Quick note pof - just used it, did everything but did not flash to 1.04.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
Thanks again Des.I found this useful part from your DOC

I transfered 1.01mfg SPL to the same dir as SSPL in my phone and made a shortcut and then pressed the button.It goes to Boot Loader,but it still display SPL 1.09.And I can not use lnb command.Is there anything wrong?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Des:
1.09 or 1.09.ds ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
yup... SSPL loads 1.09 by default, will make a downgrade tool later, i'm at work now :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jasjamming:
ok, this is excellent news.

Flasing any rom etc regardless of CID and bootloader is fantastic.

Now the question is: can we relock our CID's in the event of a warranty requirement. That way we can still have fun, but if something fails then we are covered...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
I checked it again and it is 1.09 without ds.Just the same as I normally load BootLoader.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Des:
when do you press "go to service mode" buttons ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
After created the shotcut and changed it,I run the shortcut.Then the screen turned into whole black.After that ,I pressed the OK+Power then soft reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Des:
and what bootloader you except to find in RAM after reset ? "go to service mode" keys should be pressed and hold before (or few ms after) running SSPL. Havn't mentioned this in doc 'cause it seems clear enuogh by itself for me.

ps: pressed before running and released after you've seen SPL tricolor.

pps: as i can guess 1.01MFG can be popular candidate for playing with. I can patch it to enter service mode automaticaly or even create 1.01 based version of SSPL but not right now.

POF，MY X01HT CID have losed,can use V3?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghz:
I want that too. Any chance of inserting the original CID back for warranty purpose?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Des:
Maybe i've missed something but what additional fun brings permanent (i.e. hardware) SuperCID ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
The prior version of this tool.

I agree with these people that thinks that an un-SuperCID tool may be useful (for warranty purposes only).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jasjamming:
Well, SuperCID status was possible by software, so to un-SuperCID it should also be posible.

By the term "fun" i meant not having to sticking with your OEM's ROMs which gives you the freedom to select the "better" rom to get maximum output/gain from your device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vador:
People like me that use version v2a and are now supercid need to run v3?

Or I am ok :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Des:
there is absolutely no need in permanent hardware SuperCID for having this fun. Read SSPL\Readme.txt from unlocker package or see this thread for details
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghz:
Completely agree with you.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ghz:
Yes, I agree. But it is not possible a few month back. We need to superCID our device to do that. Now with your great tools, we hope to have chance to put the CID back if we need to claim for warranty.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jasjamming:
that is exactly what I meant and I guess I didnt express my self correctly (its midnight here and a little tipsy after drinking half a bottle of home brew 'grapa')

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SecureGSM:
Just to clarify:

SSPL makes your handset to act as it was "PURE" SuperCID.

Vast majorityof users would need their device to be SuperCID only during flashing to CROSS-VENDOR / CROSS-LANGUAGE ROM. As soon as flashed, SuperCID is not needed anymore.

Next time you need to flash to cross-vendor / cross-language firmware you can simply load SSPL tool before proceeding.

CID unlock will likely invalidate handset warranty, while flashing in SSPL mode handset warranty is preserved.

It is true that CID can be reverted back to original. But why gamble?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MikeLim:
I'm back in Taiwan, and I STILL can't download from that link. This is very strange as I was able to get previous versions.

Can someone please repost the file to a new link or perhaps just send me the file, it's not very big.

Did you read and understand the first post in this thread? It sounds as if

you are not quite ready to flash your phone yet. For more info read the

wiki to make sure you reduce your chances of bricking your handset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
It sounds as if you're forcing your own answer. Have you tried it? Read the

wiki first for more info and do a search if you're worried about bricking your

How does one just 'remove' the polling script from the "welcome.exe" and

create a 'patched' welcome.exe"?

I can't even 'copy' and 'paste' the "welcome.exe" to the memory card or the

PC. So how would one even 'replace' the "welcome.exe" file?

this helped a bit, i can now search for service (rogers) but it doesnt lock onto and continues to indicate no service

is there anything we can do to help pof out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
you'd have to ask whoever wrote the file. it has been probably hacked to break the portion that is supposed to check for unauthorized SIM.

