hey iv been trying to flash this hermes for my friend, but the rom flasher wont detect my phone ones its in bootloader mode(yes i have usb connection turned off in active sync) but it does detect it in windows, and another question, can i flash the hard spl from sdcard or not? bare in mind this phone is factory default so no hard spl, i did run sspl so know its hard spld sort off, so yea any help would be gladly appreciated
I had the same problem...
Use a different USB cable, I have like 15 of them, and not all are same...even
though it seems so. (Don't ask me why - LOL)...
Anyways... I would do the HARD SPL flash, in-case of bad flashing of the ROM...
This will save your phone...
Now to the point.... do a MANUAL setting of the boot-loader (POWER+OK+RESET)
Easiest way to do this is HOLD DOWN the POWER+OK, and while HOLDING DOWN
POWER+OK hit the RESET button until the phone goes into BOOT-LOADER mode.
Then try and do a SSPL safe mode flash. this is how I do it and it is so much easier, then trying the other ways.
Well hope I helped....

Reset into bootloader. If the SPl is 1.09 desi then you can install Hard SPL using the sd card method. If not then go to page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL sticky and use those instructions. Just make sure you install Hard SPL V7, must say IPL - 1.04 & SPL - 2.10 oli after flash in bootloader. Then you can flash using the sd card method, just drop all steps using sspl.exe,.

First of all, its not bricked. Bricked = doesn't turn on, nothing, blank screen.
I've looked to your info, you already have HardSPL, so you can flash directly using any RUU, don't use shelltools!
Enter bootloader (hold camera+reset), open up the RUU of the ROM you want (make sure it doesn't have any IPL/SPL) and flash away
well I looked all day what to do and I can not find solution
I just can not understand how to flash the phone
I found one solution via some kind of Wizard_love, but again I do not know what to do

3. Install HardSPL or use SSPL
4. Flash to WM6

Now my charge port is completely snapped off and my battery shorted out when I was trying to hold the charge port in place to charge it and fried the main board. DEAD. NO MORE.
THAT MY FRIENDS, IS BRICKED....
No worries though, I already ordered a TyTN II

Ok, Used SoftSPL and tried flashing the ROM. It manages to get to 99% and then just goes RED. I have tried 3 different ROMS and same story it goes RED at 99%.
When i remove the battery, it goes to the RUU Red, Green and Blue screen. SPL version is 2.16.0001. Not Oli's new one.
What do i do from now?

Soft SPL only allows you ONE update, so phone is CID unlocked only when Soft SPL is loaded.
It's normal for the RUU to stick on 99 % for a couple of minutes, The whole update will take aprox 10 minutes.
You can try the hard SPL from there you are semi-permanently CID unlocked.
Good luck,

Can anyone please post a guide on how to flash Hard-SPL onto my HTC TYTN.
The guide for installing Hard-SPL onto the HERMES is not available anymore, and i am EXTREMELY confused about what im doing, and i am afraid i will brick my phone if i do something wrong.
Please please please help!
Read the sticky, first post on this page.
It really isn't hard to do. But be sure you know what you are doing btw. SO read the sticky!
Basically you just download the flavor of Hard SPL you want (I used 2.10 which I can recommend, very easy to downgrade to factory SPL again as I just learned!).
After download unzip the folder and run the RUUWrapper. Follow instructions exactly, do nout unplug your device etc. and it should work like a charm. It takes about 1 minute!
If you don't know what you are doing or you are still doubting, wait for Mr Vanx site to come online again or don't flash. There is always a risk you screw up and end with a $500 brick.
So use at your own risk!

I appreciate your reply Mr. Vanx. Same as with puca, I put my phone into the bootloader mode and it does indeed show the correct 2.10 Olipro version. This is the 3rd 8525 I have had and I could have SWORN it took much longer on the first 2. Even the update from WM5 to WM6 seemed to take much less time with this particular phone. Guess I shouldn't really complain
Downgrade Error 260
Hi Mr Vanx I have followed your guide to downgrade my current SSPL (2.10 Olipro) to SSPL (1.11). But I keep getting error 260. I have followed guide step by step.
I have even tried flashing from SD-Card (by renaming to HERMING.nbh). Process runs successfully, but nothing happens.
Its still showing SSPL-2.10 Olipro in bootloader. Am I missing anything?
Thanks
can some one point me to the guide. I am facing a NO GSM problem on vodafone VPA 1605 with following config:

CID: VODAP001
Bootloader: 1.04
I do not see the radio version or the IMEI. So I would like to do a HARDSPLv7 followed by Radio ROM update to 1.06.00.10. I hope this will work. Seniors may help with their sggestion.
Can someone help me with the guide to HARDSPL as I am doing it for the first time and the guides are not available at MR Vanx site nor can I locate the sticky?

