Can only access to tri colour after upgrading failure. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi All,
My CHT9000 can only access tri colour after upgrading failure right now.
Before upgrading to Hard-SPL-V7, already verified that the HTC_boot is 0180 and already grabbed supercid. However after clicking "upgrade" button, it displayed "connection error [260]" after a couple of minutes.Currently I can only access to tri colour interface with following information:
IPL is :IPL-1.01
SPL is :SPL-1.40.OLIPRO
Tried another laptop and alternative USB connection cable, still same.
Any thoughts and inputs will be appreciate.

Try flashing with a shipped/original ROM and see.
Regards,
Carty..

Thanks Carty for your reply.
I searched and got following instructions from the forum. A little bit confusion of step6 .Since I can only access to tri-color screen. How can I run sspl-hrm.exe on the phone?
Thanks in advance.
1. download hardspl v7 from the first post.
2. extract ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh
3. copy it to a microsd card, make sure the card is formatted as fat32
4. download sspl-herm from here
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. you should see the tri-color screen and then it should change to this
8. press power button to start flashing
9. reset when you get the msg that its done.

Hi phoebe0616,
before you try all that stuff, please check this first:
1. Grab the tool mtty and put it on your host
2. disconnect active sync and disable all active sync connections
3. connect your device to host and open up mtty using usb connection
4. type enter once, now you are in the bootloader console
5. type: set 14 0
6. reboot
7. if you're still in bootloader after, repeat steps 3..6 but type another command: set 16 0
8. Read the wiki!!!

scholbert

Appreciate your help, Scholbert
Will let you know the result later.

Although "set 14 0" didn't resolve it, "set 16 0" made it.
Thanks all.
Unfortunately, I have an additional issue right now. After reading following article carefully. I renamed "RUU_signed.nbh" in Hard-SPL-V7 to "HERMIMG.nbh" and did exactly as the description in the article.I was able to get the confirmation that the upgrade is complete. However after softreset, it looks nothing changed, "SPL-2.10.OLIPRO" is supposed to be displayed instead of "SPL-1.40.OLIPRO". Another quite weird thing is whole flashing process took no more than 5 seconds.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hey phoebe0616,
that's really weird:
You just updated the bootloader successfully from "SPL-1.40.OLIPRO" to "SPL-2.10.OLIPRO" using the SD-card method...
Funny guy
Take a look at the filesize of this small part of software, that's why it took only 5 sec., that's totally normal
I think everything is fine with your device now, isn't it?

Hi Scholbert,
Thanks again. Yes, my guy is working pretty good right now. The only question is why the SPL is still "SPL-1.40.OLIPRO" rather than "SPL-2.10.OLIPRO".

This is because you cannot update hard spl via the sd card method on a hermes. You have to do it following the instructions. You can flash a rom or radio but not the spl.

Thanks Parleyp for your reply.
However each time when I tried to update SPL through PC by running "RUUWrapper", it failed as "Connection Error [260]". And tried two laptops and two different SPL resource and two different USB cables. Both laptops are WIN XP with SP2.

Not true... The instructions from post 6 is the sd card method to flash Hard SPL(If you don't believe me go to page116, post 1160 on the Hard SPL thread). You need to run sspl.exe using the file explorer on your hermes (it needs to be on the phone memory) not the sd card.
Also make sure the card is formatted FAT32 and 2Gb or less.
It will always be quick as the file size is small but I've done it successfully many times for both my own and friends Hermes.
Cheers...

Thank you very much, Ultramag69. You are really sharp.
It works perfectly.
Thank you all of you guys again.

Glad to hear it.
Now, if you want to flash a new rom, I'd suggest using the sd card method as I feel its safer. Just leave out the steps using SSPL.exe as you now have Hard SPL installed...
Welcome to the wonderful world or rom flashing...

