Hi there everyone.
I have just bought a new HTC Cingular 8525 but it is running windows mobile 5. I would like to upgrade but I cannot find any downloads or instructions on how to do so. I do not want to brick up my new phone. Does anybody know a download link to upgrade to the latest windows mobile version that will work on my phone. Its an american bought phone which is unlocked and I am using it in the UK on Three. It used to be locked to at&t and I am pretty sure much of the at&t rubbish is slowing my memory and speed of the unit. If I were to upgrade will the phone still be unlocked?
Rom version is 2.15.502.3
Rom date is 04/09/07
Radio version is 1.40.30.00
Protocol version is 32.73.7020.16H
Operating system is (build 15706.3.5.2)
I am all new to this and would appreciate any advice idiot proof I have flashed many PSPs and other things but nothing like this.
As I have just got the phone I am still trying to work out how to use it so I have no idea how to do a Hard or Soft reset and have no idea about the roms
Sorry to waste your time
Please help
Rob
You should read through the Hermes wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Make sure you install hardspl! If you install the "official" AT&T WM6 install hardspl again, your phone will stay unlocked, even with custom roms. If you flash one of the big storage roms, then go to try another, flash the "official" rom before flashing another custom rom.
Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I would also suggest making sure your phone is "super cid" before flashing custom roms, you'll also be able to flash from an sd card if you are super cid.
Read a bunch before flashing any radio roms!!!
Read, read, and re-read before you flash, and you should be fine. They have made the process fairly straight forward, but you can never be too sure. I have never "bricked" my phone, and I jumped in with both feet!
Mustn't flash a lot then because if you did you will end up with a brick sometime... I've always been able to recover my Hermes but there is STILL the possibility it won't.... one day...

I guess I have been lucky, but I'm sure I haven't flashed as much as others on here. But, I tried to follow the wiki, and tried to learn from others mistakes before I made some of my own. So, I figure if I can flash my Hermes, others should be able to do the same. And I have read up on the issues for when you "brick it", just in case.
I flashed several roms from the beginning (when I got my hermes), and learned a bunch. Then found what I needed/wanted in a rom, and spent days and days and days reading through many threads to find ones that fit me. I actually tried not to flash too much, but that can be a hard temptation to overcome.
So, just trying to pass on what has worked for me, to avoid the hard resets and such.
I would like to attempt cooking my own rom, and have read through tons of info on it, and played with some kitchens. Still working on learning that stuff, it'll give you a good appreciation of what the chefs around here do.
Whenever i get to the update part of the software my htc turns itself off and disconnects?
I then get the error 260?

I haven't ran into that one, but I went to the top of the page, clicked search, and typed in "error 260" (without the quotes). And got this http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...r+260&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
hopefully one of those will help you....google is your friend
I found out that its because I'm running vista. I tried to view Mr. Vanx's guide but its no longer there at this link..
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
So I am a bit stuck as I tried to do the following on here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
With no avail. It wont even let me install the HARD-SPL as it just gets stuck in bootloader mode with the error 260.
I have no idea what to do now. This process needs to be simplified more
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC

I don't have anything running vista.
I still got the same error

It tells you how to Hard SPL your Hermes with the sd card method. It also gives you ALL the apps needed.
After you Hard SPL your phone you can use the sd card method to flash a new OS. Flashing a new OS though requires you to drop steps 5 & 6 (you don't need sspl.exe once you have Hard SPL). Just remember though that the bootloader won't recognize any sd card bigger than 2gb...
Cheers...
Thanks for that. Its just now I have a problem where my phone is stuck on the Tri-Colour screen
Did you format the sd card fat32 (they are default format FAT) and rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh"?
Is the sd card 2Gb or less?
You're on bootloader, is your SPL 1.09 des? If yes then insert the sd card and reset.
Cheers...
it might be an issue with activesync
i read somewhere before that activesync 6.1 won't sync with WM6 on vista machines.
I had to downgrade mine to ActiveSync 6.0 to get mine working again.
just an idea that might work
When i went to flash the latest update for the Energy ROM it didn't flash properly to my HD2 and now im getting the red,green,blue and white screen and it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-142.HSPL XE

CotullaHSPL 0X30
Upgrade ROM code error
please try again
Ive tried reflashing but even though i have it plugged into the USB it wont recognise it, i took out the SD card and SIM card and done a hard resent but then i got some triangular type sign on the phone so took the battery out and put back in, held the button down button and im now back to the screen as like what ive posted about, this has never happened before as any ROM ive flashed has been succesful, ive done a search of the forum and cant come up with anything, can someone be of some assistance here please,cheers.

