While i guess that my problem may have an answer somewhere deep in this forums, the hours that i spent reading here did not allow me to find what is happening with my phone.
I have: An Orange M3100 (yes, it is an hermes).
I upgraded my phone (in the order) to:
-HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
-Hard-SPL-V7
-CRC_r9.2
It now displays:
Rom: CRC r9.2
Radio: 1.16.00.00
Protocol: 32.53.7018.01H
IPL-1.01 (i'm not sure this is useful)
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I did not test the SIMlock the first time i runned the unlock process, and did the hard SPL and installation of CRC 9.2 right after (love the new ROM btw).
I have done the unlocking process both by USB (manual way) and Memory card (nbh file on memory card), and everytime it tells me it is a success.
However it keeps asking me for the simlock code once i reboot and install my simcard.
Any suggestion?
Many Thanks,
Ed
Is this SIMLock code you require one that allows you to use SIM cards from different carriers??

The sim card you have put in has the lock enabled, you gotta put your PIN code in. The device would say incompatible sim if the unlocker hadnt worked.
Thank you for your answers.
The sim card i use is a taiwanese one. Taiwan is a lucky place where sim-locking does not exist! So i believe the problem did not come from this.
Out of perserverance, i tried again and again, and i believe that leaving the simcard in the phone while flashing might have made a difference, since it finally works!
Thanks XDA-Developers for all the info, and keep up the good work!
I forgot to mention that, previously, when i would enter my pin code, it would then ask me for my "unlock code".

Hi
I was given an Orange SPV M600 running WM5.0 I foolishly thought I would be able to unlock it to work with my T-Mobile sim (the only network I can get coverage at home) I ran an unlock tool from en.pdamobiz.com
http://files.pdamobiz.com/c/PDAMobiz.com_ProphetAKU2_unlockCID.rar
I managed to get to through to the completion of the Downgrade.bat process. I was then asked to sofdt boot the M600 but it now cannot be found by Activesync. I was unable to successfully run Unlockcid.bat and now it just boots to either the 'Orange' screen (displaying IPL 2.10.0001, SPL 2.10.0001, GSM 02.07.20 & OS 1.0.13.21 - the new OS I believe) or the 3 colour screen (displaying IPL 2.10.0001, SPL 2.10.0001) if I hold down the camera button.
Windows 5.0 has gone or is unreachable but I am assuming it can't be completely dead as I get a noise when connecting/disconnecting the USB lead....
Is this false hope? Have i killed it after 2 days of ownership??? Should I have attempted this process with very little tech knowledge - me thinks YES!
I would be eternally greatful to anyone who can help me out of this black hole..... I just need pointing in the direection of what stage the M600 is at and how to get it running on my T-Mobile sim.....
Thanks in advance
hi there, try going into the bootloader screen, when you connect the usb cable it should show on the bottom off your screen. then try uploading the orange rom you can find on the wiki page. if this works then try using the loki unlocker which you should also be able to find on the wiki page. i used the loki tool and it unlocked first time. hope this helps. let me know how you go.
The GOOD news is No you haven't killed it. It seems you have wiped the operating system from it. I would sugest searching for RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe down load it and then get your phone to the multi colour screen before running the download. This should then update your phone
when I tried to unlock my phone, I couldn't get it to unloack at all till I put a orange pay as you go sim in the phone and registered the sim with orange then it unlocked first time.

Spot on. Thanks so much for the advice. Fingers666 & jazpa !! I'm back on track. M6000 is now communicating again. WM5 is resident. Just need to unlock the sim and I'm away. [email protected] tried loki 3.0 amd 3.0a with both Activesync 4.2 and 4.5 respectively without any luck so I've just spent £5 a http://www.unlocking.org.uk/ as they say they can unlock a G4 ver. We shall see!! Great help though and THANKS again to both of you
Please Help Meee!!
Hello i was wondering if anybody could help me.
I want to unlock my orange SPV M600 for free.
If there are any safe and free websites that anybody knows of could u please tell me.
Thank Youu!!
James Thomas
Download Lokiwz, it is quite easy to locate. Inside the folder you will find 1 or 2 cab files, copy these to your storage card and run them on your M600. Now run Lokiwiz from your PC, after around 12 minutes, it will display your sim unlock code. Switch off your M600 and insert the sim you want to use, at the prompt, enter your code lokiwiz generated. For around 2 minutes the phone will seem to have no signal, then it will connect.
Worked first time for me, my M600 was locked to Orange, now it works great with O2.
wonderful works great with G4
thanks

Im pretty new to this whole process, and i went over the unlocking thread with the v.3a. I tried and tested this method, but EVERY time, it goes to the simLock screen and tells me i've entered the code x times, and to wait for timeout. The buttons are greyed out so i cannot enter my own code!
This is a new phone and I havent put my own sim card in it yet (Don't know if i HAVE to do that), I tested with a T-mobile sim card.

