I installed an "updated" HTC Home Screen Plugin (obviously not for my phone model #) and now my phone is frozen. It will boot up but the home screen is frozen (i.e., non-responsive to any button presses). I attempted to re-flash the ROM using various ones I found for the NEON but all fail for the same reason.

Specifically, connection to ActiveSync is not possible (I connect via USB cable but ActiveSync doesn't recognize device). So what I do is put the phone in bootloader mode and then connect the USB cable. When I do this, the ROM upgrade program recognizes the phone and gets to the point where it shows the screen "Updating the ROM image on your PDA Phone.." and the phone shows a status bar at 0%. However, after a minute the computer screen says "ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR" and the phone is stile stuck at 0%.

My question is if there is any other way I can re-flash my NEON300? I've heard that it may be possible to but the nbh file on a FAT32 formatted card. I tried this by naming the nbh file to "TOUCHIMG.NBH" and "NEONIMG.NBH" but neither are recognized by the bootloader.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Try changing usb port or even re-installing activesync.

Alot pf people had the same problem on different devices but the cause should be the same.

Thanks for the advice Seth. I followed the link (install/re-install of ActiveSync didn't help) and I think I found my problem. Do I need to CID unlock the phone to install the ROM's? I ran the type 32 command from mtty and it shows a value of FF for the security lock.

Thanks
