Download activesync 4.5 (search for it)
Download this: http://cid-cddbf77985693632.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA%20files/ROMs/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
In activesync, disable connect through USB.
Run the RUU you downloaded above.
i have downloaded and installed active sync 4.5 as directed on a pc running windows xp and disabled connect through usb by right clicking it on the desktop in the taskbar and clicking connection settings then un-checking the usb connect box. then i connected my prophet and it installed it as a PocketPC USB Sync of something like that and it appears in my computer as a mobile device but when i click it it has nothing in it so i ran the RUU and it asked to update the ROM so i followed the steps but it asked me to make an active sync connection which i cant because the prophet wont turn on after the bootloader the pc recognised it when it was switched off. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!?!
Unplug the prophet.
Manually enter bootloader and reconnect the device.
then try reflashing the ROM.
Just continue with the RUU unless it gives an error.
i have just right clicked it under device manager and it is recognised as "Windows CE USB Devices" then expands to "PocketPC USB Sync" but how do i manually edit the bootloader if that it was i still have to do sorry im a newbie to this stuff as i said ive only had it one day
it is recognized in the device hardware section but it says there is a fault or something i dont know. there is nothing wrong with the prophet i am 100% sure its just recognised as that because its not turning on properly i think. how do i manually edit the bootloader and what would i need to edit sorry im a newbie at this stuff as you know ive only had it one day and all this because i wanted flo touch
Start up the device normally. Then, press and hold the Comm manager button whilst reseting (stylus into the hole to the left of the power socket). Now, plug the device into the computer and run the RUU.
Thank you so much!!! LIFE SAVER!! its updating now thank you so much il tell you how it goes when its complete TOP HELP!
Thank You Success My Friend!! Woooooooo!! Im A Happy 16 Yr Old :d
Done your GCSEs yet? I'm an unhappy 16 yr old... My Prophet rocks, but my coursework fails...
Do you know how i can put on the flo touch ? when i send across the cab file it installs but doesnt show anything i just clicked on about aswell on the device and it says its still windows mobile 5 ? is it really windows mobile 6 ? i just really want flo touch ?
and nope not yet my GCSE's are in 2 months.
That ROM is WM5. I would suggest updating to a WM6 ROM such as one of Cloudyfas ROMs. Search for it and read all the relavent threads.
To launch the cube, swipe your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen.
the touch edition or clean edition mate ?
Touch edition will have Touch Flo.
use Prophet Tools to make it faster...
where can i get this prophet tools you speak of ? and what will i have to do i have successfully installed wm6 touch edition now the one you recommended but what about the prophet tools ?
there is a link in my signature to prophet Tools it should all be explained there. also read the new upgrade guide sticky in the WM6 forum. Prophet tools is to help upgrade, so no need for that now...
The touch flo cube should activate in the way i said above.
ok so i have downloaded the little extra on the page of the ShadoW Touch ROM and its called ShadoW Cube and i have installed it yet nothing happens its not even in the device menus. do i need to upgrade it like you said with this tool and how ?
The cube only starts when you slide your finger fRom the bottom of the screen to the top...
hi guys
I have a bricked hermes
DOPOD 8525 -> WM 6.1 Professional
From bootloader screen
HERM100 IPL-1.01
bootloader SPL-1,40.01ipro
Tried to flash ROM using safe SSPL with RUUwrapper.
At completion of flash both my mobiler & win mobile device centre disconected or lost connection with device, after soft reset will only load up to second HTC screen. How can I recover from this brick? device manager recognises HTC usb sync when plugged in but I can't connect to re flash rom.
Reading helps my friend
Get to bootloader, press ok and power on left and right respectively and stick stylus in all at same time.
that should bring up tricolour screen.
Download your imate jasjam official ROM
EDIT i think you got a dopod so the dopod ROM is what you want from my 4shared or wiki!!
from the wiki or from my 4shared, and flash it while it is in boot loader mode.
then you need to flash hard spl one of the first stickys on this thread that you have just posted to.
Then flash your desired rom.
Thank you Zocster
Got it unbricked & working, thanks to you I have a lot of trouble reading as I am leagally blind but get by with T2V & magnifiers most times. however searching threads is a lot harder than for most.
thanks
Lou
PS if you ever cross the tasman drop me a line
loulian, to make it easier to recover from bricks, It would be best if you flashed Hard SPL V7 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It won't guarantee a flawless flash but will help if something goes wrong by giving you a GOOD chance of recovery.
You can then use the sd card method and make life easier by not having to worry about pc crashes, cables being pulled, blackouts or those annoying "sync" errros.
Cheers...
Also if you have trouble setting up your Hermes after a flash/hard reset because of the alignment points being hard to see, It would be a good idea to download this -
http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=44
It will, after you save the settings, allow you to use your PC to set up the Alignment point if you need to Hard Reset or flash your phone making it load the os to the today screen.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. I have the same problem, but when i try to flush it from a TriColor mode i get a communication error, it complains about activesynch not connected. BTY mine is cingular 8525 so i am trying to use one of the cingular roms.
Hi all
Rather than hijacking other threads I thought it might be of help to others if I start a new one.
Having spent hours trawling thru the other threads I have now concluded that I need the help of one of the wise sages such as Cmonex or Olipro.
I decided that a thread might benefit others rather than just pm'ing them.
Ages ago i bricked my ameo.
I had upgraded to spl 3.5 and had been playing with one of michy's roms. Whilst the rom worked fine the boot-up splash screen had become corrupted, I also noticed that the camera had stopped working/initialising.
In an attempt to get the camera back I tried various other roms and decided to downgrade to spl1.2 so that I could go back to a stock rom. In a moment of stupidity I accidentally tried to reflash using a spl3.5 rom.
This resulted in a invalid model id message.
In desperation I did the old vol key down and reset pin. Told the ameo to restore.
From that point onwards the unit is no longer recognised by my pc, in the tricolour boot screen it initialises and says loading 0058002 and then displays
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
I have tried the mtty option, using different computers and different leads, have even tried running the program from the root c: to no avail.
The problem is that whilst in boot loader screen on connection to the pc there is no usb option displayed, nor is there a usb option in the mtty drop-down list.
Pdajoy kindly suggested using a mini sd card to flash the unit. I purchased a micro sd with a mini adapter. Formatted the card to fat32, renamed the ndc file booted to the tri colour boot screen and hit reset. All that happens is that is tries to boot the old fecked o/s and gets as far as a blank grey screen and no further.
I really do miss my ameo- the screen on my touch pro is just too small!!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hope is a typo error here, should be
"rename the RUU_signed.nbh to ATHEIMG.nbh"
Did you removed your SIM card before applying?
Sorry my bad for not warning you in advance.
Grey screen, you mean no text at all. Total blank grey?
Am just curious.
hi Pdajoy
I had renamed the files ATHEIMG.nbh, the reference in my post above is a typo. There was no sim in the phone either.
The screen after it tries to load the old corrupt rom is just a grey mass- nothing else, no text or images.
The two pics listed show the ameo booting and then the grey screen.

