DEAD BRICK M3100 BACK ALIVE

---

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

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
kim

It's ok, it was original rom from M3100... no problem, no need to upload anything.
