Cingular already ships the 8525 with 1.34 ROM with Radio 1.16 and bootloader 1.06...so shouldn't you have to just downgrade to 1.04 then skip the 1.16 step then follow the rest...i could be wrong though...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] strikeIII:
i think you were supposed to enter the unlock code before you re-flashed it...

Unable to downgrade to patched radio rom

All,

I have ISPL 1.04 but I am unable to patch the radio rom because I first get an error 120 wrong country and when I ten run it again it end with error code 114 so you would think it worked but it didn't and it kept being radio rom 1.18.00.10.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Arne

Try to update the RadioROM in bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sn00x:
You need the patched RadioROM. Otherwise the unlocker won't work.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LinoX:
Hey guys..

You actually removed the commands to make the device supercid because "if htc knows it..."

HEY.. WTF!!! DO YOU THINK THEY'RE SO STUPID???

They actually program with machine instructions to deal with chips in the phone..they have programmers one thousand times better than those you can find in your town..do you think that removing some instructions from a page will prevent them to make a counter-measure?? ROTFL!!!

Those commands were left only for BACK-DOOR purposes..didn't you think that??

And moreover..

If this was not a backdoor (but I'm sure it is) Do you think that they already doesn't know how we actually make it supercid?

Do you know what a disassembler is?

Maybe they already disassembled Pof's executable..

And even supposing that they don't know what a disassembler is (and they do) if any stupid user can find that (removed) commands using google cache do you think that HTC will be afraid if you removed that lines from here?

Come on guys.. be serious..

It's not shadowing a method that you can make it secure.

Security by obscurity is not the way..

Re-add those "stupid" lines to J.S.' post.. it's just to give him the credits he deserves...

PS: Not everyone wants to patch the radio to make it supercid (if their phone is already sim-unlocked)..and if J.S.' post helps supercidding the device with no flash then it can be useful for someone..

Bye
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
It doesn't, and therefore it can't. The commands only work if your device is ALREADY SuperCID. Anyway, your rant is off-topic for this thread.

Unfortunately I've lost my extra TMobile SIM so, until then, I won't be able to try this again. Thanks for all of the replies but I'll hold off for now until I have an extra SIM card. Also, since it is the law now in the US that providers are supposed to unlock the phones for you at your request, is this program now not needed here in the US anymore? I just called Cingular and gave them the IMEI numbers for my 8525 (Hermes), 2125, and Pantech mini phones. The rep took the info, filled out the form and said they would call me back within 3 days with the unlock code or I could always call back myself. I also didn't need to give them any particular reason. I'll post an update when they unlock it for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] strikeIII:
okay, so i was able to successfully unlock my 8525 now do i need to put it back to bootloader 1.06 or does it matter....if i do how can i just upgrade my bootloader without flashing the whole ROM back to 1.34...i already have ROM 1.34 and don't wanna do a hard reset just to get it back to bootloader 1.06...does anyone have and extracted 1.06 bootloader file from the Cingular 1.34 ROM...TIA

Super CID has its uses...

Perhaps for most users simply removing the carrier lock is sufficient, but I ran this tool for the Super CID first, and the carrier unlock second.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Wiper:
Okay, I finally decided to try that SIM CID unlocker thingie. My TyTN isnt SIM locked but I wanted to get that SuperCID tag.

Anyway, as following carefully through the readme, I still didn't manage to install Radio upgrade (nor the super CID). I got Upgrade Error 120: Country error (or something like that). After that I soft reseted the phone and the Radio version hasnt changed. The CID code is QTEK_001.

Any ideas what to try? Or should I just close my eyes and upgrade to the latest rom without first appying the SuperCID?

No worries, I found the answer from the Updating Radio stack guide. Everything's ok now

Anyone can help? x01HT+Do_oMo SIM

Dear All

I follow poh solution and successfully get the SuperCID(Success and SuperCID message on the device)

When I put Do_oMo SIM card into x01HT, it did not request any SIM LOCK code. Anything moved well.

But I could not receive any Do_oMo singal, I could not dial any call.

I could not adjust network either.

Then I put Soft_ank SIM card back, phone function back and worked well.

With Soft_ank SIM card, I tried toadjust network.

I did tick the network selection of both Do_oMo and Soft_bank.

But it did not work either after I put Do_oMo SIM card again.

Is anyone can help me or explain what wrong is?

I do not have other SIM to double check.

Thank you.

cingular 8525

Hi,

I am very new to this forum....I am planning to buy the cingular 8525 and i would like to unlock my phone before i leave the country(US) formy businness trip. I was wondering if i follow these instruction would i be able to unlock my phone. How long would i have to spend on this process.......

Thank you in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
Yes, though it will be bootloader 1.06, so you'll either have to:

a) do a complete reflash to ROM 1.30 (which has bootloader 1.04), do the radio reflash, unlock, verify unlock, and then do a complete reflash back to ROM 1.34 and bootloader 1.06

*OR*

b) try and find and use the imei-check bootloader hack

With the imei-check hack an hour or so should do it, without you should plan at least half a day.

