Hi all, I've created HTC Raphael CustomRUU patched to perform a 'task 32' instead of a 'task 28' after flashing an .nbh, so it will not format your device if you just flash a radio or a splash screen.
How to: Drop the .nbh file of your choice in the same folder as CustomRUU and start flashing.
Everyone NOTE:
AVG and other antivirus's usually detect a virus in CustomRUU.exe, it's false error. Disable your antivirus while downloading and flashing.
If you have problem with your antivirus try the Raphael Wrapper attached, Thanks to cmonex for this
Have fun.

RaphaelWrapper
here's another ruu that doesn't pop up antivirus warning.
I heard some people were having trouble running the first customruu. maybe this helps. (still requires .net framework of course.)
presented by raphael elite team
enjoy!
Thanks cmonex, first post updated.
Yep works fine, might be worth updating the kitchens to reflect this change.
Yup Cmonex Ruu Wrapper works great.
Since Some Guy Called l3v5y nearly bricked my Pro with a clean Rom
(stuck on Preparing your device.......... screen)
Had to Go into Bootloader mannually first, but that also works.
Let's hope the Pro version Flashes. (have to be carefull, l3v5y never sleeps, he might find out i've been bad mouthing his work and ban me)
PS: Even Flash Update Screen looks great on VGA screen, nice crisp and sharp gradient.
Hail to the wrapper
Works perfectly!!
You guys amaze me every time with your skills.
Works Great!
So to get it clear:
The wrapper also does not format the device when only flashing a splash or radio?
What is the difference between the wrapper and the custumRUU anyway?

CustomRUU and wrapper do the same job. But wrapper is modified for some antivirus giving false positives... So you can use both...

Sorry but i'm learning, this means that i don't need to install HardSPL?
If i perform a hard reset, i recover the orginal factory radio?

So, please can you explain it to me
I am so confused with all these terms (hard SPL, soft SPL, RUU).
- Do I still need to run the HardSPL, to change ONLY the Radio - or Raphael wrapper.exe is enough ?
- If I need HardSPL, will my device be formatted and lose my data ?
- How I upgrade my Radio ? I have downloaded the upgrade but except from an exe file there is another with nbh extension. How I use this file ?
Can anyone help ?
Does the CustomRUU bypass the CID check so I can flash *ANY* ROM with this tool without HardSPL?
The latest AT&T ROM has a higher SPL that the latest HardSPL and we all know what issues we had with the Kaiser using old or non matching SPL's.
Thanks!

I'm very confused as well. I would love to do a radio update but I really don't want to do a hard reset.
I know I have to use this customRUU and I already have downloaded the radio file.
Can I start upgrading right away or do I really need to use HardSPL and loose all my data?
You need Hard SPL to use this Custom RUU. Unless you are going to flash a ROM by your carrier. Cooked ROMs, radio's etc require HardSPL.
Flashing a ROM OS will override all your data (well duh )
Flashing a radio, SPL or Splash should not override your data.
Custom RUU does not bypass the CID checks.

The new AKU3.3 htc rom installs SPL-1.11 on your hermes.
This SPL has "Common Base Version : 1.51d" and some of the bootloader commands have changed, this is now more similar to Trinity bootloader.
The prompt is now shown as "Cmd>" instead of "USB>".
New commands:
getdevinfo - shows "Get CID Ok" and modelID encapsulated in HTCS + HTCE.
ResetDevice - resets the device
progress - shows a progress bar
wdata - now flashes NBH files (instead of wdatah)
password - now takes "BsaD5Se0A" as static password (info 3 and old method still works)
There's not much to worry as if you flash it on your device, it can be easily downgraded using SSPL.
It probably has other things we don't know yet, so if you find anything interesting about it, please post it here
Some new notes:
- The new RUU compatible with SPL-1.11 does a 'task 28' after flashing a NBH file, even if the NBH file doesn't contain OS. This hard-resets the device every time you use this RUU with 1.11 SPL.
- 'shmsg' command no longer exists.

