I am trying to do method 5 but the new file (mtty.exe) does not change to usb in the command part. If im correct it should say USB>.............. but it says COM>............. does anyone know how to change it to usb.

Hi guys,

I'm kind of worried *as a newbie when it comes to this kinda stuff*. I've been reading this thread but haven't exactly found what I was looking for:

I've run hardSPL on my device to get it to SPL-2.10.Olipro and then I flashed it with a HTC WM5 ROM, everything works perfectly.

Now I wanna check out WM6, but I thought my device was SuperCID. SuperCID devices are more flexible than hard-spl'ed ones, though so it seems after reading this thread. Now I still think my device should be SuperCID, should I run Pof's unlocker to turn it into SuperCID? Is there still a bricking-risk when it's not yet SuperCID but you DO try to flash it into any rom?

My question might be bogus, but like I said, I'm a newbie on this area!

Please help?

Cheers!

Problems updating to radio 1.40

I would like to thank pof for all his work. The man is truly a genius. I recently updated my ROM per the HTC site and was a little hesistant to unlock my phone for fear of bricking it.

I am so glad I did. The steps are so easy. Unzipped the file, ran the auto bat, and within a few minutes my phone was unlocked!!! I put in my friend's non-Cingular sim and was able to call out and make calls.

I took the next step and ran the cab to unhide/write to the ext_ROM. I now have 10mb of extra space!!!

Everything is going perfectly...until today that is. The unlocker puts the radio back at 1.16. I attempted to update the radio back to 1.40 but have been unsuccessful.

- I downloaded the RAR reader

- Ran the .NET install

- Uploaded the 1.40 rar file to my phone

When I try to run the 1.40 rar update I get the following error:

File or assembly name 'system version=2.0.0.0, culture=neutral,PublickKeyToken=B77a5c561934e089', or one of its dependencies, was not found

Thinking that it was a bad .NET install, I try re-installing, and then deleting and re-installing, and then re-installing again. Still no luck.

Has anyone seen this type of error before?

The SIM and CID unlock works great. I just now need to update my radio to make everything "perfect" on my phone.

Thanks for any help.

btw let me know if I am posting this in the wrong area
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] somepeon:
Everything's perfect !!!

Long day + lack of coffee + lack of sleep = one huge brain fart

Everything's perfect in the world. Ran the update from my desktop instead of the device and got my radio updated.

I want to thank everyone on the boards for their contributions, advice, and wisecracks. It can be intimidating at first but it gets really addictive once get a basic understanding of how things work.

can i use Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker version v3a to unlock my mda vario II with

Rom: 1.21.111.3

Radio: 1.05.02.00

Protocol: 32.36.7010.04H
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] v0id:
Joejoe66,

I've unlocked my device (also mda vario II (dutch edition)) and flashed it with an english cooked rom (black edition) with this tool, so I'm assuming its possible ;)

One thing though is that I've flashed my device with HardSPL by olipro to be able to unlock it in the first place, then I flashed it with a plain HTC WWE ROM.

So my situation was:

1) Run hardSPL to get SPL (bootloader) to 2.10.olipro

2) Flash it using HTC WWE ROM (WM5)

*At this point I read some disussion on the forum stating that my point 1 would NOT really unlock my device*

3) Unlock it using POF's CID/SIM unlocker

4) Flash it using JasJamming's Black Edition ROM (WM6)

Again, I don't know whether or not this was actually nessecary! Probably don't need to 'unlock' it twice, but I was merely following directions. Could anyone please confirm this?

Cheers and gl!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
Who's your ISP? Where are you trying to download from (i.e. work, home, etc.)

Are you behind a hardware firewall (i.e. ADSL/DSL router)?

Some places in the world still think they can police your access to parts of

the internet so that could be the reason you're not getting through. :(

many thanks for the patience
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AquiEsta!:
Well, I doubt Portugal is one of those countries that blocks access to the

"free" world so I would suspect it could be your router. Some routers can

block some websites while other don't seem to have any problems. I've seen

a few Netgear routers (FVS328's with updated firmware) just seem to not

be able to get certain pages to download. It just could be your problem as

well even if you have a different model and brand.

Make sure you at least leave your software firewall up and running and by

pass the hardware router to try the download. This is assuming that your

router is a stand alone piece from your ADSL/Cable modem. That might just

fix your problem. If it does then you need to allow that URL to have "open"

access in the router's access page. See your router's manual for more info.

I hope that works for you.

It could be the "welcome.exe" file in \windows that's causing the problem.

There are fixes for this but some work only some of the time and the ones

that do work will require you changing your OS ROM which sounds like you

don't wish to do.

