Softbank ROM update - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi there,
I already searched for similar problems and haven't found here, that's why I created this thread.
I'm in Japan using a X01ht pre-December 06 and missed to update the ROM shipped by Softbank at the end of last year. Now I need to use data connection and want to get the update but don't want to send my phone to Softbank, so anyone of you could send me the file to update or tell me another method? Another issue, my phone is SIM unlocked by Pof's unlocker but not CID unlocked, because I don't want to void the warranty at the moment. I intend to CID unlock it in the future when moving out of Japan, in this case, if I use SB's uptaded ROM it won't interfere, right?
Cheers,
GG

No need to CID unlock. Check it.

Ok, but where to get the ROM or ExtRom to get my data connection back? tks

Unlock works, now get me a rom update

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Upgrade 900/1900
Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

cid unlock

Hey all
I just did the sim unlock and it work perfectly. Thanks!
But my question is what is this CID? and what does it unlock? What can I do
that to my phone if I run the unlock?
Thanks in advance
CID unlock will unlock the rom,
so you can update your rom with others than the official ones from the network provider you bought the phone from.
I would suggest doing this even if you plan on upgradeing to another rom from your same provider, b/c once you upgrade to a 2.x rom it becomes harder to do... (and once done it is permanent...)
What ROM upgrade would be suggested? I have a T- Mobile MDA primarly using Suncom network. And were would I find suggested ROM upgrade?
Get the 2.26 from the T-Mobile site.
How do you suggest getting the update off the TMobile site if I do not have a TMobile phone number which they request for the download. Is there somewhere else to get it or another way to get it. I also looked on the Suncom site for updates for the I Mate K Jam but there was none.

white softbank x01ht

Hello everyone.
Japan just released a new version of x01ht, white in color. Does anyone know if this is sim / cid locked? anyway to unlock it using the tool in the wiki.
Thanks a lot
I saw it in one shop, and all I know it has new ROM version, 1.33.761.5... Hmmmm...
there is no reason for them to release an unlocked softbank phone.
Anyone know the bootloader version?
I've heard that it is > 1.09
i have a Softbank X01ht in white color, but how can i see the bootloader version?
Check Wiki, damn it!!! (Under "Hacks & Tweaks" and "How to Hardreset and/or Enter into Bootloader")
Don't forget to check radio and OS versions...
my white x01ht's bootloader version is 1.09,
OS 5.1.195,
ROM version 1.33.761.5
radio version 1.14.01.10
so, any unlockable method?
thanks a lot...
Yes... here...
There is already a store selling the unlocked version of new "While" X01HT with very expensive price. I am sure the store owner is one of the member here.
X01HT ROM Version 1.33.761.5
I need to know a definite "Yes" or "No" if the X01HT with ROM Version 1.33.761.5 can be unlocked and if so, how do I proceed to doing so? I recently tried upgrading my unit's OS which was running and older version of Windows Mobile to the latest but it went brick on me so I took it in to Softbank and they fixed it but it came back with the current 1.33.761.5 and the Japanese Windows Mobile OS. Help!

Where is this store?!?
Where?
Yes. I too would like to know where this store is and if it's in the Tokyo area. Also, I don't need to buy a unit since I already have one but rather would like to just get it unlocked and have the language changed from the default Japanese to English. There was one place in Tokyo that I used to take all my phones to get them unlocked but that company is no longer in business. If anyone has any "specific" information on where one can go to get this done, then please include the details. Thanks.
blacksamurai, i'll be getting mine next week from Softbank. If pof could come up with a new version of the unlocker that can unlock the new white X01HT that I'll be getting, then I'll help you unlock yours after that - alright?
I can help you for free
black samurai, I can teach how to change to english your X01HT and unlocked. email me at [email protected]
Thanks!
auyongtc and junulrik thanks a lot for wanting to help. I just need to be certain that it's the ROM Version 1.33.761.5 and NOT the ROM Version 1.33.761.4 that you can help me unlock and have the language changed. Word is, the 1.33.761.5 can't yet be unlocked. However, if you are certain you are able to do it, then I'd greatly appreciate your help. The Reason I'm so cautious is because as I mentioned, I had to take it back to Softbank to get it reset and they gave me a knowing look like, "Yeah. We know what you were trying to do!"
New info anyone?
Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have any updates about the unlocking X01HT's ROM Version 1.33.761.5? Junulrik, I don't know if you received my email I sent you. Perhaps it ended up in your "Junk Mail." In any case, you can email me at [email protected] anytime.
Buy unlocked X01ht in Tokyo
I plan to buy Softbank X01ht unlocked, any information where i can buy this x01ht unlocked version in tokyo?

UNLOCKING - the easy guide

Hi everyone.
I have an Orange SPV M700 with WM6, Tengo Free and Tom Tom v6. All working nicely, thanks to all the help on this forum!!
I have one last problem, i have ordered a t-mobile PAYG sim card so i need to unlock my phone for it to work.
I have read the big thread about the CID unlocker and seems some people have been having problems with it uncluding myslef.
Can anyway give me the download that will work or a link to it??? I just want to to able to use t-mobile sim in my phone, but don't want to give orange £20 for privelage.
Cheers a lot guys.
As far as I've been lead to believe once you've flashed the WM6 you should be sim unlocked. That may (assuming I'm correct) be why you've had problems CID unlocking after updating as you're already unlocked.
To upgrade to WM^ i used the three files at the top pf the related thread. Not sure if any of those CID unlocked. Tried a virgin mobiel sim in it and didn't work?
Some phones won't unlock the SIM even with CID Unlockers. HTC, O2 and Voda tend to be unlocked by default; Orange and T-Mobile phones are supplied SIM locked.
I've done the WM6/Radio update and my SPV M700 remains SIM locked to Orange.
I think the only effective way over this is to pay £20 to IMEICheck for a full SuperCID Unlock. Their service is superb if you are willing to pay the price!
Download this and follow the instructions (1 step really) ... http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
Mine is an Orange M700, was SIM and CID locked with original Orange ROM. Ran the above unlocker and could use any SIM on Orangae ROM. Then updated with WM6 and new radio ROM and the phone is still SIM unlocked and SuperCID unlocked. No need to pay any money for this simple thing.

Cool- I'd missed that one! Know he did one for the Hermes
One thing to watch if you are paranoid about Warranties, is that this version works by updating the Radio ROM, which technically is a warranty breach (though as most Orange Techs are so ignorant about these devices, they'd probably not know anyway!)
nice am goin to give it a try
Hi
Check the link on my signature - has SIM-unlocked my Orange UK SPV M700.

You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.
