Help
I've gone through the steps on http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
to downgrade from WM6 to the official Voda wm5 release (as i need to send it back for repair, dont want them making any excuse not to do it)
but now all the phone does it do the voda spash screen, then the "windows mobile" blue splash screen and hangs there.
any ideas?
i've put the unit in to bootloader and reflashed but hasnt helped any.
also using 2.10.olipro
just to add i just tried to upgrade it back to schnaps wm6 rom and even though it worked it still says vodafone on the splash screen, so dont know think it worked.
dont all rush at once.
managed to sort it in the end if anyone cares

Hi guys,
Upgraded to 1.16 radio - (Tmobile UK ROM)
This kept 'hanging' so upgraded to 1.20 - this failed
Left with NO GSM - followed steps as requested set pass etc.
Still wouldn't upgrade
Tried to put latest ROM on (South african?) this FAILED but installed boot load 1.09 - argh!
BOUGHT (£20) the imei-check to downgrade - this WONT WORK - keep failing!!
Please help - stuck now - phone boots - but has NO GSM all the time...
Please help!!
please attach a usb monitor capture of a full rom upgrade until it fails. Probably will be "cid not allow (255)", but just to make sure.
No T-MOB001 rom exists yet
Did that - thats exactly where it failed!
Is it stuffed? :-(
I don't know, never had one of those with "NO GSM" error on my hands.
Probably as radio is screwed CID is corrupted and you'll not be able to flash a ROM even with your original CID. I think for you the best would be to send it to service centre.
Yeh, thought it may be stuffed! FUnny thing is, when I do a hard reset, it doesn't have the NO GSM, it reports 1.16.0.0, it's as if the T-Mobile customs reset it all. Is there any way of stopping the customs?
Regardless, I have had the phone < a month so I'm ringing customer services to see what they can do - maybe not admit I've tried to upgrade it just yet!!!

I guess by "customs" you mean the Extended Rom, if yes, just do a soft reset before it installs (3 seconds). But I don't think it would do any difference...
Ok- update to problem,
Managed to downgrade from 1.09 to 1.04 of bootloader usining IMEI-CHECK.
Did HARD RESET and plugged in hermes when "press screen to continue" came up (just booted) linked to ACTIVESYNC then ran the software IMEI-CHECK sent me, this connected to hermes and asked for .unl file from imei-check. This 'downgraded' to 1.04 of bootloader.
Then managed to install a 1.13 radio rom - hermes still kept hanging -but I could use phone a little (managed to make 2 calls before a lock up). I was going to re-install another full rom upgrade - I think this may have sorted it, but by this time I had rung T-Mobile support in UK and they agreed to replace unit (I pretended it had gone wrong 'all on its own' hope Karma doesn't catch up with me!)
I THINK I would have managed to sort this using the solution from IMEI-CHECK and this forum by reapplying another full ROM upgrade. So thanks to everyone for their help! Hope this is of some use to someone!
Please help me. I recently upgraded to the Black satin rom and everything was fine. However the touchscreen on my M3100 has started to go haywire.
After being on for about 5 minutes the touchscreen doesn't work. It seems like the top right hand corner is faulty as the close button keeps being pressed again and again. I think it is probably the phone that is faulty rather than the ROM.
Anyway I need to revert back to the original Orange ROM (WM5) so I can send it back to orange. I've only had the phone about 3 weeks so its still under warranty.
I tried to load the ROM off the orange business website but it errors when trying to load the rom on. I assume I need to downgrade the bootloader thingy.
Any help much appreciated!

Look for "downgrade guides"
I'm in a similar boat mdavix!
I've just tried flashing an original T-Mobile WM5 ROM using MrVanx's guide but it doesn't progress beyond the bootloader page. Instead the update times-out and gives Error 260 - "Cannot connect to PDA"
Getting late (that's when Bad Mistakes Happen lol!) so will come back to it at the w/e I hope. Let us know if you have any luck!

T-Mobile MDA Vario II / schaps 3.57a / Radio 1.41 / HardSPL
interestingly, I put black satin on my new M3100, and the screen started going. So I put it back to the latest Orange release (from the website) 2.11.61.1, but it was still screwy. Sent it back to Orange, and got a different recodnitioned phone back. They said the ROM was the issue, and the one they gave me had 2.11.61.3 on it. This version is not available for download... has anyone else seen it?
Do orange know what is happening to the screens? Is something getting burnt out? does 2.11.61.3 have a fix?
Well... I'm too scared to put WM6 back on, now, although I really want to. I at least want to wait till I can get hold of the update for 2.11.61.3, and even then, I'm not sure.
I have looked at the downgrade guide but don't really fancy the re-compiling the nbh business.
The strange thing is that if I take the battery out for a couple of minutes, then replace and boot up, the screen works for a while!
Is it worth trying a different rom?

