HBOOT Simlock - Accidental

I have just turned Radio & Eng S-OFF and rebooted my phone into HBOOT to check it had worked (it had) and I must have scrolled down to Simlock. In a moment of stupidity I pressed the power button to turn off the device - completely forgetting this selects the menu item!
I don't know what Simlock does, but I'm assuming it's self explanatory and locks the device to a particular carrier (T-Mobile UK in my case).
I used leith51's method/tool for turning Radio S-OFF which also includes a SimUnlock option. So I ran this tool a second time again selecting the top option (Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock), so to undo whatever "Simlock" does.
Does the SimUnlock in leith51's tool undo the clumsy mistake I made, or is it something else?
Kind regards,
--Mike

hi there, did you find the solution for that? I made the same mistake. I'm desperate for a solution.

The simlock command wont do anything unless you have a certain file on your sd card! Dont worry

What leith51's tool, it is mine
And yeah, like AndroHero said, simlock will not do anything, normally.

corrupt bootloader s-off

hi
i just downgraded my desire hd and then did a radio s-off but then i wanted to do a S-OFF.
i used the easyS-off but then it said bootloader corrupt do not reboot.
i already tried without "I Have Radio S-OFF" then it just says connection problem
i have charged only and debugging turned on
what now?
thnx

hmm what about Easy Radio Tools?

i used that for radio s-off

it worked now!! thnx to this guy

second post!!

I would be hesitamt to reboot though, haven't used the easytool as I personally prefer to know what steps are being carried out, but if it warns that the bootloader is corrupt I wouldn't reboot until I knew the situation is corrected.

Hello guys (I suppose most of the visitors are in fact guys ),
I downgraded my DHD to 1.32 this week and managed to get root-access and did a successful Radio S-OFF using the One click Radio S-OFF.
However; this morning I tried the One click ENG S-OFF but the first time I tried to run the tool I got an error stating "Connection error (SD)". Rebooted my phone and tried again.
This time I got the error "Bootloader corrupt, contact XDA".
After I almost crapped myself I started to search for a solution; someone on this forum stated to go to application settings - superuser - and clear data. Did it and then I got a bunch of applications which did a forced close.
Tried the One click tool again and got the same error (Bootloader corrupt).
In the meanwhile I got all this popups regarding android.process.acore needed to close which finally resulted in an unusable phone so I rebooted...
Thank god this went alright and my phone is up and running again but...
I think the last failure was probably caused by the One click app that doesn't have root access (didn' t get a popup though), but I'm a little afraid to try it again.
Does anyone know if it's save to try it again?

Why not do it longhand? Concise instructions are available here, I realise you already have root but even if you follow the instructions from the begining they aren't gonna do any harm.

Thanks, that could be a solution however I found out that I didn't check the box "I have Radio S-OFF
Tried again with the checkbox checked but got the same error again.
The files that were copied to my SD-card at the first attempt are still there.
Is it safe to remove these files?
Maybe that solves it...

It is very important, that you agree the super user request while the tool does its job.
I had the same problems some weeks ago (bootloader corrupt), because during the flash my display timeout was reached and the super user request failed (black locked screen).
If the tool can not get root, it can not copy the bootloader. The message "bootloader is corrupt" is confusing, because nothing has happend.

Which is one reason I favour doing it long hand at least then youd know it's failed to flash the bootloader

Hmm, strange.
When I boot into the bootmenu (vol. down + power) it states the I'm already ENG s-OFF and hav CID 111111...
Something must have gone right....
However I can't find the line anymore that states that I have Radio S-OFF, is this normal behaviour?

Exactly! The instructions don't mention it, but when you run the easy s-off exe, it goes through a few steps and then your phone will ask you to allow superuser access. So have your screen on and be ready, and THEN run the easy s-off utility. That's all it was for me. I hit "OK" on the error message, tried it again but this time watched my phone and allowed SU access, and it worked fine.

Hi,
I'm posting here because i had the same problem ( Bootloader corrupt etc ... ).
First I rooted my DHD, and made it Eng s-off and installed a rom a few month ago.
Today I wanted to install another rom, and flash the radio.
But I did not remenbered if I already had the radio s-off, so i installed the 1.32 stokified rom, used the easy radio tool ( v2.2 ) and when i wanted to use the easy s-off tool ( v05 ), the program gave me the error message concerning the bootloader corrupt and stuff. I tried it with "I have radio s-off" ticked, and when I try it with unticked, I have a connection error message.
I tried to delete the data from SU, but it didn't help, and then I noticied ( remenbered ) that SU did not asked me the authorizations when I used easy radio tool ans easy s-off.
Anyone have an idea how I can fix that ? Maybe unistall/reinstall SU ?

