I've got a m2000 that I'm trying to upgrade using the instructions on the How to upgrade to the lastest (1.42) rom.
I extracted the exe using rar. I copied the MaUpgrade_noID into the folder I extracted the 1.42 rom in to. Ran the MaUpgrade. Starts the upgrade but now is stuck at 7%.
What do I do now?
Nevermind
I was impatient and went ahead and unplugged the usb connection. This halted the upgrade. I then tried upgradig again and everything went smoothly.
try this
make sure nothing else is running , sometimes firewalls and antivirus softs screw things up,
dont worry if you get a COUNTRY ID ERROR 1st time round dont Undock it leave it alone dont touch anything just run it again, sometimes i need to do a defrag of my main PC as its only usb 1.1 helps it run smoother..
make sure you fresh reboot both your PC and Pocket PC before any upgrades..

I have an BA XDA2s, and was attempting to upgrade ROM to latest WM5 version. Got as far as going into bootloader mode, and running BAupgradeUT. Mid update the programe said it had lost connection to phone (pretty sure i didnt accidentally disconnect it). My xda is now stuck with a blank screen with nothing except v2.08 at the botttom, and either USB or Serial at the top (depending on weather on cradle or not). I tried running BAupgradeUT again - but it has a connection error before it even starts now.
During the update my computer said that it had detected new hardware, and started trying to install drivers for it, but got stuck when it couldnt find "wceusbsh.sys" file in my windows dir. (i forget which im afraid ...)
im perfectly happy to accept any solution - including ones that involve restoring the retail rom - i just want my phone back. can anyone help me, or am i royally screwed? thanks in advance...........
****...I fu**ed things up 2:S What to do now?
i think ive solved mine - if your having the same problem as me, i can give ya a hand... otherwise - im probably not the best person to talk to ......
well...tell me please, because i know what i did wrong...no extrom on my sd card...
right well - im pretty new at this, so bear with me
basically i eventually solved the problem by locating the file that it couldnt find, and when i had located that file, it had no problems communicating with the phone. so i ran the update again - and it worked fine...
afaik - the screen blank screen with v2.08 is just the normal screen while it waits for the rom to be uploaded.....
hth..... if not then its out of my leauge
ok..i'll try again:S
When I run the wizard update for rom or radio or anything it says one of two things on my pc, 1. that there is a connection error and or 2. That the program needs to close because it says so. Im sure there is a simple fix to this issue but i just dont know it.
Thanks
I think I know why
After reading through the posts I discovered why I am having so much trouble. Reason being last week I upgraded to Vista, which would explain alot.
Anyone know a way arround this problem?

Downgrade to XP...
There are lots of issues with the rom updater and Vista. Unfortunately until a new version of the rom update utility comes out (or some other new method) its going to be an issue.
Not only RUU, WMDC itself sometimes get problems in Vista.
When I connect the Wizard to PC, sometimes WMDC does not show up, and the PPC is not present in My Computer, and you will see a yello exclamation in device manager!
The only thing I can do is to remove the device complete from device manager and let it detects again, then I can use it again for several times.
I have been trying for almost 2 days straight to flash a new HardSPL then ROM to my Touch Diamond. I have done everything I can possibly think of but nothing works. I think the problem may be that I am using VMWare Fusion (on a MacBook Pro) running Windows 7. I can establish a connection with WMDevice Center perfectly fine, the RUU puts my Diamond into BootLoader and it says USB in the white area. However, after this step the status bar shows up on the computer for about a minute then I get error 26x (260, 266, 264....) cannot connect to device. I don't know how to work around this. I would just boot from the Internal Storage but I need to be able to flash a HardSPL before I can do this. I somehow was able to flash a new SoftSPL (I'm running SPL-0.64.000 right now). If anyone has any ideas about what I can do please let me know. I've searched the forum, done hard resets, tried JumpSPL v1, tried to boot a ROM from Internal (can't without updated HSPL), everything. I'm out of ideas.....
Im having the same problem i almost slammed mines. At first the activesync use to come out now it doesnt even do that some choose what to open with box comes out. This phone does things random i have no idea why. Everytime it connects i press the update to install the new windows 6.5 on it and the the sound of it disconnecting shows up then it sounds again and then the screen says usb and then on my computer it says theres no htc connected so i wait to see and i get a error after 3minutes of waiting then i got to reset. Its getting me real frustraded.
I synchronize my phone using ActiveSync. After flashing wizzard my rhodium wanted a driver. I didnt find it and now I'm standing in the tricolor.
Somebody help me please what to do !!!!! :-(
In the tricolour screen (the bootloader), does it say "USB" at the bottom ? If so, you should still be able to flash it ok. Though if there is a missing driver on your PC, it might just come up with an error and not be able to flash it. You could still try flashing from SD card in that case.
I did a soft reset and my old ROM was boot. Driver is missing. I have to install it. Thx

if you want to obtain the missing driver, you shouldve left the phone on the tri colour screen, and now this is my question, what OS are running? Win7 or XP? if youre on Win7 its going to search for the drivers on the internet and it should take 5 mins, as stated above if the drivers are installed it should say USB on the bottom and should be ready to be flashed, this happens to me once in a while when i flash a ROM, i just leave it on that screen and let the computer do the work and sometimes the RUU which is the program u use to flash a ROM will have an error, thats fine, just re run the RUU and should be fine from there
My OS is win XP, but this computer is adjusted using XP lite. One of important component is removed (maybe drivers support... idk). I did not know that I have these problems during the flashing on this computer.

If you have the ActiveSync drivers it should be automatic. If you were able to Sync with ActiveSync, you can flash. Just let it install the drivers by itself or download ActiveSync again and install and try again.
or flash from memory card.... no need for drivers.

Copy RHODIMG.NBH (you can take from any Rom, sometimes it has another name, rename it rhodimg.nbh) to your SD card using a card reader form your computer
Put it in your phone than start. It will ask you to push start button to begin flashing.
After flash restart phone with red button under battery cover

Have you tried doing a Windows update while the phone is hooked up to your computer? Your computer probably just doesn't recognize the phone. I had that problem when I did my first flash. Windows update just found the drivers and installed them and I was good to go.
I think what he was trying to say is that he used N-Lite to strip down his XP install and removed some critical driver or possibly PNP pieces..

I understood that but if ActiveSync works, then flashing should work as they are the same driver. Probably needs even less components than ActiveSync.

try to make manual synch then install netframework, for me SD method never worked, i always flash with pc method,
and last thing: I actually use Dynamics rom, is the best I tried with NRG and x826
also try deleting net framework from pc than relaunch for making it install on pc and on phone together (that worked for me)
i don't think flashing hardspl over stockspl via sdcard works. hardspl 0.72 used a special exe, not suitable for everything else.
flashing hardspl 0.78 over hardspl 0.72 via sd works fine. and no, stockspl 0.78 doesn't make it any harder, i got it back from service 2 times with it.
but i already told you, you need a fully working connection with activesync first for usb-flash to work. (device center from Vista onwards), you might need to search for usb-drivers for x1 first (which also allow the pc recognize the phone if you attach it in bootloader-mode).
iirc, after starting flash-process with winmo running, there was a popup on stockrom if you really want to let some exe reboot the phone (to enter bootloader).
yes you need to fully synchronize with a server or pc
server doesn't have to do anything with it.
and no, he doesn't need to do a full sync with pc. but he needs to be able to do that.
