Just press 'cancel' and you will get the today screen. ActiveSync icon should turn green by the way even if you are on the phone screen. Make sure the device is connected to USB port.
I have updated the wiki with instructions on how to downgrade to bootloader 1.04, here's the wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Howto_Bootloader104
there is no "cancel" to press

make sure you have bootloader 1.04 and the patched radio rom was flashed correctly. Your device must show radio version 1.13.00.00 on Settings -> System -> Device Information -> Version.
i hv the same problem, it is not a sim lock, it is a usim lock, it claims a correct usim, and it ban all function including basic pda function even u hvnt insert any sim card
ps. bootloader 1.04, radio 1.13, sim unlcoked by the unlocker, it should be a usim lock for x01ht firmware ONLY, because i tried to flash to other ver, they hvnt this problem, but i dont want to see dopod or docomo logo in a softbank phone..........

Unhide and unlock your extrom and put the cab there if your rom allows extrom-unlocking, it won't be executed after hard reset unless it is signed, but you can manually unhide the extrom again and run it.... or simply put it on your SD card

this seems to work.. there's a blue icon at the bottom left screen and when I tap on it it shows version 0.0.1 and exit.. after the USIM screen closes I find that I can view the phone book on the SIM card.. I havent tried making calls yet since the SIM card only works in countries with GSM coverage (specifically Maxis Malaysia) and I'm in Japan.. but does that mean I can use this SIM card? and if I close this software (I like to use the settings>memory>running programs>close all programs at times) will the USIM screen come back on?
EDIT: the program is not listed in the running programs list.. problem solved I guess.. cheers all

I've read the comment there, but didn't understand what to do.. can you write down a small howto for newbies like me to understand? cheers
1) Hard rest
2) Soft reset before the extrom installs
3) Unhide the extrom
4) install all cabs except PT_SIMlock_Empty.CAB
thanks for the quick reply..
since this process will delete all my contacts and mails, do you know any software I can use to backup all these data?
EDIT:
nevermind that.. I just copied pim.vol and did the hard reset thing.. I'm not sure if I did anything wrong but it didnt seem to work.. I soft reset when WM wanted to install the auto update thing and I manually installed all .cab file that was in the ExtROM folder (the ones that were already in the phone) except for PT_SIMLock_Empty.cab.. but when I restarted the phone and inserted a locked SIM card, the same screen came up. Did I do something wrong?
bump.. coz it went into the 2nd page..

