here is what I've done and what happened:
my ROM was HTC 1.18.255.3 07/22/06 with bootloader 1.04 then I ran "HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe" on the device but I didn't use "HTC_Hermes_Radio_for_SIMunlock_v1.16.00.69" to save time and i wanted a CID unlock only.
after "SUCCESS!" message from "HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe", I connected my device via USB to PC and started to upgrade to Cingular 1.31.502.1 08/30/06 with aku 2.6 and bootloader 1.06 but when I get the "ID ERROR",without disconnecting the USB, I switched back to ugrading to previous ROM HTC 1.18.255.3 and the Processe started with no problem untill 98%, then suddenly upgading interrupted a message came saying connection error or somting like that!
since then my device is stuck on windows mobile screen and I've tested solutions in the "Hermes_Upgrade Problems" page and tried using the "Hermes SD Card flashing" method, But It seems impossible to flash my phone agian.
Help me PLEASE,HELP
someone help me please!
POF can't you help me please
I think Pof is away until 3rd december, I have the similiar problems with my second hermes, if you have then use mtty to see if you have an corrupted cid using info 2.
Do you have the original rom to go back on if so that will fix your problem.
I've used mtty to send some commands to my device and it answers to some of them but It just stop responding when I type "info 2" or "info 3".
and i tried this in mtty:
"
USB>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x9FCC6BEB
SPL CRC checksum = 0x3BF03635
CE CRC checksum = 0xC0E1751A
ExtROM CRC checksum = Total Block= 1024
dwBlockIndex= 1024
Address Error1!!!
Get checksum ERROR!!!
0x0
Radio Image CRC checksum =
"
again It stop responding
also tried upgrading, no matter which ROM I try, it just can't connect to device.
and thanx for your relpy.
hi, since there is NO htc service center available around me I have to do something about it myself but my phone is still dead and I'm using a nokia 1101. PLEASE someone help me, pof are you back? can you help me?
I've tried all in this page:
"http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems"
and this one too:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280733"
and tested qtek 2020 rom but no use.
from what I've found out my device hang up and stop responding when it gets the "INFO 2" or "INFO 3" or "TASK 32" or perhaps any thing involving CID so no upgrading utility is able to connect to it, the only thing is to connect to it using "mtty.exe" which I've tried any command found here, but no use again.
and my SPL is 1.04
can anyone help me?

Wrong, you also need a patched radio to CID unlock. Running only the exe file without the patched radio has no effect on the unit.

Please attach usb monitor capture when trying to flash a ROM and a radio ROM. Otherwise can't help you.
here is exported files from usb-monitor:
and tanx for your reply
uuh... there must be something really wrong with it, no response to bootloader commands. If no sd card flashing is possible, I would suggest you to send it to service centre too.

It's a difficult option for me, as I should send it to a foreign country to service center,so are you sure there is no way like erasing somewhere using mtty?

HI,
I have same exactly problem on my spv m3100: since sept06 I've tried every kind of Unlock software,upgrade ROM and method found in xda..In mtty bootloader (spl 1.04) respond at every command but not "info 2","info 3" and "task 32".Sd card method works but if you try to upgrade other ROM,in your screen "loading..." and then "checking..." hangs on because the ROM upgrade must to match CID (I suppose..).I'll wait the next ROM Upgrade and ORANGE won't release it until gen07..

it seems your problem is like mine if so, I don't think ANY normal upgrade can solve your prolem 'cause it can't connect to it.
so don't wait and send your device to service center, if you can.
I'm in your same conditions:there's no repair center here so I have to wait Orange who release a upgrade Rom (I hope asap..).

