After SIM and CID unlocking my 8525, then reflashing, it showed No GSM when booting and would sometimes lock up at the operator boot screen. After some searching, I ran mitty.exe and described, rebooted, then tried to run the unwrapper.exe again to reflash the radio, NO GO!...stuck at bootloader screen (IPL 1.01, SPL 1.40)
What can I do?
Microsoft Platform Builder Method?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,

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.

ok. it says this in the tri-color screen:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro
ok. so i download the Hard-SPL-V7 and it works. and it says that up there on my boot loader. but what is my bootloader version? 1.40? or 1.04? and what is this talk of the SPL-2.10.Olipro. how do i get that? im confused
oh another thing. why does it freeze on the GSM- part when i use the SDcard method? anyone? help thank you
the latest bootloader is 2.10.Olipro (the latest official one I've released for general consumption)
to flash it, please do remember NOT to put your phone in bootloader and to have activesync synced.
IPL is Initial Program Loader, and is generally not too exciting.
SPL is Secondary Program Loader and this one handles flashing etc and is the one with the exciting crap you need to patch.
have you been able to flash GSM with SD or somehow else ?
I ve asked how to fix it about 100 times on this forum and my device is still bricked
Hey all,
I've tried to search for an answer, so if I've missed something obvious, please don't chew my head off, but I recently used pof's SIM unlock v3a program on my 8525 and afterwards when I went to flash it with a new radio, it stayed on the bootloader screen for a while and then said "Error 260 (Upgrade Error)” and won’t flash. After SIM unlocking, my bootloader screen reads
HERM100
IPL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
Can anyone help me out here? I've written in the SIM/CID unlock thread and PM'ed pof, but no one will answer. I really need to upgrade this week.
Edit: Tried it on a Windows XP machine and it works. Any idea why it won't work on Vista like it did before?
Hi guys
before, my htc tytn had a problem, it not recognize the gsm sim and no IMEI showed on informations of the PDA.
I supposed that it was a problem of radio rom, and I followed the instructions given on (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665) to unlock and update my radio rom, unfortunately, after the operation began the spl1.60 was downgraded to 1.40.Olipro but can't progress in flashing, the htc hermes SIM CID Unlocker 3.12.3.7 has encountered an 262 (update error), a recovery operation was guided but no result, from this error my htc still showing the three colours screen like below:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
please help me to restore my phone, there is indispensable for my job to get e-mails
thanks
If you're using XP then update .net framework to 3.5.
Go to activesync settings on pc and untick "Allow USB connection".
Reconnect Hermes to PC, go to bootloader (you need to reset to bootloader, true bootloader, not bricked bootloader). Run RUU_Wrapper.exe again. Should get you out of tricolour screen.
When you finish unlocking the Hermes install Hard SPL V7, go to post 1160, page 116 of this thread for sd card method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...

Thank you for your response but what do you mean by (you need to reset to bootloader, true bootloader, not bricked bootloader).
At the moment you can read the IPL and SPL on your screen, 3 coloured bands running down the screen. This is NOT true bootloader. You need to hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with the stylus to go to real bootloader. Looks the same but is real and not a cocked up version.
Cheers...
Yes, but when I am doing this, the same screen become to me, with :
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
I suppose that the real bootloader was replaced by the second one from Olipro.
regards.
No, the info you give is right, you upgraded the SPL to 1.40. However, just doing a reset with stylus may bring you to that screen but there may be a fundamental difference in how it flashes the SPL again. You need to do the bootloader reset to make sure that there will be no problems upgrading or you may end up with an unrecoverable brick. It may be fine to use the "bootloader" screen you get with a reset, but its your Hermes you will loose if something goes kaka.... And withot Hard SPL V7, you may not be able to recover it...
Cheers...
I want to help someone on this please , bcs HTC SPV M3100 when i'm trying to switch on phone was stuck on HTC logo and nothing more , i have try to put on boatloader mode and phone was going on bootloader mode three color screen and show this:

SPL-2.03
i'm trying with hard spl from Pof soft but error getting.
Can someone find a time to help me?
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?
