HELP NEEDED Please - 8525 brick! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

hello, i have read and read all the wiki's, but ive not been able to fix my phone.
i use a cingular 8525 (herm100) phone, and cannot install any rom on the phone. I have two versions of the At&t ROM with radio's and tried them both, but they all stop at 11-12 %.
i have tried usind the sd-card method, and it does not pass the "GSM - " portion.
i guess the radio is not working or is corrupt or something..
my phone is now in bootloader and just says
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
please any help will be appreciated. thank you!!!!

wow.. can anyone even say "sorry"
geez.. 35 views, and not even one reply, or consolation message, or anything??

I would update your copy of Windows Mobile Device Center first (especially if you're using Vista). Flash SPL and the radio, then flash any rom to see what happens. I mean really at this point, it's already a brick... try some crazy stuff, you can't hurt it anymore than it already is. I did the same thing to mine a couple of months ago, and after trying these things, I got it working again without a problem.

update to hard spl ver.7.
try to flash
a). stock rom (sometimes this works)
b). radio only rom.
Also make sure you unlock your phone with this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Hope this helps...

Just to make sure I understand, the unlocker you linked is to SIM and CID unlock, correct ?? And then on top of that - you should update to HardSpl also ??
I have an 8525 on its way that I will be looking to upgrade - just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.

sorry for the late reply
i have been dealing with this for 3 days and finally managed to run official AT&T rom for 4 days wout hard reset.
there is a method dumping an official himalaya rom to hermes. az pof explained in one of his posts all commands except radio commands are different in himalaya so it is safe to use dumping method.
it basically deletes everything in radio rom so you can install official rom.
PS: at first install official rom stucked %12 i said damn but in second try %15 third try success
i am at work now i dont have the link of method but try googling or searching my posts (not too much )
i hope it solves your problem
bartan

thanks guys, i've tried some things
i have tried using Hard SPL v.7 it does not work.
i have tried using official cingular roms too. stops at 11% no success.
i have tried upgraing radio only, stops a 0% and restarts the device.
i have also used mtty, with some text inputs, no success
i have even tried selling the brick on e-bay .... as you can guess no success.!

bill_in_mtl, sorry bout lateness of my reply ( net problems), yes you do unlock sim and cid. Sim unlock means you can use ANY simcard from any carrier and Cid unlock means you can flash ANY hermes rom (both official or cooked). It needs to be unlocked first as the spl is downgraded to 1.40 (I think) and you should REALLY be running with 2.10 olipro (hard SPL ver 7). I wouldnt bother upgrading to Hard SPL ver 9 a this is essentially only ver 7 with some neat features for developers but it does throw up an error message when you finish flashing a rom(no problems t just feels like it).
Hard SPL WON'T stop you from bricking your phone BUT it will make it easier to recover.
roomtek*8525, sorry to hear that but have you tried flashing with a cooked rom? This unfortunately wont fix the phone part but you will have a working PDA...If you've tried MTTY with info 8 and task 2a commands then thats the best to hope for, Sorry bout that..

I think I turned my phone into a brick casue im a newb

Yup, I tried to do that whole windows mobile 6 deal, and at 99% it sat for awhile and then my computer said there was an error or something, and my phone won't get past the bootloader screen with the three colors, I've read stuff saying to flash a rom to it, but im not sure how to do that, I downloaded the button rom, and when i try to run it it says it cant run because it cant find RAPI.dll.
So yeah, if anyone could help that would be sweet.

