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.

[Q] Problem mit flashing magldr versions

Hello...
I have a SD-bootable Android on a Dutty Windows ROM 6.5 with a working radio and HSPL 2.08. All perfectly working.
Now i want to go NAND and want to install MAGLDR. I start it as administrator, then i can select update and my phone goes straight from windows to bootloader. But after that i get the message that my workstation can't connect to my phone (althought boot loader says "USB"). I tried it directly from boot loader too and that too doesn't work (from there i can't even get the Update selection).
Could there be an issue with the Dutty ROM or has anyone else an explanation for this kind of behavior?! And is there anything i can do... maybe erase the whole ROM (HOW???) or anything?
Regards
Elmar

Is the error message by any chance "USB init failed"?

What version of Windows are you running? Also, do you have a firewall or antivirus application running? I have seen them interfere before and you could try temporarily disabling / deactivating them.

I have an antivirus (AVG), but it is only on Android, which i am not accessing when updating. As i said i tried from windows (6.5) and the update took me to the boot loader but then the windows application is trying to connect and then gets no connect and this error message appears :
"Error (260)
Check the following :
1. PDA Phone is connected via USB
2. USB cable is connected to the workstation"
And it is connected, which you can the on the fact, that the update is running my phone into the bootloader, but then i get stuck on 0% and after that the error message appears.

What you want to do is try disabling the allow usb option in active sync. Do this after you install magldr but before you try to flash the rom. This seems to fix the problem.

Hello again...
I am so sorry to have bothered you with my nonsense.
From the workstation i tried (which i strangely flashed all other ROM's before and had no problems) there had been missing the driver for the boot loader which pretty simple explains my problems here (Do'h).
Tried it from a workstation with internet connection and eureka, the driver installed and i could install magldr afterwards.
Thx for all your support and sorry for my homer-like thinking for not checking that before.
P.S. Any of you any recommandations for a good NAND ROM. I think i am going to try MDJ's CyanogenMod7. Or has anyone tried various and come to another good ROM?
Regards

detection problem

hello
Im owner of O2 recently
other day I wanted to change PDA-ROM in my O2 and I used your flashing guide to do it
but on last step , when Octans shold detect my Omnia , it does not
I think that might be a driver problem because when I want to change the drivers for O2 to special drivers for win7 x32 bit
system only shows me a message that newest drivers are already installed - even with driver enforcement OFF
what to do ??
p.s. sorry for my english
I managed to install proper drivers
but now Octans hangs when I plug O2 to PC
I have that triangle in download mode but nothing happens

MAGLDR driver was not sucessfully installed

I have been flashing my HTC HD2 EU model without issue for weeks now, i have had many different versions of android on and had no problems carrying out all the steps, but after reinstalling windows i am unable to get the MAGLDR drivers to install it appears as an "other device" in device manager with error code 28 (no driver installed)
I have HSPL 2.08 installed. and radio 2.15.50.14
Heres what i have tried:
-install/remove HTC Sync
-install Windows Mobile Device Centre
-installed Android SDK and google driver revision 4
I have booted into bootloader and attempted to reinstall the radio AND HSPL, but the bootloader also shows as an "other device" and it does not show "usb" on the screen, so when i run "romupdateutility" i get connection error 260..
i am fresh out of ideas i have spent nearly a week and half googling the problem is as many ways as possible and nothing even remotely helpful has come up, if i boot into CWM i can mount the SD card and i can install (some) ROMS, but only ones that use the same partition layout i am currently using and i cant use any others because i cannot flash the partition layout.
Theres not an issue with the phone because i have a computer at work and it all works fine there, just wont work on my home laptop
any ideas?
*update* i have read a few people with a similar (not exactly the same) issue are he owners of bricked HD2's my device DOES work it works fine but just wont install this bloody driver so i can never flash another ROM and i dont know why. 36 views and NOONE has an answer?

in WMDC make sure 'allow usb connections' is unticked.

