This is my first post, though I've been pouring over the forums everyday for a few weeks to try to get up to speed. You may notice that my join date is quite recent, but I only recently signed up! I finally replaced the broken usb port last night and then flashed wm6 from htc onto my hermes. This morning I've been trying to install Hard-SPL-V7, which failed, then I successfully ran the SIM/CID unlocker, and finally tried to run HERM-SSPL which failed. What seems to be happening is that after syncing and running RUUWrapper.exe the device goes to the bootloader screen:
Code:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
But doesn't do anything else, and then the PC reports a disconnect error. I think that the device is supposed to reboot after going to the bootloader, but it doesn't. I have noticed that shortly after going to the bootloader, it flashes a white screen with red text, and then returns. It's so fast I can't read the text. After the error prompt on the pc (vista), I soft-restart the device and it returns to the today screen where everything appears to be normal.
What am I doing wrong? I read the guide for installing the hard-spl. RUU_signed.nbh is in the same directory on the pac as RUUWrapper.exe. The device isn't bricked. I'm stumped.
I appreciate any and all help. I know it's painful to keep answering the same questions over and over again, so I promise that I've been searching for an answer in the wiki and on the forums.
Also, thank you for these utilities, roms, forums, etc. It's amazing that so much is being accomplished by apparently so few.
***UPDATE***
More information is always better...
After wmdc is connected I run RUUWrapper.exe
I check Force using SSPL and go through the prompts...
Code:
From:
Image Version : 3.62.502.3
To:
Hard-SPL-2.10
The device goes to the SSPL as opposed to the SPL, I think, and displays this:
Code:
HERM100
IPL-SSPL
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
Then the pc prompts 'Verifying ...'
The device stays one the bootloader screen, and then the pc prompts:
Code:
ERROR[260] UPDATE ERROR
When I soft reset the device, it comes up to the today screen, and going to the bootloader displays this:
Code:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
OK, I think I know what's going on.
I thought that I had gone through installing the vista x64 drivers from the guide but I hadn't. It doesn't matter much though as vista x64 really doesn't like unsigned drivers. I've not been able to get past that. So the issue was that vista x64 can't sync with hermes in bootloader mode. OK, fine, I guess that I'll be working with XP. Why oh why did I decide to try vista x64...
Has anyone else found a solution to this?

Id stay clear of vista when trying to do flashing stuff....it REALLY just messes with all aspects of the process, regardless of if the WMDC is up to date.
Best thing to do is to get 32bit XP fired up and use that its just so much easier and everything else you use wont have to be patched/tweaked to behave on XP. LOL my vista config guide should really be a sly 'Uninstall vista, format and install XP SP2......guide'.
when you ran the SIM/CID unlocker, did you run it from your Storage card or did you use your usb to install? i think i had a similar issue. it would always give me the error 260. First, i sim/cid unlock my phone via storage card and it said unlocked and everything, but it still gave me the error 260. then i decided to just try to SIM/CID unlock via USB and when i did that, i didn't get the error 260 but instead it updated to Hardspl v7. hope that makes sense.

Thank you both for the responses. I ended up going home and flashing on my xp machine. Our new work machines are 64bit and I had several options for os, and silly me, I thought vista x64 sounded like a good idea. It's been a challenge.
Anywho, hardspl is installed! I also flashed the black 3.0 wm6 rom, though my keymapping is strange for the additional key functions. I'm off to research an answer on that. Thanks!
Would it be possible to install virutal PC on vista 64-bit and just run a virtual instance of 32-bit xp? I guess my real question is whether it is possible to flash the phone from a virtual pc.
-thanks.
hi,
Yes, it is possivel , i do it, i recomend you using VMware soft, because virtual pc doen't have USB support.

