Got an HTC Zara, help unlocking or reflashing? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I managed to get a hold on an HTC Zara for Virgin Mobile (Model HTC 0P4E1), if anyone has access to these devices or knows how to generate a service code to unlock from VIrgin Mobile, a code to get get into diagnostic mode for CDMA workshop, or provide a compatible firmware image I would appreciate it much. I am pretty technical and can test out a lot of different procedures and report back here if people have suggestions.
Mods: Since the device is so new there is not a board for it yet, so I put this here in general unlocking and modifying.
EDIT: forgot to add, the device also needs DIAG drivers if anyone knows how to get them or a way to make the DIAG drivers for another HTC variant work

Unlocker for Vogue

Hello, ** the PPCGeeks Website is down**
I'm trying to upgrade to a new ROM, preferably 6.1. My phone is currently not starting, it just hangs on the HTC black intro screen. When I go into the 3color screen I can flash to new ROM, however, I keep getting error "Vendor ID invalid"..
I need the unlocker application. Can I unlock from the 3 color screen? If yes, can someone post the app because ppcgeeks website is down.
Also, can someone point me to the FTP link where I can find the 6.1WM ROM for Vogue?
Thank you!

alrighty,
1.ppcgeeks is up again.
2.there are MANY MANY MANY wm6.1 roms now out for the vogue. just have a look at the ppcgeeks>htc vogue>upgrading forum.
3.the unlocker is stickied in the vogue section over at ppcgeeks.
4.i dont think you can unlock from there, try flashing the stock rom back to your device (can also be found at ppcgeeks(ftp)), then once it boots up far enough to connect to activesync, go ahead and run imcokeman's vogue unlocker, and dont forget to thank him!(and/or donate to him)
Unlocking Sprint Touch Vogue w/ no SIM
Unlocking Sprint Touch Vogue w/ no SIM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reply. I shourtly found out there is no SIM Card, so to get straight to the point, is there any way to get the Touch Vogue to work on T-mobile (USA)'s network without having a SIM Card.
T-mobile said there is no way to use a phone on their network without a SIM Card.
Background: I had my T-mobile Dash stolen. Now thinking I could unlock it, I got a Sprint Touch from a friend who bought the I-Phone instead. Can I use it, or should I simply resell it?
Please help. Would anyone be kind enough to communicate via email for quicker response? [email protected]
Vogue only work on the Network it is locked just look at it and see what Operator logo is there Must be Sprint Get you Number ported to Sprint to use it
forget about TMobile is a GSM Provider and Vogue is on CDMA Technology
Vogue / GSM Touch is different Hardware
CDMA and GSM technology
I would say to visit our CDMA network technology website where you will get all the information.

To my knowledge, you have to take it into one of the shops to have the hardware ID added to their system before you can activate it on their network. CDMA isn't as easy as GSM. I'm not entirely sure the phone services the same spectrum even if it supports the same access technology.
Secondly, I really doubt there is a free version of the full CDMA Workshop apps, how would they make their money? I could be wrong though.
It should be easy after you get the phone id (meid) registered with metro's system. Yo have to install QPST Build 355 or newer. To get the phone connected with, just enable debug mode, and dial ##3424 , then connect the phone to the pc with the usb cable, if you have win 7 , drivers will download automatically and you will be able to read the phone with qpst software, then just follow the guides for another android phones fladhing to metro. If you dont have win 7 you will have to look up for the drivers and install them. Whrn qpst asks for programming code, enter 000000, thats the same for all verizon phones.
I succefully flashed a Verizon's XP and now its working with calls and text for my iusacell carrier in mexico, but I just have 1x internet connection cause I cant make QPST PPP settings to stick, always revert to verizons, Im still looking for a solution for that. Hopefully someone here could help me solve it.

Factory tools & Service tools

Factory tools & Service tools of DVP, including all image files and part of source code.
somebody may be insterested in it.
NOTE.
These tools can ONLY work with FTM unlocked factory test rom now, it's NOT for phone repair usage.
If your phone was bricked, the tools will not help you.
So these tools are only for developpers now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of functions are require FTM mode, but I'd never succeed in boot my phone into FTM mode.
Service tools can be switched from 'Service Center mode' to 'Factory mode' by modifying the ini config file.
The Factory tools seems to compact with both dell venue and venue pro, beacuse the ADB dll is included in the tools(and in the source code)
Sure its needed!
Can you share it for me. Was looking for it for a long time!
Thank you.
If it's able to individially flash the firmware binaries, what are the odds the V's would be compatable?
The bootloader is one of the bigger software differences from V <-> VP, if the V's booted on it you could install android on it (and hypothetically vice-versa)
Also: what is SWV 935? The newest known SWV is 219.
I'd be interested too for historical purposes
now there are service tools + factory tools
PM me if you need it
Hi, It shows Dell Generic as an option. Does that mean using this tool / tools one could flash a generic version on say a TMO / ATT locked / unlocked phone and make it a fully generic unlocked phone?
If so this is interesting and would be interested in getting the tools
Anyone has tried this?

Hello, as i can see you're from Chandigarh,India and you want to unlock your Telus HTC Desire HD,all i can give you easiest method without any troublesome and without rooting or unlocking bootloader. You may have to simply follow below given link.
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-NETWORK...111?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f37413d7f
Need to contact supplier locally,as he's also belongs to same location as yours. Also you may give him IMEI first before buying it.Send him a message and deal with it. Once you receive 7 digit code. Just insert any carrier working sim card. It will ask you to enter unlock pin code.,Type given code provided by supplier as given!
Once done,it will prompt a message "Your device is Unlocked" and so you're ready to rock with any carrier you want. Most of the time supplier asks you to be on Stock Rom,but as long as your phone detects non legit sim card has installed,you're good to go.In your case your device is Stock so no worries.
That's the simplest method with cheapest way to unlock without messing around and trying to ended up bricking it. This link i found. You might find cheaper than this. But that's how i did with my device.

Need help updating htc m8 to marsh mallow

I got htc one m8 4days back from a store in hyderabad. Everything is great about this device but there are two major problems i am facing.
1 - There is no software update option in the phone.
2 - Not able to access 3g or 4g, only 2g coming.
So i need help on these two points and I am desperate about it.
I got some info about the device that its a rooted device having s off and bootloader is locked.
So Please guide me how to overcome my issue, it will be a big help.
I am not that much tech expert but if you can guide me i can do it.
Thanking you.
The device doesn't support you carrier. You shouldn't have bought it, without knowing in advance whether it would work on your carrier, or researched if/how it can be modified to do so.
The device can be modded, yes. Definitely for 3G, LTE is not certain.
You'll need to find the firmware.zip that supports your local carrier's bands.
