Thank you . I solved my problem now and my IMEI is restored .

Also I want to know is there any recovery apps or software can recover my whatsapp conversation , document and image etc ?

Can you tell me the name ? By the way , thank you .
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
Can't find a setting for it but when on the phone I get a single beep when a new mail arrives. How do you turn that off?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ren2008:
Which email app are you using? Go to the settings on app, not on Android.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
native Xperia email. No settings that I can find on the client side or the android side.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ren2008:
Settings > email account > select a ringtone > None
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
You are missing my point. Notification is not set to make any noise. My ringtone is set to "none". When you are on the phone (on a call) and an email comes in, the phone makes a beep in your ear....a distinct short beep almost like a call waiting tone. This is the thing I am trying to get rid of.

Due to recent lot of posts asking for universal unlocking tool. Let us combine all relevant information in one thread instead of making new threads.

News: 6th Feb 2006

So far there is no unlocking tool availabe for HTC Universal (XDA EXEC, MDA pro, SPVM5000)

only guys at www.imei-check.co.uk claim to have some unlocking solution. They charge GBP 50.00 for this service also they require physical access to phone.

Update # 1

- The all in one HTC unlocker tool do not work on Universal.

- The unlocker tool for wizard also do not work on Universal. (although both have same WM5)

- Flashing your universal with ROM of jasjar will not remove sim lock from the Locked Universal.

- XDA Exec is known to come unlocked by-default.

News: 12th Feb 2006

I contacted imei-check.co.uk about universal unlocker and they informed me that they will not provide any online service for universal unlocking as in past people make illegal use of their tools

News: 20th Feb 2006

Buzz & machinagod are working on this project. Be Patient!:

Developers plz post any requests for data required in developing such tool.

Note: PLease do not make new threads for same topic. We will post any good news in same this thread about Universal unlocker tool as soon as its available.

Is anybody working on universal unlocker tool ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Dare2Dream:
Mda Pro Unlock

Find below information received from T-mobile regarding unlocking (MDA pro)

I'm pleased to tell you that to unlock your phone we'll give you something called a subsidy PIN. To request this there’s a charge of £15 (including VAT). It may take up to 28 working days for us to send your subsidy PIN to you but normally it’s a lot quicker than this.

It may be that not all of your phone's features will work on another network and you'll need to check that your phone is compatible with the network you're planning to use it on. Sometimes you'll also need a working SIM card to unlock it.

There are a few things you'll need to have done before we can give you your subsidy PIN:

If you pay as you go

-You'll need to have made your first top-up at least three months ago.

-You can then pay the £15 charge for the PIN by topping up your account with vouchers or an electronic top-up card, or by credit or debit card if you have one registered with us.

If you pay monthly

-You'll need to have had your T-Mobile account for at least a month.

-You shouldn't have asked more than twice for a subsidy PIN in the last 12 months.

-If your contract hasn't come to an end, you'll need to pay a cancellation charge.

-Before we give you your subsidy PIN, you'll need to have paid any outstanding amounts on your bills.

-We can then add the £15 charge for the PIN to your monthly bill.

To get your subsidy PIN, please email us again with the following information:

your name, mobile number, and account password (if you don't have a password, you'll need to set one up - you can do this at http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=help_cu_ap)

an alternative number we can contact you on

the make and model of your phone

your IMEI number - you'll find this on the back of your phone underneath the battery, or by pressing *#06# on your keypad (or on a Blackberry use the track wheel to scroll to Hide Call and press Return - then from the Options menu on the front screen choose Status Open and you'll see your IMEI)

tell us how you'd like to pay the £15 charge.

PLEASE HELP US ALL!!! So we can unlock our Device!

machinagod did some great research... so we can now successfuly SIM lock Universals :o))))

but it is a bit harder than that, so i wouldn't expect anything..

We've calculated yesterday, that if we gonna bruteforce it, it's gonna take 3 years to calculate :o((

buzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] doogie:
Hi Buzz,

Silly question maybe, but now that you can SIMLock them, is it possible to SIMLock them to a different network than they are SIMLocked to at the moment, or only to SIMLock an unlocked handset?

ie I have a Vodafone SIM and could have access to an Orange SIM locked M5000 Universal. I would happily take this device and lock it to Vodafone which would allow me to use my SIM, as although a full unlock would be useful, this would be a major step in the immediate term.

