Error [252] when flashing any ROM

[neuteboomt]

The crazy thing is the phone would connect to the PC? When the bootloader was displayed it would say USB when connected and serial when it was not. Device manager even said the driver for the phone was good.

I tried Vin's fix and when I extracted coke 2.31 and ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe I still received the error.

I did get it to flash a ROM!! On my Dell Pentium 4 running Windows 7 32 bit I went into Control Panel/ Hardware and sound and Changed connection settings for WM Device Center. I unchecked everything. Then I right clicked on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe for coke 2.31 and clicked on troubleshoot compatibility and for the system to run it in XP service pack 2 mode. Then I ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe as administrator and it worked!

Then I place the phone back in bootloader to flash a custom ROM. Error again. But since I place the phone in bootloader it came back out with a reset. So then I ran the unlocker again. That went smoothly and was able to flash a custom ROM with no problems.

Thanks for all your help and sorry for the long reply! Now to go back to Sprint to return the Touch Pro 2.
