Did you flash the patched radio first? Have you checked you have a SuperCID device? If yes the unlocking code should work. If you have tried too many times, then go into bootloader and unlock the phone from bootloader:

How can I check if I have a superCID device?

i'm trying to get my SPV M3100 unlocked using pof's wonderful methhod unfortunately, my hermes wouldn't even go to bootloader mode, i've done the "Press side OK and POWER buttons simultaneously then reset with stylus" procedure, but it just wouldnt go to bootloader (whatever that looks like). it sort of just doing a soft-reset

can anyone help please? thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
This is most likely a wrong configuration issue on your device, not related to the radio roms on any way. Reload internet settings and try again.

bootloader command 'info 2' should return 'SuperCID' or '11111111' or '00000000'.

hi pof!

i did what you told me and i got SIMLOCK=01

this means it's still locked right?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes, try the at@simlock commands I posted before. You should see either 0 and 4 as output, for each simlock facility... 0 means OK, 4 means fail. Some will fail as not all simlock facilities are locked. After you've done this, try the at@simlock?40 again and look if it is unlocked then. This should have the same effect as doing it using SimLock.exe in OS, but just done using AT GSM commands in bootloader.

Unlock HTC Hermes /MDA Vario 2

Hi all,

i have a problem, i tried to unlock my hermes / mda vario 2 with pof's >Free HTC Hermes SIM Unlocker Available<. But i always get an error that says: Country ID ERROR.

Can anyone tell me, what this error exactly means and how i will be able to dodge this error. Maybe with another patched radio?

Or does anyone know another programm to unlock the hermes?

thanx,

Do you have multiple GPRS/3G connections. For me it had switched to auto (something I have serious doubts ever works). Once I selected T-Mobile it was perfect.

Now I'm not too sure if it was down to the upgrade or because I added another GPRS setting yesterday, but worth a look.

TO Jello_e

Hi everyone

I am new to this forum.

I read Jello_e pevious article.

what Jello_e said:

>i'm using a SIM card from Globe Philippines and one from AU Japan.

I do not think the AU SIM card can work on Hermens becasue the networks is different.

AU is CDMA2000 network but Hermens only accept WCDMA or GSM SIm card (that means Softbank or DoCoMo in Japan)

In addition, I guess even you insert other country SIM card, it may not work because Hermes can not find out the carrier network. (there is no GSM network in JP)

Just my knowledge for your reference.:)

I had to remove the RUU_Extracted_HERMES_Bootloader_1.04_only.zip file from the FTP (and some other files posted in the reverse-engeneering thread) because imei-check claimed it is their copyrighted material, so now it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader using the previous method, you have to flash rom with bootloader 1.04 matching your CID to downgrade your bootloader.

I will work on an independant solution to flash bootloader 1.04 when I have some time.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
It will if you had the NBH file I extracted from imei-check unlocker, but the file Extracted_HERMES_Bootloader_1.04 is no longer available, so you won't be able to do step 4.

See the wiki for instructions on how to flash 1.04 bootloader:

NOW:

I had to remove the file because it was violating imei-check copyright, and do not PM me asking for it because I can't send it, sorry.

My unlocker doesn't violate their copyright though, because I reimplemented a clean solution by looking at how they do it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
1) Check the CID on your device by issuing the command 'info 2' in bootloader

2) once you know the CID go to the Available Shipped ROMs wiki page:

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

3) Download a rom which has the same CID as your device on the CID column and 1.04 on the Bootloader column and flash it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
I don't intend to start a flame fest, but I'm confused how IMEI-CHECK can rip off HTC's ROM, modify it, and then go after someone who copies the result. I thought there were legal constraints on copyrighting materials one didn't have clear copyright to in the first place.... of course I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
They don't modify the HTC rom, they only took IPL.nb and SPL.nb (bootloader) extracted from an HTC rom but unmodified, then they signed it with their private key and make a fake bootloader which allows flashing code signed with their key. They jump from this fake bootloader from WM5 and flash their signed NBH file to be able to downgrade the bootloader to 1.04, this is the only way their solution works because they need the 'rtask' command which is not available on 1.06 bootloader.

