Please help me!
I screwed my MDA Vario II. I used HTC universal sim unlocker and I haven’t got radio. I know I was a craze.
No GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.
I vas very happy when I find this site :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems.
I made this:
USB>
USB>password 0000000000000000

HTCST ÚČŇHTCEUSB>erase a1940000 640000
HTCST ÚČŇHTCEUSB>set 1e 0

The radio doesn’t work , no GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.
Please help me
Please can a expert check this!?
I found this with the search option.... can someone check this....
Its written for the Tytn and not for the Vario II, i'm not sure but i thought that the english Vario II has a 1.06 bootloader!! Then you are stuck, beacause the file who degrade your bootloader to 1.04 isnt availleble anymore. Maybe one of the guys here can share it with you?!
======================================================
- Take the battery out of your TyTN and leave it out several minutes
- Disable USB-connection in Active-Sync
- Reboot your Computer
- Replace the battery and put your TyTN in the bootloader
- Try to load the ROM found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping.exe
- Keep trying till you get just past the erasing part, then you will get an error-message and are asked to reset your device with the stylus
- Reset your phone and put it back in the bootloader mode
- Install any Hermes ROM you like, no matter what CID if you have bootloader 1.04

Can you attach a USB monitor capture of what happens when you try to:
a) flash a rom
b) flash a radio rom
Do both things starting from bootloader and with activesync disabled.
Same Problem
I have the same problem
My PDA keeps comming back in the bootloader screen.
When 1 try to update (its a unlockes pda), the upload stops at 1%
Is there a way to erease the PDA ?
Thanks

HI!
Thank You for your answer. I made yours tip, but not was good.
First I to try smarty77 tip. I used RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping. Its function. After I’d like rom upgrade. This doesn’t was good (invalid vendor).
Second I to try clearing with mtty.exe.
The situation same, the phone doesn’t work.
Sorry my bad English.

Just seen your capture but it's not good.. you made a "basic" capture which shows nothing important, please repeat the process again, but this time read point 6:
In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
I cannot help unless I have a complete capture to see the problem.

@lacika:
When checking the seclevel (task 32 bootloader command) your phone replies:
Code:
CID: Wait interpreter timeout.
Level=FF
After that when checking the CID with 'info 2' your phone replies:
Code:
HTCS...?\0.?f..|HTCE
This should be something like T-MOB001 if you have a Vario II from UK, so the CID is screwed.
I can see from the output of 'info 3' that you're running bootloader 1.06.
Then you try to flash the 1.18.255.3 ROM from HTC, which has CID "QTEK_001", you won't be able to flash this image in your device with bootloader 1.06, even if the CID was not screwed you will always get an error (you need bootloader 1.04 to bypass CID checking, and you are in 1.06), the error you're getting from bootloader is:
Code:
CID not allow (255)
As you said you can use the PDA (WinCE boots) what I suggest is buying imei-check unlocker (you need activesync working too for running the imei-check unlocker), because it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 and patch your radio... probably it can fix your device, at least it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04. If after running the unlocker your device doesn't work I suggest that you try to flash a radio ROM, you can find them here:

Let me know how it goes

Err... I forgot that your IMEI is also screewed, probably imei-check unlocker will not work on your Hermes even if you provide them the right IMEI, because it will not be able to read the IMEI from your phone (will get the wait interpreter timeout too...). anyway... it costs 20GBP, give it a try!

Hi and thanks!
I’ve got one question. I use imei-check unlocker after I’ll got 1.04 bootloader?
Lacika
I tried that with my device before it got sent to service, I brought imei-check unlocker but as my imei was also corrupt it will not work, so I would not waste GDP 20 if you have corrupt imei.
They will not refund either becuase its your problem the imei is corrupt.

No, imei-check unlocker will downgrade your bootloader, BUT as shark1 says, it will not work because your IMEI is corrupted and it will not be able to read it.
I guess the best would be to send the unit to the repair centre then...

You can't, and your imei is screwed, the unlocker can't check it... so you should better send the unit to the repair centre as suggested.

