I have a HTC Hermes and I have been having some problems with my phone. I read on some threads that people have been having similar problems and a possibly solution would be to change the ROM and/or the Radio.
SO NOW I have been trying to update the ROM yet it keeps coming up with errors.
Errors: [222]- Device not responding.
[260]- Update Error
I have tried MANY things. Vista, XP, putting PPC in boot loader mode before hand, not using boot loader, changing settings of Active Sync (disable connection through USB). Each of these things have been tried off and on multiple times, to ensure the problem was not just a one time thing.
Please let me know if there are any known solutions. I am hoping this will solve my random hard resets, frozen screens, and data loss.

Rom: Pays Lite
Radio: 1.16.00.00
Did you flash HardSPL on your device? If not, you may be stuck, depending on what the issue is. Regardless, if you're getting connection-related errors when trying to flash, you should try using another cable as that may be a contributing cause to your issue.
yes I believe I did. Actually when i go into bootloader it actually says Olipro (aka Hard SPL). And yes I have tried various cables, not just one.
Use sd card method.
1. Format sd card fat32 and copy .nbh file to it. Rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. insert sd card in phone and go to bootloader (hold power, ok key above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold in until the tri-colour screen appears).
3. As long as sd card is fat32 and herimg.nbh file is named properly, follow the prompts.
THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF HARD SPL V7 IS INSTALLED (I know you said you have it but this is a warning for others)...
Cheers...
I have heard about this step but to be honest I havn't heard of file formats nbh. I have a rom that I am using now (which I do NOT want to use anymore) that has a nbh file in the folder. BUT the ROM that I want to use (TNT and 1.19 Radio) do NOT have this file format, it does have .nbf though. Is there a difference and could you please give me some more help. Maybe some advice about where I could get nbh files for ROMs?
Thank you once again

An NBF file is not a Hermes ROM. The Hermes (and later devices) always use NBH files. (Well, not considering extracted .nb files)
EDIT: Under no circumstances should you try to flash non-Hermes ROMs! While the flashing would usually fail safely, do not take that risk. Always flash ROMs made for the Hermes.
Go to the wm06 forum on here, it has a heap of roms available to flash, most are now 6.1 but I have seen 6 now & then. Do a search for "Hermes 6.1 roms" and see what you come up with.
There are heaps of roms here so pick 1, don't ask whats best as each rom is a personal preference and what 1 person needs may not be for you so do some research.
You're lucky you haven't been flamed for NOT checking if the rom was for your device, though its early yet.....
Cheers...
It worked great thank you all. Now, I can test new ROMs and hopefully my phone will not continue to do the random hard resets and all. If it does I will continue to post on the thread.
Thanks again.
Just be aware that flashing the radio rom is the riskiest part of rom flashing. It has almost a 100% casualty rating of bricks if something goes wrong with the flash. For this reason most people recommend the sd card method as the safest (lets be honest, if you reset your Hermes in the middle of a flash or use a flat battery, you deserve a brick) as there are less chances of stuff-ups.
If the radio rom works well, LEAVE IT ALONE... Unless there is a MAJOR gain by upgrading its best to leave well enough alone.
Cheers...
So I did what you all told me to do. I used the SD to flash my ROM. I am now currently running TNT official Hermes. The phone WAS running fine but today it hard reset itself once again. I have decided that it is time to try to flash the Radio to see if this process will help it from the random hard resets that it has been going through. My question is: Are radio roms also built for specific phones or are they typically universal?
Also if anyone believes that the hard resets are not because of my radio and may be because of something else please say so.
Thanks again

Radio ROMs are most definitely NOT universal. They depend heavily on the hardware, which is different between different models. You should never, ever flash a non-Hermes radio ROM on your device. The one possible exception is the Trinity, which has similar radio hardware.
As for your hard resets, you should flash an official Hermes ROM first (find a version without a radio) and then flash a custom one. It's an issue with how Big-Storage is implemented in custom ROMs.
So I ended up trying out TNT (for HERMES) and didn't like it so I went back to Pays Lite (which does have the nbh file.) I also found custom radio roms and flashed a 1.56.70.11 radio for Hermes. And it seems like this might have worked but than again I have only used it for a little while. The phone did hard reset it self, but I believe that was because I was running to many things and it froze. I am going to continue using this and see how it ends up. IF by any chance I do run into the same problems what do you recommend I do. (remember I have tried multiple roms and now have tried a new radio also)
Thanks

