Hi All,
Yes I searched, could not find a helpful post that I could understand (unfortunately a lot of not-so-good english on these forums!).
I used the file 'windowsmobile2003se.exe' here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230279
It started loading fine, then when it came up with the progress bar to start updating, my device rebooted and is now stuck in bootloader.
When I try himaupgradeut.exe, it gives me a ERROR 101: Connection Error. USB is disabled in ActiveSync and I can see the device as "Microsoft USB Sync".
The USB still works (I can use mtty and xda2unlock in Windows XP and they both work fine). Is the device still recoverable?
I have hard reset (Power + Reset), removed and re-inserted battery and tried a normal reset, none of these work.
Can I please have some step-by-step instructions on how to recover the phone? The bootloader version is 1.06
Thanks.
can you get some pics?
Have you tryed leaving the battery out for 1 day or over night. Because that fixed some problems for me.
try it
flyboy
Yeah I've left the battery out overnight (about 12 hours to make sure the backup battery ran flat). It's still stuck on the boatloader.
It's just got the normal bootloader screen (Serial up top and 1.06 down the bottom) and this changes to USB when in the cradle, so the device seems to be fine.
Any ideas?
Solution found!
I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION FOR RECOVERING FROM BOOTLOADER!
Full props and thanks go to utak3r of buzzdev.net

Hi All,
I have made a script that people can use to easily flash their Himalaya without performing all the above steps manually.
My extreme and eternal thanks go to utak3r (from BuzzDev), xda-developers.com and buzzdev.net for building such great communities and for providing so much help and information (even if it is a little hard to follow sometimes!).
You can download it from;
http://members.iinet.net.au/~nomicakes/MakeSDBoot.zip
http://www.clonnyserver.com/uploads/tools/himalaya/MakeSDBoot.zip
The zip file contains the script and the tools neccesary to do this.
As above, if you aren't familar with flashing devices and the possible outcomes, DO NOT USE THIS TOOL.
Hi there,
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my Qtek 2020 to the last rom available but something went wrong and now my PPC only shows the bootloader screen.
After hours of researching on Google I found this forum and this topic. I tried to do what is in utak3r tutorial but I can't connect to my PPC using mtty (usb port can't open) and I don't know why. :\
When I try himaupgradeut.exe, it gives me a ERROR 101: Connection Error too...
And finally when I run this script made by Clontarf it fails on the last step on writing to the SD card. It gives me a Error - Access Denied.
I don't know how to solve this. Would you please help me?
Problem solved!

Can anyone help, desperately need a bootable SD card / ROM image for Chinese 2.20.07 rom please, to help recover XDA2 stuck in boot loader mode. Tried all other methods but it bombs out, and hope this will work as a last resort.
Any help or advice appreciated.

Hey
Your title post is very unclear.
Anyway you might want to try removing your battery for more than a half an hour.
Charge it using the cradle battery charger while you are at it.
Pop it back in and see what happens.
The unit is stuck in 'Serial/USB' Boot Loader mode ONLY.
When you try to do a re-flash using ANY version of the Flasher prog, and ANY rom, before you even get to the stage where it tells you on screen then version in phone, and to be upgraded etc, phone screen goes off completely and the program reports an fatetl error, do you wish to send to microsoft etc.
I thought I could try using the SD card with image on etc, simular to method described in another thread, but the image uploaded on the site is for only Tmoble devices etc.
This roms fails with Select=1 not allowed etc.
So I thought if someone has the same image but configered with the Chinese ID etc, it will override this error, hence this post.
I have tried all other methods, including removing battery etc, which all fail.

Looks to me like the problem is on your PC.
1.- If you have an old USB port/computer I strongly reccomend you to try another PC. My USB 2.0 PC failed miserably with many apps until I installed a cheap brand new internal USB card. ALL problems gone! (Original was a SYS chip on board, very bad...)
2.- Try a DIRECT USB port. DO NOT go through any kind of USB HUB.
3. Check other USB ports.
4.- Finally reboot and/or try any other method is those ones fail.
Our XDAII are sturdy devices, though they may fail.
Good luck!

