KITL down´t work
to do a flash from the sd card works, but it breaks with a red number 00028002 or 00068002 on the screen. then the device reboots and nothing changed.
if i try to flash witah a tool (for example ruuwrapper.exe) it breaks by 7 %.
i have made log files with usbmon and saved them in ansi and uni format. but i don´t know where i can place them, tah you can see them. thay are about 8-9 mb.
what can i do ?
who can help me?
i hope my english isn´t too bad ;-) !
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE means corrupted CID, and since you have no KITL, and NO GSM, and are stuck in Windows Mobile screen, unless you can flash the original rom (and I don't think you can...), you have three choices:
1. Send it to www.imei-check.com and they can do a JTAG reflash.
2. Have a repair center replace the motherboard
3. Buy another unit, and keep your for spare parts

What about a "task 28" in mtty?
first mistake was not reading directions lol.. you should of had SPLv7 flashed to your phone before you started. there is a whole section in the wiki on bricks you might want to read as well as a whole 60 something page thread on bricks which might help you out. my best guess is send it in for repair or buy another and save the brick for parts. before SPLv1 there where lots of bricks. you also might consider sending your phone to Oli or pof so they can use it for tests if there still doing hermes work
Sorry if i hijack this thread.
but i have the same problem.
corrupted cid, No KITL, stuck @ windows screen.
But the gsm are still okay.
Any solution ??
Cos i have try all the solution here.
Trying upgrade using the orange rom its say device id error
using no id rom update still the same.
using sd card got the same error as batterie
help will be appreciated
thanks
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I was in the repaircenter and they will change the complete device. in a few day i will get a new hermes and if i have a little bit luck i have to pay nothing.
if i will have more luck, i will have a mda touch.
when i will have the mda touch, what do i have to look for ???
what can i do with it and what not ?
what "mußt" i do ???
thank you for the help ...
I am sorry for your problems but it still amazes me that people are still flashing there phones without flashing HardSPL first.
I am interested as to why you did not flash HardSPL first, is the information too deeply buried or not easily found?
I didn´t found the information.
i have flashed my hermes about 10 - 15 times with different roms and operationsystems (wm 5, wm 6, radiopatch 1.xx, splash screen, own cooked roms, ..., up and down) and had no problems.
i think the last rom was not for the hermes device.
now i flash first hard spl and then i will try again all the roms ...
without the bricked device i have never heard about mtty, hard-spl, flash by sd card, ... and so on. so i think it was good for me, that i have bricked the device ;-)
learning by doing ...
without a little bit luck i will have in a few weeks two devices, one hermes (mda vario II) and one mda touch ... then i will use the hermes for test and the touch for work ...
thankxxx
i already read those wiki.
the only solution there is
Flash any shipped ROM matching your CID, if such rom is not available wait until your carrier releases it or send it to repair or warranty...
The problem was the device was corrupted cid so i cannot upgrade using the shipped rom (always country id error)
i try to bring to service center.its say it need to be replaced motherboard. and sadly its not cover the guarantee cos not official rom.

Hi everybody,
A friend of mine (who claims his English is not good enough to write here in forum) crashed his Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II, preproduction version). He tried to upgrade its ROM (from T-Mobile 1.4.110.1 to HERMIMG_Dopod_1.23.707.1_SHIP.nbh ) with a help of the following link: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/CHT9000_ENG.exe
He followed the instructions:
Please note the existing ROM is English ROM from Dopod for the SE Asia market. I tried this ROM with my Chinese version of Dopod CHT9000 (Traditional Chinese version from Taiwan). If you try to flash it directly you will get a vendor error. Try the following steps:
1. Extract CHT9000_ENG.exe by right click (I use Winrar)
2. Make sure you are connected through ActiveSync.
3. Open ROMUpgradeUT.exe
4. Go through all steps. Eventually you will see your device reset and go into a ROM Flash screen at 0%. You should get an error from the Flash software stating wrong Vendor ID code.
5. Don’t disconnect the device or reset it. Close the Flash software.
6. Click on ROMUpgradeUT.exe again and go through all steps. This time it should start flashing the ROM.
7. That’s it.
Till the step 6 was everything OK. However after re-starting of ROMUpgradeUT.exe everything started again from the beginning. He got the error 262 saying:
ERROR [262"> : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
After trying hard reset he lands in so called tri-color mode, he can see “herm100 IPL-0.16 a herm100 mfg spl-0.95”. That’s it. No hard reset possible. No other upgade (downgrade) possible.
My guess is he has to do something like here: http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-455.html
Am I right?
We thought about upgrading to ftp://xda:[email protected]/Up...d_ROMs/HTC_TyTN_1.18.255.3_WWE_Dumped_ROM.zip
I found the instructions how to create these raw files, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom but I have no idea, how to use the created ones!!!
Could you explain it to me shortly???
Thanks a lot!
Hans Jansen
Hard reset will not help.
Go into Bootloader:
Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.(from Wiki!)

