I have tried everything under the sun to upgrade my T-Mob PPPC/PE with Yorch's T-Mobile unofficial Upgrade to WM2003. I can't get it to work. Tried: loading ROM to SD card and soft reset, using XDATools OSImagetool, etc... :x
I believe it is tough for any one to advice if you don't state what exactly you did and what error messages you got .....
Are you trying bootloader method. or other method. Please present more detail regarding your problem including current rom/radio etc and things that you have tried already.
Sorry. First, loaded the file, NK.NBF onto my SD card using OSImagetool.exe. Then per instructions that were given to me, did a soft boot on the device. It simply rebooted and after it came up, there was a message on the screen asking my if I wanted to format the SD card for use with the device and telling me that if I hit "yes", the card would be erased and all data lost on the card.
The next thing I tried was to use OSImagetool.exe directly. Source- nk.nbf (on my desktop) and Destination: Device memory (via Programme A). The error I got was "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device.
I even tried to run OSImagetool.exe from the command prompt using --register as an argument and got the same exact error.
Then, I loaded the NK.NBF file to the SD card then ran OSImagetool with source: SD card, destination: Device memory. Then got the same error: "Programme A not found - run with "--register" error opening target device."
Hope that helps.

They are the same program OSImagetool is just the name of the .exe file.
@jhug whats your bootloader version? Sounds like it might be 5.17 or newer!
HTH
When the xda asked you if you wanted to format the sd card you should answer no, it means the rom has in fact been written to the card, you then need to enter bootloader mode, a soft reset is no good, just push the stylus in the reset hole while holding down the power button, it will then ask you to push the action button which is the centre of the 4 way pad, your rom will then be programmed, make sure the battery is charged also. When the process is complete, unscrew your stylus, then insert the top half of the stylus in the hole on the bottom right of your xda, just push once, after one minute push again, this turns the battery off, then on again, you should then have a working system.
my bootloader is 5.22 btw
I wanted to check and see if the ROM was in fact on the SD card, so I did a soft reset and the notification came up and asked me if I wanted to format the SD card. I clicked no and assumed the nk.nbf file was on the card. I then did a soft reset while pressing the power button and went into bootloader mode. It did not ask me to push the action button, so I did anyways and it went into diagnostics mode. Ideas???
I'll try reloading the ROM on the SD card and try it again. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for your help! BTW, bootloader version is 5.15.

Consider yourself luck if you haven't had any problems upgrading
using the SD card boot loader method then!
Also most of the RS upgrade failures that I seen / fixed and tried to fix had boot loader 5.17 or higher, so keep that in mind. :wink: Lucky, Lucky you!

Please do!
Also whats the size and make of your SD card?
Well, I tried it again and the same thing happened. It went into bootloader mode and did not ask me if I wanted to install the new OS. I tried pressing the volume button and it said to connect the USB cable. I also pressed the contacts button and it went into Diagnostic mode. Aaaaaarrrrrgh!
BTW, it's a 256MB Sandisk card. (Great for holding about 200 songs! :lol: )

Some how I knew you where going to say a "256MB Sandisk"!
For some unknown reason had the same problem using the same card,
if you can try using a 64MB or a 128MB card and see what happens. :wink:
HTH
It finally worked! I loaded the ROM to the 256mb Sandisk SD card while in the unit, removed the SD card, inserted the SD card, then did a warm boot while pressing the power button and the ROM image loaded! I did the usual battery cutoff and then rebooted it and it works fine. Thanks everyone who gave me advice with this. :lol: :lol:
Where there is a well there is a way, great job!
But how in the hell did you figure that one though? :wink:
I decided to get creative. Dangerous when you're working in Wallaby, but it worked! :shock:
help me

herm100
ipl:1.04
spl:2.10.01ipro
what can i do can save my herm 100
orange spv m3100 branded
1st, calm down.....
Now, its good you Hard SPLed your phone. Try upgrading your os with the sd card. None of these communication errors.
1st thing to do is backup your sd card to pc if you havr a card reader. Then format it fat32. Open the installation files, you should see two files, "RUUWrapper.exe" and "RUU_signed.nbh".
copy the RUU_signed.nbh file onto your sd card and rename it to "hermimg.nbh".
Put the card into your hermes and reset. Since it is going into bootloader anyway you won't have to do it manually. This should then upgrade the os. You will be aske to press the power button to update. As long as the rom you were trying to upgrade to before DIDN'T have a radio rom portion you should have no problems with you phone.
All the best, Cheers...
hello
my phone is not hard booting or unable to flash from SD Card.
ROM Ver: 3.62.305.5
ROM date:11/06/07
Radio Version: 1.54.30.10
Protcol Ver: 32.87.7020.20H
ExtROm Ver: 3.62.305.116
or how do i get to to my EXTROM to try flash from there
I believe you mean hard reset.... Are you holding down the right keys or are you going to bootloader...
Hard reset - Hold both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks to reset back to factory. press "R" on slideout keyboard then space.
To use the sd card method of flashing you must first have hard SPL V7 installed on your Hermes so it says
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10 oli
If you have any other spl lower than 2.10 it won't be able to use sd card method.
SD card method
1. format SDcard (2Gb or less ONLY) fat32. copy .nbh file on sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Put SD card back in Hermes and reset to bootloader.
3. If you hve formatted and named correctly, follow the prompts...
Cheers...
Hard reset
In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
- format a SD card with FAT32
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
- confirm flashing on screen
- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.
Gully
You NEED Hard SPL to do this. You can't flash the rom using the sd card without having 1st flashed Hard SPL UNLESS you run SSPL.exe in windows. If you can't get to windows you may have a BIG problem...
Hi All. Thought I would post this bit of info as I couldn't find it anywhere. I just managed to do a ROM Re-Flash on a SEDNA via the SD Card.
You need to FAT32 Format an SD Card, then copy on the relevant RUU_Signed.nbh file.
This needs renaming to SEDNIMG.nbh
Enter Bootloader mode on the device by holding the POWER button, the OK button (the one on the side under the thumbwheel) and pressing the reset with the stylus.
Release the reset (stylus) and continue to hold the buttons and hey presto you should be in bootloader.
I will not be held responsible if you brick your device though. Try at your own peril
Don't know how to put it on the WIKI, but if anyone knows - feel free.
I should mention - I used the SD Slot on the top of the device - not the side.
thanks
cheers again .. it sure did work for me .......
I'm looking to put android on my HD2 but I got a simple question.
If I install a NAND Android on my phone and I don't like it or encounter some problems can I get windows back with a hard reset or does that option get lost when I put Android on?
I got the tip to "You simply put the stock rom you want on your SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh and then go into bootloader by holding Volume down while powering on."
I have tried to find info about this, can anyone point me in the direction where there is a guide/tutorial on how to do this it it would be very appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
No, a hard reset won't do the trick, you will need to reflash a winmo rom to get it back, as installing a NAND rom (even magldr) removes winmo.
You can find info here
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the ********.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
