Your posts are not very useful for ROM troubleshooting or future development. A few others have had similar issues with hangs / hard resets. Some have resolved them... did you read the full thread? If not, you should do so. Follow the flashing procedure advised by Dr P and others, use MTTY if necessary. Consider providing more detail regarding the issue you're experiencing. Otherwise you're likely to get very little help.

Consider adding the following details and then someone (smarter than me) might be able to give you some tips. What ROM version are you running? Under what circumstances does it hang... and when you say hang what exactly does that mean? Did you restore from a backup after the flash? Only two programs installed... no operator settings or other configurations? What ROM were you running prior to the flash, OEM, Big Storage, other? What flash method did you use? What radio are you using? Did you check for bad blocks first, or since the hard resets?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Enoshima:
Call Firewall??

I noticed Call Firewall Ver 1.1. It doesnt say anywhere on your list of programs that its on the Rom. I wanted to to use the updated version of that program that has SMS blocking on it. Any way it could be changed on the ROM itself to the current version, or taken off?

Other than that, this rom is great. No problems so far. Been using it for a few days so far. Thanks for the time and effort put into it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nikmh:
same with me... its hang, cant click else where but to hard reset..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
And have you guys flashed an official ROM first? I'm not sure about the other "official" ROMs but the AT&T 6.0 works for most of us here. Of course it IS a PIA to then HardSPL, flash the latest ROM and possibly (probably) downgrade the radio.... but it's what I do and I haven't had a hard reset or freeze in seems like forever....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kasual:
Use the SD card method of flashing. It seems to be safer and you don't mess with USB cables. There is a very nice tutorial here. --> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing

Tkx man. I really love this ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] friscoltu959:
waiting a long time for this rom.

Many thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
This problem has been really frequent since 6.1 came out. It has also been reported on quite a few 6.1 ROMs. It is fixable though. Use mtty to search for bad blocks (see Wiki if you don't know how) and fix them. Then flash a official ROM. After that boots up, connect Activesync and flash this ROM again. Should fix you right up.

Touch Dual dialer

Next time, could you please cook in Touch Dual dialer, which is awesome and very useful, but additional instalation to system slow down its performance:(

You ROM is very good cooked, and I think, that from WM6.1 dev it is the best for now... (tested Pays, Shadow etc.). Thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RanDomIze:
Fantastic ROM

Fantastic ROM.

Fast and Stable, so far not had any problems.

Now I will wait for the Clean Version, to test only With my favorite applications.

Regards faria
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] elivne:
for those that had the sleep of death, turn off the SD power management, it's in schaps tool in settings.

I had random freezes, something I didn't have in the previous FERIA, i`ll test again with the clear ROM - maybe it was a collision with one of the new apps installed in this ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I just don't get why it only happens with this ROM but I will try that when I get home from work tonight..I can't even reset the phone now without it getting stuck at the first boot screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] elivne:
read my post above yours...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
It just locked up on me in the settings screen changing my today items and hard reset so I'll try that. Hopefully I make it that far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] greatbal:
maybe just a coincidence. If you read through all the WM6.1 threads, no rom was spared by this Random Freeze/Hard Reset experienced by some users. I've been flashing my Hermes since November last year, and i got my "first experience" with Faria/DrP Wm6.1 rom. I did the mtty thingy, and got my Hermes back to working condition. Just give it a try. Good luck. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Welp I'm pretty much done for the day it just froze and hard reset while I was installing MS VC1.6 and I can't do anything USB wise at work :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] greatbal:
try flashing again, taking note of the suggestions on the previous pages.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sutheep:
There seems to be a delay when accessing the files in the SD. Sometimes multiple delay, like it will show 3 files, pause, show 4 more pause.. then shows all files listed in the folder. Anyone experiencing this?

