Vista and Upgrading bootloader

So got my Dopod 838pro running windows mobile 5 and will upgrade it to windows mobile6 with any luck, at the moment im trying to upgrade the boot loader to SPL (Bootloader) version 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7) and im following this very handy guide http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
however i get to the very end where its supposed to flash the new boot loader and it sits there for a while until the updater utility comes back with ERROR [260] Update Error.
Which informs me that i should check to see if the phone is connected to the computer via usb, which it is.
It must connect to the phone cause it actually starts the process of trying to update the boot loader, i see it on my phone. It goes to a red, green and blue screen. Which says:
Herm1000
IPL-SSPL by Des
Herm100
SPL-1.09.ds
USB
The only option i have here is to press exit on the updater utility, and start again.
Nothing else happends after this.
Im running Windows Vista 64bit, have also tryed this guide
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
Still no solution.
Currently i have:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.06
Have also restarted my computer in between trying different things.
Anyone ever had this problem or know a fix?
Thanks in advance.

error 260 is an open port error. try a different usb port, disable antivirus and firewalls, or if avaiable try on a different pc, xp if possible.

heh, works on my XP machine.... >< Thanks.
Edit:
I tried a differeny USB port on my vista machine and that didnt work. I also closed absolutely everything and that didnt work either.

Can't seem to install Hard HSPL2 on tmous HD2

OK....I've followed all the tutorials, searched, and still I can't figure out how to get Hard HSPL2 on my tmous HD2 so that I can then begin the process of installing custom ROMs. When I run the HSPL2 from the zip, I follow the on-screen instructions, select 2.08hspl, and select next. After that my phone does the tri-colour thing and then it just sits there with a green bar moving back and fourth on the screen. It doesn't give me a percentage amount to let me know how far along I am!
I let it sit for 30 mins....and still nothing. And also....activesync disconnects once HSPL2 is ran. If anyone knows whats going on please help me. I really need a custom ROM. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just so you guys know....I am running Windows XP SP3, I have Activesync 4.5 installed, HSPL will load and got thru the process, but nothing after that. The green bar will just go back and fourth for a long time.

I'm a noobie to WinMo. I don't know if my advice will help, but I'll share. I had a similar problem when I tried installing HSPL2. For some reason, when my HD2 was in bootloader mode, it would disconnect from the USB connection and reconnect. But HSPL wouldn't finish the installation and I kept getting a fatal error message that connection was lost. All I did was was run HSPL2 again after I got the error message and it worked fine. If you're getting the same error message, it should work.

I'm not getting the error msg, It's just that the HSPL installer is stuck on the installation screen and just sits there. The green bar will go back and fourth for like 20-30 mins. IDK what I can do to fix it.

i'd say try every usb port,especially try to use one round the back.and don't forget to run as administrator,

I've downloaded the HSPL_1024. What happens is I'll run it, it'll go thru the process, but in won't install. There's a green bar that goes back and fourth forever. My phone will sit on the tri-colour screen and nothing else will happen. I let it sit that way for a long time and still nothing. Shold I do a hard reset or what?

Watch This!

It's funny, I just watched that video. Followed exactly what that guy did. His finished in under 2 minutes or so. After about 15 minutes...mines still has the green bar going back and fourth. I am getting so frustrated. I love this phone but I can't stand having to deal with things like this in order to get to it's full potential.

its a long shot but try taking out the sd and sim, and i repeat what i said about usb ports. hspl is far more picky about it than regular flashing.
try starting already in bootloader, if the word serial doesn't change to usb then there is your problem.

Im getting an error msg now. ughhh! And the error msg comes after letting the program run for about 10 mins. I'm going to try and take the sim and SD card out and then try again. IDK what I'll do after that.

samsamuel...I've tried everything you said. Now I'm getting a "Critical Error". I'm on a Macbook running Windows XP SP3 in VMWARE. I have activesync 4.5 (not WMDC) Does this make a difference at all? If none of this helps I'll just have to do a hard reset and try it again.

ohhhh well there you are then. when the phone is running propperly, the mac can happily pass the usb signal through, but when it boots to bootloader, the mac fails to propperly pass through the signal. (Based on stuff that i have read , , i dont have a mac)
Got a friend with a PC? use that to flash HSPL, and then on your own machine give bootcamp a try to actually run xp rather than vmware for flashing.

