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.
Hey u guys, I have 2.60 SPL Olipro (it gave an error when installing it on the 100%, but in bootloader mode its what appears so i guess it is installed ). Either way Im trying to update my Radio ROM and i cant seem do it. Ive got the radio rom file and the custom RUU, although everytime i try to update it gives an error at 7% an the PDA gets stuck in the bootloader and the only solution is to install the orginal HTC ROM. in addition, the phone is not Super CID or something, it is unlocked by factory...
Geez nobody here can tell me how to flash a radio rom? i have superCID, hard spl 2.10... I already have the radio rom i want and a custom ruu, but it always gives me a "flash write" error.
Dear Gentlemen,
I mad a big Mistake, I flashed my room with the Radio NBH file, My room v. 1.25 , IPL-V1.00
ATHE100, SPL-V1.07.0000. I download the new Radio 1.57 NBH file and use the ROMUpdateUtility.exe wich I got it from the Temp files came from upgrading the room to 6.5. coz I did not know how to upgrade the radio.
The proccess began and after few seconds the device stope responding except that I can but it in bootloader status. I think the Room is dameged and I need a way to recover the system again and upgrade it to the leatest ver.
Please if someone can Help.

Sorry to hear this.
You should have read a bit more first as you would have realised that you can't flash a radio without unlocking.
Using the unlocker would have changed the SPL to 1.2 and allowed you to flash the radio.
Have you tried doing a hard reset first?
You can only flash the original branded ROM for your machine now if you can find it.
Have a look in the wiki for original shipped roms.
I have a feeling the SPL1.07 was a dutch or german ROM that is very hard to find.
Good luck

This is my first thread so I hope Im not double posting with my question. I am trying to get my HD2 back to stock, I have downloaded the official t-mobile rom from htc. Whenever I try to flash ROM from sd card or any radio it gets stuck at 96% or 99%. I have tried hspl 2.08 and if I do 2.08.0000 nothing will flash at all. I am at my wits end because I have tried every suggestion and have searched high and low through the threads. Any help is appreciated.
Hey! If you installed some other roms (wm, wp or android) you need program task 29!
It will clean your flash memory. After that you need to know what was the original spl on your phone (like 2.08.0000 or 3.05.0000) SPL, not HSPL! Flash your stock SPL! reboot, enter in bootloader again and connect phone in to pc, flash your stock rom while you in bootloader through pc! It works for me 100% Enjoy)
I have a Taiwan unbranded unlocked Titan still on SPL 1.10 (hasn't updated?).
I can't flash anything, roms, SPL, HSPL. I always get an error along the lines of "failed to get version." The updater detects the phone and I see the loading bar on the phone as well as my computer but it always fails.
Any ideas? Even if it did work I'm not honestly not sure what order to flash things in because I can't find a guide for SPL 1.10.
dude, use y cable to flash a ROM, or since u have 1.10 SPL go and HSPL ur phone.
Like I said I get the version error when I try to HSPL.
Flash Europe_eterity_2.05 or 2.5 ROMm via goldacard then do HSPL
