Error Message When Upgrading ROM........Please help!

[6021080]

Hi All,

I wonder if someone could give me a little advise on a ROM problem.

When trying to upgrade to ANY ROM image & get the following error message:

"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.....

..Error Getting connectiontype"

Then the ROM program closes & goes no further....>Doh!!

I have done a soft & hard re-boot, re-installed MS ActiveSync & even tried on another PC.

Please help!

did you follow this guide to upgrade ?

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:

SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Yes, I certainly tried to follow instructions to the letter & don't think I missed anything.

Any other ideas guy?

Thanks very much. I have now got the latest XDA 1 ROm from the o2 website & have installed the latest radio stack update too.

However I now have no signal! have also tried several other SIM cards & no joy..
