How to unlock HTC Desire HD? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy, is there any 100% way to unlock this phone?

Yes. But you need to meet a certain prerequisite.
i.e,
HTC Firmware <= 2.37

Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Read first post and Q&A in the second post, there are links to downgrading your rom and tools for rooting.
Alternatively you can try this AllInOne tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315.

So this Radio S-OFF tool is for unlocking?

Yes, but only part of unlocking. Not all of it. First you need downgrade, then Radio S-OFF, and finally Eng S-OFF.

Thank you. Is there a tutorials for downgrade?
I have Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050.

Is there a code for simlock check? Like Galaxy Ace.. *#7465625#

I see that my phone is already S-OFF (ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF)
Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050, BUILD GRI40
I tried this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315
But i dont now how tu use it =) What must i do first?
First i got this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

Then this:

Okay, please do check again the steps provided. You may have missed something. Do you have reapplied temp and permroot using visionary? Most people forgot that rooting is required again after flashing stock 1.32. 2nd, check the radio s-off status, cid state, pc software requirement and other stated in the radio s-off guide. Btw, what's your current radio?

hi,
yes of course you can try for remote unlocking method either through the network provider or 3rd parties such as Theunlockarena.com/htc-desire-hd/rs13wp9/ to unlock your HTC desire HD.its simple process.they'll do unlock remotely and after that give you instructions to follow.you just need to do is give your model,network,IMEI number to them that's all..

yes i also followed the same procedure n got everything right.... First radio s - off then Eng off and also the super CID but for some reason i still cant use other networks.... any ideas what i am doing wrong... or any suggestions.. thnx. or any other method of unlocking the sim,,

are you sure about you did s-off and eng-off?
go into your bootloader and make sure it says "eng s-off" at the top..
Yeah eng s is off. I managed to flash the ROM just not the radio with that error.

you tried with FASTBOOT COMMANDER tool?
While you solve the problem with the sdk it can help you
edit::::::but IF YOU DON´T HAVE (like Mr_JMM & me said to you) THE S-OFF AND ENG OFF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SDK, IS YOUR DEVICE
I've double checked and it is off. The thing is when I open ask manager the command prompt dialog flashes and nothing happens again. I downloaded the bootloader interface driver. Where can I get the fastboot commander from?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Sorry to labour this point, but what method did you check you have radio s-off?
Also, and again, I apologise for the simplistic question but sometimes it's easy to miss something, have you got the phone in Fastboot screen or HBOOT (Bootloader)?
Hi guys I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realise that eng s and radio s are two different things. My bootloader just says ace pvt s off. I tried the eng s off tool I successfully flashed the radio. I had radio s off due to rooting previously. Thanks for your help guys. And I would like to apologise for the inconvenience. Mods please close this thread.

No Need To Downgrade 2.13.401.2 anymore, HTCDEV released latest version

Good news for you guys having updated latest FOTA and lost unlocked bootloader. If downgrading did not work out for you, visit htcdev.com.
They released an official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked.
Also do wish me luck, bc latest FOTA bricked my device. Maybe I can revive it this way.
But nevertheless, no need to downgrade anymore.
To upgrade to 2.13.401.3 do i have to go back to stock recovery or does it work with cwm or goldcard ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App
I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with upgrading to 2.13.401.3.
This is just for telling people already having 2.13.401.3, that they now can unlock the bootloader with a HTCDEV RUU
Yes i know it, but i downloaded the ruu update.exe because i don't received the fota and i read somewhere on xda that we have to go back to stock recovery for update.
yes, that's right. but this is the wrong place for your question.
Sorry i just realise it now, i forgot you update via fota
yap..I just opened a website htcdev, there is no more 2.13.401.2

read title from theq86 this is news about official RUU for the latest firmware to be unlocked, so theres no need to downgrade if you want to unlock bl (if you're on 2.13.401.3)
In addition: there is only hboot file in the RUU-update That means that our phones will be always unlockable after flashing every next ROM update from HTC. No more outdated RADIO.

You are wrong. RUU checks software number by comparison to the number from misc partition which is r-w accessible after shell root. Here is tutorial to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388.

