i already opened a thread about this and noone seems to be answering the question.. i am afraid my device is ruined already and most likely because of the new spl.. i am so upset.. the whole device is acting wierd, i even went back to ap3 and still having the same problems.. it seems to be the spl coz nothing else changed! i want to flash stock rom. any idea how to go back to normal???
Guess, all bros here prefer we have our device upgraded then otherwise.
I too encountered the bootloader loop after executing the AnthenaUpdater.
Best of all I cannot load AP4 and I cannot goto activesync mode.
Seeing the bootloader screen tell me there is hope, so next.
I flash AP3newspl by cmonex, http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
Not sure I re-flashed the AP3 rom, sorry, quite excited during the recovery process.
As soon as I get to see AP3, I continue instructions as prompted on screen until I have the
Activesync running. Once the sync is stable and established good connection with pc,
I immediately proceed and re-try flashing AnthenaUpdater.
It finally flashed the AP4 rom. The princess found the frog.
I hope my little experience may of help to you. Cheers.
I;ve also learn to leave the usb cable connected for a little longer to ensure all activities are completed.
hi, me too
I felt ap4.0 maybe is slow so i tried to go back to 7510(or 7501) original rom but stopped at loading..... scene
So i tried tried and flashed ap3.0 rom and t-mobile ...... but everytime rebooting device is starting as hardresetted.
Never come back to original rom never go to ap 4.0
so after rebooting ,as above posting, while activesync is active, I ran apupdater but the bootloader didn't come but hard restting_after scene so ap 3.0 or 7501 rom was starting....
desperatly, as soon as updater was finalized and before bootloader started, I pressed down volume_key+camera key +soft reset hole....
manually loading bootloader...
I succeeded in flashing ap 4.0
And felt good operating.
Everybody can experience this case .
This is from spl ver. I think.
^^
As far as you willingly go back to ap 4.0, your device will remain beatiful athena.
I think some explanations needed......
Is this my own world's case?
.......................................afraid.......

Really everyone should read this and all the info available before you flash!
as you have found out, there is no way to revert to the old SPL yet!
I downgraded to AP3 Old SPL, It runs fine. However, I got the following error with other Roms downgrade:
"FOUND SPL V1.20
DOWNLOAD SPL BEFORE V3.03 IS NOT ALLOWED"
What does it mean?
It means, as has been said MANY times before, if you upgrade to AP4 you CANNOT downgrade to anything except the hacked AP3.

You mean that it can't revert to old SPL? but after flashing this newSPL(v3.50.OliNex),my original rom can't be flash back! Because I'm a chinese,I need the chinese language rom.
How can I downgrade to chinese WM6 rom?

What the heck is that you've linked to?
Why didn't you read before upgrading? It was made quite clear that this was a now ROM that required a new SPL and could not be downgraded. Olinex has since made a version of AP3 that you can downgrade to and in future a full downgrade path will be available. It is not available yet.

I do not understand why you cannot or do not wish to exercise a little basic courtesy of sharing your thought in simple English.

Needing Downgrade - Waiting Patiently
First off - the AP4 is an excellent Rom - Great work! Thanks!!!! I was an early adaptor and unfortunately my headphone jack shorted out my internal speakers and now of course trying to reflash to the original HTC wm6 shipped rom so I can submit it to warranty, I found the dreaded spl-v3.50 not acceptable warning. Yes, we were forewarned about this (though I confess I missed it). So I URGE any of you who are still under warranty NOT TO UPGRADE to AP4 until Olipro benovolently provides us a true downgrade path to the factory roms or you are absolutely positive you don't want to make a waranty claim. If you are not under warranty - I highly recommend AP4. If you are under warranty I highly recommend staying with AP3 as you can downgrade AP3 to the original factory roms.
My two cents worth as I wait patiently for Olipros downgrade path to the original roms - and I will be donating handsomely for this...
hello
any progress from the dev team ? it is a great rom but for sale our athena it is best to downgrade and to instal a shipped rom...
Regards

are yiu sure this isn't just the problem that has affected just about every HTC phone and is easily fixed by poking either the headphone jack in and out a few times or wigling a matchstick/paperclipin the hole?
No need for a waranty claim!

