Hy guys,
I have a post Dec.2 x01HT and have the following problem. I have bought the imei-check unlocker when it came out and used it. Originally it worked, I tried it with a DOCOMO SIM and everything was nice, but when I tried a GSM SIM it still said simlock....
I e-mailed imei-check and they said I have to do the unlock during a hard reset before the softbank settings screen and that is what I did. After that my device worked with a GSM Sim, but I had a ton of problems: the windows hangs every few hours and I have to reset the set, also I cannot get the hold-down vibrate function of the radio button to work, the reaction time of the touch screen is very slow etc.
I also noticed that if I hard-reset without using the imei-check unlocker after the settings procedures there is an auto customization procedure that runs and customizes the phone to the softbank settings and looks, but if I do the hard reset and unlock with imei-chek this procedure doesn't run and I suspect that is part of the reasons for all the problems.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problem and can help me solve this problem?
I was also wondering if I run the free unlocker on my device will it work better?
P.S. I am using the original Softbank ROM with the English MUI by Asukal.

You can still do the customization manually. There is only one file that you aren't supposed to run. Just unlock your EXT-ROM and install the cabs one by one. Pof has a Softbank extended rom with the bad file removed around here somewhere. In any case the "fix" cabs are all over the place and you probably don't even need to run the softbank stuff if you don't want to.
Thanks,
I am not too much into these things. Originally all I wanted was to SIM unlock my set, but I will try to find how to do all the things you said...to unlock the EXt-ROM and install the cabs myself.
Can anyone tell which cab exactly I should NOT install?
I have downloaded the Softbank Extended ROM from here, but it seems to have even more cabs than in my original ExtRom on the device. I would appreciate a list of which cabs to install or not to install.
Thank You all
So how does this IMEI unlock could work?
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!!

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

Appologize for posting the thread twice... I wasn't sure if this goes to the Hermes or the Herald forum...
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro
ok ur going all over the map here.. did u hardspl first? also pvet 40005 isnt a hermes rom.. um try hardspl first THEN flash to a new rom maybe once you successfully do that then try a new 3.62 rom.. i run austinsync buts its naked..just like i like my women. ha. but if ur looking for a full blown try fun_key's rom or blinkys.. these arent carrier dependent
hey man jakeypoo, Thanks for your reply. I kinda figured that I was all over the map.
Okay first appologize my ignorance. What is a HardSPL? I did a search on this forum and I found Hard-SPL-V7.zip. Is this a good version to use? Also when I run the exe, All options are grayed out except for "Force Using SSPL" and "Is it Hard-SPL". What do I select.
Thanks!
Hardspl v7 is the latest version out there, its the one for you to use so that you're safe from future mishaps.
I also have an 8525 on T-mobile... so no worries.
Hope this helps.

still problems (no gsm)
Thanks whistler4ever. That link was really a great help.
Here's what I did...
1. Installed the Hard SPL version 6
2. Installed the latest ATT ROM (ver 3.62 radio: 1.54) I had to do this because the radio on the phone was corrupt (says "no GSM" on the start screen) and couldn't install just the radio rom. kept giving connection errors.
3. Installed Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57 hoping this would get ride of the ATT ROM and my intial problem (no GSM) will go away.
Everything was fine for like 15 mins, then my phone just froze. I reboot the phone and sure enough the radio ROM was gone (no gsm). ;(
Running out of ideas.
1. Could this problem be because I'm using a TMobile SIM on a ATT's radio ROM?
2. Is the radio ROM specific to the phone type and provider(ATT, TMO..)? Is there a generic WM 6 radio rom? If yes, where can I find the latest version?
3. Any bright ideas?
Thanks again!
Current phone details...
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10
ROM 3.62
Radio: no gsm
I was able to flash just the radio ROM - version 1.51. But again after a few hours the Radio got currupted. I also tried to follow the instruction ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5 ) to use the mtty.exe utility, but I don't get a USB prompt. I get Cmd prompt and if I still enter the password, it says invalid password. please help!!!
And how do I do the USB monitor capture? I could post more details that way. I'm using my girl friend's old razr now and it's painful!
I have used my t-mobile sim on AT&T rom's and other roms with no problem. I would try going back to a factory rom and then changing back to a cooked rom just to confirm its all a clean install. also, try downgrading your radio to a 1.47 or 1.48 (those have been proved pretty reliable across many cell providers).
Thanks Whistler. I'm going to start with the 1.48 version and if that doesn't work I'll try the 1.47 version. Not giving up on this.
I found 1.47 to work very well with t-mobile even when traveling...
Thanks Galaxys. I just installed the 1.47 radio. I have fully signal and the 'E', but I can't receive or make calls.
It almost looks like my TMO SIM is not compatible with the 8525. It always works for the first few minutes after an install and then stops working.
I'm very certain the phone is in good condition.
Should I try an older radio version.. like a 1.24 or something ?
Can I install just the tmobile radio rom?
I'm also going to install TNT 2.0 pro so I have the exact same set up as you and see if that makes a difference.
no luck!!!
wow... after all this time and effort still no luck. There's got to be something very basic that I'm not doing right. Senior members any help???
I have spent a lot of time reading the wiki pages and dead hermes thread. Tried out a lot of suggestions listed.
try the way i posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337125

