Bricked Hermes (SPV M3100) while flashing SPL - any help or sugestion are wellcomed

All started with trying to upgrade(rewrite) the GSM part because the Hermes had problems with phone part - when trying to call - the phone stop responding, bus the pda part sill worked.
So - I tried and tried and tried again, reading many threads about HARD SPL,Flashing radio, etc. Nothing worked..
In the end "i managed" to kill GSM - phone had "No Gsm" on boot-up.
From there i tried to downgrade SPL to 1.04 so that i try to "raw" rewrite the GSM part.
But something went terribly wrong, and while downgrading SPL, the phone suddently shutdown and never opened again.
Now i have the folowing situation: NO BOOTLOADER, no usb conectivity, nothing
This means that i cannot connect via USB whatever i try.
Is there any hope for me? or is it TOTALLY BRICKED?
Any help is apreciated!! I can even dismantle the mobile if there is any way to flash it via some kind of jtag connection...anything ...

The folks at www.imei-check.com can do the JTAG flashing. Just email them. It would be costly for you to do it yourself...

Are you saying that the phone won't turn on at all or that it does but you can't get a bootloader screen?
Have you tried taking the battery out for a while? Have you tried flashing an OEM rom and radio compatible with your device off an SD card?
All of this info is in the wiki, as are OEM roms you can flash.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck.

Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset

@wacky.banana: The phone is totaly dead: no bootloader, doesn't boot at all, doesn't seem to have any USB conectivity at all. Flashing from micro sd doesn't work : probably because the bootloader isn't working.
@drummer10630: i'll check with imei-chek about jtag flashing, especially the price and shiping costs.thanks
@markafreeman: I tried, but when i put the battery in, the red light goes off, not to amber . no soft or hard reset helps. not even leaving the battery out for 2 weeks - i had tried that too . thanks anyway.
Anything else I can try? - phone totaly dead, no bootloder, no usb conectivity - cannot use mtty, cannot flash from microsd

I had to get a replacement device at that point when it happened to me.
Maybe someone else know a way to get it working.
Good luck.

get onto orange
tell them you dropped the phone
and it crashed and wouldnt turn on
so you managed to hard reset it
and it crashed an ****ed up
they'll replace it
well they will send it to HTC
who just replace the handset rather than repair it

Hi dancameo2k , maybe you will not remember but plz:
I ve bought recenty an spv m3100, im effortless trying to flash the rom to an wm6 version.
Like you ive started with the hardsppl flash thing to prevent bricking it and prior to sd flashing... and im not sure if its workin...
plz can you explain in detail how did you bricked it??? thx!!!!
the rom you used to flash was an american version or european one???

Cincular 8525 stuck in Bootloader

I have a Cingular 8525 running WM5 that is stuck in bootloader screen. I have tried to soft and hard reset ... just boots back to the same screen, I can't turn it off once in the screen and when i sync via usb to the pc i get the message that the "usb device that is connected is malfunctioning" I have not done any upgrading at all and the phone worked perfectly right up till the time i powered it down and restarted into the bootloader screen.
Please can someone out there help me with this issue?

Manage to solve the problem ...thanks WIKI !!
Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!

Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.

1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......

Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.
Thank you so much for your time

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.

Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol

Great Work

thanks and regards
kirtibas

kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...

[SOLVED] Connection Error [262]. Stuck in bootloader (tri color) mode.

I'm new in these forums as well I'm new with flashing ROMs so obviously I messed up flash process and my device stuck in bootloader (tri-color) mode. This post I address to those unfortunate like me .
# Symptoms #
- ROM flash started and stopped at 17%. After recovery flash process stucks at 0% and pops Connection Error 262. Device is stuck in bootloader mode not possible to flash anything, hard reset does not help, flash from SD card does not help either.
# Possible cause for that #
1. In bootloader mode device shows:
Code:
Pola100
SPL-1.25.0000
CPLD-2
means that Hard SPL was not flashed before flashing ROM file (if Hard SPL was flashed then in second line will be written SPL-2.20.Olinex.).
2. Connection between ActiveSync and device was not established when flashing ROM file.
Before to go any further please take your time and read Polaris Wiki to get familiar with glossary and acronyms used here.
PROCEED ONLY if flashing original ROM does not help, hard reset does not help and flash from SD card does not work.
# Solution #
1. Download MTTY software.
2. Kill ActiveSync (Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe processes).
3. Plug Polaris into usb port (Plug directly not through hubs).
4. Start MTTY after chose USB from PORT dropdown list (if it is not listed there then ActiveSync processes were not stopped).
5. in window type: set 16 0 (enter cmd mode)
6. after type: task 8 (this will format phone)
7. after type: task 0 (this will restart phone. Not always necessary)
8. soft reset
This procedure can damage your phone. Use it as last resort.
Official source in french here.
Now before flashing any ROMs read carefully how to flash (not install!) Hard SPL.
# P.S. about install and flash termins #
This error with flashing happened to my due misunderstanding between notions of installing something on your device and flashing. In my opinion those are completely two different things. As for first I understand of running some cab or exe directly on device. So problem comes when people sees install Hard SPL en device as they try to find some cabs or exes to install directly on device or they just copy all files to device. To make things clear Hard SPL "installation" actually is ROM flash process which must be done with maximum caution, but those who did not read Wiki won't understand it.
Cheers, whitealien

BiG THX @ Whitealien.
works to 100% on my Touch Cruise.
I flashed under Vista Ultimate...
# Solution # ... addition from me for Vista users!
....
2. Start Windows Mobile Device Center and Deaktivate USB Connection and then start Task manager end kill
Process wmdc.exe.
Rest of whitealien. and have fun!