Faria/Dr. HTC Splash animation is beautiful.

m.youtube.com

hi steven/jose, could u recommend a working version of htc streaming media with this rom? tried many available out there with no luck. none succeed opening m.youtube.com. found shamanix version work well with wm6, but cannot make it work with your rom.

great rom btw, 3g dialer seems to work well. just the way i need it. thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Someone probably will. Very few carriers (none I know of) release as few ROMs as MY carrier (Orange UK). Some carrier will want to retain it's customers more than Orange have failed to (I'm not renewing) and release it. Maybe HTC will release their own, 'neutral' version of Hermes 6.1 first but not necessarily.

A lot of the cooked ROMs we download and use are based on leaked, pre-release official ROMs. Official versions turn up eventually - although it'll probably not be worth using as the better chefs on here will have tweaked out a lot of the problems and optimised it before the official version ever appears without those improvements.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jdel:
Hi Faria and Dr. P.

I've been waiting for your new ROM for a while now, as the last one I had some issues with. I really like this ROM. It seems very responsive and had no problems with speed or SD Card access. You included software is also a good selection. If I have time I'll also flash your lite version. Many thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikehippe:
My appointments are syncing, but events such as holidays are not syncing. This is the only ROM that I have had this issue with. I've checked all the WMDC settings and everything is corrrect. Is this a known issue with the ROM?

1st Time!

Well i am about to try this rom out hope it is a bit better then pays...

Great News!

This rom is really good. Fast and Stable!

Need Help on some things

1. I need to make the Keyboard layout for 8525 and the advance config does not have it in it.

2. For the texting part i love the way 6.1 is set up but the msg box is to big so is there away to make it smaller?

3. My connections are not set up right i need to set it up to the AT&T network who would i go about this?

Please Respond ASAP

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Enoshima:
Look under the advanced config and use the Cingular keyboard setting.

Now if I can only remove the Call Firewall so I can update it to a newer version, i'll be all set. Liking this ROM very much so far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LlamaLord:
Yes i just update to it today and i am loving it. the Phone dailer pad can be fixed up a little but over all its great.

One thing in the Advance config its not there!

Also how do set it up to the at&t network i can make called and everything but cant send MMS or get online cuz the connection is not set up right!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vactor:
well, this rom is completely unworkable for me. at least once a day the unit freezes. when i do a soft reset, it automatically hard resets itself on bootup and i lose everything and have to run the whole setup again. reinstalled the rom, and yet again, once a day it freezes. i have installed NOTHING other than Google Maps and opera mini. this is terrible.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Azimuth21:
vactor, this issue has been brought up many times. Try flashing the official AT&T ROM, then reflash this ROM. It's an error with the extended rom area or something like that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] svauz:
good morning!!!

with the faria r32 clean version

i've installed pocketcm and following the instructions i've changed in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS

in today if i push the contacts button opens the default pim contact manager but if i push the c. button from the program folder it starts pocketcm...:confused::confused: whyy????

thanks!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Shortstring cab will set the keyboard for Cingular. Shogun_cing is a cab that Shogunmark made for installing the AT&T settings. And the JUVS Network Wizard is a pretty nice file that was lifted from the Kaiser.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] danik_iceman:
Hello guys,

I've got a question about dialer. Well, after I installed a differrent dialer it seems that I lost some functionality. Before I used to get the selected contact in the dialer to show BOTH contact NAME and NUMBER, but now whenever I select a contact I can only see the contact name, and to see the phone number I actually have to double tap on that contact name and it brings me the new contacts window.

So, is there a way to get it working as it was working before with the new dialer? Or does it really depend on the version of dialer you have?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walletless:
Hello,

I am on the AT&T network in USA, and I keep getting the message that "You have one or more voice messages". However, I do not have any messages.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Walletless
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Two options....

(1) Call AT&T and have them reset your mailbox, which means that you'll have to recreate your greetings.... :mad:

(2) Call your device from a landline and leave yourself a message. After you delete your message you SHOULD be OK (always works for me ;) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walletless:
Thanks Dr. Option (2) worked for me!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] naveen:
thank you for the files. i did not know that it was recommended to flash att rom and then yours. i will be flashing tonight right after work. i guess i will be doing two flashes in one day!!!:D

Desperate - Bricked while flashing Rom Help!!

