Hello everyone.
I have just bought my Hermes (AT&T 8525) after one year of planing so. It came with WM5. I downloaded some of the ROMSs, radio and bootloaders commented here. I tried reading all the vast infromation in this forum and the wiki, but still having a problem.
THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOW:
When I start the flashing process, using HTC_TyTN_WWE_3[1].54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe or RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.1.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108
... everything goes well, until the progress bar appears in my PC. When it appears, ActiveSync in my PC closes and my Hermes goes to stand by (the lcd goes off) so I cannot complete the installation process.
The phone works pretty well and I'm really amazed for all its capabilities. But still, I'm stucked with wm5.
Why do you think this happened?
PS: I flashed the radio (1.51.00.10) and bootloader (HARD SPL v7). My ROM version is 2.15.502.3. I use "ActiveStink" to sync my files without problems.
Any advice will be more than welcome!!
I'm no expert but that appears to be normal behaviour!
ActiveSync is only used at the start of the process. After a few files have been transfered, Activesync is closed and a different link is established. If you just leave it for a short while longer, a progress bar should appear on the Hermes too.
Yes, ActiveSync will disconnect. The RUU takes over the connection. Have you let it sit - sometimes it takes a minute for the progress bar to move.
Have you consulted www.mrvanx.org for help on the flashing?

I'm having the same problem - always have. The message tells me that I'm disconnected and that I should check my USB connect etc. I left that box up there for about 15 minutes. Now I've closed the box and have waited several minutes with no activity. This is pretty aggravating. Thanks for any help.
try turning off your antivirus aplication. thats work for me flashing my tytn to wm6.
I've done everything.... I guess
Hi...
Yes, I consulted the www.mrvanx.org, excellent tutorials.
I flashed without problem the radio and bootloader. The progress bar started to "progress" and everything was fine. The only problem I have is flashing the WM6.
I don't remember where, but I readed that flashing the bootloader "Hard SLP v7" causes my HTC not to accept any Oficial WM6 ROM. The article said that I only had the chance to flash a coocked or modified ROMs. Is this true?
If not... what else can it be? I also closed all my applicacations including the antivirus, goback, disabled the internet connection, the logictec mouse center, etc. and nothing, the same as Chicoh happens to me.
"Error 260: Connection... check the USB cable bla bla bla."
Should I restart in safe mode to do the flashing?
Should I try to install a modified ROM?
Have in mind I've tried three different official ROMs: WWE, Cingular and spanish.
Thanks to all the comunity!!!
Saludos desde México!!
Greetings -
I had a similar problem and couldn't get the thing get going. My solution was to load it from the SD card. This worked flawlessly.

I'm trying that as we speak. I have a good feeling about this. I'm a little concerned that I didn't think of it though. Makes perfect sense - Skip the middle man.
UPDATE: Crap. No luck. Thanks all the same though. I'm not giving up.
What OS are you using, xp or vista? My vista 'top had the same problem wouldnt flash for the longest time and i had to use my xp.
However, it does work now. Not entirely sure why.
Now I had success!!!
Hello my friends.
It seems that the article I readed days ago detailing that after flashing the Hard SPL v7, I could only install a modified ROM, not an official one from HTC or Cingular.
I downloaded Black Satin and installed it without any troubles. The entire process lasted only 3 minutes!!!
I wanted to have an official ROM, don't ask me why, and never tried the "other" ROMs that are actually excellent!!! some apps that were on WM5 are not in WM6, which is kind of sad, but if there's something that I love of WM Smartphones is that I can download and install whatever I want or develop it if it doesn't exist!!!
By the way, I use Windows XP Pro.
Thanks for all the support!!!
PS: Before flashing the Hard SPL v7, I tried installing the cingular WM6, but didn't make it. That's why I readed almost all the pages and threads here in xda-developers and found that flashing a new bootloader was a very good idea. The rest of the story is known by you.

