Hey guys, I've used the search function to find an answer to this 262 error when updating to the latest rom. Mostly the answer was that the HardSPL needed to be installed, yet I've soft reset my phone and checked that hardspl has been installed.. and it has?
I've tried about 4 times now, and each time the install bar doesnt get any further than 0%. Any help or abuse welcome, please use small non technical words because I'm new to this, and all your abbreviations are driving me wild
which version on Hard SPL do u have? (can be checked by going into bootloader - instructions in Wiki)
What ROM are u trying to Flash?
Solved now guys, thanks for the feedback anyway.
Mods can close the post now.
How did you solve this problem? I have not been able to solve this yet.
It is so damn annoying, nomatter what I do I keep getting that darn error :S
This happens with evrything that I try to install.
The onlything that I have been able to install was HardSPL.
But even tho I installed it, does it not work :/

I try to upgrade ROM by SER-v1.2 for my ET180,
When I run XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe,
error occur:
ERROR: GetDeviceData - Unspecific error
error getting devicedata
does anyone know the reason?
thanks
I think the problem is, that the ET180 isn't a HTC Wallaby device.
Never heard this name before......

Are you trying to flash your XDA II with a cooked ROM made for XDA I ??!!
no ... whichever rom i try... i get the same problem...
1. i double click the rom exe file.
2. a small dos window opens up, where i presume its trying to get some data from the phone.. it shows... FAILED TO GET DATA FROM PHONE...
3. the installation window open .... when i click NEXT.. it shows error getting data from phone. please check USB connection etc..
i phone is synced properly before i start the installation. i tried it by disabling the sync as well.
i even tried the i-mate 1.72 rom version . same thing. i even tried the A3.09 cooked rom for wm2003.
whats going wrong? is there a way i can run the exe on the phone itself, by transfering it to the documents file or something???
please let me know.. wierd thing is that i've got my O2 XDA II with 1.66 & not 1.60. i actually want to put 1.60, but when i log onto myxda.com & try downloading it, it says ur phone does not need to download it as it got a latat verion already installed.(obviously ive registered my phone there with my imei no)
any ideas?? please let me know. 1.66 is not stable & im having lots of problems with the sound. & sometimes i get a call, but my phone does not ring.
all this started with SBP's software.. especially Phone Plus II.
since ive removed it, its better but yet not good enough. maybe i should just do a hard reset. But how many times can i keep doing that??
its irritating.

