Error 246, 260 and 202

[dee-fu]

hey guys,

I'm freakin' out... I followed the instructions on trinityguides.info to upload the Hard-SPL. However, even though the Active Sync is working and the RUU seems to connect to the mobile and everything if going fine so far I get this bloody 246 and that bitchy thingy of a mobile is going into the three colour mode... Ok, not a big deal. As I've read in the FAQ just start the RUU again and it should be cool... well, its not... now I get a 260. Nevertheless, I've not given up yet. I tried the installation again. This time without accepting the message on the mobile, after a while I get another error 202....

so please guys... where is the trick??? I read something about go into bootloader manually - I reckon that's the camera,power and hard reset button combo. When should I do this???

I also downloaded all three of this roms, 1.20, 1.30 and the other Macrofl or so....

I'm running XP SP2, Active Sync 4.5,
Mobile: HTC P3600, IPL-0.50, SPL-1.07.0000, WM5 German

Hi,

I had the same kind of problem just a few days ago... and I solved it simply using my SD memory. Using it, you bypass the pc (and the connection between the PDA and PC) and all this type of problems "connection-depending".
You can flash your PDA putting the rom image on the SDcard (how you should do, you can read here here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SDCardFlashing))...

Ciao

hey tompo,

thx for your help, but I still have problems. I formated my Sandisk 2GB ultra II SD card and copied the RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the SD. Then I renamed the file to TRINIMG.nbh and went manually to the bootloader. However, there was only a short flickering of a grey screen that said "loading", after that I was back in that three colour thingy.... crap.... what the hell am I doing wrong???

seems as i have though luck with that mobile....

Any more hints???

cheers

Ok.....You wanna get to the 3 strip screen?
Make sure the battery has a 50% of its charge.
-Turn the device off.(DON´T HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER YET) so it should be off and unplugged.
-Press and HOLD camera button + power button,now you should see the 3 strips,if so you can hook it up to the usb port.
Got it?
I don´t remember now if you have to follow this step first:

Like I said I´m not sure,but take a look.....if you brick the phone there´s a way to fix it.

See ya.

thank you guys for the support,

however, the source of the prob was the SD card. Even though I formatted the SD in my laptop with FAT32 and no label, it seemed to me that the mobile couldn't access it. I've done it several times - didn't work. Finally, I thought lets format the thingy with the mobile itself - voila - it worked.... I dono if something with my card reader is wrong... the SD was working fine with tomtom and was accessible in both (laptop and mobile) without flaws. Only the bloody flashing didn't work as it should be.... well, I don't mind any more, may be its a solution for another desperate trinity user....

Cheers guys - I'm runnin' on WM6.1 now....*sweet* :D

hello could you please say how did you format with the trini, cuz I'm really new and unable to find that function.
I have exactly the same problems, but no external card reader

Many thx
