Yup, first time disaster. I followed the guide here, installed the necessary Cert_SPCS.cab/EnableRapi.cab files, rebooted, and then started the Shelltool update...only to belatedly notice a notification screen on my 8125 asking if I wanted to run one of the programs.
I said yes, but even though the update completed, my 8125 is stuck at the boot screen.
Worse, I reset the 8125 into boot loader mode and tried to flash back, only to get a 300 error. I tried to use an updated RUU and ROM set, only to get 264 or 274 errors.
Any hope here, or did I just manage to brick my 8125?
Are you trying to flash an offical rom while in bootloader mode?
Yup. Tried to flash the official 8125 ROM from HTC. Tried to flash a number of different ROMs, actually - I always get a 264 or 274 "Communication" error, except for the official ROMs, which gave me a 300 error.
Not looking good here...

Been there, done that. In fact, that was the thread I first read. I've tried to flash to Wizard_love, but I get a 264 error.
From what I've read in the RUU Docs, a 264/274 error is rare, and fatal in this case. It's not looking good...
(On the bright side, the iPhone release has created a flood of used 8125's on eBay )
I did a little searching for you,

I read some were how to flash a phone that has errors, I couldn't find that post. Maybe someone else here knows of that post You didn't mention is your phone G3 or G4 I did find this post, doesn't look good. I hope someone has a better answer for you, good luck.

Thanks for the links, unfortunately it's still a no-joy situation here.
This is a G4 Cingular 8125 - sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
ActiveSync was set to allow USB connections, and I've tried using the official RUU update utility from HTC for the Cingular 8125 with the 8125 in Bootloader (3 color) mode - I get an error 274.
I then tried the Wizard_Love version - error 264.
Next, the MB WM6 ROM - error 300.
Finally, in desperation I try the Shelltool app method again, even though I can't copy over the necessary bootloaders. It hangs up mid-flash, as expected.
Can't go forward, can't go back. Looks like I've got myself a brick...sigh...
upd: ahh, it is g4.....
so ignore whats below
it IS NOT brick ,trust me i had exactly same prob while testing cooked ROM - all yyou need is to download chinese rescue ROM, THEN flash it by its RUU, then RUU wLOVE, then flash ..anythin(g3)...and then flash IPLSPL, as it will be unequal, usually.
its unclear, why RUU cant do flash sometimes, but i believe, that you do not have brick( i had same situation 3 times = 14 flashes..;/ but machine is alive !)
of course, you may have same errors with chinese..if connecting, reconnecting etc is not working, then...use any rescue ROM closest to original, old hogs. check your firewall, and remember - SR device before EACH try - oterwise you surely will have 300 error - 1 try for each reset, no more.
chinese rescue ROM(you MUST flash wlove after that 1), or shelltool will lead you to...3bars.;/

maybe other...
wizard love rescue ROM:

Just a "happy ending" update:
Was just about to buy a new 8125 on eBay, when I gave it another try - hard reset the device twice in a row, then tried again to flash back to the original Cingular 8125 ROM -- it worked!
Then, in a fit of flashing madness, I went ahead and flashed one of Faria's latest WM6 sets -- and it worked as well!
So, not only don't I have brick, I actually got it upgraded. Whew...

If only we were all so rich... When I first started, I downloaded a WM6 Rom I found on this forum but read nothing... Tried to flash it, phone went to bootloader immediately afterwards and would do nothing else. I called T-Mobile and they sent me to the place on T-Mobile.com where I could get the official Rom download and was able to restore my MDA to life again but not until I had read about 20 different threads, did I attempt it again.
Thats the problem with some people here. They don't read and just assume that because they're a Software Dev that they automatically know everything or think that because they're pretty computer savvy that they know what they're doing or think that because they had their device for a few months that they're automatically an expert... It's annoying to tell you the truth because the only real way to learn is through a lot of reading, or trial and error and thats how everyone here has to learn.
I read this forum for a few MONTHS before I flashed my device, and I'm glad I did. Not only do you have to READ the information, but you also have give it time to SINK IN so that it is fully understood.
There are some people who automatically cry out for help without expending any effort (NOOBE needs help! give me a link, fix this, WAA WAA). And then there are the ones who make this a great forum, they READ READ and REREAD, TEST and RETEST and generally provide knowledge, information and assistance.
All of us are riding on the backs of the mostly unsung developers Like Faria, Bepe and all the others.

Why the hell do you want Underground????!!!!!!!!
It's old, unstable and has soooo many bugs that have all been resolved in recent ROMs. Have you just had the forum on pda view then jumped at the first WM6 ROM post from the early days?
I'm not interested with the Underground WM6 but when MB_WM6 did not work, i thought of trying that.
I have a question here, i tried installing MB_WM6 and it stopped at 95%, later i tried to install Faria's kitchen ROM and it was successful. I tried unlocking the CID with lokowiz03. Do u people still feel that my phone is still CID locked.

Download WST tool and run it,it'll give all the info about your phone to determine the present status of your phone,only than it can be confirmed if it's cid locked or unlocked.
btw,faria's kitchen is for cooking the custom rom according to your own needs,it contains the Base Rom,OEM,RUU... and tools to build a rom.Did you cook your own Rom and flashed ?

