Hello guys, I was reading this forum's topics about flashing a new radio, so I downloaded the 1.17....(the newest) and sent to the SDHC, did the down volume button with reset, the tricolour appeared, and tryied to start flashin', going to a silver view, but with 0% it came back the tricolour and said: NOT ALLOW
WTF?
Have you run the HardSPL yet and unlocked the SPL?
HardSPL is ALWAYS Recommended when flashing something thats CUSTOM with exception of a ROM from your mobile carrier
Please utilitize the posted resources....
I am not going to repeat the questions / answers that you can find somewhere.
Must read:
1. the first few posts of the HardSPL thread....

2. the first few posts of the radio thread...

3. the first few posts of "Flashing your First GSM ROM" thread....

Please read FIRST, and THEN SEARCH those threads if you have questions. There is no need to start yet another thread because you haven't shown you have spend the effort in finding out yourself.
I have already flashed HardSPL one day, and by what I read, I need to flash it only one time, and the radio I am trying to flash is the original HTC radio, but the newest version... 1.17.....
Will I have to flash it again?
thanks

As long as u can confirm HardSPL is on your phone, there is no need to reflash it.

Hello,
I know this has been asked all over the place but I have read all the related downgrade threads and cant find what im looking for. (Just too confusing!)
OK yesturday I got a SPV M3100 from orange. Within 5 mins I had followed this guide to upgrade to WM6:
http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/wmxl/index.html
All went well! I flashed the SPL thing first, then the radio thing, and then the OS.
I am trying to downgrade now, as I am having second thoughts and having a few problems. I want to downgrade everything, the SPL, Radio and OS stuff.
This is what I had:
IPL - 1.01
SPL - 1.04
Radio: not sure
OS: WM5 with Orange stuff intergrated
I now have:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Radio: 1.38.00.10
OS: WMXL 0.20
I have read this guide about downgrading:
http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/Downgrade/index.html
I think I can follow it OK but it sounds confusing to me. He only really talkes about downgrading the OS. I want everything back to factory standard.
Theres all this talk about I have to downgrade to SPL 1.10 before I do anything. Some say force it. If it was 1.04 to start, why do i flash 1.10? Some say other stuff. Im just all confused! Can you do the whole lot in one flash? Do it seperately? What order?
Again really sorry for this random post, im just really stuck
Thanks

IF you read the guide it takes you through downgrading the OS,extrom and the two splashscreens.
You do the same procedure again for the radio and IPL/SPL, but make sure you do the SPL and IPL last.
Or you could do a different procedure where you flash 1.10.oli (SPL) to the device, then you can run a full flash all at once, is up to you.
thanks.
So I flash 1.10Olipro first (sorry where do i get this?)
Then I flash the Orange ROM from the wiki? This then puts the old radio, spl and os on?
does the orange rom force all the old stuff back on if the spl is 1.10 or something
Am i still following the same downgrade guide?
wish there was a guide just for me!!! lol

you have any tips for me having one yourself?
I want it all back to normal just incase I decide to send it back...
Upgrade was so easy, just ran a bunch of files. The downgrade one you have to extract, copy, move, compile and do all these things
If i put on 1.10oli will the phone still work with wm6?
then i do the downgrade guide and use the orange rom, how do i get it to downgrade all 3 things?
why cant it be as easy as flashing a normal phone like K800i lol

Well, I could give you a pointer to what to avoid doing, from "my mates" <cough> own harsh learn -the-hard-way experience. Let me have a trawl thru what "he" did recently the resulted in a Brick...
I take it your not looking to do this any time soon?
i want to do it today, just incase i decide to send it back to orange.
i just wanna know what steps to take how to get it all back to the way orange sent it to me.
i just went to start the downgrade sing the downgrade guide, but the only orange rom on the wiki is romanion or something and its orange008. so confusing!!!!!!
i dont understand
OK, there isnt a guide on this because its a more advanced thing to do. You REALLY should read up in the HardSPL thread and etc... before you do this:
download SPL 1.10.oli, unzip and run ROMUpgradeUT this will flash the SPL to the device. Then just download a ROM (such as an orange one) and run it. the ROM will downgrade everything.
Actually it is dangerous to downgrade using a full ROM without Hard spl1.40olipro which will protect you from bricking your device.
If you really want to do it then
1- Do as mrvanx guide to downgrade only the OS.
2- Do as mrvanx guide to downgrade only the Radio.
3- Download 1.10oli which will replace 1.40oli and I think it is the only way to do it.
4- Do as mrvanx guide to downgrade only the Spl.
I don't advice you to downgrade the radio as the shipped one is terrible.
Read Hard spl thread before you start your downgrade process.

