Hi,
I am a SoftBank X01HT user. Recently a rom update was released and I applied it.
ftp://210.136.175.150/F1_RUU/RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
After update the bootloader version changed to 1.09, so I downgraded the bootloader to 1.04 and it seems to be successful (I confirmed it in bootloader mode screen). Then I installed the DoCoMo version shipped rom of following versions.
ROM Version: 1.23.731.2
Radio Version: 1.06.00.10
Bootloader: 1.04
Language: JPN (Japanese)
CID: DOCOM801
The installation finished successfully, but the radio version is 1.14!!
ROM Version:1.23.731.2
Radio Version:1.14.00.10
I tried to upgrade radio to 1.20 but in vain. I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it seemed to work correctly till 99% (however it shows ERROR 114 finally).
After soft reset, I found that the radio version was still 1.14.00.10.
What's the matter? Anyone can help please?
Best regards,

In addition I tried this rom with bootloader 1.09 and radio 1.18.00.10.
ftp://xda:[email protected][1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
The radio rom was not upgraded to 1.18, it remains 1.14.
very weird... can you attach a usb-monitor capture when trying to flash another rom? see the wiki (upgrading problems) for instructions on how to use usb-monitor.
pof, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1068511&postcount=35
might be due to the new SoftBank ROM sold since December?
Even they http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php couldn't do it:
The Unlocker it will NOT WORK with Japanase Softbank devices with SPL1.09 and radio 1.14.00.10 sold after 1st December 2006. To check your spl just put the phone in bootloader :hold the [OK] button (from the left side of the phone where the volume button is) and the [power on] button and in same time press the [reset] hole (near to the charger connector -- use stylus to press it!) and you can see IPL and SPL
Radio version can be checked from Start->Settings->System->Device Information:Radio Version.
If you buy the unlocker and claim that your phone is a 1.09 we will NOT refund you. We don't know when we will release a new update or IF we will release one!!!

Yes, I think the new softbank device has the radio area "read only" somehow, that makes impossible to patch the radio in order to SIM/CID unlock. However I would like to see a USB Monitor capture of the process when trying to flash a radio rom on it, to see exactly what the bootloader returns. If anyone can attach it, it would be great

Would be an explaination but uedam said he is stuck on 1.14.0.1 since he installed the new X01HT ROM. This implies he had another version before - so it seems that the read only effect isn't caused by the hardware but by the ROM and can't be removed by flashing another ROM (at the moment).
Perhaps there is a hidden command executed when the ROM is flashed. Something that write-protects a range in memory. But I have no explaination why the process runs until 99%.
Someone has to log the USB traffic when flashing the new ROM.
By the way: I'm not willing to test this on my own device

pof,
I installed usbmon and tried radio rom 1.20 upgrade again (it also failed...)
Here is the log files exported from usbmon. I hope it will help to solve the problem.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/usbmonlog.zip
Sorry, the file was too large to attach to this post.
p.s. If you need further information, please let me know.
Thanks uedam, the process seems to be the same like in every other device. The only "minor" strange thing is that when flashing a 0x10000 byte block at address 0x6d0000 you get a failure the first time, then the RUU does an 'rerase' of this memory portion, tries again and gets a success, and follows with the radio flashing process. But I think this has nothing to do with the problem we're facing here.

Yes, before upgrade I unlocked my X01HT and used with DoCoMo rom. The radio version was 1.06.00.10.
I uploaded the USB traffic log and please view the file. Does the same thing occur when writing another rom? or this is the first case?

Hmmm, would it make sense to have him log the full-upgrade process - presumably the "locking" happened when he did the RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
and hopefully it would happen even if Radio 1.14 were already on the system when he re-did the full upgrade.....

