wow i am so lost with all of this... - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

ok so i just recieved my Cingular 8525 today after having my 8125 stolen.
i am trying to successfully install iiwpo but i have encountered a lot of problems so far:
1. i am trying to CID unlock so i can write IIWPO to the extended ROM. on the startup screen i cannot see anywhere that states if i have a 1.04 or 1.06 bootloader so i haven't even attempted to unlock it for fear of damaging something.
2. i can't find a working version of iiwpo. the file that i have downloaded seems to be corrupt and it won't unpack...
i don't want to lose this phone like i did the 8125- please help!!!
p.s. oh and i am also looking for the name of that program that is packaged in with the molski ROM for the universal that places the little red dot in the 'close program' X and asks if you REALLY want to close the program or not. can anyone provide a name for this particular program??
thanks in advance for any help!!!

The hermes doesn't display ipl/spl info at startup like the Wizard did. You have to go into bootloader mode to see it. However, it's already known that your 8525 will be running the 1.34 Cingular ROM which has BL 1.06. To unlock, you have to flash to the v1.30 ROM here which has BL 1.04. Then you can unlock/SuperCID and go back up to whatever ROM you like. SuperCID will give you R/W rights on the ExtRom once it's unhidden using the tools here.
Flashing is much more dangerous on the hermes than it was on the wizard due to the timeframes involved (flash takes 20-30 minutes). Be absolutely sure you have a solid USB connection. Read up on flashing best practices here too before you start. You've got an hour or so of flashing time in front of you:
- downgrade to v1.30
- unlock & superCID
- upgrade to v1.34 again

Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker Available (v2a)

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.

Great to see that it is finaly done !
You did an amazing work there! As my device is already unlocked I cannot test, but I am pretty sure that it works flawlessly ;-)
Will this work on T-mobile Vario II
Or is it for HTC devices/ Roms only?
Should work on all Hermes, definately works on Vario II with Dopod Rom.

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 ?

HTC HERMES (M3100) - fatal crash, PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
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
Please help.
Thanks
If your device is still working ok as a PDA then hopefully it just screwed up the radio update of your device.
Try reflashing the Radio only
Look Here

Post back with results
Regards
S.K
EDIT: Sorry only works on 1.04 bootloader only. Afraid your gonna have to wait for Pof to come up with a 1.06-1.04 workaround
Hi S.K,
Thanks for the info. I have now tried installing the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade but unfortunately the radio upgarde crashes also. It all seams to go well, (after using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice) the phone says "Upgrade Radio Stack Please wait" and the progress bar appears on the PC but then after 10 mins I get an ERROR 114: RADIO ROM UPDATE ERROR.
Do you think this might be becuase the last upgarde partly installed bootloader 1.06?
Any other suggestions - I'm desperate to get the hpone on M3100 working again.
Thanks

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
Please post USB monitor capture, otherwise can't help u.
Hi Pof,
Thanks for the offer, I will sort out the usb software on Monday. Are there specific actions that I should try, obvioosly I will usb monior everthing I do but I want to keep it to the point and not waist yr time trailing through huge log files.
Cheers
BTW - I have tried all options of recovery, such as attempting to install the latest radio and trying to install the new rom from an sd card, trying several roms and using imei unlocker - all without any joy.
I think the problem is that I have partially installed radio and bootloader 1.06 so I can't fix the problem.
Thanks again.
@wotthefok:
For me is faster to look at the usb log file, then I exactly know why the upgrade fails, otherwise I have to decode it from your feedback and I can't be really sure. Check the "upgrading problems" page on the wiki, if none of the steps there seems to fix your problem, post USB monitor log please.
Log Files as requested
Hi,
I have captured information using usb monitor and attached the zipped log files for your attention.
The first is called USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_twice. This log details attempting to install the HERM_1.20.31.10_type2_radio_fixed upgrade, and running it twice - just in case.
The USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_twice.zip details attempting to install the RUU_HER_Cingular_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship upgrade, simply using the standard ROMUpgradeUt.exe method. This generates the expected Vendor ID error.
My primary focus is to install the radio upgare or download my bootloader to 1.04. The PDA part of my m3100 does now freeze occasionally but at least functions whereas the phone is completely dead.
Thanks in advance.
Please attach capture in *ANSI TEXT FORMAT*, the .lgs file you zipped is totally unuseful
Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".
Also make sure you export in "COMPLETE" view, see the wiki for more details.
OK, Spot the novice.... I have now created a txt log file that captures activity of me running the 120 Radio upgarde - but only once this time. I still had to zip the file due to it's size. Hope this is OK.
I'll send the other logs within the next couple of hours. Please let me know if the output I have sent so far is acceptable?
Thanks