You need a Cingular / AT&T SIM to be able to do this. I'm stuck in your same situation right now.
Hope that helps.

i just unlocked my AT&T 8525 pretty easy with pof's v.3, when i did it i had no sim chip in the phone. i dont think the sim chip matters much until the unlocking process is over.

I did everything that i have been asked by it and at last it finished and when i put my simcard which is t-mobile in it, it says that "YOu have tried 6 times please wait until time out " and it is taking more than 12 hours now to time out what should i do is the phone unlocked?
maybe a hard reset will let you try again faster?
He Guys,
Just my luck I have bought an HTC Tytn with the original Dutch rom and sim unlocked second hand.
I wanted to put a new Dutch rom from HTC on it but I keep on getting the ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID but what I don`t understand is I have used the original Dutch rom from HTC. So I checked the device information and under the tab identity it says;
Model No.: H
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shouldn’t the Model No. be HERM200?
Has anyone any suggestions in how I can solve this problem so I can flash any rom I wish.
I have tried al the cid unlock programs I could find and in bootloader it says;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Thanks in advanced.
Use RAR to unpack the Original Dutch ROM.
Take the NBH file that you get when you unpack the ROM.
Put it in a folder with CUSTOM_RUU from Olipro.
Run CUSTOM_RUU and it will load up the ROM from the NBH file, bypassing the CID check. Should work
Thanks for the reply,
I have tried what you suggested but I still get ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID I have also read these posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322231&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322119&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309707&highlight=CUSTOM_RUU+from+Olipro and tried these suggestions but every time I get the error message. The radio update process was the same for me it will go to 7% and then give the message ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID.
I have also tried the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a and Hard-SPL-V7 but still get the error message.
I hope I’m doing something wrong if not then I hope you have a new suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
Please set your device in BOOTLOADER MODE and post here your IPL / SPL versions.

Ups, missed the bottom - thought it is the signature already! Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet!
Well, looks like the device is CID unlocked!
How about trying to flash an entire cooked ROM?
i would suggest the following:
flash a cooked rom (any)
see if that makes any difference to your model id
then try and flash the native dutch rom
good luck
Hi Guys,
As you suggested I tried a cooked rom the Hermes_WM6_vanilla still get the same error message when I put my device manually in boot loader it shows;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
But as soon as I try an official or cooked rom it shows;
H
IPL-SSPL by des
H
SPL-1.09.ds
I’m now trying Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full_Beta3.exe and choose for auto detect and it said 1.40 Olipro and in boot loader it shows;
H
IPL-1.01
H
SPL-1.40.Olipro
And after 1% I got the ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID message again.
I think my options are getting slim.
Your ModelID is stored on NAND and can be edited quite trivially (mostly).
how it got corrupted I don't know, however, the important question is; can you get into the OS?
He Olipro,
The device it zelf works perfect I can go anywhere I want even in the OS.
Just lead the way.
Changing Model ID
I have a similar problem in that my Model ID got corrupted during a radio upgrade. I now get the same error (244) and am stuck on SPL2.10 and can't downgrade to fix it. Can anyone tell us how to manually change the model ID in the NAND?
Much appreciated.
Dumping NAND
Ok, I'm a relative newbie so appologies before I get flamed. Thanks Olipro for giving me a clue.
I have now got spl 2.60 on my device but am unsure how to dump the NAND. I've worked out how to dump the 3 partitions from the device to dump the OS but am still unclear which part of the device is the NAND. I've read the Wiki on the memory map but am still not too sure.
Anyone able to give me simple instructions to dump the NAND and once I've done that where abouts is the ModelID stored? Do I do this using mtty?
Thanks in advance.

