GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.6.2.1
it's a G3 wizard. My problem is that it has the T-Mobile original german ROM and i want it in english. i have read most of the forums here and tried many ideas i found here but nothing helped me so far... i tried cid unlock with lokiwiz,it shows me that is unlocked but when i try to flahh it with the .exe flasher,downloaded Rom-s for it from here,it's not working. I have Win7 now and i tried with Windows mobile device center sync software for win7 and nothing,i tried in Win xp with activesync and nothing,the same simpthomes. It syncs,detects my ppc,i start the RUU,detects the Rom i have,but when i get to the flash window,just after it tells me that the flash process will take about 10 minutes,my ppc disconnects,enters in the bootloader mode,connection is lost and RUU ends with an error window that tells me that the memory could not be read.
My ppc is not sim locked,i can use whatever sim i want with it.
please help me,i am a desperate newbie. thanks.

I recently purchased a SPV M3100 after reading many great reviews on this device.
I have just unlocked it using the HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker v3a using my old Windows XP laptop and it works great (I've tried using my Vista ultimate 64 computer earlier it didn't work).
I am now interested in upgrading my SPV M3100 to latest software available from Orange or the WM6 roms available on this site like Black Dymond, really keen in seeing its potential.
I have read through the Hermes upgrading forums carefully and made sure all is done properly. I have even read through the Mr Vanx step guides in upgrading.
First I decided to use the Orange update from their website.
After making sure the USB cables are connected correctly and allowing the WMDC to sync I proceeded to run the update.
I followed each step and tick the boxes. The phone goes into the tricolour mode or bootloader screen with the following on the screen:
Herm100
IPL-1.01
Herm100
SPL-1.40
On the computer, the window 'verifying your device' is on for few minutes, after this a new window appears indicating: ERROR 260 - update error
This happens again and again, day after day, I have soft reset the device, rebooted the computer, tried both the XP and vista computers, check the usb cable and connections, did everything that is said in the forums, but nothing....
I have even attempted to use the HardSPL program and followed the process to load the black dymond, but same message appears.
Must note that after soft resetting the device the phone returns to its original state, so no harm done. but no upgrade....... Damm...
Help... Any ideas ...... Please....
Many thanks

Update your WMDC to the latest version.
Then try again
Thanks for your prompt reply...
I thought when I originally installed the WMDC was the latest version as I have downloaded it from the Microsoft windows mobile website....
I have downloaded the appropiate Vista 64 version for my vista machine and the appropiate xp version for my xp laptop...
Did you download the latest version...are you sure??
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
Same problem -> Error 260 if I try to upgade.
Hi
I hve the same issue. Tried on Windows XP and Vista.
Also downlaoded the latest WMDC.
Could that be something with the area code?
I'm in Norway.
For XP should you not be using ActiveSync 4.5?
I re-flahed my M3100. The first attempt it failed, it then recovered itself and the second attemp was successful.
Im sure I have, just downloaded the other day, anyway I have downloaded it again just now, installed it, connected my phone and allowed the sync process to complete. I run the orange update again and still the same message..... Error 260: update error
What SPL version do you have?
To check press and hold BOTH the side ok button and the power button, then insert the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the device.
I have SPL 1.40 Olipro
So i take it you havent read or searched on this error, the orange RUU cannot recognise your device because you have anewer SPL version (HardSPL)...ffs dude had you told us that fact it would have saved you PLENTY of time. You posted you had SPL version 1.40...................you SHOULD have said you have already updated to HArdSPL (1.40.olipro)
follow my Safe WM5 Flashing Guide to get it done.
Sorry if I have wasted your time. I thought that I included the my phone details (SPL and rom etc) on my original message.
I have searched for this error, but I gather I wasn't getting anywhere...
So I thought I would ask for some help and advice....
Anyway thanks for replying with your help. I will check your link straight away.
If I still have problems, I hope it would be ok to ask in this thread.
Thankx Mr Vanx for all your help.
It is now working. I've loaded the WM6 Black IV Shadow rom.
Do you know when there will be a 3G / video dialer for this rom.
Many thanks

