I want to upgreade my ROM, but I keep on getting a country error, i've tried doingt he coutntry code hack, but it still gives me the same error!
Help me please?
ROM version : 1.60.00WWE
Rom Date : 12/03/03
Radio version : 1.06.01
Protocol Version : 1337.16
ExtROM version : 1.60.06
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Uh, i would really need someone to show me how to do it, I'm still very new at this.. thanks
I found that the instructions on the wiki, using itsme's tools work for me. ER2003edit doesn't reliably change the country code for me.
Remember to pick the right country code for your device, and to re-encrypt the files.

It's me? Where do I find it?
Now I am in trouble
I tried upgrading it, I thought it worked now it's stuck in bootloader mode...
Please help me!
i tried upgrading it, the country error is back and my unit keeps on displaying Serial 1.02
HElp!
See if it says "USB" when it's in the cradle (with the computer on, etc.)
Then, just run the upgrade again.
Remember though, flashing ROMs is dangerous.

Dear friends
I was tring to upgrade my iMate Pocket PC also know as Himalaya with windows2003 SE , while upgrading I faced problems, the upgarde failed and now I am just getting no display and OS too. The only message displayed is
Serial
v1.03
nothing is working please help
bye with regrads,
your unit is still okay; even better that the usb version is showing on the screen. it's simply stuck on bootloader mode. what kind of problems did you encounter resulting in the failed upgrade?
one suggestion i can give before you downgrade is to try and proceed with the upgrade to se. put your unit back on the cradle but don't expect activesync to "recognize" the device. just put it back on the cradle and rerun the upgrade to se.
same thing happened when i upgraded but to wm2005. the screen showed error and the only thing on the screen was the usb version. i simply cradled back the unit and ran the upgrade. worked.
cheers
Hi
Thanks a lot, i tired those steps before and even now I did but its not upgarding I am gettig following error as show i the attachment. Please let me know what to do
thanks a lot

oh, it appears that you have the "wrong country" id issue. i'm not entirely sure as to how to avoid this but i believe it has something to do with the correct rom version (guys, correct me if i'm wrong). where did you get the rom you used for upgrading to se? downgrading might be the only trick if there is no rom for saudi-based users...but if any chaps presently living there and were successful in upgrading their units perhaps you could share the rom version/s you used?
cheers

To overcome the Country ID Error, first you need to install this tool...
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Tools/ER2003Edit_1_4_26.zip
Open the ROM file you want to upgrade, then change the appropriate 'Operator ID' code, after this click 'Save ROM image'.
Upgrade ur device. You will no longer face the error message.
Aloha,
I am new to this type of device, so please bear with me. I tried a rom upgrade and it failed, now all my pda will do is go to the bootloader screen, but I can run diagnostic test but that is pretty much it. I cannot do a hard reset, and a soft one does not work. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this unit working again. HELP?!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Stefan
It did not work
Because my pda is stuck on diagnostics only, my computer does not recognize the USB it is attached to. If I open up the unit and disconnect the battery, will that take care of the problem?
Is there anything else I can do?
if you use a sdcard reader and follow the guide to get a rom to the sdcard
and enter bootloader it should begin to upgrade the rom by itself
Where can I get a sd cardreader? can I get one from a computer store?

For example yes.
You require a SD-Card Reader/writer and a SD-Card >= 64 MB
Stefan
sd card reader
Okay, I have a card reader. When I soft boot (the only way my pda will turn on) I get the bootloader 5.15 screen up. What next.
Oh by the way, if I did not say it before, Thank you to all who are helping me.
when you follow the guide to put the rom on the sd card
and enter the bootloader it auto upgrade your device with the new
rom
I do not understand what you mean by the guide. I have no guide.

