what's my bootloader version - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

I've been doing a lot of wiki reading before trying to upgrade to a custom ROM. When I enter bootloader mode I see this on the tri-colored screen:
Herm100
IPL-1.04
Herm100
SPL-2.03
(at the bottom)
Serial
...I thought it should say SPL 1.04
Do I have 1.04???

The number after SPL- is the bootloader version, so you have 2.03

If you seriously want to flash roms safely, You need spl 2.10 olipro. Go to Here to find it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
When I say safely, I mean as safe as you can get. There are NO GUARANTEES flashing roms...EVER...

Which one do i need
You said, "If you seriously want to flash roms safely, You need spl 2.10 olipro. Go to Here to find it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
...I don't see 2.10 olipro...
I'm seeing 2.10 Hard, or 1.10 olipro
I really don't know what i'm doing, so can you tell me which of these I need for my AT&T 8525, English phone? I'm basically just wanting to try some other ROM because the factory one seems so slow. I'd ask for recommendations but I guess it depands on what you're doing with your phone. I just use it to view office docs, and I use Pocket Informant. But it seems very slow compared to my former pocket pc. And it very slow compared to the iphone that I've seen in operation by my friend.

You need Hard SPL V7. Its at the bottom of the 1st post.
This makes it easier (or possible) to recover your device if a flash goes bad. It also allows you to flash using the sd card method which I, personally, believe is safer than using the pc.
After Installing Hard SPL ( you can use sd card to install this. Apps needed and instructions are on page 116, post 1160) do this -
1). format sd card fat32 and copy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it. Rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2). Put Hermes into bootloader (tri-colour screen) - hold Power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus until bootloader comes up.
3). If you formated the sd car fat32 and renamed the flash file properly the Hermes will recognise it and say to hit power button to start flash - hit power button. Wait until it says flash complete then reset with stylus
Just make sure you have plenty of 50 % (or more) battery power.
Cheers...

Error 260

Just got Hermes vodafone with German language and successfully loaded hardspl and have it in supercid. Now i want to upgrade to english version, but i keep getting error 260. PDA stays in RGB mode and saying USB. If i disconnect the cable it switches to Serial.
I have tried to update with
vodafone 1.20.161.6 aku 2.3
vodafone 2.07.161.1 aku 3.3
htc 1.35.255.102 aku 2.3
they all report the same. Have tried rebooting computer as said in wiki, but no success.
i now use original
HERM200
ROM 1.20.126.3
RADIO 1.16.00.0
any idea?
Thanks
Are you sure it is a supercid? Write the SPL, can you boot os?
Yes, i can boot os fine.
SPL-1.40.Olipro
IPL-1.01
I did supercid procedure with success....at least i thoughts so. It's my fist upgrade, so anything is possible. I used HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a
Thanks
I have the same problem with my second-hand JASJAM. The only way I can flash ROMs on my phone is by using RUUWrapper and select force SSPL and this always works well.
COME ON people!!!
A simple search would have remedied this...its been a topic so many times now!
The reason the official RUUs wont work correctly is because of the fact that HardSPL has been loaded, hence the SPL version isnt recognised, you gotta flash the official .nbh file using CustomRUU.
But first update to the latest version of HardSPL (see the sticky thread).
When you run the customRUU program select your SPL version (or use autodetect) and off you go!.
EDIT:: to get you started, Hardspl is HERE.....flash it.
then open the RUU with winzip or winrar and copy over the .nbh file into a folder.
download CUSTOMRUU.....run it from that folder with your device synced over activesync....select your SPL and voila.
Silly fella's. Its alright though I used to make the same mistake. I think im better friends with the search feature on here than I am with my real friends. You can always rely on the the WIKI or the search.
Thanks for help mrvanx i manage to flash with no problems now.
Promise to read more wiki next time
My problem was the same described in this post (too recent SPL).
I similar problem only difference is now phone wont go out of boot mode as its not recognised by active syn or in the rom update procedure.
Please help urgently cannot restore phone...and i dont know how
If you have Hard SPl V7 installed, try to re-install the rom, or a different one using the sd card method.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into Hermies and reset into bootloader, hold power, OK button under flywheel and reset with stylus hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour (bootloader) screen.
3. Follow onscreen instructions...
Cheers...

