How to: upgrade to WM6 without a PC! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

It is possible - I've just done it. I'm away from home and I've been using my Hermes (with WM5 AKU 3.3) to get my iBook online all week. Finally WM6 has appeared but I'm stuck with no Windows PC to perform the upgrade...but XDA-Developers gave me all I needed to do it. Here's the outline of how to do it (you'll need to figure out some finer details yourself, but I will help where possible if you get stuck).
1) You need just the .nbh file from the WM6 package of your choice. Unfortunately they are built into Windows installers. I downloaded XDA-Live and extracted the .nbh file using Virtual PC.
2)
i) Backup your storage card.
ii) Format your storage card. (I used a program called "Storage Tools" for this).
ii) Rename the WM6 .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of the empty storage card.
3) Get Des' SSPL program from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34184&d=1171162518
4) Put the SSPL executable on your phone and run it. Cross your fingers. The phone should enter the bootloader and offer to upgrade the OS using the image it finds on the storage card.
And that's it. Once I'd figured this out, the method is straighforward. The part that has taken me all day is getting the image file extracted from a Windows world and onto a blank storage card using only a Mac and the phone itself (and no other internet connection)!
Hope this is useful to someone else.
Edit: typo.

Great! This method is much safe than other methods that depends on USB because you don't have to worry about someone unplug the USB cable, or if the PC will hang during the flashing process.
Maybe the only thing to check is to ensure that the device to have enough battery for flashing
BTW, how long will it takes for this SD upgrade method?

Brilliant!
Very ingenious solution! I'm not ready to flash yet, I want to see some bugs worked out of the WM6, but when I'm ready will probably try it your way just to see how it works!

Awesome, I'm using Vista, and I don't want to install XP just to flash Thank you.

Will this work with the Universal? I'm getting Vista soon and I want to be able to reflash if I need to.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't time it but I'd guess it only took about 5 minutes.

You CAN flash on Vista using regular ROM updaters (the .EXEs). That's how I upgraded to AKU 3.3 recently (I don't have an XP machine either).
You do it by connecting in bootloader mode so that "HTC USB Sync" appears in Vista's Device Manager. Then you replace that driver with the one from 2004 (I got mine off the CD that came with the phone). Then the ROM updater works

Now is there a way to exec the sspl.exe on boot? So that some of the bricked users can jump start into bootloader and flash any rom.

unfortunately not... sspl is a wince EXE.

Radio ROMS's
Does anyone know if the Radio only ROM's can be flashed by this method also. If you can do you name the .nbh file the same or use a different name.

You can flash any NBH file, radio os or whatever. But not extracted radio roms in NBF, only in NBH. The file must be named HERMIMG.nbh.

ok now back to the drawing board then... do you know whether the SPL can be forced into Service mode via the RomUpgradeUT.exe file... have been doing some digging around in the DLL's and EXE and found some info about a 'Service' mode....

Not sure if I understand your question.... the so called "service mode" is what we call "booltoader mode" or "tri-color screen".... just the same.
On normal RUU, the bootloader mode is invoked by EnterBootloader.exe, on custom RUU EnterBootloader.exe file has been replaced with SSPL-HERM.exe.

yes i know that BootLoader is a type of Service mode... i was talking about a different procedure... it looks like a command from the RomUpgradeUT file to signal the bootloader to just to flash the ROM and not check the RUU sig's, model type etc....

That's not possible with the normal IPL+SPL on device, load them on IDA Pro and you'll see what it exactly does, its small enough to follow all the disassembled code with the samsung manual in hand.

so......if i want to flash both radio and wm6,
all i have to do .. is to extract the nbh file from .exe using winrar or something and rename it, put it into a formated sd card.. and run the sspl thing and do the same for wm6 ?

yes hellokittyr, that's right.

Hi pof,
have you tried to digg into the radio ROM as well? Probably with the right manual in hand one could seperate the RBL from the rest and create a 1.35.00.11 radio ROM with RBL 0107.

