I am in deep sh.., WM6 update screwed and bootloader does not work

[starkus]

Hi all.

I tried to update to WM6 on my Dopod 818 Pro with ProphetTouchIXbeta2. It displayed and error and after hard resetting I can only get the splash screen. So I roamed the forum the whole day downloaded a couple of other WM6 packages (I could not get the WM5 files from the WM6 upgrade guide, link is dead). So I downloaded the ROM updates from the HTC websites for the 818 Pro. I can start the 818 Pro into Bootloader, but whatever ROM file I use will tell me Update Error 260 Cannot connect!!

The Bootloader tells me the following: IPL 2.15.0001 / SPL 2.15.0001 and USB connected. Active Sync will not connect.

Sorry, I am a newbie and should have waited for the official upgrade. But I had to try :)

Thank you in advance for any help!

Cheers,

Markus

Hi,

i had the same trouble some time ago. The false was, that I connect my NEO on an USB Hub, take a direct connection between your PC and your XDA. Also, if it's possible, try another PC. HTH

Put your Prophet in bootloadermode: press Camm button and soft reset at the same time.

In ActiveSync on your PC: DISable connectionsetting "Allow USB connection"

Conect your Prophet to a USBport directly with a cable.

Run a NVID-RUU, perhaps the official VID-RUU doesn't recognize your device anymore.

This should do it.

i can confirm this process

Thanks guys, but the main issue is:

1. I can get into Bootloader
2. BUT ActiveSync does not make a connection with my DEvice in Bootloader and the ROMs I tried cannot connect to my device then.

I tried it on 2 machines (Vista and XP)

Cheers,

Activesync is not supose to conect to phone in bootloder
just run the wm5

Thanks,

but if I run the WM5 by HTC its only goes to the Verify information screen and after that. it says Error [260]: Connection. The Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.

And in the beginning of the process it displays a couple of steps, like check that your battery is at least 50% charged and other ssteps, of which one is, that I have to make sure that ActiveSyc is connected.

Ok, the issue was that only this file from HTC would do the update: RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip.exe

Alle the others I downloaded would not work, also not the files I got from here. One was by the way full of Viruses !


Thanks for your help guys! Will try to get to WM6 again now ;)

which one was "full of viruses" and how you checked it ?

[starkus]

Sorry should have mentioned it before:

It was Prophet"s_2.20.7.34_2.20.7114_02.69.21

Virus or unwanted program 'W32/Sality.L [W32/Sality.L]'

All .exes were infected in that package.