Well said my friend... This is is how it should be. I think there should be a rule that have to be a member for so many weeks before you can even post and access download links on the forum... This should give you time to read before you make a mistake and brick your phone...
Thanks....i will surely search for WST tool. If u could post the link of the WST tool that will be of great help.

do a soft reset of your phone , tap with stylus the soft reset button on the phone.the phone will reboot,see if it changes the spl,otherwise flash button's rom 1.05 a couple of more times and then do the soft reset,hope it'll change

To perform a soft reset,use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the left side of your device,it's a small hole type just underneath Infrared port,you just can't miss it,ok

Hi!
I am new to this, can someone help me how to update HTC P4350(HERALD)? And from where I can download the files for updating it.. Please help
Hi, I'm also kinda new to this, but I'll try to help you.
Connect your herald to your computer and open ActiveSync, then run the program and follow the instructions
Download this file :
http://www.2shared.com/file/3727387/b4e9df29/Ko_HTC_HOME.html
Sorry for my bad english.
One good way is looking at the Open Touch 6.5 thread. The first post shows basically all the info you need in order to "mod" your Wing/Herald. Plus, in my opinion, Open touch 6.5 with no spb is the best ROM and the one I'm using now until ivan makes his amazing awesome ROM .
And as for programs look for s2u2 (Slide to unlock 2) and s2v (Slide to View) .
just upgrated!
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1961488&postcount=123
it is very simple to upgrade. Follow the instructions.
I've used wm6.1 - CE 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.ASerg)
I had wm5 before with glitches and sticking.
It's a big difference! Very good assembly.You can try it.
P4350 i cant star my phone anymore
Firstly i was trying to update from 6.0 to 6.1 but i didnt manage it.. after several times i decided to update to TylerC161 Wing Kit... and so on and on.
So when deviced was instaling i touched the screen and i guess becouse of it i damaged the rom.
What can i do now?
Now i have just HTC shining on my screenand nothing heppends..
If im trying to run rom from bootloader on 3 % i have an error 270 becouse and i think it is becouse of CID locked, my phone came from Turkey and its ritten on him Turkcell..
What can i do ?

1. This post is in the wrong forum. It is not a development related thread.
2. You hijacked a thread. Please always start a new thread or find one that deals with the issues you're having.
3. The answers have been already discussed many times. If you follow the guides of ANY ROM, they refer to HardSPL. Search for "Herald HardSPL" to find out how to HardSPL your phone (MAKE SURE your Herald has a SPL at least at 4.0 if you do.)
I'm closing this thread now since it's old.

Oh, you free lance moderators and your worthwhile posts that contribute to the forums so much. The best way to build your post count is to respond with "search before asking!" in every new thread.
Anyway, yeah, a hardSPL is useless if we don't have an RUU. It's supposedly confirmed (according to a Sprint employee... who knows) that WM 6.5 WILL come to this device, so if/when that happens, we've got our RUU.
Good to hear. Thanks for the info to0

@ everyone: I need a RUU bcoz I want to flash some patched radio to try some things, thats all. I have SPL MFG and other stuff
here is the RUU that you can extract out of the 1.04 update from sprint.
I think we have to make things a bit clearer:
1) You CAN flash your device with any localized rom WITHOUT having to hard-spl it (ROM must be signed). HardSPL is only needed to upgrade the radio part (and to block dangerous IPL/SPL upgrades too, obviously) and flashing unsigned cooked roms.
2) You prolly CAN flash your device without CustomRUU. Generally speaking all devices made by HTC can be flashed from the SD simply putting a .nbh file with the proper name for the device in the root dir of the SD expansion card. Then, pushing a combination of buttons, you can start the flash process.
For the HTC Panther (the codename of the TP), we can only guess what name we have to use (PANTimg.nbh and TPimg.nbh could be good candidates). Then we have to guess the right button combo. Hard? Uneasy? Let's try...

So i read many threads in this forum and fin a problem that many users have !
Every ROM i flash on my Kaiser (wm 6.5 roms)ends with a Hardreset !
I try to explain ,so we can release this Problem!
1.I flash a new rom (6.5)than everything is ok !
2.I configure my device (Time ,settings and so on)
3.Than after a short or a long Time (5Hours or 1Day )i softreset the device ,its make a Hardreset !
4.But before, I can softreset the device how often i want ,but after a time it ends with a Hardreset!
So it is not the first Softreset thats end in a Hardreset i can be the 5th or 20 !!!
Please write your expirence or solutions ! So we find a way
PS:sorry for my bad english (Its a long time ago i learn it ))
I believe all you need to do to fix this is to flash to the latest stock rom and then install the custom one afterwards.
This worked for me.

This is what i would do before even thinking about flashing 6.5 ROM.
Always flash a stock ROM before you flash any 6.5 ROM.Statement above is proved to be correct; at least in my case.
Many senior great cookers have suggested this.

But where can i get the newest stock Rom !
On the Htc Site is one but i need a Serialnumber !!
but my device is a MDA and not HTC (Have you a S/N for me)
and after flash a stockrom do i make hard spl and Cid unlocker a second time ??
Yup - make sure its a FULL stock rom from the mfg/carrier. No stripped stock roms to cut corners. that solved my problem.

I have never had any problems flasing striped rom. No sense in flashing oem radio and oem spl just to get oem rom. One note if your phone is an ATT device flash the ATT striped rom, and if it is an HTC branded flash HTC striped rom.
Just to make it clear a striped rom is what the chefs recommend before flashing and also make sure you are using whatever radio and spl the chef suggested for his/her rom.
The whole topic of this thread has been discussed many many times over and over in every rom thread. Please search before posting your topic in the future.
Thank you
This one actually worked for me. Thanks.
I think this is the 10th I am answering this question this week! But here we go again!
I flash about 10 time a day, and about 5 different builds sometimes! I never flash to stock ROM, or do hard reset after flash.
Hope this helps.
