Hi, help please...
I have Wizard G3 with TNT 5 Touch Flow and tried to update radio T-mobile UK 2.19 Radio Only. update went OK but now on loading I see HTC boot screen then it moves to TNT 5.0 screen and then fades in two minutes and starts back with HTC boot screen. It then circulates like that for ever without passing to the Today screen. On connection with PC for new update with any rom it shows: Error (260) update error. What can be done?

it's a case of bad flash,did anything during flash happened like lose usb connectivity,pc crashed,battery discharged or something like unusual ?
Try to soft reset and see if it works,otherwise you'll have to reflash to official carrier's rom in boodloader mode,
1. Disconnect your phone from the usb cable,shut down any firewall,disable any Anti virus,Reboot your PC.
2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File >Connection Settings >Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”
3. On your PC Open windows Task Manager...>Tab Processes...>wescomm.exe...>End process
4. Power off the phone completely (Not stand-by,shut off completely),or you may take the battery out for few seconds
5. Make sure your phone is not Connected to the PC via USB cable and remove the dummy Sdcard or mini-Sd card
6. Get your phone into Bootloader mode (Multicolor screen) by pressing camera button + Power on button
7. Reconnect your phone to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Be sure that your battery is charged over 70%)
8. "USB"will appear on the bottom of the screen of the Bootloader (Multicolor screen)
9. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.
10.Never use Bluetooth sync for the Upgrade
While upgrading, the ActiveSync program will not go on, however the upgrade is running.Please be patient when you're flashing your device, even if 98%. It can wait a little bit, 5 ~ 7 minutes.
Don't cancell the flash or get the phone off the usb cable till it confirms "Congratulations" or stops with an Error!!!
Hope it'll work, Good luck
Hi, this is the first time i saw a Paki guy on this web. I know there is alot of talent in IT profession in Pakistan. Anyway its good to see u here and i got a relief that with the help of a senior member like you i can get my phone work again.
To cut the chase, I have X01HT by Softbank Japan. It is Herms200 by HTC Japanese WM5 ROM. I have installed Asukal's English MUI and it was working fine for me. Now i'm planning to visit Pakistan this month so i though to unlock the sim and i used Prof v3a to unlock. I've successfully unlocked the sim and i guess CID also. When i use some other carrier's sim, i can receive the calls but cant make the calls out coz Softbank rom has a security which comes at screen and ask for password and dont let me do anything on the PDA. After studying alot on this forum i figured that i need to change the rom to get rid of that password message. i used the Olipro's Hard SPL and got bootloader 2.10 Olipro. I checked the other necessary stuff and when satisfied i started rom update. I end up with the same message of Error 260. Now my phone has no OS and it starts at bootloader. i tried everything possible like i make sure to remove all firewalls on my PC, used all the versions of Activesync and everything possible that i could. I trust that there is nothing wrong with the ROM etc but it is with connection.
Now if i update to the original ROM, i'm afraid that it will also upgrade my Bootloader and could never be able to flash english rom. I'm really depressed for the last three days and loosing sleep as well. I trust that you or any other senior member can help me with this.
Thanks in advance and looking forward anxiously.
Farrukh, wrong forum.
You know you have a Hermes, then you should know to post your questions in Hermes related forum, not wizard.
denflorida:
Try to update other Radio-only ROMs in xda's FTP server.
Sorry Brother, i know i have herms but i couldn't find some related topic in herms and i figured that Activesync problem is the same in all devices.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply. I'll try to find some from Herms.
Thanks
8125 rom update
i have tried to do a rom update on my 8125 g4. i recently purchased it off ebay and i have two problems. the reason i want to update it is because when i try to enable the wifi my device freezes. the other problem is that i can not seem to get the phone into boot loader mode. i have tried :
-turning the phone off and holding the camera button as i turn it on.
-holding the camera button and pluging it in to a usb port.
- using wizard service tool to enter boot loader mode.
after each of these different attempts i had to either remove the battery for 3 secs or hold the reset button for a few seconds before i can turn it back on. the phone still turns and just i can not use the wifi
Yes!!! Thank you! your instructions worked for me and got me past the Error [260] with my 8125 .

