Usim Lock Help!!!!!

[ayers478]

First off the phone has a japanese rom on it, does anyone here know how to take of the USIM lock, so that an english rom can be flashed onto the phone. Problem is the phone locks up almost as soon as u turn it on. If you turn it on without a sim card then You can unlock it with 000 and it will call 911 but with a sim card the only way it will unlock is if you have an incoming phone call if someone can HELP me please!!! 1

You need to post some more details. Hermes will boot to OS normally without any SIM card at all - even if network locked.

Is it freezing in Windows or freezing at the turn on screen or before that stage?
Are you booting into Windows successfully?
Is this the device lock set to time out after zero seconds?
Have you tried a hard reset to "cure" the problem (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset) ?
