JP Voda SIM Error

i guess the Blank Squear is not for type Unlock Code,

But Dial Emergency call #(dont know exist or not)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
cruzzmz, thanks for the translation :)

So the problem is that Softbank added simlock protection by software into the OS rom or ExtROM, and if I understood it correctly SB_USIM.cab removes this protection, right?

Of course if you flash another ROM (DoCoMo hTc Z for example, if you don't want to loose japanese capabilities) you will remove this protection, but this might not be a solution for everyone, as there's people who proably prefere to stay in the softbank ROM and keep softbank default settings.

I've been looking at X01HT ExtROM, there's a cab called "PT_SIMlock_Empty.CAB" which replaces default OS \windows\SimLock.exe with a custom one. Solution should be to soft reset before ExtROM installs, and then unhide ExtROM with hermes tweaker and run all cab's in ExtROM manually, except this PT_SIMlock_Empty.CAB, which is the one who causes the trouble... you should be fine with this, no need to install SB_USIM.cab again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Asukal:
guys of X01HT

i suggest you all to forget X01HT with Voda ROM.

Flash Docomo ROM to solve the problem.

If you need & still insist keep default,do not think about UN Lock and use with Voda SIM!

Voda will recall to fix unlockable ROM to disable to Unlock soon.

Am I the only one who can't do this? ??

Hello pof!

Fisrt of all allow me to congratule your for this job, that i see that is working fine with almost everybody who tries it!

But as a matter of fact, that's my big problem now! Since I saw that everybody was happy with your program, i've decided to do it also myself!

I bought my HTC TyTN last friday, blocked to a portuguese operator, and after searching this thread i followed all your instructions: My SPL is 1.04, i made the radio reflashed and got the error message, soft reset the device, connected it to my laptop and run your program unlocker V2a...And i also had the success message! The problem is when i put another SIM cards (i tried more then one), after the PIN code the HTC asks for the SIMLock code, and the code u have on your Readme file doens't work!

As i didn't find any similar case here, jsut wanted to ask u what do you think it went wrong with my procedure???

:confused:

Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
gbrf0747:

I asume you used version v2a of the unlocker, if not repeat all process with this version, otherwise:

First check that your radio version has been changed to 1.16.0.0, if it's not repeat the process again.

When radio has been changed to 1.16.0.0:

- Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your device and wait for the success message

- Check if you can put a sim from other operator, if you can't:

1. connect to bootloader using mtty.exe

2. type these commands:

USB> info 2
USB> rtask b
ate1
atv1
at@simlock?40

And paste here the output you get from bootloader.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gbrf0747:
Ok... As you can see i'm a rookie here, sorry!

Should the actual radio version information (1.16.0.0) appear on the first soft reset screen it it was done correctly? Or should i use another tool to check that or see it in the device information window of W5?

Because in that first screen i still have the old one (1.03.03.10)...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
You can check it in both places (first screen or WM5), so if it still shows 1.03.03.10 it means you have not upgraded the patched radio yet.

Run the process again and make sure you start the radio upgrade from bootloader mode.

Worked!

Had to downgrade to the old TyTN rom with the 1.04 bootloader, but after following all the instructions and upgrading to the full Cingular rom (1.34 rom and 1.16 radio) it's still SuperCID. So woked perfectly. thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] javacoffer:
Hi，Asual！

I can`t understand your meanings? I had Unlocked SIM-Lock, and update Radio to 1.20 in my X01HT. It will be locked again?

PS. Asual, I like your Gobel, and look it everyday. That is a very helpfully. Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Quentin-:
pof,

There seems to be an issue with your v2a that disables the ability to ever flash the radio separately after you have used it.

What I mean basically is that I was running the CHT9000 ROM/RADIO on my XDA Trion (GER) device. I followed your instructions to flash the new (hacked) radio 1.16.00 and then ran the simunlocker. It worked, even mtty showed Level = 0 (Super CID).

I tested by installing the TyTN rom that has the 1.06 bootloader first. The update worked great (with no complaint about CID even though my hardware is O2). Then I figured I'd try to see if it worked to upgrade to the Radio 1.16.00 even though I had BootLoader 1.06. It didn't (no big surprise there).