Country ID Error

I have the T-Mobile ROM 1.60 currently installed on my I-Mate. Now I am trying to install the latest I-Mate update, I keep getting Country ID Error 120. Anyone know a solution? It seems we need some kind of AdaptROM...
The same for me yesterday ERROR 120, I try anyway but no results
I think that new ROM only for I- mate Device with special IMEI Number :evil:
Any ideas? :?:
I upgrade to i-mate update and I try to upgrade to T-Mobile I get the same error!!
anyone can help?
try to hard way...
unzip the ruu15283wwe_cdl.exe file,
you'll find there the *.nbf files.
Use the files to flash with SD card.
I'm not sure if this also works with the XDA II, but try XDATools:

It seems not possible by writing just writing the nbf to SD card and flash to the XDA 2 anymore.
Because the bootloader will check the first 412 bytes (i believe it is the code on the last line of the 412 bytes, somthing like HTCSA00400000XXXXXXXX.............) of the rom on the SD card match with your machine or not. Therefore without any modification, only the ROM dump from the Machine itself can be flashed.
Moreover, nbf is encoded, you can't just edit it by HEX editor, you have to get the rom in nb1 format.
I think XDA developers have to develop new tools to
1. Get the first 412 byte of the rom from your machine in an easier way. Now we have to use Multiport / USB TTY get into bootloader console, dump the rom to SD card , and use ntrw read the SD Raw data to the computer to get this 412 byte. You need a HEX Editor to do so. (Please correct me if I said something wrong).
We can
a) develop an APP to get the 412bytes from SD to harddisk without using a HEX editor
b) directly read this 412 bytes from the XDA2 if possible.
2. A Rom tools that can add your machine's own first 412bytes (or the code) , combine it with a .nb1 or .nbf and write it to a SD card.
By the way , I think a new adoptrom support XDA2 will be the best solution 8)
note added by itsme: this will very likely break your devie!! - better look at sdtool
same problem
i'm having the same problem, installed imate update, now i cant install the t-mobile update.
nobody seems to know how to fix this
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPP
try this
Hi,
another idea... :idea:
try to unzip (using winrar i.e.) the file ruu15283wwe_cdl.exe,
and run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe
It might work!
I got error, the device is not connected, or something like that, while trying to use the original file, but with the HimaUpgradeUt it works!

Custom RUU Updater

OK, I've finalised an RUU Updater with inclusive tools to allow you to Bake your own ROMs from the ones already out there
this does NOT mean you can edit the OS files, simply mix'n'match
The RUU Updater also will run the SSPL for you meaning that you can use this RUU to flash *ANY* ROM to your PDA even if it is fresh out of the box (but please do take care when doing so)
There is no NBH included in this file, and you will need to place one in the directory you extract this to in order to run it.
Eventually I will release a GUI app to simplify the ROM baking process, but for now, feel free to experiment, and remember, you *CAN* delete components from the NBHGen sample file (say for example you didn't want to flash a new Radio), but please remember to ensure that all files are named correctly.
Download: (UPDATED VERSION, INCLUDES AUTOMATED GUI TOOL)

Please note that the GUI tool is relatively primitive; please keep all files INSIDE the workshop folder, thanks

I made NBH radio only upgrade posted here:
Here are Radio ROMs:

1.34 http://uploadingit.com/files/8194/NBH Radio Only 1.34.00.10.zip
Just a note: there's a GUI for the workshop now; remember that you don't have to create a NBH with EVERY .NB and you can select which ones to include (therefore, IPL and SPL can generally be discluded)
Thanks For The Files wpbear. Hopefully The First Of Many Cooked Software To Come From This Forum Now We Have Discovered The Secrets Of Our Hermes.

will this still push SSPL onto the device while it is in bootloader mode? if so then this is the breakthrough everyone has been wanting for device recovery...

Need to go back to factory SPL for warranty

My micro drive has issues, I am unable to copy anything to it reliably anymore, even MP3's are impossible, it seems to go off line and become unavailable.
I want to get it repaired under warranty but I am stuck at SPL 3.5, is there any way to flash back to the factory SPL and OS?
Or does anyone have any ideas on making the microdrive work properly again?

