networked locked ?

i debranded from orange rom and everything was fine i got an update so i did it now its saying network locked ?

Are you sim-locked to Orange?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yup but i got the first update and everything was the same now i got a another update and it has gone like this

Try to unlock your sim card and the message should not appear again. You can buy an unlock code directly from Orange or get one online from a reputable sim-unlocking site, even on eBay. It is possible that you flashed a generic rom that included one of the radio versions which causes this network message to appear. This only happens with Orange branded phones for some reason...

I guess the update was 1.21.405.2
Orange phones that have been de-branded seem to either have their WiFi broken or go to SIM Lock. The only way out of it is to buy an unlock code. (See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693511)
The same happened to me -- although I know it would, and still wanted to de-brand. I just bought a code for £9 from: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300434867258#ht_1893wt_911 popped it in and it worked!
Yeah, it's not ideal but at least you have a de-branded and unlocked phone.

You see what you did there Faddy? You've been told on TWO previous posts SEARCH THE FORUM. In fact the answer to the two obvious questions you asked needed NO SEARCH AT ALL as the answers were recent enough they're still on the front page, but you decided beeing snarky and lazy was better.
Well you would have read peoples issues with the second update and would have avoided this. I have zero sympathy for you.

I have seen many posts by this member... makes you think, could he not have just noted all his queries in one post?

I have to agree with you lot that the OP is lazy and wants spoon fed!
That said, Faddys, if you flash an older radio this should unlock your sim for you again.
I'll let you do the searching to find which one
Edit: When you flash a radio, it goes through 2 reboots. DO NOT interrupt the flash, or remove the battery if you think it's taking too long. This will brick the handset.

LOL, I have noticed the lack of updates from him on any fixes he's tried, and a distinct lack of thanks to people that try to help.
It's bacisally ask for help, get it, leave..

It might help others who are following this thread to say how you unlocked it.
Did you reflash an older radio, or did you buy an unclock code?

Either method would have fixed it, but I agree with you mate and i think it would be beneficial to others if he cared to ellaborate a little

so im pondering cus my fingers are twitching , do i root now or wait for s-off then root. or wait till after next ota then root???? opinions??

First thing you should do is search its been asked before. personally i am satisfied with stock so far. So its not too hard to wait for s-off. i have Desire as well so if i feel like flashing ill play with that

yes my friend i no i should search, but its not lke searching for a problem to fixc is it. it asking advice , but thanks for your input maybe ill fidlle with my desire to for now.

If you desperately want to root and your phone doesnt have any hardware issues do it now. But your warranty will be void by using HTCDev. If you can wait and I would, wait until we get S-OFF then you can do it without HTC knowing.

Don't think s off will ever be possible to be honest.that was the reason I went ahead and rooted.

ahh never say never, im sure the devs or alpharev or somebody will break it somehow!!

I had the same dilemma.
Finally I've unlocked, and rooted, because I'm very impatient.
I think if/when we will have S-OFF, then we will be able, to revert it to "LOCKED" (and not RELOCKED), and we will be able, to erase any trace of hacking/moddding. Then they will have no ground to void the warranty.

To root, or not to root, that is the question.
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer

I thought that once you use HTC's official process they have it logged on their system, as they give you an individual token for your device? Is this something that could be removed? I always thought that once you cross that line there's no going back as they must store it on a server somewhere.
Anyhow I'm teetering closer and closer to using htcdev.com but always end up telling myself to wait another few days......been watching that s-off development thread like a hawk.

I used htc dev to unlock it and never locked back.
It's much smoother with ROMs like ARHD which means a better user experience to me. Stock didn't really satisfy me, because Sense lacked from time to time
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

think ill wait a while see if any ugly issues show up on the phone, i mean i didnt root my desire for a whole year, ( cus i did not know of its existence!!)
but hopefully with s-off we can go back to stock without htc knowing!!

yes, maybe they loggint, that you ask for the token.
but I think that doesn't mean that you used it. you can change your mind after you received it, or you can be noob, and you can't use it...
so it would be very bizarre, that they void the warranty because on some website you ask for a tool.
(if you have a gun in your hand, it doesn't mean you are a killer)

Was in the same boat as yourself. But rooted anyway and haven't looked back. Thank god I don't have to deal with Sense anymore.

i waited so much time... one week ago i said stop and i unlocked/rooted and installed cm10 much better!

S-Off and bootloader unlock

I'd like to start off by saying that I am aware that we are nowhere near getting s-off at the present moment so no need to tell me this.
Me and my friend were talking about his HOX and whether he should unlock the bootloader. I said yes - since I've done it myself and benefits outweigh risks. I did a lot of explaining and I also mentioned S-Off. He then asked whether if we could get rid of the evidence of HTCdev unlock when we get S-Off in the future. It was a really interesting question, but...
I didn't know the answer and this is why I turn to the Trusty XDA community to fill us in . I was thinking technically we could since we have access to all of the device rather than just certain parts.
Looking forward to some answers!
Thank you all in advance.

