when i was browsing the sources of htcdev i saw that the info lines was :
Phone model then android version tyen kernel versio then carrier and country and there was also the type of the rom and the option that were listed are CRC and QMR and i didnt understood it so can anyone translate it to me cause im new to all the htc stuff and kernels and fastboot...
so i need the the noobish type of explanation.
To see an example of what im talking about you can go to this site and in the phone model pick One X and in the carrier pick orange and then youll see what i mean.
oh and another thing i wanted to ask is:
if the kernel version number is higher or lower for example:
3.0.8 compared to 2.6.39 then what does it mean.
CRC its just a method of validating files.
And I THINK(could be 100% wrong) kernel versions are related to hardware specs(by region)
And what about QMR?

Just out of curiosity...
What does the version numbers in Sense mean?
Ex. 2.29.405.5
And Radio?
not sure about the last one, but the first 2 are release versions:
1. number is for major releases(1=ecleair 2=froyo)
2. number is for lesser releases lige bugfixes and so on
3. number is to show from where the update originates so to speak(405=htc, and every carrier have their own number here)
That's about right, except the first number. I don't think it's linked to the Android version as the Legend FroYo update starts 3.x.x.x
Thanks guys
What about the radio? GPS, Camera. etc?
Would love to gather a full list with the meaning of the numbers...
Could not find anything by searching...
Radio is just like the drivers between Android and the hardware. All stock RUUs come with a radio file which is what HTC link the hardware to
The version numbers are random and increase with each release.
GPS, Camera - no idea what you mean. There aren't version numbers so don't worry

I`ve read in the Hermes forum that f.ex .11 (or .01) means that GPS is enabled
If ypu want to know the brandong then I know 3.. 405 generic htc, 161 vodafone branded, 711 three3 branded
Hope this helps!

The Desire has GPS on it, you just turn it on. There's no version numbers involved
"The Desire has GPS on it" -
Ok, so only the Sense version numbers means something, and all the numbers and dots in radio dont mean anything, it just increases randomly after an upgrade...?
Ex. my Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Your Radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
It does not represent anything
No, it doesn't. It's just a version number. They mean nothing
Don't worry about it!
Damn, OK, I give in
Ive done everything possible but apparently my version is not the right one, Im on the Bell network and Im very excited about this. Any help whatsoever would be great. Thanks.

If you are not running a T-Mobile G2 with HTC kernel 2.6.32.17, you MUST also give the kernel some other configuration options too! Pull the file /proc/kallsyms and search for the address values of acpu_freq_tbl and perflock_notifier_call. When loading the module, specify these addresses along with any other parameters: insmod vision_oc.ko acpu_freq_tbl_addr=0xc055e1a0 perflock_notifier_call_addr=0xc006c974
This is what I need to do but what does it mean?

Hello,
My name is Mirek and I am new here, that is my first post on that forum so if I write something wrong please forgive me and suggest me the right answear.
BACKGROUND:
I would like to overclock my HTC Desire Z also and I have made temproot (confirmed with the help of "Root Checker"), because I do not want to have a perm root or make complicated and risky (can brick the phone) downgrades of Android version and I do not want to loose my guarantee from the seller.
PROBLEMS:
(1.) Later on I have uploaded special scripts to my sd card and with the help of Gscript I have tried to use those scripts (I know there is also possibility to upload scripts to "/data/local/" without of Gscript app) but when I do that some error occure which says: "insmod: init_module '/data/local/vision_oc.ko' failed (Exec format error)".
(2.) From my later investigation and read post from different forums I know that is because file which I have uploaded to sd card "vision_oc.ko" has not actual addresses related to my current kernel version.
I have downloaded addresses from my Desire Z and I am enclosing that to this post (“kallsyms.zip”). I can find there address of “perflock_notifier_call”, but I can not find there „acpu_freq_tbl” address…
QUESTIONS:
(1.) Is it possible that the „acpu_freq_tbl” address is hiding on some another designation?
(2.) Maybe someone has already properly modified "vision_oc.ko" file for version of kernel "2.6.35.10-g7b95729" and can send me that so I can try?
(3.) I am enclosing to that post “kallsyms.zip” file with addresses from my Desire Z, maybe someone experienced can prepare new "vision_oc.ko" with the right addresses from the file which I enclose “kallsyms.zip” or at least can suggest how can I modify that "vision_oc.ko" by myself?
Can someone help me with that?
My kernel version is:
2.6.35.10-g7b95729
[email protected] #1
Android version:
2.3.3
Compilation no.:
2.42.405.2

I bought a used Motorola MB526 (i hope its a defy), and i think its tmo sim locked, because when i put my sim in i have the message "pin to unlock the sim network" on my display, i dont have any sim-pin or sim-lock on the sim itself.
And cause im new with that, i dont know what steps i have to do now :/ I have some specs from it :
Code:
SystemVersion:
45.0.1251.MB526.T-Mobile.en.DE
Modell:
MB526
Android Version:
2.3.5

Kernel Version:

Build Number:
4.5.1-134_DFP-1251
I hope someone can help me out, thx alot in advance
there are serveral ways:
1. you pay a "service" to calculate your unlock code by giving them your imei, country and net-provider
2. you can have a look at the links in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464645
-root your phone
-install cm7 (which of course i would only do after reading a LOT of stuff here in this forums of course)
-install the software from the external links
-run it
both ways are somewhat risky and you might have a chance to loose some money (1. way) or your phone (2.)
if you have not done it already i would also recommend some searching. there are quite some topics around on this.
cheers
Thanks alot for the reply . I surfed the tmo wepsite, and on it there is a "sim unlock" section where i can enter my imei, i did that and became an unlock code directly on their homepage. And it works
Now i can with my eplus carrier with that defy . Now i have another question, can i update the oS that is installed on the device ? You see my specs above Android Version etc. is that okay or can i go higher ?

Well you could always go higher and higher by rooting

Root rulez!
You do even own a Defy+.
Since I own the same phone i would recommend rooting the phone, install MS2Ginger 2.1 with all the patches you like and even V6 Supercharger, which is really a must-have! My Defy+ got considerably snappier with this script.
But regardless what you do: Do a NANDroid backup first after root!
Hi all, new to the board and hoping to get at least some enlightening answers to my troubled mind. As a computer tech I see these new generation of smart mobiles as a small computer with an operating system where the user can upgrade, install and customize as he wants.
That's where my troubles begin I just bought a Gio s5660 for my daughter the phone came with Froyo android 2.2.1 installed. When I came to this country I didn't know there were so many restrictions imposed by the carries regarding upgrading it, in short to pay for a service that I can do it myself.
My question is if I do upgrade my phone lets say with a rom from France region will it work anywhere in the world independent of carrier?? is the language of a region the reason we have to update according to the carriers?.
Appreciate any enlightening,
TIA,
JLart
at first, welcome to XDA.
there are specific versions of the galaxy gio, and not only the GT-s5660.
most have a letter behind it, like the GT-s5660m, GT-s5660L. and there's the V model too, and a korean model is SHW-....
where are you from/where did you bought the gio?
this is so I can know wich type you have, as some types have different hardware, and can't just flash firmware, as they need specific firmware for their device, or you can't make calls, or wifi doesn't work...
firmwares get rolled out per provider, and sometimes they have 1 or 2 preinstalled aplications, but these can be removed easily, if you have root acces, but thats a different story.

-->> The one I am holding is GT-s5660 apparently from Italy since one of the labels on the box and the user guide is in Italian.
where are you from/where did you bought the gio?
--->> I am in Israel and staying until the end of the year after that I head back to Brazil. I bought the phone here not directly with the carrier. The phone is unlocked and as soon I put chip from a different carrier some apps change according to the chip I put in.

Hello IM also a new user and looking for a confirmation on this. Is it safe to assume that, since the phone is unlocked does it matter what region I am in??? Installing any ROM would be ok then??
10x for the reply
Hi, would like to say ty again to voetbalremco for his much precise instructions.
went to the site he said, downloaded an German open version of android 2.3.6 installed and everything works perfect with any carrier.
To answer meudroids question you correct, the phone open so you can upgrade on a GSM phone so that uses a SIM card. At least thats how I understood it better experts on the forum will be able to help u on that.

Hello guys im a big fan of HTC using them from the last 15 years.
I moved yesterday from my belowed M8 to HTC 10 because i get a"Brand New"" Mint condition never used HTC 10 for exactly 200 USD and i saw its a super Offer for this Carbon Black device no single scratch still sealed
I cheked the phone and is writen to beb USA WWE Version Factorory Uncloked etc.
All work perfectly fine i chek it via HTC Diag and few more alternatives the only one thing bother me when im using a program to identify the device in Main bord is writen "QC Reference Phone" What this mean its that a normal?
The phone is 32GB Black Carbon USA unclocked WWE version i update it via the OTA to android 7 exactly the latest Security Patch is from September 2017 and the build of the android, 2.51.617.21 the official one since the phone was never Rooted or Unlocked Bootloader or S-Offed i have to do this this weekend)
so if you can give me more info about this will be perfect
Thank you in advance.
My other question is regarding the Unclocking things, since 10 is new device for me i will unlock the bootloader with HTC devs 1st then will install costum recovery and root it do i have to S-OFF it just to use a Custum ROM? like Viper and some mods all i want is to be able to flash Viper ROM plus Ainur Aidio Mod Sauron plus Infinity Sound mod by Zero thats it..
I know if i S-OFF it will be able to flash diferent RADIOS firmwares etc but in case im with the latest official Nougat firmware why i will need to do that? or do i really need it if i want to be able to flash only the above things i need.
Of course later with the change and OREO firmware update i will S off it anyway but do i need to do it right now what exactly i will be not able to do if im S-ON only the RADIO firmware?
THANK YOU much appriciete

Basicially S-OFF is needed if You want to change MID and/or CID to flash any RUU You want or, as You said, to be able to flash different firmware (older for example).
In matter of flashing custom roms, You don't need S-OFF to do this. If You have latest official Nougat firmware You can flash Viper ROM plus extras You have mentioned
Remeber one thing, before flashing first custom rom it's always nice and handy to perform backup in TWRP.

They gave you a QC reference phone. It's a prototype for development. You need to report that user to ebay and get your money back.

I think the best way would be to contact HTC Support directly and give them all the details about phone
For all the people who wonder there is nothing WRONG with that and is not only ME also the thing about test unit or some kind of protoype is not true as well finally i have a chance to talk directly with HTC Tech support for many things including this QC Reference phone readin of the MotherBoard.
Also they did a nice lookup chek for me and told me the device i got is Perfect USA Factory Unlocked Aka Developers Device in perfect condition. And also that the dive is bought directly from them from the Official HTC site because they had it in the databes there when who and how did he get it.
Lets make it short here is the reason WHY this heppans and not only to me they are already familiar with that wrong reading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia P.: Great, Tsalta. Based on your IMEI number, I was able to check in my system that you have an original HTC Device manufactured in the US and bought through our website.
The message you are having is not an issue, your phone is in perfect state. The database of some applications does not have all the sub-versions of the processor references. The mainboard does not handle like in the computer that has apart ram processor and video. They handle something called SoC (System on a Chip), therefore the processor handles the whole system. But as there are so many versions depending on number of cores, type of video, amount of ram, etc. the application may not recognize the type of processor.
But, I promise you, there's nothing wrong with your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the answer its something related with the revision version Some programs read it on some devices some cant handle it BUT all the device are THE SAME.
