First Try method 2 if didnt work try method 1 ... just do it until you succeed :D
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
His problem is he doesnt have the right busybox app installed as some apps do just more than install busybox :)
[HTC Desire C] addictz10:
Install busy box app from play store...

Which busybox is the "right busy box" or one that works for the sim unlock. there are quite a few to choose from.

will this work on my HTC HD2 T-Mobile 576mb?
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
You are viewing the Desire C forum. Yes it will definitely work try it.

Please tell me you have common sense. It won't.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
No.......................................

That is all
[HTC Desire C] brpqzme:
Using method 2, after typing

adb push simfinder.txt /sdcard/simfinder.sh

I get

failed to copy 'simfinder.txt' to '/sdcard/simfinder.sh': Permission denied

Any way to fix that?

This thread has been updated to offer some better self help.

If you run into any issues, just inbox me.

Its been a pleasure helping you guys unlock your devices :)
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
:confused: I'm not sure about that! I've just got around to finally unlocking it, HTC Bootloader Unlocked, rooted (SU (TWRP Installed to xbin) and r1 golf Superboot dumped in /root (Update and reflash had it back in the /system)) and good old Stericson BusyBox with ......

Stock ROM

[odex, bloat, yada yada!!] ..... although I must ensure it's taken with a fully working Network SIM and not just a WIFI Dongle SIM, so i'll update it later ;) .....now to find another SIM.... is it worth paying a fiver just to find out :confused:

later ;)
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
Right how strange, never worked on stock for me or anyone else i helped unlocked but awesome if it does.

Wifi dongle sim? do you mean Mobile internet?

They work just as well as any normal SIM, whack it in and it should work.
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Vodaphone WIFI Dongle SIM ... it is possible it's not active so it could just be the SIM CARD passed, but not on the Network - hence I still have to try a working SIM Card to check although 'Preferred Network' is now selectable not pre-set as with initial stock phone.

Checked it :-

TalkTalk SIM

Registered Immediately

TXT MSGS to update for SMS/MSS Settings

Called home number...

:highfive: Sorted :victory:
[HTC Desire C] sajeel:
great stuff managed to unlock very easily
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
Glad to hear :)

Did I use the wrong ROM?

"Deleted your text to save space"

You’ll see under this;

“Searching mmcblk0p7...

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 00000170

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 11111111”

And a third line with your unlock code 

Follow as per above to insert the code.[/QUOTE]

-----

I did everything you said and all I get is the exact 3 lines that you have above.

It's probably too late now since you said you no longer have one, but here's what I've done:

Registered with HTCDev

Successfully unlocked my bootloader (although S-ON is still on, of course).

Installed Superuser as instructed on another website.

Installed Check Root and tested to see that I indeed have root (and I do).

Installed BusyBox using Smart Install.

Installed Nameless Rom v7.2

Made sure my phone was set to USB Debugging enabled and Charge Only (otherwise

you cannot push the simfinder.txt file to the phone)

BTW, in your instructions you said "simunlock.txt" but the file in the zip was actually

called "simfinder.txt".

Also, in your online instructions, you wrote “strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7”

but in the simfinder.txt file it says

“strings -n 8 -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p7”

I don't think it's working because I'm using the Nameless ROM. I think I have to use

a stock ROM. Is that correct?

If so, what ROM would you recommend?

The recovery utility does have an Unlock Sim option but you have to send the numbers

generated to menunji(?) and it is not free.

The whole point of me doing this was so that I would learn another way to unlock

cellphones for free.

Any help appreciated.

One reason it may not work on yours is:-

Are you using this for a CDMA or a GSM device?

That is more than likely your answer if it's not working.

Hey everyone. Thanks for the guide?

I followed all the steps (went for method two) and I only got two lines (no third line with the code):

E:\Android>adb push simfinder.txt /sdcard/simfinder.sh

0 KB/s (158 bytes in 0.714s)

E:\Android>adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

su

shell@android:/ # sh /sdcard/simfinder.sh

sh /sdcard/simfinder.sh

Searching mmcblk0p7...

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7: 00000170

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
I'm guessing you have a CDMA device? No SIM card?

If so DO NOT FLASH ROMS/BOOT/RECOVERY FROM DESIRE C FORUMS as the Desire C Cricket is NOT the same as Desire C.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[HTC Desire C] snowleopard201:
No I have European Desire C with a SIM (Elisa). CWM Recovery flashed fine.

Thanks
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
So glad it's not Desire C Cricket (a lot are now coming on the forums and flashing away because it says Desire C!!!!)

Not sure but...was the phone Sim Locked for definite? (I ask this as Carphone Warehouse as I remember (may have changed since) don't have to be Sim Locked).

If it is say second hand it's sometimes worth having them Unlocked to widen your buyers, not stuck on one Network Provider.

If I remember rightly, I ran it a second time (out of curiosity) and I don't think there is a value shows up as it's Unlocked (or no longer needed) but I'd have to recheck to be certain ;)
[HTC Desire C] snowleopard201:
I don't have the other SIM with me now so I can't really say for certain, but the bootloader was originally locked, so I thought the phone is also carrier locked.

I'll see if I can find another SIM to try
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
BootLoader and SIM Lock are not tied ;)

A locked Bootloader is basically the phone manufaturers OS that is locked so a general user can't erase it or alter it (as with having permission on Windows to run some programs)

The SIM Lock is essentially the same thing but for the Network you can use, hence Roaming (if allowed - as with Orange & TMobile) you can connect to certain Providers with no charge, others you cannot connect to or you are charged for doing so.
[HTC Desire C] snowleopard201:
Thank you very much for the clarification. Is there any way to check whether the phone is SIM unlocked (other than using other carrier's SIM)?
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Not as far as I know, just looking at the Branding on a phone is like swapping covers from same phone to another Providers phone, until you can see the data or change the hardware you'd never know the difference ;)
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
snowleopard201... Ive edited the Script recently to just read section 7 partition

Could you try the other method? see if you get the Code? Failing that im on FB for some help.

