Sorry dude, not a good thing to hear but your device has a corrupt CID, not alot we can do about that
Might wanna try looking for a cheap replacment hermes on ebay or something?
mrvanx
I want to know what exactly does a corrupt CID mean?
as you know i have the same problem. Is CID a chip or something?
and about the motherboard replacement issue
I wrote several emails to imate support and told them my problem (SPL 2.03 IPL 1.04 NO GSM stuck at subsplash screen KITL disabled) and told them that everyone tells me that i have to replace my motherboard. they replied me that you DON'T need to replace your motherboard. your device just need to install wm5 in our service center in dubai. unfortunately it is too dificult for me to send my device to dubai.
well, after all failed, i've handed to tMob to fix...
lets see how much they ask for a charge to fix it....
since it was their "official rom" that f**kd it up anyway, i feel like they should give me a new fone.. wishful thinking...
OK, so T-mobile must be reading this thread or something because they just gave me a new Vario II. I believe that they could not re-instate my phone because it had been corrupted so badly.
I am happy with the new phone, seeing as mine was quite scratched up, however, i cannot fathom the fact that tMo put out a corrupt ROM for all their customers.
let this be a lesson to everyone....
dnt f**k with the original ROM!
CASE CLOSED!
congrats on the new phone. score one for the little guy.

Sorry but it was a messed up flash which corrupted the CID on the device, nothing to do with a corrupted ROM image. Suggest a more creful approach to flashing, no running processes....not USB hubs nothing which could mess with the flash at all.

