Hi,

I've just try to unlock my phone (Touch HD French, Olinex 1.14, std rom), and now, it's only 4 ugly colors, I can't Activesynce(devive not connected), and I have lost my IMEI and 14€.

I run step one => OK reboot

I run step Two => NOK phone brick.

What could you do to help me ?

just tried a raphael radio now my phone wont turn on?or maybe the screen is just black i cnt really tell! Help me please
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
Playing catch up but as you worded nicely you will get away with it., Welcome to XDA.

1) Your contract is one thing but first you need to work out if you need a SIM unlock or not. To test place a sim from some other carrier in you phone, if it works the device is not locked, if it does not then you need to get the sim unlocker and with a post count of 1 I would think you need to buy.

2) once your device is SIM unloked it reamains that way, even after rom or radio flash.

3) If you need to send your phone back then you need to have the old rom on it, you need to see if wiki has your ship.exe to reflash it or check the threads for a Dump. (have not seen an offical ship.exe from orange ever for the Blackstone).

3) Flashing, you can flash what ever you like (ship.exe (stock) or Cooked rom once you have got over the CID check. Read the dummies thread first post and remember HSPL 1.56.

Hope that helps

And you can count on getting problems if the Phone is CID unlocked for repairs.

Sometimes just putting back the stock rom will not be enough to fool the guys at repairs. And you would need to get HardSPL out of there to.

is it necessary to unlock the phone,?,,as i am using orange blackstone meant for UK in INDIA.will my indian sim work in UK?i have changed my radio to 1.14.25.24 also i am using latest energy ROM.

please advice as wiki is not working since yesterday
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Nope, you don't need to unlock phone. Security Unlock enables you to flash radios from other devices to the HD without bricking it, i.e. radio's from the Kaiser or Hermes to the HD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vire825:
thanx a lot ,pal
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
that's not strictly true, if you flash a Kaiser radio to it then you'll **** it.

stick to pre-packaged NBHs that other people have already made and played with if you don't know much.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Good to know bro, glad I never used a kaiser radio!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
@ Olipro - Pardon my ignorance, but why is it that a radio from Diamond or Kovsky works but a kasier radio will brick your phone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jantussen:
Cannot get past step 2

Hello, I just got the program but I experienced a problem right away. I couldn't get past step 2, my image version is 1.14.172.1 . When I want to complete the step to update, I first see, update to 1.14.olinex. When I click next, I get a connection error. I'm asked to check my connection.

I've run activesync, it got past step 1 proving the connection is right, but step 2 gives a connection error.

By the way, if I rerun step 2, it asks me to install 1.14.Blackstone in stead of 1.14.olinex. And if I click next here, my phone goes into the 4 colour modus, and one of the first messages is "no rom found", after this i get to a progress bar... and here it hangs. A hard reset brings me back to normal modus, without the unlock.

What can be the problem?

p.s. I purchased under another email, and I'm really stuck now :(

edit 2: Works! I've worked it out on another computer, it still didn't work flawlessly. I ended up having a greenish 4 color display of windows ce, guess I'll have to update the rom. If i turn off the display, and on, it's the normal collors again.

Cheers mate.....all this lack of sleep (due to baby) ain't helping me brain with working today
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonesy:
sorry it was the latest raphael radio, 1.14.25.35 updated fine but just wont turn on
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bonesy:
Not from the raphael in my experience. Orange have discontinued the touch HD aswell btw
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
nope, (practically) the same chipset, it's just that the firmware loads at a different location.

the Topaz radios all load at the same place as the Kaiser, so it is technically possible to run a Topaz radio on the Kaiser... if you've got the gonads to try it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Thanks for that update mate ;)

USB not working.....still HSPL??

My USB port is having issues (I confirmed it is the phone)....is there a way to installl HSPL through the SD card (without the USB port)? I do not really use the usb for anything.....as long as I can flash ROMs. I was using USPL prior to the port failure. Is there some other CID unlocker that will use the SD card? I have a Starhub (Asia) Touch HD.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
nope, you need USB.

have you tried plugging the cable into the ports at the back of your computer (on the motherboard) - sometimes auxiliary ports can be unreliable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] butkol:
Too bad

I have tried 4 computers (XP, vista, windows 7) and 3 cables......I re-flashed the stock rom (through SD card) half a dozen times....too bad I did not install HSPL, when the USB port was working :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
well, how handy are you with a soldering iron then? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Since my HD is not SIM locked I don't have any real need for this sw so haven't asked for it. I'm just curious though, as far as I know most home IPs are dynamic, that is they may change in a few days or weeks. How do you guys handle that since the IP address is used to determine legitimate users?