Beware! this do not change back once you had the 3.5 version.
SPL3.5 is a one way ticket.
I will try a hard reset again, The last lite version I loaded was based on the TMobile rom and seemed buggy to me.
Has anyone else had this microdrive issue? The drive works if there is very little on it, once I get to 3Gig or more of data the drive access times slow to a crawl, from 1500kbps writes to 10kbps. I am assuming the drive is dying or dead, I tried a format from the control panel applet, I also tried the recover microdrive, same issues. I also tried WM5Storage and formatting from within windows, still no luck.
I was going to try to go back to AP4, but once I loaded AP3Touch SPL3.5 I am unable to go back to AP4.
any ideas?
You might try downloading pocket mechanic and running scandisk and then format. I believe it has a trial.
www.wizcode.com
It has worked for me on the microdrive.
@GuardianZX9
Try flashing te ndh file of AP4 with the flashloader of one of the irus roms. It worked for me.

when you run the .exe it unpacks all the usual NBH/RUU files to a temp folder on your computer, after it has brought up the first config screen do a search on your computer for NBH files ! (dont forget to tick the boxes that lets it search in hidden, system, and sub-folders under the advanced tab)

Bricked-ROM and Radio don't Match

So I haven't upgraded a Titan in while, but a friend wanted me to upgrade his. It's a US Cellular and I put DCD Reloaded on it and forgot it didn't include the radio. so here's what's going on.
As I said before I put DCDs 4 Reloaded.
I had loaded Nuespl 2.47, BUT now THr bootloader is saying it's back too SPL 1.07.0000.
The RADIO is 1.64.00.
THe ROM is 3.2.6.
It stuck on the HTC load screen. I have tried to load the 3.42.50 Radio via SD, but it will say loading and nothing happens. The SD is formatted FAT32 with 1024 allocation. Being US Cellular I don't have access to the stock ROM. Soooo, in short what do I do from here?
Did you name the radio TITAIMG.nbh for flashing with micro sd? What you could do is re-flash the bootloader (use olipro 2.40). When that is done flash a Official Sprint ROM GPS v 3.35 and up. Then flash the titan reloaded or whatever GPS enabled rom you are flashing.
Hope this helps, I would guide you through all the steps but I am exhausted. You can find all that stuff by searching here or ppcgeeks. The olipro 2.40 is on my share site. Sprint ROMS you can get some from htc and some from searching forums.

I have been trying that. OK so with the SD flash which I have never done before this time. Do I put the Unlocker and the Radio on the card at the same time or do I do them one at a time? Thanks in advance.
One at a time. It is not possible to have two files named exactly a like on a card at the same time.

Ok but the unlocker and the Radio DO have different names. Though I have been trying to added them one at a time, however on the bootloader screen it will say "loading" for either half a second or will freeze on "loading". The end result is still nothing changing, same SPL and same Radio. Im following ever thing to the T form the wiki, but it doesn't seem to work as they say it will.
The unlocker need to be done first.

I do this and it doesn't "update" anything I formated the SD in FAT32 w/ 1024 allocation, put the unzipped unlocker onthe card boot the phone in to the boolaoder mode it will load for like a half second and go back to the bootlaoder but the SPL doesn't update it stays stock 1.07.0000. I don't get what I'm missing?
I really don't know what unlocker you are using. But I haven't heard of an unlocker that can be run in bootloader. For example 2.47 can be opened in WM. I thought you might have found the .nbh for a unlocker but it sounds like you are putting a zip file on the card which won't work.

