Hi! I'm considering buying a Hermes second hand here in Sweden, but the one I'm interested in is operator locked to a 3G operator. I guess that it is SIM-locked then?
I read here on the Wiki that the Swedish Hermes model (HERM200 HTC TyTN) is supposed to be unlocked, but this one apparently isn't?! I've also seen several other sellers with operator locked Swedish Hermes.
What does this mean - can it be unlocked? Can I do it myself or will it have to be sent somewhere for unlocking?
When reading the Hermes Wiki-page about unlocking it sounds like you either have an unlocked version or not, that the locked ones you have to send in for unlocking and - as I said - that the Swedish Hermes should not be locked.
Thanks in advance!

The first post in the forum you posted in has HERMES SIM UNLOCKER in the title... might be an idea checking it out.
Ok, thanks. But I thought the Wiki had the up to date information and it seems to say that you cannot unlock it yourself.
But great that I can, thanks!
If that doesnt work try http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php
The unlocker should work, if it doesnt its only £20 to get an unlock code.
Awesome, thanks again!
Then I will dare to buy a locked unit if I "have to".
Run the unlocker available here, it will be fine aslong as you READ READ READ before doing anything. good luck.

Firstly what kind of unlock are you talking about. SIM-unlock is possible for G4 and G3. Use Lokiwiz, (search for it)
If you're thinking about CID-unlock, for G4 the only solution is to pay for it. (as far as i know) www.imei-check.co.uk can provide the unlock, but you'll have to pay. Quite a lot, actually.
Downgrading from g4 to g3 is not possible, since it's hardware. That is also the reason you have to be REAL careful. Read a lot before trying to do something you're not sure about. (It's a lesson i learned the hard way.)

ok...I understood what you have said to me...i was talking about operator unlocking...for example, if it is from vodafone spanish, and i want to use it on orange romania, with Lokiwiz I can do it?...cid unlock for what does help?
G3 or G4
i have the qtek s200 in my hand...and the spl is something like this: 1.09.00.01 - it is G4?

As far as I understand your link, they provide only SIM/Network unlock, not the CID-unlock. Or may be one schould write them and ask about it?
No... Those guys at imei-check.com have the solution to unlock CID of G4, but you'll have to pay for it...
EDIT: Hey... This is my 100th Post at this forum!!
If people would read the Wiki, all the answer are in there.
as said before, you can't downgrade a G4 to a G3, its hardware.
the .co.uk website, will unlock all both the sim and the CID for both G3 and G4, however you have to pay for it, you can simunlock a G4 for free, info is in the wiki, a free CID unlock for the G4 is not available (yet, people are working on it)

Just to remind one more time, if your SPL version finishes with 0001 IT IS A HARD HEADED G4 and if it finishes with 0000 IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOVELY G3.

i understood that, but i'm curious if i can make it in english...when does apear for him cid-unlock for free?
You have to wait for free cid-unlock (for ever?)
My opinion is that free G4 cid-unlock will never come.
Because G4 is used since several months and if nothing came so far, thus the chances get lower and lower every day (source: a probability theory)!!
I suggest you take the solution mentioned above and pay for it.
up
ok...but, tell me exactly what does this CID-unlock do? for what i can use it? i just want to change the rom in english...i can't? without that cid-unlock?
alright just a quick check after cid unlock you can flash whatever you want right? even if I just wanted to flash a rom of totally different device it would do it my phone would be bricked afterwards but it would do it right?
I also could downgrade ipl/spl. Does anybody know if the prophet unlocker would work with a wizard bootloader on a prophet?
38 $ is not to much if your phone is bricked I think...^^
i-meicheck is unlock CID or use JAFWM to path CID
can jafwm also unlock cid?
no man. JAFWM can path check CID, not crack CID
Can anyone help me
My SPV M600 is in bootloader with IPL 2.10.0001 and SPL 2.G3
How to update ? how to repair it

