I've been able to successfully flash the ROM to one of the WM6 editions. All appears to be working well on the TYtn. The problem is that now I cannot sync with my desktop? Is there a way to achieve this? Is Vista looking for an official copy of WM6? TIA...
no dont worry dude, how did you flash the WM6 build??
follow the final steps of one of my guides on this page as you may not have sorted the various settings on the device??
(if you used one of my guides to install can you tell me which one?)

I used your guide to install the following LVSW(2007/04/08) RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.24.0.4...From your guide, am I to assume that WMDC should not be used in Vista? I should DL and use ActiveSync 4.5?

With vista you have one choice to Upgrade thats hook the USB up in bootloader mode and kill wmdc.exe make sure you unchecked connect via usb. To resync your phone again just check connect connect via usb in wmdc and it should sync right up i have no problems with mine using vista ultimate
with vista M$ does not alet you download or install activesync anymore your forced to use wmdc they screwed us that way lol

Yes, I used the bootloader to install WM6. However, making the changes as outlined in the tutorial (unchecking advanced usb...) does not correct the problem. Still cannot sync up...

Not sure if this is part of my problem. When I try to place into bootloader mode. I get the HTC splash screen. Over top to the splash screen it says "Select KITL Transport: USB KITL or Ethernet KITL (this is highlighted)"
I cannot switch selections, sylus nor any of the controls respond...

OK, I've reinstalled WM6 as well as WMDC and still no luck. WMDC shows the connecting message and then stops with an error?

Still no luck in getting sync. I've disabled firewall and re-installed WMDC. Followed the guide to change the drivers, reinstalled WM6 and unchecked the advanced USB. When I connect the tytn to pc, a found new hardware window opens, check install HW automatically. Get a no drivers found message on PC. On the tytn screen get a pop up window stating connected to usb. Through this process WMDC says connecting and then error?
Sounds like you havent downloaded the latest version of WMDC from MS.
dude, uninstall WMDC and Activesync and start from the beginning of the vista config guide

OK, I followed your guide step by step. I did a soft reset to get out of bootloader mode and placed the tytn on the cradel. A found new hardware window opened and I select automatic install. It searched for a bit and came back with a message that "Windows could not find driver software for my device." WMDC shows error...
I'm using Outlook 2007 if that may be the cause?

If you are just trying to sync (not do an upgrade) the usb to pc connections setting should be checked for advanced

When I try to flash a new ROM using the Mirage updater, after I connect the phone to the usb cable, Mirage show me the message " PDA Device not found". I have installed all samsung modem drivers, i have no firewall or antivirus program and still does not work to flash a new ROM. This behaviour appeared after I flashed the i780_DXHC4_Rev12 ROM. If anybody had this problem, please advice me what to do next. thanks
no experts here?
no this happen. Are you using XP?
First and only time when I succeded to flash the ROM (DXHC4 version), it was on win2k3 standard..Since then, I have tried to flash the ROM on various OS ( vista, xp, win2k3, win2k8..) with the same result each time: "PDA Device not found"...
Make sure to connect the phone to the USB cable when the phone is completely OFF. (take out battery and put it back in)
with the turned out phone connected to the cable, press DETECT,
and only then power up your phone.
I know some instructions tell you to go into bootloader mode, but I found that this is enough to successfully flash my device.
Make sure you run on XP and not on Vista.
Hope this helps.
thank you for your advice..unfortunately, it does not work also..after I press Detect and turn on the phone, Mirage send me the same message: "PDA Device not found"...if you can help me with other instructions, i would appreciate

Does your device succeed in connecting to the computer using ActiveSync?
Try disabling ActiveSync USB connection or altogether.
If you only want to install the PDA part try removing the USB modem drivers,
you don't need them for PDA only.
Try a different USB port maybe, Or maybe another cable.
I'm at a loss here...
Hi on this forum too!
You need to already have an active activesync relationship with the device.
I can make file transfer and PC sync with the phone.
I tried every USB port to flash the phone. But nothing works, only 'PDA Device not found' message. I think there is no solution for this problem...