Did you also read the wiki to see how to install hardspl to protect your device BEFORE flashing ?(here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )? Are you using Olipro hardspl?
Try to use the SDCARD method (Format a sdcard in FAT32. Copy the nbh file on it and rename it HERMIMG.NBH. Insert the card and HR : OK/POWER/Soft reset. Follow the instructions)
i tested that but didn't help
does anybody have any suggestion??
Try solution to reeboot ( sometimes helps)
1. get out SIM and SD card
get mtty http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9864
2. Make BL mode on Hermes
2a on PC ActiveSync - coonection properties untick allow to connect by USB
3. start mtty on PC , choose USB and enter.
4. next enter.
5. type set 14 and enter
6. type task 8 and enter
OS have to boot if no go to 7
7. enter
8 type set 16 and enter
9. type task 8 and enter
Hope that will boot
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Pretty much all the info on unbricking is in this table by Pof. If this doesn't sort you out then you're have to send it off to imeicheck etc for repair.
The history so far
I have bricked my jasjam while updating to telstra wm6
I have not super CID my device before upgrading to telstra wm6
Now my device freezed at second splash screen
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
NO GSM
when i used the info 6 command on mtty it says NO CID
i can not upgrade my device from SD CARD (memory stick)
i used these command on MTTY.exe but no improvement
set 14
task 8
set 16
task 8
when i tried to rom upgrade using any ruu (ruuwraper,.....) it only shows 1% and my device reboots and ....
any suggestions????
I hope you understand this, Basically if
1. You have a "No GSM"
2. Your CID is corrupted
3. Your OS has no KITL mode
4. You didn't use HARDSPL...
Then your phone is screwed, and you need to buy a new one or send it to repair.
Hope you have better luck with your next phone. (you seem to be collecting bricked phones!)

The offical I-mate telstra Jasjam rom for WM6 came out recently previous to that i just kept the original WM5 rom that it came with much to the dismay of my peers, actually considered it a few times but decided against it till the official rom came out.
yeah if you follow the instructions for the WM6 rom you use it should be ok however the "Murphys law" of programming tends to suggest there will always be an error that they dont allow for.

This has NOTHING to do with only using official Roms! One has pretty much the same chance of bricking their phone evening using an official WM6 as a cooked variant from Schaps et al..
Simply put if you don't use HardSPL then you're asking for trouble no matter what the ROM. You should also use the MicroSD wherever possible as it is much more reliable.

Hello everybody!
I unlock my S300 with the Wizard_CID_tool Lokiwiz02. It's a big mistake.
then,my S300(with SIM card in it) reset and says "data crashed,please contact your service center"(without SIM card is OK,not problem). So I want to update ROM to repair it. I use pdocwrite.exe to write the OS file,but failed and my s300 became a brick,it can't get into the OS,standing at the first flash picture.My s300 can get into three-color interface yet,but it can't be update with RUU,when RUU run to 4%, it stop automatically and say "ERROR[294]:INVALID VENDER ID(This Update Utility cannot be used for your Smartphone.Please check your Update Utility.)". I write the STARIMG.nbh file into a T-flash card to update S300,but s300 get into the three-color interface after says "checking SD contents".I don't know what to do with my s300.
Anybody can help me???
Are you using a genuine Dopod ROM? I think you need to use a genuine Dopod ROM. Nothing else is going to work due to CID checking.
Hi All,
I'm new to the PDA-world and the Hermes. I'm trying to Hard SPL my Hermes, but it fails everytime.
When I run 2.10 - Hard-SPL-V7, it kills activesync and my connection is lost and I get always the message "error 260, Update error".
I have the latest framework edition and tried it on 3 pc's (1 Vista, 2 XP)...
What am I doing wrong?
Hope somebody can help me....
Kind Regards,
Micha
1). dont connect to active sync. open active sync and untick "allow usb connections".
2). put hermes into bootloader and connect to usb.
3). run ruu_wrapper.exe
should update to hard spl....
dont forget to tick "allow usb connections" again or you wnot be able to sync..
error 260 is an open port error.
if you wish to flash new os would advise to use sd card method. its safer than using the computer. just make sure you have greater than 50% battery power. happy flashing
Thnx, will give it a try.
First I have to flash HardSPL before I can flash a new OS, don't I?
yep, sorry, should have said run the ruu_wrapper for hard spl. My bad...
im having the same problem. I also tried the way ultramag recommended but i also received the same ending. After time i try i get the Error 260 Update error. Im running SPL 2.04 and the HTC WM6 rom from the HTC website. Does any one know what the problem is?

