Hello All,
I've scoured the forums as best I can and can't seem to find a resolution.
I have an HTC Touch Dual, NEON 300.
R 1.65.20.19
G 25.86.40.04H
D 2.21
Bootloader screen shows this:
NEON300
SPL-0.95.0000
CPLD-3
I have downloaded the following programs so far throughout my research here:
MTTY
SnoopyPro
Tiny Hexer
Hard SPL for the Neon
The basic problem is that the phone will not boot past the Smart Mobility page. I've tried hard resetting it, resetting it while in bootloader, hard resetting while in bootloader. Nothing works.
SO...I finally tracked down the ROM I need to flash this phone:
EON300_WWE_2.21.422.04_Stock_Rebuild.rar
However, I cannot load this ROM to the phone because Hard SPL cannot detect the phone. I already used SnoopyPro to find reinstall the USB drivers by following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379318
MTTY doesnt really detect the phone...When I follow the instructions on the above link, this is as far as I can get:
Cmd>password BsaD5SeoA
Pass.
HTCST IÚÈÒHTCE
Cmd>ruurun 0
Command error !!!
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDevInfo: Get CID OK
HTCSNEON3000HTCE
Cmd>RestartDevice
The phone DOES restart when I ask it do, and MTTY DOES get the device information BUT it DOESNT give me much more than that. Also I should note that Windows XP does recognize the device somehow, as in device manager it shows up as 'Windows CE Microsoft USB Device'.
BOTTOM LINE:
I need to know a way to install the ROM I have into this HTC Touch Dual (NEON 300) while in Bootloader mode....
THANKS!!
I'm in the same problem...
Anyone knows how to change the rom, in fact im looking for a spanish rom...
Thanks for all.....
*Bump*
Same problem here with a Neon300.. Anyone have a resolution?
Thanks in advance!
As an aside, I've breathed new life into my Hermes Phone with VP's 6.1 rom. Awesome work, man!!
EASY

Sorry About My English.
1) Press ON/OFF Button + Camera Button (at same time, for few seconds)
2) wait for 3 Color Screen. and connect USB
3) them install: ROM NEON300_WWE_2.21.422.04_Stock_Rebuild
i have the same htc touch dual n i want good rom and hard spl for it so pleeez help with links thanx in advance

Ok I have searched the forums pretty hard the last couple of days, and I have not found anyone that has the same issue as mine. It's not too big of a deal as everything operates but it is an issue all the same. This is all of course after I have succesfully ran HARD SPL v7 and upgraded to Black 3.0.1. Basically I decided to use POF's SuperCid Unlocker 3a (yes I know if I had HARD SPL 7 then why go through the trouble of Unlocking my CID, let's call it a need to mess with things) and everything went succesful. Then after the fact I read that it is still good even if you have SuperCID to upgrade the SPL to 2.10 and have read some peoples signatures and it appears that they have succesfully done this. Here is my issue;
When I run the CustomRUU it autodetects my SPL no problems, HARD-SPL? is checked, everything seems to go fine until it gets to the boot loader, once it is there, the progress bar pops up, zings to 100% and then reboots, cool? no because it didn't actually upgrade anything everything is still the same. Ok, so I tried the format SD card and rename *.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and put only it on the card, when I go to bootloader it does a quick flash to the screen like it recognizes the image but then goes to boot loader and nothing changes (the flash is so quick I can't even read whatever message it may be showing). I have tried pretty much every flashing method I can come across. MTTY wont recognize that I even have a USB port so I have been unable to try that method. So two questions:
I have SuperCID, so should I continue to even bother to get to 2.10?
If so, is there anything else I can try? Or do I need to get MTTY to work and try that as that is really the only thing left?
Thanks for any and all help anyone can provide.

Did you look on the bootloader screen to see if your SPL changed? To my knowledge the only place you can see it is in the bootloader screen (tri-color screen) And flashing Olipro's Hard SPL only takes a couple seconds so it sounds to me like it is working as designed.
Or are you trying to flash a different rom? If so then try deleting everything you have in the directory you are using and re-downloading. You might have over-written the file you want to flash with the HardSPL one. You shouldn't be using the hard spl wrapper to flash a rom in any case, i believe that is mentioned in bold at the top of the Hard SPL thread.
Ok nevermind I was able to get it to work and MTTY was the answer. This is the 2 steps I had to follow:
From the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723

Hi. I`ve finally found the way to connect mtty and run rom update utility in Vista. tested on rtm 6000.
First of all, connect your device when it`s in bootloader.
next, open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections.
next, goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity
next, goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one from AS 4, i attached it, wceusbsh.inf.
then, kill wmdc.exe with any taskmanager
You are Ready. run ruu or connect MTTY. I guess that vista default driver uses another port, not WCEUSBSH001, that`s why we have to use the old driver.

