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?

Hi all,
I just bought a second Hermes (my first sometimes won't detect the SIM, takes forever to come on from powersave, and is scratched to hell ). I'd like to use the old one to hack on. Is there any way to tweak WM5 so that it will operate without a SIM card inserted? Right now when I start it up without the SIM it boots and I see the 'Today' screen for a second, and then it jumps into the phone app and I can't exit it.
Any help appreciated.
I should add that I've SIM unlocked the device but that doesn't seem to help. Thanks again.
Solved it There's no 'x', but if you hit 'Clear' it drops back to Today.
When i boot up the phone, it shows the please input your pin code thing..but then continues booting anyways? It used to allow me to put my pin code in first? Whats going on, and how do i fix it so it allows me to put in the pin before it boots?!
Same problem here.
Me too.
The quick and dirty fix I found is to remove the PIN request and set a phone lock code instead. The phone will always wait for the lock code on startup. The good thing with this is it locks the phone without regards to what SIM card you use. (You can call you SP and request a SIM card disable, right, but not a phone lock)
You can set a timeout for the lock. Additionally, whenever you connect the phone to a new computer it will lock the phone. Good anti-theft mechanism, but I'm sure it's easy to remove if you really want to.
I think it's a generic problem on this phone. I just push the call button again to get the PIN dialog up once more.
sad to hear this is a common problem as it poses a security threat..unless you take other measures. but inputting 2 passwords is quite annoying..ill just wait i guess... does anyone else have problems also that when on 3G the phone appears switched off if someone were to call and it doesnt connect properly?
i have htc hero on tmobile uk
it shows airplane mode when i slide down it comes to tmobile logo n freezes . i dont know whats the fault
can anyone help
i have tried to a master reset by pressing power n back key
any other way
First, is the SIM in correctly? I know it sounds stupid, but it happens often. The little metal basket needs to slide 'back' after putting the sim in to lock it in place.
After trying that, is the phone SIM locked? If so, that might explain the airplane symbol, but not the freeze.
Let me know if the SIM is in fully, and if possible try another SIM on T-Mobile (or another network if that's all you have)
yes sim is in correctly thats 1 thing i thought as well but tried with sim cards n still same . possibly sim tray is faulty . any other suggestions

hello all
a big problem ,my htc hd2 is blocked on lock screen with this message : sim card is locked ..no way to unlock this screen....i can't manage to unlock this ...i have tried many roms and hard reset no way ...it's impossible to unlock the locker screen to enter pin code...

That sounds more like the sim not the phone. If you forgot the sim pin, ask your operator for a new sim
no it's not rhe sim ...i tried this sim on another phone and no prob ...it works fine
Maybe it's the Digitalizer..

Call your provider. It sounds like you need a different kind of sim card for this phone.
