I have just had my first Experience with trying to upgrade a Herald. Here is what i learnt the hard way. Any of experienced Guys, please feel free to correct me.
1. If you want to flash upgrade your Phone, check your IPL and SPL in the Bootloader, hold down the Camera Button and then press soft Reset with the Stylus.
2. If your IPL and SPL are below 4.0 do not flash anything but a stock HTC Image, links to these are in the Wiki.
3. Once your IPL and SPL are higher than 4.0 you have numerous possibilities to flash all kind of Images by using USPL or hard SPL.
4. There are two File Types you can flash, either .nbh Files or os.nb Files.
5. .nbh Files can either be flashed by RUU (HTC Updater) or by SD Card were you put the File in Root of a FAT formated SD card and rename it to Heraimg.nbh and then insert the Card and then start the Bootloader, push Volume down when asked (you have 10sec).
6. As long as you have Bootloader there is lots of hope. I found removing the Battery for some Minutes, then turning on the Phone and then trying the Bootloader works most of the time.
7. A Hard Reset also often helps and this done by pressing both Softleys and then soft Reset with the Stylus.
Really concise explan.of what I was looking into.Thank's
I am trying to do the HardSPL upgrade on an orange spv m3100 as per http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26 I have the lates version of WMDC running on windows vist and can sync etc no problem
When i go through the process it shows current image as 1.23.61.4 When i carry on in brings upenter bl.exe on the phone. The phone then goes into the bootloader screen and the WMDC shows disconnected
The programme hows verifying the information on your hermes Then I get error 260 update error cant connect
The current bootloader says.
HERM100
1PL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
Any ideas and help would be grately appreciated
thanks in advance....steve
Plz help
my phone shows following details
SPL-1.09.ds
when i upgrade to HardSPL 2.60, it does upgarde but when after restarting it again shows the same version of SPL
i am now unable to soft reset my phone
and one more problem i am facing is that my phone shows HERM200while before this problem it was HERM100
this problem arose after i tried to downgrade to MFG bootloader
before that i had SPL 2.30
plz help
fcwdadmin, as you have sspl.exe already running (known as soft SPL - 1.09 des) format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32, put the .nbh file of Hard SPL V7 on and rename to hermimg.nbh . Reset to bootloader - hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Follow the prompts. This should put Hard SPL V7 on your phone. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE Soft SPL INSTALLED...
Go to bootloader to check, it should read IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
You should now be able to put any rom on from the Hermes section. I recommend using the sd card method for that too.
Cheers...
the bootloader says:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.04
Is that the same thing again ??
Many thanks in advance
No, you don't have Hard SPL V7. I'd suggest going to the upgrade section and downloading the right Hard SPL. Its a sticky at the top.
Hard SPL V7 is the safest SPL to use as it offers a measure of safety that you don't otherwise have, making it at least possible to fix up your os if something goes wrong during a flash.
Read post 1160 on page 116 of the Hard SPL thread to find instructions on how to install it using the sd card method.
If you try to upgrade your os at the moment you stand a greater chance of ending up with a non recoverable brick or, at the very least, an agonizing amount of reading to just recover the os.
Hard SPL WON'T stop things going wrong but it offers a chance of recovery. V7 is the best for the person just interested in flashing roms occasionally (daily) so I'd suggest you get it.
It should read when you finish IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
No exceptions...
Cheers...

I've been trying to find help with this everywhere, but none of the steps seem to work for me. Should I consider the phone brick now cuz I can't get Hard SPL v7 on? I was able to go up to 1.40 using CID unlocker, but have been stuck since then.
Can you get the Hermes back into today screen?

