Hi Guys,
My first post for a while, and a slight tale of woe... I've got a second Hermes, a Vodafone v1605 variant, and I was carrying out the ROM upgrade to the latest HTC ROM like I did with Hermes no.1, firstly I flashed the hacked Radio ROM and then applied HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_V2a, all ran successfully with no issues...
When I attempted to run the ROM upgrade, an error occurred at about 8% complete, and since then, all attempts to re-flash the ROM have failed. I've done extensive reading of posts on XDA-Developers, and tried all the suggestions on the Wiki so far with no luck, all I get is Error [294] Invalid Vender....
Using MTTY and running info 2, I don't get a CID returned at all.... I'm attaching a trace file from USB monitor in the hopes that someone may be able to help!
Cheers,
Jim

Hi there,
I tried upgrading my HTC TyTN to the latest rom from South Africa available on this forum: RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.
After 3% upgrading it said the progress failed and it needed to repair something. Then it told me to remove the battery for 3 secs, and put it back in. It comes back to the bootloader and stucks here.
When I try to upgrade over again, it says Vender ID error. It stays at the bootloader no matter what I do, and it keeps saying Vender ID error...
Any help please?
Thanks in advance!
Dennis
Do you have bootloader 1.04?
bootloader
It says IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.09...
its DEFINATLY a HTC TyTN yer?
HTC TyTN
Yes it is.
I think its time to ask a Hermes Guru.....anyone??
Im guessing it might involve manually flashing a ROM using the command line over USB?!?
Relax dude the guys on here will sort it.

Hi,
I've had a good search and can't find any info and have been pointed in this direction for advise.
I've got a spv m3100 and wanted to upgrade to black 3.0.1. I've followed the details given by MrVanx and installed hardSpl 2.10.Olipro first. I checked that this has installed using the ok, start and reset combo. (the installation did seem to be quick thoughm took about 2 secs from the screen on the phone changing to install being complete).
Then wanted to install the latest radio version and this is where the problems started, I ran the .exe making sure the other file was located in the correct directory and that the phone was sync'ed. I got a message saying that could'nt contact the phone and then the following message
Error, unknown version! you should pick sspl
This also happened when trying to install black 3.0.1.
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I bought the handset from Ebay and have unlocked it and installed hardspl 2.10 and thats it.
I also want to change the flash load screen to get rid of the orange display as I will be using O2 sim.
Once again, I thnak you in advance for any help.
James
You need to choose force using sspl, you will be ok as you have hardspl 2.10 installed so you should not brick it as you have some protection, it is just that autodetect is not recognising the rom version already installed. Try the rom upgrade first. You need to refer to mrvanx guide as this explains how to change your splash screen to a custom version, post back if all was ok
EDIT:- Black 3.5 is now available!

Thanks BOZ.
I appreciate your response, So I should attempt the black ROM upgrade before the Radio using force SPLL?
I won't now be able to try this until at least next week so I'll have to wait before I can report if all works. Thanks again for your advise. Its all new to me and I'm learning from helpful people like yourself. I've been really lucky that I've found a couple of forums with very helpful members that are happy to advise and assist.
Thanks Again.

You've got it, cheers boz.
If its any help - I had the exact same problem with "unknown version" error. Before I upgraded, I did a hard reset on the M3100 - not necessary I know but I felt happier.
As I had already installed the HardSPL 2.10 Olipro - I simply chose the option:
SPL-2.02/2.10 New Bootloader (rather than 'AutoDetect')
on the RUUWrapper - Hermes ROM Upgrade opening screen and upgraded as per mrvanx instructions (as this offered good protection from bricking my phone)
Upgrade went fine and its fast and so far stable.
Incidentally, I didn't change the radio version, as by all accounts 1.38 is a better version.
Hello All,
Very new to your this board. I've been reading through instructions on how to unlock CID on my pda (Dopod 838, SPL 1.03, IPL 1.03), my phone is currently unlocked but the CID is locked. I need flash another rom because PDA is currently in Chinese. In regards to HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a, my activesynch connections keeps disappearing during upgrade using my PC. I tried running it from my device; copied SSPL-HERMES.exe unto my device but it won't run on it no matter how many times I click or even reset my PDA. My active synch also gets lost during Hard SPL. I have literally been reading HTC boards for the past 3 days, and I have no luck. I see a couple of people had similar problems but I still can't get past mine. Is there some critical step I'm missing? I'm sorry if this has been rehashed over and over again. I don't know what else to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Problem solved
Update -
Duh! I'm in the wrong thread. I should be in wizard thread. Just flashed my phone with singh mobile 6. Perfect!!! Great Board!!! Sorry for posting on wrong thread.
Hey guys.
Yes, I'm new here, but not new to phones or computers by any means - trust me.
In any case, what happened was I downloaded the XDA Live version of Windows Mobile 6 for my Hermes (originally Rogers branded) and installed it.
Then, I discovered the actual forum here, and saw Schaps' version of WM6 pro and I want that badly. Regardless of which version I'm trying to upgrade to, I get the same issue.
Here it is:
When I connect the phone normally with ActiveSync and try to upgrade to Schaps' ROM (or Dutty's, or the official one, or the T-Mobile one, or the Qtek one, anything), I get a 260 error saying that my USB cable isn't properly connected. Now I've seen and tried the fixes for that error with no luck. The other error I occasionally get is one saying that my device code isn't correct or something or other. And another one is that my image file is corrupt and that I should check my update utility.
What do I do?
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. My bootloader version is 1.11 (I think) as per the following screen during bootloader:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
(The following part is in yellow below the above part)
HERM200
IPL-1.11
I had the same problem.
I then upgraded the boot loader with hard-SPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Now it's working fine and I can load any ROM.
Cheers
Pat
I successfully upgraded to SPL-1.10, with the same result (no change).
I'm really unsure of what's going on with this...but I really need to upgrade to Schaps' TouchFLO ROM - and should be able to easily...
When you upgrade the rom, chose hard-spl (safe).
Good luck

