I have flashed Telstra on to my X01ht and everything worked fine at first.
Then I realised that I didnt have radio on it and while flashing the radio,
the phone just went into reset and now the phone is stuck on the windows
mobile startup screen.
I've tried flashing the phone using USB and also SD card. Maybe my file on the SD card is wrong. Do you think you guys can tell me what I should do? Or could you guys tell me
exactly what file I should put on the SD card.
My phone is HERM200 IPL-1.00 SPL-1.11.
Thank you guys in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
you need to flash hardsplv7 to prevent bricking your device (which you already just did).
here are some mroe resources:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems --> common upgrade problems
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick --> how to unbrick your hermes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 --> read and post your brick here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 -->DL hardspl here
Next time you brick your device or have problems, try to post as much about what you did before you bricked it as you can, and also note which threads/wiki resources you researched and were still unsuccessful. This way people trying to help you dont have to post usleless (or already attempted) information.
Good Luck
Yep , I know all about thise threads and I have done everything that they have told me. But I can't see the phone when I connect it to my computer. Therefore, it's a bit hard to put Hard SPL on the phone!

you cant see the phone because it is not connected in activesync, or you can see the phone because your device is not recognizing the serial connection in the bootloader?
You can't put HardSPL on a bricked phone.. It's like a condom.. It doesn't work if you put it on AFTER sex...

Just curious, how did you not have the radio on it from the beginning, or why would you think theres no radio on it??
Just to clear things up again.
When I connect the phone to the pc and I boot the phone in bootloader mode.
it registers USB connection. But when I tried to flash the phone, it just losses
connection with the pc after 40% or so and restarts the phone automatically.
that's why I can't flash anything.
I reckon if I did the flashing through the SD card, chances would be
that the phone would not restart itself because there is no external
connection but with the SD card only. So if you guys could guide me
to what should I put on the SD card, i'd love to try that out first.
Im not sure if the phone is bricked or not, all I can say is that
the damm thing just never gets past the windows mobile boot screen.
Thanks for the reply guys

My Mogul was taken to a store that flashes phones to cricket. So it was ok before I took it to the store now. When I turn the phone on it boots to the smart mobility screen says "No Radio" then turns right off. I formatted my microSD card put the TITAIMG>nbh file on the card put my phone in the bootloader mode. Now my phone turns on and stay in the smart mobility screen w/ the No Radio still on it, and thats it. Is this phone dead? If not HELP!

If you paid someone to flash it, take it back! Did they give you back a non working phone? You'd think they would have tested it???
It sounds like you have a rom / Radio incompatibility problem. Or no radio at all. You say that you put the radio nbh on the card and put it into bootloader mode, but did you actually flash the radio? Did it come up with the grey screen and blue progress bar showing it was actually flashing the Radio rom?
Mogul Dead
No my phone did not do any of that stuff. And no I do not think that I flashed the radio I don't know how. I put the nbh file on the card insert it put it in the tri color screen and nothing happens. Man I am screwed. The kid at the store is saying that I did something & I did not. I have been reading alot cause I do not know anything about this flashing stuff and it does seem like there might be a radio/rom compatability thing going on cause the phone says no radio. I followed some forum steps to no avail.
dude if you get the tri color boot loader screen you did not kill your phone, all you need to do is flash your radio, witch is completely seprate from flashing your OS. just read the wiki and relax
The phone is telling you what is wrong "No Radio" you should be able to flash a radio via your sd card then flash a rom and all should be well. You just need to make sure the radio is compatable to the ROM. What is your ROM Version that shows on your boot screen. Also what bootloader is installed (tricolor screen)
I realize English isn't your primary language, but based on how you phrased your last comment, it sounds like you are inserting the SD card after the tri color screen.
The card needs to be in the phone before you press the 3 buttons for the boot loader screen, then it should see it.

