Just got Hermes vodafone with German language and successfully loaded hardspl and have it in supercid. Now i want to upgrade to english version, but i keep getting error 260. PDA stays in RGB mode and saying USB. If i disconnect the cable it switches to Serial.
I have tried to update with
vodafone 1.20.161.6 aku 2.3
vodafone 2.07.161.1 aku 3.3
htc 1.35.255.102 aku 2.3
they all report the same. Have tried rebooting computer as said in wiki, but no success.
i now use original
HERM200
ROM 1.20.126.3
RADIO 1.16.00.0
any idea?
Thanks
Are you sure it is a supercid? Write the SPL, can you boot os?
Yes, i can boot os fine.
SPL-1.40.Olipro
IPL-1.01
I did supercid procedure with success....at least i thoughts so. It's my fist upgrade, so anything is possible. I used HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a
Thanks
I have the same problem with my second-hand JASJAM. The only way I can flash ROMs on my phone is by using RUUWrapper and select force SSPL and this always works well.
COME ON people!!!
A simple search would have remedied this...its been a topic so many times now!
The reason the official RUUs wont work correctly is because of the fact that HardSPL has been loaded, hence the SPL version isnt recognised, you gotta flash the official .nbh file using CustomRUU.
But first update to the latest version of HardSPL (see the sticky thread).
When you run the customRUU program select your SPL version (or use autodetect) and off you go!.
EDIT:: to get you started, Hardspl is HERE.....flash it.
then open the RUU with winzip or winrar and copy over the .nbh file into a folder.
download CUSTOMRUU.....run it from that folder with your device synced over activesync....select your SPL and voila.
Silly fella's. Its alright though I used to make the same mistake. I think im better friends with the search feature on here than I am with my real friends. You can always rely on the the WIKI or the search.
Thanks for help mrvanx i manage to flash with no problems now.
Promise to read more wiki next time
My problem was the same described in this post (too recent SPL).
I similar problem only difference is now phone wont go out of boot mode as its not recognised by active syn or in the rom update procedure.
Please help urgently cannot restore phone...and i dont know how
If you have Hard SPl V7 installed, try to re-install the rom, or a different one using the sd card method.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file onto it. Rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into Hermies and reset into bootloader, hold power, OK button under flywheel and reset with stylus hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour (bootloader) screen.
3. Follow onscreen instructions...
Cheers...
On an XP Pro box running activesync 4.5 I cannot update my 8525. I have done the thing on post 1160 page 116 and it now says I have IPL-SSPL by DES and SPL-1.09.ds. I have also tried the Hard SPL V7 and I got the same results. I have installed the latest .net 3.5 and I get the same thing everytime. As soon as the installation gets to the point where you see the progress bar my 8525 goes blank and looses the connection. I was able to update to the OEM 6.1 upgrade but still not able to get Schaps to install. Any ideas? I am going to try it on another PC and see what happens.
If you have Hard SPL installed, don't bother with running SSPL.exe on your hermes. Just put the .nbh file on your sd card & rename to hermimg.nbh. Go to bootloader with sd card inserted & it should automatically load.
IPL-SSPL by DES and SPL-1.09.ds - soft SPL... not as safe as Hard SPL...
My suggestion, follow the steps from post 1160 page 116 again with Hard SPL then try Schapps Skipping
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
(make sure to put the sd card into your Hermes of course).
This should work...
Cheers...
OK, I have the hard SPL installed and the same thing still happened, as soon as I get to the option to update the phone and the page comes up showing the status bar my device goes into sleep mode and disconnects from activsync. Just for fun I gave it the three finger solute and it started updating the phone. Then I got a message saying that Schaps 4.30 is not compatible with this phone Error 244 Invalid Model ID. If Schaps 4.01 worked on it, why wouldn't 4.30?
Thanks again for your help.
Sim Unlock your phone then... Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Then make sure you Hard SPL your phone again... USE THE SD CARD METHOD (directions in previous post)...
Would then try installing Schapps 4.30 using Sd card method too.. Don't forget to skip steps 5 & 6 when updating os...
Cheers...
hi,
I have One Herm 100 Imate Jasjam.It came to me for the repair,i searched and found the solution in the forum.The device has no IMEI and No Gsm and booting properly but no network.So i follow this thread "How to unbrick your bricked hermes" Link is http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
and found that the solution from the given Table after answering the all the questions,so the solution is (1.) Flash Hard-SPL (2.)Flash any radio in NBH format.Do both steps using SSPL+ActiveSync.
i could succesfully Flash the Hard-SPL.Now i put the Phone is bootlaoder mode i can see that the HERM100 IPL-1.04 and HERM100 SPL-2.10.Olipro.
