Guest Jan the man Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 A couple of questions: What handset are you upgrading (M3100, VarioII, TyTn, 8525, Trion, etc.)? What ROM version are you starting with? If your SPL is version 2.10 then you already have Hard-SPL. If you do need to install Hard-SPL, make sure the checkbox that says "Is it Hard-SPL?" is NOT checked, as your phone isn't Hard-SPL yet. I followed these instructions myself with my M3100 and had to flash it twice, but had no other problems. Since all the Hermes variants have different ROMs, someone here may be able to tell you of workarounds for problems on your particular model. Martin Its a Vario 2 (herm 300), no idea what rom it is but the SPL is 1.04. I've followed the instructions correctly a hundred times now and the same thing happens :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Doctor Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Sorry mate I'm a complete novice at this.... you may well have written that in Chinese as far as I'm concerned lol You aren't by any chance running Vista and getting Error 260 are you? If you are, either check out Paul's RUU Vista fix HERE and then re-run the update utility or use an XP machine :rolleyes: Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 You aren't by any chance running Vista and getting Error 260 are you? I think he/she just hasn't flashed Hard-SPL onto the phone. BTW I flashed my phone from Vista, I'd really like to know why everyone says it doesn't work. Worked fine for me, although VisualStudio installed a different driver for the USB Cable I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Doctor Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I dont have Vista but that is the error I'm getting.... Try putting you phone in bootloader mode (hold power + ok buttons and soft reset with the stylus), plug into the usb port. Go to the device manager and uninstall the drivers for HTC USB Sync. Unplug the device (still in bootloader). Reset into bootloader again (hold power + ok buttons and soft reset with the stylus) then plug into the USB port. This time it should reinstall the drivers and hopefully fix the communication errors your getting :rolleyes: Reset and sync with activesync (icon must be green) then try following the guide again. If it still fails, add me on MSN if you have it (mine is quantuminstabilityhotmailcom and we can chat a bit more in-depth about it :P Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jan the man Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Another day = another problem I'm trying to do the radio thing. Phone is connected to the PC.... open the exe, click autodetect, message comes up saying make sure its a windoes mobile phone etc, click yes then a few seconds pass and 2 windoes pop up saying 'ERROR couldnt query the device' and then 'ERROR unknown version, you should pick SSPL' and the whole thing closes. I'm close to giving up on modding the phone as every time i try something I always get error messages. Edited June 9, 2007 by Jan the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimbouk Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 If in doubt read MrVanx's guides over at XDA. With his guides and activesync 4.5 (on XP) or WMDC 6.1 (On Vista) - flashing is dead simple. I've now flashed about 14 different WM4 roms and five or six radio roms (and even downgraded one hermes from WM6 to the orange WM5 AKU3.3 update) I currently have BlackDymond with Radio 1.38 (the official orange one) and am enjoying a blisteringly fast device with HSDPA running at between 700Kb and 1mb. I will be flashing Black 4 (The Shadow) tomorrow though. (You have got activesync 4.5 haven't you?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonkeyJug Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 version 4, codenamed shadow, is due for imminent release... seems it has the full release version of wm6 and is lifted straight from the htc touch - no bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilky Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've tried everything mate :rolleyes: :D :P I've got exactly the same issue - It doesnt 'AUTODETECT' the bootloader and seems to complain Active Sync isnt connected when it is and working properly......

Guest Jan the man Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Out of interest mate... Is your phone relatively new and is it on T-Mobile?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I have been busily flashing the Shadow rom onto my device today (twice) and both times just let the RUU wrapper detect the SPL/Hard SPL. (SpvM3100 sim locked still to Orangeand simply followed MrVanX's guides to WM6 flashing over the last few weeks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(SpvM3100 sim locked still to Orangeand simply followed MrVanX's guides to WM6 flashing over the last few weeks.) The prob is tho mate is that it doesnt detect mine and suggests forcing SSPL which I dont want to risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UndeadDevil Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 T-Mobile right? New MDA Vario II? If so I had the same problem, I forced using SPL to install Black and then used the Auto-Detect for the radio once Black was flashed. It flashed fine and semed to use HardSPL.

Guest Jan the man Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hmmmmmmm..... maybe I should try it that way :rolleyes: If it bricks or semi bricks how do I use Hard SPL to revive it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would let it use SSPl. - Thats what I did a couple of months ago for my first WM6 flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
