Hey there, I've been anxious to flash my xv6800. I've been reading and searching extensively in the forums and FAQs and the Wiki (I don't usually post until my frustration is out of control). I've found some useful info here:
How-to for Wizard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
but didn't see the G3/G4 designation on my splash screen (dead end)
How do I go about flashing to a DCD rom (or any custom rom for that matter)? Is there software I need to install on my comp and are there any steps specific to the xv6800 verizon firmware?
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks
I'm in a similar situation to you. I found this helpful guide the wiki here and it got me started. I also posted a similar plea on the DCD's Titan Rom thread so see if a response turns up there. Good luck and PM me if you find anything helpful. The title of your thread makes it a good place to post for the likes of us.
edit: I bet if this was made a sticky and some informed people posted some helpful info, us noobs would stay out of other threads asking for answers. (sound of kitten stuck in tree)
i need help too
well i got impatient and just downloaded dcd 1.6.10 and just clicked on the .exe without doing anything else. its currently doing its thing, hope it works!
You so crazy! I hope that works, but I have my doubts. The version you're referring to, 1.6.10, is for DCD's Titan kitchen. AFAIK, the kitchen's for cooking your own rom. Cooking is different from flashing as far as I can tell. I think you'll now find that you're ready to make your own rom on your PC, but that still leaves us unsure of how to prepare for and execute the actual rom replacement on the Titan. Right, wrong, Bueller?
it didnt work. it was stuck at 0% forever and then gave an error. i took the battery out and back in and am back to how i was before. no brick
i think i need some sort of bootloader. "re-locker" ? i cant find this when searching.
i thought dcd 1.6.10 is a rom for everyone, and kitchen is for those who want to make their own roms? im so confused.

I tried to load dcd's and the official rom and the same thing happens to me, stuck at 0% then connection error.
Been trying to get some info from ppcgeeks.com but the forum has been down since yesterday.
What are we doing wrong?
Throw you a bone
OK, you guys sound real clueless (actually only a little more clueless than me!) so I'll help out. The ROM by itself is all ready to flash to your phone, like reinstalling a new operating system on your PC. The kitchen can be used to customize your own ROM, but I'd suggest you guys read up a bit more before going here. The garden variety ROMs that DCD and others provide is fine for now.
There are utilities on this forum to get you out of the bootloader screen if you get stuck (heppened to me last night). Search around a bit, and certainly read up a bit before flashing. These things are real complicated, but it takes a bit of understanding because the steps MUST be done in the right order, and many impatient folks dive in and get screwed, then complaign to the folks who gave them the files to begin with!
jorge_culv
Maybe ur misunderstanding what's happening.
Whenever I try to flash the device Windows Mobile Device Center closes both the screen on my Mogul and the window on the host pc never moves from 0%
Hope that helps
OK - I'm new to this also but have a question. I know data is lost so does that mean I need to re-establish all my email accounts and contact lists? I installed the cab to allow you-tube and bluetooth data to my tomtom. Also the Touch commander. Is all that gone and I have to redo that as well? Is there a suggested utility to back up as much as possible to restore? I sync with my company email via exchage. Right now everything is basically working fine so hate to take a chance.

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
I have been wanting to unlock/upgrade my 8125(G3) for awhile finally I got the time to try (just in case something went wrong). After reading previous posts everything went well. I am now running WM5 w/Touch Flo many thanks to the dev.
The 8525 I am working on now this i have a few questions on:
1.) The screen flashes to fast on reboot to see what the SPL/IPL is so do I
assume this is a G4? If not how do I find this info?
2.) Just for educational sake I attempted to use sSPL that was supplied w/
the WM5 (touchflo) rom (G4 Safe) on the 8525; The instructions say
sometimes it doesnt go to white screen so you can begin flashing just
close everything out and try again; I tried around 10 or so times...
3.) Some of the post in these forums are just amazing props goes out to
this whole community; however most if not all use terms that I can only
guess at by the sentence the are in so if anyone could help out it would
be great.
I get the concept of flashing the G4 with tricking the phone into thinking its CID unlocked and all i think i'm just missing something... any help would be appreiciated TIA
If I am not mistaken you better have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The Hermes-forum would be more appropriate for your questions ...
Thanks for the reply, what was throwing me off was the fact that under "Hermes" the '8525' is not listed w/ the other phones. I figured this would be one of the more popular phones since it is the 8125 replacement @ our At&t store.
After posting the first post I did some reading and I think I've got everything I need. The HardSPL seems to be the way to go, and the software that does a check to make sure its a G4 before proceeding is awesome! Thanks for the help, thanks to all the developers here in this forum as well.
I ran at a post in the forums that explained why it's important to flash original ROM every time you upgrade to custom 6.1 and outlined proper 6.1 burning steps - flash the original AT&T ROM, ... do something that I forgot, flash radio you want, flash 6.1 ROM...
I don't seem to be able to find it anymore, I've spent over 2 hours searching XDA now... I may be just blind...
Anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance.

