HTC Hermes upgrade help pls - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

hi everybody...i'm new on this forum and i don't have any experience with flashing roms...i have a Hermes with windows mobile 6 that doesn't want to go along with the upgrades(SPL for start).I read a lot of tutorials but no luck..booted the phone in bootloader mode:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.40.Olipro
i'm not the first owner of the phone...it runs well but i'd like to put wm 6.1 on it.
i have tried to hard spl, my phone resets in bootloader mode...the pc recognizes it but after 2-3 minutes it gives me an error( error 260)...
I am currently using windows vista ultimate 32-bit...please give me a hand guys...thanks in advance

please start reading here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
best way to flash is from the SD Card:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing

thanks alot for the response but i am aware of the procedure...i was thinking of trying to flash the rom directly without hard spl...i know it's not recommended...if someone could help me with the error i get i'l apreciate it...
just wondering...could i flash a windows mobile 6.1 rom using the sd card method without doing hard spl (using the spl i have now: 1.40 Olipro) ?

for the SD card method you need HardSPL v7... you will have to flash it... not much else anyone could do with it.

thanks for the posts guys..from my last post i've flashed a f ew roms on my hermes without any problems..istil have spl 1.40..i guess the risk of bricking my device is bigger..i'm now lookIng for a clean 6.1 rom..without any preinstalled aps and crap i dont use...a recommandation would be nice

Did you also read the wiki to see how to install hardspl to protect your device BEFORE flashing ?(here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )? Are you using Olipro hardspl?
Try to use the SDCARD method (Format a sdcard in FAT32. Copy the nbh file on it and rename it HERMIMG.NBH. Insert the card and HR : OK/POWER/Soft reset. Follow the instructions)
i tested that but didn't help
does anybody have any suggestion??
Try solution to reeboot ( sometimes helps)
1. get out SIM and SD card
get mtty http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9864
2. Make BL mode on Hermes
2a on PC ActiveSync - coonection properties untick allow to connect by USB
3. start mtty on PC , choose USB and enter.
4. next enter.
5. type set 14 and enter
6. type task 8 and enter
OS have to boot if no go to 7
7. enter
8 type set 16 and enter
9. type task 8 and enter
Hope that will boot
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Pretty much all the info on unbricking is in this table by Pof. If this doesn't sort you out then you're have to send it off to imeicheck etc for repair.
The history so far
I have bricked my jasjam while updating to telstra wm6
I have not super CID my device before upgrading to telstra wm6
Now my device freezed at second splash screen
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
NO GSM
when i used the info 6 command on mtty it says NO CID
i can not upgrade my device from SD CARD (memory stick)
i used these command on MTTY.exe but no improvement
set 14
task 8
set 16
task 8
when i tried to rom upgrade using any ruu (ruuwraper,.....) it only shows 1% and my device reboots and ....
any suggestions????
I hope you understand this, Basically if
1. You have a "No GSM"
2. Your CID is corrupted
3. Your OS has no KITL mode
4. You didn't use HARDSPL...
Then your phone is screwed, and you need to buy a new one or send it to repair.
Hope you have better luck with your next phone. (you seem to be collecting bricked phones!)

The offical I-mate telstra Jasjam rom for WM6 came out recently previous to that i just kept the original WM5 rom that it came with much to the dismay of my peers, actually considered it a few times but decided against it till the official rom came out.
yeah if you follow the instructions for the WM6 rom you use it should be ok however the "Murphys law" of programming tends to suggest there will always be an error that they dont allow for.

This has NOTHING to do with only using official Roms! One has pretty much the same chance of bricking their phone evening using an official WM6 as a cooked variant from Schaps et al..
Simply put if you don't use HardSPL then you're asking for trouble no matter what the ROM. You should also use the MicroSD wherever possible as it is much more reliable.
imei check use jtag to fix this

You might need to reflash it. Hold the two soft keys and then push the reset button. it will ask to hard reset. If the phone fails to come on after the hard reset, then hold the left 'ok' key and the power button, and then push the reset under the phone- this will take you to a tricolor screen where you can then re-flash the phone. try reflashing with official rom's, before using any other roms.
yes i do but it still in boot any sugest ipl 1.01 spl 1.40 olipro if any know how to update ipl with hard spl or how to remove hard spl it will be aprecible
My suggestion would be to try using sd to reflash the rom and see if that orks. format sd card making sure its fat 32 then put .nbh file in root directory. rename to herimg.nbh then insert into phone. go to bootloader and it should start the flash straight away. if this works make sure you upgrade spl to olipro 2.10 hard spl so its easier if there are problems. you can possibly upgrade spl this way too (get nbh file and rename hermimg.nbh). I tried this on my herme 100 and it seemed to work. it will flash the spl BUT when it restarts it will go straight to bootloader and start flashing again. as soon as it restarts get the sd card out and put on the os you want to flash. insert card and as long as you've named it hermimg.nbh it should flash new os with spl olipro 2.10. Good luck flashing.
You should read the wiki first : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
your phone can be unbricked using the information on wiki.
only enter to bootloader the ipl dosent start also i fla**** but it stil apear spl.140oli whei in flash it with hard spl 1.10 and when i flash it with spl 2.60 oli it send me a error i try to flash it with qtek-cingular-doppod roms and nothing any suggest

PLEASE HELP! My Athena is dead after Olipro Unlocker

Help please!
I have an T-Mobile Ameo (also known Athena X7500) and i tried the Olipro Unlocker, but the installation didnt finish, at 59% stopped. After that i turn off the device, then turn on, but my device still have a 4 colour screen,red, green, blue and white, it doesnt boot the Windows Mobile, just have the installation screen...
please help
Use olipro's tool again and then flash your final ROM
i tried it many times, but since than my Athena X7500 was dead, the Olipros unlocker doesnt work. The program said: "The Update Utility cannot connect your PDA phone"
In bootloader (coloured screen), does it say anything? if so what? when you try to flash a rom or use unlocker do you get a code? is your memory card out of the slot?
I took a photo my bootloader (coloured) screen:
http://kepfeltoltes.pirateclub.hu/pics/20090106317.jpg My device doesnt say anything.
When i used the unlocker, i didnt got any code. And my memory card was in the slot.
I also took a photo what the Olipro's said now, if i try to continous the flashing:
http://kepfeltoltes.pirateclub.hu/pics/20090106319.jpg
Have you tried flashing your carrier's original Rom?
i will try it, but i dont know where can i find my original rom...
and my second biggest trouble: in this mode, i cant charge my batteries. If i dont find an solution this problem soon, i think, my device will be a BIG trouble. Grrr, i hate olipros program...
Thanks a lot, my athena is live again, i flash my original rom!!!
But the Olipros Unlockert isnt working, the installation go to 100%, the program said that the flashing is succesfull, but my SPL is still 1.1, and i cant flash any roms..
I can understand why. Any ideas?
The other thread was closed, you shouldn't double post.
Read the links I mentioned.
as in olis first post
"Please note: you must have .net Framework 2.0 installed with the services packs, if you don't it then it probably won't run till you download it.
SPECIAL INFO ABOUT STEP 2: When you run this step, first your device will be flashed; this is NOT the end of Step 2, you must then configure your device and set it up fully so you can access the menus etc (there will be a prompt to ask you to do this after the flash anyway). then you will be able to continue. please make sure to read ALL dialogs fully"
leave out the sim and sd card.
Some others have reported better luck with the shipped WM6 rom if they had trouble unlocking.
I installed the NET Framework 2.0 SP2 in my device and i put out my sim and sd card. And when i flashing the Olipros Unlocker, it went to 100%, but my SPL is still 1.1
I dont understand.

