A lot of users are developing their own WM6.5 ROMs
My question is: to flash this WM version, do I have to do this:
1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
9. after installing the hardspl you can flash any rom (rom cook project

I've noticed that a lot of users ask me to help because it didn't work for them, I always asked what they did and the most of them did everything the correct way but still it didn't work, They told me they used sspl 1.16 and then hardspl 1.22.
I always suggested to start all over and try it with 1.15 hardspl, and for ALL the people I suggest to do that, it worked.
Plse keep that in mind.

If it works for you it shouldn't be a problem, I myself did it also with 1.22 but for some people or phones the 1.15 work's better, still don't no why.
I just wanted to make a note in this thread for the people who don't succeed with 1.22
Greetz,
Hi.. I want to ask some..
If want to flash my nike (5500), from original WM 6.0 to 6.5, should I change my radio version? It's still confused me. I red in one thread that it need radio version 1.65 or higher. But in another thread, after hardSPL, I can go install ROM without change my radio. Which one to follow?
Thanks before for response..

Hi fastbus, it is better to change your radio version because you could lose some funtions such as camera and sound, there are two ways to flash a radio.
1. Flash an original rom, it comes with an radio, after that flash a cooked rom and you will keep the radio from the latest flashed original rom.
2. Just flash the radio after you flashed a cooked rom, flashing a radio is the same as flashing a rom, it is just a bit quicker then a rom because it is a lot smaller.
There is also a 1.71 radio, if you want to flash that one you must have a 1.58 radio, to upgrade the radio to 1.71, it just don't work with an 1.65 radio.
If you are still confused just send me an pm.
Greetz,
Thank you so much Rataplan.. I'll PM you soon, there is some Q again.

I've read and reread various posts about this. I just want to make sure I have the steps down before I go forward.
What I have now:
Cingular 8525
Rom: 1.34.502.1
Radio version : 1.16
SPL: 1.06
What I would like achieve:
Rom: 2.06.502.3
Radion version: 1.27
SPL: 1.04
Ext Rom: 2.06.502.3
1) Downgrade to SPL 1.04 by flashing the 8525 with file RUU_HER_Cingular_1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe. This is because it matches my CID CWS__001 and it has SPL 1.04. I guess I simply run it without any other preparations. Is this correct?
2) Super CID and simunlock using HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a.zip
3) I choose the ROM RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe
4) Use NBExtract to decompress the above ROM to get files OS.nbf and Extrom.nbf file
5) Flash SPL 1.01MFG using mtty.exe. Is this necessary? Can't I flash OS.nbf with SPL1.04?
6) Flash OS.nbf file extracted using mtty.exe
7) Flash extrom.nbf file extracted using mtty.exe
8) Flash radio from file RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe by simply running it. Is this correct?
Am I missing something in the process?
Lastly, Is this the best COMBINATION of ROM, radio, and ext ROM? And how does RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2[1].06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship compared to 2.05?
Thanks for any input.

