Brick Hermes, stuck at WM6 Screen, help!

Recently tried upgrading my SPV M3100 from WM5 to black WM6. Everything was going fine and I had installed the following
SPL (Bootloader) version 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
Radio version 1.43.00.00 (optional)
Was updating to ROM version: Windows Mobile 6 LVSW 160607 when USB cable was disconnected before installation ands I am now left with WM6 screen only
Can anyone help?

If you stuck in the wm6 boot screen and have flashed HardSPL 2.10 already you can just enter the bootloader and reflash your ROM again. Why do you use nearly 6 months old ROM (LVSW)?

Did you try to reflash the ROM?
Just switch to the bootloader and run the update again.
If the updater is complaining about "Not able to do so" you might need another ROM, but that method worked to or three times for me.
Cheers,
Jago

tried raflashing but activesync won't pick up phone

you do not need active sync to pick it up. Just enter the bootloader and run RUU.

how do you reflash without activesync?

Simply - flashing process itself is not done by the Active sync (its icon is grey when flashing). I have tried to flash a ROM this way and it works. You just have to input correct values to the RUU yourself. Bootloader is the tri color screen. You can access it by holding power and ok button while using the stylus to soft reset the device. Hermes will pick up the usb connection.

Please read the WIKI and flash an original WM6/WM5 rom before attempting to flash a cooked rom.. then make sure you know what you are doing before flashing the cooked.

tried both

Put your device into bootloader mode.
Connect it via USB to your PC.
Run the RUU on your PC (like if you had Active sync working).
Flash the ROM.
(should work with all cooked ROMs)
Update: I tried it now with the Schaps 4.20 - it is working.

When you run ruu it should create ROMUpgradeUt.exe if it says it fails to find the device just run this. I usually take a copy before clicking to close the error box.

where do u locate RUU.exe
sorry I'm not an expert in this

RUUWrapper.exe should be in the folder with the image you are flashing. Sorry if I confused you saying ruu.

When you download the cooked rom it comes in rar or zip containing 2 files - one with extension .NBH and the second one is RUUWrapper.exe (resource upgrade unit), unpack them to one folder and run RUU.exe Be sure to flash only ROM for your device otherwise you will kill it for good.

tried running RUU but get error 260, i.e. cannot pick up phone on USB

See post 12

yeah, tried running ROMUpgradeUt.exe, but still no joy

If this does not work for you - then you can use flashing from the SD card (no USB needed for this kind of flashing) . But try what markafreeman suggests first.

Lets try some troubleshooting:
Whne you connect your device in the bootloader (red green blue screen) to your pc what does it say?
In the white part of the screen on your device it should say USB - then it will work.
If not you can still try flashing the ROM from the SD card - you will need a card reader though for this kind of flashing.

WM 6.5 for T-Mobile MDA III

Hello,
if got the T-Mobile MDA III with WM6.0.
Now i want to update my ROM with WM 6.5, bit i only become the following error:
Your image has corrupted. please check your update utility.
Can anyone help me???
i hope you can help me.
thx
markus

try to re-download the rom and make sure you run a USPL first if it's your first upgrade. Search the forum if you need help

it dosn´t works
i´ve tried 5 different roms but no one works.
its the second upgrade on the fon.

Try a new update of SPL, files here= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
Download "ArtemisUSPL.zip"
1. Unzip
2. Connect your phone to computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
3. Run start_uspl.exe on your computer and wait until process finishes
4. The phone reboot.
When boot is done, you are CID unlock forever normally so you can flash all rom you want.
Then, You can flash now your rom, just run RUU from your rom folder and normally it's good.
If it always don't work, give us all the number show in your 1st screen when the phone boot (IPL, SPL ...)

yes, tell us what numbers you get on your screen
also what error are you getting
and what OS are you on....vista? XP ? Did you get an activesync connection before you tried flashing?
also try putting phone into bootloader mode first and then flashing, sometimes helps. (hold down RECORD/NOTES button when you reset)
once you've got an error number ( eg error 260 ) you can try searching the forum for that error number and see how everyone else has coped with it.

How to upgrade ROm with nbh file

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).

The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.

thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .

You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP

Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.

strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?

Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.

From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.

thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!

nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!

HardSPL + MTTY, an almost bricked HTC Diamond!

I really need some help!
I was following the the post The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread!! REVISED 02-11-09 and I made a mistake as follows;
blanktruth said:
Ok, first of all I did not think that it was this dangerous to use MTTY!.
I followed everything and came to these lines
---------------------
Cmd>task 8
Cmd>
---------------------
But after Cmd>task 8 my device restarted immediately before the second line Cmd> appears and I panicked and disconnected my device and pushed the wrong buttons while "Touch Diamond" logo was on the screen.
Now, nothing happens. I can not start from the beginning because I can not start the bootloader by pushing Vol Down and the small red reset button...
Is there anything else left for me to try? Or should I throw my HTC to garbage?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, I do not know how, but I brought my HTC to bootloader mode and now I can see it via MTTY. But I mistakenly formatted the Internal Storage while I was trying to bring my HTC to bootloader.
Is there any way to upload the DIAMIMG.nbh file to Internal Storage? Or should I follow a different way to save my HTC Diamond?

i have the same probnlem!! with my diam300
my bootloader show not Diam300 64m but only 64M on the first position in 3color mode... plz help

Connect the Diamond and run the customruu.exe from your desktop, this should work.

how to connect if i used mtty... its clear everything what i have on device storage and in bootloader canot start stock or developed rom...
if i want start hard spl its say invalid model it....

The only thing to do now is to flash back a stock ROM or use a custom ROM with the RUU.

