Hi,
First many thanks to all people here at the forum who makes the day better and more interesting for mobile nerds like me. I have been lurking around here for a long time and enjoyed every minute of it.
My problem :
Since my x7500 is SIM unlocked and with a standard setup as far as I can see I tried the HTC VM6 Rom flash without CID unlock.
That was stupid. Very stupid, since I don't have the providers orginal ROM available.
My x7500 will not accept the HTC VM6 ROM and is stuck in Bootloader with "USB" at the bottom of the screen when connected to my PC. Hard reset does not start the normal "installation"
When I start the VM6 flash program I get the famous "provider error message"
Is there any possibility to unlock the CID in Bootloader or "flashing" the bootloader to use the original ROM image at my device for a re-install ? In that way I could use the X7500 unlocker in VM5 and then flash to VM6 after.
If not re-installing the original ROM or unlocking the CID is possible I guess my x7500 is seriously bricked.
I am sorry if the answer to my problem can be found in other treads here. I have searched and read a lot without any success. I know now that I should have unlocked the device before trying to flash -> can only blame my one stupidity.
I will be very happy for every advice.
Greetings, Eric

There were four ROMs posted here some time ago. At least one of them didn't require the unit to be SPL / CID unlocked. Try to get hold of one of those - look in the Athena WM6 forum (where this should have been posted)

Thanks for reply.
I suppose you mean this four Rom's :
http://uploaded.de/?id=j2pv51 - ROM ver 2.20
for use with the athena_upgrade program
http://uploaded.de/?id=0v9mm1 - flasher for SuperCID devices only
works only for supercid devices
http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4 - HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
works with CID HTC__001 and SuperCid
http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u - T-MOB005 - version with spl,ipl and etc
works with CID T-MOB005 and SuperCid
As I understand my x7500 is not unlocked/superCid'ed and I need a ROM with exactly the same CID as on my device. Or am I far out ?
Or should I be able to use one of them even if the CID don't match ?
Thanks, Erik

Hi Mackaby, thanks for the answer.
That was the first ROM I tried to flash. Gave me error message "wrong vendor, check your update software"
Now I only get bootloader when I start my device. I have(had) a Norwegian ROM so I guess the CID does not match. I wish I unlocked my device before trying the WM6 ROM but......
Now I am stuck : Cannot boot / install my original ROM or install any.
My hope is that I can either unlock my CID in Bootloader or installing the original ROM again with a hard reset. To bad a hard reset only sends me to bootloader.
try this commands in mtty:
set 14 0
task 8
If it doesn't boot OS after this, you need a rom matching your CID. It's not possible to CID unlock it from bootloader.

Hi Hdubli,
Thanks for the answer.
Bonus pack ? do you mean the CD that followed my x7500 ? I can check but don't think there are any ROM Flash application on that.
Sorry if I didn't understand your message correct

If u buy bonus pack with athena which includes car kit etc etc, u also get CDs, in which the ROM is also there..so I was asking if u can get hold of the dealer from whom u hv got and enquire about it..also in mtty issue info 2 command check what is yr CID

Ok, understand. We don't have anything called Bonuspack here with hardware stuff and ROM software.
This was the output from the mtty command :

HTCSATHE100001.07.0000 ßؽôHTCE
Anything special with this ?
Anyone who knows if it is possible to mod a ROM flash file so that this CID will be accepted during install ?

That would corrupt the signatures, and it won't flash with an unmodified bootloader.

Thanks EricBr or anyone who can help me,
I have a similar problem, but in my case I didn't do anything to deserve it... I just turned off my new and provider unlocked x7500 after playing with it all day (just installed skype for mobile and customized some settings, tried the programs, etc.), and when I tried to turn it on again, it just froze in the bootloader screen... Nothing works, I tried soft and hard resets, don't know what else to do?
I've been reading al your posts everywhere and tried a few things without succes, when I conect my x7500 to my pc, it doesn't connect to activesync or anything. I guess I would do better if there would be someone who can create a reply that would clearly guide me on what to do and what files (with links) to download. I simply don't know what happened! since I didn't do anything especial to deserve this from my x7500 which I was falling in love with, after only a few hours of just getting to know it.
I'm new to xda's so please lay it down easy on me... Already had removed the sim and the miniSD I had installed on it... still nothing happens.

Japanese ROM from DoCoMo hTc Z has been uploaded to XDA-Developers FTP and added to the Hermes wiki, you can find it under the Available Original Shipped ROM Versions.
Notes on this ROM:
ROM Version: 1.23.731.2 06/24/06
Radio Version: 1.06.00.10
Bootloader: 1.04
Language: JPN (Japanese)
CID: DOCOM801
As you can see this is nothing new, but I guess it will be useful for people with this CID to be able to downgrade to bootloader 1.04.
Enjoy
Hi pof,
Thanks for that. I tried this to flash my X01HT after unlocking it with imei-check but with no luck. RUU went successufully till the last screen and I hit the upgrade but it returned an error saying something like this RUU cannot be used for the device. Bootloader is now 1.04 and the device should be SuperCID with imei-check. The only thing I can think of is that I upgraded the radio to your 1.2. Would that screw SuperCID? I appreciate your advice in advance.
Thanks,
harryk
harryk1372: If you are in 1.04 bootloader just run the upgrade utility again without disconnecting the device or start the upgrade in bootloader mode to bypass CID checking.
If it is really SuperCID then you shouldn't have seen this error.
Hi pof,
Thanks very much for getting back to me so quickly.
I ran the upgrade in the bootloader mode. I thought that I don't have to run it twice if the device is already at the SuperCID state and didn't run the update twice. I'll try it again when the device is fully charged as the battery is now down to like 30%.
I'll post the result again when I am done. Thanks again for your prompt advice. You're the man and I really appreciate your efforts taking us thus far in cracking Hermes.
Regards,
harryk
Hi pof,
The device looks like it was not in the SuperCID state and RUU went fine with the second run with no error. However, the upgrade failed when it hit exactly 47% no matter how many times I tried it. Lucky that I did not brick my device but of course it seemed to lack some of the components and it did not even have the Connections setting to set up the Internet access. Also, AutoRun and cabs in the ExtRom didn't take any effect either although the cab files were there.
I decided to flash the TyTN ROM instead and that was successful. That is fine as I only use Japanese occasionally and I didn't really want the Japanese MUI so I will keep it as is. Perhaps I will tweak it a little to be able to use Japanese with loading the Chinese nls, Japanese font, Japanese IME and so forth just like I did with my Universal.
Thanks again.

X01HT Unlocking Problem
I've got this X01HT a few days ago from S/B shop but when I tried unlocking it the result was no good using my cable. I read from other site that X01HT released from December 2006 cannot be unlocked. Please give me some clarifications on this and also, is FLASHING on lower rom version even in english version can resolve the problem...? Your response will so much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
At the moment it's not possible to unlock X01HT devices wich where bought after 12/1/2006 and have bootloader version 1.09 and RadioROM version 1.14.0.10! Please be patient.
To the experts, I need some advice. I intend to get a X01HT, already unlocked and flashed with the dopod 838 pro firmware. However, I intend to flash back the Japanese shipped rom :
RUU_HER_DoCoMo_1.23.731.2_1.06.00.10_JPN_SHIP.zip
What are the requirements esp where :
Bootloader (SPL)
Latest Radio Bootloader (HTC_BOOT)
Or since its unlocked, do I just go to the bootloader mode and flash direct? Any side effects if I do so, since its changing from an english rom of another clone (Dopod 838 pro, WM6)?
I am not even sure if the RUU_HER_DoCoMo_1.23.731.2_1.06.00.10_JPN_SHIP.zip rom is WM5/6. Please advice, thanks..

I screwed my MDA Vario II. I used HTC universal sim unlocker and I haven’t got radio. I know I was a craze.
No GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.

Please can a expert check this!?
I found this with the search option.... can someone check this....
Its written for the Tytn and not for the Vario II, i'm not sure but i thought that the english Vario II has a 1.06 bootloader!! Then you are stuck, beacause the file who degrade your bootloader to 1.04 isnt availleble anymore. Maybe one of the guys here can share it with you?!
======================================================
- Take the battery out of your TyTN and leave it out several minutes
- Disable USB-connection in Active-Sync
- Reboot your Computer
- Replace the battery and put your TyTN in the bootloader
- Try to load the ROM found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping.exe
- Keep trying till you get just past the erasing part, then you will get an error-message and are asked to reset your device with the stylus
- Reset your phone and put it back in the bootloader mode
- Install any Hermes ROM you like, no matter what CID if you have bootloader 1.04

Do both things starting from bootloader and with activesync disabled.

@lacika:
When checking the seclevel (task 32 bootloader command) your phone replies:
Code:
CID: Wait interpreter timeout.
Level=FF
After that when checking the CID with 'info 2' your phone replies:
Code:
HTCS...?\0.?f..|HTCE
This should be something like T-MOB001 if you have a Vario II from UK, so the CID is screwed.
I can see from the output of 'info 3' that you're running bootloader 1.06.
Then you try to flash the 1.18.255.3 ROM from HTC, which has CID "QTEK_001", you won't be able to flash this image in your device with bootloader 1.06, even if the CID was not screwed you will always get an error (you need bootloader 1.04 to bypass CID checking, and you are in 1.06), the error you're getting from bootloader is:
Code:
CID not allow (255)
As you said you can use the PDA (WinCE boots) what I suggest is buying imei-check unlocker (you need activesync working too for running the imei-check unlocker), because it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 and patch your radio... probably it can fix your device, at least it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04. If after running the unlocker your device doesn't work I suggest that you try to flash a radio ROM, you can find them here:

Err... I forgot that your IMEI is also screewed, probably imei-check unlocker will not work on your Hermes even if you provide them the right IMEI, because it will not be able to read the IMEI from your phone (will get the wait interpreter timeout too...). anyway... it costs 20GBP, give it a try!

Lacika
I tried that with my device before it got sent to service, I brought imei-check unlocker but as my imei was also corrupt it will not work, so I would not waste GDP 20 if you have corrupt imei.
They will not refund either becuase its your problem the imei is corrupt.

No, imei-check unlocker will downgrade your bootloader, BUT as shark1 says, it will not work because your IMEI is corrupted and it will not be able to read it.
I guess the best would be to send the unit to the repair centre then...

Hi, i done a fair amount of searching but to be honest there just to many posts about this to get a answer to be sure of.
If someone could spare a moment to help out i be grateful of there time.
1) How do it tell if my phone is CID locked ?.
I sure mine is a G4 model now, but i updated rom and so on, and all works ok there, but i am unsure if i used a locked rom update. So i am unsure, of course i dont wish to brick my phone like some have.
2) I live in England, UK, and like to know what are the newest roms and radio rom for my area.
Currently i have the following....
IPL 2.16.0001
SPL 2.16.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
Rom Version 2.16.9.1 WWE
Rom Date 2/6/06
Radio Version 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
I read that radio roms do the phone side of things, and would like to update that as i get a few drops on calls, i use O2. What is the best one i can use, also can i use a radio rom from another area not just European ?
I like to test out WM6 but like others lead me to an error on CID locking (300 error code) hence i like to confirm i have a CID locked phone, but i was told when purchased it was fully unlocked.
Any help would be very greatful.
hjkl;' why no delete?