Hi everybody!
Im still looking for my hermes and i found a good oocasion with e new, boxed and not even unlocked orange varioII spv 3100 (the guy said its 1 week old).
Since the device is still sim locked, id like to know (since i read some posts about troubles for unlocking this device) if there is any known issue about unlocking the phone for example with the new HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3 from Pof.
Another stupid question (dont have fun of me for asking it ) that i have not been able to answer for my self looking up in the forum: to sim-unlock the orange m3100, do i need to have a orange sim??can i do this without any sim in the phone?
Tnx in advance to all for ur help,
Greetings from Italy,

I Unlocked My SPV M3100 No Trouble With Pof's Unlocker. As Long As You Can Get Into Windows On The Phone Then No Sim Card Is Required.

If it is brand new, and bought from an O2 supplier....it is CID locked.....but it makes very little difference now anyway. SuperCID was only particularly useful back when we didnt have CustomRUUs and HardSPL.
The only benefit of unlocking CID now is to easily access the ExtROM, which isnt that good anyway.
Hi there. I've searched a lot already, I know you don't like us noobs to ask the same thing 4567890 times. But 've searched.
I have a G4 Cingular 8125. SIM locked to cingular of course... how can I use it with another carrier...
I already even flashed another ROM (XM6r5). Used lokiwiz 0.2b (couldn't find a newer version, but I heard somewhere there's 0.3a... just couldn't find it). But I still get the "network is locked" message at booting up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

hmmm!
Are you sure you have a G4 phone ? why I ask this is cuz lokiwiz02b doesn't work on a G4 device and SIM/CID unlock it ? only lokiwiz03 MSL works on G4 phone but can only SIM unlock code is generated and still can't CID unlock the phone,infact a G4 device cannot be at all CID unlocked,how did you upgrade to XM6r5 Rom ? plz explain accurately and post the present IPL/SPL ...?
of the phone here.
Cheers!

What exactly you want to do,if you just want to get SIM unlock code,then use lokiwiz03a to generate a SIM unlocking code,but if you want to upgrade it to any latest wm6 rom,use the 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' method,its not possible to CID unlock a G4 phone.
Download the 'WST Tool' and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID locked/unlocked status of your phone.
BTW, whats the present IPL/SPL...? of the phone. As you say you have flashed wizard_love Rom,whats the status of the phone ?
Cheers!
eh guys i just unlocked cingular 8125 with lockwiz 03. really great.
Hi guys, is there any way to sim unlock this HTC Touch 2? Not via unlocking websites? Waiting eagerly for the hard spl for this. thanks in advance to the dev team.
only one way,golden card,i'm same with you,waiting hardspl
hspl
Hey, guys! when hspl was helping with sim lock, it was so long ago. now it would not help you with this problem. HSPL doesn't unlock your phone of any operator, it will only help to install any rom you want, with any language. Sim-Unlock you can only make with the help of the web site. i unlock'ed my touch2 with the help of the site. and still waiting for hspl to delete f**ing T-Mobile ROM!

You are right - HSPL gives the right to put any ROM on your phone, it doesnt unlock SIM.
Hello Guys found this Dutch wbsite.....have not checked or any experience with them...so use at your own risk...if you need help with Dutch language let me know.....but should be fairly easy.

thanks all for the input... just tried the unlock method for touch 1. it doesn't work on the touch 2, i guess the software reads the wrong area on the touch 2. i think we'll have to wait for someone to release a upto date unlock program to read the right address from the eeprom by the help of rapi unlocking.

Dude, i unlocked mine on ebay, there are so many services for unlocking.
yeah, i know but i want to do it myself. i know about the JAU unlocking system, i missed the registration so now it's not free anymore. So the lucky ones who had registered last year had the software to unlock their free for 10 days on unlimited phone.

Unfortunately no one do some research on those topics.. I think all of the geek zone was beaten by Qualcomm **** of some market "boxes" (Furious, MxKey, Polar, etc)
missing ol' unlocking research stuff!!!
