hey...
i hope you guys can help me out.
my problem is ,that i bought an herold witch is stuck in the bootloader !
the need little stripes won´t dissapear by any type of reset.
there a so many threads that stroke that a bit... but none only for that specific propblem...
i don´t know by witch method the thing was flashed so i can´t help you there.
i hope
and yes i tried the search
so thanx in advance
You could always try flashing the original ROM. They can all be found here:
http://rapidshare.com/users/5EWZ4
If that doesn´t work it would be helpful to know the SPL version, I can´t tell by the picture the numbers are too small.
OH my god !!
Thx a lot ! for tha fast answer....
but i can try it in a few days....
will post the result then
thx
from looking at the picture you included, I can see your IPL is v1.xx
There have been many people who have permanently bricked their phones by trying to hardspl and uspl ... so make sure you do some research before attempting to do those..
If it goes to bootloader automatically, and it has an SPL of 1.x, it's probably already permanently bricked. Your only option is to bring it to a repair center. Sorry.
i will be back next week on tuesday i think ... then i can look witch spl i have.
hey. and thx for your help already
i am pleased for every hint you have for me !!
could that be a solution for me too ??? ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1911779
ok...
my SPL is 1.08.0001
IPL the same
i am now trying to reflash the original firmware... lets see...
hm...
invalid flashingtool.... error 300 ????
it says i need a newer flashingtool...... WHAT !!??!?!
i now figured out that it is an italien device.. but the italien firmware also didn´t work...
do anyone has an idea ??? PLEASE....
Like I said, if it's stuck at bootloader and has that SPL, it's probably permanently bricked. Either the Radio or SPL or IPL was accidently overwritten. I was researching and found something that maybe be useful if it's the radio being overwriten but don't have the knowhow to port it to the Herald... yet.
hm...
i just tryed : 1. Kill ActiveSync process - wcescom.exe on your computer.
2. Attach USB-cable to device.
3. Run programm from attach, select "\\.\WCEUSBSH001" from
port's list and click Ok.
4. Type (type himself, not copy/paste) in window:
password BsaD5SeoA(press Enter)
ruurun 0(press Enter)
ResetDevice(press Enter)
and after a hardreset..... the screen went green....so... Step forward or did i now find the perfekt brick procedure
what means a greenscreen ?? btw
so now back in rainbow-mode
is there a way to CID unlock the thing with PUTTY
short before it enters bootmode it displays "searching for sd-card"
flashing from SD-Card ??? possible ???
well folks, u know the story. a Herald killed by hardSPL, of course i not take advice in (if your ipl/spl is 1.08.0001... dont try!!) well, i ran it and phone just died inmediately
the main story is.. ive been playing with bootloader mode. I was searching and searching about bootloader commands and what can be done. Can it be repaired via bootloader commands? sending to HTC is a expensive-and took so many days..
Now i have a bulk paperweight.. pls.. i know there's a solution for that.
every tool says about error 300, and i dont have Windows Mobile 5 original ROM (french one) to try...
I know we can.. its just find the correct command
update 1: ive managed ROMUpdateUtility and ive found some commands! (i know it!)

Hi, I just bought this phone off craiglist and the sell isn't picking up my calls anymore.
She sold me a corrupt radio rom phone and i can't seem to fix it.
I read all the guides and spent the whole night trying to fix it.
after failing many times, and desperate for help, I'm starting a new thread.
What i know:
this problem started when i tried to unlock my phone with the unlocker v3. the phone kept stopping at 0% and none of the recovery steps work.
I tried hard SPL and it worked. and OS only rom works.
so I have a type 1A brick.
My phone says:
Herm100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
NO GSM on OS start up.
I tried this fix:
but the problem is, my MTTY, does not show USB, it says CMD, not matter how many times i press enter.
METHOD 1
Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections".
Put your Hermes in bootloader mode
Connect device to computer using USB cable.
Open mtty.exe and select USB port, then connect.
Hit enter twice, you will see the "USB>" prompt.
Type the following commands (do not copy paste!!!)
USB> password BsaD5SeoA
USB> set 1e 1
USB> erase a0040000 c80000
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000
USB> erase a1940000 640000
USB> set 1e 0
after i do all this, I press the ok (the one of the left side) button and power button and reset to get back into bootloader.
then i run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Unlocker V3
and i still get 0%. whats going on?
any help would be great.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong, I read people are getting it to work with this method, but it's not working for me.
Thanks
Edit:
can somone tell me thats this means in mtty?

