can't seem to get this upgrade to work. the updater stops at about 28 percent for me with an error (286? i think) and after that i'm stuck in bootloader. Every time after that, the updater wont even start.. (a different error).
i can flash successfully a cooked ROM, but can't get the official one to work. Could it be a conflict with Des' crash-proof SPL? That's the only thing i can think of at this point..
To me said invalid device id, and got stuck on the boot loader
try back to any old offical ROM
and then copy SSPL to PDA and run it on PDA
when bootloader appear, run WM6 offical updater
I got same problem too and get fix
good luck
update: since i managed to flash PDAVIET's rom, i thought i'd just try going back to Olipro's hard-spl and see what happens.. So i flashed it, entered bootloader and ran the WM6 update again, and SUCCESS!!
very strange though.. anyone have some thoughts as to why it wouldn't work under Des', or if this is just coincidence?
It installs a new bootloader that can't be hacked by the previous hacks I think.... I'm stuck in it too...

Hi racerx,
I've encountered the same problem as your, stuck at 28% ERROR [286] while flashing, and couldn't go over it even after recovery process following the instruction.
Could you please explain a bit more details about how to go back to Olipro's hard-spl and enter into bootloader?
Thanks, eager to flash the new ROM...
Well I was able to get out of it by running Pof's CID RUU Unlocker, however, it errors after 7%, and resets. It gets past the bootloader, however, it hardreset the phone...eh.
IT happened to me too - Update Error.
So should i go back to Official WM5 then update to WM6 (i had AX3L installed before and i just had to reflash back to AX3L coz of the error from WM6).
Kinda scared me.....LoL
well, to start with i had Des' Crash-Proof SPL on my phone... so after the updater hung at 28%, i remained in Des' bootloader. I then ran the RUU for pdaviet's ROM, which flashed successfully. After that was on and my trinity was up and running, i flashed Olipro's hard-spl. Then manually put it in bootloader again, and flashed the official ROM.
Let me say this, though. At this point, i think you should be content to get your device out of bootloader mode. This Dopod WM6 doesn't have so much to be desired in it compared to cooked ROM's on this forum, plus your bootloader will be stuck at version 3.xxxx which i don't know if anyone is sure how to deal with yet. I'm regretting flashing mine to official version. Should have waited for a chef to pack it up for me.
what does your bootloader say?
You need to actually have a device that this release is supported by. It flashes a new SPL but you can flash Olipros HARD SPL 1.20 straight over that once WM6 has flashed.
It replaces any HARD SPL before flashing, probably to ensure only official devices get this update. Those having issues are probably out of this.
The official rom is fine, not as finished or customised as some chef ones, but good none the less. Also, the new 3.0??? SPL is no issue at all and easily removed once flashed.
yeah saw your post on the other thread.. thanks for the tip! talk about a stressful morning haha..
i was waiting for this ROM cause my activesync has mysteriously stopped working for a couple of weeks. so i was going to flash and take it to the service center. The miracle of it, was after my device hung and i reflashed pdaviet's rom, my activesync mysteriously works now even though i reflashed a million times before trying to get it going haha..
new spl is needed for flashing new radio rom with cid locked device.
So that's why RUU reflashes SPL at first.
U could simply reflash HArd spl back by using sspl
mUn, when can we expect your much anticipated "Indigo" rom using this offical WM6 base??
Genius! thanks for the tip mun...
all i can say is one word....
INDIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I also got Invalid vendor ID when I tried to flash for the first time. But it flashed just fine after I put it into bootloader mode. Give it a try..
Flashed my mine in a breeze from LSVW version 27/05/07.

My T-Mobile Vario 2 (UK) is being returned to me next week, and it's running an ancient WM5 rom + bootloader and radio! I've decided to get rid of the old ROM and flash WM6 Black Satin as well as updating my radio to 1.48. Now it's my first ever time flashing the phone. So I have a few questions (I have read through a lot of posts but I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right)
1) If I upgrade my phones radio to 1.48 before I flash WM6, will the 1.48 work in the UK with WM5? And will the 1.48 radio work with the new Black Satin due to be released?
2) Apart from updating my phones O/S to WM6 Black Satin, my phones radio to 1.48 are the any other parts of my phone I should be updating? Do I need to update my bootloader before upgrading the radio and OS?
P.S When I receive the phone back I'll be able to tell you the radio, O/S and bootloader version the phones using.
the answer to all of the above questions is yes.
before flashing anything, you need to first upgrade your SPL to Olipro's HardSPL. read MrVanx's guides here.
The best thing to do is to read through the wiki and various threads BEFORE doing any updates on the device.
the BARE MINIMUM you should do first is to Update to HardSPL v7
Updating the radio has no effects on updating ROMs etc... so by all means go for it with the Radio update...AFTER you have installed HardSPL though.
At the moment black satin is still not released...the version being downloaded by users has issues which the author (JasJamming) has acknowledged, I recommend AGAINST downloading this version until i have updated the Black Satin thread with the new links to the re-released version once it is fixed. Even though users are reporting no errors the ROM is still not fully functional so DO NOT download it.
You can always try Black Majik....which is also VERY good.

