Hi guys. I have installed loads of ROMs onto my trusty hermes yet today, when trying to flash DuttyThroys Ultra Ultra Lite rom this happened: i downloaded ROM and installed it, it seemed to install fine, got to 100% and then came up with error message stating that Image File was corrupt. Now my hermes is stuck on the multicoloured bootloader screen?!?!?!? I have SPL 2.10. Hard SPL V7 HERM 100 IPL 1.04 (Dont know which of these is relevant to anythin?) .I have read the WIKI on repairing bricks but for my problem it says to reflash any nbh without radio. How is this possible if i cant get my pc to connect to my hermes???
Tried the method of turning off usb connection in active sync, removing battery, reconnecting to usb and running mitty (command SET 14 0) but nothing happens. Mitty says CMD error and active sync doesnt reopen the connection like the guide says! Man i hate this cuz i have now become one of those annoying noobs who has bricked their phone and hassles everyone for help!!!!
Have also tried to flash from sd card but nothing happens, flicks to white screen with LOADING... on it for 2 secons then flicks back to that wonderful multicoloured screen of joy!
Any help will be appreciated guys, cant live without my hermes!!!
Welcome to the fuc... nightmare world of the brick,i'mma in your same situation,now my Tytn is a piece of white stone,and it seems there's no reason to bring it back to live!
I can't stay without my Tytn i do a lot of things with it,Skype,SIP calls,Mail,Messenger,Memo,Internet......i'm in totally despair!!!
you should be able to just reflash a known good rom.

Brilliant story! both compelling and rich. But i have already explained that my pc doesnt recognise my hermes so how do you RECOMMEND i flash??
IT could be interesting to make the minimal effort to go and read the wiki.
anyway:

With the microsd card...
right, its looking good. managed to begin flashing (bar has stopped for ages but having read this is normal im not so scared!) using the SD method. Where my device wasnt superCID i had to use the matching ROM (Orange) to my CID (which incidently i dont know, just downloaded both Orange ROMs).
While im waiting ill try and help you TETSUO! (Im a noob so probably cant!)
Is your device SuperCID??? tell me as much as you can about your device SPL etc
dude, if u read my post u would have seen that i have tried SD method once (sing Black 3.5 not ORANGE ROM), im not crying and im grateful for any help but when i get advice such as 'flash a rom' im gonna be pissed!
And i have read ALL the page on unbricking!!!
It worked!!
One more question, as i have installed a stock Orange ROM do i now need to reinstall HardSPL v7??
Are you on a Win XP or a Vista PC?
XP dude, sorry should have said! and thanks
i went into bootloader, still says 2.10 olipro but when i try to update to new ROM (Black X RC)and pick autodetect it says it says unknown version, use SSPL. it never used to say this so i assume i need to install HardSPL 7 again???
with the tri colour sceen, when you plug the usb cable in does it go from serial to USB ?
what OS have you got ?
just my 2 cents hope it helps.
dude, i have got past that problem and have managed to install an Orange ROM onto it. i only need to know ow whether to install HardSPL v7 again!
sorry slooooooooooooooooow typing
good question hope there an answer,

just saw your post if ur device is hardspl you just need to supercid your device, If your spl is still showing hardspl and its coming as a error that normally happens to me as well just manually click spl 2.10 and tick (is it hardspl?}
To recap, i have now managed to flash a stock Orange ROM from SD card ( i think the reason it didnt work first time with SD is because device isnt SuperCID and i was trying to flash Black RC, soon as i used Orange ROM (my device is M3100) it worked. I am now back to a fully operational device. I wish to go back to Black but when i AutoDetect what bootloader i have it recommeds SSPL method. Before all my problems it would always automatically pick 2.10?? Does this mean i need to install HardSPL v7 again??
it was HardSPL v7 before all these problems, but im a noob so dont know if it still is?? would installing Orange ROM from SD Card remove HardSPL?? Bootloader still shows SPL as 2.10 oli

