Record of ROM upgrade ?? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Does anyone know if it is possible to tell if a Hermes device has had a ROM upgrade to a cooked version of WM6 at some point in its life, and has subsequently been down-graded back to the original WM5?
Would there be some permanent record of the upgrade, or would any such record have been deleted when the down-grade back to WM5 occurred?
Thanks.

I think that servicemen can only find out about device flashing history by cluess like unofficial bootloader (Olipro's), or higher version bootloader than originally installed and SuperCID. There should not be a possibility to track how many times a device has been flashed.

Problem Rom Update

Please help me,
I've tried a rom update. But uring the update my phone
stopped.
All I know see is a screen with red/green/blue and white boxes. On the screen it says Herm100
My phones does not respond to soft/hard reset. Also if I want to sync it, it does not work.
Can anybody help me fix my phones? All ideas welcome!
Probably you've flashed wrong or broken ROM image. Fortunately bootloader is still alive, so you can easily reflash a correct ROM.
thnx,
but was is the correct rom then?
I've already tried to flash a new Rom but I cannot connect to Active Sync so is gives a error.
I've included a picture of my phone.
The text on the phone is:
Herm100
1PL-1.00
HERM100 MFG
SPL-1.01
At the bottom is says serial.
Could you please provide me with the correct Rom then?
Please correct me if im wrong but is that not a picture of a HTC Hermes??? I didnt even think it had been released yet, let alone any ROM updates?
Whatever it is, it ain't a universal
The hermes looks slightly different from the pix he posted:

well in your first post you said you were trying to do a ROM update, which file were you using to update...was it actually for your device? at what point did the update stop?
the friend from whom I bought said I should do Rom update
So I tried the update of the Universal.

Not gonna work. You need the rom for your phone, which AFAIK hasn't been released yet.

Agreed. Which means you will now probably have to wait until the device is fully released so you can download the proper update and get it back up and running again
Considering that a prerelease of the HTC Star100 fetched 1700 dollars on ebay recently, I think you might have missed a business opportunity by flashing the wrong rom
http://cgi.ebay.com/Qtek-8500-SMART...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
oww.. but can't get the right Rom from my friend who's phone is working? in order words can I download his Rom?
When its possible than how do I do this?
eventually when putting the rom on my telephone, what a about the active sync connection that doesn't established?
which ROM did u use to update? Did u take from xda FTP??
iep, rom upgrades are available for your Hermes:

Also some useful information if your phone is still a brick:

noob i'm afraid.

I'm wanting to get WM6.1 on my Orange (UK) SPV M3100, so i'm following the instructions at http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
My question is:
There appears to be hundreds of roms to download.
Which one should I download?
Many thanks,
Ian.

NOT on topic or helpfull, better off NOT posting at all sir. We were all noobs once.
@djsky123, take some time to read through the threads in this forum and familiarise yourself with the ROMs currently alive....CRCs, PDAcorner and MRH seem to be the current ROMs in progress..
I think CRC's ROM is probably the best in existence...
I might have a little bit of bias though
Seriously though, have a read through what is included on the ROMs and see what fits your personal tastes...
Just make sure you flash your device with HardSPL first to prevent future tears...

Well, yeah... i took the plunge and did your 6.1 release 11.2 (hope you don't mind).
Seems good so far. - The wife's asking when my grandad died though.. took a bit of explaining why I had someone elses on my phone...
Thanks for welcoming me, and I'm sure i'll be on here over the coming months.

On the first few pages of this whole list there is a kitchen to make your own splash screen, or even some have posted stock screens that some people pulled out, enjoy xda, it's the coolest place for your hermes.

Can I Just ask, now that i've flashed my hermes with a new rom, is it now un-locked so that I can insert sim cards from other networks in it? I was on orange UK but want to use an O2 sim in there at some point.
Cheers.