Ok, I was able to flash a Rom with Radio rom on it,
I tried to flash this rom on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371266
and it fails at 0%, then i use a att rom and flashing it to the phone works!
I got my radio rom back, but I only see the radio when there is no sim card inside.
But as soon as i put in a sim card, NO GSM comes back.

thanks in advance!

that rom u tried to flash is not made for the hermes
Yes, i know, But i read from barton on another thread, he used a Hima rom and it worked.
so it worked for me too. it doesn't really get to flash it. It stops at 0%.
I also flash it with active sync.
I just need to get the radio working with Sim again now.
maybe other should try what i did too.
oh oh.....its coming back to me now......installing the hima rom reformats the radio sector or something like that. i remember reading about this some time ago.....and i think pof managed to replicate that process, so you dont actually have to install the hima rom. the link is in the wiki somewhere
I tried most of the stuff on the wiki none of them work, but can you point me to it anyway? maybe i missed it.
thanks.
edit:
i tried fixing it using unlock version V3a, but it screws up my radio again.
going to try V2a next.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5
here's the link, but it looks like you already tried it. see the links at the bottom of that section, the "related forum threads"
thanks but i tried that.
Ok, i reflash hima rom. and this time, i did the unlockv3a flash.
now my radio is back with the sim in.
but i lose my sim connection when i try to call.
thanks in advance.
Edit:
WHAT THE HELL!!! ARGH I'm so close!!!
the No GSM thing is random, it comes and goes away.
how can I make it stay?
thanks in advance.
I get 0% flashing now too.
Had a hellish time, my radio seems to have been dying over weeks with more and more "no gsm" message regardless of the radio version.
Tried the official t-mobile uk wm6 rom and it crashed (no percentage dialog appeared on the mobile, only the "usb" connected tri colour)
Now when I tried to go to radio 1.50 it is stuck at 0%
Eventually disconnected it and I get the tricolour now and nothing seems to work
try using Mtty, and select USB in the drop down.
Then in the cmd> area, type "set 16 0"
should bring u back to OS with radio still screwy.
then try that Hima Rom link i posted 1 page back.
When flashing the hima rom, just stop it once it says there's an error.
then flash it with a normal rom with radio.
thats how i got my radio back, but it's still screwy.
I wonder if anyone here can help out.
Thanks

