Hey Grafin
I've noticed you already start 2 threads for your phone, in the other thread you asked which model you have.
To help you we have to know which model it is you can see it when you pull out the battery, there it shows wich model your phone is.
And give some more info which rom and radio you are using.
Btw use the search button there is always a thread that could help you and ask a question in the right thread, by just starting a new thread it will be difficult for someone else to find the right thread because there are so many of the threads that are almost the same.
Regards, Rataplan
This happens when you combine an older ROM (original?!?) with a new Radio(1.65.xx or greater). See the stickies thread about it:
Radios they work with new Drivers on HTC Niki:
Use Kaiser/Niki eMonster Drivers or from HTC Neon!
Some user Reports problem with her "eMobile S12HT" - NIKI500 - i havent enough infos in the moment! Dont overwrite your Original OS and Radio.
RUU Nike Radio 1.65.14.06K
RUU Nike Radio 1.65.24.36
RUU Nike Radio 1.71.09.01K "Highly Recommended"

Older ROMs lack those new drivers.

hello everyone!
i have bought a HTC Hermes from eBay and hopefully will receive the device soon. As I want to be prepared, when my new toy arrives, I have already started to read thru the Wiki and the Forums! I know, that the experts, which have been posting here for years now, want every beginner to RTFW and to use the search function and so on. What some mebers here don't seem to understand, that such a huge amount of information, which is often unstructured, easily misunderstood and/or simply outdated, is almost impossible to overcome!
personally, i am sure i learned a lot by reading thru xda-devs for sevreal days. but nevertheless, all this different information leaves me just confused and unsecure. seriously, i dont want to take any chances of bricking my pda!
so my appeal is to sum up some basic information regarding flashing & upgrading. and to make sure that i dont make any mistakes i ask all of you to correct me if i am wrong (which i am most likly going to be a couple of times).
ok. lets go!
basically i believe, that since latest developments
( --> "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a" & --> "Hard-SPL V7"),
almost all Hermes versions can be UNLOCKED & UPGRADED safely, regardless of what bootloader version they are running....
true?
so all I need to upgrade to my phone to the latest versions is
HardSLP, the UNLOCKER and the ROMs I want to install!
true?
using those new tools mentioned above, downgrading to official 1.04 SLP rom versions (?!) to upgrade IS NOT necessary anymore.
true?
if my phone is once prepared with the two tools mentioned above, it is ready to get flashed again and again.... using those tools is a one time thing, which has to be done first time flashing.
true?
i have some questions as well you could help me with!
in what order should I start working?
what are the first steps? (which tool is used first?)
what are the major mistakes i could make to brick my device, even if i use the newest tools...?
i really hope that some people will understand my problems and try help me!
i would really like to contribute to the forums and if this wokrs out as i imagine, it could result in a new and up to date beginners guide!
thanks for reading!
please help!
regards,krz
Personally....
1) unlock as I believe it actually upgrades your SPL to 1.40. This is fine BUT if you've put Hard SPL ver 7 on then you have to run it again.
2) Hard SPL Ver7. You can put version 9 on BUT its for developers & really doesn't help the person who wants to just flash. It also throws up an error message after flashing that can be worrisome. No problem but apparently it needs fixing.
3) Find a rom you like - Only a hermes rom... If you find a rom you like for another Phone and they try to flash this you can be assured of an instant brick. Its like throwing an english speaking person into another country where no english is spoken. BIG TROUBLE... and unlike a person, the phone won't adapt and learn.
Check the forum for a rom you like, I can guarantee there is no "perfect rom" and sooner than later something else will come along that MUST be tried... Start with wm 6 as these are known to be stable and cut your teeth with these before venturing into the deep waters of 6.1. When you're confident flashing and troubleshooting these, then try wm6.1 as some work and research will/may be necessary to get these roms working stable.
4) Have fun....
Cheers...
thank you ultramag69!
unfortuneatly, noone else seems to want to help me here...
well, i'll keep on trying...
i had time for some further reading.
it seems, that I would not necessarily need the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker, if my phone was NOT simlocked.
instead of that, i could use the latest version of HardSPL to make it SuperCID!
RIGHT OR WRONG?
[btw: what excacty is the difference between SPL & MFG? what is a mfg anyway?]
I found THIS GUIDE while reading the forums.
* Housekeeping
* Flashing HardSPL
* Upgrading the Radio
* Upgrading to ______ WM6
* Programs and Settings
no matter what ROM version, bootloader, radio, etc. my phone is, following this guide would always work!
RIGHT OR WRONG?
if NOT, when wouldn't it?
what exceptions are there?
again, please be so kind and comment on this. i would realy be glad to be absolutely sure in what i am going to have to do!
there is still some insecurity left, please help me to make things a little clearer for me!
thank you in advance!
regards,
krz
Try reading 1st age of this thread.... Guides by MrVanx... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462&page=34
As for Hard SPL, you can flash ANY HERMES rom... DONT TRY TO FLASH ANY OTHER ROMS.... Also, remember always that Hard SPL ISNT a guarantee not to brick your phone, its a safety net to help you when (and if you get to flashing alot) things go splat. It means that fixing a brick is put back into the realms of possibility instead of you now owning a very expensive paperweight. Please remember too that upgrading your radio rom is the riskiest thing to do on your hermes. most bricks come about because the radio rom gets corrupted & CANT be fixed... Hard SPL or no...As the saying goes, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". depending where you are in the world depends on which radio rom is best... research first and dont overflash this. If in Oz then 1.54.30.10 is selected by Testra. Seems to be ok...
Hope this isnt too much for you to digest...
thank you again ultramag!

