[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cardinal-Red:
Hello all. I am a complete novice at Android phones. I have a Desire HD which I bought from a friend about 18 months ago who had installed CyanogenMod on the phone. I am now moving to Giffgaff and need to unlock the phone. I got an unlock code based on the IMEI and when I enter it, despite it saying network lock successful, the sim continues as unregistered and each time I reset the phone it asks me for the Network Unlock code again. I am told it is because of Cyanogen and I need to go back to the start.

Here is all the info I have:

Android Version : 2.3.7

Kernel Version : 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1android@portatile #1

Mod Version : CyanogenMod 7.1.0-DesireHD

Build Number: GWK74

I have tried to follow a number of guides on this site but something always goes wrong and if I am honest I don't really get what I'm doing. I downloaded an .exe from StockRoms and that looked like it was going well but then died at the end with no specific errors.

Can anybody point me in the right directions as to how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked booloader?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cardinal-Red:
I don't know - sorry - how do I know if I am S-OFF.

I think i have an unlocked Bootloader - I have ROM Manager that has been booted into recovery mode a few times while I've been trying these things. Again how can I know for sure though?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Boot in hboot and find it out....power off the device and then boot by pressing power + volume down
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cardinal-Red:
Sorry I could have googled how to do that before posting - my apologies!

It says this:

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0027

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

Am guessing this means I am not S-OFF?

I did see this screen before when I tried to use the Simlock feature. It says this when runs:

FAT32 init OK

OPEN MCCMNC file fail

Open CID file fail

Process done, reboot device?

Of course the process is not done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
With an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash a RUU. Besides you need a RUU for your device and not any RUU. If not, you will need a goldcard.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cardinal-Red:
Is it possible to lock my bootloader? Is that a stupid question?

I have found the "right" RUU here:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace

Is there anything I need to do to make this work? S-OFF maybe?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Yes, it is possible to lock your bootloader. S-Off is no longer available; AAHK, the tool to get it, was retired this morning.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cardinal-Red:
Thanks all, I sense that this could be tricky overall.

Perhaps a different approach is needed - is there another way to Sim Unlock the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
yes, but you gotta be patient. I am working on that..

[General Questions and Answers] katamari201:
So far most of the major brands have shown off their wares at MWC 2013 and there's really nothing that excites me. The HTC One annnouncement with ultrapixels and full-metal unibody from last week was much more interesting. Nokia was suppose to show off or at least hint at their new Pureview phone, but trotted out a line of budget handsets and even candybar phones. LG, ZTE, Huawei, etc. had a slew of generic looking spec-bumped handsets for all tiers. There were big phones like the Optimus G Pro and the Memo, but bigger screens and faster processors are pretty unexciting these days. I am more keen on unique phone designs, new cameras, new displays, new features, etc. Nothing industry changing or worth upgrading to from a 2012 flagship yet.

However, there are a couple of phones that are on my radar. The Lenovo K900 that was shown at CES is back and it is still better than everything else at MWC. The design looks great and it seems a perfect fit to replace my plasticky and saturated Note 2 with some rigid metal and natural colors. The other phone is the Asus Padfone Infinity. the 5" size is more ideal for me and it also has a metal back, although it isn't as good looking as the K900 and pretty drab in the front. Asus needs to skin their phone and put a brighter, more colorful wallpaper to show off the screen. Stock icons and colors just look drab, coupled with the all black front.

With the larger brands opting more and more to show their best stuff at their own events, these larger all-inclusive shows are becoming duller and duller. A dumping ground for vanilla phones. There are of course, startups and rising stars among them, and you can observe them as they make progress, but by the time they are confident enough to show off something grand, they probably won't be showing it off at MWC.
[General Questions and Answers] banasonic:
zte grand memo i see ites aperfect phone must have but after lying in specs 2gb ram>>>1gb and qs800>>>qs600 make me get away from ZTE forever
[General Questions and Answers] djburno2000:
The thing is nowadays everyone wants to do like Apple... have your own event to announce your new product.