But when i am performing the second step that is "Flash any radio in NBH format.Do both steps using SSPL+ActiveSync" (i downloaded the Hermes_Radio_1.50.00.00_108) from the support and trying to upgrade the radio but it always starts and stuck at updating 0% and not moving further and an error message popping up saying error 260 and 262.I read the read me and followed all the instructions but all the time i am getting the same error.
So please guide me what to do?
Waiting for replies from all the PDA Guru'S.
Regards,
Moderate.
If you had of read you might have found this is a problem with VERY low probability of you fixing it....
So saying, try the sd card method, You have Hard SPL on the phone, do this....
1. Format an sd card fat32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh on it. Rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card and put Hermes into bootloader - Hold down power, OK button above flywheel and then use stylus to reset... Hold all three in until you get to the tri-colour screen A.K.A bootloader.
3. It should recognise the herm flash file so follow the prompts...
If the Radio only rom doesn't work you can try a stock rom... Best if you try the carrier rom it was initially.
If that doesn't work, at least you have a nice PDA.....
Good Luck, you're gonna need it...
Cheers...

Congratulations! You now have a Hermes PDA
I have something like this now
I tried flashing CRC13 via USB
at about 92% it failed. It attempted to recover and failed again.
I used a 1gb lexar MicroSD, copied the CRC rom's RUU_Signed.nbh to the card as HERMIMG.nbh
reset holding Power and OK buttons.
It flashed 000680002 and went back to the tricolor screen
Herm100
IPL-1.04
Herm100
SPL-2.03
I'm trying the KITL method from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES
Any other suggestions?
If I let it attempt to boot normally, the CRC splash screen comes up, then brightens for a second, then goes blank. The charge indicator will respond to power, and the USB will make the PC "bu-bumb" but AS will not connect, explorer will not see it, and RUU_Wrapper will not detect it
Thank god... I DL'ed a factory OS, extracted it and ran the RUU_Wrapper and that did install
then installed CRC13 naked
All is well
Radimus, HARD SPL YOUR PHONE.... You were EXTREMELY lucky... If you are thinking about reflashing your phone you need Hard SPL ver 7 installed... It won't guarantee you won't brick your phone but will offer a safety net so you may be able to fix it.
Cheers...
for some reason the hardspl7 will not install via AS for me...
Is it OK to do it via sd card using SSPL-HERM.exe
Yep, thats actually my preferred method of flashing. Check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You can also flash Os'es with the sd card method. Once you've Hard SPLed your Hermes you won't need to use sspl.exe but make sure your battery is more than 50%.
I personally wouldn't flash the radio rom from the pc as there are too many things that can go wrong. SD card all the way...
Cheers...
done.

I had that problem and few more with my Hermes.
While it didn't help me, this suggestion by ultramag69 may help you...
Use the sd card method to flash a new rom, instead of a USB cable/Windows computer.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Hope this helps!
Just one other thing summoner, make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. Otherwise the ONLY rom I'd try flashing like that is the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. Its so the CID will be recognised and won't cause a brick.
rmorera84, unless you've installed Hard SPL V7 then find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM and flash that, anything else may permanently brick your Hermes.
If you have Hard SPL V7 (IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 oli) then flash what you like...
Cheers...
- Installed latested Orange rom, that I know of - SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007
- installed Hard SPL 7 & applied SIM unlock/super CID
- re-installed TNT TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
The result is:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose I should upgrading the radio rom now!?
I am told don't try fixing what isn't broken - and it is working. 3G iNet, Phone, WiFi, BT - all good atm.
Or is there a particular update I should still install?
Thanks!
SUMM0NER, you're using an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL. The Hermes is downgraded to SPL 1.40 when you sim/CID unlock your phone. Best idea would be to re-install Hard SPL V7. Its a later version that seems less prone to problems when flashing.
Go back to the Hard SPL thread and get Hard SPL V7. I had the same thing happen to me when I unlocked the Hermes, nearly cost me my handset.
The steps are unlock Hermes, Install Hard SPL then upgrade OS.
Cheers...
Do I need to re-apply the OS rom file?
I just reinstalled Hard SPL7, now shows as IPL-104, SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Thanks!
My hermes only work whit this rom:Schaps_WM6Pro_ESN_3.54b-0808_Full
Because whit any other rom they stuck at 11%.
This is the info or the phone:
IPL-1.01
Spl-1.40.Olipro
Whit the first rom the htc boot but the phone funtion don´t work.
rmorera84, refer to my last post.
SUMM0NER, no. You have loaded the os, the reason you put Hard SPL V7 is if you want to upgrade the radio rom (not a good idea unless you are experiencing problems) or wish to change the os. Just means recovery is easier than if you didn't have it.
Cheers...
