Hello.
I have installed a PV Hermes WM 6.1 Rom.
It now says : thank you for using this software...etc
I think it was for betatesters, and now it shows only a splash screen, and i CANNOT install another ROM.


I tried to install by starting in BOOTLOADER, but it does not help.

What can i do???

I think I read somewhere (but have not tried), do a hard reset, and when the screen that says Tap to begin using your device pops up, start attempting to flash from there.

But they "should" flash from the bootloader screen.

I had exactly the same problem. Tried all the tricks to go back to the previous ROM. I also tried boog321's hard reset idea, but it just puts you back into the bootloader. HOWEVER, when I then went through the screen alignment process (just for fun), lo! it works!

The problem is that i can`t get inside windows anymore. It stays at the screen 3 seconds after power up. Is there a way to hardware reset?

Hey. I just re-flashed right now after I installed an expired beta by mistake.

Start with the Hermes connected USB, showing the splash out of luck screen.
1. Hold both Power and the ok button on the left and then RESET with the stylus. It should go in tri-color mode
2. Flash a known good ROM

Good luck!

Bro just flash your ppc using other ROM (flash it in bootloader mode) when its in the hermes rom upgrade tap the (force using safe SSPL) it will do the trick.

I already said i did that.
After 1% it stopped and says : ERROR 270. UPDATE ERRROR: The image file is corrupted please check your update utility.

I have done this with 5 roms now.

Will try microsd install.

I solved the problem with the bad ROM.

I downloaded an official rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

I has done a clean install.

But i still can§t install another rom, from the forum.

Will try again.

Are you sure you have HardSPL installed and CID unlocked your device?