I forgot to mention HARDSPL. I've been looking through the Wiki etc which is why I now feel confident I can do it. So just to reconfirm, when flashing I should do the following in order:
1) Backup (rom, documents etc)
2) Install HardSPL
3) Update radio
4) Update to WM6 Black Satin (when released)
Satin's ETA is unknown due to unfortunate circumstances beyond JJs control.
I am still using Majik and would thoroughly recommend it in the mean time.
OMG my phones back!! YAY! Right here's my software currently on it:
Bootloader: HERM300 IPL-1.01 SPL-1.11
ROM Version: 1.21.110.3
ROM Date: 06/16/06
Radio Version 1.05.05.00
Protocol Version 32.36.7010.04H
Anything else that can be upgraded apart from Radio, WM6 and hardSPL? I assume hardSPL is the latest version of the bootloadeR?
HardSPL v7 is an "alternative" bootloader yes, an "insurance policy" if you like against bricking your phone. In case something goes wrong, ESPECIALLY with the RADIO flashing, you can re-vive your phone into working condition.
If you have normal SPL on your phone and flashing is interrupted for example, you will have to return your brick to the service center again.
So FIRST do HardSPL and THEN breathe
edit: and by the way Majik is *ABSOLUTELY* excellent. I've had it since day 1 of its release and I never had to soft-reset, wait or otherwise be unhappy with my phone. Haven't tried radio 1.48 yet, but will sometime soon.
Another option is to flash one of the "official" wm6 roms that are floating around this forum.

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

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!

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
i have been dealing with the same problem for 4.5 hours finally with the help of wiki and pof 's posts i managed to unbrick radio.
first of all i tried almost evceryting. i finally succeed by reseting radio sector. i used mtty to gel into hermes and used commands of one of pof's posts for erasing radio sector.
i dont remember the link but google xda for it. then i flashed tweaked version wich is inclueded in unlocker by pof i aborted the operation in unlocking phase then installed hardspl7
i can use my phone now radio version is 1.10 sth but i didnt tried to install newer radio ( too tired :=) )
i hope it is usefull if anything not clear PM me or write here....
PS:Many many thanx to pof...

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?
I have Orange branded spv m700 and have unlocked and supercid'd the device using pof's tool. I then added HardSpl (Olipro 1.20). All appear to have loaded fine - phone is unlocked and Olipro shows up when put into bootloader.
So, the problem - every time I flash a cooked ROM (Ausdim, NiAx, FiNixNover...?) it won't boot past the first screen. I can rescue the situation by putting device into bootloader and flashing the official WM6 ROM (no radio, no ipl....) and it boots up just fine.
Can anybody help or at least point me in the direction of some good advice?
hmm... odd... can you list step by step what your procedure is for flashing the ROMs
I've done lots of devices - old XDA2i, SPVM600, wifes SPV M700 (unlocked, hard spl etc and flashed away!
This particular device shows IPL 0.50 & SPL 1.20 Olipro. It is unlocked (have o2 sim working in it), and should be SuperCid (I checked the box and radio shows as 1.16.00.00 - pof's patch I believe?). I also re-run HardSpl and Pof's unlock/supercid patch just in case it hadn't flashed properly.
I generally just download ROM and flash via RUU. Occasionally I get the device not responding error so I just re-run RUU from the bootloader screen.
Have tried WM 6.1 and 6.0 cooked roms but all show initial boot screen (numbers along bottom) next screen and then frozen, have waited and waited and nothing. Also, it would not flash back to Mozzers WM5 Orange UK ROM - same symptoms. I thought it was bricked, but the Dopod WM6 flashed perfectly.
Hope that helps - thanks for looking into my problem.
anybody please? por favor........
hmm.. i remember someone having a similar problem but it was some time ago..
two things to try just in case...
1) i'd manually go to bootloader (hard-spl) before flashing
2) Have you tried to flash from SD card? this method seems to provide less problems..
let me know how it goes..
A degree of success - managed to flash WM6 AX3L. All seems to be working. As I recall this is very similar to the official ROM and I used to use it last year because it is very stable. Think I moved on because of the missing email accounts problem. Will happily keep it if I can sort the email problem out. Never really had much fun with the hard reset after loading method - is there another/better way? Just wondering.
Also, now I have a "cooked" rom loaded perhaps it will stop being so sensitive.....!!
How strange! Have just flashed Akeo's new Diamond port ROM and no problems. Not only that, the ROM is FAB!!!
i flashed wm6.1 tnt to my hermes a few days ago and it worked like a charm, for a week atleast, till yesterday when it started delaying sending text messages, since texting is what i do all the time, it got pretty irritating, i thought it might be congestion from my service provider so i called em up and lodged a complaint, however when i shifted my sim to a nokia the messages started going fine, now thinking it might be a rom problem i flashed the official htc 6.0 rom but it had the same problem and then i downloaded crc_r11 rom which is the best one ive had as yet, it worked fine for about half a day and now its started giving me the error, 'text message cannot be sent' and that too after like a minute or two of trying to send it, shifting the sim to another phone fixes the problem... does anyone know a solution to this? my ipl is 1.04 and spl is 1.40 olipro
right now im downgrading to wm5 to see if that fixes the problem but i really loved crc v11
could this be a radio rom problem?
Yes. what radio are you using?
best practice is to flash with your carrier's shipped rom, and then upgrade/downgrade radio and then flash with crc's which I love too!
guess what. i just went into device information to check which radio rom version i have and.... its all blank! no rom version no radio rom version no protocol version no rom date! in the next window that has information on memory and colours etc theres a load of random characters. i mean nothing readable. and in the outgoing and incoming call timer fields it says 'unknown'
whats going on :s
i just hard reset my device
got this
radio version
1.48.00.10
See how you get on with your Radio showing up now. If you want to change make sure you follow the guidlines in the WIKI as upgrading the Radio is the most dangerous thing you do with your phone. (unless you take it high board diving with you... )
which radio rom version shud i use then in your opinion?
i just downgraded my phone to the stock vodafone rom that it came with and the radio rom version is 1.32.00 however the wm6.1 roms are 1.48 as i told u before, shud i install them new windows and then downgrade the radio rom?
i tried what zocster said, flashing vodafones wm5 rom downgraded my radio rom to 1.32 and then i upgraded to crc 11 and the radio rom stayed the same so all systems go till now
thanks guys!
