unlucky buying...

hey...
i hope you guys can help me out.
my problem is ,that i bought an herold witch is stuck in the bootloader !
the need little stripes won´t dissapear by any type of reset.
there a so many threads that stroke that a bit... but none only for that specific propblem...
i don´t know by witch method the thing was flashed so i can´t help you there.
i hope
and yes i tried the search
so thanx in advance

You could always try flashing the original ROM. They can all be found here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/5EWZ4
If that doesn´t work it would be helpful to know the SPL version, I can´t tell by the picture the numbers are too small.

OH my god !!
Thx a lot ! for tha fast answer....
but i can try it in a few days....
will post the result then
thx

from looking at the picture you included, I can see your IPL is v1.xx
There have been many people who have permanently bricked their phones by trying to hardspl and uspl ... so make sure you do some research before attempting to do those..

If it goes to bootloader automatically, and it has an SPL of 1.x, it's probably already permanently bricked. Your only option is to bring it to a repair center. Sorry.

i will be back next week on tuesday i think ... then i can look witch spl i have.
hey. and thx for your help already
i am pleased for every hint you have for me !!
could that be a solution for me too ??? ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1911779

ok...
my SPL is 1.08.0001
IPL the same
i am now trying to reflash the original firmware... lets see...

hm...
invalid flashingtool.... error 300 ????
it says i need a newer flashingtool...... WHAT !!??!?!
i now figured out that it is an italien device.. but the italien firmware also didn´t work...
do anyone has an idea ??? PLEASE....

Like I said, if it's stuck at bootloader and has that SPL, it's probably permanently bricked. Either the Radio or SPL or IPL was accidently overwritten. I was researching and found something that maybe be useful if it's the radio being overwriten but don't have the knowhow to port it to the Herald... yet.

hm...
i just tryed : 1. Kill ActiveSync process - wcescom.exe on your computer.
2. Attach USB-cable to device.
3. Run programm from attach, select "\\.\WCEUSBSH001" from
port's list and click Ok.
4. Type (type himself, not copy/paste) in window:
password BsaD5SeoA(press Enter)
ruurun 0(press Enter)
ResetDevice(press Enter)
and after a hardreset..... the screen went green....so... Step forward or did i now find the perfekt brick procedure
what means a greenscreen ?? btw

so now back in rainbow-mode
is there a way to CID unlock the thing with PUTTY
short before it enters bootmode it displays "searching for sd-card"
flashing from SD-Card ??? possible ???

Radio Rom messed up.

Hi, I just bought this phone off craiglist and the sell isn't picking up my calls anymore.
She sold me a corrupt radio rom phone and i can't seem to fix it.
I read all the guides and spent the whole night trying to fix it.
after failing many times, and desperate for help, I'm starting a new thread.
What i know:
this problem started when i tried to unlock my phone with the unlocker v3. the phone kept stopping at 0% and none of the recovery steps work.
I tried hard SPL and it worked. and OS only rom works.
so I have a type 1A brick.
My phone says:
Herm100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
NO GSM on OS start up.
I tried this fix:
but the problem is, my MTTY, does not show USB, it says CMD, not matter how many times i press enter.
METHOD 1
Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections".
Put your Hermes in bootloader mode
Connect device to computer using USB cable.
Open mtty.exe and select USB port, then connect.
Hit enter twice, you will see the "USB>" prompt.
Type the following commands (do not copy paste!!!)
USB> password BsaD5SeoA
USB> set 1e 1
USB> erase a0040000 c80000
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000
USB> erase a1940000 640000
USB> set 1e 0
after i do all this, I press the ok (the one of the left side) button and power button and reset to get back into bootloader.
then i run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Unlocker V3
and i still get 0%. whats going on?
any help would be great.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong, I read people are getting it to work with this method, but it's not working for me.
Thanks

can somone tell me thats this means in mtty?

