ERROR [260] Connection installing WM 6.1??? what to do?

Hi
Tried installing the HTC 6.1 Rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40.02_1.64.06.04
on my TyTn II from Vista and XP but i still get the same Connection Error.
Can somebody help with this
Thanks

Need More Info
We need more info to properly troubleshoot...
Make of phone (TyTn II, Tilt, Vario III, etc)
If you are trying to use this rom on anything other than an unbranded HTC TyTn II, then it will not work unless you have used HardSPL to remove carrier branding first.
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282 for more info.

260 errors are usually related to USB port access. If you are using McCafee or Firewall software, you will have problems unless you disable or gifve full access.
Again, to quote NotATreo, more info will help, but consider temporarily disabling firewall or virus software.

Thanks guys
Its the HTC TyTn II and the rom im trying to flash is the 1 released by HTC so i assume its the other problem, yes iam running mcafee firewall, ill disable that and try flashing.
thanks a lot

I was able to flash while running the mcafee, but I still can't connect to the internet after flashing the Hard SPL and the radio

Have you try using SD card to flash?
just renamr file "RUU_signed.nbh" to "KAISIMG.nbh" and place the file in your Micro SD card.
Power on the phone and enter bootloader mode by press "power botton" + "camera botton" and using stylus to reset the device. It will auto start reflashing the ROM. It only takes 1min to 2min.

Tried the mcafee thing but then it gave me the Vendor ID Error
Basically there is no way around except for flashing the Hard SPL and removing the vendor thingy.
Not sure if i want to do that cause that will void the warrenty.
Tanks so much guys

Well, technically you are but they don't know it untill you make it noticable and there are ways to make it back to OEM.

Just flash while you are in bootloader screen (tri-color)

Tried putting in bootloader mode and flashing but the same Vendor ID Error, dont have a choice but to Flash the Bootloader. Dont want to do that cause had a Problem with my previous Imate phone, the service center guys checked that 1st.
thanks

well... When I purchase a new phone, I never think about returning it unless DOA. When I flash my Tilt and iPhone, there is no turning point. Oh well, I change a new phone almost every year......Currently wait on my new N96

HTC Tytn II recover from bad flash

Hi.
I have not posted much on this site, yet I have used it plenty of times. And first off I have to say "Thank you oh so very much" to everybody who frequent this site. Most of all I would like to thank the developers and rest of the crew that helps users on a daily basis.
I've had plenty of phones the last few years: 9090, 9100, Tytn and now Tytn II - all of which have been flashed - successfully I might add - with software and aid from you guys. (Ok, so my Tytn nearly ended up as a paperweight, but with some fancy maneuvers using the CE SDK from Microsoft I was able to use it as a PDA again)
Now, I am stuck. Really stuck. (Not saying I'm not to blame, but I am still stuck)
I've got a Tytn II (The P4550 HTC Kaiser 120 I believe). A few weeks back I flashed this with Alex's Home ROM (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's ROMs). At the time I was running Radio 1.27.12.11, and continued to use it after the Alex flash.
That worked perfectly.
But being interested in always trying new stuff I yesterday decided to flash Alex.v5.WM61.HTC.302.UltraClean.ROM.beta2. And it really went bad.
I studied up on many postings (obviously not enough) and started the process:
#1: Hooked up the pda to my computer
#2: HardSPL v1
#3: Tri-Color mode and activesync grey
#4: Started the upgrade with KaiserCustomRUU.exe
Everything went smoothly until it hit 99% - there it stuck and the program ended with a communication error. My computer runs Vista (yes, I know. I wont even consider flashing another phone using Vista), but it has worked flawlessly 25-30 times before.
Anyways, what happened when I tried to recover was that the phone went into tri-color mode. Needless to say it was unable to recover. After much back and forth I reinstalled an old laptop with XP (as mtty does not work on Vista) and was able to boot it back in to the OS using a walk trough from this site - cudos to Laurentius26 for the post)
Anyways - it came back. But since it failed the flash I tried it again to make sure it finished properly. What I did was flash back the Alex Home ROM I had in the first place - that worked. Then I flashed back the 1.27.12.11 Radio ROM - which failed - seriously.
It hung on 17% and when reset it would only boot to tri-color. And this is where I am now.
Every time the phone resets it boots to tri-color. I've done and redone the mtty (with and without the task 28), but it stops in tri-color mode. If I at that point hook it up to mtty and issue the boot command it will boot properly, but thats kinda annoying - having to carry with me a XP laptop for each time I have to reset the phone. (Ive also tried the set 14 0 when the phone is in this state, but it will still only boot to tri-color)
So - what now?
I've tried flashing the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship, but it stops with 294 - invalid vendor id. I've tried flashing the same ROM with HardSPL installed - no vender id error but it fails at 16%.
In desperation I've tried HTC_Kaiser_NL_ROM_1.56.404.6_Radio_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17_Ship, but this also fails at 16%.
I've studied many a post on this site, but have so far been unable to recover from this error.
Is there any hope of regain the much needed functionality of normal booting?
Hopefully there is.
Thanks in advance.