Dead Imate, with NO IPL and SPL

Hi,
Please help me, as its very urgent. I have been upgrading to various ROM's every now and then. Recently I did a blunder, as While upgrading with One of the ROM (Black Majik) i selected SPL 2.10 instead of Force SSPL and while upgrading USB Connection get lost.
Now I am only getting the Splash Screen showing HTC, when i Hard Reset my phone I do not get IPL and SPL version displayed and it takes my to the Splash Screen again.
Please help me in finding a way i can recover my phone.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Try a hard reset...
If that doesn't work and you have Hard SPL on your phone upgrade using the sd card method.
As for your IPL and SPL, what do you see when you go to bootloader? That shows your IPL & SPL. To get to bootloader press power, OK button next to flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all three buttons until you get to tri-colour screen. That will tell you what IPL & Spl you have.
Cheers...
Thanx for help. I could get my IPL and SPL info. But still i am not been able to get any rom installed on my device as it get stuck on that tri-color screen and rom up gradation wizards comes with different rom looks for activesync connection with the device. I am not been able to boot my device so that i can upgrade it to specific rom. Is there any way i can install a ROM without having active sync connection with the device...
Pl.. Pl.. Pl.. help. I would be greatfull to you
IF you have flashed Hard SPL on your phone you have a good Chance...
If you haven't and its under warranty you might be able to get them to fix for you.
Assuming you have Hard SPLed your phone, try the sd card method - format up to 2gb sd card fat32. copy the .nbh file from the rom upgrade to the sd card.Rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh". Reset phone. As you keep going into bootloader you wont have to manually do that. It should recognize the os flash and prompt you to hit the power button to proceed...
PLEASE NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOUR SPL IS 2.10 OLIPRO...
Hope you upgraded your SPL cos you will only have a paper weight otherwise..
Best of luck. Cheers...

Upgrading...

Hello,
I would like to upgrate Rom with this one: Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe
I installed Hard-SPL and now I have 2.10.olipro SPL version displayed in the bootloader (before I had 1.4).
Actually, in my Hermes300 I have installed :
WM6.0
ROM: 2.54.258.2
ROM date: 07/06/07 (DD/MM/YY)
RADIO: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
ExtROM: 3.54.258.102
I don't know if it is the original ROM upgrade from HTC website, because I'm not the firt owner of the phone.
Anyway, If I try to upgrade it by using autodetect mode an error occurs:"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL".
Why? What Do I have to do to have Upgrade? Maybe, is there still some kinda of "brand"? Which option should I have to select?
I want to use the most safe upgrading procedure to avoid brick.
P.s. I'm using Windows Xp.
Thanks!!
Pick safe SSPL..... Follow the instructions after OR use the sd card method.
Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh". Put it in phone and reset to bootloader. Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Find this safer than pc flash.
Cheers......
Thank you very much I will do it!
But I'd like to understand why autodetect mode doesn't work! Do u hava any ideas? Cannot I choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL choices? I'm a newbie in upgrading and I only understand that to avoi brick I should use HARD-SPL. If I use Force safe SSPL or SD card method can I have a brick?
How about if autodetect doesn't work because I have installed original ROM upgrade from HTC? It is possible?
Thanks.
No flashing method is a guarantee of success. Hard SPL isn't either, it just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone. If you interrupt a flash you will brick your phone but with Hard SPL its possible to fix. Except if you interrupt the radio rom portion of the flash. I think its OK to say that if you stuff up this part of the flash you won't be able to fix easily, if at all.
Most, if not all, cooked roms DON'T have a radio rom inside. ALL stock roms do.
This is why I said its safer with sd card method. You would have to physically reset the hermes in the middle of a flash to stuff it. With the pc, usb cables can be unplugged, reset buttons can be pushed and blackouts/brownouts do occur. Thats if Activesync doesn't throw a hissy fit and disconnect while trying to update....
>HARD-SPL just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone.
Ok, and by using SD CARD procedure is it the same?
I mean...now with HARD-SPL installed on hermes can I use every upgrading procedure to fix my phone (if possible)? Or to take advantage from that do I have to use a particular procedure?
Before writing here I read a post where another guy had my same problem and some people answered him to choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL. But u think is better by SD CARD.... .
Thanks, and I'm sorry for many questions!
Does Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe have a radio rom inside? I can upgrade only Rom without RADIO? If yes...how?
Thank you very much!
No, Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full doesn't have a radio rom. Look at the list of apps and tweaks included. It will tell you what radio version it has if it has the radio portion included...( this is for ANY cooked rom. The chefs work hard to make these and are rightly proud of their work.)
Here are the instructions for sd card flash again if you missed the first time
1). Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh".
2). Put it in phone and reset to bootloader - Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Its that easy when you have Hard SPL on your phone...
Cheera...
It worked very well. Thank u very much!
Sow if you don't have Hard Spl on your phone the SD flash method won't work? I have a spv m700 and coun't manage to install hard-spl.
Go to the last few pages of the Hard SPL thread - its a sticky - You'll find out how to install Hard SPL using the sd card method. Don't have to worry about sync errors with the PC then...
Cheers...
I have got Hard-SPL 2.60. Which one should I pick in the SPL Meny? I'm kinda noobish when it comes to this ...
I hope someone can help me , i ve tried a lot of roms, and i cant upgrade it, i also tried the sd flash , but it got stuck on the boot screen , could someone please help me, what should i do?

** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND HELP WHEN FLASHING **
1. What the benifits are of flashing a new rom?
Flashing a New Rom basically gets rid of all the garbage thats included on Stock Roms and Flashes a Clean, Optimized, Fully loaded Rom that will squeeze every ounce of speed and stability from your phone. Chefs usually include all the programs you are ever likely to need and because the Rom has been cleaned out you are left with more memory to play around with.
2. What are the different types of Unlock? (answer by DaveShaw)
The three stages of unlock are:
SIM: Allows you to use SIM's from another carrier. Can be done using codes or unlocker programs on xda-devs.
Security: Allows you to flash radios from another device (i.e. Raphael) - It does other stuff, but this is all the casual user will use it for
CID: CID unlocking is an old concept, nowadays you flash Hard SPL instead. This lets you flash any ROM, Splash or Radio (depending on sec unlock) to your device. N.B. the CID is the carrier ID (e.g. HTC__001). The stock SPL's only let you flash ROM's that match the CID in the ROM image with the CID on your device.
Also, SuperCID is an even older concept no longer valid on newer devices.
Wow, Great job Mskip!
Just wat i was looking for.
A couple questions though...
1. These instructions will also work on the Fuze, right?
2. Once the phone is done flashing and it is booting up, we are sopposed to HARD RESET when we get to the Stylus Config part?...I didnt know that...ive read some other tutorials, and this step isnt included? ?
Fuze, yes. Sprint, no. There's no Hard-SPL for CDMA phones yet I believe.
Thanks a lot! just what I was looking for (the bit about not needing CID unlock to flash roms.. just hardspl).
gj, mskip, but shouldn't you be clear that your instructions and links are only for GSM Raphaels???? As of the past few weeks the flood gates are now open among 5 North American carriers for the CDMA version of the Raphael. No sense in encouraging confusion and hassles from those less in the know.
There is a release for an unlocker for the CDMA phones, but after a quick search some may mistakenly find themselves to your links and info here.

Its the ENTER (center) Button. I have amended the instructions to make that part easier to understand.
might sound stupid, but I think you should say what RUU means and what it is...
first time I flashed hardSPL I couldnt find what this RUU means (while reading steps before flashing).
I started flashing without knowing what it was, when I opened the .exe its title was self-explaining, but its hard to know before starting... because the .exe name is not RUU or something like that
Sorry for bad english!

Bricked Fuze?
I was using OliPro Rapheal Unlocker and seemed to have bricked myself. (my fault, I understand the risk) I'm not a total newbee, but first time I ran into this. Any ideas how to get past a Upgrade ROM code error? Updated from 8525 to Fuze.

I dont recognize the SPL version in your signature is it from Oli's Sim/CID Unlocker?
Can you explain exactly what you have done to your phone and when you bricked it please. Also can you load your Rom up or does it get stuck.
Have you tried flashing the HardSPL from Step1?

If you flashed the hardspl, then you should be fine and should not have done any lasting damage. You didn't read the part of the instructions that tell you that you must first flash a 1.01 version of the att radio. You can get that here:
http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=v3q7csfizy
If you don't then you get the rom upgrade error. Just put your phone into bootloader (tri-color screen), and flash that radio. Also, as always, questions about specific roms, apps, etc should be posted in the thread they came from. That is where all the people most knowledgable about the subject are most likely to read it.
@Mskip, i think that SPL is for his 8525 not his fuze.

I did know and realize that, and your walkthrough doesn't give instructions for that either, but rather for flashing a ROM using the mSD method.
I was referring to flashing a new ROM from the MicroSD card and getting this error message in the HardSPL Bootloader screen. The ROM image has the proper name (RAPHIMG.nbh) but isn't seen by the OliNex bootloader.

