Procedure to upgrade bootloader - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Who can explain, the upgrade procedure to substitute Himalaya bootloader with the ones available in .raw files at the wiki ftp server?
Or give a link where it is explained. I didn't succeed to find.
I'm with 1.02. Any advantage or disadvantage for other versions 1.01, 1.03, 1.06.
I read the higher the version, the hardest to downgrade a ROM version. Does someone confirm it?
Thanks

then if you really want i can post here the exact procedures..
but you need to think a thousand times
just remember
I already said:
in case guys you downgrade your bootloader and its dead please dont post saying
"HELPPPPP .. my device is DEAD i couldnt even go to BOOTLOADER"
instead go to the nearest service center and let them fix it for you
they will do something like this (its for iPAQ 3600 but you will get the idea)

Matchin ROM for Orange SPV M3100

can anyone tell me where to find a Matching upgrade ROM for my Orange SPV M3100(other than orange roms) xda download page doesn't work i think!
and can my device be updated to WM6 someday(future)?
thnx
There are at this time no ROM matching the Orang CID. But you may be able to flash your device with any rom available on the wiki page; just keep in mind that you will not be able to go back to an orange rom, as there are none available yet. Take also good care with rom having a bootloader greater or equal 1.06; once you flashed your device with one of those you won't be able to flash with anything else but an orange ROM !
There are lot of infos about all that issue on this board, a wizely use of the search tool can give you plenty of infos

Unless he uses V3 of the IMEI-CHECK unlocker as it makes his CID=SuperCID and his SECLEVEL=0. So he could then load any ROM he wants and downgrade from 1.06 when he wants.
yes i used imei check unlocker but dont know which 'V' ws it. anyway i searched all da forum and da wiki,got som link and they were BAD i mean they didnt work.
so this ftp links are no good for me (at least for now i think).coz of that i need a different url to download the rom(s)
thnx fun & jokinawa
You were not at the right place.
Here are all the available roms: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you want to be sure to have a super CID device, just reapply the imei tool with the the latest unlocker.
plus i have the 1.04 bootloader so i think i dont wanna care about the Orange CID,and the main problem is the links in the wiki doesnt work!!!!i was at the right place but after clicking DOWNLOAD link it takes long time to response and browser returns an error massege,
and can you me help with this upgrading thing after i get the rom somhow?

If you look at the IMEI-Check program it has the "V" in the name. Mine is M3100v3cUnlock.exe. That is a Version 3 flasher.
Hope that helps.
V2
My unlocker was V2,so does that mean i cant upgrade my rom after the bootloader is 1.06?how can i make my device Super CID?and where can i find a AKU 3.0 updated WM5 ROM?

Uhuh... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284557
Seems to be a common problem....
Also looks like only way out is to flash a matching CID rom, however I cant try this as there is no released UK M3100 rom.
My issue was slightly different, but the end result seems to be the same. Confirm that you've got a ROM with the same CID. However querying the CID (info 2 in bootloader check wiki for more detail) returns bizzare "corrupt"? looking CID in which case even the "correct" rom for the device wont work....
Whats your CID..... Is there a matching CID rom available, and what happens when you try it. You'll probably need to flash from the bootloader.
If that fails, its return to base for a reflash....(that'll be chargeable....)
POF or some of the other bright sparks may be able to revive, but I've tried all tricks so far.....

correct. it requires to be able to flash the radio stack in order to unlock it, but the radio stack of that new rom seems to be read only and flashing another radio stack is not possible at this time.
I could not find in google as well but get somewhere else with slighly different filename. Not sure the same one or not. Can somebody please confirm,

It's possible.
Hello I'm french, first sorry for my bad english.
I just bought a V1605 from england that I have immediatly unlocked.
I have tested French qtek ROM 1.18.256... but it's very slow and there are many bugs, after that I have tested a WWE qtek ROM 1.18.416... with bootloader 1.06 just for see if TCPMP was better and it is!
But I wanted the last Qtek ROM, so I have put the original ROM of my vodafone in order to downgrade bootloader to 1.04, it's very simple!
Then I've installed the latest QTEK ROM 1.35 with bootloader 1.09, and now after few very fast manipulations , I have bootloader 1.04 and radio 1.20.
So I can test every ROMs I think...
For the moment, I can see that this ROM (1.35) is very fast, and TCPMP works better but for the video it is the same than vodafone 1.20 or tytn 1.18.416 .

1.04 to current boot rom?
After downgrading to 1.04 and doing all the upgrades, is there any reason to reupgrade 1.04 to a more current boot rom?
hi there,
seems i`m not able to downgrade after after flashing the 1.35 rom. my bootloader remains 1.09 and the downgrade_spl (1.8mb rar) tool doesn`t work properly. i always have to recover my device when i try to run the upgrade. is there something i do wrong or is my downgrade_spl the wrong one?
thanks jammerlappen
additional questions: am i able to flash a) other radio roms b) complete roms with bl 1.09 and supercid?

