I was following the instruction here on how to backup and re-flash your own Hermes ROM:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/...ring-your-htc-hermes-rom/page/20/#entry894621
After I completed the last steps 9 of running RUUWrapper.exe, the screen told me that my ROM upgrade have completed successfully. then I looked at my Hermes and the screen is black and and it seems to be powered off.
After exited RUUWrapper.exe my PC Activesync icon is gray.
So I tried to soft reset and also hard reset, nothing happends.
I took battery out overnight and put back in and hit power and still won't turn on.
I plug USB cable in and the charge indicator amber light doesn't come on, if I have the battery out while USB cable plugged in, the charge LED will become red, but as soon as I put the battery back in the red LED goes away and doesn't turn amber color (the normal charging LED)
I've read both of the following:

Common Upgrading Problems in HTC Hermes
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem6
any suggestions please??
Will doing the KITL+PB to try to boot OS will help? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
But my Hermes won't even turn on now?
First thing I'd try (if you know someone with a hermes like yours) would be to swap batteries and see if theirs wont turn on with your battery and if your hermes will with his battery. Or you could go to a phone shop and see if they have a spare battery lying aroud to try (with the added promise of a potential sale if it works). Hope you can fix it though... Cheers...
Actually I just swap battery with my friend's working Hermes and his can turn on with my battery, and mine still won't turn on with his battery.
Seems there's very little I can do if my Hemes won't even turn on or response with USB cable plugged in.
Any other suggestion? I'm getting pretty desperate.
sounds like a hardware problem. if its under warranty, take back. If not, and you really wanna get fixed, you might have to pay. Check pricing first though as you may decide to upgrade instead.
i hav exactly the same problem. herme 300 t-mobile bootloader 1.11 (ipl 1.01) i never managed to flash it ether with sd card or from my pc (winxp). i recieved different errors: invalid vendor, not allowed... help plz
sorry form the poor english
paloma728, you need to sim/cid unlock your phone, HERE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
THEN you need to Hard SPL your phone... HERE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
But 1st you need to do some reading through those threads I just gave you. Also look for mrVanxs upgrading guide. You wouldn't have got in trouble if you had've first done some research....
Hope this helps you out of your mess... Cheers..
ultramag69. with all respect, how can i cid or sim unlock it. my herm stk in bootloader 3color screen. sometimes turns on but the screen remains black (displays nothing) by the way this was the result of wrong flashing (idont know how bkz i gave i to a friend to do the job 4 me!! . may u help me out of this. actually i did alot of reading but couldnt find any solution to my device.
thx 4 ur concrn
1st thing I'd try to do is to Hard SPL the phone. That was on page 116 of the "Hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes" thread I directed you to. It shows how to do using sd card. Then try to reflash with stock rom. This should get you back to where you started. Use the sd card method as I don't think you'll be able to use the pc. I don't know if this will work as it sounds like your friend also didn't Hard SPL your phone.
You REALLY shouldn't let anyone play around with such an expensive toy without proof that they know what they are doing (for example, own one themselves and have flashed their own MULTIPLE times with no problems) ... You might have a very expensive paperweight, and a bit more wisdom about letting others do what you should have learnt to do yourself.
All the best and I hope you get it working... Cheers...
i tried the solution u gave but didnt work too. the solution works with unbricked devices i gues (able to copy and excute files from it) but for me i tried to boot only the"HERMIMG.nbh" from the sd card (4 color screen or just black screen) & wich shows the following error code:00068002
thx for ur help.
paloma728, try flashing a stock rom. yu can do this by the sd card method too. I REALLY don't know if this will work but at this point it can't hurt. Nothing to loose and everything to gain... As it is the "right" update it MAY pass the CID check. Hope all goes well... Cheers..
your battery topped off while being plugged is my best guess. i dont think it's with the flashing of the rom at all
im new to this stf. (stock room)?. is it the exacly the method of copying the "RUU_signed.nbh" file to sd card and rename it to "HERMIMG.nbh" ?
if this is what u meant by stk rm then im not lucky again. i tried it b4 with many different rooms & always get errors
plz may u explain? thx for ur help & concern
today i downloaded an original room from t-mobile NL then tried the sd method & i recieved a new error code:"00028002 not allowed".
what does it mean plz?
You may have to take back to your supplier and see if they can fix under warranty if that didn't work. Don't hold your breath though...
unfortunatly there's no splr in here (morocco). thx alot mate

...something similar happened to me. unfortunately i was not able to fix it myself.
so i sent it to repair. it was repaired under warranty...
interesting is, that they fixed it very quickly without even opening it.
there must be a way to do it... but how...
try to ask itsme from this forums...
maybe there is a way to boot it over eboot and upload new bootloader or talk to it with direct serial cable
good luck

thanks alot buzz_lightyear
yah smae here i was thinking about buying serial cable,,,,, :roll:
thanks for telling me it did happen to u lol