NOOOOO, that won't work, you need the SSPL to deploy to the phone, if you're running stock HTC bootloader this won't work at all, otherwise we'd have no need for Hard-SPL
hey olipro, then how would i fix this. Im running the stock rom from the HTC website with no hacks. Im trying to load PDA Corners V9 rom. Any ideas on how to fix? thanks!
Take a peek at the guide i wrote about updating the hardspl. Theres some explanation about why we need to use SSPL and the procedures.
http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/hardspl
thats the guide i used. it still gives me the error. I even unchecked "allow connections" cause i read somewhere that that would help.
i did this two days ago on my phone, im running windows vista on my home laptop and got any number of errors and problems trying to do it via sync with the phone (even after reading the vista troubleshooter, with the drivers etc)
What i ended up using was the memory card upgrade, dump the file onto the memory card and go into bootloader with the card installed.
worked fine doing that way, maybe less risky as there is no chance of the usb cable coming out.
just make sure you have a good battery charge on the phone.
Help Help Help w bricked 8525
I got into this position trying to upgrade WM5 to WM6 from HTC site.
Process got to 20% and just stayed there.
I reconnected usb cable and got a vendor id error
Then I get the Error [260]: CONNECTION
I have read a lot of posts and have tried the sd method (although i am not 100% clear) and all i get is the screen with four colors, red, green blue and white.
I believe this is the bootloader? I have downloaded RUU_signed.nbh, renamed it to hermimg.nbh, installed on root of my SD card and held OK, soft reset and power button:
My display reads:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
This is where my journey ends.
All post indicate that the device can be reflashed and have the OS reinstalled. I can't get there from here.
Can anyone please help?

How big is your SD card? Flashing only works with cards <2GB. Also, sometimes certain cards just don't work for flashing, and just swapping to a different card fixes the problem.
I assume you searched the wiki, and found the relevant pages on the Hermes (including SD Card Flashing and other things about flashing/upgrading) there?
Still Lost
My SD is 2GB and I have tried many times but i just keep getting the 4 color screen. rt now when i boot from the SD my screen goes white and displays "Loading..." and then returns to bootloader screen. When i attempt to flash the rom via PC to WM5 or WM6 i get the Error 260, i also get a vendor ID error sometimes.
How can i find the key 8525 thread that i am told has the answer to my delima? I keep picking up bits and pieces but am missing some key steps and tips.

That sounds like the SD card is formatted incorrectly. Make sure it's formatted using fat32, nothing else will work.
Still not there from here
Thanks for your help. Before I formatted the SD FAT32, nothing would happen doing the bootloader reset. OK/ON/reset button.
After format and only the hermimg.nbh file renamed as indicated, I then get what looks like the loading process but back to the bootloader screen.
Q1: This is an AT&T 8525, it was perfectly fine before failure from WM5 to WM6 (process froze at 20%), what is the RUU file that I need to put on SD??
Q2: After "Loading ..." I try the WM5 PC upgrade of ROM via USB cable, I get the load process to appear to work but it gets to 1% and the phone reboots and the PC reports error [294]: Invalid vendor ID. If I do this again I will get the Error [260]. Ive repeated the process several times.
Is this the normal course to take or should the "SD Method" (with the WM5 or WM6 RUU.. file) complete the process to a working OS?
Q3: Is my situation hopeless? ATT will take my out of warrantee 8525 and reflash for $129. Reading the threads it seems that like me this can be done by me, this is my desire.
Q4: I still am confused by some basic terms and assumed steps. I dont understand "Hard SPL" or OLI's IPLs/SPLs and when and when to use them.
The newbe guide has been off line. I will look again. Is there a single place to read about "radio PDAs and the 8525 and understand the software build and custom options?
Sy for the long post. But still want to fix if possible or I will be force to mail in for ATT repair.
Thank you all.

