Hello all. I am a complete novice at Android phones. I have a Desire HD which I bought from a friend about 18 months ago who had installed CyanogenMod on the phone. I am now moving to Giffgaff and need to unlock the phone. I got an unlock code based on the IMEI and when I enter it, despite it saying network lock successful, the sim continues as unregistered and each time I reset the phone it asks me for the Network Unlock code again. I am told it is because of Cyanogen and I need to go back to the start.
Here is all the info I have:
Android Version : 2.3.7
Kernel Version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : CyanogenMod 7.1.0-DesireHD
Build Number: GWK74
I have tried to follow a number of guides on this site but something always goes wrong and if I am honest I don't really get what I'm doing. I downloaded an .exe from StockRoms and that looked like it was going well but then died at the end with no specific errors.
Can anybody point me in the right directions as to how to achieve this?
Thanks!

I don't know - sorry - how do I know if I am S-OFF.
I think i have an unlocked Bootloader - I have ROM Manager that has been booted into recovery mode a few times while I've been trying these things. Again how can I know for sure though?

Boot in hboot and find it out....power off the device and then boot by pressing power + volume down
Sorry I could have googled how to do that before posting - my apologies!
It says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Am guessing this means I am not S-OFF?
I did see this screen before when I tried to use the Simlock feature. It says this when runs:
FAT32 init OK
OPEN MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
Of course the process is not done.

With an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash a RUU. Besides you need a RUU for your device and not any RUU. If not, you will need a goldcard.

Is it possible to lock my bootloader? Is that a stupid question?
I have found the "right" RUU here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Is there anything I need to do to make this work? S-OFF maybe?

Yes, it is possible to lock your bootloader. S-Off is no longer available; AAHK, the tool to get it, was retired this morning.
Thanks all, I sense that this could be tricky overall.
Perhaps a different approach is needed - is there another way to Sim Unlock the phone?

Yes you can flash a custom rom, your bootloader is unlocked...
You can't put any other sim card, than whats your service provicer now...
Find index thread, there you have all tutorials on how to flash stuff on your phone, good luck and wellcome
No, it isn't rooted
You're not rooted and you could s-off if you want because it gives you more benefits plus its very simple and didn't take more than 5 minutes

No SIM. As stated at the start, the handset is CDMA. I have not read in the forums how one can achieve S-OFF without getting the Clip. Please explain how it is done. Thanks.

unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked. it doesn't mean you ARE rooted, but it does mean you CAN root.
quick and easy way - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432074
Following links above, I finally achieved S-OFF and then rooted the handset. Since then, installed BusyBox and Titanium Pro. By deleting some bloatware and by freezing widgets and apps I'm unsure of, and moving all possible apps to SD-card memory, I've been able to free up 58 - 60 mb of internal memory.
It's now quite a useful handset!
if the smartphone is s-off now you have to install the root file... I mean root.zip going in recovery menu by pressing vol - and power... the root.zip file is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
another possibility is to installa a coocked ROM such as CyanogenMod
Thanks for all the useful info. The handset now is S-off and rooted.
My handset is Wildfire S CDMA, A510c, VirginMobil USA. As I look for ROMs I might wish to attempt to flash, I see many - most - are for "Marvel." My handset is "Marvelc."
From reading the threads, I get the idea "Marvel" and "Marvelc" are not compatible. Is this correct?
Again, thanks!

Hi there !
I would like to S-OFF or unlock bootloader of my Orange FR branded WFS. HTCdevs method does note seem to work, ROM or bootloader is too wreid and not supported by official orange hboot updater from htcdevs. After some tricks (goldcard I guess), I succeed in installing "Europe hboot" from htcdevs, but it doesn't help in any way : fastboot oem command returns an error 1, command error . Hboot might be too old to know these commands.
By searching on XDA, I found a tool called temproot that allows me to root the phone until I reboot it.
my HBoot version is 0.90.0000 and radio 7.53.39.03M.
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
HTC drivers, andro SDK, Java, debuging mode,... are probably ok. I use Windows 7x64 and Linux Mint.
I think I said everything. If you want more details or explainations, I'll do my best to answer preciselly, even if I'm a noob .
Thanks !

