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.

i could hack Radio rom from Cinglar,and make Flashable file.
2 of them,,Version 1.10 and 1.16 were tested on my VarioII.
i tried to upload them onto xda-FTP many times but fialed.
so i uploaded to my FTP for you guys.
instruction of upgrade also there.
Please got to get them if you interested in.
http://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/radio_upgrade_hermes_form_cing.html
Good luck
Asukaly yours!
WTF! This is _VERY_ good news!! :shock:
How did you manage to cook the type 2 radio rom??
Is Ma_Upgrade_NoID working with the hermes bootloader?? AFAIK the bootloader lacks wdata command... (replaced by 'wdatah')
Is it that you need only rwdata but not wdata to flash radio?
An explanation of the process to create the working nbf out of the extracted .nb files would be very useful!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I uploaded the files to xda-dev FTP and make a new wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Thanks for the new Radio update. Just updated my MDA Vario II. Will test if there's any improvements!
Seems to work like a charm!
ROM 1.18.255.3
ROM date: 07/22/06
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Ext ROM 1.18.255.106
Radio 1.16.00.00
And my Bootloader remains at V1.04 :!:
(I'd have pasted a bitmap, but I couldn't figure out how!).
Major kudos to Asukal!!!!!!!
Now if we could only find a new TyTN System ROM to go along with this spiffy new radio...
super Asukal, great news!!!
about the screen alignment problem, if you have some free time, could you please translate whats is the problem and how they do to fix the screen alignment problem please
http://inuchanbt.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-86.html
thanks you so much Asukal!
I am receiving country id error : 120 while attempting to upgrade the radio from Cingular 1.31 ( radio 1.13). Even when i ran the upgrade second time device seems to go into radio update screen but just sits there and doing nothing.
then the radio updare error comes up. following the soft reset I have checked device information and radio version is still: 1.13
device is HTC TyTN, originally shipped with Italian ROM.
any ideas?
@superduper: I guess you need a 1.04 bootloader to perform the radio only rom upgrade from Asukal, but your current rom has bootloader 1.06
Let's see if anyone else with Cingular 1.31 rom can do the radio only upgrade or has the same problem you reported...
@Asukal: please give us details on how you did to extract the "radio_.nbf" from shipped Hermimg Cingular NBH file
this is super excellent. Now all we need is a rom image update then we can make our own aku 3.2 version.
Good job Asukal.

if no_id_upgrade can not work on Bootloader 1.06,
can u try with Hermes Upgrade.exe with this nbf?
(you must remove nbh before that, i didnt try that so i am not sure it work or not) :?

Is it any better?
So, a question for those of you who've done the upgrade - does it make any difference you can notice? Just wondering if it's worth doing the upgrade at the moment, or waiting for new HTC rom when it finally appears.
Tried this on a Orange M3100 with the 1.31 Cingular ROM, but it doesn work. Just sites at 0% and then you eventually get an error. Seems like you need bootloader 1.04 for this to work...
are there any improvements using these new radio roms? also, what's the difference between 1.10 and 1.16?
thanks
I wasn't having any radio problems previously, and so far, I haven't seen any issues with 1.16, either.
Bluetooth works fine, UMTS/GSM calls work fine, WLAN works fine, and UMTS data works fine...
If I see any strange behaviors, I'll be sure to point them out...

