I got a dopod 838 pro of a friend with wm5 and upgraded it to wm6. This worked fine but i wasn't happy with the way it was behaving so I downloaded a original rom from dopod asia. When I flashed it it completley it **** itself at radio flashing. It now boots and gets stuck on the windows mobile screen and won't do anything, i've tried tapping the screen, pushing every button and hard reset a few times. Could someone please help me, I used this thing every day before it bricked.
If you have Hard sPLed your phone to SPl 2.10 olipro, I'd suggest trying to flash a stock rom with the sd card to see if you can restore your radio rom. You may have corrupted it and it may never work as a phone again. I'd still try the stock rom then reflash what you want if it works... You can find the instructions for sd card flashing on the wiki with a quick search...
Hope this helps... Cheers
Dear Members,
I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"
Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).
On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]
I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.
After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.
Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.
Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.
Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.
I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.
Thanks for your time.

If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.
Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.
3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Again problem!
Dear ultramag69,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.
And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.
After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.
First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.
However, I got the erro 286
I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|
I don't know what to do with this dead device now !
Thank you very very much for your time and help
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.
I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.

Hello ultramag69,
Thanks alot for your reply.
Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.
I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.
But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).
I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.
I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.
This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.
Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.
And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.

If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.
I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.
DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.
The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.
Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.
Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.
Cheers...
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.
Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.
I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.
After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).
And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.
Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?
I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.
I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?
I am very excited in getting it working again.
Thanks alot.
Cheers...
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.
Cheers...
I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.
Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
Hi All,
Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.
Thanks for your reply.
I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.
I am using the SD flush method.
Any suggestions ?
THank s alot for your help!
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...
If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.
Cheers...
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.
You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.
I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...
Cheers...
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.
Prost :-D
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.

