I have unlocked my PRO however when I try to flsh any ROM. I get Error 202 Communication. I follow the screen recovery to no sucess. It has even shut my computer down on 2 ocassions. I troed from SD and it just stays in the Gray screen saying Loading.

I have search the threads but I cannot find any guidance. For example should I hard reset my unit and try again???

What OS are you running on your computer and what method of flashing are you using? Active Sync?

I found that sometimes I have to re-boot the computer to get the phone to communicate with the computer again.

Can someone point me towards the troubleshooting the ROM installs.

try using a different SD card, I've heard people having issue with some cards, hope this helps!

If you're trying to flash from the stock 1GB SD card (provided with the phone), then it won't work since it isn't FAT32.

One time I did not have a card reader on me and I was struggling to flash (all I had was a Mac which didn't have Windows loaded up on it).

I ended up using this to format that card as FAT32 (you don't have to select FAT32, it just does that):

Then you're all good and can flash from SD.

I resolved the issue and posted my findings as ROM Troubleshoot Utility.

Thanks for the feedback.