Aaaaghhh! I can't wait
Please tell me if this process is correct to create the radio_.nbf:
Code:
nbh2dbh.pl HERMIMG.nbh HERMIMG.dbh
dbhdecode.pl HERMIMG.dbh
alpinenbfdecode.pl -e ./GSM.nb radio_.nbf
My radio_.nbf and yours differ, is it because of headers?
Thanks!
Just tried the procedure on mine.
Hardware = Dopod 838Pro
ROM = imate
Upgraded to radio version 1.16, the procedure worked fine! Except that after the flashing was complete the PC displayed "upgrade failed" but after a soft reset of the PDA, it worked.
You did a great job, Asukal!!!
I can see some improvement that I can see more wireless bar on my title bar after I upgrade radio ROM.
Thsi is cingular ROM, so I don't know somebody who lives outside US can see this improvement, but I can see it in my rural US state.
In addition, as you said, I can see OS runs smoothly than my original ROM.
I was usually stuck when I run "menu" or "button" applet in control panet. But after I upgrade to Radio 1.16, I don't have it.
I don't know why, but it is real.
I appreciate your effot!!
works great, thanks..
guys who can not flash Radio
One of my friends try to flash 1.16.and faild in that.
But could flash 1.11.
then tried 1.16 again, finally he could flash 1.16.
Please try this step.<this is not to guarantee can do, just a possibility>
And i will prepare 1.13 also soon.
Ohh yeah baby,
It's been done. They havn't said it has been done, but I assume that it has since I have checked their sice a couple times a week for the past couple of months just waiting for something to be said. They have removed the message about Softbank phones being unable to unlock. So I "ASSSUME" that you can now fully crack your phone with Softbank v1.09. Also for the simle fact that it is version 4 http://www.imei-check.co.uk/M3100v4Unlock.zip of their software instead of version 3. So, now we can crack, our X01HTs, we can downgrade to 1.04, flash with a English rom, then downgrade again to 1.01 and then flash with our custom splash screens.
Imei-check has cracked post December Softbank phones.

Interesting! Anyone tried it? Are you x01ht post december 2nd, able to flash another radio after unlocking?
Success!!
I tried as soon as I saw this post, I had previously bought the IMEI thingy (technically speaking) and realized that my phone was a post Dec. (I originally thought I got it in November, but I realized that I was just an idiot)
anyways a couple minutes later I'm using my Docomo Card on my unlocked Softbank phone.
I'm not gonna lie, it was well worth the $40.
Now, I am not sure if my mail is working. So you guys have any idea about the Docomo mail if that works or not on the Hermes?

They say as follows;
(1)
How do upgrade other radios:
Unlock using v4b unlocker. Upgrade again to the X01HT 1.09 rom. Now flash the phone with a COMPLETE rom (for example cingular 1.24 or imate ). Now the radio will be changed to something else. YOU MUST flash a full rom on a 1.09 so your radio it be flashing too.
(2)
ok again. PRIOR to flashing NEW RADIO ROM you have to upgrade to bootloader SPL1.09. You DO NOT NEED to run the unlocker again. Your phone has to show SPL1.09 when you run the ROM update with the radio of your choice.
Extended ROMs are EMBEDDED in the firmware update. Any access from WindowsCE to this ROM has nothing to do with SIM or CIDunlock.
So solution:
1) Update to bootloader SPL 1.09
2) Then run the update with radio firmware you like
NOTE: DO NOT RUN THE UNLOCKER AGAIN! Then it will work.

1) you can actually change radio rom 1.14 on x01ht?
2) you need to have bootloader 1.09 (by burning a full rom that includes bootloader 1.09 first) to burn a rom from different companies? after unlocking??
3) you should not use the unlocker more than once?
we'd appreciate if you could give us a clearer idea about the process. thanks.

To upgrade radio on a new "1.14.00.10 radio":
First unlock the device with v4b unlocker.
After unlocked ok, upgrade AGAIN to the SB firmware so the 1.09 bootloader back in place.
Now flash the device with a FULL original HTC Hermes firmware (for example cingular full firmware) and now the radio will be flashed to a different one.
IF bootloader is NOT showing SPL1.09 the radio it will NOT be flashed when you do the flash upgrade!!!

Thank you. But it is not unable to flash another radio rom.
I downgladed SPL from 1.09 to 1.04 for myself first,changed to a DOCOMO ROM.
And succeeded unlock to use M3100v4Unlock.exe.
However, the radio was unable to flash another radio rom.
Then,I read this advice,flashed a New Softbank Rom.
It was no lock.
However,can not run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
Unable to flash radio rom.
I think because SPL is 1.09.
Then,M3100v4Unlock.exe was made to run again.
When it used this tool, it became automaticaly SPL to downglade to SPL1.04.
I can run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
But, it is not unable to flash ...

And succeeded unlock to use M3100v4Unlock.exe.
However, the radio was unable to flash another radio rom.
Then,I read this advice,flashed a New Softbank Rom.
It was no lock.
However,can not run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
Unable to flash radio rom.
I think because SPL is 1.09.
Then,M3100v4Unlock.exe was made to run again.
When it used this tool, it became automaticaly SPL to downglade to SPL1.04.
I can run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.
But, it is not unable to flash ...