Hey uedam, nice work dude!
I've had a quick look and seems a normal upgrade to me, I see nothing related to the write-locking of the radio, but will look at it more deeply later, in case I skipped something important.
However I extracted GSM.nb from softbank 1.33.761.4 ROM and GSM.nb from HTC 1.18.416.1ROM which both should be radio 1.14.00.10 but the files are different, so I guess the locking is done in the radio itself (??).

pof, it sounds quite interesting. Softbank built the special version of 1.14.00.10 radio?
So, if possible, we cook new rom which includes radio rom same as HTC 1.18.416.1 rom then the person who has 1st version of X01HT can upgrade it safely?

If it is impossible, the person who has contract with softbank will have much trouble. Because they have to upgrade their devices till 1st of April in order to use internet connection. Softbank announced that we would not be able to connect to the net without upgrading to new rom.

Where is this announced? My understanding is that it is not possible to use "Direct Internet" if you don't have the latest ROM but you can still access the internet via normal packet communication - it's more expensive though.

Sorry, my explanation was not correct. You are right. Thanks.
I have done the upgrade and everything went fine. After the upgrade it ran to extended rom configs and they went fine. My phone is no longer showing that it is connecting to 3G. All I have is the E logo on top. I am in my office and it is a 3g area, I was connecting 3G before the upgrade.
I have reinstalled the PTT .cab, and Hard Reset after it etc... Still the same.
I was going to upgrade my radio from 1.33 to 1.34 this morning, but when I ran that installer it told me that it was the wrong country??? Should I keep my radio 1.33? anyone know whats going on with this?
Thanks.

Maybe try putting SPL 1.09 on it then running the RUU Shipped Radio ROM 1.27 from Germany.
OK< I tried what you said. My phone is SPL 1.09. So I ran the 1.27 RUU. I got the same kind of error.
ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update.

Before loading another radio on it. just make sure it's the icon that is just not showing the correct connection, as some radios do... Check mspeed from your phone's browser for your actual connection speed... http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed

Good point. MT_PC_Hermes_PTT_REG_070129.CAB fixes the icon settings in the new Cing ROM.
Just ran a speed test... 207kbit/sec...
You might also just go to the \extended_rom via totalcommander or other filemanager and execute autorun.exe or at least the cab that corrects the 3g/u/e icons MT_PC_Hermes_PTT_REG_070129.CAB
A lot of people have found that for some reason after upgrading via mfg package to the 2.06 cingular rom, that the entire entended_rom did not run; even if they did not stop it after the upgrade. It looked like it loaded to most people, but they did not have the useless icons like telenav, mobiTV, etc..
OK, so something strange happened... I went to run POF's unlocker again. I ran it, but all of a sudden a ROM image begins to load? It looked like it was reloading the cingular image I loaded yesterday. Just than I get called into a meeting, when I get back, my phone is sitting there, looking the same as I left it before doing anything EXCEPT I have a G Icon now. Great, so I just checked the settings...
ROM Version 2.06.502.3
RADIO Version 1.16.00.00 ?????????????????????
Should I keep this radio or uupgrade it to a newer one, and if you think a newoer one than which should I try?

I think the consensus is that 1.27 is best until/if GPS ever works.
WAIT!, Lat time I checked your sig, did you not have Radio 1.34? Now I see you are on 1.27. Did you downgrade for a reason? I started the 1.34 upgrade just before you posted. What are the differences between 1.27 and 1.34?

So I started the 1.34 radio upgrade, click update, phone reloads into blotloader, goes to upgrading radio stack please wait... PC shows Stage 1: Upgrading Radio, BUT it just sits there at 0% than errors out.

What is you Radio BL 107 or 108?
I had access to two separate 8525's. One had 1.34 and the other had 1.27 (BL0107). The 8525 I keep and use daily is on 1.27 with BL 0107. I am waiting for further NBH flashing directions before changing both devices to BL 0108.
When it goes into Botloader mode, it sais SPL 1.09, Where else do I find the bootloader version?

