Error [260] Connection

So I am trying to play with my new tilt for the first time, and after lots of reading I began to try. I am starting with POF's Hard Spl package, and I am stuck with that. I followed all of the instructions precisely, but when I get to the RUU screen, it says to connect PDA phone to the USB cable, and establish an Active Sync connection. Well it won't establish an ActiveSync connection now...and if I just check the box, I get the ERROR [260] Connection message, and it says to hit esc to finish. Then the phone is just stuck on the tricolor screen, and only thing I can do is reset.
So....now what? I have tried to google and xda search this problem, I saw one person with the same problem, but then posted back a little while later saying he resolved the issue, but didn't say how...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Yes. Use another computer.. or disable your firewall or de-activate your AntiVirus program. You have some sort of conflict in the drivers. It happened to me and the only it worked for me is when I switched to another PC to do the upload.

I will have to try it out on my laptop when I get up...but I have no firewall enabled, and no anti-virus running. But if this is a driver issue, then I don't see how those 2 things would come into play?

So, switching to my laptop worked, thank you for that. I have sucessfully installed Dutty's v3 rom, but now it seems my battery depletion is on a downward spiral. It has gone down 10% in less than 10 mins, and it is just sitting on the table, nothing running.
Any ideas on that?
Also is there anything else after the rom install that I should add/do? I
have seen a few different posts about radios...not sure will keep looking lol...
Thanks again,
Michael

I had the Error [260] Connection issue at some point in the beginning of flash process.
Changing to a different usb-port in my laptop solved it to me.

Mda compact with serial v1.02 screen

Hi everyone.
After much searching I seem to have got nowhere. Can someone please help.
My mda compact 2 starting playing up yesterday, rebooting on its own, so I tried to install the upgrade from tmobile (ruu charmer). The upgrader stopped and my mda now has a screen that only either says serial v1.02 or usb v1.02.
I've tried rebooting it several times in several different ways without any joy, the screen just remains the same. I tried connecting to my laptop via active sync, but its like it doesn't exist anymore!
I'm about to give up after hours of trying to fix it, so any assistance in very simple terms would be much appreciated!

problem solved
Seems like my problem must have been too basic or too common for anyone to bother to help, so I did some searching myself throughout this site and elsewhere.
However, what I found was thoroughly misleading and unhelpful.
The error messages are also inaccurate and totally misleading. Error 274 might mean pc can't connect to pda, but it also means other things, like your using the wrong upgrade firmware!!. Having serial v1.02 or usb v1.02 on your screen does not mean its a grey and black brick(useless), its simply the upgrade mode screen.
Basically, I made an error in choosing my upgrade. I chose the wrong firmware package from t-mobile thinking what I had was a mdacompact 2, when it actually was just a mda compact. This error was the main issue, yet from this forum I had the idea it could have been a number of things.
One important thing to remember is adhering to all the instructions regarding the installation of the new rom.
Don't bother unless you do the following:
1) Make sure you have a good connection via cradle or usb lead when doing the download.
2) Make sure you close all unnecessary programs on your pc.
3) Dont touch either your pc or the mda during installation.
4) Don't give up after you read misleading rubbish on the web.
5) Make sure you download from the web the correct upgrade firmware!!(very important in my case!)
6) Active sync is not totally necessary during the process.(I turned off usb connection in its setting during my installation).

Hey
I have the same Problem
i tried updating the software on the phone but now i get that screen..
Im still stuck on what exctly to do, I've been googling it for hours!! HELP!!!

cingular 8125 help

i have a cingular 8125 running on TNT.19199 Series V.2 wm6.1 proffesional edition. i can not connect to my computer through activesync. ive tried to find an answer to my problem in different threads and forums but i cant. now i want to change my rom but i cannot connect through activesync. does anyone have any suggestions. im a newbie at this. Also how do you hard reset. which buttons do you let go of first and do you hard reset when the phone is on or off. i need help asap please. Thank you in advance

now, this seems like a kinda arrogant answer...but have ya tried taking the battery out, then puttin it back in and trying again? And have yah also tried to initiate a sync from the phone? By that I mean by going to programs and hitting the Activesync icon?

yes ive tried both of those things

how about using a different USB port, or re-installing Activesync?

i did that to

well damn, I dunno what to tell ya then.....what about restarting your computer?

yup did that 2

You can use the miniSD card to flash the rom if your 8125 can't connect to your computer.

