I'm new to the whole Hermes upgrading scene - but have read just about every forum thread and post on upgrading. I'm trying to follow this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312943&highlight=vista
I chose to upgrade via SD card, since my windows box is a vista machine and I primarily use my mac day to day. Here's the problem I'm having - when I try to flash HardSPL V7 via the SD card (using the filename hermimg.nbh in the root of the SD card), it starts to say "loading" in bootloader mode, but then flashes up "00068002" in red at the top of the screen, and then continues into normal 3 color bootloader mode.
When I try to do the flash from vista with RUU (after following the guides showing how to downgrade to the XP drivers), I get a 262 error, and when I look in RUU.log, I see the following:
00:24:27:674 [msg] : Version : [5.10 - 20060412].

Notice the line "00:24:51:310 [err] : Receive Data Error : 0x713, 0x00068002." - that 00068002 is the same number that pops up when trying to flash from the SD card.
Same exact thing happens when I try to flash anything else (like a radio rom, or an OS rom).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
PS: my TyTN shows as a HERM200, IPL 1.00, SPL 1.04
Did you format your SD Card in Fat32?
The most common problem when flashing from card is a wrong formated card.
yes, i formatted it Fat32 and also did a chkdsk on it.
Did someone get the solution for this?
Why you people do not search before making posts?????!!!!!!
Here is what u asking for :
1. Format your SD card with FAT32.
2. Download Hermes SIM CID Unlock v3a.
3. Copy SSPL-HERM to your SD card.
4. Extract the RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.
5. copy HermesUnlocker_HardSPL.nbh to SD card.
6. Rename it to HERMIMG.nbh.
7. put the SD card into the device and run sspl.exe.
8. the device enters the bootloader and ...
I have problem flashing using Sandisk 1GB, formatted FAT32, .nbh in place, after tri color bootloader nothing happen, no 'Loading'. Anybody experience this problem?
When I use micro SD 256 MB (from Nokia), no problem at all, flashing process Completed.
Is SD capacity (too big) become an issue or is this bad SD card..?
some sd cards cant be used to flash roms, i dont know why, maybe someone else can explain why
argupas, did you rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh? It MUST be renamed to this for sd method to work. cheers.....

I already rename .nbh to HERMIMG.nbh.
I think it was SD card problem (1 GB Sandisk, I suspect a fake one), because I am now using 512 MB V-gen, no problem for flashing.
Thx.

I dont understand 7th step. Now my device hang in "Windows Mobile" screen, so how can I run sspl.exe. And also if enter the bootloader, I can press Power+OK+soft reset. Is this right for enter bootloader or i must run sspl.exe?
you have to run SSPL.exe from the file explorer. It has to be run from the PHONE memory, NOT the sd card.
Try a hard reset, both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it asks if you wish to reset to factory (or something like that, you get the idea). Push "r" on slideout keyboard then "space"key. you now have to go through the alignment and everything again.
Even if you use this method, make sure you install Hard SPL V7. It is safer than anything else. You should also have checked what radio rom you were using as it has now been downgraded to 1.116.x.x, this may cause you some trouble later too.
Use the sd card method to fix this as it appears safer than using the pc. Just make sure you have got Hard SPL installed and have a charged battery. DON'T just think you can put it on the charger while flashing AS IT DOESN'T CHARGE...

Sorry to replay this thread but i had a situation like that.
I have a Hermes, with the pin of the USB that makes connection to PC broken... So my only Shot to update the ppc is from SD. The rom i have is one of 1st realeses of hermes wm6.5, so that stucks all the time, even i hard reset it...
When i try to update something from SD i cant because gives me that error 000602... Any idea? So i have to unlock the cid, but if i cant access to the windows what i must do?
If i hard reset it, it enter in windows, but 2 ou 3 seconds that stuck :S
If you can't get into windows to run SSPL.exe to install Hard SPL & your USB is stuffed so you can't connect to PC then you have a brick... If you had Hard SPL installed 1st then you wouldn't be in this situation.
Sorry, you have a brick unless you fix the USB connector.

