so i was getting lots of request about com port failure regarding my thread on un-bricking, suddenly lots of people want to install stock India rom for kitkat update
so i thought lets put all problems people are facing in one thread
USE only XP 32 bit or win 7 32 bit OS nothing else works.
After installing drivers plug the phone and wait for drivers to install and note the com ports
Prob) gnqc download doesn't works gives error "application failed to start"
sol) install VC++ 2005 redistributeble SP1 ATL security upgrade
Prob) receive incorrect parameter error.
sol) you are using Chinese flash tool so make sure your copy of windows supports Chinese change local settings in control panel or use English version
Prob) error in gnqc bp_image file doesn't exist
sol) make sure your stock rom is Indian version and does not have Chinese characters
Prob) open com port failure
sol) check if your com ports are used by any other app if not it means com port drivers are not installed for your phone all you have to do is to reboot the phone while still plugged in and it will install another set of drivers
will it work with windows 8.1 64 bit running windowx xp sp1 in virtual box

No and to everyone trying to do that in virtual box let this be a fair warning the reason is during flashing your phone will switch off/restart that will cause the USB to unplug from virtual machine it will be equivalent to removing USB while flashing and result in bricked phone. though it may work in emergency mode but don't try unless someone who has done it confirms or you have no other option left
PS : if you are on win 8.1 x64 I suggest you to install win7 32 bit on a completely different hard drive because chances are you have an EFI system and your hdd is under gpt so installing 32bit os on that hdd will not be possible

Hi,
I keep getting error (Code 43) when trying to upgrade my O2 2002 ROM to WM2003SE.
I've tried everything to get around the error, the only thing i haven't changed yet is the bootloader version. (Currently on v 5.22)
If anyone can provide some advice this would be great.
Thanks
W
Bootloader 5.22 is alright. Have it also and do not have any Problems with it.....
Have you tried another PC to do the upgrade?
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
Yeah - I have tried other machines to do the upgrade - 2 laptops and a desktop.
All report the same error.
The wierd thing for me is that it seems to be Windows XP that reports the error - I get a Code 43 error in device manager - I've attached an image of the error i get.
I've also upgraded all my laptops USB drivers, chipset, BIOS - basically everything to see if it was a problem with a version of the driver or firmware i was running but the error remains unchanged.
Everything runs just fine until Programme A wants to upload the new image - the screen where you should see the progress bar as the new ROM is uploaded - I see that screen for a split second before the Qtek reboots back into the old ROM!
Thanks for the reply
W
Code 43
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
You could try a different usb port and also make sure it is connected direct and not through a hub.
Yup!
Tried both my USB ports, also tried disabling the "USB Root Hub" in Device manager - I don't have a USB hub plugged into my laptop, but there is one reported in Device Manager - I guess it's internal to the PC?
I figured that if there was a hub built into the laptop that would cause the communication problems experienced by USB hubs.
I couldn't disable all the USB Root Hub instances without switching off the USB port, so i closed all the ones i could and still have the port alive.
Still got the problem - The USB Root Hub in Device Manager - you think this is the "Hub" that the upgrade documentation says will create the error?
I give up...
Thats it! Back to the Good ol T-Mobile v4 ROM.
I've done everything including downgrade my laptop to Win 98 to try USB 1 drivers for this WM 2003 SE upgrade.
I've read every research article, installed every patch, been through TechNet and MSDN libraries.
This thing will just not work!
The universe is trying to tell me something!!
usb and 98 is not the best match
some chipset require special drivers for usb to behave like via
with xp having the latest service pack is prob a good idear
Hi!
I have a problem... the ActiveSync 4.1 install program says that I need to have the latest service pack installed, but I don't have it... Is there a way to somehow install it without having SP2?
EDIT: This problem is already solved, but I have another one... look at my next post here
I've run AS 4.1 on XP SP1 with no problems. Currently running AS 4.2 beta on XP SP1 again with no issues.
I just ran the install, it did'nt report anything back.
I suggest you update XP with the custom option.
ok, I installed ActiveSync 4.2 by using the Windows 2000 compatibility mode
But now I have another problem It doesn't see my MDA Pro... when I connect my MDA, it's recognized as a Windows Mobile device, but it asks me for some drivers which I don't have. So I don't install any drivers, and AS doesn't see it....
EDIT:
I tried uninstalling AS, and installing AS 4.1, and it still doesn't work. It asks me for a driver, and when I tell him to install it automatically, here's what it says (I have a Polish version of Windows, but I'll try to translate the error message to English):
Can't install hardware
An error occurred when installing this hardware:
Windows Mobile-based Device
An error occurred when installing this device.
There's no required entry in the driver installation file. The reason can be that the INF file was written for Windows 95 or newer system. Contact your hardware vendor.

