AT&T Rom Upgrade USB issue - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Good Morning!
Well, I upgraded the ROM on my (previously) Cingular 8525, two days ago, and continue to fail at getting it recognized by both my Dell M170 laptop and my Alienware Area51 Desktop via USB.
Activesync 4.5
Tried it with both Advanced Network Functionality and without.
All firewalls off.
No errors during ROM update.
Tried two different USB cables.
Reinstalled XPpro SP2, fully patched.
Tried removing and rediscovering all USB drivers for both machines.
I've tried everything I could think of, and in every order I could think of.
The OS discovers the device, and ultimately gives me a popup message that the USB device is installed correctly and ready for use, but then 10sec later I get "USB Device Not Recognized" pop up error....
Should I roll back to a previous version of Activesync? Can I roll the ROM back to a previous version?
I admit to surveying the forums here before posting, but it seems a bit confusing to me and I certainly don't want to destroy my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help!

do you have .NET framework 2.0 installed?
edit removed questions that were answered in first post (guess I should read closer)
Did you flash a WM5 or WM6 rom?
I have issues with AS not being able to connect to my device sporadically when I am running WM5 roms but don't have issues at all with WM6 roms. I have no idea why this is but this problem goes away for me while running WM6.
Can you boot into bootloader and get a constant USB connection that way? if so you may be able to flash to another custom rom or shipped carrier rom.
And I know you said you already did this but uninstall and re-install activesync 4.5 to make sure its drivers are not corrupted. Select yest to overwrite when prompted (if prompted).

ROM Install Help on 8525

So I recently downloaded the "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship" ROM for my 8525, in hopes that it will provide me with a more stable pda/phone enviroment so that I may do the work I need to without having to hard reset every other day or so.
When I try to run the ROM install, I follow all the insturctions but when the update starts to run, it shuts my activesync connection off so the update can't run and throws back an error that it lost connection with the device.
Any Help Here? Thanks
PS: I love the idea of being able to use my 8525 for all my work and play needs, but if this update doesn't help make the device more stable, I will have to sell it for something that doesn't crash this much.
hey..iv got same problem.. i think it maybe cause we are using windows vista (thats the only information i can find about it).. i wanted to update ma rom aswell
I'm using XP Pro.
try running it on another system...if available...
anyone know the solution to this?!
OK, have you installed HardSPL ??
Check my SAFE WM5 upgrade guide, if you follow the procedures in there you should be fine.
Yeah, as far as stability goes most the wm5 roms out of the box aren't going to be the best. with any rom i use sktools to tune it up for performance/stability settings. It does this automatically so you don't have to find various registry keys. So don't think just because you are going to another rom everything will be okay.
Read the wiki, search the threads, you will find answers to all your problems.
As far as you not being able to connect what is your spl number? Also, have you tried hard reseting then connecting or trying another computer. I had the same problem when downgrading a black 2.5 with hard spl 2.1 ( i had to downgrade to send it back to cingular). I ended up just downgrading to the highest version of cingular rom which is branded AT&T. It looked like a pretty good rom but I did not play with it.
he does not need hardSPL(at least i dont think so) he is just runnning an update for another cingular ROM, its still the same CID...try running it on another system, i had this same problem and it worked on another system....

HardSPL will protect him against a faulty SPL flash if it occurs, a newer SPL is likely to be in the ROM update aswell as a newer radio possibly. Having the same CID doesnt matter because if the radio or SPL flashing procedure messes up it can create a bricked device VERY easily (corrupt SPL or even a corrupted CID/Radio BL). Besides if he already has HardSPL that would explain why the RUU doesnt reconnect when the device is in bootloader mode.

point well taken...=)
you mention, since he has already gotten HardSPL, why would that mean his device doesnt reconnect in bootloader?
put it in bootloader first and then run the update...
make sure you disable usb connections with active sync put your phone in bootloader and run the update might as well go with WM6 its a lot more stable than any WM5 rom i have played with .
OS crash
I run ROM install then computer shuts itself now my 8525 show hi true color with red/blue/white i tried to hard reset to solve but till hi true color what should i do?

I've run there updates on my 8525. If the computer is shutting itself down, try another computer. This sounds odd. More of a computer problem then a Tytn Problem.

