I have tried *everything* to get this working man and I'm no firmware hacker but I can follow directions and have had plenty of experience flashing G3 devices.
Basically when I do the flash (starting from the latest T-Mobile or aku rom) I get trapped on the boot screen with the T-Mobile or aku background and the following:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
To get back I of course put the phone into "rainbow" mode by pressing camera while I boot up the device and reload either the T-Mobile rom or the akus rom. They go right in and I try again without success doing something a little different.
Things I've tried that were mentioned in other forum posts:
I've tried a number of times from more than one PC running Windows XP.
I've tried redownloading the rom and replacing the one that came with it.
I've tried waiting extra long between installed the EnableRAPI and other cab file.
tried with radio on and off (I assume this meant just disabling the phone in the connection manager?)
Things I've tried on my own account:
Doing it with and without the sim card installed
Trying multiple hard resets
Tried installing EnableRAPI but not the other one (some instructions left that peice out).
So basically i've spent a good 8 total hours on this (of course in the background of other activities) and tried load, fixed an reloading at least 15-20 times without success. The rest of the time has been spent searching the forums because I do not want to be the guy who swears at the creator or complains about it when they are doing something wrong. I see my problem (freezing at the boot screen) a number of places in the forum but never seems to be an educated person explaining what they tried.
So I've come to the conclusion that maybe it doesn't work on all phones or I'm doing something really stupid but apparently common and not easily figured out by myself (thinking too hard about it?)
im assuming you are using Shell Tool made by MuN
here is my advice:
-flash the wizard rom (i was unable to flash any other Rom until i got the wizard love in it)
-make sure you enable both cabs (rapi and the other one)
-turn on figth mode (i know you did this step and i can see that you are following all the instruction but hey we are almost out of options )
-close any antivirus or firewall (probably you did this too)
-do not have any other application running in the background
just so you know i was unabe to flash the xplore core 2.0n, i had to flash it at least 3 times going back to the wizard love (i guess this is something like hit-or -miss thing)
-try the wizard love and then flash the Rom that you want you should be able to flash it.
hope i helped in any way.
THANKS -
I've always flipped back to the TMobile a bit faster than maybe I should have. I guess the question is, if I keep trying it should work? Has anyone just determined that on certain new G4's that this option isn't valid?
I think I'm going to try the following:
Rainbow Mode USB Connection
T-Mobile original rom
Hard Reset
Wizard Love Rom
Hard Reset
Guest Sync
Copy Files
unplug USB
Enable Rapi and Other file (don't know why I can't remember the damn name)
Wait 2 minutes
Soft Reset
ShellTool Load all options except "OK"
Guest Sync
Hard Reset
Pray......
It if doesn't work I'm going to revert back to wizard love and redo the above 3 times.
At that point I'm calling it quits....

i would guest sync first and then shell tool load all options (dont know if this would make a difference but it a possiblity) then flash, then hard reset and before all this PRAY LOL....
dont quit i know you probably are frustated but there is gotta be a way to do it.
ill search around to see if i find something.
I thought the problem was for G3 devices
Though the shelltool was made for G4 devices, I use it on my G3. I have ended with the same problem. I couldn't upgrade to PDAVIET 4, Underground, Faria's The Real Thing.
But I do know that you can get PDAVIET 3, mUn aRTM, and Xplore 1.1 to work. There might be more but I don't know. I also use the same methods that all of you have.
Also, the ones that worked only worked when i used EnableRAPI.cab not the certspcs.cab file. Maybe the same will work for you.
I also requested mUn for his code and will try to edit it to be able to add other parts of the ROM (extended and splash).
Sick of ROMs
I been trying so many variants of CrossBOW WM6 for my G4 Wizard but sick of it, they never work out. Only successful was the WM5 Wizard love ROM, wut could be the issue?
Happyware, when you are running the shell tool, how long does it run? On most of the roms I've tried, the shell tool runs at least 8 minutes. I had a problem with an email application on my PC that was checking for email every 5 minutes and was causing the shell tool to end prematurely. After I temporarily killed the email app, the shell tool was able to finish and I had a good flash.
BTW, here's the scenario I always follow when flashing a new rom:
Temporarily kill my email application
Make USB connection to Activesync
Revert to Cingular stock rom or wizard love rom
Copy cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab to the my documents folder on wizard
Install both cabs to main memory, wait 2 minutes, soft reset
Turn on flight mode
Start shell tool
Shell tool runs for approx. 8 minutes
Hard Reset
I don't know what it's doing after the hard reset, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes to load the first time.
^^Exactly.....thats why I messed up my 1st 4 flashes because I wasnt patient.....after u do a hard reset for some reason that 1st time it takes forever for the rom to load up but it does. Also I agree w/ using wizard love, I couldnt flash anything until I that rom loaded up now I flash 1st time every time.
G4 No Luck either
Same as Happyware here.. No luck flashing my rig. with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 ROM. The shell prog. cant even tell if its CID lucked or Unlucked.

