A new bootloader version for HTC Hermes devices is available on XDA-Developers (thanks 300logic!). This is a very special bootloader version 1.01 MFG which allows to flash unsigned code, meaning that ROM cooking should now be possible on the Hermes
Warning to those who don't know what you're doing. Don't to be tempted to attempt this for now.
To flash BootLoader 1.01 MFG your DEVICE MUST BE SuperCID first: If you don't have a SuperCID device, this is not useful to you.
* It makes possible flashing custom splash screens
* It makes possible flashing separate ROM parts (only OS, only ExtROM, etc...)
* It makes possible radio upgrade only
* It makes possible flashing roms in NBF format (not tested yet.. research needed)
* It makes possible flashing cooked OS.nb: RESEARCH TO BE DONE IN THIS, AND FULL CAUTION ADVISED
Instructions on how to use this bootloader version have been posted in the wiki:

Could we 'upgrade' this preproduction bootloader to version 1.10 for example?!?
Thanks Pof for the Wiki and thanks 300logic for provide the bootloader
Please, I some questions;
- is now possible to flash a dumped ROM? If yes, How?
- Is possible to get a backup copy of the actual splash screens before changing it?
Thank you.

You can go from 1.01MFG to 1.09 with 'lnb', and you would to any version too...

First you have to convert the dumped ROM to OS.nb format of the Hermes... something which will require quite some time until someone can figure out. See here if you are interested.

Take a shipped ROM from your vendor, and extract the splash screen with NBHextract.

Put hermes in KITL mode (comm manager + power + softreset) and connect to it with Platform Builder. I can't help you more, because I don't have PB.
Thank you very much, bootloader downgrade from 1.09 to 1.01 MFG now.
cool
you are very cool
pof (maybe we should call u prof.)
as u have mentioned, after flash to bootloader 1.01 can revert to SPL 1.04.
is it possible to re-flash SPL 1.06 which i've extracted from Dopod newer ROM?
[just need advise from an expert before my hermes die ]
Why would you want 1.06 over 1.04?
@hang.tuah: yes, it is possible... but I have the same question as ionide... why 1.06?? it does not offer any good over 1.04, just has downsides and annoyances

correct. it requires to be able to flash the radio stack in order to unlock it, but the radio stack of that new rom seems to be read only and flashing another radio stack is not possible at this time.
I could not find in google as well but get somewhere else with slighly different filename. Not sure the same one or not. Can somebody please confirm,

It's possible.
Hello I'm french, first sorry for my bad english.
I just bought a V1605 from england that I have immediatly unlocked.
I have tested French qtek ROM 1.18.256... but it's very slow and there are many bugs, after that I have tested a WWE qtek ROM 1.18.416... with bootloader 1.06 just for see if TCPMP was better and it is!
But I wanted the last Qtek ROM, so I have put the original ROM of my vodafone in order to downgrade bootloader to 1.04, it's very simple!
Then I've installed the latest QTEK ROM 1.35 with bootloader 1.09, and now after few very fast manipulations , I have bootloader 1.04 and radio 1.20.
So I can test every ROMs I think...
For the moment, I can see that this ROM (1.35) is very fast, and TCPMP works better but for the video it is the same than vodafone 1.20 or tytn 1.18.416 .

1.04 to current boot rom?
After downgrading to 1.04 and doing all the upgrades, is there any reason to reupgrade 1.04 to a more current boot rom?
hi there,
seems i`m not able to downgrade after after flashing the 1.35 rom. my bootloader remains 1.09 and the downgrade_spl (1.8mb rar) tool doesn`t work properly. i always have to recover my device when i try to run the upgrade. is there something i do wrong or is my downgrade_spl the wrong one?
thanks jammerlappen