=) have you even tried it?
I'm having a problem connecting ActiveSync over USB. When I first got the phone I was able to use that connection. Then I set up BT ActiveSync. I believe at the time I could use either USB or BT, but it has been a while. BT sync was so much more convenient for me that I haven't used my USB connection except for charging the phone.
Today I tried to get set up to upgrade the ROM, but ActiveSync doesn't seem to work over USB anymore. I turned off BT on the phone. When I plug it into my laptop's USB port the laptop makes a sound indicating it sees the connection. It makes a different sound when I unplug it. I also see the orange charge light come on on the phone. I usually charge the phone this way when I am on the road since I don't carry the wall charger with me.
I think at one point I installed a river that I fdound here to access the phone in bootloader moder. Other than veryfying the phone connected this way, I never did anything with the driver. IT has been so long that I don't remember the details. Could that be affecting the connection for ActiveSync?
I have made sure my firewall is inactive. In Windows XP Device Manager I see an HTC USB Sync device under Windows CE devices. Would it be safe to remove that device?
Any ideas how I can get USB ActiveSync to work again?
Is it totally crazy to try the ROM upgrade over the BT connection?

You may want to try using the Hard SPL v7 and then install your ROM. I did that and all went smooth as silk - six times now. I have been browsing ROMs to see which one suited my needs an personality, and it has been fun. You can find that on my FTP site at ftp://xda:[email protected]/xda_dlz/
This is a dynamic IP Address from a cable modem so two things are true
1. It is subject to change at any time.
2. It is not as fast as some of these speedy servers
But, I do know where it is.

I had tried this yesterday and checked the Enable advanced network functionality box. Today I unchecked it and suddenly the PC saw a new USB device (HTC Sync USB, I think). It still wouldn't sync automatically so I manually executed /windows/repllog.exe. This time it connected.
Some observations:
- After the connection was established the the name of my 8525 was changed to something different (something like WM_ComputerName1, Where ComputerName is my computer's host name). I changed the name back and was able to re-invoke repllog.exe and sync with the old name.
- If I disconnect the USB cable from the phone and plug it in again ActiveSync doesn't connect until I manually run repllog.exe. It does work when I run the exe on the phone manually.
I went ahead and started the upgrade process after connecting by running repllog.
Executing the RUU file from the HTC site first put SPL 1.11 on the phone and left the phone in bootloader mode (with the tricolor screen). I left the phone with bootloader screen and followed the instructions (although by now ActiveSync had shut down so the part about the AS connection that the installer asked for was not true). The progress bars appeared on both the phone and the PC. It took a few minutes to complete, but the update was successful.
After the upgrade I was able to sync over USB without any problems. I am now syncing my contact from Lotus Notes and setting things up to my liking. Once I got over the USB connection problem everything worked fine!

Athena Unlocker connection problem

i posted this in the hard spl sticky thread but got no responses so i thought i would create a new thread.
Been reading through the forums for 3 hrs. i read the entire unlocker thread. cant find any info on this.
i own a htc x7501. i performed a hard reset, connected device to windows xp pc. synced with active sync 4.5. everything connected, i can browse files on the device. device definitely connected.
i took out the sd card, sim card remains. windows xp computer has all updates and service packs and antivirus disabled.
i ran athena unlocker version 3, downloaded today from unlocker thread. click step 1, it loads the RUU, i follow the steps, says upgrading from image version 2.19 to Hard-spl. i click next, says now upgrading and shows the status bar at 0%. after about 10 - 15 secs, windows pops up on computer screen and says "error 202: connection. please make sure your device is connected to your computer, check the cable, blah blah"
tried mulitple times, each time restarting pc and device. device still works as before, nothing changed at all.
any ideas?
come on guys, anything?
someone has to have a clue
what do you see when you get into the bootloader screen. Get into the boot loader by pressing down and holding on the camera button while sticking your stylus into the reset hole for a good 5 seconds.
it says:
athe100
ipl-v2.02
ATHE100
SPL-v1.10.0000
i followed the tutorial video in the unlocker thread, and on the video when the guy done step 1, it asks to install something on the phone, enablerapi.cab by the look of the video. i never get this, just says "connection error"
thx for your reply Eaglesteve, appreciate it
This mean your flashing was not successful yet.
I think you should first reflash your original ROM back to restore it back to working condition again first. Then repeat the step and keep the finger cross this time.
You do this by first going into the boot loader mode, then connect up the usb cable, and run the RUU (RomUpdateUtility) program of your ORIGINAL stock ROM.
Edit: Sorry, did you say that your device is actually still working? Then you don't need to reflash the original ROM.
Do you have .net Framework 2.0 installed with the services packs on your XP machine?
i think there might be a misunderstanding.
the rom is untouched. i cant complete anything. here is what i did from the beginning. new stock phone. performed hard reset. went through customisations as per normal. stock rom installed.
plugged device into pc running xp. active sync, connected and synced. ran unlocker tool version 3. press step one, unlocker minimises and open RUU. says checking device for version details, finds them, says image version 2.19. great, that shows it can communicate with device. i click next a couple times, eventually it gets to the status screen that shows percentage of flashing and a warning at the bottom that says, "be aware this might take 10 mins" or something like that. about 15 secs, nothing happens, then new window appears saying "error 202: connection, please ensure device is connected, check cable/cradle"
i click ok, RUU exits, unlocker reappears, and says step 1 complete.
make sense?

