I want to upgrade my Oxygen to WM 6.0 or 6.1, but I'm not sure of how to do it without screewing up my phone (I already did it on a tornado..).
Could someone check if I've understood what I need to do ?
Starting point :
brand new HTC S310, just flashed by HTC, english (Italiano, English, french, espanol, nederland, deutsch), No Sim lock, no app lock, System 5.1.1.195, Radio 4.1.13.20_02.41.90, RTL 2.002. On the bootloader, I can read "Oxygen, ONBL 1.05.0000, SPL 1.05.0000".
First , I need to change the SPL, using http://rapidshare.com/files/65732449/hspl.7z.htm :
1. Copy spl.nb, spl.lnk and jumpspl.exe to the root of device, hold camera and launch spl.lnk - you`ll see the white screen
2. Connect USB to pc
3. From the flasher folder run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow instructions to flash the Hard-SPL
Then, reboot the phone in bootlloader
Then, I can flash the rom contained in http://rapidshare.com/files/114457795/wm61OxygenUpdate1.rar, using the same usual RomUpdateUtility. that would bring me to WM 6.1.
After that , I'm done.
If I'm not satisfied with this Rom, i Could reflash with Oxygen/RUU_Oxygen_1.5.401.2_R3_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_HTC_EUR_Test.exe, which is a WM 6.0, or some others found elsewhere. For that, I don't need tochange again SPL etc..
If i'm missing a point, thanks for helping me !

It would be better to flash a rom with the flasher from the unlock tool. Your phone/bootloader will remain unlocked that way.

Sorry, but as I said , I'm not familiar with all this : you mean to modify the 6.1 rom to include the unlocked bootloader ?
If I don't do this, I will have to flash first the free bootloader before flashing any other ROM ?
Thanks for your help.
Thank You vary much.
finally i successfull upgraded my oxy!!! (reading this few lines and the others in wm 6.1 release thread)
ty very much, my oxy has a second new life from now

Ok... now this is going to be a work in progress and an answer to most questions...
To all pof, Des and Sleuth have done a great job in getting the tools together so we can flash our devices...
1. To all who want to SuperCID your device no matter what ROM version you have and no matter what Radio BootLoader version you have you can use POF's version 3 unlocker found here http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
2. Once you have SuperCID your device you can now load extracted ExtRom, OS, and radio roms (radio can only be done if you have radio bootloader 107 or less) to do this goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
3. For all of those not interested in ROM cooking and flashing cooked ExtROM's all you need to use is des's SSPL tool... just copy it onto your device and run it... the SPL version should say SPL-1.09.des. The tool can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
4. Just to clarify... once you have flashed radio bootloader 108 onto your device it is possible to do Extracted Radio only upgrades please read edit 3 below..... to check what radio bootloader version a radio rom has goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms and radio only upgraded require SPL 1.04... for instructions on how to flash that goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
5. if your device is unusable please refer to here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
appologies for all the links but thats what the wiki is for guys... lots of reading but it is all worth while in the end...
and if ive missed anything feel free to add...
edit 1... The reason you SuperCID your device is to enable flashing of any SPL Bootloader versions, extracted OS roms, extracted ExtROM's and to an extent Radio ROM's (only if your device has RadioBootloader 107 or less).... but SuperCIDing your device voids the warranty... if your just looking to upgrade your device to a newer ROM and are worried about the warranty just use des's SSPL tool... read point 3 above...
edit 2... the SSPL tool... you need to copy this onto your device while windows mobile is running... if your device is not in a usable state refer to point 5... once its finished copying click on the exe and run it... it will put your device into a 'Service' mode and with bootloader versions IPL-SSPL by Des and SPL-1.09.ds... all you need to do now is choose which shipped original rom you want to use to flash your device with... see here for options http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
edit 3... now who wants the good news woo hoo!!!! i have managed to create an unsigned nbh file and flash it onto my device... now please all follow these details step by step
1. download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294046
2. download the appropriate Full Shipped ROM from either the Trinity or the Hermes of which you want to rip the Radio from
3. download this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH
4. extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from the exe using winrar or something
5. open a command prompt and point it to the same folder where you extracted the files you downloaded..
6. run nbhextract to extract the radio rom... delete all other .nb files except for 05_GSM.nb
7. edit the text file for nbhgen and delete all information except for this
HERM100
SuperCID
1.23.707.6
USA
300,05_GSM.nb
8. run nbhgen.. this will generate the nbh file required to flash your device...
9. copy SSPL to your device.. refer to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
10. execute SSPL on your device which will put you into the 'Service' mode,
11. now run the RomUpgradeUT.exe file... and your done!!!!!!!! any questions just ask...