Okay then the best SPL is the 1.09, with this we can upgrade the radio and still keep all our settings.
Thanx for the info!
No, the best is 1.11 with a hacked RUU that doesn't send the 'task 28' , so you can update the radio in 10 min instead of 20

No, this RUU is only compatible with SPL <=1.09.
I mean the RUU found in RUUInside.exe on the new AKU 3.3 rom from HTC.
Olipro integrated both old & new RUUs, making it compatible with all bootloader versions on Custom RUU V3, but it has yet to be modified to avoid the 'task 28' command after flashing a NBH. We still have to check if this will have any impact when flashing OS and not formating NAND after.
I'm planning to implement support for 1.11 on HERMflasher too.

We'll, if there's no negatives with this method then that's got to be the way forward. How come 1.11 can flash twice as quickly? Is it just optimisation?

As I assume this mean that avter ONLY Radio ROM upgrade follows a hard reset...so the settings and the APPS on the device is gone? I have installed the Hard-SPL 1.11Oli and now I want to upgrade the OS ROM only...that means I need a new RUU or the one with SSPL will be ok?

The one pushing SSPL is OK if you start upgrade from OS with activesync enabled.
Tried Oli's 1.11 bootloader today and it is really fester. Radio flashes in less than 5 min! Also, you can flash any radio to radio-bootloader 0108 phones...
It is true that task 28 is executed after any flash, even if you only flash the splash screen. Needs to be fixed.

it is, I've patched the RUU and pof will test it... hopefully it works fine but it might cause issues if you are flashing a proper OS ROM, so I might have to implement a checker in my RUU in case 2 versions of RUU are needed.

the SPL is the bootloader... not the bootscreen, flash your own splash screen from whatever ROM you like, it's nothing to do with me.

Sorry, I thought that the boot screen could be changed by flashing a bootloader that did in fact contain a boot screen (I thought that some did and some didn't implement boot screens)..
Hello.
Is there ANYWAY to get this spl 1.11 WITHOUT having to do this flash? I did it and STILL can't get the actual rom I want flashed to work. It keeps saying something about it not being able to open the utility or something. And not only that, on top of that, the device won't read any of my sd nor sdhc micro cards. I even tried formatting my 8gb which had a tom tom navi program on it for install and lost all of that info for nothing. Please help.
You can't use an sdhc card to flash an os. You need a 2gb or less sd card. Once an os is on it may be able to read the sdhc card through the software but we couldn't get sdhc cards (or if we could they were too expensive) when the Hermes was released so they didn't bother allowing the bootloader to recognise this.... Unfortunately you wiped tomtom needlessly...
You can put back on though.
You also need Hard SPL ver7 to flash from the sd card.
Cheers...
What I have now:
OS: Black 2.0 Cingular edition
Boot Loader: 1.01
Radio BL: 108
Radio: 1.38.10
what I want:
OS: WM 5 from the 1.34 cingular release
Boot Loader: Loader from the 1.34 cingular release
Radio BL: AFAIK you can't downgrade these so staying at 108
Radio: 1.16.00.00
How I plan to get there:
take the .nbh form the 1.34 cingular package and use RUU to flash the device.
Questions and concersion:
I'm looking for input on possible incompatabilities and hang-ups with varios BL versions and what not.
comments / feedback on my plan would be greatly appreciated and I will build a monument in your name if you help .
This has been covered before...
But, since you're well on your way to brick-ville, I'll buy your phone off you for, say, $100? It'll be worth less after you brick it...
Read up on the W*I*K*I and Oli's 1.40.Olipro bootloader before you do something dumb.
I did read it.
And thats the plan I came up with.
I was looking more for a confirmation.
The wiki has a ton of great info but its laid out reall crappy and not very cohesive. So I figured I'd post what I've came up with after reading it to see if I missed something. And from there maybe get more specific input on where the issues/dependencies are..... or maybe not.

