HELP

Hi all I know there's been many a post about being stuck in the bootloader and I even went to the wiki to see what to do.
Firstly, when following the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader) on the mtty_utility there is no option for USB only comm 1, 2, or 3 (am i being stupid?).
Secondly, I had a guess and tried all the comm's and eventually comm three seemed to be the only one working, but when I type in the commands it does not do anything.
Any help would be greatly appriciated as I would hate to see my uni go its been so good to me.
Thanks in advance
Jo

Please help

The USB option is at the very bottom of the list. Unless your PC isn't registering the ports, you should be able to get MTTY to work for that part at least.

Thanks for the reply but there wasn't a USB option, I've tried everything, I think it may be to do with vista continuously wanting to run mobsync.exe whenever I plug the uni in but there's no way to stop it.
I've tried ending it as a process but mtty still doesn't have the option of USB.
If you have any ideas please post them, am I right in beleiving that you cannot charge in bootloader mode? Or is that just off the USB?
Thanks
Jo
P.S. The laptop I'm using can read other things through the USB ports, and I have tried every port just to double check that they are not all on the same line (ie an internal hub).

I think it may have something to do with Vista... I'm not sure as I don't have a Universal...
If you have access to XP it may be faster and easier...

I think you may be right
I shall wait untill my housemate gets back in, if it doesn't work in safemode!
Cheers for your help anyway!
I shall keep all informed just in case anyone else ever has this problem

Got it working!
Right finally got it working! It took some time but I managed to revive it!
1) Connect your device in bootloader (Hold light button, power button, and reset),
2) Open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections,
3) Goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity,
4) goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=vista (it is the one in the modem folder, do not follow their instructions, it will not work in this case),
5) Open task manager and kill wmdc.exe, or anything with wm infront of it, also kill mobsync.exe
6) Goto: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader and follow the instructions (you should be able to see USB as an option now).
In mtty it took a couple of commands before it actually executed then once finished it looked as though it were completely dead, but connect the uni to the comp again in bootlaoder mode and all should be well!

PS could someone put this in the wiki under the title "If mtty does not have the USB option in vista" I'm being a dunce and don't really know how to do it

Can't connect to activesync anymore

I am running WM 6.1 (Michyprima Full) and I wanted to flash to another ROM, however for some reason my phone will no longer connect to activesync on the desktop (tried two pcs). It can sync just fine via exchange.
Nothing has changed on the mobile device or the desktop; ActiveSync on the mobile device is set to allow connection via USB and activesync on the desktops is set to use USB to sync.
I know the underlying connection is ok because the device will start charging from the USB cable when it is hooked up.
What can I do to fix this situation so I can flash to a new ROM? I do not need to save anything on the device... I have tried soft-resetting.
EDIT: Also when I list USB connected devices on the desktop PC, I see one called "Windows Mobile-based Device"

did you use a ram cleaner
i used a ram cleaner and my device dosent get recognised by pc.let me know if you find a solution.

Have you tied going to Start/Settings/System (or Connections) and running USB to PC? Try unchecking 'Enable enhanced network' then OK back to the start screen and try reconnecting.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset with the current ROM, and see if that fixes it. If so, you can then flash the new ROM.
If it still doesn't work, I think you can flash using a memory card or the Flash Drive without needing to access the PC.

Have you tried completely uninstalling ActiveSync from your computer, reboot, download and re-install ActiveSync. Its worked for me - sometimes the USB drivers become corrupt.

When I try and hit ok to commit the change of unchecking the advanced network functionality (it was checked before), the device just sits there with the spinning thinking wheel. Doing a soft reset and going back into the usb to pc shows the box still checked.
I will try a hard reset.

I think thats the only answer at present- the inability to change the A/S settings on the device suggest something's got corrupted somewhere

I was able to get it to sync after a hard reset.
However, when I attempted to load Michy's light ROM the device rebooted and sat at "Loading..." with a white screen. The wrapper then said error connection failed.
If I soft reset the device it comes back to the loading... screen; if I hard reset the device, it comes back to the loading screen after the hard reset. How can I fix this?

blast. left the stupid sd card in while i did the first flashing.
Removed SD card, re-hard resetted, then re-ran the ROM updater.

Sometimes its OK, sometimes it isn't- just one of those little mysteries I guess!
Glad its OK now. Michy's Lite ROM is excellent

Solution for deleted active sync notification called replog
YES...you guys definitely ERASED your Active sync NOTIFICATION file called replog. As someone suggested...he ran his CLEANER...then the problem begun.
It is true that Hard Reseting the device will get you back that file, but there is an easy way to do it...I can't find the original article but this file I will post will RE-CREATE that deleted replog notification file that is needed by active sync to work.
So next time you try and clean-up...just make sure you won't delete any file named replog
To use this FIX, just place it on your SD Card and run the file. If you want you can create an icon at Windows>Start Menu>Programs>to whatever folder... that will work too for easy access.
Just a word of caution...DON'T RUN THE FILE MORE THAN ONCE...why? Because it will re-create the file again. Although it won't hurt in any way except eat up internal memory, but you don't want any duplicated file... right?

