[Sony Xperia L] Gregoric:
Hello,

I've flashed my Xperia L once or twice some time ago, now I just wanted to try out some of the new goodies, not just stay on the cursed 4.2.2. I have it all set up correctly software-wise, yet whenever I run Flashtool (version 9.19.8( and try to Volume-Down connect my phone, it get's problematic. Yeah, the phone does connect in flash mode, yet after a couple dozen seconds it simply disconnects as if I had manually unplugged it. Phone restarts and gets connected to PC the standard-way.

Now, is it that Flashtool automatically cuts off the connection after some time, or my cable or socket(s) are faulty? I thought it had something to do with having moved cable a tiny bit and connection being lost but now, I have tried again, ensuring no movement will be involved and it just disconnected again. I did also check all my laptop's USB ports, also bought a USB HUB and checked it. Did check two different cables, one for some Nokia, I think, no results.

Here's flashtool log.

First of all, you should check this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70833785&postcount=304

There, I've said that you should just use older versions of flashtool for XL, like v0.9.18.4 !

If it doesn't solve your problem, then you should flash the ROM , right after you connect the phone to pc, as fast as you can!

And note that if it disconnects again, do nothing, just unplug the phone and wait untill the progress bar is completed and rom is prepared for flashing, then it again asks to connect the phone, and you connect it and wait untill it Finnishes;)

It happened for me too, and with this method, I've flashed the ROM successfully!

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about this procedure! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

I found that hike stucks on scanning contacts on the latest custom roms(Android N) out there. On the initial builds of these custom roms, hike worked flawlessly. But after updating them to latest builds, hike stuck on scanning contacts. I have Moto G4 Plus, Resurrection Remix N OMS(thanks to the developers) and i faced the same issue. I tried a found a way to use hike on custom roms.

Requirements

1) Titanium Backup - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/titanium-track/titanium-backup/titanium-backup-7-0-0-11-release/titanium-backup/

2) A rooted device having stock or custom rom doesn't matter

but on that custom rom hike should be properly working.

Steps:

1) Backup hike using titanium backup on that rom or device which has hike properly working. You can simply backup hike form the previous builds of your custom rom on which hike was working.

2) Now restore that hike backup (especially data) on latest build on which hike stuck on scanning contacts.

3) Wolah hike starts working.

Bugs

1) Hike can only be used to send and receive messages and files. No contacts can be shared.

2) Timeline doesn't show up. Instead a blank page

3) You can't share images directly. You have to select images under file option then only you can share images.

4)News, games coupons, match ups and cricket dont work.

5) On some builds chat dont hide automatically on locking the screen. You have to close the app for hidden chats to hide.

Working

1) Hike can send and receive messages and files

2)Chats can bhi hidden.

3) Hike direct

4) Chat themes, voice and video calls, stickers are working perfectly fine.

Conclusion

Its just a trick to use hike. Not a full proof method. If someone has a better way, please do let me know. I'll update the thread with credits ;) . Do press the thanks button if this trick helped you. This is my first post. Please let me know if i am on the right path or i violated the rules of the community. Thanks:good:

Instead if you know Android coding add run time contacts permission codes and it will work flawlessly. I have tried to do this but I'm not in this field of development or coding or computer, so I could not do it, anyway maybe if I found exactly where to add those codes of requests I will do it... ?

Yep dude, jus need to know where to add those code I have codes but I don't know where to add it :confused: anyway till then use apktool on windows to edit the apk file u can edit it with notepad :good:
[General Topics] raviranjan_0908:
I found an easy way

First install hike from play store and then log in into hike as usual it will get stuck at syncing contacts menu now minimum it and go into play store and sign up for beta testing and install the beta version and then open hike viola you will get past that screen but the bugs mentioned above will be the same and contacts wont sync but you can still get messages and if you want to send anything use file sending tool it is working and there is one more bug you can't change profile photos hope this helps:D

[General Topics] prashant1997:
Install latest magisk 13.2 through zip.

It passes safety net.

Then enable magisk hide from magisk manager settings nand hide hike .

It will make hike work properly without any issue ( Fully Functional)

Not working for me.. Did evrythng told. Hike works perfectly on my old device moto g 1st gen running RR 7.1.2 but gets stuck at loading screen on moto g5 plus also running the same RR 7.1.2. Any work arounds?
[General Topics] prashant1997:
It is working for me perfectly..

It may be because currently Google is detected magisk.

So you may have to wait for next update of magisk in which fix would be available..
[General Topics] laksh8ster:
try flashing rom with gapps, i too had this prob but flashing gapps micro 7.1.x parallely with the latest custom roms: RR, ViperOS and InvictaOS, i solved this prob!

Hope it works for you too! ^_^
[General Topics] suhas_agasthya:
I ll give it a try. Thanks! No problem with magisk though. Everything is green including safetynet.
[General Topics] suhas_agasthya:
Tried everything! No use though. Flashed RR rom with gapps of all sizes from mini to pico, still no hike.. Gets stuck at scanning contacts on Resurrection Remix 5.8.4 on Moto g5 plus.