Just a curious soul here, you don't need to give any details but have you accounted for that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
in a word? yes.

Cannot unlock

Hi Oli,

bought your software earlier today and tried to unlock my device. The application prompts that either my device is in flight mode or I need to purchase an unlock for my IMEI. The device is not in flight mode but it is roaming. I am trying to flash through Windows 7 x64 7264 and my device runs hardspl 1.56 and miri's WM6.5 v20. my radio is 1.14.25.24
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] woaloo:
Got the same problem !

First, you buy a software to fire your IMEI => Very nice

Second, you buy an IMEI this guy make you loose => Wonderful

Third, you have to smile ,thanks this man, and be happy.

Finally, I bought an unlock code on a different website, I ask a friend to repair my phone, and everything rocks...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
yeah, by "repair" he means he flashed the correct version of Hard-SPL... which I told him to do, evidently that's beyond his abilities, just as well he has a friend.

our software does detect which one should be flashed, however, if you go and flash one of the 1.5x ROMs, then the screen will go weird and we can't deal with that automatically, you should read the information and update your SPL as well.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigden29:
olipro have you recieved my pm?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] robmif76:
Hi all,

well done for all the hard work in keeping this forum running and for providing some excellent utilities.

Bit of a noob question perhaps but during Step 3 of the unlocker I get the message ==Communicating with Device...== but it just hangs there and nothing else happens. Am I missing something here?

thanks

rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ca5c4d3:
Worked

Bit late to reply but I am on holiday. Anyway my problem was that oli or one of his partners wouldnt allow the utility to flash with my IMIE because my IP was in a different country then my billing address. As soon as that was resolved I was able to unlock with no issues. I was already running SPL 1.56 and latest radio with Miri's 6.5 v20 so I skipped step 1 and jumped to step 2. As soon as that was over I reconnected my phone to the PC and moved to step 3 with no issue whatsoever.

Oli you might want to consider using SSL for the IMIE validation :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikiamal:

i purchased a sim unlocker then i ran the program

Unlock question

Hi

If i pay for the unlock via http://blackstone.htc-unlocks.com/

will i still be able to flash different ROMs on the phone or will it become locked again if i do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
You'll still be able to flash ROMs. The unlocker includes Hard SPL if you need it IIRC, if not, it still won't re-lock the phone. Olipro worked on the Hard SPL, he wouldn't remove it from your phone with his unlocker ;).

Forced Donation vs Purchase

Hi Oli et all

Just wanted to say I admire the work you have put into liberating the hardware from the Mob(ile) telcos.

I previously had a Touch Diamond and managed to get it woking as I want it, including sim unlocking, for gratis. This fuelled my decision to make a donation a few months back.

But this whole "forced donation" looks to me like the thin end of a very thick wedge. How long before others start a forced donation approach for hardspl? Or cooked roms? And calling it a 'donation' whilst forcing payment makes a mockery of the very meaning of the word.

I understand your motivations behind wanting to keep the moochers away from your hard work and If anyone is to profit from this it should be the creators or the XDA-DEV community but I cant help but think that the original motivation was to liberate our hardware from the artifical limits imposed upon it, not to make money off of removing those artificial limitations.

In charging for this service you put yourself on the same side as the original hardware hobblers and that seems self defeating. You go from being the solution to just another cost added onto the handset.

I appreciate that my view may not be universal and that there are strong counter-arguments but I just felt it needed to be said. Much as I want my phone unlocked I am not willing to have payment extorted from me in order to do so.

Pithy replies expected by the troglodytes.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
All I'm going to say is that CID unlock is not free anywhere. People who contribute to xda developers are offfered this as a reward for there support and contribution to this great site.

A lot of people simply assume they can come to this site and get whatever they want for free, which to me just makes them lazy and a leech.

IMHO I think what Oli has done here is just asked people to help others and contribute to this site and he'll give you this for free. Is that to much to ask?

EDIT

Apologies, my mistake. I meant SIM unlocking and not CID unlock as per DaveShaw's post below
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisterEcks:
Actually, there are a number of *free as in beer* CID unlockers on XDA-DEV for other devices (hermes thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293665 for eample).