First off, reflash your device with your phones original carriers ROM. Your phone will accept it. It sounds like you didn't SUPERCID your phone first, and didn't HARDSPL your phone.
Make sure you HARDSPL then SUPERCID your phone FIRST!
Download your phone's original carriers ROM and flash that via SD card to your device. That should return it back to "factory" state, and get it so that you can once again try to HARDSPL and SUPERCID your phone.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
Supercid then Hard SPL... If you run the V3a unlocker it flashes your SPL to 1.40... Hard SPl V7 is the latest and greatest. Technically you shouldn't need to supercid your Hermes after Hard SPLing it.
Hi
your instruction are really complete and clear but . . .
but my TyTn to day has a problem (better I have a problem!!)
After breaking the flash of a new ROM (it was corrupted) it either stays in bootloader mode (IPL 1.01 SPL 2.03) or,after few seconds from booting and displaying all data like
M 05 R 1.56.70.11
S 04 G 32.89.7020.20H
B 06 D 3.57
turns the display full white, make a "ding" and never enter into W.M. 6.5. Hence, how can I launch HERMES-SPL.exe ???
Other attempts to flash from PC through:
- RUUWrapper provide up-date error for missed USB connection
- <ROM>. exe the flash starts but stops after few second when the status bar, on the PDA reach 1%.
So, it became a brick?? There is any chance to retrive it?

Hey bud, if you hold the POWER BUTTON and the CAMERA button down and hit the RESET button, do you get a tricolour screen?
If so, then your phone is not bricked, just has a failed ROM on it.
You can flash via SD card onto your phone, and to do so, download the rom for your network, the one that originally came with your phone, onto your phone. when you put it on the SD card, make sure you name it HERMIMG.nbh. This'll allow you to flash via SD. put the card in, reset to the tricolour screen, and then follow the instructions for flashing.
Once this is done, you can then attempt again to SuperCID your phone.
Cheers!
hi,
I have One Herm 100 Imate Jasjam.It came to me for the repair,i searched and found the solution in the forum.The device has no IMEI and No Gsm and booting properly but no network.So i follow this thread "How to unbrick your bricked hermes" Link is http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
and found that the solution from the given Table after answering the all the questions,so the solution is (1.) Flash Hard-SPL (2.)Flash any radio in NBH format.Do both steps using SSPL+ActiveSync.
i could succesfully Flash the Hard-SPL.Now i put the Phone is bootlaoder mode i can see that the HERM100 IPL-1.04 and HERM100 SPL-2.10.Olipro.
But when i am performing the second step that is "Flash any radio in NBH format.Do both steps using SSPL+ActiveSync" (i downloaded the Hermes_Radio_1.50.00.00_108) from the support and trying to upgrade the radio but it always starts and stuck at updating 0% and not moving further and an error message popping up saying error 260 and 262.I read the read me and followed all the instructions but all the time i am getting the same error.
So please guide me what to do?
Waiting for replies from all the PDA Guru'S.
Regards,
Moderate.
If you had of read you might have found this is a problem with VERY low probability of you fixing it....
So saying, try the sd card method, You have Hard SPL on the phone, do this....
1. Format an sd card fat32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh on it. Rename to hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card and put Hermes into bootloader - Hold down power, OK button above flywheel and then use stylus to reset... Hold all three in until you get to the tri-colour screen A.K.A bootloader.
3. It should recognise the herm flash file so follow the prompts...
If the Radio only rom doesn't work you can try a stock rom... Best if you try the carrier rom it was initially.
If that doesn't work, at least you have a nice PDA.....
Good Luck, you're gonna need it...
Cheers...

Regards,
OOps it stopped at some percentage say between 10 to 15.And it didn't move further for more than 30 minutes.
I removed and trying to flash via pc but it is hanged at 14% now for a very long time.what could be the problem.Could this be hardware or i am making misake somewhere.

