Hi everyone,
Well, i guess it had to happen at some stage!!! I am having major problems with my Uni and i have no more ideas on how to solve the problem so i thought that i would ask all my fellow uni lovers and see if someone might be able to help this old man!!
The Problem: I cant download any ROMS onto my Uni..
What Happens: I place my uni into bootloader mode, i then connect it to my computer and it tells me that the usb device is not recognised and active sync then dissappears. Then when i run the upgrade of course i get ROM errors, i have had error 114, 112 and 113.
The Specs:
I am running windows XP, i have reinstalled and reformatted XP 3 times now to try and fix this problem, using different XP packages, still no joy. I have active sync 4.5 and when i go into bootloader mode my uni says serial and 1.00 at the bottom.
What have i tried: i have turned antivirus off, firewalls off, reinstalled active sync, tried different usb ports, talked nice to my uni, and damn well threatened it as well!! The funny thing is, i have been downloading ROMs onto my uni for almost a year and this is the first time that it is having these problems...
From my minimal knowledge, i guess its a computer conflict with my unu but i just dont understand why after all this time its decided that it doesnt want to play!! If anyone has any ideas at all, please go ahead and jot them down and i will try, i love my uni and i want to make it good again!! Luckily it still works fine!!
Thanks everyone for all your help...
I think you have a problem with usb port of your uni...
Have you tried to attach your uni to another pc?

Hi,
- indeed as "pranik" says, try a different computer.
- does activesync always work ?
- be sure before upgrading to UNCHECK usb connection in activesync.
- don't use a usb hub
- try an "old" rom, one which you know has worked before.
- try to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01 NOT 2... (1... is for G3 = your device, 2.. is for G4)
be sure to read the wiki first about upgrading your bootloader.
greetings,
Wout
when you connect it over usb, does your uni show "USB" instead of serial?
Thanks alot for the ideas guys, its almost 3am here so i wont go and jump in with these ideas as i am afraid at this time of the day i will stuff stomething up!!!
I havent got another computer here at home to try another usb port so i will have to head off to a mates place tommorrow when the sun comes up!! Active sync has and is working, no problems there, the Uni says serial when i am connected to the usb port, now that is wierd, it should say i guess usb, right? wrong? not sure about that...i will try bootloader 1.01 as well and see if that helps at all...I have tried three different ROMS today so i will try an "older" one tommorrow and see if i get the same result, which i think i will...
Thanks again everyone, i really appreciate it, time for me to get some zzz's.

the moment you connect it, it should change from "Serial" to "USB" on your uni. This happens even before windows detects and initializes!
try plugging it into an alternate usb port on your system...
Thanks dream, i couldnt goto sleep until i had tried the usb thing and i tried all my ports and it stays as "serial" rather than change to usb...i havent a clue why its doing that, any ideas?
Funny cos it works as it should when connected to active sync...
take out SD and SIM, and charge to 100% before flashing and try again...
You could also try to use different USB cables. Damn things tend to deteriorate over time, especially when there's a lot of plugging and unplugging involved. Had been in a situation like yours several months ago, tried everything you tried and after a couple of hours I swapped cables with my E-ten P300. That did the trick.

As mentioned in shomki's post above; try & take out the SD Card from slot, go to bootloader mode & reconnect the USB cable. If connection changes to USB then that's it. Otherwise, you may have defective cable, usb port, etc., etc.
Had that similar problem since SPL upgrade from 1.0 to 1.01 & the only way to get the Uni to 'talk' to PC in bootloader mode (only) is by removing the SD Card. Strange!!!

I cant believe it!!
Thanks alot everyone, i took the SD card out and it WORKS now!! Amazing how something like taking out the SD card can fix this problem!!!
Now I am off to try some new ROM's!! Thanks again everyone, its great to have so many friends who jump in when ever there is a problem to lend a hand..
Great!
Just curious, what Uni variant do you have? O2, Voda, Dopod, etc? Is it a G3 (bootloader 1.x) or a G4 (bootloader 2.x)?
I had that very similar problem after applying super cid / sim unlock to my G3 voda Uni! Looks like some devices react to hacks differently from one another. This is the second time for this voda v1640, the first one is unlocking the extended ROM ... the only one that works is the patched extended ROM unlocker.
No wonder that a certain ROM build works well for one device while not for another!
G'day rh,
i have the qtek 9000 and its a G3 mate..its strange because before flashing this ROM i was using Ivans and i had no probs with that ROM..so obviously there is some sort of conflict there..
thanks again
lol seems like you didnt try everything...
glad you got your uni back...
the new roms are really good (ehem especially laurentius and beast's)
good luck!

