noob needed help

my hermes got "no gsm" , after i upgrade it to wm6
so i read the "wiki"...i found that i bricked my radio rom
SPL HTC_BOOT Boot OS? No GSM? KITL Diagnostic
Any Any Yes Yes --- bricked while flashing
radio, OS can boot
Solution
1. Flash Hard-SPL
2.Flash any radio in NBH format
Do both steps using SSPL+ActiveSync
i am matched with this situation
but i got confuse with the step 2
should i use the Radio 1.43.00.00(ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/Radio 1.43.00.00.zip)
or (ftp://xda:[email protected]a-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar)

Help no gsm can flash to any rom without radio

Help
Have read as much info as i can about bricked phone.
Have no radio working shows no gsm on boot

if i try to flash radiio rom only it wont and stays at 0% until errror message 262
so its a 1a
but not having any luck
please help as this was my dads phone
its an orange spv3100/ herms 100

try reinstalling a stock rom. might work but if you cant install a radio it looks like you have a nice pda but not a phone anymore...

No Not really
The only reason i was having to reflash the phone was that it was locking up all the time, even having flashed the phone it was having problems with Tom Tom.
Please HELLP!

Can some one please advise me on this situation,
is there any way of sorting this out?

stock orange m3100 rom wont flash
Just tried standard orange m3100 rom
it stops at 12% and wont continue,
seems any rom with a radio wont flash past 12/13%
any radio free rom is fine
it wont flash radio only roms
PLEASE HELP

Have you tried flashing radio only?

Have tried radio only roms,
they wont work at all and stays at 0%
have olivpro 2.30 and hardspl7
thought this was ment to prevent bricking?

no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...

have you tried flashing a rom with radio included through yur sd card. had same issue and this worked for me.

If ya can't install a radio, sounds like your stuck with a pda and not a phone.
Have you tried a number or radio's?
As ultramag69 says
no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...

using hardsplv7 improves chances of recovering, but nothing is 100%
If you flash your phone with manufacturers rom and get everything back to original, see if orange or manufacturer will fix it under warranty or insurance. THIS IS A LAST RESORT AS IF THEY DIG DEEP AND KNOW YOU HAVE MESSED WITH PHONE, THEY'LL DO NOTHING FOR YOU!!!
Personally I have returned phone once due to not being able to receive or make calls. I flashed original rom etc but forgot to put original radio back on. They never noticed and I got my phone back fixed. But this is a BIG RISK.

have now managed to get spl 1.01 on the phone
trying to change to spl 1.04 and reflashing!
however now when i task 32

level FF not Level 0???
any ideas??

shamless bump

Ditto.
Is there anyway of fixing the corrupted radio? is there no way to "re-write" the radio bootloader?
obviously the radio bootloaders have changed over the different versions of the roms so why cant we "re-construct" the bootloaders in this fashion?
Referring to :HERMES Bootloader 1.01 MFG (WIKI) I cant use the "Flashing SPL-1.04 again" method because my radio is corrupted, so, I lose SuperCID, and don't have access to the lnb command; is there a SPL-1.04.nbS that we can use?!
If there is, would it allow us to use a radio of that version? or is this mute?
I've read several threads and the wiki several times, but, it seems this corrupted radio issue is something new that the wiki's are partially addressing, or, whatever has caused the radio to suddenly become corrupt requires a new method to fix it.
I know i've said I've read the forums, wiki, but perhaps I've missed something? Any assistance is appreciated!

I was wondering if any body had spl 1.04 on their mini sd card?
the method were you just transfer over to the mini card and click on it.
i managed to change my boot loader to version 1.01 this way.
if i can change it to 1.04 can i flash to radio with out it stopping.
thanks

just solved exact problem
Hi

This link you speak of is of high importance!! what were the commands? what was the link?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-280372.html
but after installing radio 1.47 it happened again in one call.
still in square one ....
No SD-card install works (stucks in GSM)
no shipped rom works
i want to ask if there is anyway to erase the whole radio sector ??
rerase command did not work on my hermes may be pof has some solution to this.

After lots and lots of reading the wiki's and forums over and over again I believe I may have solved the radio corruption problem on my 8525.
Just to let everyone know that I've tried flashing several SPL's; 1.01 MFG, 1.04, 1.10 Oli, 2.10 Oli, 2.60 Oli. Back and forth between the versions but finally I stayed put at 1.10.
I have/had a type 1a brick, but, not from flashing, everything was working great and then it just died. I tried Method 1 of Problem 5: Device shows NO GSM when booting more times then i would like to remember, however, nothing worked. When i tried a Radio only flash it failed at 0% and when i tried a FULL RUU it failed at 12/13% (GSM.nb). Convinced I had a $500 paper weight I got angry tried Method 2 of Problem 5 (see above link) ... strangely on the first try i was able to see the radio (1.40.30.00) and the protocol version as well...
I then thought this was too good to be true and then soft-reset my phone; BAM! "NO GSM".... I tried several times and then finally got the version readouts again... So i soft-reset into bootloader mode
Code:
typed: info 2
returned: HTCS
typed: task 32
returned: Level = 0
typed: rtask b
returned: AT-Command Interpreter ready <--------- YES!!!
I was then able to get enter the AT/Radio Commands so i did what anyone else would do.... FLASH ANOTHER RADIO!!!
I flashed the Radio from HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a and it just finished... I got an error at the end, and after the soft-reset the version stayed 1.40.30.00, but once booted into WM6.1 it immediately picked up the 3G signal... I hope this lasts longer then others have reported.
Should i try to flash another radio that is radio_bootloader 108???