I bought a Softbank X01HT after finding this site, and as a total WM5 newbie, decided I would switch the phone from Japanese to English. It took me 5 days of lurking around this site, but I finally did it. Here's a summary of my efforts for those of you who dare follow:
Unlock the phone
I went here to get it done: http://www.imei-check.co.uk
Download and Install English ActiveSync from Microsoft
Get it here:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/default.mspx
I'm using v4.2
Disable Advanced USB Networking
If ActiveSync keeps disconnecting on USB, then go to Settings > Connections > Usb to PC, and disable advance network funtctionality.
Here's the thread that describes the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276783
Flash with an English ROM
Here's the post that I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=7
Here's the ROM for JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship
Note: the ROMs and the ExtendedROMs are not the same. The Flash will take about 30 mins. It will reset when done, and then ask you to align the screen. I just did as I was told. when done, it automatically started to load the included ExtendedROMs.
Unhide Extended ROM folder
Install fit4cat Hermes Tweaker, I used v1.1a. Get it here: http://www.fit4cat.de/thread.php?threadid=56
From the earlier post, enable 'HSPDA settings' and check all the boxes on the 'security' tab (mount extROM, unlock extROM, allow non certified apps)
Install the Softbank Extended ROMs
Get the Softbank Extended ROMs from this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
Move the contents of the folder to your /ExtendedROM folder then do a HARD reset
How to do a HARD Reset
The instructions for a HARD reset are located here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
Make sure you see the menu with the press 'R' to reset. If you don't, you didn't do it right. Try it again.
Apparently, after a Hard reset, you will automatically start the 'autorun' script for the Softbank Extended ROMs, and this will add the settings for using data over the Softbank 3G network. If you still don't get a data connection to the Softbank Network, you can add it manually. Read this page for details (#17): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=2
Install a Registry Editor
I chose the one included in the Resco Explorer. Even though your processor is by Samsung, make sure you download the CABs for the ARM/Xscale processor.
Get it here: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp
Note: you have to install the Explorer and the Registry Editor plugin
Do the Japanese Keyboard Hack
The key thing to remember is that even though your Hermes speaks English, the keyboard uses a Japanese layout. The code for Japanese is 0x0411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd] "Locale"= 0411 (Hex, not String)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 20411 (Hex)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] "Default"= e0010411 (Hex)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1] "Default"= e0010411 (Hex)
Install Japanese Language Fonts
Now that your Hermes speaks English, you can't see Japanese Web pages. This CAB will fix it. Get it here: http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/6912738.html
Install BTaudio Hack
This hack lets you route the PDA audio to your Bluetooth headset. Without it, you can only use the headset for the phone. It worked fine with my Motorola HS850 set to the "Hands Free" BT profile. I used the version from this post (includes a link to the CAB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1044017#post1044017
and Voila! you are ready to go.
Of course, before you start you should read the following:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
The above is a summary of what I did, and it worked for me. But, of course, nothing is warranted and proceed at your own risk. yada yada.
good job man. really appreciate your contribution

No need to unlock if you don't want to expend the 20GBP, you just need to donwgrade to bootloader 1.04.
1) Download M3100v3cUnlock.exe from imei-check, but do not pay ;-)
2) Turn phone on and connect to pc (green ActiveSync icon in system tray)
3) Start M3100v3Unlock.exe and close it when it asks for the .unl file with your imei, the device should stay in bootloader (tri-color) screen or a white screen.
4) disable USB connections on activesync
5) Run the extracted 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade, version will be shown as 9.99.999.9 just click next / update.
6) When upgrade ends device will softreset and you'll have bootloader 1.04 in your device which will allow you to flash any rom without CID checking
Then follow the rest of the language switching process with the good mixersoft explanation
4) disable USB connections on activesync
5) Run the extracted 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade, version will be shown as 9.99.999.9 just click next / update.

About this step, it means I have to unplug usb cable from pc before uses bootloader ?

No, sorry if I was not clear, it means you have to right click on active sync icon, select "connection settings" and disable the checkbox for "Allow USB connections".
thank you. I will try.
Hello! pof;

I use M3100v3Unlock.exe after it asked me for .unl file I close it and device automatically reset. Then I use 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade and try to upgrade
(with disable USB conection on activesync) it says error because can not find conection. How will I do?
Thank you.
Just tell the upgrade utility to continue without verifying... or do not disable usb connections in activesync, iit is not really that important, upgrade will go on equally
I tried to do for many times but failed. And this the message from upgrading.

What happens if you follow my steps in post #3 but do not do "step 4"? (ie: do not disable usb connections in activesync).
The update should be fine after that, only that it starts from bootloader not from OS and the rom utility says it cannot find the "current" version, but should follow as normal.

Do not let the device reset, disconnect it from usb (don't worry, it is safe), and close the unlocker then. When unlocker is closed reconnect the device and follow with the extracted-bootloader-1.04 upgrade.
Works!! Thanks
It worked for me. Thank you for your time and energy... Its working on Softbank network in Kanto. I just need to install the .cabs for Japanese. I cant read Kanji very well but it just looks better than Obakemoji..
Thank you very much Pof.
I follow your last post and it work for me.
When my device was blank screen I dis connect usb cable and then
run bootloader upgrade( not tick Allow usb connection in Active sync).
From now, I will start to flash rom and then install Thai and Japanese SIP.
Actually, some Thai sip can use with WM5 Japanese OS can input(visual keyboard) Thai word
but can not read homepage or use handwriting.
thank you again Pop for your help.
HI
I have a question about this.
After language change to English the phone work 100% fine?
All applications, all softbank services and etc ?
I wish to change my phone to this X01HT, but i will do this only if I can use the phone 100% in english.
Thanks

