I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...
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

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
I have been upgrading my Hima for years, trying all the different roms here and in buzzdev.net.
But lately I've been having problems with the rom upgrade process.
In my last two updates I needed to repeat the process many times to have success.
When I put the device in bootloader mode, and put it in the craddle, it stays in Serial, instead of changing in the screen to USB most of the times. After restarting the device and putting it into bootloader mode for 3 or 4 times, it finally says USB.
But even after changing to USB, when I run the upgrade utility it hangs there many times.
I thought it might be a cable problem, but it must be a weird one, because activesync works perfect in normal mode.
I have tried to do it from another computer with same results.
Now I want to try the new Ather WM 6.1 Diamond Edition, but I have been trying for hours without success. Most of the times it stays in Serial, and when it finally changes to usb, the upgrade program hangs with the screen "Checking the information on your PocketPC. Please wait" and I wait for a long time without results.
Any help please??
could be a bad connector
Thanks for the answer!
Finally I got it updated, but only after many many tries.
hey guys, im having major issues with my HTC HD2.
I have upgraded my rom previously and it worked fine. i just did the telstra one off the htc website.
STATS:
os version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manila version: 2.5.20121431.1
ROM version: 1.72.841.0 (82124) WWE
ROM DATE: 02/23/10
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
protocol version: 15.32.50.07U
I am now tryign to upgrade once more because im having software issues with my current set-up, hoping a rom upgrade will solve it. but, i cant upgrade my rom! i am using CustomRUU.exe as the host program for running the .nbh files. i have tried artemis's latest rom, radio uprgrades, andriod ports, maxsense cooked roms, everything! and i cant get it to get past this screen.
so the issue. i hook up my HTC HD2 to my computer connect via activesync, i then drag the chosen .nbh file on to CustomRUU.exe and run the file and the rom upgrade, im doing everything they say and my htc is hooked to the computer with the arrow things confirming. i do the acceptance steps, and it gets to the progress bar and sits a 0% (on my laptop) while my HD2 works through it.
it goes to the red green blue screen, says USB down the bottom, goes black and displays a HTC loading screen with a progess bar at 0%
this is where the issue is.
it stays at 0% for about 5-10 minutes, on BOTH the hd2 and the laptop, than the computer gives me an error code [262] : UPDATE ERROR...(i am aware that this is a connection error and should resolve with restarting for the computer and the device and a new usb port used)... but this has not solved my problem. as soon as my HD2 restarts and goes to the red green blue screen i lose connection with the computer and it times out. My HD2 just loads the htc progress bar screen and does nothing
i dont even get 1%!!!!
i have tried installing HSPL but it says i need sspl 1.42.000 (i think), so when i try to install that via a rom or whateva it is, it gives me the no connection freezing issue.
im stuck in a violent circle and get get past this issue.
basically, the rom uprgrade wont work because my device is apparently disconnected form the computer and the install times out.
someone please help! PLEASE!
im sorry if this is a simply fix and im being a noob, but i just am stuck real bad!
thanks in advance guys

Changing to a customized ROM is very different from upgrading through HTC website , and it starts by installing HSPL on your phone..
you should start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
but its probably easier to resolve your current "SW issues" than installing a customized suitable ROM for you at this stage.. so why dont you post what the SW issue is instead.. (unless your phone does not boot at all now..)

just quickly, sw issues?

software issues = SW issues
Depending on what your Software problems are you could try to post them and try to solve it.
The fastest ways is to install the right HSPL you can use the link in the post of "ugguggh" which has a good manual about how all works. You also can read through the 1st two posts in de threat displayed below. Here you cna find which HSPL you need for your version.
CLICK HERE!
After installing the right HSPL its just a matter of choosing your desired ROM and install it.
I'm currently working with the Artimis V27 ROM NL and i'm not experiencing any problems it runs very smooth. Just format your SD card and try to download Task29. First run "Task29" before installing the ROM. It cleans up old stuff from your old ROM install. After Task29 finished press volume down before it reboots your phone so you enter the bootloader. Now you can start the CustomRuu application and install your desired rom. (if you enter a blanc HTC screen after Task29 (thats normal because there is no OS to load anymore) just remove the battery and hold volume down while putting the battery back or using the power on button)

use a usb port around back of the pc, not in the front case.
the 'you need 1.42.0000...' is wrong, its old info. Use hspl3 and choose 2.08.hspl

hey guys thankyou for all ur help, i downloaded hspl3 and it worked and i have tested a few different roms,, and i installed Miri_HD2_WM65_21908_Sense25_V17.0_WithSwype, which is working quite well right now and i am pretty damn happy with it so far.
i installed S2U2 and since then it started to play up a lil..
the issues are that in general the whole entire system is slow. not neccesarilly windows but sense... :\
messages are sometimes unusable, frozen very laggy, and occasionally needs a soft reset. phones is unusable, can make calls, just cant hear dialtone, microphone sender and recevier isnt working, NO SOUND! shortcut calender viewer on the sense homescreen takes mins to hours to load appointments and sometimes doesnt for days. and in saying sometimes is lightning quick...???
besides that i am not experiencing many other issues YET...i will have to wait a few more days. though i would really like a solution to the phone issue if that is possible
would love to beable to use a android port (a very good, everyday use version), and if anyone has any info on it, would u beable to post some for me please
i have tried haret and it wont work. i load clrcad then haret it runs through the first stuff, then the screen starts to fad and i get lines on the left then it slowly goes black and nothing happens. requires a soft reset to get the phone working again..
I AM JUST FULL OF ISSUES! sorry guys
anyways thankyou EVERYONE for all your help u have been great so far
thanx