My solution is different: I take GSM.nb (radio rom) from HTC rom and modify it, and flash it using the MaUpgrade_NoID.exe which is the HTC Magician upgrade utility but it is valid to flash the radio rom on the Hermes because both devices use the same bootloader commands. You get an error at the end because the radio checksum on my modified radio is incorrect, but as the checksum is checked at the end of the process my modified radio rom is flashed anyway :)

My solution doesn't need 'rtask' command in bootloader, so it should be ok to apply my radio upgrade to a device with bootloader 1.06 the problem (i think, i haven't tried) is that 1.06 checks the CID and my radio upgrade has a different CID than the one on the device, so my unlocking solution also needs a 1.04 bootloader to bypass cid-checking.

I will work on a nicer solution to downgrade bootloader to 1.04 over the weekend, I have no time now, sorry :(

m3100 not unlocking

Hi pof, looks like you are still not getting any sleep ;-)

From the log file I uploaded, you pointed out that MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe is not sending 'rpass' after getting the password crypt information from 'rinfo'.

Do you think I should try to flash a different ROM and then try the unlocker again? I have bootloader 1.04 and when I issue the command 'info 2' using mtty, I get 'HTCSORANG001'.

If so, which rom would you suggest?

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
hehehe... i did sleep today, 4 hours ;)

As you have bootloader 1.04 you can flash the rom you like, because it doesn't need to match your CID, you just need to run the RUU twice to bypass cid-checking :)

No need to thank me, i really enjoy doing it and I learn a lot :p

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mamaich:
One note. This idea of patching radio ROM was earlier developed for HTC Universal, and imei-check cannot blame anyone for stealing it. The exact author of such method is unknown - the same trick was used on unlocking old Siemens cell phones, and maybe other models too.

I cannot prove that, but it is possible that imei-check are using our free unlocking utilities to earn money on unlocking Himalaya, Universal, and maybe some other models that they ask to send them for unlock.

Hi pof,

Good news - got it working. I tried running the unlocker from my laptop instead of my desktop and it worked a treat.

No idea what was stopping it working on my desktop.

Anyway, thanks again.

Next challenge - flash the ROM... :-)

cheers,

John.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes, i did it like this because I saw how you did it on the universal unlocker and thought it was possible to do the same on the Hermes :)

Luckily HTC doesn't check security when flashing a radio rom now, but if they do it in the future unlocking will be much harder, I guess then we will need a combination of the metod to jump to a fake bootloader from OS allowing custom signed code to be flashed plus the method of flashing a patched radio.

Now I want to modify gnuharet code to make it jump into a custom SPL-1.04 loaded into ram instead of the Linux kernel, this way we can provide a free solution to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 that doesn't relay on imei-check's copyrighted material.

Tried on my SPV M3100 with bootloader 1.04. It went fine all the way up to asking for the unlocking code, after entering code it freezes. Tried numerous soft resets with other sim and the same freeze after entering the code. Phone works fine with my normal Orange sim.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Try entering the code from bootloader:

1) Download mtty

2) disable USB conections on your PC activesync

3) Put your Hermes in bootloader mode (Side OK + power button + softreset)

4) open mtty, select USB, click "OK" to connect

5) hit enter twice, you should see "USB>" prompt

6) type these commands, do not copy paste or it will not work:

USB> rtask b <--- go into at command interface
0 <--- wait until you see a "0" on screen
ate1 <--- type this to enable local echo
0 <--- you'll see a "0" on screen after this

then type the following commands:

AT@SIMLOCK=0,1,22051978
AT@SIMLOCK=0,2,22051978
AT@SIMLOCK=0,4,22051978
AT@SIMLOCK=0,8,22051978

Has my phone been unlocked?

Dear pof:

Thank you very much for your good job.

I`m a user of Softbank`s X01TH. I had did everythink like you said(downgrade, flashed radioROM),but nothing happened when I put other`s company`s SIMCard in my phone.