If you only flash the orange os.nb only then your hardspl wouldnt have changed so its safe to flash your device just manually choose.
If you want to flash hardspl again then do it on a precaution method
Mark,
First of all well done for getting yourself out of a hole. It seems quite difficult to ask for help these days without being shot to pieces even when you have first tried to help yourself by doing all the right things, which is more than can be said for some who come on here asking for help. So well done again.
Re your question, I would reflash Hard SPL anyway to be sure; however before you do that go to the Mr Vanx's guide on hard SPL (forgot the link but type in www.mrvanx.org and you should be taken there) and follow his instructions.
Good luck.

Hello i have a HTC orange Touch Diamond and i want to update the ROM as it is terrible. I am not that technical. can someone please explain what i need to do from scratch.
Thank you
I suggest your search the forum...
hello newbie
yes use the search button...it works really well
You first need to flash your diamond with one of the hard spl on this site and after you've done that you can take your pick from any of the roms on here
sorry guys i did look just didnt understand much. I am trying to use Hard SPL just cant get it to work.
same here
I have an orange htc Diamond and would really apreciate which files wouldwork. Everything I have tried stay's at Zero and ends up in an error.
Any help would be greatly ppreciated
root directory
to use hard spl i have to put a file in the root directory! but what is the root directory?
Hi James, your failing at 0% most likely because the SPL your using will not allow unsigned ROM's. Look for another SPL, one with developer edition in the title is good and works quite well for me.
I have an Orange also, the first thing to do is install the SPL then flash the radio (.05 is good) then get a new ROM!
Hope this helps
i think i broke my phone!!!!!
lol
i put the 2 files sspl and jump into my Diamond then i run sspl from my diamond and my phone resets.
The background image flashs a bit now. I still cant update the ROM and ideas what im doing wrong?

You need to do the following
1. Download the Unsigned HardSPL 1.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 and extract to a folder on your PC. Make sure you have Active sync installed and setup with your Diamond. Run the Updater in the 1.24 folder. Once the Phone reboots reconnect with active sync.
2. Download any of the ROMS on here and run the ROM to flash the phone.
Thats it !!!!!

Hard SPL won't work
Hello,
From what I've read on the forum and also on www.modmydiamond.info, I gather I need to go through the Hard SPL step before installing any ROM.
However, after trying 2 different SPLs (hard_spl.120 and diamond_hspl_1.24) it still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at 0%.
Thanks

Query on Orange htc Upgrade ROM.
Hi There,
I have recently purchased a htc diamond, it was originally an Orange unit but is unblocked.The ROM version is 1.37 but I wish to flash to 1.93.I have the Orange released version of the 1.93 as htc wont support me direct.Question is, if I do this will the unit revert back to being Orange??ie.....does this flash the radio back?? or will it remained unblocked??
Thanks in advance...

I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck
I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!
Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.
Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!

Hi everybody,
got yesterday another diamond, after mine died some time ago. It has 193 spl and I cannot upgrade to olinex spl. It runs through everything, but upon reboot it still has the original 193 spl. Any ideas? I really need to flash, mine speaks Dutch and I want it in English. Please help. Kind regards. Ben
Does anyone know if the XDA Orbit (Not Orbit 2) can handle windows 6.1 and if so do you know where I can get a O2 version please.
wow
where to start
all of the roms on the artemis part of this site should work with the orbit, but you'll need to USPL first.
None of them are o2 branded because there isnt an official o2 rom, but you can add the various settings you'll need manually afterwards. An o2 rom would (if it was released) effectively be the same as one of these roms but with a different wallpaper etc.
Just upgraded my o2 orbit using black & blue 5 off this site and after USPL-ing it it went fine.
use the search on this site for any problems you've got, and once you find a rom you like the look of read through the ENTIRE thread to see what (if any) problems other people have had with it and what (if any) solutions were found
only install a rom suitable for the ARTEMIS though (you're on the right page)
Upgrading O2 Orbit
can any one send me the link for installing Window mobile rom 6.1 on my O2 XDA orbit which currentle has window mobile Rom 6

