Here is another new ROM from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.34.502.1
ROM Date: 09/22/06
Radio: 1.16.00.00
Bootloader: 1.06
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* See the threads on the previous Cingular ROMs for upgrading issues such as enabling video calls, band selection tab, ExtROM customizations, PTT button, etc...
-v1.30
-v1.31
-Downgrading instructions
UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS:
* People with bootloader <= 1.04 just follow the normal procedure (run RUU twice after invalid vender ID error).
* People with bootloader 1.06 (those who have flashed the cingular 1.31 rom) need to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 first:
1) Put your device in bootloader mode by holding the side Ok button and the power button and at the same time reset with the stylus.
2) Upgrade to a ROM matching your CID, that is a ROM from your vendor (TyTN owners use the TyTN rom, dopod owners the dopod rom, jasjam owners the imate rom, etc...). This will get you back to bootloader 1.04
3) Flash the new 1.34 ROM as usual (run RUU twice after invalid vender ID error).
Enjoy
Guys, i'm at work and still haven't had time to flash it on my Hermes, so the first flashing it please update the OS build and protocol version on the wiki. Thanks
Any chance that we have release notes for this ROM uploaded as well?
Thanks.
cant run the rom file, it said file corrupted. i downloaded twice, both time it said rom file is corrupted. please re upload the rom
Tried to flash from 1.31 to 1.34 - but I get error message ERROR [294] INVALID VENDER ID
Anyone had any luck flashing 1.34
Doesnt upgrade from 1.31 - just get an invalid vender id error...
EDIT: can't downgrade either using the bootloader method - seems like we are now stuck on this rom until a solution is found!
Have you tried to restart the falshing SW without touching the hermes and without disconnecting the USB?
You are supposed to do this a second time when you get this error

Clear your cache, rom file is OK, I checked the md5sum of it.
Same here - Invlid vendor ID.
Something's fishy here. Some can downgrade and some cannot. What's your device's CID awharton if I may ask?
It makes sense that a direct upgrade from 1.31 -> 1.34 will fail. However, a downgrade to the original TyTN ROM for users having a real TyTN (CID QTEK_001) followed by an upgrade to 1.34 should work. I believe TyTN owners have been reporting success at downgrading from 1.31 although this is mystifying too as one would expect that the bootloader version downgrade should prevent this also....

Its a Orange M3100 SIM unlocked (HERM100)
let me REBOOT my pc and try again.
i cleared my cache. still got erros. and said can not unpack, file is corrupted..
@people getting invalid vendor ID:
Please report:
- which device do you have: TyTN, Vario II, SPVM3100, DOPOD 838pro, etc...
- Your device CID: QTEK_001, CDL__001, O2___102, etc... can be checked by "info 2" bootloader command, leave blank if you don't know it.
- Current ROM on your device before trying to upgrade
- Bootloader version

True - thinks this makes sense. As Orange haven't released an upgrade yet I can't test this out. Need someone that has a Dopod or TyTN to experiment...
I'm trying this now. I got the same invalid vendor ID (HTC TyTN, running 1.31), and now I'm flashing back to 1.18. This seems to be working, albeit very slowly. I'll keep you updated if I can upgrade from 1.18 - 1.34; the flash to 1.18 should take about 25 minutes.
For people on Cingular, does push to talk work on this rom? If not, then this is not the final rom.
Here's the extracted radio 1.21 from Imate JasJam's 1.31.305.2 ROM.
HERM_1.21.31.10_type2_radio.rar
Remember:
- You need bootloader 1.04 to upgrade to a extracted radio ROM
- screen will show "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait........."
- after finishing flashing radio (about 15 min) you will see an "Upgrade Error", but the radio ROM will be flashed anyway.
- no need to hard reset after upgrading the radio, only soft reset with stylus when upgrade ends.
- upgrade at your own risk, i take no responsibility for anything that happens to you, your Hermes, your marriage, etc.
For more information see the extracted radio wiki page.
Enjoy!
thanks machine for all
OK, I flashed this Radio ROM into my Hermes
Well, guys, I 've already flashed this Radio ROM into my Hermes.
The procedure itself worked as usual. Radio version before update was 1.20.31.10.
Device booted up after flashing successfully
At this moment I don't see any difference between 1.20 and 1.21 versions.
[HELP]

I have the one with the 1.35 ROM
Radio rom : 1.18.0.10 !!! But I think we can find better !!!!!!!

