don't want to take focus of this thread but... I downloaded the utility

htcppcpeunlock.zip

and got a file titled HTCPPCPEUnlockInfo.uif

I then realised that my XDAiis had reset itself whilst i was getting it into bootloader mode.

I have a backup file 'Backup.stg' but when I tried to restore I got the message 'Cannot restore, the selected backup file was created from a different type of mobile device'

This I know to be untrue and I also know that my 'Backup.stg' file works because I used three weeks ago. Unless anyone one can help I will have to set about re-rentering all my config?!!

Back on track..I have opened the '.uif' file with NOTEPAD and there is no obvious code but I am a complete novice so I didn't expected it would have neon lights around it!!

Great discussion, I will step back and leave the professionals to get on with it.

Ive spoken to o2 and the lady told me that i cam only get the code if ive had my phone for 12 months its driving me insane i dont even have a contract with them
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] marcelol:
You have to used a HEX editor

Dude.....you have to use a hex editor like the one in TextPad or UltraEdit, to look at the byte within the UIF.

To the later poster....If I remember correctly, the unlock code is 8 characters long.

How about posting the UIF file so it can be peeked at ?

And as regards to posting my uif file i aint got a clue how to do it

Re: unlocking xda 2s

cookie...what you need to do is go to the "Add an attachment" part of a post, and click on "Choose File", find the file on your hard drive, and select it. then click on Add Attachment, and when you click on submit for the post, it'll take it.

After looking again...and comparing the post from GSC at :

Thu Jun 23, 2005 14:27

Looking at the UIF from that zip file, and comparing for the unlock code that he (GSC) provided, I can pretty succinctly say that the byte patterns are NOT in there as either TEXT...or Hex strings......If there's something in there...the unlock value must be being calculated algorithmically because they're not "just there"....sorry acideax....but we're going to need more clarification on "open said UIF and it's right there".
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] GSC:
Uif & unlock code

Yes, I just wanted to write that I - among others - have posted a mathing UIF file and unlock code (from !me!check). The unlock code could be in it somewhere, but it must be hidden / encoded, possibly with a rather nasty key. I hope to be mistaken...

I wish we had a service here like O2 has in the UK, unlocking your phone for 15GBP. Here T-mob will only unlock it for some insane amount of money, several times the price at !me!check... :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] GSC:
Uif & unlock code

The 15GBP unlocking service form O2 isn't offered online, only as a fee added to your monthly bill - at least that's what I've read here. :!:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] aphuk:
I have a UK phone but the cheapes unlock I can find is 30GBP. Please point me at the 15GBP site and I will gladly go there, pay and then post the UIF and code :roll:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] aphuk:
I tried this site earlier today

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/htcppcpeunlock.php

and they said they would do it for 20GBP

I made a Paypal secure payment and they refused to send the code unless I sent a copy of my passport or driving licence to validate my ID. When I explained that this was not someting I was willing to do they refused to send the code even though Paypal notified me that 20GBP had been taken from my account...I informed them that if I was going to send them my Passport image then I might as well send them my credit card number and PIN

One final note .... their website has he chilling advisory note

<Fraud warning: Remember, in case of any fraud we have your phone data including IMEI...Don't risk a locked IMEI. >

:shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] tongben:
IMEI-CHECK and ID requirement

I refused to send IMEI-CHECK the ID requirements. They refunded my Paypal.

I do not trust them for asking the pictures of ID, password, licenses. There are confidential information on these documents. I would not recommended any one to send out these information unless you want to increase the chance of your identity being stolen.

Play it safe.

xda2s unlock

I have been into 3 independent mobile phone shops and all three told me that for £30 thay will send it off to manchester to get it unlocked does anybody know of this mystical place in manchester were all the xda's go.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] marcelol:
I won't post it myself, as I will probably need to get my new SPV unlocked when I receive it....but here's what you do

8)

http://whois.melbourneit.com

enter the domain name ( without the "co.uk" ) then select the

"co.uk" in the extension part

leave the encoding field empty...and click the "whois" button

and though there isn't a NAME for the registrant. The entity who IS the registrant, is easily enough discoverable. They even have their VAT registration ID listed on their web page. So, the fact is, that if you're worried about it, there is recourse. How much, is in accordance with the laws in your country and the U.K.

