Solution from cmonex
this is good for both corrupt modelid and corrupt wifi, and fixes both at the same time.
STEP BY STEP:
1. download attachment at the end of the post for mac1.exe (requires .net 2.0 installed on the PC)
2. you will also need to download the other attachment in this post for the mtty program.
3. enter bootloader (tricolour screen) manually by pressing and holding camera button all the way in (yes I mean that, press it in as hard as you can!!), while doing a reset, then keep the camera button held until you see the tricolour screen.
4. disable USB in activesync (wmdc if you have vista - in this case, do not kill wmdc, just disable usb in it!!!)
5. run mtty and select USB option from the dropdown box!
6. then press enter in main window that comes up, see if that gives you Cmd>
7. now you should have Cmd>, if not, re-check if you did the above steps right until you get Cmd>
8. now run the mac1.exe, type in your MAC address you want to use for the Athena, if you have SPL 3.xx reported on the tricolour screen, then use the button for SPL 3.xx, otherwise if you have SPL 1.xx reported, use button for 1.xx.
9. this should have generated a .bin file for you, copy that bin file in the folder of mtty.
10. now, in mtty, type (do not copypaste!) this command: task 32
11. this should return Level = 0
12. now, you must only do one of the two following commands:
- if you have SPL 3.xx, then type (do not copypaste!!) this command: lnb filename.bin 76508000
(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).
- OR, if you have SPL 1.xx, then the command is different (do not copypaste!!): lnbs filename.bin 75108000
(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).
NOTE, the command starts with a lowercase "L", not "I"!
WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT MIX UP THESE TWO DIFFERENT COMMANDS!!!
if this info helps: most people will have SPL 3.xx, and if you have AP4 (not vanilla) already running then you're definitely 3.xx
13. mtty will popup a window asking "OK", you press OK!
if you get "Fail to synchronize with the host (1)", then make sure you did follow step by step. if still same error, try placing mtty and the bin file under C:\.
14. now the file downloads, if mtty reports it flashed the file, and at the end "code entrypoint unknown", then that's it, now boot back to WM and see if wifi works.
edit: see raskell's mtty tutorial too, #36. post in this thread
if you *really* can't manage to get it working, you can still feel free to PM me.
let me know if this program and step by step description helped any.
hmmm, looking over what you did, the only problem I see so far is with the USB port.
in the port settings screen, it should be USB, not //WCEUSB
so make sure you go into active sync and in the connection settings window make sure you turn off the "allow USB connection". then run the tool again and check if you see the USB option there.
y have bootloader from x7510? athe400 means bootloader from x7510 and its hardware is a little different. your device is athe100, it can cause the problem. Try athena updater to 3.5 spl and then mtty
I have this problem too. I cant flash my device becouse invalid ID, and dont work the mtty command.
Can anyone help me pls?
check your Bootloader it should show ATHE100 not ATHE400 it means you flash wrong SPL on it. Contact cMonex for this case. She just make my pda back in 30 minutes

Hi to all
Its possible extract a rom from a tytn and install this rom so other tytn???
or we must use the ship version???
if it is possible how can we extract a rom and how we can convert it to flashable rom???
Thx
Short answer: It is not possible yet, you must wait for a shipped version.
Long answer: A ROM consists of 7 parts:
1. Extended ROM
2. OS Image
3. IPL (part of bootloader)
4. SPL (part of bootloader)
5. Splash screen
6. HTC Logo (normally uses the same image as the splash screen)
7. GSM radio code
You can dump the original rom, but only the things contained in the FLASH will be dumped, this does not include the IPL, SPL, splash and radio parts, so its unuseful for flashing it back.
I've updated the wiki with this answer, see here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Thx
For the Vv (very very) clear answer...
Please Help
Hey pof.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction with my problem.
I've tried to upgrade my HTC Tytn original ROM to JasJam ROM , right at the end (99%) the updating software stoped , gave me an error and restarted the computer. Now all i see on my tytn is dots with mixed colours all over the screen(not even a tri-color mode) it looks like a broken tv. Now i can't even sync it with my PC to install old ROM. Can't do anything with it now. the reason for this i guess is a ROM update that wasn't completed.
I've tried to use bootloader but it didn't give an 'USB' option. just com1 and com2.
Please help. Iam really desperate