Hi Everyone,

I've already spent 8 hours trying to resolve this.

During the ROM update process, it crashed for some reason.

Was stuck on bootloader. Now it seems to be stuck on the HTC splashscreen.

I have tried to reinstall T-Mobile UK rom, change radios and tried other ROMs but to no avail.

Even tried to flash from SD a few times but errors come up. [270]; [294]

Amazing how much my life depends on this working, so could anyone help?

Bootloader shows: HERM300 SPL-2.03 IPL-1.04

I have read all the wikis and threads on these issues (some say a fix isn't possible) and i can't send it back to T-mobile so i really need your help.

Thanks!

Jason.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Azimuth21:
Jason, I know this is a dumb question, but you've tried to flash it while it was in bootloader mode, right? As long as the phone is able to turn on into that state, you should be able to flash a ROM to it. I think we need to know more info.

However, this is JUST IN CASE you haven't tried this before... I see you've lurked for 2 years. Haha. Anyway, first of all, do a battery reset (take out all source of energy for the phone like battery or a/c plug, for at least a minute). Then stick the battery back in, load up the Hermes in bootloader (power and ok button, then tap soft reset port), connect it to PC, and run RUU like normal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Still very DESPERATE to get my "life" working again - sad eh??

Hi Azimuth21,

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have tried to flash from bootloader many roms but will use the T-Mobile one as an example:

- I go into bootloader

- I run rom upgrade utility: ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3

- Connect the USB & followed prompts

- Screen on PPC goes grey and both screens show progress of 1%

- Screen on PPC goes black (looks like i've reset it)

- Error msg: ERROR [270] : Update Error "The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility."

- Screen on PPC now shows HTC Splashscreen and doesn't move from there.

I've flash many roms before this one and never had any trouble at all, so yes, i have tried to remove battery and power (overnight) but no success.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks!

Jason
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Azimuth21:
Try this Update Utility

If I recall, there was some issue with the included RUU with Custom Edition ROM. I'm unsure if Faria/DrP ever reuploaded.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Thanks again for your help:

Thanks Azimuth!

I tried that and got back to 1% where the screen went blank and reset to the HTC splashscreen with the following error message: Error [270]: Update Error - This image file is corrupted. please check your update utility.

The rom i used is: HERM_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_CustomRUU

Looks like i've really killed it!

J.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Friend, it's telling you that the file you downloaded is corrupted. Delete your Internet Explorer (or whatever you use to get on the Internet) cache (temporary internet files) and redownload.

If you continue to have issues getting a working copy of that ROM, the WIKI has the original ROM's that you can pick and choose from. I would personally try the official AT&T 3.62, it's worked evry single time for me (probably 10 times I've saved a Hermes this way...)

The official AT&T has a file called ROM_Inside (or something like that) that communicates directly with your PDA when in bootloader mode, works like magic (at least for me ;) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binky11:
This don't have to be!

I had it with an Elf... Have you SIM and CID already?

If not, do that...and you'll see it work ;-):D:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Hi Steven,

Thank you so much for the tip.

I did all you said and tried to install this RUU and the same thing happened.

Got to 1% - PPC reset and is now on HTC splashscreen.

This time i get a new message: ERROR [294]: Invalid Vender ID - This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please Check your update utility.

TND3-HFTP756-CXUbc568-HFTP556

Any advice besides letting it RIP?

J.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Thanks Binky!

Just wondering if it's possible to use your suggestion (which i've tried already without success) if I can only see the following screens:

1. Bootloader (colured screen)

2. HTC Splash screen (just the logo and writing on the bottom in red)

I'm not able to get it to sync with activesync.

Thanks.

Jason.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
My bad, after looking further into error 270 it would seem that it's not a "corrupted" file but the wrong bootloader for the ROM.

Jason, I'd follow binky11's advise, definately seems related to not being unlocked.

I'm handing this over to you binky11 if you don't mind! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Thanks Steven,

I've now tried RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe.

Unfortunately it now gets to 7% where the PPC shuts down and the message i get with this is:

Error [270]: Update Error - The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.

