[Q] How to sim-unlock? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been following this guide over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039 and did this :
1. Unlocked bootloader from htcdev
Questions :
Where should I copy the rom in step 2 ? What folders are from the SD card?
When I go in bootloader recovery an image of phone with ! wrapped in triangle is shown?
Is there any other simple free way to sim unlock my HTC Desire HD?

1) download the rom on your PC when download plug your phone into USB then select mount to copy files. Then drag & drop the from to the root of the sdcard ( not in any folders.
2) sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed.
Also just to point out the cmd line for fast boot should be: fastboot flash recovery recovery1.img

When I go in recovery it first displays the HTC on white logo, then phone with symbol similar to active sync symbol, and then the phone with the exclamation mark in triangle, it cannot be turned off, i have to remove battery and then restart.

If you follow the linked guide in this thread, it also will remove the carrier lock. I followed the guide with a Telus-locked phone and, after completing, the phone is sim unlocked.

Did you install custom recovery before? Were you able to go to recovery in bootloader?

you need to put the rom zip on your card, when you open the card on your computer, just paste it in as you open it in your file explorer or whatever.Then fastboot flash recovery recovery1.img, wipe data/factory reset, flash the zip from install zip from sdcard option, go upwards so you reach the bottom faster, and select your zip.Flash it, reboot, then continue with the guide.

The guide did all three for me. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and it installed 4ext.
If you just want to sum-unlock the phone and nothing else, you could just buy a cheap unlock code.

When I boot in bootloader or fastboot or whatever- should I leave the phone connection with the PC - on mounted as disk drive? or change it back to charge only?

Disconnect when rebooting to bootloader, then pick fastboot, then connect the USB cable.

You were not granted root access. That is why it says read only

Before going through the guide, were you prompted to enter a network unlock code with your sim on the phone? If not, is it possible the phone was already carrier unlocked?
If you were prompted for a network unlock code before completing the steps in the guide and you are no longer being prompted for a network unlock code, sounds to me like your phone is now unlocked.

ps. when i run fastboot my phone isn't in fastboot screen it's on black screen with HTC logo.
hey, yesterday i had same problem. just wanted to go to stock rom and i stucked on same screen. and windows didn't see my sd card. so what i did:
booted to linux ubuntu, somehow linux saw my sd card, with gparted i deleted all partitions and reformated sd card. when i downloaded android flasher 2.2 i gues and flashed original bootloader from alpharev.nl, and flashed rocovery img. when i started official ruu 2.3 and everything went fine. now i am on original rom and have working phone . but i think that main problem was cm7r2 hboot. so i think you just need to flash original hboot and run ruu rom. ruu rom you can get from second or third thread in development section. good luck.

[Stuck] in CWM Recovery while rooting

Hi everyone, yes i have a DHD, and i tried to root it with AAHK tool. I know that many have success, but i failed.
Now i got stuck in CWM Recovery and can't get out. Although i tried all the options in the list, but it always returns the CWM screen.
I also tried to install a Rom cook, it said that Success, but then i return again in the CWM screen.
Here it's some pic

Here it's Hboot menu
This is when i try to run AAHK tool once more.
P/S: i've read the instruction of AAHK tool before action, my phone was pure, S-On, and run Android ver 2.3.5.
P/S 2: i think in the process, my usb cable wasn't properly connected (not my fault, DHD is a old device), cos i heard the sound of something plug in and out my pc many many times

Is your volume rocker flaw? That seems to be a hardware issue and not software. Maybe it got stuck and that is why it boots to recovery..

I don't rly know much of rooting a phone, but when i use AAHK tool, it asked me if i want to load some "RUU" file and install it, i said Yes.
If that is not what u're talking, please give some construction.

Are you able to boot in hboot? You don't need recovery to flash a RUU..paste the information displayed in your hboot here...
Ok, first download the zip I've attached to this post. Extract the contents, run 'Start here.bat'. Now, on your phone, go back to the hboot screen, connect your phone to your computer, and press 'power'. Verify that the phone shows 'FASTBOOT USB' in red. Now go to the cmd window that opened with 'Start here.bat', and type (or copy-paste) from here -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-ace.img
When it finishes and displays a 'success' message, exit cmd, disconnect your phone, use 'volume down' to highlight 'recovery' and press power to select it. Your phone will boot into this new recovery which is called TWRP. TWRP and 4ext are the best recoveries for this device. CWM is outdated, especially the version you're using. Now using this recovery, wipe your device properly by running wiping 'system' and 'factory reset/data' in the wipe menu, and then flash whatever ROM you want. It should work fine.
Note: If it fails, then you've done something and you don't have an S-OFF bootloader anymore. As long as your bootloader has the same top line as in the picture you posted, you're good. If you have run an RUU either on your own or using AAHK, and you have an S-ON bootloader now, connect your phone back in hboot mode, enable 'FASTBOOT USB' and run AAHK again. You'll end up with an S-OFF bootloader, and you can follow the above step.
Also, the sound of your phone disconnecting and connecting repeatedly to your computer was not a problem with the USB cable. It happens everytime AAHK reboots the phone, because the phone disconnects while turning off and connects back when turning on. AAHK failed the second time you ran it because it you already got a fully unlocked S-OFF bootloader in the first try. It only works if the bootloader is locked.

you can not use flash commands in fasboot as you don't have ENG S-OFF (do not flash the tradicional but the modified one in the Hack Kit)
Or flash the zip file in fastboot this way:
Boot in fastboot usb (check that in the phone is display that)
Put this zip file somewhere you can find it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2d8xxQzn5owMkpCQlBibkU2amM/edit?usp=sharing.
Open a cmd as admin in the PC
Go to where the recovery zip folder is located (in cmd)
And then type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (when you get the OKAY in the cmd session you are done)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When finished, you should have CWM recovery installed

Thank you, all steps has worked, but it seems that nothing has changed. The phone reboot and still stuck at the famous CWM screen.