You don't need to do anything to the version of welcome.exe in \windows. Adding the modified version of welcome.exe to \windows\startup will prevent the copy in the windows folder from ever running. Windows CE is sort of like Windows 3.1 and cannot have two different versions of the same application running at once. I hope this makes sense. It's not terribly advanced.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
Take the SIM out, follow the procedure, then put the SIM back in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
Right, I understand that part but I'm trying to get an 'evil' copy of the

"welcome.exe" to hack out that part searching for the right USIM. I can't

even copy out the "welcome.exe" file from the \windows directory so where

would one get that file to have a look at it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
AFAIK you'd have to pull it from an OS rom image file. (Extract from an OS.nb file).

But I don't understand why you need to hack an evil copy of welcome.exe when the work is already done. Is there some reason that the current welcome.exe solution isn't working? The nice people who made welcome.exe have already done the hard work. That's the only thing in the OS that checks for valid SIM. The rest of the blocking is happening at the RADIO ROM level.

Or are you trying to replicate this work on some other hardware platform?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
Your radio ROM is probably still SIM locked. The unlock procedure is a two part process. You need to unlock the radio ROM and then also disable SIM check in welcome.exe (at least on Softbank X01HT ROM, anyway).

It's sort of like making a region-free DVD player on your computer. Sometimes there is region crippling setting on the drive itself and then another layer in the DVD playback software that runs on your PC.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
For some reason or another I can't get the SIM unlock screen to just die and

go away when I have the phone set up to work in Japan with the modded

(no 0182.exe) ExtROM. If I use another OS and ExtROM then I have no

problem and no SIM unlock white screen problems but then I can't use the

3G network to use the internet in Japan. Also, I plan on getting another

X01HT for the wife who wants it all in Japanese but still be able to use it

in Canada with Rogers when she travels back there.

So we need to kill off that white screen SIM unlock screen that's in the

"welcome.exe" :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] knightcapain:
thats what i thought for the longest time. had this phone since may off of yahoo auctions japan. first thing i did was to change the ext rom and made sure the 0182 exe was gone but i guess the previous owner had the phone updated by SB before he sent it to me. followed pofs instructions about 4 times and this is the farthest i have gotten. really like to use this phone but if i have to wait then so be it. if there was only a way to help out the process

Does anyone know if the Unlocker 3a works through Vista. The instructions say you need XP or 2000.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
Probably not. Nothing seems to Sync well with Vista. Vista is pure crap as

long as it barely supports anything. Give Vista another year until they work

out all the bugs from this public M$ beta release. It will also help if M$ had

managed to get drivers set up for its lameass platform. Currently you'll be

SOL with a lot of video cards, some BT stacks, and even M$' own ActiveSync

with a lot of devices. Remember at M$ money is more important than a stable

product. :rolleyes:

Just use XP whenever possible and you'll be fine. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] allan1:
Vista is fine with everything that I need. Crap ... I think not! And I'm not going back to XP. So, since you don't know the answer can someone else tell me if this Unlocker works with Vista?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
You haven't seen the other thread which has information about getting the Softbank settings on your Englishized X01HT? I have been using English ROM on SB 3G network for months.

Works great.

Here's the link to the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298031
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
I think you missed the point I was making that the unlocker is NOT the issue

here. It's that Vista doesn't sync well.

From what I've read, at minimum you should have ActiveSync 4.5 installed

and even then there's no sure bet that M$ Vista will sync properly.

BTW, if you're having such great success with Vista, why would you be

asking if the unlocker works with Vista. :confused: You obviously know

that Vista has problems so quit pretending it's prefect. It's not!

I spend more time removing Vista from people's new computers and putting

their old XP on their new systems that there must be a reason why.

If you're happy with it then count yourself as one of the VERY few. Maybe

in a year, Vista will be better once drivers and patches show up but for now

it's another first release WIN98 all over again. Remember that? :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
Thanks for the link.