can you manually get into bootloader?
yes,with soft reset and holding the vol down button.
and what does it say next to spl in bootloader?
sorry,it seems that the information that i gave,wasn't so complete to be answered,
it is SPL-1.42.000.
ok, so any spl that ends .0000 is stock so you dont have hspl installed, and so cannot flash custom roms or radios.
This no doubt happened when you tried to flash a stock rom from sd card, because even if the sd flash fails, it will have reset the spl. (Example, say you have an o2 locked phone, you try to flash a tmobile stock rom, from sd card, the first thing it does is remove hspl, and THEN it does the cid check, , finds that its a tmobile rom and an o2 phone so the flash fails, making you think it just failed, nothing more, but in reality it has already flashed the spl removing hspl)
Get hspl2
run it, choose the hspl version you want (1.42.hspl, 1.66.hspl, 2.08.hspl, it doesnt really matter)
pick any rom you want to flash and flash it from usb.
Let us know how you get on.
hey sam,that was great!you made my hd2 back to life.thanks a lot for your help my dear.
i tried many ways to fix it,but the rom update failed all the time.i tried to flash hd2 through micro sd,so i formatted my memory card and then i rename "ruu_signed.nbh" to "LEOIMG.nbh", and i reset hd2 while holding vol down button.then the loading screen appeared, i thought that i solved the prob but i was wrong and the loading screen was still there,i even waited for a hour!!!but nothing changed.the last option was to state my prob here,and i did,and i received a reply from you sam,i dont know how can i thank u,only i can say many thanks and you did me a very big favor!
my pleasure.
as for the favour,, do something nice for someone you don't know next time you get chance.
Hi all,
I have a big problem with my HD2. When I power on the phone, the white screen with green HTC appears, that's all! No version of Radio or OS appear in bottom of the screen.
I don't remember how it's arrive, since, I have flashed a lots of OS and Radio.
I have tried with HSPL2.08 HSPL1.42 (with HSPL2 and 3) Official HTC Rom (1.66) Radio 2.10 2.11 2.14 2.15 Original Orange Rom (HD2 branded Orange FR) with different USB cable and different computers, with and within SIM or SD card....
All flash complete with successful, I try with MAGLDR and a WP7 rom, after the flash, the phone doesn't restart automatically. If I remove battery, or push reset bouton, the phone restart but a red text "FAILED" appears.
If I try to flash by SD card, the flash stops at the Radio flash (if radio is in the NBH) with an triangle with exclamation point (like that but for WinMo http://bcorse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/nexus21.jpg I have not find a picture of WinMo).
Sorry for my very bad english, I hope you understand what I write !!
Thanks for your help, have a nice day
edit >> arf I have try to flash the latest Orange Rom (3.14) and now my HSPL is in 3.XX (I flash by USB cable)...
My english is too bad to have an answer or nobody knows what is the problem ?!
There are so many similar threads with almost identical questions...
And, apparently, as you write yourself, you tried everything.
All what one can say is that you definitely have a bootloader issue - what exactly does it look like when you start into the multicolor screen? All readable?
Plus, SPL is not overwritten via USB, that happens only via SD card, or, as you wrote, with HSPL2/3.exe.
Therefore, it is really strange that you´ve got SPL 3.03 on your device if you flashed via USB. Maybe it happened before, flashing another ROM via SD card?
Flashing via SD card can be a headache if you use cards bigger than 8GB, I usually recommend the 2GB card which was originally shipped with the device. Please try it with a freshly formatted (FAT32) card.
Starting from scratch, I would check the SD card thingy, put an older stock ROM which was made for your device on it (in order to get SPL below 3.03).
Also, it can be helpful to indeed take the battery out for a minute or two, and then re-insert it before pushing the buttons in order to get into the bootloader and then to flash the stock ROM.
Hi tictac0566, and thanks for the answer. That you say, I have tried everything it's possible.
I had contact the Orange France SAV, they returned me a "reconditionned" mobile!
Dear XDA Developers community,
my father recently gave me his old HTC HD2. It had its factory default stuff. I wanted to download some apps and play around with it, so I downloaded some apps from the marketplace. As soon as I downloaded a free Sudoku game, and ran it, the phone stopped responding. I tried to do a soft reset, but the phone did not respond either (it was stuck at the menu).
Now, I may have done an error: I removed the battery, instead of performing a Hard Reset. When I turned it on, it started rebooting in a loop, being stuck always at the HTC white welcome screen.
I decided for a Hard Reset. Well, it always gets stuck at the bootloader screen (the screen with the 4 colors).
So, I researched a bit, and found out, you can return to its stock ROM, eve with a stuck bootloader.
Well, I downloaded many old ROMS (the Rom before the problems was a 1.66 one), and ran the RUU through USB. But it always gave me a Incorrect vendor ID error (I think it was 194), so the update would always stop at 1%.
I even tried a 1.43 ROM.
I tried many WWE version Roms, but they don't seem to work. My father bought the phone on Amazon US, with no special contract or phone lock, so I guess it has to be a WWE, so I don't know why the RUU says it's incorrect.
I have seen other threads that have some similarities, but my exact same problem has not been addressed.
I would be very happy if you could help me, since I do not want to spend any money on repairs which I could probably perform with help of the community
I would be most glad to give more information if needed.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit:
The issue was resolved by installing HSPL4 on it, and then using a WWE 1.66 ROM on it! Silly me for not trying that earlier!
glad you sorted it, , to explain why it wouldnt work, you were not using the correct rom for that phone.
Your first clue would be the 'invalid vendor id'. An 02 phone (for example) will only take o2 roms, a tmo phone tmo roms, a voda phone, voda roms. Only unbranded phones take pure wwe roms, so for example
ruu leo htc wwe 1.66.405.2
see it says HTC in the filename? its for unbranded (not sold by a network) hd2s only.
I guess you have a branded one. (even if its been unlocked, the rom lock always remains, which is why we have hspl)
Incidentally, you only had trouble because you initially flashed from sd card, and step 1 in teh sd card flash is hspl gets removed, the phone restarts to continue flashing but because hspl is now gone, it fails. Had you flashed from usb teh first time, it would have worked.

Thanks for the answer Samuel. I got the phone to work again, and I even loaded NAND Android from the DFTeam.
Although the ROM runs just perfect and I love it, now my Volume Up key has stopped working.
I could not post on the Development section, so I guess I won't bother anyone, and will just post it in this thread.
It is a minor issue, but it's still is annoying. I found on the forums problems with the key with other models, but not with the HTC Leo.
Maybe someone has heard of this. Again, thanks in advance!
