Error [202] connection

Hi guys,
i'm pretty new to this so go easy on me have searched the forums for an answer to my quetion but couldn't find what i need.
I have put hard spl 1.66 onto my phone and am now trying to flash it have tried both the ROM and the radio but when trying to do it by active sync I get error [202] connection, then gives me a run down on what to check, I can access the phone through active sync etc and have followed the instructions in the noob guide but can't get past this point!
I have also tried flashing with the SD card but it does not boot up the .nbh file to carry on best I have been able to get is the factory reset option.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Speersy.

i have tried to flash it off 3 different computers but get the same message each time, anyone fancy helping a noob? have followed the noob guide but must be going wrong somewhere

O.S Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manilla Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE
ROM date 10/28/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
I have tried all different CustomRUU.exe to try and flash my phone with a new radio and ROM but each time it says to check the USB cable which I don't understand as I can install the hardSPL2 on to the phone via USB cable, somebody help please.
Thanks
Speersy

What model phone?
What does it say next to spl when you enter bootloader? (power off, hold vol down, tap power on, keep holding vol down till u get to three striped screen)
Are you using teh usb cable that came with it? are you using a usb hub? what operating system on the pc's?

hi thanks for the reply,
in the boot loader it says spl-2.08.HSPL 8g xe
yes i am using the cable that came in the box I have tried on a windows 7 machine and 2 xp machines both with latest updates
when you say model of phone I guess you mean htc hd2 on t-mobile uk
no i'M not using a usb hub cable goes straight into the pc
do you need any more info?
thanks
speersy

well that all sounds ok, can't see why it wouldn't work.
last possibility - when running the program, right click it and choose run as administrator.
oh and try all your usb ports.especially stay away from ports built into the case of the computer.try use one directly on themotherboard (one round the back)

Does the device connect to Activesync normally? What happens when you put the device into bootloader mode and then connect it to the pc via usb. Does "usb" appear at the bottom of the screen?
If so, try running the rom updater from the pc directly, ie not through Activesync

no nor me wierd that i can flash the HSPL on but then customruu says to check the USB cable when it is connected and has just competed a sync.
have tried different USB ports but made no difference.

have you tried running teh flash from bootloader? (phone doesnt need to be actually up and running, bootloader will do fine.)
boot to bootloader and then try usb ports till you get 'serial' to change to 'USB', then right click customruu.exe and run as administrator.

Hi Clyde the device connects to active sync normally and completes it's synch with no errors,
Yes when i put it into the boot loader screen it comes up with USB at the bottom of the screen, have tried what you suggested but it still came up with the same error message,
tried again to do it from the SDcard when i enter the boot loader it brings up a loading screen then some numbers above that in red then goes back to the multi coloured screen and does nothing, you think that there is something wrong with the ROM??
is the noob guide which is stickied an accurate guide to use?

hi, yeah have tried that got it to go to USB from serial, then ran the customruu as admin and got the same message about check the USB, does the 2 files have to be in a certain location or can be ran from anywhere?

They can be anywhere as long as they are the only 2 files in their own folder. Have you tried another usb cable?

ok well sounds like I have the files in the right place, haven't tried a different USB cable, will have to wait till Tuesday till I can get one from work, if we have a spare one somewhere.

have you tried a different rom? long shot but it could be a bad download.

have tried different versions of the energy ROM which didn't make any difference at all, have alos tried to flash the radio but got the same message again, have also tried different versions of HSPL2 with no joy,
I find it odd that i can't flash from the SD card either could there be something on the phone that is stopping it maybe something T-Mobile have put on as I have also done a hard reset to try and flash it aswel

also i have just read something about T29 do i need to run this before trying to move from the stock ROM?

no one else came across this problem before then?

It's not necessary and probably won't work for you as it is the same process as flashing.

can't install hspl 3

hello am kinda new to all this, i'm trying to install HSPL 3 so i can flash my hd2 with a rom.
I have it Synced with My Computer. I have t-mobile usaHTC HD2. I open up HSPL3 thing. Press next. And its says its trying to connect via USB. stays stuck on that, then gives me an error message?
what am i doing wrong?
I HAVE 2.10.000 on my phone i just bought it. CAN I STILL flash my phone to get a custom rom????

anybody please, 2.10 i hear there is nothing out yet for 2.10 ?

for hspl... (yes it supports 2.10.0000, , dont forget that much of what you are reading was written before hspl3 was released)
1 - dont use a front mounted usb port, use one around back of the pc, directly connected to teh motherboard, not through a hub or case mounted ports.
2 - be sure and right click hspl.exe and choose 'run as administrator
3 - boot into bootloader yourself (start with phone off, press and hold and keep holding vol down, tap and release power, , when get to coloured screen, release vol down, , thats bootloader, ,) connect to usb, when the word 'serial' becomes 'usb' run hspl (as administrator)
keep trying usb ports.
if you are trying to use a virtual box, for example on a mac, , , dont.
oh, and be sure to extract hspl.exe, dont run it from within the .zip file.

