guy's i'm using a Bravo here in Pakistan, its on 2.2.1 i've rooted with recovery, the issue is that everytime i flash another rom it asks for the "input network pin" prompt and i got no signals and no network, no one can unlock the phone here, but yes on froyo i've got my network, thankfully i restored a backup that i made and i get my network back... any one can help me get my phone fully unlocked so i can flash other roms other than froyo?
I would move this topic from Bravo Android Development over to Bravo General because there is where all of the Q&A topics should go. Just my suggestion, tho.
yes this should be moved, but answering your question @jafferkhan, it happened to me before, it is because you bought an cheap unlock code, everytime you flash it, it will ask for the unlock code, buy the code from another server, I know one that worked for me before, or try direct unlock with sigma key, all this methods are paid services

hey juan, thanks for the prompt response, you guys have helped me understand a lot about this phone, yes you're right, i think i will need to get it unlocked, but the entire phone cost me less than 15 dollars here where i am, and i know that it's been softunlocked, to run on 2.2.1 which is why when i upgrade it, it won't unlock, if you can, how to soft unlock it on CM7.2? so i will keep it on that only and it stays unlocked to use it on that
I don't think you could soft unlock this because there is no soft unlock for the Bravo yet like there is for the Defy. Yes, I did suggest you try the Defy soft unlock as a last resort thru PM but it didn't work. Juan seems to know more about this than I do, even I had no idea there was a difference between normal unlock codes and "cheap" ones that only work once. If anything, just find a ROM you would be comfortable staying on and buy another one of those cheap one time use unlock codes Juan talked about in his previous post. I know in my country I have seen cheap unlock codes go for around 2 US Dollars but I don't know how that would translate to Pakistan currency.

If you are interested there is a used Motorola Bravo that is about 55 USA dollars on Amazon (and there's a new version for about 80 USA dollars). It is locked to Consumer Cellular, but it is running 2.2.2 Froyo which a lot of Motorola Bravo developers REALLY REALLY want. You see, most Motorola Bravo phones only run Android 2.2.1 but ONLY CONSUMER CELLULAR VERSIONS RUN ANDROID 2.2.2 SO FINDING ONE WITH 2.2.2 IS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER. Here is a link to the Amazon product page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
EDIT: I actually made a mistake. The one for 50 USA dollars is actually not used, it is new as well.
If you were to get this and it is running 2.2.2 Froyo as its Android version, me and the rest of the Motorola Bravo fans out there would ask you to first perform a system dump of all the Android 2.2.2 files before replacing the Android version with another ROM. To see what I am talking about with the whole Android 2.2.2 on Motorola Bravo thing (and to learn how to perform a system dump as well) take a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200602
@jasonmerc 55usd is too high, you can buy an atrix by 60
It was the lowest price I have seen for this phone anywhere. He told me he bought his phone in Pakistan where he is, and he said he bought it off of some guy and not on an online service like Amazon. So when it comes to buying one where you are (Santo Domingo) an online service might be your only easy option to buying a phone.

hi,guys,I got my inc2 S-OFF、Root、Recovery with chinese and network unlock！
The method to get s-off on the inc2 is not the same as incs, the S58 file is not the same. I haven't the s58 file for incs2,but today ,i found a person to get the inc2 s-off,but not to use xtc clip,now my incs2 is s-off and unlock.and can use gsm、WCDMA、CDMA SIM、USIM and UIM card，in china ，CDMA Network must use UIM Card，but he didn't tell me the method,I pay for it about 50 RMB,you can see this web，there are photos of my inc2:
the outsidelinks "ACD168 " had told us
I am a new user are not permitted to post outside links in their messages，
who can tell me how to post outsidelinks and upload photos??
Best way is to make some posts in other threads

He paid someone to unlock the phone. Most likely used a sim unlock clip. Nothing to see here.
it is the first known inc2 S-OFF though.

XTC doesn't support the Incredible 2 yet (it supports Incredible S). So the fact that it has been unlocked is at least a step in the right direction. XTC Pay-As-You-Go might be worth the money at this point.
I'd gladly pay something to have my inc2 S-off!
Please keep the discussion development-oriented so that this topic isn't locked. Please take any meta-discussions to the General area.
Thanks!
If we can get S-Off on our Inc2's, would the temporary root as stated before, be used to gain full time root access?