Mogul Dead
Ok great sounds like from the replies that my mogul is not dead. Ok thanks guys. Also when I put the phone in the bootloader modethe tro color screen the card is already inserted, and the bootloader is SPL-2.40.Olipro. I do not know what ROM was put on the phone when it came from the store. So yeah I just might have to keep tyring to combine the right radio for the right rom thats on the phone.
find radio 3.42.50 and flash it via your sd card
then find the rom you want .....example.... DCD 3.2.6 and flash it via your sd card
then install dcd's carrier cab for you carrier and you should be up and running
Mogul Dead
How do I flash DCD's ROM to the sd card I never did this.
Do you have a ROM ready to flash? If so just goto the wiki link for the Titan's and do some reading. Everything you'll ever need to know about flashing is in there...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Focus on the radio first, once you get it flashed, then you can worry about flashing the rom.
For the rom (not radio) it's much easier, from the tri-color screen, plug in your USB cable and run the .exe file and it will flash.
However, get the radio updated first.
Try the 3.42.50 radio, I personally use 3.42.40 but they are very close and both support the same roms.
BTC
Freaking out as well
I'm stuck at the tri-color screen after updating the bootloader to 2.40.Olipro , I thought I could update the bootloader and still go into my Windows 6.1 install (and update the rest later).
I thought I totally screwed up my phone until I read this thread so hopefully there is still hope for this.
I do not have an SD card so I'm trying to do it the USB method by downloading the "ROM Update Utility" and placing the TITAIMG.NBH file into the RUU directory. It seems to work but stops at about 8% and the phone goes black then the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility pops up a:
ERROR [328]: INVALID COMMAND
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility.
As you can imagine I'm absolutely panicked right now and will appreciate ANY help!
well save yourself some grief and buy a 2 gig microSD card. Then all you have to do is put the radio ROM on it, go into bootloader mode and let it flash. That is the safest and easiest way to do it. Also less, read nill, chance of bricking your phone.
Ok I'm heading out the door to Best Buy right now...
So once I get the radio installed, I then install DCD using the SD card method? Then the carrier cab?
I've already updated the bootloader to 2.40 using the USB method, will mixing these two cause any issues?
Now that I'm totally stuck at the bootloader, are there any precautions I should take before continuing?!?
Thanks so much for the help, I can't wait to get this going and maybe help out people like myself in the future
I got a 2gb card, formatted it to FAT32, downloaded 3.42.50 radio, renamed it and placed it into the root directory of the card.
I then put it into the phone, then did a POWER+CAMERA+RESET. It comes back to the bootloader screen doing nothing.
I've been reading around and it looks like I'm doing everything correct???? It just sits there and at the bottom it says "Serial"
EDIT: Oh you have to HOLD that combination for a couple seconds. Got it, I'll keep going on the process....
Here's what I just recently posted in another thread for someone wanting step by step instructions on how to flash the phone. He said he followed it and it worked so hopefully it helps you out.
1. Download everything you will need.
a) nueSPL 2.47 from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pag...HTC-Titan.aspx
b) Radio 3.42.50 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415364
c) The ROM from http://www.scottcrosler.com/
2. Back up your SD card and then format your SD card into FAT32 with less than 4kb cluster size. Open My Computer, right click on your SD card, select format and adjust the settings accordingly.
3. Run nueSPL 2.47 on your phone with your SD card in. It will reformat your SD card again and put the bootloader on it. When you reset your phone it will install the bootloader. Just follow the instructions.
4. Copy the nbh file from the radio rom onto your SD card and rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Put it in your phone and put the phone into bootloader mode by pressing CAMERA, POWER, and RESET (the recessed button on the bottom of the phone) at the same time. When it starts up it should come up with a grey screen telling you to press POWER to continue flashing. Do this and wait for it to complete. When it is complete delete the nbh file from your card using your computer.
5. Put the phone into bootloader mode again using the same method as before. Connect your phone via USB to your computer and run the ROM flashing exe to flash the rom. Just follow the instructions that come up. It's easy. When that is done your phone has the ROM installed. If the USB method does not work for you, look for the largest .nbh file and copy it to your SD card, rename the .nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh again, and reset into bootloader again. You should get the same screen as you did when you flashed the radio. When it's complete the ROM is installed.
6. Run the CAB file from My Documents to extract all the other cabs. After that is complete look for the cab for your carrier and install that. Soft reset.
7. Your phone should work now.
I think that's it. Anyone else feel free to correct anything I probably have wrong... I just wrote that from memory. It's normally easy to do and you just follow the on screen prompts so I might've made some mistakes. I always just flash via SD now because it's so easy and I don't require a PC for anything.

The bold text is a step I left out for the other person but he figured it out.
Edit: Oh yeah, skip the part where you install the bootloader (step 3) since you're already running an unlocked bootloader and don't have a working OS on the phone to install 2.47. Once you have a working OS you can go ahead and update from 2.40 to 2.47 if you want a slight improvement in performance. It will not require you to reflash everything else again (or at least didn't for me).
Yes! 100% working. Didn't even have to call Verizon to reactive it, everything was ready to go as soon as I got the new rom.
Thanks for the help!

