You have tried 100 times, please wait until timeout..what's wrong plze

I've been trying and trying to unlock this softbank hermesX01HT(not post april) but had no success. I followed all the pof's instruction but to no avail..It always say "You have tried 100 times, please wait until timeout" I notice the radio rom still shows v1.14 in device info even after I successfully flashed radio rom 1.16 only already. The phone now is shown super cid (SPL 1.40 olipro) in bootloader mode..I ran auto_unlock v3a and it says unlock successfully evertime.. I had flashed a Dopod WM6 into it but it won't unlock simlock..what did I do wrong or what do I have to do to unlock this phone please, thanks

Download fails

I am unable to download the unlocker zip file. The file seems to completely download then as it's copying from cache it says it's corrupted 'do I want to cancel the download'. Tried on a few machines, same result.

Anyone else got this problem or alternatively can someone email it to me?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mattround:
I'm having a bit of a problem unlocking my T-Mobile MDA Vario II...

I'm following the automated batch file and I believe it gets as far as the the RUU bit - I get the app appear where I confirm I've got it all ready and that I accept the disclaimer, etc, but when I click go it all starts to die; the progress bar appears on the screen but activesync dies and the phone turns off - I then wait 30 seconds and I get a connection error from the app telling me to check the cables and to try again.

I've tried on two different WinXP computers and the behavior is the same. I've disabled standby modes on both the computer and the phone.

I think the first part might've worked ok because when I do the hard-reset I get the tri-colour bootloader with the version numbers mentioned in the instructions, however if I leave this then nothing happens - I have to reset with the button in the bottom and it loads from the T-mobile boot screen (then to the WM6 loading screen).

I've kinda dived straight into the instructions with this so I don't have a clue what is happening at each stage - usually I get to understand something first (I've had lots of fun playing with MP3 player firmware - Rockbox anyone?) but with this I'm a tad impatient.

So, can anyone point me as to why I'm having trouble?

And if not, my question is - if I just cough up the £15 to T-mobile (which I'm not too fussed about doing to be honest) will the unlock code / method they give me work following the changes that have been made to the phone (i.e. will the one they give me have been overwritten somewhere in all this ROM-flashing lark)?

Thanks :)

Try using the sd-card method

This work sooo well for me, in seconds i unlocked my 8525:D. make sure you read the "read-me" for the sd-card method, becasue i believe it is not OS dependent.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mattround:
I've also just tried the SD card method and still no luck. Do I just have a stubborn phone?

I can't get the code from T-Mobile because my screen now displays the "You have tried 11 times, please wait until timeout.." message, and I can imagine the timeout will be something ridiculous like 48 hours.

problem whit my hermes

I had flash a new rom on my device two days ago..... everythings looks good... but yesterday he stopped to work and now the phone doesn't boot so i can't flash another rom :mad: what shall I do?

i sent this as a private message to pof, but also want to put it out there 1) for anyone else who may be curious or 2) anyone else who may know the answer to these questions:

i'm one of the unfortunate few hermes owners who has been unable to unlock my phone with your free sim-unlocker (i have a post-april softbank with the dreaded 0182 radio bl). since i've got my phone, i've been waiting on different alternatives to arise to unlock my phone. recently i came acrosss several sites that offer unlocking services for generally a fee between $30-50 USD. my question to you is (and i'm not really sure if you know) with these companies that do remote unlocking where you use the usb cable to connect the phone to their online server, it seems that it also debrands and CID unlocks your phone. as i am tied to softbank, i really don't want to CID unlock my phone since olipro's hardspl eliminates need for this. i simply want to sim-unlock my phone. a lot less common, but the alternative i'm looking at is IMEI-based unlock code unlocking method. my question is- does the unlock code method also remove CID lock from my phone? and do these IMEI-based unlock codes only unlock specific carrier's phones, or are they universal unlock codes? is there anything you can tell me about these IMEI unlock codes?

anyone who knows some of these answers, please give some insight.