Not only from HTC, I encountered it with Atom and HP6828 device as well.
Poking to correct the contact may help but do not apply too much force.
The jack cannot be replaced individually, whole main board have to go,
as I learned from the service centre.

Hi Guys
I am new to this forum and have a few quick question. I have purchased a i-mate jasjam. I currently have a different rom to the one on the i-mate site. Mine is as follow:
Rom: 1.31.305.2
Rom date: 09/08/06
Radio version: 1.20.31.10
Ext Rom: 1.31.305.103.
Now I want too downgrade to a different boot loader so I can unlock it. What is the best method to do this and will it work on my device. Also is there any way which I can back up the existing rom, and also should I use a different rom then the one I have as i-mate know nothing about the current rom on my jasjam?

1) Flash this ROM, it has CDL__001 (i-Mate jasjam WWE CID):
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.exe
2) Unlock:

Your existing rom is here, no need to back up first:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.103_1.20.31.10_ship.zip
You can flash ANY rom you want after you unlock:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
thankyou very much for the fast response will try it tonite when i get home. Another quick question this will make my imate have bootlaoder 1.04. That is all i really need to do if i dont want to unlock my device is that correct cause i dont want to make it a brick then i cant get any warranty at all
After you flash the imate 1.20 rom you will have bootloader 1.04, then you can unlock safely
Ok i have tried and put another sim in my fone and it worked straight away with out having to unlock or do any thing. Is there any benefit for me to still downgrade to the different imate rom?
If it's already unlocked there will be not much benefit for you... only SuperCID if you plan to switch between different roms, but wait until the next version of the unlocker which will keep SuperCID after rom upgrades (current version 1 doesn't).
So: no need for you to do much... you're on the latest radio and your device is unlocked
I know it is so good. I can't believe that i have latest rom and it is not even unlocked. Thankyou for your help on this matter. Will this pda ba bale to support the new windows mobile when it comes out and will i be able to flash it into it?

I don't know if there will be any WinCE 6 ROMs for the Hermes in the future, but here at XDA-Developers we will put all our effort into running it if it is not "officially" supported by HTC
BTW, now we should better concentrate the efforts into running Linux on the Hermes and forget about WM6
LoL go the linux I use it at home it is better then Mixrosxxt but it is good for the pda?

Not booting yet on the Hermes, but it runs quite well on other devices like Universal and BlueAngel. cr2 is doing a great job with the Universal if you like linux you should see how it runs there!
I hope someone joins the Linux development for the Hermes soon and we can have at least a booting kernel with minimal hardware support as starting point

Seems that patched gnuharet for the G500 is working fine on the Hermes, but kernel doesn't boot, it freezes at the red-eye penguin screen. I guess I'll have to tweak 'default.txt' a bit, but still have to investigate how... cr2: expect my questions on IRC soon
Hi everybody,
This is my first post here and first of all id like to say "THANKS FOLKS" for the great job you are doing here just for your passion!
Im writing for Italy and im about to get an "english" (from U.K.) genuine and not branded Htc Tytn so, dont worry, im not about to bother you with questions about italian dumped roms or stuff like that!
Tytn will be my first pda phone and my first "experience" with WM 5 so, before posting, i tried to read as much as i could just to avoid posting old questions, but i didnt find anything to make it bright: if id like to upgrade the rom, the extended rom, the radio rom of my tytn with a genuine htc rom, extended rom and radio rom without upgrading the bootloader, how can i do that?Is it possible?if yes, how?
I ask that coz first, i suppose my tytn will come with the 1.04 bootloader since its brand new, second coz id like to be able to just upgrade the radio rom without upgrading all the rest and third, coz im not really intersted in making it "super cid" or anything else since i wont mount any other immage than the htc ones...
I dont know if i said something wrong or already asked and, if yes, my apologies...if not, i really hope to get some answers...
Tnx everybody and see you next post...
Greeting, Jello

