I have a unlocked att 8525 w/wm5. Ipl 1.04, SPL-1.40.01ipro, 2.10.01ipro. to use on a t-mobile network. Can I update straight to schaps wm6 4.31 rom and will I need to update the radio also? or does anyone now a company that will flash what I want for me?
As long as you have Hard SPL on your Hermes you can flash ANY Hermes rom. The radio you might need to do some reading about, I don't know what radio is good for your area. MAKE SURE YOU UPGRADE THE RADIO USING THE SD CARD METHOD... Its safer than through the PC, for roms as well as radio roms.

Hello,
I have a SPV M3100 and I upgraded to WM6. I flashed the spl and radio and followed the upgrade guide...
I want to put back my old spl and radio so I can send it back to Orange.
Before I had:
SPL: 1.04
Radio: 1.06.00.00
OS: Orange UK ROM
Now I have:
SPL: 1.40olipro
Radio: 1.38
OS: Orange UK ROM
The Orange UK ROM I used was the Reconstructed one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=278060&page=3
Stupidly, to put back everything I flashed spl 1.10.oli then flashed the full ROM but kept getting noGSM and then getting stuck in boot.
To get it working I had to upgrade to spl 1.40olipro again and flash radio 1.38...
I then extracted the radio from the ROM (as its the one I need) and tried flashing it with that but still had same noGSM error.
How can I get 1.06.00.00??? on the WIKI 1.06 is unavailable (which is why I extracted it from the ROM)
In the 'Standard Method' here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
it says... "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"
Can anyone advice me on this??? I do need SPL1.04 anyway as thats what orange shipped with my phone...
I dont know where to get SPL1.04 and is it correct that radio 1.06 can only be flashed on SPL1.04 and thats why im getting noGSM when I do it???
Thanks Everyone, these forums are great, after thinking I bricked my phone yesturday (flashing the full UK Orange ROM) and getting noGSM it is now fixed
P.S.
If I trust the stuff in the Full Orange ROM I used.... I extracted the SPL too which says its 1.04.
I want to try flashing SPL 1.04 first then the radio, but been advised not to? Everyone says flash SPL last! But I dont see how if it says: "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"
The problem you are having is that radio 1.38.x.x will have flashed the updated Radio bootloader to HTC_BOOT 108.
Reflashing 1.06.0.0 will not downgrade the bootloader to the required 107, and afaik there currently is no way to downgrade the radio BL.
You should still be able to use the Orange ROM with the updated radio, and if you have to do a orange warranty call, it's unlikely they will complain.
@dlfranks: Read here:

@oliber: he's wanting to go to a radio with htc_boot 0106, probably that's not possible when you've already flashed 0108. I never tried this, but it seems that two users are having the same issue, so probably once you have 0108 you can only downgrade to radios with 0107 (but keeping 0108 on your phone, that is).
thanks
thanks guys, that makes sense. I think ill try the other radio. basicly i have only had it a few days and want to try a difo phone, there happy to swap it in the first 7 days... i just dont want them complaining i messed around with it...
want to make it look as much untampered with as poss!!
at least i got the orange rom on there, it looks good.
if i get the radio to the lowest one i can, how do i go about getting spl1.04 back on my phone. i have read the hard spl threads but cant work it out. i have 1.40olipro. do i downgrade to 1.10.oli then to 1.04? or to 1.06 then 1.04. what order?
I extracted the spl1.04 rom the orange rom i used...
thanks for your help again

first flash HardSPL-1.10, then flash 1.04. Never go to 1.06.
Hey people, Ive noticed a few problems with people upgrading to HardSPL and new radio etc... then not being able to flash a newer WM5 rom, since the RUU doesnt like the new SPL version.
So ive written a "Safe WM5 Flashing Guide" to help people on the way.
You will find it HERE. A bit of feedback would be great.
you should add a warning to this:
There are some old WM5 roms with old radios on them which have radio bootloader 0106, people who have flashed radios > 1.27 on their hermes got radio bootloader 0108. Those will get a "No GSM" error when flashing a 0106 radio, so if they want to downgrade to original rom they can't put the original radio on the device.
Hello,
Just unlocked both sim and cid, and installed tnt 1933 touch flo rom, no problems on the install, expect for that my cell phone does not work.
I know I might have to update the radio rom, and anyone please explain the procedure and the file needed, read, but confused.
current:
G4
ipl 2.21.001
spl 2.21.olip
gsm 02.25.11
os 11.0.0.1
s.thakur
I just upgrade and notice the bug too. My phone works sometime, but I cant end the call! and some sms are not being rec'd.
TNT.1933 is known to have problems for some Radio ROMs.
Either choose other ROM or try other Radio ROMs until the problem goes away (There is no recommended radio version because it depends on your carrier)
For what I know, this is link to the newest Radio ROM available (2.71.11).
In the thread it's written it is g4 safe.
So I think you can flash it to your device plain and simple.
But I am not pretty sure if you need to use the RUU provided or the Mun's RUU from the Hard SPL thread...
EDIT:
I have flawlessy performed Radio upgrade to 2.71.11
I can now confirm it's g4 safe... just start the romupdateutility and follow the instructions...
No need to change RUU from the one included in rar archive for my G4 HardSPL.
i have a Telus & HTC P4000 tytn.
running
(from boot loader)boot screen)
spl 2.07.0000
cpld-9
(boot screen)
r 3.42.040
d 3.54
(device information)
rom 3.54.661.1
radio 3.42.40
and i want to update my rom to
DCD titan 3.26 with a radio of titian radio rom 3.42.50 and nuespltitan100-2.47-pack
i THINK i have all the files i need
and i THINK i know which order to do them in.
i install the
nuespltitan100-2.47-pack
spl (boot loader) upgrade first
then run the radio rom next ( from a micro sd card right?)
then the dcd titan 3.26 rom last (once again from a micro sd card??)
i am a bit confused and could really use a step by step guide for each upgrade
as im not real sure what could go wrong.
one last inportant point.. on the titan wiki it says to
" Always keep a record of your phone's ESN, MSID, Security, EPST, and M. IP settings in case a flash reprograms your phone."
and i have not found the security or epst m and ip settings (found the others)
and it says
"if it is 1.04, 1.06, or 2.07 then you must unlock your phone and upgrade to 2.40 or 2.47. Olipro 1.20 is not necessary at all when using newer ROMs/Radios."
how do i unlock the phone for the upgrade to 2.47?
( i just cant find any unlock other than http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332381&highlight=unlock but i think that any spl update is considered an unlock..)
please help me help myself not brick my phone.

Hi,
I have a touch dual running 6.1 which I unlocked but installed the incorrect radio back onto so now it doesn't ring.
After unlocking I upgraded sspl 1.16.exe and now have spl 1.16 hard which won't let me install the radio version I need 1.58.16.27 (this version is running on another phone with the same set up but is locked.)
I have seen with on these pages instructions like run uspl then spl1.15 but these don't seem to work for me. I flashed the rom but still have spl 1.16 hard although I am informed that the device is "Test only not for sale" on boot up.
Is there a sure fire way of downgrading or is there a way of reinstalling the correct radio in spl 1.16.
Am I doing something completely wrong. Thanks for any and all information.

Don't worry buddy, just flash a rom with a radio, or flash another radio and your device will ring again, for Niki roms with radio take a look HERE
Goodluck,
Worked a charm
Thanks for taking the time.
