today a customer came in and had a MDA from T-Mobile UK it was a herm300
this looks the same as the cingular 8525 (herm100) only red.
it needs to be unlocked, the sim unlock program works on this model? ive unlocked several 8525s.
another thing, the phone is in german. how do i switch it to english?
i went into the setings and changed the regional settings to english but it didnt do anything.
thanks for your help

you need to flash it with an english ROM...
to unlock it... just look at the top of this forum for the Hermes Unlocker by pof...
No, no english ROM necessary. Unlocking DOES work, use POFs unlocker. I did it wth a german T-Mobile MDA Vario II (aka TyTN, aka HERM300). Regards.

i buy a T-mobile MDA Vario II.if i unlock my MDA Vario II by http://www.imei-check.co.uk,is the CID at the same time unlock？can i flash the ipl/spl ？or it means just network unlock？thx for answer！
by the way,my mda vario ii is germany version.
I think imei-check does just SIM/Network unlock for the Hermes, but not CID: your CID will remain the same.

No, it is for the HTC Wizard and cannot be used in the Hermes.
Worked fine for me
They unlocked my Vario 2 in 5 minutes, worth every penny.
can i flash my germany version MDA Vario II an english t-mobil rom?or without ipl/spl only OS and radio?
i want to pay for unlock by http://www.imei-check.co.uk ,but i have no creditcard and only an account on paypal.de and only transfer euro into my paypal account.does anyone know,how i pay euro by paypal.de for unlock?
I can't understand why you would unlock a Vario II. Surely T-mobile's Web 'n' Walk on its HSPDA network is best for this phone?
The logical thing to do is to get the much more sexy-looking Orange SPV M3100 and unlock it so you can use your T-mobile SIM in it

A new english ROM for the Hermes has been uploaded to XDA-Developers ftp:
version: 1.21.116.4
radio: 1.05.02.00
CID: T-MOB007
BootLoader: 1.06
language: WWE
Download link and ROM details posted on the wiki shipped complete updates page.
ruu_hermes_tmhu_1.21.116.4_1.05.02.00_wwe_ship.exe
Please note this is from T-Mobile Hungary (CID T-MOB007) and not from T-Mobile UK, and it has bootloader 1.06 on it.
Thanks to the person who uploaded it!
Enjoy!
Hungarian ROM in the UK
Bought my vario 2 on e-bay and it did not come with a CD I have called up T-mobile and they wont give me one. When I switch on my phone it says "test only not for sale"...I basically looking to reinstall the t-mobile uk rom hoping that it will removed this message but can not find it anywhere. Is this Hungarian ROM going to work on a uk phone ? Are the GPRS & 3G settings the same ?
I am clueless any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
I guess you got a preproduction hermes version with a super cid and 300mhz processor...just look in the hermes wifi in preproduction section...and you will get all of ur answer....
Hi,
Has anyone tried to install this ROM yet? Is it in English?
Thanks
Msuk
Yea did someone already test this ROM ??
It should be in English, given that it has WWE in its title.
Very interesting. The very first T-Mobile Hungary ROM that has ever hit the internets.
(T-Mo Hu never releases ROMs... if you want an upgrade, you have to take it to the service and let them do it... they still sell their Wizards with AKU 1.1.1 ROMs)
Update works
Updated my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario II (2).
Took some time, first made Super CID and SIM lock free.
After upgrade the regional settings are indeed Hungarian but the ROM itself is English.
Thanks Y'all!
I've just updated my (I think is the right term) rom using
RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.
Now the installation was fine but some of the original setting on the t-mobile rom are missing, like the quick launch 'running program' button on the screen, the 3g connection symbol as well as a few quick launch icon that use to be at the top of the main screen ' web & walk , contacts, notes. These have all disappeared, is there a way of getting the t-mobile vario 2 setting back or at least a way of configuring the keys to how it was with t-mobile. I think what i've currently got is the HTC original rom hence the HTC logo when I now turn the phone on.
just wondered how this rom compares to "HTC South Africa Version: 1.35.255.2" ??

