Loading Black 3.01-Bricked-Bootloader ?

Hi,
Well after 2 phones and countless upgrades, I finally bricked my hermes! I have read countless threads and the WIKI but I don't see my problem anywhere. When I soft reset my phone, it sticks at the Logo Screen(AT&T in my case). If I try to go to bootloader, it will go to boot loader screan(tri-color) for about 2-3 seconds then it goes to the loading screen that you see when you are upgrading. I have 1.01 bootloader.
I have cid unlocked and upgrading many times, but at last, I am totally stumped. Can someone point me in the right direction! Thanks

try to upgrade a complete rom from a microsd card. You can try one with SPL 1.01 if possible from your original carier. You know waht to do: you rename the nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and put it in a empty card. with the card in the slot produce the tri-color mode.

It's a shame that you did not do the reading of countless threads and the WIKI BEFORE updating your phone, why didn't you have HARDSPL 2.10 on there?
Check the thread in my sig or/and look on the WIKI for the table that Pof kindly put together it should point you to the answer you need. It's not Black 3.01 fault so I wouldn't have mentioned it in the heading as it will insult those people responsible for Black 3.01.

Thanks everyone, I believe I am back on the right track....it seems that my microSD card was causing my phone to kick out of bootloader mode. Not sure why but I took the card out and I am now flashing back.
Thanks for all the help!!! Knowledge is power!

What if Everything goes ok But no power?

I got one Hermes100. I tried upgrade via Microsd, Upgrade 100% cOMPLETE, but after it the phoe become complete dead. No Boot Loader using Boot Sequence. Nothing not even red light when USB inserted. Any Possinility to Bring it in Boot Loader mode?
Thank U.

Press (at the same time) the Power Button, The OK Button on the left side and the reset button with the pen. Should go into Bootloader.
When you flash, you have to tell it what bootloader you are using as it won't autodetect.

Nothing goes right!!!!!

Dont know what goes wrong, But here is the story, The phone was Perfect but in Japanes Langauge. O2 Trion, with DOCOMO rom in it. It was flashed for Langauge change and Update to WM2006, used DEV_HERMES_WWE_WM6 rom. Using olipro boot loader via filemanager and using sd card for flashing. It flashed 100% and after reset nothing.... No Boot Mode, No KITL, No Light when USB / Charger insert. But without battery the signal light blink RED. thats the story. Cant get any report via mtty cause I cant bring it in to boot mode.
Any help would be appriciable.

Why do you people not read the upgrade guides before you flash your $600 phones? the first thing you HAVE TO DO is load SPLV7 on your phones with out it its like going to a whore house and expecting to not come out without some STD its just not going to happen....

i dont think that has anuthing to do with the ROM..

I have may be similar problem. I tried to unlock my htc p3300.
After doing the procedure there was an instuction to hard reset it.
When did that, my device just blocked. It starts only in the beginning (light screen with red figures on the lef top) and that's all.
In this position it could not activesynced to upload the factory rom.
Please, advise me what to do.

Sameproblem, someone has a solution?

There is a possibility to load the bootloader!
Press and hold camera & power buttons together and make soft reset with your pen and hold camera & power buttons together until it says "bootloader mode"
Here you can load your rom on to it!
Good luck!
Ps. does anyone have a original dutch tmobile rom?!

Please Help!?!? ATT 8525 No Working

I have installed one of the ROMs here and it was a beta version....I didn't know and now my phone don't work at all.....I can't do anything....the power/ ok/ stylus button thing doesn't work for me....have tried a hard reset but it goes back to the "This is a beta version screen"....please some one help....

What if you try another Hard Reset and on the screen when it asks for preess screen , do a left side ok + right power hold buttons and soft reset with stylus while you still pushing the buttons. Do you see 4 colors?
Plug it and install aonother rom

Doing a HR may not help as it is probably a timebomb. I'd suggest reflashing another rom.... This will get rid of the "Beta Version" message. A lot of people have been caught by this when a rom released by PDAViet went bung. Not their fault as it probably surprised them too, they released an updated versio without the time bomb today....YAY!!!!
Cheers...

I don' get that screen at all...nothing happens when I do that...I have been pressing that all day....