hi imaginarynumber,
Thanks for the photo.
hey 4.00 on screen, I believe your set is still spl 3.5
If it is my set, I will definitely flash AP4 again.
Best wait a little while for kind sage to drop by with to assist you.
Don't wish to see you bricks yours.
I have the same problem what can we do ?
I found a way to bring back the normal bootloader you just have tu press the reset button then you press the camera button and you will have your bootloader again
IT IS NOT WORKING you get back to the original bootloader but when you want to put back a rom even the official one after 1 percent it gets back to the grey screen PLEASE HELP
Srry athena works again place the mmty tool with mac bin file in the root of c and try again dont forget the task 32 command before the bin command that worked for me
I had the same exact problem (even the screen was the same) and didn't realize that the initial screen that shows up isn't the bootloader. fixed it by waiting for the grey/white screen, holding the volume button down then reset button and camera button + reset which brought me to the actual bootloader. From there I installed the latest AP rom, updated my radio and installed mitchy's 6.1
Big problem: Mac Address? Still getting dark screen and blue stripes!
Hi, I have follow the various steps above, however I cannot boot my Athena after words.
I am lost! I have followed exactly the steps:
1. disable activesync and put mtty into the C:/ root
2. connected athena as usb and booth with 3 colors screen
3. run mtty
4. done the cmk
5. selected port usb and created the .bin file for my SPL (1.2)
6. in mtty run task 32 and went up to: "code entrypoint unknow"
When I boot again my Athena I get the same dark screen with blue stripes:-(
You need to flash a rom

