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!
i tried to install another rom, Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3[1].61.0_ATT_Full.rar and Touch_I_interface_beta.zip and crashed. and now, i enter in bootloader, if i want to make super cid it tells me to connect the pda even if is connected. and if i try to install other roms is stuck on 0%
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295735
next time use find function first!

Give more detail about your device, SPL? Radio version? Custom RUU version that you use?
i can't give you more that SPL 2.03 because the rest (RUU, radio) doesn't work. I can't enter in my device (i tried several custom RUU, still nothing, remaing stucked on 0%)
my first SPL was 1.03 but after a try of upgrading ROM it was modifed in 2.03 and i think this is the problem. does anyone knows how to modify it?
how can i downgrade my SPL ?
A quick fix
I am willing to take your bricked hermes off your hands for $40 US. I know, I am too kind.
i'm thinking that his big problem is at radio sigurance. what can i do?
his problem is on radio. when i'm flashing, on radio is stopping.
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 ?
Orenk,
Have you read the Mr Vanx guides or the wiki? Here are the links:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
WB
after reading the threads, wiki etc, still i aint able to find a solution. so tried opening up a thread.
well my question is the supercid and sim unlocker v3 by pof on this site requires one to have the spl1.04 ( A MUST ). now if someone, for example, me, has hardspl2.10olipro and would like to unlock the sim, then
1) should i downgrade(or not) to 1.04? if yes, how? or should i run it as such?
2) is there any other better, safer and quicker way than pof's to have sim unlocked?
currently i have
O2 xda trion (herm100)
rom: halloween rom by josh
radio: 1.47.00.00
ipl: 1.04
spl: hardspl2.10olipro
PLZZZZZZZZZZZ DO HELP
Use Pof's tool then re-install Hard SPL V7. You have to downgrade the SPL to sim unlock... Or you can pay to get it done...
thanx for the clarification
now a step forward
so i have to downgrade. the mrvanx guide at mrvanx.org which is i reckon the best guide, has a guide to know how i do it but the spl version 1.04 doesnt download and says that file not found. u may try for urself http://www.mrvanx.org/files/HERM_SPL_1.04_CUSTOMRUU.rar
so really cant head this way.
will u, ultramag69 or anybody else provide me with the file or working link to the file.
anticipating help
Download this - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip
Just run the .exe's. IPL doesn't matter, its the SPL that needs downgrading...
Cheers...
i think i aint getting my point clear enough. my point is that now i have to downgrade as i should not ( or should i ??? ) run the unlocker tool on spl2.10olipro. so for downgrading to spl1.04, i need spl1.04 so that i follow the downgrading procedure. now, i cant find out where should i get this from? the mrvanx.org htc guide has the procedure and the spl but the link to download spl1.04 isnt working and gives me error 404 i,e file not found.
hope i'm clear enough this time and hope u know the way out,
thank u
I also had upgraded to SPL 2.10. You need an SPL 1.40 or less. The link I gave you will downgrade the SPL to this. You can then run the unlock tool successfully. Worked for me.
You may need to run the sim unlocker twice for it to work, there were reports it didn't work properly the first time.
Remember to re-install Hard SPL V7 afterwards... Even if you supercid your device, the benefits Hard SPL give in recovery if something goes wrong is worth it.
Cheers...
still not there
havent unlocked yet. may b i am missing something. i let u know how i try unlocking,
before starting my was 2.10olipro and after i used ur provided link its 1.40olipro ( NOT 1.04 ). afterwards i tried the unlocker tool, ran the manual way as the automatic didnt work for me as i followed everything but nothing happened to the phone i,e no bootscreen, no flashing etc nothing at all.
the manual way was to transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to phone and run, tricolor screen appeared this time with different spl than before, then i ran RUU/RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe and followed flashing. went fine. allowed to reboot.
then transfered HERM_Unlock_v3.exe to phone and ran it. unlock options, sim and cid unlock, ran, process completed, shut down the phone, wait for 10 secs or so, restart the phone
change the sim,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no sim detected.
i tried this so many time
plz help
Run sim unlocker tool on phone by itself. try 2 times then try new sim.
Don't forget to update your SPL back to Hard SPL V7.
thanx for replying but doing it two times didnt work either.
any other way out?
at last worked out for me.
thanx a lot to ultramag69
i just ran the unlocker innumerable times, but whenever i would change the sim it wont work fine. then just by chance i started playing aroung with the phone and went to the sim programmer ( not the sim manager but the one that is specific for every sim, in programs menu ) and selected couple of services which i thought wont take place, but after a while the signal started appearing and everything was fine then.
now everytime that sim is inserted i have to go through this small exercise but i'll take it, no problem.
glad it happened
thanx to all the members of xda
especially to ultramag69

hallooo
experts please!
Hello haveri,
what ROM are you trying to start? I was stuck on HTC logo too, when I tried to start a ROM without installing Striped ROM first, which was highly needed. So I done hard reset(three color screen), and flashed again.
For starters, put in bootloader, connect to PC (1st untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync) and run Hard SPL V7. Install it on your Herms and hope it works because otherwise you are in for a whole heap of hairpulling frustration...
If you get Hard SPL onto your Hermes then use the sd card method to flash a new rom...
You could have avoided this by doing a little research instead of going full pelt into flashing, you Hard SPL BEFORE you get into trouble, NOT AFTER....
Hi guys,
I have a similar problem with a T-Mobile branded TyTn from a friend of mine who thought flashing ROMs without putting device into HardSPL would be clever.
The devices has also IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.03 and from the bootscreen it looks like WM5 should have been installed. I also get the "NO GSM" message and I REALLY tried every fking method but without success.
I even created a Goldcard (and verified on another device it's working, level 0 instead FF) and tried to flash several ROMs (also Cingular WM5 ROM and original german T-Mobile ROM) but no luck.
I also tried to run HardSPL V7 but as far as I remember it just said it cannot connect.
Funny thing: HardSPL V9 DOES start flashing and on the PDA and the PC the bar shows 100% but some moments later it says "Could not update" (or something like that).
I even tried different mtty methods from several posts from the forum (erasing the NAND on different ways, qtek loader method with erasing the first blocks) but I'm really really frustrated now and I believe there is no solution here?! (device has no guarentee)
So, if someone has ANY hint or useful information write it down or send me a PM.
I gladly appreciate your help and hope for a solution!
Cheers
P.S.: I couldn't find any information saying Goldcard method works (or even exists) for Hermes. Can someone confirm it does really work?