Different Problem - Bricked P3300, while upgrading from Chinese to English

Hey all,
I am sorry posting the repeated question again, but this has a bit of a twist, and to this, i searched and didnt find any answer around.
My friends just bought a HTC P3300 from China. It came with a chinese DOPOD rom.
I had the original Shipped htc rom with me there so i upgraded my 1st friends mobile, with the shipped rom successfully, and then upgraded it to wm6 successfully.
now when i flashed my 2nd friend's device with the HTC Shipped rom, the upgrade process went to 3% and then the device just restarted and got stuck on the Initial dopod boot screen.
It is not moving from there.
So i downladed a couple of other roms, including the DOPOD ship rom,. but when i try to upgrade it, it says " ERROR:200, The Upgrade Software is outdated" kinda message!
now can someone please guide me how can i bring alive my friends rom, what is it i should do to successfully install some rom in it in English.
Please help!
thanks a lot!
Hi all,,
Please someone help me out with this problem...
Which rom should i try, or what is the problem with this?
Thanks a lot.
Did you cid unlock the hone either with USPL or IMEIcheck? If so, you should be able to load an OEM rom back on the phone. Try the HTC WWE WM5 rom or the German WM6...I dont see any reason why an unlocked phone wont accept at least one of those.
hi itschase...
No, i dont know if it was cid unlocked or not.
About USPL or IMEICHECK, nothign was done on it.
As i mentioned, one phone got flashed successfully, but the other failed!
I have tried the HTC WWE WM5 shipped rom, if thats what u are hinting to, but not the German WM6.
I have a crazy idea...
My phone is not bricked, but I was able to try running the USPL ROM Update utility on my phone from bootloader. I have zero idea if this would unbrick your phone, but its worth a shot - cant get much worse (or can it?). Download the USPL file, and run just the rom update utility with your phone in bootloader. After it resets your phone, put it back into bootloader and try reinstalling an OEM rom. I am probably wasting your time, but its worth a shot....
s
aaaaa
llllll
Insane Devil:
you need original rom for your device (with correct model id).
this should flash your device.
in the future, install uspl on your device before upgrading rom.
regards,
Factory Roms should be able to help u out in this...?

Good Idea but ... not correct!
Your device might be CID locked and you were able to run USPL from bootloader, because ... you already have had USPL. Am I right?

[REQ]Rogers HTC Bricked - Please Help (Advanced User)

Hello Everybody,
Let me start off by saying that this is the worst phone I've ever used. I had great expectations from this phone but never mind - I'm going to stick to my Excalibur.
This is the first time in my life that i actually bricked a phone. I installed a couple of cooked ROMs and everything went fine. I have experience with CID Unlocking and flashing ROMs. Anyways, all I did was try to flash back to the original Rogers ROM from the Original Shipped ROMS thread and that's when my phone got bricked.
I have searched and done everything possible so far and NOTHING WORKS!
So far I've done this:
1) I have tried flashing the Chinese ROM/Dopod WWE Asia ROM as their official HTC ROM's.
2) Done a hard reset
3) Loads into Boot Loader and the boot loader version is
IPL - 2.21.0002
SPL - 2.21.0000
4) Ran MTTY and i got gsecuritylevel=FF (which means install shipped ROM)
5) Tried running USPL but no luck
6) Tried installing Rogers ROM from the original shipped ROMS thread, still no luck as it gets to 3% and reboots
I seriously don't know what else to do. This is just ANNOYING!! Ive been sitting here for the past 4-5 hours trying to get this damn thing to work.
Is there a way to downgrade the SPL so I could flash a ROM?
Is there a free permanent CID Unock available?
Is there ANY WAY out there to unbrick a Rogers HTC TOUCH
(DAMN ROGERS !!!)
Finally, I'm trying the SD Card ROM Update method and hoping it works.
Mods, if you see this and know of a way to help me out, please do or anyone else who knows what to do so my life is back to normal, please help. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ok, I tried the SD Card method, it says Checking SD Card Contents and nothing happened, all i see is a tri color screen. The SD Card is 2 GB, is the only file present on the card and it was renamed accordingly (the .nbh file).
Please help as I'm going nuts trying to fix this.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
Anyone at all?
I've done all the searching I could and everything I've tried so far has failed on me.
I can get into the bootloader, get into the hard reset and even can run a mtty session and no matter what I do, it gets stuck at the HTC logo.
In addition to this, all ROM's that I have tried so far keep getting the Error 270 (Obviously due to not being able to even temporarily CID unlocking it).
I did notice a lot of people have bricked their devices and I figure if i can get into the boot loader screen then at least SOMETHING can be done.
Here is what i have learned.
I have the Rogers Touch, and i said SCREW IT, and going to pick up an AT&T Tilt.. I already have 2 S621's, 1 Tytn 2, and i need another phone for my dad.
I had the touch for 1 week and had the same problem as you. Here is what i gather.
1. YOU CANNOT - install the original ROM if you flashed the incorrect ROM
2. Because there is no HARD SPL, i used the USPL, which on reset will result in a CID relock.
3. In this condition, the only way to reflash if you can't get back into the regular today screen is a custom SPL, by Olipro or something.
But Olipro (i keep forgetting his name), charges 75 GBP which equates to $160CDN or so. I bought my HTC Touch used for $200CDN. Makes no sense to fix it. So i am going to try and sell this phone to someone who wants to fix it for cheap.
Sorry man, i looked EVERYWHERE for a fix, and there was NONE to be found, unless you use this guy , who has succesfully fixed everyone elses phone.
Honestly, if my phone was worth alot more than $200, i would pay him with no issue, but because the fix is the same as buying the same phone again, it makes no sense.
Are you serious?!!!
So there's no way for me to fix this piece of ****? frig man.
I paid for this and now I can't fix it?
Can Rogers find out that I tried playing around with the phone or not? I hope not because It's been only 3 days since I got this and it's been barely used.
If there's a fix, please let me know.
That's not even worth it. If there's someone out there that can fix it, please help - Thanks
P.S: Thanks for your response.
Did you to a reformat/Hard Reset on phone first and then tried to reflash?
Worked for me once when i ****ed up badly.
Reset Button and hold down Both call Buttons.
And maybe i should not ask this but you have removed both SD and SIM card?
I'm uploading a 2.26 Rom at the moment.
Doesn't Canada have Vogue devices like the US? (this is a real question i don't know)
Attached is a 2.26 SPL only.
How far does it get in the Flashing screen (45%)?
And here's Full T-Mobile NL Rom with 2.26 http://rapidshare.com/files/122419910/RUU_signed.nbh.html

