Hi all,
For some reason my car charger has fried the USB port on my M3100 so I can no longer charge or sync it. Orange are sending a replacement out tomorrow, but I had just upgraded the phone to the new HTC Rom. Obviously I need to get it back to being the Orange one.
As I can't do it via USB I am trying to flash the Orange ROM on using the SD method. However, when the phone resets after PWR+OK+SoftReset all I get is the tricolour screen with the following on it:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olpro
Serial
I've extracted the .nbh file from the Orange .exe and have formatted my SD card as both FAT & FAT32 in Vista but with no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance folks,
Bobby
Rename the .NBH file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card. Make sure there is NOTHING else on the card.
I've formatted the card twice and put just the renamed HERMIMG.nbh file on it but it still doesn't work. I've never had a problem with the SD slot, or the card, so I don't think it could be that.
Funny, but i remember that it did not work here too... Flash just did not start at all, even if there was HERMIMG.nbh, and it was the only file on the card... Tried both FAT32 and FAT too. Funny. It was in the case of X01HT 1.09 original bootloader, if I remember right...
Did you have any luck getting it to work? Or is it looking like I should have an unfortunate accident with some h2o before they come for it?
try doing the same with SSPL if you can't get it to work from bootloader, or try using another microSD card. Or try resetting a few times... but don't throw h2o on it!
I can't get anything to work via the miniUSB port so nothing that runs on the PC will help. I've just noticed that the tricolour screen comes on, then for a fraction of a second the screen goes grey with 'Loading No Image Found' then back to the tricolour.
The only other SD I can get my hands on is the same make as mine, so I doubt it would make any difference. And I've reset it loads of times while doing this but still nothing. I've tried sticking another nbh file on the card to see if it was just the Orange one it couldn't see, but a radio only one still didn't work.
It had all been going so well...
Hold on, I might have cracked it...
Nope, not yet. It gets as far as showing EXTROM - OK and the progress bar gets about a quarter of the way along then it seems to lock up. The bar hadn't moved for well over 10 mins, so I've soft reset it. Its has the first Orange splash screen now, but the rest is still the HTC ROM. Its a start I suppose.
Hurrah! Rejoice! Its worked, and is back to the slow old crippled Orange ROM. Thanks for your help folks, much appriciated.
Roll on tomorrow night when I get to update my new one all over again!

Hi all,
I've been using Erofich's WM6.1 Standard rom for some time now and decided to try WM6.1 Pro having used it briefly in the past. Anyway, long story short - I flashed following the usual procedure using img-93233-RUU_STAR100_WM61PRO_V2.exe and the process failed around 40%
No big deal I think, re-flash and go again, however, the device now boots to the tricolor boot loader screen and I can't progress any further.
I've tried flashing from, WM6.1 Standard Erofich & a stock rom I have lying about (RUU_STAR100_3.6.251.0_02.67.30_QtekEUR_Ship.exe) but both timeout with the error 260, device couldn't be found.
I've also tried flashing from my FAT32 formatted SD card using the stock rom named as STARIMG.nbh and the WM6.1 Standard Erofich out of desperation.
Is this thing goosed?

Thanks for looking at this thread Erofich, I downloaded several different versions of mtty but all those with a USB option in the menu simply state "USB port can not open"
I heard mention that v1.46 works a little better but can't find it anywhere.
I've rebooted the PC & phone, disabled ActiveSync USB connections etc.
I see the USB display in the boot loader toggle on/off when I connect/disconnect from my XP box, but no sign of anything in Device manager
Not looking so hot I think?