Hello, I am in serious trouble! I got a brand new HTC Athena with Windows Mobile 5.0. I succesfully upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.0.
All was OK.
Than I was interested to move into Windows Mobile 6.1 and possibly 6.5. At first I did the Athena unlock (3 step process) and all went OK: Antenna 1.5.0, SPL 1.2 OLI....
THAN I DID MY ERROR! I try to upgrade my 6.0 ROM with the Micky 6.1 cooked file with SPL 3.5. After a 92 percent upgrade, the ROM crashed and now I always get a nasty black screen with few lines (No 3 color bands!). When I try to upgrade again the same ROM or ROM for SPL 1.2 I get an error (ID mismatching). I guess the only solution is a hard and full reset of the Windows. But doing only a hard reset with the PDA will NOT change my error message and I will keep see this nasty black screen and I cannot load the Windows ActiveSync application-
I am totally lost. Help please. Any tool for a true full restore/recover??? (I did NOT make any backup!).
This thread might hold a solution to your problem.

Hello, those links are basically for corrupted wifi antenna files.-
In my case my HTC Athena crashed the Windows 6 ROM while I was attempting to upgrade, after unlocking the phone, the Athena from version 6.0 to version 6.1
Are you sure I can use the post #33 also for my specific trouble?
Thank you in advance!
this is also to repair your bootloader-infos
if you look at your bootloaderscreen, you will see ATHE100, IPL, ATHE100, SPL. if not, you have to repair it
make sure you flashed the right rom, spl 1 or 3.5
How can the bootloader get repaired?
yes use that link, post #33. fixes both wifi and modelid problems and bootloader problems when you got stuck at 92% of the flashing process.
Cannot re flash ROM
Please help! I tried the unlocker and it failed at 92% and since then I have no WM6. Then I tried to flash the Michy WM6.5 and that failed. I was getting model id errors so I did the mtty and mac1 fix which was succesful. However all I can get now is a grey screen on boot-up. I can get to the bootloader screen and it displays ATHE100, IPL-v2.02, ATHE100, SPL-v1.20. Olipro. From what I have read on the forum at this stage I should run a RUU to flash a WM6 ROM but all that I try can't connect because no OS running to connect with Activesync? Is there a way to flash from the bootloader? The other option seems to be putting an image and flasher on a miniSD but I can't find clear instructions for this or which files?
Please ignore - my battery wasn't charged enough. Replaced battery and recovered device.
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
I have follow the link (thread 33)...., however, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......
However, after I have disconnected the usb cable of the Athena from the PC and try to reboot it, I got again the exact same, nasty, dark screen with blue strips.....:-( It means that my damaged firmware has NOT been fix and in fact I am still NOT able to boot WM successfully!
PLEASE HELP. It is 3 months with this problem and I cannot use my device.:-(
Still Major Problem! Help me! Have mercy!
Hello Responderman, all,
first, how can I get the mac address of my device? It is NOT written anywhere in the Athena parts (checked in the battery bay and so on.....), and so when I run mtty i am in trouble! I have used a mac address got from my company's manager, but not sure it is ok to use it with the Athena!
Anyway,......I have follow the post link (thread 33)...., and followed the various steps.- However, after I have typed lnbs filename.bin 75108000 (I have SPL 1.2), I got in mtty the "code entrypoint unknown" message, which should be ok......

Can you tell what you've actually done after you've changed ROM with Mtty?
I done the thing with Mtty but just as you described when I reset it now I still get the grey screen. And if I try to update ROM it fails again on 92%
where did you find the upgrade from wm5 to wm6?
the link I found on rapidshare seems not be availabel anymore