Ok, I was able to flash a Rom with Radio rom on it,
I tried to flash this rom on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371266
and it fails at 0%, then i use a att rom and flashing it to the phone works!
I got my radio rom back, but I only see the radio when there is no sim card inside.
But as soon as i put in a sim card, NO GSM comes back.
does anyone know why?
thanks in advance!

that rom u tried to flash is not made for the hermes

Yes, i know, But i read from barton on another thread, he used a Hima rom and it worked.
so it worked for me too. it doesn't really get to flash it. It stops at 0%.
I also flash it with active sync.
I just need to get the radio working with Sim again now.
maybe other should try what i did too.

oh oh.....its coming back to me now......installing the hima rom reformats the radio sector or something like that. i remember reading about this some time ago.....and i think pof managed to replicate that process, so you dont actually have to install the hima rom. the link is in the wiki somewhere

I tried most of the stuff on the wiki none of them work, but can you point me to it anyway? maybe i missed it.
thanks.
edit:
i tried fixing it using unlock version V3a, but it screws up my radio again.
going to try V2a next.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5
here's the link, but it looks like you already tried it. see the links at the bottom of that section, the "related forum threads"

thanks but i tried that.
Ok, i reflash hima rom. and this time, i did the unlockv3a flash.
now my radio is back with the sim in.
but i lose my sim connection when i try to call.
thanks in advance.
Edit:
WHAT THE HELL!!! ARGH I'm so close!!!
the No GSM thing is random, it comes and goes away.
how can I make it stay?
thanks in advance.

I get 0% flashing now too.
Had a hellish time, my radio seems to have been dying over weeks with more and more "no gsm" message regardless of the radio version.
Tried the official t-mobile uk wm6 rom and it crashed (no percentage dialog appeared on the mobile, only the "usb" connected tri colour)
Now when I tried to go to radio 1.50 it is stuck at 0%
Eventually disconnected it and I get the tricolour now and nothing seems to work

try using Mtty, and select USB in the drop down.
Then in the cmd> area, type "set 16 0"
should bring u back to OS with radio still screwy.
then try that Hima Rom link i posted 1 page back.
When flashing the hima rom, just stop it once it says there's an error.
then flash it with a normal rom with radio.
thats how i got my radio back, but it's still screwy.
I wonder if anyone here can help out.
Thanks

That has worked so for, thanks.
FYI I have a bad block (638) which "task 2a" seems to do nothing too.
What is the proper output of a successful task 2a?
Will try the rom soon.

I downloaded the rom but neither exe works.
Sorry a bit of a noob at this.
What I do now?

did u enable active sync and use the NO-ID.exe?

note:cross post
sorry for the late reply
i have been dealing with this for 3 days and finally managed to run official AT&T rom for 4 days wout hard reset.
there is a method dumping an official himalaya rom to hermes. az pof explained in one of his posts all commands except radio commands are different in himalaya so it is safe to use dumping method.
it basically deletes everything in radio rom so you can install official rom.
PS: at first install official rom stucked %12 i said damn but in second try %15 third try; success
i am at work now i dont have the link of method but try googling or searching my posts (not too much )
i hope it solves your problem
bartan

does NO GSM still appear once in awhile?
thanks

Hi
I am back. I have been trying to rom update but no luck so far. It just stalls at 12%.

I gave up on this.
it cost 270 ish to repair it from HTC.
so i drew my phone against the wall and it felt a lot better.
still works tho.
for 270 ish, I can get a new phone.

It lives!!!!!
I used the official HTC rom including radio.
Firstly I put the phone in bootloader mode.
I then ran MTTY and executed:
Code:
USB> password BsaD5SeoA
USB> set 1e 1
USB> erase a0040000 c80000
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000
USB> erase a1940000 640000
USB> set 1e 0
I then ran:
Code:
USB> info8 (which returned a bad block - 638)
USB> task 2a
I then closed mtty but did not reboot my phone.
I then ran the rom update utility with the rom and the phone flashed fully (give it plenty of time).
Who knows how stable it will be but damn it feels good to have my phone back.
Calls out are confirmed working so far.
Good luck all