I wish I could be of more assistance, but I'm not sure why your connection does not stay firm throughout the process. Perhaps you could PM Olipro for assistance?
yeah i might have to. i was thinking about trying it from a server 2003 machine, in case it is something wrong with my xp pc. i also have a vista pc but i dont trust vista enought to do it.
you think server 2003 would be ok to do it from?
thanx for helping a fellow aussie out

No worries mate.
Perpahs you want to try a newly installed XP machine? You know what it is with older machine. After a while all kinds of stuff goes in to corrupt it. I vaguely remember a post where someone who did not succeed with an XP machine later got it workign with another XP machine.
I think it is not possible for Olipro to anticipate all the possible conditions which might affect the program.
So, give it another go with a different, cleaner XP machine.
Good luck.
thanx, i might try that tomorrow if olipro has no other ideas. this is a newly formatted pc. i format quite regularly, being a network administrator, i keep all my pc's very clean.
i will report back my results when i get this solved.
thanx again

Your cable has no problem I assume? Do you have problem doing ActiveSync in normal use?
the cable is the same one i got with the device. hardly used. everything in activesync works fine. i can browse files. install programs, everything works as it should, except the unlocker
I had a very similar problem when i tried to make the WM6 upgrade...
The reason for the connection failure:i had my Ameo connected via an external USB-hub.Which worked perfectly when i just wanted to synchronise or browse files...but when i wanted to make the upgrade i got the same connection error at exactly the same point.
Sticking the cable DIRECTLY into one of the PCs USB-ports solved the problem.
Ok,last night i tried the unlocker myself.
I put the cable directly into one of the ports of my PC...and got that connection error!
Tried to reinstall WM6-which,as mentioned in my post above had worked...still connection error.
Disconnectedt the USB from my pc,and simply put it back in a different port.
WM6 installation worked,and unlocking the phone afterwards worked,too.
No connectin errors anymore.
So this definitely is some sort of USB connection error.
Just try different ports.

Error 260 when upgrading

First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!
Device is a AT&T 8525. Thanks!

