[SOLVED] Connection Error [262]. Stuck in bootloader (tri color) mode.

I'm new in these forums as well I'm new with flashing ROMs so obviously I messed up flash process and my device stuck in bootloader (tri-color) mode. This post I address to those unfortunate like me .
# Symptoms #
- ROM flash started and stopped at 17%. After recovery flash process stucks at 0% and pops Connection Error 262. Device is stuck in bootloader mode not possible to flash anything, hard reset does not help, flash from SD card does not help either.
# Possible cause for that #
1. In bootloader mode device shows:
Code:
Pola100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
means that Hard SPL was not flashed before flashing ROM file (if Hard SPL was flashed then in second line will be written SPL-2.20.Olinex.).
2. Connection between ActiveSync and device was not established when flashing ROM file.
Before to go any further please take your time and read Polaris Wiki to get familiar with glossary and acronyms used here.
PROCEED ONLY if flashing original ROM does not help, hard reset does not help and flash from SD card does not work.
# Solution #
1. Download MTTY software.
2. Kill ActiveSync (Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe processes).
3. Plug Polaris into usb port (Plug directly not through hubs).
4. Start MTTY after chose USB from PORT dropdown list (if it is not listed there then ActiveSync processes were not stopped).
5. in window type: set 16 0 (enter cmd mode)
6. after type: task 8 (this will format phone)
7. after type: task 0 (this will restart phone. Not always necessary)
8. soft reset
This procedure can damage your phone. Use it as last resort.
Official source in french here.
Now before flashing any ROMs read carefully how to flash (not install!) Hard SPL.
# P.S. about install and flash termins #
This error with flashing happened to my due misunderstanding between notions of installing something on your device and flashing. In my opinion those are completely two different things. As for first I understand of running some cab or exe directly on device. So problem comes when people sees install Hard SPL en device as they try to find some cabs or exes to install directly on device or they just copy all files to device. To make things clear Hard SPL "installation" actually is ROM flash process which must be done with maximum caution, but those who did not read Wiki won't understand it.
Cheers, whitealien

BiG THX @ Whitealien.
works to 100% on my Touch Cruise.
I flashed under Vista Ultimate...
# Solution # ... addition from me for Vista users!
....
2. Start Windows Mobile Device Center and Deaktivate USB Connection and then start Task manager end kill
Process wmdc.exe.
Rest of whitealien. and have fun!

Thank you!!!!
I had given up on this, and was sure my only option was a warranty repair :O

always welcome

Thanks, you've saved my Polaris.
Mine didn't want to react anymore to the soft reset, so I replaced your instruction 8 with:
Cmd>boot
and that did the trick.

I had exactly the same problem, for whatever reason went back to original SPL before HARD SPL.
I solved my issue by using back the original original HTC RUU_signed.nbh and flash it using the CustomRUU.
Thereafter, repeat the entire HARD SPL and flash the home cooked ROM.
Cheers.

For unbricking your HTC Polaris, you can try also a hard-reset (if it is related to a software error):

you are welcome.
Seems people are still falling for this error.

I'm has this error.
Solution (with SPL-2.20):
- kill ActiveSync (process, not uninstall)
- cable to USB on motherboard
- hard reset on phone
- connect to cable
- flash OFFICIAL rom
Two time I revive my Polaris.

[170] USB Connection Error

I tried to root my Magic however it has perfected SPL 1.76.2008 so I tried the goldcard method but I only managed to change the firmware from 1.6 to 1.5. I cannot use fastboot so now I'm trying to install a new RUU so that I can follow the steps to install CM however I get the USB error (on windows 7).
I already tried reinstalling the latest HTC Sync and that seems to recognise my phone but when I open the Setup for RUU, Sync doesnt recognise it anymore until I close setup and replug USB. And yes, I inserted the goldcard already. Any help is appreciated.

I have pretty much the same problem here, but I do not have a goldcard (which I dont thing its necessary). When I try to transfer some file to my phone, it starts and after a couple of seconds, unplug from storage mode (Robot turns green again :[ ).
I have Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS and Windows 7 32bit.
Even over wifi, this happens. Seems to me thats some storage problem with the rom, but cyanogenmod is widely used and tested.
Can someone help us?

Debugging on?

Of course, I followed every single step correctly maybe theres a problem with windows 7.

On linux now and had forgotten this. Reread everything from the beginning and recalled that I've had issues with the drivers from HTC Sync driver not working when I had downgraded my G1.
The "official" google sdk driver covers all builds and modes (RUU uses adb mode.) Maybe try reinstalling with them instead?

