hey guys,
please don't get angry with me.
I am just a newbie about upgrading PPC roms. (I was using PalmOS devşces for 6 years until last month)
On my Imate Jasjam I just made a "radio rom update" ; it works fine...
But when it comes to OS updates I am total newbie.
Now I plan to upgrade to WM6 rom but I am too excited. I don't know if I am "ok" to do it.
Do you think the WM6 rom for HTC Hermes works fine on Imate Jasjam ?
(as it is only OS update it should be, but just to be sure)
Any problems that may occur with my Jasjam ?
One other question is:
I know that I have to hard reset before the update. But then, can I restore from my "SK tools" backup over the WM6 OS ?
And last one:
I see on the Radio ROM page that there is a newer radio rom which has "GPS enabled" mark. Also, I see in some of the member's signatures :
"RADIO ROM: 1.35.00.11 (Trinity GPS enabled)"
What does that mean ? Is there really a GPS in all Hermes devices ? Should I only upgrade to that rom to be able to use it ?
Btw, I am sure that most of this is already discussed in one of those very long threads but I am very excited and I wanted to ask it directly.
So please don't flame me...
Thanks for your help.
Hey, there's almost a tacit rule that you have to do a certain amount of reading to be a bona fide member of XDA! Some of your questions indicate that you have done very little... where do you get the idea that you have to hard reset before doing an update!? Start at the WIKI!!
I'll give you this one though... it's an extremely bad idea to retore from a backup after updating the ROM.

thank you.
however, I don't understand why it's a bad idea.
I have many apps installed.
To install them from scratch would be too difficult.
I don't think the places in the registry would be different in new rom.
am I wrong ?
my word of advice, If you're not willing to spend time, then upgrade the ROM is NOT for you.
btw, spend a day or 2 to read the WIKI & some of the stickies.

