Basically, here is m problem:
I have a hermes. The GSM wasent working. I though maybe an upgrade to WM6 could correct some software bugs.... Wrong!
I realized it actually briecked (type 1a). Trying to follow the instruction to fix it, but i am not able to send ANYTHING to it!. Either by SD or Custom RUU. Finally i am standing with a Hermes, WM6, and it will NOT accept any flashes i try to put in it!
Its on HardSPL (2.10) IPL 1.04
Thanks in advance
Stephen_D
EDIT: Forgot to say what happens when i try to flash it!
With an SD card all I get it "Loading..." then returns to the bars
By USB it starts updating And freezes on 0%, then the software pops an error after 5 mins like what it can communicate.
Thanks
sort of the same problem...
I've been trying to flash a ROM for the past hour now and my phone doesn't get flashed.
(I already have HardSPL and I'm using a 1gig micro sd)
What I did:
Format the sd card to FAT32
copied the RUU_signed.nbh to sd card then renamed it to HERMING.nbh
I place the sd card on the phone that's connected to a charger
I press Power Button and Ok button on the left side then push reset
What happens:
It goes to bootloader mode (tricolor screen)
then it says loading...(2 seconds)
then goes back to the tricolor screen again
I waited for the prompt that I need to push the Power Button but it never came, so I soft reset it and tried it again but the same all over again.
The ROM I was trying to flash is the AT&T stripped ROM, I read it here that it's better to flash a stock ROM first before flashing/upgrading to a cooked ROM.
By the way I just found out that my X01HT isn't a Softbank, it's a DoCoMo.
Is my phone upgradeable?
Can someone please tell me what I missed?....I really want to upgrade my phone without bricking it.
Thanks!

What format is your SD card? Fat or Fat32?
Its gota be Fat32 to flash from it.
it's all good now....
I've given up flashing my phone from the sd card so I decided to flash it with my laptop instead. Luckily it worked without a hitch.
I'm so loving my phone now, been playing with it for 2 hours and the usual hang ups I got before are non-existing anymore.
To use the sd card method you need to check that the .nbh file is hermimg.nbh, NOT herming.nbh as you had written on your previous post.
The holy trinity of sd card flashing, Formated FAT32, Named hermimg.nbh & sd card is 2Gb or less...
Cheers...
I see.....
ok hermimg.nbh
will try this again, maybe next week since I'm enjoying my new ROM right now.
Thanks ultramag69!

ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....
az
well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....
Ok, got tired of waiting for the VZ upgrade and decided to go the DCD route.
I am using scrawnyb's upgrade guide and got the Hard SPL 2.40 Bootloader on my Verizon 6800 with no problem (I did get stuck on the bootloader screen but fixed that with the exit bootloader program). Now the questions that will hopefully allow me to finish:
1. According to Scrawnyb, you load the radio first. I downloaded 3.42.30 and extracted it and it extracts as a .nbh file extension, not an executable. So, how do you execute it? I tried clicking on it, changing the extension to a .exe, but it still won't load on the phone while in bootloader.
2. Do I need to load the DCD 3.2.5 first and then the radio?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Les
XV6800 Stock (trying to go to DCD 3.2.5 and Radio 3.42.30)
Upgrade
The easiest thing to do is rename the .nbh TITAIMG.nbh and put it on the root of a sd micro card and enter the bootloader by doing a hard reset and allowing the update to run, then get the dcd kitchen or rom and follow the instructions on the download thread. There is a great wiki at the beginning of this site.
Good Luck and Enjoy like the rest of us!
Don't forget to thank all of the great people bringing us these great ROM's
There is also an executable version of the radio somewhere. That is what I used to flash to the latest radio version. I dont remember where I got it - it was either from this site or another site.
I then wanted to go to an earlier radio version and had to use the SD method. Overall, the SD method is pretty easy, once you get the card formatted correctly, which can be tricky.
Thanks for the tips. Now, I seem to have a new problem. Again, the only change I have made to the phone is install Hard SPL 2.40. I still have the stock rom, etc. Now though, when I hit the power button to turn off the display and go into sleep mode, it completely cuts the power and I have to do a soft reset. Anyone know whats up with that?
Jeez, maybe waiting for the damn VZ update wouldn't be so bad after all :-(
Thanks,
Les
Well, just learned something that might be of value to others. As above, sleep mode was not working when pushing the power button if the phone was on - I was having to do a soft reset to turn the phone back on. Again, keep in mind that I had not flashed a new radio or rom yet, only loaded Hard SPL 2.40. Figuring I had a bad button and anticipating taking it back to VZ, I downgraded the Bootloader and relocked the phone using Titan Relocker as per the Wiki. Now the bootloader is V-1.06 and guess what? After a hard reset and reprograming, etc. - the power button is acting as it should.
Well, thats enough for tonight, might try again tomorrow but going to have to find the radio in a .exe format first. Otherwise, I guess I will have to try the SD card route.
Thanks,
Les
I had the exact same problem, flashed the bootloader and then had to go to an auction, phone worked great until it either fell asleep or I put it to sleep, then it wouldn't come back until I reset.
This apparently is just a common issue for those who have started the upgrade but didn't complete it.
I also had the issue with formatting the memory card, my laptop has a SD card slot on it, but it uses some weird software driver that makes the drive letter disappear when the card isn't inserted, and this prevented it from formatting it correctly. I then tried a USB adapter that turns any SD card into a pen drive, it also wouldn't work, so I broke down and bought a cheap mem card reader from walmart for $20 and it works perfect. And has a SIM card reader on it to boot, tho I don't own a phone with a SIM card, but if I ever do, I'm all set