If the Tytn is in bootloader mode, you can retry the flashing with the same or another update.
Good luck!
Bernhard
is there any difference?
Hi Bernhard,
Thanks a lot for your reply! However I am not sure if it helps. My friend says that "tri-color" and "bootloader" modes are one and the same mode.
He actually is able to start the flashing process again but is stops working by 0%... If he tries to repeat it - it is the same.
How is the situation with the raw files which I described in my first message?
Cheers
Hans

I am investigating on this, but havent found a reliable method to restore "raw" rom images into Hermes yet. I'll put it in the wiki if I find something, any help is appreciated too
@Hans Jansen:
Are you able to find anohter HERM100 preproduction version (300Mhz) where you can extract the rom using the method descibed on the wiki?
When you are in the bootloader, you should be able to run RUU and flash the rom, but I guess the preproduction version has something different that is incompatible with the shipped or extracted roms from production versions, so the way to revive your firend's hermes should be by flashing another preproduction rom on it.
Follow this thread if you are interested in the process of making a valid .nbh file, but we don't know how to do it yet, you'll have to wait until we find the right way for hermes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58656
are you sayin that the only reason for this happening is because his unit is a preproduction unit?

I don't know it for sure, but I've heared of two people who are stuck in bootloader after upgrade and both have preproduction models, so I guess it's a common problem on these units.
Hans Jansen:
Have u tried to connect through USB in bootloader mode using mtty?
1) Disable ActiveSync: connections -- settings -- uncheck "Allow USB Connections"
2) Open mtty.exe and select "USB" from the dialog box, then hit OK.
3) On the white screen hit enter and you should see a prompt like this:
USB>
Let me know if that works, probably we can do a full rom backup to microSD and you can load the rom from it.
I just got pre-production Hermes back to a OS using SET 14 0
So far many of you have been right on with suggestions regarding the pre-production units stuck in the boot loader are just that--- the 300mhz cpu, pre=prod Hermes 100 units. I was FINALLY able to use MTTY 1.42 I got from the buzzdev.net/downloads site. I used it by removing my battery, putting it back in, and powering on the unit which allowed the USB port to be opened again. I had to wait a minute or two for activesync to try to connect and say it couldn't recognize the device, then cancelled out of that and MTTY was able to see the USB port as an option. I connected, hit ENTER to get USB> prompt. Then typed SET 14 0 and then soft-reset the PPC and WALA!!! Original OS ROM 1.5 and radio version 0.92 back and OS functional. Not fully functional as it errors trying to load some MSN .cpl files, but I say no to opening them and I have a functioning phone! I've tried to reflash the device NUMEROUS times with the CHT9000 and other ROMs posted here, but they still return me to the stuck at boot loader and won't flash. Each time, I removed the battery, waited, used MTTY to set 14 0, and soft reset and back to a functioning OS. I guess I may have to wait for other roms to try. But at least the unit isn't a BRICK anymore! Even if the ROM sucks, just gotta be patient. I even tried using NoID RUU's and MA ruu. Neither worked.
Re: I just got pre-production Hermes back to a OS using SET
glad you have revived it
HTC makes things easy for us
I'll update the wiki, as this could be useful to someone else

hi everybody,
it´s me, hans jensen´s friend, who had the problem with flashing. i am sorry, my englisch knowledge is poor, however i hope, that you will understand me. very much thank to all, who have engaged in my problem. espetially thanks go to holywood63a, because he sorted out my problem.
but attention, the command "SET" may not be typed with upper case, as noted above, but with lower-case letters - "set", then!
holywood63a, pof, i invite you to beer, when you are going to prague 8) ...

