Urgent Help Needed Please! "No-Gsm" BRICKED?

i posted this in another thread but no one replied so thought this one mite be more busy.
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile MDA Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes.
i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04.
it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.

please help, at least let me know if Ive got a chance of repairing it

i believe if you can get it in to bootloader mode you can flash back to original rom and start over

i thought that to but when i tryed the t-mobile rom it said "connection error" and also said it should be connected through active sync. but then agen it mite of been the wrong t-mobile rom but im sure it was for the vario ii. do you have a link to the one i should try please?

i downloaded the official UK shiping rom from t-mobile site and upgrading now through bootloader. will report on what happens.....

nope, keep getting "device not responding" or "connection error". any other sugestions?

i looked on here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick and it says that i have to "Flash any type2 radio in NBF format. If that doesn’t work, flash the radio using HERMflasher" please could someone tell me how to do this, if this is the solution to my problem or if there is another way around this. thanks.

please help someone i realy need to fix my phone

Cool down....
what's ur radio version?
Also have u read this? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock - TRY THIS FIRST, before attempting anything else...

ok, i have tryed that "sim and cid unlocker" and i beleve that you have to connect with active-sync because when i tryed it when i was in boot loader it said that it was not connected but it was. i will get my radio version now.
EDIT: my radio version is: 0107
EDIT2: also, here are some other numbers (which i dont know what they mean but mite be needed) which apear on boot-up t-mobile splash screen, in red letters/numers, just before "no-gsm" flashes on:
M 05
S 04
B 06
D 1.21

If you can get into the Bootloader (Rainbow Screen) you should be okay (Not a Brick)
Go download a Radio Rom from the wiki.
Enter Bootloader first, then connect to PC. Then flash the Radio Rom.

Bricked Hermes when flashing rodio

Hi guys,
just seeing if anyone can help me.
I was updating my Radio when the program failed (pretty sure it was a bad USB connection)
at first I could only get to bootloader but i managed to bypass it with help on the wiki.
Now it loads to the windows splash screen and stays there.
I'm running IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10.Olipro
I was in the process of completing resetting the phone with another ROM but I got stuck at the radio part and now my phone is screwed.
Can anyone help me out?

Sure, there is thread on reviving bricked Hermes devices here and solution to common bricking problems here. Hope it will help you ressurect the device.

Help me please with my cingular 8125!!

HELLO,
I'M A NEW USER OF THIS FORUM
i HAVE BOUGHT A CINGULAR 8125
WHEN I TURN IT ON IT LOOKS BLOCKED ON THE BOOT LOADER SCREEN
THERE IT IS WRITTEN
IPL 3.08
SPL 2.G4.4PDA
ACTIVESYNC DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT SO I TRIED IN THE USB MODE TO FLASH A NEW ROM BUT NOT WORKING
WHAT I COULD DO WITH IT?
HELP ME PLEASE

It looks like you've got a G4 device. Read the flashing guide in the upgrading section about how to flash your device. Looks like someone tried to flash a custom rom already and bricked it. Can you get your money back?

Thank you for the answer i will lok in that section
the seller said that the phone was good when he shipped to me but i'm not sure
if i will not solve the problem i think i will go with a legal advice

Usually when you brick a G4 it won't even power on anymore. That's how mine acted when I flashed a G3 ROM to it. If it shows the boot loader screen, you should be able to bring it back by following the instructions on how to flash a G4. A section on recovering is in there.

Don't know what CID Lock is on phone - how to figure out

Hi all,
I have a iMate SP3 here that I'm trying to get working for a coworker. Long story short they did this once before and I re-flashed it with some ROM (no clue which one) to get it working. Well, they broke it again and it's at the bootloader screen.
Problem is, I have no clue what CID lock is on the phone. The SPL is 1.01.0107 and I can't really find any mention of it. The phone doesn't boot any further than the bootloader screen and needs to be flashed, but I'm not sure with what. So far it's rejected all the ROMs I've tried.
Info 2 in MTTY gives me the output below:
HTCSCDL___01 4š«@HTCE
Can anyone tell me what I can flash this phone with to get something booting on it again? Thanks

please visit ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
choose the appropriate rom for you

[Q] Please Help! HTC Touch elf wont turn on.

I updated the original ROM to wm 6.1, cause the old one was Spanish. After this it worked for 30 minutes, but then it made re-start every 5 minutes. Turned it off, but cannot turn it on again. The first screen with Vodafone comes up, then it shuts down again. I can enter bootloader tricolor mode, but there is no RUU on the right corner, just two version numbers on the left side. Please help! Tried soft and hard reset, didnt work.

what it shows on boot loader mode ???????
don't worry just unlock and update spl , ipl
and then flash with any good rom ( not official rom )
i would suggest u to flash with onyx_6_release13 .
best of luck .

How do I unlock it, if it wont turn on, a cannot connect it to my PC?
I will make a screeshot from the bootloader screen.
Thank you in advance.

Ok, now it works. Used the method of dsixda. Worked fine.
