I just recently Purchased a HTC TYTN from Rogers, now i am having problems, how easy it to unlock this phone by hardware was reading about unlocking steps etc. how to do it with the softwares.
Or I bumped into a website http://www.123Unlocking.net unlocking by IMEI i called them they said they give me code and enter it in.
What are plus and negative what way should i go, i dont really want to break my phone, i am not that much of a tech savy guy please give me your input thanks!
Pof way is dead easy mate
what's even easier is calling your service provider, telling them you're going overseas, and asking for the code
Hello,
I would like to unlock my vodafone 1615 and I saw you method to do it. But I read that I need the SPL 1.0 Olipof version. Now in my Kaiser I have the SPL 3.28. I would like to know if I can unlock my kaiser with this SPL version or I need to install before the SPL 1.0 Olipof version. Thank you in advance.

SPL 1.0 Olipof is a version of hard spl, you flash that to your device before doing the sim unlock.
Use the unlocker in this thread, by memory it does the whole lot, hard spl, and sim unlock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
once you have done the unlock, i would then upgrade the radio rom to one of the recent ones, then update hard spl to a recent one, then update the rom to a wm6.1 rom. You need to start reading through the kaiser forum and wiki both of you.
Use that link for the sim unlock though, definately the easiest, i did it the other day on my replacement phone.

JumpSPL is a WinCE application that allows to place a custom file on device's RAM memory and execute the arbitrary code contained on it by jumping into its physical memory address.
This method is tipically used to load a patched bootloader in RAM and execute it, so with JumpSPL you can potentially bypass any bootloader protections put by the manufacturer on a Windows Mobile based device, but you have to patch the bootloader yourself.
I'll be updating comment #2 with links to patched SPLs and future projects using JumpSPL, if you use JumpSPL in your project please post a comment or PM me.
JumpSPL should work on any WinCE device (not necessarily manufactured by HTC), although I have only tested it on HTC devices.
For more details and usage instructions please see the included README file.
DONATIONS:
Your donations are a strong incentive to continue research on new devices, if you find JumpSPL useful please cosider making a PayPal donation. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated
Patched SPLs
Notes on patching & testing custom SPLs:
Disassemble the SPL using radare (free) or IDA Pro (commercial).
You need to press the bootloader buttons after loading your custom SPL with JumpSPL, otherwise device will reboot. You can also patch the SPL to enter bootloader mode automatically, so you don't have to press the buttons.
Some devices require that you unplug and re-plug the USB cable after the SPL has been loaded.
On some devices (TI OMAP) you'll see a white screen instead of the usual tri-color screen, don't worry about that, you're in bootloader mode.
Use patched SPLs with caution, try to flash splash screens to do the initial tests and avoid bricking your device.
To know the jump address you can use itsutils 'pmemdump -p' and try to find a copy of the SPL in memory. You can find the virtual address with dumpromx.exe.
Projects using JumpSPL:
HTC Kaiser SSPL v1 and HardSPL v1
Attached SPL patches:
Kaiser Jump address is 0x00000000
Artemis & Herald Jump address is 0x10000000
Dude. If you can get this to work on the T-Mobile Wing, you will be my own personal hero.
@Mi|enko: Patched SPL for T-Mobile Wing (Herald) attached to comment #2
So ... its possible this way to CID unlock a Prophet G4 ? Can you make a version for prophet?
@kalavera: I don't own a Prophet, but yes should be possible to CID unlock it using this tool. Olipro and the-equinoxe have patched the Wizard's G4 SPL, which should be very close to prophet's, they will be able to help you with the SPL patches.
what patch is compatible to wizard?
Finally I could convert Dopod C800 into a fully working Atlas.Long live POF
Good work Pof!! This could have saved me a bit of time custom compiling my own HaRET for the Titan Hard-SPL. I'm sure it will speed up the unlocking of many future devices!
thanks again my friend!!
you did it again
Good jobs
What its adress to Htc Oxygen? Thanx
How about ATOM PURE, can i use this safely for CID unlock then i can use now sharkindark pagepool changer?

which I can modify with jumpspl in herald?
os is ok,but how about others?
SPL
IPL
EXTEND_ROM
SPLASH
and modify SPL IPL seems to be quite dangerous...since I bricked herald before.

It's an OMAP device, so I guess the address will be also 0x10000000.

You need to patch a bootloader first, and find the jump address.

You can modify any rom part once you can flash unsigned code, but as you say be careful with IPL & SPL. Also try to not screw the OS part if you don't have a ROM matching your CID, otherwise you'll be stuck in bootloader.
Sir i dont know to patch the bootloader and find the jump address..how?

