Hi All
I've done all the steps in making my phone an unbranded one and flashed custom ROM Revolution with Sense 3.0. My CID still says ORANG001 in the bootloader screen. Does it mean that it's still locked? When I used the one click tool it said it has done everything on the screen. Only thing is I haven't got another SIM near by to test it whether it's unlocked or not.
Many Thanks...
No it is not unlocked. Why? Because you did not follow the requirements of the tool. Your firmware is not suitable for the process.
Right man for the job! I've used your tool Sir! So you're saying I should have done the unlocking when I had it downgraded before flashing this new Revolution HD 2.3.5. Am I correct? So if I revert back to 1.32 with the help of Clockwork/Boot Loader then I would be able to unlock it.
Many Thanks...
Yeah, just put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD card again, and go to the bootloader. You should be familiar with the process. You do not need to do any command line stuff
Then use visionary and radio s-off tool again.

one time i coud root and s-off my phone, then i wanted to setup new official RUU WWE 1.72 but i couldnt because my phone has asian RUU and get error.

HBoot Version:
0.85.0008
Radio Version:
26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version:
2.6.32.21....
Software number:

sorry for my bad english!!!! :-"
Please post what is on your phone now? Kernel version? build number? Software number? Hboot version? Radio? No one here can help untill you give as much info as possible. And Im not quite sure I understand what you said about root, did you have s-off before and now you have s-on, or have you always had s-on? What did you do to " formated to factory" exactly? What did you flash, RUU???
More Info Please.

Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes.
I wonder if the 1.74 RUU worked at least enough to change the phone back to S-ON, and as has been discussed the 1.74 stuff can't be rooted using normal methods.
I might suggest this for help:

Finally by [GUIDE] Debranding Bell Desire Z i can bypassing my cid and install WWE Rom. i think my problem is solved.

Ah i ok i just thought because i have S-OFF, i would be able to install the stock rom it anyway, so ive done that and installed the stock PD98IMG 1.32.405.6
Is there anything else i need to do to prevent the phone from locking again? also ive read about this clockworkmod recovery and rom manager.... is that needed to keep my unlock or anything? thanks again guys.
You do not need to do anything anymore, your phone will remain unlocked until you lock it again using Radio S-OFF tool.

Also i have set my "CID" to stock HTC__001, but im not sure what this is meant to do as it seems to have made no difference?
... and your saying that for my phone to become locked again, i would have to change it to s-off, then click "sim unlock" again?
The radio S-OFF tool does not change your software CID, it changes the bootloader CID. So there it makes huge difference. You can try it, you no longer need a goldcard
For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone (if your phone is branded, that is). The SimUnlock cannot be undone, and it does not matter, because anybody can unlock their phones when they just pay for the code. The difference is that radio tool is free.
thanks for the reply mate..
i just have one question "For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone"... i have put S-On back, as i was worried i would make changes by accident to the nand so i put it back to s-On just incase, and my phone isnt locked its still unlocked?
... also im not following you with the CID idea, the phone was/is branded to Orange UK, so i set the CID to stock HTC__001, but this has made no differerence and still seems to be branded...?
and when you say it changes the boot loader CID, do you mean the white recovery screen etc? and when you said it makes a huge difference, what do you mean by that?
You say that your phone is still unlocked after S-ON, what do you mean by that? You cannot install a custom rom, so it is not unlocked. Root is possible with S-ON, but try modifying something in /system/..
And what do you mean about phone still being branded after HTC__001? The CID is just a permission to install different ROMs from different sources, for example HTC__001 allows you to flash any WWE ROM. You probably had ORANG001, with that it was not possible to flash HTC WWE ROM.
by unlocked i mean, can accept any simcard from any network, for example i am using an o2 simcard in it. it is S-ON, im just wanting to make sure i dont lose my unlock.
also what does WWE mean. sorry for the noobness guys.
hi people, i have a vodafone branded htc desire hd, however i followed all instructions managed to goldcard, downgrade from 2.5 something to 1.32, i temprooted, rooted and then installed eng off and s-off. finally i installed revolution hd, however my phone is still locked to vodafone! all the root was correct, and in the bootloader says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF and also CID is 11111111.
ive searched everywhere and still cannot find an answer. please help me, many thanks in advance
Rooting your device (even flashing a custom rom) does not unlock it.
Okay, I was under the impression that rooting and s-off and eng-off would unlock the phone, can you please give guidance on how to do this I've searched everywhere, many thanks

To sim unlock your device, you need the unlock code. Either get it from your service provider (Free but they hardly give it out) or get it from some website (paid but usually get it quickly. Just make sure it's a trusted site).
Okay I will look into it, when I used the s-off easy tool, one of the options was sim unlock? Thanks for getting back to me anyway

Did you select that option?
yes i selected the top option which was radio s-off, supercid and simunlock. i thought that would of unlocked the phone but im not too sure now?
run the radio off tool again ...ofcourse it unlocks the phone no need for any codes and no need to pay it all can be done free when you follow the steps as i did mine not long ago
Hey guys,
I got a problem, that I can't root my Desire again, and I don't know why.
My Desire was once rooted, but I unrooted after installing the original RUU 2.2. version of android, After that, I installed 2,3,3 version, but I can't boot it. It shows me some black screen on boot.
I updated to HBOOT 1.0.3.003 with the official ruu upgrades. Now I can't get back on track and root it again with revolutionary (cause it supports only 2 older hboot versions).
Tried with unlocking the bootloader from htcdev, not completing the final step with copying the code because it showed no one at cmd prompt.
My phone is now *** LOCKED (OOW) *** in the bootloader.
I'm stuck at rooting process, want to install some great ROMs, but I can't. PLEASE HELP GUYS, i really appreciate you!!![/SIZE][/SIZE]

I found some tutorials about downgrading hboot 1.03, but it was with creating a golden card to my sd. Is there any way that creating gcard is not necessary ?
Hello .. from a couple of days I recieved a desire hd but came with a custom rom and that is hd revolution 7.3 ,i respect alot the man who create this rom but I want to revert to stock rom,I know that htc's is a pain in the *** when come to software and I want some help on how i could revert it to stock(I tried with ruu and get 155 error with unlocked bl or 131 even on my cid) So the details are
build number: 10.05.401.4
Baseband:12.65.60.29U
And from hboot:

radio:26.14.04.28_m
Bootloader is curently unlocked.
Please tell my how can I revert to stock ,..i don't know what ruu should i get and other staff,i also tried with goldcard created by xtc and stuck when installing.
Phone is sim unlocked but cid appear t-mob101
Thanks in advance!
to return your phone to stock...firstly you must re-locked your bootloader from fastboot "fastboot oem lock"
because i can't found your RUU...then i think you must using a goldcard to flashing a different RUU (like this RUU or else that are had a higher or the latest version than yours) ..if your goldcard made by xtc had fail fashing that RUU...you can try create a new one with this goldcard tool by glevitan in here..
good luck..