Congratulations! You now have a Hermes PDA
I have something like this now
I tried flashing CRC13 via USB
at about 92% it failed. It attempted to recover and failed again.
I used a 1gb lexar MicroSD, copied the CRC rom's RUU_Signed.nbh to the card as HERMIMG.nbh
reset holding Power and OK buttons.
It flashed 000680002 and went back to the tricolor screen
Herm100
IPL-1.04
Herm100
SPL-2.03
I'm trying the KITL method from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES
Any other suggestions?
If I let it attempt to boot normally, the CRC splash screen comes up, then brightens for a second, then goes blank. The charge indicator will respond to power, and the USB will make the PC "bu-bumb" but AS will not connect, explorer will not see it, and RUU_Wrapper will not detect it
Thank god... I DL'ed a factory OS, extracted it and ran the RUU_Wrapper and that did install
then installed CRC13 naked
All is well
Radimus, HARD SPL YOUR PHONE.... You were EXTREMELY lucky... If you are thinking about reflashing your phone you need Hard SPL ver 7 installed... It won't guarantee you won't brick your phone but will offer a safety net so you may be able to fix it.
Cheers...
for some reason the hardspl7 will not install via AS for me...
Is it OK to do it via sd card using SSPL-HERM.exe
Yep, thats actually my preferred method of flashing. Check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You can also flash Os'es with the sd card method. Once you've Hard SPLed your Hermes you won't need to use sspl.exe but make sure your battery is more than 50%.
I personally wouldn't flash the radio rom from the pc as there are too many things that can go wrong. SD card all the way...
Cheers...
done.

hi,
i have a hermes 200 with "no gsm".
i try to apply a rom with the sd-card method.
after the bootloader appears "loading" and after "checked" but nevers the screen to apply the rom.
an idéa ? not the good rom ?
**sorry for my english**:http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/redface.gif
I've tried every kind of Unlock software,upgrade ROM and method found in xda..In mtty bootloader (spl 1.04) respond at every command but not "info 2","info 3" .Sd card with any ROM,in the screen "loading..." and then "checking..." no CID on my phone ?
If you have "NO GSM" on your phone it means your radio rom has been corrupted. You should try to re-install the Shipped stock rom. If it doesn't work there isn't much more to do to fix your device. Flash it with an OS only rom and you can use as a PDA but it won't work as a phone again...
ok, no possibility to repear CID with a microsd-card method ?
tu use a mtty command for -6- is possible ?
or another method ?
------------------------
1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe
3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer
or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.
5. Insert microSD card on your phone
6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
You are not trying to repair the CID - Carrier ID. You are trying to reflash the Radio ROM... Installing the SHIPPED ROM may do this or may not.
Pof's Unlock_v3a WON'T fix the radio rom, in fact if you can actually downgrade the Radio rom with this app then good for you. It first downgrades the radio rom to 1.16.xx.xx and changes the SPL to 1.10.
I REALLY don't think you're going to be able to do this as the Radio ROM needs to be reflashed and yours is corrupted..... You can try though....
When i tried to install any firmware the progress stop at 11% and the Hermes only turn on in bootmode, any idea??

