Bootloader problem

I had SPL 1.30 and attemted to update to hard spl v7/spl 2.10
it didnt go through for some reason and it told of errors-from the start it said i should use sspl as it could not autodetect
the bootloader screen reads: Herm100
IPL-SSPL by Des
Herm100
SPL 1.09.ds
USB
when i try to update the rom it cannot autodetect, and tells me to use sspl, which doesnt work-it says check connection etc. and stays on the bootloader screen until i soft-reset
now i cannot update my rom's because of bootloader problems
-the device starts up and seems to work fine though-official htc europe wm6 rom 3.54
-activesync works properly
any ideas on what i should do?
i looked around on other peoples problems like this, but they seem to be stuck on the bootloader screen , but (fortunately?) i am not
thanks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i tried to solve by installing the o2uk official rom 3.54-it is a full upgrade not OS-only, this worked but i still cannot install normal rom's
when i try i cannot autodetect, and when i choose 2.02/2.10 new bootloader + Hard-spl it starts, gets to 1% and stops and resets phone saying there was an image problem
it now says spl 2.03
????
if i try installing the rom using sspl it goes back to the same problem as before (above) and the same bootloader screen appears (as above)
??????????

someone help please....any info at all would be appreciated

ditto..........

Have you read Mr Vanx's guide to putting on the HardSPL and ROMs? It sounds like you have but it tells you what options to use when you're doing it (link in my sig)
Also, I strongly advise you to stop trying anything other than the official ROM until you get HardSPL on - you risk bricking it otherwise (I realise you probably know this but for anyone else, this can't be overstated).
Cheers,
Smiffy.

I try installing hardsplv7 olipro;
the only option i can choose is 'force using sspl' and when i choose and continue it gets stuck on the 'verifying information on your hermes' grey box, and then it says connection error [260]-failed, make sure you are connected etc.
i am connected properly via activesync (usb)

Are you using vista?
Did you untick "enhanced networking" under connections/usb

I had also problems with my Vista version. MrVanxX has the working solution. Check that if you do have Vista!

Put the phone in bootloader and try it. Hold down the OK and Power button then press the reset button on the bottom, release the reset wait a moment and then release the OK and power button. Then try to proceed with the upgrade.

it does go into bootloader mode, and the screen appears and stays until i soft-reset
(i have unchecked enhanced enhanced networking in usb connections, but same result)
thanks for your efforts though
when i manually enter bootloader it reads:
Herm100
IPL-1.04
Herm100
SPL-2.03
When it enters bootloader through the ruu process it reads:
IPL-SSPL by Des
Herm100
SPL 1.09.ds
both times it only lets me choose hard-sspl in the hard-spl program and ends up with the connection errors documented above....

Are you using XP or Vista? If on XP have you setup a connection through active sync and not just a guest account?

i am using vista
but i've never had problems sending/recieving data, synchronisisng, flashing rom's etc. in the past

Phone Disconnects from ActiveSync when upgrading

I am trying to upgrade to Schap's new ROM on WM6. Once I have the phone sync'd, I open the ROM update utility and go through the beginning steps. I get to the "You are now ready to update your ROM image..." section and click next. The phone immediately disconnects from the computer and the screen turns off. The ROM update has failed at the point. Help!

Does your phone go into a tri-color screen?
You might want to delete your AS 4.5 settings on your desktop and then install clean from there.
Also, if you have Hard SPL on your handheld (which I HIGHLY recommend) then you could also go to the tri-color screen (hold the "ok" and "power" button together and reset), and the flash from there, using "force safe SPL"...I've had to do that a few times when I lost AS connectivity.
Hope that helps.
And I do NOT take responsibility if none of that works
Jim

OK I was able to get the tri-color screen up by holding those three buttons at the same time and the upgrade started, then failed with a message saying "The image file is corrupted." I downloaded the image file again and it is still giving me the same error. What does that mean?????

Do you have Hard SPL on your handheld??? My first post said you should have loaded that FIRST.
Jim

How do I know if I have SPL?

Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Hard SPL, not just SPL.
and if you dont know what that is, then i suggest you spend a little more time reading before you start flashing

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL

OK all the info required to do the upgrades and etc... is available readily in the wiki pages aswell as via the updated search function.
Please make sure you are up to speed on all the info BEFORE doing any upgrading on your device.
Heres some good reading:

Here's what you need to do:
Hold down the "Volume Down" button and press reset with the stylus. You will enter the Boot Loader. Now plug in your USB cable connecting it to you PC. On the bottom part of the screen (phone) you'll see USB. Now your PC recognizes the phone.
Start a ROM update through the RUU executable and flash your phone with a different ROM.

hard reset is somthing i dont want to do. Is there any other option?

