Hi guys,

I've got a T-Mobile MDA Vario 2 (Hermes).

i used the "HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a" tool so i could then load any ROM i want. I followed the instructions perfectly and then ran the unlocker, and that went fine too, however, when i'm trying to change to a particular ROM version, it gives me a "error 101 : Connection Error" after it tries to check the status of the device......it gets to the tricolour bootloader screen absolutely fine and the screen shows the following -
HERM300
IPL - 1.01

HERM300
SPL-1.40Olipro

It sits saying 'Checking the information onyour device..........please wait' for around 2 minutes, then kicks back and gives me the "Error 101 : Connection Error".

I have tried the search function, but there's not a lot i can find on the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Mark

That drove me crazy too until I finally found a post on another board explaining what to do.

If you notice when the updater is running, your activesync program will exit. Immediatelly restart activesync when you see it exit. It will not reconnect to your device, in fact it will show not connected but that is ok. The ruu is only using the activesync program, not to actual connection to communicate with your device.

I actually created an easily accessible activesync icon on the desktop of my PC so I can restart it quickly. Watch it closely, I have had the activesync program exit up to two times before I ever get the installation underway.

I guess this is normal, based on what I have read elsewhere.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you are successful with this method.
