I bought a new card with the adapter, formatted it with FAT32, copied your file to the SD card.
But no reaction after coming into bootloader

What I found out is that I cannot see my 4 GB SD card on my mobile. Have I do something more ?
It says under seetings --> storage card ==> not installed

the 4gb card wont show up on wm5 which is what i assume your device is running on currently, you will need to flash a wm6 rom as cards bigger than 2gb work with them.

if you have not already you should try your other card again as it will be registered with wm5.

Ok, thanks.
I will format my old 2GB card and try again.

After formatting the 2GB SD card and copy your .nbh file to the SD card :
it was starting loading....
after few seconds it appeared on top the number 00068002
then again appeared the bootloader and stopped.

i dont understand why it wouldve stopped this method usually works as far as i know all the time, it does take somewhere in the region of 30mins to complete a rom flash so it will probably take a while to do hard-spl but i dont know of any errors with the method.

ill have a look around the forums for you and see if i can dig up any thing about it.

Thanks a lot.

Ive found a few threads so far one piece of advice i saw is for the kaiser but i figured it should work with the hermes as all other things are the same when flashing using a card.

******Card should be formatted FAT32 and allocation unit size should be 512 bytes.******

Thanks. I used FAT32 but size 4096.
I will try again.

Btw I found another thread :

what do you think about that ?

im just looking at the site now i found this information for the same error code you got with your sd card it is in the hermes forums so is maybe worth a try depends on what you think.

OK here's an update on this situation, what it needed was a hard-reset first. No reason I can think of why this should be so but as soon as I reset it, I was able to upgrade the bootloader via the SD card method the OS rom via an Windows XP PC.

I was hoping not to have to hard reset until I came to upgrade the rom as I wanted to be sure I had a list of all the software to reinstall first but whatever.

So for anyone else having upgrade issues, try a hard reset first.

Now I could update my SPL with the file AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat

IPL --> 1.04
SPL now 2.10.Olipro




My question now :
should I make the same via SD card for the ROM upgrade ?


Edit :
I tried with the cable and it worked
Will see the outcome when it's finished
