Apologies but have scoured all the threads and cannot seem to get to a straight answer!

Have a tocuh-dual which I attempted to update to the latest ROM from HTC and now I have the "tri-colour screen of death!) and can get no further,

The screen shows in thered band - RUUNBH | NIKI100 | SPL-1.16.0000 | CPLD-4. The white band shows "serial" and when I connect the USB lead it shows "USB".

But the PC does not recognise it at all and when I try to load a ROM or run MTTY nothing is found. How can I run a program on the touch if the PC will noit see it through the USB connection?

Any ideas?

Does your PC have active Sync installed? I had a similar problem when I installed a broken rom that would not boot up. I did a device reset using the stylus in the whole next to the USB, while holding the camera and power button to boot into the tri color screen. Once hear i plugged in my USB cable and ran a ROM install.

I hope this helps.

uncheck allow usb-connection in Active Sync
run mtty connect by USB
type "boot" without quotes.

I try to connect with mtty and it says usb port cannot open. my pc can recognise it and in da phone it shows usb though, i don't really know why its not taking. if i type "boot" in mtty what will happen? cos when i click on com3 its opening but when i write "boot" nothing happening even with boot. any ideas guys? how to solve the problem????:mad:

Just one point - I am using Vista which does not use Activesync but Sync Centre and that does not give you the option to disable as far as I can see?

Use xp mate, cos vista has got some problems. normally for unlocking and upgrading i use xp. blow up the vista .

If any Program use the USB Port ... no other Program can use the USB at the same time!
