Because einstein removed that feature a long time ago. However there is a built-in performance enhancer, it works great.

Okay -- I'll host the HtcLockScreenLite.apk myself then. Here's the link.

Remember that this version of the file has MY lockring in it. I didn't bother saving the stock lockring because it seemed pointless. Just follow my instructions above and it'll work great.

Something I just learned -- when I tried to flash Nameless v6 overtop of v5, I had to flash the new boot.img in the archive that Nameless v6 is in.

It will boot with the old boot.img BUT you cannot use HtcLockScreenLite.apk and a few other things are wonky

. I'll fix my flashing instructions above.

Also -- what's the file in your link? PLEASE edit your post to be very clear about what is in a link -- it's just good policy ;). I'm assuming its a new version of Google voice search?

EDIT: Oh cool, it's Google Now! for our device, should have read your title. I installed it on my Desire but it doesn't seem to be working very well.

I'm not sure what you mean -- can we make WHAT work on the stock? Please be more specific!

As I mentioned above, be careful as I tried this kernel BUT it ran slower than the standard one for v6 because it's not properly written with the new ROM!! Please be VERY careful if you flash a different boot.img -- ESPECIALLY if it's overclocked!! This is a GREAT way to PERMANENTLY brick your beautiful phone!! Don't turn it into a paperweight -- follow the instructions carefully! I experimented a bit and got bad results. Your best bet is to stick with the boot.img that einstein.frat includes with v6.

Thanks for the support everyone!! You guys are helping keep me busy!

[How To][For Newbs]SIM Unlock of Desire C

So thank you VERY VERY much to user fkofilee we now have a SIM unlock for this phone!!

I know many users will be very excited, when I first got this phone it took me a LONG while to crack the code on my own, per se. Luckily I had some good online friends to help but it wasn't that easy!! Now we have a simply way to crack it.

EDIT: So I just tested this, and because my phone is ALREADY unlocked I didn't get any info, but the script worked as intended. Let me know what happens on a locked phone.

I'm going to make the instructions very easy for anyone out there who is less confident.

SIM UNLOCK FOR HTC DESIRE C

So first of all, you need to download this file. If there's any problem with the link later, let me know and I'll host the file myself.

Inside that .rar file there's a copy of ADB and the .dll's if you don't already have them. If you don't know what I mean, go back and read the first post in this thread to familiarize yourself with how to use ADB.

Extract simfinder.txt to your android folder (C:\Android)

Now open cmd and dir to your C:\Android

Type the following lines (I'm choosing to do the easier method, there's another method in the original post) EDIT: I changed the steps a little bit to avoid remounting SDcard as rw

[LIST]
[*][SIZE=3][B]adb shell sysrw[/B][/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=3][B]adb push simfinder.txt /[SIZE=3]system[/SIZE]/simfinder.sh
[/B][/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=3][B]adb shell[/B][/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=3][B]su[/B][/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=3][B]sh /[SIZE=3]system[/SIZE]/simfinder.sh[/B][/SIZE]
[/LIST]

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: After the third step (adb shell) you are now running an interactive shell on the device so you don't need to type adb before the commands after this -- it's just like a linux prompt for those of you that have used linux.

After you type the last command in you'll get a few lines of code back that will look like the following:

[B]“Searching mmcblk0p7...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 00000170
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 11111111”[/B]

The line after /dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 11111111 should be your SIM unlock code. Write this down and enter it in after you swtich to a new SIM card.

Type exit and hit enter, twice, to get back to command prompt

Now type adb shell rm /system/simfinder.sh if you're done with the file

If you have any problems let me know and I'll smooth the wrinkles out!!!

PRESS THANKS IF THIS HELPED YOU!!! :good::good::good::good:

Keep up the good work :)

Ye I was running V5 up untill last night so the OC Kernel was working just fine for me (had been using it for weeks) I'm running v6 now so I'm sticking with the kernel that came with it , though I see einstein.frat reckons you can mod v6 so it'll run the OC .

