I spent a whole day yesterday learning to unlock my new Cingular 8525. Then I tried it using HTC Hermes SIM Unlock v2a, and I followed closely discussion threat between crazyut and pof (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-286248.html), but I failed!
Steps as follows: I directly run RUU until ERROR 114 appeared. Then tried to copy HERM_Unlock_v2.exe to the phone, but found that I need to install the software to enable transfer of file from computer to the phone, so I install it. Unfortunately, the installation failed. In Device Manager there is item Windows CE USB Devices, with sub-item: HTC USB Sync(!). There is message: This device cannot start (Code 10). Then I tried uninstall and reinstall, but did not work.
So I use another computer. It can be installed, and connect the phone to this computer, and transfer the file. But I could not run it (I double click it; and also tried to run from: Start, Run, but no response).
Question: (i) Can the phone still be unlock (since the process was interrupted), (ii) Can I continue the process using another computer?, (ii) how can I transfer the file to the phone that can be executed, so I can complete the process.
Appreciate your help.
what bootloader do you have??? one of the first lines in the hermes unlocking thread is this:
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
How to enter bootloader can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
there is no need to post the same question in different threads. I have deleted your other post in regards to this matter. Next time make a post in the device specific thread
Many thanks finally a response to my posting (noted also your note regarding second posting - thanks). My bootloader is 1.06.
My understanding is that I can downgrade the bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program, is this correct?
During the process, there is already a message "ERROR 114" as mentioned in Install instruction.
as an FYI you would have gotten a faster response in the hermes upgrading board.. but here is a post you need to read about downgrading your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284401
when you follow those instructions make sure you follow #3 as stated.. if its not done as stated you will not accomplish this correctly...
Thank you, I will check and read the info from the link you mention. I.ll get back to you later. Thanks
I have googled the DownGrade_SPL.rar for more than a couple of hours, but could not get free file. All website that I found, we should pay, and some of them $35 - is this really the case? Is there website that can provide free file? Thanks
you dont need the downgrade....
first flash your phone cingular 1.6 bootloader phone with this..it will change your cingular phone to bootloader 1.4..both files are from cingular roms which makes you abe to downgrade your phone from cingular 1.6 to the 1.4 bootloader..understand??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277664

thanks for pointing that out.. i COMPLETELY forgot about that... my head was definitely not in the game last night... Thanks
Many thanks to Shogunmark and Honestable for the advise. I have open the link and it seems that I need to study that first before proceed with thyis great work (e.g. I need to understand how to flash the cingular 1.6 bootloader with ... what file? -apologies for not understand some jargons). Let me also go through the information in the links. And I will get back to you, if I need further clarifications.
Many thanks
Re: Unlocking the 8525
Why not just call Cingu;lar and ask for the unlock code. If your a customer for more than three months, they have to give it to you!

cause this does more than unlock sim on the phone, this also unlocks the cid on the phone as well...

I learn much from the process. I found the forum has been an exellent site for consultation and discussions. Thanks much to Shogunmark.
All the best for the New Year!

I tried to unlock my Orange branded Touch Pro 2 using the sim unlocker from http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/ but it didn't work with my phone.
Have someone else managed to unlock their Orange TP2 and what procedure did you follow?
I want to use the phone with my Swedish carrier Telia.
Thanks!

Yes that's the unlocker I used and it didn't work. Any other suggestions?

There's a thread for questions/answers about the unlocker you're using already created. Your best bet is to post your problem in that thread. When you do you'll want to include a whole lot more data than "it didn't work" as well. Post what steps you took, what errors you received, etc.
Ah yes. I posted there already but received no answer so I figured it was better to create a new thread.
I'll take your advice however and stick with that thread.
Thanks.
Olipro is owner of the site where you were unlocking your phone, send him pm or something.
Afternoon all, first time post-er, long time reader.
I'm tired of waiting for the official update from Orange for 2.2 so I have taken it upon myself to root my phone and unlock it, with the vain hope that this will allow my Kies to provide me with the update.
I have successfully rooted my phone as I have a little ninja man in my apps, and I have downloaded the SGS Unlock App from DaGentooBoy, but it tells me my unlock code is 00000000. This isn't correct as I have tried it, twice, with a 3 sim card and I only have 1 attempt left. Anyone have any ideas what has gone wrong? I am new to this, and although I'm not afraid to try most things, I would rather have a straight forward response or link provided so that I am filled with confidence
I have seen some posts about an Odin method, but I have no idea what that is
Any ideas??? Please??
If your talking about unlocking and going to a diff. Company I would call t mobile and tell then I bought the phone for someone else and need to unlock the phone as they are with a diff company maybe they won't charge if its a gift for someone else I mean you already bought the phone so they got your money
Unlocking so you can use other provider's sim cards and flashing a different rom are two different things. If your Orange branded phone isn't allowing you to update you can do this kies registry hack

If you're looking at unlocking as well you can check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045, or whatever other methods you can find to unlock. I read a thread on here about the unlock codes for the galaxy series actually being stored in the system directory somewhere but I can't find the thread. I'll update this post if I can find it again.
Edit - Found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867331 apparently it wasn't specific to the Galaxy series, just samsung in general. Hope it works for you.
Thanks for the help people. It hasn't worked for me, but thats because I've no idea what I am doing!! Guess I'll just wait for Orange to send the official update.........
Greetings, I did look for information here on the forum for 2 evenings. I cannot find any usable hint. Probably it is really too basic.
Anyway, I am trying to root and s-off this phone. I already did one - beginner's luck, I guess - without any problems using the wiki. On this one, I get an "[1] illegal instruction" as soon as I try to launch the psneuter.
So I do not have root. I tried it several times, re-read the wiki, I assumed I need to downgrade the firmware. Then I realized I do not know where to find it. The only place with similar info is Settings - About phone. But there I only find model number, Android version, baseband, kernel, build. In this order.
So please tell me how to check the firmware version, and if anybody can, what am I doing wrong that I cannot get root. I downloaded the files fresh and I do not get any error before adb shell ...psneuter. Thank you.
Edit:
I still do not know how to get to the firmware version, but after another factory reset, the procedure worked. Thank you.

On the About Phone screen, if the Android version is 2.3 then you need to downgrade

Thank you. The wiki is saying 1.75, 1.34 or something like that. That is what I was looking in the phone for. My Android version was 2.2 though, ok, thanks again.

If you're running 2.2, you're fine... no downgrade required. This is the method I used and it worked flawlessly:

I'm sure it is still lurking out there somewhere but it is very illusive. I spent hours looking yesterday and every link I found for it was dead. I just want to unlock the sim and I just got the phone its on 4.3. If someone could pm me the zip or something,I would surely appreciate it. Thanks dudes and dudettes.
Found the next radio up from it still 4.1.1 if anyone is looking for sim unlock .