1.56.70.11
As I said in my previous post, your hard reset issue should be solved if you first flash an official ROM (from HTC itself or a carrier) and then flash a custom one afterward.
As Trancecoder sai, I'd also check for bad blocks as this may be a symptom. Use MTTY to check and fix bad blocks but remember that there may be "branded" bad blocks done by the carrier.
Cheers...
Sorry for the late reply, I have been quite busy with other things. I would like to state that I went along with putting a stock ROM onto my Herm and left it on like that for about 1.5 weeks to make sure that it was working ok. I than uploaded Pays Lite once again (I love this ROM) and I have been using it for a few days now and it has been working fine. I recently added some mods like cabs and a new radio just yesterday and I will let you all know if anything else goes wrong. I thank you all for the great suggestions. I certainly learned a lot. Thanks
I'm going to try a different radio,current is 1.16.00.00.
I've unlocked with pofs V3a unlocker.
I've already flashed a few roms to find one I like.
Just worried about bricking it
When I go to flash a radio rom it states....
"Intended solely for 1.11 SPL.You MUST have 1.11 hard SPL installed to flash"
Pretty sure pofs unlocker installs 1.40 olipro?
Do I need to downgrade to SPL 1.11?
So many threads/posts to read my eyes are starting to bleed.
I've found the Hermes radio rom thread so loads to look at but which one
My first question is: Are you flashing by SD card or by USB?
Probably USB but do have sdcard.
I recently learned how to flash by SD. You must have hard spl to do this. It is much easier and sometimes even faster than doing it by usb, not to mention the most important part- it is safer. You may look in this thread to figure out how to do it.
SPL info Needed.
Thanks for your help Shortie but..........

I've not read anywhere that I MUST have 1.11 when flashing radio?
Pretty sure I have hard SPL 1.40.
I have downloaded SPL's V7 and V9 but not flashed them.
Is it ok to flash SPL V7 and then flash ANY radio
help me
I have a problem with my TyTN
I do not gsm network, this after an upgrade how can I fix this?
flash radio
read the forum and flash the radio
I read on the forum and I found how to do, but I can not.
as I do with mtty to have prompted usb>?
Try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294523
U must use Custom RUU Update tool and Radio ROM file.
It does not work I will lock the bootloader I do not know what to do are desperate
help me plese
help me no gsm tytn
The only other thing you can try is to flash the shipped stock rom. If you STILL get "No GSM" then you have a permanent brick on your hands. Make sure to flash Hard SPL then you can try an OS only rom and use as a PDA but you won't be able to use the phone functions anymore.
Cheers...
Is there NO way to repair/reflash a bad upgrade?
I'm stuck on 11% during flash.
I'm using HardSPL 2.7
Thanks
I can not prompt the usb be how can I do?
when I hit twice is always sending cmd
There is no way to repair the radio rom. There have been cases where people have reflashed the Shipped stock rom and its worked but most people don't have any love. To be honest, once the radio rom is gone, you have NOTHING to loose by trying anything to get it back.
Good luck...
there is a way to "unbrick" the tytn, the sollution is to install the original os provided by cell operator by using one of these methods http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem4 , if there is still a problem look at wiki.xda-developers.com
...
ps. i had the same problem and now the tytn is still working from 2 mount ago
ps. i use the vodafone_v1605 ... bla-bla-bla soft and it's seems to be good
As I said, there have been some successes, but these are in the minority. Most people don't have success. If you don't believe this lordextra, check out the other posts. Most of the time the information you gave is given. In fact if you re-read my post I mentioned this. You must have been one of the lucky few....

unfortunately when i go to download the stock ROM i downloaded from the HTC website it stays at 0% and then gives me an error message,tried numerous times but no luck, i was able to download HSPL3 though but that hasn't actually made any difference with regard to actually solving my problem,i done another search and tried numerous things but no luck, just have the multicoloured screen as before, have spent hours now, surely there has to be an easier solution to this as no doubt this has happened to a few people before!

flashed htc stock by sd card? if yes, then its because the stock HTC rom isnt your phones stock, and teh first thing it does when flashing from sd is remove hspl, even though the rom itself fails to flash (because hspl is no longer there)
Boot into bootloader, see what spl says.
If it ends .0000 then use hspl2 to re apply hspl,
re-enter bootloader, connect usb, does 'serial' change to 'USB'?
If yes, try running your rom flash again, but do it over usb. (Can use the htc stock rom for this, for simplicity)