Dead XDAII with no screen
I have a situation like that before, goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13651
Hope you get to recover your XDAII
Ok, so I tried to flash my G4 wizard to wm6, went all the way through the flash, got to 99% and stopped, giving me a comm error. I did the recovery and im in an endless flash to 99% loop. When I turn it on, I get the bootloader (3 stripe) screen, with the following:
RUU upper right corner
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
USB lower left corner.
I have spent the last 4 hours reading posts and cannot fix this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did u flash it back to carrier rom?
Flash it back to the original carrier ROM (should be available on the website) and then use ShellTool to flash the ROM. make sure that you follow the instructions exactly, otherwise, you will end up with a bricked rom.
-Nstefanelli-
The only rom I can find on Cingular's web site, once downloaded says its corupted, and I cant find one on XDA at all. Anybody know where else I might find one?
Wizard Love rom is another one you could try.
Wizard Love got me goin again, I love me some wizard.
Thanks for the help guys!!!
Same Problem I Have Faced.... And Also Solved.
u have Radio Rom problem....
search the latest radio rom and upload to your rom... and restart your pda...
reply me..... sooon because same problem i had faced and solved also.
Same problem
I was having the same problem yesterday. Eventually i got it to work again. It was a little confusing though because i used the rom from the HTC website to get it up and running again with wm5 and then used ShellTool from the sticky in this forum to flash it with a wm6 rom. From what i gather it's because my phone was CID locked, something that none of the roms include in their instructions to watch out for. Maybe a sticky in the forum for newbs like me containing things to watch out for while flashing roms?
A side note:
I had to download the rom from the HTC site twice in order for it to flash back to the original OS. The first time i downloaded the rom i kept getting an error. I guess it was a bad download or something but the second one worked in the first shot.
think i bricked my wizard

There is no help for you if you did flash a non-official G3 rom onto your phone.
Recent Official carrier releases are the only roms that contain bootloaders that are safe to flash into a G4. (Note older carrier releases could possibly fry your phone as well as they may not contain G4 bootloaders)
If you flashed a custom rom with IPL/SPL your device is done for good.
Though you said it went to the bootloader prior to going dark so you may just have a dead battery and a bad flash. Get a battery from a friend or buy one and then see if the device will power on. If you can't get it to power on with a known good battery then it is most likely fried. If it does boot at least to bootloader then you should be able to recover your device. Most chargers will not charge the battery of your phone unless the phone is fully booted into windows. So it is very important to have a contingency plan in case of a bad flash with these phones as playing/troubleshooting while trying to recover from a bad flash will drain your battery possibly leaving you with not enough juice to complete a flash.
hi zzan
thanks for the reply, i think your right about the battery it actually turns on for about 10 seconds now into bootloader but then the battery dies again so i gonna source a battery.

Remove the battery for about 5 minutes, then put it back in.. then try booting in bootloader mode <tri color screen> .. then flash with an OFFICIAL Carrier ROM ..
I flashed my hermes yesterday <changing the spl and stuff> and it was dead for a little bit, until I took the battery out and put it back in.. <for some reason it was like a de-fibrilator..>
Try that.

A new chip?!?!??
The problem is the in the IPL area which can now be flashed only via JTAG (cable system that doesn't require booting files since it operates directly on the chip)
Take it to an official repair.
Hi,
I have almost the same problem. I tried to flash to WM6.1 for wizzard, it got to 99% and failed (connection lost). I then tried the recovery process but that didnt work.
Now I can boot to the booloader, and see the IPL/SPL versions (2.25.0001) and can see USB on the lower left. But , it is not making a connection to my PC. None of the RUU, ROMS, HardSPL, or SoftSPL apps can connect to it.
They all report some connection error, "Device not found", or "Connection Error 264"...
I have read a bunch on this forum, and tried alot of stuff but nothing worked.
I started up my own thread on my issue, but hope someone could help me, help someone else in the process here..
How can I get this thing flashable again?
Thanks

Fully recharge your battery, then try to flash again. Low/dead/misreporting battery will kill a flash as surely as disconnecting the cable in mid-flash. Oh, and try WizFlo...really cool! (I had to fiddle with the Opera Browser install to get the Internet connection to work correctly, but who cares, it was worth it!)
Right, This is the basic Hard-SPL package; if you already have applied Hard-SPL with the unlocker then DO NOT BOTHER TO USE THIS PACKAGE.
This program is now foolproof as the SPL is flashed directly from the bootloader rather than from the OS so there's no opportunity for anything to go wrong.
for this to work, 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.
Thank you! I won't be waitin', though...
Whatever Trevor.

I m reelly sad and i'm wainting for your help.
Olipro said:
OK... just to make this clear.
Go to the Athena forum and download the unlocker; do Step 1 to flash Hard-SPL.
after that you can close the program if you don't need to unlock.
if I come out with new releases of Hard-SPL, the package will be posted here.

Unlocker for x7501?
Is this unlocker suitable for the x7501 WM6 unit as well? Also do you still need to flash the SPL on the x7501?
Lastly what is "SPL" and why can you brick your device if you don't carry out this upgrade?

