Big problema, cannot update...help

hi to everyone,
about a year ago, i patched thr spl...now is 2.13.0000. Yesterday i tried to install to my imate jamin (s200) the new qtek s200 italian rom. The process start successfully and cheked the version. When the phone reboot itself and shows the bootscreen, he program said that there was error 260 and cannot continue; on the phone screen reamin the boot section. When i try to rebbot, it works, but in this way i cannot update my phone. How i can solve this??
i use windows vista and windows mobile device center 1.0 version; also, i used on innotek virtual machine, windows xp with activesync 4.5I would like to inform you, if you can help, theat about a month ago i sent my phone to the assistence because the audio didn't work (is it possible that the assistence did something that block the update??
thanks and please help!!
on the bootscreen, compares RUU on the right-up side,ipl 2.13,spl 2.13 and (all writes are in the red section) and usb on the left-bottom side (on white background)! that's all, i think i've said everything...please HELP!!!

THE PROBLEM IS THAT PROPHET CANNOT CONNECT AT USB IN BOOTLOADER
i've tried, also, to use camera + softreset and when reboot the writes RUU disappear, but still not recognize on usb when in bootloader.
Someone can solve this problem? please....

your problem is vista!
use native windows xp and not VMWare or some Virtual Computer!
have the same strange errors if i flash with vista.
how you have flash your ipl to 2.13??

i used the pdamobiz...i think my ipl was 2.15.0000, and after downgrade, it becomes 2.13.0000. Sound strange? So, do you think the problem is vista and the VM? but i read in this forum that lots of people flash hos phone using xp on virtual machine....but you mean that in vista if you plug the phone (botloader) in to computer, windows doesn't recognize it?

i havent test "win xp vm" on a "vista host". my work laptop has vista and i cant update any rom/firmware. vmware use the host system and his driver to route the usb device. possible the usb-subsystem in vista is changed to much ;-)
test it ... if work ... ok ... we can debug it!

SOLVED
SOLVED! I flashed the prophet on "real" xp. Now my spl changed to 2.20.000 and ipl remain at 2.13.0000. I have another question: if i flashthe phone with one rom of wm6 (which is better?or which is the rom with less bugs?), can i reflash with a wm5 rom without problem?
thanks in advance and thanks for your advice!!

USPL - 100% Working in vista

I have a long fight with USPL and vista, but finally yesterday I won.
All you need to do is:
1. Remove your SD card
2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)
3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established
4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.
5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset
6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)
8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte
Succesfully tested on my T-Mobile MDA UK now I've got WM6 WWE.
Thanks pof for your great release

Thanks for news about it..!
Worked for me.

Works Great !

One more notch on WM6 belt!!
Working great!!!
Used it to upgrade to WM6 (bepe's) and later, GSM (2.93.90)!!
Big

Thank you, this helped me USPL my orbit on vista.

Oh...My...God! That is so cool of you! Many thanks!!!

at step 4: do i stop after the DOS part? Or do i continue with the screen with the big picture of a mobile?
Because after the DOS part vista installs the drivers but i'm not yet in the bootloader screen on my mobile (but i've got a white screen).
at step 6: When i untick "allow USB connections" in the WMDC, my mobile is no longer in the Device Manager list so how can i then change te drivers to the XP drivers?

First put your Artemis into bootloader then connect to your PC. Vista will install a driver for a PDA but this driver is not correct. You can find the correct drivers in the posts above this. After installing the NEW drivers you can reset your artemis and disconnect it from your pc. Restart it and just run USPL again. Has to work now.
Good luck!

ok what am i doing wrong...?
have followed all the steps above... but still get a 270?
am on official O2 uk WM6 rom but want to upgrade radio as performance / batt life have become dire since moving from the HTC WM6 rom to the offical O2 one....
device now syncs without drop out having changed driver to the old 2004 one... but still cant upgrade radio or USPL or anything ......
HELP!

the odd thing is the O2 wm6 rom updates fine within vista. but nothing will go over the top of it?

o21 exchanged my orbit... new one updates fine.. woohooo

first thanks for the news now we know the uspl works on vista
second 2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device) is interesting to know this

Second time flashing, help!
I succesfully flashed my Artemis (after using USPL)... At the moment, I'm tired of my cooked ROM and I would like to install a new ROM. Do I have to use USPL a second time?
Bootloader screen says: SPL 1.11.100 (or something like that...)
Many thanx...

Doesn't work, because Vista says that it is not a Vista driver. How did you all installed the drivers under vista???

cmon uspl gives error code 260
Though I am not new to these ROM upgrading things, I am always receiving error code 260 while trying to update the SPL by cmon uspl. I have already successfully updated by uspl, long ago. I have flashed several ROMs and tried most of them.
Why only cmon uspl is giving me such error?

Vista and WM6

Anybody install Helmi's ROM from Windows Vista?
I have trouble/ When i start bootloder on my BA, PC don't connect to mobile device
And i can't install ROM
I try install activesync, but that is impossible

You can't use RUU on vista with the built in drivers unfortunately.
There is a thread (search for it) and you will find out how to get it working.

Hey guys there is a WIKI!

I spend so many hours and nobody follow the wiki
But I am gonna to finish it cause I like the wizard style

how to upgrade ROM from VISTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723

Upgrade is done with the old activesync drivers ... thats why i hate vista, you have to do a lot of stuff to reach your goal

I conferm that the rom upgrade never worked on my pc with Vista. I was forced to use my laptop with Xp. I think someone should make blueangel update utilities compatible with Vista too

Or just keep an XP virtual machine in a safe place

i will post the steps for vista upgrade later, because i am lil busy

xplode?
Have you read the wiki already?) There is nice step by step tutorial - however if you can make some pictures It would be much better!

Follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723&highlight=vista
I upgrade my ROMS in Vista using this method and it works every time.

i will made guide with pichtures but it will be after 5-6 hours , because i only have time at night

Try to remove SD from your device b4 do the flashing.

Thats right SD card should be removed before flash (device may not go into "USB" mode when "cradled")
However I have made PICTURES and added them to the wiki (they are quite big and it doesnt look very well) but will improve it later

Should like to Flash ROM, but ERROR 260

Hello
I've got a problem. I want to flash my ROM to WM6.5.
I connectet my Phone with Vista over USB-Port.
The ROMUpdateUtility.exe start the GUI.The phone disconnect from Vista and the Install GUI shows me after few seconds the ERROR 260, that my Phone ist not connectet.
On my Phone I see the three coulored Monitor. On the left lower site is written "USB".
I tried to hold the connection with Vista ( i startet the Camera or other Applikation ) but the same problem.
Whenever i start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe the same. Disconnect and never connect again.
What can i do, that my phone stay connectet with Vista, so the Install GUI can make his work?
thx AcidC ( and sorry for my bad english)

run artemis uspl first
remove any sd card if u have
and then try it

Hi,
we tried with and without microSD card and or sim card.
The real problem is the connection which is interrupted and doesn't rebuild.
Independent of trying to flash the WM6.5 or USPL.

Silly question, but you never know..Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed in your PC and is your device connected to it? It is the "Activesync for Vista". The three coloured screen is normal, it is called Boatloader. After that you should have a progress bar of what you are updating (rom,radio..uspl..etc) on both PC and Artemis. In my case, when i got error [260] it's always because I forget to remove the SD card. I know you already tried this but keep it away from device when you flash.Your problem is maybe about Vista Drivers for Artemis, there are threads concerning it. Before you investigate further,try to install/reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center, change USB port and flash with a freshly booted PC. Hope you'll get the magic.
P.S. USPL flash is ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING TO DO!
Workaround: try to flash with a PC running XP

You need RUU for vista

Ok. I tried it again, but like u said, i need USPL and WM6.5 RUUs for Vista. But can u help me? I don't find somthing :-(

I consider myself beeing quite lucky for not having needed this even if I'm on Vista,hope helps for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337097

Okay, from begining
Answer in points like I ask you questions
1. Can you enter bootloader? (serial text on screen without backlight)
2. Which Bootloader version do you have? It is written on screen when in bootloader mode at bottom (like 1.03v)
3. If you put your device into crandle (of course crandle is connected to usb in your pc/laptop) do USB text appear in place where Serial text was already?
4. Which system do you use? (Xp, vista, 7, linux, unix, amiga, commodore)
5. Do you have nk.nbf and Upgrade.exe or HimaUpdate(...).exe in THE SAME folder?
6. What happens if you run update application and click Next?
7. Did you tried to run in administrate mode?
8. Do you have x64 system?
9. Do you have himalaya? put out your battery and check if it is written PH10B or PH10A.
10. Did you tried another PC or another crandle?
11. Which rom you want to flash?
Answer here.

Thanks for your quick replies.
ive updated alot of phones from windows 2003 to windows 6.5 but this 1 is just stubbon lol.

sorry for not getting back to you im only a noob 2 things may be wrong sounds like faulty socket on phone or faulty cable/cradle try wobbling the cable gently when connected all sounds obvious but we are talking grandad of mobiles you cannot as far as i know go strait from 2003 to 6.5 i just got to 6.5 if you get a stable connection you have to go 2003se then 5 from there went to swampys blue silk now aeroflylubys hybred 6.5 all running perfect also athers memory program came in handy i used microsoft activsync 4.5 for xp win7 is a brill os but xp did it for me

ROFL! amiga!!! AMIGA FOREVER!!!!

Ive just had another O2 XDA II and a TMobile MDA II throught the post.
ive just ordered a new cradle today aswell, as the 1 I was using was slightly cracked on the bit that connects to the phone.
So that might of been the problem.
im unable to test until the new cradle comes (hopefully in the morning)
il keep you posted.
cheers
