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
Then follow instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282073

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...

hi.i want to upgrade my imate jamin to wm6..i have the latest rom version,but i didn t reach to upgrade to wm6,i trid hard but i always get disconected from my windows sync,imate support told me yhat i can t upgrade my jamin ro wm6,but here in xda i heard that there is a way to do it..pks pks help..i need to know howstep by step ,if anyone can help me pls.co i/m tired trying ...without succes,,thanks..
well of course imate will tell u that!!!
Next time you post, tell people the steps u have tried, saves us writing a whole heap of ****e like below, prob why no one has answered u, and do search b4 post
goto the prophet section on main home page there are all the tools needed and guides to help you. Spend some time reading and follow the instructions or u will brick your phone.
Here are a few pointers:
Read the wiki section on prohpet roms.
check if ur jamin is G3 or G4 - very important!!!!!!!!!!!
before flashing, unplug all other usb devices from ur pc, btw u cannot flash if u are using windows vista, so use a pc with XP!
i sugguest putting on Jesterz AKU 2.2 first (in prophet section) - then hard reset.
If that fails and get connection error, try another usb port, i had to try 3 out of my 4 before it worked for me, dont ask me why.
Download hardspl and follow the guide!! do it wrong and u brick ur fone!!
enter in boot loader ur SPL should read like my signature, (G3 or G4)if it doesnt then hardspl did not work, do it again.
Download the wm6.1 of ur choice, look at Vincents one, i like them and pretty stable! There are a lot of older roms out there, so look around. I downloaded 5 and in the process of testing 2nd one to find one i like, see my sig.
If u fail, dont give up, try again and keep trying, but follow the guides and wiki and u will be fine.
remember, pppppp, prior preparation prevents piss poor performance

No search! Impossible. Theres a whole forum dedicated to flashing including WM 6.5. Looking through that forum there is even a sticky for noobs on flashing. I won't even post the link.
Heres the link to flashing! Start with this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
But seriously, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, its just that if you couldn't find that forum you probably shouldnt be trying to flash a ROM.
Welcome to forums
Read deeply the Wiki (Rhodium)
And here:

Hmmm...I smell a troll. Managed to find XDA forums to ask about ROMs but can't understand the concept of searching? Nah, I don't buy it, just a kid playing around.

Getting WM 6.5 shouldn't be this hard, SOS - I need help!
I'm having the same problem. . . . . I have flash my T-Mobile TP2 by following all the instructions posted by mskip. I have the multi color screen (red, green, blue white) with the following information:
RHOD210 32 SS- BC
SPL-0.85 OlinNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
505,527 807, 853
811,196 199,193
203,860 Calibrated
So my TP2 is flashed. . . . My phone still says 6.1 when re-started.
Now What? I know people are going to say download a rom from the Rhodium forms. . . . I have about 20 downloaded to my computer.
My question is how in the HELL do you put window' mobile 6.5 in the the TP2? I have read thru many threads however no one address the most simple of questions or perhaps I'm just not understanding a crital step in the update process.
Where do you find the rom to install wm 6.5? And how to get the rom on to the phone? Oh and please don't point to [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs) I have read that about 100 times.
If I find the correct rom, then what?
Is there a drag and drop process that I'm missing or do I have to reformat a file to RUU,NBH or EXE or somthing.
I have downloaded the CustomRUU, Rhodium-HardSPL and every version of wm 6.5 manilla type file I can find however I can't find the simple rom to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5
I'm so confused and fustratiated that I am going to sell my TP2 and go back to the EASY iPhone (Jail Breaking was soo easy) or Blackberry Bold.
Please HELP. . . . I don't want to have to junk a phone that I want to keep
so youve had the hardSPL part already done i see.
now pick a rom and open that zip or rar file
in there are two files, drag and drop them on your desktop
now connect your phone with activesync or devicecentre to your computer
and make sure your phone is and stays connected
now double click on the RUU file from within the zip/rar file and follow the on-screen directions.
thats it.
hope this was helpfull
OK, I have followed your intruction to the letter and I have made progress. . . . . however I while following to prompts on the program (The Update Utility) I got the following error message:
ERROR [240]: file open
The Update Utility can not open the requested field.
Please check your Update Utility.
And on another attempt I got the to the end and nothing happend.
The last prompt said the following:
PDA PHONE UPDATE UTILITY 3.27.4.3
Verify that you want to update the Rom version
From
Image version:
To
Image Version: 0.85.OliNex
Click next to proceed: Click Cancel to quit.
. . . . I hit the next button and nothing happens. I still have WM 6.1
What am I doing wrong or am I missing a crital step?
Seems like I need the program to recognize the rom some how or mabe I'm way off.
I really do appreciate your help!
If you are using the CustomRUU.exe that comes with HardSPL, you cannot flash ROMs with it. That CustomRUU.exe is specially made for flashing HardSPL, and won't flash other stuff.
Try downloading this ROM (it's the one I use on my device, it's in my signature), and once it's downloaded, extract it using 7-zip/Universal Extractor/WinRAR or any other RAR unizipping utility. Ensure the directory that you extract the RAR file to has no other .NBH files in it. Now, run CustomRUU.exe (the one that comes in the RAR file) and follow the directions. Keep in mind that when it says what Image Version you are updating to in CustomRUU.exe, it should NOT say 0.85.OliNex.
Now, if that still doesn't work, try transferring RHODIMG.nbh to any MicroSD card (ensure it's formatted to FAT32), putting the microSD card back into the device, and manually go into the bootloader (Hold Volume-Down and the Power button). Follow the instructions, flash the ROM, soft reset (or yank out the battery) when it's completely finished, and congratulations, you're running Windows Mobile 6.5!
Hi fellas:
I just bot a used Touch Pro 2 with 6.1 for the wife for xmus.
Is it possible to use the HTC Rom that is listed on the EU site on a US HTC and then try to put it on Roger's 3G/Edge in Canada?
Thanks!
ok...I guess not
Is there another ROM that I would have better luck with?
My carrier (Rogers Canada) says that the 3G I have will not work on their network because it is T-Mobilized. The Edge Network is working (slow) and now I'm worried that this may never work on 3G here.
I read there is a vanilla "unlocked" 6.5 ROM here. Is that what I should be shooting for?
If you hardspl your device then you can put any rom on it that you want. Search, read and learn in the rom section.
From what i understand is that you bought a Touch pro 2 with T-mobile rom installed. So what you need to do is look in the rom section and read the flashing for noobs guide. Then pick a rom and flash. I think you will like the |R|6.5.3|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 28011/21885 ★Dec 25★ Sense 2.1/Titanium. After you've flashed your T-mobile rom will be gone. Good luck