Thanks for that mate your a lifesaver that got it to install the device driver for MAGLDR, but i still couldnt get the bugger to flash via USB, strangely killing ADB in task manager solved this and i am not able to flash. Problem solved!

Has anyone found the resolution? I am also facing the same problem and because of this, I even cannot use Android Debugging.
Any help?

MAGLDR 1.13, USB flasher and activesync: not working

I have the following hardware/software:
HTC HD2 with Nexus HD Gingerbread (something like that, flashed latest version some month ago), Norwegian phone
MAGLDR 1.13
Two PCs with windows 7, 64 bit
Windows mobile device center 6.1
Yesterday I decided I wanted to check if it was possible to have both my Android build (which I like a lot, thank you tytung!) and windows mobile 6.5, stock rom. Don't go into detail on whether this "dual boot" works or not, my problem is solely with flashing..
As far as I've come to understand I should be able to establish an activesync connection to my computer, then run the normal executable from HTC containing the stock ROM. The problem is, I'm unable to estabish an activesync connection.
1. I boot into magldr menu by holding down the power button for a sufficient amount of time
*** Menu shown ***
2. Select USB flasher, plug in USB
*** Says "Waiting for USB connection...", then, after some seconds, appends "USB" to the end of the line ***
3. Try to start Windows Mobile Device Center
*** "No connection" shown. ***
4. Entered sync center, tried "establish new sync partnership"
*** Phone is not shown in list over available sync partners ***
5. Been trying to reinstall drivers by navigating into device manager.
*** Computer reinstalls driver on repeat on step 2, but no different behavior ***
6. Tried to use command prompt, enter device manager with hidden items visible
*** did not help (no invisible drivers found) ***
7. Tried to boot into bootloader with USB connection by holding <vol down> for a sufficient amount of time on boot
*** Same behavior, but detects different hardware (qualcomm CDMA blablabla..) ***
8. Changed USB cables
*** Same behavior ***
My last "common factor" in my setup is my two 64 bit identical OSs, maybe it's a problem here but..
Hope you can help, also help us Norwegians hold hands if you got the time:

MAGLDR USB Flasher or TriColor-Bootloader will NEVER connect to ActiveSync!
Connection is only schown in deviece manager in Win7 under Mobile Devices->Microsoft USB Sync (MAGLDR USB Flasher) or Mobile Devices->HTC USB Sync (TriColor-Bootloader).

Oh no.. Even though I did all that reading I missed out on that part <.<
But all flashing requires an activesync connection.. (At least windows mobile stock rom does), so how is this to be done? Is it supposed to work by entering usb flasher and then run the stock rom update file?
Is it possible to have both windows mobile 6.5 and an android build on the phone simultaneously at all?

ActiveSync connection is only needed if you are flashing under win mobile.
If you want to flash a stock rom U have to do this from TriColor-Bootloader or a .nbh via sd-card, otherwise it will not work!
You can flash a WM-rom and install an android sd-build...but both to the same time on device is a no-go.

Allright, thanks mister.

explain 'it wont work' , , , , , ''it wont work'' is one of the most useless sentences, and it gets used here daily.
In what way doesn't it work? what error does it give?

I can fix if your details match mine
I have just had the same experience with my hd2, and i figured it out.
Now, im using a T-Mobile UK HD2 512mb, I loaded the latest rom found on htc's website 'Tmobile UK RUU 3.14'.
I had to first use HSPL4 and flash my phone with the 3.06.0000 (its like that, there's only 2 numbers, other is 2.0 somthing, and not the hspl, the one ending in .0000. Sorry for a poor reply but its all off the top of my head =P)
When flashing I used the tri-colour screen (vol down and power buttons)
After that had flashed, i re-entered the tri-colour screen and opened the RUU.
From that it worked fine and on my way to another android rom.
I have done this a few times in the past but not for some time, hence my confusion.
Again, apologies for the mess of the reply but the gist is there
Hope it can be of some help
