Hi all
I have been trying to get my hermes upgraded and got as far as upgrading the SPL etc even one new ROM but now every time I try to upgrade a new ROM the hermes syncs then tries to start the ROM upgrade and then reports a connection error - BUT it has already synched so it must be connecting fine
Please help I do so want some of these nice new toys
John
Go to bootloader. Check your SPL is 2.10 oli. If its not, go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
page 116, post 1160 to install using the sd card method.
If it is you can use the sd card method and cut the PC out of the upgrade process. Its slightly different to flash roms using the sd card method, look below.
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file of the rom you want on to it and rename hermimg.nbh.
2. Insert sd card and go to bootloader.
3 If all is right then follow the prompts otherwise check name of flash file and reformat sd card FAT32. Make sure its 2Gb or less.
Cheers...

Thanks so much

I just hope I haven't created a new flashing junkie like myself Everytime a new ROM comes out, I feel a compulsion to flash and test it, even if I don't think I'll keep it. And I've done it over and over and over again......
Hermes upgrade problems
Firstly my apologies for hijacking this thread and for the length of this posting but I am really stumped with upgrading my Hermes and I am really hoping that someone here will be able to point me in the right direction.
I have a T-Mobile MDA VARIO II (Hermes300) and about a year ago successfully upgraded the rom from WM5 to 6 (not the official one but an earlier version downloaded from someone on this site). I would now really like to try upgrading it to one of the 6.5 versions and I have been trying to do this for the past few days with absolutely no luck. The phone is working perfectly and I can sync with ActivSync 4.5 on an XP machine and also with WMDC on both a Vista PC and Windows 7 PC -luckily, working in IT I have quite a lot of kit about.
If I manually go into the bootloader screen it tells me I am running IPL-1.01 and SPL-1.04. From various postings on this site I have downloaded,
Hard-SPL-V7 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Josh's WM6.5 Test v.8 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461490
And also SSPL from somewhere but the filename is SSPL-HERM so I am assuming that this is the right version.
The procedures I have followed and results I have gotten are these.
Vista and W7 PC, connect the Hermes via USB, WMDC detects and installs the standard driver 'HTC USB Sync' Phone syncs contacts etc. successfully. Run the RUUWrapper utility from the Hard-SPL-v7 directory (running as administrator). All seems ok, it detects the current version and asks if I want to update. Hit Next button, it says it is Verifying the information on your Hermes... Please wait.... It then fails with a 260 error, but WMDC remains connected. The phone appears to do nothing.
Did a bit more research and discovered the trick of downgrading the drivers to the older XP version, did that and checked the properties of the HTC USB Sync driver and found that the date was 2004. Now WMDC will not connect at all, tried running the RUUWrapper utility, the phone repeatedly says 'Connecting to Host' but fails and eventually I get the same 260 error. At no time does the phone go into the bootloader or show any signs of doing anything else.
As an experiment, I tried first getting the phone into the bootloader and then trying with the same result. Reboot the phone and back to square one.
XP SP3 laptop, all .net framework components installed, Connected the phone, ActiveSync 4.5 (fresh download and install) connects fine and I can sync perfectly. Start the RUU utility, it goes through all the screens, gets to the Verifying the information on your Hermes... Please wait screen, then ActiveSync quits itself and the phone disconnects. The phone then tries to reconnect, which it manages once, then Activesync quits again, the phone disconnects and tries and fails to reconnect. If I try to manually restart Activesync it loads, fails to connect and quits again. Eventually RUU reports a 260 error and when I close it it throws up a .net framework error and doesn't properly clean up after itself. I have made sure that .net has been upgraded to 3.5 and nothing else produces errors. If I try to repeat this with the phone it bootloader mode, it fails with a 262 error while the phone itself is showing 0% upgrade image completed. I can soft reset the phone to get it back to working order.
Lastly I tried the direct upgrade from SD card method. Clean format a 128 Meg SD card as FAT32. Copied the RUU_signed.nbh file from the Hard-SPL-V7 directory onto it. Renamed the file to HERMIMG.nbh, inserted the card and restarted the phone into the bootloader. It seems to detect the image and starts to install but immediately displays a 00068002 message and hangs. Soft rebooting the phone brings it back to working order ok. Tried copying the SSPL-HERM file onto the internal phone memory and running it but it won't run saying that the file isn't signed properly or one of its components cannot be found.
So as to can see I'm completely stumped, unless there is something up with the phone itself although as I said I did manage to upgrade from WM5 to 6 some time ago. Am I just doing something really stupid here or is something odd going on? Any suggestions gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
John
Check post 1160, page 116 of this thread to install Hard SPL via sd card - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You need a 2Gb or less sd card formated sd card.
Then to install the ROM check out my post 3 above yours.
Don't need the PC except to format the sd card and copy the .nbh file onto it.
Cheers...
Hi Ultramag
thanks for the quick reply but I have already tried this method and it just doesn't work. Just to be sure though, I re-downloaded all the components and gave it another go.
I have copied the file SSPL-HERM.exe to the internal phone memory, when I try to run it I get the error message The file SSPL-HERM cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. I have installed this file using Activesync on an XP machine, WMDC on Vista and also using Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my Mac with the same result. Does it matter where on the phone it is copied and run from as long as it is int he internal memory.
I have freshly formatted a SanDisk 128 Meg SD card with FAT32 and copied the nbh file from the HARD-SPL-v7 directory onto it and also renamed it to HERMIMG.nbh. If I insert this card and reboot the phone directly into the bootloader screen it shows the tri-colour screen, it briefy changes white and says loading, then shows the number 00068002 in red at the top of the screen then goes back to the tri-colour screen, which says that it is still running SPL-1.04.
I fully agree that doing upgrades this way is far more elegant than using a PC if only I could get it to work.
Is there anything else which needs to be done on the phone first before this method will work.
Many thanks
John
OK here's an update on this situation, what it needed was a hard-reset first. No reason I can think of why this should be so but as soon as I reset it, I was able to upgrade the bootloader via the SD card method the OS rom via an Windows XP PC.
I was hoping not to have to hard reset until I came to upgrade the rom as I wanted to be sure I had a list of all the software to reinstall first but whatever.
So for anyone else having upgrade issues, try a hard reset first.
John
Mate, its safer to use the SD card method to upgrade your os too. No chance of an accidental usb disconnection, reset or power outage.
I would suggest you try the sd card method to install the os next time as well. You don't need to run sspl.exe from the Hermes now as you have Hard SPL installed.
Cheers...