No, it's a "basic" capture, you have to export a "complete" capture:
Start USBMonitor.
File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish
In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".
Right, Try again (duh!) OK, I've tried to keep the log files names as self-explanitory as possible... USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run1.zip is the r20 radio upgrade, 1st run and USB_monitor_log_Herm_120Radio_run2.zip the second run - without disconneting or resetting the device.
USB_monitor_log_runing_Cingular_1.34.502_11_uprgrade_ran_twice.zip is the Cingular upgrade run via the ROMUpgradeUt.exe, again run twice without disconneting the device.
Hope I got it right this time.....Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Thanks.
This time you got the captures right
- You're on bootloader 1.06: You don't have 'rtask' command, you won't be able to do any radio upgrade only.
- Your device is not CID unlocked (Security level=FF, unprivileged)
- The bad flash caused the CID area to corrupt (CID: Wait interpreter timeout)
- When flashing a full ROM you get a CID not allow (255) this is because your corrupted CID doesn't match the CID on the ROM.
The radio part is screwed, you could have fixed this if you where in bootloader 1.04 by flashing a full ROM, but as you are in 1.06 you can't because of CID checking. But you're lucky because the OS ROM is intact and you can boot the OS, you should be able to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 from OS and flash a full ROM after, which will hopefully fix your radio.
Just wait until a solution to downgrade bootloader is available (I'm working on it).
Hi,
As I suspected.... Suppose it's not all bad news though - just means that I have to be patient and use my communicator once more. Do you know if the guys at IMEI-CHECK have a downgrade solution? Even if it's a pay for option??
I have already got a IMEI-CHECK sim unlock from where I originally got the M3100 unlocked from Orange to work on o2. That said, I have run either unlocker 2 or 3 with the .unl that I know worked I now get
HTC HERMES v3c unlock
Starting communication.........
Checking device..............ERROR
The device you try to unlock is not supported.
Please contact your supplier site.
Device is rebooting
Press any key to quit this application.
I'm currently chatting to the guys at IMEI-CHECK re this problem.
Anything else I can do to assist you in anyway??
Cheers

They have it (M3100v3cUnlock.exe), but it will not work on your device because your IMEI is corrupted and their unlocker will not be able to read it and to check/compare with the .unl key file.
Hi,
Just a quick update. The guys at MIGsofT LTD have VERY VERY generously said they'll have a look at the problem for me so my phone will be winging it's way to them today.
Thanks for your assistance and helping me be certain of the problem and to better understand the root cause.
Hope this information will prove useful to others.
Another quick update...
The guys at IMEI-CHECK (MIGsofT LTD) have rectified problems with my handset and managing to reinstall bootloader 1.04 in the process!!
They also turned my phone around in under three days and only charged me the cost of postage! I had previously been a customer of theirs but it was still a very generous and helpful offer and I would certainly pay for the service than have a duff handset - after all £250 + for a paperweight is rather excessive....
If you're experiencing a problem like mine why not get in touch with them and offer them money to have a look at your handset? No Guarantees but it seemed like my last chance, for a while anyway.
Praise to IMEI-CHECK for a brilliant service - they are King of the day !!

What's the current status of downgrading bootloader 1.09 ?

