Hi,
I've tried upgrading to the official rom yet it always freezes on the RUU (or sd card method) at 11% (or 12% if I use hardspl V7)
Ive tried using the guide on here The wiki and on the other page on wiki yet neither have helped me restore my gsm.
Up till I used the HardSPL I've been able to boot the OS but now its stuck in bootloader.
Does anybody know what to do know?
My IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.03
I have the official rom which I'm trying to flash, does anybody know how to wipe out the problem, also this isn't related to bad blocks since I've scanned for them
If anybody has any ideas ill be happy to try them.
Thanks in advance

hey
i have tytn with spl 1.04,rom 1.18 and radio pof's 1.16 ,supercid
tried to upgrade main rom a few times with different roms
the process completes successfully but afterwards the tytn just stays on the htc logo and doesn't boot up windows
the only way i can bring it back is by flashing to htc 1.18 rom through bootloader
any ideas what's wrong?
radio only upgrade works perfectly btw
can you post output of these bootloader commands?
task 32
info 2
info 7
info 8

You can also try flashing from SD card, see the wiki.
before or after upgrade ?
both, before and after.
errors
i got a lot of errors at the before stage
can u take a look at it before i try to upgrade again
yup! that was my fear... the new ROM fails to boot because you got bad blocks in NAND flash. Luckily it only affects the ExtROM.
anyway to fix ?
damn
tried to use the extended rom unlocker and now my device is stuck on the htc logo again
plz plz plz help
Unfortunately we don't know a method to fix bad blocks yet, you can start researching yourself. AFAIK the ExtROM is FAT16 (someone correct me if i'm wrong)... so try to find a formatting tool for that.
If you want to upgrade the ROM, I suggest you to flash 1.01-MFG bootloader and flash only OS.nb using 'lnb' command. It's explained in the wiki.
thanks
brought it back to life atm using hard reset
i'll try 1.01 upgrading
tried the upgrade through 1.01
same results
Hi, please help me! my wizard i updated to a wm6 rom, farias, but i decided to put the offical tmobUK rom on it...however once i tried my pc froze up and i had to reboot, the phone now sticks on the ipl splash screen, i can get the bootloader up, but i cant get the love rom to install while in bootloader, nor any other rom. please help me!
it is a G4 locked wizard with:
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21
GSM: 02.19.11
OS 1.6.2.4
help would be most appreciated!
thanks
REtarded question: Do you have your storage card in while you are trying to flash?
ummmmmm...thinks...i believe i stupidly did this time, i didnt before tho... but its not in at the moment while i am trying to flash from bootloader
Take it out and try flashing again
yeah i have taken it out, and it says when i try to install the love rom "strumento di aggiornamento non valido" which im guessing is upgrade device not valid...
right would i be correct in saying that it would be possible to get it to work again if i could mix and match roms of the same ipl/spl to get it to boot again? if yes then any ideas what roms?
i am getting so confused...i swear my wizard was a g4, but just realised if its 2.21 then surely its g3...:S but i swear i remember looking at it before i flash farias wm6 rom and as i had to use shelltool as thats the only way it work i believed it was g4...:S
G4's end in 0001 .. so if ur phone was a g4 it would say 2.21.0001 ..
but would the ipl/spl not have been changed through any flashing or anything then?
it is extremely hard to brick a G3.. what I would do is try flashing it back to an official carrier rom.
ive tried installing RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe but it says "error 296 upgrade only the nbf file cannot be used for your pda phone. please get newer NBF file"
stupid...yeah somehow i believed iot was a g4 when i flashed it using shelltool as i couldnt get farias wm6 on normally, but guessing thats because it wasnt CID unlocked, so now i installed button 1.05 and unlocked my G3 (lol) and gonna install ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe so should take me back to an official ship from t mob running wm5 which i want atm...then as im writing this i realise this rom is US i believe...dammit! ill find my original rom that was on it or something as any g3 rom should work now i believe. thanks for your help