Hi guys, I've read and used the forum for years and upgraded my Cingular 8525 a ton without troubles (followed Vanx's method for vista and for upgrading), but this is the first time I'm really stuck without a clue.
I had Schaps latest OS on my phone working fine for about three days. It was charging with the USB hook up to my Computer. I pulled the USB out and the phone entered bootloader. I couldn't get it out. I tried using mtty to no avail, hard reset ect., but finally used the SD loading method to put TNT's latest on it (don't know why this worked). Here's the thing though, the phone will load fine on first load after I flash, but if I soft reset or turn the phone off and on it goes right into bootloader mode. The only way I can get it to load up again is to connect it to the computer's USB, take out the battery and then put it back in. the OS then boots up without fail.
I have read a ton and searched on the forum, and if any of you can help me understand what the hell I can do to fix my phone I would really appreciate it. I will post anymore info you guys would like, I really need your help on this one.
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I posted exactly the same problem today ! here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381284
It's really strange !
Dave
I've been reading everything and it appears that Schaps's new version seems to have this problem sometimes....I have the exact same problem as everyone else (mtty gives me the same results), and flashing a new rom doesn't get rid of it....I hope there is some way to fix this!
maybe I'll try flashing a new radio and see if that helps things....
I did notice that flashing Schaps 4.31 seems to include radio 1.50 and I had changed my anyway to 1.43 as I thought that was better for my area.
Not sure a radio will help. Maybe a different ROM version will ? Maybe 3.54 ?
I have flashed TNT's rom as well and it still has the problem now....I'm flashing a new radio as I type, I'm going to have to reflash the OS too, it just got stuck again as it was restarting.
Just a quick thing, I think I have solved my problem (not sure if it is permanent) by powering the phone off and on. Not resetting, just a simple power off. I spoke to a colleague who said the way it shuts down is different to soft reset (makes sense) and I haven't powered my phone off properly for a long time.
I have tried soft reset a couple of times since doing this and it hasn't gone to the bootloader screen once.
Maybe this is the simple fix.
I will keep you posted.
try to flash OFFICIAL ROM first , maybe there are few bug / missing file when error appear while flashing other ROM.
I hope it will help you both.
rgds,
ermen
Use mtty to see if yo have any bad blocks... I've had a few problems the same as yours and found I had 1 or 2 extra bad blocks, after the 2 "factory standard" bad blocks I got on my jasjam of course. hope this helps...
My fix didn't work.
Not sure what I am suppossed to see when I run "task 2a".
Has anyone had any luck fixing this ?
PLEASE ASSIST: I'VE RECENTLY UPGRADED MY CINGULAR/ATT 8525 HERMES UNIT TO WINMOB6 AND NOW CAN'T GET PAST THE INITIAL WINDOWS MOBILE SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS "TAP THE SCREEN TO SET UP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE BASED DEVICE." (THE TOUCHSCREEN SEEMS TO BE DISABLED) ALSO, NOW ACTIVESYNC WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE DEVICE. I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT ELSE TO DO (TRIED HARD RESET SEVERAL TIMES WITH SAME RESULT). IF SOMEONE COULD POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION - I'D SURE APPRECIATE IT.

hmm no need to scream.
Push the OK on left and power on right, and stick stylus in all at the same time. Re run the exe file while it is plugged in to active sync, and see. Which WM6 did you use?
Sorry I'm new at this. I used WM6.1. Which exe file do you want me to re-run. ActiveSync is offline....I can't get it to connect to the unit. Thanks for your assistance.

Ok, since you're on ATT I suggest you follow my instruction above, get into tricolour screen (bootloader), and download this
from the post above you will get the shipped ATT rom. Don't worry if activesync is saying is not connected, just run the file. You will then get back to a WM6.
The phone originally came with WM5 and I was upgrading to mess around with the thing. I'm at the tricoloured screen and now downloading the files from RapidShare. Will this get me back to WM5 or to the upgrade. If there is a way, I like to try the HardSPL flash I've been reading about today - will this work on either WM version? Txs & Rgds.