Hello all,
Yesterday I tried to update my MDA Compact to qtek 1.06 and I saw to executables in the package:
getdevice.exe and enterbl.exe
I runned getdevice.exe for getting the device data for in the change.bat. That went oke, but out of curiosity I had to run the enterbl.exe, which made me go to the boot loader immediately. And now I'm stuck at the boot loader!
Whatever I do it won't boot to WME anymore! Soft reset, pressing the camera+power+reset, everytime it goes to the "Serial V1.00"screen.
When I remove and put back the backcover of the device (where the battery and sim are) it will go off and after a press on the power button it will boot to WME. But when I manually reset the device or when it automaticaaly reset itself after installing the ExROM tools, it goes back to the boot loader (Serial - V1.00) screen!
I even dumped the ROM with mmty to the SD card and flashed the device with that ROM again, but after it says Checksum is OK and I press reset it just goes straight to bootloader again.
I'm really out of clues of what to do. Can someone please help?
EDIT: When removing and putting back the backcover I can reset the device and it will boot back to WME so I can use it. But still when I softreset (with button or through software) it goes to boot loader. :-(
So using the backcover as a reset button is possible and does work, but it isn't very handy/usefull off course.
TIA

Check the forum, the answer is there
Yes, you are still in bootloader mode and it's actually getting ready for you to flash.
Donno which part of it goes wrong, mine also have the same issue. What you need to do now is to restart your desktop pc / laptop (from the info I gathered from the forum). Then run that update thing again. This time, the same screen will appear saying it's trying to get the device data. Difference is, this time you no longer see the current version of ROM (as the Magician is in bootloader mode now). And you will see it show you the ROM that you going to upgrade to. Just follow the instruction, everything is straight forward. Hope this help.
cheers..
Thanks man!
You're the man cyberjaya!
It is working now, here is what I did (as told by cyberjaya):
- Rebooted my laptop
- Connected the MDA to the laptop
- Started the upgrade program of the qtek 1.06 ROM
- It didn't found my version, but it would let me update it to 1.06
- Flashing....(15 minutes is a LOOOONG time if you have to wait )
I did reset it a few times and it just boots normally!
Thank you ver much cyberjaya!
Regards,
Aurora13
No problemo
Am using laptop to flash also. Likely it's the USB hub thing (which listed in the "hardware devices" list). Read it somewhere, it's not recommended to flash using USB hub. Enjoy your new ROM!! .
cheers
I had a thought:
Isn't this the way to do a ROM upgrade without editing the ROM files?
Because it can't detect a different ROM and it will do the upgrade...
Or am I missing something?
OK
I've always had troubles flashing radios for some reason, I've managed to just not do it but now with Duttys 6.1 out I really need some help
- I've flashed Duttys latest successfully
- I've flashed HardSPL
- But whenever I flash the radio (1.64.08.21) I get a connection error at 99%!!
Now I can still get into the phone using mtty and the boot command.
Am I doing something stupid -- Any help gratefully received!
Alex
ps - I have a UK o2 XDA Stellar
I'm a newbie been here with a AT&T Tilt less than a week and I promise I'm reading, but I'm having the exact same problem. Flashed Duttys dual V4 as my first try last Tuesday without a problem and of course be a crazy new guy I wanted his newest work. So I flashed Duttys 6.1 today and I guess I just can't figure out how to flash radios, because I've tried 2 now and both error out at 99% and I too have to use mtty to get back into the phone. I'll keep reading, but if someone could tell us new guys what the heck we are doing wrong that would be great.
PS I'm glad to be here and this looks like a lot on fun thanks for having me and look forward to helping out someday.

