hello I´ve recover my m3100 from a dead brick (after used of universal sim lock) to full working phone
Her is my way
1. I´ve first try flashing a windows mobil 5 rom from my qtek 2020 on the m3100 for 2-3 times
2. then I´ve flas it with the new rom from Cingular ther are using bootloader 1,06..... and IT COME BACK ALIVE....
and if you have a HTC HERMES Then you just find a rom with you phons cid her
"http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades"
BUT REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A ORANGE M3100 YOU CAN´T FLASH OTHER ROMS
BECAUST YOU HAVE TO USED A ORANGE CID ROM AND IS´T NOT OUT YET..
Good to hear That your device Is up now Congrat's , Wht if it's possible with human being
Why u've instal qtek 2020 on this hermes ?
I´ve just wanted to try somthing after 30 days looking at a £450 brick
@kimbay:
I have some questions for you, in order to understand how you fixed it and provide a "solution" for the others:
1) About the Qtek2020 flashing:
- Did the Himalaya flashing process did anything on the hermes?
- Where did the Himalaya flashing process stopped?
- What did you see on the Hermes screen?
- What error did you see on the Himalaya upgrade utility?
- Which rom did you exactly use? (post the ftp link of it please)
2) About your M3100
- Which CID does your hermes have? If it's a M3100 from UK, i guess it is ORANG001, right?
- Which ROM, radio rom and bootloader version did you have on your device when you fixed the problem?
If there's anything else I am missing and you think can be useful, please post it too...
Yes, please fill us in because I'm sitting on a brick'd TyTN
congrads on bringing it back to life
Moreover - does this imply any hope for those of us with Orange SPV M3100s that are stuck on the latest Cingular ROM with no Orange updater?
Hi POF
I do not know what the flash didt to my hermes but it seems on usb monitor like it slowly after trying to flash the old 2020 rom 2-3 times went further and further in to the program. the screen turn silver and read USB like on the 2020. Every time it just stop (frozz).
Then I just try the new cirguler rom.
yes my m3100 is a orange001 cid -bootloader 1,04
I don´t know what the original rom was I think it was on off the first orange releast I got it 20/7-2006
(Do you whant me to upload the zip file containing my windows 5 mobile ?)
P.S. now my problem is that I can´t unlock the phone because imei-unlock do not suport bootload 1,06
regards

It's ok, it was original rom from M3100... no problem, no need to upload anything.
If you have dead Hermes try to flash with Hermes_1.18.416.1_1.18.416.101_1.14.00.10_WWE_Ship.exe For me - it`s work.Regards
SPV M3100 Freez
Hello
I have A SPV M3100 anyoane write same ... for unlock and new freez in "Windows mobile"
when i put in 3 color and i see:
"Herm100
IPL-1.01
Herm100
SPL-1.04"
And when is in 3 color and connect to PC ActivSync get error cannot recognize this device
I tried to upgrade my imate jamin s200 to smart1_wm6_pp8mb. since the operation did not finished I unplugged the usb cable, therefore the machine didn't work and opening now. now some messages are appearing on the screen (IPL:2.15.0001; SPL 2.15.0001; GSM 02.19.21; OS:10.1.0.811)
i need your urgently help... How can i fix it this problem and upgrade my rom again?
Put your Jamin into bootloader mode (camera button hold+softreset with stylus), connect it via USB (not on a hub!!!!) with your PC and try to flash the last update of Qtek, Orange, iMate or something else you like! If your device booting after this correctly you can re-try the flash to WM6!
I switched yesterday many times between Qtek 2.20 Ger, Orange UK, O2 Ger nd smart1's clear WM6 and had no problems during this!
Thank you very much, could you plase upload here i cant find the last update ,
i''m waiting you..
i dont know what is my qtek last update How can i learn it?
When you want to know what ROM you have flashed to your device, go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information! Here you can find all information you need!
By the way: the latest Qtek update for the S200 is 2.20! You can find it trough Gooogle or the board search! Good luck!