No brick. I was able to get to SPL 1.40 and have been able to flash other ROMs. I've just read too many posts that says v7 is the way to go for stability sake.
Download Hard SPL V7 from the Hard SPL thread, go to page 116, post 1160 of the same thread for instructions on how to install using the sd card. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS EXACTLY... One thing wrong & it won't work.
Afterwards, you can use these steps, dropping the steps using SSPL.exe (Soft SPL) to install roms. I find it much easier & safer than using the pc.

how did you uninstall hard spl in first place...
by putting back original spl
What error you get when you hard spl?
it stays on 0% and never move then it asks me to make a recover
1. Unlock your polaris
2. Than Hard-spl your device
PS: Only use the hard spl in the link provided. Disable your antivirus before procedure.
this might work.
thanks at first
but the first link cant be downloaded
and i think it is just an earlier version of hard spl 2.0
so i think it wont be usefull
From what I've read on a while ago on XDA, if your rom flash progress hangs in the middle of the process, it may be because of the fact that your current radio is too new for your 'old', original rom. You should try to flash an earlier radio before you flash the complete original (6.0?) rom.
And if you get it flash half of your rom, you probably didn't remove HardSPL, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that familiar with it.

As I recall, the figures above indicate that you do have the original SPL. You should try to flash an original rom (if you don't have one, i have a dutch one here (wm6.0). If that doesn't work you should try to flash hardspl (hold the camera button while softresetting to enter bootloader) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 ) and then try to flash a newer rom.
Where are you from?
Btw. I forgot to tell you that you need to flash an old radio too if you're going to flash the original rom. (if you don't have one already).
And when you have hardspl on your device, it'd be wise to flash a rom which include a radio.
I'll be away for a couple of hours, so I've put the original (dutch WM6.0) rom (incl. the original spl, but I think (dont know for sure) you need hardspl2.0 just to flash anything.) online here, let me know if your figured it out.
well thank you for all the help
but i am sadly informing it didnt work if the problem is the radio the i just need to flash another one .
it is just i cant or i dont know the right method to flash the necessary radio
would any one please tell how to flash radio from the boot loader when i dont have hard spl
Maybe a stupid question, but why can't you flash hardspl2? And do you have an unlocked device? You don't live in the Netherlands by any chance right?
why I can't flash hard spl 2 ?
actually I don't know
maybe because I am stuck in the boot loader
and sadly I am living in Saudi Arabia so we don't have much programmers around here nor people who have PDA
that's why I can't find someone to help
Can you describe exactly what you do step by step on your pc and pda and how your hardware is connected?
update: and tell me what messages are on your screen and if you get any errors
well first i connect usb so the pda directly starts boot loader (the screen with three colours)
after that whatever (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) i use the installing stops to give me this messege:
the rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process . the program will guide you step by step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.
this happens with every rom i tried including the har spl exept for the original rom it advance untill 38% then stops and give me the same messege.
if i try the (step by step ) process it ends up the same way .
anyway what i understand that my problem will end once i put (hard spl)
or if flashed another radio all i need to know is how to do either of them from the boot loader.
i have been so needy but sorry for that i am just sad about my pda i like it alot
I dont think it changes anything, but you do keep the camera button pressed while softresetting your device to get into the bootloader?
Usually your device only gets to the bootloader when you do that, but i can imagine that when your rom update failed and the device cannot boot a rom, it stays in the bootloader, but not in flash mode? Worth a try..
Tell me what appear in your PDA screen during boot. I want to know the information on the first screen like below:
R:
G:
D:
These information usually appear on the right bottom corner or your screen when you boot your device.
hi sir iam new in this forum plz help me my htc hd2 shows on screen software update failed it cannot connected to active sync but connected to my pc .i download its hspl and rom butt next what can i do plz help me.
Try to get it into bootloader by taking out your battery, putting it back in, and then holding the volume down button while pressing the pwr/end key.
You have to hold the vol- key while the phone starts up, then you should see a screen with a few colores bars and some info.
EXACTLY what all info is displayed in your tri-color (bootloader) screen?
i tried the same. phone is in boot loader mode butt cannot connect to hspl2 it gives error plz help me .what can i do next its spl is 2.08.0000 8G XE
Don't bother trying to flash it via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on your computer. If it has already failed, it will likely fail again.
Get a class 2, 4gb sd card, and erase all files and format it (FAT32).
Get a ROM that you are CERTAIN is compatible with your 1024 Leo (TMo-US) and inside the zip file you will find a file with the extension .nbh
Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and transfer the file to your freshly formatted 4gb class2 card. (Not inside any folders, just on the card)
Take the battery out of your phone, then place the sd card into the phone.
Turn the phone on while holding the vol- button, to enter bootloader, and your phone will detect the LEOIMG.nbh file after a few seconds and ask you if you want to update your software.
Your phone will tell you to press a button to start the update. Press the button. Wait for the update to complete. The phone may reboot and flash the update again, I've had mine do that, it's okay, just let it go.
When everything is done, it should either turn off by its self, or boot up normally by its self.
If the update fails the first time, try it again.
Turn it off, take out the sd card, and boot it up normally.
If you follow these steps exactly, then you will not fail.
If you do follow thes steps exactly and the phone doesn't get all the way thru the update process, and fails, then it's one of two things:
1. You tried to flash an incompatible ROM
2. There's something wrong with the hardware of your phone, or your bootloader is corrupted.
Good luck and happy flashing!!!!!
bro thank u for give me complete detail for that butt i am confused that where i find compatibale rom.plz if u up load for me that rom and if possible how to find the file LEOIMG.nbh.plz sorry for my bad english. my phone spl is 2.08.000.and also that software windows Mobile Device Center.