Hike is not woking while connected to wifi. When some times clear cache it works. But still it doesnt download voice notes. And important thing is that it was working properly before
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nytronx:
I have the "wifi randomly diconnecting and reconnecting" problem. I have tried both imperium and simplegx rom and thie issue is always there :/ most of the time it disconnect when I "stress" the wifi card, for example during a conneciton speed test using the "speed test" app

Any idea on how to fix this annoying problem ? Should I flash a new modem ? Should I flash a new kernel ?

UnBrick the Bricked Hermes with "SPL 2.03 - IPL 1.04 - NO GSM - KITL Disabled"

There are many people have this kind of brick but still no solution for it.

I want to ask the mods to make this thread sticky so if anyone find a sulotion for this type of brick would post it Here.

Summary :

IPL: 1.04

SPL: 2.03

CID: NO CID (Request timeout on mtty.exe)

NO GSM

KITL Disabled

I have tested all the possible sulotions available in the wiki but none of the could help me unbrick my hermes.

P.S. : Please just post your sulotions here NOT your comments like "you should superCID your device first", "It's your fault to use telstra wm6",....

You Pm-ed me asking what to do and i pointed you in the correct direction so why have you started this thread?!

Hermes Unbricking Thread

and

Wiki page: How to unbrick your bricked hermes

EVERYTHING you need is there, you just have to read.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] koorosh_bsboys:
Maybe You do not read my Pm!

I have read all the wiki and thread concerning my problem several times!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Wam7:
The simple truth is that some phones are unrecoverable and have to be sent off for repair. Yours is one of these situations and I very much doubt that this will change. More and more of the pioneering technical guys will have updated their Hermes to another phone and the much admired POF has not been seen since he was accused of stealing...

The tacit feeling is that there is enough information and utilities to prevent people bricking their phones (i.e HardSPL and Update from MicroSD card) so if you do find yourself in this unfortunate position and can not recover your phone then you have to bite the bullet, and be better informed the next time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] koorosh_bsboys:
POF accused of stealing !!!!????

What's that all about?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nicknowsky:
I dunno if I have a the same problem, but a similar issue, and trust me I am "PC guys, AMD fanboy, A+ tech:"whatever you wanna call i, I am expanding my horizons and I got into the mobile PC world. Trust me I am NOT Google lazy, i have read and read and read and researched and cross-checked and tried literally everything. I am stuck, I know what is wrong with my Hermes, I know where it messes up, and I DO see threads in other sites with 99.9% the same problem I have and I see NO soultion or anyone who knows or Really wants to help, I feel for Koorosh we need help, I have come to terms if have to send it away to repair. That bugs me I got it Literally 3 days ago, and ONLY used the OFFICAL AT&T WM6 Rom to upgrade

Do you know to read micro sd flash not work when device is not superCID!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jerroen:
I maybe have the same issue.

From the HTC ROM I flashed my device to Shannix Grass rom, a few days later I flashed to Satin Black rom, so far so good. After that I want to flash back to Shannix Grass and my deviced crashed. While booting he stuck at the HTC screen.

I tried to hard reset, flash another rom (stuck and reset at 1%), flash the bootloader (stuck and reset at 7%). After the failed ROM flashing I get error 270 image is corrupted.

In mtty I tried to format the NAND, and tried the erase command, nothing worked.

How can I diagnose the problem further. Is it possible to see why the ROM update failed or why the OS won't boot? I did some monitoring with USB monitor but I didn't get results where I get some conclusions of.

SOLVED !!!!!!!! my phone now works

If your device became inoperable like mine, because i had a failed ROM upgrade,and the device failed to power up i have good news for ya.

MY DEVICE info is as below.

Problem:

Phone does not boot up, and looks like a red brick.

IPL: 1.04

SPL: 2.03

(it always gave an error 206 at 1% of any ROM update i tried)

Solution:

I downloaded the official WM6 ROM from the HTC's website below,

http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html

Then reset my device to the bootloader screen.

(holding the 'ok' button and the 'power' button and then using my stylus to push the 'reset' button close to the USB port.

i then disconnect the USB cable from my phone, and the display showed 'serial'.

i then ran the downloaded file, and waited till the collecting information from phone window came up, then i connected the usb cable back to the phone.

it connected, and VOALLA!!!... it started the update.

at least its better to have a working phone(without all the custom stuff), than none.

I hope this was not booring( with all the detail and all), but i hope it will help anyone out there who's device wont bootup. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] weyun0513:
wow , congraution!

i will take the method. but i wonder should i have to get the "connecting time" in the right point, or the computer can't find my phone??

( hope u know what i mean?:rolleyes:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] roomtek*8525:
Um.... i cant say for sure

Well.. i can't say you should wait 1 or 2 seconds, but just plug it in as soon as you get that screen. i hope it works for you tooo.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] koorosh_bsboys:

My Hermes "red hot brick" happened when i tried upgrading to aCRCs_PHKv12r8, from a Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full ROM.

