Error 260 on SVP M3100 HERM100

Hi, I hope someone out there can shed some light onto this problem. This is what I have: Orange SVP M3100; Operator: 14.123.1.614; ROM Ver.: 1.23.61.4; ROM Date: 07/13/06; Radio Ver.: 1.06.00.00; Protocol Ver.: 32.37.7010.01H.
I've downloaded and successfully (I think) flashed Hard-SPL-V7.
Bootloader used to read: HERM100; IPL-1.01; SPL-1.04.
Bootloader now reads: HERM100; IPL-1.04; HERM100; SPL-210.Olipro.
The phone still works and syncs. properly, but when I try running SPV_M3100ROMUpdate_0407, it eventually returns Error 260 (Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.) This happens in Vista Ultimate and in XP Pro.
The program will go as fare as identifying the current image as Ver.: 1.23.61.4 and suggests to replace it with image Ver.: 2.11.61.1 however, when I click on OK, it puts the phone into Bootloader mode, disconnects the USB connection and unable to reconnect again. After this I have to do a soft reset and everything goes back to normal.
I'd very much appreciate any ideas to help me get around this conundrum. Many thanks.

put device into bootloader and try flashing from there, otherwise try sd card

OK, I could not flash from Bootloader either; same error message.
Extracted the SVP_M3100ROMUpdate_0407.exe onto the SD card.
Ended up with the following files: EnterBL.exe; GetDeviceData.exe; README.doc; ROMUpdateUt.exe; RUU.dll; RUUUI.dll; RUU_signed.nbh.
None of the above files will run on the PDA. What do I do next? Sorry for being such a novice and thanks again.

Correct, the files are not run from the device.
The hermes wiki has the directions for flashing from an SD card, go check it out.

Thanks for that jdc. I found the information you have suggested and here is what I did so fare:
-Formatted the SD card.
-Renamed the ROM image file to HERMING.nbh
-Inserted the SD card with the renamed image file into the phone.
-Restarted the phone and confirmed that it was reading from the card.
-Put the phone into Bootloader mode by pressing PWR+OK+Reset.
The multi-colour Bootloader screen comes up and nothing else happens. I'd tried pressing the PWR button just in case, but it had no effect.
Any more ideas? THANKS!

SPV m3100 upgrade - error 260 - connection drops when allowing enterBL.exe to run on
Hi - am going through the same process to upgrade my SPV m3100.
I've followed Mr Vanx's guides to the letter - ROM update from 1.23.61.4 to Hard-SPL-2.1 - as soon as i click 'yes' on the phone to allow enter.BL.exe to run - the connection between phone and laptop immediately drops.
I've tried using different USB ports as suggested in different threads = but to no avail
Am running Vista Home Premium.
I'm a novice so sorry for sounding stupid - any help would be really appreciated.

I had the same error until I disabled the phone lock. Worked ok after that

I had this problem for awhile, and I'm using Vista. I can't remember the problem to explain it, but I did one of 3 things to fix it.
1. Follow Mr Vanx's Vista Guide. The most important part is downloading his attached drivers and getting Vista to detect your phone as an "HTC USB Device" or "HTC USB Sync" or something like that.
2. Then I would recommend installing the official ATT Rom, you can download it off of HTC's website.
3. Install Schaps Advanced Config cab, and disable "security warnings"
After this done, you should be able to install a cooked rom from here.

Problems flashing hspl2_1024 **solved**

Hi all, I'm a total noob at this but I've read every possible thread about the Tmous 1024 HD2 concerning flashing hspl2_1024 and the error code that says failed usb connection.
My problem is a bit different from the others' problems but I'll try to be as thorough as I can.
Let me start off first by listing my phone and all of its "stats"
TMOUS HTC HD2
Ram - 576MB
Flash - 1024MB (I'm guessing that this is the ROM size)
OS version - 5.2.21889
Manila Version - 2.5.20121412.1
ROM version - 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Radio Version - 2.08.50.08_2
SPL - 2.08.0000
I'm at the very beginning of the process (flashing the hspl). I've read mskips tutorial backwards and forwards several times.
The first problem is that WDMC doesnt pop-up when the phone syncs with the comp. Matter fact, the green WMDC screen has never shown up on my comp., not even when I go into the start menu and click WMDC (I've tried every usb port on the comp and have visited microsofts website and downloaded and installed their WMDC a few times). All that comes up when I click WMDC is the connection settings that says Device connected.
The second problem is that when i click the next screen on the hspl2 install window, I get an error window that says something about rapi.dll not being able to be found (i get that error twice and then it seems to resume installing).
Following that, I get the usb failed connection error (a couple minutes later) and hspl2_1024 closes down. My HD2 never goes to the tri-color bootloader screen. I've tried going into the bootloader screen prior to installing hspl2_1024 but that didnt work either.
I'm completely stumped and have searched this forum for the answers to no avail. I've done a hard reset and tried again, but that didnt work. The only thing I havent tried is putting the hspl2 on my sd card and doing it from there, which from what I've read over the past few days is basically considered a no no.
I need help and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Would have pictures but the forum wont allow me to post any.

