After i did the hardspl and upgrade to WM6.1 i have 2 serious problems. The first: when the battery is less than 20% and do or accept calls, after some seconds the pda reboot when i speaking. the second: i can send but can't recieve data via bluetooth connection. the beam is activate and the pda discoverable. even pair the device it can't receive anything!!!
ipl 2.20
spl 2.G3.4PDA
rom transform 1.1
Can these problems fix??? If not how to downgrade to the previous spl? I tried with pdaviet but nothing. thank you...
First, Transformer 1.1 isn't a WM6.1 ROM but WM6.0.
Your problems are reported before, but in almost all cases one or two hard resets did the job. If not try another more clean ROM and see if you still have the same trouble.
Remember, the Prophet is a delicate device and very sensitive for all kind of fluctuations during flashing. So don't expect it to be as stable and universal as your desktop PC. If it don't suceed the first time, just do it again...

I have had the same problem with some other versions of WM6, posted here, also I tried to change RadioROMs and come back to WM5 - the result was the same like yours. Then I decided to replace my battery with the new one and it worked!!! Even is told that Li-Ion batteries do not have memory effect, looks like it is other way around...
Try to replace the battery.
i had the very same problem with my battery. just went off at 20%. i have gone back to wm5 for a while now. the problem remained though. therefore i bought a new (not original) battery. but strangely, this one starts showing this behaviour too, although only at 6%.
what the f**k is this??? does it have anything to do with cracking the hard spl???
why do you guys let the battery drain so much? just recharge the battery, don't let it fall that low....
anyway, my 2c.

thanks for your advice! but i have tried also with "shadow my edition 2" by varavusvincent and "shadow 2.0 ce" by cloudyfa which are wm6.1 roms. no results!!! the roms are stable, i think the problem isn't on this. i think something go wrong with the spl. i have done hard reset again and again but the same problem. the transformer1.1 is very stable(i worked on it 6 months +) and i hadn't any problem with this rom before. how can i do downgrade to previous spl?
i extracted official spl 2.15.0001 (g4) from the latest o2 update (germany). so if anybody is interested, i can upload it. but it is G4 ONLY.
i reverted to wm5 and spl 2.15 myself having some very, very strange behaviour with my old battery. i tried the procedures suggested by rondol1. now everything SEEMS to be in order. but i have not discharged my battery completely. i will report back what happened.
cheerio.
I don't know in detail what the SPL does alltogether, so I can't confirm if the mentioned problem are (or can be) related to the HardSPL installation. But according to several posted solutions regarding the battery, it seems that there is definitly a relation on that issue.
To install a "normal" SPL, you can flash an original ROM from your vendor, but then everything will be bach to factory default. You can also take advantage of the offer from Chriskay above...

All rite here we go, in advanced i thank u guys for trying to help me out here.
First, i'm a n00bie compared with the most of u guys.
My Device:
Tytn Herm 300
OS: Schaps Purple 3.30c
SPL: Hard-Spl 2.10 oli
Radio: 1.16.00.00 !Hmzz...that's the problem!
My phone functionallity sucks...some how it keep loosing connection while i see the phone indication bar up to 3 bars. So i decided to do something about it.
Beeing a noob i thought it got to do something with the OS. So i upgrade it to Schaps's wonderfull purple WM6 Hermes 3.30c and loaded the Hard SPL 2.10 oil V7. All went great, and my Hermes never looked so cool before.
But now i'm trying to upgrade my radio, which is still version 1.16.00.00, to what ever better version. I tried every radio upgrade possible from this list:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...actedRadioRoms
Every single one starts well. passed the information retrieving from my phone. Confirmed the update, and then there was the installation progress bar....
All versions of the radio roms i downloaden get stuck in here. It doesn't even start..0% and error... And really i dun have any idea why.
So after re-flashing a gazillion times, i decided to ask help to the allmighty XDA community. So pls, if anybody there got a suggestion or the solution...i would be so thankfull and will slaughter a goat to worship you
If you've got schaps Rom and HardSPL on your phone then you obviously don't have problems flashing or with PC/phone comms.
When you try flashing the radio, how long do you wait before deciding it doesn't work? I've found that some of them can take what seems like a really long time and I'm tempted to unplug and start again.
Maybe try again, then go make yourself a cup of tee/coffee or get a beer then come back 10 minutes later. If the upgrade still hasn't worked we'll have to look a bit deeper