on the contrary, i upgraded to wm6 fine, all was good for about 2 days, then one evening went to put in my code to unlock device and it just wouldn't do it, so i decided to reflash after many attempts.
so i did have wm6 running for about 2 days. then it got corrupt. update was succeful.. however the o/s was not stable.
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.
Edit: Update: OS is working fine but unable to flash radio. Getting stuck at 0% when attempting via USB. SD card method not working - no error messages at all, in bootloader mode. However, SD card is detected fine in the OS and works properly.
Hey all.
It all started off when I tried flashing an OS ROM on my i-mate JASJAM, but it wouldn't work. Kept getting the infamous Error 260. I'm on Vista 32, so I downgraded the drivers as mentioned in the wiki/forums but it still wouldn't work. So I tried flashing it in VMware with XP SP3 but still kept getting the error. Changed the cables and ports too. Tried with about 3 different ROMS (AT&T stripped, official i-mate, other ROMs on forum). Finally, I used a newer RUU as included in the latest HardSPL and it started to flash - but failed after 1% !
I tried re-flashing an OS ROM but I'm just not able to connect due to Error 260. So I resorted to the SD card method, but the process doesn't even start. It's a brand new 1Gig card, tried formating both as FAT16 and 32 and followed all instructions, but it's like the card isn't even being detected.
So, any ideas guys? I would really appreciate if you could help me, as this is my only phone. ( I was mugged a few days ago - had to surrender my old phone )
Current stats are:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
PS: The first thing I did was flash to SPL-2.10.Olipro and after many tries, it finally worked. I was even able to boot the OS and everything worked fine.
The error 260 came up on a thread a few weeks ago here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520226 the person with the problem in the end managed to fix it and flashed a new rom, it might be a good idea to read over this thread and see if you can find any other ideas to help you.
Good luck
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure though how he managed to fix the problem - it looks like he managed to flash the HardSPL and was able to upgrade the OS ROM after it. I'm already at that stage, only thing is, I still get the Error 260 and the SD card method not working.
Um, for some reason I simply tried the AT&T RUU via USB and it started flashing! The RUU wasn't able to query my OS version, and I chose the force Safe SSPL option. It's now flashing!
Still no idea why the SD card didn't work
Edit: Flashing successful! OS is loading now! Thanks a lot Scotty93
Now to try updating the radio.. *fingers crossed*
im glad to see that youve managed to get it to work, if you can get the sd card method to work it is best as it can stop your hermes from bricking which is a problem if a radio flash goes wrong.
Good luck
Well, it happened. Bricked again. I *had* to flash the radio because I was getting a "No GSM" message on the screen. (Was getting it earlier too)
Tried updating via USB (SD card method not working again).
The progress screen showed up on the phone, but it was stuck at 0%. After 5 mins I got an Error 262 message from the RUU. It had a built-in recovery feature, but it didn't work (gets stuck again at 0% and same thing repeats).
Tried these radios so far:
1.56.70.11
1.48.00.10
1.46.00.11
So, any ideas guys?
Update: Tried flashing the i-mate SHIP rom. Process starts, but gets stuck at 13%. Error 262 in the RUU.
I've just checked this thread and my situation is quite similar to that. I however, haven't attempted to downgrade my SPL yet, to access the rtask command. Is that necessary?
I'm able to use the info 7 command in mtty (VMware), but it throws up nothing new.
At the moment I've switched back to the AT&T OS and it's booting fine, but still no gsm.
Is it worth trying any other ship/radio ROMs? Or can I do something via mtty?
What size sd card you using, It has to be 2Gb or less. Also must be formatted FAT32.
If the radio rom has been corrupted, and it looks like it might be, there is no real way to fix. Some people get lucky by reflashing their SHIPPED STOCK ROM or their SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Most other fixes I've heard of don't work, or if they do, not for long....
Good Luck...
Cheers...
It's a brand new 1GB card, formatted as FAT32, 512kb block size. The WM OS is reading it properly.
I'll try and flash a shipped radio one of these days. Thanks for your input.
Disregard...
Hello everyone,
i've been reading this forum for one month,
It was the day I decided to upgrade my HTC HD2, and someone disconnected the usb cable during the process.
Don't talk to me about that ;-)
The problem is I can't flash any rom radio into the phone.
OS ROMS work.
I read carefully a lot of posts here, I can say I have exactly the same problems as _Juster_ from this post :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084
My phone is a french HTC HD2, Orange branded.
I successfully installed HSPL 2.08
Making upgrades using USB is very difficult, it is very unstable (communication errors, no response from the phone....) .
I tried on windows 7 pro and win xp sp3 and it is the same.
I then created a goldcard, that I'm using to flash directly in the phone. It is stable, but when flashing a radio rom I always get the "ERROR 00018003, RSA FAIL error".
I learned from xda that the issue can be solved by flashing the original stock radio rom from Orange.
I downloaded a lot of shipped roms from Orange, or HTC.
Always RSA_FAIL.
I'm maybe doing something wrong, or this is a hardware problem....
a few questions for you folks :
1/ It seems that the original Orange stock rom is a 1.43
Must I have the 1.42 HSPL to flash it ?
Is the version of your HSPL important, when you want to flash a rom ? can I flash whatever rom with any HSPL ?
2/ using a Glodcard with HSPL already installed.
when you enter on the bootloader (vol down + power) you arrive on the HSPL tri color screen, displaying HSPL 2.08....
Are you sure the Goldcard is being used ?
How to be sure of that ?
I think (I may be wrong) when you enter the bootloader mode You are on HSPL mode.
What I do to enter the goldcard mode :
I just press power,
I have a "Software update failed message"
Then I arrive to the "Loading..." message
With the name of the ROM i'm trying to flash
LEOIMG.nbh
RADIO V2
Press power to start update
Am I right ?
Thanks for reading this and helping me.
is there other Tasks like task 29 you are aware of ?
Task 29 formats the phone ?
is there a way to partition the phone or to diagnose if there's a problem ?
what do we know about that RSA_FAIL ?
I assume the RSA proccessing is to check whether the RSA Key of the radio rom matches the phone's one ?
Is there a software way to bypass that RSA check ?
I've downloaded 22 radio roms (from orange and HTC) + several others (shipped & cooked)
I always get a RSA FAIL message when I try to flash.
any clue ? something ?
Can't really make out if you tried it from your post, but you could try to flash back to stock by using the SD flash method. Just put the leoimg.nbh in the root of the SD and boot while holding the vol down button. That way you go back to stock spl, rom and radio.
Check the sticky in the ROM development section which refers to the whole HSPL and how to flash everything topic. That should fill you in on HSPL.

