HI,
I have been stupid and once getting my MDA Vario II in the post I ran a sim unlocker from www.buzzdev.com been impatient I ran this through and it crashed at 90%. I then read further that this unlock was not actually for this phone. ( i know I'm and idiot, still kicking myself about this)
Anyway the phone now hangs on the windows mobile splash screen. I've tried getting the sim unlocker from www.imei-checker.co.uk but when entering the stage of pressing the (ok, power, and soft reset) button I can't get the usb signal to come up at the bottom of the tri colour screen to enable me to run the app.
Can anyone give me some pointers to get me out of the stupid mess I've got myself into. I'm sucessfully running the I-mate K-JAM ROM on the MDA Vario and have just upgraded to the VARIO II but have stuffed things up big time.
Help Please
You used the HTC Universal unlocker and the radio part of your device is trahsed.
See the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
You can still boot the device, but GSM will not work because radio is broken.
In order to fix it, try using the "flash from microSD card" method, described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62596
Which CID does the Vario II have? You should use a NBH with the same CID, but t-mob hasn't released any updates yet... so, try using the TyTN rom, the CID is "QTEK_001" and let me know if it works, otherwise you'll have to wait for a NBH with your CID.

HTC ended up replacing my device as even they couldn't get it to flash over JTAG after someone else had run the 'universal' bootloader.....
To start the device, do a hard reset then soft reset rather than press spacebar to reboot afterwards.
EDIT - I've had trouble with ime-check's unlokcer as well, with a working m3100 - try a different P.C to run it on.

Hey,
So, I've got a strange problem. I've bought my HTC TyTn a few weeks ago and I've allready used the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3 to SIM unlock my phone. Everything went fine and I was very happy until the day of releasing WM06 for my device. I've downloaded again the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3 and tried to remove CID to make my device superCID. But now it seems it just doesn't work properly or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Each time the RUU starts ( after softreset, because of confirming 'yes' for sspl, it starts in bootloader ) it can't connect to the device... I don't know what to do, it seems that I do something wrong, but I don't have any idea what
I thougt that maybe just don't need to change the radio, and everything I need to do is to copy the Herm_Unlock_v3, run it and select to remove CID lock. Tried that way but don't have any idea how to check if it's superCID already. Anyway I tried to upgrade to WM6 after that, and It has same problem. RUU just can't connect to my device when it's in bootloader.
Am I doing something wrong ? Somehow it just can't connect to the device now, but at the first time it was perfect. If anyone knows the answer, please report me
sry for my english
I would be happy if someone could help me
Which RUU are you using? Which SPL is on your phone. You may not need to connect in bootloader. If you are using the custom RUU and a "Hard" SPL - then try connecting with the phone up in regular mode.
Found the solution. I think that my USB port in PC is corrupted. Changed the port and everything went fine
Hey everyone,
i am so upset and lost; words cannot describe it.
So i installed WM6 black shadow and everything was working except for SMS and MMS. So i am like ok i can live with that for a day till custel' rom will come out. SO i decided to upgrade the radio to 1.43 and boom here is where the problem started, No GSM on boot up. Phone doesn't boot up. I tried install 1.40 over again, still nothing. No i tried upgrade the the rom itself, i tired custel 2.5 and nothing and i tried the new Cingular rom, still same problem. the roms flash all the way. I read the wiki, and saw the mtty.exe thing but that doesn't work for me either. I am really lost and don't know what to do.
Specs
cingular 8525
hardspl v7 cid and sim unlocked.
PLEASE HELP
4.13?? 4.10??
Where did you download these radios from??
or do you mean 1.41 or 1.43??
Yeah thats what i meant, 1.40 and 1.43 sorry. You can see how upset i am.
Thanks Again
Well, if your phone turnes on .. it's not a brick.. lol .. it IS fixable... When you turn the phone on does it go RIGHT to the 3 colored screen?
@dan5.5
You need to read the unbricking thread about this, all the info you need is there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
If you are superCID I don't see how flashing a radio could have messed up your phone.. that's weird.

