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.

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

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

I am not sure your problem is due to the radio rom. And... yes you can upgrade your radio rom. I encourage you to search and read on the subject before doing it. If it is the first time you flash your hermes, you have to know that it is not difficult but requires some care. At least you have to know that upgrading the radio rom is a bit more sensitive than other parts of the rom (OS for example) You are the only responsible if it fails. The risk exists that you brick your phone.
That said, a lot of users are flashing their hermes more than once a day . Personnally i use the SDcard method which is very easy. I do not remember how many times i flashed my Tytn...
Start to look at guides here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462 (the method is the same for all radio roms)

1> Did you install the HARDSPL version 7?
2> If this is done, copy the "RUU_signed.nbh" file of the radio rom on a sd card just formated (fat32) and rename the file HERMIMG.nbh. It has to be the only file on the card if you want to be sure that it works.
3> Fully charge the TYTN.
4> Insert the card and start the SPL process (OK / POWER and soft reset). You will get the 3 colors screen directly followed by another one showing what you have to do to upgrade the radio rom
Be aware that the radio rom upgrade is slow. It gives the impression that it could stop. Just be patient.
And... once again, you are the only responsible if it bricks your phone

I am still a newbie. I just got my phone fixed by Softbank (they said the manufacture fixed it by changing its mainboard). I got same radio, 1.46.00.10. My old mainboard's radio was 1.41.00.01, and it stuck at the same radio whatever I did to upgrade it. I think it's because Softbank put something to prevent us from upgrading the radio. Well, I am not sure though. I'll explore this more. I hope I won't get any problem with this radio

Is the Wifi function working well, cause i always cannot connecting it to my router with this radio rom 1.46.00.10
I have some questions, and yes, I am slightly new to the HTC Hermes, so cut me alittle slack.
I have purchased a unlocked AT&T 8525(herm100), with a cooked rom for WM6.1. While it looks great, it seems to make the phone function slower, compared to the one I used with WM05 on it.
I would really like to make the device operate and respond much like WM05 did. Is this at all possible with WM6 or 6.1? Or would I be better off going back to WM05(if thats possible now)? If I should need to go back to WM05, is it possible to cook a rom, and remove and add things that I would want?
Throw me some Idea's here, I'm open to anything.
if you want fast just get a superstorage rom, those roms are faster than the original WM5 shipping rom
superstorage rom? Do explain please. Is it WM6.1? Where would I get it? is it hosted on the FTP? Also, could you point me in the direction for instructions on how to flash the device?
Do a search for hermes roms. There are a lot of good roms from faria, pays, schapps, tnt, PDAViet...... The list goes on..... They range from wm06 to wm6.1. I'm using Pdaviet 6.1 version 19213. It was just release but is REALLY quick. I suggest you read the threads to determine which is good for you as it is as personel a choice as what clothes you like...
As for how to upgrade, !st do some reading... It's recommended to flash Hard SPL onto your phone as it makes it easier to recover IF/WHEN something goes wrong. Check out this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Also, use the search function to find out "how to upgrade rom". There are some good tutorials by MrVanx and a lot of information on the wiki..
PLEAE READ A BIT BEFORE FLASHING... and make sure you only use a hermes rom.
Happy Flashing & welcome....
One more question. By flashing this, will it stay unlocked? and i keep seeing HTC TyTN(Herm627) for the roms for PDAviet. same with others, is this the one im wanting?

I just found out the firmware ID that is already on my phone.
ROM version: Faria.R-32
ROM date: 11/6/07
Radio version: 1.54.07.00
Protocol ver.: 32.86u.7020.23H
ExtROM ver.: BIGSTORAGE
This firmware just seems really slow. Im looking at trying one of these listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380433
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364031
Obviously this is a cooked rom. I don't know how it was flashed, and it may have HardSPL on it already. Will it harm anything if I install HardSPL 2.10 to my phone?
I've also read somewhere that the 1.47 radio firmware has better connectivity and battery life. Is this true, and would it increase my signal any? I get little to no signal in my house, but my wife's Razr gets 2-3 bars constantly, and we both have T-Mobile.
1st, go to bootloader(hold down power button, OK button above flywheel and then use stylus to soft reset. keep all three buttons pushed in until the tricolour screen comes up.) This will tell you IPL & SPL.
Pays is very good if a little older now and s64's rom is also good (but packed with 3rd party apps that SLOWWWEEED things down a bit to much for my liking).
Both good.
The rom you are using now is a bit newer. It should be fairly good too. I personally prefer PDAViets roms which are REALLY fast and pretty stable(ver 129400, 129701, 129900 and 129213.). Its really up to you though as your preferences may be at odds with mine.
As for the radio rom, This is the most "dangerous" part of the firmware flash with most bricks happening because of problems happening while being flashed. If you want to go ahead and flash this make sure its not gonna be a repeat performance. Find out what radio works best in your area & flash once. I would SERIOUSLY recommend the sd method to flash this. Read up on this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462

