Error [262] ROM Update - General Questions and Answers

O2 XDA Orbit 2. (Polaris '08)
Im trying to change my ROM but keep hitting Error [262] at 32% progress.
Has anyone experienced this and how did they get round it?
Ive done lots of web searches but failed to find a solution. Most people suggest a hard reset or a soft reset. Reboot pc, remove battery and replace 15 mins later, reinstall activesync etc.
I updated my 02 rom to the WM6.1 rom a few months ago. Then this morning I tried out the official HTC rom. I decided I preferred the O2 rom but before doing my final flash I installed the 3Lit3 Clean rom. Although the memory usage is good I wanted to go back to the O2 rom. And its on this flash that I get stuck. The phone shows the RGB screen until I reinstall Hard SPLv2, only then will it boot back into 3Lit3.
Ive tried the suggestions I listed above on both my XP and Vista machine but im still left with Error [262] at 32% progress.
Any suggestions or experiences will be good to read.
Many Thanks

No ExtRom in Device Information, and Stays in Bootloader

I tried to update the rom for my MDA compact from the T-mobile website, but when i got to stage two (ExtRom update) it froze at 56%. No when i manage to get the device started up, there is no t-mobile branding (which is good i think unless i need it) and when i try to soft reset it stays in bootloader.
Problems: 1. Is it alright to have no ExtRom
2. Why does it stay in Bootloader when I try to soft Reset.
Any advice?

****************Update************
I just tryed to update again, using the way on the Wiki and it froze at 56% again!!! Always the same percentage!!! The Rom I used is from the T-mobile Website, I will try an older rom and see what happens. Please some one reply.
************Update**************
So I tried an older rom, the one of the wiki, and it was working good, then froze on 26%, so I started up my device and it asked me to pick a customization.ie, UK_tmobile, Uk_Vodafone etc, so I picked Uk_tmobile, and it installed, but after, warning window came up saying the file Default_Caller_ID is not a Windows CE system file. Then froze my device, I soft reset, and it went back to bootloader. Why does it goto bootloader when soft resetted? Getting very scared, help!

problem trying to flash ROM

hello, i currently have the faria rom installed. the rom version is 3.3.0.0 with extrom faria v4.0. whenever i try to flash a newer faria wm6 rom, it doesn't want to work. i open the upgrade utility and everything seems to be working fine, then when it starts the process it first tries to restart the phone, but instead of restarting, it just stays off and doesn't come back on. i tried other roms, and even the t mobile 2.26 rom and still no luck.. anyone have a clue to whats going on? thanks.
try install a different rom first to see if it does the same
I've tried 4 different roms including the official t mobile 2.26 rom and still no luck...
A friend of mine had similar. If you run any RUU program the phone just turns off and won't turn back on (without pulling the battery). We tried numerous things (including forcing bootloader by using the camera button and another with a method listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107 so give that a shot) and it still wouldn't work. He called Cingular and they are shipping him a new phone (warranty exchange).
Have you tryed HardReset & reinstall Active Sync and then try again to flash ?
thank you very much guys you were both biiiiiig help! i forced the phone into bootloader mode with the camera button, then turned it back off and on. then when i ran the update utility again this time it didn't just stay off it restarted normally and entered into the bootloader mode. thanks again!!

Wizard doesn't boot after uninstalling BatteryStatus

Hello everyone. I hope you can be of some assistance, because I'm really getting desperate.. I CID unlocked my wizard (i-mate k-jam) so that I could install WM6. I then installed XPlore 1.1 from anichillus. Everything went ok. Some time after, and looking to speed-up wm6, I installed BatteryStatus beta3. The PPC would freeze everytime I tried to overclock the cpu, so I decided to uninstall BatteryStatus. I got an error message saying that BatteryStatus could not be removed completely, but the today plugin wasn't there anymore, so I thought it had been removed correctly. I soft-resetted the PPC and now it doesn't boot anymore. It just stays at the boot screen listing ipl, spl, gsm and os. I used the usual key combination to get into the rom uploading mode, and I can upload any rom that I want, but all of them fail to boot. It just stays at the bootloader screen. I tried many roms, including the latest i-mate one.
Is there any way to recover from this? Is it possible that BatteryStatus made some irreversible modification to the cpu registers?
I'm far from an expert in these matters. Please help. My wizard was a big investment and I can't afford to lose it.

Do a hard reset.
The first thing I tried was a hard reset, with no luck. I get a "Format is failed" output message.
Try this:
Disconnect the PPC from the usb. Kill the wcescomm.exe process on your PC. Take the PPC battery out for a few minutes. Replace. Put it into bootloader mode and reconnect. Reflash with the stock tmobile rom.
Hope this helps!
I solved the problem.. Followed the procedure explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963

Problem running wm6...

I have tried 4 different versions of WM6 from here...Some of them after the upgrade do not run at all.The device hungs up at the splash screen, i reset the device ,hard reset the device ,remove the battery but nothing happens.
This lately occured after installing faria's rom.
Other roms after entering the main screen ,start menu etc, they crash which after each reset happens over and over again...
I'm starting to wonder...is something wrong with my device?
Many times this happens even with the official qtek rom.
Just a question, have you unlocked your phone?
How do i tell if its unlocked or not?
I never had a single problem during an upgrade...but crashes keep on happening right after or in the proccess of a hard reset, i repeat , even with the official ROM, which took me today 2 hours to make it install and run smoothly at last! (unexpected resets , not loading after hard or soft reset)
The device now works fine but it took me so much time to bring it to that condition that i wont be flashing it again unless something very bad happens.
put your device on bootloader then downgrade it to your official rom then after running you have to unlock before reupgrade to any other WM6.0 rom

Flashing ROMs without ActiveSync?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone please help?
My wizard start-up doesn't go past the blackdiamond loading screen anymore. Kept getting the 'cannot execute files' errors so I decided to reset. Did soft reset a few times but still getting those errors so I proceeded to do a hard reset. After that, this happened. Reset a few times but still couldn't load.
I can't flash any ROM without ActiveSync now. Anything I can do?
Okay, can finally get back in with hard reset.
Can't seem to get rid of those errors though. Anyone knows how?
Thanks.
I suggest to reflash it with another ROM
Boot your Wizard to the bootloader screen (hold camera button and power on button), connect to you PC and run RUU flasher of another ROM... should work