Glad it is working, updated the wiki with lowecase "set".
thanks for the beer!! :wink:
;-)
F..k, xxjohn told me he speaks no English! I believe he had to be sooo happy that he has forced himself to write his contribution here ;-)
Hans Jensen's friend, let me know if you ever find ROM upg!!
You're very welcome as for the set command restoring your OS. Mine still has some glitches but runs until I can find a flashable ROM for the 300mhz version.
If you ever find a ROM that will flash to it, can you post to this thread?
Thanks!
And not sure I'll ever make my way to Prague or not, but would love to! I could if you sent me pre-paid flight vouchers for two adults and a child though! *smiling*
Hello,
Can you enter into the bootloader of the preproduction version of the Hermes, issue these commands and post the output here?
Code:
info 2
info ?
checkimage
info 3
Hopefully this will give us a clue on how to modify the Hermes roms to make them possible to flash into preproduction versions.
Also check if your bootloader has any of these commands, not present in the production versions: d2s, s2d, help
And tell me the IPL / SPL versions you see when your device boots.
If you want more info check this page, you can compare with the production Hermes bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
Note: "info 3" could hang the mtty console sometimes, do it the latest.
cheers!
Hi Guys,
I'm in the same boat as I've just been given a pre-production model of the Dopod 838 Pro but my main problem is that the ROM language is in Chinese! No problem if I could understand it but I'm trying to install a WWE ROM but have been put off by holywood63a experiences. Has anybody found a solution to this or is there another way I can change the language?
@pof: Anyway, here is the info you requested

omaqsood, thanks for the info, but to see exactly WHY and WHERE it fails, we need a full USB capture of the ROM Upgrade process, to do it download HHD USB Monitor, install it and start a new capture, click on the second tab where it says "full decode" and then upgrade the rom until it fails, then stop the capture and export it as TEXT (no unicode), zip it and post the results here.
After that, connect using mtty and type "set 14 0" and "task 8" to return to your previous rom.
Hopefully this will show where the problem is and would give us a clue on how to "adapt" a rom or modify the RomUpgradeUt for flashing preproduction units.
I followed your instructions as well as I could but couldn't find the "full decode" option. I've attached the output as you asked.
I hope it helps.
oops, i'm sorry but the log only contains activesync info, GetDeviceData.exe and EnterBL.exe, and when device enters into BootLoader USB is disconnected and LOG stopped, so it's unuseful
Instructions again, I hope this time will be more useful:
1) Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections".
2) Put your device in BootLoader mode
3) Connect device to computer using USB cable.
4) Start USBMonitor.
5) File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish
6) In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
7) click on RomUpgradeUt.exe and start the Rom Update Process, if everything went fine you should see all the USB traffic output on USB monitor window.
8 ) when rom upgrade fails, click on Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".
9) Save the file and zip it.
10) Go to mtty and issue the bootloader commands "set 14 0" and "task 8".
11) Upload the zipped file here again or put it on xda-dev FTP if it is too big.
I am posting this outside of the bricked thread in despiration. I posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1250132&postcount=1164 for intial help.
Quick recap...
Had no GSM on boot...device info showed no radio or protocol versions.
Tried HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a first, which might not have been the best choice. Load something (SPL i guess) then it stopped and tried recovery serval times.
Currently stuck in bootloader screen (tri-color) with this displaying:
HERM100
IPL 1.01
HERM100
SPL 1.40Olipro
Before flashing SPL was 1.11. I was instructed by digger_de to reload with new radio and select SPL 1.40 when asked... tried going to hard SPLv7 using latest CustomRRU...I selected FORCE SSPL (as per the guide) in the menu and tried to upload. Sits on "verify info on the hermes" screen then error 260 appears.
So I tried just to go to the new radio 1.41... I select SPL 1.40 from the menu..click update...get a progress screen that sits at 0% for a min or so...then error 262 displays. What do I do next?
Do I need to try KITLS or whatever, do I even have it? or do I need to use mtty and if so what commands?
I have read through the wiki and several threads, but I have not found something just like my situation.
I appreciate anyone that can point me the right direction.
Thanks,
Michael

