I don't know if this also resolves the TomTom issue but TomTom are working on a seperate update to resolve any problems with the C500.

Guest atonks Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Could it be the old Firewall problem? Tried switching it off? Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest mwille Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Have to ask the age-old question that has troubled me with every ROM update I've ever performed : Paul, SIMlock stays of ? Certificationlock stays of ? I don't mind the certificationlock that much but I'd really hate having to have the simlock removed all over again..
Guest DSE Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Hi everyone my first post as i just got my C500. I have tried to update 7 times and each one has failed with connection error 264 ^_^ . The phone is connected to the pc with Activesync but as soon as the update starts Activesync switches off. Tried with firewall off and used every usb port anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

OTA still works

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Try running the update from the bootloader. Turn the phone off, hold the camera button down and while doing so, press the power button for one second then release. This should start the phone into the bootloader, which may help you flash.
