I have been using my Hermes for about 2 months and have been reading this forum keenly about upgrading the firmware.
I am getting ready to try my first upgrade and I understand the risks involved in flashing the ROM and thus want to proceed cautiously.
I have successfuly upgraded to HardSPL 2.10 Olipro this morning and want to upgrade the main ROM now.
Reading Mrvanx's "Downgrading to WM5" guide, I noticed one has to downgrade the bootloader to 1.11 Olipro for some WM5 ROMs.
Have I understood this correctly this downgrading the bootloader is ONLY for keeping the warranty - and if I don't care about the warranty, I can downgrade from the WM6 ROM to WM5 ROM and keep SPL 2.10 Olipro?
thanks!

I have searched and tried to find this answer, but now I am more confused... So please be gentle with the flaming.
I have an unlocked Cingular 8525. I down graded to bootloader 1.04 using Cingular ROM 1.30.502.1 and SUCCESSFULLY made my device superCID according to the detail direction in the wiki. THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
My confusion comes with the fact that I want to have newest OEM ROM from Cingular, 1.34.502.1, but I also want to upgrade the radio version... But when I upgrade to the newer 1.34.502.1 ROM, I get bootloader 1.06... BUT I read that I need bootloader 1.04 to change the radioROM... But as far I read, I would have to go back down to the earlier 1.30.502.1 ROM.
QUESTION:
How do I keep bootloader 1.04 with upgrading back to ROM 1.34.502.1, so I can have the newer ROM and be able to upgrade my RadioROM also?
Thanks
Ron

Downgrade then install the 1.01MFG bootloader. After that extract the OS from the NBH of the ROM you want and flash it. You can then keep 1.01MFG bootloader or change it back to 1.04. Its all in the wiki.

Ahhh... thanks for the push in the right direction!

Couldn't you just upgrade the Radio and the Extended Rom and still have the old boot loader?
Wouldn't this provide the same end result?

I had the EXACT same question...It turns out that you can upgrade the radio with the German version since your device is SuperCID. So I was able to upgrade to radio 1.27 with BL 1.06
..... and then....
I learned about the 1.01MFG wiki ... and I followed the instructions and was able to (first) flash 1.01MFG and (second) flash BL 1.04... so now I have 1.34 ROM, 1.27 Radio and 1.04 BL...
It took alot of reading and questions for me to figure it out....I hope my pain is your gain.
Im not concerned bout getting the original radio but just want to go back to the original rom. I have installed LVSW's version of WM6 and is running into some things that I rather not mess with as far as bugs and all. Now can I just DL the ROm and be straight TIA
I assume you havent read my WM5 Downgrade guide then?

Thanks for the tip. I'll get to reading some more. Appreciate it.
I did one recently using the most recent AT&T WM5 version. Using SSPL to downgrade, I was also able to change IPL/SPL back to stock versions.
Total Downgrade from WM6 to WM5
Sleuth255,
Just wanted to ensure I understood your process in downgrading from a WM6 rom to a WM5 rom.
Scenario: I am currently using Custel's 2.5(WM6) with radio 1.40, IPL 1.04 SSPL 2.10 Olipro.........
I wish to down grade to the "Stock" Cingular 1.34, with the stock radio 1.3xx
If my thinking is correct, I should be able to run SSPL 1.10 (Olipro) and then flash the WWE ship.exe for the 1.34 which will put the stock IPL/SSPL on the device.........
Am I out in left field with a football uniform on, or is the goal line reachable?????
Thanks,
vpu2....OUT!!!!
follow mrvanx's guide. It shows how to do everything. I went from the 1.41 radio, the 2.1oli spl, and dutty's rom back to a 100% stock phone that was capable of being flashed by the file that you can get from HTC's website... i did all of this using Mrvanx's guide (and the search function)... this link may help a little as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301219&highlight=downgrade+the+SPL
Hi,
A few weeks ago I upgraded my T-Mobile Vario 2 to WM6 using the TMUK official update. I like WM6 but now need to downgrade back to WM5 because my satnav software (Route 66 Navigate 7) doesn't work on WM6! I've downloaded the WM5 rom from TMUK but it won't install - it puts the phone into debug mode (the multicoloured thing) but then waits for a while before coming up with an Error 260.
I've read all the guides and used the search but can't find an answer - this is a "stock" phone, not unlocked in any way and I'm only using the official operator's ROMs. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Tim

read this it seem to be the same error
Thanks - but I was hoping to avoid having to unlock the phone. As I understand it I shouldn't need to seeing as I'm trying to install official operator roms?
Cheers,
Tim
what is your bootloader version (HINT HINT)
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
I thought none of that mattered if I have only ever used official TMUK operator roms? I went from an offical WM5 to official WM6 and now I'm just trying to go back to official WM5? Whilst I trust the people on here more than I do TMUK support they say there should be no problem doing this.
Thanks again,
Tim

Since the old RUU isnt aware of the newer SPL version you have that is why it doesnt work.
Follow the guide for downgrading HERE.
BRILLIANT! Thanks mrvanx. I put HardSPL on using your instructions, then followed the WM5 downgrade guide. Only problem was that autodetect of my bootloader didn't work, and my SPL version wasn't listed so I had to use SafeSSPL. Seems to have worked, thanks again.
Cheers,
Tim
Could anyone provide me with info on how to downgrade to WM5? I need to do this for warranty purposes. The guide isn't online anymore for a few months at http://www.mrvanx.org/.
I would like to downgrade my wm6.1 to wm5 or wm6 (official roms T-mobile NL).
Thanks for your help
Since the guide to downgrade is still offline, I don't know how to handle.
I have searched the forums, but everyone keeps on linking to this guide of mrvanx.
I found this thread where mrvanx provides
this link to download SPL 1.10.oli. Since I understand I will first have to flash to 1.10 olipro before flashing the factory default SPL.
After I have used this I keep on getting ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
Can anyone please tell me how I should downgrade my Device?
I have WM 6.1
Radio version: 1.54.07.00
And still 2.10 olipro
thx
I stuck there now.
No guide for downgrading to WM5,
My phone is dopod 838pro, and SPL now is 2.10 olipro
Anyone can tell me where to get it?

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie of cooked rom scene. I want to flash my athena with ap4. I've understand that to run a proper installation i've to check the correct version of radio. But my question is do i've to unlock the athena first with athena unlocker? Or is it enough follow every steps of this guide:
http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf
Thank you
Sorry. I found the answer by myself. I have to run the unlocker to get spl 1.2 and then i can flash a new spl 1.2 rom.
I read all the guides about unlock and upgrade Athena but i've one doubt. My athena is an x7500 with a windows mobile 6 rom provided by htc. After i unlock it, can i flash the AP4 rom immediately or do i have to flash one of spl 1.2 rom first and then the AP4?
Please answer.
Thank you.

Hi kingmob,
Yes you can flash AP4 to get spl 3.5 , but I would suggest you experiment first flashing the spl 1.2 roms to get some experience as sometimes the ap4 upgrade goes a bit awry.