Yes, you should be able to, if we get S-OFF.
Some will say that htcdev have a record of your IMEI, and so you will lose warranty, but asking for the ability to unlock and unlocking are different things. Plausible deniability.

Agreed and understood. Thanks alot.

S-Off: Food for thought.....

I wanted to just add a comment to a thread somewhere expressing a valid point in regards to s-off.....but it should almost be said in all of them so here it is.
A lot of people have growing concerns regarding s-off ever being re-accomplished with the new hboot versions (1.54 etc). People say that when the VZW S4 can't even get unlocked, how do we expect this to ever happen for HTC? An extremely large oversight that people are missing here is that yes, the VZW S4 community is very large. And with regards to unlocking the bootloader, you could also include the AT&T crowd into the mix as its kinda a dual deal. But these are the only two carrier devices being effected by the bootloader issue. Both carriers xda communities combined. However, when it comes to s-off for our device, you're not just involving VZW users. Or just adding another carrier to the mix. You literally have EVERY HTC One around the globe effected by this circumstance. So not only do you have vzw devs working on it, but at&t, tmo, sprint, rogers, bell, etc etc etc etc etc.....all of am around the globe. There are FAR FAR FAR more people interested in this than there are people for other bootloaders for other devices. This is the advantage of owning a worldwide single-product release.
So yes, I say there is a significantly larger hope for s-off being achieved than most people give credit for.
EXAMPLE - look at how many devices were effected by moonshine/revone and tell me how many phones/carriers were obtainable through this....:good:

Boy I hope you're right lol

Didn't really think about it this way, +1 for I hope you're right.

The problem is that when the bootloader isn't locked down, there's very little reason for people to really get S-OFF

S-off shouldn't be our concern. Unlocking the bootloader should be our main concern, along with root. In all honesty, s-off isn't even necessary and most people don't even know what it actually does. It could cause more harm than good.

S-Off is fun though, I used to love being able to flash radios whenever I wanted on my Thunderbolt without an RUU. Flashing custom splash screens was fun too.

All I want is the Google Edition rom, or as close as we can get to it.
If s-off isn't necessary for that, then I'm not concerned about s-off. I mean I hope it happens for the people who want it though

S-OFF is nice if we can't get an unlocked bootloader through HTCDEV. At this point, I'll take what I can get. I am waiting to pull the trigger on the phone now that HTC shut off the unlocking option. There might be a step where we can:
1- get s-off
2- unlock bootloader / load custom recovery
3- disable s-off (s-on again)
squabbi has built a nice AIO toolkit and I suspect when something is found for our hboot (or another attack vector is found) the toolkit can be modified to include the verizon version. I think once we (verizon people) can change the CID, we will be able to unlock the bootloader and it will be a non-issue.

I updated my #2 to add flashing custom recovery.. I currently have my rezound s-off, but I never liked it being s-off. I always prefer being s-on for extra protection. (a phone condom if you will)

Take from a someone who owed a ONE from various carriers, S-off is overrated.

What about aroma kernels? It is not overrated. Sometimes a boot img cannot be extracted and like I said it makes aroma flashing impossible (maybe TWRP dumlock supports it not sure). Even so, its nice knowing the carrier can never lock my device or unroot it. And as of now, no one else can unlock their device. So no, S-off is not overrated. Just so everyone knows, s-off will not be achieved until the newest hboot is cracked. I am not sure if its possible but if it is, it will probably take a few months. Good luck to everyone working on it

S-Off is kind of a big deal. You can remove that tampered flag when you unlock your boot loader. Hell you can unlock your phone without losing all your data and flagging that tampered line. Most people enjoy peace of mind of being able to relock the bootloader without tampered so the factory warranty and other securities are still available to them.

But there is also a risk you could ruin your phone if you do something wrong. I enjoy s-off but people need to understand what they are truly doing to their phones before they do something they can't undo.

I have read that you must use sunshine to unlock this device is this true??I know yall usually hate dealing with nubes but I would appreciate any help. My m7 is horrible now hoorid batt slow operation it needsmajor help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I honestly don't remember using anything called sunshine. But, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
YouTube is your friend! ? im a very visual person when it comes to tech stuff. Search for "HTC One m7 rooting" and then filter it to videos from one year.
Watch them at least twice before starting to do anything. I highly recommend the ROMs by Santod. He has been around for quite some time, and is active in development.

For the VERIZON variant of the m7, to unlock the boot loader (which u need for root), yes u need sunshine. All other variants can unlock their bootloaders for free via htcdev, but vZw had HTC block all the vzw variants from Doing that. But the bonus is, Sunshine will unlock your boot loader AND gain u S-off. Which u definitely want if u plan on modding your phone. After Sunshine does it's magic, all u have to do is flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU, and you're rooted. Sunshine DOES cost $25, but it's the best $25 I ever spent...
