Hi guys. I've been here for while and over the years i flashed my hermes with various cooked and original roms over and over again. However, today i tried to flash it with the josh Manila2D_Black_V14_WWE rom to see if i could let go my iphone 3g and get back to my good old htc. Here's the thing: USB=Plugged, ActiveSync Ok, HardSSPL, Unlock Sim, the works... When i clicked RUUWrapper.exe all the process turns out good and then, puff! My screen turns black, the Led doesnt work, cant get it reset or hard reset, pulled out the battery and back in, nothing! then i took the USB PC cable and put it on wall charger. The led shows RED, the screen is dead, nothing happens. It stood there for a while, then i tried to hard reset. Went to bootloader, "Press R", "Then Space" "ok", PUFF! nothing happens. Cant get it sync with my pc, wont boot with hard reset, screen's BLACK, now the led stays GREEN all the time when i replace the battery...Can anybody help me out?! If theres a sollution im sure i'll find it here. Thanks in advance!!!
If you have Hard SPL V3 on the hermes, try to go to bootloader, Hold power, OK button and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until you get to tri-colour screen.
If you can get to bootloader then use the sd method to flash a different rom.
1. Format an sd card to FAT32, copy the .nbh file onto the sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Put sd card into hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. Follow instructions.
cheers...
Still nothing...
Thanks for the reply Ultra Well i tried the Power+Ok+reset but nothing happens, the god damn green LED just stays on forever. However i can get to boot with power+the 2 quick buttons from the windows and ok. Can i get access to the SD Card from here? Havent been updated for quite a while, any particular rom you may suggest? Looking for stability, speed and cool home screen... I really apreciated your answer man, thanks
Finally the Cure!!!
It is only fitted that i respond here the cure i´ve found once again in XDA-Dev.com for another serious mind blowing problem with a Herm200. After days and hours spent reading the forum, testing some possibilities, finally the solution. Well it appears that with a SPL 2.30, that doesn´t bootloads by itself or with a SD Card; does NOT recharge the battery, no RED Led whatsoever... the simple official ROM solves the case. I entered Boot Load Mode with side ok+power and stylus reset, appearing USB Mode when i connected it to my PC, NOT showing the connection in ActiveSync, however the USB blip did in the PC. So i knew it was connected, plus the "USB" written in the Hermes. I´ve tested with almost every ROM available in the XDA-Dev, ran to 1% then, crashed. Then i managed to dowload the Official Windows Mobile 6.0 from DOPOD WWE. Fortunatly, it passed 1% to 100%, reviving my good old HTC Hermes. Hope this information helps for anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers!

Hi all,
For some reason my car charger has fried the USB port on my M3100 so I can no longer charge or sync it. Orange are sending a replacement out tomorrow, but I had just upgraded the phone to the new HTC Rom. Obviously I need to get it back to being the Orange one.
As I can't do it via USB I am trying to flash the Orange ROM on using the SD method. However, when the phone resets after PWR+OK+SoftReset all I get is the tricolour screen with the following on it:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olpro
Serial
I've extracted the .nbh file from the Orange .exe and have formatted my SD card as both FAT & FAT32 in Vista but with no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance folks,
Bobby
Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card. Make sure there is NOTHING else on the card.
I've formatted the card twice and put just the renamed HERMIMG.nbh file on it but it still doesn't work. I've never had a problem with the SD slot, or the card, so I don't think it could be that.
Funny, but i remember that it did not work here too... Flash just did not start at all, even if there was HERMIMG.nbh, and it was the only file on the card... Tried both FAT32 and FAT too. Funny. It was in the case of X01HT 1.09 original bootloader, if I remember right...
Did you have any luck getting it to work? Or is it looking like I should have an unfortunate accident with some h2o before they come for it?
try doing the same with SSPL if you can't get it to work from bootloader, or try using another microSD card. Or try resetting a few times... but don't throw h2o on it!
I can't get anything to work via the miniUSB port so nothing that runs on the PC will help. I've just noticed that the tricolour screen comes on, then for a fraction of a second the screen goes grey with 'Loading No Image Found' then back to the tricolour.
The only other SD I can get my hands on is the same make as mine, so I doubt it would make any difference. And I've reset it loads of times while doing this but still nothing. I've tried sticking another nbh file on the card to see if it was just the Orange one it couldn't see, but a radio only one still didn't work.
It had all been going so well...
Hold on, I might have cracked it...
