Hey guys, I am trying to flash Dutty's newest rom, but im having some trouble...
When I double click the RUU.exe file, I put a check in the checkbox, hit continue. then put another check, hit continue, then I get an error saying:
"Error [200]: Invalid update tool"
"Please get newer update utility"
This is odd because I read on the Wikki that you get this error if you don't have HardSPL, but I do. In fact, I have flashed at least 4 or 5 different roms on this phone. Another thing is that my phone isnt in activesync mode, and for some reason when I try to install activesync (directly from microsoft's website and from the CD that came with my tilt) I get an error saying that it wont install... And another weird thing is that this never stopped it before, I have flashed a rom without it being in activesync with the computer...
When I tried to install Microsoft's activesync directly from their website, I double click the setup.msi file, and then it says :
"preparing installation..."
"The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard"
And this happens every time I try it... I have tried redownloading the file and I get the same issue... I even checked to see if maybe I downloaded the wrong version (like the vista version or something) but I downloaded the correct one.
Now, when I try to install activesync from the CD that came with my Tilt, I get an error saying that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player, So i click on the link that it gives me, and I updated it. Even though it is currently up to date, I STILL get this error every time I try, even after restarting my computer.
Any ideas?
put the phone in bootloader and tell me exactly what it says there.

I can't help with the active sync problem (you don't have vista, do you?) but as for flashing...flash from the sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158

OK, with the phone powered on, press and hold the camera button and insert the stylus in the reset hole until the tri-colored screen comes up. This is bootloader. Tell me what it says there, exactly.

After you put your phone in bootloader mode as P1 said, you will see something like this:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
Once you make a record of what is displayed, reply back with it.
ok, this is what it says (in the top red box):
KAIS1* MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Then in the white box it says: "Serial"

Since you already have it in the boot loader just keep it there and try to flash it, see if you get any errors that way.
What version of Windows is on your computer?
If your running vista you need the mobile device center, not activesync.
Im using windows XP, I will try flashing while it is in bootloader, I edit my post once I see if it is successful or not.
**It did not work when I tried flashing from the bootloader screen, I got the same error
which rom are you flashing your device with?
I am trying to flash Dutty's newest ROM, and right now Dutty's 3rd or 4th newest one is on my phone.
after you put your device in bootloader, and connected it to the pc, did the word "serial" change to "usb"? and were drivers loaded for the device? there should be a htc usb sync or microsoft usb sync in your device manager

You use google or XDA search via google. Try ROM flashing with Vista, etc...
Remember, there is a lot of valid data in Hermes forum as well
jjb, I had the same problem the other night on my home computer with XP. Luckily, I did not have the same problem with my work computer, also with xp. Something happended on the home computer to fcuk up the drivers (i'm guessing, as GSLEON pointed out). I had the same install issues with Activestinc. I had these issues in the past (at least 6 months ago) and was able to finally get Activestinc installed after rebooting multiple times. This time I only tried once before I waited to go back to the office and flash. I'm not sure what to do to rebuild(?) the drivers, but you might try a different computer. Also, my google search (for the 200 error) the other night pulled up a different web site that listed a lot of error codes and what they mean. I'm gonna try and figure out my driver issues with activstinc this weekend and I will post if successful.

Thanks for the input... im going to try re-installing windows when I get the chance and hopefully that will clear up this driver issue.
rather than going through all the trouble trying to solve this problem, i would just flash using the microsd card

but i got an other error now. if i run hardspl, i everything seems to run find. but its still the old 2.15 hard spl on the prophet even if its supposed to be a 2.20.

i have read the WIKI section about 5 time and i did everything correctly but when everytime i run the ruu but i keep getting this ? ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION
? This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure
you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU.
but on my active sync screen the circle is green and i can sync everything else so i dont understand why it keep saying connection error

Try using a different USB port

Frustrating
I know you Senior Members have dealt with a lot of stuff that turns out to be user error, but as a 20 year IT professional, and someone who has flashed many ROM's, I am sure that I have followed all the instructions, my hardware is fine and connected properly. Is it possible that something has been changed on the newer phones that has not been seen and is not accounted for by the tools and methods that have been developed to date?
Have you tried manualy putting your device into the bootloader then running the RUU? You may also try reboot the PC and then the device and try it again.

If you're running Vista, run as admin.
I got that error before I ran as admin.

you could also flash with a microsd card. thats always how i flash so that i know that i don't screw anything up. now i'm not saying that it is foolproof, but IMO i think it is safer than flashing via PC.

With Vista and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, I don't bother with connection settings, I just right click the RUU, and either "run as admin" or to be totally sure, right click the RUU>properties>compatability>check the "run this program as admin" box near the bottom.
Never have had issues when I run as admin, and have flashed a more than a "few" ROM's.

Are you using the zip program built into windows? If so, STOP! You need to use Winzip or Winrar. Windows will corrupt the files!

