Ok, im sorry if this has been posted someplace els but i searched for hours and couldnt find it. im trying to upgrade my 8525 to WM6.5 i have the files, but when ii go run RUU it comes up, i get the first 2 questions, i understand, and ive done the things and then when it goes to connect to the device i get "device cannot be Identified" i have tried a couple different downloads and get the same result every time. Thanks In Advance
Have you SIM-unlocked / superCID'd your device before trying to upgrade the bootloader / the ROM?
If not, that might be your issue. I found the device unlocking software by typing SuperCID into the "search" toolbar.
Hope that helps.
Sim is unlocked, now as for the CID im not really sure (forgive my noobishness im still getting used to Windows Mobile) is there a way to check to see if its been done previously?
OK so CID and SIM are now unlocked. but im still getting the error when i try to run the RUU to update to WM 6.5. It Acts like it wants to go but then error when trying to verify the device. i should mention that active sync says its connected and i can get to all my folders so the device is connected. (ps the RUU worked for the sim/cid unlocker but doesnt work for ther ROM or radio ROM)
1st thing I'd do is install Hard SPL V7 using the sd card method (page 116, post 1160 on the Hard SPL sticky in the upgrading section). It will change your SPL from 1.40 to 2.10 oli. Then you can use the sd card method to flash any Hermes rom/radio rom.
I find it safer to use than the PC as there are no chances of "accidents"...
Cheers...

Sadly my Sd slot is not working quite right, thats one of the things i was hoping the ROM update might help with. But would the Hard SPL V7 possibly help with the issues im having?
HERMES 100 (jasjam) Flashing ROM?
Help, I have downloaded a few different WWE 6 ROM's and I can' get my phone to flash them. I flashed Hard-spl-v7 ok. but i cant get the WWE rom to flash "WM6__Official_MS_ROM_" Phone goes into flash mode and then nothing happens.
Help
FrmPalm2WM, No, flashing any rom most likely won't help with that problem. Use some compressed air to try and clean out any dust in the sd card slot.
You might also try updating your PC's .net framework to 3.5, if you're still using XP. Just put the Hermes into bootloader and run the RUU_Wrapper.exe. It should recognise it. Also make sure that Active sync on the PC has "Allow USB Connections" unchecked.
kitcho, how you trying to flash? PC or sd card....
When you post please put as much info in as possible or we can't help.
Are the roms for the Hermes, anything downloaded from the Hermes forum SHOULD work.
If you're using the sd card method, have you put the .nbh file on an sd card formatted FAT32 and renamed to hermimg.nbh. If one of those things isn't right then it won't work. If you don't have Hard SPL V7 on your Hermes (SPL - 2.10 oli) then it won't work.

ok so still cant get the RUU to work. and since doing the CD unlock iit changed my radio to 1.4 and when turn the phone on it says no GSM. when i try to run RUU from the ROMs ive downloaded from other threads on here i either get cannot connect or an error with the application. my first priority is to get the radio backk up and runnng. im gettng to othe point that i wanna erase everything on it and start over. any suggestions?

I got this phone a few days ago and I'm already on a modding spree.
Today, I upgraded to SPL-1.40.01ipro and also upgraded the radio to 1.38.00.10.
To continue my modding spree, I wanted to update to the new Cingular ROM (2.06.502.3). I downloaded the package and launced it. I went through the usual ROM upgrading steps (checkboxes, etc.). Finally, at the last screen (before the status bar) I clicked ok, and it popped up a message saying "Verifying PDA information, etc." The phone disconnected from ActiveSync (even quit the program), Windows made the disconnecting sound, and then it made the connecting sound, and my phone went into bootloader mode. It then stayed there until a window popped up on my monitor saying "Error [260]: Update Error".
I searched about Error 260 and all I came up with was program conflicts. I rebooted the computer and tried to exit pretty much every program. Do I not have enough space on the phone?
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I searched alot. Thanks
Edit: I am using WinXP Pro, so the Vista issue has no concern.
If it is a standard RUU updater provided by Cingular you need to disable USB connections in activesync first.
Using the customRUU updates provided here (all the WM6 builds and HardSPL...and radio) its the opposite, but try unticking "allow usb connections" in connection settings (in activesync on your pc).
I assume it's the standard RUU, as it does not say CustomRUU on the file.
Edit:
I am using this one:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Cingular English CWS__001 2.06.502.3 02/02/07 ?? 1.33.31.00 32.66.7020.10H 15671.3.3.0 3.3 1.09 108
Should I just do the Ext. ROM ones?
Also, wouldn't disabling the USB connection result in a connection error (since it's not "connected")?
By the way, your upgrade guides are excellent! They really helped with the radio and SPL update.
A few minutes ago, I tried the the SIM unlock/CID unlock .v3 and it does the same thing. Error [206].