Solved!...
Dom1n8tr1x said:
First of, your device is supposed to soft-reset after the "task 8" command and you should have been holding down the "Volume Down" and "Back Buttons" to begin flashing your new ROM. The whole idea of using MTTY is to format your Main Storage and flash a new ROM. Therefor you should have loaded the ROM that you wanted to flash onto your Internal Storage.

Thank you for your reply.
Actually I had uploaded the ROM to my internal storage, but during trying to bring my phone to bootloader mode, I formatted the internal storage...
Anyway, what I did now is, first I opened the USB Connection feature from ActiveSync, and then used CustomRUU.exe to Flash the ROM...
Everything is solved now...
Thank you very much all...

bootloader is all you need to revive the phone
connect it to usb in bootloader mode and just install an oficial diamond rom from an windows xp pc.
it's easy

Actually the most crucial part was to bringing phone to boot loader mode. And I think I managed that by pushing the Volume Down and Back (the arrow pointing left) buttons immediately after restarting my phone. And I had to do this after taking out the battery and putting it back after 5 sec.
When I pushed these buttons at the start up the phone tried to install the ROM from my internal storage, but as I explained I had deleted it by mistake. Therefore it could not find the ROM. I disconnected my phone from my PC and the screen started to say something like Retrying USB connection or waiting for USB connection, something like that.
I restarted my PC in Digitally Signed feature disabled by pressing F8 during start-up. Reconnected my phone to PC (the screen of the phone was still blinking as waiting or retrying usb connection). And voila the phone screen changed to boot loader mode...
The rest was easy. I opened the USB connection feature from ActiveSync and used CustomRUU.exe with a ROM to flash my phone...
That is all...

1. plug phone in to computer in bootloader
2. run customruu or stock from rom update on computer
3. wait for rom to flash to device
4.???
5.profit

but my booloader dont show model ID: DIAM300 64M what i had befor
and show me only: 64M
and any flash error with invalid model id, i canot flash, rom, stock rom, or hardspl...
understand me.. im not totaly noob... i used mtty X times... but now have this probles

can somebody help me?
my diamond dont have model id...
before i had in bootloader mode DIAM300 64M model id, but now i havent got... its show only 64M,
every rom flash stopped at 1% cose model id error,
every hard spl falsh finished 100% but after flash when device restart write model id error...
i cant do anithing... can somebody help me?

For everyone facing problems after flashing his/her device, take a look at the link in my sig.
There you can find a guide to restore your diamond.

you dont understand me..
i canto flash any rom any hard spl becous my diamond dont have device ID...
in bootloader dont show DIAM300 64M but only 64M
after all flash say error mobile ID...
i try mtty, hard reseted, soft... and nothing
after start its show me only first stock screan, the red text on the right bottom sight dont start: 1.17.25.14
2.100000
geny d2x
its maybe wrong but i forgot what waz here...
how can change device model ID? form 64M back to my stock DIAM300 64M?

Try another version of Hard-SPL, some people report that 1.40 not fully works.
I suggest you try 1.94 Olinex.

my diamond is death... if somebody know how can heal it... plz write me...
my device ID is missing... so i cant flash any rom, any hard spl, any radio...

try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425&highlight=invalid+model+id

im not sure but i dont think one can brick his/her phone after hard spl, thats the reason of hard spl in the first place that u dont brick it. boot loader is always present

Guide
if you are using Windows XP try the following steps:
Connect your device to your PC
In Active Sync > connection settings > check Allow USB connections (which you have un-checked while doing MTTY)
Find a ROM with CustomRUU.exe / diamond wrapper
Now enter into bootloader mode(forget about the device ID)
Go to customRUU.exe and run it
Follow the ROM installation steps
This will help you installing your new ROM.
I had a similar problem and i resolved it by follwoing the above steps.

Sense 2.5 help

Hey I would like to have sense 2.5 on my tilt too, but i really have no clue where to download it or start, help plz

I've read all the howtos and I tried flashing a 2.5 rom i found(i think its the right kind) and I keep getting error 262

Did you flash hardspl? What rom are you trying to flash? I suggest trying energy rom leo.

If by flash you mean download and run it on my computer then yes and the energy leo is the one i tried

When I click on the leo customRUU I get "windows cannot acces the specified path device of file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access this file "

I alrdy read that a few times over
"Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to OliNex)
1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. radio should be on)
3. NEW: Internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and license
4. Run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). XP requires Admin logon and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, allow it. If you get an AntiVirus warning please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it)
5. Follow steps as prompted in the HardSPL program. If this is the first run of HardSPL on a device after Hard Reset, you must select Automatic Flash Mode (first button in Welcome Screen)
NOTE: You should usually go for Automatic Flash Mode. The Manual Flash option is only to be used as noted below and you must only attempt the Manual Mode option if Automatic Flash Mode or SSPL-Manual.exe already put device in black screen. Any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash Mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.
6. It will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK
7. Now it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up then follow the instructions included in the error text. If no specific instruction is shown then ask for help in the thread, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred)
8. At this point the phone hopefully went to a black screen (reporting version as 1.01.C-SSPL only using "info 7" in mtty), this is the SSPL version, which is temporary. Then RUU will instantly launch
9. NOTE: When RUU says it will Hard Reset do not worry, it is not going to do that. Also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes ignore that, it will only take a minute or so
10. SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
So im here asking for help

did you download the package from "here" in the directions first and flash that before going onto a custom rom like nrg's?

yes i did.....

never ran into any problems myself so i dont know whats up but have you tried on another computer? flashed through sd card?

Ok, which device are trying to flash? Does tilt too mean "Tilt 2" or "tilt also"? If you are talking about a Tilt, you are in the wrong forum. This is Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2/Rhodium).
