Should be able to use up to 32Gb SD card (the limit of SDHC). I run an 8Gb sd card in my Hermes and have seen post of people using 16Gb with no probs.

Just remember though that if you wish to use the sd card method to upgrade anything you need a 2Gb or less card as bootloader doesn't recognise SDHC cards.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DanJef:
Thanks for the info. Now i can look for a bigger SD-card.

I will keep the 2 GB for upgrading.

Can i flash a rom the same way as Hard-SPL? I'm working with vista and the wonderfull :rolleyes: Mobile Device Center wich doesn't work. While flashing it says "no usb connection".

Edit: I found the answer here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295735. It also works for radio etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Scotty93:
yep it sure does, nice to see people searching the forums etc for answers.

Have fun :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Just a addition to the thread you supplied...

If you have Hard SPL V7 installed, DON'T use SSPL.exe. SSPL = Soft SPL.

You already have Hard SPL installed. SSPL isn't as safe.

(I know theres this information later in the posts but if people are too keen to do this, they tend to brick their Hermes)

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DanJef:
Thanks for the warning. Is saw in other threads that it is possible to go manual into bootloader and then you can flash any rom. I tried one but i think it was a rom for the kaiser, so now i'm searching for a dutch mw 6.1 rom for the hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GrandAdmiral:
Ok question...

Is there much difference between the HERM200 and the HERM100 (which I have)? I have been trying to get HardSPL v7 flashed for the longest and I can't get it done to save my life. I'm stuck on 1.4, but can't get v7 on. I followed these steps and still no luck.

Any other ideas? Much appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Go to page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread, it has the steps using the sd card and not using the PC. No sync probs that way.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GrandAdmiral:
Went there... tried it... didn't work. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
What size card - MUST be 2Gb or less, MUST be formatted FAT32 and must be renamed hermimg.nbh .

If any of these are wrong, IT WON'T WORK....

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GrandAdmiral:
Tried both a 2GB and a 512MB with no luck on either. Cards were always formatted (not a quick format) to FAT32. I always renamed the file HERMIMG.nbh instead of hermimg.nbh. Does that make a difference?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Scotty93:
i dont think it makes a difference with captial letters or not, there is a bit in this thread about formatting the sd card you should check that and see if it is the same as when you are formatting it.

Good Luck :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
You using the PC to format or an app on the Hermes? There was a bit of trouble with using the Hermes to format the sd card.

Just checkin, you go to bootloader after inserting the sd card, hold power, OK button above the flywheel and reset with stylus? Had people doing hard resets at one point because they didn't know the difference.

Ass you're trying to get Hard SPL on, are you running the SSPL.exe file from the Hermes or the sd card? It has to be transfered to the Hermes and ran from there, NOT the sd card, found this out the hard way too...

And it doesn't matter what case you use to rename, but MUST be hermimg.nbh, had a couple of people name it herming.nbh, WON'T work with any spelling mistakes...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GrandAdmiral:
1. SSPL.exe is on the phone.

2. Don't do a hard reset. Bootloader (tri-color screen) loads but then hangs. One time I let it sit for over an hour with no response.

I've been able to flash everything but this. Should I be flashing in progression? Currently I have 1.40 in the bootloader. Is there a version before v7 that I should try flashing first?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Did you run sspl.exe? It is an app...

Try this if you have XP on a PC - Untick "allow USB connections" on activesync on the PC. Put the Hermes into bootloader and attach to PC via USB. Run RUU_Wrapper.exe for Hard SPL. This may kickstart the flashing process if you can't get into the today screen to run sspl.exe.

Cheers....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GrandAdmiral:
Yeah. I ran the SSPL.exe with no luck.

I'm on Vista. I tried finding info on the ROM guide, but didn't see anything.

******EDIT******

I got it to work. The problem was in the I was formatting the SD card. I was telling the computer to format it as FAT with a file allocation of 32kb instead of telling it to format as FAT32 with an allocation of 4097 (or 4067 can't remember). All is well now.

Thanks, ultramag.

