..Yes i have tried a hard reset still no success...could you please explain to me what "installing Buttons 1.5 ROM at bootloader" mean? i am a noobie in these things really..

sure...first tell me if u have a G3 or G4 Wizard...and is it CID unlocked? you must be CID unlocked to perform any custom ROM modifications...

It must be a G3 Wizard (not really sure)because it came in as a XDA MINI S from O2 and at the splash screen it has this info: IPL:1.05 SPL:1.06 GSM: 01.01.10 OS:1.1.9.3 after flashing with Xda_minis_LaunchRom_v154102_2. i am not sure about CID unlock but i am using a different network other than O2. it was shipped with windows mobile 5.0...

a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001!)

go to the above link and CID unlock your device just to be on the safe side...as for going into the bootloader, u can do this by keeping the Camera button pressed, and pressing the softreset button..then u will go into a colored screen(red,green,blue,white)which will show your IPL/SPL...once u are in that screen, go ahead and connect it to your computer(via USB) and u will notice on ur device, it will show USB on the bottom...then u can proceed with the guide to CID unlock your phone...let me know how it goes!! =)

Hi i installed the buttons rom like you suggested but it still hangs at the splash screen(beer jug)with this info IPL:1.01 SPL:1.06 GSM:01.12.10 OS:1.5.4.2. activesync does not recognize the pda in "hang mode" for me to be able to try CID unlocking...so where do i go from here ? please help...

oo wow...umm gosh im out all of ideas...i dont know what else to suggest, ive never heard of this type of problem....sorry!

So does it mean my fon is bricked or what? or could it be a hardware problem?

ummm i dont think its bricked, if it was, you wouldnt be able to get into the bootloader...im sure theres a solution to the problem, i just dont know it because ive never seen this type of case before, im fairly new to the MDA...i started modifying my wizard less than 2-3 months ago

Urgent Help Needed Please! "No-Gsm" BRICKED?

i posted this in another thread but no one replied so thought this one mite be more busy.
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile MDA Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes.
i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04.
it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.

please help, at least let me know if Ive got a chance of repairing it

i believe if you can get it in to bootloader mode you can flash back to original rom and start over

i thought that to but when i tryed the t-mobile rom it said "connection error" and also said it should be connected through active sync. but then agen it mite of been the wrong t-mobile rom but im sure it was for the vario ii. do you have a link to the one i should try please?

i downloaded the official UK shiping rom from t-mobile site and upgrading now through bootloader. will report on what happens.....

nope, keep getting "device not responding" or "connection error". any other sugestions?

i looked on here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick and it says that i have to "Flash any type2 radio in NBF format. If that doesn’t work, flash the radio using HERMflasher" please could someone tell me how to do this, if this is the solution to my problem or if there is another way around this. thanks.

please help someone i realy need to fix my phone

Cool down....
what's ur radio version?
Also have u read this? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock - TRY THIS FIRST, before attempting anything else...

ok, i have tryed that "sim and cid unlocker" and i beleve that you have to connect with active-sync because when i tryed it when i was in boot loader it said that it was not connected but it was. i will get my radio version now.
EDIT: my radio version is: 0107
EDIT2: also, here are some other numbers (which i dont know what they mean but mite be needed) which apear on boot-up t-mobile splash screen, in red letters/numers, just before "no-gsm" flashes on:
M 05
S 04
B 06
D 1.21

If you can get into the Bootloader (Rainbow Screen) you should be okay (Not a Brick)
Go download a Radio Rom from the wiki.
Enter Bootloader first, then connect to PC. Then flash the Radio Rom.

Flashed New ROM -Stuck on screen

I need help
My phone is CID Unlocked, I flashed a new ROM and now it is stuck on the Smart mobility Screen.
I tried HARD Reset but it didnt fix it.
I can get to the bootloader screen (no RUU on top corner) and flash a different ROM, it goes through the process and completes but when the phone re-starts it goes to the same Smart Mobility screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You're welcome anytime...

Herald Doesn't start after a bad flash

Hi everybody,
I went to a store this evening in order to unlock my Polaris. The owner of the store has got a HTC herald with a problem that he wanted me to solve.
He tried to install another rom on his herald but, due to an unsuccessfull rom upgrading, the HTC is locked on a RGB screen (red green blue) with the only following indications:
RUU
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
USB (or nothing when not plugged)
Would you mind helping me? I tried several Roms, and there was only one that seemed to work (ROM HERALD_ smiley sWWE.gif _6.1.405.13_BUILD 20764.1.4.3): It gave me a progress bar on the HTC frozen at 0% while the upgrading tool on the pc told me that I needed a more recent upgrading tool.
What can I do?
Thanks for all the solutions you'll give me

Before installing cooked ROMs I believe the phone must be HardSPL'ed, and this can only be done if the SPL/IPL is 4 or above - any lower/not HardSPL'ed and the device will be bricked. The screen you are describing is the bootloader, and since you only have an IPL/SPL of 1.x I'm pretty sure you can't install custom ROMs. To unbrick the device, turn it onto the bootloader and then load the original HTC ROM that came with the device.
Hope this helps,
czhang

Dear Czhang,
I tried several times to enter in bootloader, but it's impossible as it starts with the bootloader menu! I can't change anything about that, even by soft resets, reset+camera, reset+buttons...
Do ya think this could work properly? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930
As I am stucked with 1.08.0001 SPL, There is nothing to do. All the users who tried to unbrick their phone didn't got it working, except one who changed the motherboard for... 200$ ! The price of a used HTC Herald in very good conditions!
Still looking for help
Thanks
Nounou7701

sorry to say sir but your ipl and spl should have been 4.0 or higher and also HardSPL'ed. i'm pretty sure your device is bricked. GL on finding a way to fix it or buying a new one. =D

Nounou7701, though you cannot flash a cooked ROM with IPL/SPL 1.x you can definitely flash the official ROM from HTC.

AAAARRRGGHHH! thanks to everyone for the (bad ) news... I'll try to buy a mothercard, just like another user did...
Have a nice evening

He didn't head the warning of the SPL requirements. You can easily revive it using the GoldCard method. (Search for the term "goldcard herald".)
