So I guess tomorrow it will be released. But where should I start searching for the update ? I bought this phone without carrier and have no idea how I will get my upgrade tomorrow. Any of you know if it will be downloadable from the htc website ?
you'll be able to get it from HTC if you don't have operator version
only think needed is the serial number
if your serial won't allow you to download you'll be able to get a copy soon from this forum, but you'll need HardSPL

Which unlock software
Do I need to upgrade my memory first for the lastest software to work?
Any ideas please.
Silence?
Can I assume that the lack of responses means that I will not get a reply due to me asking a silly question somewhere?
I have run 1.6 and it said that it unlocked the phone but then gave an error message and says,
see xdadev all unlock.log for details.
This then gives lots of answers as 00 or 0000000.
Have I unlocked it. If so, what do I need to do now?
Thanks
last one?
I am receiving a signal from t mobile.
I am on Virgin mobile payg which is on the t mobile network.
It has picked up all my settings but not letting me make or receive any calls.
All signs are that I have unlcoked the phone and it is connected to
t mobile?
HEeeeeellllppppp
??
I have reset my phone and must have previously had it set to postpaid.
However, it will not let me select prepaid which i assume is pay as you go.
For some reason it will let me chose prepaid if i select germany and not the uk?
Can anyone explain or help?
Thanks
Hi every one, my phone model is HTC Hermes 8525 locked to Att. Now it is in original box with Windows Mobile 5. I want to unlock it first. I have read articles on this BBS and aware that if I want to do future Rom flashing things I might need both SIM and CID unlocked. At same time I found several unlock code provider on Ebay.com. Now the questions come up.
1) Is Unlock code got via Ebay only for SIM unlock, or it is for both?
2) Is there any risk for such kind of unlock code for my phone? What's the worst outcome for using unlocker software downloaded here?
3) If I don't unlock my CID, can I still upgrade my phone with WM6? What specific ROM of WM6 shall I use?
4) Any other suggestion is welcomed, Ad's also.
Thanks a head

Hi and welcome to xda-developers forum!
1) I think this "unlock code" will provide you an ability to disable/re-enable SIM Lock/Operator Lock, not CID Lock (as it's platform specific and required to flash unofficial ROMs)
2) The worst is device will become brick. But it could occur only if you download and flash wrong ROM.
3) No, if it's unofficial. If HTC provided a WM6 update to Hermes (I don't remember), it could be flashed.
Good luck

i just got that phone, i found a guy on youtube for the sim unlock, it worked for my phone , now it runs a tmobile sim card ya. not sure what cid a nd all that is, on youtube most people dont give details on how to get things done but there is the one guy for the sim. next i upgraded to wm6 using a google search and deciphering through all the bull****, then i used xda for wm6.1. it all worked and i dont know **** so u should be fine, if you know how to unzip and do things with files and alwas look for exe. extentsion, that ones usually money, im trying to upgrade to 6.5 but im getting errors, first time im having propblems, so let me know anybody, about that. good luck
What phone do you have?
Hey i want to ask if i buy a uk htc desire phone and want to update it from us how can i do it?
I ask becuz my friend said that i won't be able to update if i buy the uk desire phone if i live in the us.
thanks
I am going to go out on a limb and say you can update anywhere. What will differ is the frequency of the updates depending on which ROM is on the device. For example if you have a device with a T-Mobile UK then you will have to wait for them to provide updates. I am there is a way to demand and load a generic ROM.
if the device is unlocked, .. dont think there is an IP Address restriction for updating, ... i think what it checks is your IMEI, if it unlocked and unbranded than you should get that update anywhere in the world (using the WiFi, 3G, ... etc of course).
dont have the device right now to check for sure though
As above, how do I know?
I bought the phone from TMobile Direct UK, I got it pretty much the day it was released, it shows no signs of Tmobile branding but how can i be certain?
I also have downloaded the zip file of android 2.3 if i update manually will the phone be able to pick up signal despite the OTA not being officially released in the UK yet?
Sorry for the noob questions!
if you try and flash the gingerbread RUU and it works then you are not branded and yes you will still get signal
Do i need root access to achieve this? and what are the chances of making my phone a paper weight?
i was very tempted to do it, yesterday. I booted into recovery and decided i'd wait for more info from HTC who seem to be treating us Uk folk as second class citizens
You don't need root, If you install with the RUU it will either work or it wont, you won't brick your phone, just plug ur phone into ur pc, you need to have htc sync and/or android sdk installed, select htc sync from the pop up message on ur phone and run the RUU
I think i'm too noob and should probly wait for HTC!
you might aswell tbh, gingerbread is being pushed to random phones as we speak, shouldn't be long till everyone gets the ota
yea i know, i'm just concerned that my phone might be branded and i have to wait for tmobile which could be significant wait.
and franky with all the bugs in this version of FroYo it's getting quite irritating.

Actually if you read the threads it seems branded phones are getting the update first.
To answer your original question, when you turn the phone on (from off), do you get a T-mobile screen? The answer is the answer, as a guide.
Nope i don't, i just get a HTC Splash screen.
I tried to insert another sim however (vodafone uk) and it asked me for some sort of 8 digit code.
Could be either SIM lock (the SIM card itself is locked) or the phone is locked to your network (doesn't have to be branded to be network locked).
Check the software number (settings -> about phone -> Software Information) on the phone.
Mine Desire HD with Android 2.2.1 is 1.72.405.3 and doesn't have any T-Mobile splash screen interestingly was primed to connect to t-mobile as there was a little piece of paper which said at the network selection screen choose next despite NO network being selected and T-Mobile not being one of those in the list?
Anyway I believe the 405 bit indicates its an htc (i.e. unbranded) build. The Vodafone uk builds have 161 here instead and my wifes desire that does have a t-mobile splash screen shows software version 2.12.110.4 with android 2.2 installed
Can anyone help point me in the right direction or tell me if I am going up a blind avenue.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a new HTC One m8 off ebay (Hong Kong). The phone arrived and I was able to update it to android 6 via a manual update file on the USA website. This went well so I bought another one for my wife, however, that failed to update. I contacted HTC usa and they advised that the second phone was designed for use in Canada on the Rogers network and would only update in Canada.
The phone reports itself as Android Version 4.4.4. Software 3.28.401.6.
I am in the UK.
I am able to get to the stock recovery screen and believe I need an RUU file to take me to android 6 - can anyone help ?

If you got this from the phone's Settings, it can be misleading. In fact, that software number would indicate the Euro version, not Rogers (so may have a custom ROM installed).
Does it have an OS number indicated on the bootloader screen?
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
I don't think Rogers releases RUUs, so you may need to go another path.

Really appreciate the reply, I worked on this most of the night ... and ended up unlocking the phone and installing cyanogenmod 13 to see how that goes. I copied the stock ROM before installing so can always go back.
The price for buying the phone cheap on ebay !
Thank again Paul
