Hi, i have been trying for the last month and a half to try another rom on my hermes,but it seems i can't.
i have flashed many Roms and i never had a problem in doing that till the las time when i tried to flash into the new S64.
every time i try flashing into any new rom it rejects me by giving me the (ERROR 260) telling me i'm not connected and the USB cardle thing, but all of my connections are correct and my ActiveShyn is up to date and i was always flashing roms in the same way.
Some seniors here when i have mentioned that told me that it seems i have flashed or reflashed the Hardspl, so i'm trying to reflash the Hardspl, i have tried endless times but it keeps telling me the same althought i have downloaded almost every hardspl that is available in the xda site lol.
what i'm requesting please if possible to direct me in the steps that i need to make my hermes functional again please i'm sure u understand what i'm saying.
some have mentioned that cause i still have the
herm100 i can't flash it into another roms but that sounds a bit strange lol.
I know that i have still herm100 (old) and my ipl-1.01
and spl-1.06 but i think that dosn't matter in my opinion.
Please i request if u can help me in fixing my problem by providing me the steps by simple words and if you have a fresh zips of hardspl coz i'm so confused which one to use, it would be nice to hear how to do it step by step.
i really need your support and excuse me if i'm bothering u with this kind of request but i didn't know where else to go and ask.
My Current rom is the HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6[1].1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.03.2008 which is old and i would like to refresh my phone by a new version.
i was thinking of the new HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3 / GER v1 but i don't know if it would work on my herm100 cause i was told it was designed for herm200 and abouve is that true?
If not well there are so many more roms out there i would like to try but i'm stuck for the moment.
please again i wouldn't have bothered u with my request if i wasn't facing this problem.
thank u a lot and i hope to hear soon from u commrade.
Dayhauck.
have you tried to manually go into the bootloader and flash? You don't need activesync to flash like that if you're connected with USB. Also, from your SD card. Both have worked for me in the past.
Though you should have Hard SPL installed if you want to use the sd card method.
i have tried to do it manualy but i not much of a luck in loading the Hard SPL.
I really don't know what to do. i can't even f;ash to the original htc rom .
what else can i do?
1. Check your usb cable.
2. Try different USB ports in ur PC,
3. Check if the mini USB in Hermes is not damaged.
4. Check the bootloader if you have HardSPL installed.
5. Try SD method,
6. Read the wiki.
check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for sd card method for Hard SPL V7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
I had the same problem. If you can activesync with the cable then all you need to do as already mentioned above.
With the phone attached manually go into bootloader (hold on/off on right of phone and 'ok' on the left of phone both in while you prod the phone reset at the bottom of the device).
When you have the multicoloured boot loader run the update and it should work fine.
Hope this is some hepl
Hey guys I know this is not the unlocking thread but I tried posting on the thread made by "coke" with no response. So I thought I'd do it here. So here's the story
I have a Sprint Vogue and I was really getting tired of the slow HTC WM 6.1 and all the buttons that I could not modify on the cube (which is useless cuz I dont use any of the them). So I decided to try out a new rom with 6.1 and touchflo 2D.
I went to the ppcgeeks forum to unlock the phone, followed the instructions, read and reread the posts. Finally decided to give it a go. Everything went smoothly until the last step (exitbl) of coke 2.31. It kept telling me to disable USB on activesync and then the program would just shut down! ?? And yes I did disable the USB option for the activesync before that step. I looked under the device information and realized that nothing has changed interms of the ROM. So I tried it again and again (4 times). Then I just reinstalled the HTC 6.1 rom with the 3.42.30 radio... So any ideas on why this may be happening? I promise I followed all the steps
My second question is, in your opinions, what is the most reliable, stable and fast Touch 6.1 rom? Let me know if you have an opinion.
Thanks so much in advance, any help would be appreciated.
I had what sound like the same problem yesterday.
my post is over at ppcgeeks.
"I disconnected but I did not see the phone exit bootloader mode and reset itself.
....
What should I do from here?
Reboot phone, soft reset, hard reset? - go have fun?
....
I did a couple soft resets and have been playing around with it,
I guess I upgraded right... but it was weird there at the end, instructions not the clearest to me, i guess."
mine seems to be working fine, except the weather thing.
shows
in the About section my phone reads
WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.21041
Device Information reads
ROM version 1.05.Alltel
Radio version 3.42.30
PRL Version 30008
PRI version 2.02_011
I was kinda scared to do another hard reset b/c I had already changed a bunch of settings.
Sorry if this doesn't help you too much,
but it is nice to know I'm not the only one with this issue
.
Hmm sounds like a similar problem. But I thought it wasn't unlocked unless we saw 2.31.coke somewhere in the device information.
As far as I know, hard reset did not hurt the phone. I tried installing that unlocker 4 times then went with the original HTC rom and it still turned out just like before. It installed the rom fine
Yeah I am still concerned about how it wont go through the exitbl step...

