Well i bought this mobile yesterday, now i tried to instal wm 5.0 on it.
One of the problems is, as you have to unzip a file supercid and use it, how do u actually make it work correctly, it always fails with the alpha tool...
Maybe it's because i have SPL 2.4.33.11, could it be because of that, that those things fail? (If it does, how do i downgrade it, so i can install wm 5.0 on it?)
And something about unlocking ur applications, how the hell do you do that, none of the ways i've tried didn't work... any help would be welcome...
thanks...
Yep you need a 1.XX SPL bootloader. Do a google search you'll find the answer - you're not the first to have this.

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.

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, just to start I will say that I'm completely new to PDAs, because I got my HTC TyTN a few days ago. So I had WM5 and I installed WM6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829
But then I saw the Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 Roms, which had TouchFLO installed and tried to install the full version, when it asked for Bootloader version I ticked the SP 2.02/2.10 (or whatever it was), because it was the closest to my Bootloader version - 2.03 (if I'm not mistaken). It started installing but after few seconds it displayed me some error. I don't remember what was the error, I only remember that it said that something was corrupted. So I would really appreciate any help installing Schap's WM6.
P.S As I said i'm newbie with PDAs, so please if you try to expain what should I do make it a bit more .... simple .
I'd suggest using the detect spl option when you try flashing. If you still get an error I would highly recommend posting the details so you can get the correct help.
There are several ways to get in touch with a new rom.
Please read the wiki, there should be everything explained.
Hermes Wiki
If nothing works there is only one solution for me, yet.
Then I have to change manually to bootloader mode and flash the original latest provider rom. After this step I am able to flash a rom of my choice again. regards
"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL" is the error that i get when I try the Autodetect. Should I try using safe SSPL or ... ?
I also forgot to mention that I'm using Windows Vista. I heard that there were some problems updating ROMs using the Windows Mobile Device Center, so perhaps this is the problem ?
To start with I strongly recomend you read the WIKI.
As first base you should install HARD SPL (again read the WIKI).
After you'll have hard spl on yor TyTN you should use autodetect.
(Make sure you are fully connected in Windows Mobile Device Center befor any of the above)
I've installed HardSPL guided by http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
but I still get the same error. I also changed the WMDC drivers with those from AS again beign guided from the above link. Should I tick the SPL-2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader or what should I do ?
Flash using an SD card.
YES pick Safe SSPL, it will run through and be fine. Sometimes that happens.
Flash a stock WM5 ROM. Get into windows. Download HARD-SPL (2.10). Use the force SPPL option while activesynced (GUEST) to flash the BOOTLOADER. Get back into windows, and use the same procedure for the OS ROM. Use force SSPL while activecyned..
Hello to anyone who can help me...
i am posting this thread after searching this forum for answers to my problem, and i could not find the answers...
I have the Diamond (DIAM100) with Original SPL 1.37.000 and GER Stock Rom installed.
My Upgrade goal is HardSPL 1.38 Signed (Olinex) / DiamondProject V2 GER / radio .05
I try to upgrade SPL, Radio and Rom according to several guides in this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
I tried using the RUU Program with HardSPL, tried Diamond CustomRUU, tried manual Bootloader access, everytime the Upgrade Software stays at 0% (on the phone also) and after about 5 minutes i get ERROR [262].
Luckily, i haven't bricked my diamond yet, it always came back to life again.
i can confirm, that the device enters bootloader mode, then changes to grey screen with progress bar. But that is all.
Maybe it is a Vista issue, maybe not.
But all i get is ERROR [262]: Update Error
Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance for any serious help...

... Running Vista Ultimate 32bit, but not sure if that will make a difference...
I will try to get hands on XP computer tonite....
You can always try running the RUU update utility in WinXP32 compat mode.
What Hard SPL ar eyou using???.... usually the problem...
you will need Developer edition if the ROM is not signed.
developer edition worked for me on Vista 32. Thanks guys!
OK
I ran a Hard-SPL (from the dev thread) Diamond-OliNex
This completed and did whatever it did and i had to do the basic setup on the phone again.
I have now got the radio ending .06 from this thread this thread and cant get it to work with the OilNex Hard SPL or the 1.34 listed in that thread.
I'm back to square one where Error 262 Update error is occuring.
I'm tring to flash the radio as the O/S i have appears to be running sweet but its having web issues that appear to be DNS/Connection related.
This needs an idiots guide like the other phones have .... 'coz i'm an idiot and I can't do it.

Yeah, but for me the problem still is to get ANY HardSPL on the Diamond in the first place.
I was trying to put HardSPL 1.38_Signed to the phone...
Adwinp: thanks for the advice, but did not work either...
As far as i can tell, this may be a problem with the USB driver from the Windows mobility center software...
I will try on real XP and give you feedback tomorrow.
thanks guys.

The developer edition i.e. unsigned worked for me.

I had the exact same problems. I tried every possible combination of Hard SPL and ROMs. Here is what worked for me in the end (no problems since):
1. install newest .Net 3.5 on windows PC (don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but after installing everything started working fine)
2. install Unsigned HardSPL (developer edition): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
3. install chosen ROM / Radio ROM with RUU (Rom Updater Utility): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396073
After flashing a ROM the device makes a hard reset so you should backup your data first! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
good luck!
Finally it worked, also thanks to all who replied in this thread.
So i like to share my experience in this:
1. first i downloaded all SPL and Radio i could find, then i looked for GER language Rom. Quickly decided for DPT V2.
2. First attempt to flash failed completely on a Vista PC (32 Bit Ultimate)
3. Back home, moved all the downloaded files to my XP SP2 PC..
4. Noticed: DiamondCustomRUU would not start in XP, got error message saying "... could not be initialized", so i tried the standard RUU instead, with the shortcut of manually putting the PDA into Bootloader mode...
5. Sucessfully flashed HardSPL 1.38 on the Diamond, and the device rebooted with Hard reset.
6. Next i tried to upgrade Radio to .05 Version... Failed, stuck a 0%
7. Changed SPL to 1.40 (Unsigned), now the Radio could be flashed. Seems that Radio Files are Unsigned?
8. Flashed DPT V2. Success.
But still wondered about the unsigned Radio file...
Again, thank you all

So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.
1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.
Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"
Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))
Old roms here

The connection between PC and PDA is made, because as I said there is a progress bar on the phone screen too.

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.
Great!
Glad it all worked out