This part is beyond what i did, my process was that i upgraded to radio ROM 1.27.00.00 using the signed .exe because i originally had SPL 1.09.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You seem to have it figured out, but dont go on what i say here, wait for it to be verified by more than just me
My process (having already got superCID and unlocked a while ago) was to upgrade to radio 1.27.00.00 before anything else, then to flash SPL 1.01MFG using mtty, then flash the OS.nb file from the ROM i chose, then to flash ExtROM.nb (again from the ROM i chose). By using radio 1.27 you will have radio loader 107 which is recommended still.
Once some other people have looked over what you posted then you should go ahead (if they all give the "all clear" )
You combination of rom and radio is a good idea (the ROM and ExtROM is entirely up to you but the radio is the highest that doesnt have loader 108?)
It's even easier than that;
get my Custom RUU kit and you can skip the reflash;
take the 3.3AKU and extract the RUU_Signed.
extract the RUU signed with NBHExtract or my GUI tool (make sure it's all in the same directory) then you can create a NEW RUU with SPL 1.04, whatever radio you like (if you want a new one) and the 3.3 OS AKU.
remember: if you do it this way, you can have whatever components you want; ExtROM, OS, mix and match anything.
however... if you don't think you can manage doing this, tell me what you want and I'll happily assemble it for you
1. SuperCid and Unlock with POF VERSION 3
Website:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Install Instructions:
Easy auto-install Instructions:
Unzip unlocker and run AUTO_Unlock_v3.bat
If you don't want to install automatically, or for some reason the process doesn't work for you, here are the manual instructions:
Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
Tri-color screen will appear
Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
Run RUU/ROMUpgradeUt.exe
Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)
Allow your phone to reboot.
Transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe program to your phone and run it
Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.
Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.
When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.
2. Then Run this cooked ROM (Cooked w/Olipro software)
http://uploadingit.com/files/8194/RUU_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.27.00.00_SPL1.04.zip
Rom: 2.06.502.3
Radion version: 1.27
SPL: 1.04
Ext Rom: 2.06.502.3
I think radio 1.33 or 1.34 is better then 1.27. I do not see a difference between 1.33 or 1.34 though.
You pretty much had the process but this will be easier for you.
just to point out; SuperCID and Unlock (unless using a different SIM) is unnecessary and *could* potentially invalidate your warranty.
SuperCID is pretty much redundant nowadays with the new SSPL; the only real advantage to having your device SuperCID is if there isn't a ROM for your CID with old version stuff to revert to.
Thank you for all the replies! I appreciate it.
@mrvanx and wpbear
The reason stated using unlocker v2a was because, from what I understand, if I use v3 it would put a patched 1.08 Radio BL (which I thought we want to avoid). Which means that I won't be able to "downgrade" to a lower version radio. Am I wrong?
@mrvanx
You said that I didn't need to downgrade to 1.04 BL because I could use 1.01MFG. I thought that I couldn't do that with 1.06 or higher. I had to downgrade to 1.04 first.
@wpbear
I assume in order to use your custom cooked ROM, I have to SuperCID right?
@Olipro
Thanks for the offer of cooking up a ROM. I think wpbear's ROM has everything I wanted. But again, if I wanted to use your ROM, I would have to SuperCID? Also, where can I get your GUI?
But what is the best combination right now of OS, Ext, and radio?
Thanks again!
anubus12 said:

Nevermind, I found your GUI. Thanks!
The only advantage of real SuperCID is being able to write to extrom once you've unlocked it.
You did a real nice v1.0 upgrade set of instructions btw They were perfect. In fact that's exactly what I did to upgrade my 8525.
However, the recent explosion of NBHtools that take advantage of Des' SSPL technique (nicely done Olipro btw )have opened up much better ways to accomplish this now.

no, you do *not* have to SuperCID at all with my RUU since it uses SSPL.
if you use the custom RUU (and you can tell, it has the XDA Dev logo on) then your device does not need to be SuperCID

You SHOULD be ok, i downgraded to SPL 1.01MFG from version 1.09 by just flashing it using mtty.exe. I followed the instructions on the How to Flash AKU3.3 Update thread (the first post) to get my new ROM onto my device. I used the HTC AKU3.3 Test ROM and it worked just great.

I do not think Pof unlocker put BL 108 on your device, but it doesnt matter anymore since SSPL bypass this and you can now still do radio only changes.

Are you SuperCID with POf unlocker?
SuperCID/unlock yes. POF no.
Wiki and numberous posts indicate if the unit is SuperCID, it is SuperCID period however there is a v2 v2a and v3.
Is there more to SuperCID than just SuperCID?
Sometimes it sticks and sometimes it does not?
Can v3 be run over top of an existing SuperCID/unlocked unit without risk?
True you are either SuperCID or not, but we have seen people loose SuperCID for no apparent reason. Use mtty and check if you are still SuperCID.
Still superCID, still 1.06.

once you have superCID you can downgrade your bootloader by this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
new custom RUU is complete;
ROM Cookers, the good news is that this is now a single file, simply provide it with an NBH and you have compatibility with all SPL versions.
Fifth edition... with detection of all SPL versions, plus a very special selection of two soft-load options, including an "Unsafe" SPL which can be used to flash your device back to any SPL you desire.
5.2 is a small patch to fix an error with the unsafe SSPL not allowing you to overwrite the bootloader
Good Work Olipro One Question When Will It Be Available?
Cheers
fantastic Oli,
Great work, guy! (as usual )
Great works.
ok, Custom RUU is released, enjoy
uhm... minor bug in the old release... replaced
Thanks. You make life a lot easier....
Olipro, I can't flash using your new RUU and Hard 1.11SPL.
I got installed your Hard SPL 1.11. Start the RUU and selected "SPL-1.11 Bootloader" and mark "Is it Hard-SPL?", Everithing goes well but, when it tries to start the upgrade, the machine hibernates and, after some seconds an error 260 appears.
IMHO the RUU can't start the Hard-SPL 1.11.
Any clue?
EDIT: It doesn't leave a RUU.log in C:\ like previous version (?)
Thanks and best regards.
@VivaErBetis: put your phone in bootloader mode manually, then start the upgrade.
@VivaErBetis
Do you realy have SPL 1.11 on your phone? I think it means "Olipro SPL 1.11" is not SPL 1.11.
"Olipro SPL 1.11" can also be "SPL 1.04" and "Is it Hard-SPL"
So you must choose your original SPL and "Is it Hard-SPL".