*sigh* ... froze in WM6.1 reset then "No GSM" again... so then i tried HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a but it failed because I kept getting No GSM; so i did the battery trick to get version info's then ran the .bat as instructed and it perfomed the unlock; this time it reflected the radio 1.16.0.0
since I know what it takes to get the radio to flash, i'm trying RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe ..... i mean what do i have to lose right?
[EDIT] it worked... so lets see what happens.... [/EDIT]
[EDIT2] Radio is 1.54.07.00 & Protocol is 32.86u.7020.23H ... so it looks like its perm now... I've been able to send and recieve calls now too.... [/EDIT2]

after several hours of usage, radio no longer responds and WM becomes unstable and after a soft-reset I get "No GSM" ...
Question to Olipro, Des, pof:
Is it possible to log the beginning bootup screen to see what exactly triggers the "No GSM" vs the radio/protocol versions?!?! there has to be something that were missing... it would seem ever since radio 108 this problems have arisen... comments?

Problem to flash Radio

Hello,
I am trying to flash my Diamond radio with RUU and radio 10.0.25.05 and my ROM is bElite v0.95 Premium.
I have flashed my ROM without problem but i can't manage to flash my radio. Eadch time i am launching flash process for radio, the process is beginning but stops at 0% and it fails because of a connection problem (error 262)
Could someone tells me what is the problem and helps me?
I have searche d everywhere in the forum. I ve heard about a unsigned and signed SPL. Maybe it's the same trick about RUU and I haven t got the good one...? Could someone just give me a link to the radio version 10.0.25.05 and to the Diamond Custom RUU I could use?
I am afraid to brick my phone...
Thanks for you answer

Please...
Does someone can help me?

it seems my problem can come from vista drivers. I foud a topic :
http://mahmood1.com/upgrade_pocket_pc_ruu_in_vista.aspx
But even folowing the instructions my update is still locked at 0% and tells me an error 262.
I ve done the whole instructions and installed the old driver but no matters. Somebody knows a way to solve my problem?

Using signed Hard-SPL?
Use this this to flash your radio : http://htcroms.aplace4u.biz/signed/radio/Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.rar

Hi Corian,
Thnaks to you I ve finaly flashed my radio!
Your trick was the good one.
Now I am trying to install a new rom casue i dont like the 0.95 bepe elite.
I have exactly the same problem with every flash i am attempting. It stays at 0% and tells me a 262 error.
My SPL is olinex 1.30.
Could you tell me whats the best and if you can give me the link to download the good files.
I d like to install an official HTC Rom and maybe for this i have to change the SPL?
Thanks for your great help.

HI,
Finally I have solved all py problems.
The problem was coming from the hard SPL I had installed.
I ve managed to change the hard spl which wasn t possible. I had to force the mode bootloadrer and then the hard spl was flashed and replaced by 1.40 Olinex unsigned.
Then I flashed rom and radio and splash screen without any problem.
In fact the whole thing about drvier Vista wasn t the problem I think.
Thanks to Corian who helped me to identify the source of the problem : incompatibility with hard spl taking only signed things.

Urgent! My diamond has hardware problem and need to fallback to stock ROM and SPL.

Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:
---------------
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
...
-----------------
I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!
Please help...

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

Thanks a lot.
Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.

If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included

Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.

You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU

I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!

Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

I think as long as the SPL is changed and the ROM is of the original language the I think it should be OK to send back like that

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.

Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

yeah, but hardspl, relockers and all flom link dont work for me. I have latest rom and spl 0.88, thats seems problem. I try it many times, on many PC, on many cables, on many systems. Dont work. I have only 2 ideas that can help. Downgrade spl with original flasher, but dont know, if exist. Move custom rom to ogiginal flash directory with original ID. I someone has idea to unlock it, please help.

Why are you trying to relock?
What are you actually trying to do?
It looks like you've already tried this. If <<< that didn't work, not sure what to tell you mate.

Hi there, first poster so bare with me.
I had problems installing the H-SPL too. Then at last after trying and trying I thought by myself, maybe there could be a version (security) problem using an official 0.88 SPL rom update which doesn't work with the HSPL 0.88 version.
So what I did I looked around for any official ROM update (downgrade) version and also for the official SPL included.
I found the following HTC site (mind the spaces): www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-touch-pro2/#download
So I guess the H-SPL (version 0.88) isn't able to unlock official 0.88 spl's.
