Cannot Flash Custom Rom Error 266 - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As of now, my SPL is downgraded to 1.18, with RSPL and HSPL already installed. I downloaded Windows Mobile Device center, I'm running Windows 7 x86...
I always get the "not connected" message with the device center no matter what, even though I see Windows Mobile drivers in device panel. I've downloaded Deepshining Rom, double clicked on the ROM updater and first thing is it does not show my current image on the phone, when I keep clicking next, I get to the installation screen, with a 0% and then I get the Error 266 message.
I've restarted numerous times, not sure what is going on.

windows driver
drivers all installed in the PC? see in Device Manager check your wp7 device installed correctly, bite also uninstall and re-install wp7 device drivers. I think the error in communication between the PC and the device of wp7

I'm suffering the same problem. Any idea how to counter it? Having HD7 with CotullaHSPL installed. Previously installed deepshine custom room

same problem
me too i have the same problem and i can't find any answer of that
pls can anyone help here that would be great

You need to run in XP both Zune and ActiveSync for the connection to take place.

Very new person, why am i having so much trouble?

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.

then i try to upgrade through my freind windows xp ... and also didn't work good .. the error message say that the phone is unable to upgrade do u rom flash or something like that ... so i try to instal the unlock & also same message ....
i'm in **** mood ...
any one can help me please
Until the new version of WMDC is released with fixes, I suggest you use XP computer to do upgrade.
New WMDC v.6.1 coming soon: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/w...ows-mobile-device-center-6-1-coming-soon.aspx
The XP computer needs to have Active Sync 4.5 installed. Reboot xp computer before starting, to clear any existing syncs. Delete current sync profile on Trin. Connect to pc via usb as usual, let ASync run, but cancel when it tries any profile, you are left as: Guest sync
You should be connected now. Upgrade rom file should be extracted in explorer, e.g., so you can see all files. Run RUU wrapper or ROMUpgrade exe, depending on rom you're using.
If you go through process, & get error message. Don't disconnect Trinity. Close that page & start again. It should work the 2nd time. When it's working, you will see the boot screen, color bars & at bottom usb notation. (If it says serial, you'll have to, unhook usb connection, reboot computer, re-sync to guest status, & start again.) Then the update screen on Trin will show % bar, if process is working correctly.
If you still get error message, then check Trinity Wiki info as rom upgrade problem FAQ is there. I'll assume your Trin is unlocked. Check boot screen on Trin to see boot loader info. Wiki explains how.
Also: Use SSPL software Bootloader solution from "Des" - this loader ignores the CID and the upgrade will work also with wrong CID. See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
If you still have problem, come back here & give info:
1. What rom is currently on Trin? What radio?
2. Did you buy an unlocked Trin? Exactly, what device do you have?
3. What wm6 rom do you want to upgrade to?

Cant Flash / Hard SPL via USB....any ideas?

Some some strange reason if I try and hard spl / flash via usb method Windowds Mobile Device centre drops out half way through the process (when phone goes into boot screen) and the install fails because the phone is no longer sync'd with the PC....
I have never had this issue before....which is why it is puzzling me..
I get an error message on the PC saying: "Error [206]: Connection"
PC is running Win 7, 64bit if that makes any difference...
p.s do I need to hard spl each time I install a rom? I kind of do it now out of habbit......

Windows 7 x64 is the problem, you need hacked drivers.
update the drivers of your phone with the ones attached here.
You don't have to do HardSPL every time, only one time is enough.

Since when do you need a hacked driver to flash Xperia X1 using Windows 7 64 bit?
I've been flashing using my PC which is on Windows 7 64 bit, never have I used hacked drivers.

Thanks for the reply.
I have unzipped the folder, but am unsure what I have to do with the files....
Sorry for being such a n00b....
I have a Windows 7 x64 PC and got no problem flashing different ROM's on this thread. As what the others have said, you only need to HardSPL your phone once and then you can flash any ROM you want. You don't need any drivers as I have not installed any on my PC. Maybe your phone's battery is below50% during the time of flashing? If that's a no go for you, why don't you try flashing using the SD Card method?

