Aloha,
I am new to this type of device, so please bear with me. I tried a rom upgrade and it failed, now all my pda will do is go to the bootloader screen, but I can run diagnostic test but that is pretty much it. I cannot do a hard reset, and a soft one does not work. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this unit working again. HELP?!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Stefan
It did not work
Because my pda is stuck on diagnostics only, my computer does not recognize the USB it is attached to. If I open up the unit and disconnect the battery, will that take care of the problem?
Is there anything else I can do?
if you use a sdcard reader and follow the guide to get a rom to the sdcard
and enter bootloader it should begin to upgrade the rom by itself
Where can I get a sd cardreader? can I get one from a computer store?

For example yes.
You require a SD-Card Reader/writer and a SD-Card >= 64 MB
Stefan
sd card reader
Okay, I have a card reader. When I soft boot (the only way my pda will turn on) I get the bootloader 5.15 screen up. What next.
Oh by the way, if I did not say it before, Thank you to all who are helping me.
when you follow the guide to put the rom on the sd card
and enter the bootloader it auto upgrade your device with the new
rom
I do not understand what you mean by the guide. I have no guide.

Please excuse me for being stupid in this matter, but when I did as the guide said, I could not find a rom image. Where can I find it?

Come on gui.
Have you ever read a liitle bt here in the Forum or in the Wiki?
You can get a ROm from a provider of a phone, from
http://www.romkitchen.de/ or http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
Stefan
Thank you,
I found them and will try it.
Thank you.
LumpiStefan,
I downloaded and tried to run the flash, but it kept giving me cannot read file because of I/O device error. Now I am getting real flustered. Do you have any advice? , is there some setting that I have to change?
I probably should just find someone who repairs stuff like this.
Thank you for your help so far.
Jdubbs
What have you downloaded and where do you get this error message?
Stefan
I downloaded acouple actually. I downloaded the rom update 3.15.15 ENG but my system could see it because it was a ENG file. I also went to your kitchen and downloaded one of your roms with the standard stuff associated with it for my version of the rom (3.15.15).
I am going to put all of the programs I need on top a disk and take it to another computer to see if that works. My computer may be causing the errors.
Sorry Lumpistefan,
I got the error when I tried to copy the rom to my sd card during the osimage program.
I downloaded the file, extracted it, ran osimage and found the file and marked it as my source file. I used my sd card as the destination drive ( it was labeled as my E: drive on the drop down box, and hit copy. That is when I received the error concerning the I/O device.
I hope this helps you help me, I tried to remember the best I could.
Aloha
LumpyStefan,
I got it to work thanks to your help. But I still cannot get it unlocked. I installed the xdaunlock patch, but when I run it, it says unable to get code.
What setting should my phone be on? and what freq should I use for the United States?
Mahalo,
Jdubbs
Unlocking Process depends on the installed ROM and Radio Version. So what Versions do you have installed?
The freq. you should use depends on your provider. As much as i know, in the US the 900 and 1900 freq. are used.
Stefan
The ROM version I ve is 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version is 3.28.00
I tried to download the special Edition ROM, I got a bad address. Is there someplace that I can download it?
Mahalo,

Ok, I've been trying to update my 8525 for hours...here is my problem. First, I tried to HardSPL-v7 but I kept getting an "Error [240] File open". I think this is preventing me from doing any ROM update. When I try to run the Cingular ROM update activesync shuts down and I get a connection error, I think it is "error [260]". I have wiped or cleaned out my 8525 so that I am back to day one. I have tried both ROM updates on 2 separate computers and I get same error messages on both computers. I have searched the Wiki's but have found nothing, so please help. As you can tell, I am a virgin to ROM updates so please go gently.
I should add, my present ver. ROM AKU 2.3 (1.34.502.7018.01H) SPL 1.06 IPL 1.01. Radio is 1.16.
have you taken a look at my Safe WM5 Upgrade Guide??
If you follow this guide EXACTLY, you should be fine.

I have, I have even tried the mtty "fix" but I had problems with that as well. I get a modem connection screen but there is nothing about a USB connection.
Bit more info would be nice, which ROM are downloading, and where from??
Also what procedure are you doing to update?? EXACT info please.

Ok, I just tried it 2 more times, Hard-SPL. It flashes to the 8525 and goes into bootloader and shows the following "HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds" at this point activesync 4.5 shuts down the 8525 is stuck in bootloader (it never reboots) and after a few minutes I get "Error [260] Upated Error". Hard SPL shuts down and the 8525 is stuck in bootloader mode. At this point I have been disconnecting the USB cable and doing a soft reset, once the phone is on, I go into bootloader and the old info shows up SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01.
Let me have a think, firstly do you have the latest versions of the .net framework installed?
I was able to finally run HardSPLv7, I had to do it on another computer. Now, I would like to update to RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe. I assume I should use the same computer that I used to successfully run HardSPL. Do I need to rebuild the rom file with RUUWrapper.exe (CustomRUU by olipro) & Dutty's Good NBH Tool, before running the RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe update?

