Before anyone ask's I have read all the posts regarding installing the Hard SPL but still have the same problem.
When I connect through Vista 32 via WMDC it recognizes my device fine, I then follow the steps in the tutorials but as soon as I press the button to update the ROM image it goes into the 3 colour screen and then into the updating ROM progress bar were it sits at 0% for ever.
My WMDC has disconnected at this stage and then I get a screen saying communication error which is obvious as WMDC has disconnected.
Is this a WMDC issue/ Vista or am I missing something
I then have to soft reset and it just re boots into my standard ROM.
Any advice woiuld be greatly appreciated
hello
1) connect your polaris to PC
2) run update utility
3) when you see 3 color screen unplug USB and replug it immediately
4) your SPL flash may start
5) when flash end correctely your polaris reboot
6) Flash any ROM you want
Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried doing exactly as you have stated.
Unplug and reconnect in the 3 colour bar screen, after which it goes into the updating screen and sits at 0% for ages until communication error comes up.
My WMDC has disconnected and does not reconnect.
I'm at my wits end!!
Do it from MicroSD, before format it in FAT 32, after rename the file .nbh in POLAIMG.nbh e copy in your microSD, put microSD in Polaris e put it in bootloader ( photo + softreset ) you will see something like IPL, bootloader, SPLASH1, SPLASH2, gsm & OS, press POWER button and wait, it might be long,
never put off microSD, when it finishes soft reset, in the same way you can flash any ROM, always format microSD before.

I think hard-spl can not be installed with sdcard method!
Why not ??? With Trinity you can do it.
cheers guy's for the feedback ,but not sure about the SD method unless someone can confirm it works for Orbit 2/ Cruise.
Somebody out there must have had the same issue as me regards this....what did you do to resolve.
Cheers

But this is not Trinity...Try it...
I know You can flash polaris if you use jumpspl (this is used by hard-spl flash) or hard-spl (this is used by os and radio flash).
But if you have original spl on you pda, and you want to flash with sd card, you will not use nor jumpspl neither hard-spl.

hi there.
try to hard spl with your sd card not in the device.
go in to bootloader mode (BL mode - by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone and release when tricolor screen appears),
now connect the device to your pc (it should show usb in the white part)
flash what you may... hard spl first, oli's recomended by me.
ItayE,
Did you try the hard-spl flash with sd method? Does it work?
I didn't read it was Vista compliant so I ran it from a windows XP SP2 machine with Active Sync 4.5.
I did mine by taking out the SIM card and the SD Card then resettting and running the HardSPL.
HTH

Cheers for the advice guys I have managed to do it.
I used the Hard-SPL-V2 first which worked fine then I flashed to one of A.Serg roms, very nice and quick it is too.
However my reception bars are down to 2 from 4 that I previously had, although the reception seems ok.
Sim: O2 UK
Rom: 1.52.ASerg.4 WWE
The radio version I have is: 1.58.25.14
Now this is were I am confused.
Can I flash the radio Rom without affecting the o/s Rom, I have downloaded a couple of radio rom versions but not sure if you do it the same way as I am scared of over writing something.
Also could anybody advise if they are in UK on O2 which version gives best reception.
Any further advice much appreciated.

Im unable to upgrade the rom on my stock htc polaris.
im using vista with the 4.0 driver installed (dl'd from this forum).
I've turned off usb connection in win device center however when i try and install hard spl2 the progress screen sits at 0% and then times out with a 262 error.
does anyone have any ideas that can help me?
Use XP. I bet it works OK then...
4.0 Driver installed?
I have a stock Vista Ultimate, stock Device Center 6.1 and a German Orbit 2. It took me a while, but I finally managed it.
I didnt turn anything off, nothing. The only thing I had to change since the O2 ROM doesnt run unsigned stuff: the reg-entry to allow unsigned apps. Thats all.
Remove SD-Card
Connect to Device Center, wait till connection is fully established
Start the supplied RUU from HardSPL package
Follow instructions/click next/next/next...
Check your device, you have to confirm the execution of the loader
When the tri-color screen appears, unplug and replug, it'll upgrade the SPL and takes approx. 2 seconds
If you have no success at all: try to leave the device at the tri-color screen, quit the RUU and run it again, just leaving the device at the tri-color screen.
After a couple tries, I managed it and I'm happily running a stock HTC ROM instead of the O2 one.
Good luck, report back if it worked.

u must be in normal status i mean just whe u r synching with vista and the ppc should be on and then start the hard spl (u don't need to go in bootloader by yourself) it will go to bootloader automatically and then upgrade will be successfull.
so
connect ppc with wmdc vista and then when connected and start hardspl
tried all of this but still no joy.
i think running it on xp would be fine but i dont have an xp box

failing that, go get an (micro)SD card and format it as FAT32
bung the RUU_Signed.nbh inside the rom update onto the SD card and name it POLAIMG.nbh (or to make it flash with no user confirmation, POLADIAG.nbh) slap the SD into your device and reset into SPL
Thanks A Million!!!!

