I know there is a wiki and that's why I'm asking... I have this now:
herm100
ipl-1.01
herm100 spl-1.06+
That's on the bootloader screen, and I just did a hard reset. I've been using the default sh*t since it came out and have had so many problems. I want to upgrade to WM6 but I want to make sure it is as safe as possible. What should I do? Like what order? I saw some downgrade and stuff and I don't know.
I tried to upgrade to Hard-SPL-V7 like 100x with the Advanced Connection in PPC on & off. No matter what, I get the Error 260 ( my PPC says the bootloader is trying to run, I say Yes, allow it to run, and then it just disconnects from PC. happens even when I am unresponsive and don't click Yes )
I want to end up with a WM6 that won't eat battery, and will just load fast.
After you give me that advice... I had like 40+ applications before and I did so much to my 8525 to make it awesome and now it's all gone. So can you give me hints to this:
-Application to x out of programs
-How to make it stop shutting off every certain amount of minutes
-How to make it not freeze as often
-Any other hints.
Thanks in advance.
hi, i was haveing error 260 for the last few days
i changed my usb lead and the problem went away
i spoke to someone (cmonex) who said its a problem between pc and phone, try a different pc, but i found changing the cable worked fine
you could also try the thread where they update from the phone memory card, altho it never worked for me (tbh i havent tried it since ive changed my cable)
hope this helps, it might not but i did have same error code
Still the same error...
I'm using the default ROM now and I want to try out WM6 and first try the Hard SPL so it'll be safer. Any other advice guys?
Anybody? I really want to upgrade I've used this same ROM with the same errors for so long now =/
I have found im also getting this problem. earlier I updated to the latest radio software and that went ok and works fine. Now I cant update to anything.
First thing, I take it your Activesync is running fine... what version are you using. 4.5?
To it put as simply as possible. Get HardSPL on your phone some how.
Then stick on which ever ROM you want... Schaps 4.01 seems to be quite popular right now though he is working on a new one with some nice features so you may or may not want to wait.
I strongly advise people to use the MicroSD way of flashing as it's much safer. Many people don't have stable usb connections (and don't know it) which is why they end up bricking their phone. Even if you have HardSPL it's less hassle not to brick it in the first place.
Lastly, you have to search and read (and occasional ask), which is how most people here get their phone working the way they want.
Hey,
Like Wam7 says get Hard SPL on there...Here's a few ideas that worked for me. Please forgive any errors or omissions. Others may have better advice for you as well..
With an error 260, I believe you must first deal with your USB connection issues, ie: make sure you can remain connected properly to effect an upgrade on the bootloader level.
WIN XP: If your running AS 4.5 and getting a 260 error, try connecting to AS 1st, let it sync do all of its work...When the phone is chilled out, then start your wrapper for HARD SPL..There are some more ideas for AS here:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/667087/ActiveSync+and+Rom+8525?t=anon
VISTA: the native WMDC drivers for the HTC hermes aren't compatible when our phones go into bootloader..(That's why you hear 2 distinct "Disconnect/Reconnect" sounds when you go into bootloader)..Use Mr. Vanx's guide to force the connection. It can be found here: MR. VANX'S VISTA GUIDE
After you can connect and get Hard SPL loaded, 90% of your worries may be gone..You can still brick your phone but there's some safety built in.
Another good piece of advice I recieved was to flash your carrier's standard ROM and try it 1st..you may like it...If you don't then see if anyone has cooked a carrier specific ROM you may use...There are a couple of really good At&t specific ROMs: VP3G has a great one..Just try some out to see what you like. Thats the only way to get the ROM you are happy with.
Once you have a rom flashed, somebody told me to do a hard reset before configuring and customizing your rom...Maybe it seems to burn it in..Don't know..
I shut EVERYTHING down when I flash, programs, antivirus, software firewall, anything running in taskbar, SearchIndexer, I even disable my internet connection..I even throw my cat out of the room..15 minutes, its over and evrything can go back to normal..
Good luck..
Thanks for all your replies.. but this one, jesus christ. Dude, literally after I read this I followed the steps, and in 10 minutes I have Hard SPL AND the Scaps ROM there. Your advice is f*cking Godly, everybody who has my error... FOLLOW IT! His advice literally 101% solved my problems! Thanks so much bro!

