Help please! - Is this a bootloader problem?

[woodae]

Hi,
I keep getting error (Code 43) when trying to upgrade my O2 2002 ROM to WM2003SE.
I've tried everything to get around the error, the only thing i haven't changed yet is the bootloader version. (Currently on v 5.22)
If anyone can provide some advice this would be great.
Thanks
W

Bootloader 5.22 is alright. Have it also and do not have any Problems with it.....

Have you tried another PC to do the upgrade?

Hi Stefan,
Yeah - I have tried other machines to do the upgrade - 2 laptops and a desktop.
All report the same error.

The wierd thing for me is that it seems to be Windows XP that reports the error - I get a Code 43 error in device manager - I've attached an image of the error i get.

I've also upgraded all my laptops USB drivers, chipset, BIOS - basically everything to see if it was a problem with a version of the driver or firmware i was running but the error remains unchanged.

Everything runs just fine until Programme A wants to upload the new image - the screen where you should see the progress bar as the new ROM is uploaded - I see that screen for a split second before the Qtek reboots back into the old ROM!

Thanks for the reply

Code 43
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)


You could try a different usb port and also make sure it is connected direct and not through a hub.

Yup!
Tried both my USB ports, also tried disabling the "USB Root Hub" in Device manager - I don't have a USB hub plugged into my laptop, but there is one reported in Device Manager - I guess it's internal to the PC?

I figured that if there was a hub built into the laptop that would cause the communication problems experienced by USB hubs.
I couldn't disable all the USB Root Hub instances without switching off the USB port, so i closed all the ones i could and still have the port alive.

Still got the problem - The USB Root Hub in Device Manager - you think this is the "Hub" that the upgrade documentation says will create the error?

Thats it! Back to the Good ol T-Mobile v4 ROM.
I've done everything including downgrade my laptop to Win 98 to try USB 1 drivers for this WM 2003 SE upgrade.
I've read every research article, installed every patch, been through TechNet and MSDN libraries.
This thing will just not work!
The universe is trying to tell me something!!

usb and 98 is not the best match

some chipset require special drivers for usb to behave like via

with xp having the latest service pack is prob a good idear