Yes, I think I did do a hard reset but I will try again in 5 mins. It was a bad flash cause it stopped in the middle I think.
Yup Both SD Card & SIM Card Removed.
Im guessing the only way I could fix this would be - get the original shipped ROM but so far I was only able to find a dump and not an actual update installer.
My SPL & USPL is 2.21 - So what do you recommend. upgrading the SPL and then trying to re-flash..
Would the TMobile ROM work because my phones Rogers branded and no Canada does not have the Vogue.
In answer to your question, it doesn`t go more than 2-3 % and then gives me an Update Error (270)
ahhh...this is driving me insane.
Thanks so much for the help so far. Really hope you guys can help me out here.
The main thing is if it flashes SPL only in general or if it does the same thing.
You might even try just flashing the SPL 1.11.11 from Pof from bootloader.
Or just flash the original SPL.
If it doesn't I don't know a way of unlocking in Bootloader.
But more heads will pop up with some Flashing Nightmares experiences soon.

I just performed a hard reset and tried reflashing but still no luck. It gets to 3% then reboots.
In regards to what you attached, how do I go about doing it? Let me know. I downloaded the 2.26 SPL and the NL ROM.

Original SPL being Rogers (Can't find it anywhere except a dump)?
k I'll try flashing the SPL 1.11
- Any other thoughts, bro? Thanks!
Did u tried SD card flashing??
Yeah, I did.
I tried the .nbh from the Rogers Dump and it says Invalid Certificate. I tried this other .nbh which said Dead_Elfin, still no luck and the Dopod Asia
I'm so mad/upset and I've tried so many methods to fix it. Is there no way I can get the Rogers dump to work in any way?
Hey man!
Somewhere in this thread (2nd page) a guy refers to a ROM that revives your half-dead Touch, "if you trust him"!
But you don't have anything to lose at this point,
so check it out! The link to the ROM is still alive.
Good Luck!

