I got this phone a few days ago and I'm already on a modding spree.
Today, I upgraded to SPL-1.40.01ipro and also upgraded the radio to 1.38.00.10.
To continue my modding spree, I wanted to update to the new Cingular ROM (2.06.502.3). I downloaded the package and launced it. I went through the usual ROM upgrading steps (checkboxes, etc.). Finally, at the last screen (before the status bar) I clicked ok, and it popped up a message saying "Verifying PDA information, etc." The phone disconnected from ActiveSync (even quit the program), Windows made the disconnecting sound, and then it made the connecting sound, and my phone went into bootloader mode. It then stayed there until a window popped up on my monitor saying "Error [260]: Update Error".
I searched about Error 260 and all I came up with was program conflicts. I rebooted the computer and tried to exit pretty much every program. Do I not have enough space on the phone?
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I searched alot. Thanks
Edit: I am using WinXP Pro, so the Vista issue has no concern.
If it is a standard RUU updater provided by Cingular you need to disable USB connections in activesync first.
Using the customRUU updates provided here (all the WM6 builds and HardSPL...and radio) its the opposite, but try unticking "allow usb connections" in connection settings (in activesync on your pc).
I assume it's the standard RUU, as it does not say CustomRUU on the file.
Edit:
I am using this one:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Cingular English CWS__001 2.06.502.3 02/02/07 ?? 1.33.31.00 32.66.7020.10H 15671.3.3.0 3.3 1.09 108
Should I just do the Ext. ROM ones?
Also, wouldn't disabling the USB connection result in a connection error (since it's not "connected")?
By the way, your upgrade guides are excellent! They really helped with the radio and SPL update.
A few minutes ago, I tried the the SIM unlock/CID unlock .v3 and it does the same thing. Error [206].

I think i might have been confused with using the mtty program, never mind.
The reason your RUU will not work is because you have an upgraded SPL (HardSPL) on your device and it is not recognised by the operator RUU.
The procedure to flash the cingular ROM to your device is the same as in my WM5 Downgrade Guide.
(you might not understand this until youve read the guide)
Just package the OS,Extrom and splashscreens as in the guide and flash with the CustomRUU tool, you will be fine. (follow the guide its all in there). Just to add to that when you come to flashing the repackaged ROM (at the end of the guide) select the 'Autodetect' option when the flashing utility asks what SPL you have.
Thanks for the help so far!
I read another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085&highlight=error+260
that if I update the ROM a certain way, I will not be able to upgrade the radio afterwards. Is this true for your WM5 downgrading guide? (I am upgrading to AKU3.3 by the way)
Just want to make sure before I do it.

You can change the radio without issue dude. Aslong as you have HardSPLv6 (1.40.olipro) then we will have no problem sorting you out.
The guide is awesome!
But when it comes to this window:
Follow the RUU instructions as usual to flash the WM5 ROM. Select 'Autodetect' when the RUU asks which SPL version you have.
when I select Autodetect it says it cannot query the device and it advises me to pick SSPL. Should I just do that? Activesync is running and connected.

No probs dude
Might wanna give the threads on HardSPL, CustomRUU and maybe the (hermes) rom koch???
The info there is great for future releases of ROM (and also for the techniques used in my guide)
I have same problem, error 260. At same time, after final check. I have made my .nbh with this guide (from Original ROM 2.11.255.1 03/07/07 and 2.05.255.1 01/17/07 ).
I have tryed to update with that guide that I mentioned before on two different computers Win XP sp2 and Win 2000. I have ActiveSync 4.2 on PC and the phone is Vodafone v1605 (with only rom that it has) and I have updated bootloader to 1.40.olipro.
Does this RUUWrapper.exe work with this .nbh allso? I want to upgrade everything to newest, or should I? I didn't find userguide for RUUWrapper or when it should be used.
I also tryed to flash ROM with "ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2", it went little bit further, but it hanged in 0% with error 244
Error 260 continuted
hello
I had the same issue, Error: 260. I have a hermes TyTn, WM6. I have tried to follow the steps on the downgrade to WM5 but have some issues. There is a warning to do the HardSPL first because this would prevent the unit from being bricked, but i am doing this because I can't do the Hard SPL. Secondly the Hermes RomKoch by dutty can not be found at the link provided. please help!
Try this method:
First go to this mode:
http://rt002nf0.eresmas.net/TodoPDAs200/bootloader01.jpg
And finally run ruuwrapper. This helps me.
error 260
I am getting the same error 260 message when I try to upgrade as well. I read several threads with different solutions and none of them worked for me. The link in this forum pointing to the downgrade guide does not work. I've tried on 2 different Vista Ultimate machines with no success. The funny thing is, I upgraded one of my 8525s on one of these machines with no problem, but this new 8525 I received today isn't playing nice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Install Hard SPL V7, then use sd card method to install ROM.
Go to page 116, post 1160 on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
for sd card method for Hard SPL.
Just drop the steps using sspl.exe when flashing roms as you would now have Hard SPL installed.
You need a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32 and make no spelling mistakes when renaming .nbh file to hermimg.nbh..
Cheers...
But how do I get the Hard SPL V7 installed. That is the version I was trying to install. I go through the steps and once my phone gets to the bootloader, it disconnects from the WMDC and then the error message. So I need to get past the Hard SPL V7 install first. Any ideas on that?
Thanks ultramag69

