I have recently acquired a T-Mobile branded G2 Touch (also called HTC Hero I believe)....and the only problem is it sim locked to the T-Mobile network.
I have followed this guide to first temporary root, and then permanent root (and sim unlock) the phone....but it doesn't work.
At least I get an error "cannot cycle eMMC" whether I use v0.04 or v0.02 in the guide.
If I follow the guide here, is this more likely to work and would it unlock the sim?
The only other option is to pay T-Mobile £15+ for a Sim Network Unlock code....but I would rather only do that as a last resort....

Sim lock is something completly different then rooting the phone.
If you want a sim unlocked phone you need to so it trough the network unlock or go to some tele shop.
Yup, rooting your phone does not unlock it. You need an unlock code. Google hero unlock or some similar combination and you will find lots of people selling unlock codes for the hero.
Also, it's not called the Hero. It's the HTC Vision.

Seeing as he/she posted in the g2 touch/hero forum, i would assume they know it is a hero. The vision is known as the g2 or desire z.
Just incase you are unsure, the "vision" has a slide out keyboard. If the phone you have has a rather sizeable chin and a trackball, it is a hero.
the phone has a definate chin and trackball.....

Alright, then it's a Hero. Sorry, it's just that you put G2 in the title, which is a different phone.

so they wont allow users who opt out of a data plan and or dont have wifi to update?
RUUs are leaked and shouldn't normally be open to the public. If they were they'd be on HTCs website (like with their WinMo RUUs)
Guess you cant always trust a telus rep, they told me that the update would be downbloadable from a pc if i didnt have internet access for my desire. (ive been prodding tech support for 2 weeks now trying to get info on when the update is)
I don't see the point in posting the ROM. What would be needed in it that we don't already have or use? Plus if I wanted to do the update that would mean downgrading back to 2.1 and then upgrading.

He said he is interested in some config files, no idea what for. Can you even post just a rom from your phone? Wouldn't you need to extract it from the RUU?
The RUU would be nice though, I'd like to know what radio Telus think we should be running. Obviously it would also be good to flash the phone in a way that masks the modifications made if we need to return it.

Yeah. Good point.
Got bored, poked around. I have a feeling telus will offer the RUU on HTC.com just like other desire providers.
Well it looks like they pulled the update for now....

My Desire is on Rogers, will it still be possible to get the OTA update ?
Yes

HTC Desire - Froyo 2.2 on Telus is here !!
I just downloaded it OTA.
It is installing as I type this.
Oh, this is so exciting !

I got mine downloaded and installed yesterday. All is running smooth
I am on Fido and I got an update notification on my HTC Desire (I had 3G on, and Wifi off). I'm downloading the update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2-1.29.661.1_R_release_Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12.zip) as I'm typing this...it's a 90.5MB download...so I switched to Wifi before proceeding with download.
I'll update later how it goes.
I had a n Orange locked device and have since supercided, s-offed and now running latest stock WW Rom. However, I get the below and wondering if there's anyway to disable the reporting whilst staying otherwise stock or stock and rooted.

I am having the same issue, the best I could do is freeze udove which is apparently the app that does the reporting. When I did this I could no longer open the Tell HTC section in settings so I am assuming it freezes the reporting.

Thanks for that. After a quick search it seems mybreeze.apk is also a potential culprit so I've frozen that too. :good:
Just remember to back up udove and don't get rid of it as you will need it in place for OTA
Is it actually reporting or is that message just the result of an unlocked boot loader? I haven't seen any activity from any of those apps.

As your phone is S-OFF it's technically deemed a test device, hence the warning being permanent. It does nothing to the use of the phone so just ignore it

