Okay Guys,
Xmoo have managed allot of good things and pointed us in the right direction! and that is, we need a:
HTC Sensation GoldCard + HTC One X diag file to S-off our hboot.
The HTC DIag files should be Availible for some Repair centers and Could be leaked as its been happend with Xmoo's team.
Xmoo's team can NOT give this file out since someones Could loose his job if this happens. So we must find our own way to obtain this DIAG file.

THis is to show you guys there are ALLOT Diag files leaked for HTC, so there is 100% sure a way to let this happen for the One X which will give us S-OFF
Hi, Here is my heist of various s58 Diagnostic NBH files. To use them for unlocking and S-OFF, a HTC Factory SmartCard or XTC Clip is required.
If you dont have the necessary hardware, these are still good for the following:
- Clear User Security Code
- Clear Call Timers
- Viewing Device Info (CID etc.)
Using these files will reset your device to factory state so be careful.
Here is a complete list of the s58 Files contained in this package:
Android:
---------
Desire, Desire HD, Desire S, Desire Z / G2, Incredible S, Inspire 4G (AT&T), Nexus One, Wildfire S and Sensation.
Windows Mobile 6.5:
--------------------
HD2, HD2 (TMOUS), Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and Touch Pro 2 (CDMA).
Windows Phone 7:
------------------
HD7, Mondrian, Mozart and Trophy.

there is said:
no there are no special rights needed, the problem is that you need 2000 points to download the file,you can buy points by paypal. i've tried this but they don't accept my paypal. so we need to find a way to get 2000 points?

No signed javacard would be needed then? what hardware will we need? Y cable + card reader + sensation´s goldcard?
I managed to make an acct. That's the easy part because I'm from Hong Kong, but the problem is that it needs 2000 credits to download the file while it only gives you 800 when you register.

Well... I have to break their rules to do so, by making 3 accts, then open 2 meaningless thread which there'll be an attachment selling with 800 points. Eventually 1 acct will be able to get 2400 points and I'll be able to download it.
Sounds really insane, but that the only way to get the attachment ASAP.

FAQ.
What is S-OFF?
S-OFF stands for Security-OFF
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.
What has already been done?
-Tried flashing DIAG file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
-Tried flashing ENG HBOOT as zip file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
-Tried flashing modified DIAG file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
-Tried flashing modified HBOOT as zip file, but with no success. Signature check failed.
-Tried creating a Goldcard, but won't work. The Goldcare is for Qualcomm devices.
-Root while phone is LOCKED, won't work. Only will work on the Qualcomm One X and One XL.
-Ask the Chineese guy with the S-OFF tool. Won't share, cause he needs his money.
-Tried flashing files over recovery, but with no success.
-Tried flashing TETS and MFG ROMs, but with no success. Phone needs S-OFF because the ROMS are not sighned.
-Tried changing CID, but won't work. Only will work on the Qualcomm One X and One XL.
-Tried commands over ADB, but with no success.
-Tried XTC clip, won't work.
How Do I Know If My Device Is S-ON Or S-OFF?
That is easy to verify. Simply boot into HBOOT (bootloader) on your device, and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.
S-OFF – What And Why?
HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.
Where is it located?
Don't know yet, here are the partitions.
How can I flash through SD?

How does HTC do it?
They do it with a smartcard/javacard/goldcard (What ever you want to call it) in combination with the DIAG file. Proof is in the attachment.
Something more:
/system/etc/Flash_Loader.conf
boot_port_name=/dev/ttyACMX0

ah finally someone is looking into this
good luck for you two
great news and finally...looking forward to this and do not mind holding off a while longer
Hmz the radio version 1.1204.92 seems to be the missing link between the 1.26 and 1.28 (CN) ROM. So guess this HBOOT is from 1.27
Hmm would buying this tool be helpful to the development of this? Just not sure if this fake or not