Reply ...

I'm using a GSM device.

One thing I forgot to mention last time, where the previous poster's instructions

said to respond to a prompt from my phone verifying SU, I get no such prompt.

Not a big deal. It takes so long to boot up now that I'm probably going to go

back to the original ROM or load a stock ROM from somewhere.

Cheers :)

Hey guys just wondering i've just tried this with my htc desire s and the number isn't working but i think its the wrong one as its too long but its right where the picture says it should be.

picture of console is attached.

so can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong or point me to a guide for the desire s
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Check the txt file says:

strings -n 8 -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

then the output should only show the numbers required, also bear in mind it may not be the same for your device being Desire S it could be stored elsewhere, worth checking up on ;)

Hi, Hoping someone can offer some advice,

Trying to Network unlock a HTC Desire C but do not know where to type the code I have found. I have followed the guide on this thread and found what I think is the unlocking code.

When trying another Sim I get a prompt for the user code to unlock the Sim but no other prompt The phone will fully boot but will not detect any carriers.

The Phone's bootloader is unlocked via HTC Dev ( but with S-ON ), Superboot used to root, CWM 6.0.3.0 recovery, Lots of Formatting / wiping, CM10 Biuld #3 / gapps-cfx-jb-20120815-super-stripped installed and N.O.P.E. Kernel Version 2.6 (800MHz) flashed.

All is working very well but didnt realise it was network locked till I tried another Sim.

Thanks in Advance

[HTC Desire C] racky29:
Make Sure You Have A Stock HTC Rom Loaded or this guide wont work

backup your current rom , then flash a stock rom or stock sense based rom

revolution or nameless might be good, they are probably already rooted

then once you followed the guide and unlocked, you can restore your backed up rom

or do wahtever you like, the unlock will be permanent

this guide worked for me great last year, on 2 phones

but they must have stock rom

good luck
[HTC Desire C] GipsyJaeger:
Getting there

Awesome post! I've unlocked the bootloader so far, just stuck on installing the custom ROM, can this

1.) Be installed on phone (no SD card) and

2.) Be trusted? I dont care which ROM it is I just need it to unlock the network, is there any reputable ROMs that are easy to install?

I'm a nub, but interested as I'm starting to fix broke phones and sell them, and to sell them the network needs unlocking, to do that (without paying a fair whack to a shop and so losing a good chunk of potential profit) I need to do it myself.

Also. what do some phrases like "flashing" mean? And once the networks unlocked, will factory resetting remove the custom ROM but still keep an unlocked network?

And how do you backup the current standard ROM?

Hope these can be answered!

Cheers,

Gipsy :cowboy:
[HTC Desire C] Makerrr:
so first what do you mean with no sd you don't have an sd if so you can sideload it ( i don't know how to do that ) if youhave an sd copy the rom to it and flash=install it to system from recovery

you can do it with , i think any sense rom you can try the rooted custom or nameless

once you unlock it it will stay that way using any other rom

what do you mean with "will factory resetting remove the custom ROM" if you are refering to the option in bootloader it will not remove the custom rom actually i dk what that do

the current rom can be backed up after root and recovery with the option in recovery i don't know if you can do it without root you can search on www.google.com you can try this for no root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=197816108 think i helped you hit thanks mate
[HTC Desire C] GipsyJaeger:
Rooted customer and Nameless...Are these particular ROM's you're referring to mate?

If I do a factory reset via "settings" within the phone menu itself will it remove the custom ROM that I've only installed to remove the network block. The reason is I'm selling it on and I'd prefer it to be stock for the customer.

I understand it can be backed up, I'm not a technical lost soul but I'm no pro either, I need step by step instructions hahaha!! :crying:

Thanks anyway so far :)
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
You should read up in the forums really, everything is there that you'll need and you'll understand it better that way than "spoon fed", I only say this because this is the wrong thread to answer those questions and from the questions it seems your understanding of how it works is noobish (not a bad thing, we all were).

Custom ROM = any Rom written that is not handset/provider official (Cyanogen/nameless/miui/etc)

Stock ROM = the original Rom the phone was produced with - Officially

Factory Reset = reverts data back to basic - this does not remove Rom data, only Userdata...

It used to be known as Factory Reset - Back to Stock... but this can be done on a non-Stock Rom as well.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[HTC Desire C] GipsyJaeger:
well yes, nub I am then haha. I know what which one is, I was just seeing if there's different custom ROMs that'd make this net unlocking easier.

It's the correct thread as it's completely related; I'm following the OPs instructions!

Did anybody try this on the wildfire-S - as I've checked the normal Wildfire-S forums and couldn't find a way to gain S-OFF.

Or is there a way with this or another- so that I can resurrect my sister's old phone?

I have rooted, Kt-Kat and works lovelly just locked to old network....Thx alot
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
It possibly could BUT you'd maybe have to check hardware compatibility and NAND chip partitions layout matches (also check with original S-OFF Dev's if can be ported?) It's a risk to try, know what's inside ;)

This may work on wildfire s but check whole thread first for byte count etc and correct partition location for required data.

line that seems to always preceed the unlock code, so I don't believe that my method is flawed. RE: it already being unlocked, nope it wont take any other sim but Vodaphone and my test sim works in other devices, its just a bit strange.....
