I have already read the necessary post before I did the radio upgrade.
I have got the security unlock program, however, what he told me to do is to downgrade the radio to 1.02.xxxx or below, and I can do it by a custome ROM.
I think I have missed understand his saying, I just download an old radio file, then use Diamond CustumRUU to flash to phone, and then I wasnt able to do the unlock, error in step 2. (luckily I didn't kill my phone)
Does anyone know the correct procedure please? How can I tell whether my phone's security lock is being unlocked?
My radio version now is 1.00.25.05, and I would like to upgrade it to 1.17.25.09. I have already done the HardSPL.
Many thanks from all the replies
there is a version of the radio 1.17 that doesn't need security unlock...to flash it simply rename the .nbh file in diamimg.nbh copy it in the internal storage then press soft reset then within 3 seconds keep pressing volume down and back button
could anyone direct me to where I could find this ROM?
My diamond having served me faithfully is now about to move on to become my father's phone when my new HTC desire arrives.
My father uses a different network from me and Orange UK have operator locked my diamond......It'll need unlocked. I'm just looking for the tools to do the job myself now!

here you are
thank you so much, I will give it a go
btw, is this radio good? in terms of energy saving and reception?
Will this lack of security thing result in the phone being operator unlocked? - i.e. can insert sims from any operator.
That's really the main issue over here!
Thanks all!

no, based on what I know, security lock is different to SIM lock, security lock is just for flashing radio, the security here means the security of the phone hardware, so if u unlock it, then u can do whatever u want on the phone, a bit like HARDSPL, but this is to do with the program loader.
SIM lock is the lock for network, but I am sorry I don't know whether u can get the unlocker, think you can pm one of the member in here to get it free.

hi i have xda1 with t-mobile
it only shows t-mobile and hangs there
it shows
t-mobile
4.01.19
which rom should i use and what is the method to write that rom
Thanx in advance
Normally you should see ROM Version (in you case 4.01.19) and also 2 other Version. But I´m sure, you do not see this numbers....
I think you have flashed the wrong radiostack to your device and now you have GSM Error when you enter the bootloader....
Try this instructions:

i ve downloaded the same rom version on my phone but still it hangs at the startup with showing
3.17.03
with no radio versions and etc.
The phone was fell down from me and it started the problem from same time.
plz give me solution it is very urgent
You may have damaged some internal component when you dropped the phone. Are you pushing resetting the phone after flashing, by pushing once in the hole under the headset socket then wait one minute and push once more.
You are saying that you have ROM version 4.01.19
If I remember correctly that ROM version can only be unlocked using the SD card method. Is it possible that somebody tried to unlock it and screwed it up?
Either way it sounds like you need a new main board for it.
my phone is finally ok with some problems
i ve successfully made my mobile in working condition by some technical methods but i still have some problems with its software. from where i can get the exact radio stack for being used here in Pakistan. is it wants auto configuration but my operator and country is not listed in that menu.

Now i m gettin an error message that says "cant upgrade rsu prss ok to restart" it comes again and again. rsu upgrading was done first time with no errors but soon after it,it start giving me that message and in the startup screen it shows the previous version of radio stack which was 6.24.00. Plz tell me what is wrong that i did and how to resolve that trouble?