Hi ady
before we go further I need to know 2 things.
Do you have a HTC athena or variant.
Did you use the wrapper and follow the instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846
hello, i have htc x7500 advantage and i want to install the english wm 6 rom, wwe. first i have to unlock it, right?
I didn't used that. if i will, i don't need anymore athenaunlocker? what's the difference between athenaunlocker and hard-spl from that link?
You have to explain WHAT HTC wm6 ROM you want to install First
If you have and old WM5 x7500 just register on www.htc.com and download the HTC OFFICIAL WM6 update for YOUR language!!
ONLY
If your X7500 is SIM LOCKED you need to UNLOCK it first(wrapper isn't for SIM Unlock) and ATHENA UNLOCKER meets your needs
i wanna install this rom: AP Dual 3.0.

If you want the AP3 0r other roms in the sticky made for SPL 1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
then you should run the athena wrapper that Olipro has made to be as much foolproof as possible
As he says "your device MUST BE RUNNING WINDOWS MOBLE and MUST BE SYNCED WITH THE PC.
to recap: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE 1.20/1.25, DO NOT USE THIS."
It seems that you must use the same USB port as well.
i have allready downloaded that rom, all i need to know is the difference between that 2 files: activeunlocker and hard-SPL. And, as I saw on a post of that link, i can use one or other from that files. now, tell me, activeunlocker should I copy on PPC? (i will receive it tomorrow, and i want to know what i have to do) Because from PC doesn't work, it gives me an error.
ATHENA UNLOCKER is needed ONLY if you have to unlock the SIM too.
E.G. If your phone, WITH ORIGINAL ROM, can use ANY SIM, you don't need to run ATHENA UNLOCKER
As CMONEX said here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2030747&postcount=81
wrapper is hardspl + customruu
unlocker is hardspl + sim unlocker
SPL means a part of "bios" used ALSO for defining your device language and vendor (HTC, T-Mobile, DOPOD,...) and avodi flashing a "non original" ROM
To flash ANY rom you need to overcome those informations. You can do this running an application, but if something goes wrong during the FLASH and your device doesn't start anymore... you are lost. You can't run the application again, because you haven't the OS!
HARD SPL has been developed to avoid this problem. It is a NEW SPL (1.2 or 3.x) developed from OLIPRO (and CMONEX too for 3.xx) flashed into your device. it is IN the "BIOS" so, even if your OS doesn't start, you can flash ANY ROM
Both, WRAPPER and UNLOCKER will flash HARDSPL. You need only the WRAPPER if your phone can use any SIM!
When you choose the ROM some are build for the SPL 3.x and other using the 1.2 SPL.
With WRAPPER or UNLOCKER you have the 1.2 SPL release, if you want to test a 3.x ROM you need to flash the AP4 rom.
The only differences between SPL 1.2 and 3.x are the "partitioning" of the device. AP4 needs more space for the system files, then the 3.x SPL was developed to increase the System Partition. SPL 3.x flashing IS ONE WAY ONLY, (since Cmonex relase the tool to go back): if you flash AP4 you CAN'T flash any origninal HTC ROM

Listen to what Sergiopi said.
You will always get an error running these programs unless you have an activesync connection to the ppc when you run the program.
The way you were talking I thought you had already tried to run it on your PPC
sergiopi thank you soo much. you are so kind. thank you.
After flashing my charmer with wm 6.1 it was stuck at the Boot Screen and my phone no longer made a hard reset as it give formatting failed error.
Then i went to download an official WM5 rom from Tmobile, then I went into bootloader and successfully flash the official ROm. But again format error
Now it just shows
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.21
I tried the prophet ROM flashing as advised somewhere else but it failed at 95% giving me invalid nbh error
In the past I had successfully solved the problem by flashing the prophet ROM but this time .......
Any complete help or specially cooked Prophet ROM for this type of recovery...
You better not to flash Prophet ROM to charmer. Charmer wiki, compatibility section

But this is for recovery puposes as described somewhere else
Nobody seems to be interested to take pains in solving my problems
I do.
You have to flash with a SDcard. Search the Propet and Wizard section to find out how it works.