Just double checking, The POWER BUTTON, THE OK BUTTON NEXT TO THE FLYWHEEL AND THE STYLUS RESETTING ALL HELD TOGETHER UNTIL BOOTLOADER APPEARS.........
Sorry if this seem like I'm treating you like a noob but the amount of posts sugggest this. A lot of noobs think that a HARD RESET is the same as goining into BOOTLOADER.......
If you have installed Hard SPL, and get to bootloader, you can reflash a new rom onto your device.
IF you get to bootloader,
1). Format an sd card fat32.
2). Copy .nbh file from your pc onto the sd card and rename it to "hermimg.nbh"
3). Put sd card into phone and go to bootloader.
4). Follow instructions to flash.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER......
This will put a new os on your hermes. Make sure its NOT 19949 as this is a beta test version....(not all but unless you're sure, DON'T)
Hope this helps... Cheers....

Here we go....another one flashing ROM's without reading a damn thing in this forum! Gawd this is frustrating!!

Yeah, I know ai6908. But I'd prefer to help them flash properly now then to have to sit there for ages trying to get information out of them to help unbrick their phones. Besid, if we get the noobs up to speed fast , then they can help the next generation of noobs instead of us old farts....

Why are you suggesting SD Card flashing? If he puts the PDA in Bootoader he can normally flash another ROM...

Yea thats what I was hoping too, but its getting damn old after a while you know it!

He's a noob, Not much goes wrong or can go wrong with sd card method, short of resetting phone in middle of a flash. ANd lets face it, if you're that stupid then you don't deserve your Hermes...
Please note, I'm not calling anyone on this thread stupid. No need to flame for THAT misunderstanding...

HELP PLEASE! i780 dead!

Hi everyone!
I really need help!
my samsung i780 is dead after i flashed the boot part with the eboot from DXHC4!
I already tried everything!
i flashed de boot part with E1, flashed the three parts with the c4 and e1 rom and nothing! the flash process always complete without errors!!
I can acess bootloader without problems, i can also entre the hard reset menu pressing the green , red and power button but when i press space to performe the hard reset nothing happens and i tried to wait several minutes!
when I power on the phone it doens't even show the samsung logo! Just black screen!
I would really apreciate some help!
thank you!

A good challenge for the I780 Specialists
I bet that the solution would be very easy
All the best to you

There are quite a number of answers posted. EFN had already explained too many times. He had said that the bootloader works fine, that's a good start.
Just get the necessary rom from EFN thread, phone rom PUHE1 and the pda rom DXHE1. There is even a tutorial on this in EFN thread (1st post).

g00ndu can you please help find the thread/topic where EFN explaines it, i'm having a hard time finding it!
thank you

I think he is talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409258&highlight=EFN+PUHE1+DXHE1
download Flashing Guide Tutorial - at the bottom of the 1st post

did exactly as said in the tutorial....
nothing... it seems that the eboot is always the same.....
i don't know what else to do!

g00ndu i can't find the thread you are talking about....
where does EFN talks about the bootloader or a problem like mine??
could you please help me!
thanks!

Okay step by step:
Did you downloaded the russian rom i780PUHE1 (eboot+phone+pda)?
Did you downloaded the i780DXHE1 (pda only)?
Follow the tutorial, assuming step 1 to 4 had already been done.
(5) Launch Mirage updater. Select MIRAGE LV image as the profile
(6) Select EBOOT+PDA+PHONE and select the extracted RUSSIAN .img file
(7) Click on DETECT
(8) Switch on the phone while holding the ENTER and FUNCTION buttons (ALT BUTTON)
(9) After the system DETECT message appears, connect the phone via USB to your PC
(10) Wait until the image is written.
Before flashing to the DXHE1 rom first, please try to boot up and see if it works. If it is successful, you will see plenty of gibberish characters. This is EXPECTED, as the rom is russian.
If it doesn't boot up, then I am sorry I won't be able to help you.
Try the above first. Point to note is to choose eboot+phone+pda. Always press detect first before going through the enter+function+power on process.
If it works, please let me know.

g00ndu, thank you very much, but i already done that several times step by step....
but, unfortunately it stays the same....when i power it on it turns on the backlight but the screen remains black and nothing happens...
but thank you very much anyway!

hellboss, I'm sorry about your device. Perhaps it might be a hardware issue. I'm not sure.
While the device may have a black screen, you could try to see if the LED lights work, whether there is a sound after the system boot up. These are important clues to see if it is really hardware issue.
Once again, I wish you could find a solution to your problem.

Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to discover which ROM is installed in the equipment... I mean, the samsung doens't start i can only go into emergency mode,,, is it possible through the pc to discover which ROM is installed on it??
thank you!

I'm not really sure, but have you try to dump your rom using pdocread, one of the itsutilsbin tools? Meaning get the Part00, Part01 and Part02 raw files which is your rom dump?

