Help! HTC Hermes won't boot up properly - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi
I've got a HTC Hermes that won't boot up properly.
I've had a quick search and can't find to find the exact same proble but apologies if this has already been raised.
I previously flashed my T-mobile ROM with RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.
The problem started when I downloaded a Registry Optimizer from Windows Update. When I started using this my phone was not in airplane mode, and just hangs on the logo screen (this is the gold Tai Edition)
I tried to do a hard reset (this goes to the screen with the four colour bands on it), and then when I reset it again it just switches to the logo screen and stays there. After a while, the screen goes white and stays there
I've got only a basic knowledge of flashing ROMs and when I first flashed my ROM i used Hard SPL and the basic AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM, before using TAI's custom one.
I presume I need to try and re-install the ROM (via the SD card, as Active Sync doesn't recognise the phone)
I was aware of risks whilst using the Registry Optimizer and realise that this is my fault, so I'm not expecting any quick fixes
Would be grateful though if anyone could point me in the right direction, if my phone is recoverable, and not bricked.
Cheers

You flashed a rom for the Kaiser.... You have a Hermes...
Looks like a brick to me....
If you use the sd card method you might be able to fix BUT make sure its a Hermes rom....

Thanks for pointing that out!
I found the thread on how to unbrick a hermes, so should be ok from here..

My SVP M600 phone got stuck at Starting screen

Hi Friends,
My new mobile phone SPV M600 got stuck whil starting showing four lines of messages as shown below.
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
Can any one please help me in geting my phone to today's screen.
I also attached the screen shot for reference.
did you try a hard reset ?
Ya I tried both hard as well as soft reset but same screen is stuck again and agian.Can any one please help me in this regard as I am very new to PDA family.
Ok, first things first:
Since you are new to this, are you sure you preformed a hard reset?
It is done by holding power + camera + comm manager buttons (one on the right, two on the left) and pressing with stylus in the reset hole at the same time.
A message should appear asking you to press 'send' (green phone button) to confirm reset.
If this does not help, you may have a serious problem.
Please answer the following:
Is the device fully charged?
Phone will fail to boot if the battery is too low.
Did you install any software right before this happened?
This should have been resolved by hard reset, but just in case I am asking.
Did you change the ROM, attempted CID / SIM unlock?
This could require more serious measures than I can advise on.
I did exactly the same thing which you mentioned.But even then it is stuck at the same screen.
Ya u r right I unlocked my mobile using a software from eBay.The unlock was successfull and I tried to insert T-Mobile sim, it also captured the signal and I was able to make and recieve calls then after that I wantedly switched off the phone and then tried to start it, there got the problem.
Can any one help me in this regard please.
I am having the same problem, but my phone is not sim-locked.
I've got the same problem after attempting smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
I'm having the same problem with my G4 QTEK S200:
Attempted to upgrade to WM6 Rom using smart1_wm6_pp8mb.exe
After reboot the phone got stuck at the QTEK Screen
Tried Hard Reset (Camera+Power+Comm+Reset) followed the steps with the same results (bricked)
I also tried re-flashing the rom back to the factory one using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship and ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.exe in Windows Vista with WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center v. 6.0.6873) and the phone in boot loader mode (tri color screen) with working USB cable, with windows firewall disabled and symantec AV disabled as well, RUU keeps saying error 260 "the update utilitiy cannot connect to your pda phone..." .
Do you think I should try this process using XP instead? No matter what i try i keep getting the error 260
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Got it fixed!
it was definately a Vista issue. once i tried it in XP with ActiveSync it worked like a charm and i got my phone back up and running. also used spb backup and restored all my settings.
ipl/spl screen
i got the same problem with new rom wm6, and the 260 eror, my problem is that i have xp and the activesync does`t connect ...
... means i cant redo the original rom ????
PLEAAASEEE HELPPPP !!