Quick question, the latest radios have CustomRUU 4.3 in them (i know because i repackaged them).....check the wiki. When you select your SPL version do you tick "Is it HardSPL?" ??
I think your problem can solved easily, as you have Olipro's hard SPL already in place, this allows you to flash any ROM. With the phone on the boot loader screen (the coloured bars), connect it to the PC and then run one of the radio upgrades from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms - I currently use 1.40.30.00. If asked, select 'Hard SPL'.
If that doesn't work (i.e. you can't flash), you can try extracting the .nbh file from the radio upgrade, copy it onto a blank SD card, rename it to HERMIMG.NBH and reset the phone with the card inserted - see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing for more information.
If you have any further problems I would strongly recommend that you spend some time reading the wiki - the answers to your questions are more than likely there.
I am having exactly the same problem as the op. When running Mtty get the same results just different checksums. (I have IPL-1.04)
When I flash just a radio rom it freezes. Does not matter if I do it via SD card or via PC.
Starting to get a bit frustrated with this and starting to get a bit too technical for me haha.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
Cheers

Yessir...I did try that way. No go. Just sits on 0% for a min then phone restarts and PC (WinXP SP2 with .net 2) pops error 262 or whichever saying connection error.

If you have any further problems I would strongly recommend that you spend some time reading the wiki - the answers to your questions are more than likely there.

I hope it is that easy. I appreciate your comments. Currently I do not own a SD card, but as soon as the plane lands this evening, I'll have one if you think that is the way. As for reading, I have read so much here over the past few weeks, it is crazy. That is part of the problem, there is tons of info here and on the wiki, some seems outdated, and as a new user, I wanted current instructions just to make sure I did everything correct.
Thanks,

Hi,
I got dead Hermes from friend, I menaged to install OS by card update utility but when ever I want to install gsm it stops on 11% or on 0%.
Is there any help?

It seams it is ok but friend of mine probably tried to flash custom rom without hard sspl optrion and now I can not put any rom up.
Eny other solution...
if you're not sure if it is unlocked unlock first then install hard spl... you can do it through usb or sd card. check wiki for details... check if its hard spl already. go into bootloader and see if the spl is 2.10, 2.30 or 2.60.. if it is then its hard spl.
also check if ipl is 1.04 and not 1.01. if not then re install hard spl version 7. THEN flash os, would try stock rom first as it MAY fix the radio(no promises) . if that doesnt work try flashing a radio only rom and if that doesnt work I'm all out of ideas except to flash an os only rom(no radio) so you can use as a PDA..
personal preference is sd card method for ALL flashing. less chance of unfortunate computer related incident resulting in homicide and bricked hermes...
cheers..
SPL is 2.60 oli
IPL is 1.04
but even on card upgrade it stops on radio rom on 11% and that is it
I have read wiki all over 6 times and tried more or les everithing
any new ideas...
thanks
from what you descibe it sounds like your radio ha been corrupted. once that happens you May(very slim chance) fix it BUT 9 times out of 10 its a permanent brick. You should still be able to flash an os only rom onto it but it is now only a PDA. Keep reading though, you might find something.... chances are though that is not a phone anymore...
thanksfully it is not mine I feel sorry for friend but every school is expensive...

Hi
i have been dealing with the same problem for 4.5 hours finally with the help of wiki and pof 's posts i managed to unbrick radio.
first of all i tried almost evceryting. i finally succeed by reseting radio sector. i used mtty to gel into hermes and used commands of one of pof's posts for erasing radio sector.
i dont remember the link but google xda for it. then i flashed tweaked version wich is inclueded in unlocker by pof i aborted the operation in unlocking phase then installed hardspl7
i can use my phone now radio version is 1.10 sth but i didnt tried to install newer radio ( too tired :=) )
i hope it is usefull if anything not clear PM me or write here....
PS:Many many thanx to pof...

Hi,
First of all, here are the facts:
0- I've an EU RAPH1000 CID: RAPH__023.
1- I'm always using HardSPL on my device. (SPL 1.90 OliNex)
2- I'm always flashing from my Micro-SD
3- I've flashed for the first time from AS the latest ATT test radio (1.12.25.19 OS AKU 1.4.6 Build 20771), nothing special.
4- My TP hangs on the first screen at boot (the screen showing the RADIO/Protocol/ROM versions and hangs).
5- I can access to the bootloader screen (tri color). I gues now that I can reflash. (great news)
6- I reflashed back my old RADIO (.25.01) - device still bricked.
7- I reflashed back different OSs - device still bricked.
8- I've tried the Raph system Diag 5.02c nbh. made the whole function tests - All the tests were OK but the "F/T 1" USB sync doens't work ? (I dunno how to test that) - The device still bricked.
9- I've formated the nand - The device still bricked.
10- I'm thinking about to use remote access to see what's happening inside the device using mtty but I dont know the different commands ( and I dont wanna kill all my chances ) so this is why I ask you some help.
Can any one tells me the mtty diag/edit commands () ? is there something specific about using mtty on RAPH ? which is the latest version ? is the access password the same for all HTC devices ?
BTW, did you have the same problem before on RAPH, and of course do you have any advise for me ?
I know I can use my warranty, but I ask here for a technical "do it your self" support . I want to understand, some of the Nand/Flashing hacks and make a full use of my devices, thanx to the xda community experts.
Your help will be really appreciated, for me and perhaps for future RAPH users.

if you can goto bootloader you can flash other rom again.(using Activesync to connect PPC&PC. in that case the ROM data can also be trasfered, be sure that your battery must be over 50%).

torpie,
formatting the NAND wouldn't work-- are you doing it ala frankenkaiser? since you're using olinex' harspl the mtty commands for formatting the NAND are blocked.
you may have hit a bad NAND block and unfortunately in the section where the radio is being written. I had this case on my kaiser and even if I formatted it, bricked it, revived it, reflashed it, I can't get passed to the OS radio screen anymore. So off you go to warranty
torpie,
Correct me if I am wrong.
I thought the test AT&T ROM has a SPL 1.65 which will be flashed over your existing Hard SPL.
You may have to reflash Olipro's Hard SPL 1.60 first before flashing to other OS ROM.

As I'm using HardSPL, this one is write protected (?) and the new one wont overwrite it. I'm still having SPL 1.90 OliNex at boot loader
- But I don't know if the HTCEPassWord for RAPH is the same as the reversed one for the DIAMOND ?
- I don't know either if I can mount the partitions thru SPLbootloader/ RadioBL to retrive my DATA ? with mtty/qmat /dev/BlockDevice ???
- the device is in "security locked" state.

That is not correct. I used the Test ROM for the radio and then immediately flashed another ROM after that. And I just confirmed by checking bootlloader and it is still 1.90

You remind me of rotohammer, you may want to pm him or cmonex
Here is his thread before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435527
I'm not sure about this, but I recall from cmonex (or olipro) that the format command (task 2a) they've disabled it in the hardSPL (current one we are using).
Just to know, Is the HardSPL based on an MFG ?
Can I use the "info X" to check for bad NAND ?
If it's the case, is it safe to "task 2a" to recover this bad NAND ?
I just wanna be sure before proceeding

thank you, but I already saw that thread, but for my case I didn't modify anything special. And BTW this thread don't explain how they did to recover the situation.
ATM I'm reading allot about different IPL/SPL bootloader & AT commands. I'ts more comfortable with Putty (copy/past) so will use that (I m a lazy man I know). TBH, I wanna know what's wrong on my device, and try fixing things before using my warranty. (I don't even know if it still apply)
Here is the sammary:
1- charge your battery.
2- remove the SIM and SD cards.
3- inter the bootloader.
4- connect to the PC via USB cable and make sure the screen shows USB.
5- flash the latest stock ROM here http://www.genghis.be/_HTC%20Touch%20Pro_RUU_Raphael_HTC_Europe_5.05.401.1_R_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.rar
6- when it comes to the ALIGN SCREEN part, hard reset.
7- preferably reinstall the HARD_SPL.
8-if it doesn't work, you may have needed to buy the Rhodium anyway... goodluck

I didn't imply your case as the same with rotohammers'. I told you, you remind me of rotohammer-- he doesn't want to return his TP for warranty unless he knows what's happening to it.
And if you've read about that thread already you won't be asking the task 2a if it's safe. I've told you before it has been disabled/removed in the hard spl that we're using.
AND if you really, really read that thread, the solution to that even though you say "this thread don't explain how they did to recover the situation." was a MFG SPL.