To access the radio bootloader for that, but the command to do this (rtask a) has been removed in SPL-1.09.
If you downgrade the SPL to 1.04, you can see it using radio bootloader command "rversion":
Code:
USB>rtask a
Enter Radio Bootloader
rversion

Gromet, this is normal behavour. Pofs unlocker flashes a hacked radio rom (1.16.00.00). Once device restarts, you need to copy the unlocker exe file (included in pof's unlocker zip) to your device, and then execute it on the device. I guess the exe that you run on the device interacts with the hacked radio to unlock the device somehow.
Once thats done, you'll get a 'success' message. Now you can download the shipped rom 1.27.00.00. Since your device is now superCID you can just exec the exe in the shipped rom directly to upgrade the radio from 1.16 to 1.27
Just make sure that you kill activesync before playing about with any rom flashing - it gets in the way.
Nigel
So yeah....
I did everything for PoF's Unlocker, and I GOT the SUCCESS message... but now I cant get any version of a radio upgrade to run. If activesync is on, It starts the upgrade and never gets past 0%, if activesync is off, i error out even before it ever starts the upgrade.

I don't have much to add other than, 'me too'--but eventually the upgrade worked. I Ran POF's unlocker and chose supercid as well. But couldn't get past that 0% with the 1.27.00.00 radio upgrade.
I'm at:
IPL - 1.00
SPL - 1.04
While typing up this message I decided to try again and type up the error verbosely.
Sure enough the sixth try was the charm.

So, excuse my ignorance, but are we now saying that we can upgrade the radio roms listed without ending up with the 1.08 bootloader, or alternatively that 1.08 no longer causes a problem?

ok guys and girls. I just put in a request to have my phone replaced because of screen issues. I have SuperCID unlocked my phone, and have the XDA live running on it right now with radio version 1.27. What do i need to do to make it looked like the phone has never been messed with?
I just don't want them to call me back and give me @#$% about it.
Thanx for the help.
how about flash the rom it came with
You can flash the original ROM version and language. But the SuperCID stays. Unlikely that they'd spot this unless they examine the phone deeply.
I sent a SuperCID'ed and SIM unlocked Cingular 8125 in for replacement about 7 months ago and it was replaced without question. I know they're different devices, but that's my experience.
k thanx for the help guys
hey im sending my device in with screen issues as well, and i have the 1.34 radio is there any way to get it back to the 1.16 radio it came with. i tried to flash it back but it never starts upgrading
I handed in my bricked JASJAM a couple of days ago for "warranty repair". No word yet whether the warranty will cover this or I will have to pay the MB swap.
SSPL Tool will work for this.

You should not have to worry about the CID, but it might be better if you flash the old ROM and radio. SSPL is the way to go if you can't flash it back to what is was.
Yeah, hopefully SuperCID isn't a problem, but it would be nice to have a way to reverse it some time in the future, especially now that Des's SSPL makes it redundant for most people.

Des SSPL uses spl 1.09 which does not have 'rtask' command, so you must use a radio upgrade in NBH format, not in NBF as you're probably using now.

The price seems to vary a bit depending on the country. A couple of guys on the dead hermes thread have done it. This post shows that the prices charged by HTC America and HTC Europe vary significantly.
just to ask, if i use the aku 2.3, radio 1.16 rom full update from the wiki site, will it change everything back for me or will i have to use the sspl program? I just want to make it look like verything is fine.
I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Dopod chinese ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.10_Only_SSPL.rarThis radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and no GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Note: Same radio GPS enabled (from trinity) is available here
Enjoy!
Thanks pof!
Flashing now...
EDIT- Flashed 100% ok, now using with full network reception.
Will post again if there's any probs.
is it have problems when i flash this radio to my x10HT?
no, there is nothing at all special about the x10HT folks...
personally, I recommend everyone uses this one instead of the trinity radio simply because we can't have GPS anyway and for the power you're wasting on non-working chip, it's pointless.
just wanted to say thanks. i had the newest trinity rom installed earlier and this has better battery life.
thanks a lot pof
I think I'll give this one a try... Thanks!
Given my device is SuperCID, does it make sense to apply the Hard-SPL still?
I have HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11 but I install this new radio because the previous one spent the battery to me very fast.
moving over to this, no point having the gps enabled deal!
Completely agree, until we can get the GPS on the hermes working (which is unlikely due to bricking risk) there really is no need for us to have the GPS rom from the trin.
pof! thanks man I also had the gps 11 version and i figured why not go with the 10 version as well since we wont get GPS anytime soon, i will test for a few days and report back...
Removed the Trinity 1.38 radio very quickly but initial impressions of this native Hermes ROM are far more favourable.
Not had it installed long enough to get an impression of battery life yet but reception and stability seem good so far.

