ehehe, I am exactly in the same position like you. I want to use it in English, but I don't need to unlock it, because I anyway have a Soft Bank Sim card.

So, the question is really what will happen after April 1. My understanding is that in the worst case we will not be able to use SB's XO1 "full internet" 10,000Yen flat rate tariff anymore, because with a non-SB rom flashed we cannot set up the connection manually anymore - not knowing the password.

But I guess, that problem will be also solved, eventually.

You mean, not flashing an "English" OS, using the new Softbank ROM with the Japanese OS that will allow to continue to use the 10,000+ flat rate service, and wait for a Japanese to English MUI?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
i would say it's less risky and has more benefit than buring an english rom unless someone finds the connection password.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
chainbolt,

i tend to agree with qtotter. i am sure the program Asukal is working on that will change the japanese interface to english should work perfectly for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chainbolt:
Even without the password for this special "direct" connection, I could still use their regular tariffs, or WiFi, and connect to the internet. I know that would be more expensive. Another point is that there is no Japanese>> to English MUI available atm. Ok, let's hope that Asukal can do the magic. :)

It's also becoming a matter of principle for me. I'm a paying SB customer, hell I was even already "J-phone" customer, I own the device, and can do what I want with it. So, if SB is (a) incapable, or (b) too lazy, or (c) unwilling to provide a solution for a considerable number of their customers, it's my pleasure to outsmart them as much as I can. And I am most grateful for the help, I get here.

One questions, what would happen, if I use an unlocked XDA Trion from Europe with my SoftBank SIM card? Unlocked XDA Trions are sold there for 25,000 Yen with a contract.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
well, if you have the luxury of not caring about the flat-rate capping the cost, you certainly can use it without having to flash the latest japanese sb rom and just connect to the internet with the existing ap known as "vodafone". that still works and it should be an alternate solution.

i still use vodafone ap with my universal as that account is my business account and i don't really need to care about my personal expense with that use.:p

one additional note is that Asukal is the expert of changing various language interfaces on wm5 by switching the mui from one language to another. he started from adopting various multilingual interfaces on english roms, mainly for the double byte languages, and has already succeeded in doing so. i'm confident that it will be just a piece of cake for him to do the same on japanese wm5 and change the interface to english. it should be just a matter of time he can spend on it.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chainbolt:
I hope so much he can do that, it would be almost the ideal solution. :)

One more question: If I downgrade from BL 1.09 to 1.04 and then flash the i-mate WWE rom, could I re-flash later a Softbank rom with the 1.09 BL?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sn00x:
Yes you can flash another ROM later.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
that shouldn't be a problem. you can start using it with a wwe rom and change it to the new sb rob later when Asukal's solution becomes available.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
nothing special happens. you could use it as a mobile phone on softbank 3g network. that's what an unlocked phone is for...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chainbolt:
Really?

I thought that if I use an unlocked Hermes like the O2 Trion in Japan with my existing SoftBank SIM card, it is fully functional as phone AND as PDA. I can connect via WiFi to my ISP (which is not possible with a phone) and I have full internet browsing capability (which is also not possible that way with a regular phone). I thought the only thing I cannot do is using SoftBank's "PC Direct" tariff and that I have to use their regular tariff. No?

i sure wish someone (POF!?!?!) finds a way to SIM-Unlock this new X01HT version... maybe next week when i'm not so busy anymore i could try and look for a way to bust this network lock on the new softbanks...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
i believe you're correct. i'm not sure as i haven't tried it myself, but i read that the ap "open" can be used with hermes variants and universal variants if the id and pw are configured correctly. with that said, i don't think the flat-rate data tariff will be applied to that use unless you are signed up for that and only the regular tariff will be applied.

sb's tariff plans are very confusing but i read in their documents that the pc site direct charge scheme is only applied to x series. they only have one model in x series and that's x01ht. i might be wrong but i don't think sb will let you sign up for the pc site direct unless you purchase x01ht with the gold plan.

