freezes on tricolor screen

i have read almost the entire forum but cannot find a solution to my problem.

i am using the method of flashing through the SD card and have followed all the steps. however, once i transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to my phone and run it, i get the tricolor screen with "Serial" at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens. It seems as though the phone freezes at this point.

Please advise if i'm doing something wrong and what i need to do to correct this.

cingular 8525

hello there!

when I turn my cingular on it shows a screen saying "Network is locked, please input unlock code". I run the unlock tool version 3a but didn't work. Therefore even when I turn the device on and connect it to syncronize, the same screen stays there and about the question of installing a untrusted program that was suppose to appear in my screen, it never showed up. I press a key to continue and it was suppose to copy files to my device but suddenly gets disconnected with activesync and the unlock tool asks me, would you like to try again?

I have the bootloader 1.06 and run the unlock tool under windows XP

Any help? Thanks!

pof has been quiet lately. he's either very busy or very busy working on an unlock for the post april hermes. imeicheck has it, so I am sure pof will figure something out soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Moscou:
Hi,

finally I've managed to unlock the SIM of my phone.

Thank you Pof! You did a very good job.

I just want to mention a difficulty others may be finding following the instructions of the unlock tool.

After syncronizing with the computer and runing the tool from the desktop, the phone reboot but it didn't sync as the instructions said it would. I figured out the hermes unlock was already transfered into my phone. Then I used the windows explorer of phone to locate the application and run it from the phone. Then it was unlocked with success.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] wpbear:
Used to unlock SIM only. Worked great and much easier than the older version Pof had. I was greatful then and even better with v3a. Only suggestion I see is instead of forcing OliPro SPL everytime, just have it check and see if the SPL is already 2.10.Oli there. I put the SPL on first with every Hermes so it was an extra step to flash it again. Thanks!

It works awesome on mine, I had boot loader 1.06!

Sweet! I can now use my phone with t-mobile! Thanks a mil, you guys a re so awesome! It worked just fine.

A couple things:

When you say it should ask yes or no the 2nd time, it actually waited for me to press enter once more on keyboard after restarting the activesync (had to unplug and plug back in data cable on my phone for activesync to notice the phone after one of the reboots, no big deal but a newer person my get freaked easy and not know or something).

When unlocking, you have to push the unlock button on the phone once per thing you want to unlock, So if you chose both unlick SIm, and Unlock CID, it's gonna do each one at a time, and the CID is first, in my case. I thought it was done with both, when it wasn't because after it said it unlocked the cid, it didn't continue on it's own. I rebooted to find the phone still locked to AT&T. I then just ran the unlocker from my Memory card, and just only chose unlock sim, and it worked! If I were to do it all over, I would only unlock one at a tim, the sim first (especially a newbie). I'm assuming after it said it unlocked the cid, I was supposed to click Unlock again, but it really was not clear what to do.

And as far as someone saying this wouldn't work on Post April phone on a 8525, and it bricked your phone, I call BS on that post! This worked like a charm and I have bootloader 1.06, At&T phone purchased in July of 2007

So either it's a BS post or the person is not at all tech savvy...maybe it's someone from At&t or a pay for unlock site trying to discourage us..?

Anyway, awesome site, I will be sending a $10 donation when I get paid...well worth it. Thanks mucho..!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??????

I never understand these questions - it's kinda like: "I have a Pentium4 motherboard, has anyone ever tried putting an Athlon processor in one?" or "I have a blender, has anyone ever tried using the motor from a dishwasher in it?"

The two phones are completely different. Why would anyone think it would be a good idea to use a tool which hacks around with the dark internals of the firmware on some completely different platform?!?!?! When you have a headache do you take horse medicine?

Sorry, I guess I'm ranting - I should have replied more simply: "Yes, if you want an expensive brick".

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ziddey:
Yes, strikeIII, have you figured this out yet? I'm about to get a 8525 myself (cingular.com has $150 refurb ones. good deal!!). I've been reading on the forums for many hours already to get as much as I can, but I just wanted to be sure of your situation.

The only thing I have to say so far is that I wish there was a compilation page that not only just listed the different versions, but had the general consensus and a rating next to it. It's a bit of a pain to sift through everything. I intend on using tmo usa on the 8525, but see cingular has the newest roms. I'm intending on going wm6 soon after I get it, so I'm going to be looking up reviews on the cooked roms soon.

