Upgrading to different Vendor without superCID? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

All,
Currently I am upgrading to a rom which just gave me a wong vendor ID....
When you start up the upgrade whilst you are connected via activesync it goes into a bootloader state.....then it gave me the wrong vendor id....
I kept my TYTN in this state and started the RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE file again, after accepting the terms again the upgrade started....and is currently running. It seems to be running very slowly (ie it seems to be connected via serial.....)
But lets hope this works, otherwise I have a bricked TYTN by the end of this day.......
I'll keep you all posted,
Cheers!

It worked like a charm, the beginning was very slow but then it went very easily from 16% to 66% and then it finished...
So we got a workaround, I hope it also works with the rest ;-)
Good luck everyone!

Did you have bootloader 1.04 when you started? This sounds exactly like the 1.04 "bug" which allowed different CID ROMs using just this technique.

Yes, I had bootloader 1.04.... So nothing new then?

No, and in fact now you are probably hosed as you can't go back unless you have a proper-CID flash with 1.04 *OR* you can find the pirated/hacked bootloader to sneak back to 1.04

Unable to upgrade radio rom

Hi,
I am a SoftBank X01HT user. Recently a rom update was released and I applied it.
ftp://210.136.175.150/F1_RUU/RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
After update the bootloader version changed to 1.09, so I downgraded the bootloader to 1.04 and it seems to be successful (I confirmed it in bootloader mode screen). Then I installed the DoCoMo version shipped rom of following versions.
ROM Version: 1.23.731.2
Radio Version: 1.06.00.10
Bootloader: 1.04
Language: JPN (Japanese)
CID: DOCOM801
The installation finished successfully, but the radio version is 1.14!!
ROM Version:1.23.731.2
Radio Version:1.14.00.10
I tried to upgrade radio to 1.20 but in vain. I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it seemed to work correctly till 99% (however it shows ERROR 114 finally).
After soft reset, I found that the radio version was still 1.14.00.10.
What's the matter? Anyone can help please?
Best regards,

In addition I tried this rom with bootloader 1.09 and radio 1.18.00.10.
ftp://xda:[email protected][1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
The radio rom was not upgraded to 1.18, it remains 1.14.
very weird... can you attach a usb-monitor capture when trying to flash another rom? see the wiki (upgrading problems) for instructions on how to use usb-monitor.
pof, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1068511&postcount=35
might be due to the new SoftBank ROM sold since December?
Even they http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php couldn't do it:
The Unlocker it will NOT WORK with Japanase Softbank devices with SPL1.09 and radio 1.14.00.10 sold after 1st December 2006. To check your spl just put the phone in bootloader :hold the [OK] button (from the left side of the phone where the volume button is) and the [power on] button and in same time press the [reset] hole (near to the charger connector -- use stylus to press it!) and you can see IPL and SPL
Radio version can be checked from Start->Settings->System->Device Information:Radio Version.
If you buy the unlocker and claim that your phone is a 1.09 we will NOT refund you. We don't know when we will release a new update or IF we will release one!!!

Yes, I think the new softbank device has the radio area "read only" somehow, that makes impossible to patch the radio in order to SIM/CID unlock. However I would like to see a USB Monitor capture of the process when trying to flash a radio rom on it, to see exactly what the bootloader returns. If anyone can attach it, it would be great

Would be an explaination but uedam said he is stuck on 1.14.0.1 since he installed the new X01HT ROM. This implies he had another version before - so it seems that the read only effect isn't caused by the hardware but by the ROM and can't be removed by flashing another ROM (at the moment).
Perhaps there is a hidden command executed when the ROM is flashed. Something that write-protects a range in memory. But I have no explaination why the process runs until 99%.
Someone has to log the USB traffic when flashing the new ROM.
By the way: I'm not willing to test this on my own device

pof,
I installed usbmon and tried radio rom 1.20 upgrade again (it also failed...)
Here is the log files exported from usbmon. I hope it will help to solve the problem.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/usbmonlog.zip
Sorry, the file was too large to attach to this post.
p.s. If you need further information, please let me know.
Thanks uedam, the process seems to be the same like in every other device. The only "minor" strange thing is that when flashing a 0x10000 byte block at address 0x6d0000 you get a failure the first time, then the RUU does an 'rerase' of this memory portion, tries again and gets a success, and follows with the radio flashing process. But I think this has nothing to do with the problem we're facing here.

Yes, before upgrade I unlocked my X01HT and used with DoCoMo rom. The radio version was 1.06.00.10.
I uploaded the USB traffic log and please view the file. Does the same thing occur when writing another rom? or this is the first case?

Hmmm, would it make sense to have him log the full-upgrade process - presumably the "locking" happened when he did the RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
and hopefully it would happen even if Radio 1.14 were already on the system when he re-did the full upgrade.....

