Bricked? Hermes stuck on OS Bootscreen - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi,
i flashed a rom 2 weeks ago, everything went well. yesterday i wanted to flash another os but before i could flash it, it seemed to get bricked. It stucks on the "HTC Splash" (not the WM6 Splash). I read a lot of threads and wiki threads but i don't unterstand anything! What i've to do to unbrick my phone? I tried to flash another rom but after 0% of flashing a error appears.... flashing with sd card doesn't work, too it changes to bootloader after the "Loading..." screen
i havent got hardspl or something...
please help!
UPDATE: i got the sd flashing to work... same thing but: now it stucks at the WM splash, not the t-mobile/htc one...

You need to find out what SPL you have (I'm guessing 2.03 but if you have 2.10 olipro then its got Hard SPl on it) and then do a search for "bricked SPL x.xx". You will probably find a HEAP of posts. However, some advice that seems to recover a small minority (sometimes with the "No GSM" error) -
1st thing to do is do a hard reset. Both softkeys and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press "R" on the slideout keyboard and the "Space".
Hopefully this will fix. If it doesn't, Put it in bootloader, connect to pc (make sure "Allow USB Connection" Active Sync settings have been unticked) and run the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. This is the rom the Hermes came with originally. This MAY fix it otherwise you're in for some major reading and hair pulling.
If you should fix this then PLEASE, for the love of god, Hard SPL your Hermes before going into the wide world of flashing.....
Good Luck...

thanks i'll try it. hard reset causes kinda... nothing^^
i hope i can fix it otherwise i'll buy a touch pro

...but i think it doesn't work, because i flashed a shipped rom via sd card yesterday and the problem is still there... isn't there any way to put hard spl on my device, yet?

Try re-installing the stock rom again using sd card (if thatys how you did it last time), it could've been a bad flash. I've had those a couple of times myself. Just remember to install Hard SPL if you're successful as it makes it SOOOO much easier to recover from bad flashes.
Last thing to check would be if you have "bad blocks" using MTTY. If the boot sector has been stuffed up this may cause this problem. Do a search through the wiki, its been covered extensively...
Cheers...

okay i think my problem is solved: t-mobile replaced my device
first thing i'll do with my new device: HardSPL^^
anyhow thanks!

Upgrade successful but now stuck
I have a Three (au) Dopod 838 pro, which I upgraded from the original Windows Mobile 5 to the Three Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM. Unfortunately I didn't read up on this site first, I thought it would be straightforward since it was a ROM from the manufacturer and all, so I haven't Hard SSPL.
The upgrade reported as successful and my PC disconnected but the phone won't boot, it sticks at the Dopod screen with some numbers at the bottom. They are:
M 05 R 1.47.30.10
S 04 G 32.80.7020.20H
B 07 D 3.54
I have tried hard resetting, and returning the phone to bootloader and reflashing the same new ROM image, always with the same result.
On the bootloader, it says
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
Is there anything which can be done or is it a trip to the service centre (wherever that is)?

Just checking - Hard reset = both soft keys above the dialler closest to the lcd and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press r on slideout keyboard then space.
This is a hard reset, not just using the stylus.
Otherwise, you have a LOT of reading material to go through with (maybe) no actual solution.
Cheers...

tried that
Thanks, but yes, I had tried that, a number of times. I think the phone will be going to a service centre today.

stuck in boot loader updating to 1.43 on black shadow

I was trying to upgrade to radio v1.43 in the hope that battery life was improved over 1.41 however when it got to 8% it stopped and gave me an error i can't remember After atempting to recover, it got off the three colour screen now the 3100 stalls on the blackshadow version4 screen (bootloader screen?) and goes no further. I tried reflashing but got a 260 and using mtty, only getting 2 com port options, didn't offer any help.
I'm really sorry to have not been able to sort this with reading through the relevant post but I haven't found a solution. What else can I try?
Hi,
Could you pls advise what is your device made, model, SPL version ... etc.
Also did you try to do Hard reset?
I'm using now black MAJIK (and few days ago black shadow) with radio 1.43 with no problem.
its the SPV m3100 When I decided to go Black shadow I read up on mr vanx and made sure I had all the things I needed. If I remember right, when I came to upgrade to Majik the auto detect found the second option down
SPL-1.04/1.10 - 1.09 Bootloader. I've realized since I had a spaz and ran the RUU from the archive this time. From what I've since read thats not too cleaver.
I have tried a hard reset and took the battery out instead of pressing space.
I dont know if this information on the starter screen is of use
M 05
S 04
B 05 D 3lak
I'm not sure, but hard reset doesnt mean you take the batery out.
Please check that link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset
I was in your position (hanged on booting) few days ago, and when i did hard reset, it changes every thing to basic normal condition.
i meant when i did a hard reset when it asked me to press space to reboot I took the battery out. I tried again this time pressing space to reboot but I still get stuck on the loading screen. I can't connect by USB to the PC I'm guessing the drivers on the phone haven't loaded and I'm stuck as to what to do.
Does anyone have any ideas?
try look at it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
ok I've tried everything I can think of to connect the 3100 to the computer so I can reflash it but mtty gives only com 1 and com2 but no USB and neither those two work, active sync wont connect so I disabled it as suggested and running the radio ruu and wrapper wont querry the device. I am now at a loss as to what to do next someone must know what I should do. Please?
what is your SPL?

I suggest you check again, press and hold the side OK button and the power button...then put the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the unit.
yeah I've done that it's "SPL-1.09"
I had this exact problem yesterday, with the same bootloader too. The phone would not pass the splash and IT refused to upgrade. I ended up downgrading to a shipped wm5 rom (in my case the cingular 1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00) which to my surprise actually worked as no rom radio or spl upgrade moved at al on my phone. Then upgraded back to black majik. I hope this helps.
Thanks. I downloaded the trial of wm5 from the windows website and it asked me to install .NET framework version 1 so I got that but it turns out to be 2.0 not 1.1 It would say it had repaired but it would say this with or without the phone connected.

Just download a WM5 ROM from the wiki page!
ok tried this too no luck.
Trying to use the one from orange (linked to through wikki) I get an 294 invalid vendor error however active sync cannot connect yet of course so is this to be expected?
I have however gotten a connection with mtty which is a step forward dunno what to do with it yet though except trying the password 0000000000000000 command but it not disabling the password. This then lead me to read for a further hour how to change it and I've got to be honest; it beat me. I have No idea what the hell its talking about. My head hurt with so much reading.
I get a no gsm pop up v briefly on loader. I so want my phone back
I have since tried CID unlocker just so i get something installed onto this brick but I either get a connection error or it telling me it can't install for some other reason. I can not set the password in mtty to 0000000000000000 so how do I do that and is this the first step to getting things sorted? "just running a rom install" is not happening I can get a USB connection in mtty and that is it. Is the fact i'm running SPL 1.09 a problem? I'm getting precious little help guys If i'm posting in the wrong place or something please let me know. I need thing thing back now. Hours are drifting by with me trying to get some head knowledge but I still need some guidance please

can u flashing HARD V7?,i think better u have IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10olipro first ,then try to flashing radio?
and did u try SD card.
In bootloader can anyone here connect with active sync? I can't so updating rom and radio flashes in the usual way isn't possible. Trying the hard spl again it tells me to make sure active sync is connected and as it isn't it throws back a 262 update error. 0% on the hermes and that's currently as far as I can get. I have no means with which to access the memory card.
The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because your CID doesnt match....download a ROM which is for your device (an orange one?)...then try.
You need to read the wiki alot more before trying anything else since you are not aware of the vendor ID error...nor the fact you MUST use HardSPL.
I linked to the orange ROM from wikki and tried installing it. it was while installing THIS ROM SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe I got invalid vendor error.
Installing a recent DL on HARD spl v7 I get a 240 open file error that's one I haven't had before.
With all other attempts they all say they want an active sync connection.
I can not connect to the phone through active sync
so all attempts by me to flash anything to the phone using an RUU fails.

