crashed update - 5.17 bootloader & restore doesn't work

I was doing a rom upgrade which failed after updating the bootloader to the progress bar - so far no prob. Was happy to re-cradle the device and start again, which was happy to begin until it came back with;
The ROM image you are trying to upgrade is not compatible [to] your Pocket PC.
Here are the differences;
Your Device Information;
Model: PW10A1:001
ROM Version: 4.00
Language English
Your Upgraded Image Information;
Model: PW10A1:007
ROM Version: 3.16
Language English
Please download the compatible utility and try again.
OK, I have tried both ROM kitchens and am unable to create an image of type .nbf with the NBF Header string which will fool the installer. A couple of times I received a failure in the kitchen with folders non-existent, but more recently completed the build but still no joy. Have tried all possible rom bases.
I was able to create a Bootloader patch SD, but only after unsuccessful timewasting with XDARit 1.2, finally found 1.0 and voila. Of course now I get the diagnostic menu but cannot seem to create a correct image SD to boot because it always reverts to the patch menu again when I tell it to restore. I don't think I am doing anything wrong in image creation, and have tried both the XDARit and XDATools method. No joy.
Any clues? At the moment it is not heavy enough for a boat anchor, and the white screen is not bright enough for a torch!
Appreciate any suggestions asap.
Cheers,
David

Which ROM do you want? I have got the all a part from 4.00.16.
Let me know and I email you it.
:wink:

re: crashed update
Ritmo-Unido thanks for that. Not sure any of my ISPs will allow 16Mb of attachment though. 4.00.16 sounds like the go. Let's give it a try. Otherwise share it under Kazaa or something and I will find it if you like.

Extra information for those others interested; reading through other posts this is a problem other Australian owners appear to have had also. Must be something peculiar to the Asian 5.17 Wallaby?

problems with 8525 Lost Radio & gms

first thing done to the phone was to use Hard-SPL-V7 then I used OS 5.2.20924 (Build 20924.1.5.0 PV DVH) Black(Full) BS V27.exe changed to Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.57a_Full_28-07.exe
phone work great radio was fine for a week and lost it yesterday change back to Hard-SPL
I can't load any radio alone but loaded full roms tried RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship loads all the way but no radio

Are you sure the stock rom had a radio rom in it? If you got from here and tried it may have been a stripped rom. Try running the Shipped ROM. It may recover or may not. Radio roms are the Achille's heel of the Hermes...

satriani22, right click on the .exe file . It should have the option to "extract here". This will give you all the file. I believe you will need to search through the folders to find the RUU_Wrapper.nbh file.
Copy to an sd card formated FAT32 (must be 2Gb or less) and rename to Hermimg.nbh. Put in Hermes & reset to bootloader. Follow the prompts.
YOU MUST HAVE HARD SPL INSTALLED TO DO THIS.
This is not a sure fire way to fix this problem, you may not be able to fix this...
Make sure you flash the SHIPPED STOCK ROM, not just a stock rom from anywhere.
Good Luck...

Any Idea or link where I can get the stock radio could use the help still a little lost ..

What carrier supplied the device? If it was AT&T, doo a search for the AT&T ROM. I don't know if they still have an upgrade on their site as most carriers don't support the Hermes anymore.

Radio
downloaded radio1.54.07.00 which is strip out of AT & T rom tried from computer to flash fail loaded the RUU_signed.nbh renamed it to hermimg.nbh copy to sd tried gets about a quater of the way and locks up any ideas ?

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday mate, bit busy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it may be that you have a permanent brick on your hands....
The radio rom is the number 1 cause of permanent bricks. If the memory area of the radio is corrupted then its impossible to fix. I have yet to see ANYONE say that they have permanently recovered the radio rom successfully.

Ipaq 612c Chinese to English HELP!