Then Do This:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
Flashing SPL-1.01 MFG instructions
Put hermes in bootloader mode (side ok + power button + softreset)
Connect Hermes to computer using USB cable.
Open mtty.exe, select "USB" from the dialog box, then hit Ok.
Hit enter twice and you'll see the "USB>" prompt.
Then type these commands: (note the use of 'lnb*s*')
USB>task 32
Level = 0
USB> lnbs SPL-1.01.nbs 50020000
USB> task 8
Device will reboot after this, with bootloader 1.01-MFG on it.
Once I was able to do all this I was succesfully at 1.01 at which point I ran the Custom RUU and upgrade to 2.10 without issue. Once again all right there in the forums, just had to be pieced together to find a solution.
Thank you all for all your dedication to these projects, you make owning a PDA more fun than I am sure was originally intended. I love messing with things.
I have also attached the necessary files from the original posts to perform this for anyone else facing this issue.

Cool, glad you got it working
hi guys
I have a bricked hermes
DOPOD 8525 -> WM 6.1 Professional
From bootloader screen
HERM100 IPL-1.01
bootloader SPL-1,40.01ipro
Tried to flash ROM using safe SSPL with RUUwrapper.
At completion of flash both my mobiler & win mobile device centre disconected or lost connection with device, after soft reset will only load up to second HTC screen. How can I recover from this brick? device manager recognises HTC usb sync when plugged in but I can't connect to re flash rom.
Reading helps my friend
Get to bootloader, press ok and power on left and right respectively and stick stylus in all at same time.
that should bring up tricolour screen.
Download your imate jasjam official ROM
EDIT i think you got a dopod so the dopod ROM is what you want from my 4shared or wiki!!
from the wiki or from my 4shared, and flash it while it is in boot loader mode.
then you need to flash hard spl one of the first stickys on this thread that you have just posted to.
Then flash your desired rom.
Thank you Zocster
Got it unbricked & working, thanks to you I have a lot of trouble reading as I am leagally blind but get by with T2V & magnifiers most times. however searching threads is a lot harder than for most.
thanks
Lou
PS if you ever cross the tasman drop me a line
loulian, to make it easier to recover from bricks, It would be best if you flashed Hard SPL V7 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It won't guarantee a flawless flash but will help if something goes wrong by giving you a GOOD chance of recovery.
You can then use the sd card method and make life easier by not having to worry about pc crashes, cables being pulled, blackouts or those annoying "sync" errros.
Cheers...
Also if you have trouble setting up your Hermes after a flash/hard reset because of the alignment points being hard to see, It would be a good idea to download this -
http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=44
It will, after you save the settings, allow you to use your PC to set up the Alignment point if you need to Hard Reset or flash your phone making it load the os to the today screen.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. I have the same problem, but when i try to flush it from a TriColor mode i get a communication error, it complains about activesynch not connected. BTY mine is cingular 8525 so i am trying to use one of the cingular roms.
Hey, my phone is an At&t 8525 and after finally fixing the white screen problem and flashing hard-spl v7 and a couple of roms I bricked the phone when flashing the last touch flo rom. During the flash the ruu wrapper stopped and indicated there was an error. I did the recovery and it supposedly completed succesfully if I can remember right. When it reboot it would not get past boot loader. And thats where I am now, the phone will not get past boot loader.
I've tried every method on these forum I could found
SD card flashing dosent work, I get the 002..... error in red.
Flashing the factory an at&t rom dosent work either, gets the same error
\
As for as I know the MTTY method dosent work, I don't know how to type in commands into bootloader and when I type in 14 0 in MTTY nothing happens
KITL is not enabled
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.03
The phone does not boot into bootloader when I hit the power button, I have to hold the comm button, power button, and soft reset in order to bring up bootloader.
When bootloader is up and the phone is connected to the computer via usb bootloader displays usb on the screen and windows detects the device as an HTC device.
Again i've spent about a week and a half trying to fix this phone and I don't know what to do anymore, i've tried more methods than listed above I can't remember though. If anyone can give me a hint on what to do I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
P.S Can someone please tell me how you type commands in bootloader or MTTY
You DON'T have Hard SPL V7 installed..... Otherwise your SPL would be 2.10.
Connect the Hermes to the pc, make sure active sync has benn disabled - got to settings, untick connect by USB. It should register on the pc. Go to bootloader then run the .nbh file for your stock rom... Make sure its the carrier rom that it was shipped with. It doesn't have to be WM05 but it DOES have to be your ORIGINAL carrier rom. Let it run through, you may gewt lucky.....
If it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7....... Makes it so much easier to fix then...
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
I tried downloading and sd card flashing a stock rom from a list of factory roms of all Hermes that I found here on xda. It gave me the same error though. I'm not exactly sure which exact rom to download from that list either. Any more help would be appreciated, thx
Wow I feel retarded, I used the wrong factory rom. After I used the right one it worked perfectly, I now have my 8525 back! Thx so much man, ur the friggin man!
Congrats bro you got it atlast. good luck & take care your baby in future. try to help others with your experience.
Glad you fixed it mate, but if I were you I'd also make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. It is the safety net to help when things go wrong... Never gonna be 100% safe but better odds with Hard SPL V7...
SPL - 2.10 oli
Cheers...
Ok... Rejoining the 8525 Clan
Is this Forum still alive???
Been a while guys, figured I would break out the 8525... charge it up and see what kind of things are new in this community. Unfortunately, it looks as if the radio is bricked on it. Seems like it will install ROM's that the radio is not included on. NO GSM is on the boot display, which is strange as I was using this phone until I got the Tilt about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I was a hardcore flasher back then... every other day it seemed, so I know it has (or had) everything it needed like the Oli 2.10 SPL... but it seems like I cannot recover this radio issue.
I am messing with the different original OEM and Carrier ROMs hoping I can get passed the 11-12% mark, and I will let you know if something changes. Any idea if un-installing SPL 2.10 Oli, and then trying to walk back through the old SPL steps could help? I am just trying to figure out another way to get around this radio issue... or basically I have a PDA, no phone Damn phone hasn't been touched in like 2 years, you think it would be just as fine as it was when I took the SIM out.
Cheers

