as i dont have sd card but i have mmc card
thanks and regards
dun think you can flash the 1.03--> 1.06 BL
sa any one knows how to flash boot loader
could you be more precise, as in:
1. What was the directory contents when you started your upgrade
2. What did your devicedata file say before the upgrade?
3. What are the operator id & language of the NBF files?
4. Did you previously upgrade?
i dont know i got unit in totally dead condition
with mmc card and some rom image
Reflashing
Hello everyone, hope you're having a good Xmas.
I have the same problem but it's partly of my own making. I was upgrading my O2 XDA II to the lastest ROM (obtained from O2 website) and my laptop went into sleep mode after 46% of the upgrade was complete. Now all I have is the O2 blue screen. Soft and hard resets do nothing.
I did backup all my data (which I'm not sure includes the OS) to SDIO before starting the update and don't know if I can recover from that.
I will need to send it back to have it re-flashed if I can't find a solution but any advice you guys can give would be most welcome. At the moment my PC can't see the usb connected XDA and there's no activity on the XDA screen.
Thanks for your support people!

It sounds like your radio has been stuffed... This is BAD...
First, try to flash a stock carrier rom(preferably your original carrier rom) and see if it goes past the 10-15% mark. If not you can try to flash a Radio only rom.
The best way, since it reset into bootloader anyway & (good onya) you have Hard SPL installed, is to use the sd card method.
1. Format sd card fat32.
2. Copy the .nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh".
3. Put sd card in Hermes and reset. Follow prompts...
Make sure you have a charged battery as it is pretty battery draining (especially multiple flashes).
If you can't get the radio rom on, you can AT LEAST install a new OS only rom. It will be a good PDA BUT won't work as a phone anymore...
Good Luck...
thank you for reply.
my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever.
i was testing it wht plug-unplug usb, and it allways show me if it is serial or usb.... that means that system is functioning.
i try to bootup wht mmc fat, and it didnt work
tell me what files do i need to transfer to mmc? do i need to change name of RUU.....exe to stg else or just nbh thing?
and in what location on mmc should i save it? or just in mmc:\ (root)
and can i hack my radiorom after i setup system? or i need to do that before?
thanx again
btw i am poweruser of symbian, and i am proud owner of smallest s60v3 device (6120).
i found on it samsungs processor.... and i belive that it is similar as windows mobile. and we have a lot of troubles wht rom upgrading... is there any possibility to include you guys in symbian ROM moding? it would be gr8 bcs i didnt cee much skilled developers for windows XP in symbian freak community
btw some guy just told me that he has some java application which enabling write on ROM and if he say truth he will share it wht me.
he is pc/phone servicer, and he is really good as far as i know.
if this thing exists, is there any possibility to extract RUU from exe to pc and i would copy/paste every single file(wht some changes) as i want to do to my nokia hehehehehehehe
wook
"my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever." - THIS IS BOOTLOADER...
On the screen it should say what IPL and SPL you have, What are they?
2. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh". You can use a radio only rom or a stock carrier rom - after flashing carrier rom and if the radio rom is restored then flash radio of your choice.
As for running windows on a symbian phone, I don't really know but I'd think that it wouldn't work as the symbian os may have hard wired drivers in the device. You'd have to ask some-one else in the know....
Cheers....
ultramag, iv posted spl and ipl version in 1st post
btw i didnt think abt runing winmob on symbian device, i was thinking of making RUU for symbian.
while RUU is rar file, we could make one for symbian, and bricket phones wouldnt be needed to send to service. btw we could then deit rom and remove platsecurity and make symbiansigned useless. then wount be any need for ROMpatching...(it pach ram actualy) all we need is drivers for symbian device and that we dont have
bt smthing will come i am working on clocking my 6120c and so far no sucess
btw, thank you for help, i am going to load mmc tonight (16:42 here)
ultramag69 thank you my friend for suport. iv successifuly get up my system
heheheehehehehe
btw i dont have imei info and Radio Rom version
i think that i should use CID and SIM unlocker?
As I said on the 2nd post, Your radio rom may be stuffed. This could mean its an unfixable brick. You can use the PDA functions BUT you may not be able to restore the Phone functions.
Using the sd card method though, you can try to install a radio only rom (this only tries to install the radio, the OS you have on there will remain the same so even if the radio rom install is unsuccessful you can still use the PDA functions).
You should also try to install a carrier stock rom (rom supplied by your original carrier) as this , on rare occasions, has restored the radio rom.
Good luck in your Endeavour..
Cheers...
i will try to run radioROM.cab from mmc. seems like stg is wron wht my usb cable. it cant get synced wht pc....?
i will veawe its hardware and check "all" tngs from usb to rom and to flash, at least till crystalls
btw this platiform is awsome
wht resco i can edit rom files??? whd i am amased
i just need paint and hex editor
and ill make anything
btw is there any dll exe... decompilers??? and i need to check is there python for wm6
and then ill be able to write my own programs
thanx bro again
You have bricked hardware radio - flashing radio rom wouldn't work. Send it to good service and probably they will repair it.
hmmm, i would sen it right now, but there is no service around...., and i am better in hardware and software more than 75% local servicists....ill gess tht ill figure stg
ppl, i am wondering:
why memory card is displayed in "device:\" as folder? as far as i know it is a disk(fat32) and why i have extended_ROM and option to remove it?
why i cand access to orginal ROM drive? and why winm0b is playing wht virtual drives?
offtopic:
does any1 has experience wht pythonCE? and if there is ziped command samples for pythons compiled library? i would like to get it
Thank you