I had that problem and few more with my Hermes.
While it didn't help me, this suggestion by ultramag69 may help you...
Use the sd card method to flash a new rom, instead of a USB cable/Windows computer.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Hope this helps!
Just one other thing summoner, make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. Otherwise the ONLY rom I'd try flashing like that is the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. Its so the CID will be recognised and won't cause a brick.
rmorera84, unless you've installed Hard SPL V7 then find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM and flash that, anything else may permanently brick your Hermes.
If you have Hard SPL V7 (IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 oli) then flash what you like...
Cheers...
- Installed latested Orange rom, that I know of - SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007
- installed Hard SPL 7 & applied SIM unlock/super CID
- re-installed TNT TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
The result is:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose I should upgrading the radio rom now!?
I am told don't try fixing what isn't broken - and it is working. 3G iNet, Phone, WiFi, BT - all good atm.
Or is there a particular update I should still install?
Thanks!
SUMM0NER, you're using an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL. The Hermes is downgraded to SPL 1.40 when you sim/CID unlock your phone. Best idea would be to re-install Hard SPL V7. Its a later version that seems less prone to problems when flashing.
Go back to the Hard SPL thread and get Hard SPL V7. I had the same thing happen to me when I unlocked the Hermes, nearly cost me my handset.
The steps are unlock Hermes, Install Hard SPL then upgrade OS.
Cheers...
Do I need to re-apply the OS rom file?
I just reinstalled Hard SPL7, now shows as IPL-104, SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Thanks!
My hermes only work whit this rom:Schaps_WM6Pro_ESN_3.54b-0808_Full
Because whit any other rom they stuck at 11%.
This is the info or the phone:
IPL-1.01
Spl-1.40.Olipro
Whit the first rom the htc boot but the phone funtion don´t work.
rmorera84, refer to my last post.
SUMM0NER, no. You have loaded the os, the reason you put Hard SPL V7 is if you want to upgrade the radio rom (not a good idea unless you are experiencing problems) or wish to change the os. Just means recovery is easier than if you didn't have it.
Cheers...
Many thanks ultramag69.
rmorera84 what branding is your Hermes (ie: Orange M3100, T-Mobile Vario 2, Vodeaphone V1605 etc...)?
Can I assume your Hermes is working right now?
If it is download and install HardSPL V.7 (attached to the bottom of the first post!)
Ones done verify that it installed correctly by holding the OK & Power button and pushing reset for a sec. The screen should display the coloured bars and say towards the centre: SPL-2.10.Olipro
It´s Cingular 8525, i could install the HardSPL V.7, now what rom i can flash??
You didn't confirm if it is working right now!?
If it is not working, try one of the official WM5 Cingular roms from this list. If that worked apply HardSPL 7 and take it from there.
Ones you downloaded the Cingular rom update you will have to keep unpacking the .exe files until you come to the actual .NBH file (WinRAR works for me).
Then follow ultramag69's instructions on flashing the rom via memory card.
Works, now i have this info:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I download the official Cingular WM5 rom, but. i don´t know how install this rom by memory card, could you help me??
Excellent!
Try downgrading to the Cingular rom via USB. Just double click the EXE and follow the instructions.
To use the memory card method follow these steps...
0. unpack the .exe file containing the rom with Winrar (right-click exe then choose "Extract to...\")
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
The reason to use the memory card to upgrade a rom, rather than a usb cable, is to cut down on failed upgrades (dodgy Windows/usb port/usb cable/etc..).
All working? Try upgrading to a Hermes rom that didn't work previously.
Any rom you can find in the Hermes section. Go to the WM06 part of the forum, theres a sticky at the top with about 50 older roms and you'll find other roms there too (latest is wm6.5).

i install the official WM5 AT-T version the WM6 AT-T, but, i still whit the no-gsm problem, can i flash i radio? or what i can do??
You may not be able to fix this, if you know what the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM was and can find it, then flash that. It may not work, if it gets stuck at 11% - 17% mark it means the radio ROM is stuffed and the memory area is corrupted. Not fixable.
You could also try, if you know what it is, the original radio rom by itself. Again, if you can't get it to work, you have a PDA but won't work as a phone ever again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Im to having the same problem, it keeps going back to the 2.1.Olipro boot loader.
I tried the memory card option and it starts to install but then stops.
Does anyone have and sugestions?
Cheers
