SD card upgrade problem - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi,
I'm away from homeland and on a mac. Bootloader 1.04 on Italian HTC HERMES 200 (ROM 1.18.258.2 ; ROM Date 07/22/06 ; Radio 1.03.03.10)
Card upgrade is my only solution. I've extracted the cab file (latest imate release CID 1.06) renamed and copied to the SD card (SD was empty as requested), but when I try to launch the bootloder (OK on the left+POWER BUTTON+RESET) I only have a 4 horizontal color stripes screen (red, green, blu and white, where on the red it says HERM200 IPL-1.00 and HERM200 SPL-1.04 and in the white one: Serial) instead of the Bootloader page. What is wrong? CID conflict?
By the way my HERMES in not a preproduction device.
Thanks, really love this forum.
UPDATE: Paying more attention I can clearly see that when try to launch the bootloader for a second the screen says Loading...and the very quicly switches to that 4 bands weird layout.
I also reformatted the memory stick (jusy in case) to FAT32.

The CID on your italian TyTN is "QTEK_405", as your device is not CID-Unlocked you need to put a HERMIMG.nbh file with this CID on the SD-card. Unfortunately there is no HTC shipped upgrade in italian yet, so no NBH image with this CID is available. Sorry to say that you won't be able to flash your device from SD card now.
Other than that, now your device is in 1.04 bootloader, it is not recommended that you upgrade to a ROM with bootloader 1.06 unless you CID-Unlock your device first.

Thanks POF,
I was reading that now.
Hope to find a PC to first unlock and than flash my tytn.

Downgrade SPL 1.01 MFG

I downgrade SPL 1.01 MFG and the MDA VARIo 2 Cid is locked and stop the boot in welkom screen.
And I flash any rom the PC say Update error and the pda not conected the pc.But the bootloader is an USB and the ruu is verifying the pda and the 0% is stop the error.
I presume you don't do any sort of job that requires you to write.
I can't understand what the hell you're trying to say.
Review the wiki on how to flash from the MICROSD card; that always works (but of course, now that I said that, it will fail..).

Error 260

Just got Hermes vodafone with German language and successfully loaded hardspl and have it in supercid. Now i want to upgrade to english version, but i keep getting error 260. PDA stays in RGB mode and saying USB. If i disconnect the cable it switches to Serial.
I have tried to update with
vodafone 1.20.161.6 aku 2.3
vodafone 2.07.161.1 aku 3.3
htc 1.35.255.102 aku 2.3
they all report the same. Have tried rebooting computer as said in wiki, but no success.
i now use original
HERM200
ROM 1.20.126.3
RADIO 1.16.00.0
any idea?
Thanks
Are you sure it is a supercid? Write the SPL, can you boot os?
Yes, i can boot os fine.
SPL-1.40.Olipro
IPL-1.01
I did supercid procedure with success....at least i thoughts so. It's my fist upgrade, so anything is possible. I used HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a
Thanks
I have the same problem with my second-hand JASJAM. The only way I can flash ROMs on my phone is by using RUUWrapper and select force SSPL and this always works well.
COME ON people!!!
A simple search would have remedied this...its been a topic so many times now!
The reason the official RUUs wont work correctly is because of the fact that HardSPL has been loaded, hence the SPL version isnt recognised, you gotta flash the official .nbh file using CustomRUU.
But first update to the latest version of HardSPL (see the sticky thread).
When you run the customRUU program select your SPL version (or use autodetect) and off you go!.
EDIT:: to get you started, Hardspl is HERE.....flash it.
then open the RUU with winzip or winrar and copy over the .nbh file into a folder.
download CUSTOMRUU.....run it from that folder with your device synced over activesync....select your SPL and voila.
Silly fella's. Its alright though I used to make the same mistake. I think im better friends with the search feature on here than I am with my real friends. You can always rely on the the WIKI or the search.
Thanks for help mrvanx i manage to flash with no problems now.
Promise to read more wiki next time
My problem was the same described in this post (too recent SPL).
I similar problem only difference is now phone wont go out of boot mode as its not recognised by active syn or in the rom update procedure.
Please help urgently cannot restore phone...and i dont know how
If you have Hard SPl V7 installed, try to re-install the rom, or a different one using the sd card method.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into Hermies and reset into bootloader, hold power, OK button under flywheel and reset with stylus hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour (bootloader) screen.
3. Follow onscreen instructions...
Cheers...