It is not clear if you fixed your phone.
It does not sound like you have followed ultramag69 instructions very well. Probably because Englsih is not your first tongue and you have little knowledge of PPC.
You need to download a Radio ROM here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Then follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
A few points that you need to understand. Resco can not edit ROM files. Your Hermes does not use a MMC card it uses MicroSD. If you are connected to ActiveSync then your Storage Card shows up as a folder; that's just the way it is! Pretty much all your other questions are answered in the WIKI here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Dear Members,
I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"
Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).
On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]
I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.
After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.
Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.
Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.
Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.
I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.
Thanks for your time.
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1. 40. 0lopro
If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.
Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.
3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Again problem!
Dear ultramag69,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.
And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.
After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.
First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.
However, I got the erro 286
I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|
I don't know what to do with this dead device now !
Thank you very very much for your time and help
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.
I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.
Cheers...
Hello ultramag69,
Thanks alot for your reply.
Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.
I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.
But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).
I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.
I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.
This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.
Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.
And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.

If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.
I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.
DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.
The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.
Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.
Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.
Cheers...
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.
Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.
I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.
After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).
And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.
Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?
I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.
I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?
I am very excited in getting it working again.
Thanks alot.
Cheers...
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.
Cheers...
I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.
Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
Hi All,
Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.
Thanks for your reply.
I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.
I am using the SD flush method.
Any suggestions ?
THank s alot for your help!
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...
If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.
Cheers...
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.
You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.
I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...
Cheers...
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.
Prost :-D
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.
hi everybody...i'm new on this forum and i don't have any experience with flashing roms...i have a Hermes with windows mobile 6 that doesn't want to go along with the upgrades(SPL for start).I read a lot of tutorials but no luck..booted the phone in bootloader mode:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.40.Olipro
i'm not the first owner of the phone...it runs well but i'd like to put wm 6.1 on it.
i have tried to hard spl, my phone resets in bootloader mode...the pc recognizes it but after 2-3 minutes it gives me an error( error 260)...
I am currently using windows vista ultimate 32-bit...please give me a hand guys...thanks in advance
please start reading here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
best way to flash is from the SD Card:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
thanks alot for the response but i am aware of the procedure...i was thinking of trying to flash the rom directly without hard spl...i know it's not recommended...if someone could help me with the error i get i'l apreciate it...
just wondering...could i flash a windows mobile 6.1 rom using the sd card method without doing hard spl (using the spl i have now: 1.40 Olipro) ?

thanks for the posts guys..from my last post i've flashed a f ew roms on my hermes without any problems..istil have spl 1.40..i guess the risk of bricking my device is bigger..i'm now lookIng for a clean 6.1 rom..without any preinstalled aps and crap i dont use...a recommandation would be nice
Hi Guys
I need your help right now...
It's my first time I'm trying to flash my MDA VARIO II form WM 5 to WM 6.
I found this ROM here in the Board:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359917&highlight=Shamanix_WM6_Ultimate_v2_FINAL
I also installed HardSPL 7 Using this guide:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
And now I want to install the new ROM Using this Guide and the File above:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
But when I click Autodetect it says: Error! Unknown Version.
Sorry for asking so stupid questions but i am a bit confused right now and I really don't want to crash my phone, this would be a mess....
Can Anybody Help me?
And is there Anything else to look after? I read something about CID unlock in the wiki, is this done by installing HardSPL?
ty so far
DasEtwas
First i would suggest reading the wiki pages as you may find something that could help, also it may not be detecting it as you do need to press accept or yes to run something on your hermes. although if it doesnt detect it you can see what spl you are running (press ok, power and reset button together) from there you can select what version you have on your devise it will also check whether hard-spl worked.
Hope this helps and good luck
Hard SPL is installed and I read the wiki, but I don't get behind the CID^^
The question is: Is this ROM Above comaptible to my MDA Vario? And anyway what is this CID?
Ty so far
DasEtwas
If you downloaded it from the Hermes section then yes...
As you have Hard SPL V7(?) (check if SPL is 2.10 oli), try the sd card method...
1. Format sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader, Scotty93 told you how.
3. Follow the prompts...
Easy...
Yes I installed Hard SPL V7 and in the bootloader it says SPL 2.10 olipro.
I will try the method now *Wish me good luck*
ty so far

Edit:
Hm i don't have an Adapter for the Micro SD Card, is it possible to copy the nbh File onto the Card using Active Sync, while it's in the Phone?
Edit: Hm n1 one I tried to formate my SD Card (Yeah I found the Adapter) but windows had an Error and now it hangs up everytime I try to access the card....
