HELP! Error 324 when flashing roms

[computernerd4826]

Hi, i have a touch pro with sprint. i have been using energyrom, however it occasionally freezes at the screen that says "Touch Pro" and has the red numbers below it. i have found the only way to fix it is to re-flash the rom. it has worked fine 10 times, but this time 48% through the flash, it went blank and i was shown- ERROR 324 : Invalid Command -
The Update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your update utility.
i have tried to flash silence rom just to see if it was the rom, but it had the same result.
btw,
in the bootloader, it says upgrade ROM code error and occasionally flashes no image file

thanks for your help

Here are a link but it sounds like you may have a bad USB cable.

try flashing the stock rom again.....

using another cable gave me the same error, however after the error, it left the bootloader screen and went to the screen that says touch pro with red letters under it. now it is giving me-
error: 260 : connection
the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone

could it be the pc itself that is losing the connection?
i doubt that both of my cables decided to break, but, anything is possible.

phone's dont come from sprint already unlocked. i think you maybe mistaken. look at the spl version on the bootloader (tricolor) screen.
0.37.0000 = locked
0.37.cmonex = unlocked
that's how you tell if a phone is locked or unlocked

i would reboot computer and download the SHIPPED sprint rom and then put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to the computer and then it should display USB at the bottom of the phone screen, then open the shipped rom exe file you downloaded.
sprint shipped rom here in case you don't have it http://rapidshare.com/files/17615341...3_Ship.exe.zip

This is a common mistake many geekers make... They all display security unlocked. If you cannot not flash to a custom ROM then it not unlocked.

On a side note I have always found it easier to flash via the SD card.
