Dear All,
I've tried to upgrade to ROM Hermes_1.18.416.1_1.18.416.101_1.14.00.10_WWE_Ship
and unluckly cable loosen and I reset the phone.
Since it's in the middle and can't success enter the Windows Mobile,
but the bootloader was updated to 1.06.
Now I can't flash any ROM either
HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP or the new one.
The tools on "imei check" even can't recognize my phone.
Any one can help me on this issue, please?
Thanks in advance.
Try the steps here, let us know the results:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
If you don't fix it with the proposed solutions attach USB Monitor capture in text format as explained in the bootom of the page.
I have the same issue, and sent it to service, and now I have the phone back and they could not fix it, so got no radio or imei number, so none of the FAQ will work for me.
So I have an expensive paper weight.
Hi,
ME TOO!!
I recently had a power cut (yes, a lights off power cut!) that killed my PC half wat through installing the Cingular English CWS__001 1.34.502.1 09/21/06 ?? 1.16.00.00 32.53.7018.01H 14955.2.3.0 ROM onto my SPV 3100.
Now SPV 3100 will boot to the ROM I was running prior to the upgrade but I can't use the telephone. I'm also not able to rerun the upgrade as it got far enough through the process to upgrade my bootloader to 1.06 - therefor rendering me unable to load another ROM.
Before the crash I was using the Imate ROM as below and M3100 was sim unlocked and running on o2 3G
i-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 1.04
I have also tried imei without any joy.
the PDA part of my M3100 still works but the phone is dead. I have been told that if you can get the latest radio installed then you satnd a chance of the phone part working.
We need a hack to get bootloader 1.4 back on the phones.
Please help.
Thanks
My one now is a photo frame which one show "HTC" or "Windows Mobile",
at least your one is a PDA.
There are nothing in "info 2" and so nothing can be flash into it.
Is it possible to have something written CID and IMEI to phone in mtty
and let the flash rom success?
i am in the same situation like yhlee. Pof, i have reply your pm and ready to upload the result file to FTP. where should i upload to?
Thanks
oh i forgot to say, mine is even worst. as soon as i turn on the unit. it will go right into bootloader without press any button.
The USB Log is too large (around 2MB)
and can't upload, any suggestion?
Thanks.

This can be fixed by bootloader commands 'set 14 0' and 'task 8', will reboot your device and boot into OS again (but no GSM yet!)

POF, file have been uploaded, file name= rnc1688
Thanks
'set 14 0' and 'task 8' didn't work
@rnc1688: It starts the flashing process, but you get a "CID not allow (255)" error because your CID is corrupted and you are in bootloader 1.06.
Is not booting WM5 after "set 14 0" in mtty.exe? If it's not booting WM5 you'll not be able to flash bootloader 1.04 and bypass CID checking.
so i guess my unit is bricked now.
I've upload the file which named yhlee.txt.
However, I'm going to send the unit for service.
Hope they can fix.
Any way to make it show the bootloader screen on start-up
everytime?
"set 14 1" doesn't work after push the RESET button.
Thanks.
@yhlee: U're getting exactly the same error as rnc1688. Device in bootloader 1.06 which has corrupted CID, however you say you can go into OS, so it would be possible for you to downgrade the bootloader so it does not enforce CID checking.

Try "set 1e 1" and then "set 14 1", you'll boot stright into bootloader.
@rnc1688: If you want to go WM5 try this:
"set 1e 1" and then "set 14 0", you should be able to boot stright into OS.
no luck either
grrr!!!... command "set 14 [0|1]" is working fine in 1.04 here to switch boot into WM5 or boot in bootloader mode... probably different in 1.06??? I don't have a 1.06 now to test
Mine one is just showing "Windows Mobile" but stuck there,
but seems rnc1688 one is a PDA but my one is nothing.
I've sent to distributor for service.
Thanks you pof.

Let me know when they fix it... i'm curious about if they will fix it with 1.06 or they will downgrade to 1.04 first.
I got a correct message back from the service company, and they will not fix a bootloader 1.06 unless the original rom has been release with it, I was told that is HTC policy on this.