Ok, I've been trying to update my 8525 for hours...here is my problem. First, I tried to HardSPL-v7 but I kept getting an "Error [240] File open". I think this is preventing me from doing any ROM update. When I try to run the Cingular ROM update activesync shuts down and I get a connection error, I think it is "error [260]". I have wiped or cleaned out my 8525 so that I am back to day one. I have tried both ROM updates on 2 separate computers and I get same error messages on both computers. I have searched the Wiki's but have found nothing, so please help. As you can tell, I am a virgin to ROM updates so please go gently.
I should add, my present ver. ROM AKU 2.3 (1.34.502.7018.01H) SPL 1.06 IPL 1.01. Radio is 1.16.
have you taken a look at my Safe WM5 Upgrade Guide??
If you follow this guide EXACTLY, you should be fine.

I have, I have even tried the mtty "fix" but I had problems with that as well. I get a modem connection screen but there is nothing about a USB connection.
Bit more info would be nice, which ROM are downloading, and where from??
Also what procedure are you doing to update?? EXACT info please.

Ok, I just tried it 2 more times, Hard-SPL. It flashes to the 8525 and goes into bootloader and shows the following "HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds" at this point activesync 4.5 shuts down the 8525 is stuck in bootloader (it never reboots) and after a few minutes I get "Error [260] Upated Error". Hard SPL shuts down and the 8525 is stuck in bootloader mode. At this point I have been disconnecting the USB cable and doing a soft reset, once the phone is on, I go into bootloader and the old info shows up SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01.
Let me have a think, firstly do you have the latest versions of the .net framework installed?
I was able to finally run HardSPLv7, I had to do it on another computer. Now, I would like to update to RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe. I assume I should use the same computer that I used to successfully run HardSPL. Do I need to rebuild the rom file with RUUWrapper.exe (CustomRUU by olipro) & Dutty's Good NBH Tool, before running the RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe update?

Off hand, the major difference would be Intel (worked) vs. AMD (failed) but I doubt that is the problem, you would be flooded with questions due to so many computers that have AMD chips. The USB cable was the same as well. I'll have to think about that...
Definatly check your "failed" computer is up to date with .net and everything else, most likely a software problem.
I have this problem as well..
AT&T 8525 windows moble 6 trying to install the hardspl v7.
v3.5 and 3.0 .net framework.
the RUUwrapper program gets to the 'verifiying info' screen then give me an erroe 240 message. 'the update utility can not open the requested file.'
any help would be great. Looking to add the touch it interface.
thanks,
Mike
Read the post Hard SPL at the top of this forum and go to page 116 ( I believe its post #1160) and use the sd card method. You don't need to use the pc at all. I generally flasah ALL os's using the sd card method as it seems to be safer then using the usb method. No "sync errors" to deal with.
Cheers...
I have the exact same problem..
When it goes to tri-color screen, the USB connection goes off and windows will pop up the search for driver dialogue box.. then afterward another dialogue box will appear saying Error [260].
I tried restarting my pc and device (even removing the battery) but still failure
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I loaded it thru the sd card just as the post above suggested. It loaded the hardspl just fine. My PPC seems to run faster as well.
Thanks for the help! it is much appreciated.

One thing that i have learned from flashing my 8525 is to remove any USB device except the 8525. This has worked for me.