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC HD2, thing is that the phone it's not booting correctly, all i got when i power on the device, it's an emty white screen... without the green HTC letters.
I got installed a cooked ROM, BsB Beast 6.1, with radio 2.12.50.02_2, and i was running Android from SD when all this **** started, two weeks ago. The phone battery ran out while i was on Android, a couple of hours later... i got home and plugged the phone for charging. When i pressed the power button, the phone boots with that blank screen.
I can get into the bootloader, and it's showing this info (whitout the underscores):
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
_____________0x05
_____________0x30
CotullaHSPL
I've tried many different things and none seems to do anything at all:
- First of all, i did a hard reset. The process ends OK but the phone stays doing the same
- Then, i tried to flash again the same ROM i was using. I was unable to do that by using CustomRUU and PC connection. The phone it's detected by the PC, and the bootloader screen shows that it's conneted by "USB". Then, i executed the CustomRUU app, following all the steps and, when the phone should start flashing the progress bar doesn't get past 0%, both the phone display and PC. After a few minutes, CustomRUU gives an error saying "timeout" connection. I've tried to do this from different USB ports and different PCs with the same result.
- After those fails, i tried to flash again the cooked rom from SDCARD. The process ends OK, saying "Update Complete". Then, i rebooted the phone but the blank screen remains the same way. That cooked ROM doesn't have radio.
- After that, i decided to flash a stock ROM. First, i tried to make a "Task 29" to the phone, but i got the same problem than with the cooked ROM. The progress bar doesn't get past 0%. With the stock ROM the problem was the same again. Then, i tried to flash the stock ROM from SDCARD. The process stops at X% saying 0018003 RADIO - FAIL. I've got this error each time i try to flash a ROM with radio or a radio itself.
- I was able to do a "task 29" by using MTTY, but nothing changes when i try to flash any ROM after that.
- i've tried to upgrade my HSPL, by using both HSPL2 and HSPL3. Both programs detects my version of HSPL, then the process starts and ends saying "Succesfully done" but nothing changes in my bootloader, it's still saying that i got 1.42.HSPL
Since i can get to the bootloader, i hope to have any chance to get this device back to life.
I've readed some posts here and within other forums, i've tried with many different cooked or stock ROMS but nothing works
I hope to find help here, thanks in advance and, sorry if my speaking it's not 100% correct
yet another "i was running android and...........now my phone won't boot".. thread. makes me glad i don't bother with android...tried it once and had to hard reset, never touched it since, heh.
for the sticking at 0%,and timeouts etc, try and always enter bootloader yourself, then wait for serial to become usb, and then run customruu. this way you can also visually confirm hspl is there(or not there, depending what you are doing) and it should cure certainly the timeouts.
if i were you, i'd concentrate on getting back to stock, and start over.(only skimmed your post, i'm mobile, so sorry if i say something you already did.)
get into bootloader, get rid of hspl if it s there,(run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000) then back into bootloader(you should soon get used to holding vol down as each stage completes to reenter bootloader) then try flash your CORRECT stock rom via usb. if that fails try it using the sd card method.
Thanks for answering, samsamuel.
I haven't looked into the Android section for threads with the same problem i got, maybe i should have started that way
Each time I enter the bootloader, i'm doing as you've said (believe me... in these days i've become a "master" on pushing power button with vol. down )
I always wait for the bootloader to finish loading, then i plug the phone to my PC, wait again for "Serial" turns into "USB" and, then, start the flashing process.
I'll try to do what you said with HSPL2, to select 1.66.000. Each time i've tried with different HSPLs, i've selected 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL... so, i guess i should try with that.
I'll be updating this thread as soon as i got news.
/me edit
I must to say, that Android was running "fine" (some minor problems when trying to wake up the phone, but nothing critical apart from this disaster). By the record, i didn't have installed dual boot... the phone always boots into WinMo
Hi again,
I have tried to update my SPL to 1.66.000 without success, despite what HSPL2 says ("Succesfully done")
Any thought about this? I can't understand why those programs are saying "OK" but are doing nothing
thanks in advance
not seen it first hand but have read several threads where the update seems to work but nothing changes. not really sure as to cause or cure, sorry.
I wonder if is there a way to make HSPL2 / HSPL3 to leave traces or any log of what they are doing... in order to see why my phone is ignoring them
Little bump, looking for more help
Is this the right subforum to post this things?