Yes if you carry on the guide past flashing hardspl you will get the radio updated aswell.
Can i ask, what is different on the computer you used???

Off hand, the major difference would be Intel (worked) vs. AMD (failed) but I doubt that is the problem, you would be flooded with questions due to so many computers that have AMD chips. The USB cable was the same as well. I'll have to think about that...
Definatly check your "failed" computer is up to date with .net and everything else, most likely a software problem.
I have this problem as well..
AT&T 8525 windows moble 6 trying to install the hardspl v7.
v3.5 and 3.0 .net framework.
the RUUwrapper program gets to the 'verifiying info' screen then give me an erroe 240 message. 'the update utility can not open the requested file.'
any help would be great. Looking to add the touch it interface.
thanks,
Mike
Read the post Hard SPL at the top of this forum and go to page 116 ( I believe its post #1160) and use the sd card method. You don't need to use the pc at all. I generally flasah ALL os's using the sd card method as it seems to be safer then using the usb method. No "sync errors" to deal with.
Cheers...
I have the exact same problem..
When it goes to tri-color screen, the USB connection goes off and windows will pop up the search for driver dialogue box.. then afterward another dialogue box will appear saying Error [260].
I tried restarting my pc and device (even removing the battery) but still failure
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I loaded it thru the sd card just as the post above suggested. It loaded the hardspl just fine. My PPC seems to run faster as well.
Thanks for the help! it is much appreciated.

One thing that i have learned from flashing my 8525 is to remove any USB device except the 8525. This has worked for me.

But my mouse is on USB. I might try on different computer and post back the results.
UPDATE
I tried using my friend's laptop and it installed without a problem. I think the issue is with the .NET framework. I installed the latest one before flashing and it worked fine. Hmmm.. Im not sure about this tho.
Hello.... Try the sd card method. You don't need the computer...
Sorry if I sound condescending, but, I seem to find a lot of people saying that they have sync problems. Solution, Take the pc out of the equation (except to load files onto sd card). It is SOOO much safer then using the pc, no "sync" problems, no chance of usb being disconnected, reset button being hit or , worst case scenario, power failure...
You have to either have little or no battery power or MANUALLY hit the reset button with the stylus to stop the flash...
And thats my 2 cents....
Refer to post #13 to find out how to use sd card method to flash hard spl...
Cheers...
sd card method???
how?
Ok...I have been through all the posts about upgrading etc. I still have a problem and I'm sure that I'm overlooking something....but I can't figure it out on my own. Here is what is happening (it does the same thing with every RUU that I've used...the DST fix...upgrading to WM6....etc)
1. I run the RUU and let it go through its routine (extract files, verify info on pc, etc.)
2. I check the box that says I have read the readme and click next
3. The next screen appears and it has the following steps:
Connect to the USB cable (check)
Establish an ActiveSync Connection (check)
Disable standby and hibernation on PC (check)
Make sure batter is > 50% (check)
Then I check the box and click next
4. I pick the update and click on the update button
5. I verify that I want to upgrade my phone from ROM verion x.xx.xxx to x.xx.xxx and click next
6. The program tells me that I am finally ready to update...and if I am sure I want to proceed to click next...so I click next
7. As soon as I click next...the progress bar comes up on my pc and my phone goes into standby mode (no bootloader...just standby). The progress bar never moves.
8. After a minute or two the RUU give me the ERROR [260]: Connection
9. I reboot my device and repeat steps 1-8
10. I reboot my device and my computer and repeat steps 1 - 8.
Now if I leave my device connected to the usb and close out the RUU after it gives me the ERROR [260], and then run the RUU again...when it is first verifying the information on my pc (before it asks any questions and before it tells me to connect my device) it will throw the device into bootloader mode. If I try to keep running the RUU while the device is in bootloader mode it give me the error that my device is not connected. I have tried and tried...maybe one of ya'll can help me. Thanks in advance
Chris
Some questions:
.) Is your desktop PC running XP or Vista?
If you have a firewall running, close it.
.) If you running Vista check this guide:

XP
No firewall
I tried to flash the WM6 from AT&T I assume its beta
and no did not install the Olipros bootloader
Ok...I think I found out how to do this...Ya'll can tell me if I'm screwing something up.
I go through all the steps listed above until it gets to the progress screen. When it gets there I manually put the the device in bootloader mode (Power, side ok, and reset). Once I do this...the progress bar starts moving. I will let you know if this works...
Hmmmm
Its not the way it should work but if it works its ok
You should have installed Olipros HardSPL first and then try to flash an official rom. If its working then something with your download is wrong.
What ROM is on there now?
Has the phone been CID unlocked?
Oli's CustomRUU is better, you may want to unpack the ROM and put the NBH in a folder with Oli's RUU and then do the upgrade.
BTW, gerald_s is right, you should not have to do that... what you may want to do is put the phone in Bootloader mode manually (while not connected to the PC), then plug in the USB, then start the RUU. That helps some people with 260 error.
I've got the same damn issue... it's driving me crazy. I had this occur when I flashed my Hermes100 from the stock version to Custel's. After about 15 starts and reboots it took. I'm now trying to get to Vp3G's 3.60 and it continues to give me the 260 error.
I am trying to figure out how to fomat my micro, but really hoping to find a solution over cable.
Hermes 100
IPL 1.04
SPL - 2.10 Olipro
Any suggestions?
You may be trying to flash a rom that includes the radio rom. What is your device? Is it possible that your device is a new x01ht with radio 1.14 and radio bootloader 0182? If yes, then you will get this error when you try to flash a rom with this method because during the flash it will be disconnected by the radio bootloader because it is not overwriteable. If you flash using the NBH file on the microSD, it will skip past radio and radio boot and just flash the other parts of the file.

If you are running windows XP, just connect the card to the computer, open MY COMPUTER, right-click the removable disk that is your microSD and then click format. Default in windows xp is to format using FAT32 filesystem which is perfect.
The thing is... if you dont know how to format a drive in Windows, should you be flashing your device yourself?
Which Solution???
I've got a Softbank X01HT with:
S/N: HT639
SuperCID <--- result of checking by mtty
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10Olipro
GSM: 1.47.00.10
OS: 3.54.07 WWE
I tried to flash with new Schap 3.54c but the process would not be done coz ERROR 262 or ERROR 302. Fortunately, after failure of flashing, my device is still normal running. Then I tried to flash radio 1.51.00.10 but I got the same above. Once again, I have just tried to flash splash screen and I got the same result too. It mean my device can not upgrade anything !
Anybody here show me a solution that help my device to become a normal device, I mean it will be able to flash anything ROM as it would be! Don't tell me READ and READ, I had read so much . And don't tell me use MTTY again SPL1.01MFG, I think that is a final solution

I forgot to tell that, I had flashed through extra memory card yet, and could be done!
But I wanna flash ROM against CustomRUU through MS Active Sync as I had used before. Can you help me
i have a problem very similar to Chris. when i check the box "yes activesync is syncronised", and then the progressbar shows up and the phone goes into standby.
i've turned standby of in powermanagement options.
my os is XP
i use active sync v4.5
and this is first time i try this.
i've read something about this bootloader, i can get there but then i cannot sync with active sync. so i kinda stuck.
have been searching the forums and this was the same problem as mine but i don't understand your solutions.
//KufrA
--Problem solved--
i did all things without activesync,
1. start phone in bootloader
2. do the install
3. wait 0% to 100%, and done.
is there a problem with active sync or why do i have to do anything with it at all?
Hi All,
I'm new to the PDA-world and the Hermes. I'm trying to Hard SPL my Hermes, but it fails everytime.
When I run 2.10 - Hard-SPL-V7, it kills activesync and my connection is lost and I get always the message "error 260, Update error".
I have the latest framework edition and tried it on 3 pc's (1 Vista, 2 XP)...
What am I doing wrong?
Hope somebody can help me....
Kind Regards,
Micha
1). dont connect to active sync. open active sync and untick "allow usb connections".
2). put hermes into bootloader and connect to usb.
3). run ruu_wrapper.exe
should update to hard spl....
dont forget to tick "allow usb connections" again or you wnot be able to sync..
error 260 is an open port error.
if you wish to flash new os would advise to use sd card method. its safer than using the computer. just make sure you have greater than 50% battery power. happy flashing
Thnx, will give it a try.
First I have to flash HardSPL before I can flash a new OS, don't I?
yep, sorry, should have said run the ruu_wrapper for hard spl. My bad...
im having the same problem. I also tried the way ultramag recommended but i also received the same ending. After time i try i get the Error 260 Update error. Im running SPL 2.04 and the HTC WM6 rom from the HTC website. Does any one know what the problem is?