Did you also read the wiki to see how to install hardspl to protect your device BEFORE flashing ?(here: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )? Are you using Olipro hardspl?
Try to use the SDCARD method (Format a sdcard in FAT32. Copy the nbh file on it and rename it HERMIMG.NBH. Insert the card and HR : OK/POWER/Soft reset. Follow the instructions)
i tested that but didn't help
does anybody have any suggestion??
Try solution to reeboot ( sometimes helps)
1. get out SIM and SD card
get mtty http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9864
2. Make BL mode on Hermes
2a on PC ActiveSync - coonection properties untick allow to connect by USB
3. start mtty on PC , choose USB and enter.
4. next enter.
5. type set 14 and enter
6. type task 8 and enter
OS have to boot if no go to 7
7. enter
8 type set 16 and enter
9. type task 8 and enter
Hope that will boot
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Pretty much all the info on unbricking is in this table by Pof. If this doesn't sort you out then you're have to send it off to imeicheck etc for repair.
The history so far
I have bricked my jasjam while updating to telstra wm6
I have not super CID my device before upgrading to telstra wm6
Now my device freezed at second splash screen
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.03
NO GSM
when i used the info 6 command on mtty it says NO CID
i can not upgrade my device from SD CARD (memory stick)
i used these command on MTTY.exe but no improvement
set 14
task 8
set 16
task 8
when i tried to rom upgrade using any ruu (ruuwraper,.....) it only shows 1% and my device reboots and ....
any suggestions????
I hope you understand this, Basically if
1. You have a "No GSM"
2. Your CID is corrupted
3. Your OS has no KITL mode
4. You didn't use HARDSPL...
Then your phone is screwed, and you need to buy a new one or send it to repair.
Hope you have better luck with your next phone. (you seem to be collecting bricked phones!)

The offical I-mate telstra Jasjam rom for WM6 came out recently previous to that i just kept the original WM5 rom that it came with much to the dismay of my peers, actually considered it a few times but decided against it till the official rom came out.
yeah if you follow the instructions for the WM6 rom you use it should be ok however the "Murphys law" of programming tends to suggest there will always be an error that they dont allow for.

This has NOTHING to do with only using official Roms! One has pretty much the same chance of bricking their phone evening using an official WM6 as a cooked variant from Schaps et al..
Simply put if you don't use HardSPL then you're asking for trouble no matter what the ROM. You should also use the MicroSD wherever possible as it is much more reliable.
imei check use jtag to fix this

install that and cid unlock the phone , your phone is cid unlocked at the moment but you have soft spl installed. Hard spl is safer to have. Once you have flashed hardspl you should be able to install any rrom for the hermes you fancy. I have used most of the roms on here ad some are good for one thing some are good for another reason.

