I've soft-reset, hard-reset, followed and understood and read every instruction but I just cannot get it to upgrade. The phones unlocked, the apps are unlocked.

Im now completely bog-eyed n I cant concentrate anymore, so im leavin it till the morrow. THankx very...ill be back
active-sync problem
well, ive followed every single instance from all the options available and everything goes fine until it gets to the actual updating point and then active-sync cuts off,10 seconds later i get error 260 saying im not connected. Ive left it all alone to see if it will update as the usb cable is still attached but no. I havent had this problem with any other phone update or unlock or debranding. Ive noticed on google that others have the same problem and they were told to leave it running and it will continue to update but on all the options ive left it overnight and it hasnt updated and neither has theirs. All help stops after everyone else has done what ive done, its too near xmas to drown my sorrows but, thanks for help n have a lovely xmas n new year
When you press the center button and the screen turns white do you hear the chime windows make when a USB device is disconnected?

Well, actually when you flash your activesync shut offs but your USB connection stills active, so that's normal.
Did you sda unlock your phone before you flashed?. You should do this every time you flash (well that's why I do), also make sure you remove your sd card; because these can cause error messages while you flash.
Other option can be try another PC or reinstall activesync, sometimes my laptop gets crazy and I get multiple errors when I flash, but when I use my desktop flashing goes smooth
yes I sda unlocked every time....i only have a lappy....i remove my sd card...i will uninstall n reinstall active sync.....I'll check out if any of my daughters' friends have desktops to see if I can do it that way. I shall try all that over xmas n new year n ill let you know how I get on. Many Thanx....

is there no update on this situation? because i am currently attempting to flash a rom for my friends dash and i am having the same connection error problems. and she has a windows vista laptop. i am not sure if that is what the problem is. convinced its not the cord. during the update process it just disconnects once it gets to about 3 percent.

Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?
my Xperia Play R800i will not turn on anymore after i tried to flash a rom... i dont exactly remember which one it was... i hope its not important
what my phone does is showing the Sony Ericsson logo and just stays there... i had it on the entire day just be sure that i wasnt doing something in the background or anything ...
but i never did it on my phone yet... (maybe better if never did this now i think of it)
but anyway pc companion says "null" and thats all it will say further it cannot detect my phone or do anything with it
i hope flashtool works if anyone is willing to lead me through it.
i dont have warranty anymore.

Would you happen to have a custom kernel? Which Sony Ericsson logo is it, the non-moving one or the animated one?
Now, you wouldn't have happened to install a CyanogenMod, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean rom, would you? I know you don't remember which rom you installed, just trying to spark a memory. Anyway, if you did so, then all you need to do is flash a compatible kernel. You see, if the Sony Ericsson logo you are seeing is the non-moving one, then you have the stock kernel, the one that's incompatible with the aforementioned roms.
If you don't want to get involved with this kernel business, then I've provided a Flashtool guide, so you can at least get your phone to a working, albeit factory reset, state:
First, install Flashtool.
Go here and find what you think your stock firmware was, download it.
Place the .ftf file in your Flashtool/firmwares directory.
Open Flashtool (as administrator if necessary) and click on the lightning bolt in the Flashtool window. Highlight Flashmode and select OK. A new window shall pop-up.
Select your downloaded firmware. I should read "R800i" in the first box and "4.0.2.A.0.XX" (with the "XX" being the number of the version you downloaded) in the second, the contents of the third box varies, so disregard it. There are many options for what to keep/replace during flashing, but I'd recommend leaving them as they are. Select OK. The window will now close and a new window will pop-up shortly after.
This window will detail the proceeding steps: With your turned-off phone (make sure its battery is intact), hold the back key (the leftmost one) while inserting the usb from your computer to your phone, continue holding the key until the window closes, DO NOT REMOVE THE USB.
The Flashtool window will now begin streaming various lines detailing its progress, all you need to look for is the line detailing a successful flash which with then tell you to disconnect your phone, now you can remove the USB.
Go ahead and close the remaining Flashtool window, your phone should now be back to default, factory reset, everything except your phone's bootloader and SIM unlocked statuses, they should be how you left them before.
thanks!

Okay, having not used stock in a long time, I've reverted my rom and kernel! Upon doing so, I noticed little wrong. Though I do remember an annoying prompt when I opened the browser, it'd say "Please insert SIM card" and "downloading settings" would pop-up following it.
Aside from that, I can't recreate the problem you're having. Could you go into more detail?

Well... That's something I have never seen before...
Searched the Q&A and troubleshooting section, and I'd found a thread detailing such an error upon switching firmware. No offence but perhaps I didn't give you enough detail on which firmware to download, and for that I apologise.
Would you happen to know what branding your phone is, and post what it is and which firmware you installed (you can find said information in that third box I told you to ignore in Flashtool)? AT&T, Verizon, unbranded/no SIM/unlocked? I ask this as you may have installed incompatible firmware.
As an example, my phone was unbranded and came with no SIM, the pre-installed installed firmware (and the only one that I find to be fully compatible) was the R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 UK Generic. In the context of stock roms, I find that it's best not to stray.
Anyway, you've probably already figured out what to do: find the intended firmware and flash it, using the instructions above. I'd recommend gathering some more outside help, changing the thread's title to reflect the current conundrum should be a good starting point.