Hi, I'm a newbie here.
I have great interest for purhcasing Softbank X01HT.
At the beginning, I proposed to flash the rom to English verison.
But recently, I see some messages that we cannot downgrade the bootloader 1.09 to 1.04 anymore.
Therefore, I would like to know ........
Is anyone working on the downgrade method for bootloader 1.09 ?
If so, what's the status now ?
Can I expect there will be a new solution coming soon ?
So many questions ..... hope someone can answer me. Thx !
1.09 to 1.04
ok, what I understood is :
1- you can download from 1.09 to 1.04.
see :
Bootloader
The bootloader is the place where you can change the low-level software parameters and some hardware parameters of the Hermes, change and read the ROM and provides information about it.
The bootloader is invoked 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.
The bootloader version is shown for a short amount of time when booting the device. You'll see "SPL-1.0X"
Versions
* 1.04
There is a bug in bootloader 1.04 wich allows you to flash any ROM without a CID check. You have to be in bootloader mode to use this bug.
It's possible to upgrade the RadioROM. You can even flash a patched RadioROM wich is needed to unlock your device.
* 1.06
The bug from version 1.04 is fixed. Without downgrading to a Shipped ROM with bootloader 1.04 that matches your CID it's not possible to flash a ROM with a different CID.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.
* 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.
"There was a solution posted on this forum", the remaining of it is here, what can be shown :
1. Go to Google, search for DownGrade_SPL.rar (rq : does not work anymore)
2. Connect your tytn to PC and wait until activesync completed.
3. Run M3100v3cUnlock.exe. Once you see checking device.... in DOS box and whilte screen on your tytn, close the program (Dos box) immedaitely.
4. Run ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the japanese wizard to complete the boot loader downgrade.
5. Reboot your tytn and then put it into bootloader mode agian, you should see SPL-1.04. Great!
6. Download pof's HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a from
ftp://xda:[email protected]_v2a.zip
7. Flash the patched radio rom 1.16, then Reboot.
8. Copy HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe a small PPC app pof wrote into your TYTN memory.
9. Open File Explorer, run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your TYTN and wait about 1 minute until it shows up a completed message. Reboot again!
10. Download mtty.exe from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/mtty.exe
11. Disable ActiveSync, and then run mtty.exe, choose usb connection; Enter. You should see USB> prompt. Type in: info 2 . When you see 00000000 or SuperCID string. You are safe and ready to upgrade to the latest TYTN 1.35 Rom with bootloader 1.09.
2- BUT the trick is that it is impossible to SIM unlock even if you downgrade Right now there is no solution, and I don't know when or if there will be. I hope there will be one indeed...
3- you can still change the language, but it is limited in two ways :
for the good news :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281617
for the bad news :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284765
and a good news in process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284765&page=5
but I don't get exactly how it works...
For more information look around the board, or I will try to retrieve the info.
take care,
I'm looking forward buying the same device

As dam has explained, some time ago we published a method to downgrade the bootloader to 1.04 but this method used imei-check copyrighted files and had to be removed from the forum, some people downloaded the files and it has appeared on chinese and russian sites after we removed it from XDA-Developers, but this method violates imei-check copyright and should not be used, if you are a legal person and want to downgrade the bootloader now you should BUY imei-check unlocker.
I started working on a project to Downgrade SPL by modifying HaRET tool with the help of some other people, we managed to put IPL on ram and jump to it, but we still haven't managed to do it with SPL (the device hangs when copying to memory). Now I'm quite busy and can't dedicate all the time I need for this, but will try to finish it once I know how to copy the SPL correctly... if someone has experience in this and want to help, let me know and I can send you the source of modified haret, but it's still a lot to do... once this is finished there will be a free method to downgrade bootloader, now there isn't.
When bootloader is downgraded to 1.04 you can change the ROM because it has a bug where the CID is not checked if you run the RUU twice. You can also use HERMES SIM & CID unlocker when you have bootloader 1.04. But on softbank x01ht version sold after 1 December 2006 it is not possible to SIM & CID unlock even if you have bootloader 1.04 because the radio is read only and can't be patched. AFAIK no one has knowledge on how softbank did this, and there is no known method to circumvent this yet.

