ok does anyone know if the imei-check.co.uk does that do a cid unlock also?
I followed the instructions and installed the new rom from faria's 4 step installer.
My questions are everything seem to go ok however i am getting a
sddaemon cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restorin this file.
What does this program do? how to fix this?
Also when i was doing the flashing there was small icons above the "calendar" "contacts" that are not there anymore. like a blue tooth icon small green circle icon that allows you to restart wizard, small lock so you can lock the screen and buttons.. any idea why these don't show now? i get the little battery and mda that switches the screen layout but not the other ones.
Yes, imei-check does CID unlock.
However it is not required to CID unlock if you use ShellTool and you have a OEM ROM on hand for restoring.
Using aWizard or ShellTool may require you to hard reset for 2 to 3 times for the OS to function without any problem. If you tried to hard reset and the problem persists, flash with the same ROM again.
Thank you Starkwong. I did do the imei-check.co.uk even though i already had sim unlocked my phone with lokiwiz.
i will try hard reseting it a few times to see what happens.
i did find that the sddaemon is for the voice dialer which i just deleted since i don't use voice dial.
i thank you again for replying.

Hi, looking for advice on how to fix if possible a M3100 with failed phone functions. Started when 3G went down in area, swithced to GSM worked for a while then lost signal completely, tried hard reset to fix but during setup i tried to set a pin for the phone element of the device as prompted to do so, on re boot the pin screen showed but neither touch screen or keyboard would allow me to enter it so i re- booted and same thing happened a number of times. Tried hard re set and device works except phone, no signal and doesnt recognise sim as present, cannot enter phone menu through any route. My sim works perfectly in my old phone. Is this hardware or software, phone functions failed before hard re set? would un locking fix this or does it need to go back to HTC?
Any advice appreciated
What do you see in the boot screen when soft-reseting?
You should see in red letters your radio version next to an "R" in the bottom-right part of the screen.
On boot up i see the following in red at the bottom of the screen:
M05
S04
B05
D 1.23
NO GSM
"NO GSM" shows that radio rom is probably screwed.
Go into bootloader and run the commands "rtask 1" and "rtask 0" in mtty. This will try to turn on the radio and reset it.
Also see the output of commands "checkimage" (should give you a radio image CRC checksum) and "info 8" to see that your flash is intact.
If the process above does not fix the problem you should better go for a replacement with Orange... or if it is not possible wait until they release a ROM upgrade and see if it fixes the problem.
Do not flash any other rom if you pretend to return the unit.
Info 8 shows all blocks reversed
rtask 1 has no effect
Check image shows results for all except radio image crc showing wait interpreter time out
The unit is an e-bay special so cannot return it, wil flashing rom with non ornage version fix this problem? or must it be orange to work properly with network services?
Thanks
I don't know if flashing would fix it, but if you have no warranty then go for it. It doesn't need to be an Orange rom, you'll get the Vender ID error if the flashed rom doesn't match your CID, but just follow the instructions on the wiki...

Au contraire, book it in at
http://service.htceurope.com/
it is based on seriel number you don't need no stinkin' paperwork....
I have bought from eBay and sent back under warranty many times ;-)
Just don't flash a dopod rom on there just yet as then they'll know...
Richard
Thanks for the help and advice, will send it to HTC

If you do end up being charged for a 'bad flash' etc the most it will cost you is about £30. Better than a non-working device.

My touch screen suddenly stopped working, anyone had this happen to them? As far as I know I didn't do anything to provoke this i.e drop it or make any software changes. I tried a hard reset and still no luck.. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
Seeps
if it ujust stopped working and you have done a hard rest (formated teh device and reinstalled ) and its still the same then id say most likely faulty(which you probley already guessd)
if you got it as an account upgrade get in touch with ur network service provider and get them to replace the device if you bought it from a 3rd party try to return it if you can, if you are unable get in touch with HTC all the best
nass
Thanks
Yea I tried hard reset and all that, you're right my guess was that its faulty. So I'll be paying cingular a visit tomorrow. I just finished flashing the cingular splash screens back to the device and original os back to the device with the mtty program, luckily I figured all that out because otherwise I couldn't get past the sceen alignment stage to do a regular rom update.
Seeps
The best way to clear any "funny" status on the hardware is to give it a "Russian Reset": power off the phone and then on again. If that doesn't solve your problem then take it in for repairing.
(Russian Reset is a term I heard many moons ago from a Finnish DEC SW engineer regarding PC hangs that would not clear with Ctrl+Alt+Delete but could only be solved by switching off and on.)
Through the turnstyle
Well since my 8525 is 1 month and two weeks I have to send it into cingular's warranty department. The one thing I am concerned about is that I want to make it appear that it had never been modified again. Unfortunately I am not able to do a regular rom update because I can't get the thing past the setup stage because it requires me to tap the screen and do the screen alignment to continue, and thus it won't let me make an active sync connection to do the rom update. I was able to use mtty to get the OS, EXT ROM and splash screens back to original, and I was able to get it back to bootloader 1.04 (Is this the stock bootloader for the 8525?), but I haven't figured out how to downgrade the radio yet. Any suggestions? I think I have radio version 1.27 right now, if anyone knows what the stock radio version is for the 8525 let me know. I want to get this thing back to normal so when I send it in through warranty they don't tell me I am out of luck..
Thanks
Seeps
Put device in bootloader mode and flash the stock rom (cingular 1.34). You don't need activesync at all.
Thanks
That worked. Now I can rest a little easier sending it back.
Trying to downgrade with mtty
when i run mtty i cant see a usb option how do I get it to see one??? the mtty ver i have 1.6 but i reaaly need a hand cause i have the same issue with the dead screen
Hi all,
I have just bricked my hermes (twice) and I need some help. It's a SoftBank version, flashed with a Dopod ROM (the earliest version I think), with sim and CID unlocked. This is what happened:
0) Unhid and unlocked extended ROM using POF's cab. Restarted, can read/write to the ROM on the device, and via activesync + explorer. Installed programs there, played with it for a couple days. No problems.
1) Played an mp3 file with japanese ID3 tags, in TCPMP. Characters displayed as weird symbols (expected on enlighs rom), so I tried installing LetsJapanNo5.zip to have the characters display correctly. LetsJapanNo5.zip is mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-281617.html
2) On restart after installing the cab, device freezes on Windows Mobile splash screen. Followed instructions here to fix, and only hard reset works:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem2
NOTE: if I just leave the device frozen on WM5 splash screen, LCD powers off after around 2 minutes (my own config before brickign it, IIRC), and device powers off after another several minutes (my own power-saving config again).
NOTE 2: I have a feeling LetsJapanNo5.zip is the one causing problems. And I probably shouldn't have tried installing it on an English rom.
3) After hardreset, I tried to unhide and unlock the extended ROM again, using fit4cat 2.1b. Unhiding worked no problems, but unlocking doesn't work: the unlock option in fit4cat always stays unticked after saving and restarting the device, and attempts to create a new folder in the extended ROM gives write permission errors. info 2 command in bootloader says the device is still CID unlocked:
HTCS00000000jR*¥HTCE
And the bootloader itself says:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.04
4) Unable to unlock extended ROm with fit4cat 2.1b, I reverted back to pof's unlocking cab, which installs OK, but on restart, WM5 freezes at its blue splash screen again.
At this stage, I am able to hard reset again, but the device will always freeze again after I install the extended ROM unlocking cab (not using fit4cat because it still doesn't work).
Any suggestions on what I should do, to unlock the extended ROM, as well as clean up the mess made by installing LetsJapanNo5.zip?
And if a full reflash is the best course, any suggestions on what english ROM to use?
cheers.
Hy guys,
I have a post Dec.2 x01HT and have the following problem. I have bought the imei-check unlocker when it came out and used it. Originally it worked, I tried it with a DOCOMO SIM and everything was nice, but when I tried a GSM SIM it still said simlock....
I e-mailed imei-check and they said I have to do the unlock during a hard reset before the softbank settings screen and that is what I did. After that my device worked with a GSM Sim, but I had a ton of problems: the windows hangs every few hours and I have to reset the set, also I cannot get the hold-down vibrate function of the radio button to work, the reaction time of the touch screen is very slow etc.
I also noticed that if I hard-reset without using the imei-check unlocker after the settings procedures there is an auto customization procedure that runs and customizes the phone to the softbank settings and looks, but if I do the hard reset and unlock with imei-chek this procedure doesn't run and I suspect that is part of the reasons for all the problems.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problem and can help me solve this problem?
I was also wondering if I run the free unlocker on my device will it work better?
P.S. I am using the original Softbank ROM with the English MUI by Asukal.

