Hi there
Didn't know if this was the right place to post. But im developing this tool for flashing ROMs onto HTC devices. And when the flash process is done, im displaying the IMEI number on the display, so that the users can pack the devices back to their original box, without having to disassemble the unit, to find the right IMEI.
In the previous phones i developed this tool to, which covers MAGICIAN, ALPINE, BLUEANGEL, SABLE and BEETLES i did like this:
rtask a (enter radio bootloader)
rtask 7 (enter GSM Command debugging
AT+CGSM (get an info string that contains the IMEI)
I dont know if this was the right procedure, but it worked for me. But the new TyTN device doesnt recognize the rtask 7 command, and i just can't seem to find a way to get the IMEI no. now. If someone knows about this, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the wiki page with information of the Hermes bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
I think the problem is that when you do "rtask a" you are in radio bootloader, and then you cannot enter "rtask 7" because rtask is not a valid radio bootloader command.
Is your tool available somewhere?
Unfortunately not... were using it in out company, because HTCs tool only flashes 1 phone at a time. We are selling ~1 million devices per year, so we needed another tool so i've developed this tool, so we can flash up to 16 devices at a time. But the company owns the program and the code, so i can't share it. BUT i'm willing to answer any questions which i can answer, regarding the flashing process.
OK, regarding your answer, in the "old" days i could do an rtask 7 after entering radio bootloader.... but it doesnt seem to work anymore. But there might have been another way.
ok, have u tried without "rtask a"... I mean just issuing "rtask 7" and "AT+CGSM"?
I don't know what you're using to debug this, but in mtty or minicom you cannot see the output when you talk to radio/gsm bootloader. A good idea is to use a USB monitor software and see what the bootloader really replies, I listed some here: i like the one from HHD software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1023730&postcount=43
Let me know if you have a better / easier way to talk to the radio bootloader
Ahhh, ok... I tried with MTTY first, but i can just code it directly into my program. Its ready for sending and receiving data. Ill try the different setups, though my program instead, and come back when i know some more.
OK just tried a few different scenarios:
1)
rtask a (enter bootloader)
- Doesnt return with "USB>"
rtask 7
- returns "Invalid cmd..!"
AT+CGSN
- Returns "0" and a linefeed.
2)
This time without the rtask a
rtask 7
- returns "rtask 7USB>" and 0x13
AT+CGSN
- Returns "AT+CGSN Command Error !!USB>"
So... Still can't.
You should see something like 'AT-Command Interpreter ready', which bootloader version are you using?
Try issuing "[email protected]_USB" before "AT+CGSN" and see what happens...

I know, that was the message i got with all the previous phones. I'll try that command...
EDIT: Ok, when passing the command "[email protected]_USB" i get the message "Command Error !!". I passed it in between rtask 7 and AT+CGSN. But without the rtask a command.
Ok, just bumping this one last time. I hoped someone here could give me an option.
I'm curious too... if no one answers and you find it yourself please post it here, i'm suscribed to the thread.
YES... I got it.
After doing some testing and probing, i started throwing some random "rtask" commands to the phone... Well, turns out that "rtask b" is the old "rtask 7", which is the AT Command debugger.
So if anyone would be so kind to notify the dude whos doing this document
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
So he can keep it up to date?
And if you want to exit the AT Command Interpreter, you have to write "retuoR"
rtask a still works like before.
Thanks for your info, this is a great finding

