I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...
Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
So I was trying to fix my start menu problem, by installing a new rom, and now im stuck at this screen that is red green blue and white stripes, and says
"TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.4.0 Olipro
CPLD-9"
doing a hard reset did nothing! Brought me right back to the striped screen.
Explain it like your talking to someone who doesn't know much about phones, like me!
Thankyouu
Oh your killing me;-)
Well what you have is good so far because it is what you want to see, but more info is needed like what ROM are you trying to load and stuff like that. If you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to short cut the process then read the threads that talk about this and you just do the next steps:
1) Flash the unlocker (thats what you have done and where you are now)
2) Flash the ROM (Thats what you need to do now)
3) Flash the Radio (if you don't do this then you will really get scared)
4) Reload all your stuff and enjoy.
thanks for the reply, how do I begin to flash the rom? I've downloaded so many and run them with winrar and nothing happens it just stays at that screen.
i'm also very pissed off because I hard reset hoping to get out of this stupid screen and now im still there, with out any data. I'm stupid and didnt backup either so now i'm really screwed...
you need to run the rom loader - winrar is not a rom loader.
Download a ROM and the ROM Update Utility. Place the ROM's .nbh file into the RUU folder and run the RUU.
Read around, it's not difficult.
When I try to run the RUU, it says error 260 connection, even though my computer detects it, and it says USB on the bottom of the phone... anyone know whY?
Make sure your USB connection in ActiveSync is turned off. You may need to reboot.
alright I'll check when I get home... but when I did have it connected, activesync didn't detect it, so I dont know if thats what you mean or not.
A while ago I was looking for ways to install a custom rom to my HTC Titan (europian)
i have downloaded this file:
htcfanboys<dot>com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=10777 (i,m not yet allowed to post links)
and accidentally clicked on 'romupdateutillity' (...1_spl025/titan) when my phone was connected in usb mode (I don,t know the right word for it but it was in the screen that you get when you start up with pressing [volume up]+[volume down]+[on/off].
at this point an installer immediatly starts and it starts to install the program on my phone.
I let the phone finish and form this point forward it wont start up, butt simply keep hanging in the white/green HTC screen.
I figured it could be smart to finish the installation while I was at it so I also runned 'DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL' in the 2_HSPL folder.
After this it still wouldn't start up.
I am a pretty upset at this moment and I wonder if there's anything I can still do to fix my telephone.
here's the information that I could get form the phone:
PI39110
HSPL2.5. 160015.3(137079)
eMMC SMS 15028MB,FA32
cotullaH(F:81,ID:1,V11,B:F8)
Radio-16.23.06.10
I don,t really know what it al means but this is the information it gives in the USB screen.
As you probably guessed: i,m fairly new to this kind of things. so if you would know an answer to this problem i,d appreciate a simple step-by-step procedure to get my phone up and running again.
i,m verry sorry for my bad vocubalary.

EDIT: the firmware that was installed before this happened was the latest (i taught 7.10....
I fixed it,
Before the incident, I had root, no unlocked bootloader, stock JB, v20h.
What had happened was I was trying the Font Installer app in th Play Store because of the added customization that would have been nice.
I found a cool font, and I backed up my current fonts and then pressed install. SuperSU asked for permissions like normal and then my phone restarted.
Then it was so that my phone was stuck at the T-Mobile boot animation after the LG Logo. For about 15 minutes. This is where I believed something was starting to go very wrong. After contemplating for a few extra minutes, I decided to just take out the battery and restart. Same outcome. I thought of all the things that were on the phone thus far because I had just gotten it recently, and decided that it wouldn't hurt me to just do a hard reset by pressing home + vol down + power. Everything went smoothly. Except for the fact that even after I did that, it was leaving me at the T-Mobile screen.
I decided to look on the forums for development and tried to do the unbrick method, to no avail after about 3 hours now. I used the LG User Support Tool and since I hadn't updated to V20f, I decided to do that to see if it would solve my problem. It still didn't, and I'll be honest, I'm a little upset just typing this right now.
I also tried the Upgrade Recovery option and it warmed my heart to see that the process was actually starting. But right at the screen where it says that it is supposed to be downloading something, it freezes up and nothing happens no matter how long I wait. I saw somewhere that it should be a glowing red bar, but I do not see that anywhere, it is just frozen, saying Time Elapsed: 00:12. And before anyone asks, yes, I ran absolutely everything as an administrator.
Is there any possible way to bring this phone back? Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

did you hard reset? then turn off your phone disconnect the battery, connect to the pc holding the volume up button? then try the Update Recovery?
i would just go through that process over and over until it works, theres not really a way to brick this phone i've heard...

I have tried hard resetting multiple times, but I had removed some bloatware apps (I will quarantine them next time instead because I don't wanna go through this ever again) and I have tried the kdz method to only be stuck at 15% every time when I followed instructions to the pixel. I have tried to do it on windows 7 and windows 8. I have also tried the fastboot method by lelus, and that manages to "work" but I am still stuck at the tmobile boot screen afterwards. I have gotten the hang of the process of getting into the fastboot, but what do I do from there? I chose to flash ics xloader and uboot, but the process goes by so fast, I'm not even sure it is doing anything. The LG Tool has really gotten me nowhere, it just gives me a lovely error and then cannot continue the upgrade recovery process.
It said somewhere that after I flash through the fastboot I then have to try the kdz method, so I am going to do that now and see if it works. I don't know if there would be a difference between flashing a jb kdz or an ics kdz, but I will just do ics to be on the safe side.
I am quite happy to say that flashing the ics kdz was successful, and my phone is now up and running.
My p769BK is stuck on the LG screen. /: months

im terrible with fastboot, i used the unlock the bootloader for noobs with an offline flash.
heres what i did to get out of bootloops....
alright, this is all from memory but the offline flash didnt work as well for me when stuck in weird bootloops.
Step one-going back to online flash---->
A---
the easiest way i found was to go to C:/windows/system32/drivers/ect/hosts
right click>open with notepad
there should be two lines at the bottom
"127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com"
i would cut them out and paste them in a text doc in the same folder for reference later...
but either way you should remove them from the hosts file and save
B----
Make sure your small server is closed! once you minimize it it should go down to your status bar (shttps)
Step two-LGMS---->
make sure you have LG mobile support installed or install it.
open lg mobile support
install needed drivers for your phone
power your phone off/remove the battery
put battery back in
connect it to your computer holding down the volume up button
S/W UPDATE mode should pop up, if it doesn't preform and hardreset and try again til it works (it will)
then in the top right corner there should be a button or two click them both until you see
"restore update" or Update restore or something to that effect
select that
and let it ride man
i got my phone ****ed many times and just had to keep redoing this until it worked. if your bootloader is truely unlocked you can probably go through all that again and get CM10 working, i did but im still working through kinks.....
GOOD LUCK feel free to ask any more Q's about this process if you run into any problems