Flight mode "ON" ????? Thought the instructions said OFF
I think it might relate to specific phone models
I tried many times and got into the exact same situation as Happyware. The phone just freezes at the bootloader stage with the following info:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I am pretty sure I followed every steps in the instruction as I spent the last 6 hrs playing with it to no avail. Is there anyone could help? Appreciate it.
I spent some time with it last night and this morning and this is what I've come up with.
I have the T-mobile MDA G4 Wizard. The Faria ROM included in the all-in-one kit simply would not flash to my device. After 2 minutes the flash would stop abruptly as if it had finished, when it simply couldn't have gone that quickly.
I tried several times, following each step exactly as I should have. It simply wouldn't work. When I hard reset the device after flashing, I was stuck on the same screen as the rest of you.
I then went back to the original T-Mobile ROM and then tried flashing with Orwell (wi6ard) and it flashed in 8 minutes and my phone APPEARS to be working normally. I haven't tried making any calls since I don't get reception in my home on any of my 4 phones (Wizard, Herald, and 2 RAZRs).
So I would recommend if you are having the same problem, you might try a different ROM.

I have to agree with you... After several tries with the same ROM (Orwell´s) I decided to use WM6 Reloaded 1.5 and it worked just fine with my G4.
Now... Im having some issues (lol) with a strange behavior thingy. My phone turns itself on and dials random numbers (specially letters U Y T D A). Made a soft reset already, no-go. Hard reset, no-go. Flashed back to 2.26 and to WM6, no go
I wonder if its a virus stored in my 2GB Ultra II miniSD card Ive read a lot about AV SW been a scam in WM OS. I gotta try an antivirus b4 getting into wrong conclusion. I dont think its a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know... Or if theres a separate thread on this...
Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
I've tried to search to see if anybody has ever encountered a problem like this, but my search was in vain.
I was trying to upgrade ROM, I successfully load SPL 3.5, before it I was running AP dual 3.0. However after the installation the device rebooted and the started auto customisation. It installed SDAautorun and then SDConfig.txt but before this one completes, the device reset itself. It restarted and do the same process again and again, just restart and restart.
I tried all types of resets and I even tried to reinstall other roms that worked with the device before but nothing is any good. This is because when the device boots it load the SPL 3.5 (Windows mobile 6.1) instead of installing the ROM I'm trying to install.
I get a chance to do so as the device can still connect to the computer and it stops when it prompts to callibrate the screen (tap four corners and center of the screen)
Please help me if there is anything I could do to start using my device again. I appriciate any support in advance. It is very possible that I've messed up something somewhere but please once again do help me, even if the by telling me that my Ameo is a brick that would help me to know what I've got to do.
NB: My device is T Mobile Ameo (Athena, Advantage X7500)

my phone worked fine for a week but since yesterday I am facing this weird problem, my phone gets stuck and when I do a soft reset, the phone actually gets a hard reset every time.
what is the problem,
well after a hard reset I connected it to pc on active sync and it is working fine till now
ok it worked but I have another problem.
Many times when I reset or turn on the phone, it gets stuck in start and does not load windows, I have to hard reset the device.
What is this problem?
You either need to install a stock ROM before re-installing the ROM you want or you need to check for bad blocks using MTTY.
Do a search to find out about bad blocks...

