Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

and sorry if its such a newb question (dont burn me for it)
i have an o2 atom exec (using RC3 rom with touchflo) and yesterday i /soft reseted/ the phone because it was acting funny, after the reset it would be stuck at the startup screen and would not load past that the whole day, so i waited and re-tried in the evening.. the same thing occured... i was at the time able to load into bootloader (MN2) but then could do nothing else.. so i searched throughout the forums and found a post by 'chartreux' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1684559&highlight=EBOOT.NB0 but had not read the entire post and proceeded to load (mn1) onto my phone via mini sd card and it worked, my phone was working again, it performed a hard reset and restored it to factory settings (ie: calendar, msgs, contacts, software all gone) and phone is working normally again... since it has done this i wanted to update to 'wm6.1 atom exec rom' just to be up-to-date and have synced it via activesync and have run "DSUU" but my phone just restarts and loads the current rom i have installed! and just repeats everytime i have tried (have tried atleast 50 times)
so my main question.. is my bootloader dead? i know my phones not bricked since its still working perfectly im just not able to upgrade my ROM but can still do everything else (such as browse through files, run programs, make calls)
and last of all.. can anybody please help?! as i am at the point running the phone over with my car!

what version of your bootloader now? MN2 or MN1? if still MN1 please read again the thread to update your bootloader to MN2 (since your device is ATOM EXEC).
and after done, please check when you run DSUU, see on the left bottom whether have a drop down box or not? if yes then choose "ALL"
hope this can help to solve your problem.
hey! thanks for the reply mate!
but im not sure i cant check the version of my bootloader...
wont let me get into it by pressing camera+SR or camera+off button..
just boots straight into the operating system.
and, as for the DSUU it just restarts the phone after i choose all, and goes through to the today screen on the phone, and as for the DSUU update its stays at the screen which shows "The current software is now being updated from your device."
followed by an error appearing after a few minutes showing " No download target was found!!" even though my atomexec is synced
which is then followed by the "connection error" screen.
please help.. this is seriously pissing me off...

try to downgrade again your bootloader to MN1 (please do it step by step). as long you can secure your bootloader, hopefully you can resolved your problem.
remember to upgrade again to MN2 once you able to downgrade to MN1 before try flashing to wm6.1.
good luck.
still cant access bootloader.. even when trying DSUU it just boots straight into the operating system, when trying to update and also i tried the MN1 bootloader again and tried to get into it... still nothing.. it just resets, i tried it with my 4GB mini sd, 2gb msd, and a 64mb mini sd.. could not get into it... sigh...
Ok try a deep breath and read all the posts on dead boatloaders and other upgrading problem posts through and through. Then try to change ur USB cable and what system are u using i.e XP or Vista????
thankyou kindly, for the suggestions i have been reading through alot of posts and tried alot but.. nothing so far.. i guess its not too bad since its stuck on windows mobile 6 with abusalzas rom..
im just annoyed i cannot upgrade to the latest 'rom' and since my phone 'had' to perform a hard reset why not update so yeh.. and i am using windows xp for my computers os.
Did u change the USB cable mate, once I had to do it and the interesting thing is that the same USB cable was working perfectly for other things but causing problems when connecting to my Atom Exec.
yeh tried it with my old v3 cable didnt work has the same outcomes.. sigh.. i might try that dead bootloader hardware and software recovery from this post by Alex_Beda & 1stMASTER

Hi guys. I've been here for while and over the years i flashed my hermes with various cooked and original roms over and over again. However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.
If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.
1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow instructions.
cheers...
Still nothing...
Thanks for the reply Ultra Well i tried the Power+Ok+reset but nothing happens, the god damn green LED just stays on forever. However i can get to boot with power+the 2 quick buttons from the windows and ok. Can i get access to the SD Card from here? Havent been updated for quite a while, any particular rom you may suggest? Looking for stability, speed and cool home screen... I really apreciated your answer man, thanks
Finally the Cure!!!
It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers!