To upgrade radio on a new "1.14.00.10 radio":
First unlock the device with v4b unlocker.
After unlocked ok, upgrade AGAIN to the SB firmware so the 1.09 bootloader back in place.
Now flash the device with a FULL original HTC Hermes firmware (for example cingular full firmware) and now the radio will be flashed to a different one.
IF bootloader is NOT showing SPL1.09 the radio it will NOT be flashed when you do the flash upgrade!!!

Hi all.
My Softbank has b/l 1.04 and the 1.14.00.10 radio on it. To use this method,which rom do I use for the 1.09 b/l? I looked at wiki,and the only one was a Japanese version for softbank. It does not match my Softbank, so I am not real sure which way to go. Is there a Dopod rom with the 1.09 b/l?
BTW.....My Sb is an HERM200 with the Dopod splash screen and was shipped with the Dopod 1.23.707.4 WWE Rom, IPL 1.01,B/L 1.04, and the dreaded 1.14.00.10 radio on it.
Thanks................Later
I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Dopod chinese ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.10_Only_SSPL.rarThis radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and no GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Note: Same radio GPS enabled (from trinity) is available here
Enjoy!
Thanks pof!
Flashing now...
EDIT- Flashed 100% ok, now using with full network reception.
Will post again if there's any probs.
is it have problems when i flash this radio to my x10HT?
no, there is nothing at all special about the x10HT folks...
personally, I recommend everyone uses this one instead of the trinity radio simply because we can't have GPS anyway and for the power you're wasting on non-working chip, it's pointless.
just wanted to say thanks. i had the newest trinity rom installed earlier and this has better battery life.
thanks a lot pof
I think I'll give this one a try... Thanks!
Given my device is SuperCID, does it make sense to apply the Hard-SPL still?
I have HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11 but I install this new radio because the previous one spent the battery to me very fast.
moving over to this, no point having the gps enabled deal!
Completely agree, until we can get the GPS on the hermes working (which is unlikely due to bricking risk) there really is no need for us to have the GPS rom from the trin.
pof! thanks man I also had the gps 11 version and i figured why not go with the 10 version as well since we wont get GPS anytime soon, i will test for a few days and report back...
Removed the Trinity 1.38 radio very quickly but initial impressions of this native Hermes ROM are far more favourable.
Not had it installed long enough to get an impression of battery life yet but reception and stability seem good so far.

I was on 1.38 with gps but have now changed over to this version, I wish it was posted first it would have been a lot easier, but I know it is just one of those things.
I will report back if there are any issues with it.
Flashing now, we'll see what happens... thanks, pof!
EDIT: Flashed. So far, no issues
About to flash, but ...
Sorry for off-topic - just curios if anyone is flashing from within VMware.
Pain in the butt to reboot to XP every day now ;-)

I just got a HERMES, with tha radio rom
1.16.00.00
32.53.7018.01H
and my spl is 1.10.Oli
I want to upgrade the radio. Some post in this forum say I should have a 1.04 spl for a safe operation.
Is that neccessary? Because I think since 1.10.Oli is based on 1.04. But I am not sure about this. Is there anyone upgrade radio using 1.10.Oli without downgrade? And how?
thanks!
Use the latest 1.40.Oli
Use always the latest version of HardSPL and upgrade the radio in NBH format using the latest CustomRUU.
I installed the 1.38.00.10 but the battery life drops!
It's still the 1.27 the best radio rom for hermes or the last 1.40 is better? TNX

Got it!
Thank you!
And also thanks to ghz.
Done!
Have upgraded the 1.40.Oli Hard SPL from 1.10.Oli, And also upgraded Radio Rom to 1.38.00.11.
But there is still some accident happened.
When I use the RUU, which is from the wiki, and I am sure I use the RUU ONLY.
But when I run it, and choose autodetect spl, I got a wrong warning.(see the pic attached)
I choose force sspl, and follow the steps, and failed. (feel lucky no bricking happened.)
Again I did not use autodetect, choose spl-1.11/1.13/1.30/1.35/1.40, it's done in less than 15 minites.
So, maybe the second time I was doing right?

are you sure your phone isn't asking for comfirmation when you use autodetect? this feature uses the RAPI of the phone and polls a memory area to check the version... if the phone is rejecting the request then you're likely to get this error.

