Hi, (again)
I've searched the forums(and wiki), but can't find out a few things.
Is it possible that if a hermes is only showing the windows splash screen that the OS is only part there?
Is there a way of seeing via a PC how far into its boot process it is?
Is there a way of sending just the OS to a bricked device? (preferably through the SD method)
What will the boot loader do with certain files, E.G we know about hermimg.nbh but what about autostart files? can we get the device to start the SSPL-HERM.exe file via the SD card in the bootloader?
I'm determined to get my hermes back from the dead, and if i manage it i will of coarse share the info, but if anyone else has any ideas/thoughts suggestions please let me know.
checking your post history, you have a corrupted CID type 2c brick. Very bad. Corrupted CID prevents SD image load. sspl method won't work b/c it is a Windows Mobile executable & you can't get OS to boot.
What bootloader version did you end up with (shown on tri-color screen)?
Worst kind, 1.09
I know i've got a very very slim chance of recovery, but even if it takes me months, i'm going to try and get it working, gives me a project if nothing else.
ouch
If in-place bl level 0 patch is developed you may find a way to unbrick...
Sounding like an idiot.....Huh?
What patch? Is there a thread link?
Thanks
It hasn't been developed yet Your mission awaits!
Any help would really appreciated, of course donations would be there also for anyone who can help me. Im badly stuck in here. Im reading the forums for the whole, still no luck to solve my problem.
Im stuck, the error is this:
ERROR 244 INVALID ID
I have flashed my rom to "Athena_SPL1.2_WWE_WM6.1_R4.0-MiChY", the update breaks at 98%. Now i have only garbage screen, and cant flash anything. But i can load in the bootloader. I think the previous rom is gone.
in the Bootloadr following:

Ive tried everything, also tried the mtty/mac1 method of cmonex but still got errors there.
Im stuck at "Fail to synchronize with the host (1)"
Anyone can help me, im very glad to here from the experts here. Doantions for any help.
thnak god. ive solved my own problems. use the mtty 1.16 btw.
well glad you solved it
though i'm sure the issue with mtty_0513 could have been solved by placing mtty and the bin file in C: root (as mentioned in my instructions)
Please help me, too! I have x7501 with SPL-v1.10RP00 and HAD HTC current ship ROM.
I was trying to run AthenaUnlocker from Olipro and it didn't work, so I tried the Athenawrapper and it doesn't work, either. Both immediately went to 7%and gave Error [270].
I tried HTC official ROM to see if my device could be flashed at all and it completed successfully.
I tried unlockers a couple more times and tried to upgrade radio to 1.57 or 1.58 and had no success. I accidentally clicked the AthenaUpdater file from AP4 and my device suddenly showed SPL-v3.00 Olipro (I think those were the numbers) and looked like it was going to update. As I watched the folder where AP4 extracted some files very slowly, a pop-up message showed "****sticks" and asked if I had answered "yes" to any messages or made sure my device was synchronized with Activesync. My device suddenly re-booted and was black screen with the green around the joystick lit.
I tried to download the Official HTC rom again and it got to 1% and said Invalid ModelID.
I tried to use cmonex mtty program to change wifi and modelid and it shows "FF" after I typed task 16 0. None of the other unlock, radio or AP4 flash programs will work either, giving connection errors [260] or [300].
The device goes through the hard-reset routine fine, but doesn't boot into anything except the Bootloader. Is there a ROM I can flash that will allow download without checking the ModelID or something I can do with mtty?
Please help!!!

did you have the device synced in windows mobile when running the unlockers (as the instructions clearly state it needs to be)?
if not, that's where the issue started...
but anyway, I'm online on MSN
CMONEX is the best and was very patient with my ignorance of Athena upgrading! CMONEX took some time to help get my Athena x7501 running again and now it's ready to serve me into the future.
PM CMONEX if you have any issues that you can't handle on your own!
reading this thread makes me want to donate to cmonex just because of his good attitude towards noobs. i probably need to wait for a couple of months until my paypal gets reloaded again, lol.
i would have asked for help from cmonex if not for tootallk2000 guiding me all the way through the (panicky) process. he also had been very patient with me.
anyway, i just wanted to thank people like tootallk2000 and cmonex for their support to the rest of us.
ciao!

I flashed with the 6.5 rom but did not upgrade my spl previously. Once the phone restarted the video signal looked scrambled on the screen. I tried a hard reset but the same thing so I went into the bootloader and tried to load my original rom but got the 244 error.
Now I am experiencing the same issue, I tried a few versions of mtty and keep getting the "fail to synchronize with the host" error. I also do not have my original mac address(dopod u1000-not on batter door) but couldnt attempt to use an alternate mac because of this error.
I havent been able to try loading from the micro sd card because i wont have a reader till tomorrow. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

This only helps if your unit only shows IPL and SPL ver only. No ATHE100 on the screen means you got a corrupted model id/wifi ... plz read this post how to create a bin file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2154726&postcount=33

