While trying to update my MDA Vario with the new AKU 2 ROM of T-Mobile the RUU puts the MDA in bootloader. Then Windows notifies me of a new unknown USB device and the update utility gives me an communication error with error code [260] - upgrade failed. :shock:
1) How to solve this problem as this would make me or
2) Is it possible for someone to make a complete backup on a mini SD card of his HTC Wizard? From what I have read on Internet this can be written to a file. When posted on the XDA ftp I can write this file back to a mini SD card and restore a original ROM (for this I need a short tutorial).
option 2 assumes that the problem is related to the ROM. I super CID and SIM unlocked using the well known tools. Maybe this has gone wrong at some point :?: ?.
I'm having the same problem moving up to a custom 2.26. Did you ever find a solution.
Thanks,
Jeff
dont qoute me on this.. but i believe its an issue with the update utility... hopefully someone else can confirm or deny this..
but you can try this one:
i dont know how much either of you know so i will try some directions with this...
take my rar file, extract them to a folder, lets use c:\rom for an example
if you rom you have is in an *.exe format then use winrar to extract the rom to a folder then take the nk.nbf file and copy it to c:\rom and then run the update utility
if your rom is already in a rar or zip file then just extract the nk.nbf file to the c:\rom folder and then run the update utility
hope that helps

I really appreciate your help, but before I risk bricking my phone, could you tell you tell me how this differs from the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and RUU*.* that are part of the custom ROM update package I already have?
Thanks,
Jeff

the custom rom that you have, does it have the NoID update utility already?
ANSWER
I spent a few hours fiddling with this, and it turns out that my problem was that I have a miniSD installed. Make sure you pop your miniSD out of the slot before you begin the update, and it should work.

WTF that is WEIRD
i have flashed many roms and never had an issue with the sd card being in... but will definitely file that in the back of my brain in case i ever run into the same issue

Yes, it does. Oh, I also tried this without the MiniSD in the device (a known but really strange problem). Still getting the error.
Error 260 Finally Gone!!!
Well, just for the heck of it, I tried xelencin's 2.26 ROM update from another PC...and it succeeded.
Clearly, it is a new issue related to my laptop but it is probably going to quite a bit of trouble to track down.
Thanks everyone,
Jeff

did you use xdadev_all_unlock-v1[1].5.exe after using Helmi's ROM ?
The same thing has happened to my phone. No idea how to fix it, any advice would be appreciated.
i have a feeling this has something to do with resizing/unlocking extrom. can someone plz confirm on this?
imatrix
Mine works after using:
Helmi's ROM (16MBPool)
xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe
And then Upgrading to radio ROM 1.15
No idea whether this will work for everyone, but it worked for me

Read read read....
If you have to ask now how to do it tonight, you don't want to do it. First, why do you want to change it? Is it a reason worth risking your phone over? If so, take a look around, there's plenty of information already here and it's not always a simple process. What do you do if you flash your phone and it doesn't turn back on? What do you do if you're flashing your phone and your computer dies? What do you do after you've flashed your phone to find there's no radio or you can't make or answer phone calls? Do you have a G3 or G4 ROM? Better know, you could easily kill your phone permanently dead if you don't. Take another look around and look at all the messages from people asking how to undead their phone because they had no idea what they were doing, didn't let that stop them and not getting much of a reply. Everything you need to know is already here. Many times. If it seems like too much trouble to go look for it, then find something else to do with your toy.
Ok let me try to ask it like this.. How do you go about flashing your phone? Whats the order that you follow?
Just curious on other peoples methods.