Sounds like your doing everything right, because your flashed rom, radio, and Edge network are all functional. Since only the GSM calls don't work, I would go back to Tmobile and get a a new Sim card installed (they should do this for nothing & test it while at the store).
Also, if U got this device on ebay your IMEI could be blocked. see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322587
Try to flash the entire UK T-Mobile ROM, then remove the internet settings and install the correct CAB for T-Mobile.

a-h-t1, Junner2003 and galaxys - I'll try all your suggestions.
a-h-t1 - The first 2 steps went through fine. While I install the radio ROM as part of step 3, the installation doesn't go past 0%
I'm going try Junner2003 idea now. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.
install stops at 11%
Hi Junner2003,
I was trying to istall the UK Tmo ROM you suggested and it stops always at 11%. I've had this problem with other ROMs as well (12%) but after a few tries the installatons goes past it, but real slow. Any ideas?
Thanks for sending me the links... very helpful!

Hi Galaxys,
I don't think the IMEI is blocked. Or maybe it is, how do I find out? I don't have any of the symptons listed on the link you sent (don't hear the beeps or anything).
I originally had a T-Mobile wing. The LCD screen cracked (don't know how). And ofcourse TMo won't replace it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335346
I got 8525 from my company. It's almost new. Only used for a day on an AT&T SIM. This phone is free, and so I really don't have much to lose... so all out experimenting
Tried insalling from the micro card, even that stops while installing GSM. pissed!!! Why would the darn Radio not update???
this may sound stupid but if all else fails, why not...
my mda use to have signal then it would just disappear as well after 15 min or less..
turns out the sim card wasnt pressed in properly.. so i just put a piece of paper on top of the sim card to make it thicker and get the battery to press it down harder. and it solved all my problems...
just a suggestion..good luck

See this post here for a possible reason (and technical explanation/theory) for your device stalling during radio update. The fix suggestions at the bottom of the page may help you - in particular :
Try cooling the device down a bit before flashing as the PIC chip (where your radio ROM is held) may flash more reliably/easier when cool. Don't ask why - that's from it's datasheet ;-)
The paper on the SIM card is a good idea too to rule out dodgy SIM connection - Great idea r0mmel
Hi,
I purchased the Softbank X01HT (post Dec) in Japan when i was working in Japan. I lived with the Japanese OS even though i don't understand Japanese because I didn't want to temper with it just incase something goes wrong and i can't use the phone. Well, now im back in Australia ... and i need to unlock it and flash a new ROM to it so that I can use it in Australia .. otherwise.. it is effectively a brick....
so.. i spent the past two days reading all the valuable information u guys provided... and in the end.. i decided to first unlock and superCID my phone using the AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat provided by POF ... and then flash it with the Jasjam telstra ROM (RUU_Hermes_DL_UK_3[1].62.305.5_6275_1.54.30.10_108_Ship.exe) also found in this forum which received good feedbacks...
ok... after i executed the AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat program .. everything went well... and at the end of it.. the screen even said.. successful in both unlock and superCID ... so.. i assumed that my phone is unlocked...
then... i went to flash my phone with the abovementioned jasjam ROM .. and this too.. everything went just fine ... and now.. my phone is working with this new ROM (cool! first time im able to read my x01ht coz its in English) ...
without a sim.. the OS works fine.. etc etc...
however, when i tried to put a telstra sim card in it ... its still simlocked ...
the SimLock screen comes up and requests me to input unlock code ...
so.. i did more reading and researched but can't find any solution to this ... i even tried that "unlock" code (22051978) but it doesnt work ...
Please.. can someone help me with this issue with my phone? now.. it seems that i just need to unlock my phone to use it as my jasjam ROM is working fine. Below are further details:
ROM version: 3.62.305.5
ROM date: 11/06/07
Radio version: 1.54.30.10
EtRom version: 3.62.305.116
any help/comments will be highly appreciated... thanks in advance...!
read somewhere that if you let the softbank go through the 1st boot and it installs all the extra stuff you wont EVER be able to unlock it again. some one else may need to clarify this but apparently you need to soft reset after you've reached the today screen but before the customisations start. if you didnt do this then you probably wont be able to unlock it. sorry if this is wrong/bad news.
Hope someone else can corroborate this.. cheers...
thanks for your reply ultramag69 although i hope that u r wrong.. hahaha
fingers crossed ... hopefully.. positive news from some experts ...
After re-reading the posts, i cannot find that I did anything wrong.
This link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665" states that the unlocker v3a "can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, no matter which bootloader version the device is running", with the exception of "x01ht post April devices" (i.e., white x01ht).
However, my x01ht is black and is a pre-April device.
So, I am still not sure what is wrong. Please help please help any experts out there ...
POF ... if you are there.. please help ... i need your expert advice thank you in advance.
ultramag69, i think that you are referring to this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301952".
Quote:
"Here's how to unlock the new batch of SoftBank X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10.
This process is ONLY valid for new devices which have never turned on or let the SoftBank Extended ROM install.
If you have already let the ExtROM install you CAN'T sim-unlock it."
Fortunately, i find that this does not apply to me because my phone is not post april. Also, originally, my radio was never 1.14.01.10. It was 1.14.00.10.

hey bro!when you r already flashed v3a unlock,than you should down a software name like "Hard-SPL-V7",it will help you to unlock the exrom,make you able to flash the new os\rom...
"HARD-SPL-V7" has 2 software,1st is "RUU_signed.nbh",2nd is "RUUWrapper.exe".
devileric, read post carefully. snowboarder has no problem with reflashing oses, its the sim that needs unlocking now and hard spl WONT do that...
Still reading and researching. I'd probably retry the unlock tool. it cant hurt but may work... cheers
devileric ... yes ... ultramag69 is correct ... my new English Telstra Jasjam OS works like a beauty when it operates WITHOUT a sim card. However, when i try to insert a telstra (or optus) sim card in there, there is a prompt that requires me to enter a unlock code. Please note that the unlock code 22051978 does NOT work in this case (also doesnt work in alot of other cases that i read in this forum).
Ultramag69, thank you for your help and replies, much appreciated. I actually did try the unlocking program again (three times ) . However, when i execute the AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat when my OS is the new telstra jasjam OS, my phone will freeze on the telstra startup screen after the radio update step of the unlocking program when it automatically resets. Thereafter, even when i perform soft reset again and again, it will just freeze there. When that happened the first time, I thought that I bricked my phone .. ahhaha.. but fortunately, I was able to simply go to the tri-color boot screen and then simply flash the above said telstra Jasjam ROM. This will get me back to square one, i.e., working Jasjam OS, but phone is still sim locked.
I spent another night last night reading the applicable threads. I find that quite afew other people had the same problem as me. And I also find that whenever such problem is posted, its either ignored or a moot reply is given.
So, for the experts out there, if there is a solution to this, please kindly let me know. I am sure it will others will find it helpful too. Thank you.
Sorry wrong post
Hi, I just tried to upgrade my phone following the phone flashing guide.
I started with the CID unlock and used the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a
Anyway, It got to the tri colored screen and now im stuck. It wont do anything else. I ran RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe and it cant find my phone.
Did I brick it? or what should I do now to try to fix it?
ok, I just took out the battery and waited for about 30 seconds then put it back in and the phone is fine...The directions with the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a program, are they correct? I followed them exactly and the phone got stuck. Also when I tried to let it do it automatically it disconnected my phone with activesync. Is it supposed to do that? Sorry for the questions, I just dont want to brick this thing.