Flashing TMO HD2
Back up all data on your phone before flashing.
This is what I did and worked.
Assuming you purchased the HD2 in the US from TMOBILE.
1. Change your sync settings on your phone to use Active Sync not the usb.
2. Plug in your device to your computer. Hopefully it recognizes your phone. (If it doesn't then you might need to re-install the windows mobile device center)
3. Once connected run HSPL2_1024. Follow instructions there and should connect. Your phone should have the RGB screen. HSPL program will prompt you which version you want to install. I used 1.0 as it was the only selection
4. When completed it should say something with "HACKED"
5. Reset your phone by taking out the battery for 5 seconds.
6. Once it's powered on it should connect through Windows Mobile Device Center.
7. Now it's time to flash your custom ROM. Hopefully you have the CustomRUU.exe file together with the nbh file.

Mine never comes up either,
click start and start typing 'windows mobile .....' in teh search box and you should see it come up in the list. (round green icon)
either right click that and choose pin to start menu or drag it to the desktop as a link, then you can start it manually. You should find that once you are using it, it starts to come up on its own 'most' of the time.

never mind it seems my computer is to blame... issue solved!

Help on upgrading HTC P3300

Hi all.
I have been reading in the forum for hours and hours, without beeing able to find an easy way (that I understand) on how to upgrade.
I am an old (retired) man, and not stupid (I hope) but have a slight consentration problem.
I want to upgrade from WM5.0 to Windows Mobile 6.1
(+Opera Mini, support for 8GB SDHC and TomTom 7)
I have: a HTC P3300 ARTE100
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.0.0
ROM version: 1.12.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 9/12/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version: 1.12.405.101
The device is not locked (I belive) because I can use any SIM I want in the phone.
I have tried to flash to SPL 1.11.cmon, but ended up with SPL 1.11.0000
So I downloaded and installed HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP This put my phone back to original, (SPL 1.12.0000)
Synced and copied enablerapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab Disconnected, and ran both of them.
I tried to run start_uspl.exe, but it will only try to update from current rom ver. 1.12.405.1 to ver.9.99
And after a while I get a message on my P3300:
Unable to open log file....
tiny_console_init done
And ROM ver. is back to SPL 1.12.0000
Suggestions anyone?

ok pm me and i will walk you though.
first update to the newest version of active sync thought.
next make sure your device is fully charged.
next back up all data from your device. flashing a new rom will erase all data.
next cid unlock read the first post and download the attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
after you have done this pm me.
as for opera just download one of the many prepacked opera cabs. here is a link to one that should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=281464&d=1266292843
to my limited knowledge of sdhc support and the p3300 all of the cooked roms have sdhc support cooked in. so when you get a newer rom on your phone sdhc should work.

Arggggh
I can use any SIM in my phone. Is CID unlock really neccesary?
I downloaded pof's Artemis_USPL and ran it, but it seems nothing was changed.
I too wants to change the ROM ver. from 1.12.405.1 to ver. 9.99
And the link to: HTC P3300 WWE factory rom - is dead.
But I found HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP another place.
I have also found and downloaded AndreW82_WM6.1_21056_Lite_v1.4_WWE.nbh
But am afraid to try to install it since my ROM is not ver. 1.11.cmon.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Downloaded Artemis_USPL
Synced and copied enablerapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab
Disconnected, and ran both of them.
Booted and Synced.

my spl is 1.11.cmon so cid is already done and has been for a year, i have flashed several roms so i am not a noob at flashing..
the connection from my pc to artemis dsconnected during flash and now in bootloader.. it wont flash from sd..
i know how to use the mtty commands coz iv used it before, but cant remember how to get it to select USB from the 'port' menu..
*how do you get it to select usb?
i know how to use mtty but cant remember

Ai... I'm sorry man, I've never flashed an Artemis before and I don't have the tools to do it either. Maybe you should ask in #xda-dev on IRC?