Hi
Thats great! I did that had to wait 6 Hours for timeout but unlocked and running Windows Mobile 6. Im thinkinf about making an idiots guide PDF. Or has it been done? I think MrVanx should be reccomended too!
Hello Everybody,
My mobile at&t 8525 alias HTC 8525 is stuck in windows operator logo.It would not boot further. It happened while I tried to upgrade it from Windows 5.0 to Windows 6.0.First I got a tri-colour screen,but in a hurry I tried to backgrade to windows 5.0 again.
Other problem the mobile cannot be synced. I have installed Microsoft Active sync 4.5. Even then it could not be synced.
I tried to read all the posts ,but could not understand anything.
So please help me in getting my mobile repaired
Don't worie.
I had somewhat the same issue with a bad ROM flash.
Just disconnect the USB and boot to the bootloader screen (the tricolour screen) and you should be able to reflash the phone again.
Problem in syncing the mobile
I am not able to sync the mobile to the laptop.I have installed Microsoft Active sync 4.5. Even then it is not syncing.So how could I run the hermes upgrade if the mobile is not helping.
Please help
In Activesync on PC - Untick "Allow USB Connections".
Put the Hermes into bootloader (tri-colour screen) and connect by usb. Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe file you want. Follow onscreen instructions.
You need to have installed Hard SPL V7 for this to work...
did not work
Hello Boss
I tried to follow the procedure you suggested me. but it did not work. I tried with Hard SPl 7.0.
Please give me some suggestion
you dont need an active sync connection to flash it. Enter bootloader(tri colour screen) as you were told in the previous posts and Just click on the boxes that you do have a connection(even though you dont) and then flash the rom.
@ultramag69 i hve never had to untick allow usb connections and i have cocked up loads of rom flashes, saying that i have never had a problem flashing in vista either so maybe i am lucky
If you still cant flash doing it this way, then maybe you should try flashing from sd card instead, just make sure the battery is fully charged. Full instructions of how to do this are found in the hermes wiki, which i advise you to read anyway.
Oh and good luck anyway, you should be able to recover the phone from this ,so i wouldnt fret too much
Guess he isnt hardspl'ed... then his batt is death... must to flash a shipped rom.
correct me if im wrong.
Problem with upgrade At&T 8525 mobile
Hi!
I'm having problems with my Cingular 8525, after I made the upgrade to WM6.1 (FARIA-R32-XDA2_WM6.1.rar) for WM 6.5 (FCWs_stock_like_6.5_v3.rar), and slowed my device does not work anymore. He died.
I need help please. How resurrect it?
Excuse my English.
english is not the problem here cause we need more info... device info SPL IPL hardSPL? you go from 6.5 to 6.1?
Do you try to flash first the Stripped?
Does your batt has charge enough to boot?
There are many many things to say so... start to tell us all your history!
Hi
I tried to Hard spl with Hard Splv7. But I got a error. I even tried the Sd Card method.Its says loading and I get the tricolour mode. If I press the Power button its not showing the status of upgradation.
Where can I get a shipped rom. Actually my Spl is 1.11.

check the wiki pages for your device in the upper bar of this web forums
there are many official roms.
I also am currently using an 8525 (Herm100). It was received from an Ebay deal with WM5. I flashed it with the ATT OEM WM6pro (aka shipped wm6). Once it hit the three color boot screen, it sat on that for a couple of minutes then started cooking. Once it showed a progress bar, it took about 3 minutes to cook the WM6 over the WM5. It also showed a popup that stated going back to WM5 was not an option.
I would suggest running the installer again and going down to 7-11 for a refreshment. You may not have let it percolate long enough to set itself up for the actual ROM overwriting.

i'm trying with hard spl from Pof soft but error getting.
Can someone find a time to help me?
hallooo
experts please!
Hello haveri,
what ROM are you trying to start? I was stuck on HTC logo too, when I tried to start a ROM without installing Striped ROM first, which was highly needed. So I done hard reset(three color screen), and flashed again.
For starters, put in bootloader, connect to PC (1st untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync) and run Hard SPL V7. Install it on your Herms and hope it works because otherwise you are in for a whole heap of hairpulling frustration...
If you get Hard SPL onto your Hermes then use the sd card method to flash a new rom...
You could have avoided this by doing a little research instead of going full pelt into flashing, you Hard SPL BEFORE you get into trouble, NOT AFTER....
Hi guys,
I have a similar problem with a T-Mobile branded TyTn from a friend of mine who thought flashing ROMs without putting device into HardSPL would be clever.
The devices has also IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.03 and from the bootscreen it looks like WM5 should have been installed. I also get the "NO GSM" message and I REALLY tried every fking method but without success.
I even created a Goldcard (and verified on another device it's working, level 0 instead FF) and tried to flash several ROMs (also Cingular WM5 ROM and original german T-Mobile ROM) but no luck.
I also tried to run HardSPL V7 but as far as I remember it just said it cannot connect.
Funny thing: HardSPL V9 DOES start flashing and on the PDA and the PC the bar shows 100% but some moments later it says "Could not update" (or something like that).
I even tried different mtty methods from several posts from the forum (erasing the NAND on different ways, qtek loader method with erasing the first blocks) but I'm really really frustrated now and I believe there is no solution here?! (device has no guarentee)
So, if someone has ANY hint or useful information write it down or send me a PM.
I gladly appreciate your help and hope for a solution!
Cheers
P.S.: I couldn't find any information saying Goldcard method works (or even exists) for Hermes. Can someone confirm it does really work?
