Need help from Switzerland!

Hello POF!

I have been reading almost all pages and I didn't success yet to UNLOCK my M3100 Orange Switzerland!

My bootloader is 1.04

I have flashed the French QTEK 9600 Rom you installed

I tried the mtty one version and it says so:

rtask b

Enter Radio Image

AT-Command interface ready

AT@SIMLOCK=0,1,22051978

4

AT@SIMLOCK=0,2,22051978

4

........

(and so on):mad:

WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] URPREY:
You can look in the wiki for instructions to manually enter the unlock codes via mtty.

I would suggest trying the process again and make sure you complete ALL of the steps:

Downgrade to a ROM with bootloader 1.04

Flash patched radio

Run pof's unlocker

Try with a non-Cingular sim card.

Only once you are successful in unlocking should you reflash with the newest Cingular ROM.

i have the same timeout issue with the cingular 8525....the 150 error

can someone help?

Just as an info for Mac owners:

Flashing on an Intel-Mac within BootCamp works perfect. Flashing via Parallels on OS-X was not tested, but the newest Parallels beta (3120) will at least Sync a PPC without any issues.

And yes, I do own a couple XP machines as well ... no OS war please ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@wedgesurfer: Don't care about that error. Everything can be done from bootloader, you don't need to boot WM5 at all.

@Henkkaas: Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut für Schreiben eines Tutorial auf Deutsch.

My German is not good enough to write a tutorial in German. Please use an online translation or try to get help from a German friend. And post only in English here, this is an english forum.

@yashin19: start the process again from the beginning.

@wratran: check your bootloader version, if it's not 1.04 downgrade to cingular's 1.30 rom. Also check that activesync is disabled and you start the rom upgrade from bootloader.

@Applestar: LOL "flashing on an Intel-Mac within BootCamp works perfect" ... and flashing on an Intel-PC with Vista doesn't work :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] FruJu:
Hey thanks for testing that on BootCamp! I have been wondering if that was going to work or not.. Im a proud Mac owner as well ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wedgesurfer:
Urprey,

I completed the process one more time and it worked. Thanks for the support. I am going to upgrade to the latest Cingular ROM as suggested. I noticed that you have radio version 1.20.31.10 but the latest for Cingular is 1.16.00.00. What is the difference?

Thanks...

Worked like a charm!

I just unlocked my Cingular 8525, and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much pof!!

Steps:

1) Downgraded to Cingular 1.04 released firmware

2) Used pof's unlocker to flash the hacked rom

3) Ran the unlocker cab on the device, saw 'success'

4) checked with mtty to confirm it was working

5) upgraded to latest cingular rom

6) unlocked extrom and made the changes I wanted

7) hard-reset, voila... Nice 8525 the way I wanted it :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] URPREY:
Glad it worked-probably a different thread, but quickly - the newest radio rom gives me a better signal. For some it works well, for others not-so-well.

I haven't had any luck with this thing. Maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I boot into the boot loader, plug it into my pc, the screen now says "usb" at the bottom. I run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, it always comes up and says complete, but nothing happens on the phone.

Any ideas?

Update: Tried it on friends xp system, worked. Looks like there is some unexpected behavior when using windows vista and their new mobile phone apps...

3100 won't unlock - sorry to be 1000th person to ask..

Hi

I got a brand new Orange 3100 today (my employer has a contract for new handsets and I swapped one but without an Orange SIM). I want to use it on Vodaphone. It has SPL-1.04.

I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. It gave the error message "Error 150: ROM Upgrade utility error. This ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device"

I ignored this, given it said I would get an error message.

I carried on and ran HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on the phone and got the "SUCCESS" message.

I did nothing but phone says, "You have tried 5 times, please wait until timeout....."

I am sure like many others before me I am VERY worried about making the phone unusable so am not sure what to do next.

Help! Please.

Kindest regards

Michael

Read, read, read, and start the upgrade in bootloader mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MichaelPM:
Getting in deeper...

Thanks for your speedy reply, I see what people mean about you not sleeping....

I did read the forums but couldn't find the answers. Should I be worried about the "ROM upgrade..." error message?

I did try the bootloader before I troubled you, resulting script below - before I baled out:

USB>

USB>rtask b

Enter Radio Image

AT-Command Interpreter ready

(I should say that thanks to your excellent advise I have previously unlocked an XDA I, II, and IIs without any problem).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
seems you didn't understand then... you don't need to enter into the bootloader and type commands in the prompt... the 1st point on instructions say: Put your phone in bootloader mode (Side ok + power + softreset), then connect to USB WHILE the phone is on the tri-color screen, and then start MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. If problems keep, disable activesync.

Succesfully made my jasjam supercid,

I also loaded HTC SA 1.35 ROM, downgraded BL to 1.04 and installed latest radio 1.27.

All is good, just waiting now for a cooked ROM to surface.

Now I just need to reload my very useful apps, SPB suite, tomtom6, tweakers and the like.

I did this upgrade to depart from the latest IMATE ROM (the one with radio 1.21) as it was very unstable (this was preloaded on my HT467). It had problems with 1) sleeps of death, 2) muting after using speakerphone, 3) freezing while using Phone Application, 4) the soft-reset hole was getting worn out. Hopefully my new combo will be more stable.

I just got my Cingular 8525

Hello pof,

I got my phone today and I was reading everything posted here and got 1 question for you.

I already verified that my phone is Bootloader 1.06, so I can't use your tool directly.

In order to downgrade the phone I looked on the chart for CID's and found this file

RUU_HER_Cingular_1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe it has bootloader 1.04.