Hi Pof,
We have a Quanta manufactured device. a.k.a. Atom / Atom Pure / Atom Exec / Atom Life. CID can easily be bypassed in our devices by simply upgrading it in bootloader mode OR do SD CARD flashing. Our problem really pertains to RAPI tools than to upgrade our device with any ROM.
We really don't know if CID is the cause for RAPI tools not to work. The only working tool is to PDOCREAD the device and see its memory layout.
Hope you could shed some light as to how we can patch the bootloader to CID unlock. My knowledge for ARM assembly is very limited...
Thanks,
Jiggs
Okay, I am willing to pay CASH for this if it is what i think it is..
my XDA Terra (Herald) is bricked because I tried to flash it from Touch-It 1.1 to Touch it 2.0. Now, I need the RUU of the XDA Terra which is branded by the provider O2. O2 however does not provide any ROM yet so I am stuck in the united states with a bricked GErman phone I cant even send it in.
Can this jump SPL help me somehow??
please, I will be eternally thankful !!!!

Use the same tools as in Artemis or Elf, splash format is exactly the same, and ExtROM format too, you can edit it with winimage.

On a (somewhat) related note, would the admins protest if I released a (multi-device) IMEI changing util?

I don't think they will protest as long as HTC (or any operator) protests. But make it clear to the end-user to consult local laws before attempting to use your tool, and make sure to put a disclaimer to exempt you of any responsibilities for illegal use of the tool.

Sorry but my knowledge of Atom and Quanta devices is very limited too.
If you want some help, please send me a quanta bootloader and tell me the exact message you get from bootloader (not from RUU) when you try to flash an Atom ROM not intended for your device (ie: not matching your CID, or language...).

Hi,
I'm looking into buying Cingular 8525 and unlocking it. I don't see Cingular 8525 written in description for this forum so I'm not sure if it's right place to ask questions.
Here is questions.
1. If I unlock the phone and then download and install official ATT WM6 upgrade, will it relock the phone?
2. Is it ok to use HTC WWE ROM on my phone or it might not work becouse of original branding?
Yes the Cingular/AT&T 8525 is the Hermes.
As for unlocking.. Good luck.. I just got mine 3 weeks ago and discovered that it had already been upgraded to a boot loader that can not be unlocked at this time.
I don't think upgrading the rom to WM6 will re lock the phone.
Not sue on the second part about the WWE rom.
yes it is. I have one.
1. no it won't relock the phone. But read mr vanx guide and wiki before unlock and upgrade. also it is adviced that you install hardspl 2.10 or above.
2. HTC WWE ROM will work only issue might come to you is the keyboard layout which can be fixed if you do little search.

8525 equals Hermes. Unlocking your device may void any warranty you have. You should only use ROMs made for the Hermes which you will find in this forum.

Agree with all of the above comments, with the exception of this one... Loading a non OEM rom, WILL void your warranty... However, many members have been able to successfully reflash with an OEM rom before taking it back to the providers and having any warranty action performed... So, if you need to have your device repaired under the terms of your warranty, you would need to reflash to the OEM version or they will send it back to you unrepaired...
The needed file for fixing the keyboard translation issue is called Cingular Keyboard Fix... a simple google search on this forum should locate it for you... Or you can install another application called "Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool v1.1 (recommended)... In this tool, you can choose your keyboard layout as Cingular...
"Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool" would have been hard to find with a Typo...^^
but please READ MR VANX GUIDE!!! PLEASE!!!
This post will also lead you to all the info you'll need about locking/unlocking, flashing ROM's, etc.

I've been going through many topics recently on flashing the diamond.. but iam a lil bit lost since my diamond is not a standard version.
in India, HTC launched the diamond through Airtel (a leading cellular operator) which is only a triband version ! :huh:
only GSM/EDGE/GPRS NO UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA :angry:
i tried to download the official ROM update from htc.com , but on entering my serial number, it says the update does not support my device !
and there arent any update available on the Indian version of their site.
My device info:
ROM version: 1.37.720.2 WWE
ROM date: 06/16/08
Radio version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol version: 52.26a.25.09G
so my question is.. can i use those ROMs which are flying around ? or is it just the radio which i should be careful about ?
is the quadband support limited only through software (like the hardware already supports everything ? ) ?
ofcourse its a locked version, can i update the ROM and debrand it to the original version ? (unlocking it)
i highly appreciate anyone who could guide me on this
I too have the same questions... I too would like to have a faster diamond (1.93)
To install ROM on your diamond -
Install Hard SPL developers edition
Update Radio 1.00.25.05
Flash any ROM you want !
Guys please perform a simple search before posting a new topic .
Here's a big thread on INDIAN 2G diamond
Thanks a lot udayrulz for your response.. i hardly noticed that big thread on Indian 2G diamonds, sorry for that.
since iam new to this (iam not a total newbie, just new to the windows mobile flashing stuff, so hopefully i can grasp everything quickly) , can you point me in the right direction as to which version of Hard SPL i should use ? a search revealed lot of threads with lots of versions.. iam seriously lost !
and do you personally suggest any ROM ? (assuming you are also using the indian diamond)
TA
Use Olipro' Unsigned Hard-SPL first. Then flash the Radio to 25.05 and further on, its your choice..
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks everyone.. i think iam on the right track.. been trying different ROMs and tweaks. everything seems good so far
kudos to the community !

