how do i get usb in drop down in mtty tool ?

hi - as many of you will know the xda experiance can be an all consuming task .
i after reading many many posts would like some information on how exactly to get the mtty tool to offer me the option of usb so i can connect to my bricked xda exec.
my bootloader screen is severely distored in colour however i can get back and forth to the promt for "press x or 0 " to reset / exit. it seems this proble m is not unknown however i dont seem to be lucky when it comes to the mtty tool.
any help would be greatly appreciated : thanks in advance.

Did you disable Activesync on your PC first?
Find the (two) executables in taskmanager and end task.
V

True. And make sure you're not running Vista! (bricked my phone for a few days until I could fix that)

would you share HOW you sorted vista bricking your uni? i've had to send it for repairs because nothing i could do fixed it.
i tried updating the firmware to another of helmi's cooked roms. i've flashed the device many times and used all sorts of people's roms, and i think it was the time i switched to VISTA that bricked it.

My solution
Take the sd card from the phone... duh
It was giving the same error, when i took the card it started to work...

Strange, I never have a problem with the sd card or sim card in the phone
[1]
First make sure active sync is not running, you may have to kill the process wcescomm.exe (CTRL+ALT+DEL, Processes TAB, right click on process and End Process Tree)
[2]
If that doesn't work, change the usb cable, every time i encounter that problem - it is nearly always the usb cable, if you have a canon digital camera, those cable works for me about every time

No man... i've been tryin to get USB in dropdown list but never appears. I'm so tired of incomplete answers. I'm using vista and i kill every process indicated by you.

Did you or did you not post multiple threads on the same problem?

Try this instead of mtty.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/nueTTY-Console-71189.shtml
Its a console that diables everything automatically.
It worked a treat for me. My phone was stuck in bootloader.... no ROM or SPL would flash (stuck at 0%) I couldn't get mtty to give me "USB" from the dropdown in Vista.

I can't get into the boot loader so it says "USB" in the bottom white area... even though USB cable is inserted, of course. If I boot up with device with USB cable inserted the only thing that happens is that the white area is blank. When unplugging the device "Serial" is written, but plugging the USB cable back in doesn't change a ****... stills says "Serial"...
Any clue, USB connector defective? Tried two cables.
nueTTYConsole says the following:
Code:
Disabling RAPI...Already Stopped!
Searching for CE USB devices to connect...
No devices found to connect, aborting...
Not restarting RAPI because it was already disabled.

critical problem in jamin for help please

My friend's jamin when he tried upgrading with smart1 wm6
after the flashing process finished it gives the 3 colors of boot loader
the screen flickers continously with the 3 colors
no way to hard reset the device
and activesync doesn't feel it
I searched all the forum for a problem like this but I didn't find any
any suggestion please, or any help?

Flash NVID Rom and try Smart again. Read WM6 upgrade Manuel and readme for the ROM.

Please how can i flash with the activesync doesn't notice my device and where's NVID Rom
Ok. I'll search for it but please help how can I flash it to the device which doesn't recognized or felt by PC

If your device is in bootloader mode, activesync cannot recognize it but this is normal. Jamin is recognize only as a usb device and you can downgrade it to NVID rom easly.
Then you could upgrade your favorite rom, I suggest PDAVIET 4.0.0.1
Bye for now

I think I didn't discuss the problem well
The Problem is when I start to flashing a rom a message tells that check if the usb is connected and if the device is connected .
This is happen with the device is connected to the cable and the tricolor screen is flicking . and the device doesn't open doesn't flashing.

must use NVID rom. maybe qtek nvid one from here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

If the problem still there, Try to release the battery for 1-3 hours and put it again to the device, go to the boot loader and pray. Hopefully it could work. Actually, this way worked on my Himalaya and Prophet.

Just run the "Step 1" component of the PDAViet ROM (http://rapidshare.com/files/32728615/Prophet_PDAViet_Step1.zip), which is just a plain AKU 2.20 NVID. This will find your device even if its in bootloader mode (it doesnt depend on activesync). Just flash it with that sucker and you should have a working phone on WM5, then you can safely upgrade it to WM6 (or leave it if you like).

Error 260... If i remember correctly that's "cant find device" or something.
Few things to check:
Is the PC you are upgrading on running windows vista?
If so, use a different PC running windows XP.
Have you tried a different USB cable?
If not, do so, this tends to be the cause of problems like this.
Have you checked device manager?
Go to control panel, Administrative tools, computer management, device manager and see if you can find your device. If it has a yellow ! icon on it or is listed as "Unknown device" or anything like that then you may need to reinstall the drivers (int hsi case the easiest way to do that is to reinstall activesync). If everyhting is working properly it should show up as "HTC USB Sync", "PocketPC USB Sync" or something like that under the heading "Mobile Devices".
Have you just plain tried another computer, regardless of the OS?
I found that I could never get my phone to flash on my laptop, but it worked without a problem on my desktop. This is not to say laptop's cant do it, it simply means some computers just have problems like (in my case i believe) no USB 2.0, or too low-powered USB ports.

No I didn't change any and I can connect my o2 xda mini to the same cable
I want to ask few technical question
HOW CAN A SOFTWARE DAMAGE THE DEVICE?
CAN A SOFTWARE FOR EXAMPLE BURNS A PROCESSOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
If So there will be a big problem with those types of devices
a virus for example can destroy my device's board or processor!!
Yesterday My friend went to an I-mate customer service who tel him that
the board had been destroyed by the bad software !!!!!!!!!
Please Give me technical advice about this problem
and is there a web site for him to buy this board (i-mate jamin)?

I've tried everything... even tried it on my desktop... but my phone just wont turn on now. i've kept the battery removed for more than 8hrs now... i've even charged it for more than 8hrs non-stop..nothing happens..
maybe i should get hold of a charged battery & try it with that battery...?
Any clue how to get my phone started??

got it working !!! PHEW... i used my HP battery which was charged & put it into it..now i've got my bootloader & i'm installing the new OS as we speak... 15% done.... keeping my fingers crossed

done.. got my HP Ipaq battery , which was charged & my new started up in bootloader more.. PHEW !!!
66% done... keeping my fingers crossed

ok, installed...now, one more problem..my touch screen's not working...???
Any idea what to do?
i installed "Prophet_PDAViet_Step1"

HTC P3300 can´t connect with ActiveSync

I cannot switch on my device. When I tried hard reset it stucks at bootloader. so tried to enter boot mode (red green blue screen) and reinstal rom. it starts and look it works properly but instalation of new room is not completed (error 270). have read simmilar topics in forums and it seems it´s because device is not connected with activesync. any ideas how to fix? please don´t say I have a brick

Cannot connect
Use the original cable supplied by HTC. There seems to be an issue with other cables.
sanjeev

Are your really using ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center?
In bootloader mode when connected via USB, can you read "USB" on the Bottom of the Display?

to both questions I can say yes. but nothing happens. it seem pc doesn´t recognize device.

Opens activesync at the PDA and the go to connections settings. (menu->connections).
See if USB connection is selected there.
Cheers

thank you. I tried what you suggest but no change :-(

is the error you got when flashing the original HTC ROM?
if not download it from the official HTC site and then flash it using SD card flash (for more info about see the wiki)

finally fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find original rom (t-mobile) and followed instructions from link provided by y_bother. big thanks !!!

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

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?

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.

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