Hello all,
I am a little confused about the issue of going back to BL 0107 if you flash Radio 1.33 + or Rom (say) 2.05 because you end up with BL 0108.
Isn't it true if you use Des's SSPL tool you can flash any ROM, so you can flash an older ROM, then you end up with older OS, Radio and Extended ROM as well as IPL and SPL??
Also if you use Boot loader 1.01 MFG, then upgrade individual components using MTTY??
With the latest developments over the past few days, it looks like Hermes is now an open field where one can try whatever combination as long as you can boot into service mode or Windows.
I would appreciate a comment from the developers confirming or explaining the current limitations.
Simple.
Please Answer if you are sure
Look !
my tytn have bootloader 1.09 and during upgrade it stopped , that is to say my phone das no OS so I cannot pass "WIndows Mobile " Screen unless I upgrade fully upgrade rom . I have read and tried all suggested ways but they are not useful , because bootloader 1.09 checks CID but my CID is corrupted .
I need a way to pass CID check same as SSPL . but I cannot copy any thing to phone . The only way which can help me , is a file which able to pass phone's CID check from PC .

ok now you have to open an mtty session... download this ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Cooked_ROMs/SPL-1.01MFG_Pack.zip
1. Disable 'Allow USB Connections' in Activesync
2. Open mtty.exe
3. type \\.\WCEUSBSH001 in the port section and click ok
4. press 'Enter' twice and type task 32 and press enter
4. type info 2 and tell me what is displayed...
What about writing an app which fully identifies all Hermes specs? It should open a message box and answer whether device is SuperCID, which IPL, SPL, RBL, ROM, Radio and if readable which ExtROM. Wouldn't that be nice? Every noob could give all the information viable for all others to help.
well if the user was to go and look at the device information application in 'Settings' > System then can find out what radio rom version they have when in turn if they look at the table in the wiki they can tell what version of Radio Bootloader they have... but i will investigate writing a little app... shouldnt be too hard...

Just to be clear:
Can you put the new "RUU_signed.nbh" from step 8 above back into the full RUU....._ship.exe using Winrar and run it that way too?
This is very cool! So we can change to any radio ROM (upgrade or downgrade), but technically we will still have radio BL 108, but who cares.

Hi Walshieau,
After I follow your edit 3 step, when I try to upgrade the radio,
it shown Error 262. What's that error message for?
Thanks
did you copy SSPL to your device and run it before you started the upgrade???
Am I right in thinking I could mix and match all the components with this tool?
I.E. extract the o.s. from one full update then extract the radio from another, then use "NBF generator" to merge them and flash them all at once?
I'm a total newbie to Windows Mobile. Trying to app/registry unlock my phone, I downloaded regedit.exe and the regeditSTG2.exe to my pc. I've tried dragging them to the Qtek 8500. The regedit.exe is on the phone, the STG2.exe doesn't even appear. Trying to run the regedit.exe from the phone results in nothing - leftclicking just shows up a "General" properties tab, with file type, Location \ (must be root, right?) , file size etc. Right clicking offers cut, copy, shortcut, delete and rename.
1. So how do I run it?
2. The regeditSTG2 is so called "digitally signed." What does this mean, and what benefits does it bring?
3. Why wont the regeditSTG2 allow itself to be dragged onto the "mobile device?"
Thank you
There is a regeditSTG2 in cab-file, just copy to your device and launch. You can run it from Start Menu
Thank you Erofich!
I want to flash your 6.1 ROM according as per instructions:
1) make an application unlock
2) copy content of SSPL to the root of your device
3) run SPL.lnk
4) run ROM Update Utility.exe on your PC
5) follow the instructions
6) wait until flash process will be completed
My current ROM is 1.02.252.1. I want to have the safest possible flash possible. The application unlock contains two pieces, one the regeditSTG procedure, and two, the SDApplication unlock tool.
Q1. If I understand correctly that is step one above, right?
However, I've seen some comments about the RadioQuote:

where you answered that
Just flash latest cingular rom first, and flash wm6.1 over it
Q2. a )If I flash the latest cingular rom first, wouldn't I then still need to CID unlock the device, or is there a way to use the SSPL for that process? b) If I don't flash the cingular rom first, what will happen to the radio?
Q3. Someone, I believe it was Raskell, posted a back up procedure in case of bricking which entailed extracting and *.nbh file from the official RUU installer. a) Where do I find the official RUU installer? b) If I do not follow this back up procedure, can I still do it if I fail - that is can I do it even if the 8500 would be non-functional?
Thanks