Hey uedam, nice work dude!
I've had a quick look and seems a normal upgrade to me, I see nothing related to the write-locking of the radio, but will look at it more deeply later, in case I skipped something important.
However I extracted GSM.nb from softbank 1.33.761.4 ROM and GSM.nb from HTC 1.18.416.1ROM which both should be radio 1.14.00.10 but the files are different, so I guess the locking is done in the radio itself (??).

pof, it sounds quite interesting. Softbank built the special version of 1.14.00.10 radio?
So, if possible, we cook new rom which includes radio rom same as HTC 1.18.416.1 rom then the person who has 1st version of X01HT can upgrade it safely?

If it is impossible, the person who has contract with softbank will have much trouble. Because they have to upgrade their devices till 1st of April in order to use internet connection. Softbank announced that we would not be able to connect to the net without upgrading to new rom.

Where is this announced? My understanding is that it is not possible to use "Direct Internet" if you don't have the latest ROM but you can still access the internet via normal packet communication - it's more expensive though.

1.04 has a bug. even if you get an error message when you try to burn a rom from another company, do nothing with your device and run the same update again on your pc. you can update the rom this time.

Hello mj13,I looked around the posts and I could not find any solutions to downgrade my X01HT shipped after Dec from 1.09 to 1.04.Would you please tell me where did you find it or how to finish it?
And ,since downgraded to 1.04 ,does that mean I can unlock my X01HTto use another SIM card using the v2a version unlocker?
Thank you vey much.

Hi,pof!Thank you very much for answering my question on the 1.09 to 1.04 topic.But I still got some questions.In the link you gave me it says I can not downgrade my bootloader unless I go to the IMEI something website and pay some dollars.Is that the only way to downgrade my bootloader?
And you told me even if I downgraded my bootloader,I still can not unlock my phone.That means,if I downgraded,I can burn other language rom (like English)but I can not use other company's SIM card.Am I right?

Yes, because softbank 1.14 radio doesn't allow to be upgraded even if you flash another ROM this radio will be kept in your device.
Ok so I have a little problem with the whole 1.09 -> 1.04 thing.
I have been searching for a couple days or so and gathering some information about it, but I don't think that anyone has had my problem yet. I have a pre-Dec. x01ht, and I stupidly upgraded to 1.09 (don't ask why; I'm still kicking myself). So after trying to downgrade with a couple different versions of the 1.04 provided here with no avail, I found the downgrade_spl file that has been floating around. Each time I keep getting the same problems.
When I active sync with my computer and start the downgrade (upgrade?) process i get past the first preliminary check with the phone and when it jumps to the second check, the phone resets into the tri-color screen for about half a second, and then a white upgrade looking screen. after that the phone checks itself and everything says "ok", but it never resyncs with the computer. The computer stays on the screen that would show a progress bar, but after it hangs there it gets an error screen. i also tried doing everything from the boot mode (the tri-color menu), and that also gets an error. when i try from the boot mode, the both of the progress bars start, but before either go anywhere they both the computer screen comes up with an error in the program. it asks me if i want to recover or view the file, and recover also doesnt work.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you go about solving this dillema?

Sending her in for replacement. . . what should i do?

ok guys and girls. I just put in a request to have my phone replaced because of screen issues. I have SuperCID unlocked my phone, and have the XDA live running on it right now with radio version 1.27. What do i need to do to make it looked like the phone has never been messed with?
I just don't want them to call me back and give me @#$% about it.
Thanx for the help.
how about flash the rom it came with
You can flash the original ROM version and language. But the SuperCID stays. Unlikely that they'd spot this unless they examine the phone deeply.
I sent a SuperCID'ed and SIM unlocked Cingular 8125 in for replacement about 7 months ago and it was replaced without question. I know they're different devices, but that's my experience.
k thanx for the help guys
hey im sending my device in with screen issues as well, and i have the 1.34 radio is there any way to get it back to the 1.16 radio it came with. i tried to flash it back but it never starts upgrading
I handed in my bricked JASJAM a couple of days ago for "warranty repair". No word yet whether the warranty will cover this or I will have to pay the MB swap.
SSPL Tool will work for this.

You should not have to worry about the CID, but it might be better if you flash the old ROM and radio. SSPL is the way to go if you can't flash it back to what is was.
Yeah, hopefully SuperCID isn't a problem, but it would be nice to have a way to reverse it some time in the future, especially now that Des's SSPL makes it redundant for most people.

Des SSPL uses spl 1.09 which does not have 'rtask' command, so you must use a radio upgrade in NBH format, not in NBF as you're probably using now.

The price seems to vary a bit depending on the country. A couple of guys on the dead hermes thread have done it. This post shows that the prices charged by HTC America and HTC Europe vary significantly.
just to ask, if i use the aku 2.3, radio 1.16 rom full update from the wiki site, will it change everything back for me or will i have to use the sspl program? I just want to make it look like verything is fine.

Invalid Vendor ID.