Hello
I've got a problem. I want to flash my ROM to WM6.5.
I connectet my Phone with Vista over USB-Port.
The ROMUpdateUtility.exe start the GUI.The phone disconnect from Vista and the Install GUI shows me after few seconds the ERROR 260, that my Phone ist not connectet.
On my Phone I see the three coulored Monitor. On the left lower site is written "USB".
I tried to hold the connection with Vista ( i startet the Camera or other Applikation ) but the same problem.
Whenever i start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe the same. Disconnect and never connect again.
What can i do, that my phone stay connectet with Vista, so the Install GUI can make his work?
thx AcidC ( and sorry for my bad english)
run artemis uspl first
remove any sd card if u have
and then try it
Hi,
we tried with and without microSD card and or sim card.
The real problem is the connection which is interrupted and doesn't rebuild.
Independent of trying to flash the WM6.5 or USPL.
Silly question, but you never know..Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed in your PC and is your device connected to it? It is the "Activesync for Vista". The three coloured screen is normal, it is called Boatloader. After that you should have a progress bar of what you are updating (rom,radio..uspl..etc) on both PC and Artemis. In my case, when i got error [260] it's always because I forget to remove the SD card. I know you already tried this but keep it away from device when you flash.Your problem is maybe about Vista Drivers for Artemis, there are threads concerning it. Before you investigate further,try to install/reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center, change USB port and flash with a freshly booted PC. Hope you'll get the magic.
P.S. USPL flash is ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING TO DO!
Workaround: try to flash with a PC running XP
You need RUU for vista
Ok. I tried it again, but like u said, i need USPL and WM6.5 RUUs for Vista. But can u help me? I don't find somthing :-(
I consider myself beeing quite lucky for not having needed this even if I'm on Vista,hope helps for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337097
Use these drivers for Vista:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33662&d=1169888879
Yeahhh ... Now it works. Thank U all. And now i understand. I had to update my MobileSyncDriver in Vista. Thank U very much
Hi,
I'm trying to install hard-spl to flash my TC with wm6.5 rom that I have made with kitchen available here.
Problem: ActiveSync connection is ok, I can sync, explore etc. But when I run ROMupdateutility.exe it gives connection error 202.
I don't see any security messages about running enterbootloader.exe or anything else either which is weird, just this 202.
I have tried to change phone's "enable advance network functionality" setting, no luck.
I have 2 pc's with WinXP, other one has no internet connection, firewall or anti-virus software, getting exactly the same result with both pc's.
I have tried different usb cable, port, many many soft resets...
There's Symantec SmartPhone Security on the phone, I have disabled the auto-protect, but no luck.
Any ideas???
ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION
This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU.
Have you tried a hard reset make a backup first as it removes all apps installed and data 'phone numbers text's', I think with Symantec SmartPhone Security removed as long as activesync works it should be ok.
Hi, hard reset seems to be the last way to try. I have read this forum 2 nights now and not found any other ideas :-(
Running wm6.5
Hard reset might be THE solution for many people I think.
Ok..so first of all thanks for clicking on my thread.I hope somebody can help me flash a rom.I can't post the link because I'm new....I added a text file with the link(yes, it's on xda)
Post #9 describes a process of flashing this rom.
My device: HW6915 vG.39 G4(flash chip)
I am having trouble with this step pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000.
Yes I know what the bootloader is and I know how to get into it.So after I connect the device via usb(while in BL mode) i run the command mentioned above.The problem is that nothing happens(screenshot included),it just stays at the same command and does not progress at all.CPU usage is little to none.And if I do try to flash the rom anyway the progress bar on sable_RUU gets stuck at 1% and after a few minutes gives an error.I tried this on XP 32 and on 7 64.
Yes, this is my first post, so take it easy.
Thanks for any help.
hello. i have the same problem but my sable ruu progress bar freezes at 51% and then pop up error:201. help?
For you it's stuck at 51% because you also flashed the bootloader(CEBL.nbf).I chose not to as it's optional.Even so I'm still stuck on the original problem.
Anybody know the answer to this?
my problem is identical. i am also having trouble with pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000.after i run the command nothing happens,it just stays at the same command and does not progress at all as in your case. then when i run sable_ruu it freezes at 51%
did you try...
did you try opening the command prompt as administrator?
Code:
1. Click on start
2. Type command
3. Then either right click and then pick run as administrator or just CTRL + SHIFT + Click
If that doesn't work you can try disabling UAC by clicking start, typing UAC pick the first option then dragging the slider to the bottom and restart computer
You need to write SPL when phone is on and connected with ActiveSync, not in bootloader.

Ok it works thanks guys for all the help.
Will report back to your thread and tell you about my findings
Thanks,appreciate it
Thanks from me too. On the first look wm 6.1 runs faster than 5.0 and gps does not work (igo 2006 plus-can not find gps com port).
my suspicions on gps is it might be driver related in asset viewer (Settings/System/MyCPL 7) under GPS it used to state whether it was on or off in WM5 but now it says N/A

Yes the driver is indeed missing as this is ported from a hp without gps(i guess so anyway).First clue is that it doesn't include any base navigational software.
Second igo 8 reports ''gps driver not found''
n can you! help???

