Softbank X01T/Toshiba G900

[nukenuky]

Hi,

I'm using an Himalaya (XDA O2II). I'm going to buy a Softbank X01T (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=769) or Toshiba G900 (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=707) from Japan. They actually are the same with different brand names.

They are the next generation of Softbank X01HT - HTC Hermes 200 (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=651)

I have some questions:

- Are they considered as Hermes?
- Is there any English ROM for it yet? The one I'm going to buy should be in Japanese
- Do you think the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker which works on X01HT will work on X01T/Toshiba G900?

Hope anyone can help to answer

Thanks a lot

Its not made by HTC, so no way is it a Hermes. The next generation of the Hermes is the E-monster (Kaiser) put out by e-mobile. I wouldn't think any of the unlocking options for the Hermes would work on the X01T, so don't expect them to work. Flashing a Hermes ROM could most likely brick the X01T, so I wouldn't recommend you try.

Why Softbank? Check out the E-Mobile Kaiser ( https://store.emobile.jp/spec_emonster.php ) much more fun, I'm sure!!

Try this forum for a start for info on the X01T anyway: http://mobgad.ath.cx/modules/xhnewbb/index.php

There's been ONE guy out there that has successfully flashed his Japanese Softbank X01T ROM to English. The link is here. http://myg900.com/index.php?showtopic=700

But be careful. I bricked 2 X01T's following his instructions. I'd just get a pimped out 3G phone in English or an unlocked G900. Don't get an X01T. It'll save you hundreds of bucks.

Thanks hamster0914 and flint24 for your info. I prefer to buy an unlocked G900 in English. Do you know where I can buy 1 in Japan? I've searched http://www.expansys.jp/, but it's strange that they stop selling it

that's ok in my country INDONESIA there was many people use SOFTBANK X01HT, and sucsesfully unlock...^^

[nukenuky]

Were the phones unlocked by the dealers or the manufacturer or by the buyers?

X01T and X01HT are two completely different phones.

Could any one help to advise please? My friend is in Japan, but he doesn't know where to buy 1 and take it to Vietnam for me.

Try Yahoo Japan auctions. I saw one on there the other day for about 40000 yen.

If u buy a new ver X01HT may be u can not unlock by SuperCID and u will pay ~35$ for IMEI unlock at VN, the new one in VN ~300-350$

I too have successfully changed to an English rom on the X01T (Toshiba G900) and so have a few others. (Thanks to other people's hard work)
However, finding out the Softbank internet modem connection settings to get back on the internet isn't so easy, although the rest of the phone works fine.

I am a mobile phone seller.

I have stock for X01T Softbank black color.

I am able to mail it to your friend in Japan or Vietnam.
