Hello to all members,
First of all, I have to say that I'm a new user of softbank and a new member of xda-developer,
As I tryied to unlock the WM5 rom in my HTC Softbank Japanese version by using HTweakC for Hermes / HTweakC Version 2, but didn't success.
I've checked the SPL is 1.04, and then I test the CID with mtty.exe,
found it is not fully unlocked, because the code is not a formal type as the sources which downloaded from the web,
I know there were only three formal code for SuperCID.
So the questions are:
1. Does it need fully unlock before deleting files in HTC WM5 rom files.
2. SPL1.04 equal to fully unlocked ?
Hope I can have reply soon, thanks

Hi guys!
I've recently bought a mda vario II (HERM300) device which was -duh- locked with T-mobile ROM and it was SIM locked.
I wanted to get rid of the ROM lock, so I tried the following steps:
1) Run hardSPL to get SPL (bootloader) to 2.10.olipro
2) Flash it using HTC WWE ROM (WM5)
As described on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Everything went well and I was running the latest - at the time - WWE HTC ROM. All ok at this point.
After working with this ROM for a while, I wanted to run WM6, so I did some research and stumbled upon JasJammin's Black Edition WM6 ROM. While reading I came across this other post on the forum stating that my step 1 in the previous action did NOT actually turn my device into SuperCID. *I got kinda worried at this point*
I used POF's CID/SIM unlocked v3a and followed the instructions. It said it was succesful and I tried to install the Black Edition WM6 ROM. This was also succesful, but left me with some questions:
1) My new ROM is obviously a cooked ROM, which doesn't contain every aspect of a rom (i.e. it doesn't have a radio rom). Is there a way to check ALL versions of every ROM-aspect I have currently installed or should I check the ROM's (HTC WWE WM5-ROM) details and the details of the currently installed Black Edition?
2) How do I check whether or not my device is SuperCID now? Yes I can install the latest plain HTC WM5 ROM and the cooked Black Edition WM6, but I would like some confirmation on this.
Cheers in advance!

i've got an 'old' mda vario 2, which i unlocked using pof's cid and simunlock tool. i want to upgrade to a new WM6 rom (either the tmobile or htc wm6 rom), and for that i may or may not need to be cid unlocked. the most important is, that i stay sim unlocked.
so if i upgrade to the stock shipped WM6 (dutch) tmobile rom, i off course do not need to be cid unlocked (only if i want to upgrade to the WM6 htc rom, which in the end i prefer!!!).
but i've been reading around, and there are radio roms around that when the device is upgrades with that particular rom, the device becomes simunlocked again to that provider (in my case maybe Tmobile) without any hope of simunlocking it again. The devices i'm talking about are the X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665&highlight=cid+unlock
so here my question, i know for a fact (or i think i do since it is a pre 2007 mda vario 2) that i do not have an X01HT device. but after i upgrade to the orginal WM6 rom (either the tmobile rom or the HTC rom) will the radio rom in the new original tmobile rom simlock the device again (and thus putting the unlockable 1.14.01.10 radio rom on it)?
Or is this only the case for X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10 (since the radio roms of these devices cannot be up or downgraded).
any help is appreciated
Use HardSPL - this will idiot-proof keep your device unlocked / safe for most failures if you follow the instructions in the forum and in the WIKI exactly.
The X01HT is a version of the HTC HERMES especially made and rebranded for SOFTBANK (just another company riding on HTC's back ). Your T-Mobile Vario II is not a SOFTBANK!
Read the HERMES section in the WIKI it covers nearly everything, even SIM lock / CID lock. If there are some things in the WIKI which you can't understand just come back here and post your questions ...
Newbie ? What is CID unlock? Do I need to do it to my Cingular 3125 before I can install WM6? Thanks
CID unlock
I am a newbie as well, however with the advice on this forum I was able to upgrade my startrek to WM6.
You must do a cid unlock - thanks to this your phone will be taking on the ROMs which are not made by the official sources.
How to do it - look for it better in the forum, and use the older version of the unlock program!
Just for information: It is not necessary to do the CID Unlock for every WM6 ROM. Erofichs ROMs for example can be flashed without a CID Unlock. I also flashed my StrTrk withot CID Unlock but I know that GnattoSplat Roms always need this way of unlock.
Sooo.... What is it, and why would i unlock my Qtek 8500? I already have 6.1 on it...
_JAAWA
CID = Carrier ID
When you CID unlock, you are making the phone so its not "locked" to a specific carrier's rom. By doing a CID unlock, you could flash a Cingular 3125 official rom on a QTEK 8500 for instance.
As stated, some (all?) of the cooked roms here are not carrier specific, so CID Unlocking appears to not have to be done. Personally, for what little time it takes to do this, just do it and you won't have to worry about flashing a rom and it not working becuase of carrier info.
NOTE: CID unlocking is different than SIM unlocking. SIM Unlocking is what allows you to use any SIM in the phone. CID unlocking is just for flashing different carrier roms. YOu can be CID unlocked and run a different carrier's rom, but if you aren't SIM unlocked, you can't use their SIM... (hope thats clear).
qtek 8500
so is the qtek 8500 from expansys CID locked?It is sim unlocked...
I flashed my Qtek 8500 with Gnats ROM without CID Unlock, Just for Information!
I'm using dopod s300 which is not sim locked.