I already flashed 22 radio roms and a dozen of full roms (os + radio) using SD CARD.
As the usb is very unstable I'm using the sd card method to flash, which is also a goldcard.
the problem is I ALWAYS get the RSA FAIL message (error 00018003) at the end of the radio flashing process.
This guy : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618084
had the same problem but with un unbranded phone and had it solved by flashing a cooked rom he randomly choosed.
To understand the situation,
my phone is an Orange branded one, what is the difference between a branded and an unbranded phone, assuming they both have the same HSPL ?
thx
Just sold my HD2.
Seems like some questions don't have answers....
what was the problem? íf i understand you right, it even worked..but you couldnt flash another radio...
why dont you use it further?
DN41
The phone wasn't able to boot
It was stuck at the white HTC logo,
After the failure of a radio flash, I was not able to flash it again. (RSA FAIL)
I read all the posts about this problem in xda, tried everything, nothing worked.
sorry...
so who bought it? how much did you get?
someone who needed a new lcd or so?
DN41
150€ , it was in a very good condition

You don't just rename the whole update,you extract the ruu_signed.nbh file and rename that.

I had the same problem with my polaris (htc touch cruise - pola160). I managed to get rid of the problem by downgrading the radio rom.
I couldn't find my old one, but I was able to find the highest version older than my old one in the forum. So I first downgraded the radio using the sd card, after that the rom I was trying to install in the first place worked.
Thx to pcarvalho for this "fix" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3645124&postcount=1 - the "Important Note:" section (always read the small print ).
Hope this helpes.
PS: Sorry if this is too late for some...
having this exact same problem, radio rsa fail, can't even flash a stock rom.
did anyone solve this?

Put the back of the phone in front of an AC in cold for 5 minutes, and keeping it always in front of the AC try to install.
If you are able to do that, send it back to the warranty.
Hello,
I have the same problem!
long time ago I had HTC devices, but few days ago I bought HD2 and it was installed android. Is unable to start or when they try to load a ROM eror occurs.
phone has only a white scrin.
error occurs mostly when upgrade Radio ver. I somehow managed NRGZ image but again not boot system.
Task 29 also comes to 19% and stops with the error.
I have a feeling that the real problem is the radio version. (00,018,003 Radio Fail)
I do not know what is the original ROM.
IMEI: 3526 6604 8712 295
SPL 2.08.HSPL
any help came good
Hello,
at first I like to say, that I've read lots of threads concerning freezes, false flashed roms, etc. but I don't found a thread which deals with my problem. In fact of this I opended a new thread.
What is the problem?
- The HD2 hangs up with a white screen while booting.
What things are still working?
- I'm able to go into bootloader mode (Vol-Down + Power)
- I'm able to get a USB Connection through the bootloader mode
The self analyzed main problem
- I've got a broken Radio Rom
- I've got SPL 1.42 (no HSPL)
What I've tried
- I tried to flash a Rom due to CustomRUU (Cooked & Ship Rom)
-- Effect: No success. Hang's up at 0% (I think due to SPL)
- I tried to flash a ROM by SD-Card over bottloader.
-- Effect: It load's the setup. Trys to install, but fails with the Radio part. (Radio Update failed)
- I'm able to get in MTTY an do a "Task 29". And try to flash again.
-- Effect: Task 29 works well. But flashing still fails at RadioROM Update.
- I've tried to get a connection to the WMDC and try to flash over UpdateUtility
-- Effect: The WMDC doesn't recognize my HD2. (Even if the bootloader menu shows up a USB connection.)
- I tried to get HSPL (1.42, 1.66, 2.08). I tried all versions. HSPL, HSPL2 & HSPL 3.
-- Effect: HSPL finds my HTC. I can select the version. But while flashing HSPL it stop with an critical error. (Flow: 00000006 Errorcode: 00000014)
So is there anybody how knows a way to restore my RadioROM? I tried lots of things but now I really don't know what to do.
I hope you can understand me (incause of my english skills) and that you'll have some more ideas.
With best regards,

Lets wait for the pro's advice!
But if u can access bootloader, not all is lost.. and HD2 is not bricked
I had nearly the same Problem. The only difference was that i could install HSPL.
Something you can try: disconnect the battery for some hours and then flash from SD-Card. After some tries i got mine back to work

that's correct, it doesn't need to connect to wmdc, when they say to get an activesync connection, they only mean a usb connection. if you start the update whilst it IS connected to wmdc, the first thing it does is disconnect and then put the phone into bootloader. you are helping things along by entering bootloader yourself. a little confusing.
that being said, i suspect it won't work. i've seen a few threads where the radio prevents anything flashing, and they never seem to conclude to anyone's satisfaction.
i would probably go for the goldcard method, but you might need a working winmo phone to get the sd cid. an eveningsreading ahead of ya.