I screwed my MDA Vario II. I used HTC universal sim unlocker and I haven’t got radio. I know I was a craze.
No GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.
I vas very happy when I find this site :

The radio doesn’t work , no GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.
Please help me
Please can a expert check this!?
I found this with the search option.... can someone check this....
Its written for the Tytn and not for the Vario II, i'm not sure but i thought that the english Vario II has a 1.06 bootloader!! Then you are stuck, beacause the file who degrade your bootloader to 1.04 isnt availleble anymore. Maybe one of the guys here can share it with you?!
======================================================
- Take the battery out of your TyTN and leave it out several minutes
- Disable USB-connection in Active-Sync
- Reboot your Computer
- Replace the battery and put your TyTN in the bootloader
- Try to load the ROM found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping.exe
- Keep trying till you get just past the erasing part, then you will get an error-message and are asked to reset your device with the stylus
- Reset your phone and put it back in the bootloader mode
- Install any Hermes ROM you like, no matter what CID if you have bootloader 1.04

Can you attach a USB monitor capture of what happens when you try to:
a) flash a rom
b) flash a radio rom
Do both things starting from bootloader and with activesync disabled.

Just seen your capture but it's not good.. you made a "basic" capture which shows nothing important, please repeat the process again, but this time read point 6:
In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
I cannot help unless I have a complete capture to see the problem.

HI POF!
Thank you four your help.

Please help me. You are a last chance, for my phones.

@lacika:
When checking the seclevel (task 32 bootloader command) your phone replies:
Code:
CID: Wait interpreter timeout.
Level=FF
After that when checking the CID with 'info 2' your phone replies:
Code:
HTCS...?\0.?f..|HTCE
This should be something like T-MOB001 if you have a Vario II from UK, so the CID is screwed.
I can see from the output of 'info 3' that you're running bootloader 1.06.
Then you try to flash the 1.18.255.3 ROM from HTC, which has CID "QTEK_001", you won't be able to flash this image in your device with bootloader 1.06, even if the CID was not screwed you will always get an error (you need bootloader 1.04 to bypass CID checking, and you are in 1.06), the error you're getting from bootloader is:
Code:
CID not allow (255)
As you said you can use the PDA (WinCE boots) what I suggest is buying imei-check unlocker (you need activesync working too for running the imei-check unlocker), because it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 and patch your radio... probably it can fix your device, at least it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04. If after running the unlocker your device doesn't work I suggest that you try to flash a radio ROM, you can find them here:

Err... I forgot that your IMEI is also screewed, probably imei-check unlocker will not work on your Hermes even if you provide them the right IMEI, because it will not be able to read the IMEI from your phone (will get the wait interpreter timeout too...). anyway... it costs 20GBP, give it a try!

Hi and thanks!
I’ve got one question. I use imei-check unlocker after I’ll got 1.04 bootloader?
Lacika
I tried that with my device before it got sent to service, I brought imei-check unlocker but as my imei was also corrupt it will not work, so I would not waste GDP 20 if you have corrupt imei.
They will not refund either becuase its your problem the imei is corrupt.

No, imei-check unlocker will downgrade your bootloader, BUT as shark1 says, it will not work because your IMEI is corrupted and it will not be able to read it.
I guess the best would be to send the unit to the repair centre then...

If your device is still working ok as a PDA then hopefully it just screwed up the radio update of your device.
Try reflashing the Radio only

EDIT: Sorry only works on 1.04 bootloader only. Afraid your gonna have to wait for Pof to come up with a 1.06-1.04 workaround
Hi S.K,
Thanks for the info. I have now tried installing the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade but unfortunately the radio upgarde crashes also. It all seams to go well, (after using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice) the phone says "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait" and the progress bar appears on the PC but then after 10 mins I get an ERROR 114: RADIO ROM UPDATE ERROR.
Do you think this might be becuase the last upgarde partly installed bootloader 1.06?
Any other suggestions - I'm desperate to get the hpone on M3100 working again.
Thanks