I had that problem and few more with my Hermes.
While it didn't help me, this suggestion by ultramag69 may help you...
Use the sd card method to flash a new rom, instead of a USB cable/Windows computer.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
Hope this helps!
Just one other thing summoner, make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. Otherwise the ONLY rom I'd try flashing like that is the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. Its so the CID will be recognised and won't cause a brick.
rmorera84, unless you've installed Hard SPL V7 then find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM and flash that, anything else may permanently brick your Hermes.
If you have Hard SPL V7 (IPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 oli) then flash what you like...
Cheers...
- Installed latested Orange rom, that I know of - SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007
- installed Hard SPL 7 & applied SIM unlock/super CID
- re-installed TNT TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
The result is:
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose I should upgrading the radio rom now!?
I am told don't try fixing what isn't broken - and it is working. 3G iNet, Phone, WiFi, BT - all good atm.
Or is there a particular update I should still install?
Thanks!
SUMM0NER, you're using an older, not so safe version of Hard SPL. The Hermes is downgraded to SPL 1.40 when you sim/CID unlock your phone. Best idea would be to re-install Hard SPL V7. Its a later version that seems less prone to problems when flashing.
Go back to the Hard SPL thread and get Hard SPL V7. I had the same thing happen to me when I unlocked the Hermes, nearly cost me my handset.
The steps are unlock Hermes, Install Hard SPL then upgrade OS.
Cheers...
Do I need to re-apply the OS rom file?
I just reinstalled Hard SPL7, now shows as IPL-104, SPL-2.10.Olipro.
Thanks!
My hermes only work whit this rom:Schaps_WM6Pro_ESN_3.54b-0808_Full
Because whit any other rom they stuck at 11%.
This is the info or the phone:
IPL-1.01
Spl-1.40.Olipro
Whit the first rom the htc boot but the phone funtion don´t work.
rmorera84, refer to my last post.
SUMM0NER, no. You have loaded the os, the reason you put Hard SPL V7 is if you want to upgrade the radio rom (not a good idea unless you are experiencing problems) or wish to change the os. Just means recovery is easier than if you didn't have it.
Cheers...
Many thanks ultramag69.
rmorera84 what branding is your Hermes (ie: Orange M3100, T-Mobile Vario 2, Vodeaphone V1605 etc...)?
Can I assume your Hermes is working right now?
If it is download and install HardSPL V.7 (attached to the bottom of the first post!)
Ones done verify that it installed correctly by holding the OK & Power button and pushing reset for a sec. The screen should display the coloured bars and say towards the centre: SPL-2.10.Olipro
It´s Cingular 8525, i could install the HardSPL V.7, now what rom i can flash??
You didn't confirm if it is working right now!?
If it is not working, try one of the official WM5 Cingular roms from this list. If that worked apply HardSPL 7 and take it from there.
Ones you downloaded the Cingular rom update you will have to keep unpacking the .exe files until you come to the actual .NBH file (WinRAR works for me).
Then follow ultramag69's instructions on flashing the rom via memory card.
Works, now i have this info:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
I download the official Cingular WM5 rom, but. i don´t know how install this rom by memory card, could you help me??
Excellent!
Try downgrading to the Cingular rom via USB. Just double click the EXE and follow the instructions.
To use the memory card method follow these steps...
0. unpack the .exe file containing the rom with Winrar (right-click exe then choose "Extract to...\")
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card to FAT32, copy the large 50MB-90MB .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh
2. Insert the card into your Hermes and reset to bootloader (hold OK & POWER and push RESET for a sec with the stylus)
3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.
The reason to use the memory card to upgrade a rom, rather than a usb cable, is to cut down on failed upgrades (dodgy Windows/usb port/usb cable/etc..).
All working? Try upgrading to a Hermes rom that didn't work previously.
Any rom you can find in the Hermes section. Go to the WM06 part of the forum, theres a sticky at the top with about 50 older roms and you'll find other roms there too (latest is wm6.5).
Cheers...
i install the official WM5 AT-T version the WM6 AT-T, but, i still whit the no-gsm problem, can i flash i radio? or what i can do??
You may not be able to fix this, if you know what the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM was and can find it, then flash that. It may not work, if it gets stuck at 11% - 17% mark it means the radio ROM is stuffed and the memory area is corrupted. Not fixable.
You could also try, if you know what it is, the original radio rom by itself. Again, if you can't get it to work, you have a PDA but won't work as a phone ever again. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Im to having the same problem, it keeps going back to the 2.1.Olipro boot loader.
I tried the memory card option and it starts to install but then stops.
Does anyone have and sugestions?
Cheers

