Help Needed - I'm desperate!!!!

Hello,
I desperately need some help. So please, please can somebody rescue me....
My girlfriend bought a HTC Touch Dual from ebay which was locked to the Orange Network in the UK. I tried to unlock the phone for her so she could use her Vodafone SIM and have made a right mess! I used an eight-step process on one of the threads on this forum and got completley lost.
Firstly, I don't really know what I'm doing, and have no idea what a 'radio', 'rom', etc is. In fact, in reading these forums I realise how out of my depth I am.
Would somebody be able to help me out. Not necesarily with unlocking, but just getting the unit back to working order - i.e. so the cameras work, the sound works, the screen responds to my taps, the wireless card works, etc...
Please remember I know nothing about these machines, so you will need to use VERY simple explanation!!
Thank you in advance,
Gary

My best advice is, try and flash a rom on the device for the device(learn how to first, you don't need to know all the details involved just the process, and what to download), then buy a cheap unlocking solution online.
I would suggest this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021.
Here is how to flash a rom on to an HTC device: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide

Thank you for your help...
I'll take a look at your links.
Still don't know what a 'radio' or a 'ROM' is! Any clues welcome...
Thanks again - I appreciate it

I give you 20 minutes to reach me if not then I'm out.

I have had a look at the links and am completely lost.
Please don't underestimate my lack of mobile I.T. skills - I really don't know what I'm doing!
Can anyone simply tell me what to do, step-by-step, without any jargon, to get a workable handheld?
Mabe this will set the scene... Imagine you need to explain it to an 80 year old Grandmother...
Thanks again

Future Developer(Tips & Tricks)

Hi guys, I'm currently a senior Computer Science major about to graduate in the next year, and a half. I've been really interested in Android development, and wanted to inquire from the pro's and how they learnt to create, edit, and make such software. So far I haven't been exposed to many real world applications of programming, but any tips that could be provided would be very appreciated!

Glad to help!!!

These are awesome links, I've been recently reading Programming Android by Mr. Zigurd Mednieks. So far it's pretty good, and it's builds upon my previous knowledge of Java(which I haven't used in a while).

You sir need to find the correct section. It's called Q and A. This section is development, for those that have developed something to post new topics. And you also might want to look into the iPhone 5. Sounds like that might be the more user-friendly type of device you need.

hahahah iphone 5 ahhaqhhah

sorry about that. well im new to all this forum stuff but i found my solution...thanks for making me feel unwanted... IPHONE 5...hahah you know your only projecting your desires of owning one... So i apologize if i hurt your feelings or if you get off on coming off like a pretentious webby bottom feeder. you look for the first opportunity to make someone feel the way must feel everyday since being bullied in middle school. Anyways this will be my last visit and if a admin would like to delete my account please do so. Because if this is how a Senior Member then id like out..

I've got to agree with Aevia here. You were neither very helpful, nor very kind in your response. It's responses like this that are the worst thing about the xda community.

I Want To Try Flashing To Boost Myself....Need Help!

I want to try flashing this phone to Boost myself. I've had it on Verizon Prepay and Page Plus. I paid to have it flashed to them so now I want to try to flash it myself since I have a Boost phone I can use as a donor. The only problem is I have no idea what the hell to do:laugh:
I have all the "free" versions of flashing software and a guide to flash to Boost but I know this phone is difficult to flash because its hard to get the 3G keys to stick so I'm sure the guide won't cover everything. Anyway, if someone would like to help me out I would be eternally grateful and can donate a little if need be. PM me to get my Email add. or text if you would rather do it that way.

WOW....Thanks for all the help guys......LOL

You're asking about something that few people need to do, much less know how to do. I was looking into a similar thing recently and I know that it is possible, but not easy and not for someone unfamiliar to flashing and whatnot. Not saying you, just saying. I would start here:
http://mike446.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Flash-your-cell-phone
and here
http://www.wikihow.com/Flash-a-Phone
here
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...phone-on-Boost-CDMA-101-Questions-and-answers
and maybe even here

If you need CDMAtool, I may be able to help. Good luck :good:

I am familiar with a few of these but my main problem is that this phone has some kind of lock on it keeping you from setting " keys " and the password for the keys when you try to get your data going. Its really different than any I've seen so far. Thank you for replying to my quest and giving me the links. If you or any one you know that might have some insight you are willing to share about what I mentioned I would really appreciate it.

Did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to do that same thing, I'm exactly where you're at minus the guide to flash to Boost. I have a guide for the Evo 4G but not this phone.

[Q] HELP!

Sprint/GS3 can't update or download apps from store.
And I get this message every time. Please help?

Use descriptive titles. "Help" doesn't say anything about your problem.
This is the i9300 section, which you apparently don't have

Clear app cache in application manager..then restart your phone.

I've already tried that several times. Thanks any other suggestions?

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM! Provide sys info, logcats, ROM ver, kernel ver, etc!!!!!! (Sorry, this required excessive use of exclamation marks)
Tell us what you think may be the problem.
Use the correct forum! We no do Sprint shiz here!
Try using WiFi, if using 3G/4G. If using 3G/4G, try using WiFi. Tell us if it helped so we can bash our heads against other random things!

you won't get help here, this is not a forum for your device

I understand that this is the wrong forum and I tried to open and place it there kept getting sever error so I placed it here. No head bashing needed completely stock sprint no computer not rooted. Thanks for the help just gonna replace the thing.
