Unlocking Hermes Extended_ROM with WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I'm trying to unlock the Ext.Rom but with no Luck. I know that the first suggestions will be to use the search funtion but I have done that. There are several Registry hacks and programs but none of them work. They only make it visible but write protection is still on so I can't change to contents.
I'm using the Hermes with an orginal German T-Mobile WM6 Rom.
Any suggestions?
Thankful for any help
Cheers

Did you take a look at the Wiki?
Did you soft reset after applying the tweak?

Hi Jocool,
yes to both questions. I've spent about 8 hours trying different solutions and programms with no success.

is it SuperCID?

I'm using the Hermes with an orginal German T-Mobile WM6 Rom.
Seems NO SuperCID.

if I remember correctly it must be SuperCID to work.

Yep it ACTUALLY needs to be SuperCID i believe from WM6 onwards to have read/write access to the ext_rom. The tweak i believe only worked for everybody in WM5.
Use pof's unlocker to make it SuperCID if you really want access.

B&B v4 after O2 WM6 upgrade READ FIRST!!!

If Anyone has applied the WM6 update from O2 to their Orbit, you may find that you need to downgrade back to WM5 before installing B&B v4 ROM. The reason is the USPL that is updated. After flashing O2 ROM the USPL is updated to 3.something. When running the USPL program the SPL number changes to 1.11.0000. This does not happen after O2 upgrade.
So far only way to remedy this is to flash back to WM5, re-flash USPL and then flash new ROM.
And where do i get the "old" WM5-O2-Rom for my Orbit?
Thanx!

Thanks CoolGadget - that was fast.
1 more question for a newbie like me:
-I own the german version of the O2-Orbit - does this make a difference?
Cheers

Before everyone who's done the update to WM6 goes down this road, try this.
1. Make sure you're using a Windows XP PC!!
2. hard reset.
3. perform basic setup as normal.
4. soft reset.
5. apply uspl.
6. flash with B&B 4.
I had the offical WM6 ROM on mine, and actually just soft reset it, applies USPL and flashed and didn't have a single problem.
What is USPL?
OK this is a really stupid question, but what is a uspl?
Thanks for this tip,
it worked perfectly for me.
I unlocked my Orbit with C3v2Unlock from Imei Check (and of course my .unl key), prior to USPL Flash, but I'm not sure if it was necessary as USPL makes your phone SuperCID temporarily.
Anyway thanks again,
B&B 4.0 rocks !!

...or simply click the only sticky post in this forum...
1. To all members I would always recommend running USPL first before downgrading rom - if the spl no's change then it worked and you can flash another rom. (it worked on my orbit after flashing official o2 wm6 rom)
2. After supercid unlock from imei check - your device is permanently cid unlocked no matter what rom you flash - there is no need to run cid unlock again or uspl.
Shand if poss can you update your post as members will end up confused - if you doubt the info its here on the forum - read posts from faria and others.
I had o2 WM6 and I just flashed with uspl and then B&B 4.0, didn't need to downgrade back to wm5.

Just did a friends orbit, had no problems either.
I just did my XDA Orbit. Downgraded to the official 02 WM5 (as I'd installed the new 02 WM6 official version), ran the USPL and installed the new version. It's so sweet!
Also, I did mine using Vista - no probs. Just make sure you have old active sync drivers installed for Bootloader mode. Ask if you're unsure.
Actually while I'm here, I can see I can overclock the CPU. What's the maxium I can take it to, (safely)?