Hi everybody,
I'm stuck trying to upgrade my TyTn to WWE WM6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe).
After following all the steps of the upgrade wizard, the screen of the Tytn goes black and subsequently the ActiveSync connection is lost. After a while i then get the dreaded "ERROR [260]: CONNECTION".
I am running the original ROM (ROM 1.18.255.3) , and active sync 4.5 on Windows XP SP2. I downloaded the WM6 upgrade directly from HTC website after properly registering my device.
I even tried upgrading to SPL version is 2.10.olipro, but i still get the same behaviour.
[EDIT] Another thing i noticed is that when launching the upgrade executable, when it "veryfies informationj on my computer", if the TyTn is already connection via ActiveSync, it automatically resets into bootloader (4 colors window) and i am forced to perform a soft reset before re-trying the upgrade.
Could anybody help me out here?
Thx!
few people have seen this - no solution as yet.
Best workaround is to use the SD Card update method. No USB connection required.
todd_jg, could you please point me out to a procedure for upgrading to WM6 via SD card?
Thank you in advance.
dondobert
There is a description in the WIKI, just go HERE for instructions on how to flash from SD card.
Best wishes
I'm having the same exact problem....
I'll try the SD card method I guess. I'm suspecting it has something to do with how activesync recognizes my phone, because when I just sync normally it doesn't do it as well as previous phones, for example when I plug in the phone it wont auto recognize, I hafta manually start active sync on my computer before it starts.
this is because the usb port in the device is crap...it gets worn and then the cable gets lose....im having the same problem ,it is a nitemare...new usb cable sometime fixes the problem.i have tried 7 new cables the same happens. it gets so bad tha you will be unabled to charge the device,im afraid we got to send the device to htc for repair.
Still nothing...
Just tried for a few hours to perform the upgrade via SD card... but no way!
After reading various threads on the forum i think i tried every tweak and twist in order to have the upgrade via SD card method work (made sure the SD card is formatted as FAT32, not corrupted and with only the HERMING.nbh on it; tried also with SSPL-HERM.exe; etc.) but still no success at all.
Like other users i read of, after entering bootloader, my TyTn just sits there and the only way to proceed is to perform a soft reset.
Any idea?
Has anybody who has the USB upgrade problem been able to succesfully upgrade with the SD card method, or does there seem to be some kind of connection between the two failures?
Thx
@dondobert -
i assumed, you have already tried to uninstall and re-install ActiveSych 4.5 and recreate the synch profile.
OR
try this -
#1. on your phone device goto start-settings-connections-USB to PC
and set the tick mark to Enable advanced network.
#2. synch your device via ActiveSync
#3. do your upgrade OS or Radio
#4. once you are completed the install, undo #1.
Note 1: only do the above steps if you are having continously encountered the lost connectivity to ActiveSynch during the OS or Radio upgrade.
Note 2: your device must has either HardSPL Olipro method or SuperCID
The best way I have found to work around error 260 is
First disable Antivirus software
Next Go into Windows Firewall then exception tab, and search for "Windows Mobile-based Device Connectivity". Check it as an exception.
For the people who use Microsoft Live OneCare,
Go to "Change OneCare Settings" then go to the "Firewall" tab then click the "Firewall Connection Tool" . Make sure the Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center is checked on
Good luck
Let me know if this works