I get the same problems ,It can't be flashed any ROM any more
I have a HTC Advantage X7500 with IPL v2.02 and SPL v1.20 Olipro. I have exactly the same problem. Tried different USB cables. Tried another workstation. Tried at work, even reinstalled another computer with Windows XP Professional with SP2 because I red somewhere that it will only work with that version. Also tried different MTTY versions, but I just cannot get this connected. When updating, it will stop after 1%. The X7500 will reboot and showing a scrambled screen. I cannot figure out what to do anymore. Think I red the instructions for 50 times already. If anyone know why and the solution for it, please let us know!
Because the lack of response, I've decided to send the phone to Dynafix, a company in the Netherlands specialised in repairing phones. Warranty past april this year. What a bummer. Received the repair costs. This software upgrade was not possible and they have to change the complete system board, about 550 Euro's! Guess I really have a bricked device here. If anyone can help me with a system board, let me know.
Hi there i bricked my XDA Trion.
All i get is the Operator Logo.
I try to flash a new rom but no matter how i do it, all i get is a very short "no image file" and then the tri color screen.
I have a Herm100
Any help would be appreciated!
How you trying to flash it? Got Hard SPL installed?
You need to give more info or you won't get much help...
Have you read this thread?
You need HSPL on your device before you can flash a new rom or radio
What does your SPL say in bootloader? You need to provide more info
no image file
I have the same message (error), i have sucesfully instaled hard spl, and it shows in tricolour screen but when I try to boot the instalation it tels me NO IMAGE FILE even though I have renamed the file to kovsimg.nbh and have put it on the memory card. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.... im using the windows 7 x64 and windows mobile device center....does the image file goes to the memory card???? or the phone??? and what could be the reasons for this message??? any info would help so I can move foward....
What the hell is "kovsimg.nbh"?
If you are flashing a Hermes it should be hermimg.nbh... Nothing else will work... If you aren't flashing a Hermes and you now have Hermes hard SPL on your device, you now have a certifiable brick...
I am sure that I am not the only one who has bought an Orange UK phone and wants to use in on another network. I'll get an unlock code to allow my T-Mobile SIM to work. But I want to unbrand the phone too so that I get rid completely of all the Orange branding and Orange software. What are my options?
1) simply flash with alternative branded ROM.
Inevitably this doesn't work and the RUU.exe program quickly indentifies the phone I am trying to flash has the Invalid Operator ID and will not flash it.
2) Goldcard.
I have a Windows 7 Phone Goldcard which I have created using an XTC Clip. I have copied the Europe.nbh ROM over to is and tried rename as OMEGIMG.nbh and RADAIMG.nbh. I've used a HD7 Unlock Kit Y-cable and put the Radar in USB Hostmode, but it has done nothing. (The same cable and SD card worked perfectly for my Mozart.)
3) Ansar's supplemented ROM method.
For other devices Ansar has supplement parts of the nbh file to twick the valid Operator ID check, I think using a "bin to d000ff builder". However, as I understand it, this won't work unless I have an RUU_Radar_Orange.exe file to start with.
Any other ideas?
Have been trying to flash .nbh file in Bootloader mode but stuck on 5% and bricked my phone and motherboard had to be replaced.
Have you considered flasing in USB mode using OTG cable?

Could you send how to make goldcard for wp7?
Sorry to hear you have bricked your phone.
I've got a little further in that I have definitely established that the image for Goldcard needs to be OMEGIMG.NBH (not RADAIMG.IMG). (With Radaimg.nbh the device says image not found.) Once the phone is connected to the HD7 Unlock cable, in USB Host Mode, with OMEGIMG on the Goldcard it says Loading, then drops into "Bootloader" mode, but with neither Serial or USB displayed.
I've not heard of the OTG cable. How does that work?
For Goldcard I made mine using the XTC Clip (Mozart mode). You can do it a longer method using an Android or Windows Mobile 6.x device which includes an SD slot, or a laptop that has a "real" SD card reader (not connected over any USB bus).
OTG cable is a cable which allows you to connect usb stick/sdcard reader via USB
it definitely works with SGS2/Nokia
Oh yes, I've just looked up info on the "On-The-Go" USB cable. It seems that there is a subtle difference from standard USB so that the device (mobile phone) can act as a host. Will the OTG cable allow the Radar to power the SD Card reader? Is there any evidence of it working on any other HTC Phones?
I haven't tried that yet

I'm embarassed to say that trying again with the goldcard I have misled you. On either filename the device says Loading, then Image not Found before dropping into Bootloader mode. I had not watched carefully enough before.
But from this I conclude that the device is seeing the goldcard (as before the y-cable is connected it does nothing), but not finding the correct image.
Any suggestions what other filenames should be tried?
So far I have tried IMG.NBH, OMEGIMG.NBH, RADAIMG.NBH
Is there any other code for the Radar 4G ?
You might want to check on the HD7 forums or the hacking forums for WP7. I have never used the Gold Card method so I am not sure how it works. Is it just an nbh file deployed to the card or is the card specificly formatted and then the nbh extracted to the specially formatted card. As far as I know the xtc clip only supports the HD7 and does not support the Radar (yet?).
Hello everybody,
I've tried with 2 differents RUU and I have the same problem; it stuck at 5% and I have a windows with IU534 error "flash write error happen".
I've also extracted the content of the RUU and launched the Rom update utilty, same way...
My phone's always starting on the white screen (radio-16.23.02.09_2).
Any ideas ??
I think it's a bootloader blocking but I've not enough knoledge to unblock it.
PS : sorry for my bad english, I'm french

As I have warned before - your phone is bricked and as far as there weill be decent developers for Radar you cannot do anything but send phone to be repaired.
The bad is that I am waiting from 14th od November and no results (they have ordered motherboard from the supplier)
Thanks for your answer masi0, I hope you'll receive your phone soon !
Looks like it's an Orange problem (mine is Orange France), I'd like to know if any other members have succeeded in updating their phones !

