ERROR [260] : CONNECTION



The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that
your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your
PDA Phone.

Check the following:

1. The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable.
2. The USB cradly/cable is connected to the PC.


---------------------


Can someone help me? This is not only when I try to flash the stock ROM, but even my old ROM's give me this message.

I thought it might be the cable, but I am connected through activesync and am able to move files between my phone and computer.

Please help!

Not a good choice to post this question in this thread but since I saw it I'll recommend you turn off all Anti-virus, Firewall software and try deleting and recreating partnership with your device. Also, try uninstalling and reinstalling Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center.

glad you figured it out, sometimes sd cards especially noname ones are kinda flakey. I have had the best luck with sandisk or kingston

Those 256 MB sandisk cards are perfect for flashing.
