Hey guys, I have a Cingular 8525, and I started to get the white screen of death. It would go white on me for no reason, wouldn't respond to the front buttons, and the screen was misaligned. So, I warrantied it (thank God I was within my 90 day warranty window!).
I had flashed it with a WM6 rom using olipro's hard SPL, and now I need to send it back. I wanted to flash it back to WM5 to avoid a $500 dollar charge, and I just wanted to make sure I did it correctly without voiding my warranty.
I flashed it down to SPL 1.10, and then I simply ran the WM5 rom that is downloadable from the HTC Cingular 8525 website. It looks to me like it worked successfully, it runs WM5, the bootloader now shows:
HERM100
IPL-1.03
HERM100
SPL-1.11
Is there anything else I need to do to ensure I don't get charged?

Looks good. I RMA'd one in this condition to Cingular - no issues.

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!

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!
my gfs hermes speaker is busted so im sending it back in for a warranty return. i talked to att and they said that upgrading with the official htc rom wont void the warranty and yada yada. the phone at this point is

I've never downgraded IPL or SPL but other than that I've gone back to original config with my UK Vodafone branded Hermes.
There is a section in Mrvanx's guide on SPL downgrading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462 but you may need to search a bit further for the IPL downgrade.
Good Luck.
so at this point my goal is to follow mrvanx guide and downgrade the ipl and spl and then i was planning to reinstall the officially released wm6 upgrade in the hopes that it would put its own version of its ipl/spl on the phone. the problem im encountering is when i run the downgrader the phone asks me will i allow bl.exe to run and i click yes
it goes into the red/green/blue/white screen and says its
herm100
ipl-sspl by des
herm100
spl-1.09.ds
wtf is that? it wont let me go past this point, ie i get an error when it tries to verify information from the phone. i can restart the phone and it goes back to windows and olipro2.10 --- im not sure what direction to go? should i try to put an original wm5 rom on the phone then try to downgrade again or what?
hard spl is the way to go i think
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
i have hard spl 2.10.... im trying to get rid of it and return the phone to factory like conditions, well not really factory cus im going for the official wm6 but essentially i cant send my phone in for the warranty with olipro on it so im trying to ditch it, but the posted methods arent working for me
Searching returned almost 30 different threads. Have you looked here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314107
Are you following the MrVanx guide carefully? I have never had an issue following the steps carefully. The info you are getting is because it is using the force SSPL option, which it should. I would suggest you try again, following the directions very carefully. Good luck. It really should work.
when it gets to the screen where i see spl-1.09.ds the ruuwrapper provided from mrvanxs guide says "Verifying the information on your Hermes... Please wait..."
this is where i get an error 260 and its asking that i check the usb cable and what not which i know isnt the issue. im gonna try this on the other comp in my house which is xp. i have been trying this on a vista machine
so it worked on my windows xp rig. once i downgraded the spl, i reinstalled the official wm6 and it upgraded the ipl to 1.04 and the spl to 2.03 which im happy with and have already placed my order for the warranty exchange.
thanks for the help to those who helpful
Does anyone have a stock-standard JasJam with Telstra in Australia, which has never been upgraded with HardSPL or a cooked version of WM6?
Or if you have upgraded, can you recall what the stock standard settings should look like ?
When I enter into bootloader mode (if that's the correct terminology) by holding down the OK and Power buttons, and pressing the reset button at the bottom of the unit with the stylus, what should I see ??
I am currently seeing -
HERM100
IPL-1.00
and
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Is this the way it should look if it has never been upgraded with HardSPL or a cooked ROM ?
Thanks in advance.
Why do you need to know this?
If it is for warranty, dont worry - I sent mine back with a cooked ROM and HardSPL and they fixed it no worries at all. They did however flash it with the latest Telstra firmware, which I promptly replaced when I got home.
Cheers!
I'm looking at my very green eBay purchase of an untouched Telstra JasJam.
IPL Ver 1.01
SPL Ver 1.06
(lets see how long it takes me to brick it)