Well it turns out all I needed to do was do a Phone reset and all was fine again. ended up ditching the new rom as It messed up my adress book on the PC and a few other things wernt too hot. Gonna try another one later.
Error [302] - updating to WM6 on a 8525
I'm trying to upgrade to WM6 and gets to 64% of the update and I get this Error [302].
Herm100
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.olipro
R 1.54.07.00
G 32.86u7020.23H
D 3.62
Anyone with this same problem????
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

hey there been a member for sometime and have tried to search for a solution to my problem and am abit confused.
and sorry if its such a newb question (dont burn me for it)
i have an o2 atom exec (using RC3 rom with touchflo) and yesterday i /soft reseted/ the phone because it was acting funny, after the reset it would be stuck at the startup screen and would not load past that the whole day, so i waited and re-tried in the evening.. the same thing occured... i was at the time able to load into bootloader (MN2) but then could do nothing else.. so i searched throughout the forums and found a post by 'chartreux' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1684559&highlight=EBOOT.NB0 but had not read the entire post and proceeded to load (mn1) onto my phone via mini sd card and it worked, my phone was working again, it performed a hard reset and restored it to factory settings (ie: calendar, msgs, contacts, software all gone) and phone is working normally again... since it has done this i wanted to update to 'wm6.1 atom exec rom' just to be up-to-date and have synced it via activesync and have run "DSUU" but my phone just restarts and loads the current rom i have installed! and just repeats everytime i have tried (have tried atleast 50 times)
so my main question.. is my bootloader dead? i know my phones not bricked since its still working perfectly im just not able to upgrade my ROM but can still do everything else (such as browse through files, run programs, make calls)
and last of all.. can anybody please help?! as i am at the point running the phone over with my car!
and once again am sorry for the stupid question.. =/ and thanks for hearing me out!
cheers!

what version of your bootloader now? MN2 or MN1? if still MN1 please read again the thread to update your bootloader to MN2 (since your device is ATOM EXEC).
and after done, please check when you run DSUU, see on the left bottom whether have a drop down box or not? if yes then choose "ALL"
hope this can help to solve your problem.
hey! thanks for the reply mate!
but im not sure i cant check the version of my bootloader...
wont let me get into it by pressing camera+SR or camera+off button..
just boots straight into the operating system.
and, as for the DSUU it just restarts the phone after i choose all, and goes through to the today screen on the phone, and as for the DSUU update its stays at the screen which shows "The current software is now being updated from your device."
followed by an error appearing after a few minutes showing " No download target was found!!" even though my atomexec is synced
which is then followed by the "connection error" screen.
please help.. this is seriously pissing me off...

try to downgrade again your bootloader to MN1 (please do it step by step). as long you can secure your bootloader, hopefully you can resolved your problem.
remember to upgrade again to MN2 once you able to downgrade to MN1 before try flashing to wm6.1.
good luck.
still cant access bootloader.. even when trying DSUU it just boots straight into the operating system, when trying to update and also i tried the MN1 bootloader again and tried to get into it... still nothing.. it just resets, i tried it with my 4GB mini sd, 2gb msd, and a 64mb mini sd.. could not get into it... sigh...
Ok try a deep breath and read all the posts on dead boatloaders and other upgrading problem posts through and through. Then try to change ur USB cable and what system are u using i.e XP or Vista????
thankyou kindly, for the suggestions i have been reading through alot of posts and tried alot but.. nothing so far.. i guess its not too bad since its stuck on windows mobile 6 with abusalzas rom..
im just annoyed i cannot upgrade to the latest 'rom' and since my phone 'had' to perform a hard reset why not update so yeh.. and i am using windows xp for my computers os.
Did u change the USB cable mate, once I had to do it and the interesting thing is that the same USB cable was working perfectly for other things but causing problems when connecting to my Atom Exec.
yeh tried it with my old v3 cable didnt work has the same outcomes.. sigh.. i might try that dead bootloader hardware and software recovery from this post by Alex_Beda & 1stMASTER

Hello,
Ive been tring to access the wiki page for the past few hours. and Im unable to to get to it, just gives me a tcp time out.
But Im kinda stuck, I loaded the ROM
HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6.1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.3.2008
Worked great for about 12 hours. and now its locked on the Windows Logo Screen. Ive tried Soft re-set via the button on the bottom of the phone and ive also tried removing the battery. ive read in some threads there is a button combination that can get me to a bootloader screen so i can load another rom? is this true?
And it hangs each time on the windows logo screen. Can someone point me in the correct direction. Ive searched on and off the forums. and im not finding a solution really other than goto the wiki pages but i cant seem to access those.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
** I got it to boot. I found a thread that suggested Pressing Both Soft Keys at the same time and pressing the reset. Once there Press R on the Keyboard to Confirm. and it seems to be working fine now. I Just need to Load a Stable ROM on there.
That would be called a "HARD RESET". It puts the hermes back to factory standard.... Please note though that it reloads the last os you installed, HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6.1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.3.2008.
If t keeps causing problems, my advice would be to go back to a wm6 rom until you know about the quirks of this little device and the issues caused by flashing wm6.1(not known to be totally stable)... Cheers...

