Hey, first post here. I've tried searching for people with similar issues but I couldn't find anyone. I got my Cingular 8525 yesterday and I am trying to upgrade to WM6. I followed the guide on flashing it to Hard SPL v6, since I have SPL- 1.06 and I can't seem to get past the screen where I have to choose which bootloader version I have. Mine is not listed on there, and it won't even let me choose some of the other options. I can only check "Is this Hard-SPL?" and the "Force Ussing SPL" option. I thought about upgrading to SPL1.04 then to 1.4, but I am not sure as I don't want to brick my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks. Sorry if this has been covered once again, but Ive been looking for about 2 days and can't seem to find it.
Here is part of a guide written by Mrvanx. Following the guide is highly recommended. You should use the sspl option. It will load SSPL by Des which will in turn load Hard SPL V6 to your device. Good luck flashing!
The autodetect button didn't work for you??? You should be able to use the Force option to upgrade to oli's SPL and you should have no problem. If you're unsure, follow this guide: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/HardSPL.html
Also, there's lots of great info here in general: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/
Thank you. The version I was looking at www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/black/HardSPL.html
told me something else. Thanks for your input. I'll flash it right away.

good stuff....what flavour of WM6 and which radio??
Newest Radio 138.00.10.. and of course I had to go with Black 2.0... Just the issue on roaming right now... came across it on here before, so i'll figure it out...
Okay.. well now I that it's all flashed i connected to the internet, but i can't send MMS. I tried putting back the factory settings listed here
https://www.cingular.com/support/setupOTW.do
but Black 2.0 doesn't seem to have a media net button and it won't send any mms.. any suggestions. I think I might have to downgrade back to WM5 get used to it and then possible come back to WM6... thanks.

Forget the settings on cingulars website, they assume you are running a cingular rom.
Search the wiki page and there will be a .cab file to install the settings.
Either that or enter them manually. There are plenty of users running Black 2.0 on cingular

What happened when you tried to flash back to the original bootloader (relocker)?
Wait.. so if I have Olipro 2.4 and want to go back to 2.xx based roms I can run Olipro 1.2 to downgrade? OR: Do i first need to relock, then patch with 1.2, then reflash to 2.xx rom?

Try running the relocker and then running the old unlocker (the 1.xx, not the 2.40) available in the thread pointed to in Geckotech's first post in this thread; it should work without the need to reflash the ROM. If you get stuck in the bootloader, run the exit-bl.exe.
Yesterday I got frustrated as well. I ran the re-locker and called VZW and worked out every issue until my phone worked perfectly.
THEN I flashed to the 2.4 bootloader, flashed the unauth'ed Sprint 3.16 Sprint ROM (and since I have Verizon I made sure it did not let it boot up and run the customizations), then I loaded my cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
All is well and working great now. YEAH!!

The unlocker that Geckotek's post pointed to is in a zip file. You need to use an unzipper to extract the .exe file, then you can run it.
If you do not have an unzipper, look for pkZip, Winzip, IZArc, or 7-Zip. There are others, but these names came to mind.
edit: When you originally installed your first custom ROM, how did you unlock the phone? That unlocker, if it is still on your computer, should work again after you relock.

I tried it,it worked,thank you.
that link to the prior forum topic only lets me have 1.10 from the download. or is 1.2 buried a little further in? Thanks!
whoa, you got your power button to start working again? How did you do that exactly? Was it just the .Net 3.5 update? I find it so annoying that my power button doesn't work. I have to have S2U2 come up when i hit the power button just so the phone will wake up when i hit it again.
I have some questions, and yes, I am slightly new to the HTC Hermes, so cut me alittle slack.
I have purchased a unlocked AT&T 8525(herm100), with a cooked rom for WM6.1. While it looks great, it seems to make the phone function slower, compared to the one I used with WM05 on it.
I would really like to make the device operate and respond much like WM05 did. Is this at all possible with WM6 or 6.1? Or would I be better off going back to WM05(if thats possible now)? If I should need to go back to WM05, is it possible to cook a rom, and remove and add things that I would want?
Throw me some Idea's here, I'm open to anything.
if you want fast just get a superstorage rom, those roms are faster than the original WM5 shipping rom
superstorage rom? Do explain please. Is it WM6.1? Where would I get it? is it hosted on the FTP? Also, could you point me in the direction for instructions on how to flash the device?
Do a search for hermes roms. There are a lot of good roms from faria, pays, schapps, tnt, PDAViet...... The list goes on..... They range from wm06 to wm6.1. I'm using Pdaviet 6.1 version 19213. It was just release but is REALLY quick. I suggest you read the threads to determine which is good for you as it is as personel a choice as what clothes you like...
As for how to upgrade, !st do some reading... It's recommended to flash Hard SPL onto your phone as it makes it easier to recover IF/WHEN something goes wrong. Check out this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Also, use the search function to find out "how to upgrade rom". There are some good tutorials by MrVanx and a lot of information on the wiki..
PLEAE READ A BIT BEFORE FLASHING... and make sure you only use a hermes rom.
Happy Flashing & welcome....
One more question. By flashing this, will it stay unlocked? and i keep seeing HTC TyTN(Herm627) for the roms for PDAviet. same with others, is this the one im wanting?