I 'm totally confused!! ... which ROM you are using to flash which device ??!!!
cooked WM2003 ROMs (like 30.09 and 4.01.16) are made for only Wallaby devices (XDA I) ... the 1.60, 1.66, 1.72 ... etc are made for only Hymalia devices (XDA II) .... now what is the exact error you get when you are doing exactly what ?
Hi guys, I've read and used the forum for years and upgraded my Cingular 8525 a ton without troubles (followed Vanx's method for vista and for upgrading), but this is the first time I'm really stuck without a clue.
I had Schaps latest OS on my phone working fine for about three days. It was charging with the USB hook up to my Computer. I pulled the USB out and the phone entered bootloader. I couldn't get it out. I tried using mtty to no avail, hard reset ect., but finally used the SD loading method to put TNT's latest on it (don't know why this worked). Here's the thing though, the phone will load fine on first load after I flash, but if I soft reset or turn the phone off and on it goes right into bootloader mode. The only way I can get it to load up again is to connect it to the computer's USB, take out the battery and then put it back in. the OS then boots up without fail.
I have read a ton and searched on the forum, and if any of you can help me understand what the hell I can do to fix my phone I would really appreciate it. I will post anymore info you guys would like, I really need your help on this one.
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I posted exactly the same problem today ! here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381284
It's really strange !
Dave
I've been reading everything and it appears that Schaps's new version seems to have this problem sometimes....I have the exact same problem as everyone else (mtty gives me the same results), and flashing a new rom doesn't get rid of it....I hope there is some way to fix this!
maybe I'll try flashing a new radio and see if that helps things....
I did notice that flashing Schaps 4.31 seems to include radio 1.50 and I had changed my anyway to 1.43 as I thought that was better for my area.
Not sure a radio will help. Maybe a different ROM version will ? Maybe 3.54 ?
I have flashed TNT's rom as well and it still has the problem now....I'm flashing a new radio as I type, I'm going to have to reflash the OS too, it just got stuck again as it was restarting.
Just a quick thing, I think I have solved my problem (not sure if it is permanent) by powering the phone off and on. Not resetting, just a simple power off. I spoke to a colleague who said the way it shuts down is different to soft reset (makes sense) and I haven't powered my phone off properly for a long time.
I have tried soft reset a couple of times since doing this and it hasn't gone to the bootloader screen once.
Maybe this is the simple fix.
I will keep you posted.
try to flash OFFICIAL ROM first , maybe there are few bug / missing file when error appear while flashing other ROM.
I hope it will help you both.
rgds,
ermen
Use mtty to see if yo have any bad blocks... I've had a few problems the same as yours and found I had 1 or 2 extra bad blocks, after the 2 "factory standard" bad blocks I got on my jasjam of course. hope this helps...
My fix didn't work.
Not sure what I am suppossed to see when I run "task 2a".
Has anyone had any luck fixing this ?
Hi, i have been trying for the last month and a half to try another rom on my hermes,but it seems i can't.
i have flashed many Roms and i never had a problem in doing that till the las time when i tried to flash into the new S64.
every time i try flashing into any new rom it rejects me by giving me the (ERROR 260) telling me i'm not connected and the USB cardle thing, but all of my connections are correct and my ActiveShyn is up to date and i was always flashing roms in the same way.
Some seniors here when i have mentioned that told me that it seems i have flashed or reflashed the Hardspl, so i'm trying to reflash the Hardspl, i have tried endless times but it keeps telling me the same althought i have downloaded almost every hardspl that is available in the xda site lol.
what i'm requesting please if possible to direct me in the steps that i need to make my hermes functional again please i'm sure u understand what i'm saying.
some have mentioned that cause i still have the
herm100 i can't flash it into another roms but that sounds a bit strange lol.
I know that i have still herm100 (old) and my ipl-1.01
and spl-1.06 but i think that dosn't matter in my opinion.
Please i request if u can help me in fixing my problem by providing me the steps by simple words and if you have a fresh zips of hardspl coz i'm so confused which one to use, it would be nice to hear how to do it step by step.
i really need your support and excuse me if i'm bothering u with this kind of request but i didn't know where else to go and ask.
My Current rom is the HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6[1].1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.03.2008 which is old and i would like to refresh my phone by a new version.
i was thinking of the new HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3 / GER v1 but i don't know if it would work on my herm100 cause i was told it was designed for herm200 and abouve is that true?
If not well there are so many more roms out there i would like to try but i'm stuck for the moment.
please again i wouldn't have bothered u with my request if i wasn't facing this problem.
thank u a lot and i hope to hear soon from u commrade.
Dayhauck.
have you tried to manually go into the bootloader and flash? You don't need activesync to flash like that if you're connected with USB. Also, from your SD card. Both have worked for me in the past.
Though you should have Hard SPL installed if you want to use the sd card method.
i have tried to do it manualy but i not much of a luck in loading the Hard SPL.
I really don't know what to do. i can't even f;ash to the original htc rom .
what else can i do?
1. Check your usb cable.
2. Try different USB ports in ur PC,
3. Check if the mini USB in Hermes is not damaged.
4. Check the bootloader if you have HardSPL installed.
5. Try SD method,
6. Read the wiki.
check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for sd card method for Hard SPL V7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
I had the same problem. If you can activesync with the cable then all you need to do as already mentioned above.
With the phone attached manually go into bootloader (hold on/off on right of phone and 'ok' on the left of phone both in while you prod the phone reset at the bottom of the device).
When you have the multicoloured boot loader run the update and it should work fine.
Hope this is some hepl
Hello all.
I have just bought an o2 Xda Ignito (aka HTC TOUCH DIAMOND).
I want to flash it to a cooked rom. And after reading up about it on this site, it would seem that I would need to install HSPL onto my device.
Well that is where the problem lies. I get the 262 error when trying to flash it with HSPL. I have even tried to do it the manual way (placing the SSPL onto the device, run it, then install it via my computer.
I still have no luck. I have tried this more than enough times with no joy...
I've read up on a few threads with the 262 error with no joy.
It just sticks on 0% and then the above error comes up. I can't understand why it wont work.
If you need any information let me know.
Cheers.
Hi,
What version of HardSPL are you trying to install?