Hello,
I would like to upgrate Rom with this one: Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe
I installed Hard-SPL and now I have 2.10.olipro SPL version displayed in the bootloader (before I had 1.4).
Actually, in my Hermes300 I have installed :
WM6.0
ROM: 2.54.258.2
ROM date: 07/06/07 (DD/MM/YY)
RADIO: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
ExtROM: 3.54.258.102
I don't know if it is the original ROM upgrade from HTC website, because I'm not the firt owner of the phone.
Anyway, If I try to upgrade it by using autodetect mode an error occurs:"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL".
Why? What Do I have to do to have Upgrade? Maybe, is there still some kinda of "brand"? Which option should I have to select?
I want to use the most safe upgrading procedure to avoid brick.
P.s. I'm using Windows Xp.
Thanks!!
Pick safe SSPL..... Follow the instructions after OR use the sd card method.
Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh". Put it in phone and reset to bootloader. Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Find this safer than pc flash.
Cheers......
Thank you very much I will do it!
But I'd like to understand why autodetect mode doesn't work! Do u hava any ideas? Cannot I choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL choices? I'm a newbie in upgrading and I only understand that to avoi brick I should use HARD-SPL. If I use Force safe SSPL or SD card method can I have a brick?
How about if autodetect doesn't work because I have installed original ROM upgrade from HTC? It is possible?
Thanks.
No flashing method is a guarantee of success. Hard SPL isn't either, it just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone. If you interrupt a flash you will brick your phone but with Hard SPL its possible to fix. Except if you interrupt the radio rom portion of the flash. I think its OK to say that if you stuff up this part of the flash you won't be able to fix easily, if at all.
Most, if not all, cooked roms DON'T have a radio rom inside. ALL stock roms do.
This is why I said its safer with sd card method. You would have to physically reset the hermes in the middle of a flash to stuff it. With the pc, usb cables can be unplugged, reset buttons can be pushed and blackouts/brownouts do occur. Thats if Activesync doesn't throw a hissy fit and disconnect while trying to update....
>HARD-SPL just makes it easier or even possible to fix your phone.
Ok, and by using SD CARD procedure is it the same?
I mean...now with HARD-SPL installed on hermes can I use every upgrading procedure to fix my phone (if possible)? Or to take advantage from that do I have to use a particular procedure?
Before writing here I read a post where another guy had my same problem and some people answered him to choose SPL-2.02./2.10/2.30 New Bootloader and is it HARD-SPL. But u think is better by SD CARD.... .
Thanks, and I'm sorry for many questions!
Does Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full.exe have a radio rom inside? I can upgrade only Rom without RADIO? If yes...how?
Thank you very much!
No, Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full doesn't have a radio rom. Look at the list of apps and tweaks included. It will tell you what radio version it has if it has the radio portion included...( this is for ANY cooked rom. The chefs work hard to make these and are rightly proud of their work.)
Here are the instructions for sd card flash again if you missed the first time
1). Format sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it. Rename it to "Hermimg.nbh".
2). Put it in phone and reset to bootloader - Hold down power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen. It should recognize the flash image so then follow the prompts.
Its that easy when you have Hard SPL on your phone...
Cheera...
It worked very well. Thank u very much!
Sow if you don't have Hard Spl on your phone the SD flash method won't work? I have a spv m700 and coun't manage to install hard-spl.
Go to the last few pages of the Hard SPL thread - its a sticky - You'll find out how to install Hard SPL using the sd card method. Don't have to worry about sync errors with the PC then...
Cheers...
I have got Hard-SPL 2.60. Which one should I pick in the SPL Meny? I'm kinda noobish when it comes to this ...
I hope someone can help me , i ve tried a lot of roms, and i cant upgrade it, i also tried the sd flash , but it got stuck on the boot screen , could someone please help me, what should i do?
hi guys
I have a bricked hermes
DOPOD 8525 -> WM 6.1 Professional
From bootloader screen
HERM100 IPL-1.01
bootloader SPL-1,40.01ipro
Tried to flash ROM using safe SSPL with RUUwrapper.
At completion of flash both my mobiler & win mobile device centre disconected or lost connection with device, after soft reset will only load up to second HTC screen. How can I recover from this brick? device manager recognises HTC usb sync when plugged in but I can't connect to re flash rom.
Reading helps my friend
Get to bootloader, press ok and power on left and right respectively and stick stylus in all at same time.
that should bring up tricolour screen.
Download your imate jasjam official ROM
EDIT i think you got a dopod so the dopod ROM is what you want from my 4shared or wiki!!
from the wiki or from my 4shared, and flash it while it is in boot loader mode.
then you need to flash hard spl one of the first stickys on this thread that you have just posted to.
Then flash your desired rom.
