Hi all,
I have a Dopod 838 Pro (HERMES). I successfully flashed to XDA Live 0.10, and all was working fine.
I then unlocked and write-enabled the Ext_Rom and tried to install an app in there (PTravelAlarm). The install hang at about 90%, and had to soft-reset.
Since then, it fails to boot, hanging at the HTC logo screen. I can also boot into bootloader.
I tried several times to perform another flash of XDA Live, and also older ROMS but they all fail with "error 262 - update error"
I then managed to flash the original ROM that was shipped with the model, the flash finished successfully and now it hangs on the Windows Mobile logo.
How can I have my phone back? I can boot into bootloader but none of the RUU update progs are able to flash while in bootloader?
Can somebody please help?
Many thanks
Chris

Hey Chris, I Pm'd you already. Anyhow, I was wondering if you're familiar with using mtty. Let me know!
Hi TaurusBullba
and thanks for the PM and reply.
Yes I know how to use mtty and used the "set 14 0" but no change.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
Chris

Well, I'm not sure what the "14 0" part is . BUT, what bl do you have and do you have an extracted os.nb using nbhextract that you're trying to flash?
i have bl 1.09.
no I dont have an extracted os.nb
do I need one?

Hmm... I'm not 100% positive if the 1.09 is going to be a problem here. But what you need to do first is to throw nbhextract.exe and and the nbh file (from whatever rom you want) into the root of c:\. Then open a dos prompt go to c:\ and type:
nbhextract "RUU_signed.nbh" -v
(be sure to leave out the quotes, and the file "RUU_signed.nbh" may be different from the nbh in the rom you choose)
That will put an "*.nb" into your c drive.
Any of this sound familiar yet?
Okay, so now you have your os.nb file.
Now, right click your ActiveSync icon and choose to disable your USB connection there.
Put your os.nb file in the same directory as mtty and connect your phone via usb to your computer.
Now get into your bootloader on the phone.
Open mtty up, choose your usb connection in the "ports" dropdown and hit "ok".
In the new window, hit "enter" a couple times to take you to the "USB>" prompt.
Now type these commands"
USB> task 32
USB> task 28
USB> lnb OS.nb
USB> task 28
USB> task 8
And that should do it! Well, that is if I didn't miss anything...
can i use any RUU_signed.nbh ?

Sure, as long as it's for the Hermes.
the extracted os.nb is actually named 06_os.nb

Yeah, replace "os.nb" with "06_os.nb". Or you can always rename it to whatever you want.
on the "lnb 06_OS.nb" it gives "command erro!!!"

No, once you do the first 2 lines, you don't need to repeat them.
Are you sure you're SuperCID? What ipl and spl do you have?
edit: Also, are you running XP or Vista?
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.09
I am supercid for sure (tested within mtty)
win XP sp2

i was wondering how do you flash Dopod2-fullromupdate.txt.gz file on the xda ftp, i downloaded it and it unzips as a txt file, is it just a rom dump or is it a full rom file? I did a search and could not find anything.
This is just a txt file containing a USB dump, I did some time ago to see the bootloader commands sent by the RUU to the device...
The shipped upgrades are on the wiki:

well for me its a screen of death i tried everthing looked at all the releated posts and nothing works, i think my radio is corrupted, there must be a way to fix it but i don't have a clue.
mtty.exe
is there a command in mtty.exe to totally wipe the device of all info so a fresh rom can be loaded?
If you are stuck on bootloader, to boot the OS again you just need to connect to the bootloader using mtty.exe and type the commands "set 14 0" and "task 8".
Why do you think your radio is corrupted? did you try to unlock your device with universal unlocker? if you did, follow this instructions:
1) Try flashing a new ROM using the 'HERMIMG.nbh' SD card method:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
(Note that NBH file _must_ match your CID).
If this doesn't work, try to flash a radio only upgrade:

Hope that helps

Ok... now this is going to be a work in progress and an answer to most questions...
To all pof, Des and Sleuth have done a great job in getting the tools together so we can flash our devices...
1. To all who want to SuperCID your device no matter what ROM version you have and no matter what Radio BootLoader version you have you can use POF's version 3 unlocker found here http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
2. Once you have SuperCID your device you can now load extracted ExtRom, OS, and radio roms (radio can only be done if you have radio bootloader 107 or less) to do this goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
3. For all of those not interested in ROM cooking and flashing cooked ExtROM's all you need to use is des's SSPL tool... just copy it onto your device and run it... the SPL version should say SPL-1.09.des. The tool can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
4. Just to clarify... once you have flashed radio bootloader 108 onto your device it is possible to do Extracted Radio only upgrades please read edit 3 below..... to check what radio bootloader version a radio rom has goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms and radio only upgraded require SPL 1.04... for instructions on how to flash that goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
5. if your device is unusable please refer to here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
appologies for all the links but thats what the wiki is for guys... lots of reading but it is all worth while in the end...
and if ive missed anything feel free to add...
edit 1... The reason you SuperCID your device is to enable flashing of any SPL Bootloader versions, extracted OS roms, extracted ExtROM's and to an extent Radio ROM's (only if your device has RadioBootloader 107 or less).... but SuperCIDing your device voids the warranty... if your just looking to upgrade your device to a newer ROM and are worried about the warranty just use des's SSPL tool... read point 3 above...
edit 2... the SSPL tool... you need to copy this onto your device while windows mobile is running... if your device is not in a usable state refer to point 5... once its finished copying click on the exe and run it... it will put your device into a 'Service' mode and with bootloader versions IPL-SSPL by Des and SPL-1.09.ds... all you need to do now is choose which shipped original rom you want to use to flash your device with... see here for options http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
edit 3... now who wants the good news woo hoo!!!! i have managed to create an unsigned nbh file and flash it onto my device... now please all follow these details step by step
1. download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294046
2. download the appropriate Full Shipped ROM from either the Trinity or the Hermes of which you want to rip the Radio from
3. download this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH
4. extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from the exe using winrar or something
5. open a command prompt and point it to the same folder where you extracted the files you downloaded..
6. run nbhextract to extract the radio rom... delete all other .nb files except for 05_GSM.nb
7. edit the text file for nbhgen and delete all information except for this
HERM100
SuperCID
1.23.707.6
USA
300,05_GSM.nb
8. run nbhgen.. this will generate the nbh file required to flash your device...
9. copy SSPL to your device.. refer to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
10. execute SSPL on your device which will put you into the 'Service' mode,
11. now run the RomUpgradeUT.exe file... and your done!!!!!!!! any questions just ask...

Hello all,
I am a little confused about the issue of going back to BL 0107 if you flash Radio 1.33 + or Rom (say) 2.05 because you end up with BL 0108.
Isn't it true if you use Des's SSPL tool you can flash any ROM, so you can flash an older ROM, then you end up with older OS, Radio and Extended ROM as well as IPL and SPL??
Also if you use Boot loader 1.01 MFG, then upgrade individual components using MTTY??
With the latest developments over the past few days, it looks like Hermes is now an open field where one can try whatever combination as long as you can boot into service mode or Windows.
I would appreciate a comment from the developers confirming or explaining the current limitations.
Simple.
Please Answer if you are sure
Look !
my tytn have bootloader 1.09 and during upgrade it stopped , that is to say my phone das no OS so I cannot pass "WIndows Mobile " Screen unless I upgrade fully upgrade rom . I have read and tried all suggested ways but they are not useful , because bootloader 1.09 checks CID but my CID is corrupted .
I need a way to pass CID check same as SSPL . but I cannot copy any thing to phone . The only way which can help me , is a file which able to pass phone's CID check from PC .

ok now you have to open an mtty session... download this ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Cooked_ROMs/SPL-1.01MFG_Pack.zip
1. Disable 'Allow USB Connections' in Activesync
2. Open mtty.exe
3. type \\.\WCEUSBSH001 in the port section and click ok
4. press 'Enter' twice and type task 32 and press enter
4. type info 2 and tell me what is displayed...
What about writing an app which fully identifies all Hermes specs? It should open a message box and answer whether device is SuperCID, which IPL, SPL, RBL, ROM, Radio and if readable which ExtROM. Wouldn't that be nice? Every noob could give all the information viable for all others to help.
well if the user was to go and look at the device information application in 'Settings' > System then can find out what radio rom version they have when in turn if they look at the table in the wiki they can tell what version of Radio Bootloader they have... but i will investigate writing a little app... shouldnt be too hard...