Thx...upgraded succefull...after downgrade the Bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04..then able to upgrade.....
Didn't see anything special...hehe...
I have flashed Bootloader 1.01 MFG on my vodafone 1605, with this bootloader, i successed flash voda french rom, htc 1.35 rom and Dopod CHT rom, i flashed bootscreen too.
but i didn't find any method to flash a Radio rom, there isn't explication in Wiki neither in thread.
can you tell us pof, how to flash a radio rom with a Bootloader 1.01 MFG, please!
thanks at first
@googoo no way to do this directly with 1.01 MFG yet. Essentially, the process is this:
First flash a 1.04 bootloader using 1.01 MFG. Next, flash desired radio. Then flash back to 1.01 MFG.
detail on these steps are in the Wiki
@qooqoo: sorry I forgot to add it in wiki, i thought it was obvious, but you're the second person asking this, so I added it to the wiki now. Thanks sleuth.
thanks Sleuth255 and pof.
I think I made a mistake... I'm using SPL 1.09 and I didn't even realise... It says its upgrading radio stack!!! Whats gonna happen???
I've upgrade to this ROM to test it...
BTW: I ve updated the wiki with the Protocol Version installed with this radio: 32.53.7020.01H
Test?
Can anyone post his experiences with the new Radio ROM?
Well I am using 1.20 and sometimes the device freezes while receiving a call. I am not sure if this is Radio ROM related and I am not sure if I should now upgrade to 1.21 or downgrade to 1.16
TyTN is a German T-Mobile MDA Vario II, it came with a 1.03/1.06? Radio ROM.
Edit: Will try with 1.16 now - but a 1.21 stability report would be appreciated..
@Applestar:
My Jasjam which is a HT647... came factory installed with this new ROM which is now available at the imate website (www.imate.com):
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
ROM Date: 8th September 2006
Radio Version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM Version: 1.31.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.06
The problems I faced with this original ROM was that the Radio would freeze abruptly without any apparent indication. The GSM signal showed full bars but I could not make a phone call. Similarly when someone tried to phone me he would get an indication that my mobile is switched off. Other than this the PDA would continue to function normally and therefore no warning that the Radio has stopped functioning till I needed to make a phone call. I could not establish a pattern when this occurred but it would definitely occur once or twice a day. The only way to restore my radio to working condition was to switch to flight mode and back or a soft reset.
I then downloaded the ROM which was available at the i-mate site (www.imate.com) at that time i.e. on 9th January 2007. The ROM that I downloaded was definitely older than the one which came preinstalled on my jasjam and is detailed below:
ROM Version: 1.20.305.3
ROM Date: 21st July 2006
Radio Version: 1.07.03.10
Protocol Version: 32.41.1010.02H
Ext ROM Version: 1.20.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.04
Ever since I have installed this ROM the problem of the Radio freezing is gone for ever and now I am absolutely satisfied with my investment.
Furthermore I have not experienced any adverse effect of the older ROM. The free RAM is the same for both ROMs, I do not see any difference in signal strength or battery life either.
I would be interested to know from members who have recently downloaded the the ROM if anyone has noticed the Radio freezing problem
Kind Regards
ok, thanks the operation is correct.
I've finished the testing of this 1.21.31.10 Radio ROM.
I used to use the 1.20.31.10 ROM and this is the comparation of this ROM with the new 1.21.31.10 ROM:
- Under GSM and UMTS the time to register in the network as the coverage is the same in both ROMs. I haven't noticed any difference while talking and receive voice calls.
- But THE PROBLEM is that the data calls are broken in this ROM. I used direct Modem connection with my work (we got two 56k Modem waiting for incoming calls). It connects without apparently problems with the modem (maybe it takes more time than the older ROM) but the data interchange is very sloooooooow and suddenly it stops! The data call isn't dropped but it doesn't interchange data after two or three minutes of slooooooow interchange. Finally, if you close the call and tries to reconnect it can't!!!! WM5 says that an unknown error happens and can't be connected!!!!
After a soft reset you can connect again but it remains very sloooooow...
Fortunately I've switched back to the old and stable 1.20.31.10 ROM and everything works normal now (thank God!).
So, my final advice:
DON'T USE THIS ROM!!! IT LACKS DATA CALLS BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS BROKEN!!!
My recommendation: 1.20.31.10 ROM.
Best regards.
I recommend: Radio 1.07.03.10
With this Radio I had very good signal strength. Better than Radio 1.18.00.10.
I think newer Radios aren't better to lower the SAR-Level.
I am having a very positive experience with this ROM. While I doubt there is any way to explain this, but after I installed it, I was able to use the Microsoft Voice Command through the BT headset and the hack that is provided in a different discussion group. Using 1.20, that hack did not work with my device. Otherwise, I see no difference.
One new feature provided by this radio ROM as compared to the one in the previous JASJAM WWE version:
Automatic date/time and time zone synchronization with your GSM operator.
There is a new properties tab in Phone properties where you can enable/disable this feature.