Just want to summerize the situation for existing 1.09 owner of X01HT, the current state of the unlocking process is follows:
1) Unlock 1.09 can ONLY be done by imei-check (GBP $20)
2) After unlocked, your device will be SUPER-CID
3) Then it can be flashed BL MFG 1.01 in order to upgrade BL to 1.09 for
upgrading the radio rom (currently only radio ver. 1.27 can be flashed)
OR if you dun need the phone function, just want to use PDA instead BUT want to use your desire language rom (Chinese, French etc.....)
1) You need this software "DownGrade_SPL.rar" to downgrade your BL to
1.04 in order for you to be able to flash other language OS.
2) "DownGrade_SPL.rar" can be found on the search engine like google or
china search engine like baidu.com.......
Hope this help
Thank you mj13,this helps.I wonder if there is a future plan for free unlocker.
It's a bit better than this.
With SuperCID & 1.01MFG BL you can easily go to 1.04 BL. Instructions on this are in the Wiki and the 1.04BL itself is included in the 1.01MFG bl download.
The bootleg 1.04bl downgrade solution is no longer required!
or... If you're more technically inclined you can flash using 1.01MFG bootloader...
you can extract os.nb from the rom of your choice using pof's nbhextract tool then just flash it directly using the "lnb" command in the 1.01MFG bootloader. Instead of 30 minutes, this will take < 5 minutes.
While you're at it, change your splash screens too
May I ask one thing? If I already in 1.04. Could I use the unlock from IMEI directly?? Furthermore, I can' input chinese. Are your PPC OK?
Is after # 2 enough to unlock the X01HT Post December release?

#2 is unlocking the phone, but if you need to upgrade the radio version, it is better to do the #3 process as MFG 1.01 let you just upgrade the BL itself instead of FULL ROM upgrade. Of course, if you are satisfy with your current radio version, #2 will be just fine.

Guys, how do I dump the SPL, IPL, Bootloader, radio ROM and Radio bootloader version?
I will use the unlocker to unlock the TYTN but then I want to roll back to the default version numbers that I have. I dont want it to stay with the HardSPL or with the newer Radio.
Thanks
Have you ever try to use the search function first? ...or just read the Wiki?...here are the how to...but next time read the wiki first!
Regards,
Primoz
Guys, it starting to get boring.
On every question asked, you send to RTFM.
Maybe, just MAYBE, I already READ everything and I STILL (!!!) have a question? Maybe I'm not as stupid as you think? Maybe the guides are NOT (?!?!!) 100% perfect?
To the subject; I did dumo the ROM. However, as I understand (FROM the guide), it DID NOT dump the SPL and the radio (or the bootloader and the Radio bootloader).
Please confirm that it DID extract everything and that if I'll burn it back to the device it will be 100% the same as it now.
Also, if I first use the unlocker, and then burn back the original radio, will it get locked again?

You don't need to dump that, every version is available as a shipped upgrade so you can extract it from there and flash it later if you need it for warranty reasons.

Most probably your rom is available as a shipped NBH, just flashing it will lead your device to the original rom. The only thing you can't do is go from htc_boot 0108 to htc_boot 0106, so make sure you don't upgrade to a very new radio if you want to be able to go back to your original radio if it has a 0106 radio bootloader.

POF, you are THE GOD!!! Thanks, finally someone HELPS!!
Ok, here are the clarifications:
1. How do I check the htc_boot version? I have the 106 SPL so I can’t launch the Radio loader from there....
2. If I dumped only the OS part I guess I should dump the rest too. How do I do that and how do I make the "burnable" afterwards?
3. Here is the current "setup":
The device is Orange branded. It’s exactly as described under "Hermes versions" in Wiki for Orange-Israel:
Israel Versions
HERM200 Orange IL HTC TyTN Israel QWERTY Locked OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0) 1.18.255.3 07/22/06 WWE 1.18.255.112 1.03.03.10 32.34.7010.01H
The SPL is 1.06 and IPL is 1.01. I have no idea how to check the HTC_BOOT version.
There is an Orange boot logo.
Guess that is. Thanks once again

You should use a SPL based on 1.01 or 1.04 to use 'rtask' and access the radio, you can either flash it or use SSPL to load the NB without flashing. Anyway you don't need to do that, radio 1.03.03.10 has htc_boot 0106.