OK, I think this is my **** up, I pulled down the iMate shipped WWE rom and dropped that on the SD card and it find's it first time. This could mean one of 2 things I think
1: I'm an idiot for using the QTEK stock rom not the IMATE rom on my iMate device
2: Placing the battery cover held the SD card in tighter??!
Upshot is, I'm running again - do I try the Pro or stick with Standard?! I'll let you know how it pans out
Thanks for your help
I've since re-flashed to WM6.1 Pro V2 and everything went fine. I'm not sure what happened to the first attempt & can only assume I cocked up attempting to flash from SD card first couple of times round.
Loving the work on Pro by the way Erofich
Hi, I`m having some serious issues when trying to flash my HERMES. As far as I can tell, it is SIM Unlocked, but not sure if it`s CID unlocked. it`s SPL-1.06, and I can't seem to get it to install HARDSPL. I have tried, and tried and tried and tried. I've tried flashing VIA SD-CARD, but it just says "LOADING" and displays a number at the top, then goes back to the bootloader screen.
When I am flashing via the wizard, it'll go into the bootloader screen, and the wizard will fail saying it cannot connect "CONNECTION ERROR"...
I am at my wits ends, and cannot figure this out for the life of me. I have had 3 TYTN's now, and this one has gotten the better of me. I was able to flash both of my other TYTN's, but unfortunately I got the WSD, and cannot repair them, they are both beyond my technical knowledge of repairs...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help....
Trying so hard to get this done...
Copied the .nbh (ren to hermimg.nbh) to my SDCARD and reset into bootloader, as I said, it just came up "LOADING" then back to bootloader....
I'd rip my hair out if I had any..
any help would be appreciated..
***UPDATE - I don't know what the hell happened, but suddenly, this bugger is letting me flash VIA SD. It's a damned miracle!
Just out of the blue, it asked me to flash via SD in the bootloader. Thank goodness! After 3 hours, I finally got it working..
Cheers all!
if you need more info, just ask, I will provide all I can....

Okay, when you're in the "bootloader" method, have you renamed the file that you're trying to flash "HERMIMG.NBH".
also, try to use the "stripped" AT&T ROM first, see if that'll help correct the issue.
Did you flash that first before you attempted to flash a different ROM on your Hermes? I've read in many different posts that it is highly suggested to flash that first then flash your ROM to your Hermes.
Should always flash via SD-Card, not recommending flashing via USB Wizard.
Try the "stripped" rom first, on a formatted (FAT32) microSD card, and see if that helps.
Cheers
i have download the "stripped" AT&T ROM ,it also the same ,when using USB method ,it stuck at 1% and my devide reboot .
when using SD card method ,it show (loading ...) about 2 second ,then it will back to tri-color mode there .

I had that exact same problem.
I noticed that I hadn't named the file properly.
It's HERMIMG.NBH I kept putting in HERMING.NBH. It's kind of funny, but it's an easy mistake. When you boot with the "HERMIMG.NBH" it should flash. I used the HARDSPL V7, which can be downloaded at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722, which is a "sticky" for this forum. Try flashing that one. Also, double check your .nbh file, make sure it's HERM IMG not HERM ING
That was the problem I was having too, it would just show "LOADING" and a bunch of numbers then drop to the bootloader... Then all of a sudden... "POOF" it worked, after I double checked the file and noticed my spelling error.
Now, if you have that fixed and still getting the error, it might be something else. I'm not sure how to exactly fix that, but as I said, mine was just a minor spelling error.. The exact spelling that I have, don't know if it is case sensitive, is "HERMIMG.nbh"
if it is case sensitive, that could also be a minor issue.
try it, if it works, then bingo, you're back in business, if not, then I'm not sure how else to fix it.
Cheers!
>.< ,now i type correct word "HERMIMG" ,it shown loading ... and (00068002) on the top of loading ... ,now it ,have better improvement ,it show loading ... for about 5 second only jump back to tri-color there ,izit this is the normal procedure ?

Okay, we're getting there. But still a long way off from it working as it should.
Okay, do you know if your phone is HARDSPL?
If you haven't already HARDSPL your phone, you should download that and try to flash that onto your phone.
Also sounds like it isn't SUPERCID. You'll have to CID unlock your phone, which is a good possibility as to why it isn't accepting other ROMS.
If your phone responds to the flash wizard when you download a ROM then get the SUPERCID and try to flash that one first, then move on to the HARDSPL.
For the SUPERCID, and my previous post has the HARDSPL.
At least the situation is improving, and your phone is starting to respond.
We'll get it working!
The HARDSPL you have to follow most of the "manual" installation instructions, and copy, then rename the "HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh" file.
Try to flash that file, and we'll see if we can get it going.
Cheers
i think my phone not yet HARDSPL ,can you guide me to do this ?
i search the web ,it show me to here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722" izit correct ?
and also superCiD:
1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe
3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer
or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.
5. Insert microSD card on your phone
6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.

