i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes. i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04. it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.
can someone help please.......??
Have you tried just flashing a Radio Rom Only?
I tried to flash 1.43.00.00 radio on to my hermes and it got to 0% and had an error (error had a 2 in it and was 3 numbers i think) I now have my hermes with tri colour screen
i had updated to scaps rom using mr vanx's online tutorial and installed the rom, hard spl and radio version provided there. I'd had a bad install though and it left me with a damaged security area i think which meant i was given the original imei and it was barred.
I then tried to install radio 1.43.00.00 but it failed as i said before i now have the tri colour screen and i tried to plug it in to the usb and the text changes from 'serial' to 'usb' but nothing happens on the pc or when i try and charge it.
I have read through the wiki on bricked hermes but did not undestand which type i had and even then how to fix it.
Please help! Thanks in advance
What I did was download the original WM5 ROM from AT&T (MY provider). As long as your tri-color screen says usb you should be able to run the rom update just fine.
I cant remember if I went to file / connectionsettings/ and unchecked "allow usb settings" or not. but long story short you can not load a cooked rom while its in this state. Reload the Rom then the Radio and you should be good to go.
thanks ill give it a try
legend nice 1
Okay so I just got this 8525 from my friend maybe last week.
I used it for the week, and after one power off.. BAM tricolor screen on reboot.
the screen reads
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Followed by Serial at the bottom in white.
I have no idea what to do
I tried to "flash" it with my SDcard using the .nbh file but i dont know what im doing!
PM me
flashing is going to be abit risky due to the fact the device is not hardSPL
try to reflash the carrier rom via USB.
well im using VISTA, i know the process for connecting to activesync is different.
somehow i was messing around trying to flash a new ROM
and i ended up with SPL-1.11
I NEED like baby step instructions on how to do this.
Read up on how to flash via sd card. !st though do a search on how to Hard sPL your hemes using sd card.. CHeers..
download the at&t rom here:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=65&act=sd
connect your phone to the pc then run it.

1st try to update your SPL. click to link.
then you can update your spl to 2.60))) click to link.
on the last you must update your ROM (to stripped as well) via USB (maybe from SD-card) click to link and you can try stock rom link
sooo, and you can upgrade your device to any custom roms from our members)
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
Cmd>task 32
Level = FF

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?