HTC Desire HD radio S-OFF steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTFphGbgqbQ&feature=player_embedded

Yes I did that after reinstalling the 1.32 rom, excepted the Visionary steps.
The root is permanent no ? I did it on my previous rom, so I don't have to root it again when I install another rom ?
Anyway, my DHD rebooted when I tried to secure the battery compartment, the bootloader wasn't corrupted, it's fine.
So I checked the bootload, I have ENG s-off and Cid 1111... this mean that my device is radio s-off too right ?

Yes, you can install custom roms and flash radios now.

[SOLVED] Help pls! Very Slow Booting!

i have done research and i basically nail down the problem. i did search around and found options to resolve this.
one of it is using RUU options, i tried several times, but due to slow booting, the operation fail.
i try to use OTA, to update to 2.50.707.4, however, when it reboot, it stuck in the HTC black screen instead of white.
My problem problem is same as the one is found:
" powering up takes about 30 minutes - 20 minutes just black screen(so I thought phone completely broken), then HTC logo with approx 10 mins vibro, approx 5 mins silent, boot to android and then - working fast as usual. USB connection not recognizes, reboot to bootloader takes eternity and locks up in menu(maybe its just makes a move onse an hour, I dont tested so long)
Any advises?"
my problem came when i did the "one click eng s-off" as i wanna flash a new radio. after i have done the "one click eng s-ff", my device reboot and i am having the above super slow boot. i assume the hboot screw up or conflict with what i have done.
please please advice...
edit: however, i am able to go into bootloader and recovery using adb command (which take ages). my recovery is 4ext or something like that. i have a backup of my previous downgrade version before i flash the smartdroid. what should i do?

my backup after downgrade version is 2.37.707.3. what else i need to do?
edit: SOLVED
i revert back my hboot and everything done, very risky to have eng s-off.

from what i read, you probably have a device shipped with 3.x, and downgrading hboot causes that super slow booting. its a known problem...

actually, the problem is not caused by downgrading. this is what is did : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 "one click ENG S-OFF"
i just revert back hboot settings using the terminal and code provided from the thread, and problem gone. yet, i don't know what's go wrong. i think this problem is very rare as it is NOT due to downgrading process, as before i do the ENG S-OFF thing, i already downgrade the device and even flash smartdroid ROM in it with no issues.
actually i am helping my friend to root his phone. well, i own a samsung galaxy s2. i don't have to go through all the pain to root.

The issue happened when you flash the older Eng bootloader on a device that came with gingerbread.
Since the Eng bootloader is older(from froyo) it is as above hosted. Downgrading your bootloader. Its not as rare as might think. A lot of people have been in this spot

there might be a lot, but trying to search for this solution is as rare as i can describe. or should i say, i couldn't even search for it? i have to click one by one to search for it.
can you enlighten me with a link or steps to get eng s-off? coz all the search topic i found is actually quite technical, as i am sgs2 users, it is actually very hard to understand the term used in htc.
i might as well quit helping my friends with more rooting/hacking on htc as it is too risky and almost different from sgs2, and i don't wanna pay for any damages.

Their is no need to have Eng soff. It only causes issues for newer devices. Regualr soff is more than enough to flash a custom recovery,custom roms,radios,bootsplashes.
For example with engineering bootloader many people will use.the fastboot command to flash a radio(you guys might use modem). With soff to flash a radio it needs to be packed in a flashable BOOTLOADER zip file. We call them PD98IMG.zip. that's essentially the difference. Eng one can use a PC and fastboot to flash radios, while regular soff we pack it in a zip and flash in bootloader

[HBOOT][RADIO] [S-OFF] [gsm] HBOOT & Radio collection

Edit: uploading the radio along with hboots. All the HBOOT and Radio is ripped from official RUU for EU. I have tried the latest four radios. But the older two I'm not so sure. Uploading them for experiments anyways. Let me warn you these radio and hboot flashing is far more riskier than flashing rom. Actually this is the way you can brick your phone actually.