I have a second t-mobile dash, it used to be a brick. Someone messed it up.
Luckly found a way to manully put it in bootloader 3 color mode (holding the camera button for 3-4 seconds and hit the power button), then downloaded the latesest WM6 rom from T-Mobile 1.22.531.4. Flushed succefully, rebooted and the PC part of the phone now works perfectly.
Big problem is that it can not find the T-mobile phone network. That part just keep searching... No network. Testing by plugging in a cingular sim card. Prompt me for sim unlock code. So I guess the sim slot is at least working and it's reading the sim card. Used other perople's sim card, still not working(of course the sim card still work, plugging into my old samsung phone).
The radio version is now 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 . It's way different from my other dash...I am suspecting it to be the cause. WHAT RADIO VERSION HAVE YOU GUYS GOT?
Any idea how to fix it? try with changing the radio version may be?
Thanks
Can a few people just tell me what radio version are you on?
I was wondering, would a stolen phone be locked by the carrier so that the phone can't detect network?
This item is bought through ebay so i don't know what the previous guy was up to..
Thanks
Leo
Radio version change
Come on guys, anyone?
How about if anyone would like to point me to the right direction in how to change the radio version on the t mobile dash... is it a hardware thing or a software thing.
Thanks
Leo
there is a radio updtae in the ftp :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur
but i don't know if this upgrade is good or not
no, this radio upgrade is no good. do not even bother..
I suggest that you flash original T-Mobile firmware to this handset. Be that WM5 or WM6 and see how you go.
my Excalibur is HTC S620, radio version: 2.63
Firmware or ROM?
Thanks guys for your reply.
SecureGSM : Do you mean the ROM for the whole WM6 software (which I have already flushed.. twice). Or a firmware like a computer bios? If there is a firmware please point me to the right direction I'll definately want to put it in.
Thanks
Leo
Hi,
I was referring to the original WM5 T-Mobile ROM. You might have a better chance with it.
Radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 is provided in the WM6 upgrade from T-mobile.
Last two days I have read all the threats in this forum for my problem but I couldnt find any solutions.
I bought my unlock s621 from compusa about a month ago and I have tryed to upgrade it two days ago. Duiring the upgrade proces when scale %3 it stoped to active sync connection.
Later I learned from this forum that this happened because I had to cid unlock before upgrade but I didnt know this before ) I chrashed original wm 6 rom.
Then I read all about treats which about this issue. I opened phone in three color bootloader mode with pushing camera buton.
I have try to learn my cid id like what write here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379318
My phone didnt give the cid id with this method and I have tryed this one and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379622 this one didnt help. I used several windows computers and many times.
I have tryed to install all official roms in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726 but non of them help. All going to %3 and then say wrong id error 270 or 262 etc.
I learned that there is no way to unlock cid under bootloader mode I have to find original official rom which device has before.
I can't learn cid id so I dont know what was before.
Just I know when I was do hard reset to old wm6 rom was starting spanish.
Questions;
1. Anyone know that which rom can recover this phone?
2. Is there any way to cid unlock it in bootloader mode which I didnt find it.?
Thank you.
(Sory for my english)
No one knows any official Rom for this phone?
Please read the Wiki
And here you find the cid unlocker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
Good luck,
orb3000 Thank you for replay I have read all wiki but my device has turned to three color mode after first errror 270.
As I learned that device is not connect to activesync in three color mode. SDA and USPL- CID BYPASS unlockers are need actvesync for connect and unlock to device. Or device need original rom which what was before for live and connect to activesync and unlock.
Do you have any idea connect device to activesync in bootloader mode?
Thank you

Connect your phone to your PC, while he is in thebootloader and flash it with a official rom.
You don't need to connect with active sync.
jhwo99 thanks again but non of the official roms are working for my device. (I treid all official roms from this site)
I wrote htc and they said according to serial number my device came from spain I treid last official spanish rom many times with different computer but it comes just %3 then turnoff. It gives wrong ID or something like that.
Even I tried change rom version other than to 1.30.515.1 (This is the my device rom version which I tought)
I did it with some of rom cook tools (By the way I get more knowlage how to rom cook) But this time it gives error again not wrong ID but something different.
So I am looking for official spanish 1.30.515.1 rom or tool for unlock cid under boot loader without activesync.

When did you buy your phone ?

Hi every one, my phone model is HTC Hermes 8525 locked to Att. Now it is in original box with Windows Mobile 5. I want to unlock it first. I have read articles on this BBS and aware that if I want to do future Rom flashing things I might need both SIM and CID unlocked. At same time I found several unlock code provider on Ebay.com. Now the questions come up.
1) Is Unlock code got via Ebay only for SIM unlock, or it is for both?
2) Is there any risk for such kind of unlock code for my phone? What's the worst outcome for using unlocker software downloaded here?
3) If I don't unlock my CID, can I still upgrade my phone with WM6? What specific ROM of WM6 shall I use?
4) Any other suggestion is welcomed, Ad's also.
Thanks a head

Hi and welcome to xda-developers forum!
1) I think this "unlock code" will provide you an ability to disable/re-enable SIM Lock/Operator Lock, not CID Lock (as it's platform specific and required to flash unofficial ROMs)
2) The worst is device will become brick. But it could occur only if you download and flash wrong ROM.
3) No, if it's unofficial. If HTC provided a WM6 update to Hermes (I don't remember), it could be flashed.
Good luck