I understood the purpose to be the dissemination of information nescessary to liberate your hardware from the artificial restrictions placed there by the Mob Telcos. If someone has something valuable to add to the debate or information to share then by all means he / she / it is someone you want participating. I myself am not well versed in the art of cooking roms or cryptology so I dont add to the background noise and I usually find all the ansers I need by using the search function. To say that I am somehow less than worthy or brand me lazy and a leech simply because I class myself as a user rather than a developer is not very contructive and works against the community ethos.

If we want to say "XDA-DEV's sells software to unlock your phone" and be like all the other pay-as-you-play sites then fine, lets do that. But dont tell us its a donation when its not. That IS too much to ask.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
First off CID unlocker will be a typo by FS, we are talking about SIM unlocking.

Secondly, since the Kaiser, no other "Free" SIM unlockers have been created by Olipro, the first (and only) Free SIM unlockers were created by Olipro, pof and the rest on this site.

If you can think of a better way of preventing the rest of the world from using his products for their commercial gain, go ahead. It would be a brilliant business model to charge people to use software that can be found else where for free. Imagine your are the developer who reverse engineers the device's firmware and finds the hack for the SIM unlock, and then someone elses sells it for their gain.

Most folks are happy to pay for SIM unlock, it's only a few quid for a unlock so your phone will work with your preferred network (most people prefer the cheapest).

I can assure you, nothing you can argue will change Olipro's mind on this :D.

Thanks

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, thanks Dave, was a typo. I'll change original message
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisterEcks:
Actually, I DO have a way of prventing world + dog exploiting the unlocker for commercial gain.

1. Create a server side app of the unlocker with a web front end accessable only to registered memebers of XDA-DEV.

2. Allow a limited number of unlocks per Account (by creating an unlock table linked to the user account table in the userDB) with the ability to request more than 1 unlock by donation to the site or by sponsorship by senior members.

3. Tighten up the user account creation process so as to weed out any bots or scripts attempting to exploit the system.

4. Allow non-registerd users to unlock phones via the donation/unlock only route.

Thoughts?

*** Edit - From the server side it would be entering the relevant IMEI code and then having a jit compiler release a compiled unlocker for that phone only. ***
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
1. Olipro is not affilieted with xda-developers (nor am I for that matter) so access to the User Database not be possible.

2. Fair Enough.

3. This forum runs on vBulletin with Plenty of Spam filter, yet look at the spam we get.

4. OK.

Those aside...

What is to stop me putting the Free Unlocker on a a website and charging someone to use it, where all I do is provide a user registration form and then supply the protected exe this will work perfectly, because the person will be a registered user.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisterEcks:
I should have read the post properly!

Hi Dave,

Ok, I was getting somewhat confused... I thought the donations were going towards XDA-DEV and didnt realise Olipro was actually doing this as a solo enterprise (with a very kind offer of free unlocking to the community)! My mistake.

Oli is, of course, entitled to do whatever he so wishes with his own hard work and I wind my neck in appropriately.

Now, er, move long.. nothing to see here, not droids you are looking for... etc....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:

Hi Oli, thanks for the unlock!

A newbie question... step 1 does a hard spl, right? Previously I had done uspl when upgrading roms, so does this mean in future when I upgrade roms i should use the hard spl process instead of uspl?

Thanks,

Mark.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Check your SPL. If HSPL on device you do not need to re-use it before any flash to rom

hi

reading all the people asking for free unlocking...

do you guys work for free ?

do you ever donate to any off the chef or people that is help here ?

the best way to say thanks is to donate 5$ or what ever you can donate....

do you search before asking ? or you post the question and wait to see if some "free worker " finds a solution for you ?

If I bought my phone unlocked from an unlocked cell phone distributor obviously any sim will work in it im guessing. Also I have used a AT&t and tmobile sim. My question is since I bought it online unlocked will I be able to flash the 1.16 radio to try without any issues?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigden29:
your phone will have to be security unlocked, to see if it is go to bootloader mode and see if it says 'security unlocked' near the top of the screen.

i am told if you flash a radio to a non-security unlocked device your phone will become bricked.

also i can guide you to this thread, where you can discuss it further

I believe for your phone to be unlocked HSPL has to be initially put on phone. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but USPL should be able to go back on device afterwards
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It should be able to. If one can revert to stock SPL it should be possible to go back to USPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MrKaon:
Thanks Fallen Spartan for your reply

I did unlock my phone this morning thanks for Oli for his hard work

I always use USPL method for upgrading ROM but I think it is time to move to HSPL. First time I couldn't finish Step 1 it ended up with Error [260] connection I did follow Dummies guide (thanks to Digital Outcast) and solved the problem, last two steps went without problem