Try to look into Wiki, like other members have suggested.
Then you might try to use the search functions in this forum.
And maybe after you have tried these options, you could look into similar cases - like for instance this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337003

Hello again.
Well, more than 24 hours have passed since my original posting and nothing! Many of you read my post, but nobody felt able or willing to offer to help.
So, terrified and having no clue as to what I was doing, after another day of work - success! Amazing! And, I think, more by luck than anything else...
I am going to list below what I did, in the hope that some other poor soul might find something useful in it.
But I cannot stop myself from saying that in this whole website I was unable to find a CLEAR, ORGANIZED and COMPLETE procedure or tutorial about how to upgrade the HTC Hermes - a great pity. It would be a worthwhile endeavour to produce such a document, in language that anybody could understand. No, not even the definitions in the Glossary are enough.
This is what I did:
Preliminaries
- Since I'm working on a Windows 7 Home Premium laptop, I have first installed new drivers for the Mobile Device ("x64 AS Drivers Win 7 Tested & Working") - useful info here: http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...flash-junkies-on-windows-mobile-phone-devices
This was done in preparation to installing Mitty.
Since these drivers are not signed, you have to restart the laptop, press F8, select to start windows without checking Digitally Signed Certificates
- Installed Mitty
- Installed Hard-SPL-V7 - this one seem to be permanent
- Then I tried to follow the Hermes Upgrade Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hermes_UpgradeGuide ) - no luck. No idea what was wrong, but in Step 7, I did not have any files named 00_IPL.nb, 01_SPL.nb to delete as per instructions, so I abandoned this course
What worked:
(still with Hard-SPL-V7 installed, still with drivers for Win 7 installed, still with laptop started with Windows - F8 - disable drivers signature checking)
- In the end, I downloaded 21501_1_Springtime.zip from http://www.ferretlife.com/josh/ (once again, many thanks to Hakim Rahman for pointing me to this ROM!)
- I unzipped the file in its own folder; this produced 2 files:
RUU_signed.nbh <= this is the actual update file
RUUWrapper.exe <= this is the program we have to run that will take the RUUWrapper.exe (after we rename it to HERMIMG.nbh) and apply it to the HTC Hermes
- I renamed RUU_signed.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh
- At this point:
I connected my Hermes to the laptop with the USB cable and waited until it was recognized and WMDC came up and connected to the Hermes
I configured WMDC for sync and partnership (did not check more than "Notes" for sync, since I was not really interested in any sync)
- I ran RUUWrapper.exe (from its folder on the laptop) and followed the prompts
○ => I chose proper ILP - for me it was IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.011pro (the AutoDetect did not work for me, whether I checked the "Is it a hard SPL?" or not)
○ => after program got to "Verifying ..." it produced Error 260 - at some point, the device was disconnected from WMDC (ActiveSync)
- All that is left is to shut down WMDC, soft-reset Hermes and try again. In one of the many tries, amazingly, it got to start the Upgrade on the Hermes before I got the Error 260, and, although the Error 260 was displayed, it continued with the upgrade and ended successfully, but it did not reboot the Hermes - I turned it off and on again - it worked!
Still confused, but elated by my luck,

