Ther must be a way for UNBRICKING

Hi, I searched a lot on forum and found a way for flashing from sdcard in Hermes forum.
There for i took a RUU_signed.nbh file copied to the fromated SDcard
- renamed it to HERAIMG.nbh (similar to HERMIMG.nbh on hermes forum)
--> and put the phone in bootloader
--> it starts searching sdcard
AND THEN
--> a processbar appears and it says "Checking SD contents"
BUT
--> "Invalid Certificate" - press any key.
So there must be a way to flash from SD card.
I will try different RUU and tell more.
Someone wanne help?

It must be named
"HERAIMG.nbh"
then it stops on white screen saying: Checking SD contents
But i got
Invalid Certificate

AND when it is an official .nbh extracted from RUU_xxxxx
it stops for 5sec on
"Checking SD content"
but the processbar doesn´t change and then it goes to bootloader without changing anything.
????????????????????????????

I will test this method too, i saw some flash of SD hen going into bootloader mode, did'nt know there was an option like this i will post my experiences

I tried these two RUU nbh's:
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship
- RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_1.8.405.1_02.71.90_Ship
I've firtstly formatted my SD card, then copied NBH file's to my SD and named them HERAIMG.nbh.
Both times there was only a statusbar that did not proceed loading, and my continues in bootloader after 3 seconds...
Also got the Invalid Certificate error when I copied the WM6 nb of ASerg and renamed it to HEARIMG.nbh.. what is this certificate? and can it be edited in a way so we can flash??
Talking about unbricking anyway, can Herald users use Platform Builder?? i read in a thread that you're phone has to have KITL, but i don't think the Herald has KITL.. Can anyone who knows for sure please tell?

The .nbh are "signed" os files. you can generate these fiels by "nbhgen.exe" but i didn´t get it to work with an RUU - it allways says "image is corrupted" because it only contains OS.nb
when you extract an RUU_signed.nbh out of the RUU_xxx.exe it contaisn splash.nb, os.nb, extrom.nb, spl.nb etc.
That´s the certificate = the singend nbh

So that won't be an option I guess... too bad
but does the Herald have KITL in bootloader mode? if so, you could use Platform Builder to unbrick your phone.. that would be very very sweet.
And what is this mtty thing? should be some funky stuff to

MTTY never worked for me - but that could be my system. And KITL - i don´t know what this is. sorry.
I sent it to O2 and hope they will repair some minor bugs and also the booting problem.

Little thready about unbricking a Hermes with KITL + Platform Builder:

Hmm i'll have a look around to find out what this mtty thing does..
btw: KITL = Kernel Independent Transport Layer, it is the windows ce kernel debugger interface

Is there anyone continueing papamopps' solution to unbrick Herald?

^^no need anymore, you can just use an official WM6 RUU

That´s not right. For unbricking a XDA Terra we still need a soulution.
The Terra IS NOT the P4350!!!!!
And the RUU updates are for P4350 (and in some cases for VPA compact)
But not for terra - we have to wait for an O2 update....

Vendor Id
I have a Vodafone CID(?) locked bricked HTC P4350.
Using the HTC updates I cannot unbrick my phone, because it keeps saying "Invalid Vender Id".
This unbricking with flashcard could be a solution for me.

I already try with official rom, but my herald is still brick, i can not syncronize the herald with pc to run the official rom.
It is freeze in inicial boot with HTC logo.
help, please anyone....

You can't simply place the rom file to the card and hope the device will read it in this way. In my time working for pda service, we used WINHex to format the card (to RAW-unformatted) and then we wrote the rom file in RAW format to the card. Your card looks like an endless stream of hexazecimal values. Only winhex recognises this format, if you insert the card to the computer, it will simply ask you to format it. After inserting this card into the pda, it will start the upgrade . The order of this operation was, as I remember, to fill the card with 0000 values (there is an option in WINHex, a kind of format) then write the rom file to the card in RAW mode. Then insert the card to the device.
Another way was to use MTTY, connect the pda to the computer (PDA should be in bootloader), open MTTY and connect with the device. ActiveSync should be killed before this. In MTTY in the terminal window write "set 14 0" then remove the data cable, then close MTTY, reconnect data cable then run the RUU.
These methods worked on HP Ipaq's wich we were repairing in our service center some time ago. I don't know if it works for herald or htc products because their RUU has a different way to register with the device.

Where to start?

I have an HTC Innovation, Qtek 9100...also wizard i think, Os: 1.1.7.8
GSM 1.4.10, SPL 1.01, Ipl 1.01, The language is in french.
I want at least to change the language to english, but i want it also a little updated.
I don't know what g3, g4 means and how to find out what version i have.
Please tell me where to begin to upgrade the phone, here are to many post and are some terms i don't understand like g3, g4, ipl, spl.
I don't think the phone is locked.
I also have vista
Thankyou and please guide me a little.

