EDIT (Apr 4th 2007):

The following is OLD info, use pof's unlocker v3a for automatic SIM unlock, reported to work good with Post Dec2nd X01HT...

Read further ONLY if you want ot unlock your phone manually.

NOTE: Radio flashing doesn't seems to work with newest X01HT ("white" or "March batch") because radio-bootloader version had changed! This also means that you can't SIM-unlock this phone version just yet...

* * * MANUAL SIM UNLOCK * * *

Basically it is very safe to flash Hermes phones using Olipro's Hard-SSPL 1.40 bootloader, especially with new devices with 0108 radio-bootloaders, like our precious X01HT! Also, it's time to elaborate this in more details...

WARNING: You are doing this on your own risk!

The procedure for unlocking and flashing:

Prevent bricking. Flash Olipro's Hard-SSPL 1.40!

This is most important step. By doing this you prevent many bricking scenarios!

1a. On new X01HT (or any other working phone), download and run Des's SSPL 1.09. Copy SSPL.exe on the phone or SD card and just run it from phone's file explorer. When you enter bootloader, you'll see 'rainbow' screen and something like "SPL-1.09Des" is displayed.

1b. Download Olipro's Hard-SSPL-V6. Make sure you disabled USB connection in ActiveSync before you continue. Plug your phone in USB port and run RomUpgrade.exe and follow the steps. Also you can choose 'Force SSPL' option in wich case you can skip step 1a, but then you have to keep ActiveSyncce USB connection on. After you finish, phone will reset itself. It you enter bootloader you should see something like "SPL-1.40.Olipro".

SIM unlock. Flashing pof's 1.18 radio only & manual unlock!

2a. Download pof's unlocker v3, NBHTool and CustomRUU_V4. Use NBHTool to extract pof's modified radio (NBH to NB option) from HERM_unlocker_v3.nbh (you will find that file in v3 unlocker archive). After extracting, delete IPL and SPL files, leave only radio. Now use NBHTool again to create signed radio file (NB to NBH), and save it to same folder as RUUWrapper.exe.

2b. Now run RUUWrapper and flash pof's radio. Enter bootloader on the phone, disable USB connection on ActiveSync. Radio should flash in 5-6 minutes and phone will reset.

2c. Insert SIM card other than SoftBank and enter unlock code: 22051978. Now your phone should be unlocked! If you want to stay with SoftBank's ROM, you'll need welcome.exe tweak to prevent idiotic SoftBank's OS SIM lock.

(Optional) Flashing other ROMs and RADIOs.

Use nbhtool and CustomRUU_V4 to upgrade. First extract ROM, ExtROM and radio files you want to flash form Shipped RUUs. If you really want SuperCID (it is not needed anymore because ExtROM can be unlocked other way) you can run pof's v3 unlocker from the phone. I do not advise doing that because it might void your warranty!

It is also wise to flash new radios separately form OS flashing.

Good luck!

I am intrested in your post.

Is it safe to flash 1.01mfg to my 1.09 bootloader?and can i do it with SSPL?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
You can flash bootloader 1.01 on CID locked phone ONLY by using SSPL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
Thank you for the reply.you said CID locked,is that mean a phone which did not have superCID?Sorry about the question,because the word:CID lockedis not usually used.Or what you mean is CID unlocked?

And I think your method mainly differ from the other is that you think we should flash the bootloader 1.01 first.And if something goes wrong,we can use the lnb command in bootloader mode to fix it,which bootloader 1.09 have not that command support.

And if you do not superCID your device,how could the OS rom HTC 2.05.255.1 you said ran in x01ht?it is not the right cid...