Hey Alex! I figured it out Brother! Do this and you should be able to upgrade your radio. I was using JumpSPL1.56-KAIS run from my device and I was running into the same problem everytime I tried to upgrade my radio. Would get to 99% and then would error out. So I followed these steps taken from a number of different post and put together until it worked!
1) Make sure you have JumpSPL1.56-KAIS somewhere on your device the file for me is in "my docs" on my Tilt.
2) Run kaiser-HardSPL from your PC with your device hooked up via usb with the green act sync icon. Once you get to the white screen of death on you device, stop unplug you device and soft boot it via your stylus and the reset button. Leave your pc alone right where it stopped in the kaiser-hardspl screen. "should be to the point where it says unplug and replug in your usb you should have the tri color screen press enter to proceed"
3) Now set your connection settings in active sync to not allow usb connections.
4) Now plug you device by in via usb and run Jumpspl1.56-kais on your device. When it has the tri color screen and says usb, unplug usb and plug back in.
5) Now back in the kaiser-hardspl window, continue on with the on screen directions. This should now install hardspl just like the rom or roms that you might have already installed and will say finished.
6) The device should reboot.
7) close the kaiser-hardspl window and let you device fully reboot.
8) Once it is fully rebooted follow these directions: Perform a soft reset, when the screen goes blank hold the camera button until a multi colored screen comes up
9)Now run your radio update and it should go through without erroring out at 99%. It will stay at 99% for a bit then jump to 100% success!
My Tilt is working great now with sound and everything. Have not tested anything else yet, came right here and started to let you know what I did to get radio installed.
So now I'm running Duttys WM6.1 newest release with radio 1.64.06.
Call me crazy and sure I know I might have taken more steps than I needed to, but I got it working.
Hope this helps you.
Take care,
JMan
First, are you using a 6.0 rom or a 6.1 rom? If you are using a 6.0 rom you cannot flash any of the 6.1 radios and vice versa. Also, if you have hardspl installed, why would you need to use jumpspl. I have never used jumpspl and I promise I have flashed 50+ times counting, roms, radios and splash screens.
I believe that was my problem, I was never able to get Hard-spl installed and I was using jumpspl to install the 2 roms that I have installed since I got my tilt a week ago. The method I used above allowed me to get hard-spl installed and then I was able to install the radio rom. I am using Duttys WM6.1 rom.
JMan I want your babies!!!
Ok I had actually done everything upto the final step (holding the camera button after a soft reset) but that made it possible to flash the radio just as you described.
So many thanks for sharing your solution!!

You need to use MTTY to get things going for you again, here is the thread to get mtty:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371154&highlight=mtty
Search around and see if you can find the step by step to use it, might even be a how to text file in the zip file not sure. This should get you back on your way.
Can someone locate the step by step to use mtty for this man and put it in this post?
Have a good one,

Hi everybody,
i got a XDA Orbit 2 and today i tried to install SPB Phone Suite.
During install it asked for a Softreset, which i did...
After that i refused to boot and keeps hanging at the o2 Bootscreen.
It totally freezes, regardless if i pull any cable, remove the sd-card etc..
So i thought i'd a hardreset once again, but that one didnt work at all.
The Restore lasts maybe 10 secs (with and without sc-card), then asks for another boot and im again where i startet, the o2 bootscreen.
Any chance i get it working again?
Like somebody else recommended flashing it with either another rom or the original one, which i might d/l somewhere.
Then again, any Flash-HowTo starts with an ActiveSync Connection.
Since my Device wont boot at all, the ActiveSync Connection wont be established...
Any helpful Advise highly appreciated :-/
regards...
You should be able to manually put it into the boot loader. I'm not familiar with you phone so you will need to research that.
***Update**** Try this; "turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366303
hrm, pressing the upper left/right buttons and reseting it doesnt do anything.
regarding google im the first human ever trying to get the htc touch cruise into bootloader mode.
i keep researching, thx for ur effort tho
Manually getting into the boot loader will allow to establish a link to your PC in order to re-flash. Like I said, I'm not familiar with your phone....
yup, i noticed some more users here own an Orbit2.
So i hope somebody is able to enlighten me, before i brake my fingers while trying to press all buttons same time and then somehow hit the reset button, hehe.
ok, i managed to get into bootloader.
some more detailed research helped me there, actually inside this board :-/
now lets see if HardSPL makes me happy.
tx again for ur time
I have an Orbit 2,
To Hard reset and delete everything from your phone and then let the rom reload everything back to factory settings, do the following.
1. Remove SD card
2. Hold down the 'Windows Icon' Button and the 'OK' button at the same time and keep them held in.
3. While still holding in the above 2 buttons, use the stylus and press the reset button in and then release it but you must still keep the 'Windows' button and the 'OK' button still in until you are prompted with a menu.
4. Once the menu appears: press 'Send' button to reset and reload rom or any other button to cancel.
I have done this procedure a few times now and is quite safe, especially after loading a crap piece of software that totally knackers up my Orbit 2.
I hope this helps you out........
Good luck
Tried that before and it worked out before also.
This Time the complete recover-process lasts only 10 seconds and then the Boot doesnt work anymore either.
Dunno why the hardreset aint working anymore.
Regarding the Flashing:
I managed to get into Bootloader and see the following Information:
POLA200
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
Serial.
Then i plug in the USB-Cable and start the Update-Utility.
After following each step i get the following error:
Error 262: Update Error
Saying it has encountered communication Errors and asks me if i want to recover...
Im running VistaSP1, maybe thats a reason?
Try this for your Vista issue. It worked for me the first time. Although I don't know if SP1 has any effect.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27 This was for Hermes also....
Updating the USB-Driver didnt help .
Using a XP VirtualPC didnt work out either, hehe.
Ill try tomorrow on a XP Machine, thanks for ur time once more.
Im not that desperate anymore, hehe.
Damn, now im using a Windows XP Machine (incl. all Updates) with ActiveSync 4.5, and still get the [262] Update Error.
Seems its seriously damaged :-(
One Question:
Did you installl phone-suite on a cooked rom, or on the original o2 rom?
i got the same freezing problem on my touch with a cooked rom. with the original rom i got no problems.