[Q] Problem mit flashing magldr versions

Hello...
I have a SD-bootable Android on a Dutty Windows ROM 6.5 with a working radio and HSPL 2.08. All perfectly working.
Now i want to go NAND and want to install MAGLDR. I start it as administrator, then i can select update and my phone goes straight from windows to bootloader. But after that i get the message that my workstation can't connect to my phone (althought boot loader says "USB"). I tried it directly from boot loader too and that too doesn't work (from there i can't even get the Update selection).
Could there be an issue with the Dutty ROM or has anyone else an explanation for this kind of behavior?! And is there anything i can do... maybe erase the whole ROM (HOW???) or anything?
Regards
Elmar

Is the error message by any chance "USB init failed"?

What version of Windows are you running? Also, do you have a firewall or antivirus application running? I have seen them interfere before and you could try temporarily disabling / deactivating them.

I have an antivirus (AVG), but it is only on Android, which i am not accessing when updating. As i said i tried from windows (6.5) and the update took me to the boot loader but then the windows application is trying to connect and then gets no connect and this error message appears :
"Error (260)
Check the following :
1. PDA Phone is connected via USB
2. USB cable is connected to the workstation"
And it is connected, which you can the on the fact, that the update is running my phone into the bootloader, but then i get stuck on 0% and after that the error message appears.

What you want to do is try disabling the allow usb option in active sync. Do this after you install magldr but before you try to flash the rom. This seems to fix the problem.

Hello again...
I am so sorry to have bothered you with my nonsense.
From the workstation i tried (which i strangely flashed all other ROM's before and had no problems) there had been missing the driver for the boot loader which pretty simple explains my problems here (Do'h).
Tried it from a workstation with internet connection and eureka, the driver installed and i could install magldr afterwards.
Thx for all your support and sorry for my homer-like thinking for not checking that before.
P.S. Any of you any recommandations for a good NAND ROM. I think i am going to try MDJ's CyanogenMod7. Or has anyone tried various and come to another good ROM?
Regards
Elmar

*Urgent* Bootloader won't connect - Brick?

hey all,
Wanted to do a clean installation of cyanogenm7,
Step by step:
entered bootloader
run task29
enterbootloader
install radio 2.15.50.14
enterbootloader
install magldr113_daf
thats it..
now, it can never use usb flasher (in order to install cwm) from magldr
for only 2-3 times it connected from USB in bootloader, and now it does not happen either. and I couldnt install cwm on that bootloader ofcourse.
windows faults; device not recognized..
did it brick? and.. why?
I'm leaving town for a business meeting tomorrow and have no backup phone right now.
save me please! =)

came home to try on a machine with XP (activesync present)
cant connect and also XP gave the same error..
device not recognized..
any ideas?

went back to laptop, win7x6
it didn't recognize at first, as usual
then it went USB on bootloader.. (did a restart first, and then it says HTC USB SYnc is successfully installed)
task29 'd again
fine
radio install began and, lost connection in the middle.
now says rom code error as normal, but again not recgnizing the device...

If aynone interested, or anyone else having the same problem at the future,
the phone is at the service and the mainboard's gonna be replaced.

Maybe your usb cable is damaged

Might help if you do a fresh reinstalled of windows 6.5 will erase all. And try again.

if you were already running cm7 then all you needed to do to fresh isntall was boot into CWM and factory reset it and isntall the rom from zip
all those extra steps you have taken are pointless

[Q] Can't run RUU, always stuck at 0%

Hi,
i am having lots of trouble with my HD2. I just got it so im kinda new to this new stuff. I previously came from the HTC Desire.
My problem is that i can't run any RUU. Even the original one. Or the magdrl one.
It is always stuck at 0%.
Steps i have taken: I established activesync unfortunately it does not sync properly because it asks me to log in in my phone and i cant seem to do it. though i still go to the bootloader and have USB at the bottom.
I have installed HSPL4 with 2.08.0000. It was succesful. I tried different USB ports on my computer.
Its only the RUU problem where i am stuck at 0% and after awhile it fails and gives me error 276.
Please help me...
Thanks
Vevek

I also had this problem seldomly.
Possible reasons are:
- battery charge level
- virus scanner on PC
- firewall on PC
- non removed SD
- other devices connected to USB (printer, scanner, ...), disconnect which you don't need.
- USB 3.0 ports on PC
- ...
- Have you tried to reboot your PC?
- Which OS are you running on PC?
- If Window 7 try to install Windows Mobile Device Center again
- Have you already tried LeoAdvacedRUU?

2. 08.0000 is stock, so won't allow flashing. Run hspl4 again and choose "2.08.hspl" .