Erro 270, wasn't that image corrupt error.
Damn Olipro can't you help a Mod out yous.
Threaten to ban his ass.
When you say Dumped Roger's rom, you prolly mean dumped Roger's rom, then repacked with HTCRT right?
And not the official full Exe installer.

i think its time we make it clear to everybody that XDA means SHARING to help everyone out and not to ask for money in return for something. XDA should only be for those ppl who can work hard for everyone without asking for money.
This phone was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I'm sick and tired of this already and I still haven't been able to get it fixed.
LukyBandit
I tried everything that these guys told you to do, NOTHING WORKS.
We have an operator branded device and do not have an ORIGINAL ROM to load in other than a DUMP.
Thats why we are stuck.
I am looking for someone local GTA that might charge less, but yes your TOUCH is fukked unless you are willing to pay OLIPRO $160CDN to fix a phone thats worth $200ish.
I am buying a TILT today, its not worth the stupid touch to fix.
What a waste of money that was. I am so happy my TYTN2 and my soon to purchase TILT has a HARD SPL to it.

hermes brick... no rom.. wont boot using PB

my friend owns an 8525 and all of a sudden it stopped working (cant make/recieve calls and text messages). i tried doing a hard reset and it didnt work. he called att and the tech guy told him that his phone needs to reinstall the rom, which also didnt work. he bought a new phone and gave me the hermes so that i can play around with it. i tried installing wm6 on it and at 15% the update stopped.. and the phone reset itself. now.. it doesnt have a rom installed and keeps on going to the tricolor screen. i tried the unbrick method (in the wiki) several times and still no luck. it keeps telling me that i dont have enough ram but the booting still wont start. what are my other options for fixing this?... my kaiser was bricked before and i did the unbrick method for that and it work.. i havent tried that yet but is there any chance that it will work..?..
he doesnt need the phone anymore but hes hoping that itll be fixed so he can use it as a backup phone.. so.. yea.. any other ideas for ressurecting an old friend?
thanks!!
Sounds like the radio rom is dead.... Whats the SPL? You have a chance if it has Hard SPL installed - should say SPL - 2.10 olipro.
If so, try flashing a stock rom first, then a radio only rom. If you get no love, flash a cooked rom on it. I'd do it using the sd card method.
It should work as a PDA if you can't flash the radio, but its a brick cos no more phone calls...
If he doesn't want that, he could sell it on ebay for spare parts...
Cheers...
I just went through a similar situation last night. I am running dvh_79's v16 (build 19965.1.2.3) Lite. I added his HTC Today Plugin from the sdauto zip file but didn't like how the Today plugin slowed down my phone, so I uninstalled it and that's when my radio took a dump.
I used the instructions in the Hard SPL forum post #116 to unbrick it using the same rom and radio .nbh files and it went off without a hitch.
The first thing anyone should flash onto their phone is Hard SPL v7. Even before any skins. It won't make you 100% safe from bricks, but I'm damn glad I had it on there this morning while I was reinstalling my phone.
BTW ultramag69, I saw a lot of posts by you in various threads talking about unbricking a phone, and correct me if I am wrong, but if I have olipro 2.10 SPL on my phone (which I do), is it possible to initiate an install of a ROM image without being able to successfully boot the OS on the phone? Does Olipro automatically look for HERMIMG.nbh on the SD card? That was a point of confusion for me at first until I ran the HARDSPPL.exe file, but then again my phone didn't brick to the point I couldn't boot the OS.
What are the choices if you cannot boot OS? Are there any that can be performed from the bootloader itself?
Thanks.
well.. i did the kaiser unbrick procedure.. the mtty thingy.. it kinda worked. after that i installed the dopod wm6 rom... it handled the wm6 well---for a while.. after booting, the phone would turn off by itself (w/ 100% battery of course) or even restart itself..
sometimes it will stay on and be "fully functional" (w/o the calling and messaging still...) but somehow freezes when i look at the device information, specifically in the page where it displays the imei (which is missing btw...)..
the "phone" function doesnt work either, as it doesnt show the dialer.. and then after a few minutes, the phone finally freezes...
idk why this happens.. i tried installing other roms but the rom update always freezes. i tried 4 different roms already... so i had to do the mtty thing again...
(i have hardspl installed)
Codevyper, IF YOU HAVE hARD SPL INSTALLED, yes you can run the os flash. Just put the sd card in and reset. As the Hermes is going to the bootloader anyway it will recognise the flash file "hermimg.nbh". I've successfully fixed my phone when thats happened.
akosiryan, it sounds like you may have a corrupted radio rom. This is not gonna make you happy but this is ,at this point, almost 100% unbrickable. You could try to flash a radio only rom - no os, just the radio - but if it gets stuck and you've tried the stock rom then it looks like its a permanent brick...
You should be able to use as a PDA if you don't play with the phone functions though...
Just as a last shot, you could always use MTTY to check for bad blocks BUT this requires you to downgrade the SPL to 1.10 olipro to fix if you do. Please note though that sometimes the carrier does give you a couple of bad blocks to "brand" it as theirs...
Best of luck.