T-Mobile MDA WIZA200 Problems removing the locks

I have successfully unlocked my AT&T 8525, but I cannot unlock my T-Mobile MDA. It seems that the batch file is copying the files to the device, but when it tries to enter Boot Mode, the three stripes, it shuts down Active Sync, and it would not change the boot file to 1.4. After this I get a message from the program that the phone is not responding and to check my cable and connection. When I try to run the SSPL-HERM.exe manually from the phone, nothing happens.

This is driving me nuts, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, great tool PROF :-)

Bricked Hermes.

Hi Pof,

I've got a bricked hermes but there are only 2 screens i can access:

1. Bootloader (tricolour)

2. HTC splashscreen

When i connect the USB cable while in bootloader - it shows "USB".

USB device manager detects the device but not Activesync.

So not really possible to run the AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat

However would like to try to flash from SD card but not sure how to locate the following file you mentioned in the instructions: HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh file.

Can you help please?

Unlock Jasjam Cellcom Israel - problem & solution

Cellcom has different locking technique.

all the unlocking process went well, 3 times for me...

after the unlock process (v3a), when I insert the sim, it connects to the gsm network, (indicated with 4-5 lines) and after about 5 seconds, it disconnect and says :

"The system detected an invalid SIM card"

and asks for unlock code.

To unlock Cellcom (Israel) JASJAM, As weird as it sounds, you should disable/deactivate/uninstall/whatever the EYRON Multi language support, which comes pre-installed by Cellcom (SP).

it appears the EYRON Software has more tasks than hebrew/russian support.

I'll let the experts explain it.

I Dont know if it works for Orange-il Tytn or for other languages/countries too.

Tricolour screen

Hi - I've read a lot of the posts and detail on using AUTO_unlock_v3a and see it works for most, not for others. I'm always a bit cautious and so follow instructions very carefully. I get the tri-colour screen OK but noting the 'make sure' warning generated on the PC by the program about the text on the screen - 'with SSPL by des first and HARD SPL 1.40 by Olipro later I didn't continue because although I got the SSPL by des text, the only other text was HERMES 300 SPL-1.09.ds

Is it safe to continue?

I've also tried a different approach - the Lockiwiz03, unlock code generator - which didn't work either as it didn't seem to be able to read the file on the phone .

I'm not a computer/phone expert but usually manage simple unlocks on phones and sort out most computer problems.

Maybe I'm just being cautious - don't want to brick the 'phone.

Hi All,

While i guess that my problem may have been answered somewhere already on this forums, the dozen of hours that i spent reading here did not allow me to find what is happening with my phone.

I have: An Orange M3100 (yes, it is an hermes).

I upgraded my phone (in the order) to:

-HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a

-Hard-SPL-V7

-CRC_r9.2

It now displays:

Rom: CRC r9.2

Radio: 1.16.00.00

Protocol: 32.53.7018.01H

IPL-1.01 (i'm not sure this is useful)

SPL-1.40.Olipro

I did not test the SIMlock the first time i runned the unlock process, and did the hard SPL and installation of CRC 9.2 right after (love the new ROM btw).

I have done the unlocking process both by USB (manual way) and Memory card (nbh file on memory card), and everytime it tells me it is a success.

However it keeps asking me for the simlock code once i reboot and install my simcard.

Any suggestion?

Many Thanks,

Ed

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I've read through the thread and am slightly confused, and would like to confirm something before continuing.

Basically, I have an Orange SPV M3100 (HTC Herm 100). A few weeks ago, I HardSPL'd it, and installed WM6. It has all been working fine.

The HardSPL version is 2.10.Olipro, is it Ok to run this SIM unlocker with that SPL version, or do I still need to follow the step to flash it back to HardSPL 1.4?

Can I go ahead and just run the unlock program, or do I need to go back to the older HardSPL first?

Any thoughts very much appreciated :)

Cheers.

I've got an Orange M3100 SPV. I ran the unlocker from my XP machine, and it ran successfully. But now I won't pickup my network (Optus, in Australia). The network list shows Telstra (another mobile network), but it won't find any other mobile network.

The M3100 has WM6 on it. Does this unlocker work on WM6? Or should I downgrade to WM5, unlock it, and then upgrade again to WM6?
