Hi all,
For some reason my car charger has fried the USB port on my M3100 so I can no longer charge or sync it. Orange are sending a replacement out tomorrow, but I had just upgraded the phone to the new HTC Rom. Obviously I need to get it back to being the Orange one.
As I can't do it via USB I am trying to flash the Orange ROM on using the SD method. However, when the phone resets after PWR+OK+SoftReset all I get is the tricolour screen with the following on it:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olpro
Serial
I've extracted the .nbh file from the Orange .exe and have formatted my SD card as both FAT & FAT32 in Vista but with no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance folks,
Bobby
Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card. Make sure there is NOTHING else on the card.
I've formatted the card twice and put just the renamed HERMIMG.nbh file on it but it still doesn't work. I've never had a problem with the SD slot, or the card, so I don't think it could be that.
Funny, but i remember that it did not work here too... Flash just did not start at all, even if there was HERMIMG.nbh, and it was the only file on the card... Tried both FAT32 and FAT too. Funny. It was in the case of X01HT 1.09 original bootloader, if I remember right...
Did you have any luck getting it to work? Or is it looking like I should have an unfortunate accident with some h2o before they come for it?
try doing the same with SSPL if you can't get it to work from bootloader, or try using another microSD card. Or try resetting a few times... but don't throw h2o on it!
I can't get anything to work via the miniUSB port so nothing that runs on the PC will help. I've just noticed that the tricolour screen comes on, then for a fraction of a second the screen goes grey with 'Loading No Image Found' then back to the tricolour.
The only other SD I can get my hands on is the same make as mine, so I doubt it would make any difference. And I've reset it loads of times while doing this but still nothing. I've tried sticking another nbh file on the card to see if it was just the Orange one it couldn't see, but a radio only one still didn't work.
It had all been going so well...
Hold on, I might have cracked it...
Nope, not yet. It gets as far as showing EXTROM - OK and the progress bar gets about a quarter of the way along then it seems to lock up. The bar hadn't moved for well over 10 mins, so I've soft reset it. Its has the first Orange splash screen now, but the rest is still the HTC ROM. Its a start I suppose.
Hurrah! Rejoice! Its worked, and is back to the slow old crippled Orange ROM. Thanks for your help folks, much appriciated.
Roll on tomorrow night when I get to update my new one all over again!

Hi Guys,
I am seriously hoping someone can help me out with this little issue. I'm in the Wallaby Bootloader v5.17. I have an XDA 1 and for the life of me can't seem to work out how to get out of it and back into the OS?? I have tried hard resetting it, soft resetting it only about 100 times, if I hard reset it and leave it for a minute then it won't come back on and then as soon as I put it back in the cradle the good 'ol boot loader comes back up!? I have tried holding the power button up the top of it and the pressing the soft and hard reset buttons (at different times and the same time!!)
Gone through a fair few menu's on it, ran tests, everything seems fine, just simply cannot get out of this bootloader..!??!
Any idea's?
Thanks heaps for any help in advance!
can't you do an upgrade or upgrade with same rom or maybe even try an upgrade without actual new rom present ?
I think you have to reflash xour device using sd-card. Instruction could be found here:

It would seem that you need a ROM for this to work, and that it needs to be put onto an SD card before putting it back into the PC... this would mean a couple of things, firstly that you need another SD Card reader/writery thingy .... and that you need to actually get a ROM from somewhere... Have never done this before either so I have no idea where to go looking for one!! Any help?!?
It there a combination of buttons to press just to be able to boot back into Windows CE that I haven't tried yet?
You can download a rom from the link after this text, there is no other way out of bootloader unless you have a key jammed and is causing the problem,. When you cook a rom choose sd card flashing at the base of screen, yes you will need a card reader/writer and a memory card of at least 64 megs.

This has happened before but I don't know what buttons made it happen.
My touch screen stopped responding. all other buttons work, navigates with hard buttons etc. Soft reset didn't do the trick.
I have DCD 3.2.5
Radio 3.42.40
Any idea?? Please let me know asap I need this phone to work by tonight
P.S I know a hard reset will fix it but I dont want to erase all my data. I want to exhaust other options first. thank you
just watch for what you put into ur OEM folder, i remember certain oem apps did the same to mine. after i took a lot of my oems out and cooked it again fresh (deleted the whole dcd rom folder and extracted another one from the rar/zip) it worked fine!