Hello!
Try this:
Full charge your phone's battery.
Download your stock ROM and install it by MicroSD method - it will erease your HSPL, so you will need to install it again.
Install the HSPL again.
Do a TASK29.
Now redownload your custom ROM and reflash it!

unfortunately when i go to download the stock ROM i downloaded from the HTC website it stays at 0% and then gives me an error message,tried numerous times but no luck, i was able to download HSPL3 though but that hasn't actually made any difference with regard to actually solving my problem,i done another search and tried numerous things but no luck, just have the multicoloured screen as before, have spent hours now, surely there has to be an easier solution to this as no doubt this has happened to a few people before!

flashed htc stock by sd card? if yes, then its because the stock HTC rom isnt your phones stock, and teh first thing it does when flashing from sd is remove hspl, even though the rom itself fails to flash (because hspl is no longer there)
Boot into bootloader, see what spl says.
If it ends .0000 then use hspl2 to re apply hspl,
re-enter bootloader, connect usb, does 'serial' change to 'USB'?
If yes, try running your rom flash again, but do it over usb. (Can use the htc stock rom for this, for simplicity)

Yeah the spl says spl-2.08.0000 8G XE
when i go to hspl2 to re apply hspl it gives me an error message saying i need to have SPL 142 on my device, this is doing my bleedin head in and ill never mess about with the dog and bone again if i manage to get this sorted after all this it costs too much and im without a phone now until this is sorted, cheers for your assistance mate

Mate, try HSPL3. It will work with your SPL (2.08.0000).
It smells like you have a bad flash, maybe your ROM image corrupt in download or in the transfer process.. It does not change the things, to fix it you have to "erease your NAND".
I told you to flash a stock Rom from SD to see if the error stops. If it stops, then you will have to install HSPL again, because it is ereased each time you flash a stock ROM from SDCard.
Then, the TASK29 process is the more important thing, because it will "erease" your NAND and will prepare the NAND blocks for the new flash.
And the CustomROM flash complete the process.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: Fell free only to install HSPL3 (2nd post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and do a TASK29 (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) before installing again your CustomROM. Those 3 steps are the important ones!
**DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOMROM AGAIN, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A DOWNLOAD CORRUPTION PROBLEM, OK?

right there has been some developments, HSPL3 has done something an the phoe is now turning on and off, so ill try and download the stock ROM now
if spl says 2.08.0000 then you have chosen teh wrong option in hspl3, you should have chosen 2.08.hspl.
.0000 is stock.
You do not need spl 1.42. to apply hspl, that is old info, hspl2 or hspl3 should work fine.

Man, if your phone is turning on and off it could be the uncharged battery.
Try charging your battery for about 1 hour before trying to reflash - do it with the phone turned off.
Again: Use HSPL2 or 3. Select 2.08.HSPL from the menu. And then TASK29..............
Thanks again guys its getting late so ill just leave the phone charging and get back to it after work tomorrow evening, again thanks for your assistance, still not there yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening the problem will be rectified.

Sorted!!
At last i have managed to solve the problem, basically i just extracted a stock ROM onto my micro SD card which was in my laptop,put SD card back in phone,went to bootloader, done the task 29, tried to flash Energy ROM 21911 Aug 1st update but having tried several times it was giving me an error message so last throw of the dice as it were i flashed the other Energy build 23569 and it worked, you;ve no idea how relieved i am i kept thining id have to leave the phone into repair which would cost an arm and a leg but thanks to the good people on here in particular digao100nocao and samsamuel and the search function was useful too i have solved the problem and ill ensure i always do a hard reset any time im flashing again as i believe that was what probably caused the ROM not to flash properly the first time (i never bothered doing a hard reset previously)
Virtual beers to everyone much obliged folks and if i can be of asisstance to anyone myself on here i will.

Good news my friend!
I'm happy that your problem is solved now.
Have a nice week
I really have my doubts about how safe HSPL really is for your HD2.
Sunday my HD2 died. Ive been using HSPL for 2 months now and tried 3 different radios and 3 custom Roms. I always perform task 29 and never interrupted any update. All updates went smooth without problems.
But suddenly my phone stucks in the bootloader. I tried everything to get him back alive without success.
I talked to 2 friends about my problem and you know what? They both had the same problems. They were heavy flashers but they encounter also problems with the bootloader.
So my question is, are they more people with this problem? Im asking because when I buy my second HD2, I want to install custom Roms but Im a little bit afraid to install HSPL. It seems that it makes your HD2 corrupt after a while, just my experience (and 2 friends).
What do you mean wit "after a while"?
I mean with this I have my HTC HD2 device from 01/01/2010 and I have directly flash HSPL 1.66 now almost then mounts later I don't see/have problems with BootLouder and in the meanwhile I have install more than 70 cooked Rom version!
Each cooked Rom I install I reinstall stock Rom before I install cooked Rom so you can say I have seen/used the Bootlouder now fore about +/_140 Times
So personally I don't see a problem.
But of course I don't know how much you have changed your rom?
I changed my Rom 3 times. You have no problems with 1.66. But I flashed HSPL 2.08. Is the different version maybe related to my problems? My friends also used 2.08.

