I managed to upgrade my phone to aku 3.3 using pof's method(bootloader 1.01 MFG) . Then, out of no where, I tried to use MTTY to upgrade my radio rom
It started as usual with the status bar moving. Suddenly some error messages came up.
Now, the phone is dead completely. I can''t even enter bootloader mode.
Is there a possible way that I can still save it??
Help!!!!
Have I bricked my device? Help plz

Help!!!!
I had something similiar happen a little while back. What I did was pull the battery out and leave it out for a while, maybe a few minutes. I then put the battery back in and held the two side buttons and hit the reset button to put me into bootloader mode. I then cabled it to my computer and flashed a new OS via mutty. That got my phone back and operational.
@float. Nuh, it didn't work on my brick. Prob i will have to take it back to Tmobile if they kind enough to repair the no warranty phone i bought on ebay.
Sorry to have opened a new thread, I was so desperate.
Plz delelte it.
how exactly did you try to update the radio using mtty?
I download the 1.27 shipped radio rom. P.S. It seemed to be a german version, not sure whether that caused the disaster.
Using NBHextract to get the single GSM.NB file, then in MTTY, typed
USB> task 32
USB> lnb GSM.NB
Before flashing, just had it upgraded to the HTC AKU3.3 OS rom only. The old version radio rom version before flashing was 1.18.
Maybe the order i flash is wrong. I flashed OS first then the radio rom.
just guessing
ok, you loaded the radio rom code where os.nb should go. That may have caused mega bad blocks in flash. Can you even get bootloader mode if you reset using Wiki directions to obtain Tri-color bootloader?
Yes. I have tried many ways wiki suggests. Such as removing the battery leaving it more than half an hour and plugging it to the usb cable without battery. still can't get to the tri-color bootloader mode. Basically, I just can't turn on the phone.
If you connect it to the computer, can it communicate w/the PC? If you hear the windows tones try opening up mtty and see if you can communicate.
i'm stuck in the same place
for me it happened during extrom flash
Try removing the battery for a bit (a few minutes, maybe half an hour). Then, put the battery back in but don't plug the usb cable in. After that, hold the two side buttons as if you're trying to get it to go into the bootloader. Hit the reset button a few times with your stylus and see if that gets you to the bootloader. That's what worked for me.
tried that
tried removing battery and connecting usb
nothing helps
is there a place that fixes tytn in belgium ?

Hi guys, I have some experience with rom flashing, and I did it today as usual - flashed HTC 1.35 ... Update stopped at 1%. I tried everything I could to finish the update (It wasn't my first time ). Now, after restart TyTn is flashing with LCD (black & white) & camera led. I can't do anything, even turn it off. Seems like a problem with bootloader. What should I try before i send it for repairing? Do you have any experience with T-Mobile UK? I'm the legal owner of PDA, but I don't have any receipt. Should I contact seller (ebayer) or post it to T-Mob straight away?
Thanks in advance, Jack.
Anyone please?
Check out the wiki for Tytn upgrade problems
I also had this problem, upgrade stopped at 1%....Left it for an hour and no progress. Had to stop update, which then left me at the boot loader screen (tri-color) screen. Tried Hard reset as mentioned above, no luck, still stuck in boot loader, tried to reload rom..got error 262 upgrade error
I had just run the unlocker and set device to super CID, and thought maybe that was my problem, but it wasn't
Luckily the wiki had the answer
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!
I had to reload the rom. step 8 did nothing, but return me to bootloader. This time the rom upgrade took about 45 minutes to complete. Weird, but it worked...This is first time in at least 4 rom upgrades with this device and at least 50 other rom upgrades that I ever encountered any issues.
POF...Thanks for the great wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=HTC_Hermes
Unfortunately, when it hanged on 1% connection was totally lost. Everytime I tried to run rom upgrade/unlocker/spl downgrader is said no connection. Now I don't have bootloader screen, only flashing LCD & camera diode. Any suggestions?
If you can't get the bootloader running then a service center will be the only solution I think.
Has anybody found the solution to this problem, my phone is doing the same thing. Can't get it into bootloader and screen & camera flash just blinks? I tried everything but to no avail.
Hi mate, have you done anything special or it goes bricked "without help"? I I still haven't put it to RMA because there's no T-Mobile in Republic of Ireland and I'm 2 lazy to go to Belfast

