Any ideas? I tried searching the forum already but i can't get a it?
Start in bootloader mode, download mtty.exe and start it, connect via USB.
Then type "info 2" - without the quotes.

HmmmI`ve got this message:

so it is locked or unlocked?..I have the SPL-1.04 and the Orange rom but have managed to installed the 1.27.00 radio rom withouth problems...but now I want to update the ROM with the SA one...
Regards,

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?

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

What is my CID status?
I am on bootloader 1.09 that came with the SA ROM.

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

Thanks in advance!

OK, I've read the wiki and various FAQs on the topic. I am basically looking for confirmation on my plan as I have never done anything like this before. I don't want to see sparks flying out of my 8525 after trying to upgrade.
I have the 1.16 Radio and 1.34 ROM currently and I want to get to 1.34 radio, 2.06 ROM, 3.3 AKU. I think my procedure should be to:
1. perform the CID/SIM unlocker v3 per http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
2. Install the latest ROM per:
http://rapidshare.com/files/18315008/RUU_HER_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.34.00.10_SPL1.04.exe which should update the ROM and radio.
And I believe all of this is able to be done without downgrading to boot loader 1.04.
Thanks for the help.

You dont have too SuperCID but I would. That ROM will not downgrade your BL to 1.04. You BL will stay the same or become 1.04 if you happen to have something lower, which I doubt.

Are you saying it won't downgrade the BL regardless of the SuperCID status, or depending on which BL it currently has?
@pstritt: Based on the other info you provided, I'm guessing you must have SPL 1.06. You should be able to flash that ROM without going SuperCID first, as I've done so myself. My SPL remained 1.06 (why it did being contingent upon the answer to the question above).
Really no reason to SuperCID anymore...
Just run the Cingular rom in the wiki as your first step. Second step is to run Oli's 1.10.Oli Bootloader.

Most of the links for radio only use Des' SSPL, so, SuperCID isn't needed. In fact, you don't even need to worry about having the appropriate BL either as Des' BL uses 1.09 to flash radios, even the 0108...
So, grab the packed RUU and run. Done.
If you aren't SuperCIDing your device, you **REALLY** should install the Oli BL; reason is that if there is a bad radio flash, it will save you in a VERY big way! Highly recommended to do it before you start mucking around too much with radios/os/etc...

Here again, I wholeheartedly agree. Until 1.10.Oli came about the light never went on with me as to the hidden benefits of SuperCID/1.04, despite that fact I had no burning desire to flash cross-CID or "generic" ROMs (...yet!).
Now I understand that it'll give you the ability to manuever in the BL if you happen to hose your radio, etc.

no, enter the thread, there's only one available; the 1.01 stuff is only available as NB files and you have to know what you're doing to flash those whereas 1.10 is available as an RUU update that you can run on your computer to flash; that's the one you want

Stick to running the installer (ROMUpgradeUt.exe) to flash the 1.04-based version unless you really know what you're doing. Olipro left his 1.01-based version as .nb's for this very reason.
Show ExtROM Version
Hi, I'm new of the forum, I would want to know how to show the version of the ExtROM in “Device Information” with version 0.20 of XDA Live. Thanks a lot for the answer.
just to dispel the myth;
SPL 1.01MFG Flashing via mtty is NOT faster than using the RUU; HTC do not deliberately slow down the process, that's just bloody stupid; the reason it can take longer is if you include a Radio ROM, because flashing a radio takes sodding ages, but can people please learn that using a proper NBH is a smarter and safer way to flash their Hermes.
I second that. this myth appeared because 1.01MFG was the first bootloader that allowed us to flash unsigned, but it didn't allow to flash a radio. So there was the general "feeling" that signature checking was slowing down the process, but it was not: the slowness is caused by flashing the radio.
True, but from strictly a ROM cooker perspective, its not faster. It takes time to build/run the RUU & when you're testing cooked roms, its just far easier to fire up the sspl 1.01MFG and lnb the new os.nb directly.
I understand safety to be the presence of BL v1.10.Oli at location 50020000.
Consequently, I keep this version flashed and test out cooked ideas (currently I'm working on the ATI video issue so I've been flashing a lot of test roms) using your 1.01MFG sspl bootloader.
Expanding on this, I believe that production cooked ROMs should include your 1.10.Oli SPL bootloader from a safety perspective based on my understanding that the BL is flashed first in the RUU under the control of the 1.09Des SSPL loader. This will guarantee a safety net should something go wrong during the OS and/or Radio flashing portion of the process. I would also imagine that this is why you state that RUU flashing is safer too.
Maybe this should be SOP whenever a new production ROM is released by Operators too: Repackage everything into a sspl that also loads 1.10.Oli. Of course, when HTC takes their inevitable next steps in this "spy vs. spy" battle, all this may be invalidated...
Here's an interesting thought: Your bootloader advancements have actually helped Operators since using this technique should result in far fewer bricks being returned for new devices. Now the question is this: does this cost HTC I wonder? Or to put it differently: who sucks up the cost of a bricked Hermes that is replaced in warranty. Whomever this is is very happy with you Olipro and likely to offer you a job as a top developer . Conversely, whomever sucks up the cost is gonna put a contract out on you....
JK: The fact is this: both have a contract on you b/c you've invalidated CID
When I run the RUU, I'll open the Windows Media Player to play the MP3 files, and the update process will be finished in 2-3 minutes.
I guess my major question is this:
At what time during the RUU flashing process is the bootloader flashed? If its the first thing to be flashed then my points above are valid. If not, then everybody who flashes needs to insure that they have 1.10.Oli in flash before stripping the bl out of any ROM they wish to flash. Perhaps we could begin to go through production ROMs and designate those that have had this done with another column on the Wiki.

Yes they are: the HardSPL is flashed but the process continues with the current bootloader on device... but after the flashing process ends (or fails) HardSPL is there, which lets you recover the bad flash because even if radio is b0rken the device is seen as SuperCID. Only those with radio bootloader 0108 will need to flash a hardSPL based on 1.09 to be able to recover, the rest will be fine with the one based in 1.04.

BTW: I got your 1.10 version installed and it works very well. Thanks.
I've been trying to read up as much as I can thru the wiki and through the threads but it seems that theres so many technical posts but no posts covering simple questions, so I thought I'd post some here.
1) I first got my hermes (SPV m3100) in February and unlocked it with (I think) pofs tool at the time, it worked a treat, I think that the tool at the time made it super CID as well as unlocking it. Does this pretty much mean my warranty is void already?
If it does, can I revert back to normal CID? (My Bootloader is 1.04 if this helps)
2) The wiki goes a lot about upgrading but doesn't really cover downgrading - I see there is an Orange English rom - if things dont work properly and I want to revert to original, is this possible? Is there a way to revert back to a rom that will still be valid for warranty (for the UK at least)?
3) Will upgrading radio to latest version or bootloader to oli void warranty?
Sorry I know that a lot of these qs might seem simplistic and have been answered many times but I've been searching and it's quite difficult to just get simple answers!Thanks for your help.
I think that may be an Orange Romania Rom in the wiki.

v1 did not make your device SuperCID. Versions v2 and v2a made your device SuperCID without allowing you to choose, since v3 you could choose if you wanted to SuperCID or not.

Depending on your operator, some operators such as SoftBank will not exchange device under warranty if it is SuperCID, others like Cingular do not check it and exchange the device without problems.

yes, just flash everything as you had in the original rom, this is not a problem if your original ROM is available as a shipped update, otherwise you'll have to do some work: take the parts that are the same from any other ROM (ipl, spl, splash screens, radio...) take the ExtROM from wiki or copy it from another device if it's not on wiki and reconstruct the OS from a dumped ROM if your shipped OS is not available, check this comment for more info.

Yes and no: Obviously if you return it for warranty with a radio or a bootloader that was not the one shipped on the phone or an official rom upgrade the operator will possibly deny the warranty for you, but if you are clever enough you will manage to downgrade that and leave it to the original versions you had on your phone.

Current unlocker version (v3a) does 4 things:
1. Change your SPL to HardSPL-1.40
2. Change your radio to patched-1.16
3. Remove operator SIM-Lock (Only if you run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
4. Change your CID to SuperCID (Only if you have htc_boot <= 0107 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
Out of this you can revert:
1. Flash any SPL version you want using SSPL
2. Change your radio to any version you want, and this is highly recommended as the patched 1.16 is quite an old radio.
3. No one has ever asked me to SIM-Lock again a device to any MSL code, but this is possible, so if you would ever need to SIM-Lock it feel free to PM me and tell me which MSL you want.
4. As I said earlier, set your CID back from a SuperCID is only possible if your htc_boot is 0107, should be possible on newer htc_boot but we don't know yet how.

1. Change your SPL to HardSPL-1.40
2. Change your radio to patched-1.16
3. Remove operator SIM-Lock (Only if you run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
4. Change your CID to SuperCID (Only if you have htc_boot <= 0107 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
Out of this you can revert:
1. Flash any SPL version you want using SSPL
2. Change your radio to any version you want, and this is highly recommended as the patched 1.16 is quite an old radio.
3. No one has ever asked me to SIM-Lock again a device to any MSL code, but this is possible, so if you would ever need to SIM-Lock it feel free to PM me and tell me which MSL you want.
4. As I said earlier, set your CID back from a SuperCID is only possible if your htc_boot is 0107, should be possible on newer htc_boot but we don't know yet how.

What is done to make it SuperCID? I would like to set my CID back from a SuperCID, but my htc_boot is 0108. Is it not possible because the htc_boot 0108 cannot be downgraded, and the SuperCID resides within htc_boot? If this is the case, can I just upgrade htc_boot to erase the SuperCID?
@kuekpeow: read point 4 on the reply you quoted again..... changing the CID was only possible on htc_boot 0107, not possible on newer radio bootloaders... upgrading it does not help, and we don't know how to downgrade it yet.
Pof, I'd just like to thank you for your help in this thread! I've managed to successfully upgrade! Cheers!
I'm a real noob with this stuff, but I had to try WM6 Black to see if my issues with the Jasjam (screen locks completely - requiring the battery to be removed for over 10 mins), would be fixed. It is still locking after the upgrade and so I want to take the phone back to be repaired, but I'm worried that the repairers will try stating that the warranty is void because of me changing to WM6. When I try to load the original rom back on (latest supplied by I-Mate), the update starts and then my connection through Activesynch drops out (using USB). I have tried searching for information throughout the forum, but I find it all difficult to find anything on this issue. Can someone please help me with instructions for what to do.
The problem I have is that I bought the phone in Aus, but I am working in China, so I have to make sure everything is squared off before I send the phone back.
Cheers.
I want to CID my device again in case of warranty.
What do I have to do?
mtty says following:
USB>rtask a
Enter Radio Bootloader
0106
and now? what has to be done?
edit: Unlocked with Unlocker V2a, running original T-Mobile-Germany-Rom, no Radio-Upgrade or something in that way, just tried WM6 and flashed back.
No idea? :-(

ASK pof.
our super hiro knows answer.
My bro has a Titan and is thinking about having me upgrade but I saw that his bootloader version states 1.04 not the 1.06 that mine was when I flashed (and also the one that the wiki says too). Is the process the same? Should I just use unlocker then upgrade to 2.40 then install radio then DCD? A little wary as it is not my phone. Please be specific when answering. I am planning to do the most recent radio and rom.

In order to flash a dcd rom you need 2.40...Go through the same process you would in order to flash a 3.1.x rom.

So it still needs unlocker then 2.40 right? or is unlocker unnecessary now?
Who is his carrier? As forthe bootloader question, I'd be asking Ollipro... I've not seen a bootloader 1.04....

bootloader 1.04 is the "stock" verizon bootloader you should still update to the 2.40 if you plan on having any 3.xx.xx radio's
Just to clarify...
When the phone ships it comes with SPL-1.04 which is the stock bootloader, which is why it doesn't say Olipro.
1.06 is also a "stock" bootloader provided by Olipro which allows you to flash stock roms/radios.

Thanks, I have been flashing since the time you needed the old Olipro to flash the radio and when my brother once before flashed going straight to 2.40 it caused problems. I haven't had a new phone since then and wondered if the unlocker was still necessary. I am gathering that it is not and that you can go straight to 2.40, am I correct?
mogul with slight crack along the frame of screen
i've been reading for a while, and someone wrote that it doesn't matter about the bootloader when returning the phone to the store as long as you have the stock rom. i'm using the newer stock rom (3.35), though i did use the unlocker to put olipro 2.40 on it a while ago to mess with other roms.
the work order for the replacement mogul is already in and it (the new or refurbed mogul) should arrive tomorrow or the next day. should i go through the trouble of putting the stock bootloader on there if i already have the newer stock rom from htc/sprint on my phone?
also, i read that sprint has no warranty (or it's only 30 days). i use total equipment protection for $7 per month (which is how i'm getting a new or refurb mogul because of a case fracture). i'm using the newer stock sprint rom (with gps) and my bootloader says olipro 2.40.
does anyone think that i should be worried if i don't do anything before the new one arrives and just give them the cracked one?
i clearly didn't read the terms and conditions closely enough to find anything that tells me not to modify the bootloader or really ANYTHING about the bootloader...is total equipment protection a warranty that i could possibly void by putting olipro 2.40 on it even with the sprint official 3.35 installed?
I wouldn't worry about it. 1.06 is not the official stock bootloader either, 1.04 is, and I've swapped out my xv6800 a couple times with 1.06 on it and the Verizon stock rom. They don't usually check the bootloader. Just make sure the new Sprint stock rom is on there with radio 3.35.04 and you should be fine.
thanks much for your quick reply. i'll rest easier tonight.