Beware dude this is higly experimental.There is no GPS for example.The rom is wm6.1.This is just for people who want to test and no it obviously not official.All files can be found at the link in the TEXT file I attached to my first post.
1.Connect your device to activesync(suggest a hard reset first,however it's optional)
2.Extract SPL vG.39.7z anywhere you want.
3.Run ''Command prompt'' (if using vista/7 RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
4.Enter this command pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000 (WAIT UNTIL IT FINISHES).This command replaces a file in the ROM which allows you to flash ''non-original roms'' basically software CID unlocking which allows flashing of ''cooked roms''
5.You will get warnings on your hp regarding a dll file(itsutils.dll) PRESS YES
6.Put your device in bootloader mode.[hold the two buttons next to the joystick(the round thingy) and shortly tap the reset button with your stylus
7.Open activesync,go to connections and untick allow USB connections
8.Extract 6915_ENG.7z and run Sable_RUU
9.Press on the big ''Upgrade button''
10.There will be a progress bar, when it's done it should say something like '' Update finished !!''
11.Go back to activesync and re-tick allow USB connections
I wrote this for everybody who's got trouble flashing roms on their hw69xx.Yep I had this problem too.
This detailed enough?

just follow the tutorial on this thread ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6391896&postcount=1
If you just want reset to default factory settings, you must press all together: power + green button + red button + reset with stylus (bothom of the phone).
If you want to change language of hw6915 you must reflash with ROM update utility, but make sure there are no rom update files for radio (RadioOS.nbf RadioFS.nbf) as they could brick GSM part of the phone.
Thank you for this link about how to reinstall os, but still i dont understand anythink in this tutorial about os. Can someone make a video turotial?
If you are following that tutorial be aware! Do not "task 28 55aa" with mtty - that will cause change of the device Product ID and you will not be able to use official HP upgrade tools anymore.
Why it is that you want to reinstall rom? Does hard reset not working?

I try to do hard reset, but stil i have same problems with this hp hw6915. Problems is: i cant remove some programs, windows is flickering lines. memory to low, i try increase memory by removing some programs but it does not work and t.t.
It is true that default software on hw6915 is slow - you should use memorycard for software to get better results.
If you are really willing to try to reinstall, I can only give you this one link