OK since your SPL is 2.08, you will first need to install HSPL to your phone through your computer.
Don't worry, HSPL never fails over the computer , as ROMs sometimes do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=347299&d=1277158888
Just connect your phone through Windows Mobile Device Center and run the HSPL program (right-click it and Run As Administrator), following the instructions the program gives you. When asked to choose an SPL, choose 2.08 HSPL.
Allow the program to work its magic, and when it is finished, go into bootloader and confirm manually that you have HSPL by looking on the bootloader screen for the name Cotulla, and it should say 2.08HSPL
Then I would suggest any of the ROMs here:
http://hotfile.com/list/588162/580b43d
Personally I would go with the Dinik one, the icons and everything are really nice looking.
Just follow my previous instructions to flash it via sd card, and you'll be good to go.
After that, go learn about putting some Android builds on your sd card in the HD2 forum, Android subfora.
Lots of fun to be had there.
Hope it all works well for you, don't hesitate to ask more ?'s if you're not sure about something

white screen hhmm Radio - do you happen to know what radio you have flashed, if not go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 chose say 2.15.50.14 down load it, i dont have micro usb on my phone no more so you have to options put phone in bootloader wait for it to turn to usb and run the ruu for the radio, or extract it find the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh pop it in the phone keep holding volume down till u get a grey screen and follow the instructions to flash the radio, and then try again,
you said you had android before? did you use cwm or clk so you can recover??
oh and by the way i nearly bricked my hd2 on release day so i no how u feel lol
EDIT = you can try and flash the stock rom and start again, by using 7zip to extract the official rom, find the .nbh file, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh also pop it on a micro sd card smaller than 8gig (just to be safe) boot into bootloader and follow through that way.

Take out the battery and keep the phone off in a very cool air conditioned room for a couple hours (maybe even the refrigerator).
Put the battery back in and flash stock again.
edit: hmm. Just read that other thread, yeah you may need to jtag it...but I'd still try the fridge thing.
Edit2: worked for this guy:

Sorry, for not replying before...
I put my phone in a ziplock plastic back and left it in the fridge for a few hours (I think about 8 hours or so). Then I booted it and tried to install the LEOIMG.nbh file from SD card... I kept it in the fridge while installing the image.
And somehow, it just worked first time!!
The image (from the first post of this thread) is a US demo version of Windows mobile, but I was able to install the regular ROM from the HTC site after this - without the need to keep it in the fridge.

That is the correct ROM.
you need to flash it via SD instead of RUU, that way it will put the correct SPL on your phone without you having to do anything from you computer.
edit: to clarify, flashing via RUU it cannot replace your SPL version, but if you extract that file, then move the NBH to the root of your SD card, then rename it LEOIMG.NBH, then go into bootloader, it will recognize it and ask you to flash. hit power to flash and it will restore to stock SPL, Radio, ROM, Boot Logo, etc.. you're good to go.
your phone turned off??? is your battery dead??