Can anyone help me?
hello!
i just installed a fresh new copy of Windows Vista x86 Build 5600 and I've realized that Windows Mobile Device Center isn't installed.
I've searched and at Microsoft I've downloaded a file: drvupdate-x86.msi which appears on Control Panel as Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update!
Well, It's not the program, is it??? I instalde Driver Update but I don't seem to install the Program at all!
I've searched on XDA and I've found some tips, which I've tried with no result!
Add Key to registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft named WHOS. it's supposed when I plug USB cable to PC and Universal, appear on Windows upgrade saying there is a new upgrade available. Doesnt appear!
I've seen a topic saying:
"...Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...bc9 4587a.exe
2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"
3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.
4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)"
Downloaded the file and done all right but I dont seam to make it work!
I've ONCE installed WMDC with no errors but the device appeared "NOT CONNECTED".
Now, after a NEW fresh instalation, I cant even install WMDc!
Please help!
I would like to keep vista installed, but without sync there's no way!!!!

Hello guys ;
I'm having a problem getting my X2 recognized on my pc ( running windows 7 ) ....
First ,i want to say that i have it before working on my previous windows 7 version without nay problem , when I installed this fresh version of win 7 , it didn't recognize it correctly and it search for windows update and locate a strange driver ( Microsoft sync usb ) which changes nothing at all..
i tried downloading windows mobile Device center separately and installed latest version with driver update , but it also doesn't recognize it it appears to be installing a new driver but it end with saying " Driver installation failed - unidentified device "
the mobile device center works fie but doesn't see my X2 !!!!
I don't know where is the problem,can you help ?
did you load MS Sync wiht the phone connected via USB? When I re-installed it on my Win 7 PC, it only loaded the drivers correctly after I had the phone plugged in and connected.
When getting active sync from Microsoft, I assume that you choose the Win7 version and not the XP version ... (just checking).
Not sure what else I can offer other then it is working fine with the connection via the USB and via BT (the BT connection is with my work PC -- also Win 7 professional, the home PC is Win 7 Premium).
Good luck.
I did , no sue
it either sas " unidentified device - or device unplugged " .. or it installs driver for Microosft USB Sync "
any ideas ?
try to disable McAfee Firewall(or any other firewall) and reconnect ur phone
i disabled antivirus and no firewall is running
(Moved from development forum, newb root thread)
I recently received my phone back from a HTC repair. I hadn't used it til today as I was waiting for froyd 1.5 to come out before rooting it and setting it up. Today I switched it on and it asked me if I wanted to update the software, I clicked no. Then I followed the steps in the OP but had problems in step 5 : everytime I typed anything (including "su") and hit enter I had a message saying "denied" or words to that effect, despite the UniversalAndroot program giving the "woot rooted" message.
This is the part where I might have done something stupid - I decided to let the phone update itself to the latest software, and then I was planning to run the UniversalAndroot again. I thought that maybe UA had been tested on the latest official HTC stuff but not whatever 2.1 but not fully updated version that mine had come back from repair with. It went to the update screen and the progress bar completed, it tried to reboot but just got stuck on the white boot screen with the green HTC logo. If I pull the battery out and start again it just hangs at the same screen.
I can get the 2.73.405.5 WWE RUU to see the phone when in fastboot, but when I try to update it it eventually gives me error 140 "bootloader version error".
I tried to load it through HBOOT using kazuni's technique in his thread "A way of flashing the RUU rom extract" (sorry, it won't let me paste a link to the actual thread) but it says "main version is older, update fail". Do I need to send it off to HTC again? I just got it back! Will they be able to tell what broke it and refuse to fix it?
Many many thanks
Try the 2.1 downgrade in my sig below.
Please could you explain "The recovery can be flashed via running 'runindos.bat'."? I assume I need to install this adb program that people keep mentioning?
Also what is the goal here? To upgrade my phone to 2.1 (which was already on from the HTC repair, the OTA update just said something about adding g-sensor calibration tool) to then root it or to downgrade my phone to 1.5 to root?
Many thanks!
Ah, just seen adb guide on villain forums. OK, I'll follow the guide to get adb installed, put your recovery files in the /tools folder, but then how exactly do I flash the recovery? Simply by typing runindos.bat in cmd whilst in the correct folder?
Ah, I see, I just run the batch file from your recovery download. Sorry for all the dumb questions! I ran this with my phone on fastboot usb but it said this :
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

error: device not found

"Files copied and permissions set, rebooting HTC Andriod 2.1"
"Your phone will now reboot into normal mode, then reboot into recovery mode. I
f it does not reboot the second time, wait 10 minutes and manually reboot and be
gin again."
error: device not found
As far as I can tell nothing happened on my phone. I assume my usb drivers are fine as the RUU was able to begin updating before it gave me the 140 version error. Any ideas?
It's the ADB drivers, what OS are you using?
I am using Windows 7. I thought i read that the latest version of htc sync had drivers fully compatible with win 7 and the RUU seems to see it fine once I selected 'my htc' drivers under adb in device manager. I am confused!

You may want to build an XP workstation eitha virtual or physical. Don't be alarmed. Yes, the latest version of HTC Sync does contain the drivers. However, they some what don't work for majority of users. Sorry.
Just did a quick google - will http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx work?

Yeh, to install XP you will need an install disk, unless you download XP Trial version VHD. This is the trial version from Microsoft in virtual machine mode.