At the risk of blowing my own horn, try my ROMs out. You can chose between bleeding edge (the development thread) or tried and tested (the stable thread).
They both come with minimal applications to be like a usable phone, but giving you the flexibility to do whatever you want with the device afterwards.
nice. looks like its
Code:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I do have one more question. I downloaded PAYS rom. It came with an EXE(RUUWrapper.exe and RUU_signed.nbh), it looks exactly like the HardSPL, do I just run that and it flash it? Or do I still have to go through all the other steps on the Wiki page for flashing the Hermes?
After installing HardSPL, connect your device up with ActiveSync, then run RUU_Wrapper.exe.
Follow the prompts.
CRC's are good... Like them....
According to you information about the bootloader it seems you are already set to push any Hermes ROM in your device
Hi there everyone.
I have just bought a new HTC Cingular 8525 but it is running windows mobile 5. I would like to upgrade but I cannot find any downloads or instructions on how to do so. I do not want to brick up my new phone. Does anybody know a download link to upgrade to the latest windows mobile version that will work on my phone. Its an american bought phone which is unlocked and I am using it in the UK on Three. It used to be locked to at&t and I am pretty sure much of the at&t rubbish is slowing my memory and speed of the unit. If I were to upgrade will the phone still be unlocked?
Rom version is 2.15.502.3
Rom date is 04/09/07
Radio version is 1.40.30.00
Protocol version is 32.73.7020.16H
Operating system is (build 15706.3.5.2)
I am all new to this and would appreciate any advice idiot proof I have flashed many PSPs and other things but nothing like this.
As I have just got the phone I am still trying to work out how to use it so I have no idea how to do a Hard or Soft reset and have no idea about the roms
Sorry to waste your time
Please help
Rob
You should read through the Hermes wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Make sure you install hardspl! If you install the "official" AT&T WM6 install hardspl again, your phone will stay unlocked, even with custom roms. If you flash one of the big storage roms, then go to try another, flash the "official" rom before flashing another custom rom.
Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I would also suggest making sure your phone is "super cid" before flashing custom roms, you'll also be able to flash from an sd card if you are super cid.
Read a bunch before flashing any radio roms!!!
Read, read, and re-read before you flash, and you should be fine. They have made the process fairly straight forward, but you can never be too sure. I have never "bricked" my phone, and I jumped in with both feet!
Mustn't flash a lot then because if you did you will end up with a brick sometime... I've always been able to recover my Hermes but there is STILL the possibility it won't.... one day...

I guess I have been lucky, but I'm sure I haven't flashed as much as others on here. But, I tried to follow the wiki, and tried to learn from others mistakes before I made some of my own. So, I figure if I can flash my Hermes, others should be able to do the same. And I have read up on the issues for when you "brick it", just in case.
I flashed several roms from the beginning (when I got my hermes), and learned a bunch. Then found what I needed/wanted in a rom, and spent days and days and days reading through many threads to find ones that fit me. I actually tried not to flash too much, but that can be a hard temptation to overcome.
So, just trying to pass on what has worked for me, to avoid the hard resets and such.
I would like to attempt cooking my own rom, and have read through tons of info on it, and played with some kitchens. Still working on learning that stuff, it'll give you a good appreciation of what the chefs around here do.

It tells you how to Hard SPL your Hermes with the sd card method. It also gives you ALL the apps needed.
After you Hard SPL your phone you can use the sd card method to flash a new OS. Flashing a new OS though requires you to drop steps 5 & 6 (you don't need sspl.exe once you have Hard SPL). Just remember though that the bootloader won't recognize any sd card bigger than 2gb...
Cheers...
Thanks for that. Its just now I have a problem where my phone is stuck on the Tri-Colour screen
Did you format the sd card fat32 (they are default format FAT) and rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh"?
Is the sd card 2Gb or less?
You're on bootloader, is your SPL 1.09 des? If yes then insert the sd card and reset.
Cheers...
it might be an issue with activesync
i read somewhere before that activesync 6.1 won't sync with WM6 on vista machines.

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.

I'm stuck on 11% during flash.
I'm using HardSPL 2.7

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

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.