Please post USB monitor capture, otherwise can't help u.
Hi Pof,
Thanks for the offer, I will sort out the usb software on Monday. Are there specific actions that I should try, obvioosly I will usb monior everthing I do but I want to keep it to the point and not waist yr time trailing through huge log files.
Cheers
BTW - I have tried all options of recovery, such as attempting to install the latest radio and trying to install the new rom from an sd card, trying several roms and using imei unlocker - all without any joy.
I think the problem is that I have partially installed radio and bootloader 1.06 so I can't fix the problem.
Thanks again.
@wotthefok:
For me is faster to look at the usb log file, then I exactly know why the upgrade fails, otherwise I have to decode it from your feedback and I can't be really sure. Check the "upgrading problems" page on the wiki, if none of the steps there seems to fix your problem, post USB monitor log please.
Log Files as requested
Hi,
I have captured information using usb monitor and attached the zipped log files for your attention.
The first is called USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_twice. This log details attempting to install the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade, and running it twice - just in case.
The USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_twice.zip details attempting to install the RUU_HER_Cingular_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship upgrade, simply using the standard ROMUpgradeUt.exe method. This generates the expected Vendor ID error.
My primary focus is to install the radio upgare or download my bootloader to 1.04. The PDA part of my m3100 does now freeze occasionally but at least functions whereas the phone is completely dead.
Thanks in advance.
Please attach capture in *ANSI TEXT FORMAT*, the .lgs file you zipped is totally unuseful
Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".
Also make sure you export in "COMPLETE" view, see the wiki for more details.
OK, Spot the novice.... I have now created a txt log file that captures activity of me running the 120 Radio upgarde - but only once this time. I still had to zip the file due to it's size. Hope this is OK.
I'll send the other logs within the next couple of hours. Please let me know if the output I have sent so far is acceptable?
Thanks

No, it's a "basic" capture, you have to export a "complete" capture:
Start USBMonitor.
File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish
In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
Right, Try again (duh!) OK, I've tried to keep the log files names as self-explanitory as possible... USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run1.zip is the r20 radio upgrade, 1st run and USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run2.zip the second run - without disconneting or resetting the device.
USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_ran_twice.zip is the Cingular upgrade run via the ROMUpgradeUt.exe, again run twice without disconneting the device.
Hope I got it right this time.....Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Thanks.
This time you got the captures right
- You're on bootloader 1.06: You don't have 'rtask' command, you won't be able to do any radio upgrade only.
- Your device is not CID unlocked (Security level=FF, unprivileged)
- The bad flash caused the CID area to corrupt (CID: Wait interpreter timeout)
- When flashing a full ROM you get a CID not allow (255) this is because your corrupted CID doesn't match the CID on the ROM.
The radio part is screwed, you could have fixed this if you where in bootloader 1.04 by flashing a full ROM, but as you are in 1.06 you can't because of CID checking. But you're lucky because the OS ROM is intact and you can boot the OS, you should be able to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 from OS and flash a full ROM after, which will hopefully fix your radio.
Just wait until a solution to downgrade bootloader is available (I'm working on it).
Hi,
As I suspected.... Suppose it's not all bad news though - just means that I have to be patient and use my communicator once more. Do you know if the guys at IMEI-CHECK have a downgrade solution? Even if it's a pay for option??
I have already got a IMEI-CHECK sim unlock from where I originally got the M3100 unlocked from Orange to work on o2. That said, I have run either unlocker 2 or 3 with the .unl that I know worked I now get
HTC HERMES v3c unlock
Starting communication.........
Checking device..............ERROR
The device you try to unlock is not supported.
Please contact your supplier site.

They have it (M3100v3cUnlock.exe), but it will not work on your device because your IMEI is corrupted and their unlocker will not be able to read it and to check/compare with the .unl key file.
Hi,
Just a quick update. The guys at MIGsofT LTD have VERY VERY generously said they'll have a look at the problem for me so my phone will be winging it's way to them today.
Thanks for your assistance and helping me be certain of the problem and to better understand the root cause.
Hope this information will prove useful to others.
Another quick update...
The guys at IMEI-CHECK (MIGsofT LTD) have rectified problems with my handset and managing to reinstall bootloader 1.04 in the process!!
They also turned my phone around in under three days and only charged me the cost of postage! I had previously been a customer of theirs but it was still a very generous and helpful offer and I would certainly pay for the service than have a duff handset - after all £250 + for a paperweight is rather excessive....
If you're experiencing a problem like mine why not get in touch with them and offer them money to have a look at your handset? No Guarantees but it seemed like my last chance, for a while anyway.
Praise to IMEI-CHECK for a brilliant service - they are King of the day !!
here is what I've done and what happened:
my ROM was HTC 1.18.255.3 07/22/06 with bootloader 1.04 then I ran "HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe" on the device but I didn't use "HTC_Hermes_Radio_for_SIMunlock_v1.16.00.69" to save time and i wanted a CID unlock only.
after "SUCCESS!" message from "HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe", I connected my device via USB to PC and started to upgrade to Cingular 1.31.502.1 08/30/06 with aku 2.6 and bootloader 1.06 but when I get the "ID ERROR",without disconnecting the USB, I switched back to ugrading to previous ROM HTC 1.18.255.3 and the Processe started with no problem untill 98%, then suddenly upgading interrupted a message came saying connection error or somting like that!
since then my device is stuck on windows mobile screen and I've tested solutions in the "Hermes_Upgrade Problems" page and tried using the "Hermes SD Card flashing" method, But It seems impossible to flash my phone agian.
Help me PLEASE,HELP
someone help me please!
POF can't you help me please
I think Pof is away until 3rd december, I have the similiar problems with my second hermes, if you have then use mtty to see if you have an corrupted cid using info 2.
Do you have the original rom to go back on if so that will fix your problem.
I've used mtty to send some commands to my device and it answers to some of them but It just stop responding when I type "info 2" or "info 3".
and i tried this in mtty:
"
USB>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x9FCC6BEB
SPL CRC checksum = 0x3BF03635
CE CRC checksum = 0xC0E1751A
ExtROM CRC checksum = Total Block= 1024

again It stop responding
also tried upgrading, no matter which ROM I try, it just can't connect to device.

Wrong, you also need a patched radio to CID unlock. Running only the exe file without the patched radio has no effect on the unit.

I have same exactly problem on my spv m3100: since sept06 I've tried every kind of Unlock software,upgrade ROM and method found in xda..In mtty bootloader (spl 1.04) respond at every command but not "info 2","info 3" and "task 32".Sd card method works but if you try to upgrade other ROM,in your screen "loading..." and then "checking..." hangs on because the ROM upgrade must to match CID (I suppose..).I'll wait the next ROM Upgrade and ORANGE won't release it until gen07..

it seems your problem is like mine if so, I don't think ANY normal upgrade can solve your prolem 'cause it can't connect to it.
so don't wait and send your device to service center, if you can.
I'm in your same conditions:there's no repair center here so I have to wait Orange who release a upgrade Rom (I hope asap..).
Hello everybody - can anyone help me at this moment. I am right now sitting with my Hermes connected through USB. I was flashing the standard ROM with RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP. Unfortunately it stopped at 5% some half an hour ago. I prefer to ask you before disconnecting it. Please help!!!!!!!!!
OK, having no answer I decided to disconnect it and look for an answer. Now I know that I have a 1000 USD brick and no possibility to put it back to work.
I now suspect that the upgrade did not work properly because my device had a CID lock. That is quite strange however, because I bought it on the open market without any commitment to any GSM operator.
I am now stuck on the tricolor bootloader screen with SPL 1,09.
Basing on the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285157 - especially on the lines:
"1.09
You can't downgrade to bootloader 1.04 by flashing a Shipped ROM. However imei-check.co.uk is able to downgrade the bootloader.
There was a solution posted on this forum, but it was stolen from imei-check and was removed. If you are not willing to pay you have to wait until another solution is developed.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.", despite seeing info on the website, I paid to imei-check the 20 pounds.
So far I only lost money, time and nerves trying to downgrade or "repair" my hermes. Nothing works. If anybody has any suggestions please share on the forum or PM me.
BTW I started the whole process with SPL 1,04.
Sounds to me like a flaky USB port which is why it stopped at 5%. Try another port in the rear of your PC and re-flash. Be sure to follow the mantra:
Windows XP, screensaver, powersave disabled
No other programs running.
i had a similar problem probably with the flaky usb port as Sleuth255 mentioned. trying with a different pc is another option if you have one and that was what i did with success.
im not sure about the hermes.. but i know on the wizard as long as you could get to the bootloader screen (the RGB screen) that your device isnt bricked yet.. i would follow the other suggestions about usb ports and using different pc's, i bet you can make your $1k work for you again
Try:
Go into bootloader by pressing down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom.
Make sure you have disabled the USB connection in ActiveSync, before trying to connect to the bootloader:
File --> Connection settings --> uncheck "allow USB connections"
Connect your USB-Cable
Download mtty.exe. Start it and connect to USB
When you see "USB>" Type "info 2". You should get: "HTCS" + CID + (4-byte checksum) + "HTCE". Remeber what CID you have.
Look for a Shipped ROM that matches your CID
Download and flash it using a different USB-Port or PC than the last time
Afterwards you will be able to use the file that you got from imei-check. The imei-check downgrader/unlocker only works if you've got a working operating system on your device.
After typing "info 2" in mtty.exe I get the following line
HTCSF kEŘ(HTCEUSB>
Which of those is the CID? I cannot find any matching one in the Wiki.
corrupted CID by wrong flash.
OK, I have now the confirmation of the diagnosis - as I was suspecting.
Can I now have some help in the solution?
Some people succeded with the method described as "problem 5" here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
but some others don't succeed and have a brick. Try the steps on the wiki, if you are not able to fix it this way, send it to repair centre.
Following the steps from point 5 of the given website, I only get the following lines:
USB>password 0000000000000000
HTCSPass1.CMˆËHTCEUSB>
USB>set le 1