I think i might have been confused with using the mtty program, never mind.
The reason your RUU will not work is because you have an upgraded SPL (HardSPL) on your device and it is not recognised by the operator RUU.
The procedure to flash the cingular ROM to your device is the same as in my WM5 Downgrade Guide.
(you might not understand this until youve read the guide)
Just package the OS,Extrom and splashscreens as in the guide and flash with the CustomRUU tool, you will be fine. (follow the guide its all in there). Just to add to that when you come to flashing the repackaged ROM (at the end of the guide) select the 'Autodetect' option when the flashing utility asks what SPL you have.
Thanks for the help so far!
I read another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085&highlight=error+260
that if I update the ROM a certain way, I will not be able to upgrade the radio afterwards. Is this true for your WM5 downgrading guide? (I am upgrading to AKU3.3 by the way)
Just want to make sure before I do it.

You can change the radio without issue dude. Aslong as you have HardSPLv6 (1.40.olipro) then we will have no problem sorting you out.
The guide is awesome!
But when it comes to this window:
Follow the RUU instructions as usual to flash the WM5 ROM. Select 'Autodetect' when the RUU asks which SPL version you have.
when I select Autodetect it says it cannot query the device and it advises me to pick SSPL. Should I just do that? Activesync is running and connected.

No probs dude
Might wanna give the threads on HardSPL, CustomRUU and maybe the (hermes) rom koch???
The info there is great for future releases of ROM (and also for the techniques used in my guide)
I have same problem, error 260. At same time, after final check. I have made my .nbh with this guide (from Original ROM 2.11.255.1 03/07/07 and 2.05.255.1 01/17/07 ).
I have tryed to update with that guide that I mentioned before on two different computers Win XP sp2 and Win 2000. I have ActiveSync 4.2 on PC and the phone is Vodafone v1605 (with only rom that it has) and I have updated bootloader to 1.40.olipro.
Does this RUUWrapper.exe work with this .nbh allso? I want to upgrade everything to newest, or should I? I didn't find userguide for RUUWrapper or when it should be used.
I also tryed to flash ROM with "ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2", it went little bit further, but it hanged in 0% with error 244
Error 260 continuted
hello
I had the same issue, Error: 260. I have a hermes TyTn, WM6. I have tried to follow the steps on the downgrade to WM5 but have some issues. There is a warning to do the HardSPL first because this would prevent the unit from being bricked, but i am doing this because I can't do the Hard SPL. Secondly the Hermes RomKoch by dutty can not be found at the link provided. please help!
Try this method:
First go to this mode:
http://rt002nf0.eresmas.net/TodoPDAs200/bootloader01.jpg
And finally run ruuwrapper. This helps me.
error 260
I am getting the same error 260 message when I try to upgrade as well. I read several threads with different solutions and none of them worked for me. The link in this forum pointing to the downgrade guide does not work. I've tried on 2 different Vista Ultimate machines with no success. The funny thing is, I upgraded one of my 8525s on one of these machines with no problem, but this new 8525 I received today isn't playing nice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Install Hard SPL V7, then use sd card method to install ROM.
Go to page 116, post 1160 on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
for sd card method for Hard SPL.
Just drop the steps using sspl.exe when flashing roms as you would now have Hard SPL installed.
You need a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32 and make no spelling mistakes when renaming .nbh file to hermimg.nbh..
Cheers...
But how do I get the Hard SPL V7 installed. That is the version I was trying to install. I go through the steps and once my phone gets to the bootloader, it disconnects from the WMDC and then the error message. So I need to get past the Hard SPL V7 install first. Any ideas on that?
Thanks ultramag69