It wouldn't bother people if it were just device related. If you read the statement, it clearly states that it will collect "personally identifiable information such as your name, phone number, precise location..." you get the point. WTF do they need all of this for just for turning off the security of these devices? That's ridiculous and a great infringement to our human rights and privacy and nobody says a thing about it. They don't need our personal information, just device info, so why would they need to know who **** Murcy or Horace P. is? Secondly, why is S-Off a nice automatic way of considering the device a "test device" if its not like we're probing the thing or anything, just flashing roms and enabling features that can be pulled off on any other non HTC device once the boot loader is unlocked. Who gives a company born in the late 90s so much rights over the privacy of their users?
Anyways, can anyone give me a thorough way of disabling this? I'm not scared of a bootloop or failure of the alarm app, I just feel that if they have such right, we have a right to get rid of it.
Hi,
I bought brand new inactivated sprint htc one m8 harman kardon. I managed to get it bootloader unlocked, S-Off, rooted, and TRWP 2.7.0.2. I'm trying to get the SIM unlocked but I couldn't. I used the following method to unlock the sim but I couldn't pass step 4 as I reach to hit "start" but nothing happens. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150&page=5)
I also tried to install roms but when the mobile boot after I get successful installation, it reboots on bootloader screen only.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
you do realize that post you linked to right at the top it says 100% works from GSM unlocks. nowhere does it say anything about CDMA phones...? which your sprint model is...
and yes i know what your going to say it has a GSM sim card slot but it doesnt matter.
when people say compatible with GSM models it mostly means international GSM and US(ATT/TMOBILE) phones. CDMA phones are a bit more complicated. cause theres the extra CDMA radio partition.

you dont need to unlock the SIM in order to use custom roms. all you need is to unlock the bootloader using the HTC unlocker

I bit the bullet and paid $25 to get S-OFF on my US VM 816 A5_CHL. Worked.
Great !!!
I'll pay off for my A5_UL
and update by then
Thank a lot
Finally Ive made it on my 816 Single SIM
it worked great 100 %
Super cool
Will S-Off and the MSL unlock code allow the phone to be used on another carrier? I'm curious if the sim card, which is now only for lte with the cdma, can be replaced with a sim from a gsm carrier.
This is probably a really dumb question, but does S-off get turned on again when you flash a RUU? Also if you decide to lock it up again, like to get it fixed, would you have to pay for this again? Thanks!
How , Get connect to other Gsm carrier after S-off, On virgin Mobile?
I have the msl unlock code for my phone. So, if I have s-off will it help me use my phone on another carrier. That is can I take my other carrier's sim and put it in the vm lte sim slot and with my unlock code use the phone on the other carrier. I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to do this and does having s-off possibly help this process.

Flashing a RUU will not make you S-ON again. Nothing will, unless you decide to do it yourself, but even then, you can S-OFF again easily, without paying again.
As far as getting a new device, you can probably email the Sunshine lead dev, Justin, and tell him what's going on. He'll probably help you out.

Okay thanks for the info! I probably will s-off in the future for carrier unlocking purposes once a method has been developed for a5_chl.
We have a new update, the question is for people that payed for unlock on ebay (with octopus box or any box) is if the unlock its remain .the answer is yes, you can update without problems.
the true dont know what are the changes, but if you know can talk.

I'm not sure, but i asked an ebay unlocker about ZVD and he said it's currently un-unlockable.
so be very careful.
I'd suggest turning off auto updates in developer options (setting>about phone>tap build number like 7 times)
I also called sprint about jacking up my phone. They will not unlock (even if it was previously unlocked domestic and international) if the phone was on their network less than 50 days. If the phone was on their network longer... then maybe... but no guarantees. They were extremely unhelpful. :silly:
Please elementdgp did you also unlock your phone using remote unlock from EBay.
Thats why I tell people dont update stick with the lowest possible and you normally dont have the issues.....
Are the updates more important that risking the unlockablility of your device? Thats the Question to be asked....

I tested this update (statistics and personally).
This update returns the excellent work of GPS satellites (I did not even see it at all) and DO NOT remove the unlock.
It can be put on the ZVC with unlock. It can not be put on the ZVC without an unlock or VZB. If you unlock the remotely (Octoplus) - the update is safe! I checked the axiom on 8 people + myself.
So did you unlock using remote unlock from EBay. And when you updated it didn't lock

Yes. ZVD not remove ZVC unlock (octoplus), but if unlock was not installed on early firmware (ZVB, ZVS), it will not let you install a new unlock. Octoplus not support ZVD native.
Update with unlocking ZVC - approve
Update with ZVC without remote unlock or ZVB - you can not !
This is minor update - It does not overwrite the area where the unlock is stored. But this update animates GPS satellites, if you have problems with them and improves autofocus cameras on the stock camera.
Thanks a lot
But has anyone else confirmed it
I just updated it and it didn't lock my phone