Hi Jello79 and welcome to XDA-Dev, I see you've done your homework of reading and searching before asking, and no... your question has not been asked before, so we're not going to kick your ass yet (just kidding!)
If you extract a shipped ROM you will see there's a NBH file which contains the following ROM parts:
Bootloader: IPL.nb & SPL.nb
Splash Screens: MainSplash.nb & SubSplash.nb
Radio: GSM.nb
Extended rom: ExtROM.nb
WM5: OS.nb
This NBH file has a signature generated with a private HTC certificate, and if you change a single bit of it, the signature will not be valid, so the bootloader will not accept to upgrade the device showing an "invalid cert error (255)".
So the answer to your question is unfortunately "no", you are not able to flash other ROM parts without flashing the bootloader, because all existing NBH files contain a IPL & SPL on them.
Hope it is clear to you
Tnx pof, fast, detailed and bright...now i "just" have to decide what to do..do you have any suggestion?
I think it worths to update all the shipped rom to the newset one...even if it avoids me to upload only the radio rom...what do you think?
Last question:making my tytn a "super cid" one, would make the warranty void?
Tnx in advance,
Jello

Sorry I can't answer that... depends on how you want to use the device and what do you expect out of it, and how happy are you to loose time changing roms, applying registry settings, installing cabs, etc... If you're a business user with no time and mod to play with it, I'd keep the shipped rom, otherwise I'd go on with upgrades.

I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Trinity ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rarThis radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Enjoy!
Excellent! Have you given this radio a work-out yet??
still flashing 92%
Edit: Flashed and working fine (see attached image), but still haven't seen any noticeable difference
What news with this radio ? most stable, battery ingrasse ?

Pof ,I understand 1.10.Oli will somehow protect us from bricking device by flashing a wrong radio.But since it is base on 1.04 ,so it will not support Radio BL 0108,so if I am now having 0108 here,and I flash this rodio 1.38,and I got a bad flash,I still can not repair my device.Is that right?
Radio-BL 0108 or something newer?
Hope the battery-duration will be better than in 1.35 Radio
@qvik123: If that happens you have two options to unbrick your device:
1) wait for a hard SPL based on 1.09 (which AFAIK Des will release soon), once you have it reflash the radio again.
2) You will still be able to flash an OS only because hardSPL will still keep the "fake" SuperCID on your device, so flash a OS image with KITL enabled and then use the KITL mehtod to unbrick your device with Platform Builder.
By any means, if **** happens do not overwrite 1.10.Oli with other bootloader.
Thanks Pof,you just answered the question which kept me thinking since Hard SPL released.Flashing this one,now by 30%.
flashed 1.01 oli, flashed 1.38.00.11 - no problem, BUT when I flashing/updating (or possibly bricking ) device, I like to know what exactly is a differences between versions, only one think I know about 1.38.00.11 is, that this version have GPS enabled. Thats all. Is any changelog, or list of changed/updated/improved features inside of roms? I know, that you just dump this rom from device, but it is really nice to know, if it is necessary. perhaps we should created one special thread with differences between versions, to better orientation (sorry if I miss this one, but I think at this time doesnt exist)... guys - thx for your work anyway
Thanks Pof I am going to upgrade.
ok a little lost on the process can I just download the 1.38 file and that will upgrade it or do i have to do something to the boot loader first? Sorry for the simple question.
yes, the question is really simple. but there is one more think you can do... read all this thread, and also this one. all necessary information is in there. and if you dont want to have 700$ paperweight, I really recommend to read all information about flashing procedures in wiki - here before you start. in any case of question or problem, do not hesitate to write some posts, but if anybody ask similar question like you, without some reading, which, yes, need a some time, then If somebody want to find any relevant and usefull information, must read about 60 % pointless posts... it is nothing personal, just for your info. forums is about people, and people keep forums alive.
you did not provide us any information about you current version of OS/ROM, BL version, for me it was easy, just extracted Hard-SPL.zip, runned ROMUpgradeUt.exe - after reset I have oli BL, then you can run HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar.... there is much much more knowledge about that, so try wiki first, it is only for you own good.