CONGRATS!
for me None of those commands work.
I kept getting errors.

hey zero when you're in bootloader how did you get mtty to work? it keeps saying "usb port cannot open" when i try

I still had SIMlock so I started over the procedure with Niki-SuperCID
Here I made the STUPID mistake to hardspl while I FORGOT to SSPL first!
so this is what happened next: rom update halted at 95% I got error and began
recovery. (1) Ever after this I get ERROR[262] whatever I try and update halts at 0%.
I tried to flash the ROM again but then I get error [294]:INVALID VENDER ID
everytime I reset the phone I get red-green-blue screen :
NIKI100
SPL-1.22.0000
CPLD-4
Upgrade ROM code error

XDA manipulator on Polaris/Touch Cruise

Hi everybody,
I recently bought a serial-to-miniusb cable on ebay and am expecting it to arrive in a couple of days. My intention is to reset the life timer/call duration on my polaris by using the xda manipulator. I would like to hear your opinion on this. Can I try it riskfree? Will it work?
Thanks!

Use Mitty.exe instead to RESET CALL TIMERS.
Read the guide and software are on the forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2027058#post2027058
XDA Manipulator is very unlikely to be able to reset the counters on a Polaris and trying it would be very risky.

Thank you carryo,
So it seems I will have to install olipro 1.10 . Could you please guide me through this step? I know how to turn the phone into bootloader mode. What next? Should I connect it to the PC via USB ?
Thanks again

and wouldn't it be dangerous to install this SPL olipro 1.10 on me device? I mean I am not a specialist and don't know, what's the difference between older and newer spl?

Hi buekly,
Careful that hardspl for htc hermes, tq

Well then, can anybody suggest another way to reset call timers? I have done a big search and found nothing useful...

just download that mtty.exe, flash HardSPL for Polaris and that's it
the rest is on the help page

Download ATcommander for your phone and try [email protected]=270F,270F should reset call timers to 0

You should use the HardSPL for Polaris which instead of olipro 1.10 which was a version or an older phone. You can find the file and instructions on the Sticky thread in the Polaris Upgrading etc. section. HardSPL won't damage your phone and will make sure that you can easily recover from anything else you change.
Then use Mitty.exe to reset the counters.

OK, now this is getting more and more interesting. Let me tell you about my progress. I made a Hard SPL for my Polaris. Then, I ran Atcommand. I insterted the following:
ate1----> 0
ate0----> OK
[email protected]=270f,270f ---> Error
When I saw that error, I remained quite disappointed. However when I checked the call duration in settings/device information I saw it was 00:00:00. But also, I saw in Identity that the phone doesn't have an IMEI number. So, I inserted a SIM card, made a call and, when I checke again, I saw that all the information was back, i.e. call duration back to 40 hours, IMEI reappeared. Why is that happening? These commands seem to oinly apparently remove the call duration, but when you insert a sim card, everything is back.
I tried another option, through MTTY. I disabled USB connection in Sync, turned the phone into bootloader mode, connected, ran MTTY, selected USB. But when I enter rtask b, see what I get below in the image. And that's it! After this text appears, I can't type anything else. I have to restart the MTTY.
So please help with any suggestions, cause I'm already run out of them. Thanks

which spl are you using does your spl say security unlocked at the top? If not try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 .I just use ATcomander to reset my timers When you use rtask b it just puts the phone in diagnostic mode you can proberly connect via a com port (after installing drivers) but i dont think we can use many AT commands with the polaris spl.

yes, I used namely this spl and this I told you what happened. Do you also have a polaris and it worked reseting timers on yours?