Or do you mean if I had a universal with no lock currently you could SIM lock it to Vodafone?

Thanks for your great work so far (I currently run an unlocked Himalaya with WM5 :))

Cheers

3 years of calculating! Can't someone make an BOINC application for this?

BTW Could everybody stop posting topics with "unlock software available", they make me depressed :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] stupiddog:
Is that 3 years per device or 3 years to break a general encryption key which then works for all devices? If it is the latter, I'd happily donate my CPU power for calculating :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Buzz meant it's going to take three years to calculate how long it will take to Brute Force, which will be 3^3 years to crack :)

Unlocking will happen, and it's in the safest hands in the business I'd say. Should be good news for everyone...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] buzz_lightyear:
oh, sorry...

I meant it's gonna take 3 years to brute force it. that means to try every possible password on the device.

???????? IS IT A SCAM ?????????

Check out http://shop.xpmobile.com/

They claim to have in stock 8 SIM-free Orange SPV M5000 (HTC Universal) at 450 BP each (which is less than US$800!!!).

They also just sold 4 of the same on eBay at a fixed price of 400 BP!!! The description claimed the devices were new, unlocked (not just SIM-free which might be ambiguous) and they would give you an invoice so the warranty would be valid. They had the extended PayPal guarantee of US$1000, rather than the normal US$200, which indicates they convinced PayPal of their legitimacy, right?

Does Orange allow their SPV M5000 to be unlocked? Wouldn't they charge for it if they did? So how is the price of these XPMobile devices so very low? IMEI-CHECK is really expensive so that possibility is ruled out I would say.

If XPMobile has figured out their own way to unlock the SPV M5000, would the warranty be invalidated if Orange did not do the unlocking? If you sent the device in for repair under warranty, would they check that it was still locked?

Lots of questions! Who has some answers?
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
I created this for people who are confused on how to S-OFF, and would like some help. Just post and wait :P

Prerequisites for S-OFF:

Unlocked bootloader / Root

Insecure kernel (Any custom kernel)

Knowledge of fastboot and adb.

If you have troubles when using a Non-HTC Sense ROM, make a backup of your current ROM and flash a Sense ROM temporarily

Download links for S-OFF toolkit:

Windows Toolkit

Linux Toolkit

On Windows, open soju.exe

On Linux, be sure your extracted directory is in ~/Downloads, and open a terminal, cd to the rumrunner directory and do "sudo ./soju" (no quotations)

Be sure to thank beaups and the rumrunner team for getting us S-OFF :)

Again, don't be afraid to ask for help :)
[HTC One V] r3d_ark:
Is it important to use a sense based rom??? Aospv based won't work???
[HTC One V] yashkothari911:
Help me out..please...:confused::(
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Not working on Ignorance, after rebooting fastboot mode (again) it gives FATAL and stopps by please press enter (chrm-kiss).

Same on Ignorance and TK kernel.

Same on full stock rooted rom with stock kernel.

S-ON persists.

Anyone tried a ROM that works OK for this?
[HTC One V] rzarectha:
I did it after using a RUU. Worked without issues
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
After ruu no custom recovery just root?
[HTC One V] parkourz:
+1

And, besides of flashing ROM zip with kernel inside trough recovery and getting rid of the red text, what are other advantages of having S-OFF HOV?
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
In theory changing CID is an advantage, and the possibility to reallocate partition table on the phone. Not an advantage today, but could mean thing in the future.

-- update

Okay have tried anything from RUU stock, myONEv, Ignorance (V4) with stock kernel, with titanium, with titanium-kiss and charm-kiss and nothing works. Could anyone tell a working config for this?
[HTC One V] parkourz:
Like changing recovery partition with boot partition to flash bigger kernels?
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Yes, or use unused space there, and after reallocateing the partition table, bigger kernels could be flashed.
[HTC One V] rzarectha:
Ok guys so these are the steps i made to get S-OFF on my primoU.

