPL 1.30 before flashing the ROM again.

In your PC, try another USB connection.
BLOODY HELL!!! It is the simplest things which we often forget to try. Thanks Jotam for pointing out an obvious point, it must have needed a re-plug of the usb cable into another port for the pc to pick up the device again. I will remember that for future updates so I don't make a dumb ass of myself again. Thanks guys/gals.
Vista
Using Vista? if so which version?
Hi I asked this question yesterday, I am a noob :-[ but the only difference is I'm using Vista Ultimate.
Just for others who have the problem.
When you replug into another USB port (Luckly I've got two on my laptop..)
I used the Vista drivers from TrintyGuides and bingo !
now I try and flash a WM6.....English or Italian...maybe French.
Thanks for the help I keep you posted.

It works
Now to discover the joys of WM6 after only having WM5 for two weeks....
/i am getting the same only rom update 3.14.4.1 now sees the phone..
has the device name changed???
evene exploit no longer sees the phone
sorry, can you be a little more clear.. what ROM are you flashing, and what exactly is happening?
by the way... i thought error 246 was the connection error... am i mixed up? which is 260?
This seems to be on any rom bar the Dopod roms
and it says 260 connection error
Error 260 connection error - the phone is not going in to bootloader mode - and the RUU cannot seem to initiate communication with the phone.
I'm getting this a lot recently trying to flash.
However, Hold the power and camera buttons while resetting with the stylus (keep them buttons held down).
When you get to the bootloader - plug the phone in - wait till you see the USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen - then run the RUU again - it WILL work - every time.
I used to get this error message alot. sometimes the programs you install don't allow you to update even if you force the phone into bootloader mode so you have to hardreset the device and then upgrade.....hope this helps

