Error 100 when connecting in Bootloader mode.

---

Hi,

I have a M2000 which started to up the Orange NL ExtRom version 1.40.230. When I ran the app it went into bootloader mode (USB/v2.07)but BaUpgradeUT reports Error 101 and Exits.

Sooo, I downloaded the original shipping ROM and tried with that - same result, then tried using MaUpgradeUt_noID in the same folder as the original ROM - as it ignores the information that is reported back (apparently none in my case). It tells me on the next screen that it is upgrading from <blank> to <blank> - worrying. Click Upgrade and I get Error 150: ROM Upgrade Utility Error. Try to do the same with the 1.40 ROM by locating the temporary files for the .exe and running MaUpgradeUt_noID from there - same error.

It's now stuck in bootloader mode...I didn't put anything on to this before, so I can't see how the operator code would be overwritten.

Much as the M2000 works as a desk paperweight, I'd rather find a way of pushing a viable image onto it and getting it back working. Any suggestions as I am running a C500 as a replacement and going nuts with it's lack of, well, anything...

TIA

P.S. Even another ROM that will load onto it would be useful, so that I can get it back into a state where I can mess around with it again...

do you have a firewall and antivirus installed?
if i would disable them then try flashing again, I got my c500 stuck in bootloader mode after trying to sim unlock it with firewall and antivirus running
disabled them and re-ran the sim unlock and it worked, so hopfully it is the same problem as you are getting with the rom