I flash with Vista and never used admin mode at all. I just put the phone in bootloader mode and uncheck usb connection. Works just fine, when you run it in admin mode your not putting the phone in bootloader mode are you? Just curious.

*You put your phone in bootloader mode (3 color screen)
*Connected the USB cable and it said USB on the bottom of the screen
*Unpacked the rar file so that it is just a folder on the file system
* In the directory there should be 2 files a Kaiser_RUU.exe and the .nbh file
* Run Kaiser_RUU.exe what happens?

Im surprised I haven't seen anyone mention HardSPL.
Is HardSPL on your phone?
Just wondering since I see multiple people suggesting the SD Card method.

Guess we all assumed since he said he read the wiki 5 times and is saying he is getting connection errors. Normally when guys flash with no hardspl the flash goes thru then after reboot they are back the rom before the flash.

Make sure your phone is not connected before you enter bootloader. It should say serial at the bottom of the screen.
Now plug in your phone and serial should change to USB. Now run Kaiser_RUU.exe
I'm normally good with stuff like this ^_^
Not today though
I promise, I followed the instructions to the letter, trying to install WM 6.5 on my phone (S710). I did the USPL thing first, then basically did the exact same thing with the files I got from the WM6.5 "Official v1.0" thread. Is that the right version of WM 6.5?? I'm a bit lost. So I feel like I did the USPL stage twice.
Now here's where things get weird.
When I get to the RUU stage, ready to install - activesync stops recognizing the phone. Says it's not connected. The RUU however sees the phone, but shows blank for the current installation. I press 'update' and both the phone and the RUU go to 100% in about 2 seconds (so obviously it's not doing much).
I reboot the phone and it's like nothing ever happened. Back to my crappy version of windows (infested with my stinky network's own software).
Have I given enough info? What am I doing wrong? Should I start again from the beginning? If so which files should I have and like I said :'( what am I doing wrong?
Epic love and hugs to anybody that can help

i've had a problem similar with this. make sure the uspl is done properly. and you must run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe first. then uspl: uspl_116_jockyw.bat, after all done, phone will have black screen, run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from uspl folder. (the tutorial is in the archive of uspl). aftel all that install new rom. i have wm6.5 official v1.0 too, work fine.
oh, you may try to start flashing from bootloader(turn off phone, keep the camera button pushed, and insert usb cable)

MS has added "exchanced ...." checkbox in USB to PC connection - just disable it (uncheck).
when checked - works only with synce on linux but not with activesync on XP

So let me start by saying I have been researching these forums for the last 8 hours trying to following instructions on getting my phone to connect to my computer and with no luck, hoping someone out there can please help me step by step in correcting my problem.
1)I flashed DC's Rom, then flashed the most current radio, then flashed the most current Wimax.
2)I noticed that when I connect my phone to the computer, it says device is not recognizable. The phone charges but does cannot be seen by the computer as a disk drive (I'm trying to RUU to stock but the comp. will not see my phone and I've already tried running RUU but it also is having probs seeing the phone).
3)I've read Calculin's instructions in fixing the SD Card and USB as close as possible but also no luck. I've downloaded Android-SDK Tools and ran CMD with the Instructions saying type in "fastboot oem boot", from there, thats where I get stuck, it just says "waiting on device". Not sure where I go from there, I'm in Reboot mode where it has Fastboot on my evo screen.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm just so frustrated and I'm trying to get back to square one.
Unplug your phone and restart it, then plug it back in. I had to do this 3 times before it started working again. Other than that, you might just need to download the new drivers.
And you posted in the wrong section.
Sorry about posting in the wrong section, what drivers should I install, are you talking about the new HTC Sync Files or something else? Can you point in the direction to get these files?
okay, I think I'm getting close, I have a box thats popping up now thats trying to located the Device Driver the phone. It says "Failed" next to the line "MY HTC" Where can I download the necessary drivers for this phone?

You should be able to get the proper drivers from either Sprint or HTC's web site. There are links on both sites. Also, when you install / reinstall the sync drivers make sure anti-virus is disabled. If the situation continues and you've tried everything else other folks suggested look at program permissions in your anti-virus program. I was having something similar and CA anti-virus was not letting the program start-up. I had to toggle it to "allow".
Good Luck.
Hello,
I was reading a thread on someone who had the exact same issue, but no solution was ever posted.
Here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458066
Background - this is a friends HTC Inspire, no rooting or anything was attempted, factory untouched phone bought new from AT&T.

I tried formatting the sd card and using recovery and stock rom to load, nothing worked, as if not recognized. The sd card had data on it(which was accessible), which I transfered to the computer before formatting.
Any ideas? I have never used an android device but I've been reading through this forum and others for hours now... phone is outside of warranty now too, so that's no longer an option. Thanks in advance.