Yes, it will be flashed with an english rom, you will be able to use it in english without problems
One more question for confirmation before flash.
Install the Softbank Extended ROMs
Get the Softbank Extended ROMs from this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...s_ExtendedRoms
Move the contents of the folder to your /ExtendedROM folder then do a HARD reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in this step, it means that after finish flash rom I have to put Softbank Extended Roms into Extended Roms? How about data in Extended Rom before I put Softbank Extended Roms into I have to delete them all? Or no data in Extended Roms after flash? If it is emtpy extended rom I see.
Wow this is amazing. I did a major Homer Simpson this week when I picked up my new X01HT and didn't think to ask the sales lady whether it could switch to English. My Japanese is REALLY basic, so THANK YOU so much for this thread and to all the guys contributing.
I agree with taicyber, my question is the same....are the Extended ROMs nessisary? Basically I don't care about "extra features" etc etc. I just want a working phone in English which doesn't kill my contract with Softbank in anyway (apart from the fact that doing this will void any warrantee).
Otherwise awesome post and I can't wait to get stuck into this....heres hoping I don't brick it....lol.
Thanks for answer me!
Another question.
You know if have any others language to install ?
English is just fine , but Brazilian Portuguese is my primary language. Any chance to change to Portuguese too ?
Or Spanish?
Thanks again

No, it is not necessary, you can skip the extended rom step if you want. And if you are not happy after this, you can install the cabs from the softbank extended rom (or any other) later.

The languages available are the ones on the shipped roms on the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
You can flash whichever you like, it doesn't have to be JasJAM rom as pointed on the first post of this thread, this was just an example.
i unlock G4 Wizard with this method. and after i flash it with a turkish rom file. it's success and very well working without sim card.
Bu when i insert a sim to wizard, it has locked the ppc. and after i flash it with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.
and after the ppc is open but stuck on opening screen. i try to master reset it but i can't. and after i remove the battery and detach the sim.
now the ppc can't open. i try to get it to bootloader mode but i can't. when i press master reset & camera button, nothing happens.
i try different button combinations but it can't open.
edit:
i flash it with RUU MUN program
please help
Oh my god...
Flashing Hard SPL to your device does not mean you can flash any ROM you want. You can only flash ROMs that doesn't have IPL and SPL.
Since CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE (Button's ROM) includes IPL and SPL 1.01, you most likely bricked your device.
in this case what can i do?
can i change the flash of the phone? if yes, hoc much does it?

sounds like you have let the device install the ext_rom when you first turned it on, unfortunatly you cannot unlock it to use any sim card.
But you can do it with IMEI Check, you just cannot change radio version afterwards, but on newer version of X01HT it's 1.46 radio, so it's quite ok I think.

how can I tell if my phone is "post april"?
USIM Message GONE!!!!
Hello cnsathya,
Not sure if you still have the problem. I just got my x01ht Hermes yesterday and I worked on it today to unlock it. I used pof's (THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH) unlocker v3 but still USIM showed then later put my t-mobile sim and re-ran the unlock software but after 10 sec I still got the USIM message. I moved SB_USIM.cab to the phone and ran it before the USIM message came but nothing seemed to change. But I could then use my sim and receive calls so I flashed the PIMPING IS BACK v3 ROM by jasjammin and it now works perfectly and no more USIM. I had an old x01ht but cracked the screen so bought this one. Let me know if you need more information or have questions. Thank You,
Pr4tik