...
I.m doing something wrong, but don't know what.
Phone on - connecting USB - phone syncs.
Start start_uspl.exe - at 100% screen goes white.
Softresetting - waiting for sync - then confirming on PDA Phone Update Utility.
(The uspl.zip i got from raving_nanza)
After it has finnished, phone boots - and I still have USPL ver. 1.12.0000

Hi
Tought I should not try to install the .nbh file if USPL was not 1.11.cmon.
Btw:
One of the first steps is to take out the SD-card. Is that what I am doing wrong?
(Should I copy the AndreW82xxxx.nbh to my SD, and have it installed when I run the uspl/RUU?)

...
this is 1.11.cmon.. just try it..

...
take out sd card..
dont flash andrews rom..
do uspl with the one ive just uploaded on this thread..

This is obviously where I miss something.
the RUU_signed is a .nbh file.
So how do I start it?
Should I use activesync and put it on the phone and some how start it from there?
Or should I put it in the same folder as the uspl cmon, and then run the uspl?
Or is there another trick that I have missed?

put it in the uspl folder and overwrite the one inside..
then do uspl..

(I am using XP sp3.)
(But this time it at least tried to update from 1.12.0000 to 1.11.nosize)
I also tried renaming the ruu_signed to arteimg.nbh
Seems my phone has some kind of lock on the SPL 1.12.0000.
Can it be write-protected in some way?
And if so, how can I "unlock" the write protection?

Asuming SR means SoftReset - I tried, but it did not help.

So I tried again, and again.
Cert_SPCS.cab and enablerapi.cab without disconnecting nor syncing the phone.
Then start_uspl.exe, and on white screen I just started (or rather continued with) the RUU.
WOOHOO - on 3. attempt my SPL changed to 1.11.cmon
So, if you read this post, and have the same problem as I had, here is how to do it:
Download attached file, unzip it, and read the install.txt

I have a slight consentration problem, so I forgot that I am only half way.
I have downloaded a couple of .nbh files (AndreW82, Touch 4.02, Tom Black v5.0).
I have not yet decided wich one to use.
I want to install TomTom7 and Opera Lite + support for 8GB SDHC.
Now I just have to figure out how to install one of the .nbh files.

Cant get into magldr112, device hangs

I am upgrading to the wp7 rom, my radio is 2.8x, I have installed magldr112 via the DFT cab file, device restarts and then hangs on the start up screen.
I know ive read about this here on the forums but cant seem to find the post again.
Could someone help please before I go crazy?!
Cheers

I had a problem like this and found it was something to do with the PC I was installing it from. I install the whole thing again on another PC and it worked fine.
The 2 main differences with the PC was one was Vista 32bit and the other was 7 64bit.
Not sure if this is relevant at all but I hope it helps.

Did you find you had the same issue on a 64?

I've just tried on a 32 bit machine and still the same.
I was using energizer 6.5.x rom and now it hangs on the NRG boot screen.
Getting worried now!

Any ideas? I've been sat here for nearly an hour trying to resolve this. I cant be the only one surely?

Nope, I'm stuck at the same step.
Can re-install MAGLDR112, but it always just re-starts and get stuck at the white htc screen.

Actually I'm past that bit...woohoo!
Reset the device back to the loader and installed an updated radio (Radio_2.10.50.19_2.zip) and now it boots into the MAGLDR112.
Give that a go mate.

Do you have installed HSPL208?
MAGLDR won't work with HSPL142 or HSPL166 (stop at white screen)

I'm not sure. WP7 couldn't see my SD card anyway (look in "about" in settings to see available memory) and I found other posts suggesting removing the SD card will allow Wifi to work.
I'm searching now to see if I can get an SD card that will actually work. Has anyone actually got an SD card working in a WP7 HD2?

Well, on first setup i was able to use wifi, but now it doesnt connect. I can see the router/s but refuses to connect.
this is infuriating.