I was using Shpongle (no halo version) untill last night, and in the post it said that it's best to have a SENSE rom, as close to stock as possible.

So i did the following things:

-Connected my phone to the PC, activated in phone ADB

- Relocked my bootloader, this is an essential and nonoptional step in order for the RUU to work. Make sure you have the "Unlock_code.bin" file needed to unlock your bootloader after the RUU is done

-Launched on PC "RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.22.707.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.120_release_274703_signed" this is the RUU for CID: HTC_044. if you have this CID and need the RUU i can upload it on mediafire, it's quite hard to find nowadays.

-relocked bootloader using the "Unlock_code.bin"

-Flashed latest version of TWRP

-Flashed Super SU and booted rom, log on play store and allow super SU to upload itself and it's binaries to latest version.

check in Super SU for every request automatic response to "ALLOW". i had a couple of failed installs of soff because i missed the super SU request.

-reboot your phone in bootloader and flash a titanium kiss kernel. i used "boot-TK-USB-201305210014"

- now make sure there is no lock screen set on your phone (by default if you just used RUU it should not be) so no: pattern, pasword lockscreen. in addition i just set my phone never to sleep while connected to USB.

- launch the "soju.exe" with administrator rights (yes i am using windows at the moment)

- ????

-WIN
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
Yeah, but you don't need to relock everything :thumbup: just take a sense rom and you are good to go :D
[HTC One V] rzarectha:
Yes true, I did the RUU method because I was a bit scared I'll fail the installation, I thought, better safe than sorry :P
[HTC One V] mordesku:
Hi, im on stock rooted rom with TK kernel. And can't get s-off. Here is my output. Also i was trying on ubuntu but then soju frezes on test1.

[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
Try the Linux version on a Ubuntu Live CD/USB.

It should also work on Mac OS X, but I don't know how that works.
[HTC One V] rzarectha:
hm...i'm brainstorming here on what might be the cause of that fail...try this: go into super SU and set it to automaticaly accept root access requests. see if that helps in any way.

on the rumrunner website about that line of rows it tells:

ALL firewalls and internet security applications should be totally disabled. If you get stuck with rows and rows of dots during the connection test process, it’s network filtering or other network issue!
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Okay, don't know what is the problem in my phone, tries anything suggested, still no luck...

Maybe I will try tomorrow at a different computer...

the only thing the JB hboot will give us support for is the 3.4 kernel, and that's near to impossible to port with HTC's crap integrated into the kernel. if we someone is ever able to port 3.4 kernel, it wouldn't be a full 3.4 kernel, most of the HTC stuff would be 3.0.x kernel, and so would the stuff needed for the HTC stuff. It would be really patchy...

ran the exe...started looking for an update and failed. no connection. i use tethering for connection. did not want to be tethering thru usb while running the s off procedure. and besides,there should be no need to look for an update at all. everything should be in the kit to run without all that bull****. if its some crap that cant be added to the kit due to permissions of creator and has to be downloaded instead. i will stay s on. not worth wasting my time installing a **** rom like sense..which i couldnt get off of my device fast enough when i bought..to get as far as running the utility and get..."LOOKING FOR UPDATES"...****..please.,

When it says looking fur updates it's pushing(something) to the external sdcard

Is your sdcard installed?

Has it been partitioned?

Use a freshly formatted microSD card,

Also watch your phone's screen abd make sure to allow any su requests that pop up

Good luck

[HTC One V] 123386761:
When you are on the fastboot bootloader page, try typing

adb shell

If it returns with a '#' sign, that means you have an unsecure kernel. This is necessary for the S-OFF process. If it returns '$' (I think, I haven't had a secure kernel in a LONG time), that means you have a secure kernel... so you can't S-OFF.
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Were trying with TK also, which is unsecure, but yes, adb shell begins with su priviledges, this was the first thing I checked when first returned with error.

Only thing I can possibly think of now is my router, don't know if rumrunner works offline tough...

But, I did NOT change my rom to sense... I was on Shpongle (no HALO version) & Ironman Kernel and I just said to myself, &/&(/%&/$&, I'm just going to try as it is...

Well, see the attached photo...