I just found out the firmware ID that is already on my phone.
ROM version: Faria.R-32
ROM date: 11/6/07
Radio version: 1.54.07.00
Protocol ver.: 32.86u.7020.23H
ExtROM ver.: BIGSTORAGE
This firmware just seems really slow. Im looking at trying one of these listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380433
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364031
Obviously this is a cooked rom. I don't know how it was flashed, and it may have HardSPL on it already. Will it harm anything if I install HardSPL 2.10 to my phone?
I've also read somewhere that the 1.47 radio firmware has better connectivity and battery life. Is this true, and would it increase my signal any? I get little to no signal in my house, but my wife's Razr gets 2-3 bars constantly, and we both have T-Mobile.
1st, go to bootloader(hold down power button, OK button above flywheel and then use stylus to soft reset. keep all three buttons pushed in until the tricolour screen comes up.) This will tell you IPL & SPL.
Pays is very good if a little older now and s64's rom is also good (but packed with 3rd party apps that SLOWWWEEED things down a bit to much for my liking).
Both good.
The rom you are using now is a bit newer. It should be fairly good too. I personally prefer PDAViets roms which are REALLY fast and pretty stable(ver 129400, 129701, 129900 and 129213.). Its really up to you though as your preferences may be at odds with mine.
As for the radio rom, This is the most "dangerous" part of the firmware flash with most bricks happening because of problems happening while being flashed. If you want to go ahead and flash this make sure its not gonna be a repeat performance. Find out what radio works best in your area & flash once. I would SERIOUSLY recommend the sd method to flash this. Read up on this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462

At the risk of blowing my own horn, try my ROMs out. You can chose between bleeding edge (the development thread) or tried and tested (the stable thread).
They both come with minimal applications to be like a usable phone, but giving you the flexibility to do whatever you want with the device afterwards.
nice. looks like its
Code:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I do have one more question. I downloaded PAYS rom. It came with an EXE(RUUWrapper.exe and RUU_signed.nbh), it looks exactly like the HardSPL, do I just run that and it flash it? Or do I still have to go through all the other steps on the Wiki page for flashing the Hermes?
After installing HardSPL, connect your device up with ActiveSync, then run RUU_Wrapper.exe.
Follow the prompts.
CRC's are good... Like them....
According to you information about the bootloader it seems you are already set to push any Hermes ROM in your device
Hi there everyone.
I have just bought a new HTC Cingular 8525 but it is running windows mobile 5. I would like to upgrade but I cannot find any downloads or instructions on how to do so. I do not want to brick up my new phone. Does anybody know a download link to upgrade to the latest windows mobile version that will work on my phone. Its an american bought phone which is unlocked and I am using it in the UK on Three. It used to be locked to at&t and I am pretty sure much of the at&t rubbish is slowing my memory and speed of the unit. If I were to upgrade will the phone still be unlocked?
Rom version is 2.15.502.3
Rom date is 04/09/07
Radio version is 1.40.30.00
Protocol version is 32.73.7020.16H
Operating system is (build 15706.3.5.2)
I am all new to this and would appreciate any advice idiot proof I have flashed many PSPs and other things but nothing like this.
As I have just got the phone I am still trying to work out how to use it so I have no idea how to do a Hard or Soft reset and have no idea about the roms
Sorry to waste your time
Please help
Rob
You should read through the Hermes wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Make sure you install hardspl! If you install the "official" AT&T WM6 install hardspl again, your phone will stay unlocked, even with custom roms. If you flash one of the big storage roms, then go to try another, flash the "official" rom before flashing another custom rom.
Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I would also suggest making sure your phone is "super cid" before flashing custom roms, you'll also be able to flash from an sd card if you are super cid.
Read a bunch before flashing any radio roms!!!
Read, read, and re-read before you flash, and you should be fine. They have made the process fairly straight forward, but you can never be too sure. I have never "bricked" my phone, and I jumped in with both feet!
Mustn't flash a lot then because if you did you will end up with a brick sometime... I've always been able to recover my Hermes but there is STILL the possibility it won't.... one day...

I guess I have been lucky, but I'm sure I haven't flashed as much as others on here. But, I tried to follow the wiki, and tried to learn from others mistakes before I made some of my own. So, I figure if I can flash my Hermes, others should be able to do the same. And I have read up on the issues for when you "brick it", just in case.
I flashed several roms from the beginning (when I got my hermes), and learned a bunch. Then found what I needed/wanted in a rom, and spent days and days and days reading through many threads to find ones that fit me. I actually tried not to flash too much, but that can be a hard temptation to overcome.
So, just trying to pass on what has worked for me, to avoid the hard resets and such.
I would like to attempt cooking my own rom, and have read through tons of info on it, and played with some kitchens. Still working on learning that stuff, it'll give you a good appreciation of what the chefs around here do.

It tells you how to Hard SPL your Hermes with the sd card method. It also gives you ALL the apps needed.
After you Hard SPL your phone you can use the sd card method to flash a new OS. Flashing a new OS though requires you to drop steps 5 & 6 (you don't need sspl.exe once you have Hard SPL). Just remember though that the bootloader won't recognize any sd card bigger than 2gb...
Cheers...
Thanks for that. Its just now I have a problem where my phone is stuck on the Tri-Colour screen
Did you format the sd card fat32 (they are default format FAT) and rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh"?
Is the sd card 2Gb or less?
You're on bootloader, is your SPL 1.09 des? If yes then insert the sd card and reset.
Cheers...
it might be an issue with activesync
i read somewhere before that activesync 6.1 won't sync with WM6 on vista machines.
I had to downgrade mine to ActiveSync 6.0 to get mine working again.
just an idea that might work
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...
i tried to decrypt it for finding information about my model, but the only information i can get is the day of production by the first few numbers and letters :/

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

Use SSPL and it will install your Custom or Stock ROM without any problem.
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=260802&d=1261873816

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9HDHTMW
Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

Downloading ...
looks like I am also stuck on bootloader with SPl 3.03,nothing I did helped so far,I had HSPL3,my stock Rom was 166.707.
any help is greatly appreciated.
OlDirty89 said:
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..

Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