I had this problem, and managed to upgrade with my SD card just fine. In fact, my upgrade died and the device was stuck on bootloader mode.
The SD upgrade method is so reliable I may just do it now for every upgrade.
@dondobert -
on your reply post #8, you have mispelled on the HERMING.nbh file name. it should be HERMIMG.nbh
please verify the file name on your SD card, and rerun the SD procedure.
I had the same 260-error. Fixed:
- Did a "Clear Storage" (factory settings)
- Did all the "settings up your new device"-stuff.
- Did new active sync to computer (vista)
- Flashed just fine from original exe. (And i do have olipro SPL)
I have problem and resolved
Hi I have a same problem but, i just try to upgrade with mobile in boot mode and appears the error, but when connect normally mobile to pc and start upgrade error dissapear, and upgrade full, schap's spanish and radio 1.50 try this method cheers
Had the same problem and got it working
You need to set you TyTn in bootloader (4 color screen) mode and then connect it to the computer. then start loading the WM6 and you should be fine. I had done it using Schaps wm6 and it worked fine...
good luck.
Hi there ...
I had the same Prob with error 260 ...
- After i disabled the "USB-TO-PC" extendet function
- Reboot the PC
- Soft Reset my Vario II
ist works, but i don't know why
I hope it will work on yout decive to ... CU No.Trace !!!
Successful!!!
Thank you all for the great support!
For all of those out there still struggling with the problem, for me it finally worked following hellomotto's suggestion.
Regarding otoro_315 remark: yes, my mispelling int he post, file name on SD card was indeed HERMIMG.nbh.
Thank you all again!
Cheers
Had exactly the same problem. Resorted to SD upgrade - went very smoothly (Official Cingular WM6). However, will keep these suggestions in mind for the future.
I think the SD upgrade probably also eliminates some possible points of failure. According to wiki instructions, SD must be erased except for the img file - takes a bit to transfer 2G to/from SD. Don't know if this is a must - but didn't want to take a chance. Might just buy a cheapie SD just for upgrades.
One more for the SD card method. Extremely quick too ...I was really amazed that a 45MB ROM would flash in less than 5 minutes.
And it worked fine for me WITHOUT even formatting the SD Card first, I just pasted the extracted .nbh file to the root folder and loaded the SSPL file.
You mean the SD card was not erased and there were other files on it? (You don't say that explicitly).
I too was amazed at the speed - the wiki said it takes about 30 minutes - when it indicated complete in less than 10 min, I let it alone for about 15 min. because I thought it was going to do something else!