1) try SD card flashing:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
2) If it doesn't work, put the unit in bootloader mode, disable activesync usb on your computer (Connection settings -> disable USB connection) and try to flash a ROM using the usual method.
Other than this... I can only tell you trying to get a repair under warranty
Hey pof. Thanks for the quick reply.
That is exactly how it looks !
Listen, somehow i've managed to get in to bootloader.
It shows on top:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.04
I've tried to do the SD Rom update but it doesn't work. Just shows me the same bootloader screen with those two messages(above). Pushing the powere button doesn't do anything
The bootloader update didn't work either. when i typed in "set 14 0" it said "Write Nand Success" but when i soft reseted it , it still gave me that screen.
Any ideas what i can do? other then send it for repairs.
Thanks again.
Hope to hear from u soon.................iam freaking out here
Just tried SDCardFlashing with different ROM files.
With the original ROM it does not do anything (stays in the bootloader screen)
With JasJam (that's the one i've tried to install) it show "checking..." message on screen , but does not do anthing.............been like that for 10 minutes.
Can't believe i've screwed up so bad
At least bootloader is still "intact", the right NBH file should be the one matching your CID, assuming that you have a TyTN it should be the TyTN 1.18 rom.
If you can go into bootloader and send commands using mtty check your CID with command "info 2".
Also try to do a rom upgrade using the usual proces while the unit is connected in bootloader mode and activesync usb disabled, click on RomUpgradeUt.exe, then Next ,next, next... if it fails tell me which error you get and where.
Hey Pof.
when i try "info 2" command , it just hangs without any output. and i can no longer type in commands.
I've tried to run RomUpgradeUt.exe
This produced ERROR[222]: DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. I get it at the end , after the updater asks me for final confirmation.

Read this thread, from post #11 until the end

Try to put USB monitor (instructions on post #11) and see if you get any output from the device... attach the USB capture here if you want, I can have a look at it.
Hey Pof.
Did everything like you said.
Here is the output.
P.S: didn't allow me to upload WinAce archived files so i upload the text file, its pretty small.

Click to collapse
The RUU sends "task 32 ; info 2 ; info 3" commands to bootloader, but you get no output from it, I think it's screwed because none of the three commands is answered by your device.
Normally, task 32 should return the seclevel, usually 0xFF ; info 2 should return the CID (in TyTN it is QTEK_001) and info 3 should return the block to calculate the dynamic password to be able to use wdatah command. Without wdatah you cannot flash
Do you have warranty on your device?
Yes its still under waranty , i purchased the device couple of weeks ago. Iam going to call them today.
Can you please advice me on what should i tell to HTC customer support ppl as to why this whole mess happend to my handheld?
Just wanted to tell you that i really appreciate your effort. Thank you for everything.

HTC has not "officially" released any rom for the hermes yet, the tytn rom we have on the ftp is leaked from dangaard NL, so you cannot say you've been trying to upgrade the rom because they will tell you there are no rom upgrades available yet.
If you are not in a hurry to have your phone back you can wait until they release a ROM upgrade and then tell them the "truth"... but i don't know if they will be able to see that you flashed Imate ROM and not HTC ROM (and flashing another brand's rom voids your warranty). If they don't notice it, the repair should be under warranty and no charges for you.
If you are in hurry, just tell them you tried to flash the imate jasjam rom (downloaded from imate ftp) and phone screwed, they will charge you some money to repair / flash back the original htc rom on your device and return it to you, but you'll have to pay because this is not covered by the warranty.
I don't know how much will they charge you for this, but you can explain them by phone and ask...
i use this rom

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.
Make sure you are using either USPL or HSPL as well
already soft rest the set and do again try but same problem again and again
now my set in boot mode and show these words
HERM100
IPL-1.03
HERM100
SPL-1.40.01ipeo
need full info about this problem step my step
Try saving the nbh to you're storage card as herming.nbh and flash the stock rom this way... then try updating you're rom again.

i read something here about NBH file
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_PreproductionVersions
so where is the NBH file if someone have then share here the link
I wish you guys would do a little reading...
The flash file consists of 2 files, the RUU_Wrapper.exe and the RUU_signed.NBH file.
If yours is just an exe file then use winrar to extract the 2 files.
You also need to have Hard SPL V7 installed, if you dont then go to last paragragh......
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file to it.
2. Rename to hermimg.nbh. Insert into Hermes.
3. Reboot into bootloader/tri-colour screen.
If you have done everything right, follow onscreen instructions. If not then go through again, step by step.
If this doesn't work, drop kick your Hermes into next year cos it isn't gonna be fixed without a LOT of reading and I quit here....

Hi all,
After 2 days triying ,Yesterday i succeed to put the w7.bi+bootloader into the phone with your method and worked ok. I explain this couse it can be helpull to others with same behavior.
First, you must have a W6.5 radio version 321 in the phone. Otherwise you wont be able to reach Factory mode in your phone.
My problem were concerning drivers. If the drivers are not well installed its useless. My problem was concerning this issue. With W7x64 , Common downloader option is not valid couse the platform is not for 64 bit.The PC see the conection bur doesnt work due drivers (you can see them in yellow in the w7 hadrware manager). And after 1 min or less... time out. If you try to update the drivers for TOSHIBA DL driver doesnt work. So my option was to make first Common downloader with another PC with xp 32 bit windows, and after the BASE SOURCE option (FFU-) with W7 x64 bit PC. It works perfectly.
The w7.bin I put It seems to be very fluid and fast, even faster than with w 6.5 but There are some important bugs (camera...umts). I think its not the latest, but I cant find any other.... Can any of you you provide a link with the latest (that you know?).
Thaks for the help, I hope my experience can helps others. Some times its harder the rampup rather than the full process...xd.

