Hi everybody!
Im still looking for my hermes and i found a good oocasion with e new, boxed and not even unlocked orange varioII spv 3100 (the guy said its 1 week old).
Since the device is still sim locked, id like to know (since i read some posts about troubles for unlocking this device) if there is any known issue about unlocking the phone for example with the new HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3 from Pof.
Another stupid question (dont have fun of me for asking it ) that i have not been able to answer for my self looking up in the forum: to sim-unlock the orange m3100, do i need to have a orange sim??can i do this without any sim in the phone?
Tnx in advance to all for ur help,
Greetings from Italy,

I Unlocked My SPV M3100 No Trouble With Pof's Unlocker. As Long As You Can Get Into Windows On The Phone Then No Sim Card Is Required.
Cheers

Hello westie,
use the search funktion for "unlocking" and "ROM" here in the Hermes section.
You will find Threads to unlock your device and you will find available ROMs to flash your Hermes.
For example this:
unlock
Schaps ROM 4.20
or search this part of the forum
hi eightball

sorry but im new too this!
thanks

I'm in the same boat here.
Won an auction for an Orange SPV M3100 on ebay, and plan to use it with Three Uk sim card, and if poss debranding it would be good.
If you flash your HTC Hermes will it still retain all functionality included in the branded rom?!

It will retain the functionality that is not dependant on provider's apps. So it means that settings for Orange MMS, Orange theme with Orange today plugin will be gone. This can however be installed back (you can download those files in extracted EXT ROMS part of Hermes wiki).
Free Hermes unlocker will unlock the Hermes for other carriers too. It can be found in Hermes upgrading forum.

So for example if I install Black Satin WM6 upgrade, will I have all functionality such as video calling, internet (3G & Wifi), mms, camera etc all working as intended with the phones original WM5 Orange branded rom?
The unlocking part sounds easy enough, I downloaded Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a I read the instructions whch say connect via activesync and run the '.bat' file. Should this take long? Should have the phone by Thursday hopefully so would like to know what to do in advance so I can get it ready for my 3 Uk sim.
Hi Chaps,
I had a UK Orange SPV M3100 which I SIM unlocked and also upgraded to WM6 Black Satin... this was a great phone and worked very well for me. I now have a Kaiser and gave my upgraded M3100 to my brother. However, his IT department at work won't allow him to put the latest version of Activesync on his PC (God knows why, but there you go...). WM6 requires this updated version of Activesync.
So, my question is this:
What is the best WM5 ROM out there?
I assume as I have CID and SIM unlocked the phone, these will not need to be done again. Also, am I right in thinking that he may be limited to a 2GB micro SD card with WM5?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

i downgraded my ATT 8525 back to WM5 after realizing WM6 was just too sluggish on the phone. So i just went back to the original shipped version of att/cingular wm5 listed on xda-dev wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
you can find your orange wm5 rom there, just look for the latest version...hope that helps
Thanks for the reply... I am wondering if the Official Orange ROM (linked to on the page you referenced) will install OK, given that I have Hard SPL on my M3100? Will I need a specially re-wrapped version of the Orange ROM to install correctly on my SPV M3100?
Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm considering buying a Hermes second hand here in Sweden, but the one I'm interested in is operator locked to a 3G operator. I guess that it is SIM-locked then?
I read here on the Wiki that the Swedish Hermes model (HERM200 HTC TyTN) is supposed to be unlocked, but this one apparently isn't?! I've also seen several other sellers with operator locked Swedish Hermes.
What does this mean - can it be unlocked? Can I do it myself or will it have to be sent somewhere for unlocking?
When reading the Hermes Wiki-page about unlocking it sounds like you either have an unlocked version or not, that the locked ones you have to send in for unlocking and - as I said - that the Swedish Hermes should not be locked.
Thanks in advance!

The first post in the forum you posted in has HERMES SIM UNLOCKER in the title... might be an idea checking it out.
Ok, thanks. But I thought the Wiki had the up to date information and it seems to say that you cannot unlock it yourself.
But great that I can, thanks!
If that doesnt work try http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php
The unlocker should work, if it doesnt its only £20 to get an unlock code.
Awesome, thanks again!
Then I will dare to buy a locked unit if I "have to".
Run the unlocker available here, it will be fine aslong as you READ READ READ before doing anything. good luck.
