Hello, i have searched on this forum and haven't found a way to solve my problem:
I flashed HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V5_WWE_12.11.2008
on my hermes, and then performed a sprite Backup Recovery with system settings.
Then my Hermes booted until the HTC animation came with the sound, but then it stayed that way.
I tried to connect it via USB, but it wouldn't recognize it when i tried to reflash it, soon i tried to flash it via SD-card (putting a ROM *.nbh file on the formatted card, then naming it HERMIMG.nbh) still nothing. The phone is recognized by the computer an the bootloader shows connection via USB, but nothing works
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM 200
SPL-1.04
What should i do? Thanks for your help!
you can try a hard reset. steps on this page

thanks for your response, i will try that!
yea it's probably not flashing via SD card because your sd card is larger than 1gb.

Up to 2GB is fine, it's just that the card can't be SDHC because the bootloader won't recognise it. I suspect the reason it can't flash is because you hadn't SuperCID the device or you don't have HardSPL (evident from your SPL)!
You really should have read enough to know that HardSPL should be a prerequisite before flashing any ROM.
Check the WIKI for details (links in my sig)

I am trying to run the SD Card boot-loader with no sucess.
I have put the ******.nbh file on the root of an empty 1Gb MicroSD card, put it in the device, held down the Speech Button and switched the device on.
It very briefly says on the screen 'reading SD Card' (or something like that) then goes to the RGB screen. It does not attempt to run anything from the SD card no matter what I try.
Am I doing something wrong, or are there issues with SD cards over a certain capacity. I have tried formatting the card as both FAT, and FAT 32.
Hi,
you have to format your sd-card with an cardreader and your windows pc! please use as filesystem fat32, after the formatingprocess copy the *.nbh file on your sd-card. then insert the card in your device and enter the bootloader.
thats all, enjoy and have fun
Tried that and can not get it to work. Will try again though. Any particular block size when I format?
use standard blocksize, and you must use the correct filename for the *.nbh file!
also, has to be the correct image, not all nbh files will load off SD card

thats correct, but i think he knows that and use the correct file
flashing from card
to flash from card, CID should be unlocked.
current uspl doesn't allow to flash from card.
two solutions: imei-check or gold card with arteimg.nbh file.
regards,
what is gold card
I am trying to flash the original O2 UK ROM. The file is named Arteimg.nbh and is the correct image for the device.
I really can not get it to work, when I start the device it says on the screen that it is reading the card, but only for about half a second, is that normal?
its normal for it to probe sd card yeah, but not to ignore it hmm... might be worth going to o2 shop shrug your shoulders and say it all went pete tong... lol what i did!!

Guys, just get the device into BOOTLOADER. Connect to PC (WindowsXP) then run the O2 UpdateROMUtility.exe file. The device should flash and after 10mins or so you should have your device back.
I bricked my phone and did this. Got it back working no problems. After it works again, get it unlocked. Saves any bother in the future. www.imei-check.org

that's not what we're trying to do...
we're trying to get our device into bootloader mode and flash it using our SD card. we didn't brick our device. we just want to flash it with the SD card.

What's the point ?????
Ok before everyone asks, yes I have searched the forums about this.
While attempting to flash Pays ROM this morning, it got to 3% then threw the error "ERROR [302] : UPDATE ERROR". I have tried a soft reset and a hard reset but I can only get the phone to the WM6 screen or into the bootloader.
I have tried a few different ROMs from 2 different PC's with the same result. I have tried the HERMIMG.nbh on the SD card method but when it goes into the bootloader screen I see it flash loading for a split second then go back to the bootloader and stays there. The .nbh is from Pay's full ROM.
I am running SPL-2.10.Olipro
Any ideas? I have tried everything I could!!
Try the Official HTC ROM
Have you tried using an official ROM?. they are the most 'complete' ROM's and have all the error free software.
Woohoo it's back
Ok it is up and running again (thanks to the phone gods)
Seems it would work on the SD flash method with a 2GB sd card but worked straight away with my 1GB card.
All good now.
Lessons learnt .. keep cat away from computer while flashing ROMs!!