Click to collapse
most rom builders recommended HSPL 1.66!
I used Miri Roms and did not see any recommendations
So now I am wondering if the HSPL version can cause a corrupt bootloader...Anyone with the same problems? I really loved my phone and custom Roms but now I am a little bit scary to install HSPL on my new device (when I get one ofcourse)...
im using HSPL3 too...but didnt flash a new rom since then.
i would die if my HD2 would break..... >.<!
In theory any version of HSPL could cause corruption......
I dont know whether one is more likely to cause problems than another.
Lots of people use them without any problems at all and as with anything you do to your phone you do it at the risk of something going wrong....
So to answer your question I wouldnt describe any version of HSPL as "safe".....
The "safest" thing to do would be to stick with the stock ROM and use only official updates, that way even if you have a problem flashing you always have your warranty to fall back on...........

Well I thought I shoul die, but I am still alive. But I really miss my HD2, you cannot imagine. I cannot mail or check internet, its back to 2009 for me
Thanks for your input all of you. I am really surprised how things can go wrong are get corrupted. We all use the same files (HSPL) and the BIOS of the phone is also very standard I assume...Maybe a bad batch when I bought the phone? (Feb 2010).
what i do, is to flash only hspl when i flash my rom..
i'm not very flash addicted, so i got my rom there for months
or why dont you use sspl?

Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/
You bricked your device? wow!
May be you are just stick on the boot screen where it says SPL 3.03, because you tryed to flash a ROM from the SD card that is not for your operator?
Well, if this is the case just flash an older official ROM for your operator, again from the SD card. Than you can use the actual HSPL and flash a custom ROM. That fixed it for me.

of course i already tried that, does not work.
You are not clear.
Can you get your device to boot loader?
If yes, then you can try Gold card method from there.
yes that still works, but i tried goldcard method today (1 time with the rom which bricked my device und with a custom rom and the original orange rom [my hd2 has a orange branding]) and it was not the solution for my problem :/
edit: oh and if it´s of interest: when trying to flash with goldcard method the rom which bricked it, i get the white screen with "Loading..." in the middle and then it says "Not allow" also on a white screen and "0028002" written in red, then gets back to bootscreen.
well since u can get to ur bootloader consider urself lucky it aint bricked..
Do one thing, get the newest stock rom from htc (same spl 3.03) and make sure its the right one for your device(when you enter your serial no. it should accept and give u a download link).
then try flashing that rom..
It should get you up and running.
After that you can start worrying about getting back to the old spl and/or hardspl
New HSPL
I am stuck with the same thing.
If i could only geat a new HSPL for spl 3.03.0000

Try flashing an older stock Rom one that is covered by hspl via SD card method. Then whenever you like to install that latest 3. 14 Rom do it via usb method.

my HD2 has a orange branding and is from france. i downloaded a rom from a link somewhere in xda threads, but it´s a really old rom version. the idiots of orange support posted me a link to the touch hd rom^^, so i even don´t know if there is a rom out there.
dunno if it would help posting my serial here...

You might want to look into the download.. if it's an MFG SPL you're stuck with it
Can you provide the link please?
So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Great post
But I hate to say, unless we can get some powerful brainstorming goin on and figure out how to drop an engineering SPL (MFG) with mtty I don't think we can help..
I started a thread a little while back -- Stuck with SPL 2.02.0000 - Test ROM? that you might wanna read through to understand your situation a little better.
And just fyi, you can play/flash between 2.02 and 2.03 without problems, just DON'T try flashing 2.01 from those two.. left me with a lovely little brick.
(this is only if you flashed the 2.03 from this thread)

IT WORKS! I am also with Orange France and had no issue in reverting back by flashing the latest Orange FR original rom from the SD card.
You can get it here:

Then open with winrar or other archiver and extract the ruu_signed.nbh. Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and flash it from the SD card.