It failed during the update to the current rom version or was reset/lost power during update. Use a pc to download the most recent ruu update for the inspire from HTC. Then download and install htc sync on pc. Place phone into fastboot mode with sd card inserted and then plug into pc. Run ruu from pc. Data will be lost but phone will be usable.

So Gizmoe, I am in the same boat as original poster. I downloaded the correct ruu from HTC , but PC won't recognize phone. Point of clarification
When you say "place phone into fast boot mode" does that mean just connect to PC at that point or do I shut phone down and then connect. I've been going bonkers since ATT pushed software update and bricked the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

It means with phone powered off hold down volume up and press power. Continue to hold volume until you see the hboot screen. Then select fastboot ( vol + - to make choice power to select). Then plug into pc. You should see the words fastboot usb on phone.

Ok, we'll I got it into fast boot USB mode, plugged in USB to PC, ran exe ruu file (which takes forever btw) and then got connection error. Ruu application then exits. Must be something hosed up in the phone with drivers. Bummer
I just checked Windows devices and it is showing as a "Device failed enumeration" error. Trying to troubleshoot that but have my doubts right now. I did notice that when I connected it earlier today PC saw it as G drive for a split second and then it dropped.

Do you have HTC sync installed and running?
Hi Gizmoe. Well I have HTC Sync but I didn't think I needed to have that running. I just ran the ruu exe file, but got connection error. I just tried HTC Sync with phone in fastboot usb mode but HTC Sync can't see it. Version of HTC Sync is 3.3.63. The other thing I noticed is that if phone is off and plugged into PC it is recognized as a removable device with a G: drive letter in device manager, but doesn't show up in file explorer and running exe or HTC Sync still can't see it.
If it's connected when it's in fastboot usb mode then windows says "last device connected malfunctioned " and PC doesn't see it.
I'm in this catch 22. Tried to do recovery process to install a ruu off sdcard which errors out, and can't install ruu from pc since phone usb connection not recognized.

UPDATE: I decided to just try the recovery method again while the phone was plugged into USB cable just to charge it. Well it downloaded the latest HTC version of the ROM and it installed....YEAH, BUT phone thinks it's a Desire , not an Inspire and the IMEI MMEI etc. info is missing. No connectivity to mobile network. And I don't have keyboard function either. Sooo, I think I will try another ruu and see if that works starting from scratch. I guess I'm still missing some files or steps in this process. I used to be in the PC business and thought they could be convoluted, but cellphones take the cake.

Yes they do. Just an fyi the desire and inspire are exactly the same device and HTC left the inspire name out of the build prop. It will say it's a desire HD, so that's normal. The rest isn't though. Yeah I would try the ruu again. Just make sure HTC sync is installed and running. You can run it from the phones os too.

Gizmoe, thought I'd give you the latest update: I was able to finally get the PC (Win8) to recognize the phone by installing HTC Sync 3.3.63, installing Win7 64bit drivers.
Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed from HTC site. This is an exec file.
Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

Ahh yes windows 8 is a ***** with android devices and fastboot drivers. I would recommend trying it on a machine with windows 7. Also are you s off. If so you can try PD98IMG.

Yes, apparently there are a lot of issues with Win8 and android. I can try it on a machine with 7 or even XP. Unfortunately I'm S-ON so no go on PD98IMG. I'll let you know what happens when I try it on the other Windows machines.
Thanks

UPDATE:
SUCCESS !! :good: Well it only took a boatload of patience and a 7 yr. old laptop running XP to get the phone re-imaged. Process was sloooow (about 30 minutes) but all drivers loaded and the stock ROM from HTC installed fine. Phone is now back to operational. Turns out I didn't lose contacts since they were apparently backed up in Google account. (YEAH) Now I just have to manually install 4 more small security patches from HTC. Their website isn't too clear as to how to do this but I'll muddle thru it.
Thanks Gizmoe for your help and suggestions. You are right I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to root, recover or re-image from scratch an Android from a PC to avoid Win8 at this time and stick with Win7 or XP.
Help me please!

A PD98IMG is a way to install various things but requires an s off device. It is not a method to acheive s off. What exactly is the problem you are having? Are you not able to boot your device? If you are still stock, run the current RUU from HTC through fastboot as explained in previous posts in this thread.
HTC bootloader problem
Gizmoe, I am joining this group, I have the same problem, followed all steps. my problem is that RUU during the process sends msg to phone to reboot and start Bootloader my phone reboots and stays with white screen / green HTC logo (freezes?) RUU after waiting for Bootloader returns error 171 connection problem. My guess is that bootloader is not starting and RUU times out and thinks that it is connection problem.
Uninstalled sync and reinstalled latest version, deleted and re downloaded latest RUU. System recognizes phone ( device manager shows HTC). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah there seems to be a communication issue. Try putting phone into fastboot. Make sure phone reads fastboot usb. Then run RUU. There may be programs in pc as well blocking it. See if you can send fadtboot commands if the aforementioned method doesn't work. If that's how you already tried running it then run it from booted phone.