I'm following these instructions.
Upgrade via the microSD (<=2GB) card
(Thanks to No2Chem - donate here)
IMPORTANT: The nueROM web site indicates that nueSPL version 2.47 is designed for the HTC Titan with GPS enabled only (ROM versions 3.xx or higher). Any other device will be permanently and irreversibly damaged by this version of boot loader. (Please use your OEM's latest signed radio ROM to get to this version or higher before trying to install.)
Copy the nueSPL-2.47.exe file from the nueSPL-2.47 package onto your device. (A PDF file with instructions is also included in the package.)
Using File Explorer, run the nueSPL-2.47 application from where you copied it, read the license agreement, then press CONTINUE if you accept.
Read the prerequisite screen carefully. If it indicates that you do not have a FAT32 formatted partition, you will need to format your microSD card by pressing FORMAT (WARNING: this will erase any data on the microSD card).
If you meet all of the requirements, press CONTINUE. It will take approximately 10 seconds for nueSPL to copy the TITAIMG.nbh ROM to your microSD card, then nueSPL will automatically reboot your phone in order to load the ROM.
After the reboot, you will be prompted to press the POWER button to begin updating the new SPL boot loader. Once the installation is complete, the phone will reboot.
Allow your phone to fully reboot. Once your phone is rebooted, open File Explorer and inspect to see if your storage card contains the file TITAIMG.nbh. If it is present, delete it before continuing.
Press and hold the CAMERA and POWER buttons at the same time and hold down the RESET button (with stylus) until you enter a multi-color bootloader screen. You should see a screen that says SPL-2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT. If you see this text, your SPL has been sucessfully updated. If you do not, press the RESET button and start over from step 1.
I don't get where I'm going wrong?
Are you able to boot to windows to even run the .exe?
if you are unable to boot the phone bc the rom and radio do not match and you say that the spl is stock you won't be able to change it to unlock without being able to boot into the phone to flash the proper spl onto it to ublock it. Here is what your choices are.
Go to HTC's website http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=75&cat=2&dl_id=73 scroll to the bottom of this page select the sprint tv win mobile 6.1 upgrade and then a us server then click download.
Let the file download.
Run the file and let it get to the welcome to the rom update utility screen. Minimize the window do not close it.
Go to my computer and do a search for RUU_signed.nbh you should see one come up in the list if not you need to find your computers temp folder inside of your user profile. For example mine is C:\Users\Gator\AppData\Local\Temp (windows 7 vista and xp might be named a little different) inside that folder in the same search again.
Once you find that file rename it and to TITAIMG.nbh and load it onto your sd card. Put the card in the phone and put it in the boot loader mode Power + Camera held down + push the reset button in. The phone should load the rom and you will see the press the power button to begin the update.
This should work because the rom is signed.
Upon the first boot of the phone calibrate the screen yada yada. When u see the device will automatically customize in 3 seconds soft reset the phone.
Take the storage card out and put the nue spl 2.47 file on it. Run that to unlock the phone if it does not work it just means u need to load .net 3.5 on the phone b4 running the utility. http://rapidshare.de/files/39254419/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.html
Once you are unlocked and good to go u can now download whatever rom ie the dcd reloaded rom. Take the file zip or rar open it copy out the RUU_signed.nbh file rename to TITAIMG.nbh load it on sd card and do the bootloader process it will flash and u are good to go.
That would be the best way to do it i think as trying from the computer always leads to complications with the operating system or the user or the ppc giving you update errors.
You can try if you cannot locate the RUU_signed.nbh (that gets placed in a temp folder). To put the phone in the bootloader with it hooked up to the pc you will see it say usb @ the bottom instead of serial. Load the sprint udate utility that you downloaded and go through all the checks and nexts till it tries to update the phone. It will not show the current rom info but it should be able to flash the phone as all the utility does is put it in bootloader anyway b4 flashing.
Good Luck.

It's giving me an "Invalid Vendor" error. THe phone is a US Cellular model.
Also is there any way to go about this via usb from the booloader screen? The bootloader is stock 1.07.000.
Thank you all for your help, I've done this all before RIGHT but now that I have a Vogue I'm a bit spoiled but the ROM/Radio combos.
You cannot flash that new sprint rom and radio with that bootloader. Simple. I told you put olipro 2.40 on there via its own RUU. Its a exe how simple? Then you can simply from there flash a gps radio using RUU or MicroSD, Then flash a custom GPS enabled ROM using RUU or MicroSD. Each file needs done one at a time obviously. For RUU flashing the .nbh file should be named or renamed RUU_signed.nbh, for using MicroSD the .nbh file should be named or renamed to TITAIMG.nbh
And here is a PM I sent lacrizzle

You could also try extracting the .nbh from the Olipro 2.40 exe. Some exe's have extractable contents and some are not. Use winrar, or 7zip. Olipro.exe is extactable and you will fine the .nbh in there. Then rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and flash using microsd method. This way seems to work when people are really really having problems. Then complete the other steps to get back to custom ROM.
There is no need for him to install a Sprint rom that wouldn't help him any. Unzip and add put the attached 2.47 Nue unlocker .nbh on your sd card and put the phone in bootloader. After the new bootloader is installed just update your radio by sd card and you are good to go.

I really don't know what unlocker you are using. But I haven't heard of an unlocker that can be run in bootloader. For example 2.47 can be opened in WM. I thought you might have found the .nbh for a unlocker but it sounds like you are putting a zip file on the card which won't work.

Any reason why It took you four posts to realize a solution for the guy? Now all of a sudden you know of a unlocker that can be ran via micro sd in bootloader. Now all of a sudden you know the stock sprint ROM will not help him any.
Well seems like you may have been doing a little reading, and re-emphasizing since then.
We are all eager to help and are providing different solutions until his problem is fixed. I have posted and PMed the user several solutions including updating the bootloader first then the radio, then the custom ROM. Hopefully with all of our answers and knowledge the user will get his problem sorted out.
It is the same unlocker as before I just took the time to extract the .nbh from the .exe of the unlocker.
Whats the chances you found out that you could extract the .nbh from my post above? Then just applied it to the no2chem 2.47 unlocker?

You could also try extracting the .nbh from the Olipro 2.40 exe. Some exe's have extractable contents and some are not. Use winrar, or 7zip. Olipro.exe is extactable and you will find the .nbh in there. Then rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and flash using microsd method. This way seems to work when people are really really having problems.

Good work though, maybe flashing the 2.47 unlocker via micro sd will work out for the user. I always use olipro but I guess thats personal preferrence.
To bad that wasn't the case since this .exe is a wm executable so I wasn't following your instructions. Sorry about your luck
Very true, I didnt know that it was a WM exe. But like I already said I may have turned you on to the idea of extracting the .nbh from there wether you can use traditional methods or not. I also have never used that (from what I hear and read) buggy no2chem 2.47 unlocker.
But like I am saying you didn't turn me onto anything.

[Q] how do i run CustomRUU

Please please help
I have read lots of threads and have downloaded the radio i need (2.07.50.27) to run the rom i need (sense 2.5 cookie). It says to Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" (already is named that when extracted) and flash with the CustomRUU.
When I try to run CustomRUU through the handset it says it is not a pocketPC application. When I try to run it through the computer, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in hoping

Hello mate!
First of all: You have HSPL instaled on your device?? If the answer is YES, you could continue.
The CustomRUU.exe is a app for PC, so you need to run it on a PC not on your HD2, OK?!
So, to it work the way it is designed to work, you need to run it as admin (right click on the CustomRUU.exe and select RUN AS ADMIN...).
In case it does not work, you could flash the radio via SDcard (rename the NBH file to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SDcard. Enter in the bootloader and it will tell you what to do.)
Read here for more usefull info about flashing your LEO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Keep reading dude!
Hope it helps!
if customruu does absolutely nothing when you try to run it, chances are your anti virus program has disabled it. You need to turn off your av, and then download it again. (just turning off av is not enough, because it has already disabled customruu as soon as you downloaded it.)
I have the same issue.
HSPL is installed on the phone,
active sync is on,
and I have renamed the radio file and put it in same folder as the customruu.exe
I am running it as the administrator (no antivirus on the computer)
Nothing happens when I double click.
I have tried changing radio files, but still no luck.
I have downloaded customruu from 2 different sources to make sure its not corrupt.
Any ideas?

firstly, no need to rename the nbh file.
second, was there av running when you downloaded it? some av programs disable it as it arrives.
thirdly, you are right clicking and choosing run as administrator? cos just being logged on as administratior isn't the same. (though its less important for customruu than for hspl)
what operating system?
Hi samsamuel,
Thanks for the help.
I dont have a virus scan at all.
Laptop is running windows xp, there is only one account and it has administrator rights.
I have right clicked > Run As > Following User - there are 2 options, administrator or vik.
Admin account has not been set up, but I had a go at selecting it anyway (no luck),
also no luck with my main account "vik"
in that case only. suggestion i have is use sd card to flash, or try a different comp. sorry.
thanks mate, I have tried it on another computer and it has worked fine.
Updated the radio and now using andriod. cheers for the help