anyone have any suggestions

Right, looking at the ROM sheharyar was using, its a big storage ROM. You need to install a stock rom first, preferably stripped of the radio rom, and go through the complete setup. It seems to stabilize the memory. You can then re-install the big storage ROM. It should now be stable.
If you need to install Hard SPL then go to page 116, post 1160 of the" Hard SPL or how not to brick your Hermes" thread. It gives you instruction on how to install via the sd card method.
After installing Hard SPL you can use the sd card method to install roms. Just drop the steps using sspl.exe. Also use a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32. Watch the spelling of hermimg.nbh as it won't work with mistakes.
Also make sure you have good battery level.
Happy flashing...
I recently flashed to the new AT&T Test ROM 5.08. Basically I want to flash an energy rom over the AT&T and am having issues. Any rom I try to flash will go the gray loading screen on the phone and then hang up and gives the error 260 connection lost. I tried running the Raphael custom RUU before flashing the energy rom and I get an error 240 trying to run the custom ruu. I tried running the raphael unsigned hardspl and that only takes me to the black screen. From the black screen I've tried running the custom ruu and energy rom and nothing happens. Can anyone help me because I'm tired of this rom and I can't get anywhere!
Power off your device, hold the Volume Down button (keep hodling it), turn the device back on.
You should see the TriColor BootLoader screen; it should halt with USB or SERIAL displayed on the bottom white portion of the screen. Note the information that appears on the screen and post the details. To return to normal device operation, remove the battery for 30 seconds and put it back in.
That should assist us in determining the next steps.
HTH,
Screen appears:
RAPH110
SPL-5.08.0000
PSOC-Raph STAGE-CVT V0x36
PCBID 0x00
RID 0x0
Serial
It would appear that the HardSPL did not "take" or hasn't been applied yet. Here's the link to the HardSPL thread and Wiki page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_HardSPL
Once the HardSPL is applied, you should be able to flash custom ROM's to your device. If you need a "refresher" on flashing, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Lastly, although optional, you may want to consider performing a SIM unlock.
HTH,
It freezes the phone on the gray loading screen when trying to hardspl and then gives the 260 error code connection lost. I followed all the guides and nothing works (hence the point of starting the thread in the first place). I am a noob, but not a complete idiot that can't read guides. I understand if I can't hardspl, then I can't flash a rom. Well the hardspl does not work for me! I have tried the unsigned version which freezes the phone loses connection. I've tried the raphael wrapper which only takes me to the black screen and gives the error 240. From the black screen I cannot run spl or roms. I tried running stock spl's. I don't understand how the Test ROM flashed fine and now I can't flash anything.
The test rom worked fine because you don't need hard spl to flash it; it matched the carried id of your phone (CID). Hard spl CID-unlocks your phone, so you can flash non-ATT roms.
You should never try to flash a custom rom without hard spl. In the best case scenario, you'll be stonewalled. You need to use the wrapper that comes with the hard spl package to flash hard spl. Using any other wrapper is a waste of time. It says this clearly in the hard spl thread, where you should have posted your question. If you read the last 50 or so posts of that thread, you'll come across a post by Captain Throwback. He had some problems flashing H-spl, and he found some tricks to get it going. I suggest that you search the thread for his how-to. My guess is that you're forgetting something obvious, like turning off your anti-virus software or installing net framework 3.5 on your pc (if it isn't already there). You have to flash hard spl off of your pc, so don't even bother trying to flash it off your sd card. It's probably easier to do it off of XP than Vista.
I already tried the raphael wrapper as I stated twice. Raphael wrapper takes me to the black screen (where I read about the post by captain throwback). I followed everyones instructions that got it to work and still the same thing happens. The Wrapper only takes me to the black screen where I cannot do anything because the computer isn't synced with my Fuze and will not. Then the error 260 message comes up saying that there is no connection. Hence the point the wrapper won't work even with xp, antivirus turned off and 3.7 framework (even tried going back to 3.5 and same thing). I even tried doing everything at home on my vista notebook and the same things happen.
I already tried the raphael wrapper as I stated twice. Raphael wrapper takes me to the black screen (where I read about the post by captain throwback). I followed everyones instructions that got it to work and still the same thing happens.

Few questions:
1) Under usual conditions, does the device establish a connection via ActiveSync?
2) Does the problem occur in a new user profile /w Admin priviledges on your XP workstation where you establish a Guest connection via ActiveSync to the device?
3) Have you tried a Hard Reset on your device prior to flashing HardSPL?
4) Have you removed the SIM and any SD Card for the time being?
5) Are you able to successfully flash a non-test version of an official AT&T ROM to your device?
1. Yes alot. Only use it for transferring files and battery charging.
2. No, registered device in activesync with full administrative rights to my workstation. I don't have any problems with losing connection during file transfer, etc.
3. Yes, did a hard reset a couple weeks ago and same thing. Possibly going to try it today again because I installed a couple programs before attempting hardspl the last time.
4. I take them out when trying to flash
5. No, I'm stuck with the AT&T Test ROM. Have tried ones on here that are supposed to be stock AT&T ROMs and the same thing happens.
Your response to #5 concerns me; just to make sure I understand ... you are unable to flash an official ROM to your device?
Here's the link to the latest official AT&T FUZE ROM:

Download the ROM and try flashing it to your device; if it fails ... time to call AT&T, you have a problem with your device.
HTH,

Is there a net framework 3.7 for pc's? Or are you talking about your phone? You need net framework 3.5 on your pc to run the flash. It won't work with 2.0. It doesn't matter which compact framework you have on the phone.
Did you already try putting your phone in Bootloader mode, and then connecting it to your PC? Does it load the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies/HTC/Pocket PC USB Sync driver? Did you make sure the SIM and SD cards were removed from your device? FYI - You HAVE to use the RUU that comes with HardSPL in order for it to flash successfully. If you've verified that your computer has installed the drivers, and then been unable to successfully complete HardSPL, I'm not sure what to tell you. Do you press "yes" on the Device when running the HardSPL RUU & you're prompted to run the program?
Those are all the suggestions I have.
Last night as I was driving home my phone kept disconnecting as it was charging. I finally found the answer! First time it ever did that. So its back to AT&T for a new one. Probably should have mentioned that the phone was submerged in the toilet (thank god before the #2) a couple months ago. The phone went crazy and started saying error messages with email and then lines going thru it. But after a couple days of drying it worked fine again.