Yes, earlier today another user (I forgot his name) pointed me to that

thread as well and I will try that out. I'm back (again) in Canada for a few

weeks but I will try it once I get back to Japan. There's no real way for me

to confirm I got it setup right while I'm in Canada. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] allan1:

I, like all the rest on this forum, was not right beside you when that error

what your thinking. A LOT more information about what you where doing

etc. would go a long way in making people even want to help you.

You should be even surprised that you even get a reply to your poorly

worded post. You'll understand later down the road if you stay here long

enough that you can't make a request like that because you'll either get

ignored or flamed.

I assume you at least did a search here and the wiki, right. :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
If everything "sounds so similar" then you need to understand what you are

reading. Reading just for the sake of reading it is not understanding it or

for that matter learning what you need to do. What did you do step by step

to get you to where you are at now with this problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] manutd35:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
The only way to start properly trouble shooting something is to make list of

everything you did to your phone (step by step) before it failed. Somewhere

in those steps you made a fatal error or maybe you're not aware that you

did but by listing them down and putting them up on this thread will help

you get some possible answers. We aren't mind readers and I don't think

people here are just going to start throwing guesses out at you as to what

the problem could be. If you want help you're going to have to do some

work to get help.

Good luck, M
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] allan1:
just a quick question. Before, I had 2.10 Olipro .. after unlocking I have 1.4 des. Is there any difference?

Also, if I flash a WN6 rom, does it need to be unlocked? They don't seem to be carrier specific.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] manutd35:
Yeah i can get into bootloader but none of the methods on wiki are working for me. Particularly because active sinc isnt picking up the phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] oltp:
When you're in bootloader AS can't see the device, but the RUU should. Have you read about the SD flash method?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] manutd35:
No i didn't come across that what is the SD flash method. what link do i go on.

Sorry but im a complete amateur so i don't really know.

Going a bit off topic will this invalidate my warranty. and ive been told that if you download illegal material on the phone it will invalidate it. Is this illegal material. If it is a chargeable repair does anyone know how much it will cost roughly.

Thank You
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] oltp:
Flashing a different rom or bootloader than provided by your operator is likely to cost you some extra money to repair. Might be voiding your warrenty completely, all depending on their reaction. But we all started as amateurs & probably you can de-brick your Hermes with methods described in the wiki eg http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems read everything carefully before trying. As long as the bootloader is accessible one can repair the device. Sometimes you need to flash the rom, sometimes it appears to be enough give it 'kick' via the bootloader.

Must say I haven't tried it myself, no need for it. I do believe you can trust the guidelines in the wiki though.

Success, M

Ps Haven't looked for the Sd-flash method. Better to try other methods first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] manutd35:
I am going to try the "Problem 5" method. But what do i do at step 9. what do i flash? P.S Any idea how much HTC will charge.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] oltp:
There's always a chance of making things worse, but you took that risk deliberately by trying to remove the sim-lock diddn't you? To me it looks like your radio will be flashed again with the one you (should have) tried the first time. Read it very carefully espacially when you need to change your bootloader too. You can give it up and call the repair centre, that will cost money for sure. With the help of what's been written in the forum you got a fair chance to fix it yourself, you got to understand what you're doing though and have strong nerves.

I'd go for it, but then again I nearly bricked my first Magician with a corrupt rom I patched myself. Man I was scared sh.tless. Can't make the decision for you though, this is your call and unluckily you can only blame yourself when it gets worse. Bright side a solution is present and not the only one who has suffered this problem.

Reading and understanding is the most important thing in this.

i just ran the unlocker with no problems. am yet to find out if indeed i was able to unlock my sim. wont find out till i get to borrow a sim from a different carrier. which brings me to my first question. has anyone had any difficulty taking out the sim card from a cingular 8525? was contemplating on prying it out when my phone first came but it looked like it was hard to do.

my second question which is also the main question ;)

before i ran the unlocker, i upgraded my SPL to 2.10 and my radio ver to 1.43. now after i ran the unlocker, my SPL version is 1.40 and my RADIO version is 1.16. would it be safe to upgrade my SPL and RADIO versions again? if it is, is it necessary?

I have just been told that they will not repair it in the U.k because it is a Japanese model (HTC Z)but i was always under the impression that HTC Z is part of HERMES which is European.