So, this might be a stupid question, but in regards to s-off, I know that up until recently on my INC (ADR6300), I did NOT have s-off on my INC, (until when I needed to flash my radio firmware so my video camera would work) and I was able to load whatever rom I wanted. Granted, I did use unrevoked initially to get perm root, so I am assuming that is the reason that we are stuck on the INC2's? (ADR6350)
Obviously, the end goal is to get S-off, but before that we would be OK (more or less) if we could just write to /system, right?

It isn't promising because he took it to somebody else who looks to have used a hardware clip to unlock it, whereas we're looking for software solutions.
in that sense, then yes... looks like it. but i was pretty ready to get a clip to get it working. the way i see it, as long as we are not too far behind IS's root development, then it's good news
It reminds me of the dss days. People would pay alot of money for "Special hardware and software" to unlock. Then a few months later a cheap software update would come up for free to everyone. Lets just hope this is how it goes with the new lock downs companies are implementing with their new phones.
plzzzz pro guys we need cracked the S-ON on the Wildfire S via software >>> im verry tired serching for but no one answer and no body care plz plz plz we need a solution for this !!!
there is no software to crack s-on. you need an xtc clip, or find a shop with one to make it s-off.
is s-off or s-on in bootloader? can we copy it from s-offed phones?
Hardware only for now. Unless you can convince the alpharevx team to try and crack it.

Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..
I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..
My 2 cents.
On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS
I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread
There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you
Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?
At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.
Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?

First of all sorry to jump on old thread.but I want to clear something wrong here.This box named with LG tool actually is partner with setool box.Hardware interface is setool box as additional security and you can use setool services too(for Soy Ericsson all mobiles flashing and unlocking including old to latest one) as well LG tool too. You have to purchase setool box first and than pay activation charges for LG tool only once.After that you can do unlocking more than 4500 mobiles including Samsung htc Hawaii zte (adnroid) and many more.Even most of them are just like give ime and get code instantly.But that box is for gsm technicians not for an individual.When they take start LG tool it was free for trial and testing period like approx one year and we do unlock many mobiles without paying a $.Now when trial period is over there is an activation.And you can use certain unlocks with in 24 hours just to avoid spamming and stable the unlocking market.Yes there is an option for S/off and more than that you can unlock any htc as well as you can repair imei too and backup nvram and etc.... I think that is clear enough now but if some one got any question regarding it I can show screen shot too.And by the way I am just biggest fan and old user of this product.Dont forget the Laser who leaked the xperia security he is real brain behind the setool...
@ Gloris everything is available on their support site but you must be member and user of the box....
here is screenshot a
lgtool.net/img/lgtool_htc.png
Please don't ask how, why, when or whatever else!
This is only a general question to all of you
I'm thinking since two weeks to ask the community if there is an interest to get S-OFF on the HTC One X device.
BUT!!!!!!!
We need to buy some hardware for this - and that's the main problem.
We have found an option to S-OFF devices but to cover the cost's we need to charge 20 Euro for each device (include shipping)
Currently there is no other way to make it possible and it seems HTC will not release something for doing this.
We have done a test on a HTC 8 and HTC One X device and it's working. From this point of view I guess we can cover almost every HTC device. But this is a different story. Even my own device is still S-ON.
The Plan:
We will create a page where you can order the S-OFF option for almost EVERY HTC device. You can pay via PayPal or add the money within your shipping package.
We was trying to make a remote solution but this is not working at the moment but I hope we can release this within the future. At the moment we have no chance for some tests. Why? Because of the missing hardware
The next problem is that you need to ship the device to GERMANY. We will make it S-OFF and SuperCID it which will not revert when you flash it and ship it back on the same day.
Bevore we do the invest and starting with all the things which are required, I want to ask all of you if you are interested about this.
At the moment we are all not happy about this solution and I'm not a friend of this way. But it is a way and we hope HTC will think about S-OFF within the future.
My question to all of you:
ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!
First, on which base we can believe you?
You didn't provide any evident that you or your team are able to S-OFF any HTC device. Moreover, you even mentioned that your own device is still S-ON.
My answer:
No, I am not interested in s-off when it costs me 20 euro and having to ship it to an anonymous person who said so on internet.
My max amount for a real s-offing is 5 euro and giving that s-off-ing is instantly.

Sure, don't care about the fact possible or not.
It's just a question if we can cross charge the cost. This is what I want to see, 5 Euro is an example. But with this price we would need round about 800 (!) devices.

