The program XDAunlock doesn't get then unlock code (message: see above). What can I do?
Which ROM-Version have you installed?
Try follwing this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UnlockWiz

Yes, I tried this program too, but it doesnt run, message: " 'XDA-developers-SER-v12' is not a valid pocket pc-program". My ROM-version is 3.14.16 GER.
With this ROM VErsion you can not use the unlock tool. You have to flash a new ROM to your device, or stay locked.
For flashing the XDA-Developers ROM, connect your Device via ActiveSync to your PC and run the XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe on your PC. That will flash a new ROm and on the first boot it will unlock your device....

Great! It works! Thank you very much!!
This is a patched radio ROM that can be used to remove the Operator SIM lock and CID lock from HTC Hermes based telephones.
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
Warning:
If you run this upgrade on any other device than HTC Hermes, you will most probably render it DEAD!
Disclaimer:
This is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. It may invalidate your warranty.
Full caution is advised.
Website:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Install Instructions:
Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 you'll need to downgrade the bootloader]
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
Wait patiently.
Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
Process is (hopefully) complete!
If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q - How do I know my bootloader version?
A - When you are on the tri-color screen check the number after SPL-X.XX
Q - How do I downgrade to bootloader 1.04?
A - See this comment. I'm working on an altnative method for all devices, but it's not ready yet.
Q - What is the CID and how do I check which one I have?
A - See this comment.
Donations:
I spent some time and money developing this free unlocker, there's no need to pay me for that, but donations are always appreciated. You can find a paypal button to donate on the unlocker website.
Thanks to:
buzz_lightyear, itsme, vijay555, arc, Asukal, machinagod - for the wise advice and support
everyone else in xda-developers.com
History:
v2a [14-11-2006] - bugfix release, thanks to all who reported the problems!
(hopefully) fixed bug where unlock code has to be entered manually
(hopefully) fixed bug where SuperCID was not kept after rom upgrades in some cases
v2 [12-11-2006] - updated to patched radio 1.16
unlocking software provided (HERM_Unlock_v2.exe): thanks buzz for the source of UNI_Unlock_v1 ;-)
SuperCID is now kept after rom upgrades
v1 [05-11-2006] - patched radio 1.13
unlock manually
Notes:
- v2a makes SuperCID sticky after ROM upgrades, those who used v1 or v2 and are still running the patched radio only need to run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on the device to keep SuperCID forever.

You can belive, it works with the MDA Vario II. It should work with all devices of the "HERMES" class.
God job! and how to downgrade bootloader
Hello pof,
I can downgrade bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 without Radio patch.
Using files:
1) HERMIMG_IPL1.01_SPL1.04_ONLY.nbh ( Special thanks to pof.)
Get this file from xda-forum ftp-site.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Technical/unlocker-reversed.zip
2) EnterBL.exe, GetDeviceData.exe, ROMUpgradeUt.exe, RUU.dll, RUUUI.dll
Get these files from any Shipped_Complete_Updates.
( Run Updates and getting files from temporary folder.)
3) All files in the same folder.
How to:
1) Conect Hermes to your PC
2) Run M3100v3cUnlock.exe without key-file ( no need payment.)
3) When key-file required, close the M3100v3cUnlock window.
4) Run ROMUpgradeUt.exe
Caution:
It's only bootloader downgrade. When anybody get error with
Free SIM unlocker and bootloader 1.06, you can try this method
before unlocking.