138.0 rom
bl106
spl 104
used that trick 109 spl to upgrade had no problems
I was on 1.38 with gps but have now changed over to this version, I wish it was posted first it would have been a lot easier, but I know it is just one of those things.
I will report back if there are any issues with it.
Flashing now, we'll see what happens... thanks, pof!
EDIT: Flashed. So far, no issues
About to flash, but ...
Sorry for off-topic - just curios if anyone is flashing from within VMware.
Pain in the butt to reboot to XP every day now ;-)
Flashed successfully. Thanks!!!
r u sure about the file when i tried to upgrade it shows radio version 1.18.0.10

Not sure about VMware, but I've done all my 'flashing' using Parallels and I haven't (touch wood) had any issues

I had heaps of problems before, I just reflashed the original ROM and all was working well again, The radio version that come with the ROM is old.
Then I followed this guide
And updated to Hard-SPL v7 fine
Then I got to the Radio update step, I tried the radio it said (1.43)
It got to 7% and failed,
Then I tried 1.48 and 1.50
The same happened.
Why can't I update my Radio? Is there a trick or something you guys use?/
I tried it the SD card way and Its the Same.
Thanks.
Can a pro please explain how and what they used to get their PDA from its original state to having a cooked OS and a working Radio?

That guide works 99% of the time. There is really only a small handful of possibilities:
1) You did not follow the guide exactly
2) The file you got for radio is corrupt (unlikely since you tried multiple files)
3) Your connection is unstable (unlikely since SD card method fails)
Hmm... Try the bricked hermes thread - is a sticky in the Hermes forum. It is long, but you may find something. It seems to me that the 7% hang on radio happens from time to time - but I am not sure if there is a standard fix. Maybe try the google search in my signature - use terms like hermes radio 7% brick or something. I am sure it is fixable. You got HardSPL to load properly, right? So your bootloader screen shows SPL version 2.10 Olipro or something like that?
The interesting thing is that you got it back to oringinal ROM & radio... You are using the latest Custom_RUU to do all the work. Makes me wonder if it is a CID problem, although I don't think you would even get to 7%, you would just get an immediate failure.
You could use MTTY to restore the radio back to factory I beleive..
You might also need to make sure your device is CID unlocked..
Thanks for the help guys
I updated to HardSPL-v7 and that went fine, it read IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.Olipro afterwards,
Then I attempted to update the radio and it failed, I followed the guide exactly.
Then I tried the SD way, the same.
Now. I'm doing the SIM and CID unlocker v3a by pof (Did it the SD way) and the IPL update completed with OK, The SPL went OK to, but the radio failed so i did a reset now I going to run that unlocker program and see if it succeeds,
then I will run the Factory ROM and restore it to how it was, then I will update to the Black Satin Cooked ROM, and I'll just have to stick with the old radio until I find a new method that might work.
Whats the go with the downgrading to bootloader 1.04 like it says in the wiki everywhere, what will that do that will help the radio update that the newest bootloader can't?