I really appreciate the feedback. At least you're letting me know my plan wont work. Which will prevent me from trying it. But it would be kick ass if you could be more specific about what in the wiki i missed like :
-you can't flash the entire .nbh file cause it will try to replace your boot load and break it.
or
- Re-read the THREADS about 1.40 SPL because *something useful here*
Either way I'm still thankful cause I know my plan is a **** sandwich.
Very good.. You're getting there! It's nice to see someone read some directions..
You have it mostly right.. Flash the HardSPLv6 first. Then, grab the .nbh from the cingular rom and combine it with CustomRUU. Choose 'Autodetect' (we're looking for a hard-spl flash)..
Then, once that's done, you'll have the right radio, OS, splash, etc.. The only thing left would be to down-grade the bootloader, which I would advise against.. But, you can do it.. There is a seperate thread on HOW to do that, as it isn't just a one-step process.. Search and ye shall find.
Thank MAn!!! That kicks ass.
I need to send my phone back because the radio dies every 5 mintes.
So I want to get it as close to factory as possible.
So after I downgrade the BL i won't be doing anymore flashing to that phone.
Sometimes when I soft reset the phone is says "No GSM" even when sim is there. Soft reset it again and the radio is detected.
Very irritating.

Flash your original IPL & SPL versions.
F-ya! That last part about down grading the BL is the part I was having trouble pinning down.
One last question:
Can I use the cingular NBH or will it try to flash the RBL and crash because you can't down grade the RBL

Should I flash the new radio via SD card or any other way (mtty?)

This was great example on how to get people to read the wiki. I like your approach and I will try to use it in the future.
I have upgraded my 838pro to IPL - 1.04, SPL- 2.10 Olipro , Radio 1.43.00.00, OS is Black Majik .
Is it possible to upgrade from officially released wm06 rom from dopod (when its released), will it work, or give me problems.
I am newbie to upgrades. so i dont know technical things like hardspl etc.
Thanks
Pramod Naidu
Yes it is possible, but your SPL will be overwriten..
If you want to keep HardSPL, you need to extract the official SPL from the official ROM so it doesn`t get flashed onto your device

INCORRECT sir.
HardSPL will not allow a retail SPL to flash over it.
The RUU which HTC will no doubt supply it with will probably not detect your device correctly (since you are using a superior SPL hehe).
Copy ther nbh file contained in the update to a folder and use RUUWrapper.exe which will flash it no problem (use autodetect).
One more foolish question
Is my device super CID bec of hardspl, if not, if i make my device super cid, will it give me added benefits.

The only benefit of SuperCID is you can read/write to the ext_rom in windows mobile.....so not really a great benefit.
HardSPL reports itself as SuperCID.....but your device is NOT. Essentially your device is virtually SuperCID.

When I have gone back from a WM6 ROM to the Official (WM5) AT&T ROM I flashed the older (1.04 I wanna say?) version of HardSPL and it works fine and gets overwritten to the 1.11. Then if I go back to WM6 I just reflash HardSPL v7 and it works fine. I'm not sure if that actually does make it official, but I know based on the startup and bootloader screens, after going to the old HardSPL then using the AT&T Updater, everything says 1.11 and looks the same as it did before I started putting cooked ROMs on my phone.
What if its exe file
how do i extract the nbh from exe file.

Hi mrvanx,
Just a quick question regarding your answer to Shamanix...
You said here that all he needs to do is copy the their nbh file in the update and use the RUUWrapper to flash it... Surely he needs to extract only the rom, ext rom, and radio? Then recompile to a nbh file to flash?
The original nbh file is still going to contain the spl & ipl which will cause problems not so?
Sorry if i am butting in here

The flash will go ahead as normal but the SPL and IPL will NOT be written over.
Either that or just use the repackaged version of the official WM6 dopod ROM ive posted in the WM6 section.