Hello everybody,
i have major problems after trying to flash bepe rom 0.66. The rom before flashing was bepe 0.59. The flashing finished fine, but after automatic restart, the windows mobile failed to boot, it stuck on green WM6.1 screen. After all, i tried to hard-reset my device, but nothing helped.
I can enter bootloader, but it is bootloader version POLA200 SPL-1.25.0000. When i try to flash ram, the flashing stucks at 0% and the error 262 occured.
So i have no idea what to do, and how i can reanimate my polaris. I have some questions, in another thread i have read that it isnt possible to flash the rom with this bootloader, i have to install the HardSPL, but i dont know how i can install hardSPL?
Another question is, can i flash the original rom without hardSPL?

i have tried this, but it changed nothing, always stuck in green WM6.1 Screen or by 0% flashing with error [262].
I'm not sure it works but you can try flashing hardSPL by microSD.
Take a microSD and format in FAT32, rename RUU_Signed.nbh in POLAIMG.nbh, insert microSD in Polaris, put it in bootloader, press the power button, it takes some seconds to start, wait.
If it works you can after flash the ROM with the same procedure.
Thanks for all replies!
This is a good idea batista, but i have some questions to this procedure.
Which rom would you take? first hard-SPL and after that a cooked rom?
How i can see that it works, cause you say you dont know wheather it works? Have you made experience with flashing from micro-SD?
Flash before HardSPL and after a ROM, i've Bepe 0.65 ITA.
You can see if it works if after you can flash a ROM, i've never flashed by miscroSD 'cause i've a PC with XP and i prefer to flash via usb but a lot of
people use to flash via microSD.
Trying to flash rom from microSD, has no satisfying effect as well. It stucks on a white screen with blue label "Loading...". Maybe its because 8GB microSD card and it is not able to load a rom from that one.
Please, i am happy about every post. Because i wont have destroyed 450 €
Do you format microSD before ????
Can you try with another one ????
If in FAT 32 doesn't work try in FAT 16.
No i cant try it with another one, but ordered another one on amazon, so on wednesday i hope i can try with another one. Formating with FAT16 is also impossible, i have no such choice in windows XP, but i think FAT32 would be the right one.
I think the main problem is, i have not installed hard SPL, but i dont know how to install without connection to windows xp. And i havent found any thread where it is mentioned to install hardSPL without connection to windows xp.
Have You tried to flash hardSPL via microSD or not ???
Same procedure of ROM flashing.
yes both hardSPL and direct bepe 0.66 but none of them worked. both stucking on loading... screen. Maybe there is a problem with 8GB hc micro sd?
Remove microSD and SIM and try flashing hardSPL via PC with Polaris in bootloader.
i also tried this, but it stucks on 0% updating and on windows xp the 262 Update Error appear. I will give this one a retry tomorrow. But i am not very hopefull.
I'm really sorry, i hope someone has a solution for your problem.
another user named sassa80 had exactly the same issue like you. he did not HardSPL first and tried to flash a new radio rom. the story ended with a RMA return of his HTC.
Hi Incubant,
You may try to flash an *original* ROM renamed to POLAIMG.nbh trought microSD. I used that procedure with a Sandisk 16GB, FAT32 and it worked ok. Before that, mine were kind of bricked on the SPL loader.
I think the step I may have missed the first time was to unplug and replug usb cable the first time I run the update on windows, right after the reset when on the palm screen it said to do so (after all on windows, the application were telling to *not* unplug the cable for 10 minutes). Anyway, if I recall correctly, I failed to update the SPL and at the end of flashing a beta of 6.1 it stopped at 99%. So... I was stuck - couldn't reflash anything. Nevertheless, the procedure that I mentioned on the first paragraph did solve it. After that, I had no problem installing the HardSPL and any other ROM.
Good luck
Another one here with the same problem.
Tried everything I can think of and still stuck on the 6.1 boot screen.
The people who are having problems above with the latest flash e.t.c, which brand of device you using? XDA Orbit II?
For me, it's an O2 Orbit II.

