I was going to update my Cingular 8525 to WM6 and in preparation for it flashed it with the latest OLIPRO V6. I got COLD FEET and instead decided to try upgrading to the HTC RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe
Apparently the OLIPRO V6 has changed it to where I can't upgrade… I get an error (206) when trying to upgrade. I lose my SYNC connection. Doing a master reset didn't do a thing and the OLIPRO V6 is still there when I check it. Can someone PLEASE give me the instructions how to get it back to NORMAL? Yes, I realize NUUBS are a real pain in the butt, but we've got to start somewhere (you were new once, too!!).
Whoever helps, MY THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Check the wiki...how to flash is inthere...important however will be what OS you computer is running...i'm sytill a nooob too and i was getting the 260 errors when i tried to flash form Vista...ended up having to use a differentset of drivers...then life was cool.
search for "HERMIMG.NBH"
There are other (better) ways too, but I don't think you're good enough to do it yourself.
I'll give you one hint... Oli 1.40 is based on 1.11. The rom you you're installing is 1.04. But, before you screw around.. Read!
I've flashed other phones to different ROMs and never had any problems. As I said, I installed the Olipro V6 as recommended to insure I wouldn't "BRICK" the phone. The phone works now, BUT I still want to upgrade to the HTC supplied "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe” and be done with it. Apparently Olipro won’t allow me to do that!!! So I need to re-install what Olipro V6 REPLACED!

I DID search and read, but I guess I either missed it or don’t understand what I’m reading! So I’m a NOOB in need of help! I guess I need to be “spoon fed” whatever it takes to het me back to an ORIGINAL CINGULAR 8525 where I can upgrade to "RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_[1].06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe” Did I get in over my head? It seems so!!! Not BRICKED, but just want to revert back to the ORIGINAL CINGULAR 8525. PLEASE can I get some help here??? THANK YOU!!!!
Use the custom RUU with the NBH file you want to upgrade.

I downloaded and tried the custom RUU, but kept getting the error message 240 file open. The phone shows "Hermes 100 FPL-101 and SPL-1.10.oli. All I want to do is to remove the SPL-1.10.oli and revert back to FPL-101 !!! I'm getting advice that either doesn't work, I can't make it work, I'm not explaining what I want to do OR... God I don't know!! Let it suffice to say I"M A LOST BALL IN TALL WEEDS folks. HELP!!!!!!
I'm so happy you're reading carefully
I'll do this once, if you can't figure it out, then, you're better off finding someone to pay to do it for you!
1) Get CustomRUU
2) Get the Cingular ROM
3) Get WinRAR
4) Extract Cingular ROM
5) Extract CustomRUU
6) Place the .nbh from Cingy ROM and CustomeRUU.exe into ONE directory--alone.
7) Run the CustomRUU.exe file
8) READ THE ****ING DIRECTIONS
That's it.
Oh, and stay away from roms that you don't want to spend the time to understand.
Many THANKS to LegolasTheElf!!! You pulled my bacon out of the fire and saved the day! I DO APPRECIATE IT!!! All is well and these 57 year old eyes are headed off to bed... Lesson Learned!

I have a new (refurb) Cingular 8525. Ihave been doing a lot of reading and research. The amount of information available here, Is damn near intimidating. The first thing I need to do is flash the radio. The shipped version is 1.16.00.00, and the signal strength is terrible. Since everyone here, sends the newbies to Mr Vanx tutorials that is where I started. I flashed to Olipro 2.10. And my bootloader confirms the flash worked. The next step is to flash the radio. But his instructions say to use autodetect. This does not work. So I went to the Olipro post for v7 and he says in his instructions that autodetect will no longer work, force SSL. But later in that thread when this question is asked, the person is told that if he knows that it is 2.10, then check that box and the one that says is it hard SPL. When I try that it warns that it is for version 1.11...etc. I would really appreciate some good advice. Thank you in advance, for reading this far.

The conflict is actually that the custom_ruu has been updated to properly auto detect. You can either A) get the new Custom_RUU (and that should work) or B) just select Oli2.10 and check the box for HardSPL and keep going.

Thank you for your prompt reply. And forgive me for questioning your advice. Is the latest radio 1.50 packaged with the latest Custom RUU? I downloaded the one from This Thread in the resources sticky. And it still could not query the device. And if I try the method you suggested it gives me the following warning:
"Please be aware that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and you MUST have 1.11 Hard-SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned files."
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I have flashed my "Wizard" literally (see my signature) hundreds of times. With only a couple of minor errors. I would like to upgrade to WM6, in the very near future. But I paid too much money to brick this sucker!! (Read: My wife would kill me!)
Anyone else have any insight to this? I'm having the same gut wrenching inhibitions about trying out the vp3g rom because of this
"Please be aware that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and you MUST have 1.11 Hard-SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned files"
error in the RUU
The RUU from that thread should autodetect, but if it isn't you may have a comm error with your USB. I am 99% sure you can just select and go, but I won't bet your Hermes on it. With HardSPL you are virtually brick-proof. If you use force SSPL, you will bypass HardSPL. I would do the following:
1. While NOT connected to USB, put the phone in bootloader mode
2. Connect the phone to the USB (this will prevent ActiveSync from hogging the port).
3. Start the RUU
4. Manually select Olipro 2.1
5. Do it.