Need help stuck at tricolor screen

Hey guys I'm a newbie... I was playing around and trying to flash a new rom onto my wizard/8125. The program stopped responding on my PC so I had to restart it. Now my phone is stuck in the tricolor boot screen. It says USB is connected but activesync won't recognize it.
IPL. 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
Please help me I just go the phone working yesterday..
The reason activesync won't recognize it is because the activesync program isn't installed on your device, provided the windows mobile can't start. At the boot screen, you can still flash the device. However, I wouldn't play around with flashing your 8125 unless you know what you're doing; there's a chance that you could turn your phone into a brick.
Try flashing it with the Wizard Love rom found here.
You might need the English Update Utility files found here.
Then, if your phone is CID locked, you can use the G4 SoftSPL from this post to flash it with the G4 safe rom of your choice. My 8125 would often freeze at 99% in the update process, but flashing first with Wizard Love would do the trick.
I got it. Thanks for you're help though. I just flashed it with a new ROM program and seemed to work just fine. Thanks again
I have exactly the same problem I am also stuck and I am also showing the IPL. 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.01ip
How did you Supa solve your problem?
I reached this stage after sucessfully installing hardspl and CID_unlocking and then tried to upgade to WM6 and failed to do a hard reset instead remove battery ( I know very stupid )
MDA3 Blue Angel
MDA Artemis
MDA Touch
He All, I managed to resolve by reflashing using ROM 1.1 CID-locked edition by ppctuning.org by simply running it-
Thank you for allowing me to do a lot of reading fro this useful forum

help me ...
You have a G4, and its CID Locked. You'll need to flash the Wizard_Love rom - it will install sucessfully on G4 Cid Locked - and then cid unlock it, before trying to install any other ROM. You need to be carefull not to flash rom's with IPL/SPL information, that includes official ones from T-Mobile!
My ELF (Soft Black) is also stuck in the tri-color screen after trying to flash it.
IPL 1.15.0002
SPL 1.15.0000
Please HELP!!!!
First of all, thanks to all the uber-smart people in the forum that make new toys for my Wizard!
Rabbid, if yours is a Wizard G4, install the Wizard Love ROM as dferreira suggested. If you don't know, check sticky posts on how to ID your phone.
I had the same problem, stuck at the loader screen, because I forgot to soft-unlock my phone.
That's the last time I reflash my phone at 2 AM, after being up since 6AM the previous day
Wizard Love was useful for me!
I had the same problem (tricolor screen), but I flashed my Qtek A9100 and it came again! (I´m so happy)
the rom that I used was Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2.
I hope it be useful for all you, guys!
I have a question. If I was wrong flashed G4 Hard-SPL unlocked device, can I fix the problem using RUU? Usually, I used soft-SPL.
Thanks for the responses on this thread! lol
I used the Wizard love and I do have a g4 phone I checked a million times.
I used the process to Hardspl my T-mobile Wizard and when I turn the phone completely off and on it is the Love Wizard. I got the steps from the XDA Developers Wiki Site.
I wanted to use the Slim Edition of WM6.1 and I have downloaded the zip( or rar) but what do I need to do next. I thought I knew about the flash process because I had experience flashing with GBA and SP but apparently I know nothing.
What I originally did was run the hard-spl G4 program but when the screen popped up to install a ruu ( or the os i gussed) I closed out of it and instead opened the boot loader program that was located in the Slim Edition Folder. I lost connection to my g4 at the white screen...naturally panicked for 30 mins and then realized the soft reset button and did the manual boot loader screen. I then read this forum about the love wizard so just installed it out of fear to try the slim version again.
Also, the XDA Developer process says that the HardSPl process unlocks both SIM and CID is that incorrect? And do I need to be concerned with downloading Radios for my g4 model? Any help or flame would be appreciated at this point. Thanks.
All I want to do is use the T-mobile Wizard (g4) with WM6 or MW6.1 and for it to be unlocked.
Again, Thanks for your time