My device is a Cingulat 8525.

The upgrade went to the tricolor screen, and after 1% , my phone magically went off. I tried powering on, but it went to the tricolor screen again showing

IPL 1.04

SPL 2.03

and underneath showed "serial".

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] C Brown:
I've tried every method thats been released on XDA its quite sad that I have to face that its non recoverable. Soo I will continue to flash radios and the other fixes. I was hoping that I could flash a patched radio like the one thts used in some of the newer unlocker. I may try the kaiser patched radio. Whats the worst can I brick my device again. cause right now f*** it its basically a glorified paper weight
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Wam7:
I am sometimes astonished at how many people don't have HardSPL on there phones and upgrade the ROMS on there phone. (especially not using the MicroSD card method!!!) I highly doubt there will ever be a fix for the type of brick that the OP has.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] :
@Wam7 yes youre right... i put it on my hermes first but then i heard that this will destroy my warranty -.-^^

GUYS! My TYTN is allive again!

After I bricked my Hermes for 2 months ago, I lost my hope to get my TYTN working again so I removed the battery and left my TYTN in a closet for 2 months.

Yesterday I spoke a collegue and he asked me if I flashed the original HTC ROM. So I said no (the original ROM wasn't available at that moment). And I told him that I was looking for another HTC device.

Today, I thought: I am now 2 monts further so give it a try... (Maybe the backup battery is dead?) I downloaded the orignal ROM, which was available, and my TYTN started flashing.

He succeeded after 100% and Windows mobile is now booting again and my device works :D

Right now I am flashing AT&T WM6 latest ROM, my SPL 2.10 Olipro,

I am flashing using SD Card method, I think it is stucking at GSM stage, its been almost an hour now no progress.

What should I do? Wait until the battery drain out.

What happened if the hermes soft resetted while unfinished flashing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] argupas:
I soft resetted, and it stuck at tri color BL, thank God it still say SPL 2.10 Olipro, SD Card method still possible to proceed. I am flashing again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
argupas, if it keeps stopping at 11%( or thereabouts), it means your radio memryis corrupted. At this point I haven't seen ANY posts that can fix this. Try flashing an os only rom then check your radio version. If it works to flash the os only you might have to accept you now have a great PDA but its not a phone anymore... :(

Need of assistance

Phone: AT&T/Cingular 8525 HTC Hermes 100

IPL 1.04

SPL 2.03

No GSM

No O/S

bootloader works and so does KITL mode

Attempting to flash to WM6 ROM from HTC site 3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108

I am new to the forum and have perused many threads. I have learned much as before reading hear I had not heard the terms brick or cooking before. I do have above average pc knowledge but flashing fixes I have never done before. Flashing of pc and phones before always succeeded. But this is a little out of my reach. I am fairly certain that this phone is fixable but I need help in doing it.

My phone has several issues I need repaired but it is a second phone so it's not due or die. It boots to the AT&T logo and then the loud annoying 3G logo but then goes dark. During the flash while it was at 12% the USB connection dropped out and it went through several recoveries but now nothing. The most success I have had is an error message of Bad or Invalid Vendor ID. Most times it comes up as connection errors and the connection drops.

I don't think it's my USB cable cause I have tried 2 or 3 of them.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! IF IT'S EASIER I WILL EMAIL A PHONE NUMBER AND YOU CAN WALK ME THROUGH IT.

I am in a similar boat. My brother-in-law got a junker off of ebay and I repaired the white screen problem for him. Of course, I was instantly hit with the No GSM issue. I thought flashing it with the latest AT&T ROM would be ok, but it freezes whenever it gets to the GSM part of the update. Now it's stuck in bootloader and I'm about to try the PB + KITL method in order to use SSPL to fix the phone. If I can at least get HardSPL on, I should be able to load a rom that doesn't have a GSM part to it and at least restore some functionality, in theory.

solution to no gsm? how do you get a radio rom on a device anyway

Heey folks,

Here's another one. My herm200 has IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10 olipro.

No KITL or whatever. I can put on Schapps rom or that s64. OS works fine! Just "No Gsm" everytime.

Tried to flash several radioroms. Also, no result. It doesn't even go to 1%.

When i put on the official htc rom it's stuck at 12%.

I've tried SD flasing using the .nbh files from the official roms and also just radio roms. They're just stuck at some percentage.

Opened it up, looked at the inside, but I can't find anything wrong.

Read every single item on most website and this forum, but I don't know what's up.

So, how do you get the radio rom on this baby?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scholbert:
Hi,

the same with my device. There's no simple solution if the radio rom really got bricked.

Especially if the radio rom bootloader got corrupt.

If it's gone, there's no communication between wince OS bootloader (IPL&SPL) and radio rom loader.

The only way to fix theses units is to reflash radio rom into the NAND chip of the GSM/GPRS chipset.

This is no easy task, because the JTAG testpoints of the qualcom chip are unknown and there's no software tool available for MSM6275 to give JTAG access.

In other words...

some devices may be a brick forever!

Best regards,

scholbert