HTC WWE Rom Upgrade

Hi Guys,
I have an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK. I Understand (I think) the reasons that you guys use HardSPL and Super CID etc but I have a simple query.
I have downloaded the HTC WWE Rom from the links here on this site. Do I have to bother with the normal runaround (HardSPL / Super CID) as this is an "official" update for the hermes ?
I do not intend to use my Hermes with A.n.other provider just T-Mobile. Will I have to do anything special ?
Before you flame me (Somebody will be tempted I am sure) I have read and re-read the forums here, but they all seem to point that the steps like Hardspl and SuperCID are necessary only if applying cooked roms !?!
yes no matter what just cid unlock and get hard spl v7 so you cant brick your hermes
dont be a N00B,

Thanks for the prompt response, I am still confused though. I assumed I didn't have to worry about bricking if I was using the official HTC Rom?
Also I read that HardSPL7 would meant the HTC Rom didn't work and I would have to go with a cooked ROM, in which case I might as well just go Schapps or something. I would like to just go with the basic WM6 ROM HTC provide and tweak it with software. No offence to any of the chefs here of course, but I don't think I need anything fancy.
nuthing will work aprt from the stocck t-mobile rom so you hav to cid and hard spl i got vario 2 aswell and it will not brick if you do these things
than you can flash any rom
Ok Cool. Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it turns out.
gimme your msn and ill go through it with you
download this rom its great http://rapidshare.com/files/53224152/supa_dupa_beta_2.zip

You don't need to do a CID unlock if you apply Hard SPL V7. Hard SPL will make your device think that is SuperCID. You need only SIM unlock if you're going to use other than T-Mobile network.

Found something in Artemis forums, but the excadiag.nbh was not in the archive only the artediag.nbh.
Found service manuals for alot of htc phones online, but haven't found the files yet.

Checkout the Artemis thread on this, the file is from HTC SimLock utility to LOCK phones and generate unlock codes. Just search for excadiag to find the thread.

Very interesting thread
If you want I can produce a flashable version of my USPL. You will then not have issues with security level, vendor/model and signature checking. You can rename arte diag to excadiag and h*ck away

Is this different from the excalibur USPL you already made? I have tested it and it works great (Flashed HTC WM6 WWE Rom, SD Flashed TMO WM5 Rom, and back to TMO WM6 Rom without a hitch). Would this pose a risk flashing artemis utility to excalibur device (such as the VOX USPL that some used on Excaliburs and are having issues with)?

It's the same USPL minus a patch which will automatically load it in bootloader mode (RUU). So it behaves like a normal SPL 1.11 except it doesn't check signatures and model/vendor id and the security level is 0.
I don't think the diag util will cause great danger. It's basically a front-end to the diagnostics which reside in SPL. However, I may be wrong and of course do not accept any responsibility for trouble with your device. If it is present on your memstick and if you enter bootloader mode it will be automatically executed. With an original SPL it will not be loaded, but with the USPL it is very well possible that it is found and executed

How to unlock/upgrade O2 XDA Diamond 1.37.207.3 GER

Hi XDA-Users,
I am very confused about if flashing my XDA is possible or not. Using the Board-Search for some hours now did not give me the right threads. Pershaps I am using the false keywords.
So, if there is a thread I can solve my problem with, let me know, please. If not, I hope you can help me.
For about one year I have a O2 XDA Diamon. Systeminformation is as shown below:
ROM-Version 1.37.207.3 GER
ROM-Date 06/23/08
Radio 1.00.25.03
Prtocoll-Ver 52.26a.25.09H
I never updated the ROM. As I saw, there is a new O2-Firmware-Update. But I do not like the branded style. So, I want to flash it with an actual non-branded ROM in German.
As I read in other topics, that upgrading only works with special revisions.
For example here, written by rorydaredkign
yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps
Rory

So, I am not sure if 1.37.xx is able or not.
Is there a way to upgrade my XDA? The WM-Version I am running is very instable and crashes very often.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Start with this thread and post there if you get stuck (you'll get much more covage that here )
Ta,
Dave
So, this is also for my XDA? Before I will search along the 30 pages...can you quickly tell me, if there is a German ROM for my XDA?
Greetings

I think it has nothing to do with the CID unlock, maybe you need to update NET CF to a higher version to support diverse applications..
What is NET CF? Does that mean I have to move to WM6.1 instead of WM6?
thanks

I guess no need for that, you simply install NET CF 3.5.cab or NET CF 3.7.cab to your device