Is the only thing I need to do is run the file and let it upgrade? Thanks for your answer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@luisfer99: yes, that rom should downgrade your 8525's bootloader to 1.04, and then you can use the unlocker.

OK, im lost between all the different posts, the threads being so long :) and not being able to find the answers im after.

I have a Dopod 838 Pro. Currently its got SPL 1.06 on it. I've downloaded the previous ROM which has 1.04 on it.

i Flash Dopod with older ROM, get 1,04. Run POF's software as his steps show, and SuperCID my device.

Now, the only benifit of doing this is to then be able to flash any ROM from any manufacturer to my Dopod. If i flash a newer ROM, with say 1.06 on it, does that mean, if i wanted to go back to the dopods orginal ROM, i'd have to again, downgrade with that manufacturers older ROM, then run POF's software and SuperCID my device again, then flash dopod ROM, or is it a permenant change, so i can flash, reflash any ROM i want??

I ran the 'HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe' after flashing as the directions said, and got the success message. So it was SuperCID, the problem occured after I flashed a different Shipped ROM, the 'Level = FF' was back again but this time on the different Shipped ROM. After I flash your patched Radio ROM, are you saying I should flash something like the new 1.27 unpatched radio on top of that and see if it works? Thank you for your time and effort!

Hello,

I am new to this forum. But I spent about 6hrs. reading alot in this forum try to fix my phone stereo headset problem.

Oh! and sorry for my english.

I am using 2nd hand O2 Trion (HERM100) with DoPod ROM.

I guess that the ex-owner made some rom mod with this phone. (err actually, I am quite sure..... O2 with Dopod ROM ??? ....)

It came with

ROM v. 1.23.707.4

Radio v. 1.06.00.10

Protocol v. 32.37.7010.01H

Bootloader 1.04 (lucky me that I didn't grab the one with 1.09, I didn't know anything about this untill now. )

Ok. Back to bluetooth headset problem. I also saw many people complaint about the wireless stereo music always mute every 10-50 seconds. But mine is worst, it mute every 5 sec and stay quied for almost 30 sec. Even in headset mode, it also mute. I have tried my headset with another phone. It work just fine.

The guys who complaint said they would upgrade their rom.

Well, they leave no other feedback. So I assume that the problem has been fixed...

So I think I would try to upgrade my rom also.

But now, I found more problems, which I could not find any answer in this forums.

The problems are

- I am not sure that this phone is super CID or not. &

- The "mtty" can not connect with USB. I did everything by the book already.

So... I just try to unlock the phone again with Sim Unlock v.2a .

- Then I am stuck with another error code. I got "Error150" instade of "Error114", which mean success.

Well, I am still keep trying.

So I try to flash the rom with the newest one (the one with bootloader 1.09).

But I got another "Error150".

Lucky my again..

My phone still not a brick but I still have the old rom with same old problem.

Can any one help me, please?

Thank you in advance.

KrijpipudhT.

ps. Is all the problem caused by Windows Vista???? I have only 1 pc here. And it is Vista x64. :confused:

The computers in my dorm and my school do not allow to install any program (even ActiveSync). So I still have no idea if the upgrading problems caused by Vista or not.

If no one knows. I might have to borrow somone PC, which they might not like other people to install programs on their PC.

Do you mean the v1605? I have just recently unlocked my Vodafone v1605 (UK) using pof's unlocker.

I just extracted the unlocker V2a file. Went to the folder where MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe resides and clicked on it.

Mine came up with an error 120 but as suggested just flash it again and you should get the error 114.

If ur prob persists u could try and re-download the unlocker file, just in case ur initial download was corrupted in some way.

I too would like to know that answer. All this talk of bootloader 1.04 and bootloader 1.01MFG is very confusing.

Does one lose their SuperCID status if one installs a rom with a bootloader rev1.06 or higher? Or is SuperCID permanent?

Worked

Hiya,

thanks pof for this, it worked almost first time. Quick tip to others, when I first tried it, even with ActiveSync USB connection disabled, the flash utility would show 0% progress for about 5 minutes then quit with error 114. Though the error was described in the documentation, it still didn't actually flash the new radio ROM.

Solution: reboot computer, diable USB connection in ActiveSync, start the flash utility and try again, this time it worked perfectly. I guess the trick is to make sure you reboot and flash the ROM BEFORE you make any ActiveSync connections at all...

Thanks,

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cpetzny:
Recipe

Here's my success recipe in a bit more detail:

1. Boot phone into bootloader mode (hold side ok and power button while resetting with stylus, keep buttons pressed until tri-colour screen appears)

2. Disable USB connections in ActiveSync (uncheck in File > Connections...)

3. Reboot PC

4. Run no other programs and start Windows Task Manager (on the CTRL-ALT-DEL popup)

5. End the wcescomm process

6. Plug the phone into a USB port

7. Start MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and start upgrading

If you do not see the process bar, you will still get the 114 error after about 5 minutes, but it will NOT have flashed the radio. You must make sure the red progress bar appears, otherwise you will have to start the process again.

Hope this helps people,

Chris

Go into bootloader, and issue these commands:

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
at@simlock?40 <--- type this
@SIMLOCK="00" <--- if you see this, the phone is already unlocked

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:

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
AT@SIMLOCK=0,16,22051978
AT@SIMLOCK=0,32,22051978

remember that in mtty you cannot copy-paste.

Should have no adverse effect on your phone, you can flash another radio rom after if you don't like to have the patched one. For the other questions refere to the reverse engineering thread.
