I found this with the search option.... can someone check this....
Its written for the Tytn and not for the Vario II, i'm not sure but i thought that the english Vario II has a 1.06 bootloader!! Then you are stuck, beacause the file who degrade your bootloader to 1.04 isnt availleble anymore. Maybe one of the guys here can share it with you?!
================================================== ====
- Take the battery out of your TyTN and leave it out several minutes
- Disable USB-connection in Active-Sync
- Reboot your Computer
- Replace the battery and put your TyTN in the bootloader
- Try to load the ROM found here:
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Himalaya/Rom%20qtek2020%2023-3-2005/RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping.exe
- Keep trying till you get just past the erasing part, then you will get an error-message and are asked to reset your device with the stylus
- Reset your phone and put it back in the bootloader mode
- Install any Hermes ROM you like, no matter what CID if you have bootloader 1.04

The radio doesn’t work:mad: , no GSM, no cid and no imei. The pda is working good.

Can you attach a USB monitor capture of what happens when you try to:
a) flash a rom
b) flash a radio rom

Do both things starting from bootloader and with activesync disabled.

[pimmmm]

I have the same problem
My PDA keeps comming back in the bootloader screen.
When 1 try to update (its a unlockes pda), the upload stops at 1%
Is there a way to erease the PDA ?

Thanks

I have the same problem

I have the same questions.

Can't do anyithing if you don't attach a USB capture of the process. See this page for instructions: common upgrade problems (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems)

HI!

Thank You for your answer. I made yours tip, but not was good.
First I to try smarty77 tip. I used RUU120_172125_Qtek_WWE_R11400_Shipping. Its function. After I’d like rom upgrade. This doesn’t was good (invalid vendor).

Second I to try clearing with mtty.exe.
The situation same, the phone doesn’t work.

Sorry my bad English.

Just seen your capture but it's not good.. you made a "basic" capture which shows nothing important, please repeat the process again, but this time read point 6:

In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".

I cannot help unless I have a complete capture to see the problem.

@lacika:

When checking the seclevel (task 32 bootloader command) your phone replies:
CID: Wait interpreter timeout.
Level=FF

After that when checking the CID with 'info 2' your phone replies:

HTCS...?\0.?f..|HTCE

This should be something like T-MOB001 if you have a Vario II from UK, so the CID is screwed.

I can see from the output of 'info 3' that you're running bootloader 1.06.

Then you try to flash the 1.18.255.3 ROM from HTC, which has CID "QTEK_001", you won't be able to flash this image in your device with bootloader 1.06, even if the CID was not screwed you will always get an error (you need bootloader 1.04 to bypass CID checking, and you are in 1.06), the error you're getting from bootloader is:

CID not allow (255)

As you said you can use the PDA (WinCE boots) what I suggest is buying imei-check unlocker (you need activesync working too for running the imei-check unlocker), because it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 and patch your radio... probably it can fix your device, at least it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.04. If after running the unlocker your device doesn't work I suggest that you try to flash a radio ROM, you can find them here:

Let me know how it goes :)

Err... I forgot that your IMEI is also screewed, probably imei-check unlocker will not work on your Hermes even if you provide them the right IMEI, because it will not be able to read the IMEI from your phone (will get the wait interpreter timeout too...). anyway... it costs 20GBP, give it a try!

Hi and thanks!
I’ve got one question. I use imei-check unlocker after I’ll got 1.04 bootloader?

Lacika

[shark1]

I tried that with my device before it got sent to service, I brought imei-check unlocker but as my imei was also corrupt it will not work, so I would not waste GDP 20 if you have corrupt imei.

They will not refund either becuase its your problem the imei is corrupt.

[pof]

I use imei-check unlocker after I’ll got 1.04 bootloader?
No, imei-check unlocker will downgrade your bootloader, BUT as shark1 says, it will not work because your IMEI is corrupted and it will not be able to read it.

I guess the best would be to send the unit to the repair centre then...

Hi!

I had the same problem! Send it to orange assistance.

You can't, and your imei is screwed, the unlocker can't check it... so you should better send the unit to the repair centre as suggested.