A full shipped NBH consists on 7 parts: IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, Radio, ExtROM and OS.
See the hermes shipped upgrades wiki page. Use nbhextract to separate the NBH into rom parts.
Download any orange ROM to get your MainSplash.nb & SubSplash.nb (boot logo as you say).
Download any rom with IPL-1.01 & SPL-1.06 to get IPL.nb & SPL.nb
Download any rom with radio 1.03.03.10 to get GSM.nb
Unhide your ExtROM to get the files in Extended ROM, then create ExtROM.nb using ExtROM image editor.
Reconstruct the OS.nb using the instructions on wiki (see trinity wiki also)
Finally, create a NBH using nbhgen, and package it with CustomRUU to be able to flash it pushing SSPL.
Make sure you don't upgrade to any radio with htc_boot 0108, otherwise you'll never be able to flash your original radio again.
Hope it's clear
Thanks POF. PERFECT!!!!
Maybe a Wiki should be made for this as I notice alot of people asking on how to go back to the original state of their device?
tnx in advance

I have SPL - 2.10 Olipro. I am trying the various Boot Roms starting from 1.41 backwards as someone recommended in some other thread.
But I need to run SSPL before or I get an Error why does that happen why can't the SSPL of the ROM upgrade check and do the needful.
Secondly I want to revert back to SPL-1.04 or 1.09 is it possible. If yes please tell me how. If it is detailed in some other thread please tell me the thread details and oblige.

Hi & welcome!
Ok..understand your problem and this is your first post and maybe you thought, "aah nice forum, He WM6 that looks nice, lets flash it on my device" ..Right simple ah? But..what you forgot..is to backup or read more about flashing..You cant reset it back to the original (what you wanna call it) "firmware"...

Well, this is not EXACTLY correct. Check out THIS LINK for downgrade directions. You will need to get the original ROM from somewhere. It is possible that it is HERE IN THE WIKI. Chances are that one of the files there has the same Radio, IPL & SPL. You will just need to find the OS, if it is not in there. (In fact, based on the specs, it looks like the third from the bottom of the English ones - Vodafone?) To flash, you will need dutty's good nbh tool to unpack the ROM, becuase you will need to do the IPL and SPL separately from the OS and radio. See THIS LINK for that info. If you don't want to get into all the unpacking, you *could* do the SPL downgrade first, then the upgrade, but it is generally good practice to downgrade SPL as a LAST step since you lose the hardspl protection as soon as you do it. Finally, use the google search link in my signature if you need to find anything else. Good luck.

Like Todd said it is possible.
Check out the links in my signature and read alot before actually doing so.....
That is a practice tip
The Mr VanX guide alias HTC Hermes guide has complete steps to do this!
Good Luck
Ok, tell me if i correctly understand..
I found the correct rom, after i have to unpack this rom with dutty's good nbh tool..(i have to remove Ipl & Spl?).
After the unpack i have to pack again the rom without ipl and spl and flash it in my Herm??!!is it correct? And in the end i have to change ipl and spl(is it a down grade?).
Last questions yet,
What i have to verify first that i start all this work on my herm to not brick my Herm?
Thank you to all again for the help that you are giving to me
All the best
I may have made it more complicated. That is the process I use.
Best thing to do is simply follow Mrvanx guides.
First downgrade the OS/Radio using THIS GUIDE
Then downgrade SPL/IPL using THIS GUIDE
That is all - as long as you have HardSPL, it is VERY hard to brick your device. So, do that last.
Is possible to flash only the rom i need following the guide, and leave my device with the current hardspl ipl and spl?
Thank you

Yes. The only reason to remove HardSPL is for warranty. Just for clarification, there is no Hard IPL, only Hard SPL, but I know what you mean.
Basically, 99% of the time most of us flash we are only flashing OS or Radio. SPL and IPL don't change often. Most cooked ROMs are released as OS only.
Ah ok perfect, i'm not interested to the device warranty, because i bought it on ebay from Uk, and there is no warranty on my device, so i can only flash os without ipl and spl..
Thank you very much fo all the help

Hey boy,
sorry for the up, but i have another question(s)
I have downloaded the rom that i need, but it is in .exe extension how can i extract from this .exe the .nbh file that i will decompile with dutty's???
2nd question, it's possible to downgrade radio rom? i put radio 1.51.00.10 in my device,but i didn't like it, because the 1.47 version
that i had was better of 1.51
Thank you for help

No worries.
To unpack the exe, just use winrar and open it up. You will get a RUU_signed.nbh and an RUU. Just use the nbh file with the custom_ruu.
Yes, you can downgrade radio to 1.47 safely. No worries. I tried 1.51 too - didn't work out for me either. back to 1.50 for me.