I wish more people would post like that things would be so much easier to find, Instead we have 3 gazillion posts that say "Somebody help me please!"
The Hermes Wiki needs to be updated as the old Custom RUU is posted and Olipro new RUU is only available in the thread mentioned above. I discovered this a while back and figured it would be changed by now. Leaving the old RUU on the Wiki is problematic and causes confusion for those not in the know.
My 2 cents..
couldn't agree more.
the wiki is a compilation of a communities contributions... You can update it!!!
I try to correct anything I find!
I'd update if I knew what I was talking about! I don't have the latest version of the RUU, and probably won't for some time. This installation went perfectly for me, I don't see the need to change any time soon! But if anyone else has the info, they should deffinately update the wiki
Thank you very much! It was very helpful. I've met this problem too And now it solved.
I'm a first-time poster, long time reader. I had a G3 Wizard before and recently upgraded to a newer Wizard after the G3 fell into the bottom of a lake. I've read a lot of posts about upgrading a G4. I've only been successful a handful of times though. The only roms that have been successful with have been Wizard Love and Faria. I've CID-unlocked my G4. It's been hard-unlocked but unfortunately I don't know if that means I won't ever have to unlock it again or if it's just until i do a hard-reset. Anyways, I'm currently looking to upgrade to TNT 1921. It has a lot of the features that I'd like to have on my Wizard. I've read many posts about problems but I have yet to see my problem answered. Every time I try and upgrade, I remove my SD card and go to the Bootloader screen. I also kill wcescomm.exe. After that I simply run the RUU. I'm not sure if this is my problem or not but almost every time, I get an Error [264]. I'm totally not sure where to go after this. I've tried many things. Apparently going back to an official rom is recommended before updating. I have a Wizard from Holland so I'm not really sure which one to download. I downloaded RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship. I tried running this but it just died on me and said ERROR [300].
Here's some info that might be helpful:
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
I've tried everything guys. Updating this thing has frustrated the hell out of me and kept me up for the past couple nights. If someone could give me a detailed step-by-step instruction for updating or how to get this ROM to work for me, I would be indebted for life.
Thank you
Serge
Someone please help me. This thing is driving me insane.
You need to flash a ROM with no IPL / SPL , im also using Olip SPL and I had to use a new hacked RUU updater
So does that mean I can or can't upgrade to TNT 1933?
Is this because of the hard-unlock I did?
Yup, you can flash TNT.. Look at this topic:
Clickie
Now you have Hard SPL
You can flash the ROMs with the RUU in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU (thanks for the tip Boto).

Click Mun's RUU in that topic and use that to flash the nk.nbf file from the TNT package.. Hope it helps!

Titan bastards? Kind of rough don't you think?
I know he posted something over at PPCGeeks. He put it in the hardspl thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093
I think he means it affectionately.
Maybe we are Titan Bastards, it seems Sprint and other companies have abandoned this phone, we onlyl have a few here like Olipro, DCD and others who continue to develop this rom and make it awesome, so my thanks to them.
yeah i talked with Olipro letting him know that i packaged it and put it up in that link. Not sure yet if he will redo it and update here or what, but he generally uses those terms for his Hard-SPL users. Like his topic in irc for another device SPL "...Hard-SPL-2.60 is out now ****wits! ..."
Either way his patched SPL is working now and it's currently available, but it may be revised.
He's British right? Reminds me of a movie I just watched "This is England" where he calls one of the kids a "cheeky bastid!". BTW, just tried 2.40 right now, works wonderful.
olipro patched that bootloader fast as hell. nothing we do here would be possible without his help. thank you olipro
I am anything u want me to be OLIPRO !!! for i am a unworthy titan owner who has been blessed by all that U and others do for my less than perfect phone.
AND anyone who takes offense to being a titan bastard, can go get a IPHONE
yeah thanks for the hard work mate.