The tool is on taobao which is like eBay but its just for ppl in China which I hate so much cuz it doesn't support PayPal.
I'm trying my best to spot the tool once its on the forum, but if someone else is more fluent with simplified Chinese and actually uses the xda China forums I think its easier for them to understand what they are talking about.
They have ranking system on their forum so iunno if ranks are needed when something like that is released
I can try to contact the seller of that tool tomorrow and see how the trade works out

Agreed. Fortunately, we've got some of the brightest DEVs in the world working on it.
Is anyone else able to install the care suite on a win 7 64 bit system? I keep getting errors that I need some x86 c++ thing installed, which leads me to believe there is no 64 bit version. Not to mention that what I've read says that you need v4 installed to run v5. Both give me the error. Any ideas?

I'm running it on Windows 7 Professional x64, and I only installed v5. When you see those errors, copy and paste (highlight/Ctrl C) the addresses to download the required files. There were two for me. Install the first one, then try to run the installer again, it pops up with another one. Install that, then try to install again, and it goes right through.
Also, after installation, you will need a USB driver for the Nokia Suite & Fuse Connection Manager. For my Windows version, I used this one:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x64.msi
There are a bunch in there, but this worked for me. If that does not work for someone, try another. I'd suggest this one for Windows 7 x86:
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x86.msi
Believe me, NOBODY is more excited than I am to find this, and find it works on Windows 7 x64. Now, I can start to play with released Custom ROMs and Customizations without worrying as much. During Recovery, there is an option for USB Dead Phone Flashing. I would assume this is for Bricked Phones.
anybody use the Data Package Manager yet to see what Roms that Nokia has available? I am seeing two variants of the Rom for each color Lumia 900.
For Example for the Black version I see 2 listed they are
1. RM-808 ATT RETAIL DEVICE ALIVE BLACK
2. RM-808 VAR ATT BLACK
Anybody have an idea as to what could be different? In the Package Manager there is nothing to distinguish what the difference is between the 2 other than the Product Code of the ROM, the SW Version is the same throughout all the ROMS, and the Firmware Files are all the same size minus the Rogers Rom, they are all 350.42MB.
I've Uploaded a screenshot of the application with the ROMS Listed.
I don't know what's different, if anything, but I personally flashed the ATT Retail Alive one to my phone. I believe they call those others Variant files.
Use Rogers's ROM to flash AT&T devices
Anyone try to do this? Because of seems like the internet sharing in AT&T is different than WW model.

I tried once, but it failed. I was afraid of bricking it, so didn't go any further. It may work, but I was not willing to sacrifice my new Lumia quite yet...

OK~ Have you try the internet sharing with other carrier's SIM card?
Thanks for your kindly reply.
Nokia Lumia 900
HI Gents,
Have a question as i'm quiet new to this:
I have a Nokia Lumia 900 locked by at&t in the US. I purchased it on ebay and live in Australia.
By me flashing this phone, will it unlock it from the at&t network with ROMS provided by the above links in this thread?
Best Regards,
crowvat

I don't believe you can unlock the radio by flashing one of these, but maybe someone else can offer insight?
Again, I have NOT successfully flashed the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, and I'm not even sure it will work. Keep in mind, it may brick your phone like flashing the wrong version of the Focus ROMs did to some Samsung Focuses, or how the HD2 had two different Radio Versions that bricked them if used incorrectly. Those two situations were unrecoverable without sending in to Factory for repair.
Another thing to keep in mind. These are 100% Original ROMs from Nokia. There are no changes or Hacks in these. You only get what your phone was originally shipped with. No need to use these if your phone is working properly. I posted them for anyone who wanted to look inside the ROMs for hacking, or anyone who has a phone in brick state that wants to try to recover.
I have a feeling successfully being able to flash the Rogers ROM over the ATT ROM might actually unlocked the internet sharing... However it's probably best to confirm in the other forum with someone who's unlocked the Rogers L900 on Telus if they were able to actually use it or if it remaining locked to Rogers.. If not, we're wasting our time trying.
I just tried to FORCE flash the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, but I could not get it to work. It is failing due to not being correct hardware. Someone else might have better luck than I did. My guess is the files will need to be modified a little somewhere.
I also just added Images to the first Post that show Nokia Care Suite, and what phones are supported using this tool.