You can still do the customization manually. There is only one file that you aren't supposed to run. Just unlock your EXT-ROM and install the cabs one by one. Pof has a Softbank extended rom with the bad file removed around here somewhere. In any case the "fix" cabs are all over the place and you probably don't even need to run the softbank stuff if you don't want to.
Thanks,
I am not too much into these things. Originally all I wanted was to SIM unlock my set, but I will try to find how to do all the things you said...to unlock the EXt-ROM and install the cabs myself.
Can anyone tell which cab exactly I should NOT install?
I have downloaded the Softbank Extended ROM from here, but it seems to have even more cabs than in my original ExtRom on the device. I would appreciate a list of which cabs to install or not to install.
Thank You all
So how does this IMEI unlock could work?
I was trying to upgrade to radio v1.43 in the hope that battery life was improved over 1.41 however when it got to 8% it stopped and gave me an error i can't remember After atempting to recover, it got off the three colour screen now the 3100 stalls on the blackshadow version4 screen (bootloader screen?) and goes no further. I tried reflashing but got a 260 and using mtty, only getting 2 com port options, didn't offer any help.
I'm really sorry to have not been able to sort this with reading through the relevant post but I haven't found a solution. What else can I try?
Hi,
Could you pls advise what is your device made, model, SPL version ... etc.
Also did you try to do Hard reset?
I'm using now black MAJIK (and few days ago black shadow) with radio 1.43 with no problem.
its the SPV m3100 When I decided to go Black shadow I read up on mr vanx and made sure I had all the things I needed. If I remember right, when I came to upgrade to Majik the auto detect found the second option down
SPL-1.04/1.10 - 1.09 Bootloader. I've realized since I had a spaz and ran the RUU from the archive this time. From what I've since read thats not too cleaver.
I have tried a hard reset and took the battery out instead of pressing space.
I dont know if this information on the starter screen is of use
M 05
S 04
B 05 D 3lak
I'm not sure, but hard reset doesnt mean you take the batery out.
Please check that link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset
I was in your position (hanged on booting) few days ago, and when i did hard reset, it changes every thing to basic normal condition.
i meant when i did a hard reset when it asked me to press space to reboot I took the battery out. I tried again this time pressing space to reboot but I still get stuck on the loading screen. I can't connect by USB to the PC I'm guessing the drivers on the phone haven't loaded and I'm stuck as to what to do.
Does anyone have any ideas?
try look at it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
ok I've tried everything I can think of to connect the 3100 to the computer so I can reflash it but mtty gives only com 1 and com2 but no USB and neither those two work, active sync wont connect so I disabled it as suggested and running the radio ruu and wrapper wont querry the device. I am now at a loss as to what to do next someone must know what I should do. Please?
what is your SPL?
try this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

I suggest you check again, press and hold the side OK button and the power button...then put the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the unit.
yeah I've done that it's "SPL-1.09"
I had this exact problem yesterday, with the same bootloader too. The phone would not pass the splash and IT refused to upgrade. I ended up downgrading to a shipped wm5 rom (in my case the cingular 1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00) which to my surprise actually worked as no rom radio or spl upgrade moved at al on my phone. Then upgraded back to black majik. I hope this helps.
Thanks. I downloaded the trial of wm5 from the windows website and it asked me to install .NET framework version 1 so I got that but it turns out to be 2.0 not 1.1 It would say it had repaired but it would say this with or without the phone connected.

Just download a WM5 ROM from the wiki page!
ok tried this too no luck.
Trying to use the one from orange (linked to through wikki) I get an 294 invalid vendor error however active sync cannot connect yet of course so is this to be expected?
I have however gotten a connection with mtty which is a step forward dunno what to do with it yet though except trying the password 0000000000000000 command but it not disabling the password. This then lead me to read for a further hour how to change it and I've got to be honest; it beat me. I have No idea what the hell its talking about. My head hurt with so much reading.
I get a no gsm pop up v briefly on loader. I so want my phone back
I have since tried CID unlocker just so i get something installed onto this brick but I either get a connection error or it telling me it can't install for some other reason. I can not set the password in mtty to 0000000000000000 so how do I do that and is this the first step to getting things sorted? "just running a rom install" is not happening I can get a USB connection in mtty and that is it. Is the fact i'm running SPL 1.09 a problem? I'm getting precious little help guys If i'm posting in the wrong place or something please let me know. I need thing thing back now. Hours are drifting by with me trying to get some head knowledge but I still need some guidance please

can u flashing HARD V7?,i think better u have IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10olipro first ,then try to flashing radio?
and did u try SD card.
In bootloader can anyone here connect with active sync? I can't so updating rom and radio flashes in the usual way isn't possible. Trying the hard spl again it tells me to make sure active sync is connected and as it isn't it throws back a 262 update error. 0% on the hermes and that's currently as far as I can get. I have no means with which to access the memory card.
The reason you get an invalid vendor ID is because your CID doesnt match....download a ROM which is for your device (an orange one?)...then try.
You need to read the wiki alot more before trying anything else since you are not aware of the vendor ID error...nor the fact you MUST use HardSPL.
I linked to the orange ROM from wikki and tried installing it. it was while installing THIS ROM SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe I got invalid vendor error.
Installing a recent DL on HARD spl v7 I get a 240 open file error that's one I haven't had before.
With all other attempts they all say they want an active sync connection.
I can not connect to the phone through active sync
so all attempts by me to flash anything to the phone using an RUU fails.