New ROM of the SoftBank X01HT

Dear pof:

I think I did an asinine thing. I flash my unlocked phone to new rom of the X01TH. I found I can`t use "rtask b" command in the bootloader 1.09. So I back to 1.04. I used "at@simlock?40" and "info 2" command, and the feedback is "00" and "CID00000000". I think the phone is still unclocked and SuperCID.

Then I put the SIMCard which is another Company`s into my phone. The disgusting admonition showed, and couldn`t be closed by SB_USIM.exe. I don`t know,what had new rom done. Used New SIMLock or just used a new admonitio program?

Now I am not certain that my phone is unclocked?

I tried to flash yours radio rom, but I failed.(I flashed under ActiveSync or Bootloader. Flashing finished, and got error 114. But the radio still is 1.14)

I used "at@simlock=0,?,22051978" command in radio 1.14, and succeed.

Could you tell me, is my phone still unlocked? How can I flash your RadioRom?

if the SuperCID remains, it just means that you can flash it with any ROM you want.. so let's say you go overseas and need to buy yourself a local simcard.. just flash it to a different ROM (say.. the docomo one if you need the japanese features intact) and that should get it working.. I've never tried this yet, so don't shoot me :P

hopefully someone will come up with a solution that doesnt involve flashing the ROM to a different ROM.. I'm starting to like my SB ROM :P

Freakiness

Had something strange happen. I unlocked and SuperCID'd my M3100 (checked info 2 with mtty and it was all zeros, and it must have worked since I managed to flash the HTC firmware to it.

I come today to flash the newest HTC release firmware and the update bombs out saying invalid vendor ID.

I connected via mtty to my phone and check the CID again, it's now reverted to ORANG001

So i'm in a bit of a pickle really, there are no 1.04 ORANG001 updates out there and I'm on an SPL 1.06 HTC firmware. :(

edit: this was using v2a btw.

edit2: hmm looking around it seems lot's of other people are showing a string that actually says "SuperCID" from an info 2 ? Is that right, what was all the zeros about in mine, as it let me flash a different vendor id firmware

Hi pof,

Quick note to thank you - after downgrading my Dopod 838 Pro to an older ROM to get back bootloader 1.4, was able to use your tools to SIM Unlock and SuperCID my device, then flash back up to release. Thanks a lot, worked perfectly.

Only problem being is that now I tried to use the South African firmware - big mistake. Aussie firmware has the 3 specific files (profiles etc) not loaded in the ExtROM, but in the device ROM, and its too much to find out where each bit is to be honest :( - but now I'm stuck with bootloader 1.9. Can't wait till your release of your bootloader only 1.4 downgrader so I can play with radio versions again.

once again.. exit the program on the computer not the phone ... then just run the program again

thats what worked for me

Problem on Cingular 8525

Hi all!

I got through the instructions without problems. Everything ran as expected. I got the error 114, Got the SUCCESS message after about 1 minute, etc.

However, as soon as I put a T-Mobile SIM into the phone, it tells me I have tried 5 times and to wait for timeout. I waited about 10 minutes and then was able to enter the unlock code, but it was not valid.

What now?

First off, the unlocker worked on my Orange SPV M3100

I do have one question tho'..... I have an O2 sim, but its GPRS is NOT enabled (the company I work for have it disabled it so we dont run up extra costs but the cellular line is fine).

When I put the O2 sim into the unlocked M3100 it cant register on the O2 network (thats the cellular line, the phone states that it cant locate a service), I borrowed a friends O2 sim (it has GPRS enabled) and it worked perfectly, thus prooving the unlocker worked.

How do I get my work O2 sim working on the M3100? Does it NEED GPRS just to get the cellular line registered?

I hope that all made sense

Thanks pof. Here a T-Mobile (NL) MDA Vario II with bootloader 1.04 succesfully unlocked :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tucumana:
POF: as you said, I went through the whole thread re unloking. And I have indeed an old radio rom 1.06. So I've tried for hours to run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (I've tried the one included in the unlock zip, the one to upgraded to 1.16 and the one to upgrade to 1.20) and NO luck whatsoever. The program seems to get stuck in 2nd screen when it's supposed to retrieved device info (i.e CE image version, extended image version and radio image version). Actually, it will allow me to click on the upgrade button, but nothing will happen. It's also worth mentioning that I've tried running the program with the mobile on both the bootloader mode, and the user mode.

So I guess unless I can not update the radio rom up to the 1.16 version, I will not be able to unlock using the bootloader command:

"

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"

Or Can I try the above unlocking commands even without the 1.16 radio rom?

Any ideas of why the program is not recognising my mobile?

cheers

...but have you tried the "flash twice in a row in bootloader mode" trick?

DISABLE Activesync.

Place phone in bootloader mode.

Try radio reflash.

If radio reflash fails, try it again - don't disconnect phone, don't do ANYTHING but re-run the flash util.

Now check radio version.

Note - we're assuming you're using WinXP or Win2K on a real PC, not under VMware or the like, not a mac, etc... all of which will fubar the flash util.

Hi Richard, yes I'm using windows xp. so about the double run trick, what are you saying is to:

1. connect pc with mobile in bootloader mode

2. run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

3. cancel it (as I said before program does not end with error a it is not recognising my mobile at all, actually I f I click upgrage, it will finish with a Congratulations message!!!)

4. re run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (???)
