I guess that there is a problem on Win7 (at least some builds of Win7, if your using one) with the unlock tool for Windows.

You can enable ADB in your phone under Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.

If this doesn't work, try to make a bootlable cd with the linux ISO, boot your PC from the CD you just made and follow the instructions on the screen (99% worked on most cases).

Good luck !

[Desire General] Adis0ru:
Make a bootable cd with the linux iso, boot your PC from the cd you just created and follow the onscreen instructions.
[Desire General] Wicked131:
Ok, but i have Windows installed on my PC, and in first post in this thread there is no link for bootable Linux or Windows CD. Any sugestions?
[Desire General] Rost8:
somehow it does not work for my Desire

Thank you for developing! Just I am somehow not smart enough to use it.

I understand that the ISO is obsolete. That is good, since I can not burn anything.

so I am just starting ADB, see a script running and closing automatically. Then I am using the other EXE and it tells me that it is still looking for an Adroid device. Even the PC finds it via HTC Sync. What could be the reason? (I am using Desire, branded by Softbank)
[Desire General] craftycarper1:

I am running windows 7. I tried yesterday evening at home on my home computer and I could get it to work because the device could not be found. Then I burned the iso image to a cd, booted and still does not work. The error says "Initiating connection... then it says failed/connection could not be established".

I came into work today in the morning and tried to repeat the process through Windows Virtual PC, same unsuccessful results as from last night but this time with more errors about various components could not found (I think this was an issue with virtual pc tbh). Then I walked over to my co workers computer and I booted via the cd and still could not get it to work.

[Desire General] Derek0228:
Boricua, el Desire A es el Wildfire, y tu HBoot dice Buzz porque el HTC Buzz es el Wildfire. Claro vende el Desire A y el Desire normal.

-Boricua, the Desire A is Claro's version of the Wildfire, your HBoot says Buzz, because, the HTC Buzz is essentially the Wildfire. Claro sells the Desire A (wildfire) and also sells the original Desire.

Hi all,

Thanks for the tutorial.

2 months ago I bought an HTC Desire, which was blocked on the Bouygues network (France). I used the linux image to sim unlock my phone, it worked great. But since 5 days now, my SIM (Virgin mobile) can't connect to the network anymore...I have the following message:

"Your SIM card can't connect to this network" or something like that (french message translated).

This happened all of a sudden, without modifying anything. My phone seems to be sim locked to Bouygues Telecom again.

gfree_verify gives:

I am not sure why I have @secu_flag: 1, since it's written S-OFF...is this correct ?

When I sim unlocked the phone 2 months ago, the phone was running Alpharev Bravo Stock Hboot, then I switched to Bravo CM7 r2. It then worked fine, until 5 days ago...

If anyone has an idea, it would be great, thanks.
[Desire General] Cepheus0815:
Juhu it worked (with the old way)

Donation is on its way
[Desire General] sieempi:
Actually gfree_verify clarifies a bit:

@secu_flag: 1

Your radio is set to s-on, but alpharev patched hboot makes the phone think the flag is s-off (the whole point of it) and act accordingly.

@SIMLOCK= 00

You're still network unlocked, but something happened with either the sim, the lead contacts, your plan, etc (contact your operator). Check out other sim cards from other networks and you might notice they work.
[Desire General] olive127:
Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I contacted my operator and they can't do anything and don't see anything wrong, nothing changed on their side.

The thing is that my SIM works fine in an old Nokia...that's why they don't understand what can be wrong.

I also tried various SIMs, and only Bouygues Telecom ones work :(
[Desire General] sieempi:
Weird..

@SIMLOCK= 00 is the ultimate proof of sim-unlocked status, I don't know what else might be happening there.. Try to figure if it's related to maybe some settings you changed in you phone, rom updates, etc..
[Desire General] olive127:
Thanks, but I have reinstalled various roms, I even tried a ruu one this afternoon, same problem.