I had this problem twice awhile back. I had to downgrade to activesync 4.2(still on microsofts website). After I got it to sync I reinstalled activesync 4.5 and everything worked. I wish I new what causes it but this should help. It's not TNT's ROM, it's a great ROM, it's the ROM I always flash back to after I am disappointed with the try the newest release.

Help!!! ATT tilt with windows mobile 6.5

I bought an att tilt with windows 6.5 and pc.ultimate v18 rom 2/15/09.
My phone will only partially connect to my laptop. i.e. activesync shows connected but will not sync. Also, Device manager only shows a generic mobile device not "att tilt" or "kaiser" I would like to get my contacts, calendar and tasks on my phone. Any suggestions?

I dont have a tilt.. but you might want to try flashing a more stable rom on to it? It sounds like it might be a rom issue. If not i suggest re-installing active sync and go to active sync on your phone and delete any profiles that it has on there.

Help Att tilt
Thanks for responding...
How do I flash a new rom to it? My computer doesn't appear to recognize it. I get the following error message when I connect, "critical communication serviceshave failed to start. Try resetting mobile device and then connect again." I have done soft resets and hard resets with no luck. I am wondering if I am missing a speciific driver for the phone that will resolve this.
Firgo

try a different computer. cid unlock your phone then hard spl then flash.

Well spose the best thing is to get you to the right part of XDA.
Kaiser ROM Development http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
Try this first with Total Commander go to Windows and find USBtoPC.exe launch it and untick advanced network
Also may be worth uinstalling active sync/WMDC and reinstalling restarting computer.
You must be hard-spl'd so can get the phone into bootloader and try and flash another ROM.
Good luck.

Computer doesn't recognize the phone

Hi everybody
I have an HTC Fuze (ATT). The ROM I used was NATF v5. series. I tried a couple of days ago to sync it with my computer but it gave me an "USB device not recognized" message. I did a hard reset but it didn't change anything. I changed the "Energy" rom, but I had the same problem. I tried now to sync the phone with another laptop but I have the same message, so something happened with the phone. What I noticed was the fact that actually when I hard reseted, I still had the NATF 5.series screen shot, even if the rom was the energy one. I appreciate each answer as I don't know what I can do more.

Had you try other cables Sir?
NATF splash screen will remain there, because when you flash Energy ROM, it didn't contain splash screen, so it wouldn't be replaced.

I tried a different cable, as well as a different computer. On the new computer there was no previous activesync installed. This led me to belive that there is a problem in the registry somewhere, but I don't know what to change. I also installed the Activesync 4.5 several times. on the ald and new computer, but nothing helps. No firewall active.

<- same problem

Anybody has any ideas?

What about using other phones, if it's okay then the problem was on Your phone, vice versa.
In my opinion, to get phone connected, we must have Activesync (for Win XP) or WMDC (for Vista) installed, good cable (original preferred) and good phone condition (H/W or S/W)
Hope You solve it soon Sir.

I have reinstalled the ATT rom, but is still gives me a "USB device not recognized" message. So I think something is wrong with my phone. Is there any way where I can clean up the whole registry and start from a clean fresh phone?

Still not working.

I had a simmilar problem a long time back.... How I fixed it was I deleted that connection setting for that phone in activesync... Then rebooted...Try to connect it then... If it still doesn;t work, UNINSTALL activesync... reboot... reboot again for good measure.. then reinstall it... reboot... Then try to connect again.... a lot of steps, but it worked for me when I put a diffrent on an old phone I had...

OK, some updates. I tried syncing with another laptop and it is not working. I tried doing the same thing with an Apple comp and it doesn't even see it as an usb device. However I tried syncing wifi with my gmail account and it is giving me the following error message: "The configuration on your Exchange server prevents you from synchronizing. Support code: 0x85010004". So I think there is a setting I don't know how to change.