Sh1t - Which Orange ROM?
What Bootloader version is now on the phone?
the Thread at the top of this forum is a good place to start - "dead hermes? corrupted radio? Post comments here"
Does it by any chance also say "No Gsm" on the orange screen briefly as it boots..
(I hope not....)

hope you can help
thanks
Can you double check the boot loader version?
Coz I thought that Rom downgraded it too.
Best place to start, then, is the thread I mentioned. There is a table of what to do under certain circumstances.
Problem I was involved with, only option was repair. But with an Oli bootloader you should be ok.
the bootloader is defo 1.10.oli
i was expecting the rom to downgrade it too
i have put a post into that thread you said. its number 979
i have phoned orange and there happy to replace it tomo morning, if i fix it tonight then i just wont accept the new one... if not ill take risk of having replacement and them not contacting me about it
anything you can suggest? really appriciate any help!
i dont see how you can flash it again with difo boot loader as none of the tools recognise it now?
thanks
Is there a way I can unlock my hermes whilst keeping the newest radio (1.54.00.10)?
Yes, load hard spl ver.7 on then pick a rom, any rom that doesnt upgrade the radio rom. Most cooked roms don't have the radio cooked in. Happy upgrading.

VERY incorrect reply.
@ TheOracle
The radio version used in pofs unlocker has been modified to allow CID/SIM unlocking so you must use the package provided in the thread there.
I can't seem to find the thread, I'll keep looking though I'm probably being stupid! Thanks for the help =D
Well I've just unlocked the phone again with CID-Unlock V3a, however it's stuck me with Radio 1.16 . Could I still use Herm_Unlock_v3 etc with the newest radio or will it brick if I don't use Radio 1.16?
Here are the steps needed
1 Download and unzip the unlocker. All of the instructions are included on the zip file. Follow it closely. Read the thread for instructions and common mistakes before you do it. The program will install radio 1.16 which you'll replace with step number 3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
2. Install hardspl. Use this guide by mrvanx. Very straightforward. Use a computer with xp, avoid vista.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
3. Download your radio rom here and install.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Go back to mrvanx guide on installing radios. Read all the threads and understand what is needed for each step to safely upgrade your device. If you're not sure, it's better to ask again on this thread. I hope this helps and good luck
Also, I think you can ask where you bought the phone to get an unlock code? I know at&t will do it with conditions.

I always unlock using the manual method, so for the last step I transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe to my device and run it. Click the unlock button, then select sim and super cid unlock.
Follow the steps I've provided, you should be fine
For future reference, here's mrvanx's hermes guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
If you decide to upgrade your rom as well, the guide will be a great help.
Okay I tried this once and believe I may have done it in the wrong order. I flashed the newest radio from dcd's list .50? before flashing the rom. was that wrong?
I ended up not being able to boot past the verizon splash screen.
also if I flash the rom first will it boot the os just with out a functioning radio? that way I can then just rename the radio image on my sd card from the phone and flash again?.
....Read the Titan Wiki.
....also before posting a new thread read existing threads where others may be EXACTLY where you are and stated the resolution -- here's a direct link to a only 9 hour old first page thread entitled 'Titan Upgrade help... ' that did just that.
...Also take to heart of a pertinent point from a leading forum sticky thread, 'NEED HELP?? LOOKING FOR GUIDES?? NEW?? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting:'
Rather than rushing to post a new thread and then wait....you may solve problems more quickly by reading our recorded solutions to common issues, links to required files, and have guides to follow that have been compiled and edited by many of us.

