Hi mine is- before upgrade
SPL 1.09.0001
IPL 1.09.0001
ROM 1.7.707.3 WWE
ROM Date 11/01/06
Radio 2.69.90
protocol 4.1.13.30
Ext rom 1.7.707.106
OS 1.7.0.0

I also have a Dopod C800 with the same ipl & spl. Can you direct me to the POF Hard-Spl files that you used? I have the HTC P4350 WWE WM6 RUU. Any help is greatly appreciated...scared to death I'll brick the phone!

How i upgraded My DOPOD C800
STEP I:
Download the following files
1) USPL --- Flah centre.rar file from
http://www.mediafire.com/?axtm5qlmbli
2) Official RUU -HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
3) Make sure ur computer is always power on...not hibernated
Step II:
1) Create 2 folders eg:flash and rom.
2) Extract flash centre.rar in flash folder
3) Extract HTC_P4350.... ship.exe in rom folder .
( Use winrar or simply double click the file. It will start the upgrade window ,click next, then hold.Go to the temp folder, u will find all the extracted content there.Copy all the content to the new rom folder. After that cancel the upgrade window.)
4)After extracting the content in the rom folder ,*****delete the SPL.nbh file ****
Step III:
Connect your phone to the computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
Step IV
1)Open the flash folder --- follow the read me file in this folder
ie
2)Run herald-uspl.exe on your computer and follow the instructions on screen.
- it will run in command window and ask u to enter the values..follow the screen
After 2/3 steps if will ask u to chk the device-- the activesync green icon in ur computer will become grey and the screen of ur mobile will be blank-white.
!!! now u have sucessfully hard spl ur device!!!
**** dont touch or remove the connection or close any program****
3)After this it will start the RUU program ,follow the instruction ,click update ( u wont find any previous ROM installed),it may or will show ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
clik finish/cancel and exit **this program only**.
4)Now without removing anything open the rom folder and clik the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the instruction.
thats it. ur mobile will be upgraded. dont get panic...it will take some time and the mobile will be white in colour.
Thanks
Jose

C800 upgrade success
Upgraded Dopod C800 with same IPL/SPL/RADIO parameters as mjose using his directions and it worked like a charm. Am WM6 with no issues now.
Thanks POF and mjose and everyone else on the forum for your help!

WHen using Herald-USPL - it is NOT permanently HARD-SPL!!!!
Please check the SPL now - and report....
if it doesn´t show 4.70.yang - then it is only USPL = temporarly CIDunlocked= NOT HARD-SPL
thx.

How much free memory did you get by upgrading to official HTC WM6? I got only 25mb free with no extended rom install!

C800 USPL vs Hard SPL
Poppamopps, you are quite correct. The update I performed was NOT Hard-SPL. I would prefer Hard-SPL but my understanding is that it should not be used on a device with IPL/SPL below 4.0. I am 1.9 both IPL/SPL.
Is there now a HARD-SPL that is safe to use on the Dopod C800 that is below 4.0 ?

i'm assuming nobody was awake. when you were posting....but i could be wrong.
i have no idea what a green screen means other than it's green hehe... and have never flashed a dopod.. but i'll pretend it's a herald?
can you put it in bootloader mode????
soft reset(put stylus in the hole)... and hold down the camera button..
you should get the tri-color screen..

hey thanks! yes. i've got the asian herald. i got into bootloader mode as per your suggestion - is that the one with red/green/blue horizontal bands with a thinner white band at the bottom? ok what should i do next?

i was able to run the ROM Update utility after that, but got an error 300. checked the documentation and found out that i used the wrong version for my phone, which was RUU -HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe. would you know which one i should use?

i'm guessing your phone is not an English phone?
you need to find the native RUU for your phone.. Taiwanese Mandarin> HK Traditional? Japanese?.... if you can find it, then put your phone into bootloader and run the RUU file from your pc.
other than that, I don't know if anyone here has access to asian RUU's

doesn't look good, can't seem to find my region's wm6 rom anywhere. even tried to restore using the original wm5 rom from htc website, but still getting error 300. i think running herald-uspl.exe initially could have somehow caused some corruption.
well, i might have to visit dopod's service center soon.
thanks for your help, mv3, greatly appreciated.

did you try looking for official ruu from asia.htc.com
I suggest you load that before going to the repair centre

help!!!dead hermes!!!

help!!i really no idea with my devices as i try to flash it to wm6,then it stop at 50% and reboot then hang at bootloader screen,i try to flash again but when it reach 1% it will restart and update error msg prompt, it said "the image is corrupted" if im using sd card flash,it come out 00068002 on the top of the"loading" words then go in the tri colour screen again. anyone pls help me pls!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I wish you guys would do a LITTLE research on how to flash stuff... I bet you don't have Hard SPL installed even though its splashed about all over the forum.....
Try to download the SHIPPED STOCK ROM again... It seems you have a corrupted download.
Once you have downloaded the rom, then reset Hermes into TRUE bootloader, not the failed flash you are getting.
On the PC, untick "Allow USB connections" in active sync the connect Hermes.
Double click on RUU_Wrapper.exe of the freshly downloaded rom. Follow prompts...
Pray......
Then, if it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7...........

thanks for rely brother,i hv tried download a shipped rom from here and i hv follw all the prosedure u thought,it still doesnt works,oh no....................

