I am currently trying to downgrade my spl before sending my phone to be repaired. I am following the Mrvanx guide. Unforunately, I am sending my phone back because the screen input no longer works. Therefore, I can't get past the windows mobile setup screen. So, I can't get activesync to work and therefore can't force use SSPL to downgrade my SPL.... ( RUUWrapper doesn't think there is a phone connected)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers

Which bootloader are you on??
Same as you:
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
I'm trying to do the two part process of downgrading...
Downloads the CHT original rom
Were you able to downgrade? I'm in the same boat, no screen taps and can't downgrade to 1.10.
Read Mrvanx's SPL downgrade guide but it fails with a comm error during the 2.10 to 1.10 downgrade using hard-sspl. If I select 2.10 as the boot loader it seems to load the spl ( gives me progress bar) but when I go back to the boot loader it's still at 2.10 Olipro.
My touch screen is dead and have to return for warranty after receiving replacement or AT&T going charge me. Screen always stuck at " Tap Hear to setup".
Thanks.
Bypassed aligment and was able to downgrade
In case some poor schmoe finds this in the future, I was able to get around the screen alignment and downgrade my spl.
I found how to bypass welcome screen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=218992&referrerid=366117
Once I did this, I was able to say "Yes" to running enterbl.exe and downgraded to olipro 1.10 using mrvanx's guide and then re-flashed the original cingular ROM which also flashed spl.

Heh apologoies for title but im really stuck and desperate for any help!!
I have been trying to unlock my Cingular 8525 for many hours now without any luck.
I bought it off ebay knowing it was locked because I had seen these forums and knew it wasnt too harder job. I live in NZ we have a compatible 3G network here (they sell these phones branded as JasJams).
Anyway I dont have a cingular sim card, only a Vodafone NZ simcard. I dont know if that is a problem for me or not...
My problem is that I get part way through the update process and the connection between pc and phone gets cut everytime at the same place.
On my bootload screen during the setup it says
HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds
and then
HERM100 IPL-1.01
HERM100 SPL-1.40.Olipro
Then I tick the appropriate checkboxes, I HAVE to soft reset my phone here to get it to sync up with my PC again, I dont think this should be a problem though,
It then gives me the button to select the Update button (Update the radio and bootloader)
So I click that, it gives the next screen, click next, tells you its going to take 10 minutes etc, so click next,
It then instantly disconnects the active sync connection and about a minute later I get an error screen saying the unlocker encountered communications errors.
I have been through this whole proccess 6 times now with no joy
Someone pleeeeeeeeease help me
Thanks
im willing to pay for a code all i want is a unlocked sim phone none of this radio stuff etc
try Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
or alternatively
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
Thanks but not really helpful, I have read the wiki through and through. I have tried that flashing HardSPL v7 and i get exactly the same problem.
PLEASE somebody help me
The only piece that is confusing is what to do once your done. The instructions say that you will be replacing your radio with a tweaked one to allow the unlock. After the entire process is done I assume you will need to have your favorite radio (1.40.3 in my case) handy to flash back onto your Hermes?
I also assume that flashing your favorite radio back to the Hermes won't lock it back again.
To be honest, I'd suggest going back to basics. You could try quite a few workarounds and end up doing this anyway..:
Reflash the original ROM your phone came with. Should be found easily via wiki.
Then you can start upgrading again.
If that's difficult, try flashing from your MicroSD card, which I've found never fails, having bricked my Hermes quite a few times now with my own cockamayme (sp) versions of ROMs that I've cobbled together from bits of code and chewing-gum.
as far as I know you dont need to CID unlock before flashing.... With olipro spl and custom RUU updater you can flash anything on your phone....
laurasaur, after you have installed 1.4 olipro, use custom RUU updater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737
use the RUU updater with your choice of Rom.
or if yo want to unlock the device before

She want's to SIM-Unlock, not to CID-Unlock.
Do you use Vista? I encountered a similar problem with Windows Vista. Try a PC with Windows XP for the unlocking process.
ok my bad....
I've seen this issue with v1.4 Olipro. Upgrade bootloader to the latest Olipro 2.1 version then re-attempt.
ok thanks everyone for your advice but i am still screwed.
im not running vista.
i can not upgrade to olipro 2.1 because the upgrade utility always gets error 260 (update error) the update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.
I have now tried on 3 computers, my own, my parents and my work all resulting in the same thing.
I think now I will try and flash a WM6 rom onto my phone just using the olipro 1.4 and the custom RUU updater and see how I go but I dont have much hope
ok im currently updating the rom to wm6 as posted on the forums and oh my gosh i have a progress bar for the first time ever!! woot~~
um ok. now i have WM6 dopod version and fkn still sim locked someone help me before i throw my phone at the wall lol im going on holiday tomorrow and will have no phone for a week if i dont fix this in the next 3 hrs

Do *NOT* soft reset your phone here, it is normal that activesync disconnects while the pda is in bootloader mode (activesync only works while OS is running). Just click "next, next, next" in the RUU and it will go fine.
woooa i think i love you Pof, I seriously do. Im not sure how I became such a noob at reading instructions but im sorry and thank you so much I now have progress bar
if you're short on time avoid any radio updates, they seem a bit hit and miss - its not worth upgrading then going away to find you've got a tossy signal!!!!
hope it worked out!
my gfs hermes speaker is busted so im sending it back in for a warranty return. i talked to att and they said that upgrading with the official htc rom wont void the warranty and yada yada. the phone at this point is

I've never downgraded IPL or SPL but other than that I've gone back to original config with my UK Vodafone branded Hermes.
There is a section in Mrvanx's guide on SPL downgrading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462 but you may need to search a bit further for the IPL downgrade.
Good Luck.
so at this point my goal is to follow mrvanx guide and downgrade the ipl and spl and then i was planning to reinstall the officially released wm6 upgrade in the hopes that it would put its own version of its ipl/spl on the phone. the problem im encountering is when i run the downgrader the phone asks me will i allow bl.exe to run and i click yes
it goes into the red/green/blue/white screen and says its
herm100
ipl-sspl by des
herm100
spl-1.09.ds
wtf is that? it wont let me go past this point, ie i get an error when it tries to verify information from the phone. i can restart the phone and it goes back to windows and olipro2.10 --- im not sure what direction to go? should i try to put an original wm5 rom on the phone then try to downgrade again or what?
hard spl is the way to go i think
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
i have hard spl 2.10.... im trying to get rid of it and return the phone to factory like conditions, well not really factory cus im going for the official wm6 but essentially i cant send my phone in for the warranty with olipro on it so im trying to ditch it, but the posted methods arent working for me
Searching returned almost 30 different threads. Have you looked here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314107
Are you following the MrVanx guide carefully? I have never had an issue following the steps carefully. The info you are getting is because it is using the force SSPL option, which it should. I would suggest you try again, following the directions very carefully. Good luck. It really should work.
when it gets to the screen where i see spl-1.09.ds the ruuwrapper provided from mrvanxs guide says "Verifying the information on your Hermes... Please wait..."
this is where i get an error 260 and its asking that i check the usb cable and what not which i know isnt the issue. im gonna try this on the other comp in my house which is xp. i have been trying this on a vista machine
so it worked on my windows xp rig. once i downgraded the spl, i reinstalled the official wm6 and it upgraded the ipl to 1.04 and the spl to 2.03 which im happy with and have already placed my order for the warranty exchange.
thanks for the help to those who helpful
My first attempt to upgrade to AP4 did not succeed unfortunately (SPL to 3.50 upgrade went OK though), my power light stayed green and the display wouldn't come on.
So I took the Athena into bootloader and re-flashed back to AP3.
All seemed fine, the "Tap the screen to set up your device" screen appeared, I set it up and let the customization program run.
Unfortunately after the automatic reset at the end of the customization program, the device returned to the "Tap the screen to set up your device" and the customization program started again...
I tried interrupting the customization by soft resetting before it started executing itself, soft resetted during customization, let customization finish again (and again), but the device seems to be in an endless loop....
Any suggestions/help?
Thanks a lot in advance!
this happen because the spl and the kernel, AKA nk.exe, do not match. not sure what to do except try the new ap3 the cmonex posted **not sure if you tried that**
try the 3.0 cmonex posted and enjoy.
solved!
Thanks irus & Pawel062 (and cmonex!), that did the trick!
Probably not a bad idea to advise anybody who needs downgrading from AP4 to AP3 to use that rom. Download it from http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
See cmonex' thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386604
***great Information!***
HEY ALL,
I WAS ALSO HAVING SOME ISSUES VERY SIMILAR TO THESE WHILE TRYING TO "DOWNGRADE" TO ANY ROM FROM AP 4.0. THIS IS GREAT INFO AS I BUILD MY OWN ROMS CONSTANTLY, SO I WAS A BIT WORRIED WHEN I COULDNT SWITCH AFTER TRYING AP 4.O, BUT THANKS TO CMONEX, IRUS, & PAWEL062, WE CAN DOWNGRADE A BIT EASIER!
THANKS AGAIN!