Try a different USB port first, fire the device into bootloader mode manually and see if the device is detected by windows as "HTC USB SYNC"........use a hardwired port NOT a USB Hub aswell.
I tried a different USB port. It is not being plugged in to an external USB hub. I went into the bootloader screen and my computer makes the sound that a USB device was plugged in and it does show in the device manager as "HTC USB SYNC". What now?
Now try to do an update, Sounds like a problem associated with the connection of the device to your machine...usually caused by messed up USB drivers or a conflicting program.
Just tried. Same error again. Tried restarting the computer and tried it again. No dice.
this is the answer
hey man, how u doing. I was getting those errors too, I actually have a Tilt, I got error 200, and 260 trying to change my rom, I was about to give up. then I tried something I didn't think of, I updated my device center software from Microsoft and then miraculously everything worked after that. If you have XP update your Active sync software to the latest one and everything should work after that. Hope this helps.
and one more thing, make sure you install HardSPL v1 (or later when its released) first before trying to install the ROM.
I don't think anything is wrong with your usb drivers
I had actually checked to make sure I had the most recent version already and I do. I cannot install HardSPL either, since it gives me error 260 there also.
Error 260 is an open port error... I believe you have already tried resetting your device, but have you rebooted your pc prior to this procedure... I am grasping at straws for you, since you said you have tried soft resetting to no avail... I believe MrVanx stated to put the phone in bootloader mode and try to run the update utility that way... It works for me...
Can you try this on a different pc? If so, does it work? I have a post on another forum that you might find interesting... I did not compile it on my own, but cannot recall where I got it from... anyway, the link is HERE...
Hope this helps you out...
I have restarted the computer multiple times. I just tried it on my laptop and that did not work. I can boot the phone to the bootloader, but how do I install it from there?
That should be the easiest part... once you have it in bootloader mode, connect it via usb and then launch the update utility...
I get error 260 doing that also. argh!!!
i know how u feel
i had your problem several times. you want to know how i fixed it?
i didn't...
first i tried everything you and the guys mentioned and... nothing. then it worked the next day by itself.
the second time i couldn't connect i was really mad because the errors came sporadically. i tried installing AS, uninstalling, hard resetting the device, changing usb ports, anything logical and illogical and it worked on changing usb ports (but not on the first change).
now i'm at my girlfriends, had no problems until i saw farias new rom and wanted to flash it. guess what connection error
p.s. i've read trough and trough, but i've found no solution
what version and OS?

yeah, I thought u would dget that again. i don't believe the error is originating from your phone, its more from the computer. what operating system are you using and whats the version number for activeSync or MS Device Center you are using?
I had that error on my home pc and on my girlfriend's laptop prior to updating my device center software. My pc is running Vista ultimate x64 and my girlfriend's laptop is running Vista Home Premium x32. I'm on her laptop right now, the version of device center is 6.1.6965. when I get home I will see which version is on my computer, I remember seeing "beta" on the one I got at home, lol, I didn't know Microsoft sent out beta software through its msupdate.
okeven, someone replied with good suggestions to the thread that u accidentally started over in the kaiser forum. you might want to check that out
I have version 6.1.6965 also. It does not say anything about it being a beta version, but with Microsoft, isn't everything in beta stage?
I did try the "official wm6 AT&T" version. Upgraded just fine. Tried upgrading to another one. Failed with error 260. What is different with the official upgrade program compared to the unofficial ones. THAT is the problem.
help
hi guys,
i have the same problem always the code 260, and also, my tytn's screen become within light, and without any boot number, ni radio, anything appears, please help me,,
thanks,
Finnaly
Hi guys
I also have the 260 problem but i resolved it:
1º- connect pda and make a active sync connection
2º run RUU
3º the 3-color screen will appear and update will stop with the 260 message error. be sure you can install the "qualcomm cdma technologies msm driver" at this moment, by an internet connection.
4º after the driver is installed, the word "USB" will appear in the white strip of the 3 color screen;
5º run RUU again and that´s all!
I´ve tried it in windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
hi,
I had the same issue on my second flash... I resolved it by ignoring all .exe's (which I like in general).
So I copied the .nbh onto the card, renamed to Kovsimg.nbh, bootlader mode, done
cheers

Hi gys, I think that this is my first post, but I want to share some solution for with you. The most important think with "connection" errors is to have HSPL installed correctly. I was trying to install on my HD2 universal ones, like Hard spl v7 and 9, but problems occured. So after trying everything, I found HSPL (on this forum) just for HD2. After that, everything wass like a charm

