My First Brick..... :eek:

Hi guys. I have installed loads of ROMs onto my trusty hermes yet today, when trying to flash DuttyThroys Ultra Ultra Lite rom this happened: i downloaded ROM and installed it, it seemed to install fine, got to 100% and then came up with error message stating that Image File was corrupt. Now my hermes is stuck on the multicoloured bootloader screen?!?!?!? I have SPL 2.10. Hard SPL V7 HERM 100 IPL 1.04 (Dont know which of these is relevant to anythin?) .I have read the WIKI on repairing bricks but for my problem it says to reflash any nbh without radio. How is this possible if i cant get my pc to connect to my hermes???
Tried the method of turning off usb connection in active sync, removing battery, reconnecting to usb and running mitty (command SET 14 0) but nothing happens. Mitty says CMD error and active sync doesnt reopen the connection like the guide says! Man i hate this cuz i have now become one of those annoying noobs who has bricked their phone and hassles everyone for help!!!!
Have also tried to flash from sd card but nothing happens, flicks to white screen with LOADING... on it for 2 secons then flicks back to that wonderful multicoloured screen of joy!
Any help will be appreciated guys, cant live without my hermes!!!

Welcome to the fuc... nightmare world of the brick,i'mma in your same situation,now my Tytn is a piece of white stone,and it seems there's no reason to bring it back to live!
I can't stay without my Tytn i do a lot of things with it,Skype,SIP calls,Mail,Messenger,Memo,Internet......i'm in totally despair!!!

Brilliant story! both compelling and rich. But i have already explained that my pc doesnt recognise my hermes so how do you RECOMMEND i flash??

IT could be interesting to make the minimal effort to go and read the wiki.
anyway:

With the microsd card...

right, its looking good. managed to begin flashing (bar has stopped for ages but having read this is normal im not so scared!) using the SD method. Where my device wasnt superCID i had to use the matching ROM (Orange) to my CID (which incidently i dont know, just downloaded both Orange ROMs).
While im waiting ill try and help you TETSUO! (Im a noob so probably cant!)
Is your device SuperCID??? tell me as much as you can about your device SPL etc

dude, if u read my post u would have seen that i have tried SD method once (sing Black 3.5 not ORANGE ROM), im not crying and im grateful for any help but when i get advice such as 'flash a rom' im gonna be pissed!

And i have read ALL the page on unbricking!!!

It worked!!
One more question, as i have installed a stock Orange ROM do i now need to reinstall HardSPL v7??

Are you on a Win XP or a Vista PC?

XP dude, sorry should have said! and thanks
i went into bootloader, still says 2.10 olipro but when i try to update to new ROM (Black X RC)and pick autodetect it says it says unknown version, use SSPL. it never used to say this so i assume i need to install HardSPL 7 again???

with the tri colour sceen, when you plug the usb cable in does it go from serial to USB ?
what OS have you got ?
just my 2 cents hope it helps.

dude, i have got past that problem and have managed to install an Orange ROM onto it. i only need to know ow whether to install HardSPL v7 again!

sorry slooooooooooooooooow typing
good question hope there an answer,

just saw your post if ur device is hardspl you just need to supercid your device, If your spl is still showing hardspl and its coming as a error that normally happens to me as well just manually click spl 2.10 and tick (is it hardspl?}

To recap, i have now managed to flash a stock Orange ROM from SD card ( i think the reason it didnt work first time with SD is because device isnt SuperCID and i was trying to flash Black RC, soon as i used Orange ROM (my device is M3100) it worked. I am now back to a fully operational device. I wish to go back to Black but when i AutoDetect what bootloader i have it recommeds SSPL method. Before all my problems it would always automatically pick 2.10?? Does this mean i need to install HardSPL v7 again??

it was HardSPL v7 before all these problems, but im a noob so dont know if it still is?? would installing Orange ROM from SD Card remove HardSPL?? Bootloader still shows SPL as 2.10 oli

If you only flash the orange os.nb only then your hardspl wouldnt have changed so its safe to flash your device just manually choose.
If you want to flash hardspl again then do it on a precaution method

Mark,
First of all well done for getting yourself out of a hole. It seems quite difficult to ask for help these days without being shot to pieces even when you have first tried to help yourself by doing all the right things, which is more than can be said for some who come on here asking for help. So well done again.
Re your question, I would reflash Hard SPL anyway to be sure; however before you do that go to the Mr Vanx's guide on hard SPL (forgot the link but type in www.mrvanx.org and you should be taken there) and follow his instructions.
Good luck.