Oh boy, you haven't installed HardSPL? You are walking a bit of a line there mate...
HardSPL is a custom boot loader that makes bricking your phone when flashing much harder to do, and helps large amounts in the recovery process if you phone does brick.
Does the phone boot at this point? If so, do not try flashing the phone again. Go get a copy of HardSPL and install it, then try flashing from the SD.
I still wonder why people didn't read before bricking...
Anyway, you should start reading now and wiki is your friend. Your SPL is 2.03, so look at the bottom of the page (there is only one solution till now, so good luck with that):
Code:
1. Boot OS using KITL+PB
2. Do no disconnect your HERMES till the end of the step 6
3. Download SSPL on HERMES by wifi from ie explorer
4. Launch SSPL then flash Hard-SPL from your computer
5. Put your hermes in bootloader mode
6. Flash any radio in NBH format from your computer
Still researching and working this bricked 8525
Thanks for coming to my aide. I believe that I have Hard SPL'd my device. I downloaded Olipro's Hard SPL v7. extracted the RUU_ file and renamed to hermimg.nbh.
I then put it on an SD card and held the keys and reset. The device displayed a white screen and "Loading..." appeared. Afterward the 8525 returned to the stipped boat loader screen and that is where I am now.
Some of the help i receive and read on wiki threads has me confused with what to do next and how "exactly" to do it.
It does seem that I am not alone and people have fixed their phones and the process to do this is on the forum. I'm just still missing something.
Help me further if u can.
Thank you.

FYI: bad form to PM someone and post the same thing here. Keep it in the thread so others can be helped as well.
As I replied in the PM, if I'm understanding your post correctly, the phone boots to the tri-colour screen?
What text is showing on the screen? This will tell if HardSPL is on the phone or not.

We already know that the phone is without HardSPL, according:
My display reads:

HERM100
SPL-2.03

There is small chance (read my previous post) to unbrick device with SPL2.03 so better try to get this back from where you take it.
And please, change topic, because this brick isn't HardSPL fault at all.

i'm trying with hard spl from Pof soft but error getting.
Can someone find a time to help me?
hallooo
experts please!
Hello haveri,
what ROM are you trying to start? I was stuck on HTC logo too, when I tried to start a ROM without installing Striped ROM first, which was highly needed. So I done hard reset(three color screen), and flashed again.
For starters, put in bootloader, connect to PC (1st untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync) and run Hard SPL V7. Install it on your Herms and hope it works because otherwise you are in for a whole heap of hairpulling frustration...
If you get Hard SPL onto your Hermes then use the sd card method to flash a new rom...
You could have avoided this by doing a little research instead of going full pelt into flashing, you Hard SPL BEFORE you get into trouble, NOT AFTER....
Hi guys,
I have a similar problem with a T-Mobile branded TyTn from a friend of mine who thought flashing ROMs without putting device into HardSPL would be clever.
The devices has also IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.03 and from the bootscreen it looks like WM5 should have been installed. I also get the "NO GSM" message and I REALLY tried every fking method but without success.
I even created a Goldcard (and verified on another device it's working, level 0 instead FF) and tried to flash several ROMs (also Cingular WM5 ROM and original german T-Mobile ROM) but no luck.
I also tried to run HardSPL V7 but as far as I remember it just said it cannot connect.
Funny thing: HardSPL V9 DOES start flashing and on the PDA and the PC the bar shows 100% but some moments later it says "Could not update" (or something like that).
I even tried different mtty methods from several posts from the forum (erasing the NAND on different ways, qtek loader method with erasing the first blocks) but I'm really really frustrated now and I believe there is no solution here?! (device has no guarentee)
So, if someone has ANY hint or useful information write it down or send me a PM.
I gladly appreciate your help and hope for a solution!
Cheers
P.S.: I couldn't find any information saying Goldcard method works (or even exists) for Hermes. Can someone confirm it does really work?
