Hello SharpIS03,

First I'd like to thank you for your hard work in making this possible for the HTC J Butterfly. So far everything you've posted have worked out. I have accomplished the following with your guides:

-Unlock Bootloader

-Root

-Unlock SIM

I would like some help with the sim though. When I put in an ATT sim, a list of networks pop up. I select ATT but the phone still shows no bars with an ''X" and says 'NO SERVICE". When I put in my T-Mobile SIM card, nothing happens except it says "NO SERVICE". Would you please help me connect to the ATT or TMOBILE Networks?

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Hi Scott,

Glad things worked out for you so far. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the SIM unlock method nor how to troubleshoot those problems. You should consider asking the person who wrote up the sim unlock guide. He can understand some English, but keep it simple.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Hmm, now that things have settled down somewhat in my life, and I have a little time, I wonder if I can pick this project up again.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Can you confirm that all your apps that require root/SuperSU work? Titanium Backup? If that's true, I think we could pull your system and I could possibly work from that.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Can't root if you applied the OTA update. Not that I'm aware of, sorry.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Unfortunately not :( some au apps (au market) don't work with a custom kernel.
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll contact him and post any findings that might help others out.

Kind Regards,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
I already found it. I am not using that phone in japan so i already cracked the network

GSM/WCDMA work
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Hi ricky,

May I ask what network you are using the HTC J Butterfly with? I 'unlocked' my sim and an trying to use ATT and T-Mobile, but I get no signal.

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Now using gsm, and I have tried WCDMA is work

And that unlock is not easily, and I pay money to unlock, that is not official unlock

And I think I know the unlock method
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
That sounds good. Would you mind sharing the unlock method you know. I paid for an unlock code for my HTC J Butterfly, but when I put in my ATT sim card it does not ask for the unlock code. Where can I enter the unlock code?

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Do you know chinese ?

http://bbs.xdadiy.com/thread-15-1-1.html

use google translate can help you

now the unlock method is free
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Thank you. I will give it a try. I can't really see the minium requirments though. Would you be able to assist me with that? I have S-Off, Unlock, Root, and am running 1.14.709.1 that was in the first post.

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
beaups offered an easier way to change the CID, it's much easier than editing the block file in a hex editor, much less steps. My guide has been changed to reflect those changes.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
I forgot to dd as well! Oh no...perhaps someone can still do it. Hopefully the RUU comes out soon.

You're not still having problems with the signal are you?
[HTC Butterfly] tiltyu:
thank god that it was indeed a some trouble on network system; it was down for almost six hours in Tokyo.

i am unlocking now :)

looking forward to the sources to be out lol
[HTC Butterfly] matix45:
Nice job!!!
[HTC Butterfly] fnoji111:
hello.

SharpIS03 Nice job!!

I may want all of you to be careful about only one.

I used the following commands to return it to Stock.

Then, did not work hboot... ( not QHSUSB_DLOAD)

I tried [adb reboot bootloader] , but was no use...

I was able to repair it by the guarantee service of the carrier, but be careful for the time being. :(
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Hello! I am sorry to hear that you had a problem! :( Did you copy and paste the command? I was told that it's ok to use this command to return to KDDI_801.

Thank you for the warning. Please be careful :)
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
FYI, I have permanent root on my phone. I'll share when I have time to get the process.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Did you unlock?
[HTC Butterfly] katsuya82:
Hi, I'm not a hacker so I'm not enitrely sure what I'm doing. I have Taiwanese HTC Butterfly X920d and I've tried you method of getting temp root and failed. After push in getroot and chmod then I run BreakSuidDiag.apk, the screen will jump out a very small windows about 1/8 size of the screen, and then just reboots itself after about 1 min, ofcouse, root is not achieved. now my question is Is it possible to use the same exploit on X920d?
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
This was only tested on the Japanese HTC J Butterfly. I am also not a developer by any means, just putting information together. Thank you for testing it, though. I'm not sure if the exploit will work for your phone since I'm not the person who found the exploit. Sorry, and good luck.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
permroot and custom recovery

Thanks to drewx2, we now have a custom recovery! I've attached two images to this post, one shows the custom recovery on my phone. It says TWRP for Droid DNA, but hopefully we can get that changed.

The second image shows superuser working on my device.