Flash your phone with a ROM in your language

You can use every WWE ROM around the Niki Section! I recomened at the moment Mary 0.3.3 instead of tom_codon's Niki Project v2! But when tom finished his ROM, this would be the best ROM till the next big ROM project!

Just use the search function in Forum, all you need is here answered many times...
Read stickys and use Search will solve the most problems
Unlocking SID didn't work for me using SID Unlocker. Google for unlocking Niki to get a unlocking code (you need to pay for it, and you need a SIM from another provider to enter unlocking code).
But you don't need unlocking SID for flashing any ROMs! Also the phone is unlocked (ROM, not SID!) as long you have hardspl installed. It won't be overwritten by flashing a ROM.
Niki Project didn't work for me, best I tried was Gullum's. Fast and stable and it uses Manilla
SID Unlock works fine here. Already unlockes some Nikes with the tools provided here
Hi there, my first posting after reading here for a few days...
I got an T-Mobile Ameo which identifies its IPL and SPL like this (in Bootloader Mode)
ATHE100
IPL-1.00
ATHE100
SPL-1.06.0000
I am a little bit confused since I could not find any other person/posting which reported this SPL version of 1.06.
What do you think about this? Is it just normal or do I have to do some precaution measures before CID-unlocking, SIM-unlocking and flashing?
Greetings, forcemaker
Upgraded to T-Mobile WM6
... with the "original" Upgrade Tool, all fine for me; I also figured out that my PrePaid-Provider "Congstar" is D1=T-Mobile net, so I do not even have to SIM-unlock.
All's fine
So this low SPL version which I couldn't find in combination with "ATHENA" so I was guessing if this was a "too old" version.
CU, forcemaker
Hi
I also have this SPL with small differance SPL 1.07
Have you SUCCESSFULY unlock with OLIPRO unlocker
and this ""original" Upgrade Tool," from where is this
Best regards
just used the T-Mobile WM 6 ROM
Hi GSmart,
I did not unlock the device nor SIM unlocked, so I cannot tell whether it will do the job for you.
I used the ROM from T-Mobile Germany (Deutschland, short TMD). As I did not need any modification - I just wanted it to work stresslessly - I just flashed the ROM with the Update tool that was supplied with the download. As far as I got it, it is the original upgrade tool supplied for providers and customers(?).
You can find the original ROMs in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334512
I myself used "German - T-Mobile Ameo" which is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/73352583/Athena_WM6_TMD_2.35.111.3_By_Agent_Bignose.zip
So, if any modified ROM which needs unlocking, will install fine? Don't know. Maybe you could upgrade with an official ROM and automatically with the supplied SPL version and then do your personal upgrade.
But ask here in the forum, I cannot answer this.
Good luck!
1000 times thank you for your attention