Definitely.
On the other hand, if you are inclined to help with debugging, and understand what mtty is, and the phone is still causing troubles, you might try reading the rest of this thread, trying the proposed "task 28" solution, then reporting back in there.
Hello there.
First of all, hi, I'm Filipe and I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Ace a couple weeks ago, my first Android.
SecondlyI am completely new to this world and a lot of friends told me to come and register here should I want to learn about Rooting, ROMs and what not. They also told me to come here if I had any problem with the phone.
So far I didn't had much time to learn about ROMs and etc but today I got a large overview of it through a friends explanation, which is why I didn't came here before. But some days ago I started having problems with my phone. I googled an answer, I "androidpt.com"ed an answer, I even searched here and I have found either no solution or no one in certain forums with this problem.
Here's whats happening:
A couple of days ago, I was 'playing' with the phone when it suddently shuts down. After turning it back on, nothing seemed to have happened. Until I tried to install something. From that day on, I can only install certain apps. The others just won't install. This is what happens (I'd take a print screen but I can't install any print screen app, LOL):
1- I click the APP I'm trying to install.
2- I click on "Install" when it asks me if I want to install the APP.
3- The screen says "Installing" and has a tiny green moving bar bellow it, for about half a second.
4- After that half a second, it instantly says "Application not installed", leaving me with a single button to exit.
And that's it. I just can't install anything.
Solutions tried:
- First I tried a soft reset.
- Then I tried a SD reset.
- Then I went to the store where I bought it and they did a hard reset.
- Then I tried to hard reset it again.
- Then I tried Rooting it.
- And I'm finally trying to see if you guys solve it here..
- The last option will be heading to Samsung's large store here in Portugal but this will make me lose it for several days, and I was told you could probably fix this.
Ah well, hoping for a positive answer.
Kind Regards,
Filipe
I'm guessing there are no solutions then?
Maybe the app is for root users??
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Well I have it rooted, I tested installing stuff with it rooted, and unrooted, so it doesn't seem to be from that, but thanks for trying!
Any other possible solutions? This is getting really annoying, can't even take screenshots of my screen or install most games.
You should try to reflash you FW, it will be better then hard or soft reset.

And to take screen captures, you don't need any app, just press and keep pressed the back button and then the home button, both together, you will here the camera sound and a warning on the screen will show you where the file got saved.
Yup reflash your phone. Also you can take screenshot with a stock service. Hold the back soft button and press on your home middle button.

Hello there.
First of all, hi, I'm Filipe and I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Ace a couple weeks ago, my first Android.
SecondlyI am completely new to this world and a lot of friends told me to come and register here should I want to learn about Rooting, ROMs and what not. They also told me to come here if I had any problem with the phone.
So far I didn't had much time to learn about ROMs and etc but today I got a large overview of it through a friends explanation, which is why I didn't came here before. But some days ago I started having problems with my phone. I googled an answer, I "androidpt.com"ed an answer, I even searched here and I have found either no solution or no one in certain forums with this problem.
Here's whats happening:
A couple of days ago, I was 'playing' with the phone when it suddently shuts down. After turning it back on, nothing seemed to have happened. Until I tried to install something. From that day on, I can only install certain apps. The others just won't install. This is what happens (I'd take a print screen but I can't install any print screen app, LOL):
1- I click the APP I'm trying to install.
2- I click on "Install" when it asks me if I want to install the APP.
3- The screen says "Installing" and has a tiny green moving bar bellow it, for about half a second.
4- After that half a second, it instantly says "Application not installed", leaving me with a single button to exit.
And that's it. I just can't install anything.
Solutions tried:
- First I tried a soft reset.
- Then I tried a SD reset.
- Then I went to the store where I bought it and they did a hard reset.
- Then I tried to hard reset it again.
- Then I tried Rooting it.
- And I'm finally trying to see if you guys solve it here..
- The last option will be heading to Samsung's large store here in Portugal but this will make me lose it for several days, and I was told you could probably fix this.
Ah well, hoping for a positive answer.
Kind Regards,
Filipe

Hey!
Dose you CHECK the box in MENU>APPLICATIONS>UNKNOWN SOURCES?
CHEERS!
Anyone that asking in the forum and read ur post should be ashamed of themself, the details is well complete. This is how people should be posting when seeking for answer of their problem
Btw flashing seems a good way to solve this. Maybe ur system somehow got corrupted when it autoreboot that u mention.

Hi, I am having the same problem....
I brought my ace locked to 3, got it unlocked (simlock) then rooted it using Super One Click V1.9.5 Short fuse. The phone is running 2.2.1 Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
If I remove the memory card, then re-boot, I can install apps from market place.... for a while, then I just get the "failed to install message" and I have to remove the card and reboot
One thing to mention, I was already running a Galaxy Europa (I5500) and I am using the memory card from this phone, to try and install some of the apps from, maybe this has something to do with the problem?
I have downloaded the AceVillanRom and was goin to give this a go, do you think this will sort the problem?
Thanks for looking