Thanks ultramag69! I am indeed running olipro 2.10 on my phone so it makes me feel better knowing that if I can get the nbh on the card, then I can flash the ROM that way.
oh well.. me and my friend decided to sell his phone on ebay or sumthin..lol.. so its not a problem.. ill try to do one last step tho.. like flashing the radio only rom to see if itll work.. but i dont really care anymore.. lol.
No problem... If the Ebay from where you're from is like Aussie ebay, you should get approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the price that the working models go for. Generally the price goes up about 6 hours before the end of the auction with the price skyroketing in the last 10 mins... I'd probably give it a few days on Ebay to make sure people see it....
If you do get the radio rom working, Hermes (jasjam/dopod 838 pro) go for about $250 - $350Aud in Oz.
Cheers...
ok then! thanks

format failed .. stuck on splash screen..

hey guys.. i need some help
i installed an app an asked me to restart the device.. i did
and now it's stuck on the splash screen
IPL 2.27
SPL 2.27
GSM 02.44.11
OS 2.27.1.1
and the orange brand wallpaper
what can i do? i tried to reset it and format it
but an error shows up
"Press Send to restore factory default,
Other keys to quit"
ok.. send it is
"Format FAT Partition
Format failed"
i can enter RGB bootloader (cam button+power), but i don't know what i can do??
ps: i just got it from a friend, i don't think my phone is cid-unlocked..
and i'm stuck at the splash screen and nothing to do
please help me.. tell me what can i do
Ouch.
Sounds like the built-in flash memory is bad. I'm not sure what you can do about that, short of replacing it.
No offense Reverend, but where did you hear that? Its just bad flash man! Simply enter the bootloader mode, and re-flash a new rom to your device. What program where you trying to install?

something from a pocket freeware site.. "XDA-Team_Manilla2D.CAB"
it's a touchflo 2d app for today screen.. after installing it, the sistem wouldn't boot up anymore. so i tried to format, soft reset, to restore the system..
the formatting started and then gave an error and shut down immediately. i didn't even catch a glimps of that error 'cause it restarted.. and then the problem. it won't go past the operator splash screen
tried to reformat.. would't start.. format failure
..simply wow.. don't get me wrong , but i didn't knew there was a bootloader screen until this happened.. i dug up about this problem on the forum, but i can't solve it.. i don't know that much about flashing.. isn't the wizard supposed to be cid-unlocked to be able to flash it with a new rom?
or there's a rom that doesn't require the pda to be unlocked?.. cause' i think mine isn't. and, since i can't get it to boot up the os, i can't cid-unlock it after the tutorials i've found here..
and i don't want to bury it, yet
Oh you poor sole...that program that you tried to flash is notorious...I did the very same thing to mine just the other day. It doesnt work with the Wizard yet for some reason.
Now, onto your problem, yes-I think that your Wizard IS INDEED CID locked, and if that is the case, search for the Wizard LOVE ROM and flash it. It can be flashed with a CID unlocked device. Head into your bootloader mode, then start up the RUU flashing program on your PC that is included with the ROM. After it flashes, you can use the Wizard Service Tool, which is also availible via searching to CID and SIM unlock your device, and then you can put any ROM that you like onto it. I hope that helps somewhat!
If you can get it into bootloader mode, you can recover. If the phone is not unlocked, you will have to load the original service ROM for that phone.
You MIGHT get lucky by just flashing the IPL/SPL back though, now that I think about it...look at the "How to Remove HardSPL" thread for the most popular IPL/SPL sets. If this works, you won't have to put all of your custom settings and programs back on.