Unfortunatelly nothing changes.

Your bootloader is 1.09 and you'll not be able to flash anything because the CID will not match. Send it to service centre.

Your phone is not trashed, but there is no rom matching your CID yet. You should have cid unlocked it before flashing a rom with BL 1.06.
Try to boot OS again using "set 14 0" (see wiki, "problem 4"), if that doesn't fix it (chances are it will not), then wait until orange releases a rom upgrade with CID "ORANG001".
I've try the procedure "Problem 4" but after "write nand success" and sr it don't start. My cid is always ORANG001 with spl-1.06

But you think that it will be available ? Thanks
Yes it will surely be released I think. But nobody knows when. Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps next year.
It bet it will be listed here when it's available.
I have upgraded my OS and EXT_ROM to the new test release.
now i have tried u[grading my radio to 1.27.
i keep getting the BOOT LOADER screen after a reset, tried taking out my batt. didn't help.
I`m now trying the radio update again.
1. should there be a problem updating to 1.27 after OS&EXT_ROM update?
2. what can i do?
flash 1.04 bootloader and it will be fixed.
Don't use 1.01 MFG to flash radios, this is a known issue
TNX, your my god
I had that same problem but I resolved it with instructions rom wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
"Problem 4: Device is stuck in bootloader mode (tri-color screen)
Disable ActiveSync: connections -- settings -- uncheck "Allow USB Connections"
Remove the battery, put it back in, connect the USB cable, power on the unit (this should allow the USB port to be opened again)
Wait a minute or two, if you get a message that device cannot be recognized just close and ignore it
Open mtty.exe and select "USB" from the dialog box, then hit Ok.
You should see a white screen, hit enter and you should see a prompt like this: "USB>"
Type set 14 0 (do not copy and paste!!!) and hit enter
Soft reset with stylus
OS ROM and radio version should be back and OS functional, the unit isn't a BRICK anymore!"
And It worked

hmm. I successfully flashed Radio 1.27 with bootloader 1.01MFG.
Should I be or should I be worried?
If it works then no worries! 1.01MFG bootloader can flash radios but its much safer with 1.04.

hi, can you send to me the radio 1.27 nb file?
thanks.
i will note that for future reference... i did flash 1.27 with 1.01 and didnt have an issue... but if i had known it caused issues i would have used 1.04... actually i wonder if thats causing a problem i have been having.. sometimes when i soft reset my phone it will only boot the the splash screen, at which point i have to put it in bootloader and just simply reset it again and then it will fully boot.. i have flashed different OS's here and there and the problem still occurs... hmm maybe i will experiment later
