Hi,
I bought a HTC 8525 (Cingular) and I have several basic questions that I still can't solve in any other forum. First of all... is the HTC 8525 the same than the Hermes?? I don't see any Cingular forum...
How do I update from Windows Mobile 5.0 to the latest version? Is it free? What's the procedure?
I want to listen to many mp3 files in random order, but my Windows Media Player allows me to play just one at a time. How can I have a playlist, or, is there a better software that I can download to listen to music and videos?
How can I download Opera Mobile? Is it free?
Can I connect an external HDD (80 Gb Lacie hard disk) to the HTC? I would need a 2-way mini usb cable, but never seen one of those...
Lastly... does anyone have any experience with another OS such as Android, Symbian or another? I wonder if it should work better than Windows Mobile... just curious
Thanks in advance!!
1. read up in the upgrading section. You will want to 1st Hard SPL your Hermes (yes, the 8525 is a Hermes). After updating to Hard SPL go to the wm section. There are a heap of cooked OS's there with a list of included apps and a general description.
2. update your library in windows explorer or get another media player. S2P is a REALLY good player and its free. Use the search funtion to find it.
3. refer to last point.
4. No. Not possible.
5. Android (Linux) is in developement but you need to be able to troubleshoot and there are problems... Symbian isn't supported.
I would suggest before posting you do a search on the forum. All the information you wanted was in the WIKI. Asking 1st without searching is the fastest way to be flamed and/or ignored. Esprcially as ALL your questions have been answered Heaps of times. Remember, the wiki is your friend....
Welcome...
Thank you very much
Thanks. I apologize for not reading previous posts or the wiki first.
Just to clarify some things:
- First I have to "Hard SPL" (I researched the Web for the term "Hard SPL" and I'm not sure what it is... neither wikipedia has any article), and then install WM 6, right?
- I like what I saw about S2P. That's what I'm gonna use Now... the search function didn't come up with any results in my HTC. But I'll figure out how to install it.
I guess that's it. Thanks again, excuse me for my language, and regards from Chile!
Go here for Hard SPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Use Hard SPL V7. I'd also use the sd card method - find out in post #1160 on page 116, all app downloads there too.
Please note, Hard SPL ISN'T A GUARANTEE NOT TO BRICK YOU DEVICE BUT IS A SAFETY NET TO MAKE THINGS EASIER TO RECOVER IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
Type in "S2P cab". When you download the cab file copy it to the sd card and click on it. It would be best to have upgraded your OS though as you may get a "certificate not registered" error and it won't let you install. The new os's have everything you need. You can install the app to either your device or the sd card.
The WIKI we refer to isn't Wikipedia but the wiki on XDA-Developers.
Cheers...
Problems with my phone
Hi @ultramag69,
Yeah, I know you refer to the XDA-Developers wiki. I was just saying that there is not much information about all this in the web (in general).
I've had problems... I followed the steps suggested by you and the guys at that post #1160.
My phone gets to the 3 color screen and just sits there and never updates.
This is what I did:
1. downloaded Hard-SPL-V7.zip
2. extract it to my computer. Then I have RUUWrapper.exe and RUU_signed.nbh in my computer.
3. Renamed RUU_signed.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh
4. download sspl-herm
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to my phone, together with RUUWrapper.exe and HERMIMG.nbh
6. Run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. got the tri-color screen and... it never changed (as you can see here)
Now I can't do anything... not even turn it off. I'll appreciate your advices
Your SD card has to be 2gb or less and you need to format it fat32. Make sure you back it up 1st.
Cheers...
I would also suggest not to worry about trying to run SSPL.exe if you can reset into bootloader (hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until it goes to the tri-colour screen) and it says -
SPL : 1.09.ds
Just make sure the sd card has been formatted fat32, .nbh file has been renamed properly and the sd card is inserted. Then reset into bootloader. It should detect the flash.

ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.
-pvs
Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.
Good luck,
-pvs
Mr. pvs , I am doing the #2 holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]. I tried to download Hard-SPL 1[1].10, when I open it on my PC it will give me instructions then when I press upgrade I will see 4 color screen the Sync icon will disappear and then it will say that it lost connections.
it looks like i need to update
this what is say
From :
Image Version : TNT.19199
to
image version 2.05.255.1

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,
-pvs
No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

I've just finished successfully flashing an unofficial WM6.1 ROM to my StarTrek (Cingular 3125) using only a microSD card (no data cable, no ActiveSync, no Windows) and the brilliant work found on this forum. I thought I would share the details of my success in the hopes that it will help the next person who stops by, since I myself found it difficult to find a definitive yes/no on the matter here.
Requirements:
HTC StarTrek
I had the Cingular ROM; Any should work.
microSD card
IMPORTANT: Your card MUST be using FAT32 for this to work. If it is not already so, back up its data and do this now. (Windows will show a FAT16 volume simply as "FAT".)
AppUnlock tool
The one linked at this post is good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1146363
The ROM you wish to flash
I used the WM6.1 Standard ROM posted here by Erofich, since it is most appropriate for a Smartphone such as the StarTrek. You can also use the Professional version, though it is intended for use with a touch screen, so you will have to control a cursor with physical keys.
A computer you can use to extract and place these files onto the microSD card.
After you've obtained the listed files and have them extracted somewhere on your computer, copy the following files to your microSD:
SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab (Anywhere)
The entire SSPL directory from your extracted ROM download. (Anywhere)
RUU_signed.nbh, found within the RUU directory of your ROM download. (Rename this to STARIMG.NBH and place it in the top-most level of your microSD card, not inside a folder.)
Insert the microSD into the device (the door is located beneath the SIM card). Using the File Explorer (or Total Commander, if you have it), move or copy the three contents of the SSPL directory from your Storage Card to the top level (/) of your phone.
Find the SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab file on the Storage Card and run it. It should install like any other application, and you will notice a change to your Home Screen wallpaper.
Using File Explorer again, navigate to the top level (/) of your phone and run SPL.lnk (36 bytes, if this helps you distinguish which file to select). If all goes as expected, you will see a white screen, followed by a message telling you to press the top Volume button to proceed. Do this, and it will flash your new OS to the phone.
I hope I've offered a clear and helpful explanation of this process. Enjoy your now-renascent StarTrek!
Special thanks to Corian for helping me troubleshoot, to #xda-devs, and to all content authors involved here.
Funny, I was planning on re-flashing my 3125 via SD card, but I could not find where I left the instructions. I did it many times a few months ago while trying many ROMs, but I could not recall the exact procedure. Then I come to XDA-Devs to search for the info again and find your post sitting there right on top. Thanks, you saved me lots of time.
I'm currently using Erofich's (pArtizAn's) 6.1 standard ROM as well, but wanted to try out Erofich's PRO version for kicks, and maybe retry GnatGoSplat's clean ROM (I found I'm not using Mobile Office , which the Clean ROM leaves out.)
Ideally, I wish there was a way to install certain WM-Pro only applications on WM-Standard, so that I don't need to change to a touch screen centric OS just for a few applications.
BTW, anyone find and use the HTC Network Setup tool to configure the phone for use with U.S. AT&T service. I want to avoid having to manually set up the data settings.
Freakin awesome, works like a charm, now I can flash my phone with the broken charging/sync port. Many thanks...
Hello. I done all steps of this instruction, but can't flash because the message which invite you to press volume button does not appear...
You should repeat the instructions very carefully. Are you sure your SD card is FAT32-formatted, rather than just FAT (FAT16)?