Just an additional question :) ,I also use CWM Touch Recovery by munjeni and have noticed the sim unlock button in the Recovery . Is it just a dummy button ? I always assumed it was there because it worked ( I have no wish to unlock my sim atm).
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
There is a charge for unlocking your sim via that method.... in all honesty , there is no risk to unlocking your SIM...

Thing is it does work but it gives you some sort of code etc,
[HTC Desire C] beanaroo:
Wow! Thank you so much, guys!

Especially AirCombat, you put a lot of effort into this. It does not go unappreciated. :highfive:

What are the benifits of unlocking the sim card? Can I use the sim in my Desire C and put it in my old LG Xenon and it would work fine?

Sent from the Battlefield using the Support class
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
It allows you to use any sim card from any provider in the world :) ^__^ providing your phone supports it. The sim card you have can be put in the LG Xenon, providing of course you have that device unlocked.

Running into an issue rooting my phone..

I've got my phone unlocked just fine. That was easy. Figured rooting it would be easier. I'm following the directions exactly. When I run 'install-superboot-windows.bat', the cmd prompt comes up, says 'done', then closes. My phone does a short vibrate, then sits at a screen with the HTC logo and red text that says "This build is for development purposes only.... etc." I've let it sit like that for an hour and it does nothing.

Also, since unlocking the phone, none of the options such as factory reset at the boot loader menu are working. They take me to that same screen with the red text. Any ideas? My service provider is Cricket, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I bought the phone through them 3 days ago. Would really like to get this thing rooted if possible.
[HTC Desire C] andrewtjb:
I think your phone is cdma? Your gonna have a lot of problems using the methods in this thread since they are for the gsm version of this phone. So be careful as there's been people with bricked phones from doing this.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
I actually believe the CDMA should work for phone unlock.... i think what your issue is that you flashed a GSM mod / root file / radio for your device and it turns it into a brick sadly :(

Trying to think about how to restore but i think you wont have any luck as i cant see there being any RUU.exe for your device.
[HTC Desire C] jmelton3:
All I did was unlock it and follow the directions here for rooting it. I haven't flash anything else onto the phone. The problem started after I unlocked it following the instructions at htcdev. The phone boots and works just fine. But I get that error when I choose any options at the bootloader screen or try to run the file to root it.
[HTC Desire C] AirCombat:
EDIT: I'm afraid the above posts are correct. If it's not a GSM phone none of these programs will work.

That being said, try to find a root for a CDMA phone and it may fix it.

@jmelton3 Hmm... I've never had a problem with superboot-windows locking things up. You can still get into the bootloader though you said?

And you've already unlocked the bootloader? Are you sure you're pushing the buttons right? Remember you have to do a battery pull before you can access those options, or you have to use ADB to reboot into bootloader / recovery.

If you can, try installing CWM touch recovery when you get into the bootloader.
[HTC Desire C] jmelton3:
Ya, I'm pushing the right buttons. I've been in contact with HTC, they're working on adding the HTC Desire C to HTCDev but there is no ETA on this.

At this point I'm going to leave the phone as is or try to find a CDMA root.
[HTC Desire C] einstein.frat:
If you have a link to cdma ruu I can make a root for it by modifying boot.img and, making a flashable zip to push supersu and su, and maybe a rom.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
At present no CDMA Rom exists for the Golf... :( , so might be a bit out of luck on that one...

If i find one... ill keep you updated.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this tuto. I got a sim locked HTC desire c that I want unlocked before christmas. Yes, I have a short deadline ;)

I have rooted succesfully the device with the totu on the first page and I tried to sim unlock it. It's not really easy to do :(

First thing : I don't have sysrw on the phone so I can't transfer your script. I doesn't matter, I'm a linux admin and I know to do a for in command line.

Second thing : I don't have neither grep, neither strings, neither a lot a classic linux command in the shell. I solved that by installing busybox. Now, I can run a strings command on a device file and grep it.

Third thing : the grep with the regular expression find nothing :( I believe that the regular expression doesn't work as it should. So I get the strings result as this and tried to filter manually. My question is, what I'm looking for exactly ? a value starting by [0-9]8 ?