Hi everyone, I had a lot of trouble after s-off my phone via XTC clip from a nearby shop. Just because my phone became HBOOT-0.90.0000. It has many disadvantages like U cant flash roms other than GB. So, after bricking my phone twice by flashing latest radio(every time I had to go back to that shop and he got a JTAG to fix the phone) I have found a solution. The first thing you need to do with your S-OFF device i think flash an RUU.
IF YOU WANT TO FLASH ONLY RADIO IT'S VERY RISKY. U NEED TO UPDATE HBOOT ETC. TO FLASH LATEST RADIO VERSIONS. NEW HBOOT IS NORMALLY INCLUDED IN RUU (Rom Update Utility). THIS HBOOT LOOKS COOL AS ITS SIMPLE.
Hboot 1.08.0000 => dowloadlink
My phone is A510e. S-OFF.
ENJOY.

As it has to be ripped from a RUU uploaded by d33ps1x I am uploading a link for newbies like me.
Hboot 1.08.0000 dowloadlink =>PG76IMG.zip
After upgrading U can flash this RUU from this linkhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577175 and do fota update to upgrade to latest firmware and get back to HBOOT 1.08.0000. After getting back to 1.08.0000 you CAN EASILY FLASH CWM FROM BOOTLOADER AND ROOT AND EVERYTHING ELSE without going through any trouble.
My phone is A510e. S-Off.

If you have S-OFF with XTC clip, you have also S-OFF in the radio which means you can flash whatever radio and hboot you want.

No sir. U can't flash everything even with S-Off. Some radios are killed by bootloader when flashed as my mentor (who jtag my phone to unbrick) says. And when that happens you won't know before the next power button press as the bootloader screen will say flash successful, but in real your phone is bricked means you will only see a white screen blinking on and off when u press power. When press vol up and power ull get 3 vibration, when press vol up vol down and power you will get 7 vibration. LOL.
Your hboot has to be 1.08.0000 to become like you said (flash everything). And like I said I bricked twice trying to flash different radio versions. And there isn't a single post about this matter not in xda or anywhere else I searched.
My hboot became 0.90.0000 while I S-Off. So this post is for gsm S-Off users who has hboot below 1.08. Thanks to d33ps1x for the ruu post. There is not much post about S-Off.

Well you "mentor" hasn't a clue then to be honest, I had the triple vibrate blank screen problem, phone was far from bricked, all I had to do was re run the RUU and it worked fine, even at 1.08.0000 radio, the whole idea of s-off is you can do what you want...

Sir u can't run ruu when ur phone is bricked. Because u can't connect ur phone to pc via usb and also u can't go to bootloader when u press power and vol down u ll see nothing happens..
All I'm saying is when your bootloader is below 1.08 and u r S-Off u may be in risk as some radio don't support below 1.08. 1.08 is ok I also said that in post.
The thing I said wrong which u misinterpret is U can flash everything with S-Off true. But u can brick atleast there is a chance as I bricked twice I experienced, don't try flashing all radios if ur bootloader is below 1.08.
It's just a caution derived from my experience. I'm no dev. Just passing time here. Do whatever with ur phone at ur own risk.

Cheers for the help dude. I'm sure it'll save a good amount of people out there in this position xD

As you said in the PM about CM7 or in this post to UPDATE/DOWNDATE (Don't understand which should be called if anyone go from HBOOT 1.09.0099 to 1.08.0000) the boot loader, i think modpunk is right here & you need to downing the kernel as alquez specified in CM7 post if someone getting problem porting any ROM like cyanogenmod.

Doesn't matter if you are 1.8 or 1.99 call it update or downgrade. You shouldnt have problems when ur hboot is 1.99.
Anyways U need this post only if your hboot is 0.90, that will be the case when someone is just s-off and hasn't applied any RUU.

DHD got stuck on HBOOT while downgrading\rooting

hello everyone
im a new to this kinda stuff
i have a desire hd with 2.3.5 android / Sense 3.0
i wanted to root the phone
so i downloaded the Advanced Ace hack kit
i search on the XDA but didnt find it
i search else where on google and downloaded it
so i backed up my data and started the KIT
so once started it promoted that it needs to downgrade the software for my android
and asked me (y/n)
answered yes
asked something about an RUU also answered with yes
so it started downloading the "PD98IMG-GB2.zip" 253 Mb
anyhow once completed it started the downgrading and the phone went to hboot
as it said it will read praise and when finished it will reboot and flash twice
it did reboot to the HBOOT menu
and here im stuck i waited 15 mins or so nothing changed noticed the the Vol (up\Down) doesnt work

Calm down, your phone is not bricked as you're still able to enter HBoot, I sadly don't know how you fix this, but I'm sure It can be fixed.
Just wait till one of the senior members respond