Thanks ultramag69 it worked. I appreciate your help. Do you also have a good link for the Windows Mobile 6 download?
Thanks again.
I was handed what looked like a brand new I-MATE JasJam, except I was told that it was crashing a lot and could not make phone calls.
After reading lots of different posts on this site I have determined that the Radio's firmware is corrupt. There is "NO GSM" on bootup and no IMEI being listed.
I have been trying the last few days to flash the radio with a new version of firmware but have yet to get past 0%. I have had success flashing the device with Black 3.5 but the radio is still not flashing.
I have simunlocked and SuperCID the phone with success and I have tred USB Monitoring when I attempted to flash the radio device and have seen "AUX_process-FAIL..".
Before I keep trying with alternative ways of programming the RADIO is there anything I can do to determine that the RADIO is physically installed and electronically responsive. My concern is that perhaps the radio's hardware is broken and no amount of flashing attempts will ever bring it back.
Currently
IPL - 1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro (I can install 2.10 if required..)
CID=SuperCID (Level 0)
Can Boot to OS ? Yes
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
Used to happenb to me. I always flash bu sd card way. Just put the radio image on sd card in nbh format. Rename it to HERMIMG and go into bootloader. It will put the radio on. Alayas fails for me when i use the customruu
your radio bootloader is dead, you're basically screwed.
Thanks, thats all I wanted to know.

Sorry I think you misunderstood. All im saying is that mine used to stop at 0% Every single time using windows to flash. I started using the sd card and it would freeze as well but kept trying and trying and eventually it would start to flash. Usually on sd card method it would freeze around 12% but then eventually go on and update success.. Try the sd card way and it may work. Remember I had the same problem , no gsm , no imei etc

I would flash the htc official wm6 rom, or get any of the extracted radio roms from the wiki. Now i have the official tmobile wm6 rom uk rom somewhere on this site. I just put the radio or whole rom in nbh format onto sd card and rename it to HERMIMG. then go into bootloader and it will do the rest itself. The exe files from the official tmobile rom get extracted to your temp folder and creates the nbh format. Just copy it from there
Remember if it freezes , keep trying. I once had to try 10 times before it did my radio. i would wait 10 mins at a time for gsm. if it doesnt move by then its froze. reset and try again

I think that my radio bootloader is dead, because when I try in mtty rtask a and then rversion I get nothing in USB monitor. Is my radio bootloader dead, and is there now a soluiotn for recovering radio bootloader?
Well based on what others are saying in this thread; yes, you flash the radio or rom via SD Card instead of activesync, and you do so by going into bootloader manually...read the thread.
I tried that, but its the same. It stops on 0%. I saw that others that had this problem had a functional radio bootloader (0107 or 0108). Mine is corrupt!
I have just downloaded and run this file with my phone attached to my computer and Activesync 4.5 running etc ->

It went ok to the point where it said Invalid Operator ID or something similar, in other words, silly old Orange have stopped the upgrade from going through somehow. What are my options now? I'm guessing its still possible to upgrade (although i don't know how, as i'm very novice at upgrading phones!)
please let me know what i can do now.

The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because you havent put HardSPL on, and your CID doesnt match that of a dopod device (see the filename). CID is something you NEED to know about before flashing stuff dude, the more reading you do the better you will understand the device and the flash process. These devices are shipped with a CID which restricts them to use only ROMs intended for them....so your device will only flash Orange ROMs in its current state.
ok i have got as far as flashing the Pro Black 3.0.1 rom, it went well, only thing was, the phone was still locked after the upgrade, so i just ran the v3a unlocker on it, and it has now been unlocked.
my question now is why did it change the radio? what radio is best for the SPV M3100?
I should mention i am in the UK.
What was the radio before? Check what your friend has as this may be the best. Don't go for the latest update and Make sure you use the sd card method to flash (less things go wrong as it is dependant on the sd card inserted in your phone and your battery being charged, NOT on a flaky usb cable and pc that can be pulled out or reset/turned off). This is the riskiest part to flash making almost 100% permanent bricks if there is a problem.
My advice, use the one that your friend is using (if he knows anything about flashing he probably is a ppc flashing junkie like just about everyone else here) and use the sd card method.
As a footnote, radio roms are carrier specific - your carrier decides what is the best radio rom and using the wrong one means call dropouts and/or severe battery drainage or you.
Cheers...

very foolishly, before flashing the phone with the unlocker, i didnt check the radio ROM. (though i have a feeling it was around the 1.38-1.48 mark)
i'm on Vodafone though. Isn't there one standard radio (to rule them all) that most of us in the UK can get away with?
edit: im looking at the HTC Official Europe WM6 rom that comes with the built-in 1.48 radio, it would make sense that they know what the best radio is, since they make the phones...