Please advice on that point. I can test on my sim locked phone and help to modify the simlock.sh script

Regards

Laurent
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
I originally wrote the guide so maybe i can be of some help :), what your looking for is a set of 8 digits which is your unlock code :), and as for pushing the file :), you push the file to the root of the sd card hich should be \sdcard :)

The script is designed to be run from the SD card, thats where your going wrong fella haha :) try my original guide instead :)

[HTC Desire C] AirCombat:
Writing to /

By the way, the reason I changed the guide to pushing it to /sdcard is because I personally had trouble pushing it to the root. Even after adb shell sysrw or remount it STILL wouldn't let me write to the root directory. I was in a hurry writing the guide so I figured /sdcard would work just as well... Apparently not lol.

If there's anything else I'm forgetting to write to / let me know and I'll change the guide.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
How come you were pushing it too root? I meant Sd root haha :) , thats how i managed to get it working when i wrote the guide ^__^
[HTC Desire C] tartampion38:
Hi

Maybe you can add to install busybox as prerequisite

The command "busybox --install -s /system/xbin" works fine. -s is to create symbolic links instead of hard link

stuck at boot animation

HI Guys!

After restoring a CWM backup (same rom, same kernel) the phone stuck at the boot animation. Any tips, formatting system for example?

EDIT:

I formatted system also (along with cache and dalvik), and it works now! Although I need to configure everything again... But thanks for the attention:p Hope it will still benefit for someone.

EDIT EDIT:

I did a restore from my backup again, now on the system wiped and restored backup (same backup), and now it restored my settings too, except sync.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

I just noticed my apps, except the built-in ones keep crashing, what a mess...

FINAL EDIT:

This time, I formatted data as well, and now everything seems to work fine. This was my recovery diary, thank you all:)

Merry Xmas everyone

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around lately, there's been a death in my in-laws family (a very close death actually) and so life has been a bit of a trainwreck the past few days.

@fkofilee Okay that makes a lot of sense. I just thought someone had said they were getting errors from there. However when I ran it from there it seemed fine. I'm correct in saying that it worked fine on my phone when I got the same output at in the example in the original thread? My phone had already been unlocked through a different method, so that's why I figured I was just getting a generic response from the script.

@tartampion38 I don't have much experience with BusyBox -- could you help explain why it would be useful here?

@neoyoli Glad it all worked out! Let me know if you need any other help :)

Thanks everyone and (try) to have a merry holiday season! I hope you all got some work/school off to be with family and friends. Even if you're not religious I see this as a welcome break to see and be with the people you love.

Take care of each other and when we're all back we'll put some more work into this phone ;)

Is rooting a prerequisite to SIM-Unlock?

First backup using cwm recovery before flashing nameless v5.0.0 a while back, I changed fonts around on my device and got into a boot loop. I got back to the bootloader than to recovery. I tried to restore but there was a bad md5 checksum. I just flashed nameless v7 and for the most part everything went fine. Would like to know what went wrong?

It was my first backup ever for this device. I was using CWM Touch Recovery
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
This is a common error with CWM ^_^

Create a text file called nandroid.md5

Place on root of the sdcard on which the backup is placed.

It should fix your problems with backups as it will note that the MD5 sum is blank and flash with no issues.

CWM workaround

I also had problems with CWM, it didn't restore my data because it restarted just before finishing the recovery, and I always had to configure everything all over again... So I followed nikhil16242's advice:

First of all you need a full backup, which contains all the files (for me if CWM doesn't restart at the end of backing up, I have everything - but who knows what does it depend on if it finishes or not). Also, I did a system wipe / factory reset, and took out the battery before recovery. Once when I didn't, it stuck at the boot screen, don't know if it is connected.

1. When restoring the backup it restarts before finishing. Let it boot and then boot to CWM again.

2. Go to backup and restore >> advanced restore >> first you restore cache >> and then restore data

It still reboots, but restores your precious data :laugh:

Hopefully we can get around with this until someone updates munjeni's CWM.

Thanks for nikhil16242 for this :good:
