hi
I have a phone brought from ebay and flashed it with schaps newest rom, upgraded the radio and installed hard spl and used it for 4 weeks before it was barred. T mobile said it was a bad flash and to reflash it with the official firmware. I have done this numerous times. My imei has changed. It now says it is a number with a lot of 0's that doesnt match the back of the phone or it says 'failed', when i type *#06#. What has changed the imei and how can i get it back?
please help
thanks in advance
flashing will not change the imei at all, whether its hardspl or a rom
Check with *#06# if your imei has changed to 35519500000001701. This is a default imei, and usually happens when the security area of the device is damaged.
great
the mighty pof!!!!

You have a G4 device you CANNOT downgrade to a 1.x rom.
You CANNOT flash your IPL/SPL if you try you will definately make your device an unrecoverable brick.
IPL/SPL has nothing to do with CID or SIM locking or unlocking. They are the bootloaders for your radio and OS.
You should never have to change your IMEI number. This is actually illegal in some places. The only reason your IMEI number would not work is if your phone was stolen and in turn reported stolen by the original purchaser. In which case the IMEI would be blacklisted so the criminal could not make use of the stolen phone and hopefully would get the idea that stealing phones is not a profitable venture.
If you paid for and used the IMEI Unlocker software correctly then your device is probably unlocked and you can try flashing G4 safe roms to the device.
If your phone is locked you have the means to unlock it if you paid for it from the website, if you didn't pay for it and got it from someone else it will not work as the algorithm is based on the IMEI # I believe.
Lastly CID unlock is not the same as SIM unlock. What are you trying to do and WHY do you need to do these things to your phone? You haven't made this clear and I don't think you understand what you need to do to get your phone working the way you want it to, if you keep progressing this way you will ruin your device. I suggest you stop and read the G4 forums.
Hi mate,
i've got exactly the same device, look at my signature how flashed WM6, there is no need to get rid of IPL/SPL 2.21.0001 or G4, even CID-unlocking is not necessary. The only limitation is that you can't change the splashscreen - i don't mind it anyways.

Of course you can change the Splash Screens. I have a G4 Wizard and now have XDA Mobile 6 and added the Splash screens that are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
but you need to use the Update Utility from Wizard Love, just swap the nk.nbf file.
You can also use the Update Utility from Wizard Love to change the Radio ROM.
Kind Regards

i used the imei unlocker ..i think it could make bricks
i unlocked my phone 8125 (g4) w/ 2.21.0001 2.21.0001 after that
it would never come out of boot mode
from just that i think it somehow screwed me
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21 i was told this is a valid (G3) spl where it came from i don't know
can't find anything to fix it
i get a error invalid vendor id when i try to flash the stock at&t rom
nothing seems to work
looks like its simi unlocked but it finished to 100% and then rebooted
anyone know any threads tha discuss a mixed ipl / spl
thanks , i hope the wizard is bio degradable
No known recovery method for a mixed IPL/SPL in G4, it's a currently a brick.
I have upgraded my SPV M3100 Orange to official HTC WM6 with SPL-2.10.Olipro. I have radio 1.47. I try to upgraded to radio 1.50 or 1.51 but when i push button Autodetect i hace this message: "Unknown version. You must select SSPL".
Can i select Force Using SSPL and continue without problems? Or must I select SPL 2.02/2.10 New Bootloader? Or i have any other problem that i have to solve before upgrading radio?
Another question: I think that IMEI has changed with the WM6 upgrade, is it possible? is possible that it has an IMEI with Orange ROM and another one now with HTC ROM? if yes, is there any problem?
False problem with IMEI
Excuse me. Probably i make a mistake when i write my IMEI first time, because the IMEI that i have it is the same that the one in the battery stick.
So, it is no problem with IMEI
Hello all,
unfortunately, my prophet has been broken by the well known ROM update SPL 3.08. The exact name of this file is: Jesterzs_Aku2.20_with_3.08IPL_and_2.20SPL_ONLY_FOR _G4_
So the current situation is:
IPL 2.09
SPL 3.08.0001
I am looking for a solution. The ideal one would be:
upgrading again with a valid SPL but greater version number (such 3.09).
The second step is to unlock the CID (No problem for that),
and finally downgrading everything to ROM 2.20 (Easy).
By now, I create a modified 2.20 SPL to 3.09. Please check attached.
But the ROM update seems to not work. Indeed at the end of the operation, the prophet shows a wonderful screen with degraded green and the following words:
IPL 2.09
SPL 3.08.0001So, I can conclude that the first step is not sucessfull.
When the ROMUpdateUtility_G4.exe check the version number, the version of the prophet seems to be empty...
Does anyone have any idea?
thank you for your comment.
cheers
Andre
do u think this is possible ??
and waht is the difference betwen the towo verssion ??
well, what can you do with a prophet upgraded to 3.08? nothing.
my problem would be dissambling the SPL and IPL for changing the version.
Modifying directly the binary doesn't work.

Well,
recently I've bought 8525.
But I live outside US so i needed to unlock my device.
I've downloaded "HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a"
and have flashed my 8525 using an microSD card.
Everything went OK, then after flashing I've launched unlocker .exe. on my device and ulocked SIM and CID.
Then I've placed my SIM-card but it won't search for any network (It continues to search and search.
What should I do in this matter?
I'm running MS Vista, so I'd be glad if U suggest me to flash using an micriSD card.
Thanks.
Please help me to get out of this case.
Edit:
I've just flashed radio 1.54.30.10 using SPL 1.40 Olipro, IPL 1.1
with no luck at all.
Help me somebody.
Still searchs and searchs network, but doesn't register on network.
Same problem (NO GSM) I'm Vietnam !
I Have same problem ! now i flashed SPL-2.10.olipro and try again with Unlock v3.exe but not progress !And i check my phone at Device Infor i cannot see IMEI (IMEI: [Emty])
AT&T 8525
I have same problem no radio no gsm no imei, try everything still same result. Can anybody help.
ONLY thing to try is to either install ORIGINAL SHIPPED STOCK ROM or the ORIGINAL SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Doing anything else may permanently brick your device. This is not guaranteed to work as the radio rom is a cantankerous SOB and seems to be the achilles heel of the Hermes. In laymen's terms, radio dead, not recoverable in most cases...
Good luck...
I'm not saying its impossible but then I believe if you jump off a cliff and try REALLY hard you might actually miss the ground...
IPL 1.04

have you SuperCID your phone as of yet? Sounds like it is not unlocked.
Try that, and let me know if that makes a difference.
Cheers
It sounds like the radio rom is corrupted... If you can try to flash the ORIGINAL SHIPPED STOCK ROM on to your hermes... It MIGHT fix the "No GSM" error...
If this doesn't work then you won't be able to use the Hermes as a phone again but you can load other OS's on and use as a PDA....
mikendawn, Super CID WON'T work to repair the radio rom. You seem to think its the be all and end all solution... Unfortunately this isn't the case...
Loading Hard SPL V7 on is as good as Super CIDing your Hermes as all it does is allow you to put other carrier/cooked roms onto your Hermes and allow you to use them.
No, not quite that, I thought his phone wasn't SuperCID. I didn't think it was the end all solution. Just thought it sounded like his phone was CID Locked.
Cheers
here can find a original rom for my phone