You're right; I've missed some critical information about "task 2a" but what i've learned is that this one will wipe the whole NAND (OEM , SPL , OEMSBL ...etc) and it's important to reflash at least the HardSPL just before applaying a task 8 (before reboot). Task 2a is indeed a dangerous command, so it's normal that they've disabled it
anyway, I didn't mean to hurt you by my answer. just to tell you that I've seen that thread. In that case please forgive me
I'm trying my last hope, flashing the whole stock ROM with the MFG SPL. And try to see what happends.
Cheers

So to recover these bad block, I think It's possible to "task 2a" or "task 28", but what I'm supposed to do after these commands ? lnb the HardSPL ?
I really wanna be sure that the bad block wont bother me in the future
your help will be appreciated

It is perfectly normal for a brand spanking new device to already have bad blocks on it. I bricked mine trying to port a radio from a different device. The 100% brand new device they sent me already had 6 bad blocks. The original I bought from the store had 7 bad blocks from the very beginning.
Reversed blocks are perfectly fine. No need to worry.
Dear all,
I am having big trouble with my dopod 838 pro, issues is:-
- I can flash a after market ROM - wm6.1 from PDAVIET
- The unit has no GSM when turn on
- the unit has "IPL-1.01, SPL - 1.40.olipro"
- I can't upgrade to Hard-SPL v7.0 nor Hard-SPL v9.0 now, but it can be before.
- can't flash the radio via SD card, it keep stuck at about 10% stage.
can anyone help to solve this problem and make my unit working properly again?
many thanks.

P.S.
It can't run "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a" fully, always has connection error at the last flashing stage.

If you didn't have HARDSPL on the phone prior to the flash there is a WIKI about how to recover from a bricked phone. If you didn't have NO GSM errors before - EVER you can still get it back. Go to the WIKI section for the HERMES and try the steps there. Your radio is probably just corrupted not damaged but it might be.
Try the steps (ALL in the WIKI) then post back.
I had the same problem but my GSM radio is dying. Was able to get it back partially but it dies again so I'm assuming a hardware problem with my phone. If yours worked before the flash WITHOUT any GSM errors before you should be ok.
hi stim141,
thanks very much for your quick reply.
refer to the wiki page -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
i am confusing what's my SPL version and bootloader (HTC_BOOT) version ?
- my unit shows "IPL-1.01, SPL - 1.40.olipro"
- there's no radio version i can find in my unit
so what's my SPL version and bootloader (HTC_BOOT) version ?
thanks.
Your spl is the 1.4 and the bootloader is the first number. The chart in the WIKI can be confusing. It looks as though you should be able to flash just a radio rom. First suggest you try to flash HardSPL. REALLY recommend you flash using the SD card (there is instructions on the Wiki page) because you can have problems with Activesync. Try reflashing just a radio ROM first using the SD card it may come back.

Hi Again,
My SPL is 1.40.olipro, doesn't mean it is HardSPL already?
The second picture has already shown that the unit can't flash the radio via SD card, it keep stuck at about 10% stage.
any solution?
many thanks.
1.40 is an older unsafe version of Hard SPL. V7 (SPL : 2.10 oli) is considered the best for the layperson.
See if you can find what your radio rom was before you tried to unlock it as it will now be 1.16. Its best to re-install the stock radio rom or it may brick permanently. Always go back to stock....
Cheers...
sorry i have no idea what radio version is my original radio version.
can i just try to flash all version RADIOs one by one to figure it out?

As I said before.....
my unit is still dead.
I've got a Hermes with the same issue. If the MYYT commands don't work, it's a hardware thing. I replaced the motherboard on my Hermes and it works great now (was curious if it would work and how successful i'd be so i just did it today and it's looking great).
As kareem9nba said, if the fixes given DON'T work its hardware and has to be replaced. Look on ebay, you might be REALLY lucky and get a fully functional Hermes for cheap, as it may have a problem that yours doesn't and can be used for parts, I know mines made up of 2 different units....
Had a Hermes where the screen went bung, found another on ebay that apparently had same problem as yours... Now I have 1 working Hermes and a few extra spare parts...
Cheers...