hello again
can u confirm to me if i have a tmobile ameo from germany will i be able to see english languge on the menu ?
if not can i take the tmobile uk rom of the ameo and just replace it or it will not work ?
thanks
I can just answer your first question: No, only German language on a German Ameo.
As for using different ROMs, no idea.
thanks but any one can answer about the rom ?
please ?
At the moment you shouldn't be able to swap ROMs without changing the CID which AFAIK isn't currently possible. The issue is that these ROMs should have different country codes and without unlocking the CID of your phone you can't upgrade with some other vendor's ROM. Please correct me if I am wrong!
t-mobile ameo
thanks for now i hold my things
I'm not shure but try this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302039
hi @all,
can someone help me with my problem, have a T-Mobile(Austria) Ameo and have tested some of the ROM from here.
Black Projekt Rom: perfekt work and veryvery nice but its in english and the videocall doesn´t work
Original HTC x7500 ROM: works perfekt - i have tested the german and the english version - but no videocall
T-Mobile German ROM - Works perfekt but i have Vodafone A1 and the 128/96 dpi mode dont work
The reason why i need an German Vodafone(in Austria its calles A1) ROM is, that my Sim card is from A1 and this Rom would have all the settings and also Videocall.
Have anyone an ideo where i could get this ROM?
thx
mat
Hi there,....
question:
Why is video call not available ? Do you have the button but it doesnt work
or is just the buttom not available...
Anyway,.. if it just the "Video Call" button that did not appear then
look for the RealVGA settings and play with the "disable phone skin".
Uncheck this and let the device reboot...
With my german ROM RealVGA replaces the "Phone" skin and there is no
video bottun... (nice if you dont what to do videocalls at all)
if you check/uncheck (i dont know anymore exactly) then
the phone uses the original skin and the bottun is back.
So maybe it not the ROM... just a setting.
I am also using HTC ROM with my Ameo so this should also work with yours. Nothing to do with ROM...
Helpful ??? If not come back with "better" explanation of your problem.
No I onyl can assume what your problem is...
Good luck
Hi, i do not own a Ameo, but if i get one (T-Mobile, A1,..) is it then possible to flash X7500 ROMs to Ameo? Is it possible to CID-unlock the Ameo to flash any ROM i like?
Is a T-Mob Ameo restricted to a T-Mob Rom?

Hasn't this been answered in another thread? Why the cross posting?
Hi,
Ameo is an exclusive product for T-Mobile, it's not available from vodafone -> there is no ameo rom for vodafone available.
AFAIK the Ameo itself is locked and not the rom software, so it should (no guarantee) work, if you use the unlocked ameo with a t-mobile rom and a vodafone SIM card.
Regards
Andreas
ameo can be unlocked using the unlocker avialable on here. My ameo is unlocked, and using a vodafone sim perfectly

Hi all,
sorry if this Thread allready exists but i have tried looking all over for it and i cant find anything about it!!!
I just recently purchased a Orange SPV M3100 which i understand it is known as the Hermes but with the stupid Orange Branding
and i was wandering if someone could help me or point me into the right direction of debranding it so i could but wm5 or preferably wm6!
please help!
thanks
westie277!
Hello westie,
use the search funktion for "unlocking" and "ROM" here in the Hermes section.
You will find Threads to unlock your device and you will find available ROMs to flash your Hermes.
For example this:
unlock
Schaps ROM 4.20
or search this part of the forum
hi eightball
thank you for that but soon after posting that poped up
could u explain exacly what the 'CID' is??
sorry but im new too this!
thanks
westie277
I'm in the same boat here.
Won an auction for an Orange SPV M3100 on ebay, and plan to use it with Three Uk sim card, and if poss debranding it would be good.
If you flash your HTC Hermes will it still retain all functionality included in the branded rom?!

It will retain the functionality that is not dependant on provider's apps. So it means that settings for Orange MMS, Orange theme with Orange today plugin will be gone. This can however be installed back (you can download those files in extracted EXT ROMS part of Hermes wiki).
Free Hermes unlocker will unlock the Hermes for other carriers too. It can be found in Hermes upgrading forum.

So for example if I install Black Satin WM6 upgrade, will I have all functionality such as video calling, internet (3G & Wifi), mms, camera etc all working as intended with the phones original WM5 Orange branded rom?
The unlocking part sounds easy enough, I downloaded Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a I read the instructions whch say connect via activesync and run the '.bat' file. Should this take long? Should have the phone by Thursday hopefully so would like to know what to do in advance so I can get it ready for my 3 Uk sim.