Do a Google search for "welcome.exe" and go from there.

Trying to Unlock Cingular 8500

Hi,

I am a Palm Treo user and have recently picked up a Cingular 8500 phone. Its is exactly same as Cingular 8525 except that it does not have a camera.

I have read this thread very carefully. The very first post clearly lists the models which fall in the HTC Hermes Category. In that list I could not find mention of Cingular 8500, though Cingular 8525 is listed there. Therefore can anyone guide me if it is fine to try unlocking Cingular 8500 also using this utility. I just want to ensure that I do not brick my first windows based phone.

I have read the wiki a couple of times and I have followed the instruction in the unlocker, but it always gets me the same results. It comes up with screen that says "SimLock" at the top and wans me to enter a code. This keeps me from doing anything on my phone, until I remove the SIM then I can use the PDA. Anyone have any ideas :confused:

I chose the manual process in the instructions given. Worked perfectly! Good work man! Donation gladly sent!!

After the treatment I received from Cingular (surly is the best description I can come up with), I was willing to pay a $175 cancellation fee and an additional $250 to Amazon (also a bunch of losers) for not completing my service contract. I'm now back with T-Mobile, who while is thus far still lacking in terms of USA 3G and decent hardware options (the "new" Wing has half the processor of my 8525), at least still knows a thing or two about customer service. I pray for their UMTS deployment and a T-Mobile version of the HTC Kaiser soon...

Radio conflict with schaps WM6 ??

Excuse me if I ask for something stupid but I PROMISE I made a serions search on this thread before posting...

To put Schap's latest(Schaps_WM6_3.30c), I had to upgrade to Hard-SPL-V7 and radio

As far as I can understand what I read using pof's unlocker will change both the radio and the SPL.

So how is it all supposed to work after that ? is it definetely incompatible ?

Or can I after sim unlockigng get back aganin and redo the schap's upgrading process ?

But then, I upgraded again with the tut of Mrvanix to 1.41, and the ExtROM is again locked. (I guess, because the 2.10 olipro Bootlader?)

How can I upgrade?

With the HardSPL-1.40 of this Thread I can upgrade to Radio 1.41?

Hermes Orange unlock code

This is just to say how i resolved an unlock code request after unlocking a new orange hermes phone. The phone was an unwanted upgrade given to me but it came without a sim card. I had read previously it was awkward to upgrade the ROM after unlocking, so i decided to upgrade first and thereafter unlock the phone. Everything went as according to plan as per the instructions however everytime i put in an O2 simcard it kept requesting an unlock code. After many hours of reading the site and not finding an answer and just before posting for an answer to this dilemma; i thought i would try an original orange sim card which i borrowed, the phone then worked perfectly without any codes being requested. I performed the unlock procedure while the simcard was inside, once again it proved to be successful and then swapped the simcard for the O2 and everything worked perfectly.

So i thought i would let you know, incase someone has the same issue.

Many thanks to pof for the unlocker.

Hi there.

I was wondering if you could help me please?

I have a problem with unlocking my xda trion. It stopped at 85% with an error, i tried rebooting, I tried the recovery but that didnt work. I tried to start again but all i have is the tree colour bands on the phone and the software says the phone is not connected when it is.

Then I performed a hard reset. But it just comes back with a red band with herm100 ipl-1.00 and herm100 spl-1.11. Then green band and blue band then a white band with serial in it and when usb is plaged in it say usb.

I had the 1.40 radio upgrade and have done the unlock as I am heading to Japan in two days and wanted a phone. I read this thread a bit, but to me it is hard to determine just what is being said on this thread. I believe it is using an external ROM mounting feature or something like it, but I am clueless.

I had no problem unlocking my black X01 few months back, but this device literally taken yesterday is somehow differentthough look the same.

Actually, got it working with my Rogers SIM card but I had to Hard Reset the

X01HT and re-install Dutty's WM6 v2 all over again. Of course you will have to

set your SoftBank 3G "open" connection up or you will have no e-mail, 'net,

etc. I'm so pissed at SoftBank that I couldn't careless now that I don't have

the data connection working. On the plus side I don't have to worry about

hitting the IE or e-mail buttons on my phone when putting the handset into

its case and ringing up a HUGE BILL!!!

Besides, there are Free Wi-Fi spots ALL-OVER Tokyo anyways and so I hardly

miss it. The wife has the same handset in white so this saves me time because

she HAS to call me. I really haven't gotten into this 'text messaging' craze so

I guess it's no loss for me.

I really just love using the X01HT to listen to my tunes with my MOTO S9

headset on the commute, but I digress. :)