I know... But it makes no sence to me to buy equipment for 4000 Euro to unlock my device and trash everything after I have S-OFF.
On the second hand it makes no sence to me to unlock my device because no one is able to support unlocked devices. (F***K)

Given that we cannot prove if it's true or not, and required shipping my device to an anonymous person in another nation, there's NO WAY I can risk it and 20 euro.

ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!
My Answer to you: :good::good::good:YEEEESSS:good::good::good:
I have no Problem with the 20€, because there are many Tools/Mods which need S-Off and this is worth it to me.
And when a trusted Member of XDA is the Person, who will recive the Phone, I will also have no Problem with that.
Sorry for my bad English

He is currently not able to s-off anything. I think he wanted to collect the money ,so he can buy some sort of JTAG/Flashbox. Although I don't know what costs 4000 euro!
Anyway this misleading thread. I'd recommend the OP to ask any mod so they close it.
Like Xmoo said, this method is known for a long time. But without a remote solution it is no option for me. I'm not going to send my phone to Germany. Main reason: I simply need my phone. The money is not the problem, I would pay 20 euro in a heart beat for S-Off.

Don't care at the moment if it's working. This is not the question if it is working. Be sure, wenn we have it, we will release this here at XDA.
We also was thinking about this "S-OFF Drive-In" solution and be sure even this will be possible.
Come, S-OFF, enjoy & Go!
We don't have a problem to do it within this way.
Right now I want to know if someone else would pay for this. Not to become rich, just to cover the invest!

The solution!!!!
We also could open a project like "bread for the world" and try to collect the money. Maybe within 5 years we got it
We are dealing since weeks on this. But if you start the project "S-OFF for the world" I also would spend 10 or 20 Euro's for this. But this will be not a solution when I will be the only one idiot who will spend for this project.
Give me a other solution and we will do it.

No problem! I just ordered mine via TopCashBack and it shows £13.71 cashback should be received after a few weeks (not always guaranteed though) so although I had to get a £10 top up plus the phone, it should cost about £67 with cashback recieved etc so I think that's not bad for a brand new Defy+, albeit locked to the Three network.
Well it arrived, totally unbranded and unlocked to any network. It's identical in every respect to the retail unlocked Defy+ that I bought from Amazon last year.
So, no sign of any network branding or locks whatsoever. A great deal I think.
I have ordered one too.
Hope it comes unlocked the same. Ordered mine from 3 online, where did you order yours from?

Yeah I got mine from Three as well as per the link in my first post.... I'm very pleased with it.... I guess they're just shifting old stock, the battery manufactured date was July 2012.
Just bought one form a three shop, as my old defy is battered - scrathed screen, broken battery cover, dust under the screen missing usb port cover adn so on.
As i am already on three, i didnt have to pay for a £10 top up, and it only cost £69.99, the phone is completly unlocked and will work with any sim card.

Yep, exactly the same as what I got..... when you went into the 3 store what proof do they need that you're an existing customer? I'm just wondering if I can go in with my new 3 PAYG sim that I got with my new Defy+ and buy another one without buying a topup?
All they asked for was my phone number and my name that was it.
at the moent im now trying to root the thing, BL7s a different beast.
As for the rest of it, the differnce in feel between a well used Defy thats had more than its fair share of knocks and one fresh out of the box is substantial

I recently rooted my other BL7 Defy+ using a guide from here, it wasn't hard and I'll try to find the info. I just used RSDLite, the two files and bingo.
Well, actually I loaded the second file first and got the phone stuck, rebooted and tried again and bingo!
Here's the link that worked for me, choose the two files for EU and don't use one CN and one EU file.

Ive found the guide, just waiting for the files to download - 4 minutes to go ( alegedly)
went to CEX just out of interest to see if my old defy was worth anything - and the answer was no.
The only reason why im still using an old 'outdated' phone is that there is nothing on the market that has the following
Rugged ( water resitant)
SD card
removable battery
Doesnt look pig ugly
As for stock in the three shops, out of Three stores available, only one had stock - as they had been selling like 'hot cakes' to quote one store sales bod.
currently using this guide

Having never had a Motorola android before, what is the best info regarding root and ROM installing.
Have done it to death on HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S.
Going to read through the link from your post spannerz, and maybe see from there.
I usually like to watch a YouTube video for first timer like me.

Now rooted, what ROMs can I installed now?
All seems a bit confusing really. Would like to install CM7 or CM10, but all this Defy+ and BL7 etc has got me stumped.
I have been reading page after page, but not tryed yet.
Any advice?
Chill.........