Hi animelover,
Just a question...Do you use the OS extract tool to flash only the os without changing the IPL/SPL, or the roms that you wrote about have no IPL/SPL upgrade? I mean did you fash directly or you flashed only the extracted OS?
Thanks!
Well, despite all the step by step instructions that i tried to follow, i managed to get a G4 stuck on bootloader... Here's what happened:
Device:
Qtek 9100
IPL: 2.18.0001
SPL: 2.18.0001
SIM and CID locked to Optimus Carrier (Portugal)
1.- I connected the wizard to the pc and syncronized it trough activesync 4.5;
2.- I then copied and instaled, in this order, the files Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab to the phone memory;
3.- I powered the phone off and on again and let it syncronize with the pc;
4.- I instaled the new rom directly from the file "TouchNoEvil_4mb" that i got from the forum;
5.- Until 99% the progression bar was blue but then it became red and it gave a conection error on the pc;
6.- Now when i power it on it starts the bootloader and if i connect the usb cable it recognizes it on the bottom of the screen.
I think at this point the solution to start it up again, because it's cid locked, must be instaling the original carrier rom (Optimus Portugal) and then start all over again...
The only problem it's that i can't find the Optimus Portuguese original rom anywhere, so if somebody knows where to find it i'll be gratefull for the information.
Also if there's a solution to install a rom in bootloader mode to cid locked G4 (with wm6 and touch flo) i would be very thakfull.
All help is welcome, thanks in advance,
Hugo Costa
You didn't use SoftSPL/HardSPL before flashing WM6.
Get yourself the stock ROM (i.e. Qtek WM5) for your device, then use it to restore your original OS.
After that, install SoftSPL/HardSPL, then you can flash WM6.
Hi there. My main question is exactly that, will it take the Qtek WM5 original rom, being sim and cid locked???? I don't want to brick it....
Best regards,
Hugo Costa
If you afraid, you can use Typho5 to extract the nk.nbf inside the RUU package (You can decompress it by WinRAR) and see if it has 2 pairs of IPL and SPL. If it is, then the ROM can be flashed to a G4.
Ok, thank you, I'll give it a try and report...
Hello everybody.
I had installed "TouchFLO Charmer WM6_GER ver. 2.8 BETA by mschmitz" over an WM5 T-Mobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and everything worked great.
see link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142
Now i cooked my own ROM (Charmer WM6) with some improvements and correct working German Input methods.
see Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2075053#post2075053
As there are several "how-to" here but all are spread around this forum, i will try to give a checklist how you probably not kill your device.
Print this checklist and search the forum for the how-to's.
Prerequisitions:
If something goes wrong, be sure to have a ROM of your Phoneprovider (e.g. T-Mobile WM 5 AKU 2.2 for a T-Mobile device).
If you sdo not have an original ROM, you can use this one to flash back to WM5 (i used this, do not worry that it is english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe
Backup your data! All will be lost after upgrading, or if anything goes wrong. You can use Sprite Backup (the only tool that allows upgrading from different WM versions - eg. from WM5 to WM6 - but you wil loose SMS. Use PPCPIMBackup Freeware to backup SMS).
Always use the corrrect ROM (do not use e.g. a MDA III ROM on an MDA II)
I also recommend to delete your Active Sync Partnership after upgrade (Active Sync/File/Delete Mobile Device) and let Active Sync setup a new one (otherwise you may have problems with File sync, sometimes an error pops up).
If you have problems to sync with outlook, it might be a problem with the restored data of SPRITE BACKUP as WM5 has a different database than WM6.
In case you geet an error "Error 8007000e" or similar do the following:
1) Hard Reset
2) Do NOT connect to Active Sync !!!
3) Restore your personal data (If you use Sprite backup select Merge, Level 1 but do NOT select "Migration Data" whern you get the filetree)
4) On your PocketPC start the program "Active Sync" (still NOT connected to PC)!
5) Go to Menu/Options and DELETE the partnership (e.g. "Windows PC").
All Syncroniced data will be deleted on the PocketPC (Contacts, Appointments, etc..), but they are still available in OUTLOOK on your PC.
6) Thereafter delete your Partnership also on the PC (Active Sync - File/elete Mobile Device).
7) Now connect your PocketPC to the Desktop PC and the Outlook data will be syncronized again without error.
You can try to start at point 4) maybe you do not need a hardreset/backup again, try....
After upgrading you should always delete the partnerships....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the upgrading steps. Make sure to check them all!
1) Unlock your device (CID and SIM). You have to CID unlock your device, or otherwise you cannot install a ROM that is e.g. not T-Mobile on an T-Mobile MDA.
How?
First of all you have to check what device (G3 or G4) and what Bootloaderversion (IPL/SPL) 1.x or > 2.x you have.
SOFT reset your device and note the red numbers that come.
If you have something like
IPL: 1.12 (or 1.12.000)
SPL 1.12.0000
you have an G3 device.
If IPL or SPL ends with 1 (e.g. 1.12.0001), you have an G4 device.
(0 is G3, 1 is G4)
Now check the first number.
1.12.xx is an Bootloader version 1 and 2.12.xx is 2, and so on.
I had an G3/Bootloader V1.x device, so I CANNOT say if it works for other devices.
For a G3 device you have to use Lockiwiz2b to SIM/CID unlock your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474).
For a G4 device you have to use Lockiwiz3 to SIM/CID unlock (dont know if it works)
Its easier to unlock an 1.xx. device, so unlock before upgrading (even with an official ROM)
You will NOT loose your data as no HARD reset is necessary. Lockiwiz will not harm your system (if you do the right thing).
2) Now that you have CID unlocked your device, check your Bootloader Version. WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx) or higher!!.
So if you have e.g. IPL/SPL 1.12.xx, you first have to upgrade your device with a more recent WM5. I installed T-Mobile WM5 AKU 2.2 and thereafter i had 2.20.xx
3) WM6 cannot be installed over WM6 !!!
If you allready have a WM6 on your Charmer, DOWNGRADE to WM5, thereafter install the new or updated WM6!
4) Install ROM and enjoy.
If soething went wrong, you can save your device by going to Bootloader mode (push and hold camera button and reset with stylus. When you see the 3 colored Screen, release Camera Button. Then you are in bootloader mode and you can flash the original ROM vie your PC and ActiveSync (thats why you should have a WM5 ROM by the hand)
Summary:
1) Check what device you have (G3/G4)
2) Check what Bootloader Version you have (1.xx.xx or > 2.xx.xx)
3) Unlock CID (and SIM) with Lockiwiz02 (G3) or Lockiwiz03 (G4)
If this did not work, STOP here and forget it, nothing is lost until here! If your device is not CID unlocked you will kill your device with a "non vendor" ROM
4) If your bootloader (IPL/SIP) is 1.xx.xx, first upgrade to 2.xx.xx via an official WM5 ROM upgrade (or check XDA-Developers ROMs), otherwise device is dead
5) If you allready have an WM6 on your device, downgrade to WM5 first!
6) Install WM6 and enjoy.

