Although all the information can be found on the forum and in the HTC Hermes Wiki there are always many posts with questions about upgrading and unlocking. I hope this will make it a bit clearer for you:
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.
CID
The CID your device has varies from operater to operater. It should garantee that only upgrades from a single operater can be installed (to ensure the device is branded etc.)
You can make your device SuperCID wich is some kind of "root-mode". Then you will be able to flash every ROM without thinking about bootloader versions and CIDs.
To find out wich CID your device has use the command "info 2" in bootloader. Read Hermes_BootLoader to know how to use the bootloader.
Preparations
Before you upgrade your ROM (wich will also upgrade your bootloader) you should make your device SuperCID.
Especially if you either upgrade to bootloader 1.06 and there's no Shipped ROM Upgrade with bootloader 1.04 available that matches your CID or upgrade to bootloader 1.09
Unlock / Make your device SuperCID
Use pof's SIM Unlock v2a. This will flash a patched RadioROM that is needed for the unlocking process. Unlock v2a makes your device SuperCID and removes the SIM-Lock.
You need bootloader version 1.04!
The process of flashing the RadioROM and use the unlocker is explained here
There is one restriction: At the moment it's not possible to unlock X01HT devices wich where bought after 12/1/2006 and have bootloader version 1.09 and RadioROM version 1.14.0.10! Please be patient.
Radio version can be checked from Start->Settings->System->Device Information:Radio Version.
Downgrade Bootloader
If you have bootloader version 1.06 and there is a Shipped ROM Upgrade with bootloader version 1.04 available that matches your CID you can flash it to downgrade your bootloader.
Otherwise - you are on bootloader 1.09 or there is no Shipped ROM Upgrade available - you have to use imei-check.co.uk or wait until another (free) solution is developed.
For the method imei-check uses to downgrade the bootloader a working operating system is required.
Upgrade the ROM
If you flash a ROM the first time you should read Upgrade For Beginners and the Upgrade FAQ if you have further questions.
Available Upgrades are listed here
Upgrade RadioROM
There are also Extracted RadioROMs available. You need bootloader 1.04 to flash these!
good summary sn00x. you should post this on the wiki as well.
tthank u very much for the information. it is a bit clearer for me now
Excellent summary for the beginner! Vielen Dank!
Please also read Quentin-'s Hermes Upgrading Guide for a detailed description of the upgrade process and information about ExtendedROM cooking.
it should be posted in the wiki
cristal clear now.... I had posted a question in another thread and read a lot of forums without success. Now I know for sure that have to wait... any ideas on how much time.. thanks for all the help!!!
Super CID
When one upgrades a Radio ROM is it necessary to go back and make the device Super CID again, or is it sticky.
The reason for this question is that I down graded to bl 1.04, made my device Super CID as it was never simlocked, and then upgraded my Radio to 1.27. My device returned a QTEK code, so I just ran Super CID again. It now again displays Super CID.
Is that the way it works?
Thanks for your posting - it certainly has taught me a lot!
@basilrsa: To make SuperCID sticky you need to run Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone while it has the patched radio that shows SuperCID. Otherwise it is lost after radio upgrades.
Thanks again pof

Thanks pof for that information. That's what I figured out so I reflashed the patched radio,reran Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe and then flashed the 1.27 radio.
Just to be sure I reran the Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe.
I guess that should be OK
Has this been put into the wiki? Someone please do the honours and report back with a roger wilco.

bl1.04
Gentlemen,
Quentin wrote:
"Even with the Super CID hack you cannot install a different radio
if your ROM installed BootLoader 1.06 or greater."
If my current machine state is
1. "Sticky" superCID has been accomplished.
2. Task 32 verifies the device is in superCID mode.
3. Bootloader page displays 1.04
does it stay that way for good regardless of what I flash? If I flash a rom which carries bl1.09 what is the bootloader version going to read on the device at the completion of the flash process?
If I make this simple and go buy a IMEI-check unlock to superCID my bl1.09 system will the bootloader page change to read bl1.04 and will it stay that way regardless of what I flash?
Is bl1.04 going to stay put with subsiquent rom loads?
Thanks

Hi, I am quite new with all this things. I just upgraded my radio to 1.27.00.00, does it mean, that my phone is CID locked again (I unlocked it together with SIM unlock).
How do I find oud, whther the phone is SuperCID or not. Thnax a lot