After you have flashed this WM6.0 you really need to flash hard SPL first, I thought you would have done that already.
Really please read this first before you brick your phone.
No that's the thing. I'm just finding out how I went about this all wrong and maybe shouldn't have been messing this in the first place. Anyhow, my bootloader screen reads like this:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro

Well follow mrvanx guide, that's all I had to get on with few months ago.
Many thanks for the advice. So just to be clear I should first run the file I downloaded from RapidShare to get me back to a working WM version, then follow mrvanx guide to flash Hard SPL or viceversa...

Nope, didn't work. Here's the report:
ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR
The update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your PDA phone.
Check the following:
1. The PDA Phone is connected to the USB cradle/cable.
2. The USB cradle/cable is connected to the PC.
Is there another way to establish comunication with the PDA other than through ActiveSync? Somekind of emulator box or binary software???

hmm weird, so have you got .net framework installed on your PC? try it again one more time while in bootloader, plug the phone to USB as long as you can hear the 'ding' sound you should be OK. I have 'bricked' my phone a few times and this always work. What are you trying to flash? the hardspl or the ROM?
Yes, today I upgraded to .net framework 3.5 when ActiveSync failed Microsoft Error took me to their website and offered me the option. I had been running 2.x .net framework and never had a problem would also use same ActiveSync with my old Axim X30.
Yes, I can hear the 'ding' sound and I was trying to run the file RUUWrapper.exe (Hermes ROM Upgrade w/ the option Force using SSPL).
well that shows the other way around doesn't work, so you need to get your phone to a working WM6 state, how is your download going from rapidshare? get it to boot loader mode again and flash that exe file.
Just completed that route - I ran the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7 - the process took about 10 minutes to go through 100%, then it restarted and stayed at the Window Mobile screen for little over minute (crossing my fingers), but then just showed the same message "Tap the screen to set up your Window Mobile based device." Please let me know if you have other avenues to try – It’s close to 4am here in Miami, but I'm not sleeping. I’m really glad you are able to assist with this mess – thanks a lot!

Okay good day, I'm back on the trail. Found shipped ROM on WIKI for HERMES in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277664
Downloading now...According to pof(moderator) it's a "new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular"
My only question then would be that this appears to be made for WM5 and I performed the WM6 upgrade which is what got me into this mess in the first place - so will there be any conflicts or issues I should now about? I'm about to go ahead with it - if anyone is out there and thinks otherwise, please advise soonest. Thx & rgds, Ed

Sounds good man!! Flash it!! oem WM6 roms usually fix allot of issues.. Don't be scared everyone else is busy flashing WM6.1 roms all the time now!
Thanks for the words of support <joshkoss>! Just attempted several times to flash the Shipped ROM I found from <pof> (PDA Phone ROM Update Utility - R:31300 D:51000 U:31101 P:0) and keep getting ‘ERROR[260]: UPDATE ERROR’ message. While instead I went back again to flashing the ROM that <zocster> suggested last night (PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7) and it does go through the entire 10 minute process until it shows 100% completion both on the PDA and on the PC and then tells me congratulations….etc. I even flashed it twice back-to-back as I read to do in one of the threads – but just keep getting back to the dreaded Window Mobile screen with the same message "Tap the screen to set up your Window Mobile based device."
My next question is this: Why does the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.12.3.7 connect to the PDA, but the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility - R:31300 D:51000 U:31101 P:0 (which I read is the Shipped ROM that I need to get the PDA back to) gives me an error message. Obviously, there is a connection since I’m able to get a 100% completion on the other ROM??? Please kindly advise…..
Hi,
I've searched over this forum and cant find an answer to what I need so I figured I would post.
I have a HTC S620 (sim free) and it has WM5 on. I would like to upgrade to WM6. (not 6.1 yet.) I have looked over this forum and found lots of stuff on how to do it and I have tried 2 different ROMs and also watched the you tube video.
When I use the official wm6 ROM, (even before I have tried to install the ROM) my phone gets to the white screen stage and then disconnects which means the ROM installer doesnt work because the phone isn't connected.
I have also tried to isntall the kavana 6.1 version and the ROM installer comes up with an error code which says the model isnt compatiable.
The wm6 official upgrade looks more promising if any one has any solutions? although any solutions would be very welcome.
thanks
James.