PROBLEM!!!!
I just did a hard reset and it still didn't work, now I'm stuck at the "tap screen to begin", and the touch screen doesn't work :/ Any ideas??????
youll have to take out any custom oems and reflash. i dont know if youll be able to get an activesync connection from that screen though. do you have an sd card?

How do I take those out?? Should I just reflash right off the bat? Yes I have an SD card and it's formatted to FAT32. Should I just put the DCD 3.2.5 rom in there and go?

just dont add any other OEM's besides what is in the kitchen......no you have to extract the signe nbh and remane it to TITAIMG.nbh then put the phone in BL and follow the on-screen prompts...
Got a screen protector?
I applied one this evening on my Wife's phone, and it wouldn't let me get past the initial setup screen either. As soon as I removed it, things worked just fine... Weird...
Mine did the same thing to me yesterday but I was running the stock ROM. I got stuck at the align screen and nothing would fix it.
Long story short - Verizon wound up giving a new out of the box unit and spb backup re-loaded everything fine.
Good Luck.
I've also had issues when trying to have a screen protector just a bit larger than the screen, and slip the edges under the bevel.
The touchscreen stopped responding.
Solution: make your screen protector a more comfortable size.
Or your problem may be software or hardware related...
Hi guys. I've been here for while and over the years i flashed my hermes with various cooked and original roms over and over again. However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.
If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.
1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow instructions.
cheers...
Still nothing...
Thanks for the reply Ultra Well i tried the Power+Ok+reset but nothing happens, the god damn green LED just stays on forever. However i can get to boot with power+the 2 quick buttons from the windows and ok. Can i get access to the SD Card from here? Havent been updated for quite a while, any particular rom you may suggest? Looking for stability, speed and cool home screen... I really apreciated your answer man, thanks
Finally the Cure!!!
It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
Need some advice here. Firstly, my usb port is broken so I am unable to connect to activesync and I am charging my battery with an external charger.
I need to get my phone back to stock so I can get it sent away for repair.
I have followed the instructions to use the SD card but when it initially turns on to bootloader it flashes up the white screen saying "loading" for like half a second then reverts back to the red, green, blue screen with serial on the bottom. I have tried 2 stock roms and now the same thing. (It has been formatted to FAT32 and tried using the phone to do it as well as the PC through a card reader)
My current SPL - 2.08 HSPL 8G XE
Radio - 2.15.50.14
ROM - HD20 (6.5.3)
I'm not sure if the above make a difference though as surely this is all replaced when you flash a stock rom.
I've been reading various posts for hours but I am at a loss now. Please help!
Kelly
What size of SD card are you using? As there is known problems with 8GB and 16GB SD cards.
Ahhh yeah 8gb...i'll look out my 2gb and try that one. Thanks for the heads up
Yaaaay you rock Thanks it's currently updating now!
Since you are doing an SD card flash. Does the SPL revert back to stock or is it still HSPL?
Having never had the need to do this, I hear reports that it flashes back to SPL and others that it doesn't.
Yup it's reverted back to stock...no trace of HSPL at all
Hey Kelly!
Just on another note... you need to get the usb port fixed to reinstall HSPL.
Currently i haven't found any method of installing HSPL via micro sd.
Looks like i'll be spending a good few hours in work soldering micro usb connectors!
my TMOUS htc hd2 screen is no longer responsive to any sort of finger movement so i want to return it because my warranty still covers it, but in order to do that i need to put it back to stock ROM, and thats not happening because i cant get bootloader to start, i get the tricolor screen and it flashes gray then it stays on the tricolor screen, even though i copied the LEOIMG.nbh into the sd card, also did a complete format for the sd card before.
i cant start bootloader.exe from the phone because the screen doesnt respond to touching, all buttons work fine but thats not enough.
any ideas on how to get around this and get bootloader to start ? im out of options here ive looked it up for hours with no solution, someone else was having a similar problem and it was fixed when he did a complete format to the sd card instead of a quick one, i did that twice already.
Is there any reason you can't connect to a computer to flash? That's the only other way I know that would let you flash another ROM.
flashing a ROM isnt the problem, because i can get the stock rom on it but i need to also take HSPL out i need the radio to be the way it was when i got it and the only way that i know of to do that is by bootloader
If you flash a stock ROM even from the computer, that will usually include a radio, so you should be ok as far as the radio. HSPL should be able to be undone from the computer as well using HSPL2/HSPL3 and choosing the normal SPL from the list.