I succeeded with first solution for downgrading bootloader 1.06 to 1.04
but worry about sim lock , so I use this solution to unlock sim lock and succeed.
thanks POF for your kindness.
Damn pof .. this is crazy .. YOU ROCK!!!
Why is the unlocker tied to the RadioROM upgrade? Anyway you can make the unlocker available by itself?
Vodafone Spain
Hi All
Thanks POF for your hard work here. Question: I have an original Vodafone Spain 1605, I haven't made any Rom/Radio Update, how should I proceed?
My HTC info:
Rom Version: 1.20.164.3
Radio Version: 1.03.06.00
Protocol Version: 32.34.7010.01W
I don't understand if I need to update my Radio version first or just follow your process.
Thanks very mcuh
Excellent - congratulations!
Nice work pof! Hermes=OWN3D!
I am flashing right now and will post results. I am on Dutch T-Mobile Vario II with original shipped ROM (Dutch)
I am getting exited
Does this mean that if we keep this patched radio then we always are going to have an Super CID device ?? That basically means replacing the included Radio.nbf with this patched one on any ROM package Or am I missing something ?
Also is this a stable ROM. My VARIO II has/had 1.05.02 ?
Hi,
I had successfully used ShellTool to load Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 on my Xda Mini S (G4 CID-Locked)
But then I became inquisitive and I tried loading the WM6 Business Edition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302934
The process interrupted abruptly as the activesync connection broke (Don't know why that happened.) However I restart the device and now it is stuck on the initial blue O2 screen displaying IPL, SPL, GSM and OS information.
Now it is mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
That if the device does not boot I should restart it in the bootloader (which I did), connect the usb and run RUU. But the download (Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.rar) contains newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe and on running that I get the CONNECTION ERROR. I think this is happening because in bootloader, actyivesync cannot connect.
Sorry I am a novice in this... please help.
Regards.
Activesync will not connect from the bootloader. This is not a problem. Activesync is not needed to flash your phone. You just need the USB connection in the bootloader. As long as you see the letters USB in the corner you can flash.
Did you use the shelltool in the attempt to load the other WM6 rom? And if ActiveSync is required to use the shelltool then you may have to flash an official carrier rom in your current state (one that matches your CID so it will flash) and once your device boots again you should be able to use the shelltool and load the other rom that you want.
Personally this sounds like a big hassle to me and if it were me I would just pay the 25 bucks or whatever it is to get the unlocking software from the unlocker website and CID unlock my device so I could pretty much flash at will (G4 safe roms of course)
Downloaded the original rom from my-xda.com and it worked. Got the original system back.
Just updated to faria's wm6 using the same shelltool and all works fine. Looking at voip now.
thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers..

Read the wiki for upgrading, check my sig to jump directly to atom-wiki
Use the search function, it will help you
Read how to post properly
let me quote the answer from jiggs,
the reason other devices need to unlock CID is to flash other ROMs. CID - country ID. if you have a CHT device and want to move to WWE, BUT there is no CID unlocking in Atom because you simply change the hex values in ROM and you can flash it to your device. So, no need for it.

thanks for ur advice bro..sorry for disturbing all of u..peace
Hi,
I have a Tilt, the ROM version is: 1.57.502.2, Radio version: 1.27.12.11. I am trying to downgrade the phone to WM5 or to one of the cooked roms published on this site. I have spent hours reading the WIKI section and many posts. I have tried to install the HARD-SPL however in the begining I had the white screen problem. After using the JUMPSPL, I think that I have managed to install the Hard-SPL (The version that the bootloader shows is: SPL-1.0.Olipof.
I have also unlocked the phone and the CID using tools available on this website. I have no way to check if the unlock works since I do not have another SIM with me right now.
The problem that I am having is that every time I try to install a ROM, I start the upgrade wizard, and get to the point where the phone shows a promt that asks me if I want to approve the execution of a file. I confirm it and then the phone reboots, shows the AT&T logo right away and reloads everything. I do not see the bootloader and after around 60 seconds I get the 260 error on my computer telling me that there is an update error and that the update utility could not access my PDA phone.
I have also tried to get into the bootloader manually, then connect the USB while ActiveSync is open and load an ATT rom (It's an older one with WM5 provided by Cingular) however I get the same results...
Can anyone give me some guidance? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Joe
P.S. The computer's OS is windows XP, I have turned of the Anti-Virus Scanner (AVG)
