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.

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.
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!!!
Greetz,

First flash ur pda with :
http://www.4shared.com/file/46948092/9e97bc37/Radio_Murata_1582123.html
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.
btw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600&highlight=microsd Its a MUST!!
Hope it works now.

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,
M
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...
Hello everyone,
Ok so let me expose my environment:
P3600 - Trinity
ROM VERSION:FinixNOver
ROM DATE:03/03/09
RADIO VERSION:1.56.70.11
PROTOCOL VERSION:32.89.7020.20H
EXTTROM:3.7Normal
So i started by downloading FInix 3.7.1 M2D.
Formated my sd-card in FAT32. Using no label as said in WIKI
Placed "RUU_signed.nbh" in root of SD-Card.
Then i renamed it to TRINIMG.nbh.
Then i did a hard-SPL (restored default ROM, in this case it was FinixNOver, old version).
Then when that was finished i inserted the SD-CARD.
Then i press "POWER" & "CAMERA" & "RESET" but the only thing that came up was the 3 color BOOTLOADER mode.
So here is my problem, I'm hopping someone will have answer.
Thanks in advance.
Danoussh
EDIT: I realised that i'm using a micro sd adapter for an micro sd card in my phone. I quote(WIKI-Trinity_SDCardFlashing ) "Make sure you are using a miniSD and no microSD with adapter." So could it be that it's because of my sd-card?
I got the same problem and solved it successfully by.
1. Put your Trinity to boot loader mode by: pushing both power AND camera buttons while resetting the Trinity.
2.Flash its ROM with HTC official ROM .
3. After step 2 is successful, update your Trinity with a cooked ROM of your choice
While you reponsed, was i talking to a freind about this problem and he said it would be a good idea to upgrade everything on it. He talked about the Hard-SPL and Radio.
So i cherched for the latest HARD-SPL version and found that mine was not up to date (I got IPL-0.50 MFG SPL-1.30.Olipro).
I found the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399827
So i started updating it and the Update Utility showed this error before the flash was about to start.
Code:
Errorr [200]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
Please get newer Update TOOL
Does anyone have an idea for this new problem?
Thanks anhdalat for response, i shall do what you said after updating HARD-SPL.
Please, anyone?
I am not sure, but what about a difference between p3600 and p3600i
Can anyone help me?
I was flashing back to stock SPL, using sd card, and pulled the sd card out while it was flashing (don't ask, I seemed to forget for a moment what I was doing and realized I needed my card for my other phone) Now, I have the stock SPL, shows PANT200 SPL-0.36.0000 CPLD-2 when phone starts, and says "Upgrade ROM code error Please Try Again". But, if I put my sd card in it with PANTIMG.nbh SPL file, then I get a screen that says "Loading...". And that's it, left it like that forever it seems and no change.
Any idea? It won't connect to the computer so I can't flash from computer. Even QPST won't find it.
FWIW: I do kinda know what I am doing. Unlocked mine and wife's Treo Pros with Cmonex hard spl, and flashed several ROMs, including a couple I cooked with NightRaven's kitchen. I was just going back to stock cause my wife doesn't like changes, and now this happened.
TIA,
Malachi
OK, thanks to cmonex I got this working again. Had to connect to mtty and run: set 16 0.
Did that and soft reset, and Voila! my Pro works again..
Thanks Cmonex!!!!
Out of curiosity:
I need to revert to the original stock spl as well. Have not found a way yet...Could you offer me some guidance.
Thanks.

Hi, i had the same problem flashing from the SD card. Are you using Vista or Windows7? I tried with Vista Format card, drag and drop renamed image onto sd card. Stuck it in the phone, reset and like you say hangs on bootloader. Then i tried the same thing from my Windows XP laptop, exactly the same format, rename drag and drop and everything works fine. Hope this helps
first i tried with vista then i tried with xp the problem still there, any other idea to solve this problem? thanks anyway for your advice
roms?
G'day, I've only really been reading about roms and these phones for only a few hours but I'm pretty sure that htc jasjam and imate jasjam are one and the same phone i think the said rom are used with all hermes type phones..
thanks and sorry for my ignorance if i'm mistaken
