Hello,

i am trying to install a the old WM 6.0 on my O2 XDA because the Hermes does not start every time i turn it on. The Problem is that the install stops at 12 %. After five our six trails the install rans through this point and completes the install. But this WM 6.0 has the problem that it will not boot every time, the phone-functions does not work every time and so on. So i tried to reinstall the OS and now i'm standing on 12 %.

The WM 6.0 install comes directly from O2.

Here the dates out of my bootloader:
HERM100
IPL-1.04

HERM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro

Sorry if my question is a little bit stupid. But my english is very bad (as you can see :( ) and so i can't find an answer.

Can someone help me?

Try to reinstall the shiiped carrier rom. The rom it originally came with.
Do this using the sd card method. Its safer, especially if you are flashing a radio rom.

Check for bad blocks. This could cause the original symptoms you said. Look in the upgrading ection for instructions...

Cheers...:D

Thanks for the infos, but i have phoned with O2 today. They will repair or exchange my device.

No my question is if i am allowed to change the bootloader to "SPL-2.10.Olipro" because i have done that :D
Or should i try to downgrade to an older version? Do you know which version was first on the device?

Thanks

If you're trying for a warranty service then it would be best to downgrade spl. However, you may not be able to....
Search the wiki for instructions, they are there...

Cheers...:D

Hmm damn, do you think they won't exchange the pda with the changed bootloader?

As you remarked it semms to be hard work to replace the bootloader by an old version.

There is a chance they MAY charge you for repairs or replacement. This can be VERY ouchy....Lotsa $$$.

Perhaps i should ask the hotline if it's okay or not. Even better than paying bills for sending in an bricked Hermes.

NOT OK... Changing the SPL on your Hermes is instant void warranty. You need to change it back.

Hey!

Now i have tried to downgrade to 1.10 Olipro, have installed a WM 6 Rom from HTC but nothing happend. The device works for the moment, but i am sure that the device will break down the next days again.

Any other idea how to downgrade to SPL 1.11? I am running out of time :(