...and finally to another leading sticky thread 'Official Titan Rom/Radio/SPL Compatibility List - PLEASE READ BEFORE FLASHING!!':
Failure to comply with this list may result in non working phone/data, may cause your device to enter into a reboot loop, or you may not be able to boot at all!!

I've looked through these links and not come across any that answer my question.
Can I flash everything from my phone without ever using activesync or a pc. what I don't know is if I can flash the rom then the radio all from my phone.
If you use 2.47 bootloader, which runs from the phone, then the rom and radio can be both flashed from the SD card. Then theoretically you can flash all 3 from the phone without needing activesync.
That said, if you are trying to flash back to stock, then the answer is no, because as far as I know there isn't a way to flash back the stock bootloaded without activesync.
BTC
how would it be done? I know to make sure the radio image is named titaimg.nbh
but does the roms image also need to be named that?
Yes they do.

You can flash back to stock from the card using Nuespl re-locker 2.07....
Do you have the correct bootloader installed?
I do completely apologize but hope someone can help.
I've been through the wiki, I've search for "revert to factory rom fuze" "download factory raphael rom" etc etc etc. Why can I not find the instructions on reverting back to factory Roms? I see "where to download" them but cannot find a wiki on the procedure for warranty replacement.
I'm sure I'll get flamed but I really can't find it.
Thanks for the help.
Change back to original SPL - See Olipro's HardSPL thread for that.
Flash AT&T Shipped ROM
Done.

Not if you are flashing the shipped ROM that came with your device. You shouldn't have the upgrade 262 error being that you are flashing the ROM that came with your device.
How am I wrong? Either way will work.

First, why are you arguing with someone who obviously knows more about it than you?
Second, it doesn't matter when you flash the new SPL if you're flashing the one from that rom.
arguing? i read a huge thread about some guy who didn't do the SPL last and screwed up his device so i didn't want this guy to do the same.
lol arguing. wow, lighten up.

OliNex said:
UPDATE: STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.90.0000.
that's it.

Because you got the information you needed, and because apparently you are a moron (note: I rarely accuse users of this so feel particularly special.) I am closing this thread before you do something else stupid.
Side Note: if you knew where Oli posted how to revert your rom, then why did you start a new thread for the issue. I honestly have half a mind to ban you for not reading AND then choosing to be an idiot on top of it.
I really don't wanna mess up my phone so I was wondering in what order am I supposed to flash the Radio and Rom after HSPL3? I have a T-mo HD2 with 2.08.hspl. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
it doesn't matter , once you HSPL then u could flash which ever steps u want to do first, rom or radio
This is the wrong section. Ask questtions IN uestion and answer.
It doesnnt really mater what order u flash. Read thw forums. My suggestion is to use task29 toflash the radio then flash the rom
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It doesn't matter which u do first. I always do radio, task29, Rom, then hard reset (when I do a radio flash @ same time as Rom). I always flash from bootloader rather then winmo. Of course if you don't feel comfortable with this then don't do it.. I was nervous the first time (lol) too.. just take ur time it time read and understand the stickies
(darn I'm slow every1 writing replies @ once)
Sent from my Mytouch HD2
Thanks guys I appreciate all the help. I ended up finding this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477 and flashed from the SD card rather than the RUU (Was having error codes.) It's seems to be updating fine now.
Ok everything went fine I'm using Chuckydroid and I am at radio 2.12.50.02_2 but now Android isn't booting up :/. It's stuck at the black and white text screen after Haret is ran.
I have flashed a froyo rom to my HD2, i had to look several forums and youtube movies to exactly find out how its done. First update de hspl 2.08.hspl is right, i read you have got the right one. Than use MGLDR 111 or higher, install this. Make sure youre device is boot up with volume down, in bootloader menu choose usb flasher. Use the DAF file thats with the NAND en upgrade the phone. If you get a usb false than you havent got the right radio.