I waited till the Program says connection error...and send me to recovery proces. And i've been making hella tons of coffee after trying to flash that many Radio Roms. Any other suggestions? I'm so desperate
Ok, maybe some more info...
Do you see 'NO GSM' during the phone boot process?
Do you have no radio at all or just intermittent reception?
Are you running Vista?
What is the connection error number?
If you've lost the radio but have hard SPL it may just be a case of re-flashing an original manufacturers ROM (which will include the radio) then start your upgrading again afterwards. Don't forget to back-up data before flashing.
If you do flash a manufacturers shipped rom - check that you still have HardSPL afterwards.

Well the weird part is "No GSM" appeared occasionally...some times it shows it sometimes it's not showing it.
No...i'm a Vista hater. And dun have the original manufacturers ROM. I've got the "T-Mobile Vario II" from The Netherlands..so if anybody got a link for the original version i'd be thankfull.
The Radio it self is intermittent and very inpredictable...for example:
Radio indicator says i got full recieve:...but i can't call or recieve any.
Connection error: 262 (which is, if i'm not mistake a connection error.) Which is bull cuz i'm re-running every other ROM's upload with the same way and succeded/
Radio indicator says no reception and shows an exclamation mark:...and my GF just called me to hurry up and pick her up :/
But the weird part is...it seems that my radio ROM is locked somehow. I can upgrade or downgrade SPL's and OS ROM's but not the Radio ROM.
I've tried to use MTTY by now and followed the manual bellow: (Problem 5)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5
But it began with invalid password. Procede as written and it didn't helped.
More suggestions are welcome
My bad...i didn't looked well enough. It is saying No GSM the whole time.
More information:
I've checked the Device information on the Hermes now some information are blank:
Radio: Blank
Protocol version: Blank
IMEI: Blank
All other information field are filled. Been spending hours reading tutorials and manuals...and nothing. HELP!
OK,
This isn't a problem I've had myself, but loads of other people have and there are quite a few threads on how to unbrick from here... you're going to have to do a bit of reading.
This page shows the different combinations of OS/radio/brick type etc and should point you in the right direction for the correct course of action http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Then read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 . It's got really long but read the beginning where POF describes the types of problem and also the solutions. Then it's probably best to jump to somewhere near the end and pick someone who has a similar problem.
It sounds to me as though you need to just flash a radio in nbh format, but please do some more reading before you do this to check my advice - as I said at the beginning, I haven't had this problem so I'm only giving advice from what others have written.

I am really thankfull of ur post. Unfortunately, i've been doing some reading. Including the link u gave me. The problem is that i can't upload/flash Radio in nhb format.
As i described in the first place, i can't load a nhb format radio in RUUWrapper.exe properly. It can start the proces..but it always end up with a connection error code 260/262 during the installation progres bar (0%).
The solutions some ppl tried in ur link is often not my case. And the similar cases i have tried where i end up with the same grumpfy situation.
have you tried to flash the radio using the SD card method? I too have a cable connection problem but I fear mine may be hardware failure.
Yap...and no luck
Hi to all. I solve my problem. Change myself motherboard. I buy second hand hermes with no working keyboard for 100eu (latter I solve even this problems,bad contact on flat cable)) and change the motherboard to my spv m3100. It's stupid to say that I solve this with some software, it's was hardware
faulty (or maybe not???) and I am very happy, because I can use my hermes again.
Now I have a one, my "old" motherboard (hermes) who working like pda, wi-fi and bluetooth also working, but without gsm. If any wish to do some experiment I am here, waiting for instruction. Also, I add some picture from the phase of changing motherboard.
Information for "experimental" hermes:
HERM 200
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.30.Olipro
Rom version:Schap's 4.00
Rom Date: 10/15/07
Radio version: none
Protocol version: none
ExtROM version: 3.60.20070822
No cid, no imei, can't flash radio (stuck in 0%)
Can't flash OS which contains radio (stuck in 12-13%)
Regards for all on this forum.
Hi,
how are you?
do you know is it possible to replace just radiochip to fix our hermes??
How I see, in "home made" it's not possible, because we don't have a special equipment for that operation. Even if you have, but where you can found this famously radio chip? If you wont, I can open my "experimental" Hermes and make a picture of all chip and send to you, but I think that on ftp you have all manuals and pictures with the name of each part. I use this manuals to safely open my hermes and myself change the motherboard.
If I understand you, your hermes working like PDA, without gsm. Do you have a same problem, that devices turn off yourself and until soft reset they don't wont to wake up? Also phone function working very slowly, sometimes it's not possible to activate connection manager...etc
And if you agree, please to continuing disscusion on this thread. Thank's.

