Hello,
I have my shift installed with Windows 7 Professional and everything working great (including Shift control Center). I want to liberate my ROM, and I've decided to go by golum ROM. When I run the program under W7, after checking SnapVUE, software generate: Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again,
I've tried many tricks, nothing work. I mention that I don't have at this stage the 3G card inside the Shift.
Please advice,
I also get the following message when I login to Windows:
"data connection failed. Please check your APN settings."
Have you already liberated your Shift?
I don't think you can flash any custom ROM's before you have. If you have not, look at this thread
Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update U
Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again,
HI, HEPPENED THE SAME WITH ME. MY SHIFT IS LIBERATE AND DONT CHANGE ROM WITH WINDOWS 7. ITS SAY : Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again.
PLEASE!! HELP US !!!1
THANKS,

I had this, to cure it, unlike in Vista, you have to have an active WMDC connection. On the WMside use the USB tool and connect it to 7, on the 7 side let the device be found and set up WMDC. Once this is done you should be able to flash once again.
I don't thinks so.
He's flashing a ROM.
@DeReSe : did you not only liberate, but also HSPL your device ?
DISABLE USB connections in Windows mobiile device center.
Then run USB tool on the SnapVue side, then start ROM update.
But, you need HSPL first
any solutions to this error?
Solved!!
Whoa!! long have i waited to solve this issue...finally did it!
here's what worked for me:
1) MOST IMPORTANT!!
In snapview side:
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB To PC -> UNTICK "allow advanced network connections" (or something like that...)
2) Download & Install WMDC 6.1 (you can google WMDC 6.1)
Now you can continue as usual:
3) Enable USB Tool on snapview side, and wait for WMDC to recognize the connection.
4) If you only want to flash a custom rom, you can just choose "connect with setting up my device (or something like that...).
5) That's It!! You can now continue to flash your favorite rom to your shift.
(so happy i got this solved !!! )
Hope this helps...Njoy (-!
Hi,
I tried updating i00 rom to light ROM using the method above but still gets the error :-(...I hope we can find another way...
Thanks
SOLVED!
Hi. I think I closed this case!
I got the same problem with my Shift. When I started to flash I got "error 260: connection".
HOWTO:
WinMo: USB tool -> attach
Win: Start flashing ROM
Win: ... -> ERROR 260
Win: Right click My Computer -> manage -> devices -> find your "Shift device" without driver -> right click -> update driver -> automatically -> wait until driver has been updated
Win: Start flashing again
Voilá

Hello,
Just upgraded my 8525 to the latest and greatest ROM. Well ... greatest should really be within quotes!!!
I'm having 2 problems ...
#1) I cannot use my phone thru DUN. I select Internet Sharing. Disable ActiveSync on my PC. Select PC Connection as USB and Network Connection as My ISP GPRS. When I connect the USB cable, I immediately get a message box that New Hardware has been found (Generic RNDIS). Windows (XP-SP2) then prompts me to install the drivers. I click Next but it does not find them and throws an error that Drivers could not be found. I've searched the internet and HTC sites in vain, but cannot find anything that helps.
#2) When I connect my device using ActiveSync (4.5), I cannot get the device to use ActiveSync as a pass-thru for the internet. This results in any calls made to the internet to fail.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm back on the road on Tuesday and need to get this resolved.
Thanks

Mike,
I had tried that earlier today but it did not work. I unzipped the file and pointed the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location. When I click Next it searches and finally returns with "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I'm confused. Aren't the Remote NDIS drivers part of the ActiveSync install? What am I missing here?
-- Val
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I also have the same Problem but a different situation
I would like to tether with my phone which I can do with no problem on most computers. However I have a corporate laptop that I cannot install activesynch on...So i just need the driver to install when I connect my phone via USB.
So i get the same error as the guys above me...so any fix to this problem that does not involve installing activesync would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I had the same problem, but I resolved it.
First, install Activesync 4.5.
Second, when you plug your device and it ask you for the driver generic RNDIS driver, you can choose the place of this driver (don't choose automatic).
So point the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Drivers
Then Ok (or next I don't remember)! After windows'd install alone the good driver.
Enjoy your synchronization!
Bye bye
Upgrade ActiveSync

When I used ActiveSync 3.7, this version can not recognize Generic RNDIS. I’d upgrade this version into ActiveSync 4.5, its work.

Generic RNDIS Error for Windows 2003
Hi Guys,
I am also facing the same problem but I am using windows 2003 server.
I am using HTC Touch phone. Please help me out with some solutions.

I had this same problem with my HTC Touch Cruise. Here's what solved it:
Go to Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Uncheck Enable advanced network functionality
Then the computer sees your mobile and sync begins (at least for me).
Something worth trying...
If you look at the driver settings for "Windows Mobile Device" under WinXP it shows a file called:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\rndismpx.sys
I'm wondering if the rndismpx.sys file is all one needs to use to install the driver so that WinXP will see the WM phone as a viable device and therefore allow you to use it's Internet Connection Sharing function to give the PC a data connection to the net?

Ok I too had this problem, and refuse to use active sync as it always muck up my special clock settings. This is what fixed it for me.
As i DO have active sync installed on my desktop system, and taking the advice of the persom who posted above, i just copied the "DRIVERS" folder onto a disk (From \Programme files\Microsoft Activesync), took that to the laptop i needed to install on, and installed the driver manually, pointing to the DRIVERS folder on th CD i just made. All installed, and "Pinging" nicely!

Yep, that did the trick for me. And this was after spending two hours on live chat with AT&T which was useless.
Thanks. Who knows how long I would have been dinking along looking for a clue.