Then maybe you have another solution ?
I'm still waiting for you guys :hopefully:
Yeah. If you still have S-OFF, connect your phone in fast boot and run AAHK. Choose the option to flash ENG hboot and flash the 0.85.2425 version. Once it's done, you'll see 'ACE PVT ENG S-OFF' at the top. Now you can do again what I said in the previous post.

Because you are trying to open he Hack Kit normally, but your phone does not boot so adb can't be used. Boot in fastboot usb and then open a cmd as admin and navigate to where the hack kit is located, then type:

That should bring the menu to flash ENG S-OFF...

You are S-Off with no recovery. Just flash one from fastboot and flash a ROM from there. Instructions in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature.

No. glevitan's guide in post #7 has a section about being S-Off with no recovery.
sorry I read all in that post but I can't find .... please help :|
I try to flash the recovery img (using adb) but don't work (no allowed)...... Soo, what i have to do ?
Is not my first root but this is different :|
The linked PDF guide...? There's a section around page 8 or 9 that talks about being S-Off with no recovery.
I see this:
But in step 5 the mirror is deleted and i can't download it and in steps 6 and 7 i don't understand .. :| give me a good steps exactly for me ( remember i don't have acces the root, only $), i remain indebted.
Code:
S-OFF with no custom recovery : you need to reflash a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom room again. Follow this steps:
1) Boot in hboot and choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone to the pc ( you have to see fastboot in red in the phone )
3) Open cmdas admin or terminal as root in the pc.
4) type ( case sensitive ) :
5) wget "link" -no- check certificate
6) Fastboot oem rebootRUU ( that will put your phone in RUU mode, witch black screen with silver HTC )
7) Fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (it will send the firt and then flash it)
8) When you see OKAY. Finished (ner the button in the cmd session even if the green bar in the phone is at half way).
9) Fastboot reboot-bootloader.
10) Voila..check and you should have CWM again.

Certainly, your highness. Download a recovery image. Flash it from fastboot. Flash a ROM from recovery. If you want more detail you need to search. The answers are all available.

are you even in hboot??? maybe you should do some research...that is a step by step detailed way on flashing a recovery. Device 101 is your homework.
BTW, MissB is not a Man...at least is what her signature says...:laugh:
the same i try to fastboot :|
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' <6092 KB>...
OKAY [ 1.018s ]
writing 'recovery' ...
FAILED <remote: not allowed>
finished. total time: 1.021s
Is your phone in fastboot mode?? Select it from hboot.

so the fastboot Prevents custom rom or recovery to install
it is just allows ruu ROM

Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,
Dominik
Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

Yeah, it's working, thanks a lot!
I tried to boot with "back + Power" several times.... but without USB connected...
EDIT: No, it wasn't regarding USB...
This only works from time to time, more less then more.. (hopefully you know what I mean)
Okay, now I have a way to get into the recovery, a big step forward!!
What now?
I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:
How to replace the actual existing Recovery with the booted 4ext one?
On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

I know and this worked yesterday, but it started with problems, as mentioned above.
Today I never had access..

Need help with my HTC Desire!

So I formatted my SD card and now when I turn on my phone, all i get is a splash screen that says revolutionary 2.1+3.0. I cant do anything from there, none of the buttons work or anything.
edit: i just realized that my phone has s-on but how do i disable this

Edit 2: Sorry for the lack of information. I just used revolutionary and it says s-off now and I was able to flash the cm rom using fastboot from android sdk. Now it is stuck in a bootloop (i think?) and it just says android on the screen and wont go anywhere else.
i now have revoultionary cwm v4.0.1.4 installed...

before, i think i could boot into android but nothing would work. i couldnt touch anything and the physical buttons did nothing.
thanks!
One does not simply disable s-on.
Post your bootloader details. Does the phone boot into android?

i have s-off now using revolutionary but my phone is not booting... just stuck at a screen that has "android" across it and it looks like its just forever loading.
when i first go into my bootloader, it quickly loads something and i believe it says no img file. i formatted my sd card and everything was erased.

Try going to recovery, and wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache.

thanks for the suggestion but when i go into recovery, i cannot select any of the options. i hit the power button and the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. i hit the power button again and it goes back to the recovery menu.
i installed cm but maybe i need some other sort of image? when i formatted my sd card everything was erased including the os, htc sense, etc.

This will probably fix your problem:
1. Download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1631968&d=1357780284
And install it using these instructions (ignore the stuff about the 2.3 RUU):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298337&postcount=21
It's 4ext recovery.
2. Download a GB rom, like MildWild :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467
And flash it. This ROM will surely boot.

thank you so much for your help so far. i have installed 4ext recovery but when i boot into recovery to install the mildwild rom, it says unable to mount the sd card.
i tried using the usb unbrick tool from the 4xt recovery and that didnt work.
i used the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0; fastboot oem eraseconfig commands in fastboot which didnt work (if i typed the commands wrong here, they are just from memory)
i redownloaded the mtd0.img and flashed it using fastboot and that didnt work either.
any ideas?

Do you have any other sd-cars laying around? Try it instead.
If not, format your sd-card again. I don't know what's wronf with it, but it seems it has some problems.

Update: i think my fastboot doesnt work for some reason... flashing the rom and mtd0.img didnt work but when i just copied them into my sd card directly it did work fine. my rom is installed...
also when i go into hboot, it still says no image...

Fastboot works fine.
1. You can't install a ROM through fastboot. Only images.
2. The 'No image' thing comes when you don't have a pb99img.zip on your sd-card. The bootloader scans the sd-card for that zip.