Will update both of these procedures as soon as I can!
[HTC Butterfly] jlevy73:
Very nice! I wonder if this recovery will also work with the Chinese version. Guess there is only one way to figure that out.
[HTC Butterfly] fnoji111:
oh!

nice job drewx2!

but, Is the full back up possible?

backup error occurs in felica lock if do not measures.

felica = Japan only NFC (japanese name おサイフケータイ)

TwitterID : tako0910 (http://twitter.com/tako0910) port CWMrecovery↓

recovery10.img

http://www.mediafire.com/?bc87w72ep2pvn2e

It is not taken measures of backup error.

thanks
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
As far as I know, full back up is possible, and full restore from backup is possible. I have tested this. Also, osaifu-keitai seems to work just fine right now.
[HTC Butterfly] fnoji111:
very nice!:laugh:

I also want to try.;)
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
I will update the process as soon as I can, I need to review the procedure, then I will share it with you!
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
S-OFF

More good news, looks like one J Butterfly (fnoji's) has S-OFF! It will take time to release it, and some testing.

Here is fnoji's tweet.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
twrp and superuser procedures

Ok, I updated my post so that you can hopefully install TWRP (custom recovery) as well as Superuser (for root). Let me know if there are any problems and/or successes!
[HTC Butterfly] katsuya82:
I'm just saying, the temp root part is no longer necessary. All you need to do is unlock => flash recovery => root => supercid.
[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
I followed the steps and got recovery installed. I flashed superuser. Is that the same as what you said here.

unlock => flash recovery => root => supercid

Is supercid super user?

When I installed lucky patcher a message pops up saying that I don:t have busybox installed. So I downloaded the app and tried to install it but I get an error saying that busybox installations was unsuccessful, try installing in another location. It is trying to install to /system.
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
I think s-off enough and my phone hboot version is 1.39

And i think you should download all file need at first.

After crack you need japan rom not taiwan rom

I think the danger part is flash the partition5, you must conform flashed complete.

sorry for my english
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Hi Ricky,

Thanks so much for sending me the tutorial. I wish I could read it. I tried hard to use google translate, but I just don't understand what is being said and I rather not try and brick my phone. Do you speak chinese? If so, would you mind writing it out for me. Just a small list (1, 2, 3). I would really appreciate it. This will help the majority of us also who cannot read/speak chinese.

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Try this apps

I haven't try this, he said this is new of the mobile version

But before use that you need root.

Just run it and your network crack

I already crack so it show me you cracked..

I cant help you to next step

But i think you should download these file before crack

japan rom

[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Hello again,

So I've flashed the radio, installed the Rom and now I run the unlock software. I don't know which button to press because it is in Chinese. Would you please let me know which one is the unlock. I have a picture below. Thanks.
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Please look up to post #381

I have that photo and translated

Have you Skype or line etc

And have you try that phone app?

May be easily than
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
It works! I was able to make a test phone call and it actually worked!

Thank you so much. I actually picked up two of these from Japan last week but I got rid of one thinking I wont be able to use it in the states. I cant believe this actually worked. I play to do a full write up and give credit to all those who helped on the forum. Here is an after and before pic of my screen now using the software you sent.

One question though...do I have to now keep this rom or can I use other roms?

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
sure, you can flash any japan rom you like

nfc led should work now

if you like sense4+

i recommend you use this one

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=453101&uk=3221581275

This rom base on this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2105745

You can flash the update to v1.3.3 for my memory

or you can try my version, I already update to 1.3.3(1.3.5 cant boot)

part1: http://d-h.st/Mur

part2: http://d-h.st/IgU

Put that folder to sdcard root, and go to twrp recovery to restore.

And i recommend you flash this boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

this can support uv fastcharge s2w etc

http://d-h.st/4Lw

And this is new version of radio

v1207

http://d-h.st/yNe

If after flash this have auto send sms problem please flash back

This version have better WiFi sigal I think

I will post sense5 rom link if you need

I think sense4 is better than sense5
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Awesome stuff!!!!

Yes, please post the link to the sense 5 Rom. I'd like to try that out as well. Any issues with any of these ROMS? I would like all features to work if possible, but some are not a big deal. The big deal is Camera, Wifi, Web, and texting.

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Try this

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2368781957&uk=1795203174

I haven't try yet
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Great, thanks! Can I use sense 5 without flashing the new radio?

I didn't realize there was so much chinese support for the HTC J Butterfly. When I was in Japan, I couldn't really find any resources to help. Glad that XDA is always on top of things...even if it means referring to another site or forum.

