Hi,
I have the HTC S621 from Rogers in Canada. I tried to install Route66 Navigator 7 and it sayed that it couldn't modify some registery keys, so i tried to application unlock my s621 and with all the fixes and utility on the web nothing worked.
Is there a way to application unlock the S621 from rogers?
I don't need to fully unlock the phone, just application unlock would do for me.
thanks for your help and time.
Unfortunately you have to unlock your phone (CID,SIM) before the app unlock will work. I had the same issue and did not find any workaround... On the other hand, if you're going to fully unlock your phone, may I suggest flashing to an S620... To provent further issues. Read the step by step in the forums on how to complete your flash first or else you get a Euro keypad.
HTC S620 ROM : http://rapidshare.com/users/7UE30C
That makes three of us.
I did the same thing.
Paid for the unlock, then i was able to app unlock the phone.
Well i guess that i will have to do that then.
But putting the original HTC S620 WM5 or WM6 on my HTC will it improve speed? functionnalities? Or just make it possible to install any application and put in any SIM card that i want??
I just don't want to pay again, and get so little improvement.
Executing Programs...
How do you execute the unlocker? Install on sd card then run app from pc? Or run from phone? How about the new rom? Not very clear on how to run these programs with active sync. First smartphone
MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock, and then install a ROM (say the T-Mobile WM6 beta or something of the sort) if that ROM has the locks in place again, do I have to pay AGAIN to re-unlock my phone apps?
Because that would really suck.

run the unlocker staright from your pc when your phone is plugged in and after it syncs. you dont need to put anything on the sd card at all. on your phone you will be asked if you want to install, hit yes, etc. same as running an install from your phone after that..

app unlock is free, CID/sim unlock is what costs money. you wouldn't have to pay to CID/sim unlock your phone it still will be. plus you have the unlocker already anyways. and you wouldn't pay for the app unlock cause it's free anyways.
never mind.. just read it over and everything made sense..
BTW, Could I get the phone unlocked from my provider? Do they just need to give me an unlock code or something? Or is the best bet getting it unlocked by a 3rd party?
NOTORIOUS VR said:
The problem is I can't application unlock my phone for some reason... just like the OP if I run it (even using u'r instructions above) it doesn't work. It gives me the error message Phone is not unlockable
I've tried doing it manually through the Registry as well... but I get an access denied error message when trying to store the values.
Is there any other way to get around this? It's really annoying that I can't install certain things.

I was only telling you what you're going to be paying for, sounded like you said you were going to pay for app unlock...
MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock,
is what you said. I wasn't trying to solve the problem, cause I've never hit that problem.

If you use the signed registry editor from HTC you could have app unlocked.
See here:

Thats the proper way to do it.

It's cool.
And I think if they would just unlock it for you it would go against the reason they put the lock on it, to keep you with them. So I believe only 3rd party is the only way.

Aye it does. If it doesnt let you copy the exe on you need to copy the zip on and unzip the exe on your phone using an unzip utility.

That won't work because it needs RAPI to be activated. You definately need to use the HTC registry editor I mentioned, that will def work. Post what your actual problem with that method is.

this is one that you execute from the comp when the phone is connected.

I don't know what RAPI is...
Where could i get a good ROM to install on my new unlock S621 ?
or the question is, wich ROM do i use ?
I still want the phone to be usable.
Is there a way to backup my current ROM in case a problem happens ?
Thanks.

RAPI is remote api, which is something that you execute from the comp when the phone is connected - i.e. why its called remote.
RAPI is disabled on most operator's branded phones, hence why your file doesn't work on the Rogers one. You need to unlock using the HTC registry editor i mentioned by running it on your phone.

Hi to all
I have the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 bronze non Wi-Fi. the Tab is rooted and now that I want to update firmware to lollipop it says that my Tab has been altered.
My question is do I need to unroot to get the new firmware and if so how do I do this. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul
Non WiFi? They're all WiFi. :what:
I take it you're trying to ota. You can update via kies (smart switch) or use odin. The firmware is available at sammobile or Samsung updates or if you're lucky a fast mirror maybe posted here.

Don't waste your time, just use kies or update via Odin. They are both official methods.

Hi Sorry to be a pain but when I connect to Kies I get the message that my device is supported by Smart Switch. When I connect to Smart Switch I can't find how to update as it only gives me the choice to transfer data from either Apple, Blackberry or Nokia devices as in picture. When the device is rooted is not possible to do a factory reset.

If you have root or custom recovery you will not be able to update with smart switch you will have to download lolliepop firmware and use Odin to flash it.

Hi been away for a couple of weeks so first of all I would like to thank all that replied with suggestions.
Now I have downloaded the Lolipop file I have a couple of questions.
1) If I now update via Odin will this then make the tab unrooted again once the official Lollipop is loaded. The reason I ask this is because since rooting my device I cannot use my Sky Sports app or my Virgin Tv Anywhere app.
2) If the answer to question 1 is no, then how would I go about unrooting the Tab.
Thanks Paul
Yes, It will unroot your device.
Thanks for the quick reply.

It will unroot your device but it will NOT erase your data.
All user's data (settings, accounts, installed apps, files) will be preserved.

Ok thanks, will update hopefully sometime this weekend.

So I finally updated my tab tonight. Everything went smoothly, Checked software update and it says android 5.02 your device is up to date. Then the first problem I came across was that my Sky Sports app still says that it will not run on a rooted device. Do I need to do anything else to show this tab as non rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You probably should have unrooted first as there will be some residual files in data. The sky sports app is quite clever at detecting root.
You probably just need to wipe data.

Please use my app Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆, and check for the 'Root Existence' info in the ANDROID tab to see if it shows Yes or No?
There are several ways to detect if the device was rooted. I'm not sure how the Sky Sports app works.

From the translation here is what I gathered for the root.
1. Download the nokia n1 driver in your computer; 2)Settings-Developer potions-USB debugging-on.
2. Unlock your device >Settings>Developer potions-OEM unlocking>on. Restart the device and get in fastboot mode .Link your device to computer and use ADB to type in"fastboot oem unlock".Wait for a while and it will be OK.
3. Choose the "boot集成su"-"flashrootboot.bat" and run it.
Thanks a lot. The file attached seems not to be downloadable (but it is via the link provided on the baidu website).
Unfortunately, this does not work for me - for whatever reasons, I don't have the OEM unlocking option in the Developer's section

Pretty sure you can download the update to a PC, transfer it to the phone and perform a local update. Try Google for how to.