[Q] Flashing rom for htc touch HD

hey guys..hope to be in a good health
this is my first theard ever here.. and honstly i found xda more useful,more likly to me rather than any websits else..so i'd like to thank guys here "u rocks guys "
now i'd like to ask about flashing anew rom for my HTC touch HD t8282
running win-mo 6.1 with arabic supported language..touch flow 3d..etc
but now i'm bored with original rom and i was looking for some roms around here and i found what i excatly wanted
but..(i'm sorry for that question :$) i dun know how to flash a new rom to my blackstone..i used search fuction and dummies guide also but..rofl i didn't get what they were takin about
so i was asking if someone could provide me with smplified way to install a new rom using HSPL
Thanks in advance and sorry for z long topic ​

basically, flashing a winmo phone is an easy process:
1. bootloader mode (power on with VOL- button pressed)
2. flashing
3. hard reset
however, there are a few preparations if your device was never flashed before, you need to install hspl on your phone and make sure you have the correct driver installed on your pc. the driver for the device in bootloader mode might vary from the driver used to sync the device, when switched on.
1. the driver:
if you have windows xp, connect the phone in bootloader mode and look, whether it changes from serial to usb on the bootloader screen, you should be fine by then.
on windows vista/7 you connect the device in bootloader mode, and might actually take some time for it to download another driver from windows update. if it changes from serial to usb, first try to connect using mtty, before attempting to flash, because the connection might not yet be stable and you might want to have a look at the thread (ref updating the usb drivers).
2. hspl
to quote the dummies' guide thread:
(HSPL2a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL2b) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (HSPL1a) and follow it as normal.
(HSPL2c) If successful, go to step HSPL3. If the flashing process sits at 0% and you get Error [260] connection after some time, go to step (Troubleshooting).
pretty easy, in other words, just connect the device in bootloader mode and run the package on the pc, it will unlock the spl and flash hspl.
if all went well, you are ready to flash, download any rom you like from the rom development section, and flash it using the .exe file that comes with them, might be updater.exe, blackstone RUU.exe or something else. if your rom download only consists of an .nbh file, like ruu_signed.nbh or BLACIMG.nbh, download advanced RUU and use it to flash.
alternatively, if this is to complicated for you as a beginner, you can rename the rom file to BLACIMG.nbh (if it is not already named like that) and put it in the root of the sd card, by then entering bootloader mode, it should find the rom and give you detailed instructions on how to install it.
last step, hard reset, as described in the original manual, switch on, while pressing VOL- and VOL+ and follow the instructions onscreen.

download this, extract all the files, take micro SD out of device, connect device to active sync and then run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on your pc, it will now start to flash a new SPL, when complete confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen! {hold volume down and press the reset button under the back cover}) now verify the screen shows 1.56.OliNex, which is the new Hard-SPL version.
when complete you will be able to flash any rom to your touch hd/blackstone
note: if you do not flash a new rom you will have graphical issues with the current rom, however this gets fixed as soon as you flash a new rom
if you have any trouble, click me and go to the first post
good luck

Hello
Due to an issue of loss of storage on my HTC LEGEND, I decided to switch to root and supporting the solution DATA2EXT. That's how I followed this tutorial ( can't post the link, so it's the tutorial from FRAndroid, sticked on the HTC LEGEND part for root). I'm stuck at 2. ROOT, when I start the step1-windows.bat, my phone displays an HTC logo on black and ... nothing happens.
thank you in advance for your help
Meanwhile, my phone is in a very old version, which is not very pleasant to quotidient: /
thanks

what does it show on your pc... i mean the commands on terminal window...
what's your software version?
if it's 1.31 or lower it's ok... maybe u haven't made gold card properly

On my comp :
Legend Root Step 1
Erasing cache and rebooting in RUU mode...
erasing 'cache'... OKAY
... OKAY
About to start flash...
< waiting for device >
sending 'zip' (121756 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'...
on my phone :
a htc logo with a black background
i'm on a 1.31 & i check my gold card few mins ago
thanks for help me

Ok, so i pass the step1-windows.bat
now... another problem, when i go to recovery mode, adb didn't find my device ... : /

Bootloader not detected at PC

Hello,
Today i have tryed to flash a new CWM on my HD2.
But i get always an error "USB init. Failed" so i've searched in google an in this forum for an solution but i haven't find any.
I've tryed to flash CWM in Bootloader mode but my pc's (2 XP ones and 1 Win7) don't detect my phone.
Please Help

I have installed WMDC. But it doesn't recognize it at all.

[q] htc hd2 flashing rom issue
Can anybody help me.I have MAGDLR and the Bootloader installed by a previous chap who owned the phone, all the correct versions. THe phone HD2 (T-Mobile), when I got it, had Gingerbread on,but the FM radio was not working,
so I thought an Upgrade was in order. I went to the MIUI website and downloaded the latest stable rom and followed the instructions as best as possible, but I had problems with the
Bootloader going from Serial to USB and being able to flash the rom like that. I then tried the loading the rom ZIP file to the SD card, and then using Clockwork orange recovery to
to install the ZIP file from SD card. That being said, I rebooted and the phone just stayed hung on the HTC logo screen. (And I didn't do a back up, before I started.)
I eventualy found a Jaws MIUI rom, that instaling via Clockwork Orange, worked, but it is Froyo and not a lot of stuff works very well. What is the correct procedure to install
from SD card, with Clockwork Mod Recovery? The Roms that I download, do I have to unpack the zip, do something on the files? I have read that depending on the rom that you have, when
doing a ClockWorkMod Recovery installation, that you need to have the right Size partition or image disk version of the Clockwork recovery MOD, But I can't swap and change this as my USB does not work between the phone and the PC.
I have installed active sysnc, does not work and I have tried this both on my Desktop and Laptop. As the one response suggests, Formatting your PC seems a bit extreme.
Help, Pleeeeeeeeez!
Thanks