If the CID unlocker runs fine, try the radio again. There is no reason that a new one would not work, if the older one works routinely.
The downgrade stuff is for people who want to return it to it's near-exact shipped condition - usually for warranty or sale purposes.
So, I ran the original factory rom
I did it via the SD card, as it is a lot more useful this way.
Heres the Results:
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -
OS-

please mind the ranting....
WTF WHY THE F##K DID IT STOP AT GSM AGAIN FFS!
you can obviosly see why I'm pissed, its acting up like the radio is a BANK VAULT with 8" STEEL. I just can't flash it at all, but for some reason I have ran this ROM a while back and had no problems, so there must be a way
Did you run the CID unlocker successfully?
Have you used MTTY before? You may want to do that.
Had you successfully flashed back to the old ROM before?

It seems like it - so the SAME ROM will not work now either?
I ran the newest dopod wm6 rom which was only the OS, some splash screens and the EXTROM, and to my amazement the GSM worked, the Radio and IMEI reappeared in the device information, but after a soft reset its gone again. it seems the GSM is still there but I can't touch it at all.
When I did the SIM and SuperCID unlocker it gets to the hacked GSM and fails,
but after a reset, I ran the tool and ticked bot options. then it said Success!
How can I check to see if it worked.
My bootloader is 1.40.Olipro (the one the SIM and CID unlocker downgraded me to)

You can use mtty to see if the supercid process worked. The Hermes Wiki - in particular THIS SECION will be very helpful.
Yep its definitely SuperCID,
still reading through pages looking
I spent HOURS messing with **** on my phone, downgrading bootloaders, trying different ROMs, Stuffing with every command I could find for MTTY and anything else imaginable.
I got the radio to update, but its still stuffed
I added this to the Wiki because it works:
METHOD 2
Also, Ive found that Hard-Reseting the device restores GSM.
1. Remove the battery
2. wait 10 second
3. Re-insert Battery
4. Turn the device on
5. Watch for "NO GSM" on boot
6. if you see it. Return to step 1. (sometimes you have to do it up to 20 times)
If you see two lines of text flash up instead of 'No GSM' it means the GSM is functioning. For me this restored my radio in just 4 tries.
This ONLY works if your radio is NOT corrupted, but if you tried to updgrade and stalled between 0% and 15% of the GSM upgrade, it depends on the radio version you were trying to flash. But it's worth a try, the only downside is if your phone crashes, it will more than likely boot up with 'No GSM' so you'll have to do all over again.

I did what the last post said, had it booted with my radio working, and then I ran the RUU for the GSM 1.50.00.00 radio upgrade. and THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE, AFTER ALL THAT STUPID STALLING ON 0 and 7%, it UPGRADED!!!!!
I have exactly teh same situation here.... my device is SUPERCID and its stalls on GSM upgrade every time
I already tried like 10 different versions of radio bootloader updates and none of them worked for me !!! It always stalls at 11% or 7%
MMTY output
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x830E7601
SPL CRC checksum = 0x921BC30
CE CRC checksum = 0x26BC961C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xE7056FB7
Radio Image CRC checksum = Checksum: Wait interpreter timeout
0x0
Can somebody help ? I am sure there is a way to flash the new radio version !!!
There is a defenitite fault in RADIO ROM and I wish I should have never tried to upgrade to 1.50.0 . Last coule of days have been a nightmare for me. I read the entire foruma and stil could not find a solution to my problem.

sure i've done it too many times, atleast after the 7nth time i've stopped counting but still i have no GSM .
any help is much appreciated folks .
WBR
Also whatever ROM i install after it starts for the first time it starts to customize and install oem apps it stops while customizing at the theme part i don't know why but it did .
do a "checkimage" in MTTY, if your radio is corrupt then that method wont work, also about the updates stalling, do task 28 in MTTY, then reboot
MMTY output
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x830E7601
SPL CRC checksum = 0x921BC30
CE CRC checksum = 0x26BC961C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xE7056FB7
Radio Image CRC checksum = Checksum: Wait interpreter timeout
0x0
So is the radio corrupt ?
What is task 28 ? WIKI SAYS - Format DOC - What is DOC ? Is it related to RADIO ROM ?
