Vista and Upgrading bootloader

So got my Dopod 838pro running windows mobile 5 and will upgrade it to windows mobile6 with any luck, at the moment im trying to upgrade the boot loader to SPL (Bootloader) version 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7) and im following this very handy guide http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
however i get to the very end where its supposed to flash the new boot loader and it sits there for a while until the updater utility comes back with ERROR [260] Update Error.
Which informs me that i should check to see if the phone is connected to the computer via usb, which it is.
It must connect to the phone cause it actually starts the process of trying to update the boot loader, i see it on my phone. It goes to a red, green and blue screen. Which says:
Herm1000
IPL-SSPL by Des
Herm100
SPL-1.09.ds
USB
The only option i have here is to press exit on the updater utility, and start again.
Nothing else happends after this.
Im running Windows Vista 64bit, have also tryed this guide
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
Still no solution.
Currently i have:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.06
Have also restarted my computer in between trying different things.
Anyone ever had this problem or know a fix?
Thanks in advance.

error 260 is an open port error. try a different usb port, disable antivirus and firewalls, or if avaiable try on a different pc, xp if possible.

heh, works on my XP machine.... >< Thanks.
Edit:
I tried a differeny USB port on my vista machine and that didnt work. I also closed absolutely everything and that didnt work either.

flashing problem plz help me..

I used USPL for unlocking the cid of my P3350(LOVE)... As it mentioned in the USPL manual it works perfectly till step 12 (that is my phone screen becomes dark).
Here is the problem starts.. When the phone screen becomes dark, my device is automatically disconnected from my PC..Is this normal?
Since this is the 1st time flashing a mobile i was excited, but due to this problem I am very much frustrated.. Plz help me...

Yest it's normal. You will lose the Activesync connection.
Then you have to run the Run update utility that will show next, to uptade your SPL.
Cheers

Showing USB1.xx is the bootloader mode ! Maybe a damage switch ?
I would try to flash it .
Cotulla says : *Enter bootloader mode on device (Press POWER + CAMERA + RESET, you will see Serial/USB at top and 1.0X at bottom)
*Connect via USB to PC
*Run Update.exe
*Follow instructions in Update program.
*At the end you should see at device screen: "100% Upgrade OS Image Complete".
*After flashing press reset.
*Don't touch device, wait while "welcome screen" appear.
*Press screen, do calibration and start using device.
Good luck

To be sure that your MAgician is o.k. flash a ROM from your Provider. Also you can get Cotullas WWE3.03 ROM from here http://cotulla.pp.ru/Magician3.html
Be sure that you have Radio 1.12 on your Magician ! ! ! !

cum instalez radio 1.12? cum imi dau seama ca este instalat. please help me

Bricked Jasjam , plz help

Hi ,
I was flashing my jasjam using sspl-herm and a 6.1 rom ,
While upgrading the progress bar reached the end but it stayed saying upgrade in progress , it took too longer than normal and i knew it wouldnt continue so i soft resetted the phone ,
now it's stuck in the splash screen before even the windows loading.
Plz plz plz help....

if you can access bootloader
a) if you dont have hardspl installed already, install it or you're going to be screwed soon.
if you can access bootloader, pop the nbf file onto your microsd <2gb as HERMIMG.NBH insert it into the phone and follow onscreen instructions.
flashing via SD is always a safer bet anyway.

Hey ,
Thnx guys 4 help
1st I tried hard resetting and it didnt work
2nd I DONT have hard spl
3rd I get into bootloader , i plug the usb cable but i cant flash , the ruuwrapper program says error during upgrade , i think it cant access the phone first coz the mobile device icon in my computer is emtpy , second activesync says not connected(although it tries to) and device manager reads an " htc usb sync " drive but no letter or something
Still no luck , any help ??

I think I've got same problem..
It can't run again after splash screen..

How to fix an HD2 that Freezes at the splash screen and won't boot

HI,
I just had this problem and I saw that a ton of others had it too. It was where my phone would stop at the windows screen and not boot, and my PC wouldn't read the phone so I couldn't load a new rom or Hard SPL. How I fixed it was by getting my phone into bootloader mode, (the multi colored screen). Here's how to do it.
While phone is Off:
Hold Volume down & press power button
While phone is On
Hold Volume down & press Reset Button (meaning the little yellow button by the battery that you have to press with a pen to soft reset it)
Once your on the bootloader screen, plug your phone into your PC, you will hear the ding that the computer recognized it but your Windows Mobile desktop software will still say your not connected, don't worry about that,, you are connected. After that, just pick whatever rom you want, then just install it like normal. and it works. If your not running a rom, do the same but install hard SPL instead of a ROM.
I hope this helps,
As long as your phone turns on at least to the opening screen there is hope.
kn0t.

i had that problem, my phone was stuck on stock together splash screen, but I just called up tmo and they have sent me a new hd2.

Three words. I LOVE YOU! well not really since I'm not gay ha!
By the way This also works for the HTC Imagio!

Ok first off what ROM do you have and what SPL does it show when you are in the muticolor bootloader screen? Secound if you are trying to flash a ROM yse right clicking the .exe file and selecting run as adminastrator is a good idea. l

I had the same problem.. what usually helps for me is when it gets stuck.. pull out the battery and give it a solid 15-20 minutes.. and then turn it on and do nothing up until after it has booted

i do the battery thing but i cant go on doing this , i put a little txt or phone call and the phone goes bonkers and heats up,nightmare!
ok on the tri colour screen it says
PBB110 HX-BC
SPL-S.08.0000 8G XE
MICRO(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH)
SERIAL
AH!! just got into the boatloader screen !! by pressing volume up and down together~! rest it! but i need to wait cos ive pulled the battery again!!!

I am having the same issue. I had a android rom then was finally able to flash via sd the stock rom, but it would just freeze on splash screen when trying to boot. Now when I try to flash rom again it will start and freeze on 1%. Any suggestions?

Now when I try to load rom via usb it starts and then freezes on 1%. Then will say communication error and then when trying to boot phone it says software issue and now I cant even get a rom put back on! Please help lol

Ok try going to windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) , wich ever one you have to have for your computer, and install it on your computer as they have updated USB drivers for your HD2.

have you tried loading a rom from the root of your memory card LEOimg.nbh?

i have this problem too...but what is worse is after i went to splash screen and connect my phone to pc, my pc wont detect my hd2...so i cant flash a new rom...
ps : im on stock rom bought this almost 2 years ago if im not mistaken

You need to put your phone into bootloader then your computer will recognize it. Hold the volume down button down while you power on the phone and the multicolor bootloader will come up. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via your USB cable. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader changes to USB and then flash. If you go to the device manager of your computer while you see USB on your phone it should say HTC USB Sync if you want to be assured that you have a connection to flash with.