yes,i have same problem(but when i downgraded it to wm5 it works better and faster!).and like you I still have hope that it's not a hardware problem and wish to find solution.next week I will send my PDA to a serviceman to know what is his idea (maybe it'll work).

Ok , i've joind the club of "no gsm" 3 months ago . and i've tried many many roms and radios and still no luck .
but in one try i've succeeded in flashing the radio to 100% and the radio worked very well and that night was 5 in the morning i danced on the desk when i saw it . i just couldn't belive it . i called my hermes 20 times from another mobile to hear the defult stupid WM5 ring tone , i missed it really
any way i couldn't believe my eyes , so i tried to do a hard reset to check if the radio will stay or go , it just vanished and again back NO GSM . i was disappointed really .
here's the way it succeeded with me and i was gonna post it for every one else as a solution but it happened with me once , and now it wont pass 0% .
here we go .
1.flash you device with GM360 gold edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329282 don't ask why just try it .
2.after the phone is flashed with gm360 and working ok with no radio or "no gsm" messege now you should flash your phone with your device manufacturer WM5 ROM .
3. to flash WM5 rom you need to follow mr.vanx guide for safe WM5 downgrade . http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?...27&Itemi d=26 here it is .
4. now after you've flashed WM5 successfully and your device is also working fine with it but still no radio or "no gsm" . you need to flash only radio to your device . no OS only the radio .
5. download this radio . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697 and unrar it on some folder . and don't flash it yet to your device .
6 download Olipro RUUwraper 5.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737 there u go.
7. now the files from step "5" which they are the radio 1.54 put the file ruuwrapper from step "6" in the same folder with them to start the radio upgrade using "RUUWrapper.exe" not "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" . when u run it you will have multiple choices , choose "Force Unsafe SSPL (not recommended)" . .
now the radio upgrade should go smoothly as it went for me the first time . after the radio upgrade is done u should be able to use ur radio fine .
now can some one take half the effort of me writing this long method and try it ? thanx for the feedback also .
good luck for all .

i guess it was my one last lucky chance , and i blew it up with hard reset .
anyway the only solution right now for no gsm is to change motherboard unfortunatley
Nudge!!! :S
I lost my Radio today, also the IMEI is gone.
This morning it was working and this afternoon it just stopped, tried a hard reset, still nothing. Just tried to flash 1.54, but that didn't work, now trying 1.51 and i see the progress bar, but it stays at 0%
I will leave it this way at my computer and come back later, but it looks the radiorom is broken
I can flash everything except the radiopart, i really seems broken, i've tried flashing with different SPL versions including 2.60 olipro en SSPL.
Also the phone seems to be a lot slower.
But prior to this all the phone did hang often for the last few weeks, so i guess it was already starting to breakdown
i also have a almost similar experience, can anyone verify that the phone is already breaking down??