Receiving Error 011: in trying to unlock XDA1

I've been trying for several weeks now to unlock my XDA1 Wallaby without success. Some members have tried to help but no joy. In trying to load the Special Edition ROM I get the Error 011 message per the attached screen grab. Can anyone tell me why this is occurring and what the solution is? My current device ROM is version 4.01.16ENG, Radio Version 6.25.02, Protocol version 32e4.
Any help with this frustrating issue would be much appreciated. Willing to make a phone call if you can help. Thanks.
It´s a very easy solution.
Your installed ROM prohibits flashing via Exe....
Extract the special Edition ROM with winzip or anything else. You got an folder called English. In this folder is a file NK.nbf with about 32 MB. This File you will need for flashing via SD-Card.
Instructions how to flash via SD could be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2
are complete instructions what you have to to to unlock your device.
Step 6 is not a must. If you get an error Message you should be able to process without downgrading the bootloader....
Stefan
Stefan,
Thanks for your response. I followed the instructions you pointed me to but they are a little unclear. I first copied the ROM image to my SD Card while in my device (I later assumed the instructions meant to write the ROM image to the SD Card via a card reader, which I don't have).
After downloading to the SD Card in my device I held the power button and soft reset which displayed on screen the message:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
However, nothing happens in touching ACTION on the screen to download. What do I do?
Thanks, David
Don´t know, what you are meaning with "touching ACTION" put you have to press the center of the navigation button on your device to start installation.....
Using the XDA-SD-Slot is also ok. You just have problems if anythhing went wrong, and you don´t have access to this slot any more....
Stefan
Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I've sent a response to your personal email address.

I Need Help PLEASE PLEASE !!

ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.
-pvs
Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.
Good luck,
-pvs
Mr. pvs , I am doing the #2 holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]. I tried to download Hard-SPL 1[1].10, when I open it on my PC it will give me instructions then when I press upgrade I will see 4 color screen the Sync icon will disappear and then it will say that it lost connections.
it looks like i need to update
this what is say

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,
-pvs
No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

device id problem - nothing helps!

After reading hundreds of posts about this error 244 - invalid device id and trying every remedy proposed, I'm still stuck with this bootloader info:
E
IPL-v1.00
E
SPL-v1.25.Olipro
Instead of the "E"s there should be an "ATH100" or so, shouldn't it? No wonder my Ameo won't flash from the SD card.
I stepped into this mess after upgrading from the official T-Mobile WM6.0 to first Athena 4.0 and then to Michi's WM6.1 R6.0 without checking the SPL version. I thought that I have read that Athena 4.0 would upgrade the SPL, but had to learn that Vanilla doesn't the hard way.
Now, how do I get rid of the nasty "E"s?
i also have the same problem
No way to make the MTTY trick work
Additional information:
There seems to be no way to make cmonex' MTTY trick work. I always get tis "Fail to synchronize with the host(1)" error. I tried to run MTTY from C:/ to no avail. And I never got MTTY 0513 to show the USB option while 01.42 does.

Dear lakeman,
thanks for your advice. Except for the mtty post I kew all the others and followed them step by step. I redid them after the hint with the USB cable and I even changed the USB port - still "Fail to synchronize".
What seems interesting is that MTTY 0513 does not show the USB option when the older version does.

Dear Friends,
thanks for your help! I managed to revive my little Athena! Today, I took it to work, connected it to my desktop, disabled USB in ActiveSync, put little Athena in bootloader and conneted it to my desktop, started MTTY 0513 which immediately 'saw' the USB device. From then on it was only a matter of minutes, sinc I had everything prepared (mac.bin and a FAT32 SD card with the boot image).
And now it lives again!
Very kind regards (& a donation)

Dear vovaxxxx,
I wasted hours and hours on my XP machine at home and could not get MTTY to see mx USB connection. I have no idea why it worked like a charm on my business XP system. On both engines I disabled the ActiveSync USB connection, but only on my business site MTTY V0513 could see the USB. MTTY V1.42 coud see USB at home too, but could not upload the mac.bin file.
When I finally succeeded to upload mac.bin (see posts before how to generate this) my Athena 'knew' again what beast it is.
I had initialized a Mini SD card as a FAT32 disk on my PC, and had copied the RUU_signed.nbh file from the AP4 vanilla installation to it, and renamed its to ATHIMG.nbh. Then I inserted this SD card into the SD slot of my Athena, went to bootloader again and it loaded this image automatically.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Yes, different cable

Dear raskell,
yes, it was a different cable in the office. Normally I shuttle my Athena between home and office to sync my calendar and tasks, so both cables are proven to work with data transfers. In my desparate attempts to get MTTY doing what it should do, I tried different cables at home, so I was quite convinced that it wasn't a cable issue, but one never knows!
Both machines, at home and at work, are XP SP3 with all patches, but at home I have an AMD 3800+ and at work an Intel dual processor. Both use different chip sets, so this alone are reasons enough for me to quit looking for causes - one get used to it in the PC/Windows world! (I am a VMS geek for 20+ years now, so please excuse my prejudices!)
Kind regards,
Thomas