X01HT and TyTN

Hi. I'm a newbie and am interested in purchasing an unlocked SoftBank X01HT with an English OS. Is the X01HT just a rebranded HTC TyTN with the SAME EXACT IDENTICAL specifications? If yes, will I be able to go to i-mate's web site download the latest ROM version for the JasJam and flash the X01HT with it?

Finally, I know that you can install Skype on the X01HT, but their technology is proprietary. I am using a VoIP provider that uses SIP. Is there a program available to enable the X01HT to work with my VoIP provider using SIP?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
i'm not sure what you really mean by purchasing an unlocked sb x01ht with an english os as that is not something available for you to purchase here in tokyo. x01ht now is only available with japanese os that has bootloader 1.09 and is locked. the radio seems to be read only and there is no way unlocking sim and cid nor downgrading the bootloader at the moment.

x01ht and htc tytn are variants of htc hermes and both are herm200 model. in terms of their hardware, both are pretty much identical. if you can indeed purchase an unlocked x01ht with an english rom from elsewhere, you can flash the i-mate rom or whatever rom for hermes you can find in the xda-wiki here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
thats not true.

the trueth is, that you can sign up for the flat even you have another phone.

but once you put your CHIP into a X01HT (you put your chip in a friends phone etc.) than the FLAT price of the OPEN account will apply, but you have to be signed up for the normal flat .

for example your mobile phone is NK II, than you can use the flat for 3900yen . if you know use your chip in your friends phone than the X01HT flat price will apply for this month.

you dont need the gold plan for this, you just need to be signed up for a internet flat .

this is how the japanese shop did explain it to me.

dp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
dp is right. you only need to apply for the flat rate discouont. s/b changes the cap of the discount according to what kind of connection you use.

secondly, i enjoy my flat rate discount with a plan different from the gold plan.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] miroesq:
i'm not in tokyo, i'm in new york so hence the unlocked english os model

the term "pretty much identical" is making me a bit nervous. like i said, i'm nowhere near tokyo and for all intents and purposes need an i-mate, but the price for this X01HT is really attractive. however, last thing i need is to get the X01HT, flash it with the i-mate rom and then have the "pretty much identical" hardware go buggy on me, so any advice?

thanks again for all the help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chainbolt:
Thanx for that clarification. I was also wondering about that. :D But tell me, what is the to be expected problem as if 1 April then - assuming that I have an WWE ROM flashed and using it with an SB SIM card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] harryk1372:
as long as the one you get there is sure to be unlocked with an english rom, i'm sure you won't have any problems with flashing whatever hermes rom including the i-mate one if you follow the instructions and advices posted on this forum. i in fact have my x01ht flashed with the wwe tytn rom and i'm using it with no problems whatsoever as the one i got is the earlier version that didn't come with the latest rom with all restriction discussed in this forum. the only thing i caution you is that i have no idea how it's sold in new york and you won't be able to flash i-mate rom as you plan to do if it comes with the latest japanese rom with the bootloader 1.09. i said "pretty much indentical" as the color of the body differs and the keyboard should be for japanese. anything other than that the hardware should be the same and it should be better than the cingular one that lacks the second video camera for video calls. it's just a matter of the rom that comes with the device, but it should come with a japanese keyboard if it's not replaced.

Hi, i bought an unlocked X01HT from eBay, i know this may not be an official reseller but he must have unlocked the handset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
i don't think you are following the thread although you are lucky you bought an unlocked X01HT. you simply bought it after the way to unlock it with the original rom was found.

as many already know, sb has introduced this new rom, and only x01ht sold in japan before dec 2 can be unlocked. x01ht with the new rom cannot be unlocked while you might be able to change the rom (except radio rom.)

as i said, you cannot buy x01ht without a contract. if you got a brand new one without a contract, it should have come from black market as a result of fraud.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
most of them are sold as a result of fraud. of course, no one can sell hermes at such a low price without a mobile phone contract, and softbank was losing money. that's one of the reasons they stopped selling it from late november, and applied the new unlockable rom for the model sold after december 2.

soon, unlocked x01ht will be sold out in black market since there is no supply any more...