Todd, thanks very much, i didn't know that with winrar was possible to unpack an .exe file,now i have all i need to flash my device with the hold or the new vodafone uk rom.
Tnx my friend
I have done the flashing, it works perfect.. now i learn the way, i can flash every kind of Os in my tytn following this way?for example o2(Uk) os can be put in my device?
Where here in xda forum can i find the software(for eample the software that shaps have included in his Os) for my device customization?like today home,weather widget, or the automatic operator configurator etc etc?
Tnx todd
Hello
I would like to try some custom ROMs, but since my Touch Pro already had some problems with the stylus sensor, I don't want to lose the warranty. I dumped the ROM and splash screen, but I have some older SPL version -1.69.0000. Is there a way to extract SPL? I can't find it anywhere
Thanks in advance.

You will have to get the shipped ROM by your carrier and dump the SPL from there. You can't dump your SPL from the Image on your device.
Thanks
Dave
If you will find some solution, please post it here
I have the same problem. Thanks
It would be helpfull if you mentioned your carrier and whether its a TP or fuze. Its easy to get the spl if you know which rom came on the device.
its mda vario iv (branded htc by t-mobile).
i've found something:
Code:
SPL dump for raphael:
pmemdump 0x88000000 0x80000 spl.bin
Will be this useful? Or is there any other way?

The reconstruction process can be done only for the OS part...
You can't extract the radio or SPL from the device, you need a shipped ROM to get this two parts.
Cheers.

You can only get spl if there is a shipped version of that rom.
Open about in settings and tell me what it says. Then hold down volume and reset. It will bring up the tricolor screen. Post what both of them say.

There is a German T-Mobile ROM on the Wiki with 1.69 as the version. Download it and use NBHExtract to Dump the SPL from it.

I am from Slovakia, and language of whole OS is english.
Is it ok?

It appears the one in the wiki is a reconstruction and does not contain spl
You should be able to use HaRET to dump SPL from RAM at runtime. SPL is at physical address 0.
With RAM protection implemented in Diamond/Raphael/Kovsky/Blackstone it is quite unlikely that SPL in RAM will be different from SPL in NAND, however still possible. Since there's no SPL 1.69 in circulation, you can't verify how accurate the RAM dump is. Someone could dump a known SPL version this way and then confirm the files are identical when extracted from .nbh and dumped from RAM.
One more question... probably stupid one...
I downloaded this german rom, but I don't know howto extract spl from it.
I know with nbhextract, but how exactly?
Can somebody help me? Thank you

Is the one you extracted an official rom or the rebuild from the wiki?
The one in the wiki does not have the spl in it.
Ah I thought tha roms on wiki are shipped one...
So still no 1.69 spl??
Stock SPL 1.69.0000
For all guys looking for stock SPL 1.69.0000, here is one i have already extracted from czech T-Mobile ROM. So we have done one thing Another things to do is to make one single NBH file with stock SPL and one NBH file with OS, Splashes and stock Radio without SPL. That is what i have not understand yet very well, but i got kitchen and i want to flash new ROM early
Thanks for the SPL - same as on my UK T-Mobile Vario IV.
Now i can restore to factory settings - time to play!
Stock SPL not changing version numbers
I've tried searching the whole net already but I couldn't find it.
Something screwed in my screen and I want to turn it in for warrenty.
Now I restored my ROM/Radio already but when I try to restore Stock SPL (doing it when in USB mode) and it goes to 100% in a few secs it still says 1.90 Olinex.
Anyone got a solution for that?
Kind regards,
Kenny