that's clear. of course i meant any HERMES Roms regardless of version number, etc. ROMs of other devices (eg. Wizard, Kaiser) are of course NOT compatible...
i just wanted to double check, that downgrading to a certain bootloader is not necessary anymore in times of HardSLP v7...?

i'm curious, why upgrading the radio ROM is that riskiy or some much riskier that upgrading the windows ROM for example. is it only, because it can't be fixed when flashing goes wrong? or is flashing the radio rom more likely to go wrong than flashing WindowsROM ?

Just the guides... Helped me lotsa times...
Downgrading your SPL from 2.10 isn't the best idea if you are gonna flash a lot a It is a safety net. If you do want to downgrade SPL you can, there is a guide in the wiki.
When the radio rom upgrading goes wrong it seems to be that the memory itself becomes corrupted. There are plenty of "fixes" BUT they seem to work erratically. The os is completely wiped and rewritten and doesn't seem to be affected by these "unrecoverable bad blocks". It can still be screwed up but is more tolerant of errors and can be repaired easily enough using MTTY(do search on wiki).
Read some of the posts about people who've bricked their phone & you'll see that MOST people who cant recover their Hermes have screwed up their radio... ie. phone displays "No GSM". Most can still use the PDA part of the Hermes BUT it won't make calls again so is considered a brick.
Most cooked roms DON'T contain the radio rom.
As for "Yes/No Answers", Yes you are partially right and no, you are partly wrong. Did that clear that up???

totally!
i know that i know nothing!
anyways, thanks for trying. i think it kinda worked....
i flashed the Blue Angel and the Wizard a couple of times without any problems... my PC even crashed once while flashing the wizard.... fortuneatly i could reflash it afterwards..... i thought flashing the HERMES could be more of a hustle... ?
regarding the RADIO ROM: i guess, i will avoid flashing the radio too often!
btw: i am from AUSTRIA, Europe, and I am using the telering/t-mobile network!
recommending me a good RADIO ROM for telering/t-mobile austria would be very much appreciatiaed!
after all, flashing from SD card instead of flashing via an USB connection seems to be recommendeable regarding safety issues! i shall consider that as well!
breaking it down:
1) use HardSPL to upgrade ROMs (instead of downgrading to official SPLs, which are flashable...)
2) dont upgrade the radio too much. find the best one for your provider, flash it once, keep it if it works!
3) safety first! use the SD card for flashing instead of the PC and USB connection.
aight?

Soon grasshopper, you will take over.....answering these questions...
As for radio rom, sorry, but I'm in Australia, ass end of the world where all the crap phones turn up. REALLY happy to find a FANTASTIC phone in the Hermes.....
hello again....
i want to start flashing soon, but there are still some things unclear.
regarding the AKU: i read about AKu in the forums, but i am still not sure about it....
when i upgrade to windows mobile 06 for example, is there a AKU included?
only in official ROMs?
or do i have to upgrade AKUs seperatly?
could anyone at least briefly answer my questions and maybe even try to explain the whole AKU stuff for me again...
would be awesome!
thx in advamce

ps: the more i read in the wiki, the more confused i get... all this outdated information is confusing me more and more... it is really hard to catch up here. specially when all u get is a "gofckyourselfandreadthewiki"-post

You're just getting information overload, If you searched for "What is AKU" using google you'd have got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1445514&postcount=1
Just follow Mr Vanx's Guide http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=26 or else http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1186163&postcount=1 from start to end & you should have a successful flash. This link is also very handy for beginners http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1465974&postcount=1
Just remember if you intend to flash one of the WM6.1 Roms, many of the members feel that it is best to flash an official carrier Rom before flashing your selected Rom to prevent H/R issues. Happy Flashing!
First post, alots of great info here (I've read and read) all week)
I got a htc 6800 from celluar south last week (there newest phone out) the software is almost a year old already Rom 2.17/Radio 1.69 (tita 100)
1st ? I want to know if I can get the internal GPS going ( does have the gps icon in progams listed)
2nd ? I read about unlockers not sure which one (2.40 I think is the one I need)
3rd ? Is there a newbie forum about this info, where You can ask about this
even if it might have already been posted before
4th ? I typed in celluar south in the search engine,not alot info about them, but alot about bell,alltell,sprint,verizon etc.
If this is posted in the wrong area , mods please move it
I'm game on reading some more but anxious to get started upgrading
about what will work.
I'm have windows Xp on my home pc, active sync is installed
If I unlock the phone tonight , nothing else, will the phone still work with original software ( If so, I will atleast be heading in the right direction)
Thanks for any input or links to read or download