Its not really necessary, a minority of members have reported issues with WM6.1 ROMs but nearly every user I have chatted with has NOT been able to reproduce the problem.
I have flashed MANY MANY times with WM6.1 and have NEVER once found any issues with hard resets or crashes.
All I can say is use good practice, save any stuff you need to keep....use an exchange (activesync) account to backup your contacts and messages etc....DONT use a backup program (PIMBackup is ok) since moving between builds can cause issues when you restore the backup.
Thank you.
Do you, though, know where I can find them?
They did help me - flashing ROM and following the steps exactly fixed my nasty and long time SMS sending and missed calls problems...
And I forgot to bookmark it ...
Don't know if this is the exact one you want but - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6
Cheers....
You are the best! That's exactly the post and instructions I have followed in the past. I bookmarked it now and won't lose
Thank you!
Just a thought, when I find something I seriously DON'T want to loose again, I have a file on my pc for all the info I need. I download the links and copy the info into a word doc so even if I have to re-install windows (loosing my bookmarks in the process) I still have the info I wanted to keep with all the necessary cabs and things I need....
Cheers...
PS - That file is now something like 25 gig.....
Thanks for the tip I used to use del.icio.us and then moved to ma.gnolia for my bookmarks.
I am upgrading to a 6800 tomorrow if all goes well. I have a 6700 right now and know about flashing, but my question is why is the titans process so much more complicated? On the 6700 I could just make the rom in the kitchen and go flashing away. The 6800 needs epst, specific bootloader upgrades and then specific radio files for a rom?
Am I missing something here? Is it just because of the gps?
nothing's complicated in that
ok first STOP saying that it's so easy to brick a 6800. The ROM and Kitchen that where build at beginning by DCD or any other where making phone possibly to brick.
Now the ROM, Kitchen, etc are made by Peoples who know what they do like or friend DCD. everything is so well explain on WIKI. I think after making so many test to brick my phones that if you BRICK your phone with a DCD ROM and others its because of a really really bad computer. Or you're try to brick it. I've try to flash ROM from other phone(no success-phone working), ....
the first time i've flash a ROM i was so afraid in that because Bricking a 600$ phone is making somebody mad. but i've discovered the case on my Mogul, my Vogue or my S720 that with Telus you just have to flash the Radio and the DCD ROM and soft reset and its done everything work SO EASY.
At now the way they builds there ROM or KITCHEN are so secure that its almost impossible to brick a phone.
TELUS
HTC Mogul
ROMCD 3.3.4
RADIO: 3.42.30 better time finding gps
HTC Vogue
ROM:Manilla Crystal based on a DCD VOGUE RoM
RADIO:3.41.00
HTC LIBRA (`GHOST PHONE`)
ROM:new telus wm 6.1 stock rom with some modif on .....
RADIO:.............. at now just getting a free way to acces cell tower for internet access IS WORKING, next step getting a way to access to make and receive calls.

I would imagine the biggest difference is that the 6800 has had many major software and firmware updates over it's lifecycle, and because when you make a massive change to the firmware (i.e. going from a 1.x or 2.x radio to a 3.x radio), enough gets overwritten that it's important to backup your settings, etc. Since 1.x and 2.x didn't have full GPS implemented, yes, GPS was a main reason for having to do the extra work. They also weren't written to support 6.1, so a new radio was required for that as well.
However, once this initial flash is done, all future flashes are very easy.
The SPL is required because HTC didn't want the phone to be easily flashable.
And it checked for signed image files. Signing an image without the private key is difficult so they cracked the bootloader to not require a signed image. This was a requirement to be able to flash a custom rom/radio.
BTC
It's my understanding that you could only brick your phone by installing a non-working bootloader. All other problems can be resolved.
Although I don't understand why the latest bootloader is non-working unless you've updated your radio. I don't think it's that complicated, but there aren't any clear and complete written instructions anywhere.
If flashing were easy, everyone would do it.
And then Verizon/Sprint, etc would have hundreds of thousands (vs probably just dozens) of customers calling or going to stores needing help fixing their screw ups.
That would make giving everyone else decent service an impossibility.
I'm all for the carriers making it difficult to flash phones.

I never said it was easy to brick. I know from reading the wiki that a lot of things are recoverable, however compared to my 6700 it is more complicated.
I simply asked because, knowing myself, I like to research and know things beforehand. It cuts down on the 'oh sh*t' moments. Thats the reason I got a 6700 2 years ago, and the reason I upgraded to a 6800.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

Stop right there -- just as the 6700 the potential steps involved for flashing are identical.
The differences are your sources for instruction.
It depends if you found a short-cut method that may leave people dangerously stumped in ignorance or a more comprehensive list of steps to cover nearly every contingency and prepare one with a foundation to recover to and options of what and how to flash. Myself and others have evolved the Wiki instructions to help everyone from n00bies to those recovering from flashing errors or incompatible OS/Radios ROM & SPLs. Comprehensive information shouldn't freak you out.

Well, flashed my 6800. Used latest DCD and the 50 radio that is compatible.
Can't see satillites in google maps, and I need to call tech support tomorrow because my phone apparently can't be authenticated. Everything I can see in EPST looks fine, and over air programming didn't work.
BUT, I can still call out. So it's a software issue that can be fixed. No brickage!
Otherwise it was painless. Very snappy now, although considering I upgraded from a 6700 just about anything would be eh?

Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL
I am stuck with the same thing.
If i could only geat a new HSPL for spl 3.03.0000

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

Use SSPL and it will install your Custom or Stock ROM without any problem.

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:

Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Downloading ...
looks like I am also stuck on bootloader with SPl 3.03,nothing I did helped so far,I had HSPL3,my stock Rom was 166.707.
any help is greatly appreciated.
OlDirty89 said:
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