Can you try these?

Thank you kindly Leo, this was much appreciated.
Now for a question if you have the time: Since I started this process yesterday I have not been able to flash a Radio rom properly. It stops on 17% or 99% and quits with communication error. Any ideas?
And can I trust that my phone now works?

But of course - now that I know how to reset.
One comment: I absolutely love the Palm SMS program added by Alex in his rom. You know if this is manually installable?

This is threaded SMS isn't?
That's default in WM6.1.
But if it's a seperate program there must be a cab out there.
I will have a look if it's that good you say!

Well, good is subjective ... but I love it.
As for the updating: halted on 16% - communication error.
*Looks around - "Where's my mtty"
How can I get pass these updating issues?

Which OS do you have on your desktop?
Do you have an original branded HTC device?
Try to flash a factory (shipped, not cooked) rom first!
Don't use a usb hub between your device and the pc, but use a straight connection.
See if there are applications running on your desktop.
Disable your Firewall for example...
And please take your storage card out.
Some tips....

And all good tips Leo.
OS: Windows XP SP2. Freshly installed. Only Activesync 4.5 added.
HTC: Is orignial. Patched a few times using HardSPL
Original rom: As mentioned above I've tried a couple of them, but both ending in invalid vender id.
And no usb hub present.
Another comment - the flashing done today and yesterday has been done from two different xp computers - but with same result.

hehe... really? Remove my beloved SD card? Of course - always do.
No need for firewall as there are no nic's. And also no applications.

I'm going to upload a shipped ROM for you, this one if you didn't try it yet?
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
Another question... did you use Custom RUU with ROM update?

Yup - that one has been tested - fails with invalid vender id.
Also tried flashing that rom with HardSPL - comm. error.
And no, I have not tried the Custom RUU. Will for sure try that now.

The Custom RUU is the same file that is included with your 6.1 Rom isn't it? If so I have used it with your ROM.
Do you think I should try it with another?

Yes... try with another shipped ROM please?

Tried custom ruu with Radio 1.27.12.17.
Same results as other flashes - halts at 95%.
Seems like OS flashing hangs at 17% and Radio at 95%.

Use one more time MTTY, clear all FATS and I've send you a PM.

If you're getting an invalid vendor id it sounds like your hardspl or superCID isn't working correctly. Before going any further it's probably best to go to your bootloader screen and check that hardspl is still installed.
After that, I'd try flashing from the SD card.

Good point ach2, but when launching HardSPL and starting the update it lists the correct data on the bootscreen (Jumpspl or something equivavlent to that)
Leo: Looking around xda I found an article about dumping the ROM from another device. In the same thread I found a link to dumped original ROM. I patched that and it worked like a charm.
My PDA came back to its original state.
After arriving home just now I thought I would give your ROM another go, but same result - stuck at 16% (With HardSPL and Custom RUU)
What can cause this?

Help With Updating Kaiser Rom. Error 262

Hi All,
I have been searching and not able to find a solution that works with the problem i am having upgrading my rom.
I was trying to upgrade to either or L26_KaiserTouch_V1M2D.rar or L26KDV12_Full.rar
roms, and after unpacking, running the utilities i keep hitting the same wall.
I have two pcs i have tried on, a laptop and a desktop both running xp.
Uninstalled active sync reinstalled etc etc
even tried the hard spl after using MTTY to try and solve the problem.
I still get error 262, even with hard spl which runs a different rom update.
tried different usb ports, unplugged most devices to the basics, restarts etc make no change to it.
Then i tried a fat32 micro sd card with the rom named as KAISIMG.nbh
and after using MTTY as listed by Laurentius26, it will show loading but not just sits there for more than 10 mins!
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution or has had the same probs.
As you could probably imagine i have a moderate grasp of this kinda stuff but i think its now beggining to drive me crazy!
Cheers,
Nathan

you have already Hspl 3.29 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
also if you don't have WWE phone.. (English language)
you must unlock your phone with this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
and on activesync settings you must check usb connecting..
try the usb from your mouse to see if working...
good luck
also try AthineOS Manila Edition Rom hehehehe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435345