No, application unlock contains only one piece regeditSTG procedure for any Qtek or i-mate ROMS. And SDA Applcation Unlock for Cingular ROM

You can flash via SoftSPL, BUT it will be safer if you will make a SuperCID procedure (but pay attention to all the steps, otherwise you can crash your radio and it cant be recovered)

Hi ady
before we go further I need to know 2 things.
Do you have a HTC athena or variant.
Did you use the wrapper and follow the instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846
hello, i have htc x7500 advantage and i want to install the english wm 6 rom, wwe. first i have to unlock it, right?
I didn't used that. if i will, i don't need anymore athenaunlocker? what's the difference between athenaunlocker and hard-spl from that link?
You have to explain WHAT HTC wm6 ROM you want to install First
If you have and old WM5 x7500 just register on www.htc.com and download the HTC OFFICIAL WM6 update for YOUR language!!
ONLY
If your X7500 is SIM LOCKED you need to UNLOCK it first(wrapper isn't for SIM Unlock) and ATHENA UNLOCKER meets your needs
i wanna install this rom: AP Dual 3.0.

If you want the AP3 0r other roms in the sticky made for SPL 1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
then you should run the athena wrapper that Olipro has made to be as much foolproof as possible
As he says "your device MUST BE RUNNING WINDOWS MOBLE and MUST BE SYNCED WITH THE PC.
to recap: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE 1.20/1.25, DO NOT USE THIS."
It seems that you must use the same USB port as well.
i have allready downloaded that rom, all i need to know is the difference between that 2 files: activeunlocker and hard-SPL. And, as I saw on a post of that link, i can use one or other from that files. now, tell me, activeunlocker should I copy on PPC? (i will receive it tomorrow, and i want to know what i have to do) Because from PC doesn't work, it gives me an error.
ATHENA UNLOCKER is needed ONLY if you have to unlock the SIM too.
E.G. If your phone, WITH ORIGINAL ROM, can use ANY SIM, you don't need to run ATHENA UNLOCKER
As CMONEX said here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2030747&postcount=81
wrapper is hardspl + customruu
unlocker is hardspl + sim unlocker
SPL means a part of "bios" used ALSO for defining your device language and vendor (HTC, T-Mobile, DOPOD,...) and avodi flashing a "non original" ROM
To flash ANY rom you need to overcome those informations. You can do this running an application, but if something goes wrong during the FLASH and your device doesn't start anymore... you are lost. You can't run the application again, because you haven't the OS!
HARD SPL has been developed to avoid this problem. It is a NEW SPL (1.2 or 3.x) developed from OLIPRO (and CMONEX too for 3.xx) flashed into your device. it is IN the "BIOS" so, even if your OS doesn't start, you can flash ANY ROM
Both, WRAPPER and UNLOCKER will flash HARDSPL. You need only the WRAPPER if your phone can use any SIM!
When you choose the ROM some are build for the SPL 3.x and other using the 1.2 SPL.
With WRAPPER or UNLOCKER you have the 1.2 SPL release, if you want to test a 3.x ROM you need to flash the AP4 rom.
The only differences between SPL 1.2 and 3.x are the "partitioning" of the device. AP4 needs more space for the system files, then the 3.x SPL was developed to increase the System Partition. SPL 3.x flashing IS ONE WAY ONLY, (since Cmonex relase the tool to go back): if you flash AP4 you CAN'T flash any origninal HTC ROM

Listen to what Sergiopi said.
You will always get an error running these programs unless you have an activesync connection to the ppc when you run the program.
The way you were talking I thought you had already tried to run it on your PPC

The downgrade has completed correctly, the device has first rebboted, configured the device, but hard reset for a 2nd time and then don't reboot more. I try to hard rest but it now don't want to boot.. I can acceed to bootloader it indicate SPL1.2. What can be happen? Some thing I can do? Only assistance? Any help would be appreciated very much. Excuse my bad english, I hope to have been clear enough... Thx

Sorry to hear your troubles but it would be best to post this in the thread where you found the tool.
My understanding is you need to flash an SPL 1 rom after finishing the downgrade.
Sorry for the mistake, don't know how to move the thread now... To install a SPL1.20 is was I wanted to do after the downgrade, but how to istall it if it doesn't rebbot?