Actually I have already flashed Hard SPL v7 in my device. I have done couple times upgrade (from WM5 to WM6 and changed differenet version of Radio)
But everytime when I run the RUUWrapper.exe, I can't use "autodetect" option, the "next" button doesn't show up and "error" message comes, and ask me to use "force SSPL" instead of "autodetect".
I do click "yes" during the process, when it ask me to allow a file to run on my device.(during click on the "autodetect")
Anyway, using force SSPL method works for me, but I just wondering I fully follow all steps from mrvanx guide already, so what is the problem?
And could anyone tell me what's the difference between follow 3 options:
1. SPL 2.02/2.1 new bootloader
2. Force using SSPL
3. Autodetect
during upgrade process?
Sorry that I post this question, Coz' even I have searched this forum, but still a bit confused abt them.
Appreciated.
with that version of spl auto detect does not work....it is a feature.
check the hard spl forum to find more about it.

No need,
you could always choose "SPL 2.02/2.1 new bootloader" and check "Is it Hard-SPL?" when you flash a new ROM.

You have to use SSPL When you update a new version Hard-SPL,
Because Hard-SPL can only update by SSPL,
If your new ROM include a SPL but you don't know and you check "Force SSPL" and then your Hard-SPL will be covered with the SPL which include in your new ROM,
It's dangerous for your Hermes to lose Hard-SPL,
That's all.

Thanks very much Aikon!
After your explaination and reading lots of articles from web.
I have figured out couple of points, I hope it helps people who are also confused or do not understand what they are doing when flashing radio or ROM.
1. HardSPL v7 could be overwrite when Force using SSPL only. So Force using SSPL only use when u want to flash SPL or new version of HardSPL released. Otherwise, do not use this option
2. Although force using SSPL overwrites IPL/SPL, we do not have IPL/SPL in radio ROM or OS (because we have repackaged the OS). That's why nothing happened even using force using SSPL option
3. Therefore basically after we have HardSPL v7 in our device, we should use "SPL2.02/2.1 new bootloader" and check the "is it hard spl " box everytime when we use RUUWrapper to flash radio or OS ROM
4. That's why using SSPL_HERM.exe method could overwrite SPL, and those people needed to reflash again HardSPL after OS upgrade.
Pls correct me if anything I mislead or wrong.
BTW, I still don't understand why I can't use "Autodetect" option. Since I follow all step from mrvanx guide already.
What I thought is after we have hardspl and using the latest RUUWrapper.exe , everything should be exactly same as what mrvanx guide tells. We should be able to use AUTODETECT instead of "using force SSPL"or "SPL2.02/2.1"
Pls help if anyone knows why!?
Hi kinghung,
I had the same problem and I found out, that you can use "Auto-Detect" when you click first on "is it hard spl". After you activated "is it hard spl" and a click on "Autodetect" you get the right setting marked.
Don't know why it's so, but it works!?

Yes, your viewpoints from 1 to 4 are right,
I don't know the reason why I can't use "Auto Detect",
I always choose manually.
I have lately found the same issue.
But I checked my device and oli 2.10 was there. So I just went ahead and forced the flash. and all was OK.
Ticking off hard SPL and oli 2.10 also worked fine.
The main thing to do is to ensure that you have oli 2.10 on you device before flashing any RUU file.

First of all, thanks a lot!
I have just tried your method, but it still doesn't work,the "error" message still comes out and asks me to use force using SSPL.

Hi Aikom, appreciated!
I still don't understand why the"AUTODECT" doesn't work for me and some other Hermes users.

From my understanding, your points are partial correct.
If there is no IPL/SPL inside the ROM u are going to flash, either using force SSPL or pick 2.02/2.1 SPL , both method work and safe!
But if unfortunately someone flashing a ROM with IPL/SPL inside, the current hardSPL would be overwrote if u using force SSPL!!
It's dangerous!

Thanks for your explanation!! Right now I have a much clear concept about flashing!!
And I just notice why the bootloader has changed after I flashed my hermes from WM5 to WM6? Thanks again!!^^
This thread helped me a lot
I was experiencing the same error but thanks to your explanation i could install the rom!!!! Thanks a lot.