Unable to downgrade my SPL from 3.13 to 2.20

Hi there,
Hope you can help me...
Since i bought my Cruise, I flashed it to the newest ROM version of HTC and it automatically installed SPL 3.13 with.
The problem is that if I want to install the WM 6.5 rom, I have to "Downgrade" My SPL version from 3.13.0000 to 2.20.
I followed the steps explained by "Olipro", but when the upgrade starts, RUU kills activesync (seems to be normal) and when the phone normally reboots in bootloader mode (like when you flash a new rom), nothing happens. The phone didn't shutdown and tries to establish a new USB connection !
I tried to turn manually the phone in bootloader mode on to force the SPL update, but the % bar stays at 0 and RUU returns a communication error (262).
I tried also to install the wm 6.5 rom without install SPL 2.2, but it crashes (stays @ 0% too)
I don't know how to install this stinky version of HARD SPL.
Heeeellllpppp !!
NOTE : I tried with or without µSd, does the same thing.
Thx

hmm try disabling firewall and antivirus one of them may be blocking the connection. Thats my only thought about it.

Thank you for the answer but it don't work...

Nobody can help me ?

Try to extract the files from the newest htc rom to a new folder, and then copy the "RUU_Signed.nbh" from the SPL V2 folder to the extracted files (to the new folder) and run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from the extracted files (from the new folder).

nope ...

Please, consider my asks...
I know there is necessarily a solution but I have not yet found.
I don't know where/why it is crashing.
What does the HTC need to downgrade the hardspl ?
Is there a protection that can't be bypassed with the 3.13 ?
The only thing that I can do atm, is flashing the official HTC rom (useless ^^).
The actual version of my rom is :
_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_FRA_3.13.406.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Thanking you in advance...

HSPL 3.13? In this ROM is ver. 3.13 drivers, not HSPL... If you have original ROM and you dont install Olipros HPSL, you have original HTC SPL...

When I enter bootloader mode, the HSPL version is : 3.13.0000
Of course it's the original htc HSPL.
The problem is that I can't downgrade it to the olipro's version : 2.20.

Did you try it on other PC?

2 PCs, 2 USB cables..
The official rom upgrade works fine, I dont think that the problem comes from the computer.

definite guide:
1. establish a connection with activesync via usb (orbit2 to pc)
2. start the romupdateutility provided in hardspl folder.
3. before it starts flashing, you need to also follow on-screen instructions on orbit2!!! execute jump-spl and stuff: click yes on orbit2!!
4. when the orbit2 states: Replug USB. you need to plug the usb-cable once off and then put it back to connect to your pc.
5. it starts flashing and restarts after its done.

Hi Manaaa,
I don't know what is jumpslp ??
I found it on the web (xda..), copied it in my "my documents" folder, ran it but it asks me a jump address (default is 0x00000000) and an spl (*nb) file..
What is jump spl ? What is the address to jump to? and where can I find the *nb file ?
In the olipro's hspl folder is only a *nbh file.
Thank you

I wouldn't recommend using a jump spl for our phones if there isn't one in the Hardspl Pack then one is not needed to be run.
Personally im still really confused by this so if i get it straight.
You are synced with activesync.
Run the file for Hardspl Run RomUpdateUtility.exe
Then go though. It switches off activesync.
Then what?? Exactly Does it ask you to replug the cable? Do you get the rom flash screen (with %) at all??
Also i dont think that spl flashes can be run from the booloader as it has to be a modded bootloader (jumpspl if you will), loaded by the program to be able to flash the new hardspl.
Also i know very little on this, this is as much as i understand it to be.

Normally, after killing activesync, the phone turns into bootloader mode. Mine stays in winCE and tries to establish new usb connection...
I also decided to force manually bootloader mode and killing activesync by myself.
I ran RUU again, it first checked the phone state (such as battery >50%, connectivity...)
CHECK : OK
Next step, by clicking "NEXT" on the RUU interface, the phone turns in "% mode" and the update starts but stays at 0%.
After a while, RUU returns an update error (such as 262).
Noway to flash hardSPL :'-( , v3.13 seems to be "write protected".