Iolite SUPER-CID

I purchased a Taiwanese Iolite (T4242), comes with Chinese version.
I used the QMAT to Change the CID to SperCID and than Just flashed it with :
_file_RUU_Iolite_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.3_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
IT WORKS FLOWSLY... and my device is now WWE.
How to do it:
I just followed the instructions on the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard&action=BackLinks:
• Download QMAT and MTTY from http://rapidshare.de/files/46772105/qmat_and_mtty.zip.html
o The latest copy of QMAT is also found http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
• A spare microSD card
• Optional: a card reader
Format your memory card for FAT32
• If you have a card reader, go to DOS and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
where <volume> specifies the drive letter of the SD card. For example: format d: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
Run QMAT to create the Gold Card
1. Put the newly-formatted SD card in the working WM device and connect to ActiveSync
2. Run QMAT, go to the Hardware Forensics menu, and then select "Generate HTC Goldcard"
3. Select your device's key (Iolite)
4. Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
5. Save the Gold Card image to the SD Card
6. Put the SD card in your device and put it into bootloader mode (hold down the VolumeDown button and press the reset button).
7. Now you have a card which gives you SuperCID.
8. With the card inserted into the Iolite, which is in bootloader mode, connect the Iolite via USB to ActiveSync.
9. From your PC, run the RomUpdateUtility.exe from the RUU folder containing the WWE shipped ROM
It should start flashing if everything is configured properly!
Good Luck
Thank you for your info but the steps are hard to follow, admire your patience!
I flashed mine without making a GoldCard to unlock my Iolite. Mine was in CHS and after flashing become Europe WWE. I am looking for an Asia WWE. There is one in the forum but it can't be flash and I don't know whether it is because it is RUU .... _Test.exe and not ... _Ship.exe
Maybe the GoldCard unlock method will work and not sure it is worthwhile to try.
In fact it is very easy.... if you read it carefully you see that it is just connect your device with a formated sd and than reboot it to boot loader...
The next is flash with any ship rom.
Seems that your country id matched the rom you flashed.. however you will not be able to flash any-rom.
As it seems to me many users are stucked with rom flashing .. Hard SPL has not been around yet.. so this is a nice solution and once again - very easy!!!
Maybe it works. But.... not in unregistered version with Trojan.
Be careful!
You have to purchase a license.

Mmm.... in fact, I did copy the entire directions of "Howto", however I did not even use the MTTY.. pay attention that in my notes, I ignored checking of SuperId setup. The Mtty is required just to check that you have a superid before flashing. It is not required (I think so...) with this machine... it wull not flash if the SuperId did not load.... so just to make it simple : connect the machine, setup the SD card and flash ..... easy no?
I will not load the MTTY from Rapidshare I trust that you checked it and since it is not required... I suggest that you eliminate this step.
Tested from a Taiwanese rom to a European one and it works great. Thanks a lot for the tip !
Need to use the written SD each time...

I am glad that it is a kind of a solution..... however remeber that each time you want to flash the device, you have to have the Super-CID sd in the machine.... and you are set.
OK, this seems to work. Just post here successful stories. And test this on other devices, topaz, rhodium and even htc rose

Galaida, can you try to explain what have you done and what did not work for you? perhaps we can help to resolve the issue?
Should work.... please include in your answer the name of the rom you tried to flash and error messages that you received while in process of the Gold Card.

I am not sure if this was requested... however here is the link to the "home" of the utility:http://revskills.de/pages/download.html
I suggest thta you get it from this site, as other users already reported RapidShare and other may have a Trojan as well.

Unregistered QMAT cannot create GoldCard for Iolite.

Dubi, wait a minute, do you have a registered QMAT or an unregistered version?
As one of the forum member commented, it will take 20 Euros, (more than $30) to register QMAT in order to make a GoldCard with the method you mentioned.
Can you confirm that?

