Just got Hermes vodafone with German language and successfully loaded hardspl and have it in supercid. Now i want to upgrade to english version, but i keep getting error 260. PDA stays in RGB mode and saying USB. If i disconnect the cable it switches to Serial.
I have tried to update with
vodafone 1.20.161.6 aku 2.3
vodafone 2.07.161.1 aku 3.3
htc 1.35.255.102 aku 2.3
they all report the same. Have tried rebooting computer as said in wiki, but no success.
i now use original
HERM200
ROM 1.20.126.3
RADIO 1.16.00.0
any idea?
Thanks
Are you sure it is a supercid? Write the SPL, can you boot os?
Yes, i can boot os fine.
SPL-1.40.Olipro
IPL-1.01
I did supercid procedure with success....at least i thoughts so. It's my fist upgrade, so anything is possible. I used HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a
Thanks
I have the same problem with my second-hand JASJAM. The only way I can flash ROMs on my phone is by using RUUWrapper and select force SSPL and this always works well.
COME ON people!!!
A simple search would have remedied this...its been a topic so many times now!
The reason the official RUUs wont work correctly is because of the fact that HardSPL has been loaded, hence the SPL version isnt recognised, you gotta flash the official .nbh file using CustomRUU.
But first update to the latest version of HardSPL (see the sticky thread).
When you run the customRUU program select your SPL version (or use autodetect) and off you go!.
EDIT:: to get you started, Hardspl is HERE.....flash it.
then open the RUU with winzip or winrar and copy over the .nbh file into a folder.
download CUSTOMRUU.....run it from that folder with your device synced over activesync....select your SPL and voila.
Silly fella's. Its alright though I used to make the same mistake. I think im better friends with the search feature on here than I am with my real friends. You can always rely on the the WIKI or the search.
Thanks for help mrvanx i manage to flash with no problems now.
Promise to read more wiki next time
My problem was the same described in this post (too recent SPL).
I similar problem only difference is now phone wont go out of boot mode as its not recognised by active syn or in the rom update procedure.
Please help urgently cannot restore phone...and i dont know how
If you have Hard SPl V7 installed, try to re-install the rom, or a different one using the sd card method.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into Hermies and reset into bootloader, hold power, OK button under flywheel and reset with stylus hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour (bootloader) screen.
3. Follow onscreen instructions...
Cheers...

Hi,
I just got my hermes / tytn yesterday and from the first hour on I try to get the device upgraded to wm6 or english (it came with a german image)
Here is the software versions i currently got on it after installing cid unlock and so on.
rom-version: 1.18.257.2
radio version: 1.16.00.00
protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
extrom version: 1.18.257.106
I tried to upgrade it with RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship
WM6_21005_GER_11500
The detection steps of the upgrade work fine. But as soon as the device boots in the bootloader it just stays at the 4 color screen with the following infos:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.10.Oli
It doesnt start the upgrade and after a while the program on the pc gives me a connectionerror.
Can you help me to track down the error? I read around the wiki and forums but couldnt find anyone with that error.
Thanks and regards,
Passi
EDIT: just to add: I also tried to install hard SPL7 which didnt work because I get the following error when I start the application on the hermes:
Datei oder Assemblyname'System, version=2.0.0.0,Cultur=neutral' Publictoken=.......
Anyone seen that before?
1. Make sure your XP computer has .NET v2.0 or later installed to use CustomRUU.
2. Upgrade to HardSPL latest version
3. Extract the NBH file from the upgrade (use winrar or 7zip) & flash it using CustomRUU.
ok, that worked now. Only problem now is that the radio version of the image i used wont work and my tytn is stuck at the htc screen now. It shows no gsm for about 1 second at the beginning. I will try to reflash another vendor image using the smartcard method in about 10 minutes. Hopefully that will work.
Thanks and regards,
Pascal
I tried using the flash with sdcard method but somehow it wont work. My bootloader is SPL-1.04. I copied an nbh file over to the card, renamed it to HERMIMG.nbh and reset the device to enter bootloader. It shows loading for a part of a second and then returns to regular bootloader screen.
Any ideas what could be wrong or what could be done to flash the image with the sdcard method?
