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...

Saved my day...thanks

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,
ERNANIBMNETO
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 i just get my htc hd2 and i want to install apps and games and do all those stuff that are in this website.. (put android....etc....)
but i cant because i cannot open Windows mobile device center... i have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit OS.... i have tried thousands of methods to make it work and i still cant!!... the WMDC icon appears in the all programs list but i click it and nothing happens... also there is a folder named windows mobile and the C:\Windows... but nothing works!!... i connect my HTC HD2 and run it in Sync mode and in Storage Mode and nothing happens again !
IM SO DESESPERATE!!!
if someone could help me i would be so happy thanks...
if need more info just tell me!
Try a few things-
1-Check to see if you have the latest version of WMDC, which is version 6.1
2-Reinstall WMDC if you do indeed have the latest version
3-Goto device manager and delete your Windows phone from your PC
4-It may be your device, try a hard-reset if that up there fails
5-and finally, if ALL ELSE fails, it may be your USB connector on your phone is bad. We have seen this quite a few times, seems to be a fairly common problem.
One other possibility.... the ugly truth is that I have to uninstall my antivirus program everytime I flash my rom and create a new partnership with WMDC. UGH!! this was microsoft's only answer to the problem. Please try it before you do a hard reset.
for me it never syncs (after a new flash) until i
settings menu all settings connection usb to pc
untick"enable faster data"
if you have connected the phone before doing this, reboot both the phone and the pc and try again.
I was having what I think is the same problem. Try going to setting (the tab in Sense) and select other. There is an icon that says something like usb-computer open that and de-select speed up ActiveSync conectivity or something along thoes lines.
I was able to sync after that.

Same problem, but I've give him some advice. It worked for me, but not him. It's worth a try though.
Ok, thanks! that solved it.
I had that thread open in a new tab. i posted my thread at the same time you posted to disable it in active sync not task manager. sorry about the extra thread.
But i did try to disable active sync in the task manager.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just had to disable usb connections in active sync.
open up active sync,
click on file,
connections,
uncheck the box that says allow usb connections. no WM needed. at least not for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That should realy be in the MAGLDR thread. for us xp users.
Also, the program for cracking the windows live requires Vista or W7.
And to install zune you need at least sp3 on xp. i guess im a little out of date.
Thanks again.
Windows 7 usb not recognised
I am having the same problem in windows 7,wondering if ive bricked the phone.I unchecked active sync in wm but still the pc does not recognise the phone.Is there any way out of this.I am just getting wait USB...USB so I must be doing something right any help much appreciated.Is there any way of recovering to Windows mobile from flasher mode.
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.
...And I just made a modest donation. Thanks very much.
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.

Hi
so im trying to install this Rom and it needed 400mb recovery
so i tried to install it but i cant get DFT installer to recognize my phone or something i get this common error:
An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)

then i wiped all data on my phone and my sd card... tryed again and the same thing!
tried task29 and the same error .. it seems that no installer is recognizing to my phone and now im without Rom .
pleeeaaaas help and i'll be really appreciated
try these
in win7/vista run application as administrator
in xp run as -> uncheck "protect my computer data..." or simpy run as administrator if you know your admin info
also if you are using active sync just make it so it doesnt allow usb connection (in active sync, file -> conn. settings -> there you will find it, just make sure its unchecked)
edit:
just remembered, before starting to flash dtf disable firewall and/or antivirus cause they can cause trouble as well
You have to disable USB connections in ActiveSync. Should work then.

What version of windows were you using that didn't work, and what version were you using that did?
win7 didn't work.
then when i tried win vista it worked perfectly..
then i tried with another usb port on win7 and it worked.
so the OS wasn't the problem .