Yeah, the directions can be a bit confusing over there on that thread
Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like
Hope that clears up things a bit LOL

Doug, when I go into the bootloader it DOES say SPL-2.31.Coke. Does that mean that it is all set? Also this time, it still asked me to disable active sync at this time (at the exitbl step) do you have to run that step to complete the unlock?
This is what my bootloader image says
VOGU100 NFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe
CPLD-3
Let me know if I need to run the exitbl or if I am set to load the rom. Thanks so much for your help!

Your all set to flash if in bootloader it says as your phone does SPL-2.31.CoKe
you all unlocked and ready to go ... just put your phone in bootloader mode then connect the phone to your PC "serial" will change to "USB" and then run the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow along with the bouncing ball, do the watusi, wipe hands on pants - whatever helps you pass the time
but follow the steps as outlined above with the hard-resets and power-offs and the like, believe me its better to solve the issues before they occur than wait and have to start over

Doug, it worked like a charm. I did not know that the last step of the unlocker was not required. I installed 6.1 with Touchflo 2D. Looks and feels .. wow. it's the coolest thing I've seen. I've followed all your step including a hard reset before I started using it. So far the speed is impressive.
Couple more questions for you since you are an expert at this.
1. If I reload the factory default ROM, will it reset everything back to normal and can I keep reverting back and forth between different ROMs without any consequences?
2. It (the NFSFAN's 6.1 rom) seems to use less Storage memory (137 free vs HTC's ~100 free) but much more Program memory (59 free vs. ~80 in HTC's) than the HTC default. Any ideas or concerns about this?
All in all thanks so much! Hopefully as I learn more and more I will be able to contribute things too. You are right. This is so cool and highly addictive!!
Take care~ BTW I am in Lansing Go State!

Glad it worked, and Ill try to answer you concerns
1 -Now that it is unlocked go ahead and swap ROMs all you want to, the tricky part is the stock ROM, flashing back to stock can and will revert your radio (if youve upgraded it) and ca cause issues with the unlocker, but a simple run of the unlocker 2.31 again can correct it
2 - NFSFAN like other Chefs have ways of moving data/programs around when they cook up these ROMs utilizing whatever kitchen program they personally prefer that being the case how they data/programs get pushed about can create the speediness you now see in your phone by freeing up the RAM for apps and the like and pushing programs off to the side optimizing how the device should have been setup from the start
As for that, Ive been using his ROMs as well as some others for quite some time and have had little to no issues with how he places the progs and data so I wouldnt worry about it
Yeah, Live in Las Vegas now - but Michigan will ALWAYS be home Go Red Wings !!!!

Thanks Doug, for all your information. Your answers were great! Hopefully I wont need too much more help in the future. i'm learning~
Don't mean to go off on a little tangent, but I find this post really helpful and was wondering if you, Doug, or someone else could provide a link to this 2.31 unlocker or whatever it is. Thanks in advance.

Having trouble unlocking my xv6900. I'm using 2.31 unlocker. I have the phone in bootloader mode and when I connect the usb it goes from serial to usb. I run the RUU from the unlockers self extracted folder but it get an error message. I'm pretty positive its just something im not doing correctly. Any help appreciated.
Another thing I noticed the RUU will not detect my current version if I am in bootloder mode. If I run the RUU with active sync on it will detect my current version but when it puts my phone into bootloader mode to update it, it disconnects my active sync connection.

