hi 'Murat' (careful about giving away personal information when posting screenshots of your desktop)

search the forum for error 260

it's probably because you're using vista, although the screen that comes up and says to close other programs before flashing probably means INCLUDING Windows Media Player and whatever that MACOS-dock type taskbar addon is :)

Especially media player because it can try to make a connection with your phone as a 'removable storage' device

once you get that coloured screen up on your phone , it means your device is in bootloader mode

you can try to run the update again once the phone is already in that state and it might fix it.

if not, as i said, search the forum ... you might need to change your device drivers

it also looks like you havent USPL'd your phone yet so this ROM might not flash correctly.

Again, search the forum

this might also be a good time to point out theat there is also a v44 version of that rom on here, rather than the v43 you're trying to use

Hi,

good idea for the phone screen but we can't read the numbers so you can just give them. i think SPL 3.13.0000 so you haven't Unlock your device.

1- Unlock your device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403

2- if it's good, your numbers on bootloader (screen 3 colors) have changed normally in 1.11.xxx

3- you can now flash your device with your wm6.5 rom.

And yes use search for help you if always problem.

i flash mine with vista no problem using the default WMDC connection

have you tried putting the phone into bootloader mode first and THEN flashing?

also search the forum for' error 260 vista drivers' ... you might need to rollback the USB driver to an earlier version but try everything else first.

USPL should be done first before rom flash
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
hy

i will in the bootloader mode

how i make :confused:

sry my english
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] d-signet:
sorry, I don't think i understand your question

to put your phone into bootloader mode, hold the RECORD/NOTES button and press the stylus into the reset hole at the same time.

Then you get the coloured stripes screen like your screenshot (that is bootloader mode)

First you need to USPL your phone. This makes SPL version 1.11.0000

Don't upgrade the rom until you can see :

SPL 1.11.0000

when you reset

search the forum for help or follow the link earlier

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] LeTo08:
Try to run the "start_uspl" from Artemis_USPL but i think you must:

1 instal the program for synchron with vista,

2 connect your device but not in bootloader, you must see the today screen on your device.

3 only when synchron is finished you can run the "start_uspl" for unlock your device.

4 if there is no error and when the process is finished, normally he ask for restart device, and look if the numbers 3.13 is change in 1.11

Edit if there is an error (white screen, etc) try to run the "start_uspl" again and again. It will finish by working, i had to try many times before it really working.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
but when the prozess finished "dos window 100%" my phone display is white an the connection to the PC is deactive

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] d-signet:
why is he booting into linux?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] LeTo08:
Try to instal this cab on DEVICE memory, make a soft reset, connect to PC and then try again the USPL. (and cross your fingers)

I saw that in tutorial for another device maybe it can help.

EDIT= linux it's just the tool Hard USPL.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
thanks for you help

i have installed the cab file on my device memory and he is installed sucefull

but the USPL is white screen an error 260

but why ??? :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] LeTo08:
The white screen is when the phone don't go in bootloader. so you need to put it manually and continue the step.

I had to do that when i unlocked my phone.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
ok thanks i testing this way

pleace wait ^^
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
hello

i have make the USPL again

the white screen come and i have make the Bootloader mode manualli

the problem error 260 why

i can make a video from this problem
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] H5N1Duck:
Try taking out your sd card. I had a problem with mine some time ago that it got stuck. Took out the memory card and all went well. You must have SPL 1.11.0000 when you start up your phone. This is essential.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] LeTo08:
Try:

1- run start USPL normally (device connected)

2- when you are to the white screen, don't close the windows error and you put PPC in bootloader always connected,

3 normally Vista has detected a new material, let him finish the instal of this new materiel.

4 Now you run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and check next etc...

I hope you will see this damn numbers 1.11.

If it don't work, try a second or third times. Sometimes once time don't work but the second yes...

( I go in week end no internet so can't help you before monday)

PS: when you post big photo, please just post the link of the photo thx :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] bigstyla:
hi thanks for help

i have make the unlock drom your tutorial

but he come a Error 238
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] LeTo08:
So you have always SPL 3.13 like that it's not possible to flash any rom.

I think that because your PC is not really connect to PPC because err 260 = disconnect.

I'm sorry, all what i said work for me, if don't work for you, i don't know why and how help you more.

Search in the wiki maybe or try with XP and not Vista....

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
I asked HTC if/when they were going to release the updated ROM for Europe with the improved radio ROM, this is the response I got:

Very helpful I don't think. How will cleaning my SIM card possibly help?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] darfri:
LOL. Geniuses! According to the upcoming rate of new device models with very little changes and the repeatedly criticized support it seems like HTC is too blinded by the evolution mania that haunts all the companies suffering from the downside of economy - impayable rivalry.

As we are living in postmodernist times it is still important to remind the principle of the monster called modernism - FORM prior to ESSENCE. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] P996:
Sounds like an automated response to me. Many people email companies regarding products and they really expect an expert reply but all they usually get is an automated response, based on the content of the email and maybe the email header.

It is a shame but honestly, if you want to ask a company something about a product, you usually need to have a contact in the upper hierarchy, otherwise you get what you get...an automated response and/or a non-qualified response.

Another thing is: what do you expect? There are only two possibilities regarding the poor signal reception of the HTC Diamond 2: HTC issues a new and improved radio firmware which corrects the problem OR if it is a hardware problem, don't expect much.

Some cell phone manufacturers are sometimes also very very clever (they think): they raise just the bar signal strength indicator without any real reception improvements.

It is usually a bad sign if the signal reception is crappy from the start, so don't expect much difference from a radio firmware update.

