hello again AquiEsta!,

oh good that you got it runnig. I havent gotten it yet, though I might get to it in one of these busy days.

can you tell me a bit more in details what was the exact way to pursue.

I have almost same situation... no .log file in my win and same weird simlock screen. I will appreciate it.

as for the softbank connection, dont really care.

you said it that tokyo is full of hotspots FOR FREE, especially near a hotel or coffee shops so I dont see the need of yet another meail address on my phone. beside that I work with computers and therefore kind of want to take a break when with my phone.

anyway I think i will give this piece away soon, and have got my eyes on the toshiba smart phone due to be released soon. yeah ... so many way to waste money. but X01 was and is a good gadget.

thanks in advance

First, please forgive me for my noob descriptions :) I gave this program a try on my 8525 and am now having some issues. The phone was flashed so that I saw SPL 1.09ds the 1.04 by Olipro on the tri-color screen.

There are two popups that required a click by me. The first one went ok, then when the second popped up, I clicked next. I was on the step where there is a progress bar on the computer that said the process could take up to 10 min. As soon as that popped up, the phone's screen turned off. I figured it was part of the process so I left it alone. After a couple minutes, I got an error message that said the program couldn't connect to my phone, and only gave me an exit button.

I exited to try again and turned the phone back on, but now my phone won't connect to activesync! Neither via bluetooth or USB. My laptop doesn't even show the phone under the bluetooth devices, it was erased and when I search to re-add it, it can't find it. Also, when it's connected by the USB cable, I get an error message saying that the USB device has malfunctioned and I can't connect that way either. As it now stands, I can't connect at all which means I can't even reflash it with the original ROM.

PLEASE help!!!

Finally : Success with Cingular 8500

Hi all and pof,

In absence of any response to my earlier post (see below), I went ahead and used the utlity on the 8500. I was successfully able to unlock the phone.

I used the batch file route initially but it got stuck when it is supposed to run the file "HERM_Unlock_v3.exe" on the phone. The Active Sync Manager at this time was displaying the message "Looking for Changes".

Then I followed the following steps manually:

1. Copied the file "HERM_Unlock_v3.exe" to the phone

2. Disconnected the phone from computer

3. Ran "HERM_Unlock_v3.exe" on the phone

4. Clicked the Unlock Button, selected both SIM and CID unlock options. (It took around 4 more minutes)

RESULT : PHONE successfully unlocked (both SIM and CID)

Thanks pof and team for the great utility that you have created.

Will now play more with this beauty and come back if I have questions.

P.S. Also, I must say that these 25 minutes (when I did all this) seem to be the longest and the most interesting 25 minutes in my gadgets history.

Hi guys

I'm real sorry if I'm going about this the wrong way, but this is my second day as a member and am trying to find my feet on how things work. So please correct, I wont be offended

I have a SPV M3100

Operator Version: 14:123.1.614

Rom version: 1.23.61.4

Rom date: 07.13.06

Radio version: 1.06.00.00

Protocol version: 32.37.7010.01H

SPL-1.04

I tried to sim unlock with

HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a

and also with

HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a

Now what happens when I boot up with o2 sim is it asks for a code but wont allow me to confirm the code. It says that I have tried 11 times and to wait for timeout but nothing happens. Without the sim in I can use all of the phones features apart from any communication.

As I'm new to the smart phone community alot of the instructions on how to unbrick and unlock are way over my head. Is there a fools guide that I have missed and could benefit from.

Thanks again guys.

Hi Pof,

Sometime ago, I used your tools to unlock a X01HT and i worked great. It was a post Dec-2nd one. But this time, I failed to do the same process for another X01HT. This one has the ROM date 11/10/06, original radio version 1.14.00.10, bootloader 1.09.ds. After I used Unlocker v3a Radio version is 1.16.00.00 but when I inserted a Docomo SIM it still asked for unlock code.

I used the unlock code 22051978 but not successed. I re-did the unlock process with Unlocker v3a (automatic mode) 3 times but still failed.The phone is still nowworking fine with Softbank SIM.

Do you have any way to lead me with this? Thanks

Radio version CHANGED after Unlocked?

Hello to all members,

I am just a newbie here... so please be easy on me if you would! (much appreciated!):)

I just received my TyTN (HERM200) from Rogers Wireless (Canadian Carrier) and am so exited to unlock it...

I have read this thread through out to learn all of the "GOOD" (and bad of course) BEFORE I did the unlocking procedures.