The unlockable European HBOOT is version 1.08.0099, so I take this to mean that you successfully updated to a generic EU HBOOT (0.90.0000) which is not unlockable, but can be updated to 1.08.0099. Thus,

So you need to go back to htcdev and update your HBOOT to the unlockable one. When you do, HBOOT will show:

Thanks for (very) fast answer and making me realize that I successfuly downgraded my HBoot (that's what I was searching to do).
I believed that it should allow me to upgrade with unlockable HBoot too, but I forgot to say that when I try to update HBOOT the way htcdev tells using their HTC_EU-1.09.0099 / ORANGE_FR-1.09.0099 / Any 1.08.0099 HBoot, I get an error 191, my ROM is NOT up to date. I have no ROM update possible with my f****** provider custom ROM. Is it possible to change this ROM to the official HTC ROM (using my temp rooting and adb shell or I don't know what), so that I can get last updates, flash HBoot with HTC_EU-1.09.0099 and get custom ROM (such as CM7.2) ?
Or I am thinking wrong on the way it works (probably the case : I learned everything alone) ?
Edit : I believe that this would have worked, if the given link weren't dead.......... Uploading website are all closed. That's a shame.
Thank you,
KennyG9
Try this:
1. Run the RUU...exe for updating the HBOOT again but don't try to update. Instead, find the temporary folder it created to extract the files needed for the install. It will look something like C:\Users\[LoginName]\AppData\Local\Temp\{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}.
2. In one of the subfolders, find rom_02.zip from and copy it to another location on your hard drive. Rename it PG76IMG.zip. You can close the RUU wizard now.
3. Move PG76IMG.zip to the root folder of your Goldcard.
4. Boot the phone into HBOOT (turn it off, pull the battery for 5 sec. and replace it, hold down volume and press the power button). Once in HBOOT, the phone will find PG76IMG.zip and try to install it. Follow the directions on the screen.
5. Do a factory reset and reboot.

software s-off????
After spending 3 days trying to upgrade my hboot so i could unlock my bootloader, i somehow ended up with s-off! here are the steps i followed.
1) try updates from htcdev - didnt work
2) made goldcard, tried updates - didnt work
3) gained temp root using adb and zergrush, worked
4) hex edited the rom version number - didnt work
5) placed rom_2 on sd card - worked, sort of, updated the radio, but not the bootloader, "cannot rollback hboot"
6) placed rom_1 on sd card -worked, updated the radio
7) went into hboot to try to flash rom_2 again, voila! s-off!!!!
dont ask me if this is a way to s-off devices without xtc clip, all i know is it is what has worked for me, so i thought i would share.

Hello again
short story
unlocked my bootloader via htc dev, tried every effort but couldnt install recovery on it.
its on 3.13.161.5 and the hboot is .0027
i somehow relock its bootloader thinking to unlock again and then proceed with root privilidge via ahc but failed
each time i tried to push via adb, it comes with err: verifying signature failed etc
cant flash cwm or any other via fastboot
i have nand of my other dhd (on orange)
can i use the nand( of orange) to revert back to stock and then unlock bootloader and flash recovery...?
or
how do i upgrade to .0029 from .0027 Hboot
Simple question but i cant find answer, may be mixed with things, just need some direction to point out...!

I mean back to stock without facing issues with bootloader unlocked
Or if I can upgrade my bootloader
My concern is to flash Rom
The mistake u made causing all this mess is I choose relocked option from ahkit
But it does not shows any on screen message to select relock
However my observation is its only a single thing I am missing
After relock I tried to unlock but err failed message
Can fastboot flash recovery either
And additionally can't proceed with anything other then receiving error signature failed
Some one please direct me towards right direction.....

So after following 18 guides on trying to unlock my phone, I think I bricked it *gets stuck at HTC screen*
The current state I am in is, I have Clockwork mod installed and I can still get into the Hboot, but it says my device is an Ace... i'm not sure why. Anyway I was getting frustrated and I think I formatted my /system on my phone. What can I do to get it back or restore my phone?
- I have access to CWM and Hboot
Thank you for your help.
What have you done?

