Hi there, i got hold of a Hermes yesterday and since that moment i've been trying to flash it to a decent wm6.1 rom.
but i ran in some problems.. first i flashed HardSPL 7. then i flashed the radio to 1.4x and even 1.5x and some roms. the last ROM i tried is the latest TNT.
but for some reason i keep getting crashes, missing shortcut links and when i reboot at that moment it keeps stuck at the bootscreen picture. this happened serveral times now and its getting on my nerves..
i already used MTTY with the info 8 command. and it only returned some "Reversed" blocks, none were bad.
Can someone please tell me if i am doing something wrong? or how i can solve the issue?
i already tried leaving it be for 5 minutes, remove battery, and did like 30 hard-resets already..!
help?
happened to me once
have you done a manual hard reset? at least i think thats what its called. where you hold both soft keys(ones above start/ok) and press the button in with your stylus all at one time till the white reset screen comes up..then just press R and SPACE on the keyboard.
now once it reloads and is finally done...flash vg3's at&t wm6 rom..once its all done flash your 6.1 rom of your liking..
its something to do with the memory i dunno but i just flash vg3's at&t wm6 rom every single time before i flash to another 6.1 rom and i've never had that happen to me again and trust me it happened a lot before..it never happens now
Yes i did do the hard-reset manually.
i will try the vg3's rom first thing tommorow.

Hello,
I finally had the nerve to flash to Black 2.5 with the latest hard spl. The issue I have had is when I do a soft reset, I would see the AT&T logo and it would just sit there. Sometimes I would have to soft reset it multiple times before it shows the Black 2.5 Splash Screen.
Any ideas? Bad flash? should I reflash?
Thanks!
Umm.. i guess reflash, i don't have this problem.
Well actually i did. I would soft reset and it'd get stuck in the beginning so i'd soft reset again then in get stuck in bootloader mode. I was on the road and was panicking. So i unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it'd go straight to bootloader. Did this several times and gave up. Got home ready to reflash my device but something came up, So i just plugged it into the charger, took care of my business, came back 25 min later (still in bootloader) soft reset and it was back to normal. So my problem was low power.

had the same problem several times: startup takes about 3 minutes and after that my device is incredibly slow...
softreset again (and again sometimes) and the problems are gone.
did a hard-reset en restore, but this issue occurred again a few times.
now installed LVSW (23-04-2007) for a while to see if it's ROM related (I think is is). but Black still is my favorite...

This can be caused by allsorts of things, most likely a 3rd party app causing problems on startup.
What have you got installed?
The only app I have installed the latest version of Dashboard from snoopsoft and iLauncher that might affect startup. However, I had those installed with previous WM6 releases with no apparent issues.
Hi!
I had a quit similar problem. It was gone after cleaning up the root of my microsd. After moving the stuff into folders this behavior disappear.
It looks like if there are a lot of files in the root, I have problems booting up, and I have to softreset several times till it comes back to normal. Just my experience....
HI all,
I'm having some fun and games with my Orbit today.
I previously had an old version of black & Blue on there. SO today decided to update to have a go with some manilla based ROMS.
First I Tried YuE_v11.3_3.15.20755_Lite_M2D_WWE
Which seemed to work ok but after a while applications were being very slow.
So then I tried to reflash oop, but that seemed to fail.
I Tried to flash love, but it wasn't ever getting to the progress indicator on flashing, so did an SD flash of YuE which worked.
So then tried to flash Love from that minimal YUE and the device is being really slow, like gets to the calibration and takes about 5 mins to swap between screens.
What's the best way to totally clear down the rom and start again on this?
Thanks
I've now flashed the Official UK O2 WM6 ROM and still having problems. Flashed succesfully, but when it boots up, it just sits on the "Windows Mobile" screen and beeps a bit
Current State after O2 flash :
IPL : 3.04.0001
SPL : 3.04.0000
GSM : 03.06.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Hard reset the device, and while you're in the config wizard, plug in your device and flash to new rom. That way it's completely formatted and you'll have a fresh new install... hope it works mate
I did a hard reset, still no joy, hangs on the welcome to windows screen
I can access the Bootloader, but can't find a way to flash a rom from there, all seem to want it done once you've made an activesync connetion
flash YUE back via SD card flashing
I already tried that, flashes fine, but becomes unresponsive soon after
have tried flashing O2 WM5 + WM6 from SD, but still no joy.
It just flashes, loads up WM(5/6) then hangs there, beeping sometimes. Pressing the green button brings up the calibration screen. I sometimes see bits of apps, today screen, but that's about it, it's generally unresponsive.
Any suggestions?