That icon is for external GPS devices and is for choosing the port of said external GPS device. These settings WILL have an effect on your internal GPS, but DCD's rom will get those settings correct for you.

2.40 or 2.47 is what you're looking for and is definitely where you start.

Not entirely sure about this carrier. DCD's ROM's require a custom carrier cab to enter proper settings. These are available here:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers/
I don't see cellular south but maybe another one is similar? I'm not that knowledgeable about all the different carriers.
If I unlock the phone tonight , nothing else, will the phone still work with original software
Click to expand...

It's been so long since I flashed my BL I've forgotten now, but I think the original ROM will work. Regardless, it really doesn't make much sense to unlock the phone if you're not going to install a custom ROM on it. I would make sure you can get a carrier cab that will work with your provider first.
The original ROM will not work with an upgraded boot loader.... I suggest you do not upgrade yet until someone gets a dump of yer rom to make a carrier cab.....

You should probably be more specific as to what you are trying to develop. Are you trying to make your own rom, own apps, own themes or what?
A good place to start might be the xda encyclopedia to maybe get some info on things?

More or less I was contacted by a friend on PPC about seeing if I couldn't get this FM radio on the Pro working by fiddling with the SPL
SPL isn't a programming language, and its nothing to do with the FM Radio or creating a ROM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Program_Loader)
If you want to get your friends FM radio working:
1. Try standard debugging\tech support measures (are things plugged in, is there a special app for it, are you tuned to the correct frequency, etc)
2. If that fails, attempt to flash a new ROM
3. If no ROM has an FM Radio working (which I _seriously_ doubt) then find the dll that controls the FM Radio on another device and attempt to cook it into a ROM using a Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471288)
(Please do not reply asking how to cook a dll into a ROM - try it and find out! Worst you can do is to cause the device not to boot - which is easy to fix)
As a final note, when posting in a "developers" forum, using CSS as an example language that you know is not a good idea.
hello all, i have an att fuze and have some general questions hoping you all could answer them for me...i really need them answered and would appreciate if you all could help...i cant search for all the answers and i have a great general idea on how the fuze runs but still need support.. =]

The Radio is the heart of your cellular device. In the Raphael's case, the Radio (also called Stack) is comprised of circuitry to handle GSM, WDCMA, UTMS. The Raphael also includes Radio circuitry for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The answers to all your questions are here all you had to do was search and read. Do not start threads like this in the ROM development forum if you must please poste them in the General forum. I am closing this thread.

I want to buy a X7500 but before that I want to know something about the custom roms and installation; I will hope somebody could help me.
When I buy a branded version (like T-Mobile) could I unlock the device manually (if there is an SIM-lock)- is it easy?
Is it correct if I install a new SPL I could install the up to date original ROM from HTC (WM 6.0) on a branded device?
There are a lot of ROM here so I couldn't find one for me ...
Can somebody help me - I'm looking for a ROM (WM 6.1) that is very similar to the original ROM from the X7510 and not to much customized... (in german!!).
Many thanks and best Regards SavageDeath

Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
I think the answer to you in short is once you have unlocked and changed your SPL you can put on nearly any Athena rom you wish.
I give new people to this device such as yourself a link to pages you NEED! to read and UNDERSTAND! once you have it will answer all of the important questions you have. As with all PDA's a lack of understanding and making a mess of things will cause all sorts of problems. Read the WIKI HERE and all will be answered.

P.S. There is a ROM to suit nearly everyone on here I recon

Thanks a lot for your response!!
I think you're right - I read a lot in this athena forum this week and now I understand much more .
But one question is left all over the ROMS... are the X7500 drivers for the dpad (and VueFLO™) already in WM 6.1 ROMS integrated??? - Is this from ROM to ROM version different??
Best Regards SavageDeath!
VueFlow and all other drivers are working in WM6.1 and then some! such as by just turning the Athena through 90 degrees also turns the screen layout as well in Michy's roms. What do you mean by Dpad? each rom has different idea's in them, but all the hardware works in them all.

Thanks a lot again !!
Cool all hardware-buttons are fully integrated _ COOL!
Otherwise this means I can use VueFlow to scroll in browser and to turn the screen layout? Is this correct?
Because I think it's better to have the scroll functionality than to turn the screen.