That has worked so for, thanks.
FYI I have a bad block (638) which "task 2a" seems to do nothing too.
What is the proper output of a successful task 2a?
Will try the rom soon.
I downloaded the rom but neither exe works.
Sorry a bit of a noob at this.
What I do now?
did u enable active sync and use the NO-ID.exe?
note:cross post
sorry for the late reply
i have been dealing with this for 3 days and finally managed to run official AT&T rom for 4 days wout hard reset.
there is a method dumping an official himalaya rom to hermes. az pof explained in one of his posts all commands except radio commands are different in himalaya so it is safe to use dumping method.
it basically deletes everything in radio rom so you can install official rom.
PS: at first install official rom stucked %12 i said damn but in second try %15 third try; success
i am at work now i dont have the link of method but try googling or searching my posts (not too much )
i hope it solves your problem
bartan
does NO GSM still appear once in awhile?
thanks
Hi
I am back. I have been trying to rom update but no luck so far. It just stalls at 12%.
I gave up on this.
it cost 270 ish to repair it from HTC.
so i drew my phone against the wall and it felt a lot better.
still works tho.
for 270 ish, I can get a new phone.
It lives!!!!!
I used the official HTC rom including radio.
Firstly I put the phone in bootloader mode.
I then ran MTTY and executed:
Code:
USB> password BsaD5SeoA
USB> set 1e 1
USB> erase a0040000 c80000
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000
USB> erase a1940000 640000
USB> set 1e 0
I then ran:
Code:
USB> info8 (which returned a bad block - 638)
USB> task 2a
I then closed mtty but did not reboot my phone.
I then ran the rom update utility with the rom and the phone flashed fully (give it plenty of time).
Who knows how stable it will be but damn it feels good to have my phone back.
Calls out are confirmed working so far.
Good luck all
CONGRATS!
for me None of those commands work.
I kept getting errors.
hey zero when you're in bootloader how did you get mtty to work? it keeps saying "usb port cannot open" when i try
I unlocked a Cingular 8125 and went to load TNT Professional ROM. The phone kept losing communication at 99% and when I went to reload the original ROM from HTC's site, now I have NO O/S. I DO have another one, but my wife is using it until we get her a pink BlackJackII. I really like these phones, and can't believe I crashed this one! I don't have any Mini-SD cards. Any way to rebuild this thing?
Nobody has any ideas for me? I really need to get this phone running again!
Your not using Vista are you?
Most comm errors are due to weak or discharged battery,not having enough juice to complete the the flash,get it fully charged and try again,secondly,Yes! don't use winVista.
Download the official stock rom and flash to recover back.Get the phone in Bootloaders (RGB screen) hook up the phone and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloaders,if its there,run the rom to flash,it'll start to flash,but if small usb is not present than most probably its a comm fault.
I was using a Win2K machine. I had 2 batteries that were fully charged. I have a friend that will lend me his miniSD adapter and use my 1gig microSD card to get the info off my wife's phone and copy it to this one. He has a Sprint version of the AT&T Tilt. Might see if he wants to check out this site.
OK. I have access to a miniSD card now. Do I just take my wife's 8125, make a backup from it, then put the card in the bricked phone and load bootloader?
Read this thread for more specific instructions :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
But this method will only work if both the devices are already CID unlocked.Secondly,most important,both the devices shud be of same DOC Chip version,G3 or G4.If you back up a rom of G3 on a G4 device,it'll brick it and vice versa,make sure both the devices are of same DOC Chip version.
They are both G3's. I think they may even be from the same batch. If I unlock hers, won't I lose all her data?
YUP ! but first make a back up of all the personal data on her phone to your pc,for this use either 'PimBackup' or any similar back up application and than unlock it.Its necessary to have both phones CID unlock,otherwise,this method won't work.
OK, I used Lokiwiz 3beta and superCID unlocked the other one. When I run mtty, and use the r2sd all command, I get
R2SDBackup()-Download type=5
usTotalBlock= 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512
I have left it sitting there for an hour and nothing else happens. Isn't it supposed to have several more lines of text scroll by? Also, I can't figure out how to get the dead one to boot to the miniSD.
ok,did you read the method carefully,the link I posted above ? you are getting it correctly.
This methods involves many steps.
Step 1.
Back up all the data on your wife's phone to your pc with 'PIMbackup',than downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx either through flashing 'Button's Rom 1.05 or you can even flash official stock rom Aku1 for this,when getting IPL/SPL 1.xx either way,apply lokiwiz02b and not lokiwiz 3beta to CID unlock your wife's phone,or you can use WST_4.2.2 tool also to CID unlock it,but its must to have IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock in both the ways.Only after getting the phone CID unlocked,you can Backup the rom on a miniSD card.
Step 2.
After successfully back up of the rom on miniSD card,insert this card in your dead phone and get the phone into Bootloaders mode (RGB screen).
Step 3.
Run the MTTY command to back up from miniSD card.This is only possible if you already have this phone CID unlocked,otherwise it won't work.
Both the devices must be CID unlocked.
Although,I'm still not sure if it works,but there's no harm to try,may be it gets going.
Is the progress bar supposed to change back and forth from blue-green to red while flashing?
YUP ! it changes during flash,but it'll become green on 100% completion and the phone reboots.
OK. I can't get this thing to take the WizardLove ROM, can't find Button's ROM, but I am trying to load the XDAMiniS ROM now. On my third try and the SPL still says 2.25. Battery is fully charged and I get an immediate connection failure trying to load WizardLove. I really wish I could find the original Cingular ROM for this phone, not the new(er) update.
Download Cigular official stock rom from here :-