James,
How long have you had BT Anywhere as they have all been WM6 since over a year ago? Should bare any difference anyway, the phone will stop active sync when it goes white anyway.
You should be able to upgrade to WM6.1 without any hitches with following the "Upgrade to WM6.1" you should do this before hand http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2807194&postcount=485 if getting error message "mind you may help if know what the message is?"
Hi cheers for the reply. It's not a BT one, its actually a second hand one off ebay so I assume its pretty old. Its just branded as HTC...

Still go with previous post to flash WM6.1 if you want to upgrade to WM6 you need to know what the original carrier of the phone is does it have a carrier plas on load?
Mind you i'd flash to WM6.1 if i was you as it's an advancemet far greater than WM5 to WM6
Hi again,
I've just tried the kavana 6.1 ROM following all the instructions you've said. It got as far as the white screen (through the DOS programme) and then it lost its USB connection which means the ROM installer wouldnt work as it couldnt find a connection. I'm running windows vista.

When the whitescreen launches WMDC will stop sync and the computer takes over via it's own driver, did you leave it there with the white screen or just disconnect Dash when WMDC disconected?
ive yet to change a rom on vista because of the lack of ativesync which is really dumb

Hi,
experiencing a problem with my Xda O2 branded German Touch Diamond:
after switching on the WiFi the device rebooted itself and continued to reboot permanently until I remove the battery. Battery is full actually.
I flashed the original ROM successfully (previous one was a BliZZard custom ROM v5), but the device is still continues to reboot.
For warranty reasons I need to flash the original stock SPL back, but no success with this. I flashed it couple ot times and the flashing CustomRUU.exe showed success each time. But after prooving the SLP it still shows 1.93.Olinex.
I tried also any other HardSPLs like Olinex 1.37... again the same problem. 1.93.Olinex is showed on boot.
Any idea how to solve the flashing problem or maybe also any hint about the reboot problem?
I have important stuff on the 4 GB internal flash. How can I read the contets considering the above problem?
Any help highly apprechiated!
Cheers

Any chance to MTTY? Might help, just guessing...
Or try to flash a new radio ROM as the wifi hardware might be stuck in a state that is unknown to the drivers. Flashing a radio is supposed to reset hardware but I may be wrong.
Really guessing here but symptoms shows relation to radio hardware.

sspl
You need to run sspl first before flashing to the stock SPL. I did had this same problem changing my HSPL before.
You can find the sspl on the olipro CID/Security/Sim Unlocker, I think.
Hello, my solution to this was conductive interconnect of metalic parts as you can see here
://i.ytimg.com/vi/UUnH8O-1jII/0.jpg
(of course with http on the beginning, i'm not allowed to post links)
on the left with aluminium tape (sorry for image quality, found it on web).
It also seems that the sim card reader has to be conductively connected with the above em shielding.
Hope it will help
it´s a battery problem ... get a different one and your phone should be fine

Please correct me if I am wrong. But as far as I understood, it is only possible to SSPL the phone after running the system on it (e.g. inside windows mobile) and not from outside (e.g. USB connection or so). The problem is, that I cannot access win mobile at all! It is continuosly rebooting in an infinite loop. Not even able to see the windows mobile logo at start.
@cina
how do I MTTY the phone? any idea, link, tool? again: if I have to be "in the system" in order to check, whats wrong, then it will fail.
@edefux
Do you already had such a case? I am not sure, if buying a new battery is economical enough only in order to try, if it works. I admit, it could be the battery. But running the phone with the charger switched on, should show if its the battery or not. I tried with charger on, but obviously this didn't solve the problem. Or do you mean, that in the battery there is some sort of "short circuit", that's confusing the Diamond no matter if the charger is on or not?
@DiamondFlower
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try, when I tried everything else
This will be the final try before burrying the precious Diamond.