I sure mine is a G4 model now, but i updated rom and so on, and all works ok there, but i am unsure if i used a locked rom update. So i am unsure, of course i dont wish to brick my phone like some have.
2) I live in England, UK, and like to know what are the newest roms and radio rom for my area.
Currently i have the following....
IPL 2.16.0001
SPL 2.16.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
Rom Version 2.16.9.1 WWE
Rom Date 2/6/06
Radio Version 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
I read that radio roms do the phone side of things, and would like to update that as i get a few drops on calls, i use O2. What is the best one i can use, also can i use a radio rom from another area not just European ?
I like to test out WM6 but like others lead me to an error on CID locking (300 error code) hence i like to confirm i have a CID locked phone, but i was told when purchased it was fully unlocked.
Any help would be very greatful.

Here is what you have to do:
- download any G4 rom from xda ftp
- unpack it
- replace the update tool from the WM6 one with the one from the G4 rom (when you will run it, it will be in italian)
- don`t worry about bricking your phone, it can only happen if you try to update your IPL/SPL and the WM6 ROM doesn`t include those upgrades.
(if your Wizard is CID-locked, after the upgrade, your OS will be the same one you had before the upgrade, if not, be happy) )
I can give a little help if you feel you can trust me.
Use a little program called pdocread.exe (by itsme) and read the bdk1 using the following command:
pdocread.exe -n 1 0 0x10000 [saved_filename] and then contact me via PM to send me the encrypted file so that i can read it and check the CID value. I must warn you that the resulting file will have your phone's IMEI in it.
For this program to work your phone must have RAPI and Unsigned Apps enabled
You could also use mtty.exe program to check the CID status by using the info 2 command
Code:
Cmd>info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
***** user area size = 0x3D080000 Bytes
[B] [COLOR=Blue]HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE[/COLOR][/B] <------- CID status!!!
To be honest i'd prefer the first solution since i'm writing a Wizard service tool and as my phone is a full unlocked Qtek i need locked CID blocks to compare and understand a bit more about that zone.
cheers
Sent email with pdocread info. Here are my mtty results.
PHP:

I assume the "HTCSWIZCNG01" is just verifying what I already knew? That I am CID locked to cingular?
I managed to get a list with a lot of CID codes for different operators and will check your value (once i find the file ) but i also believe that your phone is indeed CID locked; sorry
Many thanks for the details, tried it last night but would not change, so i at least know i have a cid locked system now.
Maybe wiorth getting it unlocked, but to be honest it was more of a wanting to know if it was or was not, know i know that i happy with what i got. Maybe an offical update will work when its released.
Again cheers all for your help and advice.
Any further info still be greatful with details of first post about radio roms still if you can.

If it´s unloked, i supose, after reading forums, that i can change rom from WWE to last Spanish (2.18....)
IPL/SPL: 2.17.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
wait your answers. Thanks.
A quick search around the forum would have shown you that it's not possible to CID unlock a G4 device for free.
Yours is a G4 and if you compare with my values from post #4 you can see that yours isn't CID unlocked
cheers
Thanks.
i suposed that as wasn´t in CID list was unlocked. But i get it more clear.
So the only ways to change rom and language are, or pay or try it with the Solutuion found: how to flash any rom to CIDLOCKED DEVICE.

Hello all,
I got a friend of mine who came to me with a device-password locked Hermes, which password he cannot recall (actually his girlfriend...). I said I would be willing to give him a hand to unbrick the device. The problem is that I cannot install any ROM on the device, coz I got an error connection right after the screen goes white and the percentage count should normally start.
So I put the Herm in Bootloader (spl-1.06) and try to flash the OliPro Bootloader. The procedure goes correctly until the step where the upgrade itself should begin, counting from 0%... here, I got:
ERROR [262]: Update error: communication error.
I also tried to flash a ROM directly, but since my Bootloader is 1.06, I didn't find a CID match ROM, so it also failed. The Herm is now not bricked, but it stays at the password input screen, so cannot enter windows properly.
Any help on this?
Thanks,
Ionutz
Interesting since you are trying to go around something HTC probably did not want for people to go around due to security....