Cannot get the spl changed!!! Help

I have followed all the instructions on this website!! I have microsoft Vista and I installed the appropriate drivers on my phone to change the USB and everytime I try run USPL GUI v 2.5 I get a message saying Error accessing device. The phone is in bootloader mode as well while I do this and I tried to do the SSPL MAnual Touch HD on my phone and got error messages as well.....what am I doing wrong! Im stumped
Surely this phone is out of Warranty

You're out of warranty right?
So why not just use HardSPL?
Regards,
Tigermoto.
Same problem with Vista and Seven, even with the drivers that should work.
My solution is using an old backup notebook with XP.
Please post further queries/responses regarding flashing, USPL & HSPL here. No need for another thread

[Q] HTC HD7 desaster mango update

Hi every one ! i have a HTC HD7 from T-mobile and i did the Mango beta update on it and i did not make a backup file, i have been trying to go back to the previous OS settings but all of the programs or ROM that i try running, can not see the phone connected to the computer. I get error 260, not one of ansar ROM can see my cell as been connected even though i check that it is and that active sync sees the phone as been plugged in and the drivers are installed. Can any one help me to do this down grade, please
you'll need to d/l a rom from ansthar, based on who your cell phone provider is.
Please, give some more info about your phone (OS version,Radio software version etc...).
You can find them on your phone (settings - about htc hd7 - more info).
Thanx
the phone is a T-mobile HTC HD7
OS 7661.WP7_5_Trial
(mojobld).20110607-1657 what is this?
Radio software version:5.51.09.11axxxxxxx09U
Firmwear revision number xxxxxxxxxxxx.531
you see i did use the windows phone support tool and i run the tool to its completion but the mango update did not install, than i downloaded a program called "provision" than i downloaded the zune 4.8 than the update started automatically and smoothly . i soon after deleted the window phone support tool thinking that i would not need it again, until i read that i need a back up to restore my phone if i wanted to install the mango update later. will i have downloaded just about every tool out there to restore my phone but when i run the tool it does not see the phone as been connected , i checked and i see the phone plug in my activesync so i was wondering that since mango is installed this programs do not see it since they where made for nodo. your help will be greatly appretiated , thanks in advance
Are you using the new Zune for Mango? cause the old zune won't recognise your phone
try this link Here
See if you can go back with zune... ALWays BAck Up!!
Ok. To what tfn wrote I say YES you should always make a backup and you can do it as it's explained on the link he provided.
For Your phone, since you dont have backup go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876451 and find RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09U_by_ansar.
Download it - this is original ROM for flashing your phone - it will take you back to 7004 version. Follow the instructions in ansars post.
This one worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344 - here you can follow instructions for updating to NoDo and Mango.
Now some important thing...
1. When you are taking beckup you have to have Zune 4.7 installed (not 4.8)
2. You can also see my thread (it could be helpfull) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179095
I hope you will make it!
i will give this a try and thanks for the help
i guess i'm **** out of luck, i did everything as written on the post and I did manage to get the ChevronWP7. ChevronWP7 does not see the phone as been connected , i try the steps with zune4.7 and 4.8 and i get the same message the chevronwp7 can not connect to the phone, also when i run the Application Deployment throws an error stating that the phone is developer locked and i need to contact Microsoft for steps on how to unlock it .
I need some help..can someone with a T-Mobile US phone please list all regedit keys for the HD7. After screwing around with the regedit settings to enable the HD7 read as a storage device, this happened and is the cause for Zune or any other program to not read the phone.. thanks in advance. i need all regedit keys with values and exact name.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF

Did you get your phone to 7004 version with flashing?
If yes then:
1. send to your e-mail (which you have configured on your phone) chevron.cer in attachment
2. open that mail on your phone and tap on attacment
3. install cetificate
4. in settings on the phone turn on FLIGHT MODE
5. connect the phone to a computer and start Zune
6. run Chevronwp7.exe as administrator
7. check those 2 boxes and press unlock
DONE.
I just did it on mine hd7 (just to be sure).
No i could not do a thing, no one of the steps that you have recommended have work, all i get is an error message from every single software that the device is not connected so i cant do a thing . is like my phone is not connected and i get error. i get the same error weather i have zune 4.7 installed or 4.8 . i also get a message from Application Deployment : the device is pin locked or the device is developer locked , contact microsoft on how to unlock the device or go to a web address . I mite be missing some drivers or something
To downgrade, you need to boot into the bootloader first.
1) Power off the phone (while disconnected from USB)
2) Hold volume up and press the power button
3) Continue to hold volume up until you see the RGB screen
At this point it will say something like "Serial Mode"
4) Plug in USB
5) Wait until it says something like "USB Mode" (you may need to install drivers on your PC, they're available via windows update, so you don't need to go searching for them)
At this point, you can run ROMUpdateUtility.exe, and it should succeed.
EDIT:
You only need to do this if downgrading via the RUU. To restore a backup via Zune, this is unnecessary.
The only program that seems to see the hd7 connected to the computer is zune4.8 if I install 4.7 it just does not see the phone connected. I got a windows XP tower hat I'm thinking to try all this steps and see if I can do it, actually do all the software I downloaded would work in windows XP?
Try the steps that I mentioned. If Zune opens, close it.
I had the exact same issue that you are, and this is how I was able to revert to a earlier version.