hi ,
my htc diamond stack, no respond on the screen i try to do hard reset with tree buttons but its not working, nothing happaned, screen stay home screen with the time and not responding touching the screen at all
please emergensy help
I've searched but can't find the answer to this one - sorry if I've missed it somewhere. I have an unmolested T-Mobile UK MDA Vario 2 and I'm trying to install the official TM UK WM6 upgrade ROM.
On my desktop PC (which is properly paired to the phone through ActiveSync to sync with Outlook etc) running the exe results in a grey box with red text saying "Checking files on your PC" forever unless I unplug the phone. Then it will eventually launch the wizard. If I plug the phone in again and wait until it's synced and "Connected", the wizard will go all the way through to checking the existing version and starting the upgrade. However, when the upgrade starts the progress bar stays at 0% and the phone turns off!! Eventually it times out with a 260 error, and no changes have been made to the phone. The PC is running XP, but the only fixes I've seen for the 260 error are if you're running Vista?
I've also tried on my XP laptop - this isn't paired, so the connection through Activesync is just as Guest. The update still does the strange thing with the "Checking files on your PC" box if the phone's plugged in, but unlike the desktop PC the RUU won't talk to the phone at all - connection error before it can even verify the existing ROM version.
Can anyone help? I've been waiting for months to get WM6!
Cheers,
Tim
Phone just turns off?
OK, so now I've done a hard reset on the phone, paired it up to my XP laptop and told it not to sync anything. Now I get to the same stage as I do on the desktop - i.e. the phone switches itself off when the upgrade begins (at 0%), then the RUU times out with an error 260!
One odd thing I noticed is that if I plug the phone in with "Advanced network functionality" enabled (which it is by default) the PC tries to connect it as a new 10mb network card!? However, the RUU does the same thing whether this is enabled or not.
Getting desparate for help now - I've tried 2 different machines and even cleared the phone completely, what more can I do?
Cheers,
Tim
Try flashing from an sdcard. There are quite a post on it here, if you do a quick search you should be able to find the information and hopefully get your device upgraded.
It might be worth installig spl V7 from here before hand just in case anything goes wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Working!
Thanks for the reply. Finally got it flashed using the instructions from here:
http://forums.cingular.com/cng/boar...thread.id=42389&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
Basically, you have to:
- Connect using Activesync and let it finish syncing.
- Start RUU.
- Activesync will close - ignore it and carry on.
- Eventually the phone will go into debug mode.
- Continue through the wizard - it won't be able to identify the existing rom version but this seems to be normal.
- Let it finish!
I was fiddling when Activesync closed - strangely, by disconnecting, restarting AS and reconnecting the wizard carried on and even identified the existing rom properly! It seems that it needs AS to connect to the phone initially, then it closes AS but keeps the USB connection open for the update.
Hope that helps anyone else with the same problem.
Cheers,
Tim
The bootloader that I use freezes. I wait 2 hours for it to upload, and when I close the program I get the prompt that says the progran is not responding. I am using a bootloader by chrismrulz, someone in another forum. It is called just "bootloader". I have windows XP on my laptop and wm5 on my hx4700. I follow his instructions in trying to upgrade it. I would like to know what methods people are using here to upgrade their pdas.
Update: I have tried again and this time the program didn't freeze. It did say that it failed to syncronize with device. I used the same usb connection that I use activesync on.
I'm running Vista and when I wanted to run the bootloader upgrade on my Dash I kept getting this message error. Error 260. anybody find any way around it? I've tried to manually set th ephone into bootloader mode, same result. help!! PS the error is supposed to mean "port already open" or "open port error" I'd really appreciate any help!
erro 260 - fixed
switches to my wife's laptop that had XP on and it worked like a charm. I'd be glad to assist anybody in the process od de-branding their Dash. Removing the ugly T-mobile paint logo on the unit was easy too.
ERROR 260
Sorry for thislong story....
OK, I've been on looking around the site for a while. I installed the WM6 Beta. I was looking for two days for the WM5 ROM only because I want the little things to work. Finally found it. But now every time I try to flash my phone ack to WM5 bI keep getting the 260 connection error. The readme only says to restart the comp and phone and try again. I have literally, no joke, done this 12 times in the last 2 hours, hoping maybe it will go. All the phone does is go to the green, blue, and red screen and stays there. Then the comp says it gets the error. I know it's connected because Sync Center syncs, I can look through the phone, install apps from my comp, etc. Also I tried doing the 'Update only' rom for version 1.11 or so, and it starts to go but then says its the wrong version RUU. Has anyone had this problem before? Flashing to WM6 did this once and then worked after.
I'm running Vista Premium, stock sync cable, Microsoft Sync Center for vista. All this is the sameas when I flashed to WM6.
There goes another 3 attempts, trying to change timing, reinstalling Sync Center, etc.
Decided to try it on my XP desktop, and for some reason, first time it worked. Maybe Vista didn't like it? Who knows..
Mladito Vista!!
Hi there,
I have the same little problem here!!!! I have a laptop with Vista (garbage)... so i´ll try on a laptop running XP...thank you for posting this, it was a big help..i let you know how it turns out... see you around
WM5 to WM6 --> Problems at 3%
Hi all,
I've errors upgrading my phone to WM6.
I Can open the Wizard (it`s a generic to S620/S621), but in 3% i`ve an error.
I think thats my phone has a blocked CID.
How can i unlock this? i`ve tryed with tools to unlock, but without success...
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Your problem is that your phone is CID-Locked. Hence, you'd need to use a paid service to unlock it. I personally used the following service which provides instant unlocking:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/htc-excalibur-instant-remote-unlock-p-1452.html
I used a credit card, it's 39.99 $ - I was done unlocking and upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 in about 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck !
P.S:
Steps to install WM6
- First CID/SIM Unlock using GSM Liberty
- Flash Bootloader
- Install WM6 ROM (It will take some time for it to load so give it about 5-10 mins. it does get stuck at the boot screen for sometime but eventually it'll load)
- Install Office/Audio Manager
- Application Unlock your phone using SDA Application Unlocker
- Install the necessary software/tweak/hacks
there you go, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. also, if you use the search function, everything's available here.
Good Luck !
Here's the following links you require
1) Flash Bootloader
ftp://xda:[email protected]
2)here's the WM6 ROM:

here's Htc Audio Manager for those who want it:

Hi,
I`ve problems because my IMEI is from Brazil...
And in the site accept only 15 digits IMEI..
My imei is: 35*************02 (17 Digits IMEI)
Thanks,
Emerson
hey,
that's not a problem. everyone has 17 digits, don't include the last 2 digits when you type in your IMEI so for example
11111111111111102
just include the first 15 and submit and you'll get an unlock link in your e-mail, follow that link, scroll down to the page to download dashunlock software and download the .UNL file for your IMEI and then make sure ur phone is connected to active sync and it's green, open the dash-unlock program and then hit enter then it'll ask for the .UNL file, locate it and open it and your good to go - your phone will be unlocked then soft reset it or i think it's automatic and everything's set.
good luck !
p.s: in other words, don't include 02 when you type in your IMEI.

Emerson;
Read the second post from luckybandit on this thread. That´s exactly what to do to get rid of the "invalid model" issue. Download the bootloader, flash the phone, flash the new ROM and be patient.
My excalibur is also from South America, and worked OK. If you have any doubt just let it know to this thread.
Boa sorte!
Hi,
I`ve problems with the link of Boot loader....
Anyone can send the full URL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
I'm sorry about the links not working, here - i've attached the bootloader for you. here's what you do
1) Run bootloader (attached file)
2) Run the WM6 WWE ROM
3) Run SDA Application Unlock
4) Install Office/Microsoft Voice Command/HTC Audio Manager
5) Install Tweaks/Hacks
here's a site that has some applications and tweaks:
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
and search this forum, there's tons of information, hacks - etc.
Good Luck !
oh by the way, did you unlock your phone properly?
1) Download unlock software
2) Download .UNL file specifically for your IMEI
3) Connect phone to computer and make sure the activesync's icon has turned green
4) Run unlock software
5) When unlock software asks for .UNL file, browse for it, choose it
6) That's it ! It should say Unlocking done and it'll reboot
Your phone is now Sim & Cid Unlocked. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. just do what i said first then post.
Good Luck ! Hope to see everything working for u...

With your phone disconnected from the PC, try this:
-Open your start menu, select "settings", then go to the "connections" tab
-Select the "USB to PC" icon
-The first check box you see there will say "Enable Faster data synchronization".... you need to UNcheck that box. Hit "ok" and close out
-Try reconnecting the phone to the pc and see if it recognizes it now.
I know it sounds a little counter-intuitive to take that step, but it seems to clear this problem up for a lot of people

ok, i did that. Now i get a message that says syncro could not be completed because one or more items were in use. please close all programs and try again. I have rebooted my computer and my phone and still get this message.
I am running windows 7 64bit, AVG antivirus, and have the firewall turned off. thanks again
also when i try to run the manual hard spl, i get an error 246
Ok, i have tried soft and hard resetting my phone and tried everything again and still no change. hard SPL says cannot communicate with phone
Ok so after messing with it all day i finally was able to run the hard spl using my desktop that runs XP pro. I have downloaded 3 of the energy roms. each time i try to install one i get an trojan antivirus warning which i ignore. then it throws up a window that says i dont have the authority to access device. I also tried installing the Phoenix 2 and it will run through the setup process then tell me it is not compatible with my phone. What exactly am i doing wrong here?! Anyone know whats goin on ? Thanks for any and all help! im about to launch this thing!!! lol

have you tried installing from an SD card, that may alleviate problems.
Install the enablerapinew.cab that cmonx puts out for exactly this situation.
Install on your sd card, run the cab, then try and hardSPL again. It worked for me when I was having similar situations.
