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

Hello all,
I got a friend of mine who came to me with a device-password locked Hermes, which password he cannot recall (actually his girlfriend...). I said I would be willing to give him a hand to unbrick the device. The problem is that I cannot install any ROM on the device, coz I got an error connection right after the screen goes white and the percentage count should normally start.
So I put the Herm in Bootloader (spl-1.06) and try to flash the OliPro Bootloader. The procedure goes correctly until the step where the upgrade itself should begin, counting from 0%... here, I got:
ERROR [262]: Update error: communication error.
I also tried to flash a ROM directly, but since my Bootloader is 1.06, I didn't find a CID match ROM, so it also failed. The Herm is now not bricked, but it stays at the password input screen, so cannot enter windows properly.
Any help on this?
Thanks,
Ionutz
Interesting since you are trying to go around something HTC probably did not want for people to go around due to security....

yes, i grih you,and normally i wouldnt even try to do such thing, if it hadnt been for a friend of mine which i know.
besides i would like to learn more stuff about my Herm and this is one thing I havent seen discussed here, although i keep reading xda forums for such info.
just found the solution: i flashed another ROM with same CID since my BL was 1.06, but with BL 1.04. After that, I managed to flash any other ROM and automatically upgrade the SPL to 1.10 or 2.10 Oli accordingly.
If any of you interested and dont get the short explanation, PM me.
cheers,
Io, owner of 2 kicking TyTn's
BL 1.06 didnt allow devices with a different CID to be flashed,
eg: my TyTN had the CID: QTEK001 so i couldnt flash a ROM destined for a device with CID: VODAP001
But BL 1.04 had a bug where you COULD flash any ROM to the device regardless of the CID, the first attempt shows a vendor ID error, then try again and it will flash no problem.
The simplest way I would have got past the device security problem would have been a hard reset.

I know the details about BL 1.04 vs 1.06, thats why I flashed a BL 1.04 ROM, but with the same CID QTEK_001, or smth.
I have to admit though that I never ever thought about doing a simple hard-reset. I guess it would have been to easy, I jumped to more complicate scenarios. Thanks for the help anyway, i gotta learn that.
Thanks mrvanx, glad I read down the whole thread to the part about a simple hard reset working. I lent my 8525 to a friend, thinking he might be interested in buying it, then he didn't have the money, and after I listed it on ebay today, I charged it up to flash to ATT stock, found it password locked, called my friend a few times just getting his voicemail, so tried flashing, and it said the Hermes wasn't connected to the PC...
I figured there would be a solution here at XDA..and POOF, like magic here it is!
So yes, all I had to do was a hard reset, tested and it works, and it was simple, so thanks again mrvanx, although this thread is very old, glad I found it LOL!
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

or alternatively

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 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 ?

Can anyone please post a guide on how to flash Hard-SPL onto my HTC TYTN.
The guide for installing Hard-SPL onto the HERMES is not available anymore, and i am EXTREMELY confused about what im doing, and i am afraid i will brick my phone if i do something wrong.
Please please please help!
Read the sticky, first post on this page.
It really isn't hard to do. But be sure you know what you are doing btw. SO read the sticky!
Basically you just download the flavor of Hard SPL you want (I used 2.10 which I can recommend, very easy to downgrade to factory SPL again as I just learned!).
After download unzip the folder and run the RUUWrapper. Follow instructions exactly, do nout unplug your device etc. and it should work like a charm. It takes about 1 minute!
If you don't know what you are doing or you are still doubting, wait for Mr Vanx site to come online again or don't flash. There is always a risk you screw up and end with a $500 brick.
So use at your own risk!

