HELP ME with my dead Hermes, PLEASEEE!

Hi all,
I need to know if someone can help me to bring to life again my lovely JasJam,that was working great until this morning.
The problem is this one:
I was going outside the country this morning (I am in Czech rep. now and I went to Slovakia) and on the way back I realize that my hermes (herm100,spl2.10 olipro,RADIO 1.57,schaps 3.54bITA) was without any signal. I tried an other SIM card and the result was the same.
Once at home, I tried to reinstall schaps,everything was ok,except the signal still missing.At this point,I tried to reinstall the Radio and the bar was still at 0% and after 3 minutes it gave me error 262 and now is with the screen always on (illuminated) on the KITL page and it doesn't start anymore...
please,someone with a good heart,help me.

back a live any hermes ( that's as worked whith my hems)
I don't know that's work but try install any official rom from HTC that's have radio information and then you can install any other. but extrat the signedruu. (that's the rom file) and then put the file into a sd card start your herm by pressing simultaneous the power, and ok button and prissing the reset hole whith the stylus pen and follow the steps it's very easy.

thank you Zefo,
but I am Stuck on the bootloader page, I cannot insert a original Rom because ActiveSync doesn't recognize the phone.

Being in the Bootloader page is fine. Just run the RUU Wrapper, it will connect.

What caused the problem? I am a little worried as I am going to Tenerife on Friday and I am running Radio 1.54.07.00 as well (I assume thats what you meant when you said 1.57)...
Is there any reports of going abroad messing up your phone when its been modified with new radio/rom?

Hi Allan,
I would like to run RUU,but ActiveSync doesn't connect my phone,so when I launch it,they don't communicate. The computer see the device,but ActiveSync not, infact, If I try it,Itgive me error 260 Update Error (I used Hard SPL v7)

Stick what you need to flash on a MicroSD card and stick it in the phone, you should be able to boot off of that.
Theres instructions somewhere in the forum on it all.

I got the axact parameters of yours Hermes, STARFURY, it changes only the rom (mine is/was schaps 3.54b).
I am not able to find what you suggest me but I cannot go on the SD if the phone doesn't turn on the OS...How can I do?

Get a usb cardreader plug your microsd card into an sd card adaptor, then plug that into the cardreader and the cardreader into hte PC. Transfer the stuff onto the microsd card and stick it in the phone,.

but I have just to put the 2 files RUU Wrapper (Bootloader) on it in the main root??and how can I make them start?

I was able to go into the OS but I am still with no GSM and if I try to update it,it stops at 12% also with original ROM.
Can anyone give me a link where can I see where the radio chip is located on the mainboard please?