Help please!! unbrick htc hermes

My Htc hermes phone keep turning off and on after i upgraded it to rom 3.54.07.06. that i downloaded from a thread on this site. I did the Power+OK+softrest and got the 3 color screen its shows IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.40 Oilpro . and connected to my computer but my computer isnt snycing withmy phone or anything plz help me T~T
Welcome to XDA-developers.
The Hermes has a wonderful Wiki page for unbricking a device:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
You can also try to flash from the SD Card:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
Though I'd try to upgrade the SPL(1.40) to Hard SPL V7 (2.10) first.
Try connecting the Hermes to the pc after 1st making sure to untick "Allow USB connections" in activesync, put the Hermes in bootloader and run the RUU_Wrapper.exe for Hard SPL V7. After this you should be able to use the sd card method to flash your Hermes with any rom. You used an early Hard SPL that is unsafe to try sd card flashing with... Live and learn...
Thanks very much your a life saver
i did it too
dear
yesterday i flash my hermes with hardspl v7
i get
HERM100
ipl 1.04
spl 2.10olipro
but i can"t flash original rom from sd card it only stuck at 0%
i try to unbrick my hermes because i get no radio and no gsm missing protocol and missing my imei
what kind of solution for me????
please help
SD card flash....
1. Format 2Gb or less card FAT32. Copy .nbh file onto it and rename hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow prompts...
If you are using the unaltered ROM, the radio part may take awhile to flash - DON'T RESET... This may cause irrecoverable errors in the radio rom causing you to have a permanent brick...
Cheers...
This may not work, that means you're looking at a permanent brick. You may be able to flash an OS only rom on but you won't be able to use the phone anymore.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had that problem and few more with my Hermes.
While it didn't help me, this suggestion by ultramag69 may help you...
Use the sd card method to flash a new rom, instead of a USB cable/Windows computer.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Hope this helps!
Just one other thing summoner, make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. Otherwise the ONLY rom I'd try flashing like that is the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. Its so the CID will be recognised and won't cause a brick.
rmorera84, unless you've installed Hard SPL V7 then find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM and flash that, anything else may permanently brick your Hermes.
If you have Hard SPL V7 (IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 oli) then flash what you like...
Cheers...
- Installed latested Orange rom, that I know of - SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007
- installed Hard SPL 7 & applied SIM unlock/super CID
- re-installed TNT TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
The result is:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose I should upgrading the radio rom now!?
I am told don't try fixing what isn't broken - and it is working. 3G iNet, Phone, WiFi, BT - all good atm.
Or is there a particular update I should still install?
Thanks!
SUMM0NER, you're using an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL. The Hermes is downgraded to SPL 1.40 when you sim/CID unlock your phone. Best idea would be to re-install Hard SPL V7. Its a later version that seems less prone to problems when flashing.
Go back to the Hard SPL thread and get Hard SPL V7. I had the same thing happen to me when I unlocked the Hermes, nearly cost me my handset.
The steps are unlock Hermes, Install Hard SPL then upgrade OS.
Cheers...
Do I need to re-apply the OS rom file?
I just reinstalled Hard SPL7, now shows as IPL-104, SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Thanks!
My hermes only work whit this rom:Schaps_WM6Pro_ESN_3.54b-0808_Full
Because whit any other rom they stuck at 11%.
This is the info or the phone:
IPL-1.01
Spl-1.40.Olipro
Whit the first rom the htc boot but the phone funtion don´t work.
rmorera84, refer to my last post.
SUMM0NER, no. You have loaded the os, the reason you put Hard SPL V7 is if you want to upgrade the radio rom (not a good idea unless you are experiencing problems) or wish to change the os. Just means recovery is easier than if you didn't have it.
Cheers...
Many thanks ultramag69.
rmorera84 what branding is your Hermes (ie: Orange M3100, T-Mobile Vario 2, Vodeaphone V1605 etc...)?
Can I assume your Hermes is working right now?
If it is download and install HardSPL V.7 (attached to the bottom of the first post!)
Ones done verify that it installed correctly by holding the OK & Power button and pushing reset for a sec. The screen should display the coloured bars and say towards the centre: SPL-2.10.Olipro
It´s Cingular 8525, i could install the HardSPL V.7, now what rom i can flash??
You didn't confirm if it is working right now!?
If it is not working, try one of the official WM5 Cingular roms from this list. If that worked apply HardSPL 7 and take it from there.
Ones you downloaded the Cingular rom update you will have to keep unpacking the .exe files until you come to the actual .NBH file (WinRAR works for me).
Then follow ultramag69's instructions on flashing the rom via memory card.
Works, now i have this info:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I download the official Cingular WM5 rom, but. i don´t know how install this rom by memory card, could you help me??
Excellent!
Try downgrading to the Cingular rom via USB. Just double click the EXE and follow the instructions.
To use the memory card method follow these steps...
0. unpack the .exe file containing the rom with Winrar (right-click exe then choose "Extract to...\")
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
The reason to use the memory card to upgrade a rom, rather than a usb cable, is to cut down on failed upgrades (dodgy Windows/usb port/usb cable/etc..).
All working? Try upgrading to a Hermes rom that didn't work previously.
Any rom you can find in the Hermes section. Go to the WM06 part of the forum, theres a sticky at the top with about 50 older roms and you'll find other roms there too (latest is wm6.5).
Cheers...
i install the official WM5 AT-T version the WM6 AT-T, but, i still whit the no-gsm problem, can i flash i radio? or what i can do??
You may not be able to fix this, if you know what the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM was and can find it, then flash that. It may not work, if it gets stuck at 11% - 17% mark it means the radio ROM is stuffed and the memory area is corrupted. Not fixable.
You could also try, if you know what it is, the original radio rom by itself. Again, if you can't get it to work, you have a PDA but won't work as a phone ever again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Im to having the same problem, it keeps going back to the 2.1.Olipro boot loader.
I tried the memory card option and it starts to install but then stops.
Does anyone have and sugestions?
Cheers

hello friends,
i bought a jasjam (hermes) from ebay but the device it not works. the os isn't in it. I tried to hard reset, soft reset and i try to update MDF, SPL etc. MDF is 1.01 SPF is 1.00. I cant install any os to my device. It's always giving to me an Error about connection problems. i try to use mtty and i see no bad blocks. whats the problem? and how do i use my device?

My Device is:
HERM100
IPL-1.00
HERM100 MFG
SPL-1.01
no body knows?
congrats, you bought a brick...
If you are REALLY lucky it may have Hard SPL on it. Try this...
SD card Must be 2Gb or less.
1 Format SD card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of ROM to it.
2 Rename .nbh file hermimg.nbh then put in Jasjam. Reboot to bootloader.
3 If its going to work and you have done EVERYTHING right, follow onscreen instructions.
thank you so much for your reply ultramag69 but i tryi this way. i see 1 or 2 sec. Loading... on my screen and than after its turning back to tri color screen / bootloader screen. another way?