Am I right?thank you very much.

i tried using my brother's sim card from the philippines and it can read it, the Sim Menu appears. i'm still in japan so i can't be sure if i can get a gsm signal when i go to the philippines.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
confirm please

can anyone confirm if Zgembo's procedure will work on GSM Networks? it will be a great help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
SSPL

that's what SSPL.exe does for us, it allows us to flash any rom we want without worrying about the bootloader version. it makes the upgrader think that the hermes is SuperCID.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
@jello_e:

I did not flash HTC 2.05 OS using SSPL, but I was using bootloader 1.01, lnb commands to be precise. I flashed extracted ExtROM and OS ROM from HTC 2.05 ROM, ExtROM first! Here is the log:

Bootloader 1.01 allows us to flash any ROM, no previous SuperCID unlocking is necessary... But to get 1.01 bootloader you need "virtual" SuperCID status, and we can accomplish that using SSPL...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
Thank you for the reply.I just successfully flashed 1.01mfg with sspl.Then I pressed OK & PWR to activate it,it shows

HERM200

IPL-1.01

HERM200 MFG

SPL-1.01

on device,and when I use mtty to test,here is the result

USB>

USB>task 32

Level = FF

USB>info 2

HTCSVODAK801彌?HTCEUSB>

USB>lnb

Command error !!!

USB>

so I guess I still can not flash a os rom by using 1.01mfg,

But to get 1.01 bootloader you need "virtual" SuperCID status, and we can accomplish that using SSPL..., do you mean I still need to run sspl to flash ext rom and os rom?How do sspl create a virtual SuperCID for 1.01mfg?

And,I still had not flashed the customed radio,will that a reason for the command response above instead of level = 0 like you?

Thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
please elaborate

Zgembo, thanks for this new technique! More will appreciate it if you elaborate on the steps a little bit more. This is the stuff most of us in Japan are waiting for. I hope Pof comments on this thread as most people trust his opinions, and if the Masters here, including Zgembo, could back these steps up and confirm then we'll have a happier Hermes world!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
superCID

@Zgembo:hmmm i think this is a little off topic but i was trying to follow your procedure step by step but before going to step no 1, i tried info 2 using mtty and it says my device is SuperCID. maybe the SuperCID option in pof's unlocker v3 did stick.

note:

- i was on HTC 1.35 rom from S.Africa... (locked 1.09 X01HT)

- used pof's unlocker v3, successfully unlocked and SuperCID'ed.

- re-Flashed Softbank ROM bl 1.09 using SD Card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
I have the same idea,thank a lot for this.And waiting further comments from senior profs.This is really a SAFE way to flash X01HT,and even other phones.

It seems you should had flashed pof's unlocker radio prior to flashing from bootloader 1.01... Anybody to confirm this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
I will elaborate in details later... I understand it could be language problem for japanese users too, unfortunately my Japanese is not good enough to provide detailed info... Someone could help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
Yes that is right.Finally,I flashed the pof's radio and then the radio level becomes 0 and I can use lnb as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
i think as long as you have the hermimg.nbh and an sd card, you can always recover from the "No GSM" or "stuck on bootloader/white screen" error.

i did a do or die thing with my hermes and i think the risk paid off...

i flashed the HTC 2.05.255.1 test rom after using pof's unlocker v3 and i never had the "no GSM" error.

popped in a Docomo sim and it works...

popped in a GSM sim and the STK Menu appeared, sim manager can read the sim card... although i have no way of testing the GSM signal. the phone doesn't reject the simcard it just simply says "No Service" which is an obvious fact. now all i have to do now is go back home to the philippines and test if GSM works... or if a good soul can do what i did and is in a GSM country now, a confirmation would be nice.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
wooohoooo

not just a SAFE way to flash but a SAFE way to Unlock our darn S-ftbank phones.

how does the X01HT react to the XDA Live rom? any bugs so far?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
The only "bug" I have is when the screen is locked sometimes the soft buttons dont change to "unlock"

Also, no way to access flat-rate after April 1st.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jello_e:
same old prob...

same old problem huh... i can't believe softbank... really... off topic, but hell, it is so frustrating!!!:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qvik123:
Yeah,mine had a critical problem,when dialing use the telephone function,my PDA screen did not show numbers but just a white screen.

So I can not dial without hard keys.Till now there is no other problems.Maybe I got something wrong.

