Activesync cutting out whilst flashing wm6.1 rom

I put the applock on, i reboot, i double click the exe to run the dos thing, i allow my fone to run spl something, i click centre button, it says run the ruu ex, I do, and active sync disconnects before I can do anything else...Error 260...i can wait an hr an nothing happens. I've soft-reset, hard-reset, followed and understood and read every instruction but I just cannot get it to upgrade. The phones unlocked, the apps are unlocked. I've tried it without redoing the applock exe. I'm stuck. Any advice before I call it a day and keep my greedy wanting nature under control. All help much appreciated.

.....let us know if you still have some problems after you read the STICKY, I'll be glad to help you

I tried with two of them but I cannot stop my activesync just disconnecting right when it tells me its going to start the update, then I get the error 260...you are not connected. then no matter how long I leave it it doesn't start. ive followed all the instructions to every detail. Im now completely bog-eyed n I cant concentrate anymore, so im leavin it till the morrow. THankx very...ill be back

active-sync problem
well, ive followed every single instance from all the options available and everything goes fine until it gets to the actual updating point and then active-sync cuts off,10 seconds later i get error 260 saying im not connected. Ive left it all alone to see if it will update as the usb cable is still attached but no. I havent had this problem with any other phone update or unlock or debranding. Ive noticed on google that others have the same problem and they were told to leave it running and it will continue to update but on all the options ive left it overnight and it hasnt updated and neither has theirs. All help stops after everyone else has done what ive done, its too near xmas to drown my sorrows but, thanks for help n have a lovely xmas n new year

When you press the center button and the screen turns white do you hear the chime windows make when a USB device is disconnected?

Well, actually when you flash your activesync shut offs but your USB connection stills active, so that's normal.
Did you sda unlock your phone before you flashed?. You should do this every time you flash (well that's why I do), also make sure you remove your sd card; because these can cause error messages while you flash.
Other option can be try another PC or reinstall activesync, sometimes my laptop gets crazy and I get multiple errors when I flash, but when I use my desktop flashing goes smooth

yes I sda unlocked every time....i only have a lappy....i remove my sd card...i will uninstall n reinstall active sync.....I'll check out if any of my daughters' friends have desktops to see if I can do it that way. I shall try all that over xmas n new year n ill let you know how I get on. Many Thanx....

Ok, I forgot to mention; if you have another USB cable try it also.
Hope that helps ..Merry Christmas and happy new year

im running Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for vista as it says active-synce 4.2/4.5 only works with xp. Could this be a problem ? Is this why I'm havin trouble with flashing the roms or am I red-herring myself ?

is there no update on this situation? because i am currently attempting to flash a rom for my friends dash and i am having the same connection error problems. and she has a windows vista laptop. i am not sure if that is what the problem is. convinced its not the cord. during the update process it just disconnects once it gets to about 3 percent.

3% error solution. Also, make sure you access your PC as an administrator and disable any firewall

[Q] Defy keeps restarting after unlock the screen

hi guys,
I hope someone can help me.....
today I install some app to give extra animation and crap but after I ve done it the phone keeps restarting after I slide the srceen to unlock it.
I have done a hard reset formated the phone and cache and still the same,
I have also tried to flash it but RDS came back with " unable to retrieve info from INI file.
sim card is in but there is still "no service" on,
I ve looked through the forum but non of the posts seems to desrcibe my problem.
cheers,
p.s I forgot to add that my rom was 2.51 uk as far as I aware
regards,

hi,
the 'unable to retrieve ini file' could be because of your usb ports.
however,
if you go to recovery mode( hold vol- during startup then vol+ and vol- simultaneously when you see a little green man) you should be able to get a menu which will let you do a factory reset( clear data) which should make the phone work.
cheers

hi,
yes and I ve done it twice already and still rebboting after unlocking the screen
ane other ideas??
I ve treid to dowload rom but it wont extract and the other one saying that about ini file.
cheers,

hi again,
were you trying to install a flashlight fix zip btw before all this happened?
if so, the only option is a full flash.
try it with a different computer but i think at this moment rsdlite is the only hope.
i know because it has happened to me quite a lot.
cheers

hi,
I thinking the same, however, every rom I download doesnt work,
and now stupid question...where can I get a uk rom from??
cheers,

just check the android development section for the defy,
there are plenty of choices for a uk rom.
download one and flash it with rsdlite from a computer with usb 2.0 .
thats the cause of the ini error apparently.
good luck.