I read everything there and nothing seems to be working for me. I woudnt post for nothing. i dont want to be annoying.
OK im going to repost what ive said on 4wm:
We need to check if your Radio BL is functional, firstly leave HardSPL v7 on there and connect to the bootloader via mtty (il assume you know how to do this).
Issue the following commands and tell us the results please:
1) checkimage (this shows the CRC checksums of each component...id expect the radio image to show a timeout....
2) info 2 (This will verify that your CID is intact)
3) info 8 (does a bad block check)
Once youve done this, flash SPL 1.10.oli to the device and once again connect up to mtty.
4) 'rtask a' this will enter the radio bootloader you will see "Enter Radio Bootloader" or something to that effect
from now on when you type the text does NOT appear on the mtty screen.
5) 'rversion' this should return your radio bootloader version...now unfortunatly if you see nothing...you radio BL is dead and sorry your device is royally bricked. If you get something returned back onto the screen (most probably containing the text '0108') then your radio BL is fine.

do as instructed in that text, post your results here.
I cant falsh spl 1.10 oli. it gives me the 260 error.
the 260 error is not connected via USB right? .. weird... have you tried taking your battery out for a couple minutes, then booting into BL mode? sounds weird but this worked for me when I didnt flash hardSPL firsl..
hey mrvanx's
I can't downgrade the hardspl to 1.10, anyhelp.
I cant active sync, the phone doesnt boot up.
Is there anyway to aviod having to respond on the phone.
hey,
i can get the phone to boot up into windows and then it freezes within a couple min. what should i do. Still no gsm message and no phone. thanks
Dan
OK, so let's try and get you to a working state - I've bricked mine a couple of times and it can be quite heart-stopping, eh?
The first thing I would do is re-download radio 1.43, just incase your current one is damaged somehow.
Secondly, download Black Shadow - I know it's not the ROM you ultimately want but the aim here is to get you working again and we can move forward from there.
First, boot up into BootLoader mode (hold down the OK button on the left side of the phone and the power button and then press the reset button on the bottom, just in case you didn't know
You should come to the three colour screen and it should be reading IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.Olipro. If it isn't, stop here and post what it does say.
If it everything is OK at this point, when you plug your phone into your computer, it should change to USB at the bottom. Just wait for the Found New Hardware prompts to clear on your PC and then flash the black rom - choose the hardspl option in the flash program.
Once that has finished and it is at the "tap screen to set up windows..." bit, put it back into bootloader mode as above and flash the radio.
This should hopefully give you a running phone again as I know this combination works OK as I am currently using it.
Fingers crossed, don't panic, and let us know what the results are
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Nothing is working, can some please help me. Is there anyt way i can restore the spl to the original one so i can send the phone back, i just got it like 2 weeks ago. thanks
Also i have a bad block thats what i think makes the phone freeze after i boot it up.
How can i get around this, thats seems to be the biggest problem.
Hey everyone, let me give you more info.
I can fully flash any rom and and radio,
phone will boot up like 1 out of 10 times and then freezes and thats it.
i have a bad block number 6. I have hard spl v7 installed before the phone got screwed up. I cant downgrader the spl to a lower one to check if radio stack is screwed up. Can someone please help me, if you need to ask me more info feel free.
I was instaling NBD_v8.3_8MB trough shelltool on my MDA Vario then something happened and my PC restarted I whink it is because of the electicity .... so now when I restardet my phone it is stuck on the T-mobile screen Where it is writen.....
IPL 2.21.001
SPL 2.21.Olip
GSM 02.19.11
OS 6.6.6.666
Thanks in advance
First of all, its not bricked. Bricked = doesn't turn on, nothing, blank screen.
I've looked to your info, you already have HardSPL, so you can flash directly using any RUU, don't use shelltools!
Enter bootloader (hold camera+reset), open up the RUU of the ROM you want (make sure it doesn't have any IPL/SPL) and flash away
well I looked all day what to do and I can not find solution
I just can not understand how to flash the phone
I found one solution via some kind of Wizard_love, but again I do not know what to do
Please help i am haveing the same thing just did it today i have the Cingular 8125....i have held camera+reset and got into these Red,Green,Blue,white screen and it says IPL 2.25 and SPL 2.25 now when i run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID it does not work i have my usb pluged in and my phone says USB please help
Thank you
PS.
I am running Vista
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11