Thank you Zocster
Got it unbricked & working, thanks to you I have a lot of trouble reading as I am leagally blind but get by with T2V & magnifiers most times. however searching threads is a lot harder than for most.
thanks
Lou
PS if you ever cross the tasman drop me a line
loulian, to make it easier to recover from bricks, It would be best if you flashed Hard SPL V7 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It won't guarantee a flawless flash but will help if something goes wrong by giving you a GOOD chance of recovery.
You can then use the sd card method and make life easier by not having to worry about pc crashes, cables being pulled, blackouts or those annoying "sync" errros.
Cheers...
Also if you have trouble setting up your Hermes after a flash/hard reset because of the alignment points being hard to see, It would be a good idea to download this -
http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=44
It will, after you save the settings, allow you to use your PC to set up the Alignment point if you need to Hard Reset or flash your phone making it load the os to the today screen.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. I have the same problem, but when i try to flush it from a TriColor mode i get a communication error, it complains about activesynch not connected. BTY mine is cingular 8525 so i am trying to use one of the cingular roms.
Hey, my phone is an At&t 8525 and after finally fixing the white screen problem and flashing hard-spl v7 and a couple of roms I bricked the phone when flashing the last touch flo rom. During the flash the ruu wrapper stopped and indicated there was an error. I did the recovery and it supposedly completed succesfully if I can remember right. When it reboot it would not get past boot loader. And thats where I am now, the phone will not get past boot loader.
I've tried every method on these forum I could found
SD card flashing dosent work, I get the 002..... error in red.
Flashing the factory an at&t rom dosent work either, gets the same error
\
As for as I know the MTTY method dosent work, I don't know how to type in commands into bootloader and when I type in 14 0 in MTTY nothing happens
KITL is not enabled
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.03
The phone does not boot into bootloader when I hit the power button, I have to hold the comm button, power button, and soft reset in order to bring up bootloader.
When bootloader is up and the phone is connected to the computer via usb bootloader displays usb on the screen and windows detects the device as an HTC device.
Again i've spent about a week and a half trying to fix this phone and I don't know what to do anymore, i've tried more methods than listed above I can't remember though. If anyone can give me a hint on what to do I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
P.S Can someone please tell me how you type commands in bootloader or MTTY
You DON'T have Hard SPL V7 installed..... Otherwise your SPL would be 2.10.
Connect the Hermes to the pc, make sure active sync has benn disabled - got to settings, untick connect by USB. It should register on the pc. Go to bootloader then run the .nbh file for your stock rom... Make sure its the carrier rom that it was shipped with. It doesn't have to be WM05 but it DOES have to be your ORIGINAL carrier rom. Let it run through, you may gewt lucky.....
If it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7....... Makes it so much easier to fix then...
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
I tried downloading and sd card flashing a stock rom from a list of factory roms of all Hermes that I found here on xda. It gave me the same error though. I'm not exactly sure which exact rom to download from that list either. Any more help would be appreciated, thx
Wow I feel retarded, I used the wrong factory rom. After I used the right one it worked perfectly, I now have my 8525 back! Thx so much man, ur the friggin man!
Congrats bro you got it atlast. good luck & take care your baby in future. try to help others with your experience.
Glad you fixed it mate, but if I were you I'd also make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. It is the safety net to help when things go wrong... Never gonna be 100% safe but better odds with Hard SPL V7...
SPL - 2.10 oli
Cheers...
Ok... Rejoining the 8525 Clan
Is this Forum still alive???
Been a while guys, figured I would break out the 8525... charge it up and see what kind of things are new in this community. Unfortunately, it looks as if the radio is bricked on it. Seems like it will install ROM's that the radio is not included on. NO GSM is on the boot display, which is strange as I was using this phone until I got the Tilt about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I was a hardcore flasher back then... every other day it seemed, so I know it has (or had) everything it needed like the Oli 2.10 SPL... but it seems like I cannot recover this radio issue.
I am messing with the different original OEM and Carrier ROMs hoping I can get passed the 11-12% mark, and I will let you know if something changes. Any idea if un-installing SPL 2.10 Oli, and then trying to walk back through the old SPL steps could help? I am just trying to figure out another way to get around this radio issue... or basically I have a PDA, no phone Damn phone hasn't been touched in like 2 years, you think it would be just as fine as it was when I took the SIM out.
Cheers