Huh, that's funny. If you listen to some people around here, HTC is a giant corporate gorilla that doesn't care about its peon customers or listen to them at all. They were never going to unlock the Wildfire S bootloader in the first place, and then after they did, they killed us with an RUU that relocks it just to torment us, and they were never going to solve that problem for us either.
Thanks HTC for listening to your customers... AGAIN!

[Q] Stock A510e updating main version is older error

I'm currently running 2.35 on my WFS and I want to reflash my ROM because I have the dialler error and can't seem to fix it. The phone is unrooted, uneverything. It's stock. I tried updating with the RUU and get error 140. When I use the SD method I get the 'main version is older' error. Any tips?

becaue the hboot only update by RUU,your hboot1.080099 is very high,so you need found one hboot 1.080099 or even higher 1.090099 and flash it.

ahh sorry. didn't realise I had to go through HTCDEV to update my bootloader. So my boot loader is now at 1.090099. I can't post this in simonsutiltiy thread(because I don't have 10 posts yet) but I'm getting stuck when it tries booting into recovery mode. The phone just goes to the red triangle and stops doing anything. I pulled that battery and it's still locked.
Do I even have to unlock it? Or can I just reflash the 2.13 rom?
Ok. New update and I could use some help. My bootloader is now unlocked and on 1.090099 on ROM 2.13. But I still can't update to ROM 2.14 or ref lash ROM 2.13. The RUU gives me the error 155. I went through USB fastboot but still the same error. Could anybody else help me?
You simply Unlock the Bootloader, and again reset HBoot using Supervision(I hope so), Then flash out the RUU file. But the only problm s it will be relocked again, then u need to proceed to unlock(if uy need to break rules) means>>>>>

i agree. what hboot r ya? if 0.93 - 1.02 then revolutionary will do it in 5 mins (ish), s-off &rooted.
Sent from my HTC Desire
ended up unplugging battery...mini bricked, booted to bootloader, flashed rom again MW5, a lot of FC's.....ended up with NIKEZ P11, works flawlessy...still 0.80 hboot that's why need AL 1.80 install, will just use cd version...
or is any option to upgrade HBOOT to 0.93?
Use official 2.3 HTC RUU, it will upgrade hboot to 1.02.0001 and you can then use revolutionary.
BTW. What ROM you had installed when you were trying to S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
u can get 2.3 upgrade in my sig
Sent from my HTC Desire
i had NIKEZ P11.....hehe
Sigh, you didnt read any guide or instructions didnt you?
It even says on the alpharev webpage:
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that was the reason you got stuck.
You have to use ROM without any A2SD scripts, like stock / cm7.
geeze
so my options are:
HTC Desire 2.3 GB Upgrade From HTCDev
REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF
NEW ROM, NIKEZ P11 back
right?
Ye, and read the revolutionary FAQ first.

Its the HBoot and FW you have. As I'm remembering firewater doesn't work with this version jet.
Sadly your only option is sunshine. If I remember correctly sunshine was created by the same devs as firewater so don't count on an updated firewater to fix this for you. Also sunshine costs 25 dollars, just a little fyi. Good luck with S-OFF!

So this thread implies that Sunshine is proven to work on a phone with 3.18 hboot and obviously taken an OTA? I'd heard somewhere that wasn't confirmed yet.

It doesn't imply. But as it check if it's really gonna work and firewater definitely doesn't it's the best try you got.
By the way. You just have to pay if it is gonna work and all checks the tool runs are positive.
Hit "Thanks"if I was of any help.

Firewater won't work. It requires an online server component, that was taken offline 4 years ago.
If you want s-off, you need to pay for sunshine.
But s-off is only needed for limited things (changing CID/MID, manually flashing hboot, radio, etc.). S-off is not needed to root or flash custom ROMs.
Make sure you actually need s-off, before you waste too much time trying to s-off!

Are you trying to get LTE? Just flashing firmware, may not accomplish that. Again, just trying to make sure you don't spend money on sunshine s-off, for no good reason.
Also, you should tread carefully, as flashing the wrong firmware to certain M8 versions can brick the phone.
If you want us to take a closer look, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, tell us which 3G and LTE bands your local carrier uses.