yes, i grih you,and normally i wouldnt even try to do such thing, if it hadnt been for a friend of mine which i know.
besides i would like to learn more stuff about my Herm and this is one thing I havent seen discussed here, although i keep reading xda forums for such info.
just found the solution: i flashed another ROM with same CID since my BL was 1.06, but with BL 1.04. After that, I managed to flash any other ROM and automatically upgrade the SPL to 1.10 or 2.10 Oli accordingly.
If any of you interested and dont get the short explanation, PM me.
cheers,
Io, owner of 2 kicking TyTn's
BL 1.06 didnt allow devices with a different CID to be flashed,
eg: my TyTN had the CID: QTEK001 so i couldnt flash a ROM destined for a device with CID: VODAP001
But BL 1.04 had a bug where you COULD flash any ROM to the device regardless of the CID, the first attempt shows a vendor ID error, then try again and it will flash no problem.
The simplest way I would have got past the device security problem would have been a hard reset.

I know the details about BL 1.04 vs 1.06, thats why I flashed a BL 1.04 ROM, but with the same CID QTEK_001, or smth.
I have to admit though that I never ever thought about doing a simple hard-reset. I guess it would have been to easy, I jumped to more complicate scenarios. Thanks for the help anyway, i gotta learn that.
Thanks mrvanx, glad I read down the whole thread to the part about a simple hard reset working. I lent my 8525 to a friend, thinking he might be interested in buying it, then he didn't have the money, and after I listed it on ebay today, I charged it up to flash to ATT stock, found it password locked, called my friend a few times just getting his voicemail, so tried flashing, and it said the Hermes wasn't connected to the PC...
I figured there would be a solution here at XDA..and POOF, like magic here it is!
So yes, all I had to do was a hard reset, tested and it works, and it was simple, so thanks again mrvanx, although this thread is very old, glad I found it LOL!
I have seen many threads about unlocking the CID for other phones, but none for the HTC-HD2. When I attempt to update my phone I get this error message, "ERROR [294] INVALID VENDOR ID". I assume my locked CID is causing this error, so how do I unlock this? Please help me, I really want to update my phone. Thanks in advance.
bahardman
did you try hspl man
i guess no need to cid unlock
Guidance please on flashing 1.48 when getting vendor id error
Hi there - I am pretty new to all of this. I am trying to flash a standard 1.48 rom upgrade obtained through this forum onto a previously O2 locked HD2. I did get an unlock code - which allows me to use my vodafone sim but when i try to use the standard RUU utility it comes up with the vendor ID error. How do I handle this - happy to be pointed to the right post elsewhere.

just because you have a sim unlock does not mean you can flash a rom!
yah and just because you have hspl doesnt mean yu cannot unlock CID

The HSPL that is offered here does, indeed, unlock CID.
It says so in the description of the HSPL and it DOES work.
I have HSPL and a GER Vodafone CID-Lock (damn them). Now, I can flash any ROM and Radio (and, finally the 1.48 official upgrade!).
Cheers.

Ok ok - stop teasing the newbies! From my investigations seems to be HSPL? Whatever that might be.
Sorted - used HSPL and it worked a dream. You guys might be rude to newbies but you do seem to know what you are about.
Thanks all

omg HSPL UNLOCK CID for HD2. is so hard to read in this forum ??
Hi, I've flashed my HTC LEO with the latest HTC ROM with a SD card... and now i've got a SPL 3.03, that is not working with HSPL (even 3rd one).
Does anybody got a technique with MTTY to unlock my CID?
Should I use a Goldcard? or do I have to wait for an hypothetic HPSL4 (that integrate a SPL3.03 hack)?
sam here my HD2 is broken
These is hard xD

only the correct rom for your phone will work. go to htc website and find any rom that it lets you download using YOUR phones serial, and flash it.
Thanks mate I will try and let you know what I did.