Thanks for any help,
Passi
Edit:
after reformatting my sd card with my pc i finally got the bootloader to recognize the image. Sadly, still no success at all. The bootloader recognizes the flash file but then gets stuck at the checking.... point. Is there any way around that? Im really out of ideas.

Hi all,
i've found an alternative approach to flash any firmware on HERMES 200.
I had a problem while i was trying to upgrade my WM5 Vodafone 1605 to WM6.
My bootloader is SPL-1.09, and i've tried in many ways to install Hard-spl v7 but here is what was keeping happening:
- I try to flash my Hermes with hardSPL v7 and each time:
- Hermes switch to bootloader mode and display
HERM200
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM200
SPL-1.09.ds
- Activesync lose the connection
- Windows XP send popup with new USB device and ask me to install the new device (no idea of driver not found by default)
- RUUWrapper display error 260
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is the solution:
- Download the firmware u wish to install on your device
- Unpack the firmware (right-click and Extract)
- copy the .nbh file into you microSD card and rename it as: HERMIMG.nbh
- put SSPL-HERM.exe into you device (you can get this app in this site too)
- now put you microSD card into you device and run SSPL-HERM.exe
- enjoy
I'm just an unexpert user that has tried many times to upgrade his device reading other posts on this forum. So pls correct me if i've said something wrong!
I wrote this post just cause i was going crazy and i wasn't able to find a solution like this around the sites
Hope this help somebody!
PS: I'm sorry for my bad english!
RUUWrapper display error 260? try to disable your firewall, flash again, and you will see it works.
regards chief
i've got the same problem with my hermes...
i don't know how to fix...when i start the flashing process the device switches in the bootloader mode and then nothing else is happening, there is no connection to the pc. i tried to switch off the firewall, i changed the cable, i changed usb port but nothing happens...
does anybody know what i shall do?
its the same fault as anvillani describes, the only thing different is that i dont get herm200 but herm300
Do you guys do ANY research before trying this???
Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Go to page 116, post 1160 and READ it step by step, juymp ahead and this WON'T work. Just make sure you use a 2Gb or less sd card. INSTALL HARD SPL 1st.... Then you can use the sd card method (just skip the steps using sspl.exe as you should now have Hard SPL) to update your roms....
Cheers...
i really dont know what you want to say with this...
i tried the normal procedure to flash hard spl to my device and i tried the method anvillani suggested and both didn't funtion.
so my question is what i should do...
Follow the link and instructions in my previous post. It will allow you to install Hard SPL using the sd card method. You do need to be able to get to the today screen though.
After reading anvillani's post I'll add that the sd card MUST be 2Gb or less and has to be formatted FAT32. You have to name the .nbh file hermimg.nbh with NO speeling (sorry, spelling :b) errors or it won't work.
Cheers...
Hello,
I would like to upgrate Rom with this one: Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe
I installed Hard-SPL and now I have 2.10.olipro SPL version displayed in the bootloader (before I had 1.4).
Actually, in my Hermes300 I have installed :
WM6.0
ROM: 2.54.258.2
ROM date: 07/06/07 (DD/MM/YY)
RADIO: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
ExtROM: 3.54.258.102
I don't know if it is the original ROM upgrade from HTC website, because I'm not the firt owner of the phone.
Anyway, If I try to upgrade it by using autodetect mode an error occurs:"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL".
Why? What Do I have to do to have Upgrade? Maybe, is there still some kinda of "brand"? Which option should I have to select?
I want to use the most safe upgrading procedure to avoid brick.
P.s. I'm using Windows Xp.
Thanks!!
Pick safe SSPL..... Follow the instructions after OR use the sd card method.
Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh". Put it in phone and reset to bootloader. Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Find this safer than pc flash.
Cheers......
Thank you very much I will do it!
But I'd like to understand why autodetect mode doesn't work! Do u hava any ideas? Cannot I choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL choices? I'm a newbie in upgrading and I only understand that to avoi brick I should use HARD-SPL. If I use Force safe SSPL or SD card method can I have a brick?
How about if autodetect doesn't work because I have installed original ROM upgrade from HTC? It is possible?
Thanks.