Dear All,
I've tried to upgrade to ROM Hermes_1.18.416.1_1.18.416.101_1.14.00.10_WWE_Ship
and unluckly cable loosen and I reset the phone.
Since it's in the middle and can't success enter the Windows Mobile,
but the bootloader was updated to 1.06.
Now I can't flash any ROM either
HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP or the new one.
The tools on "imei check" even can't recognize my phone.
Any one can help me on this issue, please?
Thanks in advance.
Try the steps here, let us know the results:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
If you don't fix it with the proposed solutions attach USB Monitor capture in text format as explained in the bootom of the page.
I have the same issue, and sent it to service, and now I have the phone back and they could not fix it, so got no radio or imei number, so none of the FAQ will work for me.
So I have an expensive paper weight.
Hi,
ME TOO!!
I recently had a power cut (yes, a lights off power cut!) that killed my PC half wat through installing the Cingular English CWS__001 1.34.502.1 09/21/06 ?? 1.16.00.00 32.53.7018.01H 14955.2.3.0 ROM onto my SPV 3100.
Now SPV 3100 will boot to the ROM I was running prior to the upgrade but I can't use the telephone. I'm also not able to rerun the upgrade as it got far enough through the process to upgrade my bootloader to 1.06 - therefor rendering me unable to load another ROM.
Before the crash I was using the Imate ROM as below and M3100 was sim unlocked and running on o2 3G
i-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 1.04
I have also tried imei without any joy.
the PDA part of my M3100 still works but the phone is dead. I have been told that if you can get the latest radio installed then you satnd a chance of the phone part working.
We need a hack to get bootloader 1.4 back on the phones.
Please help.
Thanks
My one now is a photo frame which one show "HTC" or "Windows Mobile",
at least your one is a PDA.
There are nothing in "info 2" and so nothing can be flash into it.
Is it possible to have something written CID and IMEI to phone in mtty
and let the flash rom success?
i am in the same situation like yhlee. Pof, i have reply your pm and ready to upload the result file to FTP. where should i upload to?
Thanks
oh i forgot to say, mine is even worst. as soon as i turn on the unit. it will go right into bootloader without press any button.
The USB Log is too large (around 2MB)
and can't upload, any suggestion?
Thanks.

This can be fixed by bootloader commands 'set 14 0' and 'task 8', will reboot your device and boot into OS again (but no GSM yet!)

Thanks
'set 14 0' and 'task 8' didn't work
@rnc1688: It starts the flashing process, but you get a "CID not allow (255)" error because your CID is corrupted and you are in bootloader 1.06.
Is not booting WM5 after "set 14 0" in mtty.exe? If it's not booting WM5 you'll not be able to flash bootloader 1.04 and bypass CID checking.
so i guess my unit is bricked now.
I've upload the file which named yhlee.txt.
However, I'm going to send the unit for service.
Hope they can fix.
Any way to make it show the bootloader screen on start-up
everytime?
"set 14 1" doesn't work after push the RESET button.
Thanks.
@yhlee: U're getting exactly the same error as rnc1688. Device in bootloader 1.06 which has corrupted CID, however you say you can go into OS, so it would be possible for you to downgrade the bootloader so it does not enforce CID checking.

Try "set 1e 1" and then "set 14 1", you'll boot stright into bootloader.
@rnc1688: If you want to go WM5 try this:
"set 1e 1" and then "set 14 0", you should be able to boot stright into OS.
no luck either
grrr!!!... command "set 14 [0|1]" is working fine in 1.04 here to switch boot into WM5 or boot in bootloader mode... probably different in 1.06??? I don't have a 1.06 now to test
Mine one is just showing "Windows Mobile" but stuck there,
but seems rnc1688 one is a PDA but my one is nothing.
I've sent to distributor for service.
Thanks you pof.