UnBrick the Bricked Hermes with "SPL 2.03 - IPL 1.04 - NO GSM - KITL Disabled"
There are many people have this kind of brick but still no solution for it.
I want to ask the mods to make this thread sticky so if anyone find a sulotion for this type of brick would post it Here.
Summary :
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.03
CID: NO CID (Request timeout on mtty.exe)
NO GSM
KITL Disabled
I have tested all the possible sulotions available in the wiki but none of the could help me unbrick my hermes.
P.S. : Please just post your sulotions here NOT your comments like "you should superCID your device first", "It's your fault to use telstra wm6",....
Has anyone found a sulotion for this???
You Pm-ed me asking what to do and i pointed you in the correct direction so why have you started this thread?!
Hermes Unbricking Thread
and
Wiki page: How to unbrick your bricked hermes
EVERYTHING you need is there, you just have to read.
Maybe You do not read my Pm!
I have read all the wiki and thread concerning my problem several times!
The simple truth is that some phones are unrecoverable and have to be sent off for repair. Yours is one of these situations and I very much doubt that this will change. More and more of the pioneering technical guys will have updated their Hermes to another phone and the much admired POF has not been seen since he was accused of stealing...
The tacit feeling is that there is enough information and utilities to prevent people bricking their phones (i.e HardSPL and Update from MicroSD card) so if you do find yourself in this unfortunate position and can not recover your phone then you have to bite the bullet, and be better informed the next time.
POF accused of stealing !!!!????
What's that all about?
I dunno if I have a the same problem, but a similar issue, and trust me I am "PC guys, AMD fanboy, A+ tech:"whatever you wanna call i, I am expanding my horizons and I got into the mobile PC world. Trust me I am NOT Google lazy, i have read and read and read and researched and cross-checked and tried literally everything. I am stuck, I know what is wrong with my Hermes, I know where it messes up, and I DO see threads in other sites with 99.9% the same problem I have and I see NO soultion or anyone who knows or Really wants to help, I feel for Koorosh we need help, I have come to terms if have to send it away to repair. That bugs me I got it Literally 3 days ago, and ONLY used the OFFICAL AT&T WM6 Rom to upgrade
on my bootloader all I see is this........
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.03
I have too see in my display
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.03
when i can flash radio 1% and restart device!
try it
i also had the same problem.i have resolved using rom update through memory card.look for it in wike section.all the best.try it with original rom that came with the phone.
this will not work in this site again no solution for bricked spl2.03 cid locked

Do you know to read micro sd flash not work when device is not superCID!!!
I maybe have the same issue.
From the HTC ROM I flashed my device to Shannix Grass rom, a few days later I flashed to Satin Black rom, so far so good. After that I want to flash back to Shannix Grass and my deviced crashed. While booting he stuck at the HTC screen.
I tried to hard reset, flash another rom (stuck and reset at 1%), flash the bootloader (stuck and reset at 7%). After the failed ROM flashing I get error 270 image is corrupted.
In mtty I tried to format the NAND, and tried the erase command, nothing worked.
How can I diagnose the problem further. Is it possible to see why the ROM update failed or why the OS won't boot? I did some monitoring with USB monitor but I didn't get results where I get some conclusions of.

(My device is Herm200)
wow , i have the problem too. i almost live in phoneless .
.
SOLVED !!!!!!!! my phone now works
If your device became inoperable like mine, because i had a failed ROM upgrade,and the device failed to power up i have good news for ya.
MY DEVICE info is as below.
Problem:
Phone does not boot up, and looks like a red brick.
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.03
(it always gave an error 206 at 1% of any ROM update i tried)
Solution:
I downloaded the official WM6 ROM from the HTC's website below,
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
Then reset my device to the bootloader screen.
(holding the 'ok' button and the 'power' button and then using my stylus to push the 'reset' button close to the USB port.
i then disconnect the USB cable from my phone, and the display showed 'serial'.
i then ran the downloaded file, and waited till the collecting information from phone window came up, then i connected the usb cable back to the phone.
it connected, and VOALLA!!!... it started the update.
at least its better to have a working phone(without all the custom stuff), than none.
I hope this was not booring( with all the detail and all), but i hope it will help anyone out there who's device wont bootup.
wow , congraution!
i will take the method. but i wonder should i have to get the "connecting time" in the right point, or the computer can't find my phone??
( hope u know what i mean?)
Um.... i cant say for sure

My Hermes "red hot brick" happened when i tried upgrading to aCRCs_PHKv12r8, from a Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full ROM.
My device is a Cingulat 8525.
The upgrade went to the tricolor screen, and after 1% , my phone magically went off. I tried powering on, but it went to the tricolor screen again showing
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
and underneath showed "serial".
me too i'm having the same problem....any experts out there that could help us?