how has sprint abandoned this phone? we wouldnt even have this new rom and bootloader if the rom sprint has been working on hadnt been leaked (and after using it for 2 days i can see why it hasnt been officially released yet)
im a noob i know i know i shouldnt be doing this unless i have a good understanding which i thought i did but now i am thinking twice. I tried to intall the new unlocker 2.40, i did everything it asked of me and now its stuck in the three color screen and i have no clue how to get out of it nothing is working, Activesync wont connect. someone please help!!!!
I am in the same boat. I got to the boot loader screen no problem, I upgraded to titan_radio_3.27.00.exe no problem. I then ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe from dcd_2.0.0_beta_sprint.exe.
No errors or problems but when i rebooted it hangs onit just hangs at the "HTC smart mobility" screen.
If I tried to replace the dcd_2.0.0_beta_sprint.nbh with another .nbh could that save me?
I am able to get to the boot loader screen and have USB, but on warm or cold boot it just hangs at the "HTC smart mobility" screen.
Seems if i have boot loader access, i am not hosed.
I did run the latest unlocker Hard-SPL-MFG(2).exe
the new radio/spl is not compatible with the older roms. Something in the XIP has changed and if not present your device will hang.
are you aware of a solution?
you guys are having problems cause you did not run titanrelocker before flashing the ne stuff, or if you ran it you did it wrong.
it is imperative that you run the bat file inside of titanrelocker folder as opposed to running ruu.exe file.
for you to do that now that you are stuck ya gotta boot to bootloader mode , flash a older rom then activesynce and relock the phone the right way.
I just want to point out the fact that this is about the 4th question of the exact same nature i have answered today. I had none of these problems because i READ before i installed. none of what ive said here is news as it WAS ALL MENTIONED IN THE FIRST POST OF KMARTBURRITO'S THREAD
the moral of the story: dont friggin mess with anything if you cant be assed to read the first post of the thread of the rom you're flashing.
have a nice day
Thanks, i appreciate your comments and i thought i was understanding this.
Can you recommend a older ROM and DL location?
Also just to be sure, to re flash i would just switch the current .nbh for the older one. Correct?
As a linux admin i understand noobs on the forum. I am trying to learn I am sorry for the inconvenience. I only posted cause i am desperate and failed trying to fix on my own.

I flashed my phone awhile ago. So it was before any new hard spl.
Anybody that can upload it here or link it to here, from somewhere other than ppcgeeks? There site is down, and I'm sitting here ready to re-up the SPL to try the new dcd rom, since his 1.6.10 keeps not waking up for phone calls and SMS.
After a lot of work, experimentation and hundreds of hours of development time, AP4 is finally ready.
PK - ROM cook, and professional harasser of developers, we gave him the ROM and he chucked the crap into it.
cmonex - Special Adviser/Developer/Low-Level Hacker; when not being harassed by PK, took a few spare minutes in the day to learn C# and write a config app with Olipro in the same stretch... also saved the PDA world with revolutionary new kernel and other patches, also included in AP4.
Olipro - the Hard-SPL guy; largely considers himself to be "too good" for the menial **** and so only enjoys things such as implementing overwrite protection for SPLs with none built-in with cmonex and replacing the HTC signing certificate (oh fooking yes baby). Also found time from blowing cigar smoke in the faces of small children to write the ROM deployer.
So, Here it is:
[size=+1]AP ROM v4.0[/size]
[size=+2]Install Guide[/size]
Smartarses beware: don't try to flash from bootloader.
also, if you need the changelog, great tips and addons, then as usual, go to PK's great thread [size=+1]Athena Project 4.0 Series[/size]
P.S: yes this post has been made by OliNex, even if it is hard to believe
congrats to ap team again!! evrey1 enjoy!
Danke shoen

Unable to boot .....
I am unable to boot my AP3.0 and my SPL is v1.20 Olipro....
Any suggestions?
Fixed; currently booting AP3.0 > Fixed, now running AP4.0
Wifi not working
All,
My wifi is not working since the flash to AP 4.0.
My radio rom is 1.57.00.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
HJ
Had a successful flash.
installed Navigon
First i updated to radio 1.57 and then proceeded to install AP4.
Used my laptop, running vista home premium SP1.
Did not have to install drivers while in bootloader mode. windows never wanted any. made me a bit edgy so i let it wait 10 min. but everything went fine.
Nice and clear instructions. Kudos to the ap team
Btw everything working fine also wifi.
and installed Navigon 6.5 and its seems a bit faster now. might be my imagination, but i am happy
A big thanks!
Thanks for all the excellent work (and patience with some members of our community)!
Will give it a try and let you know.
Beautiful!
Very clear instructions, no problems with download, fast good-looking programs, no problems with connections. Kisses (and donation) to all!
my x7501 still has the standard shipped rom on it. would you guys recommend going to ap3 first, make sure it works then go to ap4, or just go straight to ap4?
i assume i have to use the old hardspl first so i can upgrade to radio 1.57 first though so i can install ap4. my current radio rom is 1.47
just need someone to give me a few clear steps on the order i should proceed with it all.
your help is appreciated

I've been through the wiki, I've search for "revert to factory rom fuze" "download factory raphael rom" etc etc etc. Why can I not find the instructions on reverting back to factory Roms? I see "where to download" them but cannot find a wiki on the procedure for warranty replacement.
I'm sure I'll get flamed but I really can't find it.

UPDATE: STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.90.0000.
that's it.

Because you got the information you needed, and because apparently you are a moron (note: I rarely accuse users of this so feel particularly special.) I am closing this thread before you do something else stupid.
Side Note: if you knew where Oli posted how to revert your rom, then why did you start a new thread for the issue. I honestly have half a mind to ban you for not reading AND then choosing to be an idiot on top of it.