So from what I understand, OlDirty89 failed to read the fine print and is now in possession of an un-usable phone.
I remember when XDA was actually a community where users like this could actually get help when faced with a situation like this...
EX> I was a noob once. My first PPC was a WM5 HTC Wizard/aka/T-Mobile MDA. I actually stumbled across this forum by accident looking for cool new apps for my phone since lets face it.. WM5 is very bland. I saw what I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen - a complete OS replacement loaded with new features I'd never seen on a phone before and sure enough, without reading, I downloaded and attempted to flash the ROM. Naturally, it failed and I panicked. I had paid just over $300 for the phone after all.. I came back to this site, opened a new thread titled "PLEASE HELP ME!!" and within an hour, the more seasoned users on this site helped me restore my phone to the factory state and guided me in the right direction, teaching me everything I could have ever wanted to know about WM and how to customize it. I did eventually get that cool custom ROM on my Wizard and became an established member of the community.
^^^^ This is why I absolutely CANNOT STAND flamers... Flaming a user for being less knowledgeable than you is just plain pathetic... Shows what you're like on the other end of the keyboard too... You know it was really funny because I stumbled across a statistic once that stated that 60% of users who join these forums and flame other users are overweight virgins living with their parents... Just thought that was a funny statistic worth mentioning...
Now with all of that being said.. Let's help this guy. He clearly needs it else he wouldn't have posted this thread asking for it. I'm not saying that someone should write a step-by-step tutorial right here in this thread telling him exactly how to undo what he's done, just guide him in the right direction...
This speech really reminds me of a movie I saw not too long ago...
"Pay it forward..."
Just my 2 cents...

Use SSPL and it will install your Custom or Stock ROM without any problem.

Downloading ...
looks like I am also stuck on bootloader with SPl 3.03,nothing I did helped so far,I had HSPL3,my stock Rom was 166.707.
any help is greatly appreciated.
OlDirty89 said:
Hello,
i just want to ask if maybe one of the admins could contact the developers of HSPL, because there are many who bricked their devices because of SPL 3.03. Or maybe one of the developers themselves will read this. HSPL is the last way out in most cases (or finding somebody with a ORT JTAG Tool).
I know that you better should not update a device without collecting information before it. Indeed!
My last phone was a iPhone, so I know what I´m talking ´bout, but sometimes it just happens that you might have skipped any important information or hint.
So please help :/

I experienced same things after return my phone for screen problem. Orange france gave me a new one and then my problem began. I made all the needed steps to flash a new radio and Artemis ROM and my phone became crazy. Radio failed at 99%, random soft reset etc... By chance there is a new version (1.72) on the website of orange. With HSPL2 i managed to downgrade the SPL to 1.66 version and flash with the last official orange ROM.
Frequently, my phone continue to soft reset itself and became crazy. Can't use it on a whole day, without soft reset 10 times. I decided to return it to Orange (SPL, ROM and Radio where the good ones). Received a new one, immediatly flash my phone with artemis V36 and radio 2.10.50_28 and all is ok with this last phone.
Probably problems come from the phone and not the way you try to revert back...

Hi, I've got the same problem with my Orange HD2.
I can not find any original older ROM to flash with HSPL.
No any chance to install any different rom than my "French language" ROM which is my exact problem I wanna WWE.
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.0 7U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
----------------------------------
Is this a final answer? I need to know if it's bricked and nothing else can be done.
Anyone thinks a shop may be able to recover it back? It won't go on at all..

Sometimes, it´s easier than you think.
You´ve got 2 options to get rid of HSPL. One of those options would be simply described in the original thread of HSPL.exe software. If you would have checked this program a little bit, you would have noticed the very fact that you can select what SPL or HSPL you want to install.
Second, you can flash your stock ROM via SD card method, this will replace HSLP and everything else - this does not work using RUU.exe via USB.

By the looks of the radio installed (2.04.50_22_2), I would say that you did brick your T-mobile phone. Take a look at the following thread for a possible solution to unbrick your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
Hi thanks for the response Lavell. Would MTTY be able to do anything?
The phone doesn't turn on at all, or it seems.
I've never bricked one before so Idk if this is the way it happens.
its gone. dead. it will need JTAGging or a new mainboard.
that thread wont help, the phone wont power on, and that thread requires you can get into bootloader.
that's a really early rom you used, the tmous didnt even exist when that rom shipped.
If you want to get rid of it let me know please!!!
Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread but I got the same problem here.
Had WP7 but could not use 2g so I went back to MAGLDR113 and installed the file below:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
It went all the way to 100% but now the phone is dead. Computer makes a sound when I plug in usb but I have tried changing batteries and all but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know in Dallas or areas around how to do that JTAG thing?
There is no proper documentation on how to go back to stock 6.5 Windows or at least I could not find one

At its most basic, its the same for ALL hd2's, ,
1 get the correct stock rom for your region&vendor
2 flash it
thats it.
Sadly lots of times this is shortened to
1 get stock rom
2 flash it
and people just assume they can use any stock rom, and since they usually already have HSPL installed, it allows the flash to start, and tmous phones die.
Yeh think the HSPL installer should of had a TMOUS version either blocking known bricking radio & ROMs or just an on screen message warrning & advising on checking before comencing with flash.
At end of the day it is the users fault for not researching or using a TMOUS rom to be 100% safer !
