Yet Another HTC One V Unlock Guide
This guide is just another way of presenting walkthrough for the HTC One V phone! Some may find this more easy to follow, other may find it more difficult. It has helped a lot of people with the NinjaTel conversion, so I thought I should share it here!
HTC One V phones come “locked”, preventing any replacement ROM from being installed. You must first get phone switched into “unlock” mode before you can perform any major changes to device.

Is there away to get the hack built in in to a rom like in the hd2 roms...?
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When I got my HTC Mozart, I unlocked it with chevron. The firmware version was 7004 on a t-mobile branded rom.
After that I connected my phone to zune with flight mode on (easiest way to prevent relock) and updated it to 7008, and after that that to 7392.
Everything is working fine, I can deploy whatever I want to my phone, also with chevron I can only "relock", like ansar said.

UNLOCKING
I have been all over these threads trying to get the best and most out os my phone. I have finally got it unlocked. Not if someone can help explain how to keep it unlocked without having to use flight mode? My last attempt lasted the first update but the second update caused it to lock so had to downgrade back to 7004 and start over.
If it has to be done through the registry can someone please explaine the process I downloaded the latest registry editor found on TouchEperience : http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593
Thanks in advance for all help very appreciated.
So what exactly did you do ansar? Just updating your phone via Zune to "NoDo" and it still was "chevroned"? Which phone did you use?
Maybe you can give us more details. I would also like to update my phone but i dont want to loose the advanced config app
There are several threads that discuss and detail the prevent relock reg edit...

Yes there are but with having an idea of what the end result of doing something wrong noobs like myself (to WP7) need a little spoon feeding when it comes to Registry changing.
I apologize if I am asking for a lot but I have always been one that if I understand something better than someone else I have no problem with breaking it down simpler. And maybe with understanding how to do this will also help me to understand how to do background changing which also only done through the register editor.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
The details for keeping your phone unlocked are in my sig. Follow instructions from "How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked" part 1 and 2. Once you have set these reg keys the phone will not relock with updates.

Hi,
Yes, in HD7 it was most easy and you can try this simple steps:
- Flash a 7004 branded ROM
- Setup e-mail account and send ChevronWP7.cer
- Install ChevronWP7.cer
- Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express
- Run zune, sync and let pass all steps but not upgrade yet
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and unlock
- Relock and unlock as a test and stay unlock
- Deploy AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta, to keep unlock
- Now let zune upgrade
- At the end you will have an 7008
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock
- If not let me know
- If yes, let zune to upgrade 7392
- At the end you will have a working 7008 backup to return in case of emegency
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock
Regards, ansar

- Flash a 7004 branded ROM
- Setup e-mail account and send ChevronWP7.cer
- Install ChevronWP7.cer
- Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express
- Run zune, sync and let pass all steps but not upgrade yet
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and unlock
- Relock and unlock as a test and stay unlock
- Deploy AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta, to keep unlock
- Now let zune upgrade
- At the end you will have an 7008
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock
- If not let me know
- If yes, let zune to upgrade 7392
- At the end you will have a working 7008 backup to return in case of emegency
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock

Hi Ansar,
Thanks a whole lot I will do this now I do have one question. After this is done can you connect to another computer I recently got a new laptop (running windows 7) and it is what I have been doing these things with my phone now before I got the laptop I was using my computer (which run XP) last night I connected it to my computer to download my audio and pictures this morning it was back lock and I had it on airplane mode. Will I be limit to only connecting to my laptop or will the permnant unlock continue to keep it unlocked?
Does anyone have a direct link to the AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta when I searched here all 3 results bring me back here and when I google it it takes me to TouchXperience site and the I only see versions 3.0; 3.1; 3.2; and 3.3.
Question in continuing to find Advanced Config I came across this:
How to sideload more than 10 apps ?
Unlock your device with a modded ChevronWP7 version:
ChevronWP7_NoSideloadLimit.zip ( 83.27K ) Number of downloads: 26