just flash it with normal RUU
I have this problem of the "looping" with the customizations. My problem is that I can't get the device to a state where it is "talking" to activesync and from what I see, I need that to push this ap3spl new file.
When you say "just flash it with normal RUU" can you tell me what that means please? (sorry, noob here...) I've spent hours on the forums, wiki etc and I'm a bit lost.
I'm "trying" to get AP4 w/WM6.1 onto the device.
Purchased unlocked (new) and used on AT&T for 6 months.
Went to update the radio to 1.57 and used the unlocker first. (took out SIM/SD first of course).
Got past step one and then got a black screen on reboot...
I got AP3 to load but now I get this fun looping.. Setup device, load customizations, reboot, and start over.
Sounds like this file in this thread is my fix to at least get AP3 working but not sure how to apply. Can I do it from the bootloader?
thanks in advance for putting up with me
Oh yeah:
My current state:
ATHE100
IPL - v2.02
ATHE100 MFG
SPL -v3.50 OliNex
Eureka!
Ok, I'm not a COMPLETE noob.. (close). I'm up and running. AP3 (new spl) loaded, then loaded AP4. Woo Hoo!
No GPS
Well, I guess I'm "Almost" back up and running.
Since step three never got kicked off, it looks like my GPS rom/radio never was rewritten back to the device.
Any help on how to get just the GPS portion back?
Endless loop after flashing AP4
I have a similar problem. My Dopod U1000 was running WM6 and I upgraded to
radio version 1.58.00 no problem. After flashing AP4 I am in a cycle where my initial boot screen has black and white lines at the top and black at the bottom
Then get the Windows Mobile 6.1 screen and after automatic customizing the
PDA resets itself. I have tried to flash the AP3newspl file but it cant communicate successfully with the synced PDA. Any help?

I cant seem to get a flash of SPL3.5 which I suspect is the problem.

Il download non funziona.
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 ?

Hi guys
before, my htc tytn had a problem, it not recognize the gsm sim and no IMEI showed on informations of the PDA.
I supposed that it was a problem of radio rom, and I followed the instructions given on (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665) to unlock and update my radio rom, unfortunately, after the operation began the spl1.60 was downgraded to 1.40.Olipro but can't progress in flashing, the htc hermes SIM CID Unlocker 3.12.3.7 has encountered an 262 (update error), a recovery operation was guided but no result, from this error my htc still showing the three colours screen like below:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
please help me to restore my phone, there is indispensable for my job to get e-mails
thanks
If you're using XP then update .net framework to 3.5.
Go to activesync settings on pc and untick "Allow USB connection".
Reconnect Hermes to PC, go to bootloader (you need to reset to bootloader, true bootloader, not bricked bootloader). Run RUU_Wrapper.exe again. Should get you out of tricolour screen.
When you finish unlocking the Hermes install Hard SPL V7, go to post 1160, page 116 of this thread for sd card method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
???
Thank you for your response but what do you mean by (you need to reset to bootloader, true bootloader, not bricked bootloader).
At the moment you can read the IPL and SPL on your screen, 3 coloured bands running down the screen. This is NOT true bootloader. You need to hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with the stylus to go to real bootloader. Looks the same but is real and not a cocked up version.
Cheers...
Yes, but when I am doing this, the same screen become to me, with :
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose that the real bootloader was replaced by the second one from Olipro.
regards.
No, the info you give is right, you upgraded the SPL to 1.40. However, just doing a reset with stylus may bring you to that screen but there may be a fundamental difference in how it flashes the SPL again. You need to do the bootloader reset to make sure that there will be no problems upgrading or you may end up with an unrecoverable brick. It may be fine to use the "bootloader" screen you get with a reset, but its your Hermes you will loose if something goes kaka.... And withot Hard SPL V7, you may not be able to recover it...
Cheers...
