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.

Not sure if this will help, but when you try to run the update tool, right click the icon and select "Run as Administrator".

Hey guys,
followed every single word from all the threads concerning Data2SD, and still can't get it to work...
I keep on getting an error message as soon as the device is done booting.
I then get a "unsuccesful encryption" message stating that I should do a factory reset etc.
However, even after trying like all the possible combinations of .zip orders, I still keep getting that message.
I'd appreciate if someone could give me a hand
(PS: I did try to do the disabling journaling, but it seems the problem should be found there!
Let me show you in the attached screenshot of my adb commands! )

I believe the issue is with your SDcard. Your device did not see the second partition ext4.
Hello, I would like you to help me with a small problem, I am trying to port from one device to another ... and by copying everything back.
When I want to install it, I get an error "Updater process ended with ERROR: 6"

I tried modifying the updater-script but it still appears, I guess is that file.
If anyone can correct me, I would really appreciate it. :ángel:

Hi, you can Google "Error 6 TWRP" to find answers.
Here's one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/twrp-error-6-t3328958/
If that one isn't the good one, there are plenty others!