NOOOOO, that won't work, you need the SSPL to deploy to the phone, if you're running stock HTC bootloader this won't work at all, otherwise we'd have no need for Hard-SPL
hey olipro, then how would i fix this. Im running the stock rom from the HTC website with no hacks. Im trying to load PDA Corners V9 rom. Any ideas on how to fix? thanks!
Take a peek at the guide i wrote about updating the hardspl. Theres some explanation about why we need to use SSPL and the procedures.
http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/hardspl
thats the guide i used. it still gives me the error. I even unchecked "allow connections" cause i read somewhere that that would help.
i did this two days ago on my phone, im running windows vista on my home laptop and got any number of errors and problems trying to do it via sync with the phone (even after reading the vista troubleshooter, with the drivers etc)
What i ended up using was the memory card upgrade, dump the file onto the memory card and go into bootloader with the card installed.
worked fine doing that way, maybe less risky as there is no chance of the usb cable coming out.
just make sure you have a good battery charge on the phone.

How big is your SD card? Flashing only works with cards <2GB. Also, sometimes certain cards just don't work for flashing, and just swapping to a different card fixes the problem.
I assume you searched the wiki, and found the relevant pages on the Hermes (including SD Card Flashing and other things about flashing/upgrading) there?
Still Lost
My SD is 2GB and I have tried many times but i just keep getting the 4 color screen. rt now when i boot from the SD my screen goes white and displays "Loading..." and then returns to bootloader screen. When i attempt to flash the rom via PC to WM5 or WM6 i get the Error 260, i also get a vendor ID error sometimes.
How can i find the key 8525 thread that i am told has the answer to my delima? I keep picking up bits and pieces but am missing some key steps and tips.

That sounds like the SD card is formatted incorrectly. Make sure it's formatted using fat32, nothing else will work.
Still not there from here
Thanks for your help. Before I formatted the SD FAT32, nothing would happen doing the bootloader reset. OK/ON/reset button.
After format and only the hermimg.nbh file renamed as indicated, I then get what looks like the loading process but back to the bootloader screen.
Q1: This is an AT&T 8525, it was perfectly fine before failure from WM5 to WM6 (process froze at 20%), what is the RUU file that I need to put on SD??
Q2: After "Loading ..." I try the WM5 PC upgrade of ROM via USB cable, I get the load process to appear to work but it gets to 1% and the phone reboots and the PC reports error [294]: Invalid vendor ID. If I do this again I will get the Error [260]. Ive repeated the process several times.
Is this the normal course to take or should the "SD Method" (with the WM5 or WM6 RUU.. file) complete the process to a working OS?
Q3: Is my situation hopeless? ATT will take my out of warrantee 8525 and reflash for $129. Reading the threads it seems that like me this can be done by me, this is my desire.
Q4: I still am confused by some basic terms and assumed steps. I dont understand "Hard SPL" or OLI's IPLs/SPLs and when and when to use them.
The newbe guide has been off line. I will look again. Is there a single place to read about "radio PDAs and the 8525 and understand the software build and custom options?
Sy for the long post. But still want to fix if possible or I will be force to mail in for ATT repair.
Thank you all.

Oh boy, you haven't installed HardSPL? You are walking a bit of a line there mate...
HardSPL is a custom boot loader that makes bricking your phone when flashing much harder to do, and helps large amounts in the recovery process if you phone does brick.
Does the phone boot at this point? If so, do not try flashing the phone again. Go get a copy of HardSPL and install it, then try flashing from the SD.
I still wonder why people didn't read before bricking...
Anyway, you should start reading now and wiki is your friend. Your SPL is 2.03, so look at the bottom of the page (there is only one solution till now, so good luck with that):
Code:
1. Boot OS using KITL+PB
2. Do no disconnect your HERMES till the end of the step 6
3. Download SSPL on HERMES by wifi from ie explorer
4. Launch SSPL then flash Hard-SPL from your computer
5. Put your hermes in bootloader mode
6. Flash any radio in NBH format from your computer
Still researching and working this bricked 8525
Thanks for coming to my aide. I believe that I have Hard SPL'd my device. I downloaded Olipro's Hard SPL v7. extracted the RUU_ file and renamed to hermimg.nbh.
I then put it on an SD card and held the keys and reset. The device displayed a white screen and "Loading..." appeared. Afterward the 8525 returned to the stipped boat loader screen and that is where I am now.
Some of the help i receive and read on wiki threads has me confused with what to do next and how "exactly" to do it.
It does seem that I am not alone and people have fixed their phones and the process to do this is on the forum. I'm just still missing something.
Help me further if u can.
Thank you.