I did not get any infom from the phone screen. Keep my eyes open widely to watch.
What I have now:
OS: Black 2.0 Cingular edition
Boot Loader: 1.01
Radio BL: 108
Radio: 1.38.10
what I want:
OS: WM 5 from the 1.34 cingular release
Boot Loader: Loader from the 1.34 cingular release
Radio BL: AFAIK you can't downgrade these so staying at 108
Radio: 1.16.00.00
How I plan to get there:
take the .nbh form the 1.34 cingular package and use RUU to flash the device.
Questions and concersion:
I'm looking for input on possible incompatabilities and hang-ups with varios BL versions and what not.
comments / feedback on my plan would be greatly appreciated and I will build a monument in your name if you help .
This has been covered before...
But, since you're well on your way to brick-ville, I'll buy your phone off you for, say, $100? It'll be worth less after you brick it...
Read up on the W*I*K*I and Oli's 1.40.Olipro bootloader before you do something dumb.
I did read it.
And thats the plan I came up with.
I was looking more for a confirmation.
The wiki has a ton of great info but its laid out reall crappy and not very cohesive. So I figured I'd post what I've came up with after reading it to see if I missed something. And from there maybe get more specific input on where the issues/dependencies are..... or maybe not.

From your plan it is obvious that, even IF you read the wiki, you didn't understand it. Re-read the THREADS about 1.40 SPL and also search for MRVANX and read his TUTORIALS...

I really appreciate the feedback. At least you're letting me know my plan wont work. Which will prevent me from trying it. But it would be kick ass if you could be more specific about what in the wiki i missed like :
-you can't flash the entire .nbh file cause it will try to replace your boot load and break it.
or
- Re-read the THREADS about 1.40 SPL because *something useful here*
Either way I'm still thankful cause I know my plan is a **** sandwich.
Very good.. You're getting there! It's nice to see someone read some directions..
You have it mostly right.. Flash the HardSPLv6 first. Then, grab the .nbh from the cingular rom and combine it with CustomRUU. Choose 'Autodetect' (we're looking for a hard-spl flash)..
Then, once that's done, you'll have the right radio, OS, splash, etc.. The only thing left would be to down-grade the bootloader, which I would advise against.. But, you can do it.. There is a seperate thread on HOW to do that, as it isn't just a one-step process.. Search and ye shall find.
Thank MAn!!! That kicks ass.
I need to send my phone back because the radio dies every 5 mintes.
So I want to get it as close to factory as possible.
So after I downgrade the BL i won't be doing anymore flashing to that phone.
Sometimes when I soft reset the phone is says "No GSM" even when sim is there. Soft reset it again and the radio is detected.
Very irritating.
Check out:
http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/
Flash HardSPL-1.40
Create NBH containing your provider's 2xSplashScreen + ExtROM + OS & flash it
Flash 1.16 radio
Flash-HardSPL-1.10
Flash your original IPL & SPL versions.
F-ya! That last part about down grading the BL is the part I was having trouble pinning down.
One last question:
Can I use the cingular NBH or will it try to flash the RBL and crash because you can't down grade the RBL
the the new mrvanx page is dope. found the donwgrade guide.
Bricked using this method

Pof,
I did it this way but after flashing the radio rom I get no GSM and then I'm stuck in the Windows Mobile Screen.
I have looked in the Wiki but how can I actually unbrick?
My SPL is still 1.40 Oli. But I can't get activesync to work.
Should I flash the new radio via SD card or any other way (mtty?)
I would be very gratefull for any help,
Cheers,
HJ
P.S. Found a solution; http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5
I will try to do this trick.
Thanks

Done that but then I get a Error 260.....
Any suggestions?
Or is there a way to bypass this? I have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.40 Olipro.
I now got a Connection Error 264 but the bootloader gives usb and I can reach the hermes bij MTTY.exe.....
What is going wrong?
@hellejoep: close all programs including mtty before u run ruuwraper. Make sure you're using the latest version (v4.2) and activesync is not enabled.

@LegolasTheElf,
This was great example on how to get people to read the wiki. I like your approach and I will try to use it in the future.
