Help! Upgrade Failed, "EXTROM ERROR"

I just tried to upgrade my MDA Compact from German ROM to English ROM. Downloaded the latest O2 Asia English ROM from FTP, then used NoID EXE to upgrade.
After step 1 of upgrading Radio was completed, error message 'EXTROM Upgrade Error' raised, then, the MDA only stayed in Bootloader. No matter matter how many times I re-tried, it failed before step 2 of upgrading the Extended ROM.
I tried SD Card Flashing method. But it was no way to read the ROM (with using Romupdate.exe) successfully.
Anybody could help? Really need your advice. Thanks!

Be sure your battery is fully loaded. I think, that was my problem when I tried to upgrade. During bootloader mode, your Magician will NOT charge through the USB Cable.

I used a fully charged battery (charged by another MDA) for upgrade. Problem still existed. Any further suggestion? Thanks!

Nope, maybe you can try another ROM?
BTW.Did you charge it between creating your ROM backup and your upgrade? Cause creating a backup also cost battery power, and if you don't charge between the failures, your battery will also be drained. I finally let my battery charge for about 1,5 hours on the normal adapter and after that mine did work. But like I said, maybe you should try a different ROM.

I tried several different ROMs, but failed again and again. Even using SD flashing method, error of 'Download Fail' occurred after pressing Power button to try to load the ROM image from the prepared SD card.
Any help there? Is my MDA totally dead?

I tried at least 5 different language ROMs, but failed all the time.
Seems there is no way out.

Hic ! I have the same error, so my XDA mini dead too ! hic
anybody can help me ??

Hmm. The one thing I can think of is that seems to happen if you try flashing a device *with the SIM card still inside*. Take out the sim card - heck, take out the memory card as well, unless you're using *that* to flash, and try again.
Funnily enough, I didn't run into this problem while I was on my old Mini, both original ROMs and BigStorage - but I see this quite often when trying to flash my Atom (message "Extended Rom Format Fail").
What I did was to ensure everything 'cept the battery was out, and to keep on trying until it goes right past flashing 6% of the extROM. >_>
(BTW: if you can find it, and don't mind having to go CAB hunting, go BigStorage. IIRC you'll skip the extROM bit. Eheh.)

stuck after update failure

Was installing duttys rom when my anti-virus program started. Update failed and since then all I see is the tri-colour screen. Sometimes I can get the rom updater to recognise my TyTNII but it will not continue to upgrade. Any suggestions. Have tried mtty1.42 but it doesn't seem to have a usb port option, have tried hard reset etc with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

An update, I have tried several rom updates since, most get to the stage where the progress bar is shown and the stop. The HTC update to revert to shipped rom gets to 1% and then tells me that this rom is not suitable for my pda!

How about some more information...
What is your Tytn II - Tilt or HTC?
What Rom was on it before you tried upgrading?
What Radio was on it before you tried upgrading?
What version of Duttys did you try to flash?
Did you upgrade to HardSPL before you tried flashing?
This should enable someone to begin trying to unbrick your phone.
Also DO NOT USE MTTY unless you know what you are doing - it can seriously kill your Tytn if used incorrectly. Wait for GSLEON3 to swing by before trying this - but he's very busy at the moment helping others unbrick their toys so you may have to wait for a while.
If you had an original rom/radio from AT&T or HTC it shouldn't hurt trying to download an original rom and try to flash - preferably using your SD card.
Also, while you're waiting for someone to help, have a good read through the Kaiser Wiki (in my signature) before trying anything else.

what are the steps that u take? let us know if u are missing any

HTC TyTN 11, Was using Q-mobile 1.2 but couldn't install tom tom navigator 6, don't know what radio it was using because i hadn't got that far.

Try to reset pda keep getting tri-colour, attach usb and usb shows at base of screen. When i try to install rom The problem in my second post occurs. I cannot hard reset device to anything other than the tri-colour

Thanks for your help, I tried one of the roms indicated and it worked! I have spent so much time reading various wikis and downloading files. I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time but I'm not about to ask questions! Thanks again!