Yet on another note, I would hope that some enterprising soul would check into the whether when using a paypal account yet requiring deeper personal information than a verified paypal address ( You ARE using PayPal verified accounts aren't you ? Because if you aren't, then I could see their apprehensions. ) is really a fair business practice. After all, hasn't PayPal supposedly verified that you ARE in fact who you SAY you are ?

Is it like asking to look at your drivers license when paying with a credit card ? No, because usually the person doesn't RETAIN all the information on the card, like they are in this instance ? So I suppose their concern is "mafioso" types stealing phones en masse and trying to unlock them. Doubtful, but I can see where this sort of logic might work for them.

All in all, until we can figure out how to get the unlock code ourselves, this is essentially something we'll have to deal with.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] florin_m:
imei-check

Hi there,

I'm Florin Mandache, one of the directors from MIGsofT LTD.

First of all I'll like you all to check MIGsofT LTD with company house and you'll see we are a legit company in the UK.

Also we have the VAT number on the site, so please contact the HM Revenue & Customs and check our VAT reg against our name (MIGsofT LTD), and against our address (from the whois of the domain name).

If you still worried about us, please contact Data Protection (01625 545740) and check MIGsofT LTD, and you'll see we are signed with them too.

Now about ID verification:

Paypal:

If someone stole your user /password and go to a web site and purchase a digital good (for example 1 unlock code), when you notice, you just inform paypal that your account has been hijacked, they will refund the payment back to you, and then they will take the money from the shop from where you bought the product, charge them 7 GBP for the investigation, and then nothing else will be done to protect the shop owner (since he sells electronic goods, for him is NO PROTECTION).

We been target of such scams in the past, and we informed UK police, we informed paypal and we informed EBAY (since he was selling them on ebay for cheaper price), and NOBODY done anything to recover our loss. We contacted paypal several time and we been told if we prove that the owner really bought himself the code (that why we ask for the ID), then they will know wasn't a hijacker , but a lieing customer and in this case we will win.

Unfortunately this is the only way to keep this service running and the ID verification is ONLY for this reason.

In the mean time we contacted our back trying to get new payment methods to protect us against such frauds, but until they will supply something to protect us, we have no other way than to use paypal and this verification.

P.S.

You said in whois you can't see Registrant details. I did exactly same steps like you and I see MIGsofT as registrant (which is us!)

Weblinks to check us:

http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/menus/contactus.shtml

http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/eventual.aspx?id=34

So if you still feel worried about us, then please feel free not using our service!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] marcelol:
Clarification...

Mr. Mandache,

I didn't say you couldn't see "any" registrant, rather that a name for a registrant wasn't there, the company name was there, of course. It has all the information about your company, which is why I pointed out to folks that they could look for themselves. I even pointed out, just as you did, a VAT registration number was plainly visible on your web page.

As I mentioned, laws are unique to each particular country. My mention of no "registrant" was primarily for folks in the US where a domain name MUST by law have the name and phone number of the person who is the contactee for that domain.

In my post I pointed out points of view from both your point of view, and the other users of this board, so that everyone can be objective. I even went so far as to make specific references to someone using a VERIFIED PayPal account:

Because as you aptly pointed out, you have to protect yourself as well.

Neither I, nor anyone else here that I know of, have stated that do so is wrong per se. Any customer of a service has the right to balk at something, but if they value the service enough, they will make the choice that suits their needs.

Personally, I plan on sending you a copy of my photo ID....I need my phone unlocked.

:D

Ok, so I've been searching and browsing the forum for hours now...

I want to install a custom rom/kernel/recovery etc etc on my sensation.

It's currently unlocked with Hboot 1.27 and firmware version 3.32.162.52

Everywhere I look on the forum I find that Rooting needs S-off, and to S-off I need Root access!