I am just about ready to give up on this thing. No matter what I do, when I try to boot it up regular, it still keeps freezing up and when I try to do a hard reset, I get a format is failed error message.
Last ditch effort
Can I use WST to make a backup RUU from the working phone and flash that to the dead one? All other attempts have failed to restore this phone.
I dont think so
Men you are already doing everything!!!
Does you have mtty... try this please it may works for you let us know what happend please...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420785 the man in this thread stucks on splash screen so read just the mtty steps.
BTW does you unlock your wife's phone... is yours unlocked too? before do it...please respond.
The hope dies at the end!!!!! we have so much to´pics about this issue... why you are runing windows 2000? nad make upgrades? or does I missunderstood? extremely recomended Win XP.
I have Vista at home, and I read where many people here say that you can't do reflashes with Vista, so I use my computer at work, which runs Win2K. I haven't unlocked the second phone, but I thought that I did the first one. That was why I went to flash it. I wonder if the unlock didn't take and that put me in this predicament.
I understand now
Maybe a mistake using windows milenium or 2000 or whatever...
So if it say format failed i cant imagine other thing that do the thing i post you... so if you got questions about clear DOC Chip ask everything...
when you already get everything in a XP machine tell us please oh just for a recomendation unplug the minisd and during the process the mtty working on some lines dont launch programs check your USB cable maybe with a little scratch and moving makes a false contact at all.

thnx Neo..HTTP 404 NOT FOUND
That`s not from me, that`s the tread:
Problem solved ! Please, stick this post up - I saw A LOT of people in this forum to ask how to resolve situation with "STUCK ON START-UP SCREEN" ... no one full answer. So ... solution :
1 step. Download one working for YOUR G3 or G4 version ROM. You can easly recognize the difference
G4 ROM on startup screen looks like
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.13.0001
Look at last digit - if it's like 0001 - its G4 ROM. If it ends like 2.00.000, or just 2.00 - then its G3 hardware version.
So G4 (2.XX.0001) users can use any G4 ROM like this one ( tested by me ) -> ftp://xda:[email protected]_ship.zip
G3 (2.XX) users can use this ROM -> ftp://xda:[email protected]_v2307.exe This ROM is not tested by me, but I have read a lot of good responses about it.
2 step. First prepare the phone - full charge battery. After that, hold CAM + COMM buttons ( on the left side of the phone ) and reset it. You will be bringed to so sadly famous "three colors screen". Now connect your phone through USB and start Updating program that you have downloaded before. Sit back for about 15 minutes ( dont get nervous when it stucks on 80% ... it had to pass it after time). If everything goes smooth - after reset you must to have working phone again.
2A step. If you get error message ( like I did first time )
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
You have to make few steps, a little more complicated then pressing NEXT buton couple of times.
First, download this cracked version of ROM Update Utility program. Can be found here -> ftp://[email protected]/Pro...NoVendorID.zip , then
1. Download and install WinRAR ( http://www.rarlabs.com/ )
2. Click with right button on program that updates ROM ( like RUU_Prophet_G3_2151327_AKU23_023021_P12MB_PDAMobiz _v2307.exe ) and choose Extract to...
3. Replace in directory you just extract archive file ROMUpdateUtility.exe with the same file from the archive you have downloaded early (ftp://[email protected]/Pro...NoVendorID.zip )
4. Now, run ROMUpdateUtility and this time there will be no WRONG VENDER ID error.
Good Luck
NEO thanks for your time..
my jamin is G4 ..when i open the ftp link you gave ..>Prophet>shipped complete updates....i cant find _ship updates... only radios,ext roms
so what should i use in this case...
thnxs again
You must flashed an orig. WM5 rom. Please search. I can`t do this things for you. So many treads are here, about your problem.
