you may have been not so carefully with the USB connection contact of the phone, or you ahve charged the phone at car while you were starting the car engine..some guys repaired this in service, or it passes by itself.
at me i tried different days and different softs ... and i did i, i got the same error.

The phone usb connector is fine, i dont charged the phone in a car as i dont own a car

so what is ther soultion there is nothing wrong with the phone or the connector as it connects up via usb and uses active sync also installing other software and transferring pictures, music to and from it also work fine!

i can see both the phones memory and sc card in my computer.

its just this bloody rom file and error 206 that i am still needing someones expert advise and step by step help on

After searching this forum, this came up:

Title: USPL - 100% Working in vista
step 7 says:
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)

Suggest you read that thread, hopefully it solves your problem.