Flashing a Hermes 200

I am running a 64 bit Win 7 PC and a Hermes 200, with Win 6, which I wish to upgrade. I have used the Easy Hard-Spl v7 and the Hermes bootloader is showing an IPL 0f 1.04 and a SPL of 2.10 olipro. I have not flashed the ROM before and I wish to be safer than sorrier having bricked the Hermes.

I have the HTC_TyTN)WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe file which I wish to flash to the Hermes. I have renamed this file as a .zip file and extracted 8 files including RUU_Inside.exe (55,490kb). Again, I renamed this file as a .zip file and extracted another 8 files icluding RUU_signed.nbh (93,566kb). I am assuming that this is the file I need to flash.

To flash the Hermes ROM, I need to do:

1. have a 2Gb non-SHDC microSD card formatted to FAT32

2. rename RUU_signed.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy this file to the root folder of the SD card

3. insert the SD card into the Hermes and start the bootloader

4. comfirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button

5. wait about 30 minutes

6. once flashing is confirmed as complete, do a soft reset

I am hoping that somebody that knows more than me, which is all of you, will confirm that my sequence of actions is correct or else point out my errors.

Many thanks for your help and advice,

Crag345
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Hakim Rahman:
all the steps you describe in flash the rom via SD-Card is correct ! so you have no doubt and fear of mistakes that lead to the brick, I'd suggest you just read and follow the tutorial on the WIKI
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sasovics:
Hi friends,

Among others I cooked in Topaz USBToPCPopUp OEM package (from 1.39 Topaz ship rom) into my new cooked ROM based on BS 1.56 base and 21042 SYS.

My problem is the well known bug when connecting the phone to USB and selecting Internet Sharing in the pop-up dialog. It is complaining about IntShr.exe not being found. I am wondering why is this happening, since the exe for the internet sharing application should be IntShrUI.exe and not IntShr.exe. This IntShr.exe does not exist in neither of my packages (OEM, SYS or even XIP) and there's no mentioning of this file in the rgu's besides the one for assigning HTC custom icons. Seems like a bug even in the Topaz original ROM ? Any solution to this (besides replacing this package with the older BS one) ?

Thanks for your advices in advance!

Cheers,

sasovics

The HKLM\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM registry key has to be deleted (BS doesn't use Widcomm drivers anyway), then it will work like a charm.

I used to browse the web using my device when connected to my PC with internet.

Then, don't know what setting I changed, now I am not able to use the internet of my PC for my device.

Before, I simply just plug the USB, start activsync and the internet worked.

Some settings for Internet Sharing or something?

Thanks

[G1 General] zgmf-x322a:
is that really HERO? is HERO also aka G3?
[G1 General] ma3a20:
I think the Hero is the G3. This may be the G1 redone. This one doesn't have the keyboard so it can't be the second G1; that means the title is wrong too :D
[G1 General] lbcoder:
There is no G3. There is not G2. G1 is just tmobile nonsense and means nothing. Dream is dream, magic is magic, and hero is hero.
[G1 General] ma3a20:
I think it might actually. I thought the 'G' referred to the Google branding, or a device which qualifies for the Google logo on it. Therefore the 'G1' was the first phone to have the Google logo on it. 'G2' was the Magic, which also has the Google logo on it. I think that is the logic behind it.
[G1 General] Dantehman:
2nd'd

thst or its an HTC jobbie as i highly doubt Tmobile will supply us with several colors :D:D:D:D
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You are wrong. "G1" is just a carrier-assigned (tmobile) trick to make dumb people think that the carrier is somehow the manufacturer.

There is no doubt that the device is actually "htc dream" and NOTHING MORE: http://www.htc.com/www/product/dream/overview.html

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] gillesie:
Hi all,

I have been reading through the variety of posts and videos. There is quite some info about soft and hard SPL, RUU, etc... A full 4h of reading and I still feel like I'm nowhere.

I find it hard to filter out the steps I need to undertake for a noob like me to flash my device.

