unable to revert to O2 rom

Hi Guys,
i consider myself relatively experienced at flashing HTC devices having been using and upgrading for a few years but i've run into an issue on my CID locked G4. i upgraded to WM6 without issue and i tried to revert back to my O2 rom, the flash failed and i'm now stuck at the splash screen. I've tried to flash the original ROM from boot loader but i get a 101 error unable to connect(can see it in device manager). as i'm using vista i did a search and found some instructions and driver files but i get the same result. the only thing i can think of now is to CID unlock but i'm not sure it will help (unless it allows me to do the SD card restore). any ideas guys?
IPL:2.21.001
SPL:2.21.001
GSM:02.25.11
OS:10.1.0.811

OK., what you need to do is use a PC with XP, because i have read that vista PC's can get you into a lot of trouble. When you are at an XP PC, follow the instructions in my previous post
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313354 ).
When you flashed the original ROM, and you succeeded in doing so, think real hard if you still want to upgrade to a new ROM.
If you still want to do that, stick to a PC with XP installed (no vista!).
If you did reflash a good ROM into your HTC you'll be one step closer to upgrading your ROM.
Read this post thourougly :

as this will help you in case you didn't CID unlock your device.
(thanks vippie; this is the clearest walktrough i could find!)
If you are really sure you CID unlocked your device, you can flash your device to any ROM you think is useful to you.
If your device is really CID unlocked, you should be able to flash any ROM that is posted on this forum.
I know that it is that easy, because i have tried every WM6 ROM that is posted on this forum
good luck, and i hope in the end you will have the ROM that you want....

thanks. my device IS CID LOCKED and i've tried to flash it from 2 XP machines so it is looking like its a brick thanks anyway.
for sale wizard with pretty 3 colour screen - sold as seen!!!

One thing you can try is use another USB to mini USB cable, i have had one cable that didn't connect really well.
Sometimes it worked but if i moved my phone the connection went down.
I just thought of that because it was a while ago that this happened - I threw away the faulty cable and had no problems after that.

tried 3 different cables too

If you have a memory card take it out. Right click on ActiveSync and go to connection settings. Uncheck allow usb connections then try to flash. With windows XP...

tried to flash on a win2K machine (4 pc's thats the only one thats not vista) still get error 101 on the original O2 rom and 300 on the wizard love rom.
still no joy anyone have any ideas???
http://www.t-mobile.hr/mdasw/RUU_Pro...R_WWE_Ship.zip fixed i'm on a tmobile rom i'll try downgrading again.

Someone help me please

I tried to update my rom and it was working, until my laptop turned off. (I forgot to plug in the power cord). So I tried it again, and it was stuck in bootloader and so I tried to update it using a Official Cingular Rom. But it gives me an error 260 saying cannot connect. I then tried to use mtty (one of the guides on here) but there's no USB option. I tried this on 3 different computers. Any suggestions please?!

To access mtty with USB option, you need to kill the wcescomm process (or disable USB connection in ActiveSync).

Thanks for the reply but I did kill it and disable usb connections. Stll no USB shows up. Im using a pretty new laptop with XP

Are you sure your Wizard is in bootloader mode when you start mtty?

It's always in bootloader mode when it's on since the Rom Update Failed ( computer turned off).
I really don't know why I have this problem. It was working before, but then it failed, and now it wont connect

Try to flash it on another computer.
I suspect there are problems on the USB ports (And/Or software issues) of your computer...

In my first post I said I tried to flash it on 3 different computers ( I meant laptops.) I dont know why it wont work now though. It worked yesterday

If it helps before it gives me the 260 error it says my USB device is not recognizable.
Please, does anyone have anything?
Im getting realy worried and my warrantys expired

help me stuck on bootloader
what do i do when i downloaded mtty? im am stuck on the bootloader screen due to a 98percent error but right now i cant do anything but stay on the bootloader.
I downgraded so im back to
IPL 1.01
and SPL 2.25.
HELP me get out this screen please? I've tried almost everything i could search on this forum. thanks in advance. and thanks for the hard work on the great roms you guys have!