See HTC announcing the new One just before or Samsung who will have a separate event to show the S4, etc...

It kind of makes you wonder what's the point of the exhibition in the end if everybody is going to show their product separately..

Then, MWC is also a professional event where deals/contracts with network operators and manufacturers are discussed (who knows?)

so that alone is probably enough to justify the exhibition even if it will be of little to no interest to the public

Wait and see as they say

[HTC One S] xander1993:
okay.. so lets just hope that someone will make s-off happen for our device
[HTC One S] ilmawi:
Maybe start with supercid first

i understood that we need to get supercid before we can get s-off?

So i think we have to start dig around mmcblks with a hex editor to achive that. :P

i did a little search and i think it could be somewhere in /misc, but don't let my n00biness guide you wrong. they have it in S4 on mmcblk04. i did same mod to my HOSs3 but cid didn't change so the S4-method doesn't work . Does anyone have any knowledge about the whereabouts of the cid?
[HTC One S] Bipe:
yes, superCID is starting point for getting s-off
[HTC One S] fdp24:
In fact, with this method cid will change. But spl will re-write it back at next boot. So it is not mmcblk0p4.
[HTC One S] .TanTien:
Just sitting there and doing nothing won't do anything. If you have basic knowledge of the Android/HTC filesystem and some adb commands you can try different things if they work. I'm searching on the internet how other HTC devices got supercid and I try the same thing on the One S. But it's not working out well because of the r/w bug on Trickdroid 6.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gregory_classy:
After playing around and installing different ROMs, I noticed a folder called 'vrtheme' on the sdcard. Not my biggest concern, except for the fact that my galleries are scanning that folder, which in turn lists about 10 folders with pictures.

I've tried everything to remove this folder, but keep getting a permission denied error. I've tried simply adding a .nomedia file, but can't modify the folder whatsoever. I cannot rename any files, can't move them either, can't add files.

Please provide any other suggestions. Thank you!

Copy everything important from your storage then perform a /sdcard wipe in recovery. This is assuming the file is on your internal storage.

Connect your phone to PC,run adb shell in CMD,and get root permission(su),and then,delete it(rm -r).:)

Nice ROM. Gonna try today! Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] bippi79:
Sorry i don't know which bootloader my team used. I was trying to contact a few of them but all are offliine. I will get back to you.

It is a CM10.1 based ROM. So which ever bootloader you use for CM10.1 should work fine with this.
[LG Optimus 2x] intruder91:
If it is based on nightly release than it is for old bootloader, and the size ls 150 MB so I am 99% sure that it is for the old bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
This ROM is for the oldbl, but your sentence doesn't make any sense at all.

The rom size isn't related to the bootloader at all. That the Stock ROM or Jellybam contain 500mb of stuff doesn't mean this applies to all ROMs.

Check out my PA ROMs, both bootloader versions are ~150mb.
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
need new bl (:

Some radios are better in certain areas for different people. I don't think are that different at all except some seem to have better signal, data, wifi, etc. ULVE1 is great on the east coast but not so much in the west. The latest UVLI4 works great and gives good speed and some say kills call echo too. It is all your location basically they just have multiple radios for phones because they usually get updates every few months like gb to ics to jb and so on. Occasionally though they do implement a fix or two into a new radio not all the time though.

I just got my HC case for my S3. I had one with my iphone and loved it so I was happy to finally get this case for the S3. However, it the phone does not sit flush and tight in the bottom shell as long as the battery cover (original out of the box) is on which cause the bottom left hand corner of the base (right sided when viewing) to not fit tightly and lift. I am also easily able to pop off the front of the case in this scenario. However, when the battery cover is removed, the phone sits flush and tight in the case and there is not buckling/gapping at the bottom of the case.

Has anyone else had this problem? I can't imagine using the case without the battery cover is a good idea but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated. Thank you.
