Problem Rom Update

Please help me,
I've tried a rom update. But uring the update my phone
stopped.
All I know see is a screen with red/green/blue and white boxes. On the screen it says Herm100
My phones does not respond to soft/hard reset. Also if I want to sync it, it does not work.
Can anybody help me fix my phones? All ideas welcome!

Probably you've flashed wrong or broken ROM image. Fortunately bootloader is still alive, so you can easily reflash a correct ROM.

thnx,
but was is the correct rom then?
I've already tried to flash a new Rom but I cannot connect to Active Sync so is gives a error.
I've included a picture of my phone.
The text on the phone is:
Herm100
1PL-1.00
HERM100 MFG
SPL-1.01
At the bottom is says serial.
Could you please provide me with the correct Rom then?

Please correct me if im wrong but is that not a picture of a HTC Hermes??? I didnt even think it had been released yet, let alone any ROM updates?

Whatever it is, it ain't a universal
The hermes looks slightly different from the pix he posted:

I think they may be older pictures. These are newer ones i believe, with the two extra buttons:

well in your first post you said you were trying to do a ROM update, which file were you using to update...was it actually for your device? at what point did the update stop?

the friend from whom I bought said I should do Rom update
So I tried the update of the Universal.

Not gonna work. You need the rom for your phone, which AFAIK hasn't been released yet.

Agreed. Which means you will now probably have to wait until the device is fully released so you can download the proper update and get it back up and running again

Considering that a prerelease of the HTC Star100 fetched 1700 dollars on ebay recently, I think you might have missed a business opportunity by flashing the wrong rom

oww.. but can't get the right Rom from my friend who's phone is working? in order words can I download his Rom?
When its possible than how do I do this?
eventually when putting the rom on my telephone, what a about the active sync connection that doesn't established?

which ROM did u use to update? Did u take from xda FTP??

iep, rom upgrades are available for your Hermes:

Possible Official ROM Windows Mobile 6?

Hey guys, I ran into this file at one of the sites I frequent. I was told it was the official WM6 ROM. He never specified for what device though. Now I'm pretty new at this so I have no idea how to tell if it is or not, but here's the link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/26245823/WinMobile6.rar
password to unzip file is: 4shar1ng
I performed my 1st upgrade ever last night thanks to the help here. I now have WM6 Black running great on my TyTN. Let me know how that ROM goes. Thanks

DO NOT flash this until the gurus have had a chance to take a look.

oh where's the fun in that? we need another "OMG I DOWNLOADED SOME RANDOM ROM FROM SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW AND MY PHONE EXPLODED!" thread. ;-)

Looks like a HTC Universal rom to me. It also contains the Country_ID_Error folder and the Empty_Extended_Rom folder so it already passed through here at some point ...

BT S620 not booting .. urgent help!

Hello everyone ..
I need your help , I I installed the arabizer and rebooted ... and never reach home again! phone is jamming at BT LOGO and doesnt go any further.
took battery off , same thing! cant get activesync see the phone either
BTW, I recently Upgraded to WM6 Standard !!
any ideas?
Appreciate your time guys!

check the sticky for the unbricking your phone thread and also the hard reset bootloader thread. they should allow you to unbrick and reflash your phone. upgrade to ookba's 6.5 and you'll encounter less problems. im guessing your phone wasn't unlocked to apps since you're just hitting WM6 standard. you might wanna do that next time and prevent this problem again

Thanks dude,
I will check it and get back to you

But the direct link for application unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3468711&postcount=1
Was your BT not already WM6 as they have been dispatched for over a year with WM6.
B.T.W if you after a nicer looking better functioning device update to 6.1 or 6.5, the BT official ROM is posted in sticky too just incase you have to return phone ever "not that i thnk BT would even turn the phone on to check lol they pretty useless @ everything they do" yep i'm an ex BT subscriber
If you want to stick with BT ROM hard-reset again in link above

Sure I want, what do you recommend??? I will eventually need to have some Arabic support thought!
I bought it over Ebay with WM5, but got it upgraded to WM6 (still BT, and yes it looks stupid )

one your phone is properly unlocked for apps and you are settled in with a rom that works well for you, installing arabic support shouldn't be a problem. just make sure the Arabic support program you install will work with the rom you choose. search the forums and find all the info on the roms and find one that will suit you best. don't be scared to ask questions.. but diving head first without all the research can be sketchy. really really sketchy

tried few threads but I still cant flash any new roms !

okay i'm still working on no sleep but you seem pretty desperate and i think i know how you feel. A bricked phone sucks. So here's the threads and i'll explain as i give em to you. If you phone is locked up (bricked) and wont boot up past the Windows screen go here and follow the instructions to get your phone working again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493266 if you had to use that to unbrick your phone and prepare it for flashing flash your phone with one of these factory roms from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726. once your phone is working and you can access your home screen and start menu install this program to unlock your sim and applications from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789. this will allow you to flash through serveral of the new 6.5 roms such as the 3vo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718 and the NRGhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527496 rom series. If you absolutly can't getting it working messages us back and one of the makers of these roms will help you because im going to sleep. good luck
EDIT: if you absolutely can not unbrick check out this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540492

[Q] ROM upgrade question??

hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it

i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear
Regards,

[Q] A noob needs some help here...

So yeah im completely new to all this stuff
I wanted to install android on my phone, i found a guide to do it (i'd link it but i cant post links since im new) but i need spl 2.08 and my phone has 0.87, i tried to use the hspl4 tool to update it but it works only for 1.4 and above.
So i started investigating and found a way to install the 0.87 onilex, then i searched a way to get it o 1.4 or something but i dint found anything useful
After that i tried to install a rom, for that i used the RhodiumWAdvancedRUU, i used task 29 to clear the whole thing but after that i wasnt able to install any rom, it gets stuck on the boot screen
Any advice would be really apreciated

Nvm i figured how to install roms (i got a really cool one working right now)
But anyways i still need help to change the slp from 0.87 onilex to 2.0 or something like that
Can someone lend me a hand with it please?

Why do you need that if you are able to install custom ROM's...?
If you can flash ROM's, don't worry about it.

So the question once again is do you have a TP2 phone, because what you linked to will not work on this phone. HD2 ≠ TP2.

I'm going to say something that's likely to land me in the doghouse but every one of these threads are here for a reason; legacy or new. I don't mind folks asking questions and I've sure asked my fair number of them too. I get the tutorials may not be well written and can be somewhat "over your head" in nature but many of you need to take the time and read them. Don't just jump in and fire away asking questions that are available and answered...please do your homework. Many of you expect an automatic quick fix...it simply is not that simple. If you need SPL0.85.OliNex...it's been asked, answered and here. One more thing...take the time to edit your signature or let us know what you have, attempted or for the sake argument what is under the hood of your device...you got to tell us otherwise we don't know. I apologize up front for anybody I've offended but all of you newbies need to be more thorough when posting. You need to begin by telling us which device you're using. SPL2.08 is the HTC HD2. You might be in the wrong thread but it too makes my point; please take the time to read these threads. A lot of folks put a tremendous time into their efforts. We expect all of you to do the same, no shortcuts; take care!