Hi.
I tried to find this on the forum and wiki, but i couldn't, so i want to ask.
I got a used Softbank X01HT, and seller said it was unlocked, but when i put in my sim i can do things for about 30 seconds, and then there comes a U-SIM screen and it asks me to enter something, i guess ( It's in japanese ).
How can i get this to go away? Is it even unlocked?
ROM: 1.33.761.4
Radio: 1.16.00.00
When i make call to phone i does to through and people can all even though U-SIM screen is there, and when people call, it is possible to go to the menues and such.. But when they hang up it goes back to U-SIM screen.
Please help
I have already read the Post april X01HT thread, though it is not relevant in this case because this is model from 2006.
Thank you
this is SIM unlocked phone (radio version 1.16.00), but your Windows Mobile ROM is the original SoftBank Japanese version that enforces USIM message...
You can flash to some other Windows Mobile ROM, but make sure you check Hard-SPL thread first (sticky in Hermes upgrading etc)
Hi thank you again!
I read something like that in the SIM unlock thread.
So i just need to install Hard-SPL and then flash a ROM?
Do i also need to do CID unlock? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665)
I would like to be able to write japanese with the phone, so is that possible if i flash? I saw a thread about installing japanese input/output support, is that possible to install on every rom?
And can you reccomend a rom or post link to ROM you think i should install?
THANK YOU! can't wait to start using it.
Now i just tried the Hard-SPL thing. But i get Update error 260 saying my device is not connected. I have ActiveSync 4.5 open and i have synced..
so i don't know.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the USIM screen being on all the time?
I see Active sync closing down as soon as it starts updating.. but then it can't update, right?
easiest way is to use SoftBank SIM for flashing everything, that way you avoid USIM message...
if you dont have SoftBank SIM available, search for welcome.exe on this forum.
SoftBank put a software SimLock in the ROM which can be removed with welcome.exe from imei-check unlocker. (http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php) Start it up with you phone connected to USB and ActiveSync enabled... After the program asks for some password file, just close it! (close dos prompt window)
About Japanese IME (kanji & kanna input), i prefer flashing some newer English WM6 ROM + installing separate Japanese IME from cab. Old SoftBank's ROM is very slow and limited...
Super CID is just there if you flash HardSPL....
HI, thank you!
I found out that the USIM screen goes away if you just press on the signal bar and say that you don't want to receive signal.. den i can ue it.. And then i could do the Hard-SPL which i did with no problem. thank you!
Ah so if i just download that program and close it down at that time the USIM screen with never come again?
Yea i want to flash it to newer. But i'm not sure which one because i've heard a lot of people broken their phone :/
could to give me a link to a few "good" English WM6 ones?, though i there is probablt many.
i will try out the imei-check thing now ^_^!
Once you flash HardSPL; when you want to flash only Windows Mobile ROM only you dont have to worry about bricking (destroying) your phone. Only flashing different radio could be dangerous.
For the version, you have to find out yourself, there are so many... Check Hermes Mobile 6 threads, there are even some special Japanese cooked ROMs if i remember correctly. Also check user signatures for what versions are different people using...
thanks so much! i managed to get the USIM screen gone with your help.
Ahh i see, but install new version wont it also change the radio? wasn't that dangerous?(sorry if i ask dumb question)
so if i chose this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359458 i can still make it with Japanese IME?
i think i will try hehe!
that link you provided is Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 ROM... It is one of the most stable out in the wild, and it comes without radio, so flashing that one should be safe.
Oh ok thank you! then i will try this.
Last question before i do anything
This that ROM it is still possible to do the Japanese IME thing?
I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298919
It explains something of getting japanese on phone, was this what you meant by japanese IME? or is there an other method, if yes, please telle me/ give link.
Now time to have your Hermes speak Japanese
Japanese fonts
Use the excellent work from Asukal, that you can find here:
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
I did have a problem with it: once I executed it, I could not sync with my Exchange server (Quite a pain for my push email account...)
Asukal found the solution: edit the registry, and change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mobem\CE-Star] "MyNLS" = "\windows\wince.nls"
Japanese input
Not using for myself, but these work perfectly (I tried):
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/BagojsINPUT.zip
*** EDIT
If you prefer a Japanese input without the annoying "Floating bar", ie just the same input way as your original WM5 Softbank ROM, just downlaod and install the "MS IME31 J" link from Asukal's page:

THANK YOU!
That solution you mention should work fine, but newer solution is available. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
Hi! THank you very much! i was finally able to flash the ROM!!
And i have installed the Japanese fonts and Input thing!
It works. but after install i can not sign onto MSN Live Messenger. Is there anyway to fix this problem?Maybe i should change something in Regedit?? Or should i uninstall the fonts again? :/
It gives me this message: There's a Connectivity problem. Make sure you're in an area with good reception and try again.
I have tried over and over and WIFI is up and working..
So any answer i would be so greatful and finally be able to use the phone like i dreamed of !
Thank you.
sorry, i dont use msn, i have no clue about it...
明けましておめでとう。
Ok thank you anyway!!
明けましておめでとう〜
良い年でありますように♪o(^-^)o

I now have IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21
I forgot to undo HardSPL. Don't forget.
I cannot get past three colored screen.
I cannot flash anything over it.
It goes through the process, but after it reboots, it is still the 3-colors.

I have got exactly the same problem! I also forgot (or didn't know I have to) undo HardSPL. Is there some solution?
pszemaz
Wow i’m so sorry to see this happened this is something I was unaware of, it’s not mentioned anywhere that i’ve read.
I have corrected the main post to reflect this.
I have not been able to find a fix.
I could not get MTTY to work for me. I found Tera Term and tried it.
Info states 2.21.olip for the SPL and gives an error which I forgot and am having trouble reconnecting. The error had to do with CID. I am having trouble getting the phone to come back on. Must have used up the battery trying to figure things out.
Unfortunately, most everything I read leads me to believe I need to get some mortar.
I know this is a stupid question but did you try the Wizard Love ROM?
The only reason I ask is you say you still have the hard SPL.
I should have spelled out what all I tried. Yes, I tried wizard love ROM, original Cingular ROM and noidupdate utility with several nk.nbf files such as 2.25.0001 IPL/SPL, etc. It either works all of the way and reboots to the IPL/SPL splash, gives the no communication error or gives the wrong updater error. Once I got a wrong file error.
That doesn’t look promising.
Unfortunately I don’t have an 8125 G4 anymore so I can’t make a backup for you to try.
Maybe someone with an 8125 G4 could make a backup and send it to you, I don’t know if it would work but it would be worth a try.
Just an update. When I do a hard reset the phone states "Format is Failed" and goes to the first splash screen which is not my splash screen, but I assume it is from the unlock program.
I just unlocked my SPV-M3000 G4 phone and it works fine! Thanks!

have you tried to softspl your device again as if it were hard SPLed? then flash in a stock rom? maybe that will help.
SoftSPL cannot see the device since it will not get out of bootloader mode
I have been continuing my research:
If someone has a Cingular G4 phone and is willing to take the time, I could use some help.
You would need to flash back to cingular ROM (and go back to locked CID) and then use MTTY command ( r2sd all ) to put your ROM image onto a clean SD Card. Then upload that image so I can try to use MTTY to flash back a working ROM.
Don't know if it will work, but this seems to be the only thing left to try.
RoryB, if you'll get that image plase remember to post it here, as I'm in the same situation as you. Thx.

I will definitely post the results here if I get one. If it works I will post step by step recovery method here too.

This is true however the phone will need to be CID unlocked no hard SPL.
The “r2sd all” command requires full CID unlocking.
The image can’t be remove from the SD card so it must be mailed to you.

I was thinking that maybe the CID unlock worked (it seemed to go through full operation - no error messages), but corrupted the ROM since I get the "Format is Failed" message after a hard reset. I was hoping to try this as a last effort I could figure out.
I did not realize it was not a file that could be copied, etc.