Have you ever read a liitle bt here in the Forum or in the Wiki?
You can get a ROm from a provider of a phone, from
http://www.romkitchen.de/ or http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
Stefan
Thank you,
I found them and will try it.
Thank you.
LumpiStefan,
I downloaded and tried to run the flash, but it kept giving me cannot read file because of I/O device error. Now I am getting real flustered. Do you have any advice? , is there some setting that I have to change?
I probably should just find someone who repairs stuff like this.
Thank you for your help so far.
Jdubbs
What have you downloaded and where do you get this error message?
Stefan
I downloaded acouple actually. I downloaded the rom update 3.15.15 ENG but my system could see it because it was a ENG file. I also went to your kitchen and downloaded one of your roms with the standard stuff associated with it for my version of the rom (3.15.15).
I am going to put all of the programs I need on top a disk and take it to another computer to see if that works. My computer may be causing the errors.
Sorry Lumpistefan,
I got the error when I tried to copy the rom to my sd card during the osimage program.
I downloaded the file, extracted it, ran osimage and found the file and marked it as my source file. I used my sd card as the destination drive ( it was labeled as my E: drive on the drop down box, and hit copy. That is when I received the error concerning the I/O device.
I hope this helps you help me, I tried to remember the best I could.
Aloha
LumpyStefan,
I got it to work thanks to your help. But I still cannot get it unlocked. I installed the xdaunlock patch, but when I run it, it says unable to get code.
What setting should my phone be on? and what freq should I use for the United States?
Mahalo,
Jdubbs
Unlocking Process depends on the installed ROM and Radio Version. So what Versions do you have installed?
The freq. you should use depends on your provider. As much as i know, in the US the 900 and 1900 freq. are used.
Stefan
The ROM version I ve is 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version is 3.28.00
I tried to download the special Edition ROM, I got a bad address. Is there someplace that I can download it?
Mahalo,

Himupgradeit can't see my device. It gives information that it upgrades to such version (2.06), but what current version it doesn't show. Also native ROM upgrader displays information about current version and upgrades significantly. I tried 2 ROMs and no one can't see my PPC except native one

When you upgrade, you know (normally) what's the actual version on your pda, so who cares if the himaupgrad... doesn't show it. All you want is to do the upgrade, so do it!
BTW, what do you mean by "no one can see my PPC", if you have a RUUlog.log file containing on first line : "hh:mm:ss Connection with USB", then you know that it sees your PPC.

You see, it's not the only one problem. Also when I press Update it displays me progressbar, but nothing continues. Then the error displays without any number - just can't connect. The native firmware upgrades normally.
P.S. Sorry for my ugly English

Allright, did you put your ppc in bootloader mode ?
Press Power button and DPad together and when pushing put the stylus in the reset hole. Normally your screen should become black, you should see Serial appear and a number like 1.06
If you have that, kill ActiveSync processes running on your pc then put the ppc in its craddle, Serial should become now USB. Launch the Himaupgra...

Thanks, it works. I didn't know, that I need to put in bootloader mode

Always read the instructions before doing an upgrade. If you don't you could damage your ppc and have a dead one.

Good question! But I think this one should work:

And I would take the Extrom xda2jojo.v3.2zt from great xda2jojo!
Cheers,

Thanks, but where I can find tips how to install? I suppose each version of 03se needs different type of installing

There is a big difference when you upgrade from WM2k3 to WM2k5 or downgrade from WM2k5 to WM2k3 but between same OS, nothing changes!

Hi,

Ok. What I have now:
NO GSM - we know that
Tried to install radio roms from here, nothing. I got the information about "Checking the information...." and it is hanging like this.
I made reser and HARD RESET aswell.
I tried to install a lot. Nothing helped.

HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.04
Can anybody help me ? I tried to download mtty.exe and put all the commands (not PASTE and it still not working.
Now is 6am in Lisbon. I was sitting all that night and I am finishing writting this post.
Help if you can, regards.

Have a look on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280733
It did not help. Where I can get this Qtek rom ? Is that OK for my device ? I have VARIO II from T-Mobile.
I woul like to try instal this - DUMPED English ROM from TMobile Vario II from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_DumpedRoms
but i dont now how. There are 3 .raw files, how to put them to my phone ?
That solution didnt help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280733
What else I can do ? I was trying with QTEK rom and a got white screen on the phone and 0% on the computer. It was hanging. I tried 5 times. Then I tried to install the Radio Rom from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
I choosed all of them. Nothing. All of them are hanging on:
Chencking the information on your device... Please wait..
Then there is a screen to update. After long time. So when I press the button is still the same info. Checking the information on your device... Please wait..
And its hanging. When I reset to bootloader again the soft telling me:
This ROM Upgrade Utility does not design for your device.
Please get probper ROM Upgrade Utility and try again!
Where can I get the radio version 1.05 for T-Mobile Vario II ???????????
Is there possibility to download from somewhere ?
Or maybe I should try other solution ?
Read "problem 5" here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
Yes, I was tying point 5 few times. The problem is, I can connect through mtty.exe without any problems, but after soft reset, I am pressing POWER and OK button and going to bootloader mode again, and when I am trying to flash the extracted radio ROM (i tried all of them = 4) and there is a problem. nothing is working. I am waiting and waiting, and there is only info: Checking your device information or something like that. What can I do ? Sorry for my English guys.
Instead of flashing an extracted radio image try to flash a normal shipped rom (if possible matching your cid). Capture the process using usb monitor to see where exactly it fails and which error you get.
Where can I download

No rom matching your cid is available then, use the TyTN 1.18 rom.