It's bricked trying to update it!!! If i could just get it to the bootloader, i can probably revive it but can't do anything. Can't access USB or nothing, I'll guess I'll send it off to a repair center.
Are there any good repair centers in the US???
Hey everyone,
i am so upset and lost; words cannot describe it.
So i installed WM6 black shadow and everything was working except for SMS and MMS. So i am like ok i can live with that for a day till custel' rom will come out. SO i decided to upgrade the radio to 1.43 and boom here is where the problem started, No GSM on boot up. Phone doesn't boot up. I tried install 1.40 over again, still nothing. No i tried upgrade the the rom itself, i tired custel 2.5 and nothing and i tried the new Cingular rom, still same problem. the roms flash all the way. I read the wiki, and saw the mtty.exe thing but that doesn't work for me either. I am really lost and don't know what to do.
Specs
cingular 8525
hardspl v7 cid and sim unlocked.
PLEASE HELP
4.13?? 4.10??
Where did you download these radios from??
or do you mean 1.41 or 1.43??
Yeah thats what i meant, 1.40 and 1.43 sorry. You can see how upset i am.
Thanks Again
Well, if your phone turnes on .. it's not a brick.. lol .. it IS fixable... When you turn the phone on does it go RIGHT to the 3 colored screen?

I read everything there and nothing seems to be working for me. I woudnt post for nothing. i dont want to be annoying.
OK im going to repost what ive said on 4wm:
We need to check if your Radio BL is functional, firstly leave HardSPL v7 on there and connect to the bootloader via mtty (il assume you know how to do this).
Issue the following commands and tell us the results please:
1) checkimage (this shows the CRC checksums of each component...id expect the radio image to show a timeout....
2) info 2 (This will verify that your CID is intact)
3) info 8 (does a bad block check)
Once youve done this, flash SPL 1.10.oli to the device and once again connect up to mtty.
4) 'rtask a' this will enter the radio bootloader you will see "Enter Radio Bootloader" or something to that effect
from now on when you type the text does NOT appear on the mtty screen.
5) 'rversion' this should return your radio bootloader version...now unfortunatly if you see nothing...you radio BL is dead and sorry your device is royally bricked. If you get something returned back onto the screen (most probably containing the text '0108') then your radio BL is fine.

I cant falsh spl 1.10 oli. it gives me the 260 error.
the 260 error is not connected via USB right? .. weird... have you tried taking your battery out for a couple minutes, then booting into BL mode? sounds weird but this worked for me when I didnt flash hardSPL firsl..
hey mrvanx's
I can't downgrade the hardspl to 1.10, anyhelp.
I cant active sync, the phone doesnt boot up.
Is there anyway to aviod having to respond on the phone.
hey,
i can get the phone to boot up into windows and then it freezes within a couple min. what should i do. Still no gsm message and no phone. thanks
Dan
OK, so let's try and get you to a working state - I've bricked mine a couple of times and it can be quite heart-stopping, eh?
The first thing I would do is re-download radio 1.43, just incase your current one is damaged somehow.
Secondly, download Black Shadow - I know it's not the ROM you ultimately want but the aim here is to get you working again and we can move forward from there.
First, boot up into BootLoader mode (hold down the OK button on the left side of the phone and the power button and then press the reset button on the bottom, just in case you didn't know
You should come to the three colour screen and it should be reading IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.Olipro. If it isn't, stop here and post what it does say.
If it everything is OK at this point, when you plug your phone into your computer, it should change to USB at the bottom. Just wait for the Found New Hardware prompts to clear on your PC and then flash the black rom - choose the hardspl option in the flash program.
Once that has finished and it is at the "tap screen to set up windows..." bit, put it back into bootloader mode as above and flash the radio.
This should hopefully give you a running phone again as I know this combination works OK as I am currently using it.
Fingers crossed, don't panic, and let us know what the results are
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Nothing is working, can some please help me. Is there anyt way i can restore the spl to the original one so i can send the phone back, i just got it like 2 weeks ago. thanks
Also i have a bad block thats what i think makes the phone freeze after i boot it up.
How can i get around this, thats seems to be the biggest problem.
Hey everyone, let me give you more info.
I can fully flash any rom and and radio,
phone will boot up like 1 out of 10 times and then freezes and thats it.
i have a bad block number 6. I have hard spl v7 installed before the phone got screwed up. I cant downgrader the spl to a lower one to check if radio stack is screwed up. Can someone please help me, if you need to ask me more info feel free.