Nope, not yet. It gets as far as showing EXTROM - OK and the progress bar gets about a quarter of the way along then it seems to lock up. The bar hadn't moved for well over 10 mins, so I've soft reset it. Its has the first Orange splash screen now, but the rest is still the HTC ROM. Its a start I suppose.
Hurrah! Rejoice! Its worked, and is back to the slow old crippled Orange ROM. Thanks for your help folks, much appriciated.
Roll on tomorrow night when I get to update my new one all over again!

Good thing you documented what worked for you so that others can benefit too.......
Hallo I have a big Problem,
I cooked a ROM and flashed it on my MDA Vario 2. After Reset my device starts to boot an then it went out and starts again, ever and ever. Nothing else happens.
I tryed to go into Boot-Mode (left "OK" + "Power" + Stick Reset) but nothing happens.
What can I do, please help me
Swith your device off. Then go into bootloader mode (left "OK" + "Power" + Stick Reset(hold it))
Hey Ghz,
I did this but without any effect. The device was out, then I tried to go in bootloader mode (I did hold the two buttons and the Stick) but it went not in boot-mode. It starts again and again. I only can stop it by taking off the battery.
Have you try put in your charging/USB cable without installing the battery? After that try go get in bootloader mode.
I but the USB cable in (without battery). The LED went red. Then I made the Reset and tried to get in boot but nothing happens. Then I Put battery in. LED went orange. Then I tried the bootmode. But the device only tried aigain to boot again and again. I'm getting stupid with this thing. I can't get into bootmode.
When you say that "it boots over and over", how far is it getting in the boot process? What is the last screen that loads before it starts to boot again?
Also, have you tried reflashing with a known working ROM using SD Card method?
What version of SPL was on the device when you flashed this ROM?
Was the ROM you created an OS-only ROM or was there more? If there was more, then what else?
It starts booting. All numbers appear (at the bottem). Then, when normaly the "HTC" animation would start, it breakes and starts again.
It was an OS-Rom (3.61) with several other programms (I exactly don't know jet). The SPL was 1.04 I think (If that is possible).
I cooked the ROM and I forgot to add two other boot-screens I think. Because it breaks when the first boot-screen should appear (I think).
Flashing with SD Card was also without any effect. I think it breaks to early to boot from SD (Or may it be, because I can not enter the boot-screen?)
Sorry my erglish is not the best

Don't worry about your English - it is very good.
Even if you did not put splash screens in your ROM, it would not be a problem, because it would just keep the ones that were already on the device.
I know that his does not help you, but it would have helped you to flash HardSPL, because it sounds like you *may* have corrupted the IPL or SPL, since you cannot put the phone into bootloader mode and it is not getting past the bootloader at startup. Unfortunately, I do not know a way to fix this. HardSPL would have prevented this, because it protects the bootloaders from overwriting. I wish I had better news. Maybe someone else can help...
Hi,
yes - I've read ALL the dead tytn posts and followed all Wiki options but not describe my situation.
I was having a perfectly stable Tytn for the past few weeks, didn't install anything, used it daily with no issues.
Yesterday I decided to reboot to clean the mem a bit (God knows why) and after the restart it simply came on with a blank screen.
The screen shows nothing and the backlight turns on but nothing.
I tried to put it in flash mode and yet the screen remains blank - nothing.
Took the battery out for an hour back in - dead screen.
Did a hard reset - still dead screen.
Tried a sd flash method - still nothing showed.
I even took it apart to check the cables - all in place nothing shows damage or issues or even dirt.
It doesn't show a thing no matter what I try,
ActiveSync is not connecting and all rom flashers fail to connect (error 260).
Tried mtty but didn't get the usb> prompt (just cmd>)
The wierd part is that it still recieves calls from time to time.
Did anyone face this or know of any solutions?
PLEASE HELP! This is so sad...

the cmd> prompt means its in bootloader.
question is... have you put Hard-SPL on this device.
Hi,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I did - I've put your outstanding hard-spl 2.10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722) on it and it worked great.
Can I use the CMD to somehow re-flash or do something else?
You think it's software related?
Hi
When I turn on my phone all it shows is red, green, blue and white stripes across the screen with the following text:
ROSE100
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Rose (LED) v10
MicroP-Rose (key) v5
PCBID 0x80
RID 0x0
At the bottom of the screen it also says "Serial", but displays no actual serial. Please see attached pic.
Please help guys. Problem initially started when phone collected dew on cold morning (camping).
Thanks!!!
You seem to be in the "flash screen".. I did that on my phone by accident, pressing power and one of the volume buttons.. Try pulling the battery out, put it back and see if it starts normally.