[Resolved] How to format rom? (detailed steps in post #9)

after a number of rom-flashing, i start to encounter some strange and random machine halt. according to some articles, it was suggested that formatting using mtty may help.
could anybody advise what command i should use in mtty or putty in order to do a format? is it still "task 29" as other devices? is it safe to apply the same steps as the Diamond mtty thread on my Topaz?
or, would this tool under the Leo forum work on Topaz as well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
i tried to google on above, but can not yet find a specific answer for Topaz (but only for some other devices).
thanks in advance.

Don't know about the tool you mention, but i've been using mtty (with the same steps described in the diamond thread) and got no issues. (task 29 is working ok). Just remember to put a ROM (named TOPAIMG.nbh) in the root of the SD card, so you can flash right after.
p.s. for me is working fine, but i don't take any responsibility in case of trouble (just a disclaimer...)

Yes, the same applies to Topaz. I was using mtty and "task 29" this morning to clear my device's internal storage .

it is working on topaz too. you just neet to put in topaz raio instead of that one in dir
thanks all for your help!
just now i was able to use PSAS (http://revskills.de) to enter the terminal mode (so as to skip the driver installation steps for vista64), follow the bootloader commands in the Diamond mtty thread to format the storage (bad block detected as expected), and flashed the Energy Mar-20 rom.
can enjoy flashing again.

Thanks for informing us about PSAS, it really makes life with HTC much easier
Will try it out next time I flash.
IMPORTANT NOTE to those who didn't do a format before:
please carefully read AT LEAST the first 4 posts of the mtty thread to learn what you're going to do.
Procedures of formatting the rom:
1: Install PSAS (http://revskills.de/) to your Windows PC
2: For Windows Vista/7, open up Windows Mobile Device Center, go to Preferences and uncheck "Use usb connections"
3: Bring device into bootloader (Reset + Hold Vol Down), this will show the Red, Blue, Green screen showing "Serial" - Connect device in bootloader mode to USB, the word "Serial" will change to "USB"
4: Follow instructions in the following post to enter the device's bootloader command prompt:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5427496&postcount=23
Code:
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
CMD>
---------------------
[i]type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset:[/i]
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
CMD>set 14 0
HTCST ÚÈHTCEUSB>
---------------------
[i]type "task 29" to get your device formatted:[/i]
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
Cmd>task 29
Format BINFS start
Fill RSVD information for block 288 to 321
CE start sector=0x14, total sector of CE and TFAT=0x14
CE start start block=321, total block=1727
ERASE block 1337 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x5040, total page=0x1AFC0
Format BINFS end
Cmd>
---------------------
[i]type "task 8" to ask your device reboot:[/i]
---------------------
MTTY OUTPUT:
---------------------
Cmd>task 8
Cmd>
---------------------
5: DISCONNECT your device from PC
6: enter bootloader again to flash your favorite rom from SD card, i.e.
6a. Download a ROM of your Choice, RENAME the *.nbh for your ROM to TOPAIMG.nbh
6b. Prepare an SD Card (must be formatted in FAT32) and copy TOPAIMG.nbh to the root directory of the card
6c. enter bootloader by: hold Vol-Down + poke soft reset red button​
Thanks to the original authors
most of the above are copy-and-paste from the following posts:
1. the Diamond mtty thread
2. the instructions given by the author of PSAS
thank u, man.
it's work like a charm!

I use MTTY to do this.The driver for win7&vista both 32&64 are attached.
Anyone who want to format your ROM can follow this:
For Win7 system,please install drivers
Code:
1.Go to the 3color screen ,Plug in your cable and wait until "USB" appears.
2.Go to the "Device manager" of your computer and check the property of "Microsoft USB Sync" or*"HTC*USB Sync"
3.Choose "Update drivers",Check whether the driver is made in "2007"
4.Install the driver manually and the driver file is "wceusbsh.inf".
5.Check the driver's date again after installing it.The date for x86 should be "2004" and x64 is "2003"
*
The rest is just open MTTY*and configure the port to USB:
enter these commands:
Code:
set 14 0
task 29---------->This is to format BINFS
task 8 ----------->This command can restart your phone
Here's a better, easier one!
Here's a better, easier one
[REF] Task 29 (format) without drivers, without mtty.. It worked on my Topaz. Just make sure you change the radio file to the Topaz radio.

Tried your way. Everything was fine with flashing. Let's see whether there are any improvments...

I have not seen any improvement. Just flashed Mondilv v4.3 Beta1. Let's see after a few days.