You are wrong. As others have said, do some reading before you take the plunge. You'll be glad you did.
And if you keep CAB files on your external storage card, reinstalling apps isn't all that difficult. Trust me, I reflash ALL THE TIME and getting up and running after a flash only takes me about 10 mins. Of course, I don't use half the crap everyone else uses; I mainly stick to a few utils and my corporate email.
Thanks for all of your replies...
Mostly they are discouraging ((
I have read many threads about the upgrade process and I couldn't understand why "upgrade the ROM is NOT for me"
It seems simple as running the exe on the PC.
is there something I missed ?
because if you run the wrong exe file from your pc you will end up with a really expensive paper weight
And you've indicated that you're too lazt to reinstall your favorite apps unless you can simply restore from a back-up.
Hint, experiment... I know which apps will work from my storage card without need a fresh install after Rom upgrade or hard reset.
concur: changing ROMs is like crack... once you start, you're hooked
Best to get proficient with the reloading process since eventually you'll wind up being able to do it in your sleep. I actually reloaded from a cold reset while working out at the Gymn once.... (capital G in geek here...)
thank you for all of your replies.
then I will wait some more to see if a more stable wm6 rom is available.
maybe kyphur can release one which is even better than his forst one
then I will hard reset my hermes (as I will need space on it for the update)
and then run the exe from my computer.
then I will have to install all of my apps from beginning.
I hope I don't lose data
Am trying to install xplore 1.1 on my G4 xda mini s.
The problem I seem to be having is getting the CID info and ROM info from Shelltools, it just says n/a for both.
I have copied and installed the cabs cert SPCS and enablerapi onto my device and installed them to main memory. Rebooted my device but I still get the n/a info showing.
All I get after installing xplore is a white screen. I then went back to the love rom and then back to my stock xda rom from the o2 site and tried to install xplore again with the same results.
It was saying that my stock o2 rom was a custom rom ??
I am now back on the love rom and get this info from shelltool.
This ROM includes:
9b000000 00a00000 d451b626 Extension Rom
80040000 03900000 7ce45b95 OS
92000000 00030000 07da0e96 Splash Screen
9d000000 00010000 5ce2e035 htc logo
blversion : crossbow
device : wizard
language : wwe
Brand : HTC
CID : n/a
ROM : n/a
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
Im doing something incredibly dumb arnt I ? I really have read mounds of information but cant find my solution. Can I flash from the love rom ? Do I have to put a certain stock rom on ? I just used the latest one from the O2 site.
Any help would be most gratefully received.
I just want WM6 !
maybe you have to have your phone CID unlocked. i had problems with the Mun rom and only after a few trys it worked (i went back to the love rom a couple times). look around there is another method to flash a rom into a cid locked phone.
hope this helps. best regards.
erik
But using shelltools when getting the rom info it says CID n/a ROM n/a. At that stage the rom you are using hasnt even come into it then has it ?
I thought shelltools worked with G4 CID locked ? Im sure others with MINI S using the standard O2 rom must have done it, which says to me that I must be doing something simple wrong ??
Anyone ?
i dont recall ever seeing any info in those boxes. This is just from my personal experience. If i flash again soon i'll let edit this post and let you know.
All I know is it wont flash to Xplore 1.1 from the Stock O2 rom on their website. In some screen grabs on one of the guides it has information in those two boxes.
I have run both the cab files required on my phone and done a soft reset afterwards.
I will try to flash from the love rom tonight, but I have a feeling it isnt going to work.
Anyone any experience of this particular problem or have an idea of whats going on ?
Just tried going from love rom to Farria and no joy.
Incidently I have just restored to the stock O2 rom again yet in Shelltool it shows up as BLversion : Crossbow ???? Surely thats not right ?
Manged to go from stock rom to Farrias rom ok. Then went from that to Xplore, but there were double entries in the system folder.
So then went back to stock rom and then to xplore and it worked.
All I could suggest to people having similar trouble, it keep trying. First two attempts I couldnt go from stock to Xplore.
Ok, i have a Cingualr 8125 G4 and i would like to completely change it to a Tmobile one, i Downloaded the official Tmobile Rom and i have the shelltool and extracted the nk.nbf file. I also installted the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS on the phone before using the Shelltool, and so then when the shelltool is finished it says do Hard reset, so i do that, but when it comes back up, the phone is still cingular... Any Tips or whatever? what can i dot to make it tmobile.
p.s. i have already unlocked the sim, so the phone works fine w/ my tmobile sim card.
thx, zee
i give you a hint KLIK!!!
Follow this and at the and you will have a T-mobile rom on your mda.
Now i have a question to you. why do you want a T-Mobile rom? Why don't u get a clear rom?
well ive already did what those instructions say, but, it still has like cingular things on it, even tho it was a tmobile rom. and i like the tmobile look
clean you ext rom ... only OS install isnt enough!
so, how do i clean that?
Hard Rest Your Device ..let it start again.. after booting up and as soon as u see that 3 second for to start customisation message.... do a soft reset... this will stop the installation of extented rom..
hope this helps..
alright, im gonna try that right now
EDIT: Sweet that worked, now just have to flash the spash-screen
hi, i went to install hard spl v7 onto the phone (windows 7) and next next next.... installing... and im like AHH i have a herming.nbh on the SD card there STOP!!!! so i panicked and closed the hard spl v7 windows on the computer and then the phone said 'starting HERMING.nbh upgrade' and the bar went along and now its stuck and inline with the E and has been for like 10 mins.
HELP WHAT DO I DO
this is what it says on phone
HERMING.nbh -
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -
OS -
Update In Progress...
||||||||-----------------------|
EDIT:
it has been like 20 mins since this happened and the bar is now moving along i neerly had a heart attack there... now GSM is OK
EDIT 2:
UPDATE COMPLETE
UPDATE SUCCESS
EDIT 3:
soft reset.... sweet as....
someone delete this before i look like a jackass
too late.....
haha, it must have been changing radio firmware right?
Yep, that is the process that takes the longest and is the most dangerous. Was it a rom you put together yourself or a cooked rom from th wm06 section? Most (if not all) cooked roms have the radio rom removed.
Also be a good idea to install Hard SPL V7 too if you don't have it. CCID can be a ***** and is an unforgiving one at that.
Could be a miracle happened if Hard SPL V7 wasn't installed... - see, they can happen at christmas....
haha, yeah i have 2.10 installed (i believe is the latest)
the rom WAS an official one =) (dopod, found on here)
on another note, is it possible to strip the IPL+SPL and RADIO from roms (if a user-made rom had these for some reason) ?
What would be the benefits?
Would it effect the new OS?
thanks
Most, if not ALL cooked roms don't have the radio rom cooked in. Visit the WM06 section for the latest of those roms...
It is possible to do "surgery" on the rom but you need to download a program called ROM KOCH. Do a search for it, it has all the info in the thread on how to use.... (very old thread)
Hi, im getting very annoyed with my phone, probably something to do with i don't know what the hell im doing. Basically my phone has lately started to go crazy and constantly reboots, only getting to the orange windows screen. and very rarely boots up. I have the o2 HD2. Ive tried hard reseting..and taking out cards and booting but nothing seems to help. So i spotted the new generic 3.14 rom on the official htc website and downloaded it and thought it would fix it all. But now it wont work, it gets to %100 on the ROM update utility and says '' ERROR 270:UPDATE ERROR - The image file is corrupted, Please check your update utility. Ive downloaded it twice now as it told me as it was corrupt, to download and try again, but its doing the same. Now my hd2 is stuck on the multi colored screen and will NOT boot. Someone please help me, and try to have patience with me as im un-familiar with all this . Someone taking the time to help me would be VERY appreciated. Thanks.
theres a real o2 3.14 rom HERE

or you need hspl
Hey Brandon911 after you manage to flash the ROM member samsamuel was kind enough to link for you. If you don't know how to flash the ROM simple put your HD2 in bootloader(tricolor screen) and run the RUU or exe wich ever one it has once you exsrtact/unzip the zipfile. Make sure it says USB in the white bar of bootloader though before you run the updat utility.Anyway once you flash the ROM check your pins that connect to the battery cause I am willing to bet you have been dueing a lot of battery pulls and might have inadvertantly bent one of your pins. I say this cause you said your HD2 was "constantly rebooting".
i cant flash that rom at all? i try to extract it to my pc and it says its currupt :s ive downloaded it twice now. should i use a different rom? a custom one? And thankyou macgnolia

I don't see no real reason you should not try a custom ROM. Just make sure and tbis is very important, if the custom ROM has a radio that comes with it, that the radio is compatible with your o2 HD2. I am also sure when samsamuel gets to read this thread again he will be abale to offer more help, probably better than I.
Edit: You will have to have HSPL flashed to your HD2 to flash a custom ROM.
im sticking with the generic 3.14 from the htc website. my phone is on SPL 3.03? and to run hspl u can only go up to 2. something so it wont run? sorry guys, your patience is much appreicated. i just need some step by steps on what i should do, in order, for a noob.
hspl4, supports 3.03. If you want to use magldr you will need to go to 2.08.hspl