Flashed WMXL 0.20 yesterday. All fine. I stupidly installed a WM2003 program that seems to have edited the graphics driver. Now the thing wont boot past the HTC splash screen. I've tried flashing, same rom, different t-mobile roms etc. No luck, always same error.
What gives?
Installing a program does not usually brick a device.
And if your graphics driver has been modified,I suggest you do a hard reset on your device.
If that is not helping,please provide your SPL and Radio version,also Cid status and so on ,see who can help you here.

Sounds like you're flashing & writing before reading. I'm guessing you went straight to the WM6 rom and didn't do any of the SIM or CID unlocking. Read the following threads and you should discover what you need and probably loads more too...

Congrats and have fun flashing - it's addictive.
I'd suggest that you read and try Olipro's Hard-SPL before you go any further. This appears to be the answer to many of our prayers because you should be able to recover a bad radio flash. (I'm guessing that the 1.04 version will become most popular)

SPL Myths

just to dispel the myth;
SPL 1.01MFG Flashing via mtty is NOT faster than using the RUU; HTC do not deliberately slow down the process, that's just bloody stupid; the reason it can take longer is if you include a Radio ROM, because flashing a radio takes sodding ages, but can people please learn that using a proper NBH is a smarter and safer way to flash their Hermes.
I second that. this myth appeared because 1.01MFG was the first bootloader that allowed us to flash unsigned, but it didn't allow to flash a radio. So there was the general "feeling" that signature checking was slowing down the process, but it was not: the slowness is caused by flashing the radio.
True, but from strictly a ROM cooker perspective, its not faster. It takes time to build/run the RUU & when you're testing cooked roms, its just far easier to fire up the sspl 1.01MFG and lnb the new os.nb directly.
I understand safety to be the presence of BL v1.10.Oli at location 50020000.
Consequently, I keep this version flashed and test out cooked ideas (currently I'm working on the ATI video issue so I've been flashing a lot of test roms) using your 1.01MFG sspl bootloader.
Expanding on this, I believe that production cooked ROMs should include your 1.10.Oli SPL bootloader from a safety perspective based on my understanding that the BL is flashed first in the RUU under the control of the 1.09Des SSPL loader. This will guarantee a safety net should something go wrong during the OS and/or Radio flashing portion of the process. I would also imagine that this is why you state that RUU flashing is safer too.
Maybe this should be SOP whenever a new production ROM is released by Operators too: Repackage everything into a sspl that also loads 1.10.Oli. Of course, when HTC takes their inevitable next steps in this "spy vs. spy" battle, all this may be invalidated...
Here's an interesting thought: Your bootloader advancements have actually helped Operators since using this technique should result in far fewer bricks being returned for new devices. Now the question is this: does this cost HTC I wonder? Or to put it differently: who sucks up the cost of a bricked Hermes that is replaced in warranty. Whomever this is is very happy with you Olipro and likely to offer you a job as a top developer . Conversely, whomever sucks up the cost is gonna put a contract out on you....
JK: The fact is this: both have a contract on you b/c you've invalidated CID
When I run the RUU, I'll open the Windows Media Player to play the MP3 files, and the update process will be finished in 2-3 minutes.
I guess my major question is this:
At what time during the RUU flashing process is the bootloader flashed? If its the first thing to be flashed then my points above are valid. If not, then everybody who flashes needs to insure that they have 1.10.Oli in flash before stripping the bl out of any ROM they wish to flash. Perhaps we could begin to go through production ROMs and designate those that have had this done with another column on the Wiki.

In the order it is placed on the NBH file, generally IPL & SPL are the first.

Yes they are: the HardSPL is flashed but the process continues with the current bootloader on device... but after the flashing process ends (or fails) HardSPL is there, which lets you recover the bad flash because even if radio is b0rken the device is seen as SuperCID. Only those with radio bootloader 0108 will need to flash a hardSPL based on 1.09 to be able to recover, the rest will be fine with the one based in 1.04.

But there isn't a 1.09 hardSPl yet, no?

no, but if someone manages to bork their radio AND can't get into the OS, then something can be done.

I happen to be in this exact situation. Have bootloader 1.09 and a corrupt radio (which is why I tried to reflash and ended up with a brick). Any ideas?

no... not quite; you need a Hard-SPL bootloader first; or, you need to be able to boot Windows.

that's what I thought. Any forecast on when (if) you'll have one available?

no... I mean you either need to have flashed on a Hard-SPL before you buggered it up, or you need to be able to still get into Windows after buggering it

But, will you publish a 1.09 Hard SPL? I will be a good protection measure for those who got the radio bootloader 0108 (like me ).

well, if you flash 1.04 and bugger up your radio, then of course I'll send you it to flash on, but since it's essentially Des's work, I'm leaving it to him to make his own formal release .

Ok. Fortunately I don't need it ***yet***. Thanks Olipro.
BTW: I got your 1.10 version installed and it works very well. Thanks.