hey guys,
i've problems to update my pocket pc to mobile 6. I tried both methods no one works for me.
First i tried to connect my pocket to my pc and started windows mobile center. Downloaded all the files, but always when i start the update, my pocket goes to the boot screen with the red, freen and blue stripes and the connection disconnects. And i get the message 260 update problems and my pocket stays at the boot screen. Than i tried the same with Windows XP and ActiveSync, the same problem again.
After that, i tried to update with a micro SD card 2GB. I downloaded the "Hard-SPL-V7"-File and saved it to the micro SD. Rebooted the Pocket, but nothing happend, the pocket stayed in the boot screen. Than i renamed RUU_signed.nbh in HERMIMG.nbh and tried it again, nothing happens.
Can somebody help me please? I want to use mobile 6, because i want to use a 8GB Micro SD.
EDIT: THANKS A LOT, but now i have a new Problem i described it in post #6 in this thread. Thank u 4 helping me.
EDIT II: Thank u all, i fixed it by myself. Finally the upgrade worked with XP and ActiveSync. The best thanks to ultramag69 again, he solved my problem.
If you are using vista you need to install this, removing all older versions
Do you have the newest .net framework on your computer from here?
You wont be able to flash via SD without HardSPL, so you need todo it via activesync.
Try another USB port.
Try flashing the shipped from for your device, you can get your newest WM6 rom from here.
If that fails, tell us:
Whats your device (theres loads of different models of the Hermes)
Have you flashed anything before?
What rom is on your device atm?
What SPL do you have atm? (Hard or not)
Also check your serial number against this list for known problems.
There are certain steps needed to be taken. First is making sure your computer has the .net compact framework. Get it here.
Only then can you run hard spl from your computer.
Also, when you put on a .nbh file onto the microsd and rename it, you need to go into bootloader not reboot. You need to hold the power button and ok button while pressing the reset button with stylus...
I have got the same problem....
Using XP not able to flash neither via Active sync nor by SD card...
Stck at MRH 8.4...
Go to post 1160 on page 116 of this thread to flash Hard SPL using the sd card method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You can't flash using the sd card method without Hard SPL. To flash Hard SPl on you need to do an extra step - flash with soft SPL.
To flash the os just leave out steps 5 & 6 from the above post after you have Hard SPL installed...
Cheers...
Thank you guys for helping me,
A big thank to ultramag69, your post solved my problems. It worked great.
But now i have a new problem. I upgrated the SPL to HardSPL v7 (opipro 2.10). With the help from ultramag69 it worked perfect. Sooner i did the radio update with Micro SD - worked perfect too.
So finally i tried to update the ROM, downloaded the german ROM version from this Thread copied all files to the micro SD, renamed the SPL.nbh file in HERMIMG.nbh and did a reboot (ok, start and reset buttons) like i did it before. But it shows me at the screen only HERMIMG.nbh and BOOTLADER. When i start the update it runs 2 seconds and i get the message HERMIMG.nbh - OK BOOTLOADER - OK UPDATE COMPLETE. But it doesnt start the WM6 Update. Why not? Can someone help me again please?
I think the only file that's supposed to be on the microsd is the hermimg file...
not sure if having other files there will effect it like that...

the only file that you have to copy to your SD card is RUU_Wrapper.nbh (size: about 90 MB) after naming it to HERMIMG.nbh
note that this will up-/downgrade your Radio to V1.47.00.10 so you can also check other available German Versions with other Radio versions on the Hermes Wiki

Ok so what is the status of your device now, have you flashed back to official shipped rom?
Please try these instructions. also here please view.
If the sd card is more than 2gb it won't be recognised by bootloader. The os (wm06+) is able to detect and read sdhc but the bootloader doesn't.
Did you format the sd card fat32. I know a few people who swear black and blue they did but when I reformatted it, it was registering as being fat.
Did you copy ONLY THE .NBH file to the sd card and rename it to hermimg.nbh? Won't be recognised if you didn't.
These are steps I tend to go through myself as 1 little thing overlooked can mean either nothing happens or disaster....

WHile trying to install NFSFAN's latest Telus rom my phone disconnects and reconnects causing an error right after teh 0% progress bar shows up on the phone's screen.
I don't think it's a new problem because the Windows Vista machine makes the connect/disconnect noise repeatedly when I plug the USB cord in (though I've never had a problem syncing contacts etc.).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for me so I can play with Manilla 2D etc.
I advise you read more on how to unlock your phone, and perform a proper flash.
If for some reason your PC is not loading the drivers correctly, then you should use the mini SD card method of flashing.
1) Save the rom as voguimg.nbh on a fat32 drive less than 2gb.
2) power+camera+reset on bottom will put the phone into flash mode and begin reading the file from the flash drive.