NAND Dump
Thanks Drummer for pointing me in the right direction.
Ive done this bit:
BTW, if you want to do a full backup of you FULL eeprom nand at any time, connect as before and type these commands:
plink HERMES > full.nb (hit ENTER twice)
task 32 (hit ENTER once and only once from now on after every command)
password 0000000000000000 - My device password is BsaD5SeoA which I used instead.
set 1e 1
rbmc me.txt 50000000 7fff800
watch your file grow to 128 MB.
It creates a full.nb file but it stays at 1k!!
** Note I have copied the bootloader file for spl 2.60 on my Hermes and ran that so I can now use that versino instead of the 2.10 thats on my device if that makes a difference and have tried with no joy with either version. Yes I know it says to use 2.30 but I can't work out how to get that on my device due to the ModelID error.
The Model number is contained within the herm1.nb file that was posted by BusStop in that thread. No need for complete NAND reflashing, only that section. You'll see it using a Hex Editor. You should write down your WiFi MAC addess, so you can edit it before flashing the file with the corrected Model number. Now you just have to figure out how to get SPL 1.01 MFG on your device...
Thanks Drummer. I did try flashing the herm1.nb file but of course as I do not have SPL 1.01 MFG it gievs an error. I'll keep trawling through the site and see if I can work out how to get SPL 1.01 onto my device. I'm not going to let this damn device beat me.
Ok so I worked out how to get the ModelID using getdevicedata. Used nbhtool to create a vaild nbh using the ModelID I'd just got and used the spl from 2.30 and it updated that fine.
Excellent.
However did the same with the MFG1.01 and flashed it and......
I now have a dead brick, no power and no response form usb. Time to get a replacement device.
Thanks for all the help I've had. I'm sure it should have worked.
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
Thanks for the advice Drummer however:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber - Nope red light goes out!
Mne shows HHHHHHH
Hi all, i've upgraded my radio and after my model id changed to H.
So, reading some posts i've used NBHTOOL.
1.I've decompiled an original Italian ROM
2.i've obtained a custom nbh selecting only OS and EXTROM and changing my Model number.
3. after that i've flashed the nbh resulting into a write error at 84% and a bricked htc.
Luckily i was able to reflash roms and i processed to second experiment.
I've made a custom rom with only the os, and it WORKED!
so my questions are:
1. can i use my htc even if my external rom isn't flashed (it cames from an old Schaps 4.0 succesful flash)
2. It is safe to proceed installing bootloader SPL using the nbhtool like i did with the os?
In that case i will be able to fix the model id problem by flashinh spl 1.01 and using the wireless fixing method you posted..
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Hi
From my understanding the Ext rom is mainly used for carriers to install there specific addons and customizations so it shouldn't be a problem.
As you can see I did flash spl 2.30 using this method and it worked fine ti was only when something whent wrong flashing 1.01 that my problem happened but I think that may be that I used an nbs file instead of an nb file from what I've read since.
Good luck.
Edit: Just noticed someone on this thread has managed it by going straight ot 2.60 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
I must be thick as I have read more posts on this than I have had hot dinners and tried various utilities all to no avail although thankfully my Wizard still seems to work.
My O2 XDA-Mini s is about 2 years old and of course locked to O2 although the device come up as SIM Unlocked but CID Locked.
IPL - 2.21.0001
SPL - 2.21.0001
I am now on the Three network and would just like to get back to using the phone I love rather than the freebie I have now, so I am assuming I need to get CID Unlocked?
Having bothered to get to that stage I would want to scrap the O2 software and upgrade to a better ROM.
Sorry for being so stupid on this, I am hoping someone in the know can take the time to reply.
Thanks in advance
If it's sim unlocked you don't need to CID unlock to enable other sims.
If your new sim is rejected, then the device is still sim locked.
CID is only used for flashing, so if you want to upgrade to the better WM6 roms now available, you'd have to unlock it permanently (hard SPL) or use the Soft SPL.
Good luck,

Thanks for taking time to reply EquinoXe, you have confirmed what I had already thought.
The device reports "Invalid or missing SIM card" with the Three SIM card and WST v4.2.2 reports "Your phone is already SIM unlocked" ??
I do wan't to upgrade the ROM but more importantly I want to get the thing working with the Three SIM card, then I can worry about the ROM.
Any other suggestions will be gladly received.
Thanks in Advance
Download and use the LOLKWIZ03b program from these forums, follow the insturctions EXACTLY, and it will generate you a SIM unlock code.....enjoy!

I have done this twice just recently but my G4 is not asking me to enter any unlock code. I read other threads where people had similar problems so tried a few times, device still comes up "Invalid or missing SIM card"
I ran EnableRapi from the device before running the batch file so I'm not sure what is going on or if it is something quirky about the G4 device??

Strange, according to lokiwiz (and WST) you are sim- unlocked.
But clearly your three sim card won't be accepted.
I do remember that HTC had been messing with the bootloaders, had to downgrade one in order to unlock it too..
Could you Flash a 2.19.0001 (or earlier G4) IPL/SPL ROM and try again?
You can use dharvey4651's thread as a guide to flash the IPL/SPL.
Just ignore the carrier ROMs, and only update (downgrade) the IPL/SPL with one attached to djharvey's thread (preferably the orange, because that one worked for me).
Flashing bootloaders can damage your device beyond repair, please use this method only if you are shure about the process, and know what you are doing. I am not responseble or liable for any damages.
Flash the IPL/SPL (takes a minute), then try again to unlock the phone.
Note: WM6.x needs IPL/SPL 2.19.xxxxx at least (works great with a 2.19), so if you have downgraded to a lower number, you'd have to upgrade again in order to run WM6.x .
Good luck,
EquinoXe
Same Problem
I have the same problem as the previous post. I downgraded from WM6.1 to a WM5.1 ROM and then ran lokiwiz - success!
I have now gone back to the original WM6.1 ROM and again I am locked out from my o2 SIM.

Thanks EquinoXe, I am going to try a T-Mobile, Vodaphone and Orange SIM later to see what results then maybe tomorrow try your last suggestion.
Thanks and I will post any results, hopefully not a flashy paperweight (~:
------------------------------
I have now tried T-Mobile, Vodaphone and Orange SIM cards in the Wizard and all work OK so unlocking was never the problem, obviously O2 is OK also as this was it's original branding.
So the problem is only with the Three SIM, I have an old T610 and T630 which I just put the Three SIM into with the same results.
Need to do a bit more reading on this but I thought this sort of restrictive trading practice went out with the monopolies issues, as it seems at the end of my contract it's not just a matter of me buying a phone of my choice, if I want a new handset I have to go with Three, who interestingly don't do XDA style phones, or change contracts.
More if it happens.
I'm guessing that the reason the 3 sim card won't work is because the Mini S isn't a 3G capable device - 3 is the only network in the UK that's 3G exclusive, hense why other (T-mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Orange) sims will work and the 3 sim card won't.
Hope this helps.
Hey,
I was given a Softbank X01HT from my brother and I've been using the information on this site to try and get the phone up and working on the Three network in Australia. This site has been really informative and I managed to do a lot of upgrades to my phone and everything works fine except that I get "no service" when I put my Three sim card into the phone. Could someone please help me work out what's wrong with my phone?
Here are the details of my phone:
Device: Softbank X01HT (Black one don't know how old)
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
ROM Version: CRCs r13.3
Radio Version: 1.47.30.19
I've done the following:
Upgrade to hard SPL (first thing I did)
Run the Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a (Though now I have doubts that I did it right)
Installed various rom (mostly for fun)
Installed Josh V15 Manila 2D rom
Installed the dopod AUS 3network WM6 (I thought it would have the right radio and settings)
Installed the CRC rom (I didn't like the dopod rom)
Any help would be appreciated. I've been searching but I couldn't find a good answer.
I'm not very familiar with that phone but you'll need to create a new data connection so that it can connect to 3.
When creating one, make sure you select the data connection type as GPRS, 3G etc, the access point is called 3services, no username or password is required. Should be good from then on.
These forums are awesome, with a bit more patience and perserverance I finally got my phone to work.
I did more searching on the X01HT and found that people were using the radio rom from pof's SIM & CID Unlocker. There was talk about cooking roms and stuff which I didn't want to try, so I decided to just run through the unlocker again. I made sure that I turned off my phone for 10 secs at the end and do a soft reset after the 10 secs, as I was a bit careless with that part last time.
After getting through all the steps, the phone recognised my sim and configured my phone for the three network. I can now connect to the net and make phone calls.
Now the details of my phone are:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
ROM version: CRC r13.3
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Thanks guys for running this site. I reckon i'll be on these forums a lot in the next few months. There's still a lot of tweaks I want to do to my phone.
Mate, bit of advice, install Hard SPL V7 so there are no "accidents" when flashing a new rom... Its a bit better at protecting your Hermes when you flash than 1.40. Thats an older version of Hard SPL.
Cheers...
