Orange SPV M3100 Simlock timeout

I am trying to unlock my Orange SPV m3100 (HERM100) to use O2. I have followed the instructions and done everything correctly as per the instructions from pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/ . I am using Windows Vista on my pc.

I am now getting a SimLock message stating tha I have tried 40 time's and need to wait for it to timeout which I have done for the last 4 days.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue as there is nothing on the forums ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] veyka:
I got this the first time I tried todo it.

To fix it i redid the sim unlock, but manually flashing the radio via the SD card method, then copying the unlock.exe over a running it.

Note, I soft resett'ed between flashing the radio and running the unlock exe.

Edit: I see your problem, didnt notice you where using vista, yes, the auto method wont work, so manual flash via sd method: HOWTO FLASH VIA SD

Then copy the "Herm_Unlock_v3.exe" to your sd card and run it after soft resetting.

This worked for me

How to Unlock using Vista... SPECIFICALLY FOR NEWBIES!

Hi everyone. First post as I'm a new member, but I think this site is great. Anyway, as I'm new to the whole modding game for PocketPCs I had a difficult time unlocking my 8525 from the network. I'm running Vista and the auto install obviously doesn't work.

BUT, the described manual install does regardless of whether you're using Vista. Here are the steps I took (slightly adjusted from included instructions file) and it worked like a charm. I FOLLOWED THIS PROCEDURE EXACTLY, even though it is for XP in the instructions and it worked for me. So give it a try if you can't seem to unlock yours.

1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it

2. Tri color screen will appear

3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")

4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.

5. run RUU/RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe

6. follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)

7. Allow your phone to reboot.

8. Transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe program to your phone and run it

9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.

10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.

11. Repeat step 9 and 10 once more

12. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.

13. Your phone should be SIM/Network Unlocked

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Antigen:
Hi guys!

I'm experiensing some difficulties and need Your help.

I've purchased a second hand Cingular 8525. (like new condition)

It was not unlocked and I needed to use it with other carrier than ATT.

Firstly I've written out some info about rom before flashing.

It was:

M05

S04

B06

R 1.54.07.00

G 32.86U.7020.23H

D 3.62

I did a research and found out that this is the last available update from cingular.

I went ahead.

I've downloaded SIM/CID V3a unlocker.

Run it under Vista with modded Active Sync drivers.

copied unlocker.exe to my device after flashing a patched radio and launched it. I've SIM/CID unlocked device and rebooted.

My new SIM was accepted, but it kept searching for network. Waited for 15mins with now luck.

Thought the problem was old 1.16 radio rom,

So I

have HardSPL V7 my 8525 and flashed the 1.54.30.10 which is the 2nd among stablest radios.

After flashing rebooted.

When the device starts searching "Searching...NO SERVICE" occurs, BUT sometimes The network is found and I'm able to make calls, etc.

The main problem is that it doesn't stay logged on the network, If I go away about 2-3 yards, the signal is dropped and again searching.

Even if I go outside only 2 bar signal strenth only.

I have a wizard as well and when I place them side to side wizard shows full 4 sticks of signal and the hermes only 2 and keeps loosing network.

PS I've tried almost all radios from the wiki with no luck.

Q: What prevents my hermes to receive strong signal and not to drop network.

PSS (by the time I was writing (5mins) phone stays connected with 2 bars only, while wizard shows full 4. I'm sure if I get up and take it away deeper in the room it will loose net. (i've already made experiments with that)

Please help!!!

EDIT: 10 minutes later

The phone has lost connection to network and stays disconnected for 10-15 mins already with "no service" notification.

Hi !

I have tryied the automatic method and the manual method on a french SFR v1605. No errors occured, but the phone don't accept my Orange simcard.

If I put an SFR card, it works fine, I can call ... but with my Orange card, after putting my simcode, it keeps the network, it diplays for 1 or 2 seconds the icon with signal bars on the top of the screen, and after, this icon change with an exclamation point. So it lost the signal.