NO lets not.
Flash HardSPL BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
bricking jasjam
I agree with MRVANX, I highly recomend not to brick the jasjam, I accidently bricked mine only response I got from it was the red pwr led, totally stuffed and a waste of A$1300
my Jasjam was
IPL : 1.01
SPL : 1.11
This was a stock jasjam from telstra as of Oct. 06. Not that anymore.
Hi guys I need some help. I have a Cingular HTC 8125, I was trying to upgrade the rom on it to a new WM6 and here is what happened.
I have been researching the topic for about 3 weeks.
Its a G4 Device being upgraded with VISTA w/ Moded drivers for Ative SYNC
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
I used the shell tool to install one of the roms waited about 2 hrs and finally noticed that the window was NOT RESPONDING so I had to shut down and start over. The phone got to the second screen but froze there now showing
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
On the Cingualr Background, I can still enter the Bootloader screen but nothing else?
Nothing else happens I cant connect the phone to the PC to do anything else.
Is it bricked or not is my question and what can I do to flash OEM rom or something that will work.
I tried OEM Cingular rom but I get ERROR 260 No connection to the phone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Bricked phone
You should had firstly either hardspl or soft spl the phone b4 trying to load any rom
It's not bricked as long as you can see the RGB screen (Colors red, green and blue)showing the same IPL/SPL such as yours; IPL: 2.25.0001 and SPL: 2.25.0001. AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR DEVICE CAUSE ITS G4 MEANING YOU CAN NOT JUST INTALL/FLASH ROM. Make sure that the Rom you flash not contain G3 IPL and SPL which is 2.xx.001. If so, then you will bricked your device.
Desiji is right, you should install rom with softSPL or hardSPL.
Try to flash the Official Cingular Rom or Wizard Love Rom. If success, then you can install other Rom using what desiji said. Just make sure that its a G4 safe rom. And another thing, try to charge battery using wallcharger not in the device. U need enough battery to perform rom flashing.
Hope this help revive your Wizard.
esdee007
WOW !
grrrrr8,you are a quick learner
CateraMV6
Yeah ! I certainly agree with esdee007 and desiji
Thanks
Hey guys thanks, thats what I thought but I think my main problem is the VISTA I need to get a hold of XP and try all that because the Vista is having issues with connecting to the phone at the moment, I can not get it to show it as a device. It does make a beep noise when you connect/disconnect it so its doing something but Vista is just too much of a pain in the rear to deal with.
Its a good news that its not bicked so all hope is not lost.
What is the opinion on Tmobile WING!? any reviews should I get that phone instead?
BTW where do I find these G4 Safe ROMS? and how do I tell if they have the IPL/SPL in them? Do I need to hack them to tell?
And is Soft or Hard recommended?
YUP ! sure vista is still not compatible for flashing,WinXP is highly recommended and trouble free.
All official stock roms are safe to flash both the devices G3 or G4,secondly,all the latest custom build wm6 or wm6.1 are safe for both the devices,as they don't include any IPL/SPL in them.
If you plan to flash many roms,than 'HardSPL' is recommended,coz its done only once and the device remains semi_Cid unlock untill you personally remove HardSPL,but with SoftSPL,its done everytime you want to flash a new rom,choice is all yours,how you want to go about it.
Three days ago, I would flsh my t-mobile mda vario II with wm 6.5 fraom tai. I thaught, the flash was well, but when I made a hard-reset, the mda stopped during booting. I can see the t-mobile start-scree and then the windows mobile-screen, then boot stopped.
I can't get contact with active sync, I can't flash with RuuWrapper. I always got the Error 200.
When I want to flash from SD-Card, I saw at first the 4 colour screen then a grey screen with loading und the the numbers 00068002, after this the four-colour-screen shows
HERM300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
I want to go to summer-holiday in three days and I want to use the mda as a navigation tool.
So I need your help to reanimate the mda.

Yesterday I use the t-mobile image from the wiki. Update starts but then I got the "Error 294" - wrong vendor-ID. How can I see the vendor-id of the mda?
I need your help, cause I want to go to holiday on friday.

Mate you broke the No.1 rule - HARD SPL YOUR HERMES BEFORE FLASHING.....
Unless you have the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM you won't be able to fix this in a hurry. Why don't people READ anymore, its not like there aren't warnings written EVERYWHERE on this site about Hard SPLing your Hermes...
Hope you can borrow a GPS or you'll need to purchase one as I don't see this getting fixed before Friday.
I believe that's right.

But how can I get an original shipped stock rom. I've talking with htc and t-mobile. both of them have any ROM for Hermes.
Is there anyone who can help with an original rom?