i just got that phone, i found a guy on youtube for the sim unlock, it worked for my phone , now it runs a tmobile sim card ya. not sure what cid a nd all that is, on youtube most people dont give details on how to get things done but there is the one guy for the sim. next i upgraded to wm6 using a google search and deciphering through all the bull****, then i used xda for wm6.1. it all worked and i dont know **** so u should be fine, if you know how to unzip and do things with files and alwas look for exe. extentsion, that ones usually money, im trying to upgrade to 6.5 but im getting errors, first time im having propblems, so let me know anybody, about that. good luck
What phone do you have?
Hello
I just wanted to say HI. I just registered. Been exploring this site for some time now. I have the touch pro 2. I really like it. I have had a lot of phones, mostly iphones and blackberries (I used to sell them). Done a lot of unlocking, but now am getting into serious business
So just wanted to say Hi. Thanks for helping me get an education. I will say this information is very hard to navigate though. You guys are amazingly smart about this stuff.
So far I have the MightyROM. Trying to understand the different types of locks/locking. For the TP2. From Iphones I learned about basebands and firmwares. This TP2 is on a whole new level by comparison though. Very confusing. Trying to skim through the wiki. Information seems hard to come by. I have basic knowledge only pretty much, but it's all diverse (done light java programming, etc...)
Really interested in the Registry edit capabilities. Right now I just have Rescoe. I thought for sure there would be a way to unlock by going that route but doesn't seem to work on anything I have tried. Don't really understand the parameters/keys and don't know how exactly to find out.
I will just keep plugging away I guess. Tried to buy the security unlocker but ran into problems with paypal freezing my account and what not... I really hate paypal...
Thanks though. You guys do great things!
What is Security Unlock?
Ok hello again, I now have a very good question I think:
What is Security Unlocking?
I was reading the wiki and that clarified a lot of things for me as far as CID/ROM unlocking and SIM unlocking but I didn't see anything about security unlocking. I am under the impression that I need to security unlock but I don't know why and I would really like to know.
Last nite I tried to download and install the radio upgrades from Olipro but the phone bricked into bootloader and I had to reflash the mighty ROM to get it back up and running again. As my understanding is that I am currently CID/ROM unlocked but I can't seem to unlock the Radio/GSM without Security unlocking. Can please tell me why? Is this an added mechanism to prevent this that is recent advancement on the carriers part I am guessing but how does it work and why? Thanks so much if you tell me!!!

what do you mean by trying to unlock the radio? SIM unlock?
security unlock allows flashing non-stock radios. (but you must pay attention if you're flashing a radio that's compatible with your phone model.)

Well I'm not quite sure but I will explain what I am seeing.
When I put a SIM in the network doesn't register but it shows the new phone number in phone settings on the first tab. On the second tab in 'Network' it doesn't detect and keeps saying "searching for network" etc...
My radio says WF. the hhspl works fine and I can flash any ROM. The only ROM I haven't tried is a GSM ROM because in my understanding that bricks the phone (What is the brick? Tricolor? Black screen?). However I haven't been able to flash any Radio's at all. It gets to 100% and then quits with an error and reverts the phone to tricolor screen and the only way to get it out is to Reflash a ROM. I was able to Flash a Sprint ROM with the windows mobile 6.1 version. I have to say that one really sucks lol but it did manage to change the radio version. After I changed the Radio Version to 1.96WF I reflashed back to MightyROM and tried to run the unlocker again, didn't work. Then I tried to reflash another radio. Didn't work and bricked the phone to tricolor/bootloader again.
So am I CID locked Or Security locked? Either way the process should work I thought? None of the programs seem to be doing what they are fully designed to do.
Thnx a bunch!
Something!
I purchased a brand new T-Mobile SIM and IT REGISTERED!
I was able to call the T-Mobile Help line.
There was some trouble with the activation, but I think I got it. I guess I didn't need the security unlock after all???
weird. And the radio version is sprint. In my understanding, a sprint baseband/radio is not supported on T-mobile, yet I have access to the frequencies/bands. For example on an iphone in order to pick up frequencies from T-mobile or any other GSM carrier you have to upgrade the baseband/radio version to one that supports those frequencies. The last iphone I had I had to use an IPAD baseband in order to unlock it. So this is completely different.
THIS MAKES ME VERY VERY CURIOUS!
Yea the security unlocker doesn't work for the U.S. Cell version... at least mine it doesn't. I made some youtube videos and a thread to show that. I figured out another way to unlock though using the HardSPL, Flashing to a Sprint Stock ROM to get that radio, and then flashing again to MightyROM.
What I meant by unlocking the radio is basically I am thinking of the radio in terms of the radio picks up certain signals (like 800mhz, 850mhz, 1900mhz, etc...) but each carrier prevents their radios from picking up all but one of the signal, the one they use, and prevents the rest from communicating with the device (guessing this would be the device modem?) so when I say "unlock Radio" I was meaning unlock those other frequencies and get rid of the programming which blocks them and use my device to full capability.
So now I get to see what this baby can really do thanks

if you only flashed Hard-SPL, then you are still security locked in terms of radio.
Hard-SPL is only designed to unlock the SPL, not the radio. so, it does do what it was designed to do, unlocks your phone for normal ROM flashing.

both Hard-SPL and our sim/security unlocker (separate program from Hard-SPL) work for US cellular tp2.
as for the Tmobile SIM, some of the newer SIM cards will work with that sprint radio. not all of these SIM cards will.
