Mind you, pretty newbie here. I updated my T-Mobile PocketPC to their 4.00.10 ROM. From what I can gather, I've crippled myself as it has some coded function to stop further loads? When I try to upgrade the ROM I get:
ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
I've been told the "SD card method" would fix this. I am oblivious to the "SD card method", but I wish to learn. Pointers? Links? Any assistance is appreciated.
do some useful work sir. search the forum. it is there in several places.

Hello all, I took the bull by the horns this morning and upgraded my PPCPE to 4.00.16 ENT T-Mobile US from JSummers ROM Kitchen.. I used the EXE installer and everything works fine.. I did have to upgrade form Activesync 3.6 to 3.7 once the upgrade was done..
Tonight I decided on trying some new options from the kitchen and downloaded a new EXE.. (still 4.00.16) just with EzWap2 this time..
But the EXE installer won't see the PPC anymore, even though active sync sees it and it syncs just fine. A DOS window comes up and says "ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting connectiontype." The installer window still shows up though.. When I click next to install I get a windows popup box that says "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR - Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected." When I try again I get another dos window that says "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error getting devicedata".
Am I doing something wrong here?? I've tried the SD method but apparently my SD card writer/reader isn't compatible with XDArit and it writes sucessfully but won't read the card back and the PPC doesn't recognize it as valid..
Help!
:shock: Have you read small notes beside the rom version which tell you to be very carefull before using rom 4.00.16. The notes telling you that after you flash with that rom version will unavailable to reflashing or downgrading with other rom version. Sorry, only this far I could help you cause I'm still a newbie to.
You can go back to a different ROM or the same with more stuff like your situation. BUT you HAVE to do it the SD card way. Search the forum and you will find more info about this. (SD card method)
While trying to put a new ROM image, Adaptrom barfs with the following error "GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". I couldnt find any way around it, does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance !
The sd card method of flashing is a much better way of flashing and is alost zero error prone.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 RC1 and having successfully used the USB connection to update the ROM on my 02 XDA 1, I then discovered that I have the T Mobile version of software.
It all works fine but I did not want T mobile so I used ROM kitcehen to create a new ROM and tried to load this. Unfortunately I now get two errors. The first is via the Command prompt "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting devicedata" and the second from the upgrade software "Error 011 Execute Remote Communications Program Error. Cannot execute the remote communications program. Please make sure the USB/Serial cable is properly connected". Since my USB connection is properly connected - I can synchronise with my PC and load applications to the XDA - then I am unsure what to do.
Can anyone please offer assistance with resolving this problem?
:?: Why do you think, there is a search button in this forum? Have you ever tried it? :?:
I just tried it with the keywords Error and 011 and i got 20 hits.
The first one was your posting an the second one gives you the answer, why you're getting this error and how to fix it....

Hi,
I have installed an 4.01.15 ENG rom from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/.
And now I can't install any other ROM with the following error:
ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote
host.
error getting devicedata
I know its a known problem however from what ive seen it only happens when trying to downgrade. Well I'm trying to install a newer version and this still happens.
What can be done?
Thanks alot,
hackid.

Yes your right it's a well known problem bcz you used the T-mobile rom 4.01.16, You just need to flash back your unit using the Sd method.

Even if i try to upgrade??
The problem is taht i dont have an SD nor an SD reader/writer.
What can I do?
What actually fails?
Maybe its just an API that can be patched?

Hi. I had got T-Mobile MDA with german language. I upgraded it with downloaded file (4.01.16 ENG). After upgraded I can't synchronize my MDA with PC. Normally I can explore what is included in it but I can't upgrade it next tim at all. When I try open exe file in window appear: "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote
host. error getting devicedata". Then I hope, that I can upgrade it by XDAtools. After few minutes my MDA dont see my SD Card at all? I don't know what should I do ? Help help help !
The reason is your T-Mobile ROM, which prohibits flashing via exe file.
To get rid of this problem you must install ROM other than t-mobile via SD card.
spq: will You be so kind as to take a conversation with me? maybe thrugh a gadu-gadu ?
So ok. My gg number is 2968461. I'll be available c.a. 21:30 GMT+1