[TUT] Unbricking your Excalibur

Everything you ever needed to know about "unbricking" your Excalibur but were afraid to ask is in this guide. I've put together this guide for those of you who either intentionally or unintentionally "bricked" or think you've "bricked" your Excalibur.
It is not easy to brick an Excalibur if you actually read and follow all of the steps and guidelines before a flash. In fact, not many things can go wrong unless a USB cables disconnects during a flash, your PC crashes in the middle of a flash, or you flash a corrupt image file to your device. Statistically, most of the time people only think their Excalibur is "bricked" when actually it's not.
There are three methods you can use depending of the severity of the "bricking". The first method will unbrick 50% of all Excalibur's that have simply "locked up" and won't reboot properly. The second method will unbrick 95% of all Excalibur's that encountered flashing problems or flash failures. The third and final method, and the most involved, is a "last resort" for those who have tried method's one and two numerous times unsuccessfully.
** Please perform these steps and methods at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage you cause your device using this guide.
If you're new to the Excalibur or SmartPhones in general, please take the time to read the WiKi and this post by Stylez for valuable info before you post or try any of these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397583
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537151
But, before I even get into unbricking, if your phone is in fact working right now, I highly recommend you flash HardSPL to avoid even having to follow these steps anytime in the future. The steps and info for HardSPL and JumpSPL can be found in this thread by jockyw2001:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605
HardSPL basically flashes your phone with an "unlocked" security partition so all security checks are bypassed when you try to flash a cooked ROM or a ROM designed for another variation of the Excalibur such as Dopod, HTC, TMO Dash, etc. Makes life much easier when trying different ROMS or cooking and testing your own! Thanks jockyw2001!!
Ok, so onto the fun stuff... Your phone won't boot... Either it's locked up and simply stopped booting or you flashed your phone and it won't boot. What do you do??
Method 1: Assuming you didn't get "bricked" from a flash problem, the first and easiest method for "unbricking" your Excalibur is (this will erase ALL data in your Excalibur):
(This method works for 50% of supposedly "bricked" Excaliburs)
Remove your SIM and SD card
Remove and reinsert your battery
While holding the two softkeys with your thumbs, press the power button
Continue holding the softkeys until a black screen appears saying "This operation will delete all your..."
Press "'send"' to restore to hard reset your phone
Let the phone cold boot and restore
That didn't work!! . This next method will reflash your phone to the factory ROM.
Method 2: Second way to the path of unbricking is:
(This method will unbrick 95% of all Excaliburs)
Get a hold of your Shipped ROM. You can find these ROMS either in Dopod's site, HTC's site (with a valid serial #), TMO's site (http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ with a valid IMEI), or right here at XDA at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726)
Download one of these factory ROMS and unpack it. **Remember, if your phone is a TMO Dash, you MUST use a TMO Dash ROM. If your phone is HTC Branded, you MUST use an HTC ROM, etc., etc., etc...
Remove the SD card if one is inserted in the phone
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. I found this step to be essential to reset the device. Put the battery back in.
While holding the camera button on the right side, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.
While in this mode, plug in your USB cable and you will hear the "ba-bing" USB sounds as the device connects
Unpack the ROM package you just downloaded and run RomUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the steps, check the appropriate boxes, and start the flash
Assuming all goes well, your phone will flash to the factory ROM and you can then troubleshoot what went wrong the first time that bricked your phone.
Oh no!! That still didn't work!? Or it worked but the flash failed with Error 270 or another error......... Never fear!! XDA-Developers is here! This next method is a bit more intense. It creates a "goldcard" which is used to SuperCID the Excalibur so that it doesn't care about what factory ROM you flash. Please have the factory (not a cooked) ROM ready to go.
** (This method is not intended for Newbie's and some enhanced knowledge of HTC devices and Windows is required to successfully work.)
** (Retry the second method several times with a few different factory ROMS before attemting the below)
Method 3: The third "goldcard" method is a bit more intensive and should be used as a "last resort" so follow closely:
(should unbrick ANY bricked Excalibur if performed correctly)
Get a cup of coffee or tea
You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below
You will need QMAT. Get it from http://revskills.de/index.html.
Go to the Download link and download the latest version and unpack QMAT
Have some coffee
Use a SD card reader (either USB for microSD adapter) in your PC to access the SD card through Windows. Format the SD card with FAT32.
* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device and boot up the device. Connect the USB cable and establish an Activesync connection.
Open QMAT and go to the "Hardware Forensics" menu and select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
In "Select device key:" select the Excalibur
You will need the serial number fro the inserted SD card so click the "Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device" button
Once the Serial number appears in the box, click the "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD" button below
If no errors pop up and all goes well, skip the next step
If you get an error or a popup saying "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in newer devices", you must buy and register the software. Believe me, it's worth the small amount of $ you will spend to bring your expensive device back to life!
Now remove the SD card with the newly written Goldcard image from the Donor HTC device
Insert the SD card back into your PC using the microSD card reader adapter. Browse to the drive letter assigned to it. You will see no files on the SD card, this is normal.
(If, for some reason your PC sees the SD card as unformatted, something went wrong. Remove it and reinsert it into the Donor HTC device. The device should see the card as unformatted and ask you to format it, say yes. Now go back to the "* Insert the SD card into the donor HTC device" step above and repeat the steps)
Unpack your Dopod or other factory ROM and copy RUU_Signed.nbh to the SD card. Once it had finished copying, rename the file to EXCAIMG.nbh. Remove the SD card from the PC.
Make sure the Excalibur is off and insert the SD card
Enter bootloader mode as mentioned earlier (hold the camera button while pressing the power button). No need to connect the USB cable.
You will see a gray screen that says "loading". It will then find the EXCAIMG.nbh file and ask if you would like to start the update process. Follow the instructions and let the phone flash.
It will take 10-15 mins but your phone should boot fine and be back in action!
QMAT is a VERY powerful tool written by viperbjk that allows for full low level manipulation of HTC and WINCE tasks. Read all about it here http://revskills.de/index.html.
Many thanks to jockyw2001 for his amazing HTC device knowledge! Also thanks to all who contributed to this post.
Hope this tutorial helps!

Hi OOkba,
This happened to a friend in the office's Dash. It simply froze up while operating. I actually got on the phone with HTC support. We couldn't get it to do anything. It does power up but then freezes.
The HTC guy was of the opinion that it is hardware related.
You ever solved that one?
BTW - I am running the 7.18 6.5 - love it - thank you so much

Yes, you have to have a spare working phone to create a "goldcard". The phone must be powered on and sync'd via USB so QMAT can access the storage card.