I tried that ROM 2 times, once I plugged with holding camera button and second time without. I made monitor of QTEK rom aswell, because its the one which is changing phone screen from red green blue stripes to completly white. But nothing else is doin...
A attaching logs in zip file below. I have 3 files from each session, I dont know which are correct, 2 of them i saved and 1 is exported.
What do you think ?
I used USB-monitor from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/
very weird... usb seems not working but for what you say bootloader seems to be ok. Are you sure this was after patching the radio with universal unlocker? it seems totally a different problem :-$
I guess you'll have to wait until t-mob releases a ROM matching your CID and then flash it using the hermimg.nbh sd-card flashing method.
You can also try to connect to it via serial, I have no experience on that, but a search on these forums might tell you how...
keep us updated
How long I have to wait ?
Should I go to T-Mobile when I will be back to Scotland and tell them what I did or what ? Did I lose my warranty ? Do you know approximately how much they will charge me for flashing my phone ?
Do I really have no chances to repair it by myself ?

Until t-mobile releases a rom with your cid... it can be today or next year, I don't know.

I don't think you lost the warranty. They usually charge about 100 eur for flashing it back in the service centre. They do it by inserting a diagnostics sd card, but we don't have it for the Hermes

You can try flashing over serial port, and you can try sd-card flashing, but for sd-card flashing you need a rom matching your CID first.
Eureka!!!
Finally I made my device working again!
And I dont have simlock !
After trying everything.... ufffff.
THX !!!!!!
1) I downloaded ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.zip
2) Reset my phone in bootloader mode.
3) Plug USB cable.
4) Run HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.
5) After 20 min. my phone said ELO to meeeee He did not have simlock when was saying that.
YE YE YE
That was simple. If you have any Hermes radio problem, try that first - HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v1.
Will be more often here, forum seems to be really interesting.
YO!
Yipie
Glad it worked
Hi,
I'm trying to make my Vodafone 1605 VPA SuperCID, but when I run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe I get a Windows error ...not a valid Win32 application.
I'm guessing this is something to do with my laptop hardware because I've had a problem loading other software due to the Due chip (Dell Latitude D820 - Centrino Duo etc).
Any advice appreciated - but be gentle with me 'cos I'm new to upgrading Windows mobile.
You actually copy that file onto your phone and run it from there, not the computer.
That should do the trick!
Thanks for quick reply - it shows how much I've got to learn!!!
Ran the file from my phone and got the "SUCCESS" message but when I checked using mtty.exe the phone still reports locked to vodafone.
I'll have a play and see what I come up with - hopefully not frying the phone in the process

You _must_ be running the unlocker's patched radio 1.16 on your phone when you run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, otherwise it will report "SUCCESS" but do nothing.
Thanks Pof, but I don't know what to do next...
my bootloader screen shows IPL-1.00 and SPL-1.04.
My device info shows:
ROM version: 1.20.161.6
ROM date: 08/02/06
Radio version: 1.03.06.00
Protocol version: 32.34.7010.01W
I've read most of the WIKI (and even understood most of it) and also as many posts to this forum as I could.
Also, the 'available ROMs' page shows that this is the only ROM that Vodafone UK have produced and, bacause another poster has done the same thing with the same hardware and ROM I guessed I shouldn't have too much problem.
I think that as a beginner I must be doing something wrong or misunderstanding some of the lingo but would appreciate any more help which will get me away from the Vodafone ROM - and who knows, as I learn I may even be able to help some others later
Cheers, and thanks for all the informative posts

Follow instructions here, after flashing patched rom your radio version should show 1.16, then run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone and wait the "success" message. After that you should be SuperCID, if not, read the unlocking thread... it has all been answered before.
OK, finally worked it out - all I had to do was RTFW - ALL of it, not just the parts I think are relevant.
Cheers for the help, I'm sure I'll screw up later and need more lelp but I've learned loads already...
Now trying to work out which ROM to use (except Vodafone) and hoping not to brick the phone in the process )