Can someone please help me :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
Thanks, but not exactly what I was looking for :)

I want to either ROOT or S-OFF my sensation... After that I'll install custom roms and whatnot.

Also, when loading a recovery (for example, twrp or 4ext), after that I can't start recovery, it hangs on the htc splash screen, or just reboots the phone

WAIT! just got a working version of 4EXT running, let's mess with this first ;)
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
It is actually.. It shows you how to flash ROMs with s-on, and they will give you root.. You can also just flash superuser from recovery and you will be rooted

So in short, you don't need s-off for root
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
got a rom working now, I'll save the S-offing for later.

Thanks for the help :)
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
Well, have to S-off anyway now, I've got the revolution rom loaded, but no wifi/radio.

and I need S-off to flash radio :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no wifi!

flash the boot.img of the rom manually
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
You mean the boot.img that's in the kernel right?

cause I couldn't find one in the rom-zip?
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
Well, manually loaded the boot.img, no goose.

The guys DO say in the rom topic I have to load their radio img...
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
cleared cache + dalvik, still no wifi :)
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
and here comes the new problem:

s-off by Juopunutbear does not support windows 7 ?

So, any tips on getting S-off now ?

or does a kernel include a good radio rom?

If yes, should I just install Sultan Kernel?
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
installed sultan kernel, still no wifi :(

Guys, what am I missing!!!
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
device is now S-off, still can't install a radio.img :(

I need help here :)
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
Try updating to latest firmware and start fresh
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
or use wifix manager app

basically take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2085009

otherwise do as above user suggested
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
ooooh, thats a nice topic, thanks ! I'll have a look :)
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
unfortunately, that topic didn't REALLY help me.

I've run across a new problem, I can't fastboot flash boot.img because it says FAILED (remote: not allowed)

What does this mean? I had an unlocked bootloader, but after S-off it looks like it's locked again (says locked in purple on the top)?

Do I need to unlock my bootloader again to be able to fastboot flash? If yes, then how do I do this?

thanks in advance ;)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
after achieving S-OFF the bootloader returns to locked situation.(that's why you couldn't perform the fastboot command)

do this now.from this thread flash 3.33 universal

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked

but before flashing check md5 sums (important)
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
thank you VERY much!

I now have an unlocked bootloader, firware 3.33, can't wait to get home and flash that sucker :)
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
well, the good news is, I have full "control" over my phone now.

The bad news is, I still can't get wifi to work, I'm trying with 3 different roms and like 6 different kernels. I had it working with darksense and one of their included kernels, can't remember which one anymore though. I'm trying to recreate that same situation again, I'll keep you informed of my "accomplishements" :)

I do have a question though, what EXACTLY controls my wifi? Is it the Radio ? (radio.img) or maybe Boot? (boot.img)

GETril doesnt run properly on my device, so that's no help yet.
[HTC Sensation] wjdijkstra:
flashed the stock rom from this topic :

I've got the phone running with android hd 7.3 and the stock kernel.

Not ideal, I wanted a kernel that would save battery life, but at least its a start.

Hi guys, since many are interested again on adding more icons in nav bar, I just want to give this info on how to make one. It's actually an original guide from rootzwiki page.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30278-how-to-step-by-step-guide-to-add-menu-and-search-soft-keys/

I won't rewrite here what has been mentioned there already but I'll try to help you guys in case you encounter any problem doing that mod. I thought of making this thread since we're better off posting here rather than there, coz I think there are more users here and their thread is long-time inactive already.:D

Many thanks to that guy(Detonation) in rootzwiki, it's the best guide that I came across to. You may also search for chrisjohn95's guide here in xda in nexus forum for other nav bar mod info.

It's in no way my original work, I'm just sharing this mod procedure so others can benefit as well.

EDIT: If there's a need to rewrite here, I'll do, just feedback to me. And to moderators, if this thread is unnecessary(since it's only a linked guide atm), pls feel free to remove the thread.
