Unbricking hermes

[loulian]

hi guys
I have a bricked hermes
DOPOD 8525 -> WM 6.1 Professional
From bootloader screen
HERM100 IPL-1.01
bootloader SPL-1,40.01ipro
Tried to flash ROM using safe SSPL with RUUwrapper.
At completion of flash both my mobiler & win mobile device centre disconected or lost connection with device, after soft reset will only load up to second HTC screen. How can I recover from this brick? device manager recognises HTC usb sync when plugged in but I can't connect to re flash rom.

Get to bootloader, press ok and power on left and right respectively and stick stylus in all at same time.

that should bring up tricolour screen.

Download your imate jasjam official ROM

EDIT i think you got a dopod so the dopod ROM is what you want from my 4shared or wiki!!

from the wiki or from my 4shared, and flash it while it is in boot loader mode.

then you need to flash hard spl one of the first stickys on this thread that you have just posted to.

Then flash your desired rom.

loulian, to make it easier to recover from bricks, It would be best if you flashed Hard SPL V7 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722

It won't guarantee a flawless flash but will help if something goes wrong by giving you a GOOD chance of recovery.

You can then use the sd card method and make life easier by not having to worry about pc crashes, cables being pulled, blackouts or those annoying "sync" errros.

Cheers...:D

Also if you have trouble setting up your Hermes after a flash/hard reset because of the alignment points being hard to see, It would be a good idea to download this -

It will, after you save the settings, allow you to use your PC to set up the Alignment point if you need to Hard Reset or flash your phone making it load the os to the today screen.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. I have the same problem, but when i try to flush it from a TriColor mode i get a communication error, it complains about activesynch not connected. BTY mine is cingular 8525 so i am trying to use one of the cingular roms.
