I think I messed up...
 

Hello, after a few hours of fruitless searching, I'm once again asking you guys for help.

I recently made some changes to my os with BuildOS, and I went to upload it. And after BuildOs went through it's processes and everything was extracted, my screen went black. And then this popped up.

USB


v.100

Followed by an error on my computer saying

Error 101: Connection Issue.

What's this mean, and can my phone be saved. I've tried a hard reset, but after I hit "Y" it goes back to the USB v1.00 screen..

Please Help

I just got a xv6700 and attempted to do them same thing and encountered a similar error. I was able to go to the HTC website and download a base ROM image that restored my phone. However I have still not been able to get past the same error you are getting. (After I restored the system to the base ROM at the HTC website, the USB page now states version 1.04).

One thing I noticed was that during the ROM build I saw two messages that concerned me towards the end. First message was:
- Making ROM
- ImgfsToNb 2.1 RC2
- ImgFs size:0x3900000 bytes (0x1c800 sectors)
- Not conservative mode. Changing imgfsEnd from 0x3f00000 to 0x3f40000
- Warning: Storage Partition Not Found.
- ImgFs Flash Region Log blocks was 0x38c, now is 0x390
- No storage Flash Region found!
- Done!

Second one stated: Copying extra files: Directory not found

Also when I went to upload the new ROM with the update utility it would list the current ROM version, radio version for my PocketPC but would only show the new ROM that was replacing it and a blank under Radio and the other one. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes...any Help on getting past the USB v1.xx screen would be awesome....

Don't worry my friend. You're fine. As long as you are still getting power and you can see that USB 1.00 screen your device can be saved. Flash the OEM Sprint or Verizon or whatever ROM and your device will come back to life.(given, your battery is charged enough to finish the upgrade)

I've tried reflashing...on my computer it says unknown usb device...I've even tried the vista driver trick. I downloaded the general driver, when I tried selecting it through the device manager, it says this file isn't a valid 32 bit file for your device...

soo frustrating....

Re: I think I messed up...
 

Have you tried running the RUU as administrator?

Re: I think I messed up...
 

What RUU??? The driver??...or the BuildOS??

Re: I think I messed up...
 

You have 2 options:

1. Download APA_SPCS_20600_303_12700_WWE_Ship.exe, The OEM Sprint WM5 ROM to your desktop and right click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

2. Go to this path on your PC:
C:\Program Files\PPCkitchen.org\BuildOS\Upgrade\Apache_RUU\RU U
Now that you are there, right click on ROMUpgradeUt.exe and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

One of these 2 methods should bring your phone back to life as long as you have enough battery to complete the upgrade. I personally flashed my Vogue and Apache on Vista WITHOUT the driver trick by doing this.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LET VISTA INSTALL THE DRIVERS AUTOMATICALLY FOR USB DEVICE.

If you do not do this, it may NOT work.

Post your results,
Dan.

sorry to butt in , have you tried an xp system, do you still have one near by.

Re: I think I messed up...
 

Another option is to use a memory card reader to COMPLETELY back up your Mini-SD card and then format it to FAT32. Extract APA_SPCS_20600_303_12700_WWE_Ship.exe to its own folder and rename nk.nbf to APACHIMG.nbf and copy it to your Mini-SD.

Power off your device and insert your Mini-SD card and then power your device back on. Once your phone re-enters bootloader(the screen that displays USB 1.00), hit the power button on top of the device.

On my Vogue, this will start a cable free ROM update. I do not know for certain that this will work on the Apache but if all else fails, it could be worth a try.

That is always a GREAT option. The only problem with that is that unfortunatly XP systems are getting hard to come by these days. I personally have no access to an XP system.

Great suggestion by the way. (not sarcasm)

Re: I think I messed up...
 

had the same problem....if you cant do a soft reset, then i dont know...but if you can do a soft reset, then your fine....reset your phone, put it in bootload, then run your kitchen...you should be fine

Re: I think I messed up...
 

Oh my gosh....I have absolutely loved Vista up until today. It doesn't even install the drivers when I plug it in..it says unrecognized device. But I plug it into my laptop (XP) and bam... PPC Windows Mobile deviced installed and ready to use. WTF?

Now I'm stalling, updating, and flashing on my laptop....big download..

I'll post results...
High five everyone...seriously... great community.

Re: I think I messed up...
 

That's really weird that Vista was giving you such a hard time. I use it for everything to cooking to unlocking to flashing. Never had any problems...

Wish I could have been more help man.

Re: I think I messed up...
 

Dont worry on the sarcasm....I remember I held out on buying an xp system/ o/s software when they first came out because of all the problems of course when a new o/s comes out and just not enough software to support the o/s..drivers..etc..and ran ME/2000 until there was no way around it with software was coming out meant for xp.

Re: I think I messed up...
 

I hear ya. Now Vista is the problem. For most people anyway... I guess I lucked out since I have never had any problems with it.

Re: I think I messed up...
 

Dharvey...you were tons of help man....

But don't be down on Vista....I got it the day it came out and I love it...

I just won't use it for cooking anymore....lol

Update: Phone's working.....I'm just gonna be cautious on the apps I put on it.

Thanks to everyone again.

You've made my first PPC experience a fun one....
=D>