I think he should probably do a bit more reading on the topic like NFSFAN says first...
the direct sd card method is what I use (since i'm on Linux) but you have it incorrect as case matters.
The firmware should be named:
Code:
VOGUIMG.NBH
it should reside in the root directory of your sd card and it sometimes helps if theres nothing else on the card. ppcgeeks has a great faq on the whole ordeal. Read first thoroughly imo.
Did you even unlock it? (using Coke)
Try putting it into bootloader, let it load the drivers, and then run the upgrade...
USB ERROR
I had trouble with the driver install as well. I used Vista Business with no luck. Next I tried XP, still no luck. Lastly, I tried on my laptop that has Windows 7 Beta. W7 Beta installed the driver and it read as a palm os base device, NFSFAN's Beta 3 Rom Rom has the phone codes in the Program folder under system Tools. You can enable it that way. I was able to accomplish the agps methood.
Hi,
Here's my situation
I have an imate Jasjam. It was originally running WM5 (factory shipped). I upgraded to WM6.1 using Pandora Naked ROM from one of the posts. Everything works fine.
However, since it was a very lite version; and also because I wanted to upgrade to WM6.5, I tried to upgrade to WM6.5 using one of the ROMs from the XDA threads. However, that's where my problems started.
Anything I do now ends up either being Error 246 or Error 260. I even tried re-running the original hard-spl + pandora naked rom steps to see if that works. Even that doesnt' work anymore.
I searched on the Wiki and found a guide to downgrade and resolve my issue. However, the guide link is broken. I tried searching more and found some steps to install .net framework which I did. Tried using different USB ports. I had been doing all this on an XP machine. One of the steps was to try using another machine. I tried on another machine which runs Vista, no luck.
If someone can help troubleshoot or give a working link to that guide, I'll deeply appreciate it. Like I said, the phone works fine, but it's a very lite ROM. When i try to install anything, it gives me the digitally unsigned error and just exits. Doesn't let me go ahead with teh intsallation. So, I'm here without a calculator, without MS Office, without a video call dialer, nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Please help stuck with the same problem

Well my friend i used to have the same problem, solved by putting Hard spl on the mobile run it and then flash the original AT wm6 from the threats, then reflash it with any rom wm6.5 from your choice..
P.S. Flashing the rom through your SD card and don't forget to rename the NBH. file before flashing.
You must have Hard SPL V7 to flash using the sd card method. Then....
1. Format sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of rom onto sd card and rename to Hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader (tri-colour screen)
3. Follow onscreen instructions.
Cheers...
Thanks dayhauck and ultramag. I will try your solutions and let you know how thigns go. appreciate your help.

Hi,
I tried doing the update via the SD card. No go.
However, I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. While running the ROM upgrade, when the program asks you to choose between the various SPL versions, initially, I was choosing Force SPL without checking the Is it Hard SPL checkmark. This time, I put a checkmark there and voila.... everything worked like a charm.
Now, I have WM6.5 and it works beautifully.
However, there are always issues, ain't there?
The only thing that don't work now are....
1. When I'm on Activesync, Internet doesn't work. However, when I connect via Wi-Fi, it works. I tried playing around with the activesync settings, no go.
2. In pocket Outlook, I am able to configure Yahoo and Gmail. However, hotmail doesn't work.
I would appreciate any help.
And once again, thanks for all your help dayhauck and ultramag.

I have been successfully using the Android builds on my TP2 without any issues. However, when I tried Rhobuntu (which is very exciting by the way!), I have had problems since I shut it down to reboot.
When trying to launch any programs that are installed on the SD card, either through a proper cab install or by trying to run Haret off the SD card, I get the following message:
[highlight]
The file 'filename' cannot be opened. Etiher it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
[/highlight]
I am still able to access all the files from Windows Mobile 6.5. I can open data files such as mp3 or jpg.
If I try to install a cab file (from the SD card or the main memory after copying it there), it tells me the file is from an unknown publisher etc, and I can choose to continue. However, it then tells me that the installation was unsuccessful.
Prior to using Rhobuntu, I could install and use applications on the SD card with out any problems.
I have searched the forums and the internet, but I can't find any answers that are applicable - plenty of questions like mine though!
One example is on the first page of the Rhobuntu sticky thread, but it appeared to go unanswered:

Help please!

Ed,
It was I who posted the question in the other thread. Unfortunately, I never got a solution to the problem so I ended up performing a hard reset.
I had the same issue again when I ran Rhobuntu so I've pretty much given up on it.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Works after hard-reset
Thanks dicko, walter.
I finally gave up and did a hard reset, and before setting everything up again I tried Rhobuntu again, like dicko had.
This time, I can use Rhobuntu, and go back to Windows, and everything still works. Phew!
Differences between last time and this - I don't know if any of them are relevant:
1/ This time the Windows only has stock Vodafone ROM Win 6.5 plus TomTom as it automatically installed when I put the SD card in. Last time lots of other programs were installed also.
2/ This time I used the latest Rhobuntu release - 19032010 on the fileshare, 18032010 according to the first post that the filed share was linked from. It was xfce. Last time I was using 12032010.
3/ This time I chose Reboot when I was finished with Rhobuntu. Last time I chose Shutdown.
Now to rebuild my Windows system!