actually, its not strange at all.
the uni supports flashing via SD card also, not just USB.
inserting the SD while in bootloader probably makes it think you want to flash via SD, so it makes problems connecting the USB.

hi shlomki,
it is still strange for me since i flashed 6 rom builds already WITHOUT TAKING OUT THE SIM OR SD CARD before the problem occurred. that was before when i had bootloader 1.0.
the only common thing between kanass69 & my setup is both are G3 & both of us did flashed Ivan's ROM. i don't suspect Ivan's ROM at all as the problem but instead i blame my SPL upgrade or Super CID'ing the device since i did screwed up somewhere in the process.
i'm sure other than me or kanass69, some are still flashing ROM's without taking out the SD what more the SIM card without any problems at all.
Anyone who wants to start a poll?
cheers!

i hope you are not using a USB extension hub. plus make sure that you are using original usb cable while upgrading
well this should be a tip for everybody who'll try to change rom. unless you upgrade via sd card, always remove the sd card before upgrading. saves you a lot of trouble.
luckily i have been successful with all my upgrades/downgrades with jasjar, tytn and touch using vista.
Hi farehmani & lukeap69,
With all due respect you are both missing the point.
First of all the problem WAS already solved.
Secondly, as posted above flashing ROM with the both SD & SIM card can be done successfully as I've been doing, before the STRANGE problem appeared.
Finally, we are just trying to figure out how this could be possible when I'm very sure that not all who are upgrading ROM's are removing their SIM and/or SD Card!
Anyway, I guess everyone had made their point and let this be an information source for future reference.
Cheers!

Long time reader, first time poster =]
Just wondering if i can use the same WM update as everyone else? I paid for a program to unlock my treo 750 to work for T-mobile when i first bought it.
I would like to upgrade to WM 6.0, i have done alot of reading, know how to do it, but not sure if i do upgrade to wm6.0 with the atnt rom, it might 'lock' the phone again.
Can anyone clarify this.
Flash away podna..it won't lock your device.

I've got a TYTN2 simlocked to Orange that I want to unlock. I've read through the various guides and researched the fact I need to install HardSPL and then run Kaiser Unlocker. I've attempted this as the phone is but it has proved fruitless as I get: Error connection 260, I then realised that it states do not attempt to install this unless you're running WM6.0, well I'm running 6.1 at the moment however downgrading is proving difficult as HTC has removed it from their site. Also this connection error appears to be consistent to ideally I'd need to install via an Micro SD or bluetooth as the USB connection just doesn't seem "stable" enough.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Check this thread and read post 4 regarding unplugging and replugging the USB cable.

Good luck.
Well as you say you have already tried it while using 6.1 even though all the guides clearly say to use only wm6, you've probably screwed up your device beyond help. If you are lucky and you haven't then check the Wiki here for a wm6 rom link and try again.
Phone still works fine though though USB connection seems to be an issue, even using a different cable.
I sim/CID unlocked my phone with WM 6.1 and had no problem.

Just xda-google search the remedies for 260 connection errors.
i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!
um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.
now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?
stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.
tia.
i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss
Hello,
this is my first post and I hope, it is at the right position.
I bought a htc touch pro 2 one year ago with windows mobile 6.5. After a while it had more and more bugs. I wanted to install windows 7 which I can install freely (students account). I've tried it and got "Ungültige Verkäufer-ID". Therefore I thought I have to flash the cell phone. I've tried it and after a lot of tries, I found
HardSPL kit for Mega Touch2 by jockyw2001 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649780) and I thought it would work. Don't blaim me, yes, it did not.
I've opened a .bat-Datei (flash-hardspl.bat) and after about 1 minute, the screen was black and nothing works anymore. I've tried the hard and soft reset buttons. I pulled off the battery, tried to start it from sd-card. Nothing worked.
Is there any solution for me?
Thanks a lot so far....
Has anybody an idea?! I'm sorry, but I really do not know what to do or even if I can do anything.