First of all, its not bricked. Bricked = doesn't turn on, nothing, blank screen.
I've looked to your info, you already have HardSPL, so you can flash directly using any RUU, don't use shelltools!
Enter bootloader (hold camera+reset), open up the RUU of the ROM you want (make sure it doesn't have any IPL/SPL) and flash away
well I looked all day what to do and I can not find solution
I just can not understand how to flash the phone
I found one solution via some kind of Wizard_love, but again I do not know what to do
Please help i am haveing the same thing just did it today i have the Cingular 8125....i have held camera+reset and got into these Red,Green,Blue,white screen and it says IPL 2.25 and SPL 2.25 now when i run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID it does not work i have my usb pluged in and my phone says USB please help

Ok, Used SoftSPL and tried flashing the ROM. It manages to get to 99% and then just goes RED. I have tried 3 different ROMS and same story it goes RED at 99%.
When i remove the battery, it goes to the RUU Red, Green and Blue screen. SPL version is 2.16.0001. Not Oli's new one.
What do i do from now?

Soft SPL only allows you ONE update, so phone is CID unlocked only when Soft SPL is loaded.
It's normal for the RUU to stick on 99 % for a couple of minutes, The whole update will take aprox 10 minutes.
You can try the hard SPL from there you are semi-permanently CID unlocked.
Good luck,

I have just tried flashing WM6 on to a Friends QTEK 8500, it went wrong Doh!!!.
I had already last Friday put on it the version with non wroking GPRS and this went without issue. I then reflashed my own one with a GRPS working version (went without a problem) and then tried his. I can get it into the boot loader screen but nothing else. I have tried SD card flashing (3 cards) 1x 512MB Card and 2 x 2GB card all formatted as FAT32 with file on the root the phone searches for it but doesnt find it.
Please any advise.

Have you made SuperCID before flashing? What firmware are you trying to flash via bootloader mode?

When you get into bootloader screen by pressing RECORD and CAMERA buttons, then you MUST flash back to the STOCK ROM first. You can't flash any custom WM6 at this point. Only AFTER you have the stock ROM flashed, you can use SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe to app unlock the phone, and copy the SoftSPL into the phone. Then run SPL.lnk.
To summarize: The built-in bootloader CANNOT flash WM6 and can ONLY flash a stock ROM. Once you go back to stock, you can then try to flash WM6 again. Anytime a flash fails, you must go back to stock first, then try again.

I have two phones one did work and one did not the one that worked shows version 1.02 on the tri colour screen the one I am having problems with shows 3.06 not sure if this is relevant.
Try removing the battery for about 30-seconds (or just removing the battery cover) and then put it back on. With the phone OFF, hold RECORD and CAMERA and plug in the USB while holding those buttons. It should go to the Bootloader. Run the QTEK RUU immediately after doing that.
If you sit at bootloader very long (more than a minute or so), for some reason it times out and the RUU won't work. It could be that's what's happening.

Tried that a couple of times just to make sure I was doing it correctly it goes into the tri colour screen I pressed the reflash option on the PC 1 second later this then sits there for a minute or so and times out "ERROR [260]" the phone did come on and has a USB in the bottom left corner so I presume the connection to the PC is OK.
I have just re-done mine again using the NEO rom (very nice) to make sure I am not going mad and that I did it correctly and this all went without a hitch.
Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot of a SPL on an SD Card I think if I could do this then I could get it back to 5 and start again.
No, it will only boot off the built-in SPL in ROM.
Did you try using the OEM .nbh file, naming it STARIMG.nbh and putting it on the SD card?

Yes tried that made sure formatted FAT32 etc. I know the SD card is ok because if I take my working phone and run the SPL link with the card in my good phone it finds the file and asks me if i want to reflash it. The non working phone with SPL3.06 does not do this.
You are not alone.
The bad news - the person in the post ended up having to exchange the phone.
It could be there's a bug in 3.06 SPL? Seems to be the case because I've flashed bad ROMs many dozens of times on my Cingular 3125 StarTrek and not once did I have any trouble flashing OEM ROM back on it.
Can I write the flash at a lower level with any tools i.e. pdocwrite or seomthing like that?
I don't believe so. Those programs require an Activesync connection (copies files to the phone). You could try the MTTY method, but I don't know if that works on StarTrek. I think it's some kind of terminal access into the bootloader, but what I've said so far is the extent of my knowledge about it.