Rogers customer here.
The internet sharing option IS available but any connected devices will not get internet access unless you have a tethering plan. So even if you flash a Rogers ROM to an AT&T phone, it seems the provider still can disable internet sharing on their end.

I wonder if you can't flash it right now because the Rogers version is also a HSPA 42 device while the ATT is only 21. Dont know if this is enough of a difference for it not to work.

That's how the ATT version is. The option exists, but you have to call in to ATT and have it enabled for an extra charge.
I believe for those who want it free, you'll need to wait for registry access... Even then, doesn't ATT eventually find out and back charge?
Makes me wonder. Can a Rogers customer call Rogers and have it enabled for a charge on an ATT phone?
Hello everyone.
I have a Nokia Lumia 900 with unlocked bootloader / Qualcomm. I mean, I have Nand Access (if I try OSBL mode it asks to format). I'm currently running OS v 8107 and update 8773 is available but update is not feasible via Zune nor NCS (it does not find Nokia bootloader and can't proceed, so reboots).
As far as I know, updating via QPST is neither posible because of custom ROM (.nb file) is not available at this momento. Am I right?
The unlock bootloader is as is 'since factory'. Is there any chance to flash 'original' Nokia DLOAD so I can upgrade via Zune and/or flash OEM ROM via NCS?
Any help would be appreciated.
I've never heard of a Lumia 900 with a Qualcomm bootloader.
But if in fact you do, you should be messaging biktor_gj and Heathcliff so they can get a copy of that bootloader from you

Well if its the same Qualcomm bootloader that the 800 & 710 have, its my understanding that its already unlocked.
biktor_gj was the one that discovered it for the 800/710, that's why its crucial you message him. If you do in fact have a Qualcomm bootloader for a 900, he would be able to set it up so that we with the NLOAD bootloader can downgrade to the Qualcomm. Then custom roms can happen.
But until then, you can upgrade via the CAB method SuperSport has provided here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736863. It only updates the OS though, not the firmware

Hi,
I had already DM biktor_gj and am awaiting for his response. I tried CAB method before (1 month aprox) and had no success. When it restarts the pone and sends upddated files it gives and error (don't remember the number, i'll try to reproduce later) and reboots with the OS non updated.
I'll keep you updated when I try CAB method once again and regarding the response I get of the DM. Thanks again

anything happen yet? i've recently purchased a Lumia and i'm definiely wondering about this. an amazing phone regardless!
Definitely DON'T upgrade anything until heathcliff and others can check out your bootloader. If you do indeed have qualcomm bootloader (and it seems you do as no update method is working for you) this could be VERY helpful in helping us unlock other Lumias.
This sounds like amazing news if it can be done.
How do I find out what bootloader I have on my lumia 900?

Turn off your phone. Then, boot into recovery (Either Power+Volume Up or Power+Volume Down), then plug the phone into your computer. If it asks you to format, say no, it can brick your phone. You have a Qualcomm bootloader. If it says "NOKIA DLOAD", then you have a Nokia bootloader.