But my mouse is on USB. I might try on different computer and post back the results.
UPDATE
I tried using my friend's laptop and it installed without a problem. I think the issue is with the .NET framework. I installed the latest one before flashing and it worked fine. Hmmm.. Im not sure about this tho.
Hello.... Try the sd card method. You don't need the computer...
Sorry if I sound condescending, but, I seem to find a lot of people saying that they have sync problems. Solution, Take the pc out of the equation (except to load files onto sd card). It is SOOO much safer then using the pc, no "sync" problems, no chance of usb being disconnected, reset button being hit or , worst case scenario, power failure...
You have to either have little or no battery power or MANUALLY hit the reset button with the stylus to stop the flash...
And thats my 2 cents....
Refer to post #13 to find out how to use sd card method to flash hard spl...
Cheers...
sd card method???
how?
I recently purchased a SPV M3100 after reading many great reviews on this device.
I have just unlocked it using the HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker v3a using my old Windows XP laptop and it works great (I've tried using my Vista ultimate 64 computer earlier it didn't work).
I am now interested in upgrading my SPV M3100 to latest software available from Orange or the WM6 roms available on this site like Black Dymond, really keen in seeing its potential.
I have read through the Hermes upgrading forums carefully and made sure all is done properly. I have even read through the Mr Vanx step guides in upgrading.
First I decided to use the Orange update from their website.
After making sure the USB cables are connected correctly and allowing the WMDC to sync I proceeded to run the update.
I followed each step and tick the boxes. The phone goes into the tricolour mode or bootloader screen with the following on the screen:
Herm100
IPL-1.01
Herm100
SPL-1.40
On the computer, the window 'verifying your device' is on for few minutes, after this a new window appears indicating: ERROR 260 - update error
This happens again and again, day after day, I have soft reset the device, rebooted the computer, tried both the XP and vista computers, check the usb cable and connections, did everything that is said in the forums, but nothing....
I have even attempted to use the HardSPL program and followed the process to load the black dymond, but same message appears.
Must note that after soft resetting the device the phone returns to its original state, so no harm done. but no upgrade....... Damm...
Help... Any ideas ...... Please....
Many thanks
Danny

Update your WMDC to the latest version.
Then try again
Thanks for your prompt reply...
I thought when I originally installed the WMDC was the latest version as I have downloaded it from the Microsoft windows mobile website....
I have downloaded the appropiate Vista 64 version for my vista machine and the appropiate xp version for my xp laptop...
Did you download the latest version...are you sure??
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
Same problem -> Error 260 if I try to upgade.
Hi
I hve the same issue. Tried on Windows XP and Vista.
Also downlaoded the latest WMDC.
Could that be something with the area code?
I'm in Norway.
For XP should you not be using ActiveSync 4.5?
I re-flahed my M3100. The first attempt it failed, it then recovered itself and the second attemp was successful.
Im sure I have, just downloaded the other day, anyway I have downloaded it again just now, installed it, connected my phone and allowed the sync process to complete. I run the orange update again and still the same message..... Error 260: update error
What SPL version do you have?
To check press and hold BOTH the side ok button and the power button, then insert the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the device.
I have SPL 1.40 Olipro
So i take it you havent read or searched on this error, the orange RUU cannot recognise your device because you have anewer SPL version (HardSPL)...ffs dude had you told us that fact it would have saved you PLENTY of time. You posted you had SPL version 1.40...................you SHOULD have said you have already updated to HArdSPL (1.40.olipro)
follow my Safe WM5 Flashing Guide to get it done.
Sorry if I have wasted your time. I thought that I included the my phone details (SPL and rom etc) on my original message.
I have searched for this error, but I gather I wasn't getting anywhere...
So I thought I would ask for some help and advice....
Anyway thanks for replying with your help. I will check your link straight away.
If I still have problems, I hope it would be ok to ask in this thread.
Thankx Mr Vanx for all your help.
It is now working. I've loaded the WM6 Black IV Shadow rom.
Do you know when there will be a 3G / video dialer for this rom.
Many thanks
Hi MRVANX, i also have the same SPL and my radio is not working. I tried to open the link that you have pasted but the link is broken. Can you please share the info here or on my email address "[email protected]"
I've been trying to figure this out... is it possible to run Olipro 2.4 on Vista 64? I keep getting error messages that it does not work, but am I missing something?
Hi jondixon:
In my experience, I recommend you to update your HTC MOGUL PPC-6800 only under Windows XP-SP2 with Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
I run my HTC MOGUL PPC-6800 under Windows Vista-64 bits-SP1 with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.6965 but it's only for Sync with Outlook 2007

SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800
ROM version: dcd 3.0.1
Radio version: 3.35.04