Are these apps/programs for the phone itself or for the computer? I put WPSupportTool-amd64.msi [64bit] in the search and got: Results for:"WPSupportTool-amd64.msi"
Sorry, no results were found. It may help to:
Okay I realized I wasn't searching Microsoft when I did choose it I still got the same results then google open up leading me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021920 where the Windows Phone Support Tools can be downloaded. Now to find the Visual Studio. Which I am still a little confused because I thought your instructions these were things to install on the phone and if that is the case then what I'm doing is wrong and therefore I can't find the right things .
Okay I found it but again I am still confused becase you said: "Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express" but what I have to my knowledge is not a XAP app.
hello ansar..
i have an HD7 branded for o2 and i unlock it on 7004 and prevent it from locking
now i have it on the last update and i can deploy any xap =)
so can i help you?!

(How To) Restore Desire Z to Original Bell ROM

This works and is easy.
1. Go to shipping-roms.com and download your applicable Rom, for your phone, from your service provider. Click on Android, scroll to bottom of list and click on "Vision", then scroll to the file called "RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe". This is the one you want!
2. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your Windows based laptop, this is what provides the driver for your usb to connect to your phone.
3. Make sure "USB Debugging" is set on your phone. It can be found by going to: Applications/Development, then check it off at the top.
4. Power Down Phone, or choose "restart" from your "rooted" phone and select "BootLoader" in the option list that comes up.
5. (If you chose bootloader from list as mentioned above, skip this step) With your phone powered down, hold the power button and "up" volume switch simultaneously to get to bootloader menu. This could take a few tries to get right. Keep trying, you'll get it. Hopefully though, you'll have the option in the "restart" menu of your rooted phone.
6. With "usb debugging" on and your phone in "bootloader" mode, it is time to fire up the executable file your downloaded in step 1. After it installs, you will get a grey screen program that shows your phone. Check the box and select next, on the next screen, check the box again and select next. Wait for the rewrite of the original ROM to your phone. You'll know it's working as your phone will display the HTC logo with a green progress bar.
Note: While the original ROM is being installed, your phone may power down a couple of times. No worries, it is expected behaviour. When the program is done, it will tell you it is finished, and your phone will reboot to it's fresh from Bell state.
Hope this helps. Wish these instructions were here when I had to do it. Lol!
Enjoy the Day!
If anyone is having luck with this, and this post was helpful, I could use the "Thank Yous". This allows me to post the direct links to the items you"ll need for unroots.
Actually i was getting ERR 155 but, it was because i was not on bootloader... thanks for the clear and easy to follow steps.
Now i got it working with stock Froyo!!

[Q] Any other way to bypass activation screen. [Solve]

I have a big problem on my HTC Droid Incredible.
Bypassing the activation screen really irritates me and i can't turn on the USB Debugging which is the key to root and s-off my phone and to bypass the activation screen.
The procedure i did for bypassing the activation screen are: tap 4 corners, safe mode, call *228 and end call after few seconds (did this several times), cdma workshop, ##778 change the nam setting, and non of them works for me.
cmlusco member of xda told me that the best way to bypass it is to change the build.prop in any rom i'm going to flash on my phone. Then he give me this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400 and i think this is it, but in the end still failed because i need to turn on my USB Debugging.
Please help me to bypass my Droid Incredible.
I'm here in Philippines and there is no Verizon network provider here.
I already solve this problem and I can use my Droid Incredible. Sweet!!!View the 3rd post how did i do that.

are you able to fix this?im having EXACTLY the same problem.
yup I already fix it, just follow this procedure.
1) try to enable usb debugging mode by doing this procedures.
for this,you should need wi-fi.
so,let's start
1)when the phone calls to *228 tap contacts icon,right to the "end call"
2)try to add a new contact and enter facebook or other socialnet dialog.
phone asks you to enable wifi, do this and connect your wifi network
3)next hold the search button and (via voice search) search in google "market"
4)tap to the official market page, phone asks you about opening this page,choose market app.login in the google accounts,if you need.
5)search in market "usb debug" app. install it and tap "open' in the market app
6)enable usb debugging and enjoy)
and for those who don't have a wifi connection in there home, this procedure is for you.
1. call *228 and tap the contact on the right side of end call.
2. add contact and put any information.
3. try to connect it in facebook to prompt the setting window.
4. tap setting.
5. tap search softkey and type application.
6. finally you can enable usb debugging without any problem.
thanks to ramazancik94 for giving this life saver step for enabling usb debugging mode.
2) root and s-off your phone by following this procedure root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off
3) if you already have CWM, rooted, and s-off your phone try to install some ROM using CWM in development section. Double check if your phone is s-off via hboot (press and hold power button and volume down), your phone is rooted if you install CWM, and find some ROM that suits your need.
4) Try to use the "end call bypass" if this method doesn't work with you this will be your last resort. Delete the phone.apk before you install the rom, to delete the phone.apk open the "blah blah blah rom.zip" and go to data> system app> find phone.apk and please don't extract the rom and delete the phone.apk or i won't work, just delete it from the zip.
Note: Deleting the phone.apk will result for disable your phone signal. So you're going to use your phone for music, game, watch some movies and wifi internet. You won't be able to use it for call, text and mobile data, and also please read it carefully so you won't **** your phone. You've been warned
For more information visit this thread: help bypass the activation
All big thanks to cmlusco, ramazancik94 and tiny4579 for their help

You cant just click on the adb.exe file, it is a cmd line program. Open a cmd prompt on your pc and type " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " then type in your adb command, example " adb devices " this should show the serial number of your phone if connected to the pc and adb and drivers are setup correctly.
thnx for the reply
but this " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " seems to be invalid when im trying to enter n the command prompt window
i already tried removing those that i downloaded and download them again but still the same thing...
---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------
also inside of mini-adb extracted on my c drive theres no adb.exe.it just say's adb
under that is AdbWinApi....so cunfused now

What makes you think the cd command didnt work, did it give an error? All cd does is change the directory to C:\mini-adb_inc where the adb file is located. It is ok if it says just adb and not adb.exe, your pc is just set to hide extensions. When you first open the cmd prompt to the left of where you type it will say something like C:\users\your_user_name\desktop >, when you type cd C:\mini-adb_inc it should go to the next line, and to the left of where you type now it should say C:\mini-adb_inc >Then type adb devices and see if a serial number comes up.
"C:\users\your_user_name\desktop" his is what i exactly saw on my laptop and when i tried enterring "c:\mini-adb_inc" a message appears say's like "incorrect path/directory"
im gonna try using another PC and hope this time it works..

You have to type " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " or what ever the path is to the adb file. here actually try this. Go to the folder where the adb file you unziped is. Then hold ctrl + shift and right click on an empty space in that folder, and select open cmd prompt here. then type in your adb command, ie adb devices.

Sorry to say, but if you cant enter hboot, or boot up to the os or recovery, then the phone is more thsn likley bricked. Unless its a battery issue. Does it vibrate at all when trying to start?

Does it boot when plugged in? There MAY be some help if it can boot when connected to AC power.

I've experience this, just a blinking orange led. What did I do was i charge it and a couple of minute the the blinking orange led stops and it become a steady orange led.
Easier way (offline)
Found what could be an easier way, I'm playing with my sister's incredible and I can get usb debugging enabled by using any of the official verizon update packages (could be a rom, but I downloaded the smallest hboot upgrade from htcdev), it appears to send some commands in usb mode that trigger the activation of usb debugging, what's funny if that if you either disconnect before it's done, or it fails, it leaves usb debugging on.
Non-sense.
EDIT: You just have to open the utility, you don't to flash or disconnect.
Such and old thread but I have a Incredible that a friend gives me and I couldn't access the market app by search function. What I did was search anything with voice commands, then a navigator window opens and change the URL to: market://details?id=usb, it opens the market app and I can install the USB debug app
Simple method, without the use of USB Debudding/rooting flashing:
Go to Emergency dialer,
Enter ##778, and press 'call'
Select 'Edit Mode'.
Password is: 000000
Select 'NAM Settings'
Make the following changes:
MDN = your 10 digit phone# (0000000000)*
MIN1 = your 7 digit phone# (0000000)
MIN2 = the area code of your phone# (000)
Press the 'back' key and go to 'HOME SID/Home NID' settings
Select 'Home SID/NID #1', and change the first value to '189' (Leave the 65535 alone).
Now press your 'menu' key
Press 'commit modifications' "button"
Phone Should reboot now.
Changing MDN using cdmaDevTerm
In some phones MDN cannot be changed, in this case you need to connect the phone to the computer as a "modem" device, and use the opensource cdmaworkshoptool / cdmaDevTerm from here:
http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/
Connect the tool, select manually / automatically the COMPORT for your HTC device, Read from device, Change the MDN to 0000000000 Select write
Disconnect and reboot your device.
It should now by pass the activation.

Moto E4 Guide To Fix Freedom Mobile Stuck On 3G

This guide is similar to my Moto G5 Plus guide, but is a bit more complicated due to not having a signed image with the correct EFS items.
WARNING: These tools can easily brick your phone, use this entirely at your own risk. Only advanced users should attempt this.
Requirements
Moto E4 Qualcomm version (tested on Verizon XT1767, but should work on all)
QXDM software (specifically, EFS Explorer) and basic knowledge of how to use it
Steps
Ensure you have a working QXDM setup, you can follow this tutorial step 1, then from step 4 until step 9 only
Insert Freedom SIM, boot up phone and ensure it can connect properly
Shut down phone. Hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time while pressing power
Press volume down button until you get to the "BP TOOLS" item, tap the power button once on it
After the phone boots up, start up EFS Explorer from the QXDM suite, connect to the phone (it will show up as "MSM8917" under QPST Configuration). You can do this by selecting the phone from the QPST Configuration screen and going to the "Start Clients" menu item and choosing "EFS Explorer." Choose the same port on the next screen, leaving SPC code as is, and press OK. Refer to the linked tutorial above.
Navigate to nv -> item_files -> wcdma -> rrc. In this folder, right click in the file list on the right hand side, select "Copy Item File from PC" and select each of the files in the attached zip (wcdma_rrc_fast_return_to_lte_after_csfb_timer, wcdma_rrc_fast_return_to_lte_after_csfb, and rrc_b66_plmn_support) and press ok (do this one by one). Ensure "Overwrite Allowed" is selected.
Go to the phone menu -> reset phone. Then reboot your phone.
Proof
Note: If you remove the SIM card you may have to do this over again.
I have implemented this fix and it works great.
Just some tips to save others some time.
1. You do not need USB debugging/Developer options on or the Motorola USB drivers installed.
2. The archive in the linked QXDM/QPST tutorial is no longer available but someone reposted in the last few pages of that thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73160851&postcount=1187
3. If using Windows 10 you must boot your phone into BP Tools mode before you connect to the PC. After connecting the phone under Device Manager you must go to View > Show hidden devices to see the Moto E4 appear 4 times under Other devices.
4. You must force install the HTC driver that came with the archive I talked about in step 2. However to do this you must disable signed driver enforcement in Windows 10. Unfortunately I could not disable this with the command line option so you have to do the following:
Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
Click Update and Security.
Click on Recovery.
Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Startup Settings.
Click on Restart.
On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
5. Once Windows 10 boots up connect the phone that booted in BP Tools mode. Once you are in the Device Manager > Other devices you will update the driver of the 2nd instance of Moto E4 in the list of 4.
6. After installing the HTC driver you should see the HTC Modem appear under Modems in Device manager. Right click > Properties and get the COM port of the HTC modem to use with QPST.
Hope this helps someone.