I have Qualcomm bootloader and still have no clue about recovering DLOAD or even flashing a custom/stock ROM. I can't even update via Zune. Still stuck at 8107.79 (FW 8107.12071) ...
Any idea pls?
Hi,
Many people sent me messages with a reference to this thread. So, I will post here some info on this subject.
- It would be useful for research purposes to have a dump of the ROM. You can do that by connecting your Lumia to a Linux box and have it mounted a mass-storage-device. Linux has proper file-system-drivers to access the device. Make sure you don't write anything to the device. Just make a backup of all the files you see on the phone. Use WinRAR to pack it and upload it somewhere for sharing.
- In general, the NOKIA bootloaders have already been analyzed. But they are coded very tightly. No exploit for a HSPL-like-hack have been found yet.
- The dumped bootloader cannot be used to downgrade existing phones to the version with the unlocked bootloader, unless a hardware hack, similar to this, will be found for Lumia 900. It cannot be used now, because a signed certificate is missing for that.
- Currently only ankerael can benefit from this. After you made a backup of all the files/partitions (in Linux), you could ask a ROM builder, like Ultrashot, to fix a nice ROM for you. Maybe he can create an unlocked ROM for Lumia 900 for you? You could follow this guide for flashing the Nokia Lumia. Be careful! It is easy to brick your device with this stuff!
Good luck,
Heathcliff74

Hello everybody, I have some pictures so you can see i'm talking serious about the bootloader. I'll try what @heathcliff74 suggests by the night and keep you posted.
Sorry about being a little distant these days but have had lots of work stuff. I am back now.

Is there any chance that someone could find a hardware hack or the certificate for the 900? Is anyone actively working on this, or is development on the 900 basically dead now that the 920 has replaced it? I know that others have replied to and asked this question, so sorry for asking it again, but I just wanted an update
Thanks,

Since my lumia 900 suffered a fall and screen get broken (still 100% functional) i decided to get a Galaxy Note II because I couldn't even update.

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a Nokia 7.1 and I was wondering if the current unlock procedure is working with this version as well?
Thanks!
According to a facebook post, they are not going to offer any bootloader unlock for the 7.1. Hopefully this is wrong information.
Nokia Mobile Hi Robert! Thanks for your interest. At this point, there are no plans of releasing the 7.1 with an unlocked bootloader.
Until HMD allows bootloader unlocking I'll stick with Oneplus and Xaiomi for complete control and root access
Can a Mod fix the title for this thread? It may be here awhile. Thanks.
Someone needs to try once they have a 7.1?

I think that comment is taken out of context. I see it as they are shipping all phones with locked bootloader, not that they won't be unlockable.

Yes, my reading as well.
Fair, here was my original question but I do understand the possible confusion between unlockable and selling it unlocked.
Thinking about getting two 7.1 devices when they start shipping. Is there word on whether or not the bootloader will be unlockable? If the bootloader can't be unlocked I'll move on to something else.
Nokia Mobile Hi Robert! Thanks for your interest. At this point, there are no plans of releasing the 7.1 with an unlocked bootloader.

It's a decent device, and having One is certainly a plus, but I'm moving on to the Sony XZ3 for a few reasons including the lack of an easy, supported method of unlocking the bl.
Additionally, AOSP is available for the Sony if that's your preference and it gets timely monthly updates.

Hey there,
I own a Nokia 7.1 and was also looking around for a way to unlock the bootloader. I've been looking around and it turns out Nokia has their own website for this. I have unfortunately not posted enough times to give a URL, but a quick search for 'nokia bootloader unlock' has the top result showing the page I am referencing.
Not sure if it's been posted as a reply before, but I thought I'd share.
Here's the site.
Not used it personally though
The second result when searching is a paid service($8) but they remotely connect to your computer to do it which I'd not be comfortable with to be honest

I used said 8$ Service today. Some indian guy named Narender Singh, friendly, patient with a Android noob like me. Communication in my case via Telegram chat. Time difference isn't that large from Germany to India (they have UTC+5:30). Contrary to my sparse Android skills I'm definetely not a complete noob with computers, know a console command when I see one. I took precautions, and was aware at what was happening on screen and tracking the clipboard at all times. But really nothing suspicious ever happened. He used all the software and ROMs that i had downloaded myself in advance from sources I found myself using google (f.e. NOSt 0.6).
He did do all the nessessary steps in the cmd, always inside the NOSt path, fastboot this and fastboot that, not a single command did look suspicious or aimed at the computer (which was a fresh win10 set up for the purpose, and not in Home Network). He looked up some serial Number and other device information he got from the phone NOSt console commands, copied them to a newly created text file. Two minutes later he copied a large string into said textfiles (no console commands, more like a veeeery long key) which he supposedly created from the serial number and other device information he got from my phone.
Some rebooting the phone in download mode later, the bootloader is unlocked (console confirmed, downloadmodescreen in phone confirmed as well).
We had no luck in installing the Havoc GSI ROM however, which I had downloaded in advance, but in a wrong version (like for twrp and/or tailored for some motorola?). So now my next problem is: since not many people know how to unlock the bootloader of the Nokia 7.1, nobody will develop a custom ROM tailored for it.
I will now have to look for and try some GSI google-assistant-free ROMs the next days and try those twrp/adb installation guides... Any suggestions are welcome :fingers-crossed:
Narender suggested, that I should try Custom ROMs tailored for "Nokia 6.1 Plus". Don't know why, probably the model is very similar? I'd feel more like trying generic GSI ROMs instead, but that's just a feeling, because i simply don't know how similar they really are.
So far my feedback on unlocking the bootloader on my 7.1.
I don't know if this helps or not, but you can still toggle the oem unlock button even if its greyed out on pie.
All you have to do is turn off the developer options and turn it back on , but as soon you turn on the developer options click on the oem unlock button as quickly as possible and it should toggle the button. Well, it did in my case.
Has anyone tried using it. Let me know if it works.

A. Does this have to do with the phone being blacklisted?
B. Is there anything I can do to update to android 12? (I have no experience whatsoever but can follow instructions in case that works).
I tried contacting the carrier but they said I need an account in order to get help clearing the imei, I cannot contact the person I bought it from because he's obviously a fraud plus it's been a while, I tried searching for online services but cannot tell which ones are legit they all look fishy to me.
Should I just settle with this old version until I get a new device?

If the above suggestion does not work, we can follow this tutorial. I have followed it before and it worked. Perhaps the reason you cannot update normally is because of where you are and what firmware is on the phone.

I'm guessing the reason you're phone is having problems is because it was bought in a different country then you, and the version of Android available varies depending on where you are. For example, wireless regulations and standards vary by location. Regardless of the issue, the tutorial I linked to should solve it. I can help guide you through it and answer questions if you'd like.

I appreciate it! Let me do my homework and study the tutorial first.
Blacklisted phone discussions, regardless of the circumstances are not permitted.
Feel free to continue discussing how to flash/update the phone but any discussion on circumventing a blacklist will result in a warning or ban pending the circumstances.

Let's do this option: "Download the Odin-flashable package". Dial *#1234#" to figure out what you're current CSC code is. I already have Bifrost installed, so if you want me to I can download the correct firmware and then upload it here.

I'd really appreciate that, it's OYN and I've searched for that and could not find anything

All right, can you give me your model number (SM-...)? I'll see if Bifrost recognizes it.

It looks like the CSC code "OYN" is not recognized. Looks like this has happened before: link. I suggest that we flash the EUX version, as it is the most common and is what most (perhaps all) new phones come with, so it should work in your country (I have it and I'm in the U.S.).

So it doesn't make a difference if we use another code? Cool

Alright, I believe I just figured everything out! Based off your model number: "SM-N976U", your device is a T-Mobile one. This means that your phone should have TMB (T-Mobile) firmware, as you can see here (notice that there are only three CSC codes available for your device). On Bifrost, TMB is showing as available for your device, so I am downloading the Android 12 (latest available) version for you right now. Let me know if you want me to keep downloading it.

Yes please and thank you so much. This doesn't lock the device again does it?

Don't worry, I've done this before. I just restarted downloading the firmware - Sorry, I've been busy the past couple of days. Remember, if you have any questions, let me know. Just don't get overwhelmed, we can do it.
P.S.: Firmware should be done downloading in ~2 hrs, and then I'll upload it for you.