What exactly is your problem? I've been noticing that about 70% of my calls fail or hang when I attempt to dial, when I try again they usually go through. I also have problems sending txt messages very often. Is my phone on its way out? I haven't even had this phone for a year.....pisses me off

My phone started to hang a lot last week, just for a minute and then come back again, also losing the phone connection. First i thought it was some software i installed. New rom, problem stayed the same.
And then yesterday i totaly lost the radio part, can't flash it in any way, but the phone still seems a lot slower then normal, like it's still looking for the phone part or something
I gues it's just broken, and as it is older then a year, i gues it is really trashed.....
So i think i'm gona buy a new accu for my old phone, my abbo ends in aug 2008, so no new phone before then
Several months back, I was looking to upgrade my G3 Prophet (Imate Jamin). I had one serious problem with all the WM6 ROMs I've tried, as well as with Aserg's3.3 ROM.
The phone will intermittently not recieve calls. The caller is quickly diverted to voice mail, and I get no ring, no notification of a missed call, and no message waiting indicator. As a surgeon who's on call a fair amount, this was unacceptable. Problems with contacts or wifi settings I could work through.
I went from Fantastic Mobitz 1.1i to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3 to Aserg 3.3 without resolution. I have tried Radio ROMs 2.20.21, 2.47.21, 2.61.21, and 2.69.21 without success in all of them.
In the end, I downgraded to the latest shipped WWE ROM, which was AKU 2.2. This has been fairly stable, but as I look at the newest Touch ROMS, I can't help but feel a new case of ROM envy coming on.
Has anyone had the same problem with the early Crossbow ROMs? If so, has it been fixed in the later ROMS? I know there are lots of people out there who have never had any missed call problems, so my question is only for those few people like myself who missed calls with early versions of WM6. Was this fixed in later versions? Specifically, which ones?
Much thanks,
Alan
Gave in to the temptation.
After waiting a few days for a reply, I couldn't resist - I flashed Prophet Touch X when it became available.
I love the ROM - Fast, nifty touch features, Cube, etc.
However, I still have the same problems - I frequently and intermittently do not receive calls, there is no missed call indicator or missed phone numbers showing.
Does anyone know the cause or a fix? I can't bear the thought of going back to WM5!

Which rom do you use for step 1 ? try to flash with another NVID Flash step 1 or PV_temp then flash to WM6. otherwise you can try to change the radio rom to 2.19
If the problem still exist, i think your phone is having problem with the Radio hardware.

u listed everything but the radio rom. Try different radio version.
2.20.x prob good for balance.
2.69.x is hte newest radio rom, a bit harsh on the battery consumption
2.19.x is old, might not work on all the gprs stuff.
JUST me experince, YMMV.
I have a imate just like yours, same IPL/SPL.
never had that problems and always flashed my imate with G4 step 1 roms.

Sorry, had a lapse there..
My RadioROM is 2.47.21. I had tried multiple RadioROMs before in earlier WM6 versions, with no change. On the other hand, some other threads that seem related have had success with 2.19.21, so I'll give it a try. I don't use GPRS for anything anyway.
One question on that - I know you don't lose any data flashing a RadioROM, but one thread mentioned having to hard reset after the flash to get the new RadioROM functionality. Is this true? (Hoping not)

Radio rom is seperate. Like bios, you dont format HDD after upgrade bios. It's safe to upgrade without hard reset. However it doesnt hurt to install latest ROM also (which requires hard reset) Also what kinda 3rd party software you installed on there? commonly when prophet is in data mode, sometime voice doesnt come in, might be something doing that without you knowing.
Yes, that is true.
Radio ROM is not involve with OS ROM, you can flash your radio ROM to any version without effecting to the OS ROM and no need to hard reset.
Hard reset is only for upgrade and downgrade the OS ROM.
I have flashed to any radio ROM without Hard Reset.
Each Radio ROM has different configuration, so it can effected your battery drain because the receiving signal can be different at any radio rom.
we assume the latest radio rom is better than the earlier version but the best things, you can try all the available Radio ROM which is fit to your need.
Cheers,
I have the same problem
I have the same problem - my Imate Jamin (Prophet G3) started to miss calls from time to time after I upgraded to WM6. Tried multiple RadioROMs and multiple ROMs - no effect whatsoever
I have the same problem, but i don't know the solution.
2.19.21 is the solution for me.