[Solution in Post #7]
Dear Xda,
I really need some help:
Here is the situation, my Smartwatch 2 started freaking out after the previous update. (locking up, random reboots)
Now none of my apps work, I can access settings, go to reset, but it wont let me click confirm.
Also I cannot set it to pairing mode to link it to another phone.
Even NFC pairing does not work with another phone.
It still does connect to my current phone, I tried repairing my phone, but now apps show up multiple times.
The software is pretty much FUBAR.
I hoped the new update would reset the memory, but to no avail....
I there any other way to reset the watch other than via settings?
Via DFU or something???
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi,
Last time my SW2 start to freak out (something like in your case) I started charging it via external charger (from my phone) and it just restart instantly. Give it a try.

Thank you for your answer!
So you mean charging it with my phone using an otg cable?
I'll try it, I'll keep you posted.
If you connect to a different bluetooth device it shoudl reset most of the settings, its just about the same as doing a reset I think.

I tried that numerous times.
Well thats the thing, it refuses to connect to another device, I cant enable pairing on the watch, i wont let me click confirm.
Even with nfc on another device, it does not connect.
I'm afraid i am out of options...
Plus the charging via OTG gave no results.
Yet tryin to power on pressing down button for maybe 30s to enter in pairing mode for new phone ?

That does not work either.
Yesterday I contacted Xperia support.
I performed a software reset with PC Companion.
Even tough you cannot select Smartwatch 2 It is Supported.
It works as follows:
- No device connected.
- Go to support zone.
- Choose accessories software update
- Choose Smartwatch 3 (yes 3)
- Then connect your Smartwatch 2 in DFU mode (connect usb cable then immediatly press power button for 0,5s)
- Then it is detected, let the driver install, PCC proposed to reinstall latest software.
There, I hope this helps anyone facing similar issues.
My watch works again as before!
Thank you, Sir.
Looks good so far. Now I can delay the purchase of a new smartwatch a little longer.
Tried this today to unbrick my SW2, but even selecting the SW3 option PCC says that there is no update available for my device.
So, isn't there any way anymore to reflash the watch?
Thanks
edit: seems that PCC has been updated to a newer version... maybe this makes the proposed solution useless now?

So you probably unlocked it to be used on other carriers as only the H815 can have an unlocked bootloader.
Just a small sugestion. Have you tried to create a new google account and sync with it to see what happens?
tried that and just tried it again with new account still in a loop. i unlocked the bootloader for root now when u unlock the boot loader lg remove warranty
anyone out there that can help.

Did you try clearing cache all google related apps like google service framework ?
what i have done is hardreset not sure how i can clean cache all google related apps like google service framework, as thats the only screen i can see i posted a video of whats happening, i have been on the pgone to google then its not them ring lg, i spoke to lg and emailed them a video waiting for a call back off them.
Maybe try booting into recovery in order to wipe EVERYTHING (and I mean everything possible).
Then boot back into download mode and flash the STOCK .kdz file (the one that your phone came from your carrier with, 10a/b which it was depending on how long you have had your phone).
If that does not work maybe try to build or get a custom AOSP Rom that does not have the GAPPS and see if you can just by-pass the issue all together by booting with having to deal with google apps (you would still need a work around for getting Gapps to work, but at least you would know exactly what the problem is and could boot into a working phone in the mean time).
Weird. Might be that 72 hour sign in feature (cough* bug *cough) thing because it looks like it might be kicking it back on the server side.
1) Did you try signing in on mobile data?
2) Do you have a nandroid, TB, or LG backup that you can restore?
2) Try bypassing the setup screen (keep tapping Next or Skip) and just get to the home screen. Then goto Settings ---> Accounts and add your account. This way you can get a usable device.
ive tried STOCK .kdz 10a/10b/10c
i dont have a nand backup
ive tryed using other wifi and my mobile internet.
google say its not them and im still waiting for lg to even look at the video they asked for..
is there any roms even out there for the g4 i cant find any. over a week now with out my g4.
AOSP Rom i wouldnt know where to start on building one i no longer have root or TWRP after flashing kdz
cant get the phone in adb mode developer as i cant get past the wifi screen as seen in video and cant get USB debugging.

Did you buy phone new, from where?
the phone is on a 24 month contract from o2 i got the phone from the carphone warehouse
ive just got off the phone to LG still not looked at the video they asked for i have been told to wait 7 working days WHAT thats gonna be like two weeks with a none working phone.
Weird, it's like you got a refurbished phone, and the old google account was not removed the correct way (remove google account before the phone is reset). If you reset phone without removing your account you get exactly what has happened to your phone. I see it all the time on the Nexus 6 forum.