For what it's worth, I had this issue as well that was resolved by checking the SD card... it was formatted as FAT, not FAT32.
After the reformat, the image was seen on the card and the phone was flashed successfully.
EDIT: This was on a 1 gig SD card. The flash card formatting software I grabbed from panasonic formatted the card FAT, not FAT32
Okay first off im gana start off saying sorry im a complete newb and jsut got my first WM phone the other day i got the Verizon VX6900 and i wana upgrade to WM 6.5. Ive read over cody bear's FAQ for NFSFAN's rom several times and although im kinda scared to screw it up hopefully i wont brick my fone. my first question is i know you suppose to upgrade you radio first but especially since mine is 1.60.30 no where near 3.42.50. So can someone point me to a how to do it and do i have to get a verizon one because i saw a file to upgrade for Bell's radio and im not sure if thats the same.
Also can everyone put my fears to rest that im gana destroy my fone when i reflash it. It dosnt seem that hard im just kinda nervous.
Sorry again for being newb and making a thread there is just so much information and its hard to figure it all out without someone guiding you in the right direction
First you need to unlock your phone using the cokeman unlocker.
From there, if you have the SD card that came with your phone (the 512MB one). YOu can download a radio upgrade that changes nothing but the radio on your phone. This is a good idea as verizon can be tricky.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=389964&postcount=8
That file has the radio flash in it.
So to install it, you first make sure your phone is unlocked. Then copy the file from inside that zip to the SD CARD (note: the sd card must be formatted FAT32). Then enter bootloader mode by pressing holding down the power and camera buttons while pressing the reset button with the stylus. Do not have a USB cable plugged in. WHen the boot loader loads up it should be a tricolor screen that says COkeman unlocker or bootloader ver 2.41 or something like that. It will say serial at the bottom and after a few seconds ask you if you want to install the rom. If it asks you to confirm do what it says to confirm. IT shoudl flash then restart. When it restarts check the red text at the bottom and see if it says 3.42.50 next to r. If so you properly flashed your radio.
From there you can install ANY upgaded rom you like.
okay thanks i dont have the 512mb sd card i only have a 2gb sd card will that work?
As long as it is a regular microSD, not microSDHC. It should say so on the card. Mine 8GB card says microSDHC on the card itself. More than likely the card is standard SD (as I think SDHC doesn't start until 4GB).
So the requirements for flashing from the card are:
I think you need to have the device unlocked
microSD Card (NOT microSDHC)
Card has to be formatted FAT32
The file must be named VOGUIMG.nbh
No USB cables plugged in.
ok so im getting a little nervous i unlocked it and then flashed the radio update and it installed and says update complete update success but its not restarting do i have to restart it. did i just brick my phone?
Hard reset it yourself.
well i managed to get it to work and installed NFSFANs 6.5 rom and it runs amazing. i installed the vzw mms cab but i still cant get my MMS to work

Sorry, I'm another noob when it comes to flashing roms as well. Once you flash from the microsd, will the new rom be compatible with a microsdhc after its upgraded? Or can I only use Microsd from here on out??
Thanks for the help.
No problem. The only time you NEED a standard microsd card is when you are flashing a file to the device. To be exact, when you are upgrading the radio as all of the ones I have seen load from the microSD card, otherwise all of the custom roms can be upgraded over USB. The reason you need a standard microSD card to flash from the SD Card is that microSDHC requires a specific driver to be loaded and at the bootloader point that driver has not been loaded. This means at the boot loader point, the port can only funciton as a microSD port. Once the OS has loaded, the driver has been loaded as well, therefore it can read both times.
I just got a used hermes 100. Finally got it to connect with the usb running windows 7.
Checked bootloader and had this:
ipl-1.03
spl-1.11
Ran HardSPL v7. Bootloader said ipl-sspl by des spl 1.09.ds
Then I got the 260 error
Should I run HardSPL v9? and see if that works?
No, if you have an sd card then use the SD card method described on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread. The SD card MUST be 2Gb or less and formatted FAT32...
Easiest way of flashing roms too....
You have sspl.exe running. If you can reset into windows then follow all instructions to the letter. If the bootloader says SPL - !.09 desi then you can insert the sd card and reset into bootloader.
Cheers...
thanks
Thanks I got it. I guess I'll have to do everything using the SD method.
Pheww,
I will try to explain what happened, but basically I am not able to boot in recovery, I mean I can boot in bootloader but if I select recovery and got the red triangle image if I connect via the usb amd try recovery-windows.bat from PC nothing happens and the computer says Qualcomm cdma Technologies MSM drivers are missing.
Also, I successfully loaded RUU rom and installed it from fastboot (copying as PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card) and that is the only thing I can run now on my phone.
I was hoping, once I load RUU that I will be able to repeat routing procedure etc, but now it reports Removed SD Card. I have reformatted card, checked another 2 cards, as well as mine card in another phone (Wildfire). My SD card works in another phone, but none of the cards works in Desire.
If I connect phone via USB computer does not recognizes it, it still searches for Qualcomm cdma Technologies MSM drivers, HTC Sync doesn't see it as well.
And yet another symptom is that: if the phone is off and usb plugged it turns on immediately and stuck in bootloop.
So what is your goal?
[Sig] dId you know? If you Insert a Coin on your Desire, then it levels up to HD, Z or S :[/Sig] !!!! 10 post limit for off topic NOW!!!!
My goal?
Final one is to enable my phone to boot in recovery and to restrore nandorid backup I have.
But firstly I need to enable SD card, or to resolve Qualcomm cdma Technologies MSM issue....

OK I'd like someone else to check my thinking, but wouldn't it work to:
insert wiped SD (FAT32 format)
flash the recovery (same version you made your nandroid in)
Wipe all / factory reset
Restore nandroid
If you are s-off you can flash recovery via fastboot - if s-on it's via rom manager, clear guide for both here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
But the problem is that it won't recognize any SD in it. It reports SD Card Removed, although SD card is inserted

Hmm sorry missed that in your original post.
Now, I'm unsure...
As much as I noted it is able to recognize SD while in fastboot mode since it installed RUU ROM copied on sd card as PB99IMG.zip file, but when the OS is loaded, it not recognizes SD card at all

On the other hand... maybe this is a USB brick?

It is indeed most probably USB brick, I have almost all its symptoms... I'll study the thread you linked to see if I can resolve anything. Thanks!
