HELP!!! Cannot enter 3 color Update mode any more !!!

Hi everybody
i use a
Orange SPV 3000 cid/sim unlocked
WM 6 NBD 7.3
IPL / SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
Now i tried to go back to the latest German ROM Update provided by ORANGE CH.
(RUU_Prodigy_21611_2161111_010410_OR_CH_GER_Ship.exe)
The Update Process start's on the PC Screen and remains on 0% and will terminate with ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR
The Phone hangs and cannot enter in "3 color update mode".
I have to take out and reinsert the battery to bring the Wizard back to Work.
Then the Wizard start's up and you can work without any Problems. (Exept you have to set the Date / Time again it is set to 2006-02-14 12:00)
Next Steps
- did a Reboot on the PC and the Wizard -> Same Result
- tried to Flash NBD 7.3 ROM again -> Same Result
- did a Hard Reset (press the 3 Buttons on Reset then Send Button ) and tried to Flash again -> Same Result
- tried to manualy enter Update mode (press Camera Button on Reset) with the same Result the "3 color update mode" will not appear
Has anybody a Idea what else i can do?
Tnx in advance for any HELP

when manually entering bootloader mode are still holding the camera button in after the reset button is released? I usually hold for about 5 seconds after the reset button is released. im sorry if that don't work for you. never heard of anyone having trouble not getting into bootloader before.

dear mdajunkie
now i can enter bootloader mode manually
looks like i did not hold the camera button long enough before
thank you very mutch for your HELP
I assume the Problem is locatet on the PC and have to find out why i can't flash my Device again.
Recently i changed something on the PC - I installed a external BlueTooth-Dongle from MSI including the MSI BlueTooth Software
Starting now with the easyest step - reinstalling Active Sync 4.5 and try again.
Regards

Now everything works fine
I tried to Flash a ROM and it work's
i did not change anything exept entering the bootloader mode manually once.(no reinstall activesync or deinstall bt software !)
May be entering the Bootloader Mode manualy "cured" my PDA?
i don't know
Regard's

im glad you got it to work. Most important thing is to read make sure you know how to and are confident enough flash roms. Makes things a whole lot easier. Atleast that way if something goes wrong you will be able to backtrack a lot easier and maybe explain your situation a whole lot better. Hope everything else goes wonderful for you and have fun man.

Many many thanks in advance,
Valery
P.S.Sorry for my English-it's not good and now especially i'm totally nervous with that problem...

Action button is the middle of the optical joypad.
to reflash connect from your computer with a USB cable and use the Custom Radio RUU
AND DO NOT GO AROUND FLASHING THINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Thanks a lot for fast response!!!
I was flashing one of the Radio ROMs here in the thread,that was in the list as worked, maybe it was transfer failure to MicroSD card,now it don't matter.
I power now Xperia on, then see that 4-color screen,then now i see kovsimg.nbh- RADIO and "Press power button to start update image" and "Press action button to cancel update image". If i press the middle of optical joystick-as you said-then it happens nothing-i see the same screen...What schould i do????

This is the "n" time I write this:
Remove and reinsert battery
Turn phone on
Now you are out of bootloader

Strange for you, but well known phenomena: your flash didn't complete
You'll have to flash again from a PC or by copying a new radio file to your microSD card, or you can use "mtty"... sorry there's no other way but reaching a PC

I have notebook here,but i can't connect to my phone,because it start always in boot mode.Is here some method to connect to phone without Active synch in that bootloader mode???I understand now-i must copy right file on my MicroSD card,how i can do it wothout MicroSD Cardreader and only with a phone starting in boot mode???
Thank you,
Valery

you can't access the sd-card without a Cardreader but you dont have to. In the 4-color screen you should see the text "USB" when you connect the phone to the pc (as far as I remember, when the device is not connected to the pc instad of "USB" the text is "SERIAL"). In that mode you can use the RUU to update your device.

Mastermarv,
thank you very much!!!I was worked for me-i was using RUU Radio utilities in bootloader mode and flashed orig. Radio ROM-now it all started OK and all work again!!!!!Uf-f-f,so one "abenteuer"...
Thank you all the people,those tried to help me in this situation,much appreciated your help!!!!
Now i can some relax...