Hello everybody!
I am a real, total, complete, hopeless, newbie and I'm writing in the hope that some kind soul with knowledge and experience in upgrading may be willing to hold my hand for updating the OS on my Hermes.
I have been reading the xda-developers.com on and off for about a week now and all I can say is:
1. I am awe-struck by the passion and knowledge of the people active on this site
2. I am overwhelmed by all I have read - I fear I do not understand much of it, certainly not enough as to have the courage to proceed with the update by myself
This is where I am now:
1. I have installed Mitty on my PC and even made it work (!)
2. I ran one of the many Hard-SPL-V7 to be found here and the bootloader screen did display the modified info; eventually, I clued in to the fact that the changes this software made to my HTC were only temporary
3. I regrouped and now:
- I have read more than once the Hermes Upgrade Guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hermes_UpgradeGuide
- I have downloaded and decompressed:
Hard-SPL.zip
[*]ModifiedRUUUpdater-V2 (ROMUpgradeUt.exe)
[*]NBHextract
[*]nbhgen0.1
[*]RUU_Hermes_WWE_WM6.5.28205.MobileVista6.50SeaDragon_UC_YouTube_V2_by_ansar
At this point, I'm ready to follow point by point the instructions in the Hermes Upgrade Guide, but I have a lot of questions about what each of these software is, what they do, how they should be installed or run.
Bottom line: I'm terrified!
That's why I would love to find a kind mentor and helper, to hold my hand and direct me in the actual upgrade.
Anybody? Please PM me. I am available on Skype. I live in Toronto, so my hour is same as New York.
I have an HTC Hermes 200 (TyTn), originally from Rogers (Canada). I had it unlocked (SIM unlock?) by a technician in a store a while back and I can use different SIM cards with it.
Very gratefully yours,
ML
P.S. Forgot to mention: I'm working on a Windows 7 Home Premium and I did update the drivers with "x64 AS Drivers Win 7 Tested & Working"
Goooooooooooood is it work with my herm 200
I sent a "Quick Reply" yesterday, but I can't see it anywhere - ?!
So here I go again. First of all, I want to thank you for writing - as you might have noticed, nobody else had anything to say in response to my post, certainly nobody offered to help.
Secondly, I'd like to ask if you installed Josh's "Springtime" ROM to your HTC Hermes and, if so, how is it working for you.
I'm having problems with it: various sounds (especially when booting, but not only), various "phantom screens", i.e. screens that flash so fast that I don't get to see what's on them, but appear empty. Also, today, when attempting to pair a BT headset, the device froze. The only way to fix it was a hard-reset, thus a reinstall of the ROM (lost all data...). Tried again the pairing with the Bluetooth headset - this time it worked. Loaded data again OK. Made a change in the order of the items in the Today screen OK. Tried to have a look at the insides of the device with "My Mobiler" and - without my actually doing anything, my Hermes is now - again! - frozen.
I'm getting fed up with this, it gives me no confidence at all in the ROM. Any thoughts?

to BT headset you can try the way of sas90850 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273105&page=2
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll check it out.
In the meantime, my HTC Hermes (with its new "Springtime" ROM, installed and re-installed several times) continues to freeze at various times, for no reason I can fathom. I'm not a happy camper...
Welcome to the comprehensive guide on rooting and unbricking your precious TF103C!
Some words of wisdom and truth
You will most likely be here because, you know, your device is bricked.
First of all, I would like to say that none of the downloadable links are made by me. I happened to find them laying around XDA after looking for a solution for a long time.
Skip this if you don't want to know the reason behind this thread
I got this device a while back (my guess is 4 months), and loved it from the start. Rooted it, of course, and soon after, it didn't want to boot anymore.
As there isn't much development going on (due to the locked bootloader), it's hard to find a solution for bricking. While scrolling, I came upon a post from member gouster3, which came to the solution below. I myself have used this successfully, and have my tablet back. In my opinion, also on rooting, there was no dedicated thread available that really explained the steps to root the device, so as a thank you to the guys who got my tablet fixed, here it is!
The rooting process
The rooting of this tablet is quite easy, really! I'll explain in a few simple steps.
Head into settings > security > then turn on unknown sources
Download the Rootzenfone .apk file. get it here
Install the app (if it is still in your notification bar you can just press the downloaded file, or you can navigate to it's location to install from there)
Turn on airplane mode before you open the app
Open the app, and hit "OK, I know, please root!" (when you press this, a number of screens and a popup will show, ignore those)
5 seconds after pressing, restart your tablet.
Hooray! You are now rooted!
Unbricking your device
Luckily, unbricking is almost as easy as rooting the phone, if you know the steps you have to follow. Here's what you could do (it worked for me) if you still have acces to DROIDboot.
As always, install the adb drivers first! get it here
# You can also make sure the correct driver is installed when plugging in the device in DROIDboot mode. In you device manager it should show up as Android Debug Bridge#
Download these files, containing a clean system. get it here
Make sure the device is turned off, and the battery is at least 50% (just to ensure a complete flash before your battery runs out)
Hold volume+ and power untill the asus screen pops up, then release the power button.
Plug in the tablet to your pc (usb cable) when DROIDboot has been loaded.
Open the downloaded folder, and find 'update_image.bat'
Right click the .bat file, and choose 'run as administrator'
A CMD screen should open on your PC indicating the flashing status. All you have to do now (assuming that it works as intended) is wait untill the process is completed.
Your tablet will reboot automatically when the process is done.
That's it! the 2 things that keep this tablet alive. I would like to send a thanks to the members who were so kind to help me out on this.
gouster3, for providing the link to the unbrick solution
Eclipse00, for giving the link to the rootzenfone apk
Monki, for giving me a clean system.img and putting effort into getting my tablet running again
To all of you, thanks!
It works on my TF103CX too. (it is same hardware).
When i bricked my TF103CX, i had around 80% of battery, but i was not able to charge,
so be careful when bricking. Always do interventions to system with full battery.
//I think, we need add our TF103C to xda device list. it will be nice.
I heared that using Intel Manufacting Tool we can get UEFI instead of Droidboot, and boot Ubuntu/Windows on IntelBay tablets. I found guide for Teclast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/teclast-x98-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035 But i cannot find any UEFI fot TF103C. I dont want to full brick m device with trying flash it.
Here is original thread in russian language.
Thanks
Thanks for helping me rescue my tablet. Much appreciated
Could anyone please confirm if the rooting method may be used on the TF103CG (K018) model? Or in general is the app able to root any device that is anyhow Zen-related?
this don´t work if you have lillipop on tf103c, the droidboot don´t load, You only get Fasboot starting and nothing more...
i want the raw lollipop image ( system.img ) for tf103c
will this essentially work as a factory reset? mine touch isn't working; and i just want to nuke all my data off the device
Hello all, I just ordered a TF0310C (Best Buy exclusive) from woot.com which will be here tomorrow and the closest thing I can find information on is the TF103C (both are Intel processors), and just trying to find as much info on it as I can. I was unable to find any roms or anything for the TF0310c, will things from the TF103C work on the TF0310C such as rooting or custom recovery at least?