If i were you I will try most official rom to rescue the device first. like i780XHC4 that one has all three (healthy and normal) parts.

dogmood i already tried.... but still nothing...
g00ndu , to dump the ROM don't i need to change some values on some key at the pocket pc registry?? if so i can't because the pda doens't start....
P.S-the first time i flashed it i did it on a pc with windows xp but all the time the process was incomplete and i need to turn off the phone and restart the phone, and at the second time was succesful, now i'm doing it on a virtual machine running windows xp pro sp2,,,,, can my problem be related to that??
thank you!

I use a VM for the flashing myself, so this shouldnt cause problems.

If flashing the official rom (EBOOT & Phone & PDA) doesnt work for u then you have to consider the fact that your i780 busted on the hardware level.
The best thing to do now is to claim for warranty and make sure u sent them beack with official rom in your phone (HC4)

Hi EFN,
well I've considered that, and I think that my next move is going to be warranty
but unfortunately the ROM that came with the PDA was not the DXHC4, i bought my samsung in Portugal.
my problem now is that the PDA became dead when i flashed it with the DXHC4 eboot, and now that i can't flash any other ROM i can't put the original ROM, which i have a dump, on it....
so i think that is not going to be accepted on warranty....
honestly i can't discover what went wrong.... I followed every single step of the tutorial to revive a dead i780....
thanks!
P.S-> EFN, I'm a great admirer of your work (samsung i780 ROMs), unfortunately I'm not going to be able to try them......but... anyway keep up the good work!

I believe for as long as the rom on your i780 is an official one (regardless of version), Samsung will honor the warranty. You have to try to know. And of course dont tell them that you have been messing up with flashing this and that

well i think so, if the rom is an official one they will honor the warranty...
that's the why of my question about a way to know the version of the ROM installed on the PDA, but i haven't discover anything...
i guess will just try my luck and send it to warranty!
thanks!

Trinity Stuck!!

After doing soft reset to my htc trinity it gave me black screen and nothing than this...tried flashing new rom i entered boot loader and flashed correctly but after it finished flashing and reset it gave me black screen also tried different roms but same proplem
Can Anyone help?!!

Hai...! I am not expert on this stuff . may the other can give you a good solution to solve your problem. Did you try to hard reset your device or do hard SPL before flashing? if you didn't do the Hard SPL that's the problems. Some one said to fix the broken Trinity with JTAG Solution, be careful to do this.
See for the thread about JTAG to unbrick your Trinity on this forum.
Hope it will help you...

hmmm..i use olipro 1.30 hard spl,,,but i am wondering why just it cant be replaced by old spl?? and also using the JTAG solution seems dangerous alittle

Hi EgyPharaoh, Have you tried flashing back to the Stock OEM ROM yet? That will usually fix problems with a bad flash for me. You can find it HERE. I would not recommend looking into JTAG just yet.
If this does not work, let me know and we will research the next step.

I started flashig it but it reaches about 28% then gives me upate error [262]..but i flashed official htc rom "HTC [WWE] v1.23.405.2] with no errors and when i open it it shows the "htc image" and freezes.
and it says in the readme that if this error showed then it might be that the wince is destroyed or in upgrade mode...how to know now wether it is destroyed or in the upgrade mode??

Sorry about the delay, and thank you for the PM reminder.
Try flashing directly from the BootLoader Screen, by holding both the Power and Camera Buttons while you press and release the Reset Button using your stylus. Continue to hold the Power and Camera Buttons until your phone enters bootloader.
If that does not work, try to flash using your SD Card.
Using either 7zip or WinRAR, extract the contents of the OEM ROM you downloaded earlier. You are looking for the RUU_signed.nbh file inside. If you prefer to just download it, you can find it HERE.
Rename the file from RUU_signed.nbh to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to your SD Card. Don't place it in any folder, just in the Root of the Card. Place the SD Card back into your phone if it's not already.
Now, Enter Bootloader by holding both the Power and Camera Buttons while you press and release the Reset Button using your stylus. Continue to hold the Power and Camera Buttons until your phone enters bootloader. It should at this time start to flash the OEM ROM you copied earlier. Hopefully, this will be successful. If it is, it will have replaced your HardSPL ROM & Radio, so you will need to flash those again.
Let me know if this works or not.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked. Remember, you will need to Flash HardSPL again if you want to flash Custom ROMs again, and also an updated Radio if you prefer.

Then you are fine. I guess you have an OEM ROM that has the HSPL and Radio stripped out of it.