flashing wont unlock your Airtel Diamond, there are some ways by which you can do that.. search for diamond cid unlock.
i unlocked it by buying a code from htccode.com !
But would an unlocked phone get locked after using Hard SPL and updating the Radio and Rom?

Ok, noobs. All these information you could get by using the search button or Google (which you never do). So, in order to keep the thread clean from every kind of question, I’ve compiled some answers for you.
HTC Cavalier comes in three variants: HTC S630 – Europe & USA model (English only), Dopod C730 – Asian model (bilingual, Chinese and English) and Softbank 02HT – Japanese model (bilingual, Japanese and English).
All Windows Mobile Smartphones by default are application locked, that means that you have to unlock you phone in order to install an application (in most cases free apps) from developers. Problem has to do something with a certificate that costs a lot (more than 400$). To do the application unlock go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398945
and please read all the instructions.
There’s no free SIM unlock, so if you want to SIM unlock your device check the web.
There is a CID unlock. With CID unlock you can use HTC Rom on Dopod or Softbank device and vice-versa; also you can use developer made Roms for your devices, in other words cooked Roms.
There are two kind of CID unlock: the real CID unlock – which unlocks your device for real and it is visible if you send your device for repair (it voids your warranty) and the second kind is HardSPL. HardSPL makes your device think that is CID unlocked but in fact it is not (also HardSPL helps you when the issue of Bad Blocks appears), so in other words you don’t void your warranty (if you have one left).
Now, for Cavalier there’s a HardSPL which you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398945
please read all the instructions and especially the thread, as there are a lot of solutions for the problems that you might encounter
Always, after the HardSPL check your device through Mtty.
Mtty.exe is kind of terminal emulation software, which is used to communicate to serial and/or USB enabled devices. On the HTC devices it enables you to issue a selection of commands that allow you to read the status of some of the components, to clear the bootloader flags, to format the internal flashdisk, remove bad blocks etc etc. (this program should of course be used with precautions as you could mess your bootloader).
Most of the information regarding mtty comes from Hermes thread and WIKI (most of the commands are same for PPC and Smartphone), get it here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
Mtty is good against bad blocks as you could see from cruzzmz topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428589
Now there is a unofficial WM6.1 for Cavalier and credit goes to cruzzmz, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425272
There's also a WM6.5 ROM, thanks to ookba: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520756
There is a tutorial how unbrick your Cavalier, again thaks to ookba: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540478
There are a lot of applications and games that work with Cavalier and don’t forget that you can find a lot of freeware which are very nice (keep in mind that most of Excalibur apps works also on Cavalier so don’t forget to check Excalibur thread from time to time).
If you want to cook your own ROM, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425567
For all other questions, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=415&nojs=1#goto_forumsearch, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cavalier or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893

Hi Guys,
First of all I would like to say what a great site XDA Developer is. I have spent some time reading threads and not found any answers to my questions (that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there!) so I am sorry if my noobee questions are a bit stupid…..
I have a UK Vodafone Touch Diamond, SPL 1.90 I am ultimately trying to get to the point where I can use the WST 4.2.2 available on this site.
From reading the many threads I believe that it is possible to do this by downgrading The SPL to 1.11? as a trial I was trying to use the HARD SPL downgrade to 1.4 but I cant seem to get this to work using Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex. I have to use the SSPL transferred to the device and it comes up with the error 244… invalid model ID.
I have read the following links for info but there doesn’t seem to be anything specific for the touch diamond….
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329170

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...mplete-upgrading-guide-hardspl-radio-rom.html
So, my questions are,
-Will I be able to use the Wizard Service Tool with my Touch Diamond?
-can I downgrade to SPL 1.11? if so how? Or point me to the thread I have missed please.
-is there another WST out there that I can use?
If you need more info from me please message.
Many thanks in advance for all your help guys,
Mestrini's WST won't work on the Diamond.
ok thanks, is there anything else out there with the same functionality? for touch diamond?
