Hello.
I have a problem I hope someone here can help me to solve..
I have an Orange SPV M3100 that hangs on the Windows Mobile screen when I try to start it.
I'm able to go into bootloader mode, and i have tried using mtty142.exe with the set 14 0 command. It still won't boot. I've also tried to hard reset it.. still won't boot..
What I did was trying to unluck the SIM-lock with the Universal unlocker (HTC_Uni_Unlock_v1) from buzz. At the time I thought universal meant that it worked on all HTC devices (stupid, I know)... And I also thought it was harmless to just try and see if it worked. But I got an error around 92-93% and after that my device won't start. So my radio ROM might be screwed.
I'd like to flash my ROM with the i-mate one (JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.exe) and then add the ext-rom. But how do I do that when I can just access the bootloader screen? And do you think it will boot again if I'm able to flash it?
Here's some more info about my device:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.04
Thank you very much in advance. Help will be highly appreciated.
No your rom *is* screwed. You can get into bootloader, you can even get to 11% of a dopod etc rom upgrade if you try, but you will not flash a new radio.
You CAN boot the device.
Do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset. The unit should boot but as you've screwed the radio you will not get a gsm signal and the phone will say unknown sim status.
I know this as I bought one cheap after the owner had done exactly the same as you.
IMEI-check's unlock solution is the only one that works IIRC, and in some cases this re-writes the security area of the phone and repairs similar issues, but in this case I could not get the prog to read.
You need to return the device to HTC - you'll need to pay approx £35 for reflashing back to the orange rom. This is what I had to do.
Currently you cannot book the m3100 in through the web as it's too new, instead email / call them.

edit - or if you're an orange customer ring 150 and act dumb saying it ' won't work'.... :wink:

What happens if you just leave the phone in bootloader mode and then try to flash any ROM (imate, dopod, htc...)? run 2 times the RomUpgradeUt.exe if you get an error on the 1st try.
If you get an error while running the rom upgrade utility you can monitor the USB port while upgrading (you will see the real error from the bootloader then), there's some more info on this wiki page:

No, if you want to send it back under warranty do not try to run a rom update as there are no orange rom packages. As described in my post above, it will get to 11% and stop. The device will be in the same state as before, with the same ext rom, but the splash screen and bootloader will have changed.
i.e: it will be bloomin obvious you tried flashing it and failed. Not what you want if you try for a warranty repair....
There is no error from the bootloader - as there is no radio rom present and no security area the upgrade process just hangs.

That's true, do not try to flash any other roms if you want to use the warranty or send the device back...
Thank you very very much for your help guys.
As I'm the administrator of these devices in the company I work for I just grabbed a new SPV and will send this thing back to Orange. It sounded like I'm getting a new one..
Well, I think I've learnt my lession.
Oh, and I have another question. Is there a reg editor I can install on this one so I can remove the app lock? I know I can install java apps, but it's a bit grumpy about apps that needs installation (the developer must be certificated).
Cheers guys.
Hi,
Try to flash a new rom using the SD card method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62596
The rom must match your CID. Let us know if it works

Sorry to take the thread a bit OT, but just wanted to confirm this again.
So, if I flashed my M3100 with a different ROM, and then had to return the phone to Orange for repair for a different reason, I can send it back to HTC just to have the ROM reflashed, and then send the phone to Orange to get the repairs done?
I've been hesitating on whether to flash the phone with a non-Orange ROM because I didn't want to give up the ability to obtain warranty repair (as there is no ROM upgrade yet). If it's just a matter of £35 and then everything else as normal, maybe it's not so bad...
Thanks!

I used "universal unlock tool" to unlock my device and now it don't start,don't boot...I tried the Hermes SD Card flashing methods with qtek001 rom and, a white screen with "loading...." appears for 2 second and then nothing else appened. I think that the method is right but I need to use a different software. what do you think about?
please help me
thankksssss
My SPV M3100 won't start
SD card method is no good as there is no upgrade from Orange until January.
Tried to do a radio upgrade explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
But it didn't work just came up with connection error, tried to monitor USB but nothing showed up to find out why, althouth mtty commands always do show up in USB Monitor.
Still have a brick and looking for a solution, hopefully, someday, please someone help me I am loosing my mind.