Orange HTC touch diamond ROM update

Hello i have a HTC orange Touch Diamond and i want to update the ROM as it is terrible. I am not that technical. can someone please explain what i need to do from scratch.
Thank you

I suggest your search the forum...

hello newbie
yes use the search button...it works really well

You first need to flash your diamond with one of the hard spl on this site and after you've done that you can take your pick from any of the roms on here

sorry guys i did look just didnt understand much. I am trying to use Hard SPL just cant get it to work.

same here
I have an orange htc Diamond and would really apreciate which files wouldwork. Everything I have tried stay's at Zero and ends up in an error.
Any help would be greatly ppreciated

root directory
to use hard spl i have to put a file in the root directory! but what is the root directory?

Hi James, your failing at 0% most likely because the SPL your using will not allow unsigned ROM's. Look for another SPL, one with developer edition in the title is good and works quite well for me.
I have an Orange also, the first thing to do is install the SPL then flash the radio (.05 is good) then get a new ROM!
Hope this helps

i think i broke my phone!!!!!
lol
i put the 2 files sspl and jump into my Diamond then i run sspl from my diamond and my phone resets.

You need to do the following
1. Download the Unsigned HardSPL 1.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 and extract to a folder on your PC. Make sure you have Active sync installed and setup with your Diamond. Run the Updater in the 1.24 folder. Once the Phone reboots reconnect with active sync.
2. Download any of the ROMS on here and run the ROM to flash the phone.
Thats it !!!!!

Hard SPL won't work
Hello,
From what I've read on the forum and also on www.modmydiamond.info, I gather I need to go through the Hard SPL step before installing any ROM.
However, after trying 2 different SPLs (hard_spl.120 and diamond_hspl_1.24) it still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at 0%.
Thanks

Unable to upgrade to Hard SPL

Hi mates.
I'm really new to all these but I have read all this really carefully.
At modmydiamond.info I follow exactly every word as described and I'm trying to do the upgrade of my new HTC Diamond.
At the first step (upgrading to Hard SPL) the whole procedure lasts less than 1-2 minutes. It is supposed to last about 10 minutes. I have tried both ways..."If you are having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy the file "SSPLManual.exe" from the directory you unzipped the installation package to the device and run it (recommended to run it from the Windows folder). INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE. Your device screen will turn black and you can start from step 2 of this guide" and the result is always the same: The progress bar on my PC (Vista windows) goes to 100% in 2-3 seconds and then I'm ready to click Finish. The diamond is doing the soft reset and at the first screen I can see again this:
R 1.00.25.05
G 52.29.25.12H
D 1.93.00.00 in red colour all of them.
Anyone has any idea, please help!
p.s. when my PC recognise the diamond it says something "quallcom CDMA" or something like that. I read something about CDMA or not. Is that helps? My device actually is a Xda O2 Ignito from UK.

im just a n00b in here but the thing is for cdma rom update you need something else like the tutorial that is stickied it says not for cdma users maybe thats the prob do you have a sim card or anyting else you put into your pda

I finally think that the CDMA has nothing to do because I have two Diamonds,
one XDA O2 Ignito and the other one HTC Diamond from Vodafone. Both of them from UK and I am in Greece. I did the same procedure for the Hard SPL and I had exactly the same results.
I also tried it in windows XP in an other PC and again the same.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong with the ActiveSync?
What else can you guess? Please give me some help cause I have to sell one of them and it must be in Greek!
hkayak...thanx for your response!
How can I know if they are CDMA or not?

I finally did it!!!!
Hey guys many thanx to all of you in that forum! I finally did it with Hard SPL, Radio and Greek rom! keep going on the good work!
keep ridin'...cause life is a free ride!

pls help me rhodium from t mobil doesnt work after upgrade to 6.5

modelid RHOD210

Ok, please come down...
Let me guide and help you...
First of all it is good that you have done Hard-SPL !
So, if you ROM went BAD and you can not do anything with your Rhodium...
There is a thing that you can do...
Please, follow those steps:
1. Take the cover of the cell phone, and search for the SOFT-RESET hole at the
RIGHT (other side from the VOLUME up/down).
2. Press the VOLUME DOWN, hold it and than SOFT-RESET.
It will take you to tree colour page for BootLoader screen.
3. Connect the device to the computer and try to Flash the ROM again
(or other ROM...).
Good Luck !!
Any help, just ask for it...

hi
Doesn't work from boot laoder too I think the is no radio flash because I can't see olinex in trial color just 5 or 6 Kobe of numr

i think the Hard SPL V2_00R3_185 file you downloaded is corrupted. i also downloaded today but couldn't extract it.

That s mean my device is brick dead

Try this: Download any GSM ROM from this forum (I like EnergyROM Leo), unzip it, and rename the .nbh to "RHODIMG.nbh" (without the quotes) if it isn't already called that. Copy that onto a MicroSD card (that is formatted to FAT32), and put that in your device. Now, go into the bootloader (power off the device, then press Power and Volume Down) then follow the instructions. Hopefully you just had a bad flash, and reflashing will solve it.