I really don't know, but I think I've got a goldcard. So I've 2 micro-SDs. With the first I'm unable to flash anything. The second I made goldcard some flashs ago. I really thought Goldcard would be only work for one flash. But with the second sd-card, which I made goldcard once ago, I'm able to initiate a flash. (But it stops at the Radio-Update.)
Question 1:
How to proof if it's a Goldcard.
Question 2:
I've heard about "JTAG". A saw that it's a piece of hardware. Are there any reports, at this moment, about successful repairs of HD2s with JTAG?
1 no idea, but i do know it stays gold until you format it.
2 there are a few threads about it, look in the tmous section, there are one or two in there too.
i thought it might not help.
have a browse through previous posts by xmoo, he has helped some situations regarding a stuck radio, though no promises.

Hello,
at first I like to say, that I've read lots of threads concerning freezes, false flashed roms, etc. but I don't found a thread which deals with my problem. In fact of this I opended a new thread.
What is the problem?
- The HD2 hangs up with a white screen while booting.
What things are still working?
- I'm able to go into bootloader mode (Vol-Down + Power)
- I'm able to get a USB Connection through the bootloader mode
The self analyzed main problem
- I've got a broken Radio Rom
- I've got SPL 1.42 (no HSPL)
What I've tried
- I tried to flash a Rom due to CustomRUU (Cooked & Ship Rom)
-- Effect: No success. Hang's up at 0% (I think due to SPL)
- I tried to flash a ROM by SD-Card over bottloader.
-- Effect: It load's the setup. Trys to install, but fails with the Radio part. (Radio Update failed)
- I'm able to get in MTTY an do a "Task 29". And try to flash again.
-- Effect: Task 29 works well. But flashing still fails at RadioROM Update.
- I've tried to get a connection to the WMDC and try to flash over UpdateUtility

I've formatted the card, but then there the question why I'm able to start a flash with these ex-gold-card and why I'm unable to flash with the other card. Both are 2GB and both are fresh formatted.

Nice tip, but to my detriment i don't know which version exactly was the shipped one. I received one of the first HD2 in germany from tmob. I think it was something 'bout 1.43.But I really don't know. And you're sure that the original ROM will refresh the broken Radio?
is one sd card bigger than 4gb? 8 and especially 16gb cards are not much use for flashing.

Like already said, both are 2GB SD-cards.
I think the problem arised because you tried to flash a custom ROM without HSPLing (or Gold Carding or SSPLing) first.
You don't need the origional shipped ROM, all you need is to go to HTC Germany's site and download a T-Mobile ROM. You can either put your phone into Bootloader Mode, connect to your computer and run the ROM exe file or use the SD Card method.
It should flash properly and you should have the T-Mobile Germany ROM, RADIO and SPL.
In future if you want to flash a ROM, then read the chef's instructions. If you are sure you want to flash that ROM, then read the instructions again.

This is a solution for sure, I had the same problem.
Search in tmobile site or ask them for their first german rom.
Ok, I downloaded a Original Tmo-Germany ROM from HTC. But same errors. Over Update-Utility >> Error 262 at 0% after some minutes. Over SD-card: Update starts. Progressbar runs. And then >> Radio_ failed.

You must try the old-first tmo german rom that they loaded in the phone.Not just a tmo german rom!
When I had the same problem and I flashed a current rom, the problem remained until I flashed the first old rom.
Ok, I got the first and original rom. But it also fails at the Radio Update. But i found a friend of my friend who's got a HD2, too. So i'll try it with the goldcard method...
