Not sure if this was on the fault of my carrier or not, but I actually had this problem before and resolved it once.

I was running 3.60.1 and even tho I had Unchecked "Enable Advanced USB Connection" or whatever under USB to PC in the Connections Tab, My phone would not connect to WMDC (I use Windows Vista). I would just connect to get my contacts via Bluetooth, which worked fine.

I am a heavy user of tethering via USB as I like to charge the phone while I am connected. 3.60 series has been pretty good...I haven't had a complaint really since I upgraded from 3.0 (Which IMO is a bit more stable but I'm not sure why). Every once in awhile, I lose connection. I'm not sure why it does this. I'm using radio 1.48 and I have been using it for both 3.0 and 3.60. I had problems using 1.50 as data connections would drop instantly...so I never caught on to that radio. I am located near the NYC Metro area.

The latest problem I had was...sometimes my data connections would drop and would not reconnect without restarting the phone. I'd SR the phone and all of a sudden during the boot (while still connected to USB), my WMDC picks up the device. Not sure why it chooses to do it after I've had the ROM Flashed for several days now...but I go ahead and set it up only to see my phone assumes a permanent Flight Mode. Under Comm Manager, I am unable to switch back to Phone Mode. I do not have access to Phone settings. I cannot even open my dialer.

I've done it before and I don't save that many new things to my phone...so I went on to HR. After HR...the phone was completely unstable. During the loading of the "customizations" (which correct me if I'm wrong...is the EXTRom), it will install everything and then hang after finishing the last one which I believe was the theme of ATT.tsk.

Frustrated, I decided to flash back to 3.0 I still use 1.40Oli (HardSPL V6) which was always fine and I was never able to update to 2.10Oli for I have weird issues with SSPL and Vista. I do everything normally...I get to the progress screen. It hangs. No problem. Run RUUWrapper again...bootloader screen is accessible and my SPL and HTC_BOOT should be unaffected. Still hangs. I try to flash a radio...hangs. Almost everything I try to flash...hangs.

I've tried multiple USB Cables...thinking that was the problem...same problem though. It gets all the way to the progress and the Bootloader screen recognizes when its plugged to the USB so I don't think that's the problem.

My phone is stuck in bootloader right now and nothing will flash to it. No matter what it will get to progress and load 0% of any NBH I try to flash.

The main point of this post:

1. What caused 3.60.x to not connect to WMDC from the beginning via USB...only to do it randomly later?

2. What caused the corruption to the ROM leading me "GSM-less" stuck in Flight Mode and no access to anything to turn it back on to Phone Mode?

3. What is the cause of my phone not updating any NBHs I try to flash (OS Only/Radio Only/Original Shipped) ROMs?

I'm not sure if I was the only one receiving these errors. I have not updated my signature in awhile but I was running:

HARD-SPL V6: 1.40.Oli

Radio: 1.48.00

ROM: VP3G 3.60.1

Thanks for your help in advance.
