Can't flash my HTC Polaris with Windows 7 64bit

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.

Bump
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...

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?

[Q] Flashing HTC Titan AT&T US to DFT Eternity Pearl edition

Hello everyone,
This is my first message. I have never posted here before but I've read a lot; I always found all the information I needed (and I thank you all greatly for that). But this time, i'm out of clues.
I have a HTC Titan US AT&T and i'm trying to flash it to DFT Eternity Pearl Edition, mainly to have it updated past build 7720 (since AT&T decided to screw us all and stop shipping updates; the CAB sending method fails on it).
Info about the device:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Below is what I tried and the results I got:
1. flashing SPL from DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1 using RUU: gives "invalid model ID"
2. flashing it using the goldcard method: the phones displays "entering USB host mode", then "loading", then immediately reboots and goes to the SPL screen (above)
3. from there, plugging the phone to a computer, then trying to flash HSPL using the wizzard gives a communication error when trying from XP, and apparently succeeds when trying from Windows 7. But restarting after it's done gives the SPL screen which doesn't say HSPL anywhere.
4. then, trying to flash the actual ROM (DFT Eternity Pearl Edition) from RUU gives "invalid model ID" again
5. I also tried to flash the original ROM for my device, IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh, hoping it would somehow downgrade the SPL and things would go well after that, using the goldcard method. That apparently worked:
But I then tried everything again and got the same exact symptoms.
6. Then, right now I tried flashing the DFT Eternity Pearl Edition using the goldcard method and it has been stuck on the "Loading..." screen for 20 minutes and still counting.
I'm out of ideas. To me 5. proves my goldcard setup works. I will, however, go out today and buy a SD card reader and try again as i've been using a flash drive. Would any one have any more idea?
Maybe one thing worth noting: that phone was originally a test phone, meaning a phone that AT&T would give companies who wanted to try new phones before buying a whole fleet of it. I don't know if they do anything to these phones.

I *promise* this is the only bump i'll make on that message. I bought a SD card reader but the damn thing doesn't even power up when plugged on a laptop so I have to return it.

Can't recover IMEI using Tutty/Putty/Hyperterminal

Hi there!
I bricked my p920 a week ago while trying to flash the ported 3D-ICS rom from xbsall. I don't really know what I did wrong, but somehow I destroyed my bootloader.
However, using the "p920 resurrection guide" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836), I was able to boot my phone again and to restore my nandroid backup, so that I'm back to stock-GB now (rooted, CWM installed).
Everything works fine, except that my phone does not find any network and has no IMEI anymore (yes, I know, these two symptoms are connected )
I tried to recover my IMEI using this guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330), but I always get stuck at point 9 of the instructions (trying to type in the original IMEI using Tutty).
So far, everything goes according to the guide. I connected Tutty with my phone using COM-port 3 (the only port available in Tutty) and when I type "AT" in Tutty, the expected "OK" comes as a response.
But when I try to type "at%imei", the only response I get is "ERROR" and no dummy-IMEI shows up.
By accident I also typed "atimei" one time, the response I got was "56000 56000 OK".
...later today I'll add a screenshot with my latest Tutty-session...

So, what am I doing wrong? So far I tried all that with two different Win7(64bit) PCs and via a virtual PC running on WinXP (32bit). All drivers for my phone, Omap and Infineon are installed (Edit: at my last try yesterday, the Infineon-driver didn't seem to work. After starting CP-download mode my PC gave an error, stating it wasn't able to install drivers.)
I also tried to use Putty and Hyperterminal instead of Tutty, but with the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Bye
a noob with an O3D

I was in the same boat as you but i flashed v10k kdz file with lg b2capp and my Imei was restored.
Hope this helps
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Yup..just flash kdz file and your problem will gone
Use This Tuts

Fixed it!
Good news!
I fixed my problem.
Thanks for your suggestions about flashing a kdz, but I fixed it another way, because I wasn't able to find a functional download link for any kdz-file. o,O
So here is my solution:
I think my problem was, that I backed up my system with my original nandroid-backup too early.
I repeated the whole "resurrection guide"-procedure and let the V21E stock OS installed, in this OS I had no problems fixing my IMEI using Tutty,
Afterwards I then just booted into CWM and flashed my nandroid-backup from before this whole s**t.
I thank all of you on this wonderful forum, special thanks to all the devs for their life-saving guides!

[Q] Urgent Help

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.

Nexus 5 Hard Brick

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?