So, do I run this instead of romupgradeut.exe that comes with, for example, the WM6 roms, if I have hard-spl 1.11 installed?

I just got a HERMES, with tha radio rom
1.16.00.00
32.53.7018.01H
and my spl is 1.10.Oli
I want to upgrade the radio. Some post in this forum say I should have a 1.04 spl for a safe operation.
Is that neccessary? Because I think since 1.10.Oli is based on 1.04. But I am not sure about this. Is there anyone upgrade radio using 1.10.Oli without downgrade? And how?
thanks!
Use the latest 1.40.Oli
Use always the latest version of HardSPL and upgrade the radio in NBH format using the latest CustomRUU.
I installed the 1.38.00.10 but the battery life drops!
It's still the 1.27 the best radio rom for hermes or the last 1.40 is better? TNX

Have upgraded the 1.40.Oli Hard SPL from 1.10.Oli, And also upgraded Radio Rom to 1.38.00.11.
But there is still some accident happened.
When I use the RUU, which is from the wiki, and I am sure I use the RUU ONLY.
But when I run it, and choose autodetect spl, I got a wrong warning.(see the pic attached)
I choose force sspl, and follow the steps, and failed. (feel lucky no bricking happened.)
Again I did not use autodetect, choose spl-1.11/1.13/1.30/1.35/1.40, it's done in less than 15 minites.
So, maybe the second time I was doing right?

are you sure your phone isn't asking for comfirmation when you use autodetect? this feature uses the RAPI of the phone and polls a memory area to check the version... if the phone is rejecting the request then you're likely to get this error.

Hi to everybody.
I have an Hermes 200 Vodaphone VPA compact 2 v1605.
I wanna put into this pda the latest Schap's 4.31 ROM.
I have done the mrVanx procedure and I have successfully installed the 2.10 Hard-SPL-V7.
Now I wiil explain my two problems:
- I don't know if my pda is CID unlocked or not... With the HardSpl flashed on my pda, should I be scared about that or not?
I think HardSPL turn my pda into supercid... right?
- If ROM flashing procedure will be stopped by a pc crash, I can unbrick my pda easily? In wich way?
Should I use the mrVanx guide to flash pda or I follow microsd guide?
Many thanks
I should have read the wiki. Either way, and since nobody helped me when i needed and i had to find it all by myself, i know how frustrating it might be. So ill give u hand.
First go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Download that tool that will superCID ur phone and Hard SPL it automatically. Pay attention to every step.
After that, and since the hard spl installed by that tool is rather old, go here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
In the middle of that tuturial u will find the link to the mostly used version of hard spl and how to update ur rom to one of the cooked ones around here.
Soz if my english aint perfect but im not english nor american though.^^
Thanx for reply. But i think you haven't understand my question.
I think my pda is already SuperCID because i have installed the 2.10 HardSPL.
Somewhere in this forum or in the wiki i found that if I flash my pda with 2.10 HardSPL I don't have to use unlocker because this version allow SUPERCID mode.
Am I wrong???
My pda is also already sim unlocked. Infact it is Vodofane (english or german) but i can use TIM italian sim card without problems.
Now my question is:
If I write the schap's ROM with SD procedure, should I scared about RADIO ROM damage?
I found that schap's ROM doesn't modify RADIO, right?
..so i think that SD procedure is the safer way.
Thanks
Not really, most if not all cooked roms DON'T have the radio rom cooked in as there is no perfect rom for everyone, its carrier compliant. Just because a new radio rom comes out doesn't mean its going to improve your reception or battery life, sometimes it causes problems, hence the chefs give you the option of what radio to use.
Now, Hard SPL is only a safety net, things can still go wrong but if they do there is a load of information on how to fix it, ESPECIALLY if you've installed Hard SPL. Make sure its version 7 so the spl reads as 2.10 olipro when you enter bootloader (power button, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold in until you get to tricolour screen). Just soft reset with stylus to get out.
Personally, as you have Hard SPL, I'd use the sd card method to flash your os. Its on the forum MANY times over. A quick search should find it. VERY EASY and, I believe, safer than using the pc. Just make sure the battery is charged.
Hope this helps....
Cheers....