I'm having sam problem with windows 7 64bit, and couldn't find solition, can t upgrade my rom...
Yesterday i tried to upgrade rom of my Qtek S200 device. I uploader temp rom after that when it comes to installation of wm6 rom my device could not connect to my pc via ActiveSync. I have Windows XP. When i plug the device to my pc it shows an error message : ""There was a problem installing this hardware Windows Mobile-based Device" What can i do please help me...
Put the device in bootloader, and flash a new WM5 NVID ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery
but i cannont connect my device with activesync when i try that it tries to find a driver. finds a driver and installs that but after that "There was a problem installing this hardware Windows Mobile-based Device" message appears and i can not connect my device to pc.
can i upgrade roms with Windows Vista?
Uninstall active sync. Restart. Re install activesync. Restart. Then put your device into bootloader. Disable connect through USB in active sync and then connect the device and PC and then try to flash a WM5 ROM.
Vista won't work with upgrading because of the drivers.
I had just write a post in my thread about this. I have the same problem intalling the device in PC.
Before I had put the actual ROM in my phone, I went to bootloader and inserted another ROM in this case an official one... right now I cannot go to bootloader . Do I have to do a HardSPL!? probably this is the solution for quaschi!
We wait for the opinion of more experienced members!
Connecting my device to my windows 7 pc does jack ****. Every time it tries to install some 'Generic Driver Serial', which then fails, and WMDC doesn't connect. I don't know why. Similarly, on the device activesync there is no option to 'sync', just bull**** about making sure i have synchronization software. WMDC seems to be a large step BACK from activesync.
You could try to change the "Enable advanced network functions"-setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> USB to PC.
I had the same problem and this helped.

Automatic updates needs to download an "optional" update for HTC devices... Connect Hermes and do an update... Seems to be a mongrel to do but works fine once its installed...
i had that same error on my cousins hermes. what i did i went to device manager and updated the driver and it worked
now all i gotta do is find a way to get internet sharing to work
hey guys,
i gave windows phone 7 a try for some days, but now want to come back to android NAND.
Problem is that i can not flash the rom. i go into magldr, choose usb flasher, phone says wait USB...USB. i start install.exe and the android flasher hangs at "waiting for usb connection..." it fails with error description: usb init failed.
i flashed a win mobile 6.5 and started from the very beginning with new radio, reinstall magldr, format sd card...but still the same error!
can anyone help me please?
When you get the USB...USB appear, turn off USB connections with ActiveSync or WMDC. For some reason, it needs to be enabled to make the connection, but disabled to work!
Hope this helps.
hey,
thanks for reply...unfortunately it has no effect!
I am running WinXP, can this be the problem? But the Installer for Windows Phone 7 ROM, which looks predominantly the same for me, has no problems to establish the connection...i can start it right after the error message from android installer and it works...
i also tried another android NAND but comes to the same end. seems that i am forced to decide between winmobile 6.5 oder 7...no android anymore
It shouldn't be a problem. I did the same as you, but it worked fine for me. I flashed from WP7 straight to a NAND Android ROM, and I have XP as well.
Strange that disabling USB connections in ActiveSync didn't work, as I can reproduce the issue 100% and fix it 100% with that 1 setting.
I do know that lots of people have been reporting issues with the "usb init failed" error, so I guess you'll have to do some searching and reading.
what do you mean with disable usb connection in active sync? i could not find any icon in taskbar for active sync, so i killed every task with belongs to active sync?
hope the effect was the same
i will try it on another pc, maybe some adjustments are wrong on mine after flashing that lot...or i will come back to win phone 7 and try to flash android straight to that, just like you! hope one of it will work
Make sure ActiveSync is running and right-click it in the system tray and select "Connection settings". Make sure "Allow USB connections" is ticked. Then, start Magldr menu, select USB flasher and connect. It should say "USB...USB". When it does, reopen the connection settings for ActiveSync and turn off "Allow USB connections". You should then be able to flash Android.
Thanks for patience...you are the fu**ing man!!! IT WORKS!!! Thanks a lot...
But...what a mistake? who should know to unckeck that in active sync...
"The Devil is plugged in the Detail" we say in german free translation of me
Saved my day...thanks

You're welcome mate. Glad you got it working
Installed BsBTweaks on my HTC HD2, but now ActiveSync won't connect to my phone. PC O/S is Win XP SP2. I'm running WinMo 6.5 and have the latest ROM for the device from my provider, version 3.14.531.1. I get the message: "Critical communication services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again." I haven't yet made any changes to the device using BsBTweaks, I only installed it. Have tried rebooting the phone to no avail. I have to use Disk Drive mode to get at the pictures on my SD card. Is there a way to get ActiveSync working again? I'd probably donate to the developers if this problem could get corrected and I can reasonably figure to keep and use BsBTweaks. Thanks.

Restarted the PC - worked like a charm. Thanks a million. I can breathe again.

Troubleshooting Sync Connection with Your Computer
You can often solve any temporary sync connection problems by disconnecting your phone from the sync cable, waiting a few seconds, and then reconnecting it. However, sometimes you may experience persistent problems related to your network connection (for example, your Internet connection). You may be unable to sync your phone while there is an active network connection on your computer, or the network connection may be cut when you connect your phone to your computer. If this happens, you can try switching to a serial USB connection for your phone:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab.
2. Tap Menu > All Settings > Connections > USB to PC.
3. Clear the Enable faster data synchronization check box.
4. Tap Done.
