PROBLEM! After installing "XDA Live" ROM, I can't install ANY other!

[st!x]

Hey guys.

Yes, I'm new here, but not new to phones or computers by any means - trust me.

In any case, what happened was I downloaded the XDA Live version of Windows Mobile 6 for my Hermes (originally Rogers branded) and installed it.

Then, I discovered the actual forum here, and saw Schaps' version of WM6 pro and I want that badly. Regardless of which version I'm trying to upgrade to, I get the same issue.

Here it is:

When I connect the phone normally with ActiveSync and try to upgrade to Schaps' ROM (or Dutty's, or the official one, or the T-Mobile one, or the Qtek one, anything), I get a 260 error saying that my USB cable isn't properly connected. Now I've seen and tried the fixes for that error with no luck. The other error I occasionally get is one saying that my device code isn't correct or something or other. And another one is that my image file is corrupt and that I should check my update utility.

What do I do?

ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

P.S. My bootloader version is 1.11 (I think) as per the following screen during bootloader:

HERM200
IPL-1.01

(The following part is in yellow below the above part)
HERM200
IPL-1.11

I had the same problem.

I then upgraded the boot loader with hard-SPL:

Now it's working fine and I can load any ROM.

I successfully upgraded to SPL-1.10, with the same result (no change).

I'm really unsure of what's going on with this...but I really need to upgrade to Schaps' TouchFLO ROM - and should be able to easily...

When you upgrade the rom, chose hard-spl (safe).

Good luck