9 is there any other OS. Bin for this phone?
Hi guys.
I need some clear instructions, and software needed to install Windows 7 on my TG01. I do not know most of the stuff I see posted in threads, so I need something even a retard could do.
It already has WM 6.5 on it. And it works well. I need something with a great chance of not bricking it.
anyone help plz
N00b guide
There is certainly not an obvious way to flash a TG01, especially to WP7, so here is a rough guide it's not perfect but hopefully this works for you. Please read and download everything you need before beginning the process.
Step 1: Flash WP7 bootloader
1) Download and install TG Downloader and the USB drivers. Reboot PC.
2) Fully charge your device battery. (Buy a cheap universal battery charger from eBay if necessary.)
3) Switch off your device.
4) Place your TG01 into "Download mode" as follows...
Devices with 0321 ROMs: Hold down Camera + Power buttons on boot.
Otherwise: Remove back cover, battery and SIM card. Carefully remove black sticker where the SIM card was. Get a piece of copper wire and twirl it so that you can easily hold it and touch Pin 1 and Pin 3 at the same time (known as "shorting"), see below image. Replace battery, short the pins with the copper wire and press the Power button.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After either of these your device should display a white LED on the front which means it is in Download mode. If not, switch off and try again. Also if using the PIN method, maybe try holding the Reset button on the back for 10 seconds straight after pressing the Power button.
5) Connect phone to PC. Start TG Downloader with admin rights (right-click shortcut or EXE and choose "Run as administrator".
6) TG Downloader will display an error, click "yes". Click change port to change to Toshiba DL port if necessary. Click "Download mode".
7) Download and extract wp7boot.bin, browse to it in TG Downloader and click "Start Download".
8) Do not disconnect your phone until the process completes, it shouldn't take longer than 5-10mins.
Step 2: Flash WP7 ROM
1) Download and extract these OS files. Install the Acer driver (32 or 64bit) and the ZTEiT Common Downloader.
2) Download a WP7 ROM. I recommend one of the latest 7.8 builds. Once the ROM is downloaded, extract, rename to flash.bin and place in the same directory as NPRG8650.hex and partition.mbn.
3) Fully charge your device battery.
4) Switch off your device.
5) Hold Camera + Power to boot into Download mode, device should display a blue LED.
6) Connect to PC. Start ZTEiT Common Downloader. Select Multi-Download.
7) Browse to folder with downloaded files. Click advanced and for each of the three files (flash.bin, NPRG8650.hex and partition.mbn) browse to them.
8) Click Start to begin flashing process. Do not disconnect device until complete. Could take 15-25mins.
Then your device should boot up into your new WP7 software. Please note camera does not function in any WP7 builds AFAIK and there may be bugs or other limitations.
If this guide works, please go thank these guys: qinwengui, mirolg, arag0n85 and kevinpwhite. Of course thank the ROM creator too :victory:

Hello,
As I had a somehow hard time to find a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the bootloader and root the Zenfone 4, here is a quick guide on how to do so. The method below was successfully used on a Z01KDA.
As usual: this guide will be used at your own risk. I won't accept any responsibility in any way if it results in a damage of any sort on your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PREREQUISITES
Zenfone 4 (that... should be obvious, but who am I to judge)
A computer with:
Windows (at least Windows 7, I guess)
Fastboot ready to use (I recommend using the file from this link as it is the most straightforward, but if you prefer the SDK tools, well, you do you) and being able to use it (though on a basic level)
A USB-C cable capable of transferring data
Time to read all the annoying stuff below, and patience.
1. Bootloader unlock (from this thread // thanks to OP @shakalaca)
Whichever method you use to unlock your bootloader, all your personal data and settings will be erased and your phone will be restored to factory default. So, backup everything before going forward.
As this method was used on a rather old version of the Zenfone 4 firmware, I suggest that you use the official downgrade method from Android P to Android O. To do so :
Download the file here on your computer (the main page is located here, under Drivers & Tools), and put it at the root of the phone, do not change the name of the file
After unplugging your phone, it will prompt a software update, proceed with it
If it doesn't work for any reason, use this method instead:
Put the file on a SD card (...inside the phone)
Reboot the phone to recovery (via ADB, or Power button + Volume down)
Install the update from recovery
Wait for the phone to reboot.
After the downgrade, you can proceed to the bootloader unlock:
Download the method of @shakalaca located here
Unzip all the files to the same folder
Get into fastboot on the phone (reboot with Power button + Volume up)
Make sure that your phone is detected with
Code:
fastboot devices
Run the file "ze554kl_unlock.bat" as administrator
Let it do its magic
Your phone will reboot, congrats, the bootloader is unlocked.