OK, now you've got your phone working again, make sure that you get HardSPL installed before you try anymore flashing.

ok i was installing KAIS_Radinly_0.26.07.06_CustomRUU and it froze at 96% and now my phone is bricked!! every time i restart the phone its stuck at the RED GREEN BLUE and WHITE screen.. i tried using mtty but then im not trying to mess my phone up any more. i dont understand how to fix it.. if i download a new ROM and put it on my SD card then how do i read it with my phone? sorry guys, im a noob at this as you can tell..

nm guys. i just ran the new rom and it worked! haha sorry for posting too quick!

okay i have one problem after fixing it. i downloaded the TEST rom for the ATT tilt and now every time i reboot my phone it says 'TEST ONLY. NOT FOR SALE.' how do i get rid of this? when i installed a new rom it still says this and i even tried hard resetting my phone but it did not reset anything to factory settings. it just reloaded the rom that i last had!

Try re-installing active sync and try again. Error 262 usually means that connectivity is lost between your USB and phone. Re-installing active sync might solve the issue.
Also try and do a forum search using the search option right at the top of the page using the key words "Error 262" you might get some more inputs on how to sort this.

Suddenly can't flash!

Current Setup :
HardSPL (latest, 3.56 I believe)
Radio: 1.65.29.22 (from Niki or Neon, almost positive it was Niki)
Solace v3.1
Decided I wanted to go back to newest radio, attempted to flash to it; hit a snag at about 78%. Progress didn't update for a while, then to 100%. Update app said there was a flash error, and it did not complete correctly. Device restarted, stuck at bootloader. Re-attempted the flash, same result.
Next, I tried flashing AT&T's latest ROM. Stalled at about 76%, message about having a communication error, walked through the apps troubleshooting steps; it tried (and failed) again.
Tried the latest HTC direct ROM, same result.
Tried to flash the latest HTC via MicroSD card, got 20(ish) percent through, the Radio line then went red and said "RSA Failure". Then that whole process died on me as well.
The only way I can get my device back up to run MTTY to remove the RUU flag. When issuing the "task 8" command to format, it instead reboots the phone. The phone will come up normally after that.
Since I got it back up, I have tried flashing once again, and am getting the same result. Am I just stuck here now?
It's not that I don't like this ROM, I'm just wanting to update the radio. Any ideas what else I might be able to try?

Try using the search function next time before you create a new thread.
If you would tryed you could find this post

Yes, thank you...except that I started my thread saying that the proposed solution was exactly what CAUSED the problem to begin with. I tried to flash to the 1.70.x radio, which is where I got the flash write error.
Anyone else?

Now that you can get it up normally, have you tried going to a stock HTC ROM first, then the new ROM, then the radio? Or HTC, radio, new ROM? I'd probably do it the second way. You said you tried flashing stock before getting it up again, and that you tried flashing after getting it back up, but you didn't state what you've tried flashing after getting it back up.

Since I've gotten it back up, I've tried both OEM and radio only. Both have the same result.
Really at a loss now as to what to try next.

Did you try the 3.29Hard2 SPL? I haven't encountered your issue and wish I could be mroe help here. My only thoughts would be to try a different SPL, or perhaps looking into the ForceUSB issue. Best of luck.

No x7510 ROM flashing for me. Help!

I previously loaded 3.29.xTep_3.00 with hardspl 3.05. It's been running fine, but I wanted to try some different ROMs so downloaded several. None will work. No other versions of hardspl either. no radio upgrades/downgrades either. Everything is fine until I get to the gray load screen with the % of progress. It gets to 1% then bails. PC returns "ERROR [270]: UPDATE ERROR The Image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility." I have tried on 3 different PCs, reformatted flash drive and internal storage, removed all cards.. not sure what else to do. Can't find directions anywhere for MicroSD flash for the x7510 or i'd try it. Only thing odd about my device, besides this, is that the GPS stopped connecting to satellites several months ago (another bummer). Any ideas?

I got this result when I just removed the minisd card and didn't remove the cardadapter. Once I had removed the adapter everything was fine but you have probably done this so... I don't know what to tell you. Second time I flashed I remembered the procedure wrongly and I kept putting the phone into bootloader mode before I flashed I ofcourse got the same lack of result then, once I flashed from windows not bootloader everything was fine.

Thanks teacher1960, I have made sure all cards/sleeves/sims etc are out. Not loading from boot-loader, etc. Sadly, just screwed I guess, when it comes to ROM experimenting. The ROM currently running is the best of all i've tried, so my heart is a-pining, but not destroyed. If anyone knows how to boot from an SD card (I have a 2 MB non-SDHC card that I used to flash my TYTN2 with) I would love to know the steps. Thanks again.

I would try to SPL back to stock-SPL and then start all over again.
As being explained here.