FYI: bad form to PM someone and post the same thing here. Keep it in the thread so others can be helped as well.
As I replied in the PM, if I'm understanding your post correctly, the phone boots to the tri-colour screen?
What text is showing on the screen? This will tell if HardSPL is on the phone or not.

There is small chance (read my previous post) to unbrick device with SPL2.03 so better try to get this back from where you take it.
And please, change topic, because this brick isn't HardSPL fault at all.
Edit: oh dear, it's even not your topic ...good game, I'm off
Hi, sorry for capitalized title...
I searched and tested for weeks for a solution in this helpful and very professional forum... but I still haven't found a trick for my problem:
I have a NIKI100 - 20key that ActiveSync doesn't recognize (usb port still charge in Windows environment but no data transmission seems to work).
I tried many PCs with many OS, and now I can say that THIS IS NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM (or not?).
So i tried SD flashing, and it works only with signed ROM, so I can't flash WM 6.5
Because of USB issue, I can't flash HardSPL.
MTTY doesn't find the NIKI on COM or USB port.
The question is:
Is there a way to flash HardSPL via SD or is there a signed ROM with WM 6.5??
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!!
ROM: 2.16.831.3
Radio: 1.65.29.22
NIKI100
SPL-1.22.0000
CPLD-4

Can you tell me what happens when you connect your device with your computer, when it is already in bootloadermode.
You can turn the phone in bootloadermode to turn your device off and press then on/off button and camera button on the same time, and keep them pressed until bootloader appears.
If I'm correct you will see Serial in the white block, just let me know what you see in the white block when you connect the phone with the computer, if I'm correct Serial will change in Usb, if not just let me know.
Greetz,
Tnx for reply...
I see USB when I connect the cable, Serial when I disconnect the cable.
I'm searching for a SD-card-method for flashing HardSPL: is this a good idea or I'm just wondering ?

Ok thanks, I'll do some searching and see if we can fix it.
Regards,
Ok, if I where in your situation I should try it this way, just be aware that I can not test it because I don't have such a problem, and you can brick your device if it went wrong.
1. Copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your sd-card
2. Copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe from your sd-card to your device
3. Turn phone off and remove sim and sd-card
4. Turn phone on and connect device to your computer
5. Run sspl-1.16-nike.exe on your phone
6. Wait until usb appears in your device
7. Unplug and replug the usb cable
8. Now flash the HardSPL 1.22
If you can run the HardSPL you should be able to flash a wm 6.5 rom.

All right from 1. to 7. but when I run flashin it shows error code 260 (unable to connect).
Is there a way to run SPL "JUMP" and then flash HardSPL via SD card? I think it's the only way to flash HardSPL
Rataplan is the expert one on this area,
but wath is your operating system? Seven or XP?
Because i just was able to hardspl on XP, all other things I was able to do on Seven.

Did you try to run the HardSPL 1.22 from the bootloader ?
Let me explain a little bit better, did you connect your device with your computer when your device is in bootloadermode and then run the HardSPL 1.22
If this fails, you can rename your nbh-file, hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh into nikeimg.nbh, copy nikeimg.nbh into the root of your sd-card and turn your device on while pressing the on/off button and the camerabutton on the same time and follow the instructions on the screen.
Succes,

Yes, I tried all of this method...The PC can't recognize the niki in bootloader mode.
When I put HardSPL on a tested sd-card (renamed NIKEIMG.nbh), I'm stuck in white screen with "Loading...".
I found some method for flashing HardSPL via sd-card (for Kaiser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835):
is there a SSPL Jump for Niki that run from sd (as with Kaiser sd-method)?
BTW, I think this is the right way... I'm trying and searching!
For Openview:
I tried with many PCs with XP Pro and 7. The niki usb port seems to be broken (only charges, but no data connection).
Nothing seems to work. If anyone has somethig for flash SSPL and HardSPL from SD, please post!!!
Any other ideas???
I think we tried everything but unfortunally the answer is that it isn't possible to flash the hardspl via sd, the only person you can ask is cmonex, she is the only one who can set this straight.
Here is her User cp but she is a very busy lady.
If you fix it, plse post it in this thread it can help others.
Goodluck buddy
Ok I'll try to contact mrs. cmonex. Of course, I'll post any solution (hope to find one... ).
Tnx for all!
SOLVED!
I solved the issue!! It was only a hardware problem with HTC ExtUSB port!!!
I cleared the pin and resoldered the port on motherboard. Then I flashed HardSPL via standard method and now I can flash anything form sd-card!!
Thanks to all.
Mr. Rataplan, now we can close this post!
Thanks!!
Great Marshalll, I'll ask Electroz to close this thread.