Plz note all the IP/SPL posted in the thread 'How To Remove HardSPL' are for G4 devices and they are not meant to be flashed to a G3 device,if flashed will certainly 'Brick' the G3 device.
Whereas,here ,he has a G3 device with IPL/SPL 2.27,flashing those IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) means instant death of the phone.

Simply,download the official stock rom of the carrier and flash it in Bootloader mode to recover back to its default status,than downgrade to IPL/SPL 1.xx to CID unlock the phone,how to CID unlock the phone, read and follow this guide carefully :-

If you have said the truth... you've got a G3 device cause your ipl spl are 2.27.
So try to install this original ROM... is for Tmobile WWE so try it.... http://rapidshare.com/files/38880130/ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe.html
Or search on tutorials tu unlock and upgrade the wizard Love ok?
Good luck men...
And please please please read and ask before do anything, BTW now the only you can do is to runn this ROMs cause you cant get your original carriers ROM.
If this dont works... please read the thread from upgrading forum in this wizard subforum that said something like Stuck on splash screen solution DYI or something the tuttorial DEV is called Drug_store.

10x a lot.. i hope it won't die on me..
LE:
i tried the O2 rom [12.18.3.103] u gave me. it doesn't start flashing.. 0% and then
quoting:ERROR "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer NBF file."
ps: The orange one on the xda ftp server doesn't work .. it's archived and parts are missing..
Hmmm,ok,lets try this out,download 'Button's Rom 1.05' from the link posted below and check if this works out.
Otherwise,you'll have to look for official Stock Rom (Romanian),which was running on the phone before.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...0for newbies
i'll try this one.. for now.. ps:your link is broken?
i just have another question.. i have a friend with the same wizard as mine, i mean in the same carrier.. is it possible cu get his rom? to dump it on SD card.. or something?
so that i may flash that rom?
LE:
i found another thing on a DIY
If you got IPL/SPL 1.xx go to G3.3. If you got 2.xx go to G3.4
G3.3 Download button rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.
G3.4 Download wizard_love rom and flash it to your device. Your device should startup again after doing this. Go to G3.5.

should i try the wizard_love rom?
ok,download Button's Rom 1.05 from here:-
http://rapidshare.com/files/18212239/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.html
also try this one :-
xda_miniS_LaunchRom
http://rapidshare.com/files/43423464/Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe
and yes! you can also try Wizard_Love _Rom.
Now,its possible to back up the rom from your friend's phone,but it also have to be CID unlocked first and your device shud also be CID unlocked to flash it from the sdcard (MTTY) method.
pfff (
i've updated the rom with the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 and now i have a blue sci-fi splash screen with "AKU 2.3" in the top-right corner..
IPL 2.27
SPL 2.27
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
same ****
won't boot up
and if i try to format, same error.. Format Failed.. so here i am again
hmmmm,try a Hard Reset,hope it works or try other roms I have posted above.
Do you have any sdcard inserted in the phone right now,take it out before flashing any rom.

dude.. that's what i've been trying hard reseting it.. and i get the same error each time i try it "Format Failed"
no sd inserted.. i took it out a while ago.. cause i read on the forum to flash without it.
i begining to get desperate over here
i'll try other roms..
what else can i do than hope this works
Also take out if any sdcard or mini sd is inserted in the phone before flashing,it also causes this Format Failed problem.