Let me know when they fix it... i'm curious about if they will fix it with 1.06 or they will downgrade to 1.04 first.
I got a correct message back from the service company, and they will not fix a bootloader 1.06 unless the original rom has been release with it, I was told that is HTC policy on this.
Hello everybody - can anyone help me at this moment. I am right now sitting with my Hermes connected through USB. I was flashing the standard ROM with RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP. Unfortunately it stopped at 5% some half an hour ago. I prefer to ask you before disconnecting it. Please help!!!!!!!!!
OK, having no answer I decided to disconnect it and look for an answer. Now I know that I have a 1000 USD brick and no possibility to put it back to work.
I now suspect that the upgrade did not work properly because my device had a CID lock. That is quite strange however, because I bought it on the open market without any commitment to any GSM operator.
I am now stuck on the tricolor bootloader screen with SPL 1,09.
Basing on the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285157 - especially on the lines:
"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.", despite seeing info on the website, I paid to imei-check the 20 pounds.
So far I only lost money, time and nerves trying to downgrade or "repair" my hermes. Nothing works. If anybody has any suggestions please share on the forum or PM me.
BTW I started the whole process with SPL 1,04.
Sounds to me like a flaky USB port which is why it stopped at 5%. Try another port in the rear of your PC and re-flash. Be sure to follow the mantra:
Windows XP, screensaver, powersave disabled
No other programs running.
i had a similar problem probably with the flaky usb port as Sleuth255 mentioned. trying with a different pc is another option if you have one and that was what i did with success.
im not sure about the hermes.. but i know on the wizard as long as you could get to the bootloader screen (the RGB screen) that your device isnt bricked yet.. i would follow the other suggestions about usb ports and using different pc's, i bet you can make your $1k work for you again
Try:
Go into bootloader 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.
Make sure you have disabled the USB connection in ActiveSync, before trying to connect to the bootloader:
File --> Connection settings --> uncheck "allow USB connections"
Connect your USB-Cable
Download mtty.exe. Start it and connect to USB
When you see "USB>" Type "info 2". You should get: "HTCS" + CID + (4-byte checksum) + "HTCE". Remeber what CID you have.
Look for a Shipped ROM that matches your CID
Download and flash it using a different USB-Port or PC than the last time
Afterwards you will be able to use the file that you got from imei-check. The imei-check downgrader/unlocker only works if you've got a working operating system on your device.
After typing "info 2" in mtty.exe I get the following line
HTCSF kEŘ(HTCEUSB>
Which of those is the CID? I cannot find any matching one in the Wiki.
corrupted CID by wrong flash.
OK, I have now the confirmation of the diagnosis - as I was suspecting.
Can I now have some help in the solution?
Some people succeded with the method described as "problem 5" here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
but some others don't succeed and have a brick. Try the steps on the wiki, if you are not able to fix it this way, send it to repair centre.
Following the steps from point 5 of the given website, I only get the following lines:

Your phone is not trashed, but there is no rom matching your CID yet. You should have cid unlocked it before flashing a rom with BL 1.06.
Try to boot OS again using "set 14 0" (see wiki, "problem 4"), if that doesn't fix it (chances are it will not), then wait until orange releases a rom upgrade with CID "ORANG001".
I've try the procedure "Problem 4" but after "write nand success" and sr it don't start. My cid is always ORANG001 with spl-1.06

I was flashing my tytn with the new rom with bootloader 1.09 after 8% the usb cord came out and now my tytn is dead its stuck in bootloader mode..spl 1.09...please help
I am also in this boat, except my usb cord didn't fall off, it just stopped updating at 6%.
Connect to the device using mtty and type info 2. If you're CID is corrupt, then you're out of luck just like me.
It seems that the only way to fix this problem is to send the unit back to a service center and get the main board replaced. Unless anyone else has any other ideas. In BL 1.04 you could bypass the CID check but in 1.06 and 1.09 that bug has been fixed.
Great job HTC, you really messed everyone up now, I hope you're ready to start replacing some board on account of your ignorance to create a sufficient backup routine. I guess this means less money of new development and less devices from HTC in the near future.
Because you're in bootloader mode, you might be able to flash the 1.04 bootloader downgrader in; which would then allow you to re-flash any firmware.
Nope, even in boot loader mode I can't go back to 1.04. It doesn't recognize the CID and keeps saying invalid vendor id.
The only possible fix I can see is if someone hacks the hermes and finds a way to cook a rom and not check the CID. Otherwise, it's a full board replacement.
Somehow there has got to be a way to "Bypass" the CID check.
What I was trying to say, if you use the IMEI-CHECK downgrader it will bypass the CID checking enough to get you back down to 1.04?
Yes. Imei-check downgrades your bootloader to 1.04
sn00x said:

But to run imei-check unlocker you need a running OS (it needs to transfer files via activesync to the device) and your IMEI should be not screewed while checking it from bootloader. Otherwise it will not work.
I've tried everything possible to get out of bootloader mtty says my cid is corrupt.does anyone know a number for the service center
depends on your country, go into htc website and look at it:
http://www.htc.com
Pof you are correct. The CID is completely corrupt, the radio sectors have a bad record, and the phone can't boot past the windows mobile splash screen. So the only way we can fix this problem, is to hack the flashing of the rom to not check the CID at all. If this can be done, then we're in business.
On another note, I've been seen 1 of these problems arise every day now. Someone either pulls the usb cord or the flashing just crashes.
I think there is a serious enough priority to hack the hermes rom flashing now aside from crossbow. We really need some resources on this so that we don't ever have to go through these problems again.
In the words of Russel Peters (a famous Canadian comedian)... Pof, be a man, do the right thing. Hehehe.

But does that "other solution" which can't be posted here anymore bypass that requirement, as it runs through the bootloader and not activesync?
no it doesn't. The update still checks the CID before updating.
And it also needs activesync to transfer the fake bootloader to the device... remember it starts with M3100v3cUnlock.exe too....
Ooh, forgot about that bit .
Hello all,
I got a friend of mine who came to me with a device-password locked Hermes, which password he cannot recall (actually his girlfriend...). I said I would be willing to give him a hand to unbrick the device. The problem is that I cannot install any ROM on the device, coz I got an error connection right after the screen goes white and the percentage count should normally start.
So I put the Herm in Bootloader (spl-1.06) and try to flash the OliPro Bootloader. The procedure goes correctly until the step where the upgrade itself should begin, counting from 0%... here, I got:
ERROR [262]: Update error: communication error.
I also tried to flash a ROM directly, but since my Bootloader is 1.06, I didn't find a CID match ROM, so it also failed. The Herm is now not bricked, but it stays at the password input screen, so cannot enter windows properly.
Any help on this?
Thanks,
Ionutz

yes, i grih you,and normally i wouldnt even try to do such thing, if it hadnt been for a friend of mine which i know.
besides i would like to learn more stuff about my Herm and this is one thing I havent seen discussed here, although i keep reading xda forums for such info.
just found the solution: i flashed another ROM with same CID since my BL was 1.06, but with BL 1.04. After that, I managed to flash any other ROM and automatically upgrade the SPL to 1.10 or 2.10 Oli accordingly.
If any of you interested and dont get the short explanation, PM me.
cheers,
Io, owner of 2 kicking TyTn's
BL 1.06 didnt allow devices with a different CID to be flashed,
eg: my TyTN had the CID: QTEK001 so i couldnt flash a ROM destined for a device with CID: VODAP001
But BL 1.04 had a bug where you COULD flash any ROM to the device regardless of the CID, the first attempt shows a vendor ID error, then try again and it will flash no problem.
The simplest way I would have got past the device security problem would have been a hard reset.

I know the details about BL 1.04 vs 1.06, thats why I flashed a BL 1.04 ROM, but with the same CID QTEK_001, or smth.
I have to admit though that I never ever thought about doing a simple hard-reset. I guess it would have been to easy, I jumped to more complicate scenarios. Thanks for the help anyway, i gotta learn that.
Thanks mrvanx, glad I read down the whole thread to the part about a simple hard reset working. I lent my 8525 to a friend, thinking he might be interested in buying it, then he didn't have the money, and after I listed it on ebay today, I charged it up to flash to ATT stock, found it password locked, called my friend a few times just getting his voicemail, so tried flashing, and it said the Hermes wasn't connected to the PC...
I figured there would be a solution here at XDA..and POOF, like magic here it is!
So yes, all I had to do was a hard reset, tested and it works, and it was simple, so thanks again mrvanx, although this thread is very old, glad I found it LOL!
Hi,
First many thanks to all people here at the forum who makes the day better and more interesting for mobile nerds like me. I have been lurking around here for a long time and enjoyed every minute of it.
My problem :
Since my x7500 is SIM unlocked and with a standard setup as far as I can see I tried the HTC VM6 Rom flash without CID unlock.
That was stupid. Very stupid, since I don't have the providers orginal ROM available.
My x7500 will not accept the HTC VM6 ROM and is stuck in Bootloader with "USB" at the bottom of the screen when connected to my PC. Hard reset does not start the normal "installation"
When I start the VM6 flash program I get the famous "provider error message"
Is there any possibility to unlock the CID in Bootloader or "flashing" the bootloader to use the original ROM image at my device for a re-install ? In that way I could use the X7500 unlocker in VM5 and then flash to VM6 after.
If not re-installing the original ROM or unlocking the CID is possible I guess my x7500 is seriously bricked.
I am sorry if the answer to my problem can be found in other treads here. I have searched and read a lot without any success. I know now that I should have unlocked the device before trying to flash -> can only blame my one stupidity.
I will be very happy for every advice.
Greetings, Eric