I thought you might say that, I also have an XDA Orbit II and have noticed a different set of behaviours under the same conditions as compared to the HTC Touch Cruise users. It appears that an Orbit II and a Touch Cruise are both a Polaris but an Orbit II is not a Touch Cruise if that makes sense. Apart from the quite apparent visual differences between the two, are there any internal differences we are not aware of? The Orbit II always appears to act differently, some tweaks/roms/advice have outcomes different to the touch cruise, especially certain reg tweaks.
From using the latest bepe ROM it appears to be quite buggy, also reported by other users, look at bepe ROM thread. Hopefully bepe which deal with the bugs because his ROM, in my opinion, is by far the best.
I too had the STUCK-AT-GREEN-SCREEN issue when I flashed the latest ROM, I waited about 5 minutes, then HARD-RESET, then when presented with the GREEN-SCREEN again for a few minutes, I pressed one of the upper buttons (green phone / red phone).
I hope you sort the problem out.
my Polaris SPL-1.52.0000

do you use windows XP? if vista you should try on XP..
Remove your SD card before flashing !
Unplug and replug your device when you see 'Replug device'
thanks you !!my computer is xp,i have three data cable,none works!enter bootloader or Remove SD card doesn't works too!

Well, this
- Get a MicroSD card that is formatted as Fat32. The card must be formatted as Fat32 otherwise it will not work. It doesn't need to be blank or freshly formatted (but it wont hurt if it is)
- Find the ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "POLAIMG.nbh". Depending on the source of your ROM file, it may not be named RUU_Signed.nbh, but just rename the nbh file you obtained to POLAIMG.nbh
- Copy the file POLAIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD card
- Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone. Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears.
- You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
- After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.
Hi all,
I encounter some problems with the polaris. When I want to use the camera I encounter the message:" unable to initialize....".
I also encounter problems with the FM radio: when I want to use my radio, it starts up, you see the screen, but no sound radio stations can be found. This means no radio functionality as well.
I've perfomed soft reboots but also hard reboots (so it initializes completely again). I also tried new ROMs. Nothing helps. Anybody recognizes this problem? Looks like that it has problems initializing the radio/ camera function.
Is there an update available which could fix this problem? My device is not damaged at all. Or would there be an other solution, as far as you know? Furthermore, the phone works perfectly. Hopefully you can help me with this.
Thanks!!!

First flash ur pda with :

or
http://www.4shared.com/file/54732373/c9f753c5/Radio_Murata_1582514.html
If that doesnt work.Keep the one murata radio on your pda and flash another win mobile rom(without radio rom).
I prefer khanx vanilla v6 (radio isnt working, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398796 ) or swtos roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404977 )
look also:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414436
Other radio roms are crap....
2 ALL. My FM radio very very poor, allways noice & appear and disappear signal, in same moment - mobile phone samsung about 200$ give 100% better quality
any suggest ?maybe need forget to use radio in cruise ???
Hi Badguy,
Yesterday I tried to flash my pda, as you said, with the radio rom "http://www.4shared.com/file/46948092...a_1582123.html". the update ended up in 99% completeness. So now....I have the tri color error (so I cannot use my phone). Hopefully I will be able to restore it again.
You have any tips?
Michel
hi.
Yes i forgot to tell you, that u have to flash HARD SPL first, then u can flash any custom rom and any radio rom.
Now, u have to flash ur pda with original touch cruise rom, which will restore your pda to normal working mode.Original rom is on CD, which was in box, when u bought ur phone.When the iriginal rom is flashed, u do the hard spl, then u can flash any software made for polaris.
Hi,
Thanks for the info...I am not aware that I received any CD's with original roms.
If I have not received any CD with Rom on it, can I not just update the ROM with ,for example, Diamond r7 Rom?
I tried this, but I didn't succeed. Normally I connect the phone to my pc, then enter the 'bootloader mode (from hard SPL)' on my pda by starting up the bootloader on my polaris and then I run the new ROM from my computer. When I use this procedure, the ROM is updated. I used this procedure as well for this 'flash'.
Since I have now the permanent tri-color, and therefore cannot enter bootloader, how can I update my ROM to the original version (or to any other ROM)?
Any further tips?
Thanks!
Michel

U need this rom, This version u should get with the phone.But it doesnt matter now. just ON/OFF the phone, connect it with cable and pc. Start flashing. Then make hardspl.
Did u hear for flashing through microsd card?? All what u must do is:
1. U have to have memory card in mode fat32.
2. Put onto the memory card rom file. Usually is named something.nbh .You have to rename it to POLAIMG.nbh .
3. put the memory card into the PDA and u have to go to bootloader mode ( press the camera button, make soft reset with stylus and u have to press camera button all the time, until u get 3color mode.
Radio roms, splash screens, roms , all, u can flash with microSD mode.

