New to upgrading on Hermes

Hi, im new to upgrading on hermes but not wizard, switched from wizard to hermes.
i could read all tutoria;;s and stuff but..just dnt want to...yet.
so, need to know some basic things like..
its gonna be an untouched phone, (windows mobile 5, cid&sim locked)
do i need to CID Unlock my phone? (probably yes)
do i need to find a stable Radio version...like the wizard?
if i do, can u recommend one?
and what else do i need to know?
thanks.

i think u just take some times to search in this forum the way to flashing your rom. (sorry, bad english..)

you dont have to read all the tutorials..
you just need to read the wiki...
as for not reading and just asking its abit lazy and frowned upon but:
you need to sim/cid unlock,
hardspl
flashing radio can be very dangerous on the hermes so read the wiki..
i recommend 1.47.30.10
all information can be found on the board or wiki so get reading before posting in future its alot easier.

I would stick with the orginal radio came with the phone. It usually dont make much difference to me where i live! Also I recommend flashing radio if you have to using SD card method.
Always read wiki, and good luck flashing!

What the man said, excelent advice. Use POF unlocker to sim unlock your phone and also make it SuperCID, that way you can use the MicroSD card method with any ROM (NBH).

Links are broken? Help?

So I already upgraded to WM6 on my 8525 a while ago (I don't remember at all how I did it or which firmware I used). I want to use the 5.0.2 diamond.. is there anything special I need to do to downgrade first? I'm a little lost... and the links for the first sticky are a no go... anyone have any easy info so I don't have to get forever lost wading through endless posts :|

Download the ZIP file, extract it, and run the EXE in the extracted location. Why do you think you need to downgrade first?

Too used to hacking my psp I guess lol

So I have a Ruu_signed.nbh and a RUUWrapper.exe which gives me an application error when attempting to run in xp. Do I need to throw these on an SD card (I don't have one), the files are too big to fit directly on the device.
I feel as if I'm missing something blatantly simple

You probably don't have the .NET Framework installed. I believe version 2.0 is required.

Ahh, thank you.
I think one last questions, I hit auto detect for my version of SPL. it says "this is 1.11 retail, you are recommended to use SSPL, would you like to?" I hit yes, then I hit next, then it says "please be aware that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and you must have 1.11 Hard SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned files"
was there a pop-up I missed for the install of the 1.11 SPL? Or am I having difficulty reading this correctly

Ooh, I guess you don't have HardSPL installed. It's highly recommended that you flash it before flashing anything else. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 for more info on that and, after flashing HardSPL, you should be OK flashing OS ROMs.

Ahhh... well thank you much, I have everything up and running now *relaxes*. I appreciate the speedy responses

No prob And I would ask that you comment in the MaRaHoX Diamond thread regarding how well the ROM works for you, after using it for a bit.

will do, especially after I find and install a cab for windows live on it (need messenger)

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.

thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.

hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.

one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks

Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

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

i have a new htc from t mobile i bought it from craigslist and i was proced to hard spl by this version Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip then i have a message that mean theflashage is done then i make a update to Rhodium_AF|HTC Sense 2.5|LEO 1.43 when it finish the phone doesnt work its stoped at the white screen and stays there im too upsed help me plssss
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

0.79.0000 stock SPL
i have this number in tricolor that mean my device is Relocker bcuz i m was make it by RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip so now the phone dosnt accdpte flashage by Rhodium-HardSPL_V1_20R2_185HSPL.zip

have you tried reflash HardSPL_v1_20R_185HSPL yet?

It also might helps you guys...
I have managed a Full Package of Hard-Spl Oilnex that WORKS!
Download the Package here...
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.

[Q] - Rom flashing help needed

I'm a new diamond (DIAM100) user and i'm having so many doubts about flashing a new custom ROM and all related to HardSPL and stuff.
This is my 3rd PPC and i've been flashing custom rom's for years in my Polaris (i've even cooked some myself) and it was very simple.
Now for Diamond, there's so many HardSpls, each with so many pros and cons that it's so very confusing. I've been reeding this forum for a week and i haven's still cleared up my mind.
So i would appreciate a little help from more experienced users.
Here's the deal: My Diamond (my father in law gave it to me as he doesn't use it any more and my Polaris has become very instable) shows this at bootloader:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-2.03.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
It has the last oficial portuguese rom (2.03) and radio 1.09.
In the forum i've found olinex's SPL but its only 1.93. - (Q1) Can i flash this SPL and so unlock the device, flash a new custom rom and then flash back the original 2.03 SPL, thus locking it again?
(Q2) To update the radio to a new version is there any special requirments?
(Q3) Would aprecciate if any diamond experienced user posted some help on How-To upgrade my diamond based on his self experience and point me to the right tools.
TIA