I've heard that my only option may be to JTAG flash it. (but i'm not doing this myself..hehe)

Thanks!

J.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binky11:
Can you get manually in the bootloader?

Pressing the OK and the On/Off button at the same time, and then soft-reset
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Hi Binky,

Yes - i can do that fine.

Am following instructions now to try and follow the instructions below for SD card flash but cannot locate the HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh file.

(feeling really dumb i did this!)

If you don't have a Windows XP computer you can also update using the SD-Card Method:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe

2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe

3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer

or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).

4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.

5. Insert microSD card on your phone

6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it

7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binky11:
Please try this:

Take the battery out.

Wait for 15 minutes (REALLY 15 minutes)

Enter the Bootloader (tricolor screen)

Connect to PC

Wait till it says: New Hardware found (and on your Hermes 'USB')

Startup the CID unlocking tool ;-)

Gr. Binky11
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
I will give this a try.

Am i right in saying that i need to tick: "Allow USB Connections" in Activesync?

J.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binky11:
Where?...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
It's in Activesync>Connection Settings

Just ran the following: AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat

HTC is recongised in the Devices Manager: Windows CE USB devices - but Activesync does not work.

Nothing shows up on screen other than the tricolour with "USB"

Thanks for being patient and i get the feeling we are getting closer....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binky11:
Can you try to upgrade with any ROM? mine maybe?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
Binky,

Looks like a great rom but unfortunately it got to 1% and reset again with the following message:

ERROR [270]: Update Error - The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

I'm getting pretty good at these error codes don't u think?

Looks like the nasty JTAG is the way to go.

Thanks Binky for trying.

Jason.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dioxda2:
Hey ~~~ ^_^

Since you have so many connection error codes and Vendor error code......

why didn't you make a hardSPL ( you can find in my step by step guide) ??

That make things better ~ ^_^

Good Luck ~~ ^_^

:D:D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jason.choy:
I'm really not sure what's wrong but the same thing happened.

I got to 1% and reset again with the following message:

ERROR [270]: Update Error - The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

Any ideas left??

Thanks for the suggestion though! - i'm willing to try anything.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] isaacfinnegan:
I keep coming back to this rom, as it's the fastest and most stable so far for me. I'm using the clean rom, but I'm having a problem as the /Windows/taskmgr.exe is missing. I believe this is a WinMo 6.1 exe that replaces the functionality in the 'Memory' settings panel of listing running apps. So now I need an app that will let me see the running apps to be able to shut them down. I don't WANT to run the HTC Task Manager, as it's been slowing down my phone in the past. Anyone post a copy of the taskmgr.exe file? Not sure why it was removed from the clean rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] st3v3:
Just moved to this after going from 6.1 to 6 and back to 6.1 cause i missed some of the features.

Hello,

I'm new to this stuff, and have a question... I upgraded from WM5 to WM6.1 with this ROM today, and was wondering why when I type, my keypad doesn't correspond to what I want? The symbols are out of place... Circle E gives me ? instead of @, etc. Is there anyway I can fix this issue? I am using a Cingular 8525 or what is now AT&T eh. Thanks in advance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] naveen:
which wm 5 rom did you have. many have stated that you need to flash from generic att rom to this rom for correct keyboard layout.

Then maybe with almost every other post in this thread telling us how its hard resetting or worse will help you see.

Glad you work for a major corporation though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Please count and post the number of people that had hard resets that had flashed the official AT&T 3.62 ROM & HardSPL7 before flashing, when convenient. (Actually, don't as I don't care)

In the meantime, everyone please chill. Faria and I realy don't give a rat's a$$, no kidding. We're doing a service, you don't like the service then that's fine by us :cool:

And, once again, after trying all the other ROM's posted, I am back with the Faria Clean ROM... works for me! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bartybet:
I did. And its still hard reset with these 6.1's. That and they have no ram in them to start.

Actually. I stand corrected. "19202 PDAVIET". Havent had a hard reset with this one yet. Just no ram in it.