From Detroit_Doug
At the point where it tell you to disconnect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
Maybe wait longer if you can,
I reckon some pc take longer to fully recognize[process] the disconnect and reconnect procedure.
example: disconnect > wait 20-30 seconds > reconnect > wait 20-30 seconds > then continue
I had that same issue and waiting longer during this process helped
.
I can't even get to that point. With active sync on as soon as I start the unlocker RUU it gets the info from my phone and shows the current rom 3.14.605.1 ....I click update and it shows 2.31 unlocker I hit next and then the install status bar comes up on my desktop and my phone goes into bootloader mode and the active sync connection drops and I get the 262 connection error. If I start the RUU with my phone in bootloader usb mode already it does not detect my current rom and I click next. click next to 2.31 unlocker, and it goes through the same steps and I get the same error. Is there anything I have to do to my phone prior to running the RUU. My phone is a verizon xv6900 running wm 6.1 rom 3.14.605.1 with radio 3.37.78
I have the same problem with my new sprint touch. I get error 262 at 0%, did they change something in these new phone that won't allow us to unlock?
Rom is 3.03.651.4
radio 3.42.30
I think I got it, what I did was not to extract the vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe file but to run it. I had activesync set up and connected, then just ran the unlocker, don't extract it. It will shut off activesnyc and put my phone in to the 3 color screen, form there, just follow the directions. Also I didn't have to run the exitbl step as my phone auttomatically exit and restarted.
I ended up having to re-run the .041 unlocker and then the 2.31 unlocker and it ended up working for me. I'm not sure why I had to because I Had the same bootloader info prior to running the 2.31 unlocker in the first place. The 6.5 rom and gps rom has been working flawlessly for a week now, the only thing I had to do was call up VZW (*8889) the guy answered "account investigations" LOL I told him I had to hard reset and my phone wouldn't authenticate and he asked me to call back from another line. I told him that I had no landline and he said thats fine I can override it just call back right away whenever you get to another phone. That was on friday and I have not called back but I've been able to text, make and receive calls so I don't think I will unless I have to.

thank you! i did that and it worked for me.
yeah, it says right in the directions over there to just run the exe it will create a temp folder and run the RUU itself from there
Extracting it and running it will always cause issues
also - Ignore the sleep4.exe or whatever if you encounter it - it is a legacy exe that is called that isnt used anymore, wont affect the unlocking just hit OK through it

Hello everyone, I am really new to this forum having received the Dash 2 days ago. Looking to get it up to speed I flashed the 6.5 Energy Rom according to instructions. I think that was a very bad move, because now the cellphone is stuck on the Loading Energy Rom screen. I have searched the forum for answer and have already tried the following:
1- Entering bootloader and flashing original ROM. No luck because EVERY rom I have gotten, be it from here and T-Mobile, it says invalid vendor ID.
2-Tried to perform a hard reset. Did not work.
3-Flash the original ROM through the memory card. No avail.
The phone cannot connect to active sync, so I can't install any cooked ROMS. I think the solution is installing the original ROM by the bootloader, but I cant seem to find a compatible one. My cell information is the following:
Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU
EXCA 100 S/N SZ713FE05873.
Is there any way with that information someone can tell me which ROM to use? Or any other tip/hint/suggestion? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have the same Bootloader screen info: ONBL 1.22.0000 SPL 1.22.0000 IU value and i was able to restore my phone to working status with the following ROM

That's odd, I was able to restore my Excalibur/Dash after flashing the corrupted EnergyRom.
Hope you will find a way to resolve your problem.

But how did you do it? Flashing it through USB or through the memory card? The weird thing is that when I run the EXE the cellphone that appears in the picture of the program is an SDA. But well I will try it again and thank you for the help!
I used bootloader method and connected my phone through USB for flashing. Remember to remove your memory card when flashing.
well, I've been in your situation for almost 3 days now, and still no solution for it, maybe it's time to put it in the box and purchase a new one , all thanks to the broken EnergyROM ...
Ok guys. Don't give up. Believe it or not, a Dash is NOT easy to brick like some other devices. the steps are fairly clear but let me refresh:
- Go into bootloader by holding the camera button and powering on the phone
- Connect the USB cable, you will hear the ba-bing USB connect sound on your PC (if u don't thats why you're having issues flashing)
- Download and unpack a "factory sealed" signed ROM. I use this one: http://rapidshare.com/files/7886560...S_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe.html
- With USB connected and the phone in the multicolor bootloader, run RomUpdateUtility.exe, check the boxes, it next, bla bla bla.
- It will look for your device for 20 seconds. then hit "update" and next.
- It should then start flashing the Excalibur Brightpoint Factory ROM back onto your phone
- If you can't get this far or it fails, try a different PC or Flash from the SDcard
** NOTE: If flashing from USB, REMOVE the SD CARD! This is the biggest mistake of most people trying to flash from USB.
Good luck.