Just to be clear:
Can you put the new "RUU_signed.nbh" from step 8 above back into the full RUU....._ship.exe using Winrar and run it that way too?
This is very cool! So we can change to any radio ROM (upgrade or downgrade), but technically we will still have radio BL 108, but who cares.

Hi Walshieau,
After I follow your edit 3 step, when I try to upgrade the radio,
it shown Error 262. What's that error message for?
Thanks
did you copy SSPL to your device and run it before you started the upgrade???
Am I right in thinking I could mix and match all the components with this tool?
I.E. extract the o.s. from one full update then extract the radio from another, then use "NBF generator" to merge them and flash them all at once?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=LatestUpgradeGuide_11_Mar_2007
i am following that guide...
# Step 7: Open a command/DOS prompt and navigate to the NBHextract folder in the DOS prompt. Then type NBHextract.exe RUU_signed.nbh and press enter. Your folder should look like this
i just did that step, first of off, the file is called RUU_UNsigned.nbh, not signed, on 1.38...so i went on dos and i did that step...but then i look at my folder, my folder does not look like the one the guide shows
http://www.ajmal.ramjaun.talktalk.net/nbhextract.JPG
all it has is nbhextract RUU_unsigned.nbh and 00_gsm
Step 8: Delete 00_IPL.nb, 01_SPL.nb and RUU_signed.nbh from that folder.
i cant do that step because i do not have those files...what do i do? do i just keep going
Whoa... if all you are trying to do is flash a new radio to your Hermes, you're way off course and heading straight for brick city.
STOP now and read more (a lot more) prior to proceeding.

problem with radio rom 1.38.00.10
I've flashed my Trion with the ROMUpgradeUt.exe after my Trion was in the Bootloader Mode. Then I got the [Error] 262 Code after 22%.
Now I cant start my phone. It ends with the Startscreen with the O2 Logo where "No gsm" stands.
I've discribed the problem more detailed here: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=107174
Thanks for your help
please help me!
A quick google search on the board returns THESE RESULTS. Or you could look at the spl downgrade guide HERE.
I'm having trouble downgrading too.
Following mrvanx's guide, I downgraded to Hard SPL 1.10 with no problem. But when I try to downgrade to either 1.04 or 1.06, I lose the ActiveSync connection, the phone never enters bootloader, and I get an error message from the RUU saying that the connection was lost.
After several hours trying everything I can think of, I'm officially stuck.
Any thoughts?
I had same problem yesterday. In CustomRUU you need to set Unsafe SPL it is the only solution for downgrading SPL. ATT: SPL 1.04.nbh

Thanks! That did the trick!

I got a HTC Touch Diamond 2, and it works on that...
Hi, I'm trying to flash a Radio for the first time (I'm following the "Definitive guide" to run Andriod), and have already installed HSPL.
When I run the Custom RUU, with either Radio version provided, I get to the progress bar, and it stays at 0% for 5-6 minutes, then I get an error, and some recovery steps.
What could cause the Radio not to be flashed? I ran the program as Admin (win 7) and have renamed the .nbh file to "RUU_signed".

when you installed hspl i suspect you (like hundreds of others) chose the wrong option in the dropdown and actually installed a stock spl.
Go into bootloader, , next to spl does it end '.0000'? it should end '.hspl'
run it again and make sure the hspl you choose doesnt end 0000
oh and you dont need to rename the .nbh file for customruu to work.
Yes, it was a "0000" thanks for the quick response
no worries.