Had a go at putting on Hardspl 3.56 also 3.29. even the forced Usb versions.
I can update to any standard Kaiser/Tytn2 Rom but any of these other cooked roms seem to give me grief.
I even thought perhaps i could run the other original rom update, so i did that and copied the different Nbh files in and renamed to what the original rom was but it still wouldn't allow me to get to where i wanted to get.
Is there any special way i can get Hardspl onto my device?
Can i copy it to the sd card and load it thru a bootloader?
This error 262 is driving me nuts!
I spent well over 4 hours of constant messing about and testing any possible solutions.
plus a further 2 today!
This is my last resort!
I'll be more than happy to donate to these rom developers once i get one working.
Even attempted the manilla AthineOS without luck.
I keep reading about the JumpSPL and SSPL, is anyone able to explain or link to where i can get it for the Kaiser ?
OR is it the same thru the whole series ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
There is SOOO much to learn!
The more you know the more you realise you dont know!!

Use jump spl first, I reccomend 1.56, then install your spl of choice, I personally use 3.56
Place jump spl on your phone and run it from the phone, keeping your usb cord attached, you will get a tri colored screen. Now in active sync comm settings uncheck allow usb commections. unplug the usb cord wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. then from your pc open the folder hard spl and run kaiserRUU and after its done go back to active sync allow usb connections and flash your ass off.

Woo Hoo!!
Finally i got it working, I was beggining to think perhaps there was something stupidly wrong with my pc or the Tytn!
Thank you very much for your reply KD8DNS, Also thanks to b16b After so many hours of mucking round i've finally got it sorted!
Now running Kaiser Diamond V12, it works very well.
Will be looking to change to many other roms in the near future!
Cheers,
Nathan

Help Flashing rom...

Ok so I have a HTC Touch Pro and eveytime i try to Flash my rom using the HARDSPL, I get a communication error that says, The Update utility cannot connect to your phone. The phone is active sync'd and connected. So I can't figure out what is going on. I hard reset thinking that would help but it didn't. Some one please help me, I just want my phone to run correctly with a new rom and this is driving me absolutely insane.

does it happen when you try to hard spl? or when you try flashing a rom after a hard spl

Hi,
Seems you run in the Firewall-error... disable (or shutdown your firewall) and try again.

Yeah its in HARDSPL but it wouldn't even let me do a stock rom (for ****s and giggles i tried this)...never thought about the firewall ill be home in an hour and will try it out...let you know how it goes thanks for the response

I was wishing that it was that... I disabled my antivirus and my windows firewall was already off...any more ideas? Just to give you guys some facts
1. Touch Pro
2. Trying to use HardSPL to unlock my phone
3. When i try to run it recognizes what rom version I have and tells me what im updating to.
4.I hit next and it goes to the progress bar on the screen.
5. Nothing happens on my phone
6. Then hardspl errors out
???

can anyone help?

Hi again
I'm not that familiar with HardSPL, but .. do you need to run it every time you flash , or is it only the first time needed ?
And another tought ran through my mind : are you connecting your device directly to your PC, or via a USB-hub ? Hubs tend to be a problem in such ocassions ...
Dirk

thanks again for an answer dirk...You need hardspl the first time only, from there on you can just flash roms...I am also not using a hub...
Two quick notes... 1. I tried to use the cord that came with it to power an external hard drive and it didnt work...then i switched it to my 6700 mini usb and the hard drive did work. So I'll try that cord with my phone.
2. im going to try to do it on one of my clients computers also tonight.
I post back with results....
Thanks again

Kind of sounds like you don't have Hardspl on it. What does it say when you go into bootloader? GSM or CDMA Touch Pro ?

Ok it comes up with tri color bars for a half second then says...
Loading...
No image file!
Than it goes back to the tri color screen and reads as follows...
Security Unlocked
Raph800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) V0C85
MicroP-Hermann (KEY) V0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Hope this helps!

Also its a CDMA... Sprint Touch Pro

Anyone have something similar happen to them while flashing?

After doing a bunch of reading I understand that the HardSPL didn't work...but im not sure what im doing wrong. I think im messing up the steps somehow?