I have the exact same problem. Mine happened all of a sudden for no reason after turning my phone off and trying to turn it back on. Please post if you find a solution
Well, you can try to reflash your ROM. Many official ROMs can be found here.
Hi, I got the roms, but where can I read how to put the new one on my phone using my computer?
Ok, I got it I just run the .exe file to update my rom. However, there is just one problem, it says you should connect activesync to your phone. How tf do I connect activesync as my phone does not load any OS?! I tried without activesync but it doesnt work - it freezes on 0% update and after a while it runs some kind of recovery steps. So how do I get pass the activesync thing? Thanks
You can't upgrade ROM via activesync if u don't have acces to windows mobile, you can do it only from SD card.
Here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M7OEOF2N (pass: xda) you find a Rose service manual and at the page 45 you find "ROM Image upgrade thru SD card" ...it's not complicated, read carrefuly.
Ok I read it but when I press the power button for the second time it says "No image file". I renamed the file to RoseIMG.NBH. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know what are you doing wrong ...try to rename the file to "ROSEIMG.nbh". Where did you download the ROM? ...I recomend you to put the same ROM you have on device because you don't have installed HardSPL (and I don't know if you can install it from SD card). Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599520 are the officials roms for S740.
PS: I never tried this method on S740, I do it once on tytn II and works perfectly.
Here is how I got it to work:
Left it in the boot mode with the colorful screen until the battery is decharged enough, then tried to put it on again and it automatically turns off. So I put the USB cable in it and walla it started loading the battery and it turned on automatically and loaded WM. However, I still can not flush my ROM even through activesync.. but I am glad I can use it again.
something many forget with this fault, and I have seen quite a few is it is often not a rom issue but a hardware problem... in this case it may be a faulty up volume button, or maybe the plastic cap has shifted keeping the button held down, does the button still click ok?
The monet was a swine for the camera button giving up the ghost and doing nothing but dropping to boot loader......
Hello!
It's insane, here is the description.
The android booted up just in safe mode.
The winmo had faults, so I've decided to change the whole system, with task 29.
At first I've changed my radio to the 2_12_50_02_2 version.
Than I've started the task29, the one what do not needs the radio.
Thats all I've done, and now I cannot reach the boot loader, or anything else.
The vol up and start trick is not working.
Please give me a solution, I need this phone working, I need a solution, and I appreciate every tip.
Thank You in advance!!!!
its volume down, not up.
same problem for me here
i did task29 and it was all fine, 100% reached and then the HD2 did a reboot, stopping at the black screen with the white HTC logo.
then as always i removed the battery and put it in again, holding vol down und clicking power-up once.
nothing happend... the phone vibrated once and got back to the HTC logo.
NO bootloader!
please do not tell me i'm too dumb to enter bootloader, i've been flashing custom roms for 6 months now!
my latest rom was Goatrip 6.0 and HSLP is 2.08
yesterday when goa6 was still "alive" the volume-down button worked fine, so the problem cant be some dust or dirt beneath the buttons.
edit: i've also tried flashing via SD card (clean FAT32 formatted 2gb card) the original stock rom 3.14 and a custom rom,
none of them is working either
every single hint of how i could solve this issue would be great!
hope to here from u guys
Remove the SD card and try again to go into BootLoader mode.
i have tried all methods and variations but i cant enter bootloader...
now i have found this thread:
--eeeeek cant post links --
its referring to the TP2 but i thought i would give it a try!
i've done this sketchy voldown+power+usbcable+batteryplugin thing but no result, even after 10 attempts :-(
Since you removed the battery, are all the pins straight?
those 5 (2 1 2) pins are in good shape
i cant post a link yet, ill send it to u via PM
posting links enabled:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/122134-task29-didnt-complete-cant-enter-bootloader.html
i got it!
my stepfather owns a HD2, too.
i plug mine into his docking station while i was on the phone with htc support... just because i was bored waiting in the queue.
after the phone call i tried once again to enter bootloader e voila => boooom 3 colour screen!
i dont know whats the reason for, but i flashed my custom rom as fast as i could and it works fine.
but even now i cant enter bootloader properly...for 10 times trying 2 times actually work!
in the WM Os its no problem, Vol-Down functionality is 100%
cant explain that to me,
i think u need some luck to get this issue solved
___EDIT___
now with my customrom i could easily enter the bootloader via software command
and therefore i downgraded HSPL to stock spl1.42.000.
after this i flashed 2.08.hspl again and NOW my bootloader is working as intended!
u see, once u can get into bootloader again, all your problems can be fixed.
without him, you're f*cked
greetings