Mate, try HSPL3. It will work with your SPL (2.08.0000).
It smells like you have a bad flash, maybe your ROM image corrupt in download or in the transfer process.. It does not change the things, to fix it you have to "erease your NAND".
I told you to flash a stock Rom from SD to see if the error stops. If it stops, then you will have to install HSPL again, because it is ereased each time you flash a stock ROM from SDCard.
Then, the TASK29 process is the more important thing, because it will "erease" your NAND and will prepare the NAND blocks for the new flash.
And the CustomROM flash complete the process.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: Fell free only to install HSPL3 (2nd post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and do a TASK29 (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) before installing again your CustomROM. Those 3 steps are the important ones!
**DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOMROM AGAIN, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A DOWNLOAD CORRUPTION PROBLEM, OK?

right there has been some developments, HSPL3 has done something an the phoe is now turning on and off, so ill try and download the stock ROM now
if spl says 2.08.0000 then you have chosen teh wrong option in hspl3, you should have chosen 2.08.hspl.
.0000 is stock.
You do not need spl 1.42. to apply hspl, that is old info, hspl2 or hspl3 should work fine.

Man, if your phone is turning on and off it could be the uncharged battery.
Try charging your battery for about 1 hour before trying to reflash - do it with the phone turned off.
Again: Use HSPL2 or 3. Select 2.08.HSPL from the menu. And then TASK29..............
Thanks again guys its getting late so ill just leave the phone charging and get back to it after work tomorrow evening, again thanks for your assistance, still not there yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening the problem will be rectified.

At last i have managed to solve the problem, basically i just extracted a stock ROM onto my micro SD card which was in my laptop,put SD card back in phone,went to bootloader, done the task 29, tried to flash Energy ROM 21911 Aug 1st update but having tried several times it was giving me an error message so last throw of the dice as it were i flashed the other Energy build 23569 and it worked, you;ve no idea how relieved i am i kept thining id have to leave the phone into repair which would cost an arm and a leg but thanks to the good people on here in particular digao100nocao and samsamuel and the search function was useful too i have solved the problem and ill ensure i always do a hard reset any time im flashing again as i believe that was what probably caused the ROM not to flash properly the first time (i never bothered doing a hard reset previously)
Virtual beers to everyone much obliged folks and if i can be of asisstance to anyone myself on here i will.

Good news my friend!
I'm happy that your problem is solved now.
Have a nice week
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL
I am stuck with the same thing.
If i could only geat a new HSPL for spl 3.03.0000

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

Use SSPL and it will install your Custom or Stock ROM without any problem.

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:

Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

looks like I am also stuck on bootloader with SPl 3.03,nothing I did helped so far,I had HSPL3,my stock Rom was 166.707.
any help is greatly appreciated.
OlDirty89 said:
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
Hello there,
I bought my HTC HD2 two weeks ago, and when I received it, it had a ROM of a 3.14 Version with a Radio of 2.15.50
(RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship). The previous buyer told me he had Android Running on SD Card.
When I started "playing" with the phone, I got a lot of Screen Freezes during any app (Internet, Mail, Facebook). Not only did the screen frooze, but also did the no longer start up properly. Either it didnt hang during the Logo, or when entering the PIN. Even during Hardware resets it frooze sometimes.
As the described ROM from above not the "real" supported ROM for THAT HD2 is, I flashed the original 1.72 Version with a Radio of 2.07.51 (RUU_Leo_TMO_DE_1.72.111.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship downloaded directly from HTC.com).
I thought, maybe its the ROMs problem. However, now I face the same problems and start to think the problems are hardware related. Am I correct there, or do you guys have any other thoughts?
Could be hardware related indeed.
Did you try to run your device without SD card?
Sometimes, older SIM cards can also cause trouble.
And finally, what SPL is on your device now? You can check this information in the bootloader screen.