The only company I know of so far who actually improved radio reception was RIM with their BlackBerry Storm. I don't know how they did it, apparently the antenna design was OK and everything but maybe the energy saving setup kicked in too much at the beginning, who knows. Anyways: a firmware update improved things substantially and I've never seen a similar improvement on a device from another company out there.

Apple's iPhone 3G is maybe a good example: Apple raised the signal bar display but signal reception stayed the same, HSDPA connections were just a bit more stable but no real reception improvement. Good trick to fool customers. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
I disagree, there are often significant performance differences between the Radio ROMs on these HTC devices. With my Kaiser I found an update resolved similar poor performance problems. I'm not asking for full on top quality reception but I would at least hope to get a basic phone signal in my house in the same places I could with my Kaiser. That's not too much to ask is it? Couldnt care less if I get 3G coverage at home (I have Wifi)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
I can confirm the same for my old Cruise. Radio ROM's made great differences!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mrmckeb:
I'd love to know when this is coming out too...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pietrucci:
My radio quality is very good in Holland with the stock radio. No need for an upgrade.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
It is just generally poor for me. For instance now in my office where I would normally get full bars on my Kaiser, I have just two
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pietrucci:
What country are you in? And what provider?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] trinode:
Mine too is very poor.

I'm on both 3, and T-mobile in leeds, UK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
T-Mobile UK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pietrucci:
So are there any other UK T-Mobile users with poor reception? Or with good reception? Or with ány reception?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
It is not the T-Mobile network, in the locations where I get no signal in my TD2, the same SIM can get good reception in a Nokia
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bedrC:
Reception

Mine is from Germany and i must say that my Elf had a higher number of reception bars than TD2 in some areas, but so far no reception problems. So maybe it's just the number of bars and not the actual reception, like many said before.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
I can confirm it's not terribly sensitive. I previously had my t-mobile sim in a USB datastick, and the reception was better on my train journey to work. Now it drops connection a bit more frequently with the TD2, but it's not too bad.

I suspect the signal strength bars read lower than they should too. And, reception is erratic in that you get good recetion one day and poor the next, in the same location. This is hopefully firmware fixable.

One of the problems with the TD2 is the placement of the GSM/3G aerials at the bottom of the case, where you normally hold the phone. You have to make a conscious effort to hold it by the top for best signal. Except when you use Google maps with GPS. Then you hold it by the middle
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
Not the case here, at home most of the time the phone is just searching for the network
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] trinode:
He's not blaming T-Mobile for poor coverage, but rather seeing if the problem is worse on different networks, which may prove the phone radio is worse on certain frequency bands, or similar things which differ by network.

Also, same problem here on T-mobile (and 3) - Regularly dropping off the network at my house.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mrsilly:
I'll add to this, coming off M40 at junction 3 call drops in 3g mode every time, fine in GSM. This hasn't happened on any phone i've owned since the awful NEC phones when 3 launched. It's definately the phone. I'm on Three BTW.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] d3sm0nd:
No problems with radio reception here in Switzerland...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mastah:
same here.

Only when it changes from H to 3G sometimes it drops calls.

But very rare...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mrmckeb:
Does anyone think the issue could be that the antenna is at the base of the phone? I sure hope that's not the issue... I'd like it to be fixable.

I'm on 3 Mobile Australia, my previous phone (Nokia N73, same network) had much better reception.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
I think it's part of the problem. Before I started holding the phone by the top half reception was really bad. But I don't think it's the whole issue. You could test the theory by holding the phone upside down and using the speaker whilst on a call and see if it improves.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
Doesnt matter where you hold a phone if its sitting on a table constantly searching for a network

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Pete_S:
cactusbob: It really sounds like you might have a low sensitivity radio module. Is it still possible to return it? I can understand if you don't want to. Specially after the brain-dead response you got from the help people.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cmonex:
usually not a HW issue, need to wait for new radio; unfortunately not compatible with blackstone for example.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
I'm on Vodafone NL with my D2. The reception is worse than a Nokia I have and the touch cruise I had. The phone signal is dropped very often, searching for a network after that. I now sometimes have GPRS reception in areas where I used to have HSDPA.

It's not good, but I can live with it. I'm hoping for a radio ROM that solves it though!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cactusbob:
With the help of a goldcard I have flashed the Asian WWE rom with the new radio. Sitting by me now the phone has a signal now, only weak but one none the less. When I was at work today and using the lift I noticed that it held onto the signal for longer, and came back much quicker when it eventually lost it.

When going from a 3G signal to just GSM the switch was seamless. I also noticed that HSDPA connections were substantially faster to connect.

XDA Orbit 2, Nokia 6310i, TD2 Reception Tests

I've got an XDA Orbit 2, a HTC Touch Diamond 2 and a Nokia 6230i. When SIM in the orbit 2 or Nokia, great reception. When SIM is diamond, sporadic reception. It's not the network or the SIM as HTC might like to blame, it's the bloody TD2 phone! This is a real shame since the TD2 is a beautiful piece of equipment. Come on HTC sort this bloody radio out!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] colonel:
One thing that might effect some people. I generally have good reception on my diamond II. I had a tmobile chip which was not great, but since I upgraded to vodafone its been much better (in UK).

However, a few times, in a few places, I have noticed that there are no signal bars showing. Another time the display actually said no connection (with the little x). The weird thing is that in both cases the reception was fine, and the data is fine., i.e. I can still browse the web, and it seems to be quite fast.

My conclusion is therefore, on mine, it is something to do with the signal display, and not the actual reception. A software bug ......

Sounds like it's just a bunch of talk out of their butt. But since he did mentiond a few calls for it it sounds liike they are looking into it.

I want to suggest all of you to E-mail or Call and ask about this and your experiance with reception. Maybe we will get a solution sooner. I would call ut long distance.... eeeekkkk.
