Hi all,
recently upgraded my i-mate with:
ROM version: 1.72.00wwe
Radio version: 1.14.00
and when trying to send sms, getting the following message: "the phone is not ready. wait 15 sec and try again".
The same message gettig when trying to make phone settings.
Does anyone have ever experienceâ the same problem, please help!
THNX!
Yup
You should really wait that long before you do anything to the phone. If you wait too little you'll end up wating more time as the timer seems tto reset whenever this message is shown. If you wait 30 seconds then everything is fine.
If you got this message after waiting several minutes when there might be something wroong with your flash. Mayby you should try a never radio stack e.t.c.
It takes a little getting use to, unfortunately.

Problem solved
If somebody is interested, I have solved my problem with reinstalling the upgrade. Empty PDA doing well until restoring backup. After back up, the same problem occurred. Then I did the following: hard reset and one by one installation of all programs that I had before. After each installation checking for any problem with sms. No problems so far.
Are yoy restoring a backup from a orevious version of WM2003? If so, this may be the cause of the problem. THe bacup process is known to restore a lot of system files along with your data and that can sometimes cause problems.

I had the same when I upgraded to 2.02 rom version, but left my radio version to 1.08.
I upgraded to 1.18 radio but I was left with a bootscreen only.
So I again burned the thing with 2.02 and 1.18 and everything was fine (except sms notifications)
I guess its an incompatiblity between your rom and radio somewhere...
This happened to me once... but what's really annoying is when you received a message, sometimes you'll see the pop-up message icon at the upper part (near the time and speaker). But on the today screen message, it doesn't appear to have a new message. Does this happen to you guys? This is really annoying...
i have a problem after the update to 1.72WWE
the problem with the SMS reports !
the device don't recieve them !
why?
Hi,
i flashed a rom 2 weeks ago, everything went well. yesterday i wanted to flash another os but before i could flash it, it seemed to get bricked. It stucks on the "HTC Splash" (not the WM6 Splash). I read a lot of threads and wiki threads but i don't unterstand anything! What i've to do to unbrick my phone? I tried to flash another rom but after 0% of flashing a error appears.... flashing with sd card doesn't work, too it changes to bootloader after the "Loading..." screen
i havent got hardspl or something...
please help!
UPDATE: i got the sd flashing to work... same thing but: now it stucks at the WM splash, not the t-mobile/htc one...
You need to find out what SPL you have (I'm guessing 2.03 but if you have 2.10 olipro then its got Hard SPl on it) and then do a search for "bricked SPL x.xx". You will probably find a HEAP of posts. However, some advice that seems to recover a small minority (sometimes with the "No GSM" error) -
1st thing to do is do a hard reset. Both softkeys and reset with stylus. Hold in all buttons until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press "R" on the slideout keyboard and the "Space".
Hopefully this will fix. If it doesn't, Put it in bootloader, connect to pc (make sure "Allow USB Connection" Active Sync settings have been unticked) and run the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. This is the rom the Hermes came with originally. This MAY fix it otherwise you're in for some major reading and hair pulling.
If you should fix this then PLEASE, for the love of god, Hard SPL your Hermes before going into the wide world of flashing.....
Good Luck...
thanks i'll try it. hard reset causes kinda... nothing^^
i hope i can fix it otherwise i'll buy a touch pro
...but i think it doesn't work, because i flashed a shipped rom via sd card yesterday and the problem is still there... isn't there any way to put hard spl on my device, yet?
Try re-installing the stock rom again using sd card (if thatys how you did it last time), it could've been a bad flash. I've had those a couple of times myself. Just remember to install Hard SPL if you're successful as it makes it SOOOO much easier to recover from bad flashes.
Last thing to check would be if you have "bad blocks" using MTTY. If the boot sector has been stuffed up this may cause this problem. Do a search through the wiki, its been covered extensively...
Cheers...
okay i think my problem is solved: t-mobile replaced my device
first thing i'll do with my new device: HardSPL^^
anyhow thanks!
Upgrade successful but now stuck
I have a Three (au) Dopod 838 pro, which I upgraded from the original Windows Mobile 5 to the Three Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM. Unfortunately I didn't read up on this site first, I thought it would be straightforward since it was a ROM from the manufacturer and all, so I haven't Hard SSPL.
The upgrade reported as successful and my PC disconnected but the phone won't boot, it sticks at the Dopod screen with some numbers at the bottom. They are:
M 05 R 1.47.30.10
S 04 G 32.80.7020.20H
B 07 D 3.54
I have tried hard resetting, and returning the phone to bootloader and reflashing the same new ROM image, always with the same result.
On the bootloader, it says
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
Is there anything which can be done or is it a trip to the service centre (wherever that is)?
Just checking - Hard reset = both soft keys above the dialler closest to the lcd and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Press r on slideout keyboard then space.
This is a hard reset, not just using the stylus.
Otherwise, you have a LOT of reading material to go through with (maybe) no actual solution.
Cheers...
tried that
Thanks, but yes, I had tried that, a number of times. I think the phone will be going to a service centre today.
Dear Members,
I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"
Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).
On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]
I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.
After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.
Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.
Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.
Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.
I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.
Thanks for your time.