I'm using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
But I have tried 2 different HSPL versions.
One of them gave me the white loading screen and then it just froze
The other just gives me a black screen and stays black, although one time i did get the phone to show the % bar on the screen, but that froze on 0% too :\.
Thank you for the response.
So I presume then you tried the most common 1.4? What were the other two.
You could try this 1.93 (HERE) if not done so already.
Run this from your PC - during the process a message appears on you device screen asking to run an .exe (select yes) the the process should start. You may find that nothing appears to happen for a while, which is not the case.
Please do not do anything until you see the processed completely finished or the system error out.

Glad it worked for you.
Happy flashing

If you care to read the thread, you should notice that, and the issue is resolved.

There is no need for me to search - HE DOES NOT HAVE A TOUCH DIAMOND 2 - What he owns is a carrier customised Diamond (1st diamond) FFS.
See Here
and for your information this is the diamond 2 HERE
Please no more silly comments about it being a TD2
i own a htc diamond indian version. it has rom version 1.37.720.2.wwe. i downloaded the upgrade from official site. but it stops at 0‰ and gives error 262. what should i do
So..my phone is rather useless at the moment. Won't load the rom after freezing up while i slept last night. I go into bootloader and try to reflash but get the error "Invalid update tool" and it says something about a newer version. Has anyone had this error or know how to fix it? I am in desperate need of assistance here. Thank you for all replies in advance.
Edit: The exact error is as follows
Code:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was running Kavana cooked rom 6.1.
I have tried to reflash with atleast 5 different roms and they all present this error.
Just checking, but did you try the default ROM for your device? If it is a T-mobile Dash, you will want to use one the the Tmobile stock ROM's first.

I know this might be a stupid question of me but, did you do a hard reset?
Why would you make another thread regarding issues with your phone, when you already have a thread going about problems with your phone?
Please post accordingly You should've posted this other issue on your previous thread, rather than making a new one! Can you imagine if everyone would make a thread for every little issue with their phone?

It won't hard reset. I made a new topic because this is a completely different problem. I apologize if it was not necessary.
Bump.
Any ideas at all?
Ah yes.
My bomb didn't detonate until some time Wed/Thu night. 6am Thu morning I had to be at my local Polling Station where I was to be the 'Presiding Officer'.
Bad, bad timing.
Still, I managed a hard reset without the SD card in, (this took a few attempts), and having basic phone function, off I went to do my bit for European Democracy - honestly, the whole thing would be chaos without me ...
Anyway, I digress. I do that quite a lot. There was this one time ...
... I didn't get 'round to trying to sort it all out until Sat afternoon, (the phone, not the European Parliament), and as I have flashed this phone to buggery and beyond I expected it to take little time.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I downloaded the latest version of the Energy ROM, (love it, love it, love it), ran the .bat file and; error 270.
I sparked up the bootloader and, of course, no connected device meant no update. I tried various 'stock' ROMs and got the same error you describe.
In UK, my provider is BT and there is no image link in the stickies, (I have finally found one, I will send a Mod a link), and tracking a full basic .exe image proved really difficult.
However, once found, all my problems evaporated.
So, find an executable basic ROM image from the phones' original provider, fire up the bootloader, run the .exe and a few minutes later you will be able to reflash.
Honest.
I believe you can also load the image as a .cab file onto the SD card and install from there but I didn't have to investigate this so can't promise anything. Sorry.
The ROM image is the key.
Once the bomb detonates, hard reset etc seems to become a bit flakey - keep trying.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Another beer I think ...
** Edit **
Yes, of course the BT ROM is now working.
Now I don't need it.
Ah well.