Everything seem went SMOOTH to the end, then I checked and NOTICE that my Radio version and Protocol version HAVE CHANGED (or downgraded if you would!) as follow:

Radio version from: 1.42.00.00 to version: 1.16.00.00

Protocol version from : 32.75.7020.18H to Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H

Is that normal which the UNLOCKER MUST DO to able to unlock the TyTN?:confused:

Should I RESTORE the Radio and Protocol version to their previous stage (which newer version?) and if so HOW DO I DO THAT?

The phone is brand new and HAVE NOT tested with any SIMs including the Rogers one.

Your feedback is very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Im aksing the same.. Ive gont through all the pages of this post, many people ask the question, but cnat find the answer..

I have UK Orange M3100 with HardSPL-2.10, and 1.38 radio... I have just got T-Mobile Sim and want to use... From what I gather, using the unlocker will downgrade SPL and Radio, but I dont know if you can simply upgrade again.. the instructions on page 1 arent ber clear.....

Once the phone is unlocked does it stay unlocked regardless of whether you reflash SPL, or Radio etc.....

Problems running unlocker

I'm having a problem similar to the one awer25 is describing, except that after the screen turns off on mine, I don't have any problems reconnecting to activesync. I can confirm I see the spl changed to 1.40olipro on the tricolor screen before the next part of the process begins. I just can't figure out why the phone turns off as soon as the progress bar shows up and says the process will take up to 10 minutes. Anyone know a fix for this problem or know why it's happening?

Advise

Hi Asif

I'm really sorry for the delay. I have not been online for awhile as I only have connection at work. In answer to your question, I am going to dedicate a few hours to the issues I'm having today so at present the only advise I can give is read through the sim unlock wikis and related threads very carefully to get an understanding of things to avoid before you unlock you SPV so you don't end up with a brick like me.

When I have had a good bash at it today I will let you know how I got on.

All the best

pof, u r a GENIOUS! :)

pof you are a genious!

I ran the SIM unlocker without any problems and my 8525 is now unlocked.

However, the phone did ask for an unlock code. Thankfully, I rememeber having read on a previous thread that "If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978." I used that code and it worked perfectly. Maybe you could include this in the instructions.txt file

I do have one question (well more than one!), what will unlocking the CID allow me to do exactly? Is it to be able to use different ROMs? If so, what is the advantage of changing the ROM? I gather from the threads that WM6 is very popular.

How can I get rid of the annoying AT&T logo and LOUD sound that "greets" you whenever you turn the phone on?

I'm getting no FTP lovin'

Hey everyone.

Firstly, thanks to the Genius pof for this unlocker.

Secondly, is there any possibility of getting a non-FTP download link? I've tried everything, FireFTP, Opera, IE, FileZilla, after reading someone suggesting that it might my ISP [Which is BT if anyone knows if there are / aren't blocking it.] I tried using a proxy, that didn't work either. I would try at college but I'm fairly sure they've locked down FTP. :( [And I'm still on me summer hols. :)]

EDIT: For the hell of it I tried downloading the link using my Hermes on my WiFi, and guess what, that worked. Still no idea why the other things I did didn't work though...

I'm new to unlocking devices. I'm looking at getting a Cingular 8525, either unlocked, or then unlocking it myself.

I didn't see anyone say anything to contrary so I want to confirm: This tool *should* work with the Cingular 8525?

My next question is this -- if I buy it with WM5, unlock it, then upgrade to WM6 -- will that reverse the unlock? Or, if I buy an unlocked WM5 8525, then upgrade, will that lock it again?

Then again, I have looked at using like Sleuth's ROM too, but I'm new to this, so I'm not sure I want to risk it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
If your device is CID unlocked then you can flash any carrier's ROM.

If your device is SIM unlocked then you can use any carrier's SIM.

Somehow you folks seem to have gotten CID unlocked but not SIM unlocked. I used a much older version of this tool and got both at the same time. Other posts describe how to check CID unlock status (aka becoming SuperCID) in the bootloader. The simplest way to check SIM Unlock status is simply to insert a SIM from a different carrier....though I vaguely recall pof or someone else describing bootloader commands to check SIM lock status. Search and/or look through the wiki.

Hi,

I've bought a cingular 8525 in the US expecting to be able to unlock it with the unlock tool Pof released. When I received the device and turn it on to my surprise asks a four digit password.

Hard reset the device. Simultaneously press the left and right menu keys (keys above the menu and OK keys) and press the reset button with the stylus. Follow prompts to erase the device's configuration. The previous user should have done this before selling it to you!