It looks like you did the wifi fixx correctly but the rom is still corrupted
Go into bootloader to confirm your SPL and then flash an spl appropriate rom
cheers
So, how to proceed now?
Dear Iakeman, all,
how can I confirm now my SPL and than flash the ROM?
I confirm that on my 3 color band screen I have:
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
So, what is next??? If I just reset or restart the Athena in the normal way I will get back the dark screen with blue stripes and nothing will happen....
Do I have a this stage to install a new VM ROM? But I am wondering if I can do that since not sure that in this mode the Athena can communicate to my PC and so being able to upload on it any ROM....

You have confirmed that you have spl1.2 by quoting what you have seen in the tricolor screen.
Get back into that screen , making sure you have removed the sim and sd card and then conect to your computer via the usb cable.
You would have downloaded an spl1.2 rom ( you previously stuffed the radio by trying to flash an spl3.5 rom) and then run the romupdateutility .exe .
then you should be sweet!
having read a reply of cmonex to another post I am starting to think that all hope is lost.
It seems that if windows is unable to recognise the phone it is possibly the case that it is completely f*cked!!!
It would be nice if someone could clarify this...
Which WM to ul now?
Dear Iakeman,
thank you so much for your kind reply. So at this stage I can try to upload to my Athena device, basically, any spl 1.2 rom of WM 6.0, or 6.1 or even the 6.5 beta?). Or I must start with spl1.2 rom WM 6.0 ?
Yes! It works!
Hello, after so much pain, I have follow the Cmonex post 33 to fix my broken firmware and now I have been able to upload properly the VM 6.5.
Many thanks!

just a thought.
Once you finished doing mtty, did you reenable usb in activesync as per this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=mtty&page=2
the other thought was is the usb cable and the usb port able to sync with other wm devices? maybe the slot on your athena is faulty?
Hi Lakeman
Thanks for the reply.
It is possible that the usb port is faulty but it seems improbable that this should have failed at exactly the same time as me stuffing up the O/S.
I will try to find the cmonex post to which I am refering later today (the one that suggests that the phone is stuffed).
Tnx
when i type task 32 show this plz help
Cmd>task 32
Level = FF