Attached is the HARDSPL file, already named "HERMIMG.nbh, which you just need to copy onto your SD-CARD.
When those are successful you will be able to flash any rom you want (provided it is as Hermes ROM)....
But as of right now, your phone is NOT bricked. It just currently has no ROM on it.
Have you tried to HARD-RESET your phone?
That's the two soft keys at the bottom of the phone, above the SEND and about the END keys.
Press and hold BOTH of those, then press the "RESET" button on the bottom of the phone. That'll hard-reset the phone.
I'm not saying to do that, just asking if you've tried that option yet.
Good luck, let me know how it's going.
Cheers!

Glad the problem was solved, and very happy to help!
Absolutely I can.
First thing is first, we have to SUPERCID unlock your phone, and we have to HARDSPL your phone.
Run the HARDSPL first, because the wizard will actually temporarily superCID your phone, so that you can install the HARDSPL, which will help prevent you from ever bricking your phone.
with your phone plugged in for activesync, you have to run the "autounlocker.bat" file in the SUPERCID. What this will do is make your phone accept other custom ROMS, whether it is from another carrier, or one of the ROMS that someone has developed on here.
After this, I would highly suggest, that if you ever flash your phone again with another ROM, do it the "SD-CARD" way. I'd only use the wizard to flash the HARDSPL and the SUPERCID.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers!
Hehe ,My friend ,i had flash my phone with WM6.5 rom ,my device was Dopod838pro ,it is old device ,for my opinion WM6.5 not so suitable for my device ,but WM6.5 look amazing >.<
heh! Nice! Well sounds like your phone is now back amongst the living! That's good news! Hope you have many years of enjoyment with your phone!
Glad to have been of help for you!

Unfortunately, no, I don't. You'd have to get a Vanilla, or a "lite/ultralite" rom. That's about the best I can suggest, unfortunately with the hermes, it does have a smaller ROM size, and limited RAM compared to the new, more up-to-date modern phones, like the 8925(Kaiser), or the new Tilt 2..

I tried flashing the MrDSL's WM6.5 ROM to my Hermes. Of course I followed the direction, I have Hard SPL (ever since Schaps rom) and stripped ATT flashed first.
However when I started flashing this rom, when I reached about 5% on the progress bar, I keep on getting Error. I followed the Recovery Steps and luckily I get the Tri-color mode and the process says Recovery successful. I then proceeded with the flashing but still getting errors, then recovery, then continue, then error again. Its been 10th try now.
Finally I canceled the update but I can only get the tri-color screen. Tried to Softreset as well as Hardreset but no go....my screen only gives me the Tri-color mode.
Any advice please....
thank you very much...
EDIT.....
problem solved sorry for that post.
what I did was:
1. flashed again the stripped ATT ROM....success!
2. flashed again MrDSL's WM6.5 titanium ROM (titanium)....success!
Dopod 838 Pro working again!
thanks again!!!
Bootloader shows but phone won't flash
Hey everyone,
I'm not new to
flashing my Hermes.
I'm just having an
issue I've never ran
into and can't figure
out. I would
appreciate some
assistance.
The strangest thing
is happening to me
while attempting to
flash from my
storage card. I put
the phone in
bootloader mode
and it takes
(IPL-1.04 /
SPL-2.10.olipro).
Then on the bottom
Serial shows and it
never goes to the
next step and ask
me do I want to
flash the new image.
I put the att original
on the 2gb storage
card over and over
and over and
renamed it
HERMIMG.nbh over
and over and over
and just am
flabbergasted. The
phone is not bricked,
it just refuses to
flash again.
Does anyone here
have any solutions
or suggestions?
PS - I have
formatted the card
to fat32 and I have
checked it for errors.
The HERMIMG.nbh
file is on the root of
the storage card.
My phone's boot loader says SPL 1.42.0000XE. I have not upgraded to any custom rom since I bought the phone in Feb this year.
I decided to do a hard reset since the screen was frozen and soft reset did no good.
Hard reset was successful, but after that it landed on white screen and would not proceed.
I read some articles and downloaded a stock rom RUU_signed_0409.nbh from one of the links. I even copied it to the 8gb sd card that came with my phone. It does say that it is formatted as FAT 32. I renamed the file as leoimg.nbh, reset the phone and pressed the vol down key.
Now it shows the boot loader screen, then says "loading..." forever.
Please help! - By the way, I could never find a WWE version of 1.42.0000 SPL link to download.
i've got the same prob right now.
~ updated my phone with HSPL3 < all went well and finished OK
Phone is rebooting and working
~ now I want to try a different ROM and while installing it via
Active Sync it's giving an USB Error or this LOADING...
When trying to put the new ROM onto the SD Card with leoimg.nbh
it starts with LOADING...
....
I can reboot via removing battery and after that the phone boots up normal.
It's also working. But i can't do any flashes anymore.