Do you know which radio ROM has the lowest SAR level?
Only one short question! -Only one short answer! ;-)
I´ve flashed my hermes to the 1.35 radio rom. Now iam getting these ****ty
radio waves signals out of the hermes´s earspeaker . And it is possible that i have to send in my device, because i have several problems with sending sms. Because of these things it would be very nice if it is possible to flash back to the shipped version of the Radio Rom(1.27.00.00)
I tried to flash back with
RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe
and it completed succesfully but on the hermes is still the 1.35 Version of the radio rom.
THX
You will need the sspl version of the installer. It can be downloaded here.
hmm, so i took the wrong radio ROm version?
on this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291827
i took the first one because i have a herm300 from t-mobile.
So i only have to flash with the version you gave me, and thats all?
Update radio without Activesync connetion
Can I update this rom version without any activesycn connection. My HTC TYTN is hang out after rom dwwongrading and now it start unitl windows loading screen. I think that only alternative is download new rom with help of three colour screen usb connetion or with help of mtty program. My bootloader version is 1.09
Please let me know your opinions,
Juha
@Miliano: you are correct. The sspl download for v1.27 was created by wpbear.
Unbelievably, I found the link for you by looking in the Hermes WiKi....
@frontpage: sspl based flashing won't work unless windows mobile can load
Soon HTC will release the WM6 WWE official upgrade rom for Hermes. My device is an Orange m3100 Super CID (imei-check) with the latest rom from Orange SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe with
Operator version 14.211.1.611
Radio : 1.38.00.01
Protocol : 32.71.7020.12H
Rom : 2.11.61.6 (23/3/07)
Build : 15673.3.3.1
ipl : 1.01
spl: 1.09
If I want to install the HTC WM6 rom on my device, do I need to flash Hard SPL before flashing the factory rom? If I do the upgrade but don't like it, do I simply reflash the current Orange rom? I am familiar with most upgrading methods, but I am hesitant with this 1.09 SPL that Orange has built into their rom, as it has bricked many units upon attempting flashing. ...POF? MrVanx?
up, anyone?
Mate, if you use the SSPL option on a ROM from a chef on here or similar forum then you can go back to Orange easily - though it takes FOREVER to flash back, far longer than the time it says on the screen whilst it's running, but still works fine.
If you flash Hard SPL onto your phone before upgrading to a ROM then you'll have to read the instructions in the enclosed docs that came with it - or read the appropriate thread (which I can't remember the location of) for instructions on downgrading back to official ROM.
Either way, you can deffo go back to Orange. Basically, if you didn't use SSPL option to upgrade (which an official HTC ROM won't have, I wouldn't have thought) you'll have to 'tell' your Orange phone that it IS an Orange phone again before going back to original ROM. If you did use SSPL, just flash the Orange ROM and you're done.
Without the HTC ROM being released yet (or until it gets leaked and people have had a look at it) I don't think anyone will know what your options are going to be as.
(I'm no expert, mind - check ANYTHING I say against latest info on the forum and wiki by using Search function mate.)
Hello,
Just unlocked both sim and cid, and installed tnt 1933 touch flo rom, no problems on the install, expect for that my cell phone does not work.
I know I might have to update the radio rom, and anyone please explain the procedure and the file needed, read, but confused.
current:
G4
ipl 2.21.001
spl 2.21.olip
gsm 02.25.11
os 11.0.0.1
s.thakur
I just upgrade and notice the bug too. My phone works sometime, but I cant end the call! and some sms are not being rec'd.
TNT.1933 is known to have problems for some Radio ROMs.
Either choose other ROM or try other Radio ROMs until the problem goes away (There is no recommended radio version because it depends on your carrier)
For what I know, this is link to the newest Radio ROM available (2.71.11).
In the thread it's written it is g4 safe.
So I think you can flash it to your device plain and simple.
But I am not pretty sure if you need to use the RUU provided or the Mun's RUU from the Hard SPL thread...
EDIT:
I have flawlessy performed Radio upgrade to 2.71.11
I can now confirm it's g4 safe... just start the romupdateutility and follow the instructions...
No need to change RUU from the one included in rar archive for my G4 HardSPL.