Hi all
Rather than hijacking other threads I thought it might be of help to others if I start a new one.
Having spent hours trawling thru the other threads I have now concluded that I need the help of one of the wise sages such as Cmonex or Olipro.
I decided that a thread might benefit others rather than just pm'ing them.
Ages ago i bricked my ameo.
I had upgraded to spl 3.5 and had been playing with one of michy's roms. Whilst the rom worked fine the boot-up splash screen had become corrupted, I also noticed that the camera had stopped working/initialising.
In an attempt to get the camera back I tried various other roms and decided to downgrade to spl1.2 so that I could go back to a stock rom. In a moment of stupidity I accidentally tried to reflash using a spl3.5 rom.
This resulted in a invalid model id message.
In desperation I did the old vol key down and reset pin. Told the ameo to restore.
From that point onwards the unit is no longer recognised by my pc, in the tricolour boot screen it initialises and says loading 0058002 and then displays
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
I have tried the mtty option, using different computers and different leads, have even tried running the program from the root c: to no avail.
The problem is that whilst in boot loader screen on connection to the pc there is no usb option displayed, nor is there a usb option in the mtty drop-down list.
Pdajoy kindly suggested using a mini sd card to flash the unit. I purchased a micro sd with a mini adapter. Formatted the card to fat32, renamed the ndc file booted to the tri colour boot screen and hit reset. All that happens is that is tries to boot the old fecked o/s and gets as far as a blank grey screen and no further.
I really do miss my ameo- the screen on my touch pro is just too small!!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hope is a typo error here, should be
"rename the RUU_signed.nbh to ATHEIMG.nbh"
Did you removed your SIM card before applying?
Sorry my bad for not warning you in advance.
Grey screen, you mean no text at all. Total blank grey?
Am just curious.
hi Pdajoy
I had renamed the files ATHEIMG.nbh, the reference in my post above is a typo. There was no sim in the phone either.
The screen after it tries to load the old corrupt rom is just a grey mass- nothing else, no text or images.
The two pics listed show the ameo booting and then the grey screen.

hi imaginarynumber,
Thanks for the photo.
hey 4.00 on screen, I believe your set is still spl 3.5
If it is my set, I will definitely flash AP4 again.
Best wait a little while for kind sage to drop by with to assist you.
Don't wish to see you bricks yours.
I have the same problem what can we do ?
I found a way to bring back the normal bootloader you just have tu press the reset button then you press the camera button and you will have your bootloader again
IT IS NOT WORKING you get back to the original bootloader but when you want to put back a rom even the official one after 1 percent it gets back to the grey screen PLEASE HELP
Srry athena works again place the mmty tool with mac bin file in the root of c and try again dont forget the task 32 command before the bin command that worked for me
I had the same exact problem (even the screen was the same) and didn't realize that the initial screen that shows up isn't the bootloader. fixed it by waiting for the grey/white screen, holding the volume button down then reset button and camera button + reset which brought me to the actual bootloader. From there I installed the latest AP rom, updated my radio and installed mitchy's 6.1
Big problem: Mac Address? Still getting dark screen and blue stripes!
Hi, I have follow the various steps above, however I cannot boot my Athena after words.
I am lost! I have followed exactly the steps:
1. disable activesync and put mtty into the C:/ root
2. connected athena as usb and booth with 3 colors screen
3. run mtty
4. done the cmk
5. selected port usb and created the .bin file for my SPL (1.2)
6. in mtty run task 32 and went up to: "code entrypoint unknow"
When I boot again my Athena I get the same dark screen with blue stripes:-(
You need to flash a rom