I know its a bit late, but perhaps better than never. I'd say those devices are identical, but somehow there is a weird naming mixup. Here are the official ASUS pages for them:
http://www.asus.com/supportonly/ASUS Transformer Pad TF0310C/HelpDesk/
https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF103C/specifications/
Whatever you do on the first link, it will be eventually redirected to somewhere that belongs to the second. Their specifications are also basically the same. This is still a guessing game tough, so the best would be to compare 2 build properties, partition tables etc. of those devices to know more.
Rooting will most likely work, Zenroot should do it regardless of device type.
hello,
i have tried different way to unbrick my tf103c, but none is working
i have access to fastboot
i successfully run your bat file to copy the image, but after it reboot and stays on the "asus" logo
if i launch the command after modified the name of the "AS-TF103C-v67.43-capsule.bin" into "capsule.bin", it reboot then a blue progress bar is showing, when the bar is complete the tab reboots, but again it stays on the "asus" logo :'(
do you have any advise ?
Same issue
Hello,
I have the same issue with my tf103c ; i was trying to apply a new update from asus support (to get android 5).
It didn't work and in addition to that, my device results to be bricked.
I have successfully run the bat file, but then i get stuck at Asus logo and device never boot...
Icarolo did you manage to solve your issue ? Is someone really succeed in unbrick tf103c device ?
Thank you in advance
Dead
Hi! I have an asus tf103c and i rooted it with the rootzenfone.apk but now it doesn't turn on at all. after i pressed okay, waited about 15 sec and then i restarted it, but it just turned off. And now it's dead. What should i do?
ASUS K010 (TF103C). I forgot how to enter Recovery
Hello everyone, I have an ASUS K010 (TF103C). The complete model is TF103C-MB1-BLK-DK.
I forgot how to enter Recovery. My Asus is bricked. I know it is possible to enter the recovery because a few months ago I entered and also enter droidboot mode. On that occasion I discovered pressing the buttons energy, volume +, volume - somehow, because I did not work the methods that were in different sites websites, but now I do not remember the exact way of pressing the buttons. I tried many methods but they do not work, only the "Asus looking for incredible" logo appears. The battery has a charge (I charge it manually).
If someone has this same model and knows how to enter the recovery would greatly appreciate it.:good:
I think you can enter the droidboot menu by pressing Volume Up + Power for several secondes.
i dont have acces to DROIDboot.
How can unbrick my tf103c.. thanks

Unbricking tf103c
Hello,
Is it possible to unbrick somehow a device like mine. I dont have either bootloader or recovery or anything (I have two same tablets) and I mess one up. After new update touch screen stopped working so I installed something (I dont remember) i installed new recovery and then tried to install new rom...Every time I power it on (doesnt matter standar od with combos it just show asus logo in search of incredible and that's it. I managed if I press both VOL - and VOL + AND PWRBTN I get something in device manager "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"! Is there anything I can do?