Dear friends at XDA Developers. I'm in big trouble. I set up the Vanilla OS on my TyTn and worked fine... then out of the blue I decided to upgrade it again and then some radio upgrade was performed and now it won't boot up. The phone is stranded in the splash screen at boot up but I can access the Bootloader (1.04) but if I use MTTY via USB I can only make some commands, info commands do not work (hang). Also, when trying to up/downgrade via SD card, it says "Loading..." and then "Checking..." and then no more (hangs). Now, I might be stupid but I have tried all possible threads in this forum (I think) but I can't find any solution. Please help me!!! :|

Here is the thread to go for help.

Really need help here. I have bricked my phone in the past, but was always able to restore it. Not this time...
I have IPL-1.04 and Olipro 2.10 SPL.
Tried to flash a new wm6.1 room and got a failure on 0%. The device reboots, goes throught the installers recovery procedure, then loops into this process again and again, always failing on 0%!
ANY HSPL ROM that I try to flash ends the same way now so I cam stuck in tricolor mode.
I wanted to try to flash a new ROM from the bootloader screen (this is all I have now), but no lnb command. Since I have Olipro 2.10 I can't flash 1.01mfg IPL...
I've scoured the forums / googls, but after hours of trial, no solution.
Help!!!?
update
ok... the old "set 14 0" didn't work, but "set 16 0" did!
I can now get back to the OS!
Only problem now is that any ROM I flash still results in crash on 0% and back to square 1...
Any ideas why this would happen? I am trying to flash in HSPL mode BTW.
try flashing using the sd card
Fixed
can believe it yet - but it seems like a bad USB cable did this.
I still can't believe it, since mtty communication worked fine, but tried new cable and I'm back in business... go figure...
Hey, my phone is an At&t 8525 and after finally fixing the white screen problem and flashing hard-spl v7 and a couple of roms I bricked the phone when flashing the last touch flo rom. During the flash the ruu wrapper stopped and indicated there was an error. I did the recovery and it supposedly completed succesfully if I can remember right. When it reboot it would not get past boot loader. And thats where I am now, the phone will not get past boot loader.
I've tried every method on these forum I could found
SD card flashing dosent work, I get the 002..... error in red.
Flashing the factory an at&t rom dosent work either, gets the same error
\
As for as I know the MTTY method dosent work, I don't know how to type in commands into bootloader and when I type in 14 0 in MTTY nothing happens
KITL is not enabled
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.03
The phone does not boot into bootloader when I hit the power button, I have to hold the comm button, power button, and soft reset in order to bring up bootloader.
When bootloader is up and the phone is connected to the computer via usb bootloader displays usb on the screen and windows detects the device as an HTC device.
Again i've spent about a week and a half trying to fix this phone and I don't know what to do anymore, i've tried more methods than listed above I can't remember though. If anyone can give me a hint on what to do I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
P.S Can someone please tell me how you type commands in bootloader or MTTY
You DON'T have Hard SPL V7 installed..... Otherwise your SPL would be 2.10.
Connect the Hermes to the pc, make sure active sync has benn disabled - got to settings, untick connect by USB. It should register on the pc. Go to bootloader then run the .nbh file for your stock rom... Make sure its the carrier rom that it was shipped with. It doesn't have to be WM05 but it DOES have to be your ORIGINAL carrier rom. Let it run through, you may gewt lucky.....
If it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7....... Makes it so much easier to fix then...
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
I tried downloading and sd card flashing a stock rom from a list of factory roms of all Hermes that I found here on xda. It gave me the same error though. I'm not exactly sure which exact rom to download from that list either. Any more help would be appreciated, thx
Wow I feel retarded, I used the wrong factory rom. After I used the right one it worked perfectly, I now have my 8525 back! Thx so much man, ur the friggin man!
Congrats bro you got it atlast. good luck & take care your baby in future. try to help others with your experience.
Glad you fixed it mate, but if I were you I'd also make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. It is the safety net to help when things go wrong... Never gonna be 100% safe but better odds with Hard SPL V7...
SPL - 2.10 oli
Cheers...
Ok... Rejoining the 8525 Clan
Is this Forum still alive???
Been a while guys, figured I would break out the 8525... charge it up and see what kind of things are new in this community. Unfortunately, it looks as if the radio is bricked on it. Seems like it will install ROM's that the radio is not included on. NO GSM is on the boot display, which is strange as I was using this phone until I got the Tilt about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I was a hardcore flasher back then... every other day it seemed, so I know it has (or had) everything it needed like the Oli 2.10 SPL... but it seems like I cannot recover this radio issue.
I am messing with the different original OEM and Carrier ROMs hoping I can get passed the 11-12% mark, and I will let you know if something changes. Any idea if un-installing SPL 2.10 Oli, and then trying to walk back through the old SPL steps could help? I am just trying to figure out another way to get around this radio issue... or basically I have a PDA, no phone Damn phone hasn't been touched in like 2 years, you think it would be just as fine as it was when I took the SIM out.
Cheers