Did you install the carrier cab?
Also see in EPST. If you use EVDO, may be login and pass are erased after flash. I had same problem with official Sprint ROM.
And what kind of GPS you are talking about? aGPS?
Phone is a MDA Vario 2 (Herm300), though i had ran the SIM & CID unlocker succesfully a few months ago and have been using an o2 sim since.
I thought i'd upgrade to WM6 (installed it fine over a year ago) so picked the o2 one from the list on here. The upgrade went fine, it completed and i clicked Finish when i was prompted. The device first got stuck on the Windows Mobile screen then froze up when it actually goes past on to the today screen. The o2 customisation stuff starts to install but as before it freezes after 2 minutes or so, after soft reset it bypasses that and boots to Today screen. I'm also getting the No GSM message on the o2 splash screen prior to the freezing up. When it does boot up to Today screen all functions are working for about 2 minutes then it dies.
So now it wont connect to activesync and nor will it respond to any SD card install. Bit cheesed off, had my head in the Wiki almost all day trying things out but with no joy and something that was straight forward over a year ago has turned into a nightmare and my brain now aches.
Is there any way i could get back to the default tmobile rom? All i'll do then is run the SIM & CID unlocker again and leave it at that. I only wanted WM6 for the HTML emails.
You didn't flash Hard SPL V7, did you?
You can try installing the stock rom back again but if you can't get it to run you're in for a world of time consuming reading....
You MUST Install Hard SPL V7 if you recover your Hermes as it makes it easier to recover if something like this happens...

The device was CID & SIM unlocked first. The bootloader shows IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 1.40.Olipro
How can i install v7 if activesync wont connect?
use the sd card method explained in the readme that comes with hardspl

Yeah, remembered that one. I'm doing that now as i speak, just formatted the 2gb card to FAT32. I'll be back with the results shortly
Imanaged to install the Hard SPL on my device via SD card. Fortunately now and again my device boots to today screen, but only for about 2 minutes before the whole thing freezes up and has to be reset.
So during this time i copied the SSPL-HERM.exe to the phone from my SD card, deleted it once copied and took the battery out. Then when i powered device up into Bootloader i just followed the instructions, pressing the power button then the install was complete. Took about 5 seconds.
So now my device is Hard SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Am i right in thinking that now my device is prepared to be flashed? I still get the No GSM warning at the o2 splash screen and the device still crashes after 2 minutes, thats if it got that far after it gets stuck on the Windows Mobile screen.
I'm thinking now i might be better off reverting back to the default tmobile branded WM5 that was already installed.
Try installing that 1st. It may fix things.
If it does, do the search for how to fix bad blocks as it sounds like this may be a problem too.
As you now have Hard SPL V7 installed, after you check for bad blocks, you can then use the sd card method to flash whatever rom you please. I believe its safer than using the PC simply because the only things that will interrupt the flash are flat batteries, manual reset and taking the sd card out during flash.
Good luck...

I followed the instructions for flashing with sd card using the tmobile WM6 rom, which told me to extract the nbh file from within the rom and rename it loading it to the sd card before restarting the device to bootloader.
I did this and it said it was completed after what must've been only 5 seconds. Something must have been wrong with that. Especially as it still boots an o2 splash screen.
What am i doing wrong here? I'm sure i have followed every guide to the word so i'm a bit lost.
Once i've downloaded the rom i want, what do i put on the SD card in order to flash from it?
3 things...
1 MUST be 2Gb card or less.
2. MUST be formatted FAT32 - comes default format FAT.
3. Spelling has to be correct. Must be hermimg.nbh, no mistakes allowed.
Check these things, never failed for me as I don't use the P\C to flash since I found out how to do this...
Cheers...
3 steps.
1. Format sd card FAT32 and copy .nbh file onto it, rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert card into Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. If everything is right, follow directions.
Easy...
I've done it! Yay
**** knows where i'd be without you guys. BIG BIG thankyou to all who posted useful information for me to read in the forums.
It took a while but eventually the v3a unlocker got there. Booted the phone up and it now seems to works fine, it hasn't frozen up either.
Bought my M3100 2nd hand in June 2008, never had a problem.
Today the radio started going nuts. The phone started showing "no network connection symbols" in the top bar, most of the time.
Occasionally it did find the network (Three) and would allow me to call voicemail, but with very very bad sound quality and the odd squeaking and electric buzzing noises in the background - most of the time it dropped the call after 4-5seconds.
Quite often the phone would stall when I tried to bring up the dial pad and dial a number or tried turning off 3G//UMTS in the Comm Manager.
Getting ready to take it back to the shop I bought it from, I tried to reload an Orange rom (SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007) and when that failed HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108. In both cases the rom upgrade failed at 12% with error 262.
I repeated flashing several times, on 2 different Windows XP computers and several different cables as well.
M3100 running TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes (before it failed)
HERM100
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Any suggestions?
Use sd card method.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert card and reset to bootloader.
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Cheers...