See this post for MTTY. This is the second post on Diamond ROM thread pinned for easy access anyway. Please search before you post!
If you can enter bootloader mode with VolDown pressed while reboot you're off to go. You can plug in USB cable and you can flash SPL, Radio or any new ROM. I assumed this based on your first post:

it is a battery problem i´m 99,9% sure of it - i had the same case ... it was driving me crazy ... different roms, radios, but the problem persisted - luckily at that time i was working at a cell phone provider and could try different hardware, which finally brought me to the solution to switch the battery.

Maybe I'm a bit unlucky, but I've got the 0,1%. Took a new battery, this didn't solve the problem though.
i´m sorry it didn´t work for you ... !
it's ok! it didn't work - actually I could have thought about it wont work: beforehand I sent the item to the mobile operator guarantee team and they returned it back - no warranty of course (due to olinex bootloader which I wasn't able to remove) and stating: Fremdeinwirkung/ Totalschaden (total loss). And because I sent it without battery and they obviously checked it ... suppose with a fresh or "good" battery. And it still didn't work for them, so...
I'll try to open it and see if there is some short circuit around the metal shielding. Maybe I'm lucky then.
Anyway thanks guys about the hints and suggestions!

I'm not sure if its called sspl but you can run it from boot loader and it will black out your phone. after that you need flash the new bootloader.
I'm thinking its not a bootloader problem though...

I have tried countless times to upgrade my ROM, Custom RUU, task29, etc.... Everything ends exactly the same; Screen on the phone shows the multi color background with "USB" at the bottom of the page, then both my laptop and the phone show a status bar that never moves off of 0%. I let it sit for a while, then I get some form or another of a communication error. It wants me to perform a "Recovery" but that never works either. I always have the same results.
When I try to use the HardSPL file, I get an error that states "Windows cannot access the specefic device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them." It does not matter how I try it or "Run as Administrator" it still does not work.
When I connect my phone to the laptop, Activesync kicks in and establishes a connection, when the screen goes multi color with "USB" at the bottom, I hear the laptop ding as it does when a USB device is disconnected. I don't hear any dings as if it were reconnecting. I have tried this on 2 different Win7 machines and get the same results.
I would love to flash the ROM on this thing as it is over bloated with apps that I don't want/need/care to have! I know this phone has the potential to be very a very cool phone, so I am begging for help on this one.
I have succefully flashed the ROM on my old HTC Fuze phone with no issue at all. I have to wonder when I see the threads for doing this is over 2 years old if that has anything to do with it.
If anyone could please assist me in getting this sorted so I can open my phone up to new and different possibilities, that would be great!
Thanks
Joe

1. So your only problem is that you can't hardspl. Then why do you say that nothing from this site works?
2. Ask hardspl questions in the hardspl thread.
3. Try entering bootloader and then plugin your usb and perform a hardspl.
For further help, you should really ask in the hardspl thread

Yeah, the OP is really only having problems with HardSPL, and nothing else (not being able to run Task29 or a flash a custom ROM is due to not being HardSPLed). Why flame the entire website, and the thousands of ROMs, CABs, and other stuff that people dedicate their time and hard work to accomplish?
If you are using Windows 7, you should not be using Active Sync, you should be using Windows Mobile Device Center.

This may be the problem. But HardSPL on Windows 7 is a known issue if you read the HardSPL thread. It works for some W7 user, and not for others. If this continues to be the case, your best bet is to find a XP machine and HardSPL from there. Other things, like flashing a custom ROM should work fine on your W7 machine (using WMDC).