Well,as you mentioned,its a G4 phone,it cannot be CID unlocked completely like a G3 device,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 with 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL',if you apply "hardSPL' it'll semi CID unlock the phone by flashing a patched IPL/SPL to the phone to trick it to think its CID unlocked temporarily,but it'll stay CID unlocked and "HardSPL' as long as you intentionally don't remove it and you can flash any wm6 or wm6.1 Rom on it. But always be warned that don't ever flash any Rom which have IPL/SPL included in it,it'll 'Brick' the phone.
Did you apply 'HardSPL' successfully ? what IPL/SPL... ? it displays at present.
Secondly,if you didn't have any signal quality or call missing problem with your present Radio Rom installed,then there's no need to upgrade.Some custom build wm6 or 6.1 Roms,do already include updated Radio Roms,which get flashed durinf Rom (OS) upgrade.
Thanks so much for responding.
I don't know what all happened to be honest. When I was using the Hardlsp G4 program after I got the white screen I thought I would cancel the rom that it wanted to install and install the Slim Edition. I was thinking that it was installing an OS and I wanted to substitute it for WM6.1 Slim edition I didn't know that I was cancelling out of the WM6 rom softspl . So to be honest I though I just Hardslp it but I didn't use the softslp which comes with the temporary CID unlock? Maybe that sounds right lol.
Regardless, Now I'm tring to figure out what to do obviously this phone works with T-mobile only and so I thought I could CID Unlock it and SIM unlock it with that program and now I'm thinking i'm screwed lol.
If I followed the HARDSLP directions again to the letter would I get the phone temerporarly CID & SIM unlocked so I can use it or have I messed it up to much? Oh, and the phone seems to be getting a signal although I can't call anyone but the bars are showing beside the indicator.
I did get an issue were when my phone went white it dissconected from activesync and so I had to manual get to the bootloader screen anyway.

Well, with your present IPL/SPL 2.25.0001,its not HardSPL,as you say it didn't complete and you closed it,therefore,its still with its original official bootloaders (IPL/SPL),no harm is done yet.
Now,if you wish to upgrade the phone to wm6,either you can do it with SoftSPL, which'll just temporarily trick the phone into CID unlock and flash the rom,but it'll revert back to CID locked status after the reboot of the phone and if you wish to replace the rom,you'll again have to apply SoftSPL again.Every time you want to change roms,you'll have to apply SoftSPL,but if you apply HardSPL once,it'll remain HardSPL and temporarily tricked into CID unlocked status till you don't remove it.You don't have to apply HardSPL again and again to flash roms,its possible to flash roms easily.but never flash a rom which contains IPL/SPL in it even the official Rom in HardSPL status.If ever you wish to revert back to official rom,first remove the HardSPL and flash the official Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) and then flash the official Rom.
Ahh Thanks a Million.
Zabardast_1. I know it sucks explaining that stuff a million times but it really helped me.
So, If I was wanting to get the Slim Edition WM6.1 I could just
Run HardSLP Program and complete the stepes provided
Then hook the phone up to the computer while its in windows os and then click the bootloader app for Slim Edition? Thus Installing Slim Edition
Then use the the lolwoz03 program to unlock my sim?
Or would the last step not be needed because of hardslp?
I do have Love Wizard on here so when I start the phone up those isp/lsp is what i got.
I think thats the last of my questions and then i'll leave you all alone lol