I don't think it's carrier problem - I think we are upgrading phones in a wrong way
I've tried with many differents RUU and I have the same problem; it stuck at 5% and I have a windows with IU534 error "flash write error happen".
can anybody help? radar sim-free, not brand. It problem with phone - not with brand
....t-mobile unbranding without problem by goldcard....
Wow, after a year of frustration whenever I have tried to unbrand my phone I have finally found the solution. I hope it helps others and of course it is a simple solution.
My mistake was that I made the goldcard and then copied the NBH file over to it (I'm sure that's what I did before with the Mozart and it worked). However, what worked for me was that first I formatted the MicroSD card (Fat32), then copied the NBH file over, renamed as OMEGIMG.NBH, then ran the GoldCard Tool as administrator. Once this was done, I put the phone into USB Host mode and connected the Y-cable. I left it alone for an hour whilst I did something else and returned to find the phone had been updated and debranded with the NBH file required.

i cant seem to find any information on doing hspl on it since everytime i look up that spl, it shows up as radar but i have a titan?
that isnt really my main concern... mine is the fact that i cant even tether with this unlocked/unbranded htc phone..... it complains about AT&T tether plan...
then it complains about some conection error about phone cant connect to the internet when it is on zune and i cant use the zune pass
held volumn up and boot phone
have a red LED blinking but no display
connect to computer, says Qualcomm CDMA Tehcnologies MSM
does that mean anything?

To get into bootloader mode you must hold down both volume down and volume up simultaneously and while you're doing it, hit the power button until you see the white screen, continue to hold down volume up/volume down but let go of the power button.

Your device model number is the HTC Titan x310e. You will note all we folks with the AT&T HTC Titan in the United States have the "x310a". If you're overseas somewhere other than the US and Canada, I believe you're going to debrand your device with the Cingular 1.10 ROM where we are required to use the European 1.09 ROM but I'm going to be honest with you and all; I'm not sure. My interpretation of the original debrand post is to debrand your device with the opposite ROM depending on where you from and I have spent more time on the Titan threads in the last 6 weeks than I have since my Motorola z3 and HTC Rhodium days but I'm a math major and no where near the level of expertise of most here including this very thread. It is unknown if the Windows Phone 8 devices will be capable of being unlocked other than the carrier-subsidy unlock; the HTC Titan II to date can't be HSPL so it begs the question if the latter devices will equally be highly improbable. I think those of us who also own the HD2 hope the future HTC Titan III (Zenith) will be what many have achieved in our HD2s.
The bootloader is waaaaaaayyy too old. That's like the first walking days of the Titan, but your OS versions seems to have caught up. In this case, no debranding is necessary as all X310e model are unbranded, you just straight flash HSPL and do a custom rom, or you might even consider going stock, which football has provided, including the latest and official 8773 firmware with 4.6 bootloader.
There have been a couple of reports that WP8 crashes, tinkering/trying to unlock the bootloader, showing a PC-like error upon startup asking for a "recovery disk". The only way to fix this is via warranty.

I wondered whether if the device hardware began as an "x310e" if the debrand was necessary. Our "x310a" devices have to be debrand and made to mimic the "x310e" to successfully HSPL...but no one outside the US has been able to verify this. Over on another thread an individual asked my about his "x310e" and his OSPL is 1.86.160015.3 and I asked him to double check that for me and again he said the same thing. It's my understanding, he's good to go and simply has to flash both the SPL205 and HSPL and that's it.

wow
you are right
no gold card, no nothing...
just flash it and it is all done now!
it is surprising that I need to do this on a unbranded/unlocked device.... the x310e 's tethering is *still* locked by AT&T.../
does the top left of my device saying "Security Unlocked" mean anything special?

Honestly, I don't know. If you have successfully HSPL your deice and you're using a custom ROM, not a stock ROM, you should be good to go.

I take it you're using that Titan inside US? If so, then you will need to have a tethering plan with ATT (as I understand with most US carriers, they make you pay to tether). Otherwise if you're on a custom ROM, you can follow the guide in the Titan development forum about unlocking the tether option with ATT.
end up having to do the registry hack to get tethering to work...
this is kind of crap seeing as it is an unbranded/unlocked device which is still affected by AT&T's tethering limitation.... for example, the Lumia 800 isn't faced with this issue. Perhaps it may be time to switch to tmobile soon..