While I do prefer XP for flashing, I have used Vista Ultimate x64 without any issues to do so as well.
I'm using Vista 64 Ultimate and I've updated my phone numberous times. Succesful every time.
I'm using Vista 64 Ultimate and olipro wouldn't even run. Why?
Same thing here. Vista Ultimate X64. cant use olipro, had to do it on my work pc which is xp 32 bit. but other flashing is no problem at all.
it is because the sleep4 command is 16bit which is not allowed to to run on 64 bit os
just edit the cmd file in a text editor and replace sleep4 with pause
now it will pause when it runs which means you have to hit enter to continue which should be enough a delay
i just did this exact same thing tonight without issue
Wow MrTek.. that worked...
But i had already done it on an XP32 system before I read your siguestion... damn... i could have not botherd the neighbor for his PC afterall.....
Yeah i wish someone would rewrite sleep4 in x32.....
Also.. its not that its "not allowed" its that its totally UNABLE to... due to the x64 CIA (figure it out urself..)

Just wanted to say, this worked for me as well. I was able to install Olipro 2.40 from Vista 64-bit with this work around.
you should unlock under XP/activesync. Flashing on vista x64 is fine, works great, but I didnt try very hard to run the unlocker under vista when I had an XP machine to install activesync on once and never touch my mogul with again.
On second thought, adjust the .bat as instructed above and dont worry about it. As I said, didnt try very hard.

For the utils we use, Vista 32 is fine.
flash numerous times with vista home premium no probs at all
how do you edit the cmd file in a text editor. can i please have step by step instructions.
My laptop is XP and desktop 64 for situations like this. I actually did ALL of my flashing via my laptop, didn't know until this thread I could still do it with 64.
Why not just run NueTools SPL Unlocker? Then you can get it all done from the phone and not having to worry about Vista or XP or whatever else...

i would but i only have one microsd card and i might mess it up.

AWESOME!!! Thanks for the help... I think I just successfully unlocked my alltel Vogue on Windows Vista 64! Did exactly what MrTek suggested... Alot of "hit any key to continue..." but it worked! I might have the same roaming problem that many people experience but hopefully I can fix that. Thanks a bunch! Now for some ROM cooking...
UPDATE: Solved the roaming issue by updating my prl (preferred roaming list)...
1. Dial *228
2. Hit option 3
3. Wait for phone to program and restart.
(I believe this can only be done while on an Alltel tower, or whichever carrier you happen to use.)
I run Vista and have "upgraded" the USB Drivers and followed the guide that should enable you to upgrade your devise in Vista as described elsewhere on this forum.
I put my Qtek in BootLoader Mode, put it in the crade and checked that the writing changes from Serial to USB and execute the HimaUpgradeUT_noID.exe from the [titipan.net]Hima - Helmi AKU3.5 ROM SP2.
After a while I get a "Cant Connect " error.
Now heres the "fun" part. If I just execute the file without going into Bootloader I get as far as the "Upgrading your Device" Screen. After a couple of minuts without anything happening I get the "Error 101".
Am I doing something wrong here or do I need additional Upgrading of Vista to be able to upgrade my device from WM2003 to WM5?
you can search around the forum for upgrading using vista as things with vista seem to work differently then xp
or you can try and get access to an xp pc to upgrade with
Hi Guys.
I just got a Fuze after waiting since June and I'm proud to say it's my first smartphone. So I wanted to put a cooked ROM on it and I figured out that I need to use Hard SPL for any ROM.
When I go to update the ROM with Hard SPL it goes to the progress bar on my computer and the device starts the enterbootloader.exe program. However, the second that enterbootloader.exe starts and the device goes black, I lose my connection to my PC. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan
Which OS?
What OS are you using? It my not have any significance, but with my old AT&T 8125 (HTC Wizard), I could only successfully flash my ROMs using ActiveSync with Windows XP.
Every time I would try to do it with Mobile Device Center in Vista, I would lose connection as well. I don't really use XP anymore, so I now use VM Ware to boot virtually to XP whenever I flash my ROMs.
I'm using vista, and when I installed Hard SPL I ran the SSPL (Soft SPL) and it did make my screen black. However, windows still picked up a different driver and I was successfully able to write the HardSPL while the screen was black.
im using windows 7 so that may be the problem lol