Thanks ookba for cheering us up. I'm having the same problem like many, many people in this forum hopeless seeing our dash not responding to every solution proposed in this forum and the only thing that we have right now is keep trying to flash and see if it works. I will try again in different PC and see what happens. I'll let all of you know if I finally resurrect my s621.
Thanks everyone for all the help! It's hard to find people that are so helpful on internet forums. I'm still in the same situation as gmaniac and alexalexoe but hopefully we can find something that will fix our problems

Thanks 105507 but no success at all, I even found 2 more factory roms in the web and also they don't work. I own an unbranded international version s621 manufactured by Brightstar corporation (I tried to flash Brightstar's stock rom but it didn't work) and I noticed this because in the warranty docs it says brigthstar corporation and originally the phone came with WM5.
not that this will help. but this is one of the reasons why people should be really installing the hardspl so if you have a bad flash, you dont have to install a stock rom. any rom whether be it cooked or not will work. but this hardspl must be done prior to installing ANY rom. the hard spl is done by jockyw2001. send him a pm to see if theres anyway to get that on the phone, even in its current state.
edit: here's the link to the hardspl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605

Have you done a reset? My friend fixed his by trying reset a few times. He reset it, walked away...., it took long time to see whether it booted over; if not, do it again...
By the way, he leave the sim card in; and, you need to remove your micro sd card.
On an official site it is possible download ROM for your phone. It is flashing from bootloder mode. It some times helped me, while I have not flashed hard SPL.

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?
As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.
no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.
@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

Also, which OS are you running on your PC? If its Windows XP, make sure you download Active Sync and install/run it. If you run Vista / 7, make sure you run the Mobile Device Center.
moved you're thread out of rom dev section, best of luck sir.
Update -
My OS is win xp and copied and installed the cab on my device. then I re-powered hold down the volume and got that tri-color screen with the usb connected. Started the HardSP app and have been waiting for 15 minutes as nothing seems to be working.
Did I miss something?
Got error 262
Ok I finally got an 262 error. I am not what I missed. Dl'ed the cab re-powered holding down vol key started HardSp app.
Help.
Stil need help
I am at home and my pc is vista. Can someone pls help get over this hurdle?
Please Please Please
Morning,
I have tried countless times to upgrade my ROM, Custom RUU, task29, etc.... Everything ends exactly the same; Screen on the phone shows the multi color background with "USB" at the bottom of the page, then both my laptop and the phone show a status bar that never moves off of 0%. I let it sit for a while, then I get some form or another of a communication error. It wants me to perform a "Recovery" but that never works either. I always have the same results.
When I try to use the HardSPL file, I get an error that states "Windows cannot access the specefic device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them." It does not matter how I try it or "Run as Administrator" it still does not work.
When I connect my phone to the laptop, Activesync kicks in and establishes a connection, when the screen goes multi color with "USB" at the bottom, I hear the laptop ding as it does when a USB device is disconnected. I don't hear any dings as if it were reconnecting. I have tried this on 2 different Win7 machines and get the same results.
I would love to flash the ROM on this thing as it is over bloated with apps that I don't want/need/care to have! I know this phone has the potential to be very a very cool phone, so I am begging for help on this one.
I have succefully flashed the ROM on my old HTC Fuze phone with no issue at all. I have to wonder when I see the threads for doing this is over 2 years old if that has anything to do with it.
If anyone could please assist me in getting this sorted so I can open my phone up to new and different possibilities, that would be great!
Thanks
Joe

1. So your only problem is that you can't hardspl. Then why do you say that nothing from this site works?
2. Ask hardspl questions in the hardspl thread.
3. Try entering bootloader and then plugin your usb and perform a hardspl.
For further help, you should really ask in the hardspl thread

Yeah, the OP is really only having problems with HardSPL, and nothing else (not being able to run Task29 or a flash a custom ROM is due to not being HardSPLed). Why flame the entire website, and the thousands of ROMs, CABs, and other stuff that people dedicate their time and hard work to accomplish?
If you are using Windows 7, you should not be using Active Sync, you should be using Windows Mobile Device Center.

This may be the problem. But HardSPL on Windows 7 is a known issue if you read the HardSPL thread. It works for some W7 user, and not for others. If this continues to be the case, your best bet is to find a XP machine and HardSPL from there. Other things, like flashing a custom ROM should work fine on your W7 machine (using WMDC).