Unfortunately HTC keeps this information private, so there's no ChangeLog.
The radio was not dumped from a device, but extracted from 1.23.408.1 Italian Trinity ROM.

The download server was down now running!!!!!
Just upgraded to radio 1.38 from 1.35 and I am running xdalive first release WM6 on O2 3g. Since the upgrade I am pretty sure the phone signal is now stronger as I have tested it in areas around my home and outside that got no signal, especially near my pc. I can now make a call next to my pc with 3 bars on the signal meter! The signal does not drop so much, I will test further and report back any problems, but so far so good.
Please let me know how you get on.

I will let you know on that one as I had it fully charged for the radio upgrade. I will keep an eye on it and report back.
I was about to down grade my radio back to .1.27 or earlier beacause of my UTMS reception in Brisbane (AU) and also the battery life. So i will also let you all know how this goes.
My T mobile branded Vario II fell off my lap yesterday (in its case) Theres not a scratch on it and its only 4months old. Later on i had loads of missed calls and then realised it wont ring or vibrate or play mp3's.
Im currently running one of HTC's Roms, SPL-1.09 is my bootloader and im not sure how to reflash with the original T-mobile rom before i head back to the shop to see about a replacement
I keep getting a invalid vendor id, and from reading posts on the forums i know i need to do something with the cid so i can flash back down to the original rom.But im getting confused between a super cid and a cid? as what ive found below just mentions cid and not super cid.
Is this the file i need? HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a ? i just run the .bat file then install the orginal t mobile rom as normal?
What im basically asking is the above right to ahead with? as i just need some reassurance as if i cant blag one under warranty then ill have to use my insurance which as its my second claim in 6 months has a excess of £60
Yes i have looked on the forums for hours but cant see any info.
Thanks in advance should anyone help
EDIT well ive run the unlocker and supercid'd it but it still wont let me flash with the original t mobile rom?

Hi Gavin01,
Good luck with the downgrade - I'd be interested to know how it goes. I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and so far I've put HardSPL 7 and Radio ROM 1.41 onto it. I'm just trying to decide which WM6 ROM I want to try out
Anyway, I have at the back of my mind that I don't really know how to downgrade it in the case of a warranty claim. The MrVanx guide to downgrading WM5 looks ok, but I'd love to know how to put the radio rom back (I guess this would just be the reverse of the upgrade), but then finally taking taking HardSPL off. In fact I'd vote for a guide on it - would write it myself but I have to confess I'm rather a newbie to the world of HTC upgrades....
Cheers,
sparky
I have the same problem
I´d like to downgrade to original softbank settings. But they only accept warranty issues if you have the original cid? , right?
So putting the old rom back on is not my problem, "un-super-cid" it is.
I need help please too
Hello,
please excuse, but i have a question and i will not open a new threat.
I use tytn. I have installed the Radio Version 1.40 and the Black 3.01 Rom. I have used HardSPL and when i go into the bootloader i have Herm200 IPL 1.04 and Herm200 SPL 2.10 OliPro. My question is: it is not possible to go back to wm5 with the installer RUU Hermes 1.18....-Qtek_Ger_Ship. Because in this installer is a Radio Rom. When i will use it, i lost my Radio and i have No GSM. The only way to go back is with MrVanx Hermes downgrade guide. Is this correctness ??
( This is what i think after using the help-function and the wiki )
When this is right, so Please Please, can a specialist please build a litte .exe-File so that i can make a downgrade to my mw5? Sorry, i am not idle, i am not able to to this. And please excuse my english. I will say say thank you very very much for your helping. With the best regards from Berlin say Christian