Yup! First apply 'HardSPL' correctly,read the HardSPL thread carefully understand the method and do it correctly and let it complete,the screen will certainly go white,don't be afraid,its the essential part, it'll only take a minute or so,if it doesn't go white,then consider something is not correct ,after successful application of HardSPL,the phone will reboot and IPL will be 2.21.0001 and the SPL is 2.21.olip,it confirms the successful application of HardSPL.Now its ready to flash any wm6 or 6.1 rom,just hook up the phone and run the RUU in the rom,it'll start to upgrade
Well,regarding SIM unlock with lokiwiz03,you shud do it before HardSPL its much recommended.HardSPL will only flash the patched IPL/SPL which let your device think it has SuperCID (aka CID unlocked) but doesn't SIM unlock,for SIM unlock you have to use lokiwiz03 and generate a SIM unlocking code which you'll insert when using another SIM.
Well, Thanks again
All I know is when I run Lokiwiz it says it can't copy files and it might be inuse. So if there is a better way of unlocking or a way of unlocking the sim after i do the hardslp i'm up for it haha whatever works the best. I think it says it can't find the C:/windows/itsutils.dll and then it says it can't save a certian bat file because it doesn't exsit.
Okay I fixed it by copying the files Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi to folder Lokiwiz03 was in on my computer.
Well, I ran the SlimEditon romupdate utility and it took my phone to tri color screen then activesync discconected and it says it can't connect to my phone now. So did I click on the wrong program?
Thanks a million + Zar
I read something like If I take the .nbf file and transfer it into the muns ruu folder and run muns ruu that it should fix it but it says something about an aku and far when i start the program so I'm hesitent. Also I'm stuck in the Bootloader screen? Should I use the wizard love rom again and then when it finishes use the slimedition with muns ruu?
Well I did that from the bootloader screen (tricolor Screen) and slimedition works the only thing that sucks is that it still shows the wizard love pic when displaying my ipl slp and gsm info...

Your phone is still running wizard_love_rom,it didn't upgrade to slimEdition,perhaps its still not correctly with HardSPL patched IPL/SPL,did you get it HardSPL ?
Well, everything else works fine. I think I soft flashed my phone back when I messed up and so it reset the loader screen with the ipl spl info and then when I hard Slp over top of it the hardslp just didn't remove the screen. It says all the information that it should it just has that love picture on it that is kinda emberresing but I'll live with it to have a working phone and not a shinny brick.
Thanks for everything again and again Zar, Unless you can tell me how to show the battery life correctly on the main screen in Slim Edition I finally don't have anymore questions for you . lol
Thanks

What are the steps for upgrading my Jasjam ?

I Have read allot of data, unbrick tutorials and upgrades suggestions...
but I Still haven't found what is the correct upgrade stages.
As far as I have read from the unbrick suggestions, I've reached to the following order:
1) Upgrading SPL (Enabling KITL)
2) Unlocking
3) Upgrading radio
4) Upgrading Windows
Can someone confirm or recommend/add other steps ?
During the upgrade steps, will the HERMES be usable ?
Unlock first THEN hard spl.
DONT mess with your radio if it works fine, as this is part that can COMPLETELY brick your phone(you may be able to use as a PDA but not gonna be a phone EVER again.)
Load an os(either a stock one OR one of the cooked roms our TOP chefs cook up.), most come as OS only, no radio.
Hope this helps.... Cheers
It is useless for me, I cannot unlock the phone, due to different locking technique.
there are few posts about a locked Jasjam, with no olutions.
all the unlocking process went well, 3 times...
after the unlock process, when I insert the sim, it connects to the network, (indicated with 5 lines) and after about 5 seconds, it disconnect and says :
"The system detected an invalid SIM card"
and asks for unlock code.
now I have the following versions:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.40.Olipro
Radio 1.16
any ideas ?
The Solution
To unlock Cellcom (Israel) JASJAM, As weird as it sounds, you should disable/deactivate/uninstall/whatever the EYRON Multi language support, which comes pre-installed.
I'll let the experts explain it.
I Dont know if it works for Orange-il Tytn too.
please consider note this in unlock guide ?
Now, which version of HARD-SPL with KITL should I Install... (Link will be helpful)
Please note that I Only Unlock the SIM, and not SuperCID, the .BAT file of the unlocker says:
"CID Unlock: will make your phone SuperCID forever, don't check this if you are unsure. HardSPL will do same effect without loosing warranty."
Olipro ver 7(Hard SPL) This is considered the best for the layman, if you want to develope roms/ programs then you should use ver 9. However, ver. 9 does throw up an error after flashing. There is no problem and olipro said he'd get around to fixing it, BUT.......
Hope this helps...

I have upgraded to Olipro V7
When I Boot into bootloader, I see:
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
But I Still not get any sign of KITL according to this threat (Step 5).
The Device is booting normally, as if I'm not holding any bottons.
How can I check if KITL enabled ?
Do I need KITL while using OLIPRO V7 ?