Read the WIKI first... it tells you to issue 'info 2' command in bootloader.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Seriously, if you've CID unlocked and radio flashed your Hermes without reading this far you're probably going to brick your phone sometime soon, so it'll pay to do some more reading before you play too much more.
1.04 vs 1.06 vs 1.09
I've been "burning eyelashes" for the last few days, my Firefox tabs seems like a huge cargo train
One thing i never could understand of all the readings i've made is about the functional advantages on the various bootloaders . Let me explain:
I know 1.04 is the only one that allows radio-only flashes but let's forget all flashing. Let's concentrate on everyday's use.
Does anyone know if 1.06 and 1.09 will make the PDA run better? I mean, if there's a newer ROM that brings bug corrections and new features so i guess that's the same for bootloaders. In this line of thinking 1.09 should do something better than 1.04. If so what is it?
Why i'm making this question? It's because everyone wants to have the best software version for himself uses, so i don't understand why people improve on ROM's, ExtROM and radios but keep a lower version of the bootloader after flashing. Aren't they missing something using 1.04 instead of 1.09?
I have my TyTN only for a week now and i'm looking forward to do things right by reading all that i need to know. So far this is the question that i haven't seen answered.
Cheers everyone,
Evandro
Well...I'm no expert but I'd imagine that you're venturing down the wrong path. I would venture a guess that many of the bootloader revisions have been made solely to enforce increased security or to attempt to prevent hacking or modding of the underlying OS and Radio ROMs.
That was a really great summary and guide. Unfortunately from all the threads and Wikis I have been reading I feel like alot has been changing very fast and I don't fully understand. This guide was great, and I was wondering if the author or anyone else (there are a bunch of guys on here who really know what they are doing) could write an updated (mabey even more detailed/technical) version. I know how to do all the flashing and stuff, but I'm not so confident I know how it's all working, especially the more recent stuff. Mabey including how stuff like the SSPL, hard SPL, mtty, KITL, nbh/nbs, and other more technical methods being used now other than the standard RUUs.
I know almost all of this info is in the forums and the wikis, but it's a little rough to grasp it all when not together. I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I just figured Quentin was gracious enough to do it once mabey he or someone else would want to do it again. If it's too much to ask then just ignore my request. I have been reading the forums for a few months now and think you guys are doing amazing work. You have improved in weeks what it takes MS to build in years and you do it much better. Thank to all and sorry again if I offended anyone by asking this (just really scared to brick my really expensive phone ...lol)
Thanks

good job..
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.
www.imei-check.co.uk
-Joe.
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.

i don't fully understand you. are you saying imei-check says;
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.

Same here. I don't understand what the process is. If "they" means imei-check and if you have their written response on the process, please copy that and paste it in your reply here. It doesn't matter if it's long.

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 ...

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
cant downgrade to bl 1.04 from 1.09
i have imate jasjam

i want upgrade to radio 1.27
I can think of 2 ways to do this.
The first way requires that you have already made your Hermes SuperCID. Essentially, you flash the 1.01MFG bootloader then use that to flash the 1.04 Bootloader. Once complete, you'll be able to upgrade your radio. See the 1.01MFG bootloader thread for files/howto. I believe its all in the Wiki too.
If you are not SuperCID, then you must find the bootleg 1.04 bootloader flash solution to upgrade your radio.

By all means, take the time to SuperCID your device using pof's solution once you're on BL1.04 sam2000
i try many time to flash the 1.04 Bootloader by flash the 1.01MFG bootloader
and evry time error
can you tell me mr Sleuth255 how can downgrade from 1.09 to 1.04 stps by steps
thanks for you
If you are not SuperCID then you cannot succeed until you obtain the bootleg 1.04 downgrade solution. We do not host that here as it contains proprietary IMEI_check code.
However, from you first post it appears that you may be SuperCID since you are running the SA 1.35 TyTN ROM on a JasJam device. If that is the case, you can simply flash the RUU radio upgrade RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe.
edit:
to your question: the key to flashing the 1.04BL from the 1.01MFG bootloader is the version of mtty you are using. If you are trying to follow the instructions using a version of mtty that has the default "MFC" icon, then it won't work. You must use the version of mtty included in the 1.01mfg bootloader download.
my device SuperCID
Best option is to upgrade radio using RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe then.

Dead Link!
The bootleg 1.04 bootloader solution is actively pursued by IMEI-check. It never surfaces for very long....
However, sam2000 doesn't need this since he is already SuperCID. The 1.01MFG bootloader solution can get him to 1.04BL.
Hi...
I've this problem where my friend's Dopod 838 Pro has its flashed crash at 14% and now its Bootloader is 1.09. Its giving the NO GSM error but I cannot seem to downgrade the bootloader because its CID is also corrupted. It doesn't even accept the generic Dopod ROM upgrade!
Anyone one help?
I've used this method several times and it worked for me:

BTW, you will be able to use shipped 1.27 radio.
so when we get a message from info 2 that has HTCSuperCID in it then were safe to do whatever right?
@pof

Yes, once it is SuperCID you are able to flash any shipped ROM in NBH format.

please READ: to flash an exctracted radio you need bootloader 1.04, your bootloader is 1.09. The radio 1.27 is offered in two different formats: shipped (NBH) file which you will be able to flash and extracted (NBF) file which you will not be able to flash unless you downgrade your bootloader to 1.04.
@pof (hi again LOL!)
From what ive read (see my sig am on 1.09) i cant use these upgraded radio ROMs, but if im not really having any unwanted issues is it even worth trying to downgrade to 1.04??
More to the point (im most probably wrong but...) to downgrade to 1.04 i must flash a different ROM, im happy with the HTC south Africa one?!?