You guys wanna see bricked? I have a BRICKED! phone... My MDA was the unfortunate victim of a car accident. When my car went carreening off the road, my MDA went flying through the air and ended up on the floor of the car but not before hitting virtually every surface on the inside of the car.
Now my charge port is completely snapped off and my battery shorted out when I was trying to hold the charge port in place to charge it and fried the main board. DEAD. NO MORE.
THAT MY FRIENDS, IS BRICKED....
No worries though, I already ordered a TyTN II
Cool can you help?
Oh and i had the same problem with my mda and i got it replaced from tmobile. - the easiest way to reapair an MDA is getting it replaced ^^

first of all,as dferreira has assured u that ur device is not bricked,secondly ,you already have HardSPL,that means your device is unlocked,just follow his instructions,download any wm6 Rom and flash,it'll good to go,but if u still want to be sure,download WST Tool from the below given thread read carefully and apply the tool to verify the status of ur device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170
u can flash NBD rom which u have or any other wm6 rom,goodluck
NVM i am on the Other Page! Thanks
Ok, i have read everywhere and can't help myself, so if someone would be kind enough to help it would be much appreciated
Ok, Used SoftSPL and tried flashing the ROM. It manages to get to 99% and then just goes RED. I have tried 3 different ROMS and same story it goes RED at 99%.
When i remove the battery, it goes to the RUU Red, Green and Blue screen. SPL version is 2.16.0001. Not Oli's new one.
What do i do from now?

Soft SPL only allows you ONE update, so phone is CID unlocked only when Soft SPL is loaded.
It's normal for the RUU to stick on 99 % for a couple of minutes, The whole update will take aprox 10 minutes.
You can try the hard SPL from there you are semi-permanently CID unlocked.
Good luck,

I have a 8125 G4 sim unlocked w lokiwiz and a flashed WMSE5_rev4 with soft spl, well the problem that i have now is that i recentley tried to flash a new wm6 rom without hard spl ( yeah i know stupid) And now i am stuck on tri color boatloader screen no matter if i turn it off or not still goes back to the same thing. and yes the rom that i was flashing was g safe, i think were i messed up is not CID unlocking it with hard spl?when i tried to flash the new rom it went all the way to 100% and then gave error after that. NO activesync connection right now
questions
1- DID I BRICK IT
2- is there a way to recover this device
unlock it again. (CID) i had the same thing on my wiz g4. and no. is not bricked.
ok thank you and i will let u know what happens so i should use hardspl right?
ok thank you and i will let u know what happens so i should use hardspl right?
still lost
Ok this is where im at i have tried to flash other roms, NOTHING. the phone is cycling between charging(when on charger) and bootloader every few seconds then i pull it off and nothing. i cant get hard spl to recognize the phone nor will activesync. i understand that i need to CID unlock the phone but i cant even get that far?
any suggestions? please walk me through it im not stupid but HTC's are a whole new ball game for me. im used to motorolas(by the way they suck!)
thanks in advance
Get the original stock ROM for your Wizard version and flash it to get your OS back, then you can HardSPL or SoftSPL.
p.s. G4 Wizard does not have free solutions to actually "CID unlock". Either HardSPL and SoftSPL are hacks that tricks the RUU to allow flashing, you will still see your device as Locked in WST(Wizard Service Tool).
go to activesycn settings turn OFF allow usb connections and retry
I read it here in another thread after I returned My P4300 to cincinati bell in exactly the same condition you described.
Good Luck