Lets start...
Okay. So flashing a Diamond for the first time with a new HSPL and ROM is pretty confusing at start. But when you get the hang of it, you would know this cudnt have been easier...
This tutorial is based on my experience and on actual procedure. Still, you can take a look around this tutorial as well. Click here
This tutorial is divided in 3 main parts.
1. Flashing the HSPL 1.93
HSPL 1.93 is by far the best HSPL you will ever get. Most of the ROM chefs in their prerequisite have also recommended HSPL 1.93. If you find this hard to believe, see for yourself in the Diamond ROM development section.
Okay. So download is HERE For details abt this HSPL read from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
a) Put your device into Bootloader mode.
b) Flash away using the RUU
Now you have got HSPL, why the H, because it stands for HARD, means now if you load your official ROM 2.03, this HSPL will not be overwritten.
And believe me, i have flashed HSPL 1.93 and using the official ROM 1.93 WWE along with it.
AND i have NOT faced ANY problems at all
Plus! There seems to be a screen flciker problem with SPL 1.40. So dont flash HSPL 1.40. I can guarantee from my usage 1.93 is the best.
Moving ON!
2) Flashing a CUSTOM ROM (Need to do mtty)
a) Now see, this is the part where the initial headache comes. Cos every cook recommends that you do a mtty format on your Diamond before you flash their custom ROMs. What the hell is mtty and why do you need it so badly.
Answer: Suppose you dont care abt mtty and you flash a Custom ROM. Then you experience sudden freezes on your device and even a few resets also. And even before that gets started, You might not be able to flash the Custom ROM at all, because somehow the flashing gets stuck at maybe 3% or X%
Is the Chef to Blame? Nope! This is where mtty solution Jumps in.
So the next step is to read and format your device with mtty. READ HERE THOROUGHLY and FOLLOW THE METHOD MENTIONED Depending on your Computer Operating System!
b) MTTY DUDE RIGHT HERE
3) FINALLY, time for a CUSTOM ROM!
Oh! SO you done with mtty and reading this part eh? Well what are ya waiting for.
Since you formatted your device using mtty, keep your device in Bootloader mode
a) NOW flash any custom ROM which you want to flash.
b) AND if you want to flash another custom ROM again, you have to do mtty again
WHY?
Because Custom ROMS vary in size and take different sizes on the flashable part of your Diamond. When the current rom which you want to flash is smaller than the existing ROM in your Diamond, this can cause some problems. This is the reason you needed to do mtty in second step above.
And even if the case was vice versa in the matter of size, i would recommend doing mtty.
NOW Answers to your questions!
UNLOCKING and RELOCKING
Q1) Ofcoz! Indeed! Once you flash a Custom via the USE of an HSPL, you can revert back to your locked SPL. Havent caught the sight of a SPL 2.03 available here. But still this forum is full of suprising stuffs. So look around..
SO if you are reverting back to a locked SPL, then after flashing of your custom ROM is DONE! you will need these to erase away the HSPL, which wud not go even if you do an a flash from your official ROM. Because it is protected. SO read a similar case presented in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504675 and download the attachment in the 3rd POST. (I recommend this link and attachment than the link i am providing below)
Also a similar post abt returning to stock SPL is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39
If you are following the second scenario, in the case of Stock SPL 1.93 you wud need stock SPL 2.03
RADIO
Q2) There is no special requirement apart from unlocking your device with an HSPL. Once you complete the HSPL (Unlocking section) you are done! You can flash any number of RADIO and Custom ROMs which you want to check. Just remember to give your Diamond a lil rest. And Oh! one Radio and Custom rom at a time.
Q3) I hope most of your doubts have been cleared and you are confident to flash now.
Still if you need any help please post back or PM me. I may not reply soon, but still i would come around every 6-9 hours. Oh yeah i m a student!

Thanks for the reply, very complete and useful and a confirmation to what i was thinking. Thank you again.
I did find a 2.03 SPL in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390 and i've dumped my own as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2460876&postcount=3. Just don't know if it is the correct adress to 2.03 SPL.
Anyhow here's what i'm thinking:
1- Flash olinex 1.93 HardSLP
2- Flash custom ROM
3- Flash 2.03SPL back
Well the 3rd step may not be immediatly after step 2. I may want to try som other roms. But from what i've read it's best to have the latest SPL on your device.
By the way, what 6.5 rom's with bottom start button keep the same functions as the stock Diamond rom as when one pulls the stylus out while on a call it'll open notes, mute the ring when faced down, etc.

On call - stylus out - notes open is basically a feature available with the type of Phone Canvas version in the rom. You can try any of the below threads to get a suitable rom. These are the ones i have tried so far. There are some more 6.5 ROMs available also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611011
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765247
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
I think the mute option can be enabled by changing a registry value in the diamond, because it is dependent on g-sensor and light sensor, and irrespective of the ROM.
Good that you found my guide useful. I just checked that link for 2.03 SPL. Appears valid. Only when you try you will know. And yep what you say is correct. I also go with the latest updates. But somethings are really good i just get stuck with them, like my 1.93
Today i jus cooked a rom from my 1.93 stock. Removed some stuffs like customer feedback, error reporting and disabled security on installation of unsigned cabs.
I may post it online along with link to kitchen. The kitchen is very basic and so simple, i cooked my rom in 5-10mins max