English is good!! Who is your Carrier? Maybe your carrier has a ROM UPdate on their website? You should be able to use the TMO or Brightpoint ROM. You tried all the factory ROMS and they fail to flash?

Sup ookba!
I really want to flash my TMobile Dash using your rom, looks pretty cool but I'm deadly afraid of bricking my phone so first, I took a look on my System Info and it says
ROM Version: 1.33.422.1 (tho its a TMobile Dash, I think the seller flashed it with this international rom).
Model Name: HTC S621
So I got 3 questions
1) Can i flash 3VO rom on this phone?
2) If the flashing fails, can i just use another 1.33.422.1 ROM and reflash it?
3) Will the flashing process (both ways) will bring the SIM Lock back?
Greetings from Brazil and sorry about my glass-cracking, horrible and ultra-bad english.

Yes, your phone is fine. Make sure you follow all of the flashing instructions. Make sure you remove your SD card, connect your phone, run SDA Application Unlock, and run auto.bat from the update package.

I dont know what you're doing wrong. Sounds like you're not establishing an Activesync connection properly.

Ok, Ookba. My carrier is DIGITEL and don't have support in the website. The phone comes originally with WM5 in spanish. I try all the factory roms and not working. Please, tell me if there is any solution or I forget the phone.
Thank you any help.

Try the "Goldcard"' method. This should SuperCID your phone and allow you to flash ANY shipped factory ROM. Please follow the tutorial closely. You will need a spare phone with a microSD slot.

Ok, Ookba. But the spare phone must be a same model than mine? (HTC S620)

No, just has to Windows Mobile based and have a SDHC slot.

OK. I try with 3rd method and when run Qmat and select "Get SD Card serial from WINCE Device" appears the message "You need to set rigth registry permissions. See QMAT manual for more info." and not recognizes the sd card.
What is the problem?

Thanks, Ookba. You're great, man. Finally someone offers solutions to my problem. Thank you very much. My Phone came back to life again. I make a donation soon.

What do you do if the unlocker errors half-way through?

I actually have a new phone coming today because I had no idea what to do and when I called neither did Verizon.
I seen the GPS fix thread, downloaded all the necessary files, ran the first unlocker (.40) and it errored half-way through the process, I figured big deal I'll just run it again..
Well, my USB would show on the phone screen but in the bootload mode the unlocker programs couldnt detect my phone at all and I couldn't get out of bootload mode whether I hit soft reset or took out the battery. So I decided to try going ahead an upgrading, I tried the next step on the list (sprint rom) but the upgrade would error as well, then I tried the verizon one, error, and the just tried jumping back to the NFSFan ROM and it didn't even begin to error it said it wasn't allowed or something.
Anyways, I had no idea what to do... took it in to the store, they looked at it for awhile then told me to call a number, I tried the number and they attempted to wipe it from their side and couldnt do anything so they told me they'd send another one being I was still in my 1-year warranty.
Is this how you brick a phone? Having an error during an unlocker/upgrade? Or could I have fixed this if I asked here before I sent for a new 1? I don't mind because I'm hype for a brand new phone, I just wonder if it can be fixed incase this ever happens again.

to do the gpsfix you have to use coke .40, its not like its some old outdated thing the thread is from august everybodys been using it, all i want to know is if theres no return once an error occurs in the middle of an unlocker?

There is a fix
what is showing on the bootloader screen for the unlocker?
Also you may want to reflash a shipped ROM. I have had this happen on both Titans and Vogues and reflashing from the bootloader screen always solves the problem.

I'm assuming you have to flash via the SD card right? Because I tried doing it through the USB and all the ROMs would error because the unlocker never fully finished, I mean before all this my phone was unlocked by the 2.31 and I had the newest NFSFan running I just decided to go back for the GPSFix..
The bootloader screen wasn't froze, it showed the usual..
Upper right corner says "RUUNBH"
Then to the left top it says..
VOGU100
SPL-0.36.0000
CPLD-3
and Serial at the bottom until I put the USB in and it turns to USB.. but it doesn't get picked up by the unlocker if I try to re-run it

I guess I answered my own question.. to fix it I'd have to run the unlocker again from the SD Card so it finish's without error since the USB won't pick up right?
My problem is I've never ran anything from the SD card.. if anyone can tell me how you go about loading up an unlocker or ROM from bootload on the SD I'd appreciate it, this way when I get my new phone if I run into a similar problem I can fix it

Try installing this driver on your XP computer http://www.4shared.com/file/101893703/a59b72a/WindowsHTCdrivers.html if you have Vista let me know and I'll give you a link fvor that one. It should then allow you to communicate via USB. Also to answer your next question on flashing from the SD. It is simple you copy the NBH file from a ROM to Root directory of a FAT32 card 2 gb or less. Rename the file to VOGUIMG.nbh place the card into PPC and place into bootloader mode. Then follow the instructions.