STEP BY STEP:
1. make sure Athena is running WM and synced with Activesync. do not try entering bootloader mode manually!
2. extract the downloaded zip from Attachment to this post, you'll find an SPLDowngrader.EXE inside. run that EXE on your PC, now Athena should go to tricolour screen saying OliNex SSPL.
3. let the RUU flash.
4. it will reboot and also will hard reset your device. you will need to flash an OS compatible with old SPL now. job done.
5. +1: you should verify the modelid and SPL version is correct (ATHE100 and 1.20.Olipro). see "extra help" below on how to enter bootloader mode to check.

Extra help: steps to help with flashing an OS if someone never flashed from bootloader before:
0. do not freak out if the OS isn't booting after downgrade. depends on what OS was on it before. maybe you will only get black screen but do not worry, read further:
1. you should manually enter SPL, by holding camera key (ALL THE WAY IN!!) while resetting. hold it until tricolour screen appears.
2. then use some other RUU / ROM package to flash an OS compatible with old SPL. job done.
Thank you very very much! It is ok now

0. do not freak out if the OS isn't booting after downgrade. depends on what OS was on it before. maybe you will only get black screen but do not worry, read further:
1. you should manually enter SPL, by holding camera key (ALL THE WAY IN!!) while resetting. hold it until tricolour screen appears.
2. then use some other RUU / ROM package to flash an OS compatible with old SPL. job done.

Good work gendong!
PPL, you should read and the follow the steps. The information posted here was posted on the original thread.
Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Monet SSPL (SoftSPL) which allows you to flash a special USPL (UpdateSPL)
Once you have installed (flashed) the USPL you can flash any Monet ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any official or cooked ROMs.
This SPL is based on original Monet 1.05 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Monet after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. I can make you a reasonable offer to SIM unlock your device.
See here
Note that the USPL is overwritten after you install a full rom. It's not recommended to install a full rom, normally you only flash a rom component such as the OS or a splash. To check if the USPL is installed enter bootloader mode (tricolor display) there should be written "SPL-1.05.USPL".
Some users tested the SSPL and flashed a splash and two users (kioo and pptapple) succesfully installed the USPL
Anyway the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
Instructions to install USPL:
1. connect the phone with a usb cable to your PC and make sure Activesync is ready (green icon)
2. run the file SSPL.bat on your PC, it will transfer the SSPL to your device and start execution
3. the display of your Monet may turn dark, just ignore that
4. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Monet USPL - RUU.zip): this will flash the USPL to your device
The attachments include:
Monet SSPL-JumpSPL.zip : SSPL
Monet USPL - RUU.zip : USPL
Splash.zip : original Monet splash screen (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
Radio.zip : original Monet radio (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
monet-backup.zip : you can make a full backup of your Monet with this script (run monet-backup.bat)
Darksimpson htc romtool.zip : you can convert any rom part in .nb format to flashable .nbh format
OS.zip : Original Monet Lobster WM5 OS (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe) Download link here
Now it's your turn to cook some great new Roms
Update: Strik3r can develop a WM6.1 for Monet. See here
Have fun,

User kioo wrote me a PM that the USPL installed fine. Thank you very much
So the only thing which needs to be tested is to flash the original OS.
Who dares?
Once that is tested it is possible to always recover by flashing the original ROM (if the USPL is installed of course)
Thanks jockyw2001 the endeavor, what a pity my MONET has become the brick, already nobody dared to test.
The only method waits for my MONET returns, tests your great work.
Thanks!!
TEST OK!
Update: Strik3r can develop a WM6.1 for Monet. See here

thanks alechy & a russian

just see this and post...
USPL installed fine. I'd be willing to test the 6.1 rom too
im am also willing to test wm 6.1 rom for monet just let me know
I am happy to trial the 6.1 Rom too, I already have a monet that has corrupted memory and cant boot into active sync (just white screen). Any idea how I can get into bootloader device on the Monet? Since I cant get into Activesync I cant install the USPL.

I want the USPL for Modeo 3389！！ THANKS！！！
any progress?
now the lobster can update the ron
I would like to ask all of you if someone can supplement the original WM5 rom.
By the way the chinese have newer roms, but I haven't registered in there yet, the link to the forum (translated) is in the other topic, hope more people test the 6.1 )
great tools they did the trick
anyone have a new splash screen that can get rid of that annoying virgin one?
i have been trying to get rid of it since i 1st app unlocked my lobster..