Help needed.!!!
My phone suddenly started turning off today and did the vibrate then freeze on boot issue on me.. (overheating?? far too quickly)
so i thought ok .. i'll put a stock rom back on 3.14 uk (not actually able to download for my serial number from htc.com but i got it off the forum, original rom was 1.66 i think a few months back)
I did this and it still over heats..so i thought i'll remove hspl and put stock spl on to take it for repair/return sell to cex or something.
i got the 3.14 nbh and renamed in LEOIMG and everything was fine an seemed to be flashing ok..
it was at the red/green/blue screen for ages and the text did display spl.304 rather than hspl.. so i thought..cool..its done.. so i removed the battery and put it back in..
BAD MISTAKE!!
i get these errors issues now:
triangle with software update failed try again when i turn it on
0028022 "not allow" text when i go into bootloader
i cant load a rom because i dont seem to have hspl anymore
i get "upgrade rom coded error try again".. on the coloured screen in boatloader
i get critial error bad spl version when i try to use hspl2/3
when i try to flash with stock rom again i get to 2% then get the errors:
invalid vendor id error 294
then goes to software update failed triangle try again
am i basically f**ked???
Did i remove the battery mid flash during the spl bit?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP WISE PEOPLE!!

****.... tough luck mate....
As long as u got rid of hspl you should be able to get the phone fixed by htc or tmobilie or whatever plan ur on..
Good luck
bought it off ebay..so cant really take it to my provider..the phone is over (just) a year old so probably not in htc warranty? how do i check?
i will donate money to anyones paypal account if they can help fix this
Install the correct stock ROM (the one who match with your S/N) over SD.
how do i know which matches? and how do i do it via sd?

Put in your serial no of your phone (found underneath the battery) into the HTC support website and you will find the ROM that matches your phone. You will then need to download the ROM, extract it and take the .img file out of it and rename it as LEOIMG as before and flash via SD card.
shouldn't even need to use sd card. the correct rom should downgrade the spl over usb.
phone into bootloader,connect usb, run your update .exe, done.
you are guilty of getting over excited and lack of research. five minutes should have told you that you can't use hspl to install 3.14, and that flashing from sd first removes hspl,changes spl, then runs the compatibility tests again and shows exclamation mark if it fails.
I had the same problem i thought i bricked my htc which i was testing before buying i know stupid idea brick the phone before i buy it, basically i had installed hspl 2.08 from 1.42.00 and installed the froyo ROM build which was all good it was working but running really slowly, i couldnt get the ringtone to change which was probably due to the fact that the build did not come with any preinstalled which is fine as i downloaded a ring on mp3 and set it as that, and the radio was one of the latest which wasnt giving me a good reception so i decided, fine that's ok let me get my hands on some apps now so i downloaded a couple tweaks, multiboot and games and put them on my sd card; as well as a tweak to enhance the speed as it was going really slowly on the android, the second i put my sd card into the phone and tried running metamorph an app i was advised to use to apply a windows 7 mobile theme the phone went blank, the only way to get the phone into tri coloured screen mode was to plug it in via the FRONT usb port of my machine which would bring my phone back to life.........oh so i thought, so i was able to see the phone load up to htc white load screen and it would display my buil in red BUT after that it should show the "quietly something something message" and load right.....WRONG the phone just restarted and it would just do the same thing go to htc and restart so i managed to use the vol down+cancel call button to kick it into the tri coloured screen and managed to get the phone back into hspl 1.42.00 which completed but then i still couldnt get past the htc welcome screen!! ARGHH!!! So after spending a whole night applying different hspl's and trying to reflash teh rom via usb and failing i thought id give up and just pay for a bricked phone which i was paying £150 for btw (i know a bargain and brand new!!!) BUT as i came into work today i thought let me try a different pc as that may affect it, and after i downloaded an official ROM update for the phone 1.72 i i plugged my phone in and after literally 20 seconds the bloody thing turned on and started working as normal with no multiboot or rom installed i think i shall be CAREFULLY installing android on the phone one last time. . . . I hope this helped any users out there as i was panicking, and please remember that whatever you do is seriously AT YOUR OWN RISK, do not just jump the gun...sit down do some proper reading and watch some videos because after having to trouble shoot i must say im pretty good at applying roms hahahah i shall be very cautious from now on though. . .. sorry if the post was too long i am a noob my first post!!
yes.. i managed to fix it.. the same way kurt willems above mentioned... i installed the stock voda rom that matched my serial number.. kurt send me you paypal email and i'll bung a few quid in for your help..
gonna swap this phone for the galaxy s... good swap?
So u managed to save ur HD2 and now u wanna swap it?
keep HD2. Its great, and so many possibilities. U must know what ur doing, tho (kindof)
Also, his link for donation is everywhere. 'DONATE' 'DONATE TO ME' 'If you like my work buy me a beer'
haha..oh yes missed the donate button..
im a bit sick of the winmo set up... it's just abit too fiddly with soo many settings to mess with..plus the handset gets hot too quickly recently and turns off, vibrates when i turn it on and freezes... need to get rid before it gets worse.. cant be bothered with the hassle.... besides.. i like the android phones..so ill go back to them...
right im having some real issues now, i decided NOT to mod my phone again, because once my phone started up again i had to insert the simcard so i turned the phone completely off took out the batt and re-inserted the simcard and then it was bricked again (htc welcome screen, then restarts then back to htc welcome screen and repeat) after that i tried another go at installing the hspl again i just took a random version tbh and tried that as mine is factory unlocked uk htc, and then it failed i then took out the battery and notice that the spokes that connect to the metal part of the battery was a bit crooked so i carefully reseated the battery and hey presto its working again ( i can get into the phone home screen etc) so i quickly downloaded the origional spl from theunlockr"dot"co(m)/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock/ and installed it and then gave the phone a factory reset and now it seems to be back to how it would be if it was brand new but now im in a dilemma as i dont know which spl to use as well as what rom is best suited for teh spl and radio because i do not want to brick my phone again because if it does i will end up going back to the phone that has lasted me the longest nokia 6200 XD

