well i did the silly thing and did a flash upgrade on my atom exec to WM6 v7
it went 100% restarted fine
but now!!!!! im stuck on the align screen it doesnt listen to my taps, if i move my fingers all over the screen it eventually pick it up but it isnt accurate enough so keeps restarting the test align session... HELP PLEASE i have meetings comming up and need this phone
i can get into boot loader mode but when i connect phone to laptop it doesnt connect active sync while in bootloader mode...
can i skip this screen align somehow
You are not suppose to upgrade the EXEC with the ROM .
Check out the WIKIPEDIA ATOM solutions page for assistance.
I think therz a way to get back to the ORIGINAL ROM , ask a SENIOR for help also search the forums for older posts , i remember someone with ths same problem as yours
really? i just ran the utility here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333165
without making any changes to it
how do i go back to original pleaseeee help someone... if i got in boot loader mode and run the same upgrade utility (as linked above) it lets me click upgrade but then quickly says connection failed and then my bootroom reads:
"please use DSUU in OS mode and sync with PC first!!!
where do i get original and how do i do it please... maybe there should be a sticky for stuff ups like this
wow no one is kind enough to help... ive tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331818&page=1
but it freezes on 6% and i took the advise read in the wiki to hard reboot then run DSUU , and it does the same thing (stuck at 6%)
well now i have the wm5 starting but its stuck again on the tap the screen? ignoring my taps...
could it be my screen is stuffed? although it worked before the flash
okay !!! progress!!!! ....'
ive finally called o2 and put their rom and it works to a certain point, the align screen detects my taps but it just keeps repeating over n over n over asking me to keep taping around the screen???
Hard Reset
I think hard reseting it once should solve the issue...........if it doesn't try reflashing it once again.....worked for me............brute force is needed sometime
no i figured its screwed my digitzer somehow so im asking for calibration data in other post
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

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
I was using my HD2 the other day for both Android and Windows mobile (Stock ROM). I had no problems with it at all, and at this particular time, had it on WM, but when I took it out of my pocket to use it I noticed there was nothing but a white screen. I tried restarting and I still get nothing but that same white screen.
I'm able to access the bootloader and it shows as having HSPL installed, though any attempt to install a ROM leaves it stalled at 0%. I can update the LEOimg.nbh through the storage card, but as soon as it's done and I restart, i'm right back at that white screen.
I feel like i've tried absolutely everything to attempt to fix this, and I wouldn't clog up the forum with another thread if I wasn't absolutely lost. If anybody could help me with this, I would hugely appreciate it as I can't be without a phone for too long, and being unable to remove HSPL means I can't take it back to the store.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Phone appears to have fixed itself now.
A while ago I was looking for ways to install a custom rom to my HTC Titan (europian)
i have downloaded this file:
htcfanboys<dot>com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=10777 (i,m not yet allowed to post links)
and accidentally clicked on 'romupdateutillity' (...1_spl025/titan) when my phone was connected in usb mode (I don,t know the right word for it but it was in the screen that you get when you start up with pressing [volume up]+[volume down]+[on/off].
at this point an installer immediatly starts and it starts to install the program on my phone.
I let the phone finish and form this point forward it wont start up, butt simply keep hanging in the white/green HTC screen.
I figured it could be smart to finish the installation while I was at it so I also runned 'DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL' in the 2_HSPL folder.
After this it still wouldn't start up.
I am a pretty upset at this moment and I wonder if there's anything I can still do to fix my telephone.
here's the information that I could get form the phone:
PI39110
HSPL2.5. 160015.3(137079)
eMMC SMS 15028MB,FA32
cotullaH(F:81,ID:1,V11,B:F8)
Radio-16.23.06.10
I don,t really know what it al means but this is the information it gives in the USB screen.
As you probably guessed: i,m fairly new to this kind of things. so if you would know an answer to this problem i,d appreciate a simple step-by-step procedure to get my phone up and running again.
i,m verry sorry for my bad vocubalary.
Guus
EDIT: the firmware that was installed before this happened was the latest (i taught 7.10....
I fixed it,
Hi everyone! As stated in the title my phone(p769) wont boot completely, I was in the middle of doing the bootloader unlock when I accidecntly replaced the bin during the root process of it with the wrong bin. Instead of replacing it with the v6 tmobile usa one I used the v5 canadian one. Now when I boot my phone up the lg screen is there and then eventually it just hits an android with a red exclamation point. I've tried Re-flashing while its in s/w upgrade mode with the flasher set to emergency, and Ive tried pressing the home button + vol down + power to no avail(it goes through the process but the same thing happens)
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance!
Edit: Also when I try to reflash, it just says it cant communicate with my phone. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times but seeing as how I cant acutally get into the phone Im not sure what else to do.
Edit 2: So ive been trying do something witht his for the past three hours and I cant get anywhere with it. I cant get the phone to show up as an adb device while its in s/w upgrade mode, and at the red exclamation point screenit shows up but as recovery and the lg tools fail to communicate with it. I would really appreciate if anyone knew how to deal with this.
Just in case anyone stumbles upon this and has the same issue I would like to say that i finally got mine fixed.
It has been a long day of frustrations but I finally got it there with the help of some awesome tutorials.
In order to fix it I had to fastboot my phone and flash the default loader and boot then my device would show up in my adb devices and I could sucessfully flash and root it.

I followed the fastboot tutorial and searched around in the help forum for people with similar issues and found a post where lelus posted both of the files I needed to flash with fastboot, from there I just put my phone in s/w upgrade mode and followed Lelus guide for root/flash
