HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a ---------------------------------------------------------------------
No warranties of any kind are given. Any commercial usage prohibited.
This is a patched radio ROM that can be used to remove the Operator
SIM lock and CID lock from HTC Hermes based telephones. It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, this includes the following:
HTC TyTN / O2 XDA trion / T-Mobile MDA Vario II / Vodafone 1605 VPA Compact III
Orange SPV M3100 / Dopod CHT 9000 / Dopod 838 Pro / hTc Z / Qtek 9600
iMate JasJam / Cingular 8525 / Swissom XPA v1605 / SoftBank X01HT / Vodafone PDA 1605
Warning: It is only intended for use on these devices. If you run this upgrade on any other
device than HTC Hermes, you will most probably render it DEAD!
Disclaimer:
This is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict,
fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. It may invalidate
your warranty. Full caution is advised.
Donations:
I spent some time and money developing the free unlocker, there's no need to pay me
for that, but donations are always appreciated.
You can find a paypal button to donate on the unlocker website: http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Thanks to:
* buzz_lightyear, itsme, vijay555, arc, Asukal, machinagod, esteve - for the wise advice and support
* Des and Olipro - for SSPL and HardSPL.
* everyone else in xda-developers.com
History:
v3a - New RUU will make sure HardSPL-1.40 is installed before flashing the radio
Now the unlocking process is faster & safer
Fixed bug where IPL was downgraded to 1.00
v3 - Herm_Unlock_v3.exe now allows you to select SIM / CID unlock separately
Thanks to SSPL it can be used in all bootloader versions
Patched radio is now provided in NBH format
It keeps the current bootloader on phone (does not downgrade SPL).
v2a - bugfix release, thanks to all who reported the problems!
(hopefully) fixed bug where unlock code has to be entered manually
(hopefully) fixed bug where SuperCID was not kept after rom upgrades in some cases
v2 - updated to patched radio 1.16
unlocking software provided (HERM_Unlock_v2.exe): thanks buzz for the source of UNI_Unlock_v1
SuperCID is now kept after rom upgrades
v1 - patched radio 1.13
