HELP - no joy

i have an uk orange spv m3100 running the asain dopod wm6

ive read and re-read everything

my tricolour screen reads

HERM100

IPL-1.04

HERM100

SPL2.10.Olipro

ive reformatted my 1 gig card, tried the RUU_signed.nbh from vp3g and black satin(n), in the root of my card and renamed them HERMIMG.nbh

ive tried SSPL-HERM and by holding both ok and power buttons and pushing the stylus in the hole

all i ever get is the tricolour screen come up, then for a brief flash i see some text, and back to the tricolour screen

im running wm6 asain dopod at the moment but i ultimately want black satin,

ive been at this a few days trying the standard usb way, and now 6 hours using the microSD card

when i try doing the rom change by usb i get so far then i stick on the tricolour screen, so maybe theres something im not doing first, but i cant figure out what that could be , as if used different roms before with no probs

thanks in advance for any suggestions

hi again,

my tricolour screeen now reads

HERM100

IPL-SSPL by des

HERM100

SPL-1.09.ds

ive tried to use the "HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a" via USB cable, my phone asks if i want to run sspl.exe and wen i press yes, the tricolor screen comes up (as above with serial in the white section) and then my windows hardware thingy asks for disc as it doesnt reconise the phone anymore

i know its going a bit off topic, but this as far as i get now wether its unlocking or installing a new os/rom

i thought before active sync was my problem, but as it stops at the same point when trying to install from memory card, id be so grateful for any help

********************

UPDATE

ive sort of got it fixed, had some help from CMONEX, i had error code of 260, that meant my pc and phone werent comminicating properly, so my usb cable was faulty (even tho activesync worked fine) so i tried a different one, ive now managed to get black satin on my phone the normal way, so i wont try the card update method out just yet (if it aint broke dont fix it), but wen i do ill report back

I cleared my storage card, formatted, ran chkdisk, moved and renamed HERMMIMG.nbh.

lol, So I get started to do everything via USB, then I hit next to update the new ROM, but I forgot that my memory card was in the phone still, so it goes back to that. Thought I fubar'd it again.

But I think I know why it messed up last time, which should be a warning for anyone else trying it. My screen automatically shut off. Which I think messed it up?

Upgrading now...

I'm upgrading as i'm typing this.

I just realised why i keep getting the 3 tricolor boot screen.

Note: 1) Use a proper FORMATTING program. Windows XP format doesnt work for me.

2) Move the the HERMIMG file through ur active sync if possible.

3) Make sure the file is in the ROOT directory called storage. i did mine again through active sync.

4)Then run SSPL FROM ur mobile.

You should not get the triband screen

This upgrade tip is great. I had been frustrated by difficulties with the USB/ activesync connection for upgrade. I followed this method and wow! Voila!

As regards formatting the memory card, I formatted the card to FAT32 with WinXP and it worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
weber3040, Do some reading first about flashing so your next post won't be asking for help because you bricked your phone, then Hard SPL first. You can do this by sd card - read page 116 of the Hard SPL thread in upgrading. Only after doing that should you attempt this. Errors will occur otherwise and you'll find yourself with a brick. After Hard SPL is installed you can flash ANY HERMES ROM..

Good luck and Happy Flashing......:D

Thank's
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pvs:
vlap ... Please note that these instructions are for Hermes Devices. Hermes devices use .NBH files. If your device uses some other format, then:

1) It is probably NOT a Hermes Device

2) These particular instructions and methodologies probably will not work, although there MIGHT be some similar methods available for your device. You'll need to look around in the forum(s) available for your hardware.

Good luck,

I can't format my SD card because of EncFiltLog.menc file on the SD card.

Is there any way to get rid of the file/tool?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Format fat32 using pc. No probs then.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shoekstra:
Sure that's an option but because upgrading ROM from SD does not work with me, I guess it's the format. Therefore I want to format using the WM Flash Format tool.

So how to get rid of the file in WM? Or even the WM6.1 encryption software!?

Edit: Did it again, but now formatting FAT32 instead of FAT. And using hard reset instead of booting to WM and executing SPL from WM.

It worked. Thx all!

BTW This is from a WM6.1 ROM to original HTC WM6.0 WWE ROM

Tri-colour or "BOOTLOADER" as it is called.....

Make sure you have Hard SPL installed before you install from the sd card or you WON'T get any love... Just a long time of tragedy and pain where your Hermes won't boot...

Search for instructions on how to do this too as it didn't start the flash (luckily for you if you don't have Hard SPL).

Hi,

I am using a 8GB SDHC card, formatted it and put HERMIMG.nbh on but it just gets to the bootloader and stays there saying "Serial". Is it because it's a 8GB SDHC card, or is it because my phone hates me or is it something else entirely?

Thanks OP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] https:
Excellent - worked for spv 3100 wm6.5 !

When I first saw this method, I wasn't sure that it could be as straight forward as described and opted for several of the other roms and methods described in other threads.