Thank you!!!!
I had given up on this, and was sure my only option was a warranty repair :O

always welcome

Thanks, you've saved my Polaris.
Mine didn't want to react anymore to the soft reset, so I replaced your instruction 8 with:
Cmd>boot
and that did the trick.

I had exactly the same problem, for whatever reason went back to original SPL before HARD SPL.
I solved my issue by using back the original original HTC RUU_signed.nbh and flash it using the CustomRUU.
Thereafter, repeat the entire HARD SPL and flash the home cooked ROM.
Cheers.

For unbricking your HTC Polaris, you can try also a hard-reset (if it is related to a software error):

Seems people are still falling for this error.

I'm has this error.
Solution (with SPL-2.20):
- kill ActiveSync (process, not uninstall)
- cable to USB on motherboard
- hard reset on phone
- connect to cable
- flash OFFICIAL rom
Two time I revive my Polaris.

Did you kill all running ActiveSync processes?

I did indeed, i'm on vista so didnt have those particular processes going but followed the step from Aeroman and it still doesn't want to play. Any ideas?

managed to find a working XP machine and it worked a treat. Thank you so much.

Don't know what CID Lock is on phone - how to figure out

Hi all,
I have a iMate SP3 here that I'm trying to get working for a coworker. Long story short they did this once before and I re-flashed it with some ROM (no clue which one) to get it working. Well, they broke it again and it's at the bootloader screen.
Problem is, I have no clue what CID lock is on the phone. The SPL is 1.01.0107 and I can't really find any mention of it. The phone doesn't boot any further than the bootloader screen and needs to be flashed, but I'm not sure with what. So far it's rejected all the ROMs I've tried.
Info 2 in MTTY gives me the output below:
HTCSCDL___01 4š«@HTCE
Can anyone tell me what I can flash this phone with to get something booting on it again? Thanks

please visit ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
choose the appropriate rom for you

Need help with a i-mate Jasjar that doesn't start at all..

Hello mates,
My i-mate Jasjar doesn't start any longer. Here's how I got here. I tried to flash my jasjar with Crossbow ROM using ROMUpgradeUt.exe but it didn't do anything. So I went into the Country_ID_Error folder on the computer and executed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. My jasjar froze after this and everytime I restarted it just hung on the bootscreen that says i-mate.
So I tried using mamaich method using mtty and now I can't even get to the i-mate bootscreen. So nothing just happens when I try to power up the phone (I'm sure the battery isn't dead).
All I can do is just enter the bootloader mode. That is the only thing that I can do that I know.
Please suggest something. I'm lifeless without the i-mate.
Thanks and regards,
Aditya More.

i had this same issue, i task28?'d my device, whatever command that resets the flash structure, then booted into bootloader, and flashed this file:
http://rs507.rapidshare.com/files/184081773/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
that should fix you up real good, hopefully.

Well thanks a lot. But it doesn't help. It gives me a connection error when everything is fine. USB is connected, ActiveSync USB connection is disallowed.
I forgot to mention, that when I task 28'd my device, nothing showed on the device. It just showed USB at the top and v2.01 at the bottom for ever, which means the task 28 wasn't probably successful or I ain't sure what.
Yeah, I had to ask you how if the above given file will work if the phone is in bootloader mode.

To fill you on more details, my phone somehow strangely starts. I'll explain how.
When the phone is switched off, and when I press the reset button, nothing actually happens, no activities can be observed.
When the phone is switched off and I connect it to the computer via USB, it shows the charging light. Now when I press the reset button with the phone connected to the USB, the charging light goes off and the USB detection sound sounds on the computer and the computer shows "USB Device not recognized". This means the phone started.
But strangely in both the above cases, none of the two lights on the phone indicate anything and display of the phone shows absolutely nothing.
The only thing I can do with the phone now is enter bootloader.
Also, since I compromised so much, is it possible that I can still flash it with WM6? Because going back to WM5 will make me feel miserable.
Thanks.

@cheapusenet:
I tried flashing with that file. It flashed successfully, but the screen is all smudged. I soft reseted the phone too (using reset+two soft keys) but it keeps displaying that same smudged screen.
Good news is it did something.
Bad new is that it didn't make the mate work.
Please help. I'm dying without the phone.
Thanks and best regards,
Aditya More.

is it possible you can get a picture of what screen its showing? I THINK it happened on mine as well, did you let it sit for 10 or so minutes? if i recall the bootscreen was all corrupted but it started into WM5 just fine.
and regarding wm6, i'd attempt to get the device working before you try and get fancy. is the device cid unlocked? mine was and thats what was causing the issues.

if you didnt run that exact command, it's probably a good idea.

This is all that happens.. I have waited for 5 minutes. I'll wait for 20 minutes now.

i waited for 30 minutes.. no go..

yap it did that EXACT same thing to mine.
reflash it, i think that fixed mine.
if that doesnt work, attempt flashing some custom roms.
is it CID unlocked?

i flashed it twice.. no go..
what's CID unlocked?

CID
Read the Wiki on my sig link

cid unlock allows flashing of roms that don't match your device branding.
i don't remember what brought me back from that, i may have flashed a custom rom with the imate cid settings in it? i don't remember.
i'll post a rom that i think may have helped in a few hours, I have slow upload speed. until then, just keep tinkering.
also, you should only be flashing nk.nbf. not the ms, or radio nbfs.

http://milfweed.info/UNI_AKU3_2_WWE_IVAN_beta_4_extrom_public.rar
try that rom.

hey man.. Flashed the rom with Ranju's ROM of WM6.1.. it worked.. But I can get the phone to be turned on. i mean device turns on but I can't make or receive calls or text. Let me check the thread of that rom. Thanks a ton for your support. Really appreciate it.