Hi guys. Becouse much people in thread [DFT][Updated!#2] HSPL / RSPL for HTC WP7 First Generation do not know, how to downgrade SPL to be able HSPL using, we can resume all known ways here. But, I have no all devices, post confirmations, please. I have got >=1 confirmations from all next mehods, but, use it carefully, it is on your own risc. For any devices no JTAG/XTC method is possible to restore factory state!
1. Two-stage way (worked for any devices only, but for all SPL states including "small" and "big" halfbrick).
Using official update parts.
Description .. in progress.
Links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361577,
Google Translated Unbrick Manual.
2. ROMUpdateUtility way (worked for any devices only, for equal brand/region only, not for halfbricked, but PC USB connection is needed only).
EDIT: ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY METHOD NR. 2. It is really, that this method can work only on any device, but more devices may be fullbricked!
Using original ROM parts (Thanks to Ansar).
Description .. in progress.
Links:
Google translated from WMMania.cz
EDIT> Better way seems original SPL downgrading RUU only - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904
3. Full GoldCard (worked for all devices, all brand/region, for intacted SPL and "small" halfbrick only, but not for "big" halfbrick). You need Y-Cable (may be simplified - see picture - you nedd 2,5'' external disc usual additional power cable and very chip USB A/F-A/F junction only).
Using original ROM parts.
Description .. in progress.
One way only, which is for Trophy device fully confirmed.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359498
4. Simplified "like" GoldCard (worked for any devices, equal brand/region only, for intacted SPL and "small" halfbrick only, but not for "big" halfbrick). You need Y-Cable (may be simplified too), but you do not need second WM/Android/Linux device for CID reading.

Nice idea all in one thread. If you want, you can use my movie about that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uctenG08Fj8
Please clear up my mixed head.
I have a O2 Branded Htc 7 Pro. I am stuck on 7720.68
I cant restore any of my premango states and I cant boot to usb host mode anymore. (800b010a or 8018004D or...)
So there is no way to fix my bootloader at the moment right? Official Updates from Zune (HTC Updates or 7740) dont work either. However I have the possibility to use the cab sender togo to 7740, but that is the only cab that works this way.
Help me please what can I do?
After Mango halfbrick
Hi kaemen. Have you tried http://htc7pro.howto.cz/O2ODEHTGoldHTCOEMUpdate2011.cab posting by cab sender? If success, you can downgrade SPL by GoldCard. But, it is for your risc, cca 1% of flashing results fullbrick.
Google translate page http://htc7pro.howto.cz/Unbrick/UnbrickCesky.htm or see all my posts in HSPL XDA thread. Martin
this is seriously bugging me now.
I dont have backup before 7720,
i dont have y cable or anything
spl is at 5.1
now can anyone simplify what needs to be done?
I dont understand why this is so complicated for everyone. I have a HTC Mozart on DFT 7720 and i can easily downgrade by restoring to a stock Pre-Mango ROM. Just plug in the device while holding the volume key to get the multi color screen and then run the RRU Rom .exe and there you go.
Im probably missing something here arnt I?
I get an error 80180048
Too danger

It is not so simply. This method can work, see point 2 from my first post. But, 1. it is not working on halfbricked device, 2. it can fullbrick phone in any combination of RUU-Device-Brand-SPL5.x.
Better way seems original SPL downgrading RUU only - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904
the post written by OP is seriously confusing. "any device only"?? what does that even mean? if it were to say "some device" or "certain devices ony" it would have made more sense. right now im just to baffled by the sentences to even try any of the listed solutions.

This article is a year old, from the time of the first WP7 generation. Also, several people promised linguistic correction and no one did it. I am not able to write english right myself, this is translated with Google help. But, enough people used it successfully last year. Many recent articles is there now on XDA. I writed here first posts about halfbrick solution possibility without special hardware and about SPL downgrade too. But, they are very old, you can find many recent and better posts here.