Unbricking hermes

hi guys
I have a bricked hermes
DOPOD 8525 -> WM 6.1 Professional
From bootloader screen
HERM100 IPL-1.01
bootloader SPL-1,40.01ipro
Tried to flash ROM using safe SSPL with RUUwrapper.
At completion of flash both my mobiler & win mobile device centre disconected or lost connection with device, after soft reset will only load up to second HTC screen. How can I recover from this brick? device manager recognises HTC usb sync when plugged in but I can't connect to re flash rom.
Reading helps my friend
Get to bootloader, press ok and power on left and right respectively and stick stylus in all at same time.
that should bring up tricolour screen.
Download your imate jasjam official ROM
EDIT i think you got a dopod so the dopod ROM is what you want from my 4shared or wiki!!
from the wiki or from my 4shared, and flash it while it is in boot loader mode.
then you need to flash hard spl one of the first stickys on this thread that you have just posted to.
Then flash your desired rom.
Thank you Zocster
Got it unbricked & working, thanks to you I have a lot of trouble reading as I am leagally blind but get by with T2V & magnifiers most times. however searching threads is a lot harder than for most.
thanks
Lou
PS if you ever cross the tasman drop me a line
loulian, to make it easier to recover from bricks, It would be best if you flashed Hard SPL V7 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It won't guarantee a flawless flash but will help if something goes wrong by giving you a GOOD chance of recovery.
You can then use the sd card method and make life easier by not having to worry about pc crashes, cables being pulled, blackouts or those annoying "sync" errros.
Cheers...
Also if you have trouble setting up your Hermes after a flash/hard reset because of the alignment points being hard to see, It would be a good idea to download this -
http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=44
It will, after you save the settings, allow you to use your PC to set up the Alignment point if you need to Hard Reset or flash your phone making it load the os to the today screen.

Upgrading my Jasjam HREM100 Failed with Error [262]

Dear Members,
I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"
Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).
On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]
I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.
After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.
Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.
Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.
Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.
I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.
Thanks for your time.

If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.
Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.
3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Again problem!
Dear ultramag69,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.
And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.
After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.
First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.
However, I got the erro 286
I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|
I don't know what to do with this dead device now !
Thank you very very much for your time and help
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.
I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.
Cheers...
Hello ultramag69,
Thanks alot for your reply.
Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.
I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.
But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).
I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.
I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.
This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.
Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.
And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.

If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.
I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.
DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.
The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.
Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.
Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.
Cheers...
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.
Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.
I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.
After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).
And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.
Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?
I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.
I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?
I am very excited in getting it working again.
Thanks alot.
Cheers...
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.
Cheers...
I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.
Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
Hi All,
Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.
Thanks for your reply.
I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.
I am using the SD flush method.
Any suggestions ?
THank s alot for your help!
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...
If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.
Cheers...
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.
You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.
I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...
Cheers...
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.
Prost :-D
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.

Can someone find a time to help me?
hallooo
experts please!
Hello haveri,
what ROM are you trying to start? I was stuck on HTC logo too, when I tried to start a ROM without installing Striped ROM first, which was highly needed. So I done hard reset(three color screen), and flashed again.
For starters, put in bootloader, connect to PC (1st untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync) and run Hard SPL V7. Install it on your Herms and hope it works because otherwise you are in for a whole heap of hairpulling frustration...
If you get Hard SPL onto your Hermes then use the sd card method to flash a new rom...
You could have avoided this by doing a little research instead of going full pelt into flashing, you Hard SPL BEFORE you get into trouble, NOT AFTER....
Hi guys,
I have a similar problem with a T-Mobile branded TyTn from a friend of mine who thought flashing ROMs without putting device into HardSPL would be clever.
The devices has also IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.03 and from the bootscreen it looks like WM5 should have been installed. I also get the "NO GSM" message and I REALLY tried every fking method but without success.
I even created a Goldcard (and verified on another device it's working, level 0 instead FF) and tried to flash several ROMs (also Cingular WM5 ROM and original german T-Mobile ROM) but no luck.
I also tried to run HardSPL V7 but as far as I remember it just said it cannot connect.
Funny thing: HardSPL V9 DOES start flashing and on the PDA and the PC the bar shows 100% but some moments later it says "Could not update" (or something like that).
I even tried different mtty methods from several posts from the forum (erasing the NAND on different ways, qtek loader method with erasing the first blocks) but I'm really really frustrated now and I believe there is no solution here?! (device has no guarentee)
So, if someone has ANY hint or useful information write it down or send me a PM.
I gladly appreciate your help and hope for a solution!
Cheers
P.S.: I couldn't find any information saying Goldcard method works (or even exists) for Hermes. Can someone confirm it does really work?