Switch your router off, then back on. same happened to me, but was able to connect after doing that.

MAC-adress
Everytime i reboot my device i get a new MAC-address.
the first 6 chars are still the same 00:18:41:... but the last 6 changes after every reboot. I Think that is the problem why you can't connect to WIFI-network.
(sorry for my bad english)

Ive tried resetting my router and even reflashed the whole phone to no avail.
Im wondering how I can upgrade to the latest radio version without activesync

1. Put your stock rom ruu_signed.nbh on sd card as LEOIMG.nbh (<4gb card)
2. Reflash that by holding vol down - hspl.
3. Reboot and dont got into it - goto new (old) spl.
4). Connect and do HSPL3_PKG.exe, We hacked it. Best to NOW change your drivers to MTTY drivers (first point you can as hspl rapitool doesnt recognize them so change to unsigned drivers now) and connect then do:
task 28 55aa
task 29
task 8 (which is reboot)
YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT WHEN FLASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER or you end up with fk hd2 with too many bad blocks in nand and screwed partitions.
5.) Now re-do your radio with latest by replacing LEOIMG.nbh with ruu_signed.nbh from radio rar/zip. = ie 2.15 radio and vol-down reboot hspl again.
6) Now replace LEOIMG.nbh with MAGLDR 112 .nbh as LEOIMG.nbh on sd and
YOU ARE DONE.
7) Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get LIVE.
Before doing dwi.exe PROPERLY: make a fake data.zip with EMPTY (ie: notepad make 0kb .txt files then rename part00.bin, part01.bin, ALL THE WAY TO part07.bin and save these into data.zip (rename real data.zip data.bak or whatever).
Then flash with dwi.exe so this CLEANS OUT PARTITIONS COMPLETELY with ZEROES.

Thanks for your extensive answer but guess what? Thats right, still no wifi.
It worked on first boot, i was able to sync my contacts, go on facebook etc so must be something that has happened since then or during restarts.

You can always HEX-Edit the partitions going to nand for Wp7 and change MAC.

[Q] Should I flash it or no??? Help please

So my HTC Blackstone is going crazy.I changed battery & touch screen and after that cam went crazy.I saw all kinds of colou's on cam but that's not a problem because I use it rarely.What bothers me is that I locked myself out of it.I was setting up screen password early in morning and I don't know what did I typed in.How can I solve this???
I'm thinking to flash it but when I was looking at flashing instructions I saw that I need to Sync it with my computer in Windows Mobile Device Center.But I cant sync it since I cant log into the system.I installed all drivers on my PC and when I connect it via USB it detects it automatically.
I wanted to reset HTC to factory defaults but I cant I did Hard Reset but when I do it I come to that 3 color screen and cant go further than that.
When HTC is disconnected and I'm in 3 color screen on the bottom it says "Serial",when I connect it to USB it says USB.
So basically I'm stuck and I need advice,what to do???
Can I flash it without sync it with Windows Mobile Device Center???
Or is there other way around this problem!
Thank you in advance for your help! :good:

For flashing a new ROM, there is no need to sync with Windows Mobile Device Center. However, you will need Microsoft .Net 3.5 SP1 to connect to Blackstone. I am guessing you are using Vista or Win 8, so you may have to do a separate install for it.
I recommend that you use a ROM from this thread, which is the most updated on this website. I am using it, and it is very stable. I had used the Android version, and it is user and finger friendly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719627
Caution: Make sure Blackstone has at least 70% battery-life
Step 1. Update HSPL to 1.56 Olinex
1a. You will need to update the HSPL (effectively, unlocking your phone) to 1.56 Olinex. Follow the instructions found in the above thread, under a heading:
Dummies guide flashing 1.56+ roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
1b. Follow the instructions very strictly. It can get tricky, but it is worth the effort.
Step 2. Download custom ROM
2a. Go to the Download site, and in Mediafire site, go to the folder:
0.77_WM_653_WEH_Orange_ROM
2b. Inside the folder, you will find this ROMs for download, for example:
ORANGE ROM [1-October-2013] - 0.77 [Full - Cookie 2.0_Android] WM6.5.3 WEH.zip
2c. Download this file and extract the files.
BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
RUU_Signed.nbh