HTC Touch Cruise ROM on O2 Orbit 2
Hi,
Sorry for posting on this thread which might be the wrong place but hope someone ccan help.
Can I install an HTC Cruise ROM (WM 6.1 from HTC website) on my Orbit 2 ?
I have a Kaiser which I updated a while ago with WM6.1 official Belgian dutch. Since it became way to slow, I wanted to hard reset the device. Since a couple of hours, it has been stuck on the green WM screen saying The device is erasing the memory, Please wait...
I have been looking through the forum, but have not found the same issue.
It does not come up in acctive sync, so a normal relaod is not possible. Any ideas?

manually go into bootloader if you want to reflash the rom, if phone is powered on hold camera button in and the softreset button at the same time! it sounds like you possibly have had a bad flash, OR you had a bad download!!!
Not possible to flash anything
what I've tried so far:
- activate active sync to install hardSPL. Not working
- install HardSPL through microSD. Not working
- install ROM through SD. Not working
I tried a non HCSD for a change, and then I see the loading scree flashing up, but quickly says No rom found and returns to the bootloader screen.
The only thing that works is load the bootloader (red green blue white) into a screen that says:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
Serial
When connected to USB, it says USB, but no disk is showing in Explorer or any connection is made to AS
The only thing I've done in the past is flash the 6.1 rom through the system provided by HTC with a file called RUU_Kaiser_HTC_NLD_3.29.404.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
Please help, I really like this phone and hate to loose it
put it into bootloader, connect it to the computer and then flash one of the htc roms. make sure its an htc rom, you cant flash a custom rom cause you dont have hardspl
I have not been able to find the original rom, only the exe from htc which says Connect with active sync. Do I have to set it in bootloader and then execute the program?
Solved
Just want to let you know I sorted it out!
Flashing the original rom does not need active sync, the bootloader USB connection is sufficient.
After this, the phone restarted in 'Erasing memory' mode, but was able to finish it and reinstall the whole rom.
I believe I got the taste of it and will start testing some other roms...

Hey guys, I tried unlocking my phone but I think I ruined everything LOL.
Basically now, the phone only boots to the AT&T screen and restarts, over and over. Only turns on if connected to USB.
I followed the Kaiser Sim unlocker instructions all the way till like the 8th step and this happened. I installed the HARDSPL OLIPROF, it shows it on the tri color screen.
I can still bring it to the tri color screen, but when I connect it to computer it doesn’t show the active sync green screen (stays gray). I ran the sim unlocker again, it went to 100% complete, but phone still doesn’t turn on.
When I try to do a hard reset it stays click send, when I click send, nothing happens. I don’t know what to do. Did I permanently ruin the phone? I’ve searched Google for the past 3-4 days still can’t find an answer so I decided to post here for some help. Anything will be helpful thank you.
Your phone is fine. This part of the FAQ applies, I believe:
"*Put your phone into Bootloader and update to a 6.1 Rom first if you get a black screen after Flashing the Patched Radio*"
I had the same problem. Flash a generic 6.1 ROM such as _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship, then repeat the unlocking procedure. Instead of a blank screen, you'll see the correct prompts on your phone to complete the unlock.
thx 4 the info. i was gettin ready to try to unlock my tilt.

I downloaded that rom. It completed. The phone is still in the same condition. Wont even turn on unless its pluged to usb and when its plugged in usb it wont pass the AT&T screen(restarts over and over). Did i install an incorrect rom?
Also, theres no sim card or sd card in it. Does that matter for now?
Sorry for posting 3 times. But the second the rom completes, the phone automatically restarts, so I don’t have a chance to do anything. And active sync doesn’t detect it
Try flashing through SD card. Check Wiki for more details on how!
Also take battery off, wait 10 secs, and put if back on. Make sure the batter is charged as well.
you should have askdd in that thread as your question doesnt warrant the starting of a new thread. go back and ask there and good luck
