I was trying to upgrade my SX66 from the factory Windows2003 to WM6 with this HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_ installer. I started the install and it crapped out giving me an error saying that it could not communicate with my device and that I needed to plug my device back in and retry it. My SX66 is now stuck on the bootloader as I'm sure the ROM isn't complete, and the installer does nothing now. Can someone please help this noob out? I'd really like to have my phone back lol.

Did you unlock the device first?
In any case, just try to reflash your device back to WM2003 with a stock rom. It does seem to be a bad flash. Also, which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Follow this in order to perform the upgrade properly...
Good luck!

I'm running windows version 7. and no i didn't unlock the device. i just ran the installer application (i hadn't found a detailed install manual) i'm not entirely sure how i can re-flash now, because i can't get a usb connection made because it's stuck in the bootloader.

By bootloader, do you mean the three colored screen?

no, the screen that says serial/usb at top and 2.07 at bottom
I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page
In my opinion (and this is just a theory), Windows 7 (since it is a beta) does not have the necessary drivers to recognize the "usb device". Hence, when you put it in the cradle, it just doesn't see it. Again, this is just a theory...
You may want to get a hold of a machine with XP (that is if you didn't make the one you are using a dual boot). You should be OK if you try to flash via XP.
If everything else fails, you can always use mtty and flash via SD card (the procedure can be found in the wiki).
I had the device synced up before the install. it's just having issues syncing while it's in the bootloader mode. The device actually appears in the usb devices, but doesn't sync. i was thinking that the device might have to be authenticated with local software(on the sx66) in order to sync. I'm using the windows vista drivers. I do have this machine dual boot, but it's not any other version of windows i'm using
Your device does not have to sync in order to up/downgrade. Think about it this way... the RUU will put the device in bootloader anyways.
Just run the installer of the stock rom (the upgrade from Cingular).
@N1cholas: Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting MS Active Sync to show as it usually does when you are syncing your phone? If that is the case, it won't happen when on boot loader. Are you getting any error when trying to flash or you haven't tried to flash yet?
Advise:
1. Keep your hopes, don't get despert. Egzthunter is a master
2. Make sure you follow the guide... Step by Step to upgrade.
3. If it'll take you too long to complete the reading and flashing, reset your phone and put it to charge. You won't be able to flash with a dead backup battery. Main and Backup battery won't charge while on bootloader.
Edit: @Egzthunder: Sorry mate, while I was thinking, drinking coffee and writing you had already replied Like I said, your the help master. Once again, I encourage the MODS to propose you to be part of their teem. You're always there to help.

i'm going to head off to school, but it's not working. when i try to run any mods i get an error saying that it cannot communicate with device.
Yeah! Egz for MODS!!! Woohooo and Xplode too and someday..me! LOL (no i mean it!)

Why do you think I don't trust it?
@N1cholas,
I apologize since I ended up going to bed yesterday night.
I think your best bet will be to find yourself a PC running XP and try the reflash in that since it seems to me that something is going on with the OS.
@red and mark
Thanks for the support, guys!!! But you guys are awesome as well!
yeah, it's weird, it's just not working anymore. It appears in the device list and everything, but in WMDC it doesn't show up, and the rom install wizzards can't communicate with it either. I have been unable to find the upgrade ROM from cingular as it seems that the siemens' page has been removed. Also, I have a 2gb SD drive, but haven't been able to find information about flashing the SX66 from the SD.

You will not see the device in any type of sync software (call it ActiveSync, WMDC, etc). I hvae uploaded the SX66 stock installer from Cingular, so give that a shot
Here you go
SX66Update.exe
Like I said... XP computer. Also, for the SD flashing, you need to look for something called mtty and instructions on how to use it.
the proper solution
1.MTTY method for unblocking bootloader mode
2.Upgrade the same way as in Vista to stock rom
3.Sim Unock, Repartition DOC
4.Upgrade vista way to any rom you like
there are guides in WIKI about this
egzthunder1 which version extrom version and radio are in this rom - the one you sharing? As you know i make public BA shipped rom collection, and any rom which is not there is welcomed

Hey xplode,
To be perfectly honest, I haven't flashed 2003 since 2006, so I would be lying if I told you. Feel free to add it to your database if you wish. FYI, this is the upgrade that Cingular Wireless used to offer when the SX66 was still available in the at&t website.
MTTY doesn't have a USB option, it's only giving me COM1, COM2, COM3...

HOW TO INSTALL HSPL
NOTE:To install this HSPL there must be SPL 1.42.0000 on your device. Otherwise the installation will fail! To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM with this SPL version.
1. Download HardSPL package from http://www.mediafire.com/?44nvdoc45zykmen and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable
3. Run HSPL3_PKG.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully
4. When finished reading click next in the HardSPL program
5. The program will now check the usb connection and enter bootloader screen (tri colour)
*You can select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*
6. Select 2.08.HSPL for HardSPL and click NEXT.
7. Your choice will be flashed to your phone.
8. When its finished the HardSPL program will pop up a box saying "Successfully Done" and the phone will reboot.
9. Click ok to terminate program.
10. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.

Many sd cards are not recognised/compatible with WP7. You'll see a thread in this forum dealing with the compatibility issue and trying to identify which sd card types do work.

That's right you need to get a Windows live activation code from MS. There is a hack that needs to be applied to "trick" the market into thinking the device is an HD7, but you still will need the activation code. See here

Do you have hspl of 2.08.hspl or 2.08.0000. You need the hspl bit at the end. Also do you have a 50 series radio of at least 2.08.50 installed?

If your HD2 is already unlocked it will not be relocked by flashing any ROM to it. I sugest you do a back up of all your personal information like pictures, videos, documents, contacts, etc. Then do a hard reset of your HD2. Turn your HD2 off and then hold both the volume up and down button down and the power button down until you see the multicolor zcreen come up and follow the on screen instructions.
As far as changing the OS on your HD2 you need to download and flash HSPL 2.08 to your HD2. Then donwnload and flash MAGLDR to your HD2. Then download the NAND Andriod ROM or Windows Phone 7 ROM of your choice and follow the ROM developer's instructions to use MAGLDR to flash the ROM.

There are WM viruses out there, quite rare though....
I dont think this is a virus, just a software issue. Would probaly be fixed with a hard reset.

Any virus issue could be fixed with a hard reset, since that clears the entire phone and reads the install files from ROM.

Unless it goes to the SD card....
The point I was trying to make is that the op just needs to hard reset. Not sure how they came to the conclusion they had a virus.

I've been trying to get a Chevron unlock on 7004 for quite a while now, and so far null success Closing Skype, etc. didn't work, and I do have the registry value added. Flight Mode didn't work either, and I'm on older Zune software.
Now, I read that Chevron only works on certain ROMs with Omnia 7 but I'm not sure what I should flash exactly. So, what exactly should I flash to get that Chevron unlock going?
P.S: I'm on Windows XP, maybe that's part of the problem?