I think not. Don't know if you have a lot of apps installed after flashing. What you could do is find a ROM that's UC2/sUC compliant. If you create a folder structure on your internal storage like this:
ROOT > Backup and Restore > CAB > CABi
Put all the cabs you want on your device in the CAB folder and all the cabs you want on internal storage in CABi folder. After flashin and initial customization you will find yourself in User Customization (UC). It will state that it found a CAB folder, choose to install. After this it will state that it found a CABi folder, install as well. This reduces the effort of installing all apps after a hard-reset. As for messages, contacts e.g. I suggest you use PPCPimBackup.

same problem, but when I launch the ruu all is ok, until it starts, it stay at 0%, then I get a message that there was a communication error

Try flashing through bootloader. Press reset with stylus while holding volume down. After you're in the bootloader plugin USB cable and start flashing.

tried and didnt work. made it worst in fact :S
startet update trough bootloader, started, updated to 13% and then I was told the update didnt work with my device (or something similar, in norwegian). tried an older update, same problem... :/
when I now boot the phone I'm directly in bootloader, and with the funny message
DIAM100 65M
SPL-2.03.0000
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
I might have my hand on a brick... but hope not...
edit:
ooh, news, suddenly its updating moore... after 5 tries it allways stopped at 13%, but now it up to 31% and going strong... will update..
edit2: going strong up to 33%....... wow... well its a start and Im going to try some more.
edit3; 7th time the charm it seems... 100% and all I had to do was sit REALLY still. and I actually downgraded from 2.03 to 1.93 or something... should note that on this point I have tried flashing it with the original 2.03 and 1.93 every other time...
edit4; aaaaand we're back at the TOUCH Diamond screen.
edit5; aaaand after a failed flash to wm 6.5 (stopped/didnt start at 0%)... the phone started... This MIGHT be a clue that I should NOT try to get wm6.5 to run... but that wont stop me
I dont know if anyone else will have the same problems, but atleast this was my way to the resolution

Before you try to flash anything other then a stock ROM, I suggest you take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to have Hard-SPL flashed before flashing any custom ROM. My advice would be to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705

cool, will try that one. thnx

Did you hold the volume down button while pressing reset? After pressing reset you should keep holding the volume down button until the tri-color bootscreen appears.

need hellp pls

I just flash my Artemis with wm6.5 lite made by thormdac, and it does not start, is stuck when WM is loading, I can not connect it to computer, what can I do? Can I make it longer work? I will post some pic with it.
Thank you.

1. have you tried a hard reset? (see wiki to know how to do this)
2. First boot after flash is normaly taking much longer dan a normal boot, ingore all noises (beep) till the screencalibration is visible and input is required,
3. How did you flash, did you remove correctly your microsd card before the flashing/update?
4. Did you use USPL to unlock the current rom first?

If dont work your phone after the steps what Twiggerdingo wrote, you can enter to boot loader with voice + power button (use them at the same time when your phone is off) and connect to PC and flash the latest official rom. After that, flash the uspl and you can flash thormdac's rom.

How to flash my HTC Touch pro 2 (sprint)

Hi everyone well I'm new to the flashing and dont want to jump any steps as this could possible brick my phone...
I've been having some problems with flashing as i cant find a step by step to flashing my HTC TP2. I've managed to do the RhodiumW Hard-SPL package but after trying to flash to some custom RUU's the installation seems to go fine its not until the phone first boots up, that's when the phone just hangs on the HTC splash screen
From there i cant do anything other then boot up to the tricolor bootloader screen and re-install the original 2.04.651.4 update!
can someone tell me what im missing to be able to flash my HTC correctly, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hey Tommy many thanks for the post. I just upgraded my phone and peeling through the information overload, however you direct link does not work for step 1. I want to make sure that I am running the correct piece of software that you recommending. Could you please list the title for that file?

Nevermind I was able to find it via a mirror site.
Back into lurker status for now
Thanks

alright so i was able to install they mightyrom on my phone that went well my phone didnt freeze and everything started the way it should have.
but does that mean i can now flash my phone to other for example "leo cell" or Bxsteez Rhodium" if not how do i get to that point cuz when ever i flas them to they just freese on the white splash screen with the HTC logo in green letters!!
Thanks!

If you have installed Hard SPL then use the sd card method.
1. Format the sd card FAT32 ( they come FAT default) and copy the rom's .nbh file onto it. Rename to Rhodimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card back into powered off Rhodium. Go into bootloader by pushing down volume and power.
3. If you did it properly and Hard SPL is on your phone then it should say to press power to update os...
If you aren't sure if you have Hard SPL then go to bootloader without the sd card in there, it should say SPL - 0.85.Olinex if you have Hard SPL, anything else won't register the flash file.
Cheers...

OK I was able to update to Winmo 6.5 with no issues....but here is my questions with regards to the Rhodium_W Hard-SPL
I was attempting to run it and it never gets pass 0%...In reading the details of the install instructions it reads
"the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license."

I have yet to activate my phone with Sprint could this be my error that I need to active my phone? I wanted to have the phone flashed and customized before activating.

I think you should ask this in the hard spl thread in the cmda section...That is the place for those questions Assuming that you have a cdma phone because you did not mention it. Otherwise check the hard spl thread in the gsm section.

Heading that way thanks for the directions mate!

the Hard-SPL will only work if you booted windows mobile. you have to sync the phone in windows mobile to the PC.

Did you try flashing the stock ROM? It's always a good idea to try that if you think there's no hope. It flashes everything.
Also, did you try task29?