I've done a lot of search on Google and here, but without find a solution. Have you got an idea ? Do you think I should change my ROM, or it's a flashing problem ? With mtty, I'have seen the phone was successfully supercided, but I don't found a method to check the unlocking (rtask b, ate1, at@simlock?40 don't work with this unlocking version's SPL )

So I triyed the the manipulation of this page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=282073&page=7), and my phone answered like described (@SIMLOCK="00" for the first commands, and by 0 for the commands like this : AT@SIMLOCK=0,1,22051978, the 2 last by 4)

hi there,

I'm a newbie in this world, so i have a few questions...

I have a SPV M3100 anda i want to use ( Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a )

I read that it work with the spl-1.09 but

in program says:

"Rom Upgrade Utility will start now, it will guide you to flash special patched

radio on your phone, make sure your phone screen shows a TRI-COLOR screen with

SSPL by Des first and HardSPL-1.40 by Olipro later."

on my phone appears:

HERM100

ipl-sspl by des

HERM100

spl-1.09.ds

in my phone appears spl 1.09 it is because the tool doesnt't work? or can i go foward? what can i do? can my device be "free" from SIM & CID?

should appears already in this stage HardSPL-1.40 by Olipr or after all the process?

regards ppl
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
You can continue on.

You said it in your post "make sure your phone screen shows a TRI-COLOR screen with SSPL by Des first". This is Soft SPL. You should've also got your current radio rom as it will be downgraded to 1.16. Install the rest and your SPL will read 1.40.

After you finish unlocking your Hermes, make sure to put Hard SPL V7 on it, found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

SSPL (AKA Soft SPL) is used to put certain things on but to maximise your protection, put Hard SPL V7 on after unlocking. You SPL should read 2.10 oli with the IPL being 1.04when successfully installed.

Cheers...:D

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] :
when i am in 2stage (install flashing hardSPL using SSPL) it says that the phone need to be conected to ActiveSync, but it has been disable by the program in the earlier step (when appears the TRI-COLOR screen) i try to conect phone again to activeSync, but i can't(just apears not conected) i'm doing anything wrong?

qazxcv, untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync. Go to bootloader on Hermes, connect to usb then run the RUU-Wrapper. The pc should still recognise it and you should be able to install everything needed to unlock.

I'm still having trouble with unlocking my 8525....

To begin with, if I bring up the bootloader (Tri-Color) screen manually by Power/OK/Reset, it shows

IPL - 1.04

SPL - 2.10.Olipro

When I run the Auto_Unlock_v3a.bat file, it tells me to look for "SSPL by Des first and HardSPL-1.40 by Olipro later."

The screen actually reads

IPL-SSPL By Des

SPL-1.09.ds

If I tell it to proceed, I get the normal screens I see when flashing a ROM, followed by a message that it is

"Verifying the information on your Hermes, please wait",

and finally

Error [260] Connection

I have tried to find a "downgrade" of my SPL to 1.40 but all I find is 1.10, and that gives me

Error [260] Update Error

I'm at a loss where to go with this. Please help.

BTW I've tried this procedure both with and without the SIM installed. It doesn't make any difference

Walt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Use the sd card method to install SPL v1.40 (romsupplied with the unlocker, also note what radio you are using as it will be changed to 1.16.xx). Look on the Hard SPL thread for sd card instructions as you're having sync problems with XP. Look on page 116, post 1160.

You have Hard SPLed your device with Hard SPL V7, hence SPL 2.10 oli.

The unlocker only works with SPL 1.40 or lower. Just remember to upgrade the SPL back to Hard SPL v7 or you may find yourself with an unrecoverable brick later.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walts:
Thanks :-)

Thanks for the help.

Last night I found I had an old zip file of Hard-SPL-V110 and decided to try it (this was before I saw your post) and that worked, it let me proceed with the unlocking, and the 8525 now works with T-Mobile. Then I upgraded to SPL 2.10.Olipro and Radio 1.48 which I had before, and everything is now working. Thank you for your help.

Now, does anyone know how to remove the Cingular logo from the front panel? I tried Formby's Furniture Refiisher, but it doesn't touch the stuff. Maybe it's an epoxy paint?
