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...

I have been there mrvanx guide. but he don't have the solution to this problem. Just to downgrade the rom to wm5 not the SPL.
mysharif i think we have to shout again.
Help us anybody there we are stuck here.
OK guys the SPL downgrade can be done by downgrading to SPL 1.10.oli then flash any ROM with SPL 1.04 in it.
The only reason i can see that you wish to downgrade to 1.04 is because of a warranty issue. What is the problem with your devices??
You are great. I hope it will work for my Imate JasJam. Last night I was flashing my ROM with the original ROM but modified with NBH decomplie too by dutty. Before that I wrecked my device as I used the flashing of ROM using the latest sensation of loading the SSPL to RAM by des. That was my mistake that I used the original ROM. Then I removed the USB cable as it was taking too much time and because of danger to my imate I did that. Anyhow I got the NO GSM error but then I ran the Dutty's WM6v2 cooked ROM and it fixes all the things I am using it now.
The reason for my Imate JasJam degrade is my jog is not working according to its function. You know jumping from field to field. I didn't found any of that problem solution till the page of 30 in threads and posts. I am searching but if anybody knows the link. Kindly help me. So that I will save a trip to see the warranty people. (here we don't have ladies receptionists )
Sorry for the stupid question, how do I downgrade from Oli 2.10 to Oli 1.10
Il write a guide on it...too many PMs about this.

I have the same problem. My touchscreen is dud and Softbank is very anal about the bootloader and warranty. im stuck with Olipro 2.10 and tried flashing the latest softbank rom. When i try via USB/Windows it gives me error 260.
Flashing with MicroSD works, but after a few attempts, its still Olipro bootloader...any ideas?

Ofcourse...because flashing an original RUU it doesnt recognise the new bootloader (Hence your 260 error), and HArdSPL doesnt allow itself to be overwritten by a retail RUU. IF you read through the HArdSPL threads you would know this.

Hmmm, just yesterday (Thursday) I was asked by a VP at our company if that could be done. I was reluctant to say yes, but mrvanx comes thru with a fix.
The VP is in fact worried about having to return some devices to Vodafone, and he want to make them look "original" when they go back.

Just flash SPL 1.10.oli.......................then flash a vodaphone ROM, dont use 'force SSPL', just use autodetect.
well to get spl 1.04 all u have to do is take rom koch and the wm5 rom u are downgrading to. first downgrade os. then take that rom and using rom koch split it into parts and just take the spl and make it into a nbh and use the custom ruu on here. select force sspl and itll make ur spl 1.04. this is a quick guide and do this at own risk. using this method i got my first 8525 to aku 3.5 att and original spl. if marvanx comfirms i didnt make any mistakes i can make a new thread with pics and all so we cna add this to resources and stop the questions.

Or you could just wait until my guide is finished??
You dont need to use the rom koch ... duttys nbh tool is far more appropriate for this since we aint doing any cooking.
yea your right I just wanted to reduce your work load.

Hi mrvanx, some input to go into your guide (in case you havent come across this yet).
While flashing 1.10Oli under Vista, users may run into a problem where after loading SSPL and the phone goes into (SSPL) bootloader mode, the RUU program cannot detect the phone and returns an error.
This is due to the Vista drivers for HTC USB Sync. The driver needs to be manually "updated" just like in your Vista flashing guide. In this case, while the phone is in SSPL bootloader mode, go into device manager, replace the default HTC USB Sync driver with the USBAS one from your Vista flashing guide.
Then soft reset the phone, and try again. Worked for me.
For some reason, SSPL bootloader may appear as a different device to Windows than the hard/standard bootloader, so even if the Vista procedure has been performed before, it looks like it needs to be done also for SSPL.
i posted this in the Unlocker thread....since i can't sim unlock my brand new 8525 can i at least make it SuperCID so that i can change my ROM to WM6...if so, do i just run the HARD SPL and upgrade my ROM from there or is there any intial steps i need to take to make it only SuperCID...TIA
am not sure about this but with mine, i did not have to do SUPERCID to update my ROM.. just went ahead and picked a ROM and i was all set. did not even sim unlock till much later.
i did do the hard spl step though as i think that is really mandatory before an initial update..
hope this helps..
I agree, U need to install hardspl (supercid not needed). Follow Mrvanx upgrade guides!!
Juz run the hard spl or get the 2.10 verison... you dont need to super cid or sim unlock ne thing... I never did with my 8525...if ur juz starting i suggest you to try vp3g first... becuz u dont have to do the at&t settings for mms and mediaNet if you have at&t... which is kinda easy to setup but juz to give u confident of flashing
hi all,
i've just bought a t-mobile vario 2
i;ve read the wiki & a few of the posts regarding upgrading
but to be honest it has so much information & sometimes the information is contradictory.. so it gets confusing
i've been using the uni for a year now
my point is
i want 2 upgrade my hermes 2 wm6
my boot screen says
herm300
IPL-1.01
SPL 1.40.Olipro
i can use a different/other sim card than t-mobile
how do i chek if my hermes is CID unlocked
and what radio i'm using & what's my bootloader number??
i try 2 read the splash screen after soft reset but the radio version goes away pretty fast
do i run POF's unlocker v3a? is it safe to run again, even if my phone is cid unlocked?
in order 2 upgrade 2 wm6
do i need to install olipros hard spl 2.10? and then run customruu?
this is what i mean by confusing?
i've upgraded my magician, uni & wizard
however they all had pretty easy/self explanatory directions?
i'm sorry for sounding like a noob, but its new territory....
thanx in advance
Is there a specific reason you want to CID the device? T-Mobile's data plan s pretty great so I have never seen the need to use another sim in my vario. You dont need to CID unlock to upgrade the rom.
As long as you have installed Olipro's spl to protect against bricking your phone it should be fairly safe to install a wm6 rom. If not, definitely install the current version of hard spl.
Once you have installed SPL, you then run the RUU.exe file that usually comes with the rom. Tha majority will have a tick box on the first page that says auto detect, which will check which version of spl you have installed and then run itself accordingly. It is best to have the current hardspl installed though.
Most of them dont touch your extended rom and only replace the OS rom contents. T-Mob's wm5 extended rom customizations wont work with wm6 anyway so you will need to go looking here for a cab file called (I Believe) tmobileukfixed.cab.
You will also need to look for newer versions of your pocket pc software as some older ones dont play nice with WM6.
Good luck, and if in doubt, read MrVanx's upgrade guide here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/

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...

All this was found with a simple search. I used the words Hermes upgrade instructions. Would be a good idea to learn how to use this to stop being flamed by people getting bombarded by these questions...
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, 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.
Cheers...
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?