A little update incase someone can help?
I left the battery out of the phone all night last night, and this morning the phone worked great.. for about 2 hours, then it froze. I hard reset, and it's back to freezing after OS loading now
What's up if you remove your MicroSD card ?
That makes no diff, i've tried flashing with + without the SD card (it's currently out), flashing from windows + flashing from microSD, all ends up the same way, with an unresponsive device once the OS boots.
2 days ago i was playing with my touch diamond and it held when i switched on WIFI (wifi was working fone for a year now). When i rebooted the phone froze at the screen where Touch Diamond is written and at bottom right some info regarding ROM/Radio/SPL etc (R 1.09.25.23 G 52.51.25.26H D 2.03.00.00).
Tried many times but couldn't boot it . Just when i was about to get hopeless it started booting if i hold volume down, enter and press reset pin on the screen still taking too long. As i had stock HTC ROM so i upgraded it to the latest to see if it solves the problem. After upgrade phone would still boot randomly by trying the Reset pin and the mentioned button but after a few trys that also stopped working.
Now the phone is stuck on the same black screen, i can only resintall the latest Rom and All the way mentioned on the forums dont work for me i have tried signed unsiged soft and hard spl or direct Custom ROM upgrades but nothing goes beyond 0 %.
All the SPL upgrade articles require to copy jump spl. exe to the phone but i can do that as i am unable to create a Active Sync relationship (Eventhough i have tried upgrade by manually going into the tri color screen by holding volume down button while booting it).
The Hard Reset option allows me to hard reset but has no effect on the phone's condition.
anybody who could help me out here?
This is a list of events that I have gone through today. I received a new charger because the old one I had became defective & was charging my phone up & then it would go back down to 0% & then shut off & it would end up in a problem where the phone would not turn on unless I pulled out the battery while the AC was in & then it was able to charge but still it would turn on, on its own to drain the battery when off & this was very frustrating. The charger I have now works but the device acts strange over the last few months doing a task29 & flashing the first ROM after would make that ROM not work & then I had to flash a totally different ROM to make it work. I was using Android & it had died a few times & also I experienced the same thing I did when it would charge up & go back down to 0%. please read below:
I got my new charger today & at 62% of charge I decided to flash to a custom ROM via mem card again well the ROM was a success but when pulling battery out to restart it didnt want to work. So I went to flash again in bootloader by memory card it shut off on me in the middle & restarted into bootloader again & shut off again right away. I did a task29 it worked got it out of bootloader & now the orange led flashes off & on when its off & now ive gotten that to stop. What exactly is wrong with this device?
it was @ 73% and finally setup a ROM NRGY however it ended up shutting off on its self & going into a power boot loop constantly restarting until that ROM can no longer start & now its stuck on the boot screen w/ its info.
I flashed the stock SPL on USB now im going to try to flash the carriers ROM back.
Stock SPL = Successful!
2nd Touch Pro 2 ROM Version Flash = Successful!
Its working for now. Battery is @ 80%
AHH! After charging to 100% idk what it did but when I went into the other room to check out its all possessed.
I have a black screen w/ white text that says:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.
Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
IDK how this happened.
When I hit any key it didnt do anything it was stuck until I did a battery pull. Then I restarted the device it was stuck at the boot screen w/ its red info. It erased the entire ROM. Then I tried to do recover mode & it did nothing. I tried to flash the stock ROM again & no results & then again & still no results. I think its now not accepting the ROM at all since from: in the ROM update utility is blank.
Now it decides to get past the boot screen but then it malfunctions again & restarts itself & it tries to setup a 2nd time then after it does & its on sense home for a couple of mins it reboots twice & now its stuck on the boot screen again.
Things that I can think of.
- Isn't your batterie just broken? You will break your batteries when you deplete them completely. Maybe try a new batterie, because you said that you let it die for a few times. It could be that this is causing your problems.
- Did you flash true usb when you were in the bootloader? Give that a try, because I believe that the customruu performs some sort of checks. Maybe this is nonsens, but you can try it.
The battery was fully charged & it was working better than before.
I reflashed the Stock SPL to flash the carriers ROM back & that worked but at anytime it just rebooted for whatever reason to make it so the ROM was unusable at any time I would reboot it would decide to actually go past it seldom. I experienced that at one point oddly it went into setup n it did it again after a while its just acting strange.
If you're back to stock SPL and stock ROM, can't you just send it back for a warranty replacement ?
IDK how old it is. I bought it brand new from ebay.

No warranty bro...
You can try but no warranty 9/10 times.
What ROM are you using? I used to have that issue with my betas.
It wld destroy itself after softreset and I would have to reflash.
Try to flash, turn off right after it boots, turn on and see how that works for ya.
Rep had told me I could get it replaced & they know I bought from ebay. But I havent called them on this yet.
It doesnt work. It usually doesnt go past the boot screen. Flashing does nothing to help it. Whenever it feels like it it may have to stay on for a few mins to go into setup but most of the time it will stay there & reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot each time its a different # of times & it will reset itself at anytime. Ive even had bootloader shut off on me & restart itself during flashing its a pain. I had another issue I didnt mention my device on any custom ROM when I had 0.85 olinex SPL the device would just freeze & not respond every time. Now this is a different situation. I am back of SPL 0.87 which is the default. I flashed the entire carrier ROM which 0.79 was rewritten w/ 0.87 & that was successful but its still rebooting & causing fatal problems including the black screen w/ white text.
UPDATE: I just walked into the kitchen. Somehow the device turned on by itself & now its sitting on the sense home screen. I know its not fixed but idk why it would turn itself on.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing task 29 1st... Might be because when you flash remnants of the older OS are still there causing trouble. Remember though, you need to have Hard SPLed it 1st....
I got so frustrated I just got done calling T-Mobile Tech Support & they are going to ship me a replacement.

I thought I would reply to you.
This is what started my problems is when I did a task 29 my device was acting funny afterwards. I did it again about a month later cuz I flashed way too much & it kept getting worse. But Task29 didnt help this time its what caused me to have to flash 2 different ROMs cuz the first one I flash after doesnt work.
I received the battery & it didnt do anything.
I'm still waiting on the replacement to come.
I installed a rom/hardspl and new radio yesterday, didn't like the rom so much for slowing sometimes, wanted to switch to another rom, saw the Eto.Y 2.4 sense 2.5 and tried to install (Didn't read that I have to change radio aswell), was installing well, though I didn't understand about the task29 thingy, still kept pressing next, till the download bar, I went to DC, came and found my phone soft reset, and finished the instalation, but the problem is, my phone freezes on the startup picture that says "TOUCH diamond"
Please help me solving this problem ASP!
Nvm, solved it, close this.