Had the same problem with my dell laptop built-in SD reader (I have a thread about this). Had to whip out my sandisk card reader which ended up working flawlessly.
Seems like the built-in ones just dont do it properly.

can someone help me? all reply will be appreciate...
mine is :
ipl: 1.04
spl: 2.10 olipro
Try the sd card method to fix.
1. Format sd card fat32 and copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert card and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow on screen directions.
Should reflash the OS, just remember to have more than 50% battery power and backup your sd card so you can restore it before you flash. SD card has to be 2Gb or less.
Cheers...
sdcard upgrading
man i already follow sd card upgrading but nothing happened when i get onto bootloader screen.
2 things to check, the .nbh file MUST be named hermimg.nbh with no spelling errors. The sd card MUST be 2Gb or less and HAS TO BE FORMATTED FAT32. It comes formatted FAT.
To get to bootloader, hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until tri-colour screen appears.
I know you are familiar with it but others who read this may not be.
Most people who say that it doesn't work have the one of the 2 things I mentioned set up wrong, mostly they don't format the sd card FAT32 as they assume its already formatted like that. I also found, on occsion, even though I had formatted the SD card \fat32 that it required formatting again.
Hope this helps.
Cheers...
Okay, so today I purchased a Hermes. While it'll take a while for it to arrive, I want to be prepared. And I certainly don't want a brick. So I'm pretty paranoid. That's why I'm asking, is the following procedure correct? (It's basically what I found here)
Download HardSPL
Download the ROM
If I have HardSPL (which I doubt), skip step 4
Install HardSPL
Sync and connect (with USB-cable) using WMDC*
When sync is finished, run RUUWrapper.exe
Follow the instructions (accept, next, accept, next, update)
Flash
Sync and connect (with USB-cable) using WMDC*
When sync is finished, run RUUWrapper.exe, the one shipped with the ROM
Click AutoDetect
Follow the instructions (accept, next, accept, next, update)
"Enjoy my updated device"
Download and install the .cab-files provided by Torben here. (Or should I change the registry?)
*I've read that there are some problems when syncing with Vista (which I, against my will, is stuck with), is this still present when using WMDC instead of ActiveSync?
Thank you for taking time helping a confused noob!
Mate, if you have a problem with using the PC, use the SD card method (must have Hard SPL V& installed - SPL - 2.10oli). To install Hard SPL using the Sd card method, go to page 116, post 1160 on the Hard SPL thread. It has links and the method to install hard SPL using the sd card method.
For ROM's use this method -
1. Format sd card (2Gb or less) FAT32.
2. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want onto sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh .Insert back into Hermes.
3 Put Hermes into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold ALL buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. If you have done everything right, follow the prompts.
Cheers...
But then I would have to buy an extra memorycard for the outragous prices of $7. But, I suppose I'll have to... Thanks for your reply!
Horrors......
Okay, I read the post. Very good! Just to make sure, I should not copy the RUUWrapper bundled with HardSPL? I add SSPL_HERM.exe and HERMIMG.nbh to the root of the newly formatted (FAT32) SD-card (not SDHC), run SPPL_HERM.exe from the phone, press the powerbutton when instructed to (to flash) and then reset the device somehow, once it's done. After that, follow the instructions here (phone connected to charger since it takes 30 min) and then all be fine?
(Yepp, I'm a pretty paranoid creature)
I just thought I'd reply to this message because I'm about to flash a custom Rom to a new iMate Jasjam and that my user id is errily similar to yours
I've used a 2GB Micro SD card to flash my last ROM upgrade (thanks to CRCinAU) and it worked a treat.
Cheers!
Oggy.
On my device (MDA Vario II) it stops at the bootloader screen (tricolor), and nothing happens.... but my device is not bricked, if i call softreset everything works, but i need hard spl to use an unlocker .... (which is also not working right now)
Did you run sspl.exe from the phone first?
You need to run this as it puts Soft SPL on so you can flash Hard SPL BUT you need to run it from the Hermes and not the sd card.
To get out of bootloader just reset with stylus.]
Also check that the sd card (2Gb or less) is formatted FAT32, comes formatted FAT by default.
Make sure you have renamed .nbh file to hermimg.nbh. Spelling matters...
Cheers...
jep done as instructed, still the same problem
What happens if it's not formatted FAT by default? If I can format a card as FAT32 but wasn't FAT originally, would it possibly brick it? (Not doing it (hopefully), just curious)
okay got it, cards broken, i think, used a new one
Doesn't matter if it was originally FAT32, most sd cards come formatted FAT by default, it has to be FAT32 or the flash WON"T work...
I flashed my SPL with DTF's HardSPL and I tried to flash a rom from my internal storage.
So I did put the leoimg.nbh in my MicroSD Card then boot + Volume Down, my screen goes for the SPL screen (3colours) then blink for ~1ms on which I think is a grey page then goes back to SPL page.
Any idea?
Solution from Djet:
you have to format your microSD in FAT32, I did it with my stock microSD and it worked. VolumeDown button before starting makes the device boot in UpdateMode (3color screen then gray screen asking to press PowerButton to update from leoimg.nbh or volumeDown to cancel).
thanks!
The grey screen is the one that asks you if you wish to go ahead with the update. I think you're just pressing the Volume button too long after getting to the SPL screen as VOL cancels the update and the power button updates, iirc...
Is your storage card a FAT16-formatted plain SD (non-SDHC)?