My Hermes is still showing No GSM. Please inform me if I got something wrong.
I have tried to upgrade the radio rom from SPL-1.40:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1321011&postcount=1337
That's wrong because HERM_Radinly_1.41.00.10_CustomRUU should be upgrade from SPL-1.04, right?
Because I have stuck on the tricolor screen, so I need to re-upgrade from HERM_Radinly_1.41.00.10_CustomRUU with the same choice of bootloader, right?
And then, I have succesfully upgraded to 1.41.00.10, but also showing No GSM, and the SPL is upgraded to 2.10 olipro after by using HardSPL V7.
And I can see "Upgrade instructions
Just download and execute these to upgrade; however it is recommended that users install HardSPL before flashing these radios.
" in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms, then...I thought that I have doing right to upgrade the radio rom to 1.43.00.00.
Yes, I have upgraded to 1.43.00.00, but my Hermes is still showing No GSM. So I found from wiki, I found http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick, in the first line of the table, yes, I can boot the OS and no GSM, so I flash Hard SPL and update the rom from 1.43.00.00 to 1.40.30.00, but it showing No GSM also.
Then, I tried 1.07.03.10, no GSM also.
After that, I found I have missed a important sentance, "You can now do radio only upgrades in Bootloaders other than SPL 1.04.". Then, I try to found how can I downgrade SPL from 2.10 to 1.04. Thanks for Martinhdk and shogunmark, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1330247#post1330247.
down to 1.10 by choosing bootloader, not success....
after use Force by SSPL, success!!
and then down to 1.04 by choosing bootloader, not success....
first time not success when using SSPL....
second time also....
down to 1.04 by chooing bootloader again....not success
down to 1.04 by chooing bootloader and Hard-SPL....success!!!
Now...not HardSPL anymore!!!!
Then, I downgraded SPL to 1.04 successfully, checked by mtty also. Then, I can start to fix No GSM finally.
And then upgrade to 1.40.30.00 by method of RUU
but I can remember that, Upgrade instructions
Just download and execute these to upgrade; however it is recommended that users install HardSPL before flashing these radios.
install HardSPL V7, and then now is SPL-2.10.Olipro
After that, run HERM_Radinly_1.40.30.00_CustomRUU, choosing SSPL or bootloader version, failured sever times
When choosing the HardSPL and bootloader version SPL-2.10 in the second time....success!! But it is still showing No GSM.....
and... the PPC always cannot detect the USB connection....
What shoud I do now?
Do I made a big confuse on the concept of upgrading?
Please give me a small tip.....I really read many and many threads but....
I just want to use my PPC normally.....
I can see that you have certainly been searching the forums so hopefully others more knowldegable than me will help - rather than tell you to look even more as they so often do here on this site when the problem is simply inexperience for most of us.
In the meantime have you tried following the "No GSM" instructions on the Hermes Wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5? It looks like this will need even more reading but hopefully it will help. I am afraid I am not familiar with this procedure but others should be able to offer support.
I must admit I thought HardSPL was OK for all radio upgrades - but perhaps you have read more than me.
Good luck
My Ameo has started to freeze at the loading screen just after the rom and radio version numbers disappear from the screen. Originally i was using AP5 and decided to downgrade to SPL 1.2 to try some other roms. I followed the procedure and flashed ap3 new and then ran SPL downgrader to try some other roms which seemed to work correctly. Unfortunately when flashing any SPL 1.2 rom the box gets to 100% and reboots as normal but i get the problem mentioned above. I have tried to search the forums for anything related to this and if I have missed anything I apologise. Im now without my beloved Ameo so thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Did you remove your SD card? This will cause problems some times...
Just to add the IPL and SPL numbers on the bootloader
Just to add the IPL and SPL numbers on the bootloader are :
ATHE100
IPL-v1.00
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro

Yes i have taken the SD card out and get the same problem.
Does no one else have any ideas?
Does no one else have any ideas? times are so hard now im having to use a Samsung E900 do you feel my pain...
Now you're on SPL 1.2, have you reflashed to a 1.2 ROM? AP3New is still 3.5. Boot into bootloader and give it a try.
I have tried all the ones i have found.
Currently i have t-mobile WM6 rom from their website flashed but I have also tried IRUS Vanilla Rom, Sogarth Base Rom 1.2 and well all of them I could find for 1.2 but all freeze at the same point when resetting (albeit with different bootscreens). As you would guess im desperate, I would guess that when downgrading to SPL1.2 its gone wrong somewhere. Does anyone know of a way to update the SPL back to 3.2 from the bootloader as thats the only way i can get a connection to my phone from my pc.
Thanks for your replies so far.
Sorry i meant SPL3.5
After flashing my charmer with wm 6.1 it was stuck at the Boot Screen and my phone no longer made a hard reset as it give formatting failed error.
Then i went to download an official WM5 rom from Tmobile, then I went into bootloader and successfully flash the official ROm. But again format error
Now it just shows
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.21
I tried the prophet ROM flashing as advised somewhere else but it failed at 95% giving me invalid nbh error
In the past I had successfully solved the problem by flashing the prophet ROM but this time .......
Any complete help or specially cooked Prophet ROM for this type of recovery...
You better not to flash Prophet ROM to charmer. Charmer wiki, compatibility section

But this is for recovery puposes as described somewhere else
Nobody seems to be interested to take pains in solving my problems
I do.
You have to flash with a SDcard. Search the Propet and Wizard section to find out how it works.

Thanks Mr ChrBeck!!!
But I think that some way of downgrading the the SPL to 2.?? from the current 3.08 would allow me to install the PROPHET ROM for recovery and then it would be possible for me to upgrade to orignal WM5 ROM and then upgrade to your lovely ROM that I had before your latest upgrade.
Am I right or if not then can you give me the necessary files and instructions for the sd card recovery method.
Please help me as no one in my locality knows much about CHARMER and simply unable to help me in this aspect.
Thanks again.
Dr.Zia ur Rehman
I'll try to help you. In the Wizard forum there is a sticky whitch tells how to do the SDrecovery. Just search it. With the SD Card you can just fully flash a ROM. You can't downgrade anything because downgrades are looked.
If I'll find the sticky this evening I can post the link here.
Cant there be some kind of HARD SPL for this ..... charmer that would allow me to flash the prophet ROM fully. In this way I had recovered my CHARMER but I think that at that time it had lower version of IPL or SPL so the full PROPHET ROM was sucessfully installed and I was able to hard reset and flash the orignal T-Mobile ROM that I think upgraded my SPL too!!!
There is no hardSPL. Noone ever designed one. And if the Prophet trick doesn't work you can try it with a G3 Wizard ROM too. But if that doesn't help to search for the SDUpdate!
To do an SD update you must have a ROM dump on SD card from bootloader.
Method can be found here. Section 8. OS, GSM Image Reflash Procedure
Thanks for finding it for us. There was a time I read this manual completely but I don't know much of it anylonger.
Charmer needs to be CID unlocked to perform SD card flashing.
I agree. I just forgot to mention this.
Then forget it. You can't CID unlock a 2.x or 3.x. So this method is out.
How can I confirm that my charmer is CDI unlocked???
Any if this is the case then what to do with my poor CHARMER....
ANY HOPES OF ITS RECOVERY in some other manner???
Also can you post link to the wizard ROM you mentioned in your post for recovery ???
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION !!!
Well, you have a boatloader over 1.x right? If so your device can't be unlocked. But you can try to flash any WM5 ROM for Wizard. But be sure it is jast the ROM. No phone or bootloader in it.
Maybe that works.
Would you be kind enough to post a link to the proposed ROM to which I can give a try?
Is this would be possible to flash any specialiy cooked Prophet ROM only with OS as the complete Prophet ROM (with no ID RUU)gives me error at 95%.
Further isn't there a way to downgrade my spl that would allow me to flash prophet ROM that confirmly worked for me in the past.
Please help i am in great trouble.......