Edit: Update: OS is working fine but unable to flash radio. Getting stuck at 0% when attempting via USB. SD card method not working - no error messages at all, in bootloader mode. However, SD card is detected fine in the OS and works properly.
Hey all.
It all started off when I tried flashing an OS ROM on my i-mate JASJAM, but it wouldn't work. Kept getting the infamous Error 260. I'm on Vista 32, so I downgraded the drivers as mentioned in the wiki/forums but it still wouldn't work. So I tried flashing it in VMware with XP SP3 but still kept getting the error. Changed the cables and ports too. Tried with about 3 different ROMS (AT&T stripped, official i-mate, other ROMs on forum). Finally, I used a newer RUU as included in the latest HardSPL and it started to flash - but failed after 1% !
I tried re-flashing an OS ROM but I'm just not able to connect due to Error 260. So I resorted to the SD card method, but the process doesn't even start. It's a brand new 1Gig card, tried formating both as FAT16 and 32 and followed all instructions, but it's like the card isn't even being detected.
So, any ideas guys? I would really appreciate if you could help me, as this is my only phone. ( I was mugged a few days ago - had to surrender my old phone )
Current stats are:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
PS: The first thing I did was flash to SPL-2.10.Olipro and after many tries, it finally worked. I was even able to boot the OS and everything worked fine.
The error 260 came up on a thread a few weeks ago here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520226 the person with the problem in the end managed to fix it and flashed a new rom, it might be a good idea to read over this thread and see if you can find any other ideas to help you.
Good luck
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure though how he managed to fix the problem - it looks like he managed to flash the HardSPL and was able to upgrade the OS ROM after it. I'm already at that stage, only thing is, I still get the Error 260 and the SD card method not working.
Um, for some reason I simply tried the AT&T RUU via USB and it started flashing! The RUU wasn't able to query my OS version, and I chose the force Safe SSPL option. It's now flashing!
Still no idea why the SD card didn't work
Edit: Flashing successful! OS is loading now! Thanks a lot Scotty93
Now to try updating the radio.. *fingers crossed*
im glad to see that youve managed to get it to work, if you can get the sd card method to work it is best as it can stop your hermes from bricking which is a problem if a radio flash goes wrong.
Good luck
Well, it happened. Bricked again. I *had* to flash the radio because I was getting a "No GSM" message on the screen. (Was getting it earlier too)
Tried updating via USB (SD card method not working again).
The progress screen showed up on the phone, but it was stuck at 0%. After 5 mins I got an Error 262 message from the RUU. It had a built-in recovery feature, but it didn't work (gets stuck again at 0% and same thing repeats).
Tried these radios so far:
1.56.70.11
1.48.00.10
1.46.00.11
So, any ideas guys?
Update: Tried flashing the i-mate SHIP rom. Process starts, but gets stuck at 13%. Error 262 in the RUU.
I've just checked this thread and my situation is quite similar to that. I however, haven't attempted to downgrade my SPL yet, to access the rtask command. Is that necessary?
I'm able to use the info 7 command in mtty (VMware), but it throws up nothing new.
At the moment I've switched back to the AT&T OS and it's booting fine, but still no gsm.
Is it worth trying any other ship/radio ROMs? Or can I do something via mtty?
What size sd card you using, It has to be 2Gb or less. Also must be formatted FAT32.
If the radio rom has been corrupted, and it looks like it might be, there is no real way to fix. Some people get lucky by reflashing their SHIPPED STOCK ROM or their SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Most other fixes I've heard of don't work, or if they do, not for long....
Good Luck...
Cheers...
It's a brand new 1GB card, formatted as FAT32, 512kb block size. The WM OS is reading it properly.
I'll try and flash a shipped radio one of these days. Thanks for your input.
Disregard...
