Hello everyone,
I need to unlock my boot loader.
Today when i want to flash my OS, and I type l c:\toto.bin my device said "Not allow operation!".
So i need to find a way to unlock this bootloader.
My current bootloader version is 1.06 and I have an Imate Pocket PC (like Qtek 2020).
Thanks

Hi
Im hopeing someone can help me I know this issue has probably been discussed loads of times and im a muppet for doing it, I was looking at different ROM's for my Orange M3100 and thought I would go for the IMATE JASJAM ROM so I could get MSN messenger .... I unfortunatly selected the TELSTRA 1.06 Bootloader ROM and downloaded instead of the 1.04 ( I should have read the posts on this ROM before!). Now I am stuck in bootloader 1.06 and as I have read the only way to get back to 1.04 is to flash with a ROM that is the same as my carrier (Orange UK).... the only Orange ROM is the Romanian one thats just been put on the WIKI, I have tried with this but its coming up Vendor ID error... if anyone can help or tell me how I can go back to 1.04 id be grateful? if not do I just have to wait until orange UK bring out a ROM with bootloader 1.06 ????
Thanks a lot ! James UK
Same problem with Cingular bootloader 1.06
I've the same problem with Cingular 1.34 bootloader 1.06, I try to downgrade with same bios CID (CWS__001 as I read on this forum) to bootloader 1.06 but I receive an error "WRONG VENDER ID" (also if i leave connected my PDA and I restart RUU utility it give me the same error)
I've also tried to install another vendor bios with bootloader 1.06 as suggested but I receive the same error message!!!

Unfortunately, you're stuck unless you either a) wait for a bootloader for your CID or b) pay the $38 to do the super-CID unlock. There's a thread on that stickied, so if you decide to do it, help them out by doing the usb capture.
Thanks... I have already unlocked the device with IMEI-Check.co.uk do you mean this? If I have unlocked it then do you think I should run IMEI check again on the device and it may unlock the CID ? cheers, James
If you run the imei tool again (with the latest version of theire software) it will reverse your bootloader to 1.04 and make your device super CID
Hi, I'm a newbie here.
I have great interest for purhcasing Softbank X01HT.
At the beginning, I proposed to flash the rom to English verison.
But recently, I see some messages that we cannot downgrade the bootloader 1.09 to 1.04 anymore.
Therefore, I would like to know ........
Is anyone working on the downgrade method for bootloader 1.09 ?
If so, what's the status now ?
Can I expect there will be a new solution coming soon ?
So many questions ..... hope someone can answer me. Thx !
1.09 to 1.04
ok, what I understood is :
1- you can download from 1.09 to 1.04.
see :
Bootloader
The bootloader is the place where you can change the low-level software parameters and some hardware parameters of the Hermes, change and read the ROM and provides information about it.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom.
The bootloader version is shown for a short amount of time when booting the device. You'll see "SPL-1.0X"
Versions
* 1.04
There is a bug in bootloader 1.04 wich allows you to flash any ROM without a CID check. You have to be in bootloader mode to use this bug.
It's possible to upgrade the RadioROM. You can even flash a patched RadioROM wich is needed to unlock your device.
* 1.06
The bug from version 1.04 is fixed. Without downgrading to a Shipped ROM with bootloader 1.04 that matches your CID it's not possible to flash a ROM with a different CID.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.
* 1.09
You can't downgrade to bootloader 1.04 by flashing a Shipped ROM. However imei-check.co.uk is able to downgrade the bootloader.
There was a solution posted on this forum, but it was stolen from imei-check and was removed. If you are not willing to pay you have to wait until another solution is developed.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.
"There was a solution posted on this forum", the remaining of it is here, what can be shown :
1. Go to Google, search for DownGrade_SPL.rar (rq : does not work anymore)
2. Connect your tytn to PC and wait until activesync completed.
3. Run M3100v3cUnlock.exe. Once you see checking device.... in DOS box and whilte screen on your tytn, close the program (Dos box) immedaitely.
4. Run ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the japanese wizard to complete the boot loader downgrade.
5. Reboot your tytn and then put it into bootloader mode agian, you should see SPL-1.04. Great!
6. Download pof's HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a from
ftp://xda:[email protected]_v2a.zip
7. Flash the patched radio rom 1.16, then Reboot.
8. Copy HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe a small PPC app pof wrote into your TYTN memory.
9. Open File Explorer, run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your TYTN and wait about 1 minute until it shows up a completed message. Reboot again!
10. Download mtty.exe from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mtty.exe
11. Disable ActiveSync, and then run mtty.exe, choose usb connection; Enter. You should see USB> prompt. Type in: info 2 . When you see 00000000 or SuperCID string. You are safe and ready to upgrade to the latest TYTN 1.35 Rom with bootloader 1.09.
2- BUT the trick is that it is impossible to SIM unlock even if you downgrade Right now there is no solution, and I don't know when or if there will be. I hope there will be one indeed...
3- you can still change the language, but it is limited in two ways :
for the good news :

for the bad news :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284765
and a good news in process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284765&page=5
but I don't get exactly how it works...
For more information look around the board, or I will try to retrieve the info.
take care,
I'm looking forward buying the same device

As dam has explained, some time ago we published a method to downgrade the bootloader to 1.04 but this method used imei-check copyrighted files and had to be removed from the forum, some people downloaded the files and it has appeared on chinese and russian sites after we removed it from XDA-Developers, but this method violates imei-check copyright and should not be used, if you are a legal person and want to downgrade the bootloader now you should BUY imei-check unlocker.
I started working on a project to Downgrade SPL by modifying HaRET tool with the help of some other people, we managed to put IPL on ram and jump to it, but we still haven't managed to do it with SPL (the device hangs when copying to memory). Now I'm quite busy and can't dedicate all the time I need for this, but will try to finish it once I know how to copy the SPL correctly... if someone has experience in this and want to help, let me know and I can send you the source of modified haret, but it's still a lot to do... once this is finished there will be a free method to downgrade bootloader, now there isn't.
When bootloader is downgraded to 1.04 you can change the ROM because it has a bug where the CID is not checked if you run the RUU twice. You can also use HERMES SIM & CID unlocker when you have bootloader 1.04. But on softbank x01ht version sold after 1 December 2006 it is not possible to SIM & CID unlock even if you have bootloader 1.04 because the radio is read only and can't be patched. AFAIK no one has knowledge on how softbank did this, and there is no known method to circumvent this yet.
ok. it says this in the tri-color screen:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro
ok. so i download the Hard-SPL-V7 and it works. and it says that up there on my boot loader. but what is my bootloader version? 1.40? or 1.04? and what is this talk of the SPL-2.10.Olipro. how do i get that? im confused
oh another thing. why does it freeze on the GSM- part when i use the SDcard method? anyone? help thank you
the latest bootloader is 2.10.Olipro (the latest official one I've released for general consumption)
to flash it, please do remember NOT to put your phone in bootloader and to have activesync synced.
IPL is Initial Program Loader, and is generally not too exciting.
SPL is Secondary Program Loader and this one handles flashing etc and is the one with the exciting crap you need to patch.
have you been able to flash GSM with SD or somehow else ?
I ve asked how to fix it about 100 times on this forum and my device is still bricked