Is there any other way to revive my device? I've been trying for the past 2 days and it's still not working
TheTop- Flash a official rom to it

I have tried official Roms like the one from the htc website, should I just keep trying even if I get error 260?

dunno if it helps, but make sure that you're battery is charged at least 50%. It seems to be one of the requirements that are needed when you normally flash with the RUU after activesync hookup. I know that when I tried flashing below 50%, the program wouldn't work for me and boot out.
if it's below 50%, look for a friend to charge it and try again.

Help! Problems flashing X1

Hey everyone. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this sorted but I just don't know what to do!
So, when I got my X1 as everyone on here should do, was flash my X1 with the HardSPL and some custom roms, this was a few months back. Then, shock! Horror! My case went and broke, (cracked near the volume button build W44) so I sent it back to SE for repair. I sent it back reset back to defaults but left the hardspl on there.
SE sent me a brand new phone (I think... This one says under the battery build w50, but the battery says w32..) I received it today. I thought it would be my old one repaired but SE had other ideas. Booted up and have Image Version: 1.03.931.10 and HardSPL 72.000 I think I said that correctly...
Now since sending it for repair and receiving it back, their seems to be quite a few wm6.5 roms floating about, and obviously I can't use the stock software as that wouldn't be right!
Now I have tried flashing the hardspl to the phone through my Vista PC and all it keeps giving me is connection errors. I thought maybe it was already flashed so I tried flashing just a rom, and that just made the phone get stuck on loading (flash by memory card). I thought it might be Vista, so I tried doing it on my other PC (XP) and I get the same issue. This bloody thing won't flash!
I have had "Connection Problems" - "Update Errors" with different numbers. The current one being Error [260] CONNECTION.
Now I have been searching around through the hardspl thread and other places trying to find out what I need to do or how I can fix it, but everything I try doesn't make a difference. I did read some other people with recently repaired phones having the same problem and perhaps SE have put a new spl thingy-ma-jiggy on there. (Please forgive the technical jargon, I have no idea what im on about.) I have also tried the ticking/unticking advanced network functionality, but that hasn't made a difference either.
So by the end of typing this, I have little hair left. Let's hope you can all help, before I have none left!
I would appreciate ANY help! Really.
Just wanted to add, I was at first getting the phone to a loading bar when flashing, but it would stay at 0% then flag up an error on the PC. Now after the tri-colour bars, the phone just sticks on Loading...

Well just to update. I have been trying to sort this since posting. I flashed the rom to an old UK generic one, as I read in another topic people had to do that before HardSPL. Done that, and tried flashing the hardspl. Same thing, just getting connection errors.
I tried going into bootloader and running the hardspl from there. It works and the phone gets to 10% and then gives an UPDATE ERROR. The phone is now bricked, and I have to reflash the original wm rom to get it back.
Though the Tricolour screen now shows 0.52.Olinex
Any ideas?

Shameless bump for help.

very stupid situation.
i have the same situation in puncto of flashing.
i get my phone three month ago.
after hardspl i .... sorry, no hardspl ... the phone says at 0% bla bla bla
i solve the problem by consulting one night absolutly stressing again and again and again .... google ... xda ... google
than 3 thinks at one time was the solution:
0. need activesync - connect !!!!
1. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe for desktop pc
2. enterbootloader.exe for pocketpc (please, the right version, it exist for eten too, but we need the xpediaversion ..)
3. changing registry-entries
how to:
activesync-connect, than copy "enterbootloader.exe" to pocketpc. it must be root, not sd-card. use a pocketpc-registry-program to change these values :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1
if not exist than add the key.
now, start desktop-program, follow instruction EXCEPT reboot.
start "enterbootloader.exe" on pocketpc. now, you can install hardspl and the device is flashable for ever.
thats works on me, hope it could help you too.

Thanks for the reply. Not had time to try it till this morning. Ok so, after spending about an hour trying to find the correct enterbootloader.exe I finally realized, that the hardspl package includes it. *Duh!* So that was time wasted.
I changes the registry values as you said with Resco registry editor, and follower the unlock then enterbootloader.exe Start HardSPL package. Starts to install. Gets to 10% then I get
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
The rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
So im open to suggestions if anyone has any. I just can't understand why it's not working. It's not a problem with my computer or cables. I flashed the phone before I sent it for repair and I have tried doing it on two computers one with XP 32bit and one with Vista 64bit.

hmm. would u like to install a custom rom, or a stock rom?
msg me, and i hope, i can halp u.

I want to have the hardspl on there so I can flash custom roms.