after much reading of the threads on this forum, its starting to make sense.
one thing i still am not sure about is SSPL.
Should booting into the SSPL bootloader allow me to flash *any* rom, cos thats what this thread is claiming -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
but when i just now tried starting the SSPL-HERM.exe and then running the HTC WM6 firmware that i found through a bit of guesswork, it still got to the same Invalid Vender (sic) ID part!
Am i using the SSPL-HERM file the right way?
about the radio i am using vodafone as i unlocked my spv i have 1.47.30.10 found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326995
this is working well for me at the moment.
as for your question about flashing the roms i use the hard spl v7 which i flashed the offical htc rom with i then used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
to unlock my phone and super cid it i have since flashed black satin and schap's wm6 pro 4.31 and both went on fine
gd luck ask if ur not sure about any of this
Flash Hard SPL back on as it has been downgraded to 1.10 olipro instead of 2.10 olipro. This is for safeties sake.
You don't need to use sspl to flash os's from the sd card IF you have SPL 2.10 olipro installed. Just rename the .nbh file (on sd card) to hermimg.nbh and reboot into bootloader with sd card inserted. Too easy..

Ok, so just to tell you, I've searched and searched, but I do not get answers. This is my last resource.
K, I just got a Kaiser from atnt and I am going to use my old Cingular 8525 just for fun.
It still runs WM 5 so I want to upgrade it. It has a 2gig storage card and lots of apps on both mems.
So I got a few questions.
1) I've heard you can install other phone company's SIM cards, but you need to unlock the SIM first. Should I use a SIM unlocker? What does it do? Will it brick my phone? And what is a CID unlocker?
2) What is SPL? Hard SPL?
3) What is Radio?
4) What is the protocol version?
I want to upgrade to WM6, but are there any good roms?
5) How do I put all my other programs on to my phone after it is upgraded?
6) Id just like to know how to upgrade my Cingular 8525 to the best software there is.
EDIT:
So I read the Wiki and now, I just wanna flash to WM6.1 TOUCH Build20924 V27 from Dvha79_ddt
So what should I do?
Please tell if this is right.
Back up my SD card.
I will unlock SIM and CID. Click the .bat right?
I am going to install HardSPL f. Clk the .exe right?
I will download the BlackFull Bigstorage and just click the exe. Site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895
I will copy my backed up SD card onto my SD card.
Create the shortcuts and I am ready to go?
The Rom flashing will auto delete everything on my ppc right?
Thanks
1. yes, no, allows other carrier roms to be installed.
2. See cid unlocker. Install Hard SPL v7 after unlocking your sim.
3. Allows you to make and recive phone calls/mms/sms.
4. Do a search. Yes a heap, look in WM06 section, also wm6.1.
5. Install cabs.
6. Read this...

I still don't understand what Hard Spl does...
Gives you a chance to recover your phone if something goes wrong with the flash...
There is no 100% guarantee but at least you won't be on the forums crying for help because your Hermes is bricked and you can't fix it saying you haven't got Hard SPL installed...
ok guys im not a total noob in flashed but id like to be safe than sorry...so anyone can point the way to a step by step on hardspl hermes? lol this is well my forth fone being flashed(2x wizards,kaiser) killed my first wizard flashed G3 rom on a G4 i knw i knw i suck.lets hope that never happens again.anyway any feedback will help thankz.

ok thanks guys got my hermes yesterday and downloaded hard spl v7,quick question do i need to install sim and cid unlocker v3a or should i just run the hard spl Ruu and flash it?
1 more lame noob question lol do i have to flash my rom with the sd card method?
Sim and CID unlocker is required just to unlock ur ppc to use on any sim, as the super cid function is already merged in hard spl v7.
Try to use the sd card method, as the risk factor is minimal in this method as compared to active sync method. as there are may cases of broken usb connections here.
hey guys thanks i finally did it!!!! i used activesync method because only getting my sd card later on today,my bootloader is now ipl 1.04 spl 2.04 olipro. heres the steps i followed firstly downloaded hard spl v7,then fully connected to activesync,i ran the RUU but instead of getting the red option like everyone descriped it said "force sspl" anyway i continued and followed the prompts and it worked!! so now i got my herm200 ready to flash a custom rom.thanks to everyone who helped and happy flashing guys....one last question though now after i download a rom of my choice can i just run the RUU and flash it?
sorry posted my new spl wrong. its ipl 1.04 spl 2.10.olipro
Cool, yeah you should be able to though I'd use the sd card method to flash - just drop the steps using SSPL.exe... Its a hell of a lot safer and I wouldn't do it any other way for a radio rom, stuff up a radio rom flash you can pretty much kiss the phone functions goodbye...
Cheers...
