Need help.....
Recently i helped my friend to upgrade his xda2 to HIMA_WM5_3[1].33a_AKU23_Virgy_build_SP1, and i dont understand why after i have successfully upgraded and it was ok to run for few minutes, but when the device turn off automatically, it cant be on anymore, i did a softreset, it stuck on the boot screen and refuse to boot.
i tried softreset /hardreset for few times, but it still stuck there. sometimes stuck there with the backlight on but sometime doesn't. I went into bootloader mode and downgrade to its original 2003 rom, but the problem still there.
Out of 20 softreset, i might be lucky enough to get the system run for once, but it will still stuck there if i softreset or take out the battery to change the simcard.
I have tried many siily things like remove the battery, change battery (i thought its the battery problem at the first place), downgrade, upgrade, downgrade, upgrade, pray to god............but nothing works.
Save me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i also have the same problem

I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...
Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

I have got an spv m3100. I have allready upgrade it to wm6 with your help. It has been working fine for over a year now but last knight it gave me a lot of problems so i decided to flash it again. I am tring to connect the ppc to the pc with active sync but it doesnt. I have tryed it to 3 - 4 pcs but no luck and there for i cannot flash it. I also did a hard reset it reboted install all its programs by it self but it still doesnt connect to the active sync.
Any help how to flash it from the biginig pls ??
Thanks in advance
Succeded
Sorry to bug you before guys i have succeded to flash it and its all fine all i needed it it was to connect once .
Now if its posible i want to know if there is any article to read about the battery or any soft about it
Thnks again
Mate, install Hard SPL V7 (if you haven't already ) and use the sd card method to install roms...
Go to page 116 post 1160 of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
for the sd card method to install Hard SPl. To use the sd card method to install a ROM, drop the steps with sspl.exe in them - I believe its steps 5 & 6.
Make sure the sd card is 2 Gb or less, formatted FAT32 and the .nbh file is named hermimg.nbh.
Cheers...
Hi mate
Ok after i flashed in the morning it started working fine for a period of time and then it started the moves again. What it actually does is that the phone is not working the device boots ok with the programs but the phone is not working at all and if it does whene i try to make a call the whole ppc is freezing.
I have tried the hard spl that you provided and i flash it. All ok. Now the problem is that after all the reboots and the freezing to get the phone working the system crash and i tried to flash it again to wm6 the one that i had for over a year now. It reboots the ppc perfectly and i can see in the three color the hard spl ok version 2.10 but when its upgrading to wm6 it freezes to 12%
Any suggestions pls
Thnks a lot
sounds like your radio rom has been corrupted. You can try to flash the shipped stock rom but it may be a permanent brick.
To check, go to settings>system>device info. Check you have a radio rom version and protocol version. If you don't then you have a brick on your hands, sorry...
This seems to be the Achilles heel with the Hermes.
Hi again and i am really sorry to bug you
Here is what i did after trying and messing around with the softwares of the ppc i decided to check for once the hardware like you said about the ratio. I basicly took the whole phone apart to pieces and cleaned it with alcohol and a brush, dodnt know if its the right way but i have to tell you that it worked. It stop give me troble with the phone it starts perfectly and works perfectly except for sometimes that the sigla goes off witch it shoudnt. With the hard spl that you provided it looks a little bit faster too and i am very gradefull.
The thing that remains is that from day one that the problem started the battery witch is new it ends really quick. two days ago before the problem it could last for 2-3 days but now it last bearly for one .
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks for your time.
Just remember that 3G uses a LOT of battery power when in an area that isn't very good for it.
If you flashed a new rom that is using 3G (also check which radio you should be using) and you were using the GSM network before, it could be this that is the problem.
I myself am finding that the battery is going REALLY fast at the moment as I'm working in an area with bad reception. The radio has to work harder to keep signal strength so the battery is consumed fast.
Cheers...
Hello!
It's insane, here is the description.
The android booted up just in safe mode.
The winmo had faults, so I've decided to change the whole system, with task 29.
At first I've changed my radio to the 2_12_50_02_2 version.
Than I've started the task29, the one what do not needs the radio.
Thats all I've done, and now I cannot reach the boot loader, or anything else.
The vol up and start trick is not working.
Please give me a solution, I need this phone working, I need a solution, and I appreciate every tip.
Thank You in advance!!!!
its volume down, not up.
same problem for me here
i did task29 and it was all fine, 100% reached and then the HD2 did a reboot, stopping at the black screen with the white HTC logo.
then as always i removed the battery and put it in again, holding vol down und clicking power-up once.
nothing happend... the phone vibrated once and got back to the HTC logo.
NO bootloader!
please do not tell me i'm too dumb to enter bootloader, i've been flashing custom roms for 6 months now!
my latest rom was Goatrip 6.0 and HSLP is 2.08
yesterday when goa6 was still "alive" the volume-down button worked fine, so the problem cant be some dust or dirt beneath the buttons.
edit: i've also tried flashing via SD card (clean FAT32 formatted 2gb card) the original stock rom 3.14 and a custom rom,
none of them is working either
every single hint of how i could solve this issue would be great!
hope to here from u guys
Remove the SD card and try again to go into BootLoader mode.
i have tried all methods and variations but i cant enter bootloader...
now i have found this thread:
--eeeeek cant post links --
its referring to the TP2 but i thought i would give it a try!
i've done this sketchy voldown+power+usbcable+batteryplugin thing but no result, even after 10 attempts :-(
Since you removed the battery, are all the pins straight?
those 5 (2 1 2) pins are in good shape
i cant post a link yet, ill send it to u via PM
posting links enabled:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/122134-task29-didnt-complete-cant-enter-bootloader.html
i got it!
my stepfather owns a HD2, too.
i plug mine into his docking station while i was on the phone with htc support... just because i was bored waiting in the queue.
after the phone call i tried once again to enter bootloader e voila => boooom 3 colour screen!
i dont know whats the reason for, but i flashed my custom rom as fast as i could and it works fine.
but even now i cant enter bootloader properly...for 10 times trying 2 times actually work!
in the WM Os its no problem, Vol-Down functionality is 100%
cant explain that to me,
i think u need some luck to get this issue solved
___EDIT___
now with my customrom i could easily enter the bootloader via software command
and therefore i downgraded HSPL to stock spl1.42.000.
after this i flashed 2.08.hspl again and NOW my bootloader is working as intended!
u see, once u can get into bootloader again, all your problems can be fixed.
