Having trouble flashing

[jjb007]

Hey guys, I am trying to flash Dutty's newest rom, but im having some trouble...

When I double click the RUU.exe file, I put a check in the checkbox, hit continue. then put another check, hit continue, then I get an error saying:

"Error [200]: Invalid update tool"
"Please get newer update utility"


This is odd because I read on the Wikki that you get this error if you don't have HardSPL, but I do. In fact, I have flashed at least 4 or 5 different roms on this phone. Another thing is that my phone isnt in activesync mode, and for some reason when I try to install activesync (directly from microsoft's website and from the CD that came with my tilt) I get an error saying that it wont install... And another weird thing is that this never stopped it before, I have flashed a rom without it being in activesync with the computer...

When I tried to install Microsoft's activesync directly from their website, I double click the setup.msi file, and then it says :

"preparing installation..."


"The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 could be completely installed.

Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.

Click Finish to exit the wizard"

And this happens every time I try it... I have tried redownloading the file and I get the same issue... I even checked to see if maybe I downloaded the wrong version (like the vista version or something) but I downloaded the correct one.


Now, when I try to install activesync from the CD that came with my Tilt, I get an error saying that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player, So i click on the link that it gives me, and I updated it. Even though it is currently up to date, I STILL get this error every time I try, even after restarting my computer.



Any ideas?

put the phone in bootloader and tell me exactly what it says there.

I can't help with the active sync problem (you don't have vista, do you?) but as for flashing...flash from the sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158

put the phone in bootloader and tell me exactly what it says there.

excuse my noobness :confused: , but im not sure what that means

OK, with the phone powered on, press and hold the camera button and insert the stylus in the reset hole until the tri-colored screen comes up. This is bootloader. Tell me what it says there, exactly.

After you put your phone in bootloader mode as P1 said, you will see something like this:

KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8

Once you make a record of what is displayed, reply back with it.

[jjb007]

ok, this is what it says (in the top red box):

KAIS1* MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8

Then in the white box it says: "Serial"

Since you already have it in the boot loader just keep it there and try to flash it, see if you get any errors that way.

What version of Windows is on your computer?

If your running vista you need the mobile device center, not activesync.

[jjb007]

Im using windows XP, I will try flashing while it is in bootloader, I edit my post once I see if it is successful or not.


**It did not work when I tried flashing from the bootloader screen, I got the same error

which rom are you flashing your device with?

[jjb007]

I am trying to flash Dutty's newest ROM, and right now Dutty's 3rd or 4th newest one is on my phone.

[XtreMe_G]

after you put your device in bootloader, and connected it to the pc, did the word "serial" change to "usb"? and were drivers loaded for the device? there should be a htc usb sync or microsoft usb sync in your device manager

Yea, I dont see either of those in my device manager...

Sounds like you're missing the drivers. Need to roll 'em back to the XP drivers.

Alrighty... so how do I go about doing that? :)

You use google or XDA search via google. Try ROM flashing with Vista, etc...

Remember, there is a lot of valid data in Hermes forum as well ;)

jjb, I had the same problem the other night on my home computer with XP. Luckily, I did not have the same problem with my work computer, also with xp. Something happended on the home computer to fcuk up the drivers (i'm guessing, as GSLEON pointed out). I had the same install issues with Activestinc. I had these issues in the past (at least 6 months ago) and was able to finally get Activestinc installed after rebooting multiple times. This time I only tried once before I waited to go back to the office and flash. I'm not sure what to do to rebuild(?) the drivers, but you might try a different computer. Also, my google search (for the 200 error) the other night pulled up a different web site that listed a lot of error codes and what they mean. I'm gonna try and figure out my driver issues with activstinc this weekend and I will post if successful.

Thanks for the input... im going to try re-installing windows when I get the chance and hopefully that will clear up this driver issue.

rather than going through all the trouble trying to solve this problem, i would just flash using the microsd card