I need some expert help please! I have a Hermes (Orange SPV M3100) that I want to flash with a custom ROM but I am having a problem with ActiveSync losing the USB connection at the point that the device enters the bootloader screen. I am also unable to flash using the SD card method. I have flashed a Nike without any problems and I'm usually good with technical stuff so I think there must be something extra I need to do that I have missed. I hope that somebody can spare the time to help me solve the problem. Here are the details:-
I am trying to follow Mr Vanxs guide to flashing the ROM in windows Vista so that I can upgrade it from WM5 to WM6 and apply a custom ROM to load a new TouchFlo style OS. The first step in this process is to flash HardSPL using this guide but my problem with the USB connection won't let me do that. I have unlocked the device using Hermes Unlocker 3a so it is (or should be) SIM and CID unlocked and be SuperCID with HardSPL-1.40 (so maybe I can miss the Mr Vanxs HardSPL step?).
So, when I run the RUUWrapper.exe, choosing the Force option and accepting the messages I eventually get a prompt on the device. At this stage ActiveSync is connected. I click Yes on the device and it enters the bootloader screen which shows 'USB' on the tri-color screen but ActiveSync immediately drops the USB connection. The update then waits for a while then fails with Error 260. I have to do a soft reset to get the device out of the bootloader screen. When the device reboots the Activesync connection comes back to life.
I thought that I maybe don't need to HardSPL first so I tried just going straight to the ROM upgrade but I get the same problem.
Also, I tried following this link to flash using the SD card instead of USB but when I get to step 6 I don't see a confirm message - just the usual bootloader screen (it doesn't help that the screen shot doesn't appear on the link so I'm not even sure if I'm getting the correct screen). Any ideas?
I realise that an answer to this probably already exists somewhere on the forum but I have spent hours trawling through posts and I can't find it so I hope somebody has come across this before and can help me out.
Thanks guys!
Don't worry I solved it by rebooting my PC, skipping the HardSPL and flashing with an official ROM (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108). I can now apply custom ROMs.
Hello Everybody,
My mobile at&t 8525 alias HTC 8525 is stuck in windows operator logo.It would not boot further. It happened while I tried to upgrade it from Windows 5.0 to Windows 6.0.First I got a tri-colour screen,but in a hurry I tried to backgrade to windows 5.0 again.
Other problem the mobile cannot be synced. I have installed Microsoft Active sync 4.5. Even then it could not be synced.
I tried to read all the posts ,but could not understand anything.
So please help me in getting my mobile repaired
Don't worie.
I had somewhat the same issue with a bad ROM flash.
Just disconnect the USB and boot to the bootloader screen (the tricolour screen) and you should be able to reflash the phone again.
Problem in syncing the mobile
I am not able to sync the mobile to the laptop.I have installed Microsoft Active sync 4.5. Even then it is not syncing.So how could I run the hermes upgrade if the mobile is not helping.
Please help
In Activesync on PC - Untick "Allow USB Connections".
Put the Hermes into bootloader (tri-colour screen) and connect by usb. Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe file you want. Follow onscreen instructions.
You need to have installed Hard SPL V7 for this to work...
did not work
Hello Boss
I tried to follow the procedure you suggested me. but it did not work. I tried with Hard SPl 7.0.
Please give me some suggestion
you dont need an active sync connection to flash it. Enter bootloader(tri colour screen) as you were told in the previous posts and Just click on the boxes that you do have a connection(even though you dont) and then flash the rom.
@ultramag69 i hve never had to untick allow usb connections and i have cocked up loads of rom flashes, saying that i have never had a problem flashing in vista either so maybe i am lucky
If you still cant flash doing it this way, then maybe you should try flashing from sd card instead, just make sure the battery is fully charged. Full instructions of how to do this are found in the hermes wiki, which i advise you to read anyway.
Oh and good luck anyway, you should be able to recover the phone from this ,so i wouldnt fret too much
Guess he isnt hardspl'ed... then his batt is death... must to flash a shipped rom.
correct me if im wrong.
Problem with upgrade At&T 8525 mobile
Hi!

I need help please. How resurrect it?
Excuse my English.
english is not the problem here cause we need more info... device info SPL IPL hardSPL? you go from 6.5 to 6.1?
Do you try to flash first the Stripped?
Does your batt has charge enough to boot?
There are many many things to say so... start to tell us all your history!
Hi
I tried to Hard spl with Hard Splv7. But I got a error. I even tried the Sd Card method.Its says loading and I get the tricolour mode. If I press the Power button its not showing the status of upgradation.
Where can I get a shipped rom. Actually my Spl is 1.11.

check the wiki pages for your device in the upper bar of this web forums
there are many official roms.
I also am currently using an 8525 (Herm100). It was received from an Ebay deal with WM5. I flashed it with the ATT OEM WM6pro (aka shipped wm6). Once it hit the three color boot screen, it sat on that for a couple of minutes then started cooking. Once it showed a progress bar, it took about 3 minutes to cook the WM6 over the WM5. It also showed a popup that stated going back to WM5 was not an option.
I would suggest running the installer again and going down to 7-11 for a refreshment. You may not have let it percolate long enough to set itself up for the actual ROM overwriting.