So I used the code what is you given in bootloader. I got SIMLOCK=01. Then I used the AT@SIMLOCK code, I got 0 at 0~8 and 4 at 16 and 32. When I tried the at@simlock?40 again, I got SIMLOCK=00.

Now, I can read the SMS and Address List in other`s company`s SIMCard. And I can see much company`s name in the selection of Network. But I can`t see the TEL-Num of other`s company`s SIMCard in the Telphone Setting. And hadn`t asked Unlocking code.

Had I succeed?(I can`t use the service of the other`s company in the city where I`m living. So I can`t validate.) What can I do?

PS: My English is very poor. I hope you can excuse for it. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes you did it right!

SIMLOCK=00 means it is unlocked :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] javacoffer:
pof, thank you very much. It`s very good you can write back so speedy.

Excuse me, I`m novice in the teachnology. I have two foolish questions.

1) Is there no the date of TEL-Num in the SIMCard? Or you can`t see yourself Tel-Num when you can`t use the services of the company(e.g, You stay at another country)?

2) Need I input Unlock-code,when I unlocked by AT@SIMUNLOCK Code?

I got SIMUNLOCK=00, but I can`t see myself TEL-Num, hadn`t asked Unlock-code when I put another company`s SIM in my phone.I`m angst.

PS: My phone is SoftBank`s X01TH, and I used China Mobile`s SIM to test. occasionally, the form which write "STK China Mobile" shows, just moment(very very quickly). what does it mean?

Bloody marvelous, followed the instructions to unlock my Orange SPV M3100 all worked OK put in my O2 sim and it worked straight away but didnt ask me for the unlock code. how is this possible ???

I dont care as long as it is unlocked I am a very happy bunny, thank you very much, and as for those people calling you a thief etc, why dont you just crawl back under the stinking rock that you came from.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean... what is "date of TEL-Num"?

Yes, you need to input AT@SIMLOCK=0,1,22051978 and then 2,4,8,16 and 32.

If the phone doesn't ask for the unlock code when you put a SIM from another company, then it is unlocked, otherwise it launches an app called SimLock.exe which asks you for the unlock code.

If you got 'SIMLOCK=00' as the output of 'at@simlock?40' on bootloader then your phone is already unlocked.

STK == Sim Tool Kit, this is just a custom menu from the operator found on almost every new SIM card... no worries about that :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arisme:
Unfortunately it isn't, the phone number is not stored in the SIM. You can retrieve your IMSI by browsing the binary file 7F21/6F07 (size 9) on the SIM however. And perhaps get the IMSI and the phone number itself through TAPI, but I never tried.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
I'm pretty sure that modified or unmodified, they're violating HTC copyright in distributing that code. Depending on whether "signing" the ROM makes any changes to the binaries or whether it's just the addition of another file, they may be "modifiying" it as well. In either case, I believe they have no legal grounds to complain about someone else doing EXACTLY what they're doing.

This is the only piece which seems to me to have ANY possibility of being copyrightable - and then if and only if it contains no HTC code (which seems unlikely quite honestly).

Again, I'm not a lawyer and I don't quibble with your decision to avoid controversy and remove the files at their request. I do think they're simply attempting intimidation without legal standing - *ALL* these sorts of phone mods are in the grey given the need to use copyrighted code (the phone's firmware) to which one may not have clear and unfettered legal right.

Ok, I'm shutting up about this now :D

I have followed your instruction to accept other SIM card on my new softbank X01HT. It is now superCID for info 2 command using mtty and also @simlock="00" for at@simlock?40 using mtty.

UK Vario II lost 3G after unlock?

Is this 'heard of'? I successfully unlocked my T-mob Vario II, and installed my O2 SIM.

Everything seems to work great, except I'm no longer seeing the '3G' icon on the top.. trying a Video call produces 'You are not connected to a 3G network'..

This is in the centre of Manchester, so there's /bound/ to be a 3G signal around here! :)

I don't have the T-Mob SIM at the moment to swap back to test.. just wondered if anyone had a ' This happened to me' experience...

Oh, and I nearly forgot - thank you for such a useful tool - only got the handset today, and unlocked already :D