Great info here! Just wish there was a more centralized up to date sticky of sorts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
I believe a number of folks have posted that they successfully unlocked post-April 8525's, so I'd say you're probably safe. If you're getting a phone from Cingular, they CAN give you the unlock code - though you say Tmo, so I'm a bit confused....

Good Afternoon all

I apologize if this is somewhat of a repetitve question. I am moving for the first time to GSM from CDMA, so my experience with SIM-Unlocking is well, not there.

I am getting a Rogers TyTn (I don't have the version information yet) before I put on a WM6 ROM, etc. if I follow the steps, that should unlock my phone (I do a lot of US Travel and a pre-paied US Sim is in my sights).

Thank you all for your replys!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
However, as far as being able to read/write against unprotected extrom while using your hermes, I believe your device must still be superCID as opposed to SSPL. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong b/c while logical, this is conjecture based on my current (minimal) understanding of SSPL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
I think you're wrong. The EXT_ROM is totally independing of the Country I.D.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
yeah, but I'm also believing that part of it's unlocking process isn't. Historically, the Extrom unlocker has only given you RO access to the extrom unless your device was superCID when the unlocker ran. All the unlocker does is change a few registry values so something else in the device is checking CID lock I believe.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
Based on all the replies in the ExtROM threads, I concur. Folks who were not SuperCID were not able to unlock ExtROM on later ROMs, only those who were SuperCID were able to do so. While I agree the two SHOULD be separate, they APPEAR to be connected....

Then I installed the unlocker, but afterwards the SPL was still SPL-1.09? (shouldn't that be 1.04 then?)

- then flash 1.01 mfg? ...

- ...and then an official HTC rom (let's say 2.05)? Would i keep the 1.01 mfg or loose it when i'll upgrade? If so, could i reflash 1.01 mfg ONLY?

Confused

I am at my wits end. Please can someone clarify the process a little more?

I tried the AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat process - stopped it when RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe runs and says it needs an ActiveSync connection, which I didn't have, even after restating activesync and unplugging plugging my phone (I'm at the TRI-Color screen now, the phone didn't reset automatically).

Looked at the manual directions - it says to make sure activesync can't use USB to connect, then to connect the cable and then run RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe - which says it need an activesync connection - which I just disabled. :confused:

What's going on? Do I need an active connection or not? If not, why hook up the USB cable at all?

I'm using ActiveSync 4.5 and Windows XP SP2.

Anyone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] eraserbabyboy:
I supposition that you follow manual instruction and run auto-install.

Of course that you must be in active sync connection if you run auto-install.

Try again.

HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a_Won't unlock D 1.33_Need Advice.

I have successfully unlocked my friends X01HT with a D1.20 bought on Dec. up and below, just recently tried to unlock a more recent one, with a D 1.33. and have been unsuccessful.

Are there new changes? or am i just doing it wrong, which i have done almost 8 times... successfully before...Any advice?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] khammo01:
You need Activesync for the first step only. The Activesync connection will drop (this is by design) for the rest. Follow the directions carefully. During the DOS prompts, closely follow and don't "press any key to continue" right away. wait until you see that nothing is happening.

It is normal for the device to go to 4 color mode. Don't reset the device during this mode. Doing so in the middle of a RADIO Rom upgrade, for instance, could brick your device.

If you do the procedure but it still seems SIM Lockeed, also try superCID. If that still doesn't work, you may require professional advice.

No ActiveSync?!?

I'm have the identical issue. I run SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe on the device and wait for the SPL-1.40.Olipro 4-color screen and then run the RUU/RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe on the PC. This application requires in step 2 to establish an ActiveSync connection. BUT, the previous manual instruction required that the ActiveSync be disabled. So do I enable it again on the PC, and then "try" and establish the ActiveSync connection (which won't happen unless I reboot the phone!:confused: ). (Some estimated times to wait would be most helpful on each step!)

Any help would be most appreciated!:D

Well, I finally unlocked the 8525. Apparently step 2 is not necessary for this to work. I just ran the batch file and ignored activesync until I was told I needed the connection again. I then had to manually kill activesync on my PC and disconnected the usb cable then reconnect it to get a working connection.

After that the unlock worked fine but when I put the T-Mobile SIM is said it's still locked and asked for an unlock key. I searched this forum and found the key to be 22051978 which worked perfectly.
