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....

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.
Whenever i get to the update part of the software my htc turns itself off and disconnects?
I then get the error 260?

I haven't ran into that one, but I went to the top of the page, clicked search, and typed in "error 260" (without the quotes). And got this http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...r+260&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
hopefully one of those will help you....google is your friend
I found out that its because I'm running vista. I tried to view Mr. Vanx's guide but its no longer there at this link..
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
So I am a bit stuck as I tried to do the following on here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
With no avail. It wont even let me install the HARD-SPL as it just gets stuck in bootloader mode with the error 260.
I have no idea what to do now. This process needs to be simplified more
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC

I don't have anything running vista.

thanks for your help though!

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.
I had to downgrade mine to ActiveSync 6.0 to get mine working again.
just an idea that might work
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.
Pda: Hermes 100
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
Pda: Hermes 100
Rom: Pays Lite
Radio: 1.16.00.00
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
Herm 100
Pays lite
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
let me start off by saying i'm not a noob, maybe a semi-noob
my phone is def hard SPL
i know for a fact that my phone has a radio problem
i can successfully flash roms, not official ones
if i try and flash a stock one, it will flash the rom and when it starts on the radio, it fails
i also tried a complete rom like laurentius, it flashes then it will fail during the radio update
custom roms that do not include a radio update will successfully flash
i've tried both methods, micro usb and active sync
no luck.... laurentius fails at 15%. official roms fail at 8% or just stall and i get error 290...
i did a lot of researching and 2 other people here have had the same problem.
one ended up selling his... and i don't think the other has found a solution
read something about gold card? no clue what that is
please help!
thanks in advance
First! Happy new Year ! and Secound kk "We have a same problem!".. sometimes when I leave without battery for some hours i can install the Asian version "stock ROM" and use the cellphone but 20 or 30 minutos after it stops working and when i reset my cellphone it stop on the HTC logo. I search for a month and nothing too! I'm waiting for help too my friend !

What HSPL, ROM and RADIO have you on your phone now?
Have you tried to flash a RADIO itself?
Flash a radio... noob...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
ok .. but what radio can i flash on the asian Leo HT1 ???
While asking for help please mention current Radio, ROM, OS versions on the phone. Would be easier to help.
Hi, im getting very annoyed with my phone, probably something to do with i don't know what the hell im doing. Basically my phone has lately started to go crazy and constantly reboots, only getting to the orange windows screen. and very rarely boots up. I have the o2 HD2. Ive tried hard reseting..and taking out cards and booting but nothing seems to help. So i spotted the new generic 3.14 rom on the official htc website and downloaded it and thought it would fix it all. But now it wont work, it gets to %100 on the ROM update utility and says '' ERROR 270:UPDATE ERROR - The image file is corrupted, Please check your update utility. Ive downloaded it twice now as it told me as it was corrupt, to download and try again, but its doing the same. Now my hd2 is stuck on the multi colored screen and will NOT boot. Someone please help me, and try to have patience with me as im un-familiar with all this . Someone taking the time to help me would be VERY appreciated. Thanks.
theres a real o2 3.14 rom HERE

or you need hspl
Hey Brandon911 after you manage to flash the ROM member samsamuel was kind enough to link for you. If you don't know how to flash the ROM simple put your HD2 in bootloader(tricolor screen) and run the RUU or exe wich ever one it has once you exsrtact/unzip the zipfile. Make sure it says USB in the white bar of bootloader though before you run the updat utility.Anyway once you flash the ROM check your pins that connect to the battery cause I am willing to bet you have been dueing a lot of battery pulls and might have inadvertantly bent one of your pins. I say this cause you said your HD2 was "constantly rebooting".
i cant flash that rom at all? i try to extract it to my pc and it says its currupt :s ive downloaded it twice now. should i use a different rom? a custom one? And thankyou macgnolia

I don't see no real reason you should not try a custom ROM. Just make sure and tbis is very important, if the custom ROM has a radio that comes with it, that the radio is compatible with your o2 HD2. I am also sure when samsamuel gets to read this thread again he will be abale to offer more help, probably better than I.
Edit: You will have to have HSPL flashed to your HD2 to flash a custom ROM.
im sticking with the generic 3.14 from the htc website. my phone is on SPL 3.03? and to run hspl u can only go up to 2. something so it wont run? sorry guys, your patience is much appreicated. i just need some step by steps on what i should do, in order, for a noob.
hspl4, supports 3.03. If you want to use magldr you will need to go to 2.08.hspl

Did you use HSPL 3 OR HSPL 4You should use HSPL 4.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..

Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