Hi, I got my Hermes 8525 in boot mode what i did is to install this Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full.exe now my hermes is working but i want to unlock it..what can I do cos everytime i try got in to boot mode again..any help tks.,..
I have flashed my x7500 before using the Athena_WM6_TMUK_2.35.110.4 rom and that worked. Bootloader said spl v1.0 so I tried the authenaunlocker which said it worked and from then the bootloader said spl 1.2 olipro
I then thought I could update to AGB v3.0 , it seemed like it worked but when it rebooted, it shows some mad pixels like a corrupt image and then seems to boot but with a black screen. I can hear it do the ping it does when it asks to calibrate the screen but it is entirely black :-(
I have tried an sd card method of loading a new rom but it always fails after a few seconds with red numbers 68002 and then goes back to the tri color boot loader.
I tried ultravanilla rom renamed to ATHEIMG.nbh in the sd card (formatted to fat32) and that does the same thing with the red numbers.
have I completely bricked it?
I should say that I'm on Windows 7 and I've tried the MAC change fix but the mtty app doesn't give me a usb port to select, just com1 and com2
I tried the windows exectuable for updating the rom but it always fails with error 244 invalid model id.
here's the images I see
[edit] hurray! the mtty thing worked after I found an old laptop that had xp on it to use, as soon as I had that I downloaded activesync , unchecked allow usb connections and fired up mtty, that had an entry for usb and then I just followed the instructions and was able to change the id, after that, I was able to use the windows exe rom update. I'm now back to where I'm started and have donated to cmonex!
hi i have the same problem with my t-mobile ameo.
the tri-screen even shows the same digits as yours.
did you manage to get a fix for it. or is it totally bricked
If you can enter the bootloader (tricolor screen) it should be possible to reactivate your Ameo. I have flashed my Ameo with wrong SPL ROM too (because it was labled as SPL 1.2 but is SPL 3.5).
If you don't have a WinXP system on your hand, try to flash with SD-card. You need a FAT32 MiniSD card (not SDHC!) or FAT32 MicroSD with MiniSD adaptor.
Format the card and copy the ROM file (for the right SPL!) to it, rename the file from RUU_Signed.nbh to ATHEIMG.nbh. Then go to the bootloader and the Ameo should be ready to flash the new ROM.
If you have a WinXP system you can try to enter the bootloader (remove the MiniSD card before) and then connect your USB cable. The bootloader should change from "Serial" to "USB" and should be ready to flash a new rom.
If your Ameo is fractious you can find some good tutorials here.

If you have a WinXP system you can try to enter the bootloader (remove the MiniSD card before) and then connect your USB cable. The bootloader should change from "Serial" to "USB" and should be ready to flash a new rom.
If your Ameo is fractious you can find some good tutorials here.

If you can enter the bootloader (tricolor screen) it should be possible to reactivate your Ameo. I have flashed my Ameo with wrong SPL ROM too (because it was labled as SPL 1.2 but is SPL 3.5).

it is not working...
keep your cool
the most important thing is to keep your cool, I've been in trouble before and managed to sucsses, first of all if you are able to go into bootloader you're fine, it seems to mi you flashed wrong spl, the AGB v3.00 is for spl 3.5 only and for what I understand you have spl 1.2, also i my experience you should work with win xp, i have my laptop with 2 os xp and 7, just to do rom loading on my 3 advantages, so if you are able to put your athena in bootloader plug it to your pc your athena sould change from serial to usb, if you can manage that you are almost done, now all you have to do is flash a compatible rom spl 1.2, if you still want agb v.3 you need spl 3.5 and the only way to achive that is to flash athena projet 4 rom, only when that is acomplished you would be able to load an spl 3.5 rom. I hope this help, keep us posted.

flash rom problem
hi, I'm in the same situation and sorry for my English, I have a X7500 I unlocked the radio, and then I installed the 3.0 rom agb all went well, but on the first reboot the system does not start, black screen, if I press the volume button turns on but displays the volume and the touch does not work, I can not make it go into bootloader because it turns on and remains on the flag!
Can you help me?
thanks