Has anyone tested if any of these ROMs flash properly.. for me it would be the Dutchversion then... But I can not test right now can not have my phone broken down. Once Kaizer is out I am going to buy that one and then I could test, but would be nice to know if these dumped ROMs work
Unfortunately I do not know, I haven't even tested the UK version as I am not sure if it will work, however I did update the RUU.
Shame we cannot emulate the firmware install!
The T-Mob UK dumped ROM isn't quite right - the w'n'w home page doesn't work properly.
Minor thing but, one of the first things I tested
I dumped my friends ROM the other day. I'm currently working on building it and testing it - will let you know when it's done
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Hmmm...humble pie - lovely
Well, after flashing the ROM i dumped the other day, I had exactly the same thing with IE.
It took me about 3 seconds to realise it must be because the extROM had been flashed by one of the WM6 ROMs I had been using in the past.
As it turns out, this is the case so I can confirm that if you have the same issue, download the extROM dumo from the wiki (from this page) and delete the current contents of your extROM and copy the downloaded one back to it. Hard reset, and voila - everything back the way T-Mobile shipped (apart from Radio ROM, IPL\SPL etc...) but WTH ;-)

Trapper,
I assume you mean how can you put the correct Extended ROM onto your device? If I understand this correctly, the ROMs mentioned in Jygar's first post are the original main ROM but the Extended ROM is in fact from a Windows Mobile 6 ROM (I do not believe that flashing a ROM will affect the Extended ROM - the problem is that the re-flashed (downgraded) WM5 ROM is starting the Extended ROM installation after the basic OS install (as normal) but that Extended ROM is still a WM6 one.
The page that is linked to includes many Extended ROMs from many countries and devices - one of them an original T-Mobile ROM (here) and if you were to unlock/unhide and mount your Extended ROM you would be able to delete the incorrect (WM6) ones and then paste in these original Extended ROM files.
The Extended ROM files are executed during a hard reset after the OS has been installed - details of how this works are within this forum. I am not sure that you need to do a hard reset but it all depends on whether you stopped the device completing a normal (complete) install. After a hard reset the device will start to execute the Extended ROM files/.cabs and if you stop that with a soft reset as soon as it starts then the device will re-boot with a basic WM build (with no service provider fixes/updates/customisations/settings)
If this is all explaining what you already know then sorry but your question posted is rather open... Hope this helps
ExtROM.nb attached Just put it into an NBH and flash
@tony.wheeler - What was the original radio version of your Vario II? I'm in the process of creating a complete upgrade to restore UK MDA Vario II's to their 'out of the box' state with the original ROMs (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, OS, Radio ExtROM)

eek, think it was 1.03?
[edit]Have done a search it appears it is 1.05!
only problem is this is HTC_BOOT 0106 and most ppl are now patched to 0108 so I would have thought we cannot downgrade our radio rom.
TBH 1.43 is the best radio rom out and i cannot say a bad word against it. I have only eva updated my radio rom and since the radio update have not had a problem with the origional t-mob os.
Hehe, yeah i found out it was 1.05 as well. Oh well, I'll use 1.07 in my NBH. I now have a complete ROM backup (IPL, SPL, GSM, OS, MainSplash, SubSplash, ExtROM) to revert back to should anything ever happen which means I would need to claim on the warranty.

I keep loosing connection with the 1.50 that came with the WM6 test ROM, and also falling down to GSM even though I'm in a good 3G reception area.
Didn't seem to notice these problems before. I was running Radio 1.48 onto of the old radio.

Any chance of you posting this backup ROM? There are many of us who would be very keen to have this as a safety net for when we have to return our Vario 2s under warranty.

I too am running with Radio 1.50, after a short-lived update to WM6. I have had no problems at all with 2g or 3g, steady as a rock.