I have a SPL-2.08.0000 (not HSPL). I run it without the SD Card aswell, but i got the same issues. Since I still have warranty on the phone, do u think I should make use of it and send it in? but then I want to make sure, that there are no traces on my phone that I installed some Android NAND versions...

mine is t-mobile, but a GERMAN t-mobile, I'm not having the US-version. but what did u do? did u get a fix?
now my phone is stuck again in the boot logo, which gives me the perfect opportunity to write down all the details:
R 2.07.51.22~2
G 15.32.50.07U
D 1.72.86525
anything wrong with that? I flashed the rom, which i downloaded directly from HTC.com (the only capable for my phone (TMOU GERMANY))

Well, you do have the older T-Mob ROM, combined with a newer SPL.
Try to flash SPL 1.66 with the program HSPL2.exe before sending it anywhere, then make a hard reset. Re-try again with the SD card out, in the worst case, there might be some buggy data in the application data folder (if there is one).

Thank you. with the SPL 1.66 Windows is running smooth again. But what caused all the crashes in the 3.14 version with SPL 2.08 or in Android NAND Versions with 2.08.HSPL ?? I think if I send my phone in for warranty, they tell me everything is fine with the phone....

The official 3.14 ROM shouldn´t run with any other SPL than 3.03.
NAND ROMs require MAGLDR, and this, on the other hand, requires HSPL 2.08. If there was still a different SPL on your device (which should be checked by the tool, as far as I remember, and therefore, I don´t know if that´s possible), you might have to source of problems.
The 2 major sources of problems are a) a wrong Radio ROM or b) a corrupt SD card, in some rarer cases an older SIM card.
If your system and device are running properly now, I think it might be indeed a waste of time to send it to a service center. If you like, it might be worth to give another try with a proper installation: Put HSPL 2.08 on your device, then Radio ROM 2.15.50.04, then MAGLDR 1.13, and then a nice Android NAND build.
No need to ever boot into Windows once you start all that flashing stuff.

I gave it a try, but for some reason I am unable to flash any rom anymore. I tried to flash it via SD card and via the .exe file through the bootloader. Through the .exe file the process only proceeded until 8 or 10% and aborted. Through the SD-Card it only showed the grew screen for a few seconds and returns to bootloader with "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"
Apperantly I did something wrong, but I dont know what. Ytd I was still able to flash the original stock windows 1.72 rom from sd card, but even that one is not working anymore.

I also tried installing only the radio rom, but that fails somehow as well. I flashed Radio Rom
Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
Leo_RADIO_2.14.50.02
Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
which i found in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
they flash to 100% but then I get a message on the phone "Software update failed. Please try again" and the computer says "This Update cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your update Utility.
anyone has any idea?
i dont know what to do anymore, the only flashing that works is hspl. i dont want to try magdlr, since the rom before hat a .51 radio, but i cant flash roms or radios....
i need some help, please.
If you tried everything, and only the official 1.72 ROM runs properly, the last remaining tip would be task 29. But I´m afraid, now that we can exclude almost everything, that the service center might be a good idea.
I would re-flash the latest ROM, which doesn´t perform well as you write, and send the device in to get it fixed.

what is task 29? I havent heard about it till yet? I will give it a try. Currently I'm trying all combinaitions to at least get 1.72 to get flashed again. This one isnt flashing either right now.
big news:
I have no idea why it worked but it did.
After flashing the entire night with different methods and ROMs and Radios, I almost gave up, and thought my phone is bricked. However, i didnt touch it at all until this afternoon.
First I run HSPL.2.08 again,
then I tried to flash the Stock ROM via SD didn't work.
then I tried to flash the Stock ROM via USB: here it used to stop at 10% and gave me an error.... this time it stopped at 10% for like 30sec and then continued!!!
So now I put SPL.1.66.0000 again to have it in original condition. Can I send it in under warranty like this? Every trace has been removed, correct?
I still don't know what is wrong with the phone. 48h ago, when nothing worked, the only flashing method which did work was via SD. Then I was at branded T-mobile Windows 6.5 on a 1.72 ROM. (Basically exactly where I am now) However, THEN I tried to flash to a higher ROM (3.14) to have a radio of .50 (to flash MAGDLR etc). but this never succedded and I ended up with one flash error after the other.
For a moment I thought my Radio is broken, since I could not flash any Radio. However all the radios i tried to flash were .50 radios. The radio of the current 1.72 ROM is however a .51 version. Does that mean I have some sort of "Radio-Lock" on my phone?
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know, but I think I dont wanna flash anything until I get the device back from HTC. However, once it get it back, how do I know that I can flash to the higher ROM again?? I am very cautious and distrustful to my phone right now.