Sorry for so long to reply, but I wanted to make sure...
Since downgrading my RadioROM to 2.19.21, I have not had the missed call problem. The last time around on WM6 I tried everything from 2.20.21 on up to the latest without any improvement.
If you haven't tried 2.19.21, try it.
As a side note, I feel the Prophet Touch X ROM works great now, and I'm experiencing no bugs. However, the battery drain is more than the WM5 WWE.
YMMV

I'm trying out my first-ever ROM-flashing exercise, on my ageing Hermes.
I've read the excellent tutorials by Mr Vanx and OliPro; and I'm certain I'm following them correctly.
I've checked that my phone has SPL 1.11.
I've checked that my phone is recognised on my Vista Mobile Device Centre.
But...
I can't load HardSPL.
Here's what I've tried and what happens:
a) I've tried renaming the HardSPL-V7 .ndh file as HERMIMG.ndh and then copying to my SD card's root folder; and then initiating bootloader. After 30 minutes, soft-resetting; and then checking bootloader: still SPL 1.11
b) I've tried running via RUU wrapper; and, each time, I get as far as "this is from an unknown publisher..." [I select "yes"]; and a few seconds later, my pc shows a dialogue message: "Error 260... the update utility cannot connect to your PDA/phone". Yet everything is connected as it should be.
Can a wise soul out there suggest what I need to do? Thanks in advance.
I think you first need to unlock your phone. It's too long ago when I did it to my Hermes...

The unlocking process completed successfully on the pc and also on my Hermes. As per instructions, I turned off the phone for 10 seconds, then rebooted it.
I tried running HardSPL via the RUU wrapper - but I get the same result as mentioned in point b) above.
Any other suggestions gratefullly received and I'll let you know how I get on
Ignore me - I had 1.40 OliPro bootloader and I successfully flashed a stripped-down WM6.1 ROM.
So all's well and I like this new ROM. But I've seen some gorgeous catering by you master-chefs out there - and I like your WM6.5 main courses...!
Thanks.
Mate, its better to have Hard SPL V7 on your Hermes... Try renaming the .nbh file to hermimg.nbh, NOT .ndh.... Small mistake, BIG problem...
SPL 1.40 is an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL, Its better to put V7 (2.10 oli) on...
Cheers...

Hi
Newbie so apologies whilst I get used to the site and issues.
Already have a problem with my (bought unlocked) SPV M3100 running on UK "Three" Network
The mic does not work with calls but the headset is OK.
Mic (and headset) works when Recording Notes.
(So probable Software Problem)
Soft Reset has not worked.
Just going thru great (including size !!!) site to learn to Flash, HArd SPL etc.
(Can someone post a link to HardSPL v7 !)
To come back to this thread what are the issues (bugs etc) with WM6.5 & are they fixed yet ?
I am also thinking of getting a TouchPro2 as well.
Does it come with WM6.5 installed.
If 6.1 is anyone here running both devices and can comment on speed stability of Common ROM if installed.
(I suppose limiting factor will be the Hermes/TyTn)
(My Hermes acquired mainly for use in Third World Environments (Aid Work), where it is tougher & now quite common. Touch Pro 2 used in the UK but need to Synch. Prefer a stable good looking ROM (Not too Flashy !!). Speed not that important)
Any help/Advice in Flashing ROMS much appreciated.
Also link to HardSPL v7
Many Thanks in advance
Link to Hard SPL V7, try the 1st page of this thread.....
Ok, after 2 days of fighting, sweating, a pc hdd full with roms,tools,mtty,etc...
...i'm giving up. i am posting a help request for the first time since i am a xda user,
and that's been for almost 2 years now. i rather solve problems by doing research on the xda forums but this time i am out of energy.
i had an raphael before where the hacking process was pretty straightforward
and flashing a cooked rom was really idiotproof.
now i got an cool athena in my hands. i was like yeah, let's flash baby....and
the original OS didn't even last for half of a day. quick enough i realised that
this baby shouldn't be flashed the raphael way - the sd card method...
ok let's get on topic:
what i did:
flashed with the AP4 SPL 3.5 AthenaUpdater (following the howto exactly)
and well. that worked fine. the OS was booting and everything. but to my
surprise it looked like that AP4 update flash thing didn't ship another cooked
rom, but flashed my SPL only. i rather expected a SPL, CID unlock and ROM
install in one single package. i don't know what made me think that, since the
raphael has to be flashed with different stuff too before beeing able to...bla
since i was so happy to find that AP4 update howto i guess i was assuming
that this is the whole deal since it doesn't say anything about seperate CID
unlocking in that .pdf
anyway, i looked for a cooked spl 3.5 compatible rom and there i found it:
[ROM] *Updated Mar/4/2010* AGB V3.00.0 (WM6.5.5 build 23534)
and well, that was basically it. the flash went ok, but after booting only
the rom's splash screen appears and nothing further happens. hard reset
doesn't help.
i tried a few other roms after that, and again. only the rom-specific custom
flash image appears and nothing happens.
tried to flash the AP3 for SPL 3.5 ROM - same thing: flash screen says "operating system is loading", which is an bitmap picture i guess...
downgrade to SPL 1.2 doesn't seem possible since this requires a running
WM, which i don't have.
bootloader works by the way, hard reset works too, but no fix...
after a little reading i get the idea that i should have cid unlocked the device
before flashing with a cooked rom? or did i something else wrong?
any help would be appreciated
oh yeah, and mtty:
the recover from invalid id procedure doesn't fix the issue.
and:
set 14 0
task 8
doesn't fix anything too, just boots the device into the never ending flash screen....
quick questions
what does your boot screen say
and did you remove your sd and simcard before flashing
yeah, the i ofcourse removed the sd card and sim card before everything.
i am at work now but afaik my bootloader screen says:
ATHE100
IPL 2.02
SPL 3.50.Olipro
before the attempt with mtty it said
ATHE400
IPL 2.02
SPL 3.50.Olipro
something like that. is that helpful?
i'm wondering that almost nobody replies. is the athena projcet kinda dead
or am i just asking BS, i don't know. anyway, i'll keep this one posted.
i have a new status of my athena: it boots a ROM for the first time. i have flashed
it with a test rom, called:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Base ROM (Testing)
It can be found on the athena latest ROM links page.
And ofcourse there is a BUT(T)....
BUT..the configuration wizard keeps looping. Means the device boots WM6.1,
asks me to calibrate the screen. after that touchflo (or sense) shows up for a few seconds, a progress bar appears and installs some (invisible) stuff and the device reboots. Normal behaviour you'd say, but the calibration screen comes again, and the progress bar too, and reboots, and again, and again...
maybe somebody could tell me how to stop that process? it seems like the
device doesn't save the first time setup settings. how to fix it?