There were four ROMs posted here some time ago. At least one of them didn't require the unit to be SPL / CID unlocked. Try to get hold of one of those - look in the Athena WM6 forum (where this should have been posted)

Thanks for reply.
I suppose you mean this four Rom's :
http://uploaded.de/?id=j2pv51 - ROM ver 2.20
for use with the athena_upgrade program
http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1 - flasher for SuperCID devices only
works only for supercid devices
http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4 - HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
works with CID HTC__001 and SuperCid
http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u - T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc
works with CID T-MOB005 and SuperCid
As I understand my x7500 is not unlocked/superCid'ed and I need a ROM with exactly the same CID as on my device. Or am I far out ?
Or should I be able to use one of them even if the CID don't match ?
Thanks, Erik

Hi Mackaby, thanks for the answer.
That was the first ROM I tried to flash. Gave me error message "wrong vendor, check your update software"
Now I only get bootloader when I start my device. I have(had) a Norwegian ROM so I guess the CID does not match. I wish I unlocked my device before trying the WM6 ROM but......
Now I am stuck : Cannot boot / install my original ROM or install any.
My hope is that I can either unlock my CID in Bootloader or installing the original ROM again with a hard reset. To bad a hard reset only sends me to bootloader.
try this commands in mtty:
set 14 0
task 8
If it doesn't boot OS after this, you need a rom matching your CID. It's not possible to CID unlock it from bootloader.

Did it. Same result : Bootloader shows up after "task 8"
bootloader says :
athe100
ipl-v1.00
Athe100
SPL-v1.07.0000
red (raster)
green (raster)
blue (raster)
"Serial" when not USB connected, "USB" when connected in white field.
Guess I have to send my device for service since there are no ROM available for my local X7500 That's life

Hi Hdubli,
Thanks for the answer.
Bonus pack ? do you mean the CD that followed my x7500 ? I can check but don't think there are any ROM Flash application on that.
Sorry if I didn't understand your message correct
Greetings, Eric
If u buy bonus pack with athena which includes car kit etc etc, u also get CDs, in which the ROM is also there..so I was asking if u can get hold of the dealer from whom u hv got and enquire about it..also in mtty issue info 2 command check what is yr CID

Ok, understand. We don't have anything called Bonuspack here with hardware stuff and ROM software.
This was the output from the mtty command :
Cmd>info 2
HTCSHTC__H10 ÅPýHTCE
Cmd>info 3
HTCSATHE100001.07.0000 ßؽôHTCE
Anything special with this ?
Anyone who knows if it is possible to mod a ROM flash file so that this CID will be accepted during install ?

That would corrupt the signatures, and it won't flash with an unmodified bootloader.

Thanks EricBr or anyone who can help me,
I have a similar problem, but in my case I didn't do anything to deserve it... I just turned off my new and provider unlocked x7500 after playing with it all day (just installed skype for mobile and customized some settings, tried the programs, etc.), and when I tried to turn it on again, it just froze in the bootloader screen... Nothing works, I tried soft and hard resets, don't know what else to do?
I've been reading al your posts everywhere and tried a few things without succes, when I conect my x7500 to my pc, it doesn't connect to activesync or anything. I guess I would do better if there would be someone who can create a reply that would clearly guide me on what to do and what files (with links) to download. I simply don't know what happened! since I didn't do anything especial to deserve this from my x7500 which I was falling in love with, after only a few hours of just getting to know it.
I'm new to xda's so please lay it down easy on me... Already had removed the sim and the miniSD I had installed on it... still nothing happens.