Dear Ian,
I cannot tell which ROM to flash because it depends on MANY things... Nevertheless i can tell you a few things thay will help you...
1. Read the Flashers BIBLE i.e. the WIKI.
2. Never, but NEVER mess or tamper with our PDA unless you are sure of what you'r doing BEFORE you do it. If your are not sure ask before.
3. Never pay attention to flames or stupid answers. You will get quite a few over here...
4. I was oncve a noob and i know how it feels to e stepingon muddy watters.
5. If you feel you get no positive answer to your questions, PM me at will and i will try to help.
Cheers, welcoe and good luck
no you need to run an unlocker not flash the radio you can get the unlocker for the hermes from here if its a g3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
first of all do Hardspl, this will unlock your device too.
remember - when you flash any official rom you automaticaly erase hardspl. suggest you to try some pdaviet roms, for noob they are very nice. but if you need stability - try pda corner e.t.c. by the way - Im using spv too

I did HardSPL, so it should be unlocked I guess.
One issue i've got with CRC's 6.1 rom is that when I get an answerphone message, it only comes through as a text message showing random characters. Can this be fixed somehow?

When you get to a ROM-specific issue, it is best to post in the specific thread for that ROM (helps keep the forums organized and helps you get an answer more quickly)

6.2 is oldd.. the newest version is 11.2, maybe you should try flashing that and seeing if it is fixed.
If it keeps on, try asking in the 11.2 thread.

Original, up-to-date Diamond Rom

Heey people,
could someone please tell me where to get the latest official rom from HTC?
Cus i have a branded version of the Diamond, so i cant download it from their site.
I hope one of you knows where to get that latest version without having to use the serialnumber of my phone, because that serial number doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I need to apologize because I didn't see this post was on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910.
But 1,93 isn't really that up to date, is this the only post containing original roms that you guys know off, because i've used the search function a billion times by now, with a dictionary full of keywords, but i haven't found anything higher than 1,93.
Thanks in Advance!

although in all honesty apart from that one thread i haven't searched for the offical rom yet, just starting to get fed up of the little things that don't work that you rarely use in custom roms

due to there is no official 2.2 from htc you must flash a cooked rom. Within the cooked rom you'll find the flashing procedure.

I do agree that you really should read at least some information in the sticky threads before asking such a basic question, but i took the time below anyway, but afterwards please let those sticky's answer your questions
A cooked ROM is either a freshly compiled version of android, or a port. Then there are numerous advantages and addons, the common one is that you always have root-acces, basically "administrative" access to things that stock-roms try to keep you away from.
Cooked roms was especially great some time ago, when android didn't provide tethering support (internet sharing), paid apps was more limited, hardware on phones was more restricted and with cooked roms you could overclock the cpu, move applications to your sdcard and have a linux-kernel that left you with more available RAM.
Then there's often other hacks and cooked roms are almost always faster than stock-roms.
The only disadvantages is that by messing with these kinda things you void your garantuie. Most of the time, rooting is safe and tested before published, but if youre flashing a newe radio-version or spl (a separate part, not the actual ROM) there is a risk for "brick" leaving your phone unusable in some case.
That said, if you experience some kind of hardware issue that you know isnt related to the ROM, you can "unroot" your device, basically put back the original rom so that it doesnt appear modified at the repair center.
Desire is very easy to root, a simple script you run on your computer updates your stock rom with a rooted one, leaving your settings and all as it was, but with root acces and the posibility so change rom if you like
I would suggest, respectfully, that if the OP does not know what a cooked rom is, or that there is no official 2.2 as of yet, that perhaps trying to root may not be something they do until they've read up on it a lot more.

hello?? experts help!!
I posted andanswer and there is also a link posted to a FAQ for flashing. What else do you want?
faq is talking about flashing custom roms and hardspl. but thats not what i want, i just want to update to the oficial last rom, from official old rom. But as i unlocked it by imei code not hardspl.
I dont wanna have a phone locked for att again. As i said 3 diferent forums and only u gave me an answer, i just wanna be sure
I suspect most people see you got an answer and move on. If you flash the new ROM the worst thing that happens is you have to unlock again, but the new ROM should not lock the phone