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
Sure, you can without flashing it
[HTC Butterfly] cscotty:
Thanks! I am using the sense 5 Rom and I really like it. I noticed that in all the rims mms is not enabled. I can't even take a picture and send it in a text. Do you know why?

Thanks

Scott
[HTC Butterfly] ricky886:
This is rom bug for I know

But mms is useless for me

Much apps can replace mms;)
[HTC Butterfly] agwood:
So, please help me understand what I need to do here for my Butterfly J HTL21.

I had gone through the original process of S-Off, custom recovery and root, unlock bootloader, flash ENG Hboot, change to Deluxe UB1, flash TW radio and now it is very unstable sim unlock (sometimes wait for 4 days to catch signal).

I want to use the sim unlock from ricky886 but I am unsure what I need to "undo" before I can do this.

Should I just flash the Japanese rom (link from ricky886) and Japanese radio then I would be able to run the sim unlock crack or do I need to go back further? then I can reflash a sense 5 rom if wanted or another custom rom?

Thanks for the help in advance !!
[HTC Butterfly] bluheart:
Better flash stock and see
[HTC Butterfly] agwood:
So I changed back to stock with RUU, reflashed Deluxe J CIDblock, re rooted, reflashed ENG Hboot, flashed Radio and ROM that ricky886 suggested.

able to boot to rom no problem but when I run the unlock tool everything is blank almost like the software cannot communicate with the phone, but I can adb/fastboot no problem.

UPDATE - Changed to a different HTL21 ROM and was able to get the unlock tool communicating but I don't see the button to apply WCDMA crack file as displayed in the screenshot below. Is there something I am missing? I have updated the radio as stated, just not sure what I am doing wrong and since I don't know what all of those buttons are (not listed on translated screenshot) I don't want to just start clicking random things.

UPDATE 2 - Had some spare time (rare) but I was searching the the Chinese forum and found the APK version of the APP, installed and ran the APP (it is in english) it crashed while running but it worked and now my HTL21 in running on a DOCOMO SIM - I uploaded it to my Google Drive if anyone needs it - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByMkEAaJhnXObDg4Q2hLa1ZWQ2c&usp=sharing

Sure you can flash any custom rom, before you need crack your phone at first:good:

But make sure you need to flash japan rom not the taiwan rom
[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
I wonder if someone can please help me.

My J Butterfly died on me lately and I had to get a new replacement from AU here in Japan. The new phone has software version 1.36.970.1 and the Hboot is 1.41.0000.

How the hell do I unlock this phones bootloader so I can root it?

I have been searching for hours and I don't feel I am any closer that when I started. Please please help.
[HTC Butterfly] hoangps:
have same problem :(

Hboot 1.41

Ver 1.36.970.1
[HTC Butterfly] hoangps:
Nobody care?
[HTC Butterfly] crettke:
I was hoping someone would get this working again. I'm guessing there isn't enough interest?
[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
OMG it seems like there is a downgrade method available for 1.35.970.1 > 1.15.970.1.

However the page is in Japanese and I'm not so good with Android hacking and I don't really understand what to do or what files I need or where to put them and so on.

Is there anyone here that can understand what to do with the info on that page?

It would be great if someone could provide a step by step of what to do.

Thanks, and good luck.

HTC J Butterfly (htv31) sim locked!

I have no luck unlocking the sim! I tried codes I purchased and tried twice without luck.

This is a Japanese AU locked phone - clean no contract etc.

But they are not willing to unlock the phone outside Japan

HELP!

Did anyone manage to sim-unlock this phone?

Tried to S off the phone; didn't work either.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
How do you unlock without the temproot? If you're already unlocked, then yes, temproot it's no longer required.
[HTC Butterfly] katsuya82:
you don't need supercid to unlock the phone. just go straight to htcdev.com

Choose to unlock the bootloader, from the devices pull-down menu, select ALL OTHER SUPPORTED MODELS

Follow all of the directions until you are unlocked

Keep your unlock token somewhere safe!

you can backup cid and supercid after you gain root. That's how everybody does it, I don't know why your steps requires supercid first.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Supercid and superuser are different things. I flashed a modified busybox from recovery. I can give you the file later tonight.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
I tried the website first, it didn't work. That's why we are using the temproot method. HTC J butterfly, in Japan, is blocked from unlocking at the htcdev website.
[HTC Butterfly] katsuya82:
I see, sorry I didn't know that.

