I have been wanting to unlock/upgrade my 8125(G3) for awhile finally I got the time to try (just in case something went wrong). After reading previous posts everything went well. I am now running WM5 w/Touch Flo many thanks to the dev.
The 8525 I am working on now this i have a few questions on:
1.) The screen flashes to fast on reboot to see what the SPL/IPL is so do I
assume this is a G4? If not how do I find this info?
2.) Just for educational sake I attempted to use sSPL that was supplied w/
the WM5 (touchflo) rom (G4 Safe) on the 8525; The instructions say
sometimes it doesnt go to white screen so you can begin flashing just
close everything out and try again; I tried around 10 or so times...
3.) Some of the post in these forums are just amazing props goes out to
this whole community; however most if not all use terms that I can only
guess at by the sentence the are in so if anyone could help out it would
be great.
I get the concept of flashing the G4 with tricking the phone into thinking its CID unlocked and all i think i'm just missing something... any help would be appreiciated TIA
If I am not mistaken you better have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The Hermes-forum would be more appropriate for your questions ...
Thanks for the reply, what was throwing me off was the fact that under "Hermes" the '8525' is not listed w/ the other phones. I figured this would be one of the more popular phones since it is the 8125 replacement @ our At&t store.
After posting the first post I did some reading and I think I've got everything I need. The HardSPL seems to be the way to go, and the software that does a check to make sure its a G4 before proceeding is awesome! Thanks for the help, thanks to all the developers here in this forum as well.
Hey there, I've been anxious to flash my xv6800. I've been reading and searching extensively in the forums and FAQs and the Wiki (I don't usually post until my frustration is out of control). I've found some useful info here:
How-to for Wizard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
but didn't see the G3/G4 designation on my splash screen (dead end)
How do I go about flashing to a DCD rom (or any custom rom for that matter)? Is there software I need to install on my comp and are there any steps specific to the xv6800 verizon firmware?
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks
I'm in a similar situation to you. I found this helpful guide the wiki here and it got me started. I also posted a similar plea on the DCD's Titan Rom thread so see if a response turns up there. Good luck and PM me if you find anything helpful. The title of your thread makes it a good place to post for the likes of us.
edit: I bet if this was made a sticky and some informed people posted some helpful info, us noobs would stay out of other threads asking for answers. (sound of kitten stuck in tree)
i need help too
well i got impatient and just downloaded dcd 1.6.10 and just clicked on the .exe without doing anything else. its currently doing its thing, hope it works!
You so crazy! I hope that works, but I have my doubts. The version you're referring to, 1.6.10, is for DCD's Titan kitchen. AFAIK, the kitchen's for cooking your own rom. Cooking is different from flashing as far as I can tell. I think you'll now find that you're ready to make your own rom on your PC, but that still leaves us unsure of how to prepare for and execute the actual rom replacement on the Titan. Right, wrong, Bueller?
it didnt work. it was stuck at 0% forever and then gave an error. i took the battery out and back in and am back to how i was before. no brick
i think i need some sort of bootloader. "re-locker" ? i cant find this when searching.
i thought dcd 1.6.10 is a rom for everyone, and kitchen is for those who want to make their own roms? im so confused.

I tried to load dcd's and the official rom and the same thing happens to me, stuck at 0% then connection error.
Been trying to get some info from ppcgeeks.com but the forum has been down since yesterday.
What are we doing wrong?
Throw you a bone
OK, you guys sound real clueless (actually only a little more clueless than me!) so I'll help out. The ROM by itself is all ready to flash to your phone, like reinstalling a new operating system on your PC. The kitchen can be used to customize your own ROM, but I'd suggest you guys read up a bit more before going here. The garden variety ROMs that DCD and others provide is fine for now.
There are utilities on this forum to get you out of the bootloader screen if you get stuck (heppened to me last night). Search around a bit, and certainly read up a bit before flashing. These things are real complicated, but it takes a bit of understanding because the steps MUST be done in the right order, and many impatient folks dive in and get screwed, then complaign to the folks who gave them the files to begin with!

Maybe ur misunderstanding what's happening.
Whenever I try to flash the device Windows Mobile Device Center closes both the screen on my Mogul and the window on the host pc never moves from 0%
Hope that helps
OK - I'm new to this also but have a question. I know data is lost so does that mean I need to re-establish all my email accounts and contact lists? I installed the cab to allow you-tube and bluetooth data to my tomtom. Also the Touch commander. Is all that gone and I have to redo that as well? Is there a suggested utility to back up as much as possible to restore? I sync with my company email via exchage. Right now everything is basically working fine so hate to take a chance.

Hey Guys, I keep trying to flash my Touch pro, and No matter what rom I use (minus the stock rom) it just sits at the "htc Rapael" screen, then restarts. I've unlocked with the SPL-0.37.CMONEX unlocker. tried the other one from the elite team, and I always get a corrupt message after it flashes.
The only rom I can flash onto this thing is the stock rom someone "Dumped" (DL from ppcgeeks).
I tried searching a bunch of times, but it's also a bit hard when you're at work and you're sitting next to a dead phone trying not to bug hehe...
Thanks guys.
Do you have a CDMA Touch Pro by any chance? IE does it have a SIM card or not? If not, either go over to the Raphael CDMA ROM section or go back to PPCGeeks before you brick your phone with the GSM ROMs
Have you changed your hard SPL package?
Quit trying to kill your phone. You clearly need cdma roms with that spl. Reading won't kill you. Not reading may kill your phone.
I tried both the Elite's 1.9 SPL and the 0.37-CMONEX SPL. Yes I have a CDMA Phone. I know I can brick it with the GSM spl, but nothing I've tried is working, and I've search so far, with no luck. I'm not too worried about bricking it. I have the insurance so it's not too much to get a new one. I'm assuming the 1.9 is GSM because although they DON'T specify, they mention things like 3G and ATT.
which is why I'm assuming it fails. there's no specifics to the ROM developement thread (as to which GSM or CDMA phone you have) so I figured if it's a ROM question it should go here? If it belongs in the CDMA section can I move it there?
Like I said, even with the .37-CMONEX SPL I can only flash the Stock rom. Any Idea's?
Go post in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=465
This is a GSM forum-you're in the wrong one. You don't even own a Raphael, you own a Herman. Check the CDMA forum or go to ppcgeeks.
Also, insurance will not cover 'user-inflicted' damage to your device. If you try to pry it open, they won't cover it. If you try to 'modify' the software features of the device (IE flashing a ROM), they won't cover it.
I'm sorry I didn't know this was a GSM only forum, I thought it was for all Rom Developement ( now I know that it's technically not raphael but herman).
and Insurance covers phones that have been run over, lost in the ocean, stole. it's not that hard to make a phone dissapear, or get run over.

That would be known as "insurance fraud" and is a felony.

Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL
I am stuck with the same thing.
If i could only geat a new HSPL for spl 3.03.0000

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

that´s exactly where my problem is...
my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...
i tried to decrypt it for finding information about my model, but the only information i can get is the day of production by the first few numbers and letters :/

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:

Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..
tictac0566 said:
Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