I did a little search on the website and i found this link, (there are several other post relating to your problem)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386387&highlight=stuck+ace+kit
I found this part especially useful:
Basicly you use the ability of Hboot to recognise PD98IMG. zip, which would allow you to flash a standard HTC rom so you could have a new OS on your phone, than you would able to use the ACE kit again
Firstly, as long as you have a working bootloader, your phone isn't bricked and can be recovered.
Well it seems you are Radio S-Off (Ship S-Off), but you also need Eng S-Off to flash a recovery from the command line using fastboot.exe. I'm pretty sure danward's Android Flasher uses fastboot, so I'm not surprised it didn't work.
What to do next depends on whether you can get access to your sdcard from your PC. If you can - with a card reader in the PC, or another phone to put the card in and connect via USB - then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Download the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM from Section 1 and put it on the root of your SD card. Then put the card back in your DHD, and reboot into the bootloader.
It should recognise the PD98IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash it, press Volume Up to confirm. This will put the stock 1.32.405.6 HTC ROM on your phone - this is an early shipped HTC firmware and it's the easiest version to root.
Edit: Note this file and the RUU below are for a Desire HD, and I don't think they will work on an Inspire - see later in the thread for some links to Inspire files.
Once it's flashed, it will replace everything - ROM, Recovery, radio - with the stock versions so you'll need to use the hack kit again, but you should still have Radio S-Off. Also remove the PD98IMG.zip file from your SD card when done, otherwise each time you go into the bootloader it will ask if you want to flash it.
If for any reason you can't get the PD98IMG.zip onto your SD card, you could try running an RUU (Rom Update Utility), this is the official HTC firmware in an EXE file you run from your PC. Plug your phone in via the USB cable and run the RUU file. You can find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3#post19101263
The 1.32 version isn't there, so I would go for the next oldest WWE version (WWE = world wide edition, i.e. not carrier-branded)
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_ 26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
If that runs, it will do the same as the PD98IMG.zip, i.e. put your phone back to stock HTC firmware, but once again you will retain Radio S-Off.
I don't know much about the Ace Hack Kit as I rooted my phone before it came out, but I'm pretty sure that it will root either of those two versions of the stock firmware just fine. Good luck!

so it started downloading the "PD98IMG-GB2.zip" 253 Mb
anyhow once completed it started the downgrading and the phone went to hboot
as it said it will read praise and when finished it will reboot and flash twice
it did reboot to the HBOOT menu

Put the PD98IMG from the aahk (the name must be PD98IMG not Pd98IMG.zip) on the root of your SD card (not in any folder)
Remove the battery wait 30 seconds>put the battery back in the phone hold volume down + power butten > you see a white screen wait for the question and chose yes (vol up I think)
Good luck (a trick for you. If you have a schipped phone with gingerbread don't use de eng-s off option in aahk)

You are wrong....the ENG HBOOT in the Hack Kit is modified to work with all versions of Ace devices (DHD / Inspire) because is a pseudo ENG S-OFF. What u can not use is the tradicional ENG S-OFF nor a Froyo RUU in GB shipped devices...that is detailed in the manual and in the Hack Kit site....

i have fixed it
first of all i want to thank you guys for helping me out
it seems when ever i start the HBOOT it get stuck
after hundred times of trying
i did try to launch the HBOOT without the SD card
so no PD98IMG will be found to launch it
i entered and it was working (i can toggle between menus but im stuck here no rom to launch still)
and it seems when my mobile first start to praise the PD98IMG.zip when downgrading began
it rebooted and broke the installation (not sure though)
thought it could be some bad ver or something of the PD98IMG so
i tried downloading the PD98IMG.zip else where
from the link provided by you guys
didnt work
same thing
so i thought why not change the SD card and put the PD98IMG.zip and re launch the HBOOT
AND IT WORKED JUST FINE
started flashing >>praising >>>>perfect
but why didnt it work on the old SD card dont know
its the card that came with the mobile
anyhow my problem was resolved and thnx to all
im now on the Vortuous Rom Affinity

Sometimes the SD Card can cause problems, glad you fixed it though

oke thank i know it now

I dont know if it fixxed already, but i had the same problem, the problem is your sd card isn't been made a proper GOLDCARD.
If you remove the sd card, it will work, try hooking up the sdcard to a computer and use GOLDCARDTOOL and then try it again.
Then i should work.

If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.