Hi,
I just bought a second hand Ipaq 612c from Hong Kong. I want to change the chinese rom to english.
I tried the win 6.5 and sergie's 6.1 rom but they don't work. I load the FLASH.DIO into a 2gb sd card (newly formatted into Fat16). I held record + mute while pushing the on button. It displays the OS (1.00.04) and radio (0.81) with the message "clean boot" at the top. Afterwards it just loads into the original chinese WM6.
I also tried updating the OS and radio but it won't allow me saying the language is different (CHT OS vs WWE OS) and the sku is different (for the radio).
I tried searching for help but can't find any in the search.
Can anyone tell me step by step instructions? I can't read chinese so it makes this even more difficult
Thank you.
ps. I have a 3g sim card that I tried putting in but it doesn't work. other normal sims work right away. any ideas?

solved it.
From the H91X brick and change any language into english thread i found the existence of the "romupdate.dll"
which lead to further readings and *bam* im done. its in english. yay
but still wondering why the record+mute didn't flash and why my 3g sim card doesnt work...

fix.
found out that my mute button wasn't pushed. I guess buying 2nd hand does have its cons. but after using the stylus to push it the SDLoader came up and everything is fine. the new rom reads the sim card as well.

The New T3238 HTC/HTY/Dopod/Whatever
I have the same problem - calibrating screen
But I think our problem its a bit more complicated:
I got a T3238 yesterday. Look this device information:

I was accessing 999ppc.com looking for information about the Rom P638 and this Rom is related to Huawei K3 processor.
In the box is a Qualcomm, the device says it is a Marvel, but is a Huawei?
I also found a wm6.5 Rom, but in chinese.
Will another wm6.5 WWE/EN Rom work in my cellphone ? I was trying to use Jade23071wwe but it cannot retrieve the actual rom version.
How can I flash it ? I also didnt find a hard-spl to work...
Help pls!!!!

Update mode for HTC/HTY 3238 phone - FOUND
I found the update mode in my 3238:
Hold power + volume down + send button (green button).
But not sure to upgrade to WM6.5 because bios information above.... Anyone have tried ?

I have wm 6.5 on my T3238
(build23088) - no outgoing calls
(build21222) (in first post) - no problems

You updated using a smart.upr file or a .bin file ?
I tried a upr, but my cellphone does not recognize.
My Bios is a P638M30 EN, so i suppose my processor is a K3 not Marvell.
I found a rom for this bios at 999ppc and DBank (chinese forum) thanks to Google Translate - but the wm6.5 is in chinese ....
This is the filename: P638M30_TH_UI1_L12_C7_CHS_MFGW_WM650_C02SPC002R01_091203.bin
I think a .bin file will work, but I'm afraid to test this chinese rom in my T3238 clone.

my cellphone does not recognize to.....
the name of file is to long.......
i changet name of file on "SMART.upr" and it work
it must work

PLEASE HELP : HD2 broken - need Goldcard - i can make small DONATION

Hi,
first, my HD2 Leo is a french one (SFR operator).
i put lot of ROM without any problem. The last one was the Chucky ROM.
i try to put the "Cruzer 4th" : but it was a ROM based on 3.14/SPL 3.03 official HTC ROM : it broke my HD2.
i try to flash with a old HTC ROM (1.42 / 1.66 ) without success... i try with a old SFR ROM, without success. ("ID invalid vendor" message)
the only solution to get back a old SPL ( 1.42 ) seems to make a goldcard.
so: i search a goldcard for my HD2, and someone who can help me little.
i have money problem, i can't buy a new HD2 (too expensive)....
but i can make a small DONATION via PAYPAL to thanks the guy who help me to recover my HD2.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
NOTE: i don't have any access to windows mobile on my HD2. only the red/green/blue/white screen at boot. only boot via SDCARD can be OK. USB transfert seems be ok.

hint
you can flash from SD Card any firmware, even official with replacing SPL, here is the procedure
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
I do not have experiences with it, so take it just as a hint, to be sure maybe you should try to check some threads about it, for example start with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820038&highlight=rename+ruu_signed.nbh
anyway, if you insist on the goldcard, here is the right thread for you, just put your CID number and wait
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650719

thanks a lot pedro.
i donwload now the SFR ROM... but i think it will don't work..wait and see.
about golden card, i think it will don't work , because i saw i must launch a file (enablerapinew.cab) from my HD2 windows mobile... but i can't !! : i have only the boot screen now (red/green/blue/white)

ok, i try to flash with my original ROM from SFR... not work.
- USB way : HTC flash indicator stay always at 0%
- SDCard way: have only the "loading" message advitam

Hope this helps,

Renaming a,stock nbh to leoimg.nbh should work every time. Make sure you SD is formatted to fat32 then put the leoimg.nbh on SD card. Remember to extract a stock Rom from HTC website using 7zip or similar and only rename the ruu_signed.nbh hope it works