And other WM6 rom seems no problem.I've tried several of them using this method.

Everyhing works alright, going to flash it with 0.20 today.

Used v.3 unlocker/supercider before flashing. Have't experienced any issues other people described. Flashing back to original Softbank ROM worked fine(25 min). I think you should get one. Should be possible to hunt one down on Yahoo auction site: http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/...alocale=0jp&apg=1&s1=end&o1=a&mode=2&auccat=0

Hello,newcdjp

Welcome to the forum.Everyone has been a newbie.

I guess you got the infomation above without using a SSPL tool,did't you?

first you need to goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293651

to get the SSPL tool and download it to your phone and run it.Then the infomation you see will different from what you are seeing now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] newcdjp:

If you flashed pof's unlocker radio 1.16 and from your signature seems you did, just insert any SIM card other than SoftBank and enter the code (see first post) to unlock it...

Sorry as this is probably a stupid question. But if Japan doens't have GSM, how do you use this phone over there? I have a client that wants a Hermes. He Works in China but will be travelling to Japan frequently. Is there anyway to use a dopod 9000 in Japan?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
Well, most of Japan is covered with 3G signal, especially big cites areas... Only you have to check if your provider have a roaming or similar contract with any of Japanese cell-phone providers...

Clean X01HT

Hi Zgembo and POF.

I also have a post Dec. 2 X01HT.

I'm just worried about the NO GSM problem

and I'm very desperate to unlock my post Dec 2 X01HT.

I'm planning to just SIM unlock it and leave the current CID

and ROM. Can I use the V3 unlocker on my phone to use

other SIM ?

Maybe in the future, can I still flash other ROM on it?

How about the NO GSM problem?

Hope for your quick reply. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
Just follow my procedure step-by-step. It will only SIM unlock the phone, and leave CID untouched. If you want to keep your SoftBank ROM you can skip step 4, but then you'l need to install 'welcome.exe' if you want to use other SIM cards. If you have any more questions, feel free to post...

You don't really need to use v3 unlocker, but you need to flash pof's radio to allow easy SIM unlocking. You should be able to flash any other ROM since we have really good tools available for that now, thanks to Des and Olipro.

Btw, what's your x01ht version?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
I may have missed something, but I flashed it with LVSW WM6 ROM (OS only) using Hard_SPL, didnt do anything special, and it went well

I let the Ext_ROM install without any trouble

I purchased the phone at the end of December

May I have missed something ? Is it just because I only updated the OS that I had no troubles ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
Yes, using Hard-SPL is another alternative for OS flashing, but you can't flash radio that way. Only by using SSPL 1.09Des we can flash radios on PostDec2nd X01HT...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] achilles21:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
Have you tried Radio 1.38 on the X01HT by the way ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
No. I'm ok with pof's 1.16 which allows easy unlocking... I think everybody should stick to it, since only bad radio flashing can really brick x01ht for now (other things can brick it too, but it depends of bootloader you have). If we get Hard-SSPL 1.09 bootloader soon, it will be pretty safe to try flash other radios... Untill then, I prefer to stick to 1.16.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] achilles21:
Thanks for the help.

I just flash spl 1.01MFG and pof's radio by running the unlocker manually, do you happen to know where can I download the welcome.exe file?

Currently running radio 1.16~ and I'm planning to

upgrade radio ROM for the battery benefit and

better reception, and I think as you said it will be still

SIM unlock. How about 1.38.00.10,

does it behaves fine with an X01HT and Softbank network?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zgembo:
Better than 1.14, I'm sure!

So far I only tried the following radio versions; this is how they preformed on SoftBank network:

1.14 (original SoftBank) - stable but sometimes poor reception, slower 3G

1.16 (pof's) - only used for two days, seemed same as 1.14

1.27 (last version with 0107 radio-bootloader) - was ok, but drains battery fast

1.38 (combined with 2.11.255 ROM) - best experience, very stable, best reception and battery last long, really recommend this one!