If it's a case of the software/firmware/hardspl whatever you call it, has been updated by SE. How would one go about getting it flashed? Would we have to wait for an update HardSPL to be released?

U read this thread?
My first hardspl was from this thread. New X1 will come tomorrow back from SE (vibration was defect +++ some more problems with case), and i will try it again with this thread.
hope, this will help u mate.

Yeah, I have been through that thread with a fine toothcombe trying everything suggested to see if I can make it work.
When you get yours back, if you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it to flash or can't do it. Please come and let me know in this thread. If they have updated yours like mine, and yours won't flash, at least I won't be the only one!

k, i will msg u tomorrow around 2pm.

Cheers.
In the meantime. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?

Bump, for some help.

now i know, what is exatcly your problem.... <--- SAME Problem
i hope, i will find a solution and msg u then. if u´ll got a solution for this prob, msg me too plz.

Solution found in this Thread!
Download this and unzip it to your device. ++ run it. It will start your X1 in Bootloader menu and say "0.52.OliNex".
Then start hardspl while X1 is in Bootloadermenu....
FINISH =)

Thanks for the reply matey. Glad you got yours sorted. Just tried what you said and I get 0% then it switches to ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR.

hmmm... it works fine on my new x1. are u sure, that u start the ssplmanual on your x1 and not on your computer?

Yea, im not sure what the problem was with it. Thankfully I have it done and dusted today! Because I flashed it earlier to an older official version, and you said you got it working. I presumed you had - had yours flashed to the newest version due to it being off for repair. So I reflashed the official update and fully updated it. Then tried hardspl which didn't work. Tried with the advanced USB thing off, tried again with how you said you did it above, and Viola!
Hip hip hoorah! Thanks for the help. Can finally use me bleedin phone now!

no problem mate hf with your x1

hello,
i see smilies and yea's ...
for me to understanding (for next time or other users):
1. complete official update (if exists)
2. flashing (hardspl) without "advanced usb"
thats all?
cool.

What on earth am I doing wrong when flashing?? *SOLVED!*

Hi, first of all let me begin by saying that I have spent a long time reading around through the guides and forums about flashing rom/radio to my Rohdium but still face problems. I have successfully flash my old TyTN II and Orange E650 but am at a loss as to why Im struggling this time round!
I flashed the Hard SPL which went 'fairly' smoothly, got there in the end after having problems on WIndows 7 64bit and then succeeded using Xp 32. However when trying to flash a new rom and/or radio I am greeted with an error, that being Error 284. I have tried like I say on Win7 64, Xp32 and when the error pops up my phone gets stuck on the process bar and forced to pull battery out. I then put it back in and it freezes on bootloader. The RUU software trys to recover but it is a loop of the same thing happening (attempts and then crashes). The only way to get out of this mess was strangely reflashing HardSPL which recovers it and allows me to boot to Windows. I have tried flashing a radio and/or rom whilst in sync within windows, I have tried flashing when manually forcing the phone to enter bootloader, I even paid the £10 to get the unlocker which would patch the special radio but that even returns the same error. I have the sim card out and storage card, battery charged over 50%. I even tried the Mtty program (sorry if mispelled, at work now and can't fully remember name!) when it was stuck at bootloader and using the "boot" command it boots as far as Touch Pro 2 logo but then doesn't progress, then i resorted to reflashing HardSPL which allowed me to boot properly. I just don't know what else to try!
Like I said Im sorry if this is obvious to someone but I have tried alot!
Many thanks in advance if someone could help!
* Update: Just tried flashing a radio on my works computer (XP 32) and it flashed no problem!? Wonder why my operating systems had an issue?
** SOLVED! ** - got home and randomly tried again on Win7 64 without using my USB extension cable and plugged into a different USB port directly and it worked! Faulty cable maybe, bad luck, who knows, it works!
Thanks.

Sound like maybe your RUU/update utility may have gotten corrupted. I would try to re-download the rom you want to flash over to your home pc again and try to re-flash.
If that doesn't work, you can always flash your rom through the storage card.

hmmm yea thats possible, will try when I get back in couple of hours thanks! Just seemed weird how nothing was working, different roms (cooked roms or shipped roms) and even the security/sim unlocker that I purchased......mystery!

USB cable tends to go bad easily! That might be the reasion why!

Can't Flash Anything

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.