[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
After getting TWRP recovery installed boot into it and then install this SuperSU and busybox package.

http://www.mediafire.com/?es35lyioe8hxbxh

Download the zip file from the link here and copy it to your SDCARD folder.

Boot your J Butterfly into TWRP and click on the install button.

Browse to where you put the zip file and swipe to tap it and swipe to install it.

Then reboot the phone.

You will now have SuperSU and BusyBox installed.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Superuser and supersu act the same way, but superuser stops au market from working. That's why I am using supersu. The Japanese who use this device will probably want to use supersu instead.
[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
The package that I posted about includes SuperSU NOT Superuser.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Ah ok, perhaps I read your post too fast, could have sworn superuser was mentioned in it.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Good luck!
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
I just downloaded and checked the package, it says Superuser.apk in the app folder.
[HTC Butterfly] samusx:
But the icon I have in my app drawer is the little blue guy with the red cape and it says SuperSU.
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
I see, I'll try flashing it. Well, looks like it checks out, good to get that sorted.

[HTC Butterfly] QWERTY0722:
Hello, after follow your guide I successfully unlock my HTC J Butterfly (btw I'm an user out of Japan > Taiwan user)

HTL21 has SIM locked so is there any way to unlock my phone ? I need to use GSM/UMTS modem

and I saw one option in the bootloader list which is : SIM lock

what is this option use for ? I'm very curious !

will your team find a solution to unlock it ?

thanks:o
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Hello. Glad to hear you were able to unlock the phone. However, I have NO idea about unlocking the SIM. I found this guide, take a look at it, but proceed at your own risk.
[HTC Butterfly] QWERTY0722:
Oh I see

acctually I already using some unlock code purchased from SIM unlock website.

and they do provide the unlock code, but my issue is my HTC J Butterfly didn't prompt any message when I insert the different SIM card

in the specs HTL21 is support all kind of connection : LTE/CDMA/UMTS/GSM ( my card in Taiwan is UMTS/GSM > 3G )

I wanna know when I follow your second guide which is "Custom Recovery and Root" when I done this mean my HTL21 is already root ?

but there's no such a custom rom yet ? or other stock rom (such as HTL21 using Droid DNA's ROM) ?

thanks:good:

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Oh I have one more question that is what is S-ON and S-OFF stands for ?
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Not sure how to help you with SIM, sorry.

Yes, if you finished the second guide you should be rooted. I am currently working on a custom stock Rom for the phone, but you can try the DNA roms if you want. I tried them and they work.

S-on means we can't write to system while phone is booted, changes need to be made through recovery. S-off means we can write to system while booted.
[HTC Butterfly] QWERTY0722:
When SIM is locked to au/KDDI I have one concept about this.

my last cellphone is Galaxy Note which is GT-N7000 it didn't lock to any carrier, but one thing is interesting.

I flash one ROM with europe modem included (Germany > because when I'm done the welcome and default language is deutsch)

so when I insert my Taiwan GSM SIM card there's one issue that is no data connection but dial function is normal.

I wanna know if you know is ROM effect the sim lock ?

but that's my guess.

oh where's the Droid DNA stock ROM ? and what are you gonna do with the Stock Rom ? for HTL21 ? and you said you already tried and they work ? is it normal ? with your au IC card ?

so the status of Security lock isn't effect the flash process ?

thanks !!
[HTC Butterfly] SharpIS03:
Again, I don't know anything about sim lock/unlock process. I don't know if ROMs affect SIMs at all.

Your guess is as good as mine. :)

You can find the various DNA ROMs here. I'm not going to do anything with the DNA stock rom, I am trying to make a stock rom for the J Butterfly. Yes I have tried installing the DNA roms, and they work; however, I haven't used them much so I am not exactly sure what works and what doesn't. The DNA rom seems to work fine with my au IC card, but I can't be sure until I have more time to test the ROMs.

you're welcome!!

J Butterfly custom Stock Rom (rooted, odex)!

I was able to build a custom stock rom (rooted, odex) for this device. This rom is completely stock, nothing has been changed or taken out with the exception of adding root and busybox.

I would like to thank dsb for his help (updater-script, status 0 error)!

If you have a J Butterfly, are able to flash custom ROMs, and would like to test this, send me a pm!