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

That is what error 262 is but really dont see why this happens either. And since you can boot into windows its not much help.
So it just wont go to flash it when you click it through, hmm
Your last resort would be to PM cmonex as she will have helped make this with oilpro. Ask and see if she can shed some light on this one. Maybe something has gone wrong somewhere (quite likely) that we don't know how to fix.
Stupid question but have you tried downloading, unzipping it again? May have been a bad dl... or unzip

Have tested it with about 10# DLs...
I PM'd Olipro, waiting for a response now

Flash back to HardSPL and don't Re-Plug
Hi Pixel,
Herewith are guide for you
1) Flash back to HardSPL and don't re-plug until end of session (5 minutes)
2) Flash back to original SPL 3.13 on this post . This original SPL for HTC Touch Cruise only
3) After you do this you cannot flash with other Cooked ROM or Shipped ROM
with different ID, unless you flash back to HardSPL
Good Luck my friend

I have exactely in the same configuration as Pixel69 with the same result.
I've tried to an other PC without any change.
Has somebody any idea?

Just had an idea what OS are you running to do it?
If its not 7 may not be fully compatible... Shot in the dark really

[Solved] Touch HD bricked????

I`m writing this after almost a full day of searching and testing with no luck.
I have friend who tried to upgrade Rom into his Touch HD and failed.
Right now all the phone does is to start in tricolor menu. I have tried several Roms but when trying to flash they get stuck at 0% and after a while it ends up with error 262. Same thing happens when trying to upgrade to HSPL also (i do not have a working Rom on this phone, just a tricolor menu which starts automatically when phone started ). I have tried to flash rom with SD card (2Gb), and with Ruu with Win7 and XP.
Info :
Blac100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) V6
How can i recover this phone? Can anyone pls help me ?
I have attached a Print screen of my folder dedicated to this phone. Everything there i have tried.

oh my god...you tried to flash a ROM without SPL!? are zou crazy? first you have to flash HSPL, search for the latest spl 1.56 olinex and when you get the (.nbh) file, name it to Blacimg.nbh and put on SD card (on root!) then it will appear a confirming message to install the .nbh, and you confirm.
note: not having HSPL is pratically the same thing has having a locked bootloader...

Yes i know... not me was the one who tried... i have received it like this, and trying to recover it. The idea is when trying to install HSPL it get stuck at 0%, and the alternate method implies booting into system... but i do not have a system on device. I have also tried to download the official rom from HTC website.... and after 1% it says "invalid vender ID".

Flash SPL from sd card. Name the file as BLACimg.nbh and put on sd root. Then enter Tricolor screen (If it doesnt go automatically) and confirm the flashing. Then SEE If you get the htc logo and a empty shell ( black screen) . If you do good, now normally Flash a ROM ( you can use sd method or throug pc
---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------
If it doesnt work try another sd

This what i`m trying, but it get stuck to "loading" . I have downloaded "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex" , started "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe" , nbh file apeared in same folder, copied to SD (formated to Fat32, default alocation unit) started phone, gone in tricolor then "loading" message on screen and nothing else (for 10 minutes already).

hmmm... keep waiting

finaly solved
I have finaly solved it. First you need Windows XP on PC. Download USPL 2.5 and open a CMD window. Start utility to upgrade to HSPL OLINEX and after presing update , and progres bar apears on phone execute fast the uspl in cmd window (otherwise it will say it cannot open USB port). After this you phone will reboot in tricolor but instead of SPL you will se USPL 1.14. Disconect usb from phone and reconect it, now it should say is connected to USB. Relaunch the HSPL update utility and wait to get to 100%. When done phone will reboot into system (if you have any).

its a way, but you could simply flash hspl trough sd (use other sd if that doesnt work, I needed to cange too!)

Believe me ! i have tried with four different SD cards, one of them indeed did not worked (a 4Gb). I do not know exactly what happened to the phone but it was impossible to flash anything to that phone (except some shipped roms witch would fail after 1% with invalid vender ID on pc and some 28008 error via card) . As i said one post earlier, the only way was via USPL, witch needed a workaround method (because it too failed with "could not access usb port" error). And the USPL worked only on Win XP and had a very narrow time window to execute the file (to have the USB port accessible ). After changing to SPL 1.56 Olinex phone booted with the old WM 6.1 stock. But i have changed 3 other roms after that, finally settling to energy Rom. With Olinex i had no problem at all flashing the Roms. I have even flashed a new radio, with absolutely no problem. Don't know what was the problem exactly, but the old SPL 1.54 had some serious issues !
I`m just glad i have revived this phone (witch btw, is not even mine)....

the old SPL, was locked lol. It's the stock SPL straight from HTC. But doesnt matter, good thing you solved your problem

10x
Wow, thanks alot for this post. I've done the same thing as you and crashed my HTC. Problem solved with Win XP, but more simple. Just executed USPL.exe and, job done. I think in Win7 was the problem with certified drivers. Think that can be solved in a fresh instalation of Win7 but not with certified microsoft drivers or HTC Sync installed. Anyways thanks alot. You've been a lifesaver.
