M3100 ROM Upgrade

[pbunn]

Hi, Excuse me if this has been answered already but I couldn't find it if it has!

I'm trying to upgrade my M3100 to WM6 - Schaps 4.31. I've unlocked the phone and installed Hard SPL v7. When it goes through the Schaps upgrade, I get to the final 'next' button, press it and then the progress bar appears. The M3100 screen goes blank, activesync closes and then the upgrade hangs. Then a Error 260 conection message comes up and, after a few minutes, the M3100 bursts into life.

I've tried resetting the PC and the M3100 with no sucess. I am using Activesync 4.5 & Windows XP SP2

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Phil

Try disabling all firewalls, it may be worth trying to flash using the SDCard method. This is a very common issue I'm sure if you search the forum for 260 you will find loads of entries.

Also have a read of this which should help you.

The official Orange M3100 ROM (and probably most official ROMs) comes with a doc which explains all of the error numbers and what to do.

My suggestion would be to do the following as you'll be told to try this before looking further into it:

instead of connecting to ActiveSync and running the update .exe file, do this:

Disconnect device from desktop PC altogether;
Open ActiveSync;
Go into File > Connection Settings and UNcheck the 'allow USB' option - odd as that may seem;
Put your Hermes into bootloader mode (press and hold left-side 'ok' button and right-side 'power' button whilst soft-resetting with stylus), seeing tri-colour screen and the word 'Serial';
When in tri-colour screen, with 'Serial' displayed, THEN connect device to desktop PC via USB cable, even though you've disabled USB connections;
'Serial' will change to 'USB' on the tri-colour screen;
Run the update from Schap's or whoever.

Hopefully that will have worked. Good luck, mon ami.

Chunkymonkey, Progress I think....

Bootloader screen comes up but now I get 1% progress on the update and then Error 244 Invalid Model ID.

For info - bootloader screen reads:-

IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10 Olipro

Thanks

Invalid Model ID?

Although you have Olipro's clever rework of SPL on (good), have you also Super-CIDed your M3100?

I thought I had - I tried a Vodafone SIM card in it and it worked. I'll do it again to be sure.

Chunkeymonkey,

Used HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a to Super-CID - I still get the error 244 Invalid ID....:(

Odd. Should only do that when the Hermes believes the ROM you're using isn't meant for it.

Can't remember if the Super-CID happens automatically with the SIM-unlock using that tool or if it is optional. If it was optional, might want to make sure it actually IS super-CID as you might just be sim-unlocked maybe.

To check CID status use mtty.exe. Put your phone into bootloader, disable USB connections in ActiveSync on desktop PC (File > Connections > Disable USB connections) and then plug Hermes to PC. Run mtty and type task 32. Response "Level=0xFF" means it's NOT Super-CID. Response "Level=0" means it IS Super-CID.

Came back with "level=0" but still no joy flashing the rom.

I had exactley the same problem with my M3100.

Try using a different USB port on your PC. Don't what the difference was but it worked for me.

Re downloaded Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.30_WWE_Full.exe and all seems to work OK. Not sure if there was an issue in the original download but it all looks cool now.

probably would have been worth loading 4.31 WWE. Very stable and fast.

Nice one mate :)

Now gone to version 4.31 and the phone skin has gone back to the old style.

Do you know where I can get the updated one from? Is there a cab file available?

[raggers]

if you go to --> Start > Settings > Today it should show a list of themes you can apply. just select one and press 'ok'. sorry if this isnt what u mean

Raggers,

No that's not what I mean. In version 4.30 there was a different phone pad tothe one I have with version 4.31 - it has gone back to a wm5 type. Also - there is no 'Airplane' mode in connection manager that allows me to turn everthing off in one hit.