I have a similar problem on a 3125 and the phone reports V4.01. I acquired the phone in this condition, so don't know how that came to be. When I try to update via USB, it tells me I need a newer update tool (to match the 4.01, I assume). What error message are you getting when you try to update via USB?
I have been struggling to flash (again) the great pro V2 rom, but I always used my VMWare based XP windows version on my Vista laptop. Today I could use a genuine XP Laptop and I could make a connection and start the upgrade!
Sounds good? That's what I thought too, until the upgrade stopped at 70% (and I didn't touch anything), because of a connection error. I followed the text on my PC screen and I finally it started flashing again for a few seconds and then my startrek suddenly restarted, but it stops at the first splash screen! I tried to get my device back to bootloader mode (push 2 soft buttons and start), but no bootloader mode, only the 1st splash.
I solved the problem.
Thank you for this thread
I tried flashing a new ROM to my i-mate smartflip and thought I had killed it, but going back to the wm5 OEM as suggested on this thread worked and I still have my phone. Now, am I brave enough to try upgrading it to wm6.1 (or even 6.5) again... Once again, many thanks!
somebody can me give the oem rom because i am same problem too on the secreen 3.06 i cant flashing anytihing rom somebody must me help
After I microSD flashed my phone it said "update successful" I followed the directions on the wiki and did a soft reset. The phone returned back to the tri-color bootloader screen. Did I do something wrong or is the phone messed up beyond fixing?
I just flashed it again via microSD and it says:
Update Completed
UPDATE SUCCESS
Now if I try to soft reset it jumps back to the colored screen.
The screen says:
HERMIMG.nbh-ok
IPL-OK
BOOTLOADER-ok
SPLASH1-ok
SPLASH2-ok
EXTROM-ok
GSM-ok
OS-ok
Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS
THen after I did a hard reset it went back to the tri-color screen.
after flash just do soft reset. stylus in bottom of phone. Doing a hard reset seems to do BAD things...
reflash to OEM rom..
did you HardSPL? ..
Thanks guys. I did try doing a soft reset, same thing. I dont know if the previous owner did HardSPL. He was a friend of a friend and gave it to me for free. When I got it, it was stuck on the bootloader screen. I asked if he tried to flash it and he said no. My computer doesnt recognize it and my work computer same thing. Could the USB port on the phone be damaged? I flashed it with WM6 off the wiki and PDAcorner. Same thing. Loaded then after I soft reset it goes to bootloader screen.

Have you tried flashing a shipped rom with USB while on bootloader screen, plug in to PC and just run the exe file? report back? Check your serial against here for known problems.
Neither my home computer or work computer detects the phone when I plug it into a USB port. I have tried a 3 different cords and it still doesnt show up as a device.
Whats the SPL on bootloader screen. If its 2.10 olipro it has hard SPL installed...

Ooops I didnt mean to make 2 threads about the same problem. Yeah it says 2.10 olipro but still jumps back to bootloader screen after a flash.

Checked my serial number (HT652) and there's no known problems on the wiki for this model. Tried to plug it into the PC but it cant connect. Tried two different PCs and updated Activesynch. Nothing. I am beginning to think that this phone is just dead period or the previous owner dropped it and messed it up.
UPDATE:
I flashed a shipped ROM from the wiki and it did the same thing. Loaded, said it was updated and when I did a soft reset it popped back to the bootloader screen. Should I let the battery drain and try again tomorrow?
No need to let the battery drain, take the battery out for about 20 seconds and put it back in, then turn the device back on. I had this problem once and that solved it. If your device can't connect to the computer you may have to flash via storage card.
I tried flashing it a few times with a storage card. It loads then after a soft reset goes back to bootloader screen.
Just to double check, under the battery should be a sticker with some info on it.
Should be imei and voltage etc... Does it have anywhere herm***? The *'s are for a number - 100,200 or 300. If it doesn't say herm*** then you are on the wrong forum. There are so many different names for the Hermes that I thought it may be an idea to check as flashing the wrong SPL will DEFINATELY brick your device and it seems to have been Hard SPLed. The os should be flashed fine but as MrVanx says you may have some bad blocks if you are sure you have a hermes.
Cheers...

Yes it says HERM100. Also, the person that gave it to me said he might have been pushing the power button while he was putting the battery in. Would that brick it? Another thing, does the battery every run out? I left it on bootloader all night and its still on!
This isnt my exact phone but this is what my screen looks like and what it says.