No, it's a hardware problem, I assure you.
Ok, thanks vp3G.
So I still need to get back to WM5.
I'll have to give mrvanx's downgrade guide a go!
Is this still current? Is this the correct one to try?
I carried out the steps in the downgrade guide and attempted to flash the resultant rom onto my M3100. It started to update got to 1% and failed with a transfer error!
Now when I turn the phone on it just comes up with the three colour screen!
Have a broke it forever? The screen reads:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Please help!
Phew! Panic over, I've managed to get the Black Satin rom back onto my phone.
I'm stuck at the screen alignment screen again but at least its got an OS on now!
I still need to load WM5 on tho. I think I'll try re-doing the downgrade guide and see if that helps.
I'm looking at duttys nbh tool and notice that the device id is HERM200. My phone is an M3100 so a HERM100. I'm going to change the value to be HERM 100 and re-compile. Hopefully that was the problem last time!
i posted this in the other forum as it mite be more busy there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1703450#post1703450
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes. i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04. it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.
can someone help please.......??
Have you tried just flashing a Radio Rom Only?
Hi,
i have a friends I-Mate JAMin (or HTC Prophet)
its a G4, now...it was running WM5, so i put HardSPL on it, went to flash a WM6.1 rom and now all it does is sit at the tri coloured screen, it seems like the HardSPL has done nothing, because the SPL is still the old numbers (the originals, it hasnt changed to 2.G4.4PDA, or whatever its suppose to show)....
I need help ASAP, i cant go back to my friend and tell him his phone is stuffed..
PLZ HELP, ANYONE....PLZ

the SPL number is currently 2.13.0001
i cannot get past the tri-coloured screen.
PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ help, is the phone stuffed?

Dont Worry
If your scree show RUU and you see USB in the left corner when connecting USB - then dont worry.
Just fksh it with a NVID wm5 Prophet ROM that is available in this forum and tou will have your device back.. you can then try to upgrade it to WM6 etc
Dear XDA Developers community,
my father recently gave me his old HTC HD2. It had its factory default stuff. I wanted to download some apps and play around with it, so I downloaded some apps from the marketplace. As soon as I downloaded a free Sudoku game, and ran it, the phone stopped responding. I tried to do a soft reset, but the phone did not respond either (it was stuck at the menu).
Now, I may have done an error: I removed the battery, instead of performing a Hard Reset. When I turned it on, it started rebooting in a loop, being stuck always at the HTC white welcome screen.
I decided for a Hard Reset. Well, it always gets stuck at the bootloader screen (the screen with the 4 colors).
So, I researched a bit, and found out, you can return to its stock ROM, eve with a stuck bootloader.
Well, I downloaded many old ROMS (the Rom before the problems was a 1.66 one), and ran the RUU through USB. But it always gave me a Incorrect vendor ID error (I think it was 194), so the update would always stop at 1%.
I even tried a 1.43 ROM.
I tried many WWE version Roms, but they don't seem to work. My father bought the phone on Amazon US, with no special contract or phone lock, so I guess it has to be a WWE, so I don't know why the RUU says it's incorrect.
I have seen other threads that have some similarities, but my exact same problem has not been addressed.
I would be very happy if you could help me, since I do not want to spend any money on repairs which I could probably perform with help of the community
I would be most glad to give more information if needed.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit:
The issue was resolved by installing HSPL4 on it, and then using a WWE 1.66 ROM on it! Silly me for not trying that earlier!
glad you sorted it, , to explain why it wouldnt work, you were not using the correct rom for that phone.
Your first clue would be the 'invalid vendor id'. An 02 phone (for example) will only take o2 roms, a tmo phone tmo roms, a voda phone, voda roms. Only unbranded phones take pure wwe roms, so for example
ruu leo htc wwe 1.66.405.2
see it says HTC in the filename? its for unbranded (not sold by a network) hd2s only.
I guess you have a branded one. (even if its been unlocked, the rom lock always remains, which is why we have hspl)
Incidentally, you only had trouble because you initially flashed from sd card, and step 1 in teh sd card flash is hspl gets removed, the phone restarts to continue flashing but because hspl is now gone, it fails. Had you flashed from usb teh first time, it would have worked.

Thanks for the answer Samuel. I got the phone to work again, and I even loaded NAND Android from the DFTeam.
Although the ROM runs just perfect and I love it, now my Volume Up key has stopped working.
I could not post on the Development section, so I guess I won't bother anyone, and will just post it in this thread.
It is a minor issue, but it's still is annoying. I found on the forums problems with the key with other models, but not with the HTC Leo.
Maybe someone has heard of this. Again, thanks in advance!