It looks like you did the wifi fixx correctly but the rom is still corrupted
Go into bootloader to confirm your SPL and then flash an spl appropriate rom
cheers
So, how to proceed now?
Dear Iakeman, all,
how can I confirm now my SPL and than flash the ROM?
I confirm that on my 3 color band screen I have:
IPL-v1.00
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
So, what is next??? If I just reset or restart the Athena in the normal way I will get back the dark screen with blue stripes and nothing will happen....
Do I have a this stage to install a new VM ROM? But I am wondering if I can do that since not sure that in this mode the Athena can communicate to my PC and so being able to upload on it any ROM....

You have confirmed that you have spl1.2 by quoting what you have seen in the tricolor screen.
Get back into that screen , making sure you have removed the sim and sd card and then conect to your computer via the usb cable.
You would have downloaded an spl1.2 rom ( you previously stuffed the radio by trying to flash an spl3.5 rom) and then run the romupdateutility .exe .
then you should be sweet!
having read a reply of cmonex to another post I am starting to think that all hope is lost.
It seems that if windows is unable to recognise the phone it is possibly the case that it is completely f*cked!!!
It would be nice if someone could clarify this...
Which WM to ul now?
Dear Iakeman,
thank you so much for your kind reply. So at this stage I can try to upload to my Athena device, basically, any spl 1.2 rom of WM 6.0, or 6.1 or even the 6.5 beta?). Or I must start with spl1.2 rom WM 6.0 ?
Yes! It works!
Hello, after so much pain, I have follow the Cmonex post 33 to fix my broken firmware and now I have been able to upload properly the VM 6.5.
Many thanks!

just a thought.
Once you finished doing mtty, did you reenable usb in activesync as per this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=mtty&page=2
the other thought was is the usb cable and the usb port able to sync with other wm devices? maybe the slot on your athena is faulty?
Hi Lakeman
Thanks for the reply.
It is possible that the usb port is faulty but it seems improbable that this should have failed at exactly the same time as me stuffing up the O/S.
I will try to find the cmonex post to which I am refering later today (the one that suggests that the phone is stuffed).
Tnx
when i type task 32 show this plz help

I want to help someone on this please , bcs HTC SPV M3100 when i'm trying to switch on phone was stuck on HTC logo and nothing more , i have try to put on boatloader mode and phone was going on bootloader mode three color screen and show this:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
i'm trying with hard spl from Pof soft but error getting.
Can someone find a time to help me?
hallooo
experts please!
Hello haveri,
what ROM are you trying to start? I was stuck on HTC logo too, when I tried to start a ROM without installing Striped ROM first, which was highly needed. So I done hard reset(three color screen), and flashed again.
For starters, put in bootloader, connect to PC (1st untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync) and run Hard SPL V7. Install it on your Herms and hope it works because otherwise you are in for a whole heap of hairpulling frustration...
If you get Hard SPL onto your Hermes then use the sd card method to flash a new rom...
You could have avoided this by doing a little research instead of going full pelt into flashing, you Hard SPL BEFORE you get into trouble, NOT AFTER....
Hi guys,
I have a similar problem with a T-Mobile branded TyTn from a friend of mine who thought flashing ROMs without putting device into HardSPL would be clever.
The devices has also IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.03 and from the bootscreen it looks like WM5 should have been installed. I also get the "NO GSM" message and I REALLY tried every fking method but without success.
I even created a Goldcard (and verified on another device it's working, level 0 instead FF) and tried to flash several ROMs (also Cingular WM5 ROM and original german T-Mobile ROM) but no luck.
I also tried to run HardSPL V7 but as far as I remember it just said it cannot connect.
Funny thing: HardSPL V9 DOES start flashing and on the PDA and the PC the bar shows 100% but some moments later it says "Could not update" (or something like that).
I even tried different mtty methods from several posts from the forum (erasing the NAND on different ways, qtek loader method with erasing the first blocks) but I'm really really frustrated now and I believe there is no solution here?! (device has no guarentee)
So, if someone has ANY hint or useful information write it down or send me a PM.
I gladly appreciate your help and hope for a solution!
Cheers
P.S.: I couldn't find any information saying Goldcard method works (or even exists) for Hermes. Can someone confirm it does really work?