OffTopic: Are you saying the chances are the handset i bought would be fraudulent? The seller has over 30k feedback i doubt he'd be selling anything illegal. It was an American seller, but the handset came from HK, I have no idea about the market in HK but possible bought out of a contract etc?

Unlock X--HT new version ?

Hello,

first message for me:)

The fact that the version 1.09 can not be unlocked is definitive or there might be a technical solution in a near future ?:rolleyes:

anybody has a clue ?:confused:

cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
there is no way to buy an x01ht without a contract with softbank in japan. softbank does not sell x01ht in hong kong. softbank does not sell it anywhere in the world except japan for their own customers.

anyway, i was not accusing anyone. you can believe you got your device in a legal way. why do you think it was sold at such an unbelievable low price without a contract with any career?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Busstop:
I read in another site before softbank acquired Vodafone Japan, people could cancel their contract for a small fee compared with the cost of the phone. They could keep the phone and sell it to people who could unlock the phone. I don't think it's a fraud if they still have this policy unless there is a law against unlocking a simlock phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
yes, it was true. not any more. this is a different case. if you cancel a contract now, you would have to pay for full price of x01ht.

well, this fraud was well-known in japan, and even a magazine interviewed a guy who got so many sets of x01ht to sell in black market.

by the way, unlocking is not illegal in japan. it's not an issue here, either.

i should add one thing. if you bought x01ht without a contract outside of japan, and it came with warranty, be reminded that the warranty might not be valid. not only it says, "this warranty is valid only in japan.", but softbank asks you for your mobile number and checks if it matches the imei of your device. if it does not match, they will not repair your device. use your phone with care!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] X_Farhad:
but it's good for someone who doesn't have access to any kind of warranty service, right?:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] X_Farhad:

I have a post Dec.2 device and installed the English MUI from Asukal. Then I was going to install MMS composer that he posted (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com...etMSN_MMSz.zip) and everything was going perfectly until step "c)" which was changing the registry. I have tried both with PHM and Resco editors maybe 10-15 times each and always after restart the values are back to the original. :(

Can you guys please suggest what might be the problem and what should I try. I used a lot of e-mails before geting this set and even if for now they are only short ones because of the decoding problem, I still need them.

Thank you very much.

MMS Resender

There seems to be a new program that works in tandem with the MMS Composer, re-requesting emails that generate the "decode error" so that they (assumedly) will be decoded correctly. I found few links here http://blogs.dion.ne.jp/shapo_ykp/archives/4675352.html

The few blogs I have read (or tried to read, they being in Japanese) sound hopeful that this is a true workaround/solution to the receiving MMS problem.

I would love to try this out myself, but I can't get my hands on a copy of the MMS Composer (used to be attached to this page http://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/mms_client_for_htcz.html but has disappeared) for love or money. Anyone out there who might have that cab sitting around in their recycle bins, please chuck a copy over to larsuck at hotmail dot com and I will give these two programs a whirl.

As to the registry changes not sticking... Did you try Asukal's auto reg editor? He has(d) it posted here http://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/mms_htcz.html.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kalintri:

You don't need this.

It's Japanese resource for MMS client.

You should install MMS Resender.

Ver.1.2 is released yesterday.

http://blogs.dion.ne.jp/shapo_ykp/archives/4713450.html

It's workaround application for "Decode error".

if "Decode error" occurs, this app requests re-send the MMS.

No setting is needed for this app, but connection name is fixed as "VFJP Network".

So, you have to name the connection as "VFJP Network" like below.

You should run it not on PC, but on X01HT.

well, I'll try to show you about MMS Resender.

But, I'm not good at English, as you know;)

What's MMS Resender?

http://blogs.dion.ne.jp/shapo_ykp/

MMS Resender is work-around application for "Decode Error".

At Softbank contract, when you use MMS composer, you often encounter "Decode Error" messages.

MMS Resender will help you to receive those messages.

How it works

When "Decode Error" occurs, it connects via "VFJP Network" automatically and send 're-send message request'.

It will work fine "Decode Error" on message header(subject, from...)

It doesn't work "Decode Error" on message body.

So, you still cannot get some messages.

How to Install

Unzip the archive and run MMSResender.exe on X01HT.