hi,
any link please??
I ve not been lazy its just I dowloaded two already and none of them work,
and now even RSD wont find the phone...just great saturday hahaha
cheers,

http://m.cfa.aero/
credit to fritolays.
go to the last link. CEE deblur< download that.
for rsdlite, keep trying, youll get there eventually.
thanks would be appreciated.
cheers

hi,
I will keep trying and if it wont help then I will have to go to t mobile and change my handset again,
Thanks a lot amansth
.....right guys please RSD saying couldnt retrieve values from INI file, I dont have access to any other PC so is thre any other way??
I ve got one txt file in the folder with firmware with this number in 09a6752e6119bb69c02d02f06a68d17e maybe that just need changing?? I dont want to mess about with it too much cos I m just a rookie
thanks,
...... Hi guys,
After a 6 hour fight I finally managed to flash my phone and it works, old RSD for some reason wouldnt support the phone so I got the new one and I could sleep much better
The only issue is that I liked 2.51, not necessarily the whole blur thing but I still think software looks much better and for example, mail box wont open, not the google one but the other that Ive added. Market place looks quite old compare to how it looked on 2.51, for eg the buttons for apps,games and apps look like big grey brick where in the other one there where nicely "implemented" into the market website.
however, I could not load 2.51 on my phone because it would stay on black screen with white LED on. I ve tried couple of times and always the same.
maybe I m doing something wrong?? what are those 2.51 boot only for?? I ve tried to put that in first then the firmware and still the same.
thanks all,

hi,
sadly, downgrade to 2.51 isnt possible because you upgraded to the froyo roms, the bootloader is newer so it is impossible to go back.
still, the froyo roms are generally better but somehow they seem laggy sometimes.
hopefully since motorola is pushing beta builds and the actual froyo release will come out around april- may you wont have to stay with the blocky icons for long.

USB Issues

ok let me start with the problem, I have a galaxy s2 and when I plug in the usb to the phone and the pc I get nothing but a charging sound. I don,t get the little pop up in the top bar that says its connected to a usb,
now with that said I know to check the debugging the usb utilities and all those setting. I even did a factory reset to no avail. I have read many post that say update the pc drivers and even have done that. I have tried different wires that I know worked at one time and also different operating systems win7, ubuntu. I do have the phone rooted and at one time it did work. it worked best with ubuntu btw no drivers needed I don't know when it stopped working I don't use it much but one day I did go to use it and nothing.
Anyway if anyone has a suggestion out there I would be glad to hear it cuz I want to put linux on my phone with adb but cant till this issues is fix thats for you time
My phone is:
standard rom 2.3.6
an kernel 2.6.35.11
Its also a SGH-T989 thats why I moved it to this part of the forum sorry if its a double post feel free to delete the other in the wrong area thank you.

had the same issue and called Samsung i told them just about everything you have going on with no luck. called t mobile and went thru there process with no luck . they determined it was a hardware failure and shipped me a new phone. if you need to go stock for warranty exchange i had to remove my sd card and transfer the "return to stock zip" and put back in phone and flash. read the directions in the return to stock thread.

yeah thats what I was thinking, might just have to swap phones with the wife she don't ever use that part of the phone. Thanks

Try to go to settings -> application -> development and activate Debug USB (I hope this is the correct path ...)

Manually download and run an RUU. Use a WWE(WorldWide Edtion) RUU setup and run it from your computer after connecting your phone via usb cable.
Get the RUU's from here (courtesy Football) -->http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Get to 2.3 atleast!

No those are official RUU's, there wont be any error in the middle provided you don't disconnect your phone in the middle of the process or the battery dies out. Make sure you've downloaded the correct RUU(WWE edition) and that the phone has enough charge. Connect the phone and start the RUU setup. Follow the on-screen instructions and the rest will be fine.
Just don't disconnect your phone during the process.
You'll lose your data(i.e. installed apps, contact information, messages and stuff). You wont lose data on your memory card though. You can always sync the contact information from you Google account afterwards and install apps from the market.
Get 2.3 atleast and start reading these forums to learn rooting and flashing new ROM's. Most of us here are already on ICS or Jellybean and I think you might enjoy it too considering you're only experience is with Froyo right now.
But as for now.. just try to install the RUU for 2.3

[Q] Xperia S USB problems

Hi everybody.
Im writing this post because im having several problems with my cellie that seems be related with its USB port.
First at all, i try to connect it to the PC, but it only detect it like a battery charger, then i cant connect it to flashtools to reflash it or whatever...
Later, i showed in the installed rom at that moment that the batteri log show it like charging everytime, so I suposed that the problem could be with the rom, then I reflashed it with other rom by CWM, and showing that it doesn't solve it I tryed to restore a stock backup by CWM too.
It doesnt solve it too...
So now, im having an impasse with this problem & i want to solve it.
In addition i can say that this problem is causing a fast discharge of battery everytime (i supose it happens because the cellie detect that it stills charging so it could be derivated of this previous problem.
Can anyone help me with this problem??
Im thinking to sent it to the hot service, but because i cant access to it with flashtools i dont know how can i reblock the bootloader for doing use of guarantee.
Can anyone help me to reblock it by CWM or something similar?
thank you very much for your time reading this report
and sorry about my english