the net framework should be on your computer.
what OS is on your computer ?
May be better if you use winXP
did you install an oficial wm6 rom ?
Read the later pages in the unlocker thread
My computer also have the NET Framework 2.0 SP2. And when the flashing didn't work, i also installed the NET Framework 3.5 SP1, but, when i flashing a ROM in my decive, it also went to 100%, but the SPL is still 1.1.
I use a 32-bit Windows XP in my computer.
My T-Mobile Ameo (Athena) is a second hand device, it was used when i bought. But the first user said me, that the original OS was the Windows Mobile 5 in my Athena, but he update from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6.0. He said that he update with an official T-Mobile way.
Ok all good so far
Did you use the unlocker from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
The other thought i had was that you should try a different computer and usb cable
oh, thank you so mutch, i tried an another computer, and it flashed the SPL from 1.1 to 1.2!
thanks again

iMate JASJAM dies when trying to flash it with Hard SPL V7

I got an iMate JASJAM from my father awhile back - a great hand-me-down if you ask me!
It's currently running Windows Mobile 5 w/ default just about everything.
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.11
Anyway, onto my problem.
I'm using the Hard SPL upgrade files found in Olipro's thread.
I run it and it works up until I select "Yes" on my device.
It then reboots into the bootloader and just sits there and does nothing until finally the installer throws an error 260.
Anyone else had this problem?
Is there a simple fix?
If it makes any difference, I've got a Mini-SD card in it. 512mb.
Go to the Hard SPL thread, page 116, post 1160. It tells you (and gives all apps needed) how to install using the SD card... Gets rid of those pesky sync problems.
You can use the sad card method to upgrade your os too, just drop the steps using sspl.exe....
Cheers...

i got your problem on my i-mate jasjam too,
have u solve the problem yet?
i face the same problem
Well I flashed maybe 30 HTC Tytn PDA`s (I work in service) and never bricked any... I never putted cooked roms,bcs this roms are stupid.And a lot of cooked roms use much more ram and many of them have simple appcliations,which you can to install alone... So,my advice for peoples : Use official Win Mobile 6 rom from HTC ftp server.You can find links in this forum also...And yeah I dont need HARD SPL for official... never bricked.
Depends slaki85 if the Hermes has been Branded... For example, I have the Telstra rom on my Jasjam, if I tried to put the HTC official rom onto it, I'd have a brick... The carrier rom prevents me putting any other rom on it other than theirs.... And it ALWAYS has a heap of bloatware.
You also can't put wm6.5 on...
Hard SPL allows me to put other roms, cooke or official, that I can't put on without ending up with a brick.
As for the guys who can't put Hard SPL on, use the sd card method as I said before. Its easier, means there's less chance of a brick and takes 2 secs...

Yeah,you are in right with 6.5 WinMo...I really tryed before Win 6.5,and expect few visual changes,he dont have anything new..With 6.5 or 6.5 + Manilla-TouchFLo,TyTN is very slow...what to say about ram memory...sometimes and 15 MB more busy...I understand that peoples always will put new rooms,I only dont understand why peoples risk...Expect if some win dont have some big changes.byw if someone want to put official HTC 6.0 rom,I tryed many times with 100% sucess in HTC TyTN and SPV M3100 (also TyTN but from postpaid Operators)..
I also agree that is HARD SPL good sometimes.I only dont understand why peoples change roms... : P especially custom roms...(few apps more and speed,ram slower...).But probablly I am subjective : )
Again, if you have a carrier rom they tend to overload it with bloatware, software and apps that use their sites. It tends to slow down the hermes and, truth be told, I've started with less than 15Mb ram using the stock rom... When you have that happen, cooked roms are a much better alternative. Also, if you use the apps cooked in it means you don't have to hunt down the cabs yourself....
Much easier....

Cant Install HardSplv7 on Herm200

Hi,
My herm 200 ,swisscom, has IPL1.01 and SPL 1.4Olipro. But always when I try to install Hardspl v7 it give me error 262 and only 0%.
Can someoone help me what to do because I want to flash new rom and new radio rom trough my SD card.
Thnx
i would suggest reading this wiki page which might help you with that error. A recent thread that had a error with flashing hard spl here may help you although it is for a different error, you may still get some ideas on how to fix it.
Hope this helps and Good luck
I did read everything but with no success. always error 262. I have Win XP SP3 with framework 3.5 but I dont think that would be a problem for this error.
Have you tried putting the Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker on your hermes as this may be the problem or have you tried flashing it using the sd card method.
Go to page 116, post 1160 of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 . It will tell you how and supply ALL the apps so you can use the sd card... Easier and safer...
Cheers...
is it the same procedure to put a new OS Rom through the SD card? After flashing to Hardspl v7.
P.S. it is super CID because I checked with mtty.