What you think about this?
How to write custom rom WM on hp iPAQ hw6915.
------------------------------------------------
1.Connect your device to PC by ActiveSync (download it from microsoft page)
2.Run "Command prompt" from folder "SPL vG.39" (if using vista/7 RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
3.Enter this command: pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000 (WAIT UNTIL IT FINISHES).
This command replaces a file in the ROM which allows you to flash ''non-original roms'',
basically software CID unlocking which allows flashing of ''cooked roms''
4.You will get a warning on your hp regarding a dll file (itsutils.dll), PRESS YES
5.Put your device in bootloader mode. (hold the two selection buttons next to the joystick
and shortly tap the reset button with your stylus)
6.Open activesync, go to connections and untick "Allow USB connections"
7.Extract "Sable_G4_1.21_UK_ROM.rar" and run "Sable_RUU.exe"
8.Press on the big "Upgrade" button
9.There will be a progress bar, when it's done it should say something like "Update finished !!"
10.Go back to activesync and re-tick "Allow USB connections".
The manual you quoted is correct for case if you want to upgrade to non-stock rom like some custom made Windows Mobile 6 rom (if you already found one), but you must ensure that there are no RadioOS.nbf and RadioFS.nbf in the folder where Sable_RUU.exe resides or else you might ruin your gsm.
If you just want to reinstall Windows Mobile 5 then there is no need for "pdocwrite spl -n0 -b 0x20000 0 0x80000" (as it is only needed to allow non-stock rom flashing).
So in order to do wm5 reinstall i just must follow my writen instruction but in this case i need skip 2, 3 and 4 steps, and start from 5 step? (of course first i need plug my device to PC by ActiveSync). ?
What is Radio?
In Sable_RUU.exe i found such files: CEOS.nbf, EnterBL, GetDeviceData and Sable_RUU.
In SPL vG.39 folder i found such files: Command Prompt, itsutils.dll, libeay32.dll, msvcr71.dll, pdocwrite und spl.
Can someone help me!
I was doing this update tranquility, I have a hp ipaq 6915 and use the windows7.
I did the first part of this
process, which installs the. dll. All right so far. I was
for the second stage and the program Sable RUU erased my
WM5, ok, so that after this process began to windows
search for the driver usb ipaq, of course, was
disconnected, then this error appeared Client_GetOSVer fail !! Error : 501.
Now I'm without my operating system.
And what I do now?
From what I undestood from your one before last post (the files included gave me idea) you have downloaded wm6 update utilities and rom. So in this case you must take all the steps.
If you want wm5 then you must download link http://multiupload.com/UTYDNBZ145 and just plug device to usb (before that put it in the bootloader mode: by pressing power button + button next to green + button next to red + reset with stylus), wait to connect and then run Sable_RUU.exe
About your question... Radio rom files are sometimes included in distributed upgrade files, so you must ensure they are deleted from the folder before start flashing. These files are usually responsible - there already been two cases to my devices - for killing the GSM chip data, so you can not use your device for phone calls anymore lets sey it is very bad scenario, so I am warning you to not to break your device!
Seems like you are left without any os at this very moment, so you should now install wm5 again and if you then want to upgrade wm6 repeat all the steps (including pdocwrite command).
If you are just stuck in bootloader google for UNI_ExitBootloader.exe
So bootloader mode is when my hp hw6915 screen show this: Serial Hp G.39 or when hp hw6915 screen is totaly off? When i try use UNI_ExitBootloader.exe it does not work because it say: Error - Cannot open USB port. So i try again and again but this time i disable ActiveSync... but still in not work. So i try an alternative method. I download Virtual box, then i install win xp, download Sable_G3_DEVICE_ONLY_hw6915-1.21uk ant try run. IT WORKS
THNAKS YOU JOGIJS ;-) Now i need your help to update my device from wm5 to wm6 o greater.
First of all - there are no official hp releases upgrade to wm6 or greater, but as I think you found one of unofficial upgrades to wm6 made by hackers.
Then - Sable_G3_DEVICE_ONLY_hw6915-1.21uk is the same as in my link http://multiupload.com/UTYDNBZ145 only difference that my file is without the radio roms.
About upgrading to wm6:
As I said before - now you need to follow instructions you posted before and do all the steps to upgrade to wm6 (remember about my radio warning! ) as you have found correct manual for wm6 upgrading.
If you understand russian you could try this wm6 upgrade - http://www.multiupload.com/QTP68IW7AM
About your question:
You are in bootloader mode when there are serial/USB + hp logo + G.39 on the screen.
If you have USB connectivity problems on w7 32bit, use this driver - http://www.multiupload.com/IE15IM9DHT Always check your device manager to ensure your Sable device is recognized!
One more question ;-) In my Hp Hw6915 i install wm for G3 chip, but i noticed that mine is G4 chip. So in future this can cause problems on mine device?
I think it is just a mislabel as mine current device is also G4 (as seen on hp's asset viewer) and it does not run into any problems by flashing OS
Maybe confusion is set by bootloader's title "G.39"... I think so, but I am not sure, what caused this for true.
Despite all - these roms and utilities worked for me (except for radio roms of course).
same problem
hello i have hp ipaq hw6915 in norvegian language i try to use your tutorial and now appear bootscreen (USB+Logo+vG.39) how can i do for resolve my problem because i try to HARD RESET and appear same USB+Logo+vG.39, you can reupload your application to other website?
under the boot screen it's .39. it's fine.
what do you want to do with your ipaq? still using wm 5 or wm 6?
I can give you a link on xda which has all the explanation on how to upgrade to wm 6 but if you want to stay on wm5, I suggest you do a hard reset. if you say after hard reset you still cannot remove program, I am quite confused. Because hard reset really put you in a basic start where everything is cleared.
try hard reset one more time...
if you still have problem, post again here... I will try to help you as much as I can...
i try HARD RESET 1000 times appear same USB(or SERIAL if is not connect on pc)+Logo+vG.39, i want to try WM6, if you can help me pls offer a solution.
download this file, unpack and run Sable_RUU