The situation is as follows: Recently I won a P5500 16-keys French device which is branded (Belgian operator). I Want it unbranded with a regular dutch ROM 16-key flashed on it (I don't need any special "cooked" ROMS), I'll be glad enough when I get rid of this French. I'm not sure what steps I need to undertake to reach this and I certainly don't want to risk bricking it. So the fastest, safest way without unnecessary steps is what I look for :)

I found this ROM: Nike_Original_NLD_ROM_v1.31.404.09.exe

Am I correct if I say I need to first CID unlock my device and then just install this ROM by just running it when activesync is active? What CID unlock tool do I need, I tried some Kaiser program but that failed (by device froze).

Other info I can provide is this info that shows up when booting the device:

R 1.58.16.27

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Wezternator:
First of all you need to HardSPL your device, this will almost prevent you from bricking it, follow the instructions here

Second you need to CID unlock the device, this will allow you to flash ROMs from other than the network operators own use THIS and follow the instructions. This will also SIM unlock the device, so you can use any SIM card in it.

After that connect your phone to the PC via active Sync can run the Nike_Original_NLD_ROM_v1.31.404.09.exe follow the instructions onscreen.

THIS WILL DELETE ANY DATA STORED ON THE PHONE MEMORY. Storage cards and SIM cards are not effected.

lastly, the 'R 1.58.16.27' at boot is the Radio version on the phone, this is the low level driver/s that control the cellular radio, camera etc.because you are installing and original 'stock' ROM there should not be any need to update or change this. (1.58.16.27 is the latest official radio release from HTC for the NIKI100 other are either cooked for taken from other, similar devices)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringman:
Hi all.

Thinking of getting either a HTC TD2 or a HTC touch HD

the general feeling is that the td2 is the one to go for (i am sure that apart from the screen size the td2 is better)

As i have to ditch orange (they have just stopped the htc thd) I thought i might get a data bundle.

Is it possible to get a data bundle and then use the phone as a modem for my laptop (thus saving having to buy a dongle)?

also, sorry about this, but can you confirm if either the thd or td2 will work with tomtom6.

If not i presume i have to buy both tt7 and a whole raft of maps.

Any other advice for a newbie potential owner is appreciated

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinVerdegaal:
Use the TD2 as a modem:

- Connect laptop and TD2 by pairing with BlueTooth or using a USB cable.

- On the TD2, run the wm6 default program Internet Connection Sharing and choose either BT or USB

- On your laptop, right click the BT systray icon and connect to PAN network
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stringman:
Thanks for the prompt reply

sorry for being thick but i dont think i Have a BT systray

so long as its possible thats ok

all i need to do now is choose which phone and find the best place to buy one

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Better to plug your phone into the laptop using USB, that way the laptop keeps the phone powered while you're surfing.

When you plug the phone in, it will ask you if you want Antivesync, Data Drive or Connection Sharing. Just select Connection Sharing and all will be doodly.

TT6 doesn't work - you need TT7 (7.910 or 7.915) and yes you have to re-purchase all your maps. Also, the TD2 is not supported by Tomtom which means you cannot use any services such as Traffic so you'll have to disable them.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Yes you can if you don't use TF3D. In the normal today screen, you can install a plugin called TodayAgenda (google for it) and that allows you to display and edit your Todo list. It's fantastic!

Unfortunately TF3D is not customizable except to remove or reorder its tabs. It does not work with Today screen plugins.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] marjon:
Thanks Jim

I knew I could display them without TF3D as I currently have PocketBreeze on my today screen of my current phone but really like the TF3D interface so I dont have to keep pulling out the stylus to do day to day stuff with the phone.

Are the ToDo's viewable from any of the tabs?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diomondus:
Please tell me how can you reorder the tabs.

I've been looking for this option and I haven't found anything yet.

Go to Settings, and click on Customize Tabs.

You can then untick ones you do not want to appear, and drag others into the order you want.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diomondus:
Thank you!

I've already solved this problem.

When you go to "Customize Tabs" there is a text on top of the page: "Drag Items to rearrange".

I must be blind but I didn't see that. The text is as big as my head but I didn't see it. :)

That's what's happening when the interface is too user friendly :)