Hi again
I don't think you're messing up steps... it looks more like messing up systems. Are you sure the ROM you want to install suits your CDMA-phone ? There are some basic differences between GSM and CDMA...

HTC Snap 511 (Willow): SSPL, HardSPL and original SPL by JockyW

Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your HTC Snap 511 (Willow).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Willow platform (HTC Snap 511).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC CEDAR platform (Ozone) is not supported. For the Dash3G and Ozone I have already developed a sspl/hardspl.
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Snap S511 SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.34
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Snap S511 HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.34.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash a splash screen
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any cooked or original ROM.
A donation for my work would be highly appreciated
Have fun,
JockyW
PS: Moderators please make this a sticky. Thanks.

Good work!!!!

Thanks Jocky, sending you good vibes and tips!
Once we install the hardSLP on the sprint snap, which cooked roms can we use? Are we going to need one specially cooked for the snap 511?

Raleigh, NC. My next vacation isn't till the week of Christmas though, so maybe someone else can step up in the meantime. I'll also be out of the office again for a week in the spring.

first off, thanks so much to Jocky and Ookba for all the work you guys do! but i'm having some issues. i've dont a lot of searching on here and i can't find a solution hopefully someone can help me. i can't get the hardspl to run successfully.
my bootloader screen shows this:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B
i'm using windows 7 (through VMWare on my iMac), everything seems fine until the pop up on the phone, i click the button (the not really a trackball button) and the screen goes black, i lose all connectivity through WMDC and the Rom Utility gets error 266.
If i don't click when the pop up shows on the phone, the Rom Utility will show and then the phone will go into the bootloader with USB written in the white area then i get the error 266 again.
of course there's no sim because it's a Sprint s511, and the sd card is always removed.
what can i do? i'd really love to get 6.5 on there, but i'm at a loss.

The fact that your running on a MAC with VMWare makes me think the issue could be in the connection...
Im not even sure if Win7 works, i could be wrong however. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone that has a WinXP machine would you?

I did try in vmware with XP and Activesync, but it did the same things. I have a Dell that I was gonna make a hackintosh, but I'm gonna throw xp on it and try using that machine. I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.

I applied the HardSPL to my snap using Windows 7 and everything went well

I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.

Thats what it sounds like... Good to know it works on Win7 though SPIK3.

Thanks Black_V!per for responding and all. I did finally get it going! I set up the dell with XP and it actually didn't work at first. I had originally unRARed the package on the iMac and just copied the unarchived folder over to the XP machine, thinking it would save me a download, but it didn't work. So i just dl'd an RAR utility for windows and unpacked the RAR on the xp machine and it worked perfect. originally the Rom Updater said it couldn't find the nbh file. all's well! And i'm loving 6.5!!
Thanks again Jocky and Ookba!!!

Must have corrupted during the download... Havent seen that since my 56k-days.
Glad to hear that!

First off, I appreciate everyone's hard work throughout this whole process.
Unfortunately I am running into a problem. The auto.bat is able to copy the JumpSPL file and the .nb file to my phone just fine. However once the Rom Update Utility starts the flashing process, the phone shuts off.
I did a hard reset to my phone, and went through the process again. The JumpSPL notice popped up on the screen, but then crashed when I hit OK. I know it crashed because the Windows Error Reporting popped up (which apparently I had disabled before I did the hard reset, so I never was able to tell if it was still running).
So then I manually ran the JumpSPL file. This time the memory box popped up, so I hit OK with the Jump Address at the default 0x00000000. It then asked which SPL file I wanted to use. I chose the .nb that was copied over. Then the Windows Error Reporting screen showed up again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but hopefully the details I just provided will allow someone to figure something out. Thanks.
BTW: My phone is a Sprint HTC Snap S511, and my splash screen is the same as the one posted before:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B

Is your phone applications unlocked? When I did mine it gave me a bunch of errors because it wasn't applications unlocked. Also make sure you remove your memory stick.

How would I go about checking this?
I remember on my Samsung Ace, before the 6.1 update, I had to install an "application unlocker" that allowed unsigned programs to install. Is this the same thing with the Snap? Also this is the Sprint version, so I don't have a Sim card, or anyway to typically "unlock" this phone.
EDIT: Ah, now I know what you mean. I found the SDA Application Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563761
The Rom Update Utility finished successfully! Now to move on to the next step... Thank you SPIK3

No problem, glad I can help.