To clarify, the handset is a TyTn or SPV 3100 or Hermes, previously running Orange WM5.0 SPL1.11

The image I used was from the 21198_Lite_V11 rom, renaming RUU_signed.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh

Followed above instructions and 15 minutes later, was running the connection wizard to setup carrier internet access.

Initial reports are all positive, TouchFlo works well, 3g & calls fully operational.

Thanks for this. Keep up the good work.

Help

I couldn't install. when i was upgrading, the progress bar stop about 80%, and freezes. i don't know what to do now... I'm trying to install from SD Card cause the RUU didn't work to me, but when I thought that I finally had found a solution (installing from Storage Card), I openned SSPL-Herm and it goes to the tri-color screen, then I pressed "Power" to start the upgrade and appear "Update in Progress" but now is freezed aproximately on 80% and I got this error, anyone can help me?

What could be happened? I've formatted the SD card with Storage Tools, and copied the HERMING.bnh to the card, and the card had a hidden folder when I copied the file, WDMRM (something like this), I just let it.

sorry for the bad english.

thank you

1st, go to here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

page 116, post 1160 and install Hard SPL V7.

2nd -

1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .

2. Insert sd card into Hermes and go to bootloader.

3. If you have followed the instructions and made no mistakes, follow the prompts.

The reason we use Hard SPL V7 is because it is the safest SPL to use. Earlier versions are not as reliable and Soft SPL (SSPL) is not very safe at all.

Please note however, installing Hard SPL isn't a guarantee of not bricking your Hermes but an aid in its recovery. There are NO guarantees....Its called life.

Flashing hardSPL onto herm100 via SD card

If you have a herm100 running version WM5 then you need to use a 2gb or less "SD" card NOT SDHC. Formatted to FAT32 to 512bytes (and check for errors - Properties/tools/error checking)

Copy RUU_signed.nbh off your PC onto SD card and rename it so it looks: hermimg.nbh

Copy SSPL-HERM into root directory of your device, pop the SD card into your device, run SSPL-HERM which should then go straight into bootloader (tri screen) then a blank white screen saying "loading".

white screen will then prompt you to press pwr button to begin flash.

soft reset when flash is successfully complete (approx 30sec's)... DONE!

To check:

(NOTE: make sure you take out the SD card before this otherwise will keep reading off card)

Press "OK" & "Pwr" buttons together and insert stylus into reset hole to manually enter into bootloader. screen should read:

HERM100 IPL-1.04

HERM100 SPL-2.10 olipro

hope this helps someone

wm6 download

First, I hope this is the correct forum for this request. If it isn't please tell me where to move it to or please move it and tell me where you moved it to so I can keep up with it. Thanks. Does anyone have a link to a site where I can download WM6 for my AT&T 8525? I love my phone but didn't know that there were places that would help you upgrade it. I didn't even know the WM6 was being offered. I thought it was just for the new phones. Everywhere I look for a download it is no longer available. Anyway if someone can help me I sure would appreciate it.Oh and any instructions on how to do it would also be appreciated. All this talk about boot loader and manager this has me all confused and no I am not blonde just old and worn out. Reply to me at Coinhunter@charter.net please or on here is ok to. I just don't know how often I will get to come to this website.

I'm looking to purchase another Amazon TV that's already preloaded with extras. There's so many people doing it I don't know who I should go with...?? I've looked at them on eBay some are going for $200 others less and one guy says this guy is copying me the other guy says that guy is copying me an back-and-forth. So I'm looking for some direction. Any recommendations for A preloaded Amazon TV? I don't want all of the adult channels and porn channels or whatever you call it loaded on to it. I don't know if I can customize it so they are not there....

Also with all those "free" movies and TV shows and such can you get in trouble with your Internet provider or whatever like the DMCA and get notices from your using such features as all of these add-ons that are provided?

I had gotten A notice in my e-mail from Comcast once when I downloaded something I didn't know about. Just wondering if that can happen again a notice of copyright infringement
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraschorsch:
Just buy a regular AFTV somewhere and follow the steps in the link. You get XBMC/Kodi with pretty much everything you could ask for and with the tool mentioned in that link you don't need to be a rocket scientist to install it on your AFTV

http://www.tvaddons.ag/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv/

And if you are scared to get caught watching movies or tv shows like this, don't do it. It depends on the laws of your country how they treat people that don't really download content but stream it (which is basically downloading).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfly611:
It looks like a massive amount of customization when i look at what some of the pre programmed ones have on ebay??? At least when you look at the options they give you on the pre programmed amazon TVs. I basically would want the live TV, hbo and some movie channels I don't really need the most current movies like the handy cam versions I would rather see it in HD and I would not like any of the porn channels LOL not interested in that.