You dont need to CID unlock the device to upgrade to WM6. In fact, CID unlocking works only on 1.xx bootloader, and once you've bought a device with 2.xx, you can't go back.
That's why, instead of cid unlocking, you can just use NO_ID RUU, which bypasses checking the VendorID in the flashing process. You can find it here: http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
Other than that, its a great thread. Making it sticky.
"WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx)!!."
Add: WM6 can be installed with an V3 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 3.x.xxx also

Hello amoor.
I also had Bootloader version 1 and simply used the official AKU 2.0 upgrade from T-Mobile from their homepage.
Thereafter it was Bootloader Version 2.
If you do not have an original ROM, you can use this WM5 (Do not worry that it is in english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe.
Thereafter you can upgrade to WM6.

hey, is there a known problem with the rar archive? i always get a crc error when i want to extract the os.nb file using "wm6" as pass

Hello,
I have WM6 to installt on my mda compact 2. How bekome I the language in German? Under regional Settings I Have German Others, but the language ist in english.
Thank you for your Answer.
The Menue is in english but the date was in german.??
Why don't you just install a German ROM by Ridingshark or Cyberdel. Then it will be German.
30.53 MB of storage -> OK - after UNhide -> ActiveSync Problem
Hello,
yes it works!!!! 30 MB storage - perfekt - Thank you.
Bevor UNhide 14 MB storage - but ActiveSync works perfect
After UNhide 30 MB storage - Active Sync dosen´t sync!!
Bevor and after unhide the same ROM (WM ROM 6.5 German (CTRLPDA))
all programs work fine BUT SYNC with ActiveSync dosen´t work.
ActiveSync tells me NO MEMORY on device?!?!? I can not sync any caleder or contacts!
Why?
Sorry for my bad english!!!
Greetings from Germany
seit1999
Who is CTRLPDA? Is it a forum member? We can't help you supporting ROMs not made in the forum cause we don't know the base then.
And what did you unhide? The extROM or what?
hi I am a new consumer and I have an orange spv m3100.. you excuse my English but I am Italian..
my problem is that this telephone always shows no gsm and there is no way to resolve it. if I try to put a radio it jams to the 0% I don't have guarantee the only possible thing it is flashiarlo it is the part of the operating system...
orange spv m3100
ipl 1.04
spl 2.10 olipro
no radio thk
uuuppp hheellpp me!!!
Try to flash the Shipped rom - the rom it originally came with. You can also try just the radio rom (I'd try after the shipped rom though). If these 2 things don't work then it is because the radio rom area of memory has been corrupted... Long story short, flash an os only rom on and you have a PDA you can use but you wont EVER be able to use as a phone again.... Sorry...
Make sure you have Hard SPL installed first as flashing the radio rom is the riskiest thing to do, & if you want any chance of recovery, you should have this installed...
Cheers...& good luck...
thanks for his/her answer even if I have understood few being Italian.... cmq I have already put above a hard spl and I don't succeed equally to perform the flash
