I realize this information is on the HTC website but I have seen alot of questions lately regarding these errors. I decided that maybe, just maybe it might help someone with an error when flashing a rom, radio or splash and they can't quite figure out what the error is referring to. I also figured that this might lighten the load that GSLEON3 has been seeing lately with all of the "HELP, I think I BRICKED my phone" threads that keep popping up. Maybe it will help and maybe it won't but I thought it might be worth a try. I'd like to say thanks to OLI, Jocky, all of the rom cookers, GSLEON3 and XDA. You people make this fun.
I hope this helps someone.
? ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION
? This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure
you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU.
? ERROR [206] : MEMORY ALLOCATION
? ERROR [280] : UPDATE ERROR
? When you see any of these error messages, close other running programs on the computer and run RUU again.
? ERROR [208] : FILE OPEN
? ERROR [210] : FILE READ
? These error messages indicate that RUU lacks certain important files and cannot continue with the update. Please get the complete RUU package again.
? ERROR [212] : FILE CREATE
? ERROR [214] : FILE WRITE
? ERROR [222, 224] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING
? These error messages will appear when remote access control has failed. Check the ActiveSync connection and try running RUU again.
? ERROR [220] : MAIN BATTERY POWER
? This error message will appear when the device's battery power is not sufficient. Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it still has to make sure that your device has enough power to upgrade the radio. (Even when you plug in the AC adapter, the device is unable to charge the battery
when it is upgrading the radio).
? ERROR [238] : FILE READ
? This error message may appear when, for some unknown reason, the ROM image on the Mobile Device is corrupt. Download the whole RUU and try again.
? ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
? When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded image is placed in the directory of RUU. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again. Check that the contents of the folder is a KaiserCustomRUU.exe file and an RUUSigned.nbh file. If you put the os-new.nb file in by mistake instead of the .nbh, this is the error that shows up. Thanks ConfusedSTU.
? ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE
? ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID
? ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
? ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY
? One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.
? ERROR [246] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING
? This error message indicates that RUU cannot start the update process. Please contact your service provider for assistance.
? ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
? This error occurs when there is an "open port error" before upgrading the CE ROM image. Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an "OPEN PORT ERROR" again, reset your computer and try again.
? ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
? This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
? ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
? This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU version to upgrade.
? ERROR [330] : ROM IMAGE ERROR
? This error message will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to upgrade and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version to upgrade.
Nice one mate, at leat this will give people who flash some idea what to do when or if they get errors flashing.
great find thanks for posting this will be useful for everyone.
Obligatory "thank you" post.
haha ok ok mistake now i see the solutions xD!
edit...............
Thanks P1T.
Just to put one in laymans terms from real life experience:
ERROR 240
Check that the contents of the folder is a KaiserCustomRUU.exe file and an RUUSigned.nbh file. If you put the os-new.nb file in by mistake instead of the .nbh, this is the error that shows up!!
I thought everyone knew that these error codes were included in the .doc files that come with shipped ROMs (and removed within custom_ruu.exe).
Guess not Great post P1tater!

I thought so to but I have had to answer a couple of these lately and was hoping that this might help to clear a few things up.
Bump (keeping it on the first page) & +1 for sticky
Oh, i would change the name to start with "Flash error codes" or at least include that in the title.

I Can't speak for P1, but nope, I work, go home, play with my Son and either relax in front of the Telly or play on my PC.
Everynow and again on a weekend I'm forced into meeting something called friends by my better half

Try resetting the phone and the computer to make sure that no other processes are running. Then try putting phone into bootloader, and when sync'd try flashing from there.
WTF is this??? Anything I try to download from Internet Explorer produces this result, no matter the file type. I checked security settings and there is nothing that helps. I am on Windows mobile 6.5... IE in this OS is such garbage...I'm just trying to upgrade my Google Maps...Help!
bump for ideas
Nice.

appreciate the links but I guess I do not have enough knowledge to be able to translate that into a solution. I made no changes to the registry so I don't know why this happened all of a sudden. I did a search before for the title of my thread and all that came up was a bunch of stuff for internet explorer on the desktop, nothing helpful. Oh well.

If anyone happens to get the upgrade message via ota, please do not upgrade yet.
If you can get the update via motocast, there is a posibility you can extract the flash files and help some people to unbrick there xoom.
If you can get the update via motocast, please use process monitor to track what the update downloads or unpacks.
With some luck we can have the update files.
Feel free to drop me a pm if you want to help.

Hi
Thanks for responding in the first place.
First can you check with motocast(on your computer) if it see's the update.
If so please install Process monitor.
Next launch process monitor, then launch the setup until it would actually uprade your device.
Next save the trace. From this trace you can find out which files (temp files)the setup creates and hopefully extract the update or fasboot files.
If you have root on your phone you can open a terminal and do a "find / -name *.zip" and post the results here.
Probably there will be something like ota.zip on your device.
I think It will be in /cache or /misc I guess.
Next you can copy this file to your mass storage and after that to your computer.
If you could upload that file to somewhere and post a link that should be great.
Please also post which version of the MZ608 you have(via about) you should find something like the following things:
1.6.0M-272.12_MZ608_p2HW_BlurRegion02 latam
Thanks in advance