u have to load the modem driver which is for i600... i had the same issue but as soon as u load the modem driver it works fine..
and u have to take out the batt and put back the batt then hold enter and Fn button while u press the power button.. and hold till the device is booted in emergency mode... then connect your USB cable..
nothing works...
Try to update your usb drivers...
gOOndu is right you must have the correct USB driver to recognize your phone. This is not the modem driver. You can test this by disabling Active sync USB connections and plugin your phone. If it has the right driver it should state hardware found (name of your device) and then hardware installed and ready for use. If you get a hardware not recognized then the driver is not correct.
Hope this helps you.
The problem is not with the OS drivers, which recognizes my hardware device.Also, I am able to make transfers from the device to the desktop and viceversa. The problem is with the Mirrage Updater, after I press Detect and plug in the device, it can not see my pda anymore ( PDA Device not found message). The only time when I was able to flash my device ( with Mirrage) was when I upgraded to DXHC4 version. Since then, Mirrage can not find my pda anymore, altough I use the same (operating) system as when I succesfully flashed DXHC4...

Hi guys,
I am trying to flash a ROM following the steps in the first post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388067 . I tried on Windows XP, Vista, 7 without any positive results. I installed the Samsung i600 drivers, started mirage, loaded the bin file in the PDA section, pressed detect, started the device using Fn+Enter+ON key, but mirage kept saying "PDA device not found". I tried the above steps in different orders,no luck whatsoever. I have the following 2 questions:
1. booting the phone in DETECT mode means that you get the message "Emergency mode - You must push Detect BUtton of the download application befor you connect the usb port".
2. Do you have another STEP-BY-STEP guide on how to do this? Or is there another tool besides Mirage (which in my opinion is quite old)?
Thanks a million.
Which USB connection do you use? Front panel? Use one which is connected directly to the mainboard (on the back).
There is an i780 flashing guide available. I cannot find (or post) the direct link but it acknowledges this original post.
I spent several hours at the weekend trying to find a way of flashing my phone including installing virtual PC, etc, etc.
Eventually I found this to my relief and it worked for me in Win7:

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.

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...

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 tried to flash with the eXpo ROM, I followed the intructions, but it didn't work and I can't download the IQ flasher because of the death of download link.
Can you please reupload it?
Thanks

As I saw in oneof your other posts you are using a GM750. This isn't even the same phone as the eXpo or IQ. You're not going to be able to flash one of these roms to your phone. There are hardware differences and software differences that prevent this.

That means that It's impossible to flash the GM750?

It's not impossible to flash the GM750. You need a rom that was made for that phone.

When that happens it should still go into emergency download mode even though the screen might not say it. Try it again and run the update.

help with flashing
I cannot complete the flasing process im using windows 7 an cannot get pass step 7 as windows is unable to install the drivers properly. Is there a way to manual install the drivers ? The phone will go to the emergency download screen and the comp just says "driver instalation was unsuccessful ". Looking in the device manager i can see the LG USB MODEM with the ! of a failed instal. Any help would be much appreciated.

The drivers do have their own installer, you should be able to find it in one of the sub folders of c:\users\all users\lgmobileax
thx xdapants i did find the drivers but this did not fix the issue. It seems to be a connection problem with phone and comp (a common problem it would seem) do i`ve orderd and am still waiting for a new cable and hope this is the simple fix im looking for. However, if like i suspect this still does not work can i flash from memory card ? i think this was possible with the htc kaiser (best phone ever) or if not can i flash over a bluetooth connection ?

I don't believe it's possible to flash an lg phone from the memory card, at least not at this point. And as the phone needs to be in download mode, flashing over BT wouldn't be possible.
Consider trying a different USB port; ideally on the opposite side of the computer if you haven't already.
Hopefully the replacement cable will work for you. It seems to be the phone doesn't like being used as a storage device, but that shouldn't really have any bearing the download mode connection.
Im trying to flash my IQ to the latest Dragonstorm ROM and got a error with a load of Chinese characters and something about a server error. Did i miss anything? I got it to see my device and it was put into emergency download no probs. I just a bit reluctant to not wanting to brick my phone
did you extract to the correct location?