The surprise came when after flashing the latest Dopod ROM (DopodAsia_1.23.707.4_1.06.00.10_WWE) which by the way worked without complaining as expected, I am *still* unable to update to radio 1.16.00. That includes even being able to install your hacked version of 1.16.00. I am at BootLoader 1.04 now of course.

So the issue seems to be that for whatever reason the ONLY way I seem to be able to upgrade my RADIO is through a complete ROM flash...no more mixing rom X with radio Y ;/ ...

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to get this working again. Thanks,

-Q

EDIT: Never mind...

Am able to update new radio images by:

1) Enter BootLoader Mode

2) Hook up to USB

3) KILL (not just disable USB in ActiveSync) wcescomm.exe process in Task Manager.

4) Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

I'm really not sure why that's required when the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe starts/kills wcescomm.exe itself but for whatever reason it works and doesnt hang at 0%...

-Q
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Quentin: I have two different Hermes here, I tried to flash radio upgrade only after applying every unlocker version without problems on each one. The only requirement is to have bootloader 1.04 on the device, which from your comment I see you have it.

I recommend you to double check your bootloader version, if it's really 1.04 then try the radio upgrade again and capture the output using usb monitor (see bottom of this page for instructions). Then attach the USB monitor capture in ANSI text format and I will tell you exactly why it fails. Please start the radio upgrade (MaUpgrade_noID.exe) in bootloader mode and with activesync disabled.

EDIT: LOL.. just saw your previous edit... we were both replying at the same time!

Activesync is crap, I always remove it from win startup, and only open it manually when I really need it. It always causes problems and is not needed at all for rom upgrades, the best is to start the upgrades from bootloader mode and without activesync running.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
1.04 is bootloader and should stay like this.

Radio must be 1.16.0.0, check it, if it's not disable activesync, kill wcescomm.exe process in Task Manager, and start upgrade from bootloader mode.

Any more ideas????

Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
mdavenport: You're confused with radio and bootloader versions.

- Bootloader is either 1.04 or 1.06. Must be 1.04 for the unlocker to work.

- Radio is version from 1.03.x.x to 1.20.x.x now, my patched radio is version 1.16.0.0

- You can see radio version from WM5, but you can't see bootloader version from WM5, you need to look at the tri-color screen for this.

When you run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe you should press OK for the process to start, and OK to close the "success" notification at the end.

Hi POF,

Question

POF,

I don't know if I explained my self correctly. I unlocked my Vodafone tytn using your first version, it works well. I'm just asking if it does make sense to use your version 2a. Will I get more features?

In Spanish: Ganos algo utilizando la nueva versión?. Según he leído creo que la versión de radio será la 1.16 y yo creo que tengo la 1.13.

Gracias/Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Pablete: If you unlocked using v1 and are still using the patched radio 1.13, you have your phone unlocked but it's not SuperCID. If you want to have it SuperCID you just have to run the exe file as I said previously. If you want a higher radio version you don't need to use a patched one, download 1.16 or 1.20 from the wiki.

In spanish: Como ya tienes la radio 1.13 parcheada, solo tienes q ejecutar el exe y hará la Hermes SuperCID. Luego si quieres cambiar de versión de radio por una mas alta, bajate la 1.16 o la 1.20 del wiki (no hace falta q sea una radio parcheada).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pablete:

Thaks very much for your patiente. Last question: what would you reccomend me, stay at ROM 1.16 or upgrade it to a better a newer one (after using your unlocker v 2a, of course). Thanks!!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mizuchi:

I forgot to ask in my previous post.. what's the difference between 1.04 and 1.06? is there any need to upgrade to 1.06 or should I just stick to 1.04? if 1.06 was released only to fix the CID checking thing, then I dont see any point to upgrading to 1.06 since the device is already superCID..

Do I have to use the radio patched ?

or can I launch the executable one without patched the rom directly?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Scroll down this page, see "notes about CID and bootloader versions":

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

I prefere to stay in 1.04 because I use rtask command and radio/GSM bootloader quite a lot, as for the CID checking it doesn't matter because you're already SuperCID and it doesn't affect your device.

You must install the patched radio first, then run the executable, otherwise it will not work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] festermania:

@pochi00jp: It's better if you dissable activesync, but it's not a must you can do it with it enabled too as MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will kill it. For HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe you don't have to worry about activesync, as it is run on your Hermes, not on your computer.