HELP in Upgrading, my BA cannot be detected

Hi guys. I'm really new to BA upgrading. I have purchased an O2 XDA IIs thru Ebay and would want to upgrade it from its current WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 OS.
The problem is, I cannot sync thru Activesync, everytime I insert my device thru its USB cable it says "USB Device not recognized".
I also have an O2 XDA II and it does not have any problem syncing.
I have already tried every USB port of my PC and all displayed the same situations.
I'm using Activesync 4.5 and I have tried upgrading it and since its not even "recognized" in the end the upgrade tool would say "The ROM upgrade kit is not designed for my device".
I can put it in Bootloader Mode and it says "USB" mode everytime I connect the data cable to my PC.
Another problem I think is that I cannot do a HARD RESET. I mean I can put it in HARD RESET Mode where it asks me to choose YES or NO on 3 options, somehow, I cannot go beyond that. I dont know which button to press to activate the reset. I mean, I tried every button but no hard reset happens.
Guys I know you can help me on this. I think I'm gonna need your "divine influences" on this matter. Cheers.

if you are running vista OS or above, please refer to the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista
to perform a hard reset
1. hold down power button + press soft-reset
2. immediately, hold down Power + Record + Camera buttons
3. Option 1 - No, 2 - Yes, 3 - Yes
4. Press Mail button
PS: please take out the SD card when during the flashing process.

why is it like this?

I couldnt find a good title for this thread coz i donno how to explain it!
See the bellow video, first i cannot get to the bootloader screen. Then when the phone is on, after i press the power button the dial pad screen first, and the calendar screen after that will come up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1CJV0m3Ac
How could I fix this? i cannot even get back to original situation to get for warranty!
I think it's the source of my problem.
PS. i face this problem after i removed S2U (Slide to unlock) software

Can you get to the restore screen? (hold down the two front silver hard keys + Power)

With the phone completely off, You have to hold down the power + volume down button until the bootloader pops up...keep holding it until you see the colored strips.

Try Using the camera button i.s.o the volume down. Works fine for me on my X1

Try this, Connect your phone to the pc, make sure you are connected to the activesync. Then run the the hard spl tool, It should automatically put the phone into bootloader mode.

Thanks for replies,
yes i can get to the bootloader screen using hard spl manual tool, but it will stop on "Loading..." screen and it's not flashing!!!

When it says "Loading..." it means it cannot find KOVSimg.nbh on your SDcard or there is nog USB connecting through which you're trying to update.

i don no but did u check if ur volume key is working...also do a hardrest....stteing>system>clear storage

Yes, my volume key is working fine in windows with no problem!
Actually i've already did a clear storage but.... nothing....

Well I had the same problem when trying to flash from a Vista PC and USD cable. (for the hard SPL, glashing with a SD card worked fine, but you should disconnec the USB cable to be sure that it takes the SD card)
I used my wifes small netbook with XP and there it worked instantly. If you use a Vista machine, try it with an other XP machine.

Mark

Try other ROM, if it was stock Rom so try other cooed ROM, or vice versa

ok try this. Restore your phone to stock spl, Let the hard spl tool put your phone into bootloader mode. Once its in this mode, Try to run Sony ericsson update tool to update it to the R3A firmware.

Hardspl is completley not working!!!
Is there a dead mode method? i think that would help me?

please help, my diamond won't boot up at all

Dear friends,

Any help will be much appreciated...

Update ROM by using the BootLoader
Hello there,
even though you can't boot into your OS in the Diamond, there's a way to enter "BootLoader" mode. I'm not sure it works, but you can give it a try.
Here's how:
- Connect the Diamond to your PC
- Enter bootloader mode on your Diamond: with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
- Use the ROM Update Utility. If the previous step worked and your connection is working, then with some luck you will be able to Flash the Device with the ROM update utility.
I've tried to find the thread that discussed this with pictures and such but couldn't. You might want to look for similar instructions
Good luck
Shane

JTAG
does anyone managed to JTAG diamond?