thanks sam i got it, i love you.. now just gotta flash to get the rom

You aren't trying to flash it while you're in wp7, are you? I don't see why else it would label it as a leo70. You flash while in magldr... go to the flash option in magldr, then flash the android rom. If you're doing it that way, then please state exactly what you're doing so we can figure out if you're doing anything wrong.

zarathustrax I think i know all the steps..I know I should have it in magldr.12 but when i put it in magldr.12 i keep getting a error that it wont connect even though it says usb under usb flasher. try to flash DFT nanadroid 2.2 rom then and it gives me a wrong device ID error. now after several atempts my computer and phone will not read each other and usb under usb flasher is just waiting for a connection....The phone has correct radio on it. also i can get it do the screen to say HSP 2.8 everything there is a go its just getting this darn thing to read it i guess..

Sounds like there's a problem with the driver. Reinstall windows media center and see if your phone is properly recognized by your pc.
Otherwise, you could try restoring winmo 6.5 directly via sd card. Google how to do this, as I'm replying using my phone and it's a tad difficult to search the guide for you.

Like person above said, make sure all drivers have successfully installed... also make sure you're giving it administative rights when running flasher. I know sometimes when I flash, the administrative permission window doesn't pop up the first time and then it gives similar errors like you're stating. If it still doesn't work, then try reflashing magldr by holding vol down when you turn on to go to bootloader, and flashing magldr installer. Might be a good idea to task 29 it, too.

Just make sure when you're trying to flash any other ROM's just disable USB connections in ActiveSync before you flash as it'll say "USB init failed" otherwise.

Cheers mate!
Now just a minor question, then i'll shut up xD
I just realised that i flashed the new WP7-ROM without the SD-card, which means that it wont register the card now.. (this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078)
Can i just re-flash it? or what should I do?

Yeah just flash it again using MALGDR. With the SD card in this time.

[Q] flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed

"flash type 0 power reason 1 bootup_w_pwr_key_pressed"
That's the only thing written on my htc hd mini screen now.
After rebooting in "4-colored-screen mode" and flashing original rom (DAN) up to 100% device reboots and same thing happens, but with a little change - "flash type 0 power reason 6 bootup_w_warm_reset". Last flashed working rom was android "sense", it started "freezing", after soft-reseting the device i saw this grey screen. Already tried flashing different roms, taking the battery out for a long period, booting with vol+\vol- buttons pressed. Task29 freezes at 0%. Nothing helped.
Any advice anybody?
PS: sorry for my cr*ppy English, hope everything written above is available for understanding.

at first, it was RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe (original unmodified ROM, downloaded from shipped-roms)
then i switched to Gabanna's 21686, but it had some issues with gps in my case, so i went back to RUU_Photon_HTC_DAN_1.36.403.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe and decided to switch to Android - HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 with Beats Audio. It worked fine for 2 days, even gps came back from dead.
Thank you, hope this will help solving my case.

I've searched for another battery in local stores - no success. The price of new, brought from ebay etc. would be equal to price of used HD Mini, and i don't want to waste money on buying some low-class-chinese-piece-of-cr%p battery, politely called "replica".
Could you, please, rephrase that "plug-usb-to-computer-on-it", because i can't understand what you mean.
Wrong, last working ROM (before the problem started) was HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)

So you have tried Android Installing ?
"plug-usb-to-computer-on-it" Cable your HTC HD Mini Cable, connect to PC>Cable<HTC HD Mini. then try install CWM Recovery.
dear 2bigfella, I'm still not sure whatever you where just in WM6.5 or you had android after all that, what I understood now is your CWM hasn't been installed correctly. Pictures of your phone will help me to know the problem... don't you have at least a camera or bring your friends to take some pictures on it

aaaaaand again (3rd time): last rom working on my phone was (before the problem started) HTC Sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 (flashed to NAND)
googled cwm recovery - 1. htc hd mini isn't supported and 2.MY PHONE ISN'T WORKING! I can't install apps on it because the only two things i can see on it is a)grey screen, described above and b)bootloader (4-colored-screen mode)

Okay now it's better to know... (don't google for cwm, it's here already)
restart device, when you see HTC Bootscreen.. press and hold down Volume - down, until you're entered fastboot mode, be sure that your cable is connected to PC<>Photon, and begin install CWM from here (go to dev section xda photon)
