Develop Bugs

Help Needed - I'm desperate!!!!

Hello,
I desperately need some help. So please, please can somebody rescue me....
My girlfriend bought a HTC Touch Dual from ebay which was locked to the Orange Network in the UK. I tried to unlock the phone for her so she could use her Vodafone SIM and have made a right mess! I used an eight-step process on one of the threads on this forum and got completley lost.
Firstly, I don't really know what I'm doing, and have no idea what a 'radio', 'rom', etc is. In fact, in reading these forums I realise how out of my depth I am.
Would somebody be able to help me out. Not necesarily with unlocking, but just getting the unit back to working order - i.e. so the cameras work, the sound works, the screen responds to my taps, the wireless card works, etc...
Please remember I know nothing about these machines, so you will need to use VERY simple explanation!!
Thank you in advance,
Gary

My best advice is, try and flash a rom on the device for the device(learn how to first, you don't need to know all the details involved just the process, and what to download), then buy a cheap unlocking solution online.
I would suggest this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021.
Here is how to flash a rom on to an HTC device: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide

Thank you for your help...
I'll take a look at your links.
Still don't know what a 'radio' or a 'ROM' is! Any clues welcome...
Thanks again - I appreciate it

I give you 20 minutes to reach me if not then I'm out.

I have had a look at the links and am completely lost.
Please don't underestimate my lack of mobile I.T. skills - I really don't know what I'm doing!
Can anyone simply tell me what to do, step-by-step, without any jargon, to get a workable handheld?
Mabe this will set the scene... Imagine you need to explain it to an 80 year old Grandmother...
Thanks again

[Q] Sideloading Apps

Are there any?
Windows Phone 7 is already open to homebrew applications.
The chevron tool unlocks the device, but to anyone that isn't a developer there seems to be no point to this.
The question is are there any sideloading applications readily available for us non-developing members? Or should I, for now, leave my device locked.?
(And to all you Devs making Apps keep up the good work. And dont let excited people like me rush you )

Have you searched? It's rampantly talked about and even stickied in this very forum.

Yes I have searched...
And the best i could find was infact the same information, that being that the chevron App unlocks it.
Thanks for the help...

So far the only really useful capability we've unlocked is the ability to do networking. Someone used that to make a webserver, which is cool, but the average user probably won't be too interested in it. We're still working on unlocking a lot of other things, though.
The best thing to do is to hop in, learn to program, and start coding yourself! With a weekend, you should be able to make something fairly basic and nice.

[Q] I'm not in US and want to make in app purchase

I got my Note 2 about a month ago and could not be happier with it. I am an iPhone convert.
The phone is not rooted.
The model of the phone is a Note 2 internationally unlocked from factory phone.
When I got it, it had installed 4.1.1. Then it updated to 4.1.2 – where it remains today.
I have a US credit card and address.There's been no problem purchasing apps from the play store for quite sometime.
Then I found an app that I wanted to purchase the pro version as an in app purchase. Google canceled the order and refunded the credit that I had purchased.
Further, Google blocked any additional purchases even from the browser of my computer (using a proxy).Right now, I'm waiting 24 more hours as when I put in a service ticket, they said wait 48 hours and try to purchase again and if there was a problem they would try to help me.
The problem seems to be with the in app purchase more than anything.
To be able to make this and other in app purchases easier, I would be willing to root my phone if there is a safe way of doing it.
Has anyone figured out how to do an in app purchase with a Note 2? Will rooting the phone give me this ability?
Sure would appreciate any help along these lines.
PS I even wrote to the developer asking if I can send the money directly for the pro version via Paypal or if they could let me buy it in some other way. They wrote back a rather short letter that that was the only way I could do it. I tried one more time to write to them, and they just ignored me. I'd like to give them money and I'd like to have the pro version of their program.

You may want to try market access app, (google market access apk) and spoof a US carrier. You will need root for that.

Thank you.
I looked on the Play Store and do not find market access (apk) or anything similar.
Can you tell me where I might find that?
Is Market Access how you spoof a US carrier or is that something else too I need to do?
Also, I am on a Mac, not a PC. I don't find instructions on rooting using a mac. Everything refers to a pc. Any ideas on that?
Sorry for these questions - even to me they sound very noobish. I working to come up to speed on all this as quickly as I can.

You can download Market Enabler.apk [LINK] or Market Access.apk [LINK].

You won't need MAC to do it. Just download it using your phone and install the app.

If I'm understanding correctly, the API's need root access to work.
My device is not rooted yet. And I have a Mac. How do I root my device using a Mac instead of a PC. All directions about rooting my device talk about opening a. exe file on a PC.

I Want To Try Flashing To Boost Myself....Need Help!

I want to try flashing this phone to Boost myself. I've had it on Verizon Prepay and Page Plus. I paid to have it flashed to them so now I want to try to flash it myself since I have a Boost phone I can use as a donor. The only problem is I have no idea what the hell to do:laugh:
I have all the "free" versions of flashing software and a guide to flash to Boost but I know this phone is difficult to flash because its hard to get the 3G keys to stick so I'm sure the guide won't cover everything. Anyway, if someone would like to help me out I would be eternally grateful and can donate a little if need be. PM me to get my Email add. or text if you would rather do it that way.

WOW....Thanks for all the help guys......LOL

You're asking about something that few people need to do, much less know how to do. I was looking into a similar thing recently and I know that it is possible, but not easy and not for someone unfamiliar to flashing and whatnot. Not saying you, just saying. I would start here:

I am familiar with a few of these but my main problem is that this phone has some kind of lock on it keeping you from setting " keys " and the password for the keys when you try to get your data going. Its really different than any I've seen so far. Thank you for replying to my quest and giving me the links. If you or any one you know that might have some insight you are willing to share about what I mentioned I would really appreciate it.

Did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to do that same thing, I'm exactly where you're at minus the guide to flash to Boost. I have a guide for the Evo 4G but not this phone.

First, this isn't a Note 2 forum it's an S3 forum, nor is it a support forum those two pieces of software.
Second, maybe your device isn't full rooted, it has root but has a system remount issue and that's why it's failing.
Third, No money is to exchange hands through XDA except for proper donations through dev's that have contributed enough to have a donate button on their sig.