If you are happy with the 1.18 radio, and don't need to access the radio bootloader or AT command interpreter, you can keep 1.09 bootloader without problems. There's no difference in day-to-day use of the Hermes as a PDA/mobile.

That's a way, but as I see in your signature your device is SuperCID, so to downgrade the bootloader you don't actually need to flash a full rom. The steps would be:
1. Flash bootloader 1.01 MFG
2. Flash SPL-1.04 from bootloader using 'lnb' if you don't want to keep the MFG.
You can do this without having to hard reset your device.

Sweet! Would it be a good idea to stick with 1.01 MFG if im planning on pursuing the GPS thing (IF we get past any risky stuff!), or even if i want to use some cooked goodies later on?
@mrvanx: Yes, it's the best one for playing with this kind of stuff
Please help Pof

I am trying to establish the CID status for my TyTN.
I get the following code: HTCSQTEK_001ÖUSB>
I cannot see a thread where I can decypher it.
What is my CID status?
I am on bootloader 1.09 that came with the SA ROM.
Would like to upgrade the radio to 1.27
Thanks

Your CID is the part just after "HTCS"
So in your case you get (from info 2) "HTCSQTEK_001ÖUSB" so your hermes is an English HTC branded device, your device is not SuperCID yet.
Check this post to see which it is (im only going by memory)
EDIT: I upgraded to the 1.27.00.00 radio yesterday, aslong as you use the signed released version (the first option on the related thread) you should be ok, dont use the extracted one. You MUST be SuperCID to upgrade the Radio (covering ones ass).
@basilrsa: Your CID is QTEK_001. Your device is CID locked with bootloader 1.09, you won't be able to flash 1.27 radio unless you downgrade your SPL to 1.04 first, either to continue CID locked and be able to flash extracted radio or to CID unlock and be able to flash shipped radio.
Thanks Pof

Sorry for the stupid question but all this is still new to me.

Hi,
I'm getting the following string:
HTCSQTEK_H10é8Ã3HTCEUSB>
but I don't know how to decode it... Is this a super CID or not?
Thanks in advance!

I had read many post here these few days and got so confuse.
I read in some post that reply from you and get this message,
please correct me if I am wrong.
If I buy a X01HT with 1.09 bootloader now,
Is it possible to downgrade to 1.04 use HERMES Bootloader 1.01 MFG?
After I downgrade to 1.04 then I can use your SIM UNLOCK v2a program
to SIM UNLOCK and CID UNLOCK. Also I can upgrade the radio and
ExtendedROMs to other language. Am I got the right message or wrong?
Thank You for answer my question!!

you can down to 1.04, but u can't get supercid, so u can't get Bootloader 1.01 MFG, and u can't flash other radio or OS.
i think.
If you want to discuss with one member only, please PM that person. If not, don't start thread with "To <member>:" You're only hurting yourself since doing this can limit the hits (people will ignore because title doesn't include them).
answer to your question: no, MFG solution is only available for SuperCID devices.
Sleuth255:
Thanks for your advance, coz Im new here.
So what is SuperCID? How I can know my mobile have SuperCID or not?
If not, how can I change to SuperCID?
Thanks!
"The CID is a string that identifies carrier and language of your device, it is contained also on ROM upgrade files and is used to check that you're flashing your device with the right ROM."
So SuperCID allows things from a different carrier to be flashed to your device without needing your specific vendor updates.
Connect to your device in bootloader mode through mtty.exe and issue the 'info 2' command. Do not copy and paste commands into mtty.

Your method can work on bootloader 1.09?
If yes, after I change to mobile to SuperCID, then I can downgrade to 1.04,
right? And then I can upgrade the Rom, radio also?
I'm pretty sure that there's no SuperCID solution yet for your phone. I know you can unlock with the IMEI-check unlocker and I believe that takes you back to BL1.04, but you can't get to SuperCID since pof's custom radio won't flash on yours due to the radio bootloader yours has. Here's a link to a thread on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290228
You can make x01ht post dec-2nd SuperCID by paying imei-check unlocker. This will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 too. After that you can flash 1.01 MFG if you want, and also unlock your ExtROM. To flash other radio you'll need to upgrade the bootloader to 1.09 again and use a radio in NBH format (shipped 1.27 for example). Your radio bootloader can't be downgraded and you can't flash extracted radio roms. That's all
To be simple, Post Dec X01HT can only be unlocked & superCID by IMEI-CHECK (NO FREE METHOD at the moment), better pay if you need the phone function.......
Ahhh... so the new IMEI-check unlocker also does SuperCID. Damn.... How'd they get their custom radio flashed I wonder? That's good news for users of this phone!
You said I can't update the Extracted Radio ROM, that mean I need to download this file "RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe", right? Is it the post 2nd-Dec X01HT problem, even I downgrade to B/L 1.04, I still can't upgrade the Extracted Radio ROM? One more thing, how can I upgrade to B/L 1.09 again?
Thanks
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

Yes, it's forced by radio bootloader 0108, you can upgrade to SPL-1.09 to flash radios in NBH, read more here:
