Do you have your original ROM backed up?
Do a soft reset and see if anything changes.
You probably need to reflash the ROM. Connect USB and run the installer.
I had the same problem :twisted: and was able to run a full upgrade trough the USB docking station. What was remarkable is that it seems that you can run apparently any OS you :lol: want because the check on what is installed leads to nothing because there is nothing to compare.

where to find the installer?
where to find the installer? - sorry I'm new to this, feel so stupid...
I had run a complte backup from active sync but don't know how to use it. I have a german t-mobile version. prefere it in english so would not mind installing the english one BUT HOW?
did a soft and a hard reset - did not help at all.
Same problem!
I was trying to upgrade the ROM using the official O2 download and got the same prob. I backed everything up using ActiveSync, but of course this doesn't run now that the XDA2 just says "Serial" or "USB" (if in the cradle) and v1.01 at the bottom of screen. Soft and Hard reset make no difference.
..more
Got it working again, by just running the O2 ROM update, with the XDA 2 in the cradle. Then, of course, to cause trouble for myself, I restored the backup. It couldn't write certain files 'cos they were in use, so I skipped them - - now its a white screen...
I followed instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244549), and I executed 3.17.03_ENG.exe after xdaunlock.exe failed.
My device is now unusable, some error occured regarding usb connection and now all I have on pocket pc is upgrading bar with 0%.....cant reset cant do anything?!?
Please help!

Since then i havent been able to use the usb connection, I some how wiped out my wm 2003 rom and have been trying to reinstall it but cant seem to get any futher than the error 101 connection, I have sent the phone back to the repairer and he has said that its a sofware problem, at the moment there is no software on it, I only have the bootloader screen which says, Serial, or USB when the usb cable is connected.
Can anyone out there please let me know if there is anyway i can get the room back on this or ist it a brick
My friend's jamin when he tried upgrading with smart1 wm6
after the flashing process finished it gives the 3 colors of boot loader
the screen flickers continously with the 3 colors
no way to hard reset the device
and activesync doesn't feel it
I searched all the forum for a problem like this but I didn't find any
any suggestion please, or any help?
Flash NVID Rom and try Smart again. Read WM6 upgrade Manuel and readme for the ROM.

Please how can i flash with the activesync doesn't notice my device and where's NVID Rom
Ok. I'll search for it but please help how can I flash it to the device which doesn't recognized or felt by PC
If your device is in bootloader mode, activesync cannot recognize it but this is normal. Jamin is recognize only as a usb device and you can downgrade it to NVID rom easly.
Then you could upgrade your favorite rom, I suggest PDAVIET 4.0.0.1
Bye for now

I think I didn't discuss the problem well
The Problem is when I start to flashing a rom a message tells that check if the usb is connected and if the device is connected .
This is happen with the device is connected to the cable and the tricolor screen is flicking . and the device doesn't open doesn't flashing.
must use NVID rom. maybe qtek nvid one from here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

If the problem still there, Try to release the battery for 1-3 hours and put it again to the device, go to the boot loader and pray. Hopefully it could work. Actually, this way worked on my Himalaya and Prophet.
Just run the "Step 1" component of the PDAViet ROM (http://rapidshare.com/files/32728615/Prophet_PDAViet_Step1.zip), which is just a plain AKU 2.20 NVID. This will find your device even if its in bootloader mode (it doesnt depend on activesync). Just flash it with that sucker and you should have a working phone on WM5, then you can safely upgrade it to WM6 (or leave it if you like).

Error 260... If i remember correctly that's "cant find device" or something.
Few things to check:
Is the PC you are upgrading on running windows vista?
If so, use a different PC running windows XP.
Have you tried a different USB cable?
If not, do so, this tends to be the cause of problems like this.
Have you checked device manager?
Go to control panel, Administrative tools, computer management, device manager and see if you can find your device. If it has a yellow ! icon on it or is listed as "Unknown device" or anything like that then you may need to reinstall the drivers (int hsi case the easiest way to do that is to reinstall activesync). If everyhting is working properly it should show up as "HTC USB Sync", "PocketPC USB Sync" or something like that under the heading "Mobile Devices".
Have you just plain tried another computer, regardless of the OS?
I found that I could never get my phone to flash on my laptop, but it worked without a problem on my desktop. This is not to say laptop's cant do it, it simply means some computers just have problems like (in my case i believe) no USB 2.0, or too low-powered USB ports.

hi
i have a htc touch elf0100 and i'm having a lot of trouble trying to get a connection with my pc. i already read every post here and i don't seem to find the solution to my problem.
here's the thing. i make a hard reset because i was having a lot of trouble with the room that i have so, i decided to make it, but when he reboot it won't pass by the align screen and now i'm stuck in the boot loader screen.
it says that the ipl is 2.27.002 and the spl is 2.28.0000, what i need is to make a connection with my pc so i can flash the room with the one that i have. i try with the mtty but i just can't get the usb port open, and i have try everything.
my o/s is win xp sp3
so please if someone could help me, i'll be very thankful
and i'm sorry about my english, bye.
i think the problem is in mini usb port in ur elf. go to htc customer care.
before sending it off to the care center maybe try a different cable
also..when you plug your device in,does it charge?
I kinda had the same problem which disappeared after a while...
cable
I too had a smiler issue, now Im using the cable that came with my camera, and it works perfectly.
I just have the same problem,changed usb cable,tried on other pc with activesync 4.5 but again csn't syncronize with the phone.plz help.
maybe u can't believe this but i tried device reset via phone menu,then synchronization done ok.