Thanks for the link! I'll read through it and see what I can do. I don't remember if I mentioned it I already have have an Amazon TV with XBMC on it but it's the Gotham version. I was trying to get it so it would recognize my silicone dust network tuner but couldn't get that to work. I have to work on it more yet... I also was trying to get my synology NAS recognized so I can share the files I do have on it but was having trouble with that as well... I'll figure it out eventually just wish it was sooner than later. Thanks for the advice I'm going to give it more of a go. i still am interested in those pre set amazons as an option. but ill work on mine too!

thanks again!

I also have hdhomerune prime there is many ways to watch live tv,my provider is fios and I will need to learn how to use the PVR addon for xbmc but I saw it works great!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
If you have an HDHomeRun you probably want to setup a PVR backend for watching live/recorded shows through XBMC/Kodi. It's not too difficult but you need (or probably highly desire) to set this up on a computer that is always on. Here is a good place to start: http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend

As for which pre-loaded FireTV to buy - none of them. Spending $200 for a $100 device is a waste. There are plenty of great guides and videos to help you set it up however you want, just ask here or on an XBMC/Kodi forum or do a bit of googling to get started. You are going to want to know how to do it yourself anyway to keep up on updates, side-load different apps, and generally set-up your device the way YOU want it. Once you go through it the first time and have an understanding of it all it's easy.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wqwrqrfq:
I have to agree with skeptic_always and Ultraschorsch, Buying a plain FTV and installing yourself is very easy.

You mentioned you already have XBMC, download TVMC and install it. It won't overwrite your XBMC, it will load as a separate app and it will install many addons when first started... probably the same addons Ebay sellers are installing for that $100 premium.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Isn't TVMC same as XBMC? just with some tweaks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraschorsch:
It has a lot of tweaks, repos and plugins installed by default. You pretty much just start it and you are good to go.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfly611:
thanks all Very cool! I have TVMC installed and it's working! I am having trouble with my PVR. I would've liked to have conneted it wirelessly but not sure if thats the problem or what. I am only 10 feet away from my router wouldve thought wifi is fine. I had set up Live TV viewing before but maybe I did not do it correctly?? When I go to live TV then TV channels I get a listing of TV channels that I'm guessing is from my silicone dust TV tuner. When I select the channel it shows me what is on the channel but it does not play. Also it does not show me that HD stations abnormal TV such as ABC, Fox, NBC and such. It goes from 1 to 541. On my Comcast it goes all the way up to the 800s I believe and that's where the HD stations are. Even when I select channel 3 which is not HD but regular prime channel I guess it does not display it just sticks. Also, it's mind-boggling how many things there are for the TV MC.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfly611:
Is there a list for guide for installing the best channels or whatever you call it such as these below. . . . Really wouldn't want channels that are just crappy like. My ultimate goal would be at a set when these and make it easy enough for my parents to use and get rid of cable TV which I'm not sure my parents will ever learn LOL

HBO Entertainment, HBO 1, HBO 2, Disney XD, HGTV, National Geographic,

Discovery, TNT, Fox, Fox 11, Sky Movies, Comedy Central, The CW, USA Network,

Spike, Cinemax, Animal, History HD, Food Network, A & E, FilmOn, Animal Planet, BIO, CNN,

Comedy Net, The Country Network, AMC, Fox Movies, Fuel TV, FX, NBC, RMC Top 40, TLC, TNT, Toons, TruTV, NASA, Starz HD, Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science, Bite TV, Bravo, CBS, ABC, ABC Family, NHK World, SYFY, TLC, BBC HD, iTV 2, iTV 3,GM Channel, Fox 2 Detroit, Film HD, icefilms, 1channel, ..........

I definitely don't want the adult channels on it but I do want live TV which I'm still trying to get my PVR running. I'm probably not doing something right. I will keep trying.

Also I read somewhere that the new Amazon fire TVs you can't jailbreak or put XBMC on it? If that's the case where's the best place to buy another one that I can customize before they become too scarce?

Thanks in advance again
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wqwrqrfq:
The fire TV should ALWAYS be able to have XBMC put on it, no need to worry.

As far as all those channels you'll just have to do a search for those (i.e. "XBMC Discovery", XBMC "TNT", etc.) ustvnow.com gives you 6 channels free and if you want more there's a minimal charge. There's a repo(sitory) named Superrepo which when installed gives you hundreds of possible addons, I'd be surprised if you don't find everything you need in there.

bought mine at staples yesterday and it was still running the old firmware.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfly611:
What's that matter? Are you saying that because with new firmware you cannot load all the add-ons? Just curious...

User "wqwrqrfq" stated that you should always be able to load XBMC and add-ons.

One question for everyone... How long should it take to load certain Channels? By the way am I calling whatever each connection or option you can select right? Are they called something else? Just want to make sure I'm referring to it right. Also originally I had my Amazon TV connected on Wi-Fi but I know wire would be better. I connected by way of ethernet but it still takes A minute or more sometimes to load. Is that normal? Is that because of processing power from the Amazon TV or connection speed? I get about 30 to 40 Mb per second on my Internet connection.