I appreciate your reply Mr. Vanx. Same as with puca, I put my phone into the bootloader mode and it does indeed show the correct 2.10 Olipro version. This is the 3rd 8525 I have had and I could have SWORN it took much longer on the first 2. Even the update from WM5 to WM6 seemed to take much less time with this particular phone. Guess I shouldn't really complain
Downgrade Error 260
Hi Mr Vanx I have followed your guide to downgrade my current SSPL (2.10 Olipro) to SSPL (1.11). But I keep getting error 260. I have followed guide step by step.
I have even tried flashing from SD-Card (by renaming to HERMING.nbh). Process runs successfully, but nothing happens.
Its still showing SSPL-2.10 Olipro in bootloader. Am I missing anything?
Thanks
can some one point me to the guide. I am facing a NO GSM problem on vodafone VPA 1605 with following config:

Radio: 1.03.06.00
CID: VODAP001
Bootloader: 1.04
I do not see the radio version or the IMEI. So I would like to do a HARDSPLv7 followed by Radio ROM update to 1.06.00.10. I hope this will work. Seniors may help with their sggestion.
Can someone help me with the guide to HARDSPL as I am doing it for the first time and the guides are not available at MR Vanx site nor can I locate the sticky?

Hey, my phone is an At&t 8525 and after finally fixing the white screen problem and flashing hard-spl v7 and a couple of roms I bricked the phone when flashing the last touch flo rom. During the flash the ruu wrapper stopped and indicated there was an error. I did the recovery and it supposedly completed succesfully if I can remember right. When it reboot it would not get past boot loader. And thats where I am now, the phone will not get past boot loader.
I've tried every method on these forum I could found
SD card flashing dosent work, I get the 002..... error in red.
Flashing the factory an at&t rom dosent work either, gets the same error
\
As for as I know the MTTY method dosent work, I don't know how to type in commands into bootloader and when I type in 14 0 in MTTY nothing happens
KITL is not enabled
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.03
The phone does not boot into bootloader when I hit the power button, I have to hold the comm button, power button, and soft reset in order to bring up bootloader.
When bootloader is up and the phone is connected to the computer via usb bootloader displays usb on the screen and windows detects the device as an HTC device.
Again i've spent about a week and a half trying to fix this phone and I don't know what to do anymore, i've tried more methods than listed above I can't remember though. If anyone can give me a hint on what to do I would highly appreciate it. Thanks
P.S Can someone please tell me how you type commands in bootloader or MTTY
You DON'T have Hard SPL V7 installed..... Otherwise your SPL would be 2.10.
Connect the Hermes to the pc, make sure active sync has benn disabled - got to settings, untick connect by USB. It should register on the pc. Go to bootloader then run the .nbh file for your stock rom... Make sure its the carrier rom that it was shipped with. It doesn't have to be WM05 but it DOES have to be your ORIGINAL carrier rom. Let it run through, you may gewt lucky.....
If it works, INSTALL HARD SPL V7....... Makes it so much easier to fix then...
Good luck...
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
I tried downloading and sd card flashing a stock rom from a list of factory roms of all Hermes that I found here on xda. It gave me the same error though. I'm not exactly sure which exact rom to download from that list either. Any more help would be appreciated, thx
Wow I feel retarded, I used the wrong factory rom. After I used the right one it worked perfectly, I now have my 8525 back! Thx so much man, ur the friggin man!
Congrats bro you got it atlast. good luck & take care your baby in future. try to help others with your experience.
Glad you fixed it mate, but if I were you I'd also make sure you have Hard SPL V7 installed. It is the safety net to help when things go wrong... Never gonna be 100% safe but better odds with Hard SPL V7...
SPL - 2.10 oli
Cheers...
Ok... Rejoining the 8525 Clan
Is this Forum still alive???
Been a while guys, figured I would break out the 8525... charge it up and see what kind of things are new in this community. Unfortunately, it looks as if the radio is bricked on it. Seems like it will install ROM's that the radio is not included on. NO GSM is on the boot display, which is strange as I was using this phone until I got the Tilt about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I was a hardcore flasher back then... every other day it seemed, so I know it has (or had) everything it needed like the Oli 2.10 SPL... but it seems like I cannot recover this radio issue.
I am messing with the different original OEM and Carrier ROMs hoping I can get passed the 11-12% mark, and I will let you know if something changes. Any idea if un-installing SPL 2.10 Oli, and then trying to walk back through the old SPL steps could help? I am just trying to figure out another way to get around this radio issue... or basically I have a PDA, no phone Damn phone hasn't been touched in like 2 years, you think it would be just as fine as it was when I took the SIM out.
