Ok... now this is going to be a work in progress and an answer to most questions...

To all pof, Des and Sleuth have done a great job in getting the tools together so we can flash our devices...

1. To all who want to SuperCID your device no matter what ROM version you have and no matter what Radio BootLoader version you have you can use POF's version 3 unlocker found here http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/

2. Once you have SuperCID your device you can now load extracted ExtRom, OS, and radio roms (radio can only be done if you have radio bootloader 107 or less) to do this goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG

3. For all of those not interested in ROM cooking and flashing cooked ExtROM's all you need to use is des's SSPL tool... just copy it onto your device and run it... the SPL version should say SPL-1.09.des. The tool can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293651

4. Just to clarify... once you have flashed radio bootloader 108 onto your device it is possible to do Extracted Radio only upgrades please read edit 3 below..... to check what radio bootloader version a radio rom has goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms and radio only upgraded require SPL 1.04... for instructions on how to flash that goto http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG

5. if your device is unusable please refer to here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems

appologies for all the links but thats what the wiki is for guys... lots of reading but it is all worth while in the end...

and if ive missed anything feel free to add...

edit 1... The reason you SuperCID your device is to enable flashing of any SPL Bootloader versions, extracted OS roms, extracted ExtROM's and to an extent Radio ROM's (only if your device has RadioBootloader 107 or less).... but SuperCIDing your device voids the warranty... if your just looking to upgrade your device to a newer ROM and are worried about the warranty just use des's SSPL tool... read point 3 above...

edit 2... the SSPL tool... you need to copy this onto your device while windows mobile is running... if your device is not in a usable state refer to point 5... once its finished copying click on the exe and run it... it will put your device into a 'Service' mode and with bootloader versions IPL-SSPL by Des and SPL-1.09.ds... all you need to do now is choose which shipped original rom you want to use to flash your device with... see here for options http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

edit 3... now who wants the good news woo hoo!!!! i have managed to create an unsigned nbh file and flash it onto my device... now please all follow these details step by step

1. download this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=294046

2. download the appropriate Full Shipped ROM from either the Trinity or the Hermes of which you want to rip the Radio from

3. download this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH

4. extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from the exe using winrar or something

5. open a command prompt and point it to the same folder where you extracted the files you downloaded..

6. run nbhextract to extract the radio rom... delete all other .nb files except for 05_GSM.nb

7. edit the text file for nbhgen and delete all information except for this

HERM100

8. run nbhgen.. this will generate the nbh file required to flash your device...