Connection problem trying to flash ROM and HSPL

as soon as i try and flash the HSPL or a ROM it disconnects me from my usb connection, ive made sure numerous times that it is synced up before i start the flashing but as soon as they start it automatically disconnects me and the flashing doesnt work. Ive tried switching usb ports on my comp and nothings worked.... any ideas????
enter bootloader manually, when on coloured screen connect usb, wait for word serial to change to usb, and dont forget to right click and 'run as administrator'
thank you that worked so far, also its asking me which HSPL verson to install....
2.08. HSPL? or 2.08.0000?
it says my installed version is 2.10.0000

go on, have a guess, , is it the one with HSPL in the version, or the one without?, , , , , , ,
2.08.0000 is for returning to stock, you want 2.08.hspl
My first post!
And that last one above there made me chuckle, alot!
Sorry for posting on something almost a month old but it's the closest thing I can find to my problem.
So I've figured out I need HSPL to do any flashing, so i figured HSPL3 would be a good choice?
I'm currently on my boot screen and it says i have SPL- 1.42.0000, but the word at the bottom will not change from Serial to USB. I've got the HSPL3_PKG ready to run as admin when it does, but no change at the moment
Thanks for the help
forgive the dumb question, but the usb cable IS plugged in to the phone AND the computer, right?
haha yeh.
im on a laptop, there are 3 USB ports and i've tried them all.
there is one thing, one time when my phone was plugged in it started the whole windows device driver software thing, and then it said that it failed. could that be causing some sort of usb connection problems with my phone?
thanks alot, I see you're very busy!
is it something to do with my stock rom that ive not seen mentioned anywhere
1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
?
:S
no, not the rom, but yea, the drivers not installing is probably it. You need to make sure that windows mobile device center (or active sync if you are on xp) is the latest version.
what you can try is, (after you have made sure you're on the latest wmdc version of course) with the phone connected, call up device manager, (on vista/7 , right click my computer, choose properties, device manager should be an option down teh left) find the entry for the phone (probably called unknown device, or something) and right click it, and choose update driver.
been trying to get hold of a WMDC download all evening but i think i'm hitting some server problem their end.
just checked the version i have, is 6.1.6965 and i think it was 6.1 i was after so i guess ill try and hook it up like you said above, will let you know...
damn 'windows has determined that the driver software for your device is up to date' think i have a plagued HD2 :S
wait, just reread you r fisrt post again.
When you start to flash it DOES disconnect, its supposed to disconnect.
Try this, enter bootloader manually, connect the usb cable (ignore what does or doesnt happen on teh pc) on teh phone, does the word serial change to usb? if it does, run your flash.
EDIT - oh, lol, you arent the OP, and i just read post 1, lol, ignore.
apparently i am missing some driver, Qualcomm CDMA or something like that... trouble is that i cant get a hold of it, theres a few threads on xda that mention it but no solutions.
normally, when a comp is asking for qualcomm drivers, it indicates a problem. Mostly it is when a tmous has been bricked, but occasionally other people have reported it. There aren't any qualcomm drivers that we know of. (Well, theres a thread that is titled qualcomm drivers, and does indeed include what appear to be drivers, but they wont install on windows.)
If i were you id focus on trying to find another pc to try it on. That way you will know if its a pc problem or a phone problem.
good call, i think ill opt for the trusty XP, just need to find that old laptop...
hopfuly you won't be hearing from me for a while.
i read that XP is more stable for flashing off of cos its more blunt, what do you think?
well, its certainly seems to cause less problems, especially HSPL'ing.
Good luck, and goodnight.

[Q] Help needed. USB device not recognised.

Hi guys. I am in need of a little help.
This started last night. My HD2 has SPL-1.42 and has done since it was released. I am not a noob at flashing roms or indeed running Android Roms. I regard myself as being a bit of a geek and a bit technology savvy. Anyway....
Last night I flashed a new Rom (Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.sencity.Nov.30) all was going well. I flashed this rom as I liked previous roms by this chef and also to try and solve my email not being received problem. Unfortunately, emails still didn't work. Not a problem I thought, I will just used Android for my emails. Unfortunately for me the build I installed last night after installing the Energy Rom was slow and laggy for me. So I thought to myself that I would install a new WM rom this evening and the latest MDeejay Android Rom afterwards. So I went about the usual scenario of connecting my HD2 to Laptop in activesync mode(without Enable Faster Connection enabled(this is normal for me) but all I get from Windows is USB Device not recognised. I have tried with enable faster connection enabled, reinstalling Mobile Device Centre, different cable, different USB port, different PC, reflashed a rom via SDCard(transfered LEOIMG to SDCARD via adapter and run from SPL Bootloader). I even get the error when running Android. I have also checked the USB port on the HD2 for dirt, but nothing.
Can anyone suggest anything or is my HD2 knackered?
Thank you