I will try but I think my phone is no radio flashed yet bcuz I can't see olinex in bootloader

Oh, if it doesn't say 0.85.OliNex, then you're still on a stock SPL, so my suggestion won't work. Try flashing the TMobile stock ROM for your device, and retry the HardSPL process (I would advise redownloading everything to ensure it's not corrupt).

So how canine flash t mObile stock rom

After download and UnRAR it, you will find anything you need for Hard-Spl and the Original Tutorial
For Flash and for Stock Restore...
Enjoy!

Calm down
First of all, posting 2 new threads and commenting in the NRG thread is called spamming, stop it. It'll be much easier for you to get the help you need by sticking with one thread (I imagine the Mod is going to do that for you). Second, blasting your email address and phone number publically is bad practice, you open yourself up for a massive email spam list and phone pranks. I suggest you go in and edit your post as soon as possible and delete that information out. Thirdly, I'm guessing English is not your native language, if it isn't I suggest typing the problem out in your own language, use a translation software (I think Google Docs has this feature), and post the translation into the forum. This will help with clarity of what's going on.
Now with all that said, my final suggestion would be to tell us exactly what you have done to the phone IN THE ORDER that you've done it, up until the point that you're at now. Also, being that you bought this phone off a craigslist (another mistake imho, I'd rather just spend the extra $$ for the warranty and piece of mind that it's from the manufacturer/carrier directly), tell us what condition the phone was in to begin with. Did it come with NRGZ ROM preloaded, or the stock ROM? Was it locking up before you decided to reflash? Did you read the Flashing Guide stickied to the top of this forum before flashing your phone? (If not, let this serve as a reminder to all other newbie's looking to flash to READ BEFORE YOUR MOD!)
We're going to try and help you, correzzola, but you need to take a breath and calm down. It's just a phone, granted a lot of money, but you're not suffering onto the point of bloodshed so it's all going to be okay.

From the look of it, you HardSPL'd, flashed a cooked ROM, then removed HardSPL. Huh... that's probably not good. Try flashing this T-Mobile US ROM (I'm assuming you have a T-Mobile US TP2) while in the bootloader, and see if that solves it (or even flashes at all). If that doesn't work, I'm honestly not 100% sure what to do next, since I've never heard of anyone doing this before.

Firstly, STOP SPAMMING THE BOARD!!! - you will only annoy people and make them less likely to help you.
Secondly, Read what Dave (the Tytn Guy) has posted and let us know what happens, any more problems post in this thread and I'll see what I can suggest.

itry this rom too but doesnt work TMOUS Stock Shipped Rom 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE

i think this step is responsable of my probleme Stock/Shipped SPL by RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip

Just unlocked my old Excalibur and about to start playing

Last October I finally upgraded from my old Excalibur to my new HTC Desire but recently found a need to have a secondary phone on hand with a different network provider.
I have the BT version of the Excalibur (the ToGo) and got it unlocked for free very easily and painlessly from BT (0800 6781030 from landline or 01324 456789 from mobile).
I know the device is quite old now but I've only really found out about all the custom stuff for it and just wanted to make sure what I am doing.
Plan is to put the WM 6.5 3VO ROM onto it but having explored the forums, FAQs and stickies there are a number of things I'm still confused about.
First thing is what exactly is the CID unlock (and why is the USPL better?) and is the USPL necessary to properly flash the new ROM (as it isn't mention in the 3VO installation instructions).
EDIT: I found a USPL folder inside the 3VO rar. Does the auto.bat file do it for you?
EDIT 2: Answered my own question - the batch file does have the instructions to first install the USPL before running the RUU...
Next is the installation of the T9 keyboard after the flash. This thread (does not explicitly mention 3VO but is about other 6.5 ROMs) mentions the need to update the keyboard. Is this necessary and if so does it need to be the US one or should I use the UK one listed in the stickied thread?
Lastly I understand that the 4th ROM on this list is the official ROM for my phone if it all goes wrong. The unbricking tutorial mentions that I would need to run the RomUpdateUtility.exe but the file comes simply as an .exe with the name HTC_S620_WWE_BT_3.66.424.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe. I assume that it is the same?
EDIT: Whoops. Might help if I actually opened the archive to find the RomUpdateUtility.exe sitting inside...
Other than that I hope to enjoy what this new ROM can bring over the horribly slow and nasty one that shipped on the device (when I didn't even know this place existed).
Any help much appreciated

Welcome ,
There is a sticky to follow up and also the thread already opened for any discussion. Please post in one of them.
Enjoy your stay and happy flashing .