No flashing method is a guarantee of success. Hard SPL isn't either, it just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone. If you interrupt a flash you will brick your phone but with Hard SPL its possible to fix. Except if you interrupt the radio rom portion of the flash. I think its OK to say that if you stuff up this part of the flash you won't be able to fix easily, if at all.
Most, if not all, cooked roms DON'T have a radio rom inside. ALL stock roms do.
This is why I said its safer with sd card method. You would have to physically reset the hermes in the middle of a flash to stuff it. With the pc, usb cables can be unplugged, reset buttons can be pushed and blackouts/brownouts do occur. Thats if Activesync doesn't throw a hissy fit and disconnect while trying to update....
>HARD-SPL just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone.
Ok, and by using SD CARD procedure is it the same?
I mean...now with HARD-SPL installed on hermes can I use every upgrading procedure to fix my phone (if possible)? Or to take advantage from that do I have to use a particular procedure?
Before writing here I read a post where another guy had my same problem and some people answered him to choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL. But u think is better by SD CARD.... .
Thanks, and I'm sorry for many questions!
Does Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe have a radio rom inside? I can upgrade only Rom without RADIO? If yes...how?
Thank you very much!
No, Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full doesn't have a radio rom. Look at the list of apps and tweaks included. It will tell you what radio version it has if it has the radio portion included...( this is for ANY cooked rom. The chefs work hard to make these and are rightly proud of their work.)
Here are the instructions for sd card flash again if you missed the first time
1). Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh".
2). Put it in phone and reset to bootloader - Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Its that easy when you have Hard SPL on your phone...
Cheera...
It worked very well. Thank u very much!
Sow if you don't have Hard Spl on your phone the SD flash method won't work? I have a spv m700 and coun't manage to install hard-spl.
Go to the last few pages of the Hard SPL thread - its a sticky - You'll find out how to install Hard SPL using the sd card method. Don't have to worry about sync errors with the PC then...
Cheers...
I have got Hard-SPL 2.60. Which one should I pick in the SPL Meny? I'm kinda noobish when it comes to this ...
I hope someone can help me , i ve tried a lot of roms, and i cant upgrade it, i also tried the sd flash , but it got stuck on the boot screen , could someone please help me, what should i do?
When i tried to install any firmware the progress stop at 11% and the Hermes only turn on in bootmode, any idea??

I had that problem and few more with my Hermes.
While it didn't help me, this suggestion by ultramag69 may help you...
Use the sd card method to flash a new rom, instead of a USB cable/Windows computer.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Hope this helps!
Just one other thing summoner, make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. Otherwise the ONLY rom I'd try flashing like that is the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. Its so the CID will be recognised and won't cause a brick.
rmorera84, unless you've installed Hard SPL V7 then find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM and flash that, anything else may permanently brick your Hermes.
If you have Hard SPL V7 (IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 oli) then flash what you like...
Cheers...
- Installed latested Orange rom, that I know of - SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007
- installed Hard SPL 7 & applied SIM unlock/super CID
- re-installed TNT TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
The result is:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose I should upgrading the radio rom now!?
I am told don't try fixing what isn't broken - and it is working. 3G iNet, Phone, WiFi, BT - all good atm.
Or is there a particular update I should still install?
Thanks!
SUMM0NER, you're using an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL. The Hermes is downgraded to SPL 1.40 when you sim/CID unlock your phone. Best idea would be to re-install Hard SPL V7. Its a later version that seems less prone to problems when flashing.
Go back to the Hard SPL thread and get Hard SPL V7. I had the same thing happen to me when I unlocked the Hermes, nearly cost me my handset.
The steps are unlock Hermes, Install Hard SPL then upgrade OS.
Cheers...
Do I need to re-apply the OS rom file?
I just reinstalled Hard SPL7, now shows as IPL-104, SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Thanks!
My hermes only work whit this rom:Schaps_WM6Pro_ESN_3.54b-0808_Full
Because whit any other rom they stuck at 11%.
This is the info or the phone:
IPL-1.01
Spl-1.40.Olipro
Whit the first rom the htc boot but the phone funtion don´t work.
rmorera84, refer to my last post.
SUMM0NER, no. You have loaded the os, the reason you put Hard SPL V7 is if you want to upgrade the radio rom (not a good idea unless you are experiencing problems) or wish to change the os. Just means recovery is easier than if you didn't have it.