Many thanks ultramag69.
rmorera84 what branding is your Hermes (ie: Orange M3100, T-Mobile Vario 2, Vodeaphone V1605 etc...)?
Can I assume your Hermes is working right now?
If it is download and install HardSPL V.7 (attached to the bottom of the first post!)
Ones done verify that it installed correctly by holding the OK & Power button and pushing reset for a sec. The screen should display the coloured bars and say towards the centre: SPL-2.10.Olipro
It´s Cingular 8525, i could install the HardSPL V.7, now what rom i can flash??
You didn't confirm if it is working right now!?
If it is not working, try one of the official WM5 Cingular roms from this list. If that worked apply HardSPL 7 and take it from there.
Ones you downloaded the Cingular rom update you will have to keep unpacking the .exe files until you come to the actual .NBH file (WinRAR works for me).
Then follow ultramag69's instructions on flashing the rom via memory card.
Works, now i have this info:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I download the official Cingular WM5 rom, but. i don´t know how install this rom by memory card, could you help me??
Excellent!
Try downgrading to the Cingular rom via USB. Just double click the EXE and follow the instructions.
To use the memory card method follow these steps...
0. unpack the .exe file containing the rom with Winrar (right-click exe then choose "Extract to...\")
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
The reason to use the memory card to upgrade a rom, rather than a usb cable, is to cut down on failed upgrades (dodgy Windows/usb port/usb cable/etc..).
All working? Try upgrading to a Hermes rom that didn't work previously.
Any rom you can find in the Hermes section. Go to the WM06 part of the forum, theres a sticky at the top with about 50 older roms and you'll find other roms there too (latest is wm6.5).
Cheers...
i install the official WM5 AT-T version the WM6 AT-T, but, i still whit the no-gsm problem, can i flash i radio? or what i can do??
You may not be able to fix this, if you know what the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM was and can find it, then flash that. It may not work, if it gets stuck at 11% - 17% mark it means the radio ROM is stuffed and the memory area is corrupted. Not fixable.
You could also try, if you know what it is, the original radio rom by itself. Again, if you can't get it to work, you have a PDA but won't work as a phone ever again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Im to having the same problem, it keeps going back to the 2.1.Olipro boot loader.
I tried the memory card option and it starts to install but then stops.
Does anyone have and sugestions?
Cheers

Hi, I got my Hermes 8525 in boot mode what i did is to install this Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full.exe now my hermes is working but i want to unlock it..what can I do cos everytime i try got in to boot mode again..any help tks.,..
Hello!
To begin, forgive my uncertain English!
I had recently a Htc Diamond, but I've lost it, I want now use my old HTC TyTN, but I am a little lost in all versions of Hard Spl, I have first unsimlocked and uncidlocked the phone with this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
What do I do to install a new rom with WM 6.1, and what are the Roms advised at this time?
Thank you in advance, and please forgive me, I have a little trouble to go the forum in English, so I am really lost!
ROM: 1.23.163.5
Date: 06/18/06
Radio 1.16.00.00
Protocol: 32.53.7018.01H
Update the Hermes with Hard SPL V7 - should read IPL - 1.04 & SPL - 2.10oli when finished update and go to the tri-colour screen.
After that go to the WM06 part of the Hermes forum. You'll find a sticky with some older ROMs and a heap of newer ones in production.
As you've now got Hard SPL V7 on you can use the sd card method to install roms.
backup the sd card 1st.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file(rom you want) on it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. insert sd card back into Hermes and boot to tri-colour screen.
3. As long as you did everything right, follow the prompts. reset with stylus if nothing happens and check sd card is formatted right and .nbh is named right.
Cheers...
Ok to the Hard SPL, with the Hard SPL V7, it took less than a second, then soft reset automatically.
How do I check that it is hard-spl to avoid a crash? (How am I going to tri-color screen? He has done it alone ..)
So thank you for the little tutorial, I think now install the V8 b2 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421337
Other recommendations?
Thank you again!
Hold power button, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until you get to the tri-colour screen. It should display IPL - 1.04 & SPL - 2.10oli.
This means SPL upgrade was a success...
Cheers...
Yeeessss! So cool! : D I can test new ROM now ... A preference for one of them? (I do not know of any developers to Hermes, then to find a good rom in english ...)
By against, I don't have access to the Internet by my operator, how to configure connections for Bouygues Telecom? (French network ..)
Thank goodness you're here!
Go to the wm06 part of the Hermes forum for roms. Look for one that has a network setup wizard and make sure it either has or you install Arcsoft mms composer before runniong the network setup wizard. Should install settings for mms on the Hermes.
Read the discriptions of the roms by the chefs as they tell you about everything in he rom, its up to you to decide whats best...
Cheers...
You can get French ROMs as well...write it in the search bar