no, as I release the VOL button right when I start seeing the 3color screen, like 1s before the gray blink. I guess that it's the update screen that shows up but I want to know why it doesn't stay and if it is a bug from HSPL

It's the retail one (2Go) FAT 16 formatted
Same problem here, I tried flashing from two different SD card without success.
I tried even with gold card method, same results.
I think is relating with HSPL that I flashed 2 days ago.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
I've just realized the stock 2GB goldcard I used to flashing with HSPL is actually FAT32, not FAT16. You could try.

It worked. Today I bought a 2GB microSD (sandisk) card, I formatted to FAT 32 in Windows, I put .nbh from stock 1.43, and gray screen appeared with loading… etc, now i'm back to 1.42 again. Be careful when loading screen appear, remove the volume down button otherwise you will stuck in bootloader.
Thank you djet for your help.

I have the exact same problem but your suggested fix does not work.
I've tried several different sdcards and formatted using sdcard.org program, panasonic formatter, windows XP format to FAT32, Linux mkfs.vfat, mkfs.msdos, but I can't flash any LEOIMG.nbh file I try at all anymore.
I'm stuck as the USB connector on my phone has broken and I need to flash it back to stock to get it repaired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this sounds silly, but are you sure you are trying to flash an allowed ROM for your phone? My T-Mobile UK phone would not allow me to flash the HTC 1.66WWE ROM via SD Card, but it would with the 1.72 TMUK ROM.
Can you not format the microSD Card with the phone? Are you using the SD Card that origionally came with the phone, as 8+GB cards are known to cause problems.
like this problem
my phone is hd2 t-mobile from USA. problem is update progress is going to RADIO_V2-OK RCUST-OK BOOTLOADER-OK SPLASH1-OK. problem is OS and CINFIGDATA can not update.

Aaaah typical, it would be the one thing I didn't mention! There has been reported issues when using sd cards larger than 8GB (but I've managed to use 16GB cards before, which is why I didn't mention it). At least now you know what the problem was..