Cheers...
Many thanks ultramag69.
rmorera84 what branding is your Hermes (ie: Orange M3100, T-Mobile Vario 2, Vodeaphone V1605 etc...)?
Can I assume your Hermes is working right now?
If it is download and install HardSPL V.7 (attached to the bottom of the first post!)
Ones done verify that it installed correctly by holding the OK & Power button and pushing reset for a sec. The screen should display the coloured bars and say towards the centre: SPL-2.10.Olipro
It´s Cingular 8525, i could install the HardSPL V.7, now what rom i can flash??
You didn't confirm if it is working right now!?
If it is not working, try one of the official WM5 Cingular roms from this list. If that worked apply HardSPL 7 and take it from there.
Ones you downloaded the Cingular rom update you will have to keep unpacking the .exe files until you come to the actual .NBH file (WinRAR works for me).
Then follow ultramag69's instructions on flashing the rom via memory card.
Works, now i have this info:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I download the official Cingular WM5 rom, but. i don´t know how install this rom by memory card, could you help me??
Excellent!
Try downgrading to the Cingular rom via USB. Just double click the EXE and follow the instructions.
To use the memory card method follow these steps...
0. unpack the .exe file containing the rom with Winrar (right-click exe then choose "Extract to...\")
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
The reason to use the memory card to upgrade a rom, rather than a usb cable, is to cut down on failed upgrades (dodgy Windows/usb port/usb cable/etc..).
All working? Try upgrading to a Hermes rom that didn't work previously.
Any rom you can find in the Hermes section. Go to the WM06 part of the forum, theres a sticky at the top with about 50 older roms and you'll find other roms there too (latest is wm6.5).
Cheers...
i install the official WM5 AT-T version the WM6 AT-T, but, i still whit the no-gsm problem, can i flash i radio? or what i can do??
You may not be able to fix this, if you know what the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM was and can find it, then flash that. It may not work, if it gets stuck at 11% - 17% mark it means the radio ROM is stuffed and the memory area is corrupted. Not fixable.
You could also try, if you know what it is, the original radio rom by itself. Again, if you can't get it to work, you have a PDA but won't work as a phone ever again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Im to having the same problem, it keeps going back to the 2.1.Olipro boot loader.
I tried the memory card option and it starts to install but then stops.
Does anyone have and sugestions?
Cheers

Hi, I got my Hermes 8525 in boot mode what i did is to install this Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full.exe now my hermes is working but i want to unlock it..what can I do cos everytime i try got in to boot mode again..any help tks.,..
Hi Guys
I need your help right now...
It's my first time I'm trying to flash my MDA VARIO II form WM 5 to WM 6.
I found this ROM here in the Board:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359917&highlight=Shamanix_WM6_Ultimate_v2_FINAL
I also installed HardSPL 7 Using this guide:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
And now I want to install the new ROM Using this Guide and the File above:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
But when I click Autodetect it says: Error! Unknown Version.
Sorry for asking so stupid questions but i am a bit confused right now and I really don't want to crash my phone, this would be a mess....
Can Anybody Help me?
And is there Anything else to look after? I read something about CID unlock in the wiki, is this done by installing HardSPL?
ty so far
DasEtwas
First i would suggest reading the wiki pages as you may find something that could help, also it may not be detecting it as you do need to press accept or yes to run something on your hermes. although if it doesnt detect it you can see what spl you are running (press ok, power and reset button together) from there you can select what version you have on your devise it will also check whether hard-spl worked.
Hope this helps and good luck
Hard SPL is installed and I read the wiki, but I don't get behind the CID^^
The question is: Is this ROM Above comaptible to my MDA Vario? And anyway what is this CID?
Ty so far
DasEtwas
If you downloaded it from the Hermes section then yes...
As you have Hard SPL V7(?) (check if SPL is 2.10 oli), try the sd card method...
1. Format sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader, Scotty93 told you how.
3. Follow the prompts...
Easy...
Yes I installed Hard SPL V7 and in the bootloader it says SPL 2.10 olipro.
I will try the method now *Wish me good luck*
ty so far
