I have been trying to flash my HTC polaris with the updated HTC 6.1 Rom and it is not possible. It would seem that Windows 7 64 drops the connection with the phone when it goes into Boot mode and it does not recognize it.
I am using Windows 7 and Windows Mobile device center. This is what happens, I connect my Polaris with the USB cable It connects and syncs. Then I run the HTC ROM flashing program I click through all the questions and get to the point where I accept flashing my ROM once I do this my Polaris goes into ROM flashing mode showing the red green and blue screen. Then I hear Windows sound as if I had unplugged the device the computer screen shoes the progress bar but nothing happens and then it gives me a message saying Error 260 and tells me to check the connection.
I tried running hard SPL first but it gives me a similar problem when I get the message to unplug the USB cable.
When I check the device manager this is what I get:
{

Hope you can help me I am tired of using the original ROM.

Please help me out
You should really ask this in the Polaris subforum if you want help, not the General subforum. Though it sounds like you need to install the proper drivers for your device. I'd try putting it in the bootloader, hooking it up via USB, and attempting to get the driver from Windows Update (with the Update Driver function). I've flashed my Kaiser and Rhodium on Win7 64-bit and haven't run into any problems, and the situation seems like it's a driver issue.
Have you tried on win XP? in case you have any...
You'll need to downgrade your usb drivers using this guide

This looks like it would take care of, are there any drawbacks about downgrading?
Am I better off just finding a computer with windows xp?

Rom Update
Hiya,
The rom update only works on win xp machines as to why it said download xp modem drivers. It will not work on vista. When you run it on xp operating system, you connect the device then soft reset the device then the start button will become active. Just click start and bobs you uncle....

try reinstalling activesync and try to remove the pairing through activesync on your ppc and create a new pairing...
How would I do that?
I know how to delete the device from the PC ..but I cant seem to find a way to delete it from my PPC
A few things to try
Hi
Here are a few things you could try:
Use different USB ports on your PC
Delete the partnership on your PC (File>Mobile Device>Delete Mobile Partnership) and from your phone (ActiveSync>Menu>Options>Delete) and start again.
When your phone is connected to your PC via USB, go to device manager on your PC, right click on your device and select uninstall. Unplug your phone, restart your computer and plug the phone back into your PC. It should install new hardware.
Hope one of these works for you
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Have literally spent 8 hours trying to fix this damn phone, it's my mothers which needs a complete wipe using the stock rom. Even my younger brother had a go for a week and has been passed on to me. Not touched an Android phone in about two years so very rusty with the whole roms and flashing etc.
The main issue is I can't get Windows 8.1 to see the phone in USB wether it be plugged directly in Android, USB debug, bootloader or Fastboot USB. I have installed ADB with all the drivers, tried multiple HTC drivers and HTC Sync, PDAnet, AMD chipset drivers, USB controller drivers, random drivers from here on XDA as well as a multitude of other sites. Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 (front and back slots).
How am I supposed to flash a custom recovery without the computer seeing the phone? If I can just get that sorted I am pretty much set with getting the stock rom on there and the rest. Not sure what my brother has put on it or if he has flashed a custom rom or changed the radio/boot because I have no clue what the phone is supposed to be running.
Please some help here, don't really want to be spending more time on this.

I'm not sure how to help you, because i don't even know, if your phone boots to OS or not.
There are some apps out like flashify or TWRP Manager which should be able to flash a recovery from OS, but i never used that tools and don't know, if they work with One SV.
You should really get your fastboot working. I don't have windows 8(.1), but there are many threads here on xda about that.
Other solution could be to search for someone with a windows 7 pc.

Yes the phone does boot into the OS but again is not properly recognized, PDAnet and HTC Sync find the phone but doesn't show up or in ADB. I have checked well over 30 threads on here regarding Windows 8.1, downloading various tools and drivers etc without success.
Will check out those links.
Thanks.
Hey yall,
So just a hour or two ago (as of this thread), I hard-bricked my Nexus 5 and can't get it to power on again. I tried disconnecting the battery and plugging it in again and didn't do the trick. I looked through guides on how to fix it but can't find any guide to fix it. I used Boarddiag but that doesn't recognize the phone (my pc can connect it, but says it's not recognized, prob driver issue) and other software but nothing works. Also when it's plugged in it makes a high pitch sound coming from the top of the phone.
This is really my gf's phone (not actually mine) and tried to put lineageos 18 on it (which i successfully did) and tried using a guide to resize the system partition to install gapps but that bricked the phone.
If anyone could help, that would be great. I want to give the phone back for her to use.

ok so i just figured out a guide to patch the boot partition but is still not booting up. Guide said there was a "fastboot mod" what does that mean? (also i was using a windows 7 vm since windows 10 wasnt detecting it properly)
I know it's been a few days but i figured out how to do it!
You have to: (these are the instructions)
-download the 16GB or 32GB patch file (which ever one is for your phone)
-extract the zip/rar/7z file (if you find one)
-Figure out which COM your phone is and it is in the COM Ports in device manager labeled "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" (or if you're using a vm for this method like vmware it can pop up and show which device you're connecting into the vm)
-On the com port, change it to the specified number and change the device to Nexus5
-highlight AP check, SDRAM test (and change that to level 1) and Restore Device
-press start and then your phone should boot up after everything is done! (you have to find your rom though, since it is not in the patch file)
My Nexus 5 was running at once and suddenly turned off while it was about 80% charged
What do you think is the problem? My phone may also be Hard Brick?

No that's an battery issue
Hello everybody!
Yesterday, on 28 of December, I had a massage on my BV4900 pro that a systemupdate is now ready to be installed.
After download of 2,48 GB file the installation went on, the phone started in the next step. On the screen was this white circle and the installation-progress was shown under. After the update was completted, the phone didnt start. The screen ist black. I cannot do anything with it. I tried to flash the firmware or at least the preloader with sp-flash-tool, but cannot. The connection to sp-flash-tool is with 100% but then I see under device-manager is "Media Tek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)". So the flash-tool does not flash. I tried with volume buttons to stop the battery-loading, but withou sussess. What can I try more to save the phone?
Some more informations: The red LED ist on, when the phone ist connected to pc or power-supply. The phone was rooted. The last android version: 12
And maybe this picture will help:

Just a Hint:
Do not flash preloader! preloader is responsible for preloader mode (which used by SP Flash Tool)
Do not use "Format all + Download" option. Formatting whole emmc will brick device.

Yes, I did it already. Nothing helps.
I spend the second day with this problem and do not come forward.
you already tried another cable and another PC? then probably usb jack is faulty. you shouldn't flash anything via usb then!
I am not the one who told you - you could try other flash tools. do not flash, just try to read back for now...

Somebody else, who maybe has an idea?
I found this discription of the error:
The phone seems always be on. With power button I can only "restart" it. How can I shut it down?
Is there a tool I can use for switch the phone off?
Or maybe cmd-command for shutting down the device on com-port? I cannot find anything in internet. Only with adb. But I have no connection to adb, the phone is over adb not rearchable.
Maybe someone can show me the test point for this smartphone?