WARNING! USPL should be used prior to using ANY cooked ROM, otherwise, you will brick your device, most probably..
here is the USPL which i have used, for the past 1 1/2 years, and this works fine with HTC P3300 & O2 Orbit (NOT ORBIT 2).. i have tested on more than 10 devices of each type and i confirm this..
This is the same USPL i downloaded from this forum, but i couldnt find the links from this forum, maybe im blind .. but i already have the files, so i have uploaded it to rapidshare.. here is the link...
http://rapidshare.com/files/201470586/ArtemisUSPL.rar
just EXTRACT, and then connect your Orbit OR P3300 to your windows computer, and make sure ActiveSync is connected and GREEN..
RUN start_uspl.exe, and things should go fine with the default procedure.. no complex settings, just NEXT NEXT type installation..
after USPL has been properly installed, you can try downloading any cooked ROM for Artemis from this forum, and flash it to your Artemis (P3300 or O2 Orbit).. i have faith that nothing will go wrong.. as even i try almost every ROM whether its Vietnamese or Italian.. just for testing purposes..

Thx mate.. for this.. can you tell me after i download the ROM then wat must i do? i didnt start the process yet
have you tried searching the forum yet?
once you've USPL'd connect your phone again (if not already connected) and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
follow the instructions
upgrading your rom will lose your data (contacts/ msgs and emails aswell as installed 3rd party software) from your phone so make sure you've got everything you need and you've recently sync'd with your computer first

Thx mate.. just 1 thing..
i got the phone from my brother..
he said that it is unlocked and when i got it on my hand it was working..
does this mean that the phone has undergone any USPL?..
it has WM 6 on it
no...someone will correct me if i'm wrong here but as far as i know :
'unlocked' usually just means it's not sim locked, ie you can put any sim from any network into it
this isnt the same as SPL locking.
when you reset your phone (poke the stylus into the hole on the side next to the dial button) and get the red numbers in the corner of the screen you will see
IPL x.xx.xxxx
SPL x.xx.xxxx
GSM x.xx.xxxx
and some more
if the SPL says anything EXCEPT
SPL 1.11.0000
it is NOT SPL unlocked
this means that you can't flash any rom thats not from the original carrier to the device
You only need to do this once, but once you've sucessfully USPL'd it will say SPL 1.11.0000
FYI, Topics about USPL unlocking ( using the search ):
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...temis&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Woow thx mate.. Now i can get it.. in my phone the SLP is some thing like 3.14.0000
cool.. well im thinking of doing the ROM installation soon.. thx
ok, you will need to USPL first then

Hello everyone I am trying to upgrade my HardSPL by following the guide. I follow all the steps but when it is in the process of upgrading, I get a message stating it needs to be connected. Now, I know its connected as I have activesync open and it shows it being connected. Any help suggestions? I am new at this so I am trying to figure this out. Thanks all!
Try putting device into bootloader mode (soft reset and then quickly press vol. down) then connect it to pc. At the bottom you should see USB. After that, Run the RUU_exe.
can anyone draw me a picture with regards to upgrading the SPL on my phone from 1.40 to 1.93

I have the same problem. Any tourtial how to upgrade from 1.40 to 1.93?
I am not an SPL guru, so I could be wrong about this, but this is from the stickys at the top. Under one of the HSPL threads
IMPORTANT: all in all, I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG and easier to deal with if there is some problem. only flash the 1.37 or 1.93 if you have screen issues.
if it was some other version and you still have issues after trying 1.37 and 1.93, then let us know in this thread.
Just Flash this...
Unpack this and click on the RUU, ensure your device is connected to active sync or Windows mobile device centre.
Should be straight forward enough.
GSM devices only
1.93 HERE