Thanks Mr ChrBeck!!!
But I think that some way of downgrading the the SPL to 2.?? from the current 3.08 would allow me to install the PROPHET ROM for recovery and then it would be possible for me to upgrade to orignal WM5 ROM and then upgrade to your lovely ROM that I had before your latest upgrade.
Am I right or if not then can you give me the necessary files and instructions for the sd card recovery method.
Please help me as no one in my locality knows much about CHARMER and simply unable to help me in this aspect.
Thanks again.
Dr.Zia ur Rehman
I'll try to help you. In the Wizard forum there is a sticky whitch tells how to do the SDrecovery. Just search it. With the SD Card you can just fully flash a ROM. You can't downgrade anything because downgrades are looked.
If I'll find the sticky this evening I can post the link here.
Cant there be some kind of HARD SPL for this ..... charmer that would allow me to flash the prophet ROM fully. In this way I had recovered my CHARMER but I think that at that time it had lower version of IPL or SPL so the full PROPHET ROM was sucessfully installed and I was able to hard reset and flash the orignal T-Mobile ROM that I think upgraded my SPL too!!!
There is no hardSPL. Noone ever designed one. And if the Prophet trick doesn't work you can try it with a G3 Wizard ROM too. But if that doesn't help to search for the SDUpdate!
To do an SD update you must have a ROM dump on SD card from bootloader.
Method can be found here. Section 8. OS, GSM Image Reflash Procedure
Thanks for finding it for us. There was a time I read this manual completely but I don't know much of it anylonger.
Charmer needs to be CID unlocked to perform SD card flashing.
I agree. I just forgot to mention this.
Then forget it. You can't CID unlock a 2.x or 3.x. So this method is out.
How can I confirm that my charmer is CDI unlocked???
Any if this is the case then what to do with my poor CHARMER....
ANY HOPES OF ITS RECOVERY in some other manner???
Also can you post link to the wizard ROM you mentioned in your post for recovery ???
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION !!!
Well, you have a boatloader over 1.x right? If so your device can't be unlocked. But you can try to flash any WM5 ROM for Wizard. But be sure it is jast the ROM. No phone or bootloader in it.
Maybe that works.
Would you be kind enough to post a link to the proposed ROM to which I can give a try?
Is this would be possible to flash any specialiy cooked Prophet ROM only with OS as the complete Prophet ROM (with no ID RUU)gives me error at 95%.
Further isn't there a way to downgrade my spl that would allow me to flash prophet ROM that confirmly worked for me in the past.
Please help i am in great trouble.......
Hey guys, need a little help here, i'm using a dopod 838 pro and using CRCs 13.3 rom here, how do I flash hard sspl into it? thks...
download it here: Hard-SPL-V7.zip
It's located at the top of this section of the forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It installs basically just like flashing a rom. run the RUUwrapper.exe just like you did when you flashed crc's
Or use the instructions on page 116, post 1160 to flash via sd card. Just remember the sd card has to be 2Gb or less and formatted FAT32.
Cheers...

i have this problem too, each time i flash my dopod with any HARD SPL it alway get stucked after entering bootloader screen, the USB Hub automatically closed.
somebody please help me!!!!
mine is dopod 838 i-mate JASJAM from Dubai, with SPL 2.03
recomend me if u know any ROM suitable for it to be flashed.
my Jasjam has problem too!
it's has bootloader 2.03 and i can not HSPL for it. now it's startup into splash screen and stuck!!!!!
what is your bootloader version? IPL-1.01 or else?
coz, i've just successfully changed my SPL-2.03 to SPL-2.60. olipro, further i have successfully cooced my ROM to WinMo 6.1 Black Satin.
try to flash your bootloader with Hard SPL v9, and i assure u will get what u want,
I read that I have to install AP4 rom in order to get the spl 3.5 so that I can install wm 6.5!
But even after installing the AP4 rom I still have the Olipro spl 1.20!
How can I get the spl 3.5 in order to install WM6.5?
Thanks!
Hi,
The only way to upgrade SPL1.2 to SPL3.5 is running the AP40 upgrade.
If you follow the v1.8 PDF that explains step by step how to proceed, you will end up with SPL3.5. You will notice that by totally new booting pictures.
Also, you can press CAMERA+RESET and see yourself.
I did it a few days ago and it worked fine.
The downgrade worked as well...
EDIT: I just remembered and confirmed my memory... There are TWO AP40 versions by now. One if for SPL1.2 and the other for SPL3.5.
If you installed AP40 for SPL1.2 then you obviously have a working phone with AP40 but you are still on SPL1.2. That was the WRONG update!
You need to get the AP40 UPGRADE file, which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387409
Follow the steps EXACTLY and it will work.
Cheers,