Are you able to get into bootloader? If I read correctly the answer should be no but I wanted to confirm either way. If no, how have you tried to get into bootloader? Key sequence in other words? Have you removed the SD card also?
You are correct, I cannot seem to get into the bootloader or even get the device to come alive at all. I tried camera + reset, volume down + reset, volume down + camera + reset, I looked all over the forum and found a few others but still no luck. All I see is the red LED around the Joystick either become solid lit (without battery in and on AC) or blink lit (with battery in and on AC). The light stays solid lit with battery out and all key combinations tried and does the quick blink lit with battery in and all key combinations as long as reset is pushed. Basically, it would seem that the reset key is working by resetting the circuit to the battery but the device just wont boot up.
I will be sending this unit back anyway due to a manufacturing defect of the SD card slot. When this particular unit was built, I guess no one actually checked to see if the a (mini not micro) SD card fits in, cause IT DON'T!! The slot was missed by about 2mm being to narrow in width...GEESH!!
I am not too happy with hardware of the 7501 right now and probably will look at getting the 7500 or Dopod version for "cooked ROM" pleasure but my advice to others reading this would be to not run out and get the 7501 at the lower price given the problems I am seeing. However, on a positive note, the few hours I did get the 7501 running, it was a blast and I still give the overall performance a 4.5 out of 5 star rating being the most complete and fastest PDA Phone I have had the pleasure to work with.

Man that sucks. Seems like you've tried the correct combination of keys to get into bootloader...just make sure you were pressing that camera button firmly because it's known not to take unless you do this.
What operating system is on your computer BTW? Windows XP/Vista?
I'm not sure I understood the problem with the SD Card. Do you mean to say that when you tried to put in a mini-SD card (not Micro), it wouldn't fit into the slot?
First of all sorry for my english not good.

Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.

I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")
Yesterday i put my hd2 in my pocket without locking the screen. when i heard it surfing around the menues i took it back up and tried to take it back to homescreen. As many times before the phone refused to respond so i took out the battery. But when powering it back on the **** wont pass the htc startup-screen!
I have read around this forum quite alot now and i have done hard reset a million times, i have installed an original updated rom from htc`s site. When this didn`t work i installed hspl3, Artemis v270 NOR and RADIO_2.07.51.22_2. And it still wont start!
Im getting quite sick of experimenting, so i`d be really happy if any of you smartguys could help me

Flash a radio that does not have ".51" in the name. Flash a radio that has ".50" instead. ***Make sure the ".50" radio is 2.06+ (don't flash anything below 2.06.50.xx).
Okay, thanks for your reply But i still cant make it work, are you sure its the radio causing this problem? I`ve now tried RADIO_2.10.50.28_2 (this is the only one with "50" in it among the recomended radios in the artemis thread...) , RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and the mentioned above RADIO_2.07.51.22_2.7z.
Should i just keep going?
One more thing. When 2.12 and 2.10 was installed, the phone restarted by its self after about 30-60 sec on htc bootscreen. if that means anything?

It's usually the radio that's the problem -- if your phone gets stuck on the bootscreen.
I'm not sure what else might be the problem.
Just in case, try this: Task 29, flash a .50 radio, flash a stock ROM (via USB), hard-reset.
If that fails, I don't know what else to say...
i tried the task 29 witout luck A couple more weird things though.. when i try to install a rom from the memory card, the bootloader doesn`t start the installation. I just says "serial". And Yes its formated with fat32 and im sure im doing it right. The other thing is that the phone starts by itself about 60sec after plugging in the charger.. i`m guessing this have to be a hardware problem. might be the usb connector as many seem to have problems with.
I`ve now put in a stock spl and will send it back for repair tomorrow.
Dammit, hspl i still there. Is the only way to remvoe it by using the sd-card? then i might be fu..ed regarding the warranty :S

I think so. Someone with more experience might be able to provide a more confident answer.
Are you sure you're renaming the ROM as "LEOIMG.nbh" (no quotes) and putting it in the root of the SD-card?

Hello dude!
Try using a microSD smaller than 8gb and formated with FAT32 (it's a known fact that 16gb microSD does not work for flashing.....).
If you want to remove the HSPL there is 2 ways:
1 - Flash a stockROM via SDcard, like you are trying to do.
OR
2 - Use the HSPL2 program to revert to the original SPL state.
If you could enter the bootloader, probably your phone does not need any special repairs.. Anyway.......
Try using a smaller SDcard to flash the radio and the ROM again. You could also try flashing via USB/PC.....
Do not forget to redownload the ROM, it could be a "bad download".

hello guys,
someone at htcedia posted this fixes:
1) Install you HSPL.
2) Install your cooked rom.
3) Upgrade your radio. (Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26)
4) Do Hard reset. (Hold Vol up and down also end call button) then press (Red reset button under back cover next to battery)
Fixes Freezing on HTC bootup screen.
and for me, when i remove the micro sd card the phone bootup but when the micro sd card is in the phone it wont.
so try to remove the micro sd card then reset a hard or soft reset ur device, keep ur micro sd out until ur r completely loaded, then put ur sd card back in the phone.