It's more like what haven't I done.
The latest things I did was use Clockwork Mod and I formatted everything including my /system/ folder. I did this because I was fed up and my root attempts had broken my WiFi so I wanted to get back to square 1 and try again.
Can I restore an original ROM and get rid of Clockwork Mod, if all I can really access right now is Hboot and Clockwork mod?
Formatting system does not go back to square one. Did you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev? If so, did you relock? Did you try to S-Off, and if so, with AAHK? AAHK2? Manually? Did you root? Did you flash a recovery other than CWM? Did you flash the right version? Those things could all matter. That's why I'd like to know exactly what you did.
If you can't remember, boot into the bootloader. What does it say?

I tried AAHK initially but it was not working.
I unlocked with HTCDev. I got the CID key and it said it was successful.
I don't think I relocked, not on purpose anyway.
I tried to S-off with this method:
Code:
boot to recovery (yes, the screen may well be blank, but adb should work fine)
adb push gfree /tmp/
adb shell chmod 775 /tmp/gfree
adb shell /tmp/gfree -f >> yeilds – s-off, supercid, sim-unlock
However when I tried this I got an error at the end
Code:
Attempting to power cycle eMMC… Failed.
No such directory
That should have been the last step and I would have been golden. However since it did not work, and because the guy does not support these actions, I found a much simpler application to do S-OFF and root all in one. However now that application says my phone is a device called "ace" and it will not work, which is why I was trying to go backwards.
And I only just saw now that AAHK2 is out........ ugh. I just want to go back to the beginning. I will post why my phone says in recovery mode to provide more info when I get home.
Thanks for the help so far.
Also would anyone know how I could get my hands on the original rom that would come with a Telus HTC DHD?
like what bananagranola said..you must show us what the state of your phone bootloader now..then we can continued help and guide you what the next step you must to do..
just turn on your phone with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside phone bootloader..then you can tell us what the state is..?

Hello guys,
I'm pretty new to the forum, thats why I'm not sure if theres another topic as this one.
Anyway I've bought an HTC One M8 from a guy on the internet. Well, I've received it today and tried to start it. The first thing after the HTC-Boot-Logo is the Bootloader. I've tried to factory reset the phone - didn't help.
Some other information:
Software status: Official
RELOCKED
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.19.0.0000
RADIO_INVALID_VER_INFO
OpenDSP_INVALID_VER_INFO
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Dec 1 2015,17:33:10.0
So, since I can't enter the OS, I don't know how to flash a new OS or a custom recovery. The only thing that works is the bootloader.
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Post the results of fastboot getvar all here and we should be able to figure out the proper firmware/RUU for you to flash. Edit out your IMEI and serial# first before posting it.
Stuck in fastboot is the expected result after relocking the bootloader, as it expects RUU to be run.
Provide the getvar details requested by xunholyx in the previous post, and we can direct you further.
If no RUU for your version, the other option is to unlock the bootloader again, install custom recovery TWRP, and restore a stock TWRP back (or alternately a custom ROM).
But we need more info in order to determine which way forward, what files to use, etc.

run the ruu maybe this can fix your problem . if you flashed ruu and still facing the same problem maybe its your phone battery problem or board issue try to put it on charge then try to turn it on again .

The advice (run RUU, if his version has one) has already been given. It's not value added to give that advice again, until we have more info about the device (getvar data already requested twice); since the OP gave basically zero specific details.

Okay, I tried to flash TWRP and to unlock the bootloader again. nothing worked. And if I want to get more information with getvar there is nothing showing up - it's just loading forever... So I decided to change the Motherboard of my HTC, and well.. Now it doesn't work anymore... But still: thanks for trying to help guys!

Wow, you were probably not justified in trying to replace hardware; and probably an overly hasty decision. It was probably a fairly simple matter to recover via software related solutions. You probably were just not following the steps correctly.

Too late now, it looks like you ruined the phone. But FYI, you can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader; it's simply impossible. So unlocking the bootloader should have been your main focus.
Fastboot not connecting is usually an easy matter to troubleshoot. Usually a matter of drivers on the PC, or a different cable, different USB port on the computer.
You also can't unlock the bootloader without fastboot. So that was probably the reason why your attempts to unlock the bootloader failed. Again, it probably would have been easy to get fastboot working, then either RUU (after giving us the getvar info); or unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
But probably too late for any of that, now.
