Strange issue with bootloader/firmware?

[akash_84]

Hi all,

I have a Hermes here (MDA version from Tmobile UK)
We know the customer has quite literally "fingered" the unit in all ways possible
At the time, he "claimed" to be a windows mobile developer who invented WM5 - dare I say more? :)

OK so the Hermes is doing the following:

Stuck on Bootloader screen
Herm300
IPL-1.04

Herm300
SPL-2.03

When I do a hard reset via the two soft keys and reset button, the phone boots up with the t-mobile splash with Test Only Not For Sale
Carries on booting, goes through the whole setting up procedure

Then on the reboot, it goes back to bootloader

Now Once I managed to reset and it simply booted in with me using the phone perfectly
The second time I reset, the phone went into a white screen but you could tell it was booting up.

I'm now back in bootloader which refuses to go any further.
Tried running Hard-SPL on it but it can't seem to detect the unit despite it going from Serial to USB

Appreciate any help

On PC (if u use XP), untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync settings. Put Hermes into bootloader and connect to pc.
Install Hard SPL. Hermes WILL be detected by the Installation program.
Then try installing a new OS, now you should have Hard SPL I'd use the sd card method.

1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32.
2. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh.
3 Insert into Hermes and reset to bootloader, follow the instructions....

Should install a new OS and get rid of that "testing only" message.

Cheers...:D