Yes i have HardSPL v7 2.10 installed on my pda.
This mean I'm in supercid mode and I'm able to flash any rom. right?
I haven't to use the sim cid unlcker, right?
I haven't understand this:
At the moment I don't want to change my RADIO ROM.
Latest schap's ROM doesn't modify RADIO so my radio ROM remain the same. Is this true?
If I flash schap's ROM should I to flash a RADIO ROM that works with schap's one? Or does my RADIO continue to work?

I have a brand new hermes since last week and i passed a lot of blocking and stucking in the bootloader. However, the first ROM i installed was Schaps one and on that time i didn't even have my phone Hard SPL'ed or SuperCID'ed! I used that tool of SSPL. But if u say ur phone is already Hard SPL you will have no problems installing the schaps rom. In addition, the RADIO ROM will not be modified with his rom. I must say that besides his ROM was installed perfectly, there are some other cooked ROMs that require your phone to be SuperCID'ed.
Thanks for your reply.

Is this a good thing or bad one?
I mean: my pda now has no problem about RADIO and I don't want to change nothing about RADIO ROM.
If i flash schap's ROM the pda continue to work well with my RADIO? or the schap's ROM work well with some RADIO ROM an bad with other.
Thanks
You won't change your radio rom and yes it will still work with ANY rom you use (as long as its for the Hermes).
ok!!!
Now it's time to flash.
Thanks a lot!!

In your signature i found that you use a CRC's ROM.
Also crc's rom doesn't modify RADIO and can work well on my pda?

It works good on mine. And no, it doesnt modify your ROM.
As stated before, the chefs tend to let YOU decide what radio to use... There is no perfect radio rom and location/carrier seems to determine what is the best radio for you.
Cheers...
I put the rom in microsd renamed in HERMIMG.nbh
I start the bootloader withe ok + power + stylus but the flash procedure doesn't start. I have only the bootloader screen with 4 rows:
RED HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10 OLIPRO
GREEN
BLUE
WHITE SERIAL
what's the matter?
p.s.
I'm using a 2g sandisk
with 1gb microsd sandisk it works!!
Flash successfull!!
Thanks to everybody
sfrangebob, it should work with a 2gb too, It needs to formatted fat32 though.
Congrats and welcome to the wide world of Phone upgrading...
DISCLAIMER - Phone flashing can be addictive....
I know.. I formatted it many times but the flashing operation doesn't start.
With 1 gb it starts on the first attempt.
ahah flash addciction
I am reading forums for few days now, i would like to install WM 6.5 on my touch dual, but i just dont get what i need to do. Is there some step by step tutorial.
Also, i am interested in android too, i tried one of them but it was poor. Is there some android for htc that actually works, and can be used normally?
Thank you
First off all, welcome.
If you just want to know how to start just read the first two stickies of this thread.
Regards,
Yes i read stickies but i dont get what i need to install, that is in what order, and which ROMs i need to use.

Hmm, okay first we need to know what type off phone you have, you can find that under your battery, by me it's displayed Niki100.
Second one, which is important, is your device simlocked.
Regards,
I have it too Nikki100
No it is not sim locked
Okay, sorry for the late reply, but I was at my work, and also tonight I have to leave, if you don not have a simlock the only thing you have to do can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631493 just read carefull and if you still don't know how it works just let me know and I will help you.
This is how i did it:
1. I just started at step 4, and copied the sspl 1.16 to my phone.
2. Turned the phone off.
3. Removed sim and sd-card
4. Turn on the phone and launched sspl 1.16
5. Connect on computer and usb appears.
6. Running hardspl 1.22
Thats all, I'm not sure if it is the right way but it worked for me.
Important:
Use at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damage to your device.
Regards,
Ok so i run sspl 1.6 and i got the phone in bootloader mode, connected USB and nothing happens. What i should now try to put wm 6.5 ROM?

No, before you flash a rom, you have to flash Hardspl 1.22
Greetz,
You did not mentioned hardspl above?!?!
and what about that radio ROM do i have to flash that too.
I dont get you, so i run sspl, and i get bootloader, what now, do i flash hardspl while in that bootloader or?

Hi again, you only need to flash Hardspl 1.22 or 1.15 but they say that 1.22 is better, and yes you can do that in bootloader.
And why you have to do this is, because if you only use sspl you have to do that everytime you want to flash a rom with hardspl you only have to do this once and you can flash all the rom's (for the Niki) what you want, so this means if you can succesfull flash the hardspl 1.22 you are done with this and you can search for rom's you like
Hopefully I'll gave you enough information but if you want to ask something you can always ask, there is just a small thing with the radio but I explain that after you did the hardspl.
Greetz,