Yes; using the right stock ROM (the one from your aria)
or using GoldCard technique.
Put the HD2 into bootloader and then connect via usb. Run the flash file. This will only work if you are using a rom that your carrier supports as you have said you don't have HSPL...
have you solved the problem?
I cant solve this problem either, i´ve been looking for information on the internet the whole day.
Yesterday, i tried to flash my htc hd2 following a tutorial, and I used HSPL3(although I dont know if it really work, because my htc still says 2.08.0000 without the hspl, can somebody clarify this for me, please?), and after that I tried MTTY(Here starts my problem) just as the tutorial says, and then my htc restart, so I tried to flash it via the MicroSD card, but it stays stuck on a white screen which says "loading...", after that I tried to turn it up without the bootloader, but it stayed stuck on the logo screen.
Could somebody please help me???
I would really appreciate it.

Two things I have learn;
If you install stock ROM over SD it will remove your HSPL.
And if you see 2.08.0000 spl on your bootscreen than the installation of HSPL was unsuccessful.
OMG...!

Soo what do you think i can do?

Hi,
Did you manage to fix the issue? Is your phone a branded one? The best way to go about is to find the stock ROM for your device and then flash it using the SD card method. This will update your ROM and SLP to stock. From there, you should be able to install HSPL and any custom ROMs.
Tazeem
Good
I'm very sorry to be "upset"with this subject, but I'm desperate and really need to get my hd2 meeting and I see no solution and I'm really super desperate
I have a htc hd2 and had made a HSPL 1.61.00 to upgrade to the latest radio.
Now after some time I decided to update the rom to official rom, but I made a task 29, and tried to make the SD flash.
This went wrong and now I can not do any flash or boot by the mobile phone gets stuck with the screen saying "loading" after passing the phase of bootload.
I dont know how to do , i bricked my phone , and i need help because i dont understand this :s
I'm not an expert in WM but ive done some flashes in other htc devices.
Some portuguese can help me plese?
Algum portugues me pode ajudar por favor ?
Best Regards
Hi,
I think as long as your pone get´s into bootloader mode, it shouldn´t be bricked.
Did you try to put HSPL 2.08 on it, and then flash the origial ROM via USB?
Did you use the Gold Card method to flash from SD Card?
Did you check this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534 ?
pronor
Flashing from SD card.
1. How is it formatted?
2. How big is it the card (Storage wise)?.
Always seems to work with my 2gb SD card formatted as FAT32 & Default Allocation size.
I know, this topic is old, but I have the same problem.
I tried via USB and via different SD-Cards and no matter what hspl, no matter what rom, it always stops at 10%. I also tried Task 29 etc....
Broken, right?
Edit:
Alright, after around 30 tries, I managed to get a Radio installed. The phone only boots when you take out the battery for a couple minutes. The stock ROM update failed again at 8% again. I managed to flash the smallest 6.1 ROM, but the phone won't boot. The phone also sometimes vibrates 7 times. I guess, the flash memory is corrupted or something. Probably happened when flashing magldr. Other people have experienced the same...