Thanks will try that. I take it you are trying to rule out a USB problem?
Eureka! Install completed successfully. Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately the phone problem persists. Any suggestions?
If not, is it possible to re-apply the Orange Sim Lock? The company I got the phone from apparently considers it grounds to void the warranty, if one unlocks a purchased phone.
Looks like that the flashing from SD worked first time was a fluke. I have subsequently tried it again and it stalled at GSM.
Is this a physical problem with the Hermes or should I try following the corrupted radio repair guide?
Just to be clear, I haven't played with the rom in 3-4 month. The problem of the Hermes stalling when starting phone related functions, not being able to find a phone signal and dropping calls after 4-5 seconds started out of the blue.
Sorry mate, sounds like your radio rom is corrupted.
You could try to re-install the stock rom but if it keeps freezing it means that you won't be able to use as a phone. Look around on here for mr vanx spl downgrade guide, it should be able to help you restore your proper spl so you can take back.
If you can't install the stock rom then you could at least install a stock rom without the radio part. This will allow you to use the PDA functions but no phone functions...
Cheers...
Thanks for the help!
I took my chances with the shop and they just replaced it with another!
I am about to unlock/install TNT back onto it. OooOOoooh happy days!

Hey guys,
Im a new member here
but been following through all the great posts here at XDA for a long time now.
I have been trying to unlock my HTC Radar for almost 2 days now but im unable to do so.
1. I tried using the ROMUpdateUtility from here : HSPL for HTC WP7 Second Generation
I got the Invalid Vender ID error and thus had to resort to the Gold Card Method. Made the Gold card from a 4GB MicroSD card , Bought the Y-cable ( 2 MALE and 1 Female type ) and also a Female-Female USB Gender Changer as per this post here :
[Noob-friendly] Goldcard SPL Downgrade Method; No Android-Phone and/or custom wires!
I Fixed it Accordingly but the Screen is stuck where it says *Enter USB Host Mode* .. i tried various combination of MicroSD card Readers and MicroSD card .. i have included a image of my configuration in this post
Can someone please help me...
Thank you In Advance
Did you successfully do the steps that required the gold card?
You have to put your phone in SPL mode in order to use RUU.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?
Tried
I tried the RUU first by entering in SPL mode . Installed the Drivers and then i got an Invalid Vender id , so while using the gold card method i tried various Memory cards ( SD card : 2gb and 4gb ) and also Flash drives but the screen is always stuck in "Enter USB Host mode.."
Yeah me too, I followed every step in the instruction and I could not make it, my phone freezes at screen "Enter USB Host Mode" too
I tried HSPL, and I got this
Sorry I'm noob

Hi, have you tried to swtich the phone and the card reader? In my opinion, the phone should be connected in the place of the card reader, and the card reader in the place of the phone. At the first time, at least for me, the process doesn't start inmediatly, I had to wait a couple of minutes the first time. I think that's not a problem with the gold card, if the gold card is not created properly the phone will be stuck at loading.
Greetings.

Does your y-cable work properly?
Did you patch the proper image to the goldcard i.e the .nbh file?
im 100% sure i patched the correct OMEGIMG.nbh file cause the gold card tool showed that the process was success. I give up Been trying for 5 days now. I think time to quit and wait for some easy process to come along !

+1 same here....waiting for a method where no use of goldcard is there
I was stuck there for a while too. I ended up just rotating my y-cable with attachments until my radar recognized the goldcard and tried to load it. It's possible that your y-cable is not wired correctly also. I tried to buy one from a local store, and they told me that it wasn't designed in a way that would allow me to use it to make the goldcard, so I bought the recommended one from amazon.
WP7 noob here long time Android flasher/rooter.
What is the point of unlocking the Radar at this point as there doesn't seem to be ROM's available, or am I missing something? Are they coming?
Thanks for any replies.
There are currently 3 custom ROMS available in the development section.

turn off your phone. hold volume up+down simultaneously & press power button, it should take you to SPL mode. then connect your phone to USB port. if you use windows 7, it would install the driver automatically. when installed, run the RUU.exe.
hope it helps