Yes i have a polaris and have just reset the timers with ATcommander using [email protected]=270f,270f,ATcommander should return with a 0,now all timers a 00:00:00.
The only thing i can think of is i dont think hard spl fully security unlocks under mtty try "rtask a" then "setinfo" and see if your SECU_FLAG=0.
Also what radio are you using?

no really, it isn't working:
1) when i type ate1, it gives 0, then atv1, it gives OK, then [email protected]=270f,270f it gives ERROR. I'm run out of options. I mean there's something wrong with the last command. Maybe I should change it or what? Maybe I should enter another value? I tried [email protected]=9999,9999 it also shows ERROR.
2) I tried "rtask a" in mtty, but it shows the same text as in "rtask b" (see previous attatchment).
My radio version is 1.59.42.15

OK, I tried checking secu flag
I typed "[email protected]?AA" it showed "@secu_flag 1 0" What does it mean?

@secu_flag 1 0 means your phone is not fully security unlocked i can't remember how i got mine to secu_flag 0 it was using [email protected]=2,0 or something like that.I'll have a look how, you dont need the ate or atv commands there just for displaying results.

OK then, why are the timers then resetting temporary after I introduce these commands? By temporary I mean they are back again when I insert a sim card. And also, after I introduce these commands IMEI disappears in system/device information/identity. It says "IMEI not support", and when I dial *#06# I get "Failed". When sim card inserted or phone restarted - everything reappears.

Right i found [email protected]=7,1 relocks security setting,and [email protected]=7,0 unlocks them,if [email protected]=7,0 doesn't work with your radio use the polaris unlocker and flash OliNex patched radio go through the all three steps then try [email protected]=7,0 and then [email protected]=270f,270f,I tried reseting the timers when locked and got a error,so with some hopes that will work for you ,Then flash your radio back when finished.

do you mean I should use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375338 ?
I downloaded it, however by the end of the thread I can see a lot of complaints from users, claiming that the signal either disappeared or reduced by 80% after using it. Have you tried it?

Yer thats the one i used,as i said flash your original radio back after you have finished to 1.59.42.15 or whatever you where using because i think olinex radio is just patching the simlock i think ? but is not very good for everyday use.

Hi, can you please write down what is on the bootloader screen ?

hi aze2learn thx for trying help me
ok
on the boot loader screen
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
thx alot aze2learn

Well, since you already have hardspl 2.10-Olipro, please make sure you flash WM6 (green welcome screen) or above because WM5 (blue welcome screen) for sure will make the device show 'No GSM' if it writes an old radio version. Try original rom for your device here first : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
It is recommended to use radio version (GSM) from your carrier. You can also try other radio (if you want to) from here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms . Some say 1.47.30.10 is the best in terms of power consumption but maybe not suitable for others (depends on carrier/geography)
Note : Only original ROMs from HTC/carrier have radio. Cooked roms don't include radio.
All the best
ps : Only HardSPLed device will allow flashing extracted radio rom. Stock SPL will stop the device from flashing.

ok man thx alot i will try and i will tell u but tell me how to flashing it by pc or by sd
thx

Try RUU first (flashing through pc using usb cable) but if you're having problem such as error 260 (no connection), you can use sdcard method since you already HardSPL your device
ps: sdcard method only works on FAT32 filesystem and non-SDHC microsd.

i tried during the pc and it gives me error 262
and i tied during the sd stoped on gsm step
i dont know what to do??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Extract RUU_inside.exe (use winrar or 7zip) RUU_inside.exe is in the original HTC ROM package ... get the RUU_signed.nbh and put into a new folder.
Then use RUUWrapper from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737 and put it in the same folder with RUU_signed.nbh
Boot the device in bootloader mode. In RUUWrapper, tick 2.10 (new bootloader) and is it Hard-SPL. Follow the instruction.
All the best
ps : please check your PM

hi man
its stoped again on 11%
my mind will be pumped and i dont know what to do
i do everything i think
i will be crazy

maybe your battery drained out already? if so, try turn off the phone, charge it for 30 mins and try again.
ps: have you read your PM?

its already full charged

Please don't worry too much. Since your device already HardSPL, your device can still be revive.

i hope it will be aliveagain but how?
i am too tired from searching on the internet about this prop
and i didnt get any resolve for it
i think u have mor experiance than me and u can search more deeper than me
i will be here tmorrow maybe u can find a selution
i am from egypt and u ?