6700 stuck in 1.00 bootloader

I'm trying to prepare my old 6700 to give to a friend, but can't get it reflashed to the stock sprint rom (APAC_SPCS_20600_300_11200_ship.exe, downloaded directly from Sprint). It appears the phone is stuck in the 1.00 bootloader (dark screen, says "SERIAL" until I connect the USB, then changes to "USB".
MTTY couldn't connect (no "USB" in menu), but nueTTY can. The problem HERE is that once I'm connected, I have no idea what to actually DO. Searching returns about a thousand results, and all the results I looked at either didn't resolve the problem and left it hanging, or involved PMs that solved the problem for THEM, but left no information of enduring value for anyone ELSE to read. I've seen dozens of postings saying "use MTTY to run the exit bootloader app", but no hint of what that app actually IS, or how to go about launching it.
So... with the phone tethered via USB, 1.00 bootloader active, and connected via nueTTY... what do I do next?

Can someone please help me? no USB, unrecognized unknown device, etc

I've asked before but haven't come across anything that helps. My Fuze, with hardspl and the olipro unlocker and a 6.5 rom (TAEL) now doesn't show up on USB. I get the USB Device Not Recognized error with a listing of Unknown Device in the detail window. Cycling the high speed USB resets the connection but does not resolve the error. My old Tilt works fine on the desktop and on the laptop. The Fuze does not work on either. I was unable to replace the serialUSBfn.dll file even with Total Commander as the file seems to be in use. I hard reset the device and finally reflashed the phone by SD in an attempt to replace the file. This wiped my associations in ActiveSync so I can't sync or for that matter set up the phone for the first time over BT.
I also tried to get it to be available from the bootloader with no success.
I've checked the USB contacts on the phone, reset the power on the device and the PC, etc. I've found many tips but none that have helped.
So, my questions are, in no particular order are:
(1) is there a code element that is passed to the PC upon USB connection that I need to replace, such as a bootloader? Can this be done by SD flashing?
(2) If this is hardware problem and USB is dead, can my contacts be loaded in a single action by a data file import by email or SD?
(3) Can BT be used for an initial sync through any unusual process?
(4) Should I re-run hardSPL or the Olipro unlocker to reset anything?
(5) Does anyone have any other suggestions?
(6) Is this a dead phone that need to go somewhere for service?

When you attempt bootloader mode does USB show up on the tricolour screen?

bootloader now shows serial, not usb
since I attempted to set it up on BT to try to sync it that way, it now says serial, and in fact the mobile device shows up on My Compuer and I can see all folders and so on. If it matters, the SIM is out in the Tilt at present. Prior to setting up BT pairing it had been showing USB.
with usb cable attached, bootloader mode says nothing. pulling the cable in bootloader mode, it then shows serial.
These problems started after I set Activesync to exchange mode: does this change a hardware setting that is not reset by flashing or pulling the battery?

Not sure if it will help.
If you can I would rerun Hard SPL and Olipro. That is where I would go. I am no expert but hey, no one else is responding.

Try another USB cable.
Have you ever flashed w/ microSD? See how 2 do it in the first threads in this forum...
Try this procedures:
1st - HSPL;
2nd - Stock ROM;
3rd - Cooked ROM...
Hard Reset after each step
See if it worked

try to go to settings>connections> USB to PC; then uncheck (Enable advanced network functionalty).
then try again.

I've tried multiple cables and have changed the settings
as I say in the post.

Phone Service stopped working

The Phone Service in my touch cruise has stopped working. It says on the home screen that there is "no service" the dialing pad and contacts are unavailable.
I have tried restting the phone taking out the battery and the sim card and nothing works.

Syncronization is also not working, when I connect it soon gives me an error and stops. But there is no error message and there is no cause provided for the error.

Hard-reset, if it still won't work, try another SIM card (for example, from someone else), or try yours in a different phone, to make sure it's not a SIM/network issue. If still no luck - it's a hardware problem.

Yes hard resetting worked. Since I did the hard reset I decided to uograde the ROM. I tried doing it but After I initiate the process the screen on the phone goes into the rainbow colors and then it seems to loose connection with the PC, then it gives me an error 260 saying not connected. Could this be a Windows 7 issue? Should I try the upgrade under Vista? (what I have a t work)

error 260 is a connection error according to the readme which comes with most roms. Is your phone synced with active sync before flashing.Also try putting your phone in bootloader screen "press the camera button and reset" and try flasing your rom then.
Also disable antivirus it sometimes stops flashing.

Yes it was synced before flashing, when I start the process it goes into bootload screen and then I hear the sound like when you unplug and replug an USB device. So it seems it drops the connection when it goes into the bootloader screen.