Mind you, Schaps is a very old rom now, go to the wm06 part of this forum to find roms that are more current.
It may be old but it still works great.
It might be old but i like it. It doesn't hang and all my 3rd party apps work flawlessly even TOMTOM 7.
What ROM would you suggest?
At the moment I'm using REVROM Lite. I changed the flash screens though as I like some others better. I also use Tomtom 7 though I have it installed on my sd card and just send a shortcut to windows startmenu folder. Have no probs whatsoever.
Its really fast and seems to be stable with me NOT having to soft reset at all for the last 2 days... You gotta admit thats pretty decent performance, I've also had no HR's or freezes. Could just be I've finally found the rom and setup that is good for me...
Cheers...
Yeh, i hear ya. I actually flashed two other ROMS on my phone tonight just to see what they were like, but i'm going back to schaps. It was stable and it seemed to give good battery life. I have all my 3rd party apps installed to my 8GB SD card to save space on my phone. Seems to work for me. Thanks for your input. Two heads are better than one unless one of them is a goathead. LOL Anyway thanks again.
Have been having similar problems upgrading my HTC TyTN from its official WM5 to the Official release of WM6. Every ROmor upgrade or program I have used has failed once it has switced the phone into bootloader mode even using Hard-SPL. Ive being crazy trying to find a solution. Hasnt help that Ive had enough trouble getting started thanks to using Vista-64bit and its driver signing problems. I have since sorted that problem and am now not getting any further with flashing the ROM.
I wouldnt class my self as an expert but I also would consider myself a novice as I build PC's and have flashed both my Xbox 360 and my PSP so am used to working in the shady underworld.
Vista Home premium
Ok here's what i've found with vista. I run AVG anti virus and spybot search and destroy on my laptop. When i use my laptop to flash a rom to my phone i have to turn both off. Even then when i flashed to the OEM cingular rom i had to put my phone in bootloader for it to flash. If i let the program put it into bootloader it wouldn't work. Now, when i flashed to shcaps and my preferred radio rom it worked fine as long as advanced network funtionality WAS checked. Before i found these fixes though i used the SD flash method which is in my opinion the best way to go since it is so simple. That is the way i flashed my Axim X51V so i was familiar with that method, i just had to figure out the correct procedure for the phone.
This is from the post that explains SD flash.
1. download hardspl v7 from the first post.
2. extract ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh
3. copy it to a microsd card, make sure the card is formatted as fat32
4. download sspl-herm from here
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. you should see the tri-color screen and then it should change to this
8. press power button to start flashing
9. reset when you get the msg that its done
Good luck
OH and if you need the official Cingular WM6 ROM you can download it here.
If you have Hard SPL installed ignore the steps using SSPL.exe as that is Soft SPL. It's not as safe as Hard SPL.
Cheers...
PS. make sure you use a 2Gb or less sd card as the bootloader won't recognise sdhc cards, format FAT32 (most cards are default formatted FAT) & make sure of your spelling as it won't work otherwise - hermimg.nbh.
thank´s you all for help me upgrade HTC TYNT

choose the fat 32 file system.
now copy the hermimg fie to the root of the card
soft boot your phone
press the power button to comfirm the rom update and watch the progress bar

if you get a new soft ware installed do you want to reset pick no
the phone will reset when all the software is installed.
great stuff
try a few rom
find the one you like best

what is a "gold card"?
Man, i've read this in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard it's possible to get something like that for HTC S411?
its possible it will work.......cause i think this was originally done on the herald. But then you're still stuck at this step:
Code:
Download a shipped ROM (not a dumped or cooked ROM!) with the [B]same Device ID[/B] as yours
so you're still stuck, since u need a shipped rom for the s411

yes aldo, i think it will work!
please, could you help me? because this phone is very uncommon in my country, i need the gold card, i don't know who has this phone. please send me the file if you have this phone. thanks
my bad......got my IDs mixed up. So aldo, u are ok with that, u can use either the qtek rom or the dopod rom. all the steps and files you need are in that wiki. you dont need another s411 for this, you just need a working windows mobile phone to obtain the card ID. its really easy, i already created one myself, i just haven't had the time to test it yet.
read the instructions in the wiki article, and if you are having problems, then post in the thread that's linked in that wiki article. And once you are done, if you're successful, post here, so others that have bricked their phone know that they can use this method to unbrick it.
please, attacht the file for test... please
i don't have any WM device, please attacthment the file to test in my phone
dude, there is no file to post, its written directly to the sd card.
if i generated the file instead of directly writing it, this file will only work with my sd card, which is why you need to do this on your own. dont you realize this is why there are only instructions on how to generate the gold card, and no one posted any file. borrow a wm device from someone, it only takes like 3 clicks.
i still cant test if this works.......i need to hunt down a non-sdhc card, i knew i shouldnt have returned that 2gb card.
aldo, you need a gold card image which has own serial number

People follow the steps in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...e=Elf_GoldCard; first you have to this is in the WM device working if you don't get the gold card....
This is taken from Manual QMAT: page 38
This tool lets you create a goldcard for HTC devices. The goldcard is a special SD card that unlocks
Diagnostic Features for HTC devices.
Once your device is connected via Activesync / WMDC, you can press "Get SD Card Serial from
WINCE Device" to obtain the serial number of the inserted SDCard in your PDA/Smartphone.
Alternatively you can enter the 16-byte Serial number manually.
To make it work, please check the following :
- On the device, allow start of itsutils.dll
- On some devices you must set the right security permissions via Registry Editor :
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\"00001001" set to integer 1
After that, select the device under "device key" to generate a goldcard image.
Then you can choose either "Save Goldcard Image to File" to generate a SDCard Image,
or write the Goldcard directly to the SD Card inserted in your PDA/Smartphone via "Save Goldcard
Image to WINCE SD".
Do it!!! and post your results....
my congratulations