If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.
Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.
3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Again problem!
Dear ultramag69,
Thank you for your fast reply.
I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.
And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.
After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.
First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.
However, I got the erro 286
I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|
I don't know what to do with this dead device now !
Thank you very very much for your time and help
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.
I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.
Cheers...
Hello ultramag69,
Thanks alot for your reply.
Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.
I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.
But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).
I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.
I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.
This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.
Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.
And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.

If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.
I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.
DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.
The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.
Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.
Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.
Cheers...
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.
Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.
I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.
After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).
And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.
Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?
I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.
I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?
I am very excited in getting it working again.
Thanks alot.
Cheers...
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.
Cheers...
I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.
Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
Hi All,
Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.
Thanks for your reply.
I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.
I am using the SD flush method.
Any suggestions ?
THank s alot for your help!
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...
If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.
Cheers...
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.
You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.
I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...
Cheers...
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.
Prost :-D
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.
Hello
I try to upgrade my second HTC Fuze, as same the first one I follow step by step the upgrade process for using TAEL ROM
ROM your trying to flash
TAEL ROM v3.23518
Is the device HardSPL'ed
Yes
Is the device unlocked
Yes
Flashing via USB or SD-Card
SD Card
Phone freezes on the splash boot image, with no option to enter to the bootloader mode.
How can I revive?
Pull the battery for a bit, then put it back in and either soft reset or go into bootloader. The phone should be fine IF you do have hard spl on it (1.90 Olinex, not some other hard spl. If it's another one, the phone is dead.). Then just flash another rom, or re-download Tael's rom. Weird stuff happens if you flash enough. I've had my phone do something sort of similar before, where I couldn't get into bootloader. You may need to soft reset, then let it boot to the alignment screen, then put it in bootloader. Don't worry, it will be ok, hard spl is your parachute.
Thanks you Ted...3 minutes ago I press low volume and power it..and the tri color appeared again....I'm downloading the last rom,
Thanks again
Great my phone is alive again...with the last TAEL ROM
You are right the HARD SPL is the parachute!
Thread close ?!
Thread closed ... another Fuze saved.
It all started when I upgraded to the new official TMOUS ROM. I then wanted to install OzROM_5.20_24635 instead since it's TMOUS friendly. But to do so, I needed to install a 2.07-2.12 radio and was not able to do so - the process was stuck at 0%. Now as a result, my phone has been intermittently inoperable. I installed a SimTravel sim card into it (it's unlocked) - it recognized it once, then stopped picking it up completely and would reboot within minutes of powering on. Then I purchased a Lycamobile card and all seemed to be going well, but I just had it crash during a phone call with customer service (for some reason my sent SMSes never make it through, but I can receive them fine) and now it won't start. The symptoms are always the same - seven "buzzes" or vibrations, however you want to call them, and the phone is stuck at the first T-Mobile screen. I've tried hard resets and they have worked to a point - now they don't. How can I restore this thing?
Oh, just got it to reboot by waiting about a minute after taking the battery out... It went through the orange Windows 6.5 screen, then rebooted itself and buzzed seven times again...wtf???
You need to flash a previous offical TMOUS ROM (to get away from the 3.14ROM). This will get your SPL back to 2.10 or 2.08 - instead of the present 3.03.
Then you can use HSPL3 to change the SPL to a 2.XX.HSPL. Follow the rest of the instructions from the OzROM thread.

Where can I get that ROM? Which version do I need?
Also, my problem now is that while I can get the phone to boot, it restarts during the setup process - I can't get to the home screen...how can I flash it in this situation?
Lovely new development. When it doesn't buzz, it shows the numbers (in pink, like the radio version (2.15.something, btw)) and hangs there. Ugh.
Try * HERE *
The phone now freezes midway through the update...the same seven buzzes and nothing...

I read some users reported the same issue, and bad news is that most of them have to bring it to htc repair center (is it a bad news? )