All you do is put the .nbh file on the root directory of the memory card(use a newly formatted/clean card). It may delete anything else on the card while flashing.
I would take out the battery. Put in the SD card then turn the phone on. If, like you say, you are stuck in bootloader mode then it should start flashing as soon as it powers up.

Thanks everyone, I received my new phone this was mainly incase it happened again, but I also figured out why I ran into my problem..
During the unlocker I thought I knew the process being I'd done it multiple times, I skipped the part where I unplug the phone from USB and plug it back in so it's no longer connected with ActiveSync... thats why my unlocker error'd, so make sure you don't do that lol
What was messed up is my computers been acting like a piece of ****, it wouldnt even read my SD card so that I could put a file on it, but I don't think I'd wanna do it that way I have all my stuff on my SD card if it erased it I'd have been pissed..
ActiveSync does work, for awhile I thought the USB was only charging my phone because my new one wouldnt pick-up ActiveSync.. no idea why.. but if I plug it in and wait around 10 minutes it finally connects.

how did you create a blank goldcard, i can't access my SD card on my phone while it's in the phone so how did you do it

Do you have a WIFI connection? I do, and did the OTA 2.2 upgrade over WiFi with no problems, on my Unbranded European HTC Desire.
If youre phone won't boot properly, there are a few answers; 1) Return in to HTC, they're getit working and back to you, 2) Return it to th place of purchase, 3) Root/reflash (but sounds like it might not be an option).

When I got in touch with HTC they wanted £50 to do a reflash, falsely accusing me of rooting my device..

was that 50$ to send it to them? or can they do it without having it there. Because if THEIR update screwed up my phone i don't see why i should have to pay for a fix

maybe a silly question but did you try a factory reset?

Tell me about it, so thankful I managed to fix it myself!

It sounds like you are alll applying an OTA update for the standard ROM to what was a branded device. There are lots of explanations as to how to fix this if this is the case
In summary
Download update from mentioned here
Copy this to root of your goldcard and rename to update.zip
Turn off phone
Turn on holding down vol down
Select Bootloader then Recovery (an image of device should appear with exclamation mark over)
In menu (sorry forgot how you get in, if it does not appear then try power+vol down or power + back). From there choose apply update.zip
Wait while update applied
After update select reboot and wait for device to boot

Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.
Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?

I had to format the card in a card reader in my PC, then use the Gold Card Creator mentioned elsewhere in the thread. You have to install HTC Sync because enough drivers are in there to at least allow the apps to 'see' the card at physical level, even if the bricked Android doesn't. Set the phone to USB debug mode in Settings/Applications - the phone stays 'on' long enough between reboots to do that and get a CID out of it! Then Gold Card Creator works well enough to get the CID from the SD.
I'm trying this again with a 2GB card to see if makes any difference.

Check folder settings when using windows

Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.
Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?

Help with fresh install from ADB

Hi
I've got a Firephone which was randomly rebooting itself and then refusing to acknowledge the sim card or wireless network.
I decided to re-flash stock ROM via ADB and downloaded update-fire-phone-35.4.6.1_user_461013820.bin from the amazon web site.
I have managed to side load the .bin file OK and rebooted the phone. However, when I am trying to complete the set up, after choosing which language I want, the phone does not recognize my sim card so I just skip that stage and move on (tried with and without sim card and the following issue is the same). I choose the correct time zone but I'm unable to register the phone at this stage as the phone doesn't see any WiFi network. I try Register Later and the next stage is either enable or dont enable location services. It doesn't matter which one I chose as the phone then freezes and then after a while, it reboots and the whole process starts again.
I have carefully removed the back cover (out of warranty) and double checked the antenna connections are being made but this hasn't helped. I've even tried different stock ROM all the way up to update-fire-phone-32.4.6.5_user_465000520.bin but again get no further on each boot up.
Any ideas guys (girls) as its driving me mad now I cant even get a crappy working phone back. TIA
Paul
Update: Fixed the issue with Setup detecting WiFi. Removed back cover and took out antenna cable and refitted it. Must have been a loose connection. Still refusing to see my sim card (which is OK in another phone BTW).