Firstly you haven't bricked your phone. Bricking your phone means that it is reactive as a brick - it does not switch on.
To get the latest standard ROM, then go to the HTC website for your area, select the ROM you require and enter your phone's serial number. If you are entitled to use that ROM, then it will download. If not then you will get an error message. You may have to select your operator's version of the ROM.

Assuming, from your icons, that the HD2 is locked to O2; therefore you should be able to download the O2 1.72 ROM (no HSPL required) and it will not invalidate your warranty.
nope thats just what tariff i am using. . .Ive been looking around and now im qutie confused i thought the process for having android on the htc was literally
Download a hspl and install - reset
Download a radio and install - reset
Run CLCARD.EXE then HARET.EXE and presto were in android, now unless something has changed is this right because im about to.
Download hspl3 and install - reset
Download radio and install - reset
Download a ROM and install and - reset
now is this the neccessary steps or am i about to mess up my phone again =.=
It would be helpful to know which ROM, RADIO and SPL you already have.
As for running Android, all that is pre-required is that you have the minimum .50 RADIO (it should be specified in the Android ROM's page). Although flashing the newest RADIO (2.15.50.14) won't do any harm.
Although I am with T-Mobile UK, I have the HTC 1.66WWE ROM, 2.15.50.14 RADIO and 1.66HSPL (via HSPL2). I downloaded an Android version and installed it on the SD Card. It works fine. Since I only tried it a couple of times, I can say that it boots and generally works. But I prefer WimMo.

I dug up my old Atom Life since the HTC HD2 is in for repairs. But when I was going to flash it to a less buggy ROM something happened, and now it's stuck in DSUU mode. I can flash any ROM from the MINI-SDCard, extended and regular rom. But it doesn't help one bit, it boots to DSUU mode.
I can connect to it in bootloader mode with USB, but I get a model ID error with every ROM I try. Even if I flash the same ROM/Ext ROM first from the Mini SD and then try to flash again from USB I get that model ID error. Weird stuff... Anybody got a god idea to how I can fix this?

Maybe the file was corrupted, try downloading the ROM again or another WM6.5 ROM for Atom Life. Hope this helps.
Thanks for trying to help, but like I say in the first post I can flash any ROM from the SD Card and it still boots to DSUU mode. So I have tried that.
try to disconnect everything and remove the battery. Let the remaining set for about 5 minutes.
Then reinstall the battery and try to upgrade again. This time it happened to pass through.
Sorry, but I've tried that. I even left it for a couple of days without power this weekend, and it still didn't help.
I have the same problem.
anyone help please!
Doesn't seem like there is any help. My Atom is put away in a drawer.
the only thing you should try is :
clean your record button, actually for some device, i found stuck hardware key. if they stuck at important key such as "recorder" on atom life, this will always keep you booting to boot loader mode...
diassemble your device carefully and just spray any contact cleaner while pushing your broken key repeatidily or if you have correct tools and part, replace it...
if the problem still persist, then the only suspect is your NAND FLASH on the device actually broken/corrupt/have some damage sector... and nothing you can do about it...
or maybe someone can reformat it?
In case anybody stumbles over this thread some day I finally made it work again by removing both the USB and SD card. Then I was able to use up and down and enter on the D-pad to choose "Boot OS" and strangely enough it worked! I'm not sure if that is because I had already flashed 5-6 different ROMs from the SD card, but no matter it's working now. Talk about tricky device!