Hermes Downgrading help please

My T mobile branded Vario II fell off my lap yesterday (in its case) Theres not a scratch on it and its only 4months old. Later on i had loads of missed calls and then realised it wont ring or vibrate or play mp3's.
Im currently running one of HTC's Roms, SPL-1.09 is my bootloader and im not sure how to reflash with the original T-mobile rom before i head back to the shop to see about a replacement
I keep getting a invalid vendor id, and from reading posts on the forums i know i need to do something with the cid so i can flash back down to the original rom.But im getting confused between a super cid and a cid? as what ive found below just mentions cid and not super cid.
Is this the file i need? HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a ? i just run the .bat file then install the orginal t mobile rom as normal?
What im basically asking is the above right to ahead with? as i just need some reassurance as if i cant blag one under warranty then ill have to use my insurance which as its my second claim in 6 months has a excess of £60
Yes i have looked on the forums for hours but cant see any info.
Thanks in advance should anyone help
EDIT well ive run the unlocker and supercid'd it but it still wont let me flash with the original t mobile rom?
ERROR:260 Update Error
im getting the above error?
Is all I will say is click on the mrvanx guide in my signature.

thanks guys i will try the above. if not i think ill "loose" the phone
Hi Gavin01,
Good luck with the downgrade - I'd be interested to know how it goes. I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and so far I've put HardSPL 7 and Radio ROM 1.41 onto it. I'm just trying to decide which WM6 ROM I want to try out
Anyway, I have at the back of my mind that I don't really know how to downgrade it in the case of a warranty claim. The MrVanx guide to downgrading WM5 looks ok, but I'd love to know how to put the radio rom back (I guess this would just be the reverse of the upgrade), but then finally taking taking HardSPL off. In fact I'd vote for a guide on it - would write it myself but I have to confess I'm rather a newbie to the world of HTC upgrades....
Cheers,
sparky
I have the same problem
I´d like to downgrade to original softbank settings. But they only accept warranty issues if you have the original cid? , right?
So putting the old rom back on is not my problem, "un-super-cid" it is.
I need help please too
Hello,
please excuse, but i have a question and i will not open a new threat.
I use tytn. I have installed the Radio Version 1.40 and the Black 3.01 Rom. I have used HardSPL and when i go into the bootloader i have Herm200 IPL 1.04 and Herm200 SPL 2.10 OliPro. My question is: it is not possible to go back to wm5 with the installer RUU Hermes 1.18....-Qtek_Ger_Ship. Because in this installer is a Radio Rom. When i will use it, i lost my Radio and i have No GSM. The only way to go back is with MrVanx Hermes downgrade guide. Is this correctness ??
( This is what i think after using the help-function and the wiki )
When this is right, so Please Please, can a specialist please build a litte .exe-File so that i can make a downgrade to my mw5? Sorry, i am not idle, i am not able to to this. And please excuse my english. I will say say thank you very very much for your helping. With the best regards from Berlin say Christian

Hard-SPL for Athena - Development

hi guys,
I don't currently have my Athena yet, but Midget_1990 sent me anSPL to work on and I've successfully (well, pretty damn sure I have) patched it to see your device as SuperCID and to accept unsigned code.
If anyone out there can get on IRC so we can try flashing the new SPL via pdocwrite then we can get somewhere, I'll need you to help me find what address the damn is stored at of course but that shouldn't take too long to do.
Cheers,
Olipro.
Ok, I have to ask, and look dumb...
What ARE the IPL and SPL ?
im ready...if you want
MSN: [email protected]
I am desperately in search to unbrick my ameo. So i am willing to test this. I send you pm with my messenger details. Or pls send back pm on how to contact you to test this.
Ok, here's an update:
Thanks to the co-operation of a rather friendly italian chap, I've found the blocksize and address of the SPL on the DoC, so now it's just a case of someone flashing my patched one via itsutils and then getting in touch with me to see if it really has flashed.

With the cooperation of a kind soul (and risk-taker) I have been able to get my SPL on their device and it works. we're home free boys
pls can you give us a download and instructions? I would realy like to unbrick my device. So if you could be so kind.

your device can't be unbricked. you need access to Windows Mobile.
but i still have acces to boatloader and my device is still flashable it will only give me vendor id error. only problem is i can't get past second tmobile splash screen. So when I flash your spl I should be able to flash other rom afterwards I think?
nope, not at all.
However; consequently; I flashed my SPL to someone's Athena tonight who didn't have the device SuperCID'd and with it the WM6 ROM flashed. so it seems it works as I anticipated.
This means that it should be possible to flash an unlocked radio with it and remove your simlock for free