That's make much more sense to me.
I had the same problem, chose the "Force" option, and now when I check the bootloader option it says SPL-2.Olipr, meaning it hasn't changed, even though I chose the "Force" option.
Wrong tread - moved
AUTODETECT doesn't work for me too. I have HERM100.
By the way - if I choose "SPL-2.02/2.10 New Bootloader" and tick "Is it Hard-SPL?", after clicking "Next", there is a red text saying that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and I must have 1.11 Hard-SPL installed. But I have 2.10... should I ignore this? ;/

The same with my HERM300.
If you have correctly checked the options for Bootloader version, then yes, ignore the warning.
After flashing my locked T-mob vario dutch (for the 20st time) it now is bricked.
I tried to flash the Fun_Key_rom.
Hermes is stuck on the HTC logo 1pl-1.01 and SPL-2.03 not Super CID. (because of the warranty). I followed the thread about unbricking, but untill now no result.
I can flash it with Ruu.exe (and ruuwrapper.exe) the option 2.02/2.10 works for me untill 1% and then I get a invallid vendor ID.
I read the thread over and over again, but didn't seem to get how to unbrick it. Do I need to have a special rom? or other software?
no you need to flash Hard SPL on your phone right now!!! you can always unflash the HardSPL at a later date but you where just asking for a brick by not flashing HardSPL in the first place!

Had no problems for all those times..untill now I know it was stupid.
Trying to flash Hard SPL I got a 260 update error on the HardSPL v7. I also tried it with another upgrader and got an 270 error. It installed until 100% but no result.

Yes, you need to use CustomRUU to avoid the invalid vendor ID. It bypasses the CID check. That is why it works, even though you are not superCID.
Regarding the 260 error, try a couple things.
If you can, try SD flashing.
If you cannot do SD method, try using "manual bootloader" method:
- Put phone in bootloader mode
- NOW attach to USB lead
- Start CustomRUU
If that does not work, try taking the battery out for a while (5 minutes) and then try again.

Where can I get CustomRUU,Could'nt find it on XDA. Is it the same as RUUwrapper and RUUupdate?

It may be the RUUWrapper you have, but you can get it at THIS THREAD You may already have used it though, on the one that did not give you the invalid vendor error. Use it with the nbh file. If you only have an exe, then you can use winrar to take it apart into 2 files - the ruu file (the updater) and the nbh (the ROM itself). Once you are using the right CustomRUU, try the things I mentioned in my previous post.
Other things to be sure of...
If you are using Vista, check with MrVanx guides to see what you need to do.
You must have...
ActiveSync 4.5
.NET framework 2 or higher
Thanks for ur help. Really appr. it.
When I use the CustomRuu on any nbh file I'll get the Update error (260).
If I use the same nbh file on the RUU.exe file and I choose the 2.02/2.10 option it flashes my mobile till 1%. Then I get error 274 Invalid Vendor ID.
I see on the forum a lot of people bricked there Tytn on SPL 2.03.
Is Mr. Olipro having an solution?
Have you tried these things...

What were the specific errors for each method? I know you cannot get 260 with SD card flash method.

You are in a quite bad situation. I am not well aware about all the new ways to backup bricked hermes; but as far as I know the only remaining possibility for you is to flash your device using the default flasher AND a rom matching your CID.
Hopefully tmobile dutch released an updated WM5 release for your phone. You should be able to flash it, setup hardspl, and flash anything you want; but in a safe way this time.
There is maybe a way to tweak the CID of cooked ROM, but don't know anything about it (and there will certainly be signing issues).
In order to get your CID and see if something matching it is available at the wiki read the wiki about mtty (as far as I remember it is something like "type 2").

I got another error on cooked roms (26008 or something) and when I put an org. carrier rom on the card it says checking but will not install because its not a legal rom.
Because of a hardware error I had to return my Tytn today..while it still is bricked. Hope Tmob will be kind and fix this for me along with the hardware issue