A rom reinstall on xp solved my problems on that one. retry a couple of times! It may not work the first time! hard reset as well...
Try an official wm5 rom just in case

Hi Iam able to update the Rom but no use
Hi,
To mention my phone is from orange-UK. I got the orange rom from our FTP site and did the flashing/update what ever you say.But still it is getting stuck at the same IPL/SPL screen. Iam very much worried that I will not get a proper solution for my problem.It will be very grate full if some one resolve my problem.
just seems strange...how did you fix it last time? did it just start working again? A random guess would be that the camera button got liquid spilled on it or is stuck in.
If the camera button is pressed in the phone will go to 3 colour screen every time it is turned on.
It won't do any harm if you try to press/move that button to see if u can "unstick" it, not likely I think but u never know...

tri color screen

Help I cannot get my 8525 off the tri colored screen. I have been searching thru these forums but have not found the right combination.
It is set up for WM6 and att
did you press the reset button and it still comes back to this tricolor screen?
if resetting doesnt work, hard reset, if that doesnt work then yu may have to reflash os. My suggestion would be using the sd card method as all you need to do is be in bootloader with a fat32 formatted memory card and the .nbh file of your favourite rom installed on it and renamed to "hermimg.nbh". hope this helps...
stuck in bootloader screen
my phone...said no signal...I couldn't even open the phone pad ....then my sim did not show.....I tried soft resets several time.... nothing would help I noticed under device info it would not show radio version or rom version..... so I downloaded a fresh version or att 6.0 wm.. and tried that to see if it would help... while installing it stop @ 11 percent with error code.262 tried several times and nothing still same thing..... is their hope.... can I install a cooked rom... or is my phone dead I hope not but you guys are the best....can anyone please help......
dr71399, sounds as if your radio has had it... try to fix any bad blocks on your phone with MTTY first(do a search in upgrading for instructions) first then try to flash a radio only rom, if that doesnt work you should do a search for others that have had their radios corrupted and see what is suggested. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but most people find once that happens its a brick, not that you cant flash an os only rom to use as a PDA.
If your phone is still under warranty then try to put the original rom back on and return for warranty but thats all I can think to do... See if a chef can fix up an os only rom for at&t or try to do it yourself.

Here's a tricky problem, need expertise!! Kind of urgent..

I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2
actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide
I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.
im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der
Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.
yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous

Strange case bricked 8525. Need help

I have a cingular 8525 (Herm100) that I was running windows 6.5 on from Scotty 93.
This ROM the HTC Home version.
Recently it started hard resetting randomly and finally the last time it hard reset on its own, it became stuck in bootloader mode. Whenever I try to flash a Rom on it everything works fine and the progress bar comes up until the very end. As soon as the progress bar disappears, the Rom should boot but the bootloader just comes back up. I have HardSPL 2.10 from Olipro on it.
I looked at common bricked hermes cases and it didnt fit any of them. I have run out of ideas of what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nevermind
wow. nevermind. I think I may have fixed it It seems like it has an internal battery or something because I had to remove the battery and let it sit for an extended period of time before it would start to boot up normally. Then when it did, I just flashed the old prerequisite ROM as soon as I could establish a connection with my computer. It seems to be working totally fine now.

Reverting Back To Stock

Hi I've Instaled Canon Yang hspl..and rom but need to get back to stock my wife doesnt like the mod any help thnx in advance...
Which phone do you have:
The Blue phone is the Wing..
Any other color is the HTC Herald..
For Wing
For Herald
Download the appropriate Orig ROM and then connect your phone to the computer. Next, Go to soft reset the phone but hold the camera button in until you see a Red/Blue/Green/White screen. Look for the letters USB in the lower left hand corner. If you see this, then you can run the .exe file and the flashing will begin. Just follow the directions on screen.
Remove Hard SPL from bootloader
Hi,
Anyone out there knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader of Wing. Problem is my mobile displays splash screen, then switch offs by itself. Its been quite some time that I have hardspled it and have been using it. But recently I am facing this issue, so I am trying to move to original RUU and try if it works.
So for that anyone knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader, because I am only able to enter bootloader. Moreover I tried several original roms from Flash Center as well as through SD card as well, but still be SPL version is 4.70.yang. Anyone knows any other alternative.
Also, if anyone has faced similar problem then kindly advice how you resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pankaj