Start Here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
You have a G3 device
Here is a link to flash an english rom to your device
ftp://xda:[email protected]_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship.exe
it is not an upgrade basically the same as you have now but in english
here is a link to all the files you need to unlock the wizard both sim unlock(any sim card can be used) and cid unlock( You can install any rom)
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for rar file is scousemartin
Once you have all this installed, you can flash any wm5/6 rom available for the wizard

thankyou, u've cleared things up for me ...
just how u know that is ia g3 or g4, g i think g stands for generation right??.....
found the info from the links...thanks again..
lanst question, after u what is the best wm5/6 to install onto the wizard? what rom posted here? i see here some tnt rom, are they good?

I use tnt 1933 from here and have no problems with it ,i would use radio 2.19 as well,as people have issues with missed calls etc, a link for that is there too
I know you have a g3 as your ipl and spl are 1.01 if it was a g4 it would be 1.01.xx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341550
download links are located in post 3

you know what is not working? the link to the original wwe rom, from the ftp, looks like it is not there anymore!? can u verify that? or is my computer the problem?

yes i have just checked it isnt available anymore, in fact none of them are there anymore. download my wizard unlock pack and unlock the wizard with lokiwiz2b how to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474

hope this is my last question!
What i have missed or what am i doing wrong?
so, i installed the rom from your unlock archive and it is ok, my wizard is in english now
i tried my simcard and it works so that results that my phone is not sim locked so i didn't use any of the sim unlock tools.
now i try to flash the tnt rom and gives me : error 295 and says something like imposible to use on your device and says to use some newer nfb file
...and what is the extended rom?
now i am reading: You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
so this means i can't install this rom if i have ipl spl 1.01?
reading a tutorial while updating this post!, so i red that i have to install a tmobile rom before i can install any rom? is this true?

Which rom did you install the button rom? or the o2 rom?
if it was the button rom did you follow these instructions
1 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to a folder on your desktop
2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
3 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
4 - Guarantee that your phone is connected via activesync with the computer
press the windows key + r and type cmd and press enter to get a dos window,that way when lokiwiz finishes you will still be able to read what it says
5 - Click on the black dos window that has opened and type cd desktop then type dir /ad and then a list of all the directorys on your desktop will be shown then change directory to the lokiwiz2b directory and Execute lokiwiz.bat (on your computer!)
Extended rom is what it says, a part of rom that is in an extended partition, basically it contains customisation programs and important files for installing into the wizard when it is hard reset.
when you say you tried your simcard ,was it the same provider e.g. o2 that you were using before? If it is the same that wont make a difference, try a sim from a provider that you dont have like t-mobile.
Anyway simunlock just allows you to use any sim, cid unlock allows you to load any ROM which is what you want to do.

Error when I try "Artemis SD Card flashing"

I put the file ARTEIMG.nbh to SD Card (FAT32), the ROM that I'm using is "Artemis 4.02", but on manual (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing) says that I need to extract the NBH, but when I try to extract I have a error, then I've copied the file to SD Card, but when I enter on bootload in screen show me "Invalid Certificate" and I don't know what I do! Please help me... my mobile is dead

exact same problem..... has any one got any solution for this ?

Same problem also for me... have anyone found a solution for that???
Thank you all

Same problem with a number of ROM's. The only ROM I have been able to flash is an old wm5 (ART_HTCDAN_11240301_026790_DAN_SHIP). And I think it is an older version than the one installed when I bourght the device
My p3300 refuses to do any flash from win7, sometimes it can't see the device and sometimnes it reaches 2-3% of the transfer before it stops.

Invalid Model ID?? after flashing

hy,
i have flashed my unlocked athena x7500 with rom 6.1 by irius. the update breaks at 82%.
now i have only pixels on screen, and nothing happens.
in the bm stands the following: ' R\
IPL-v1.00
' R\
SPL-v1.25 Olipro
if i try to flash, the updater shows after 1% the error: invalid model id
i have tryed to flash with sd-card (tested with os.nb, ruu_signed.nbh, spl.nb and os.nb0) it show LOADING ... for 2 secs, thats all.
what can i do??
sorry for my bad english, im german

SD card flash requires card up to 2GB (non-sdhc) and ATHEIMG.nbh file in root folder
you will need to rename ruu_signed.nbh into ATHEIMG.nbh and restart with camera (full down) + reset

loading...
checking...
stops after 3 seconds
1gb, formatted with fat32, non sdhc

I had thee same problem flashing an Athena (and wasn't mine
Cmonex helped me to restore via mtty the model id
She suggested the same steps needed to solve the wi-fi problems (reflashing the MAC address)
And it worked, restoring the ATHE100 model ID
You can find somewere in this section the post with step by step instructions and the sw needed. The fix works only with xp, to solve with vista you need CMONEX help (PM)

Trying to upgrade my Artemis (WM6 Official ESN) to TouchFlo or WM6.5

Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced

Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

good to hear its working again

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install

in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system