Hi,
I have tried the above steps. I have downloaded the rom, upacked it and renamed into POLAIMG.nbh
I pressed the camera button all the time and performed a soft reset with stylus. The following happens:
1. The three color comes again (it says: POLA100, SPL-1.25.0000, CPLD-2; in the red part; also in the above right corner of the red part it says: RUUNBH).
2. Then it turns into a white screen with: 'Loading...'.
3. After that it says...'checking...'
4. After this it says:
"0025002
not allow"
Then it returns again to the three color with same text as above.
Do you know any tips to solve my problem? Hopefully you can help me!
Kind regards,
M
Here I am again.
I now concluded from the text in the red section, that I indeed don't have Hard-SPL on it. I think this causes the fact that it is 'not allowed''. Would you agree on this one?
This means that I need to install HARD-spl from the tri-color situation.
This is the next big challenge I think. Do you have tips for me? Hopefully we will [email protected]
Greetz,

badguy999 was trying to tell you that about 3 or 4 posts back. Yes you must HardSPL your device before you load anything other than the Stock ROM. Read and follow the following thread to hardspl:

Hi,
I know that I need to install Hard SPL and I have read the threads you mentioned (before). The thing is, how can I install Hard SPL without the use of any active sync. In other words: how can I install Hard SPL by using the SD-card?
If you can help me with this...it would be great.

U cant. First u have to flash original rom to make the pda working again. Then u can install hardspl through cable. original rom can be flashed with microsd method.
Are u sure that u have memory card in fat32??Cause error u described few post before.
Hi,
When I want to flash it with original rom (rename the rom to POLAIMG.nbh, it starts loading, than checking, and than it says 'not allow....and a number' See also a few posts back. I formatted the SD to FAT 32
Somehow I'm not allowed to install the original rom. Therefore I thought that I needed to install Hard SPL.
Or should I press a combination of buttons on my phone? When I press the camera button and then soft reset, the same happens, when I just reset (he tries to load the image, but does not work).
I'm now allmost through all my options here. Hopefully somebody can help.

camera problems
Hi,
as far as i understand the "cannot initialize" camera problem is a know HTC hardware problem and the only solution to it is to send the phone to HTC for board replacement.
(it might suddenly start working for some time - i saw reports that it happens , but than the problem will probably return -- there are lot of touch cruise users i saw with this problem and the only known solution i saw was HTC repair)
Is true that the polaris is "weak" phone. mine had trouble with connecting to 3G. And during calls, persons didnt hear me well and from time to time i was muted . So, they change motherboard.
Polaris has really weak signal strenght. Far far better signal i got from tytn2 and trinity.With regular radio rom...
Hi,
I'm kind of new around here.
My problem is as follows:
- TyTN running PaysRom for about 9 months
- Started to get very sluggish
- Unable to get signal
When i booted my HTC the 'R' and 'G' that appear on screen and used to have values in front of it now display 'none'.
So, I connected it to my PC, 'activesynced' it and tryed to install a new ROM, hoping it would solve the problem.
But the new ROM wasn't installed sucessfully and now all I got is a brick.
I can't even connect it to ActiveSync since it's not recognized.
Is there any solution to my problem?
TIA,
hype
Can you get to the Bootloader?
Yes..
By pressing the Ok+Power+Reset on the bottom button, I see the 'RGB'+white thingie, that I believe is the bootloader..
What SPL do you have? Is it Hard SPL V7(2.10)?
If it is, use the sd card method to install a new ROM.
remember to backup your card 1st.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of the ROM you want onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert card into Hermes and reset into bootloader.
3. If all things have been done right, follow the prompts....
If the radio ROM has died, I'd suggest trying to flash the Shipped Stock ROM 1st and see if that actually fixes the problem with the blank values on R & G. WM06 upgrade of shipped carrier ROM should also work.
Cheers...
Tks for your response.
I tryed the SD Card method already, with no sucess.
The red stripe shows as follows:
Code:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.03
Everytime I tryed on another ROM I always perfomed it using SafeSPL.
Since I don't have 2.1, what can I do?
Tks for all ur help.
What happens when you try and flash a ROM over?
Do you get any kind of error?
You need to find the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. WM06 upgrade should be OK as the CID should match.
Put Hermes into bootloader and connect to PC after unticking "Allow USB Connections" in Activesyncs settings on the PC.
Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe file of the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. ven though activesync won't etect it, the flash file should. Follow the prompts.
Good luck as this seems to be the only way to fix this.
Good Luck...
You might be able to flash a Stock WM5 ROM using the SD Card method. Worked for me when I had SPL 2.03. In fact that's the only ROM it would let me flash over when mine bricked.