Hi mate
I live in a different time zone and my daily email about updates to posts comes late in my day and probably when you sleep.
There are not many people who use this device and it is really a legacy machine.
However your post gives a clue to what happened.
with the bootscreen showing athe400 initially are you sure you have an x7500/x7501 or is it the x7510?
Just make sure before you follow the solution in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387596&highlight=endless+loop
the roms are very different
Check out exactly which hardware you have
this thread is from the x7510 thread and may be worth a read if you have the x7510
Additionally cmonex has the knowlege to fix your issuues if the above doesn,t work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
thank god, somebody replied with useful information
well, i must be honest i didn't pay too much attention on the model number.
after reading your post, i checked and i see that i have a X7510 advantage device.
which means as far as i can understand it:
i SHOULD have the modelid ATHE400?
which means, i messed it up by flashing it with mtty to modelID ATHE100?
which means, all the time i was installing X7500 stuff on the wrong device
and bricked it that way?
so the AP4 3.5 SPL solution is not for X7510?
which means, the AP4 3.5 SPL is a hard SPL but for another device?
and after all, what do you suggest? do i need to revert my modelID
to ATHE400 and if yes, how? and after that i should follow the 2nd
thread to install a proper hardSPL and a WM6.5 ROM of my choice?
try contacting cmonex
the author of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
wrote the script you used to change the device id and may have a way to reverse this
good luck
lakeman, my friend!
you pointed me to the right direction. i followed the steps for installing
hardspl for x7510 from cmonex, and yeah, the modelid changed back
to athe400 and the device was booting! seems like that hardspl also
corrects the modelid automatically.
i am still curious why the device was working after flashing with AP4 3.5 SPL
in first place, since that one is actually for X7500 devices.
i should 've read some more before going to flash that thing, i must admit.
many thanks to you lakeman, and big ups for that cmonex guy!
now it's time to look for a nice wm6.5 rom for my ATHE400
fantastic
happy to help