I think I know the answer, but, can't we revert back this sim unlock ? is there a way ? if so, I would be able to unlock it with a code.

Thanks again.
[Desire General] japseye:
Could not get the rar version to work. No luck from CD as it could not find correct usb port. Mounted the iso using virtual box. Once booted and running I then booted phone Hboot then inserted usb cable. You have to choose Devices/USB Device and select the desire before continuing from Vbox. Twice it said succesful but it did not work. 3rd time lucky. I am on 3 Network by the way.

Thanks a load well impressed.
[Desire General] olive127:
Hi,

The weird thing is that if put a Bouygues Telecom SIM, it works, then when I put a non Bouygues SIM, it does connect for 2 seconds and I have the message "registered to the network", then it disconnects...

Do you think if I go back to non-root, S-ON, with a RUU, it will SIM lock again and start from scratch ? I did install a RUU yesterday, but I forgot to fastboot erase cache...maybe this is the problem.

Or is this SIM unlock permanent ?

Thanks.

Help on unlocking the HTC Desire with unlock v0.9.1

Hi Guys,

I did try to run the utility HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.1 but i had no luck.

Does anyone have a step by step guide?

Here is the radio logcat:

I think this part is when the phone intiates and tries to connect after entering PIN:

I don't know what means: MM Reject Cause from RIL: 0

and:

The CME ERROR: 30 means: No network service

Then when I manually searched the available networks:

(Virgin Mobile uses the Orange network)

Does this mean I have done something wrong, or has it not worked and how do I get it to work,

The desire was locked to 3, and I want to use it on o2 and virgin.

any advice would be welcomed

thanks
[Desire General] sieempi:
Tiny update.

v0.9.2 - If you have problems connecting with the phone, simply boot your Desire in Hboot menu (Vol-Down + power), connect to computer via usb cable and wait for the menu title to change to HBOOT USB PLUG; only and only then should you start the app; it might work this way for some of you.

I've done boot CD start it then I enter in the "E" directory(the CD) how can I start it or should I coz in that case when I connect the phone nothing heppend.
[Desire General] dur09:
if you boot it right, you will see a black window and there will be written something about plugging your desire, so that program starts on its own, maybe you have to press some key

damn its very easy...

I am using Oxygen HBOOT and Alpharev modified Recovery, could it be because of that?

OK, it looks like it is working right now. I went to Settings and played with the network operators->Search automatically stuff, and the connection stays now.

I don't believe it's related to sim lock, but to the way your provider has setup your phone..
[Desire General] WarningHPB:
GAH i really wish i knew about this before i called T-Mobile a few days ago and forking out £15 :( that's just my luck really lol

So what's the difference between the code that T-Mobile provides and your method of unlocking? apart from the obvious in that you enter a code in one instance and you boot into a program in the other.

does it modify a file or change some numbers?

is this similar to unlocking the Desire Z?

same problem as post 989*******FIXED

Hi, I have the same problem as post 989, and i have windows 7 ultimate.

I haven't installed anything related to the desire besides de adb driver.

Do I need HTC Sync?

I am using v094 and get the same message, it just doesn't do anything.

Thank you

EDIT ****************************FIX FOUND

After 4 hours of trying this with v094 I found it didn't work for me.

So I dl'ed v02a, the ISO image and everything went JUST FINE.

Here is what I did, hope it works for you all:

-I installed Android SDK and HTC Drivers, just in case.

-Download YUMI USB Tool (just google it, I can't post links).

-Be sure to have a pendrive woth you and burn the ISO file there (instructions are in the creator's page).

-Reboot computer and change your Boot Device Priority in case you haven't USB Disk before HDD in the boot priority list.

-Now the USB Stick will boot instead of Windows and all you have to do is switch on the phone in HBOOT mode (vol down + power at the same time) and connect it.

-The program will do the rest, wait for the message "Done!" and the phone will reboot. Try another SIM card and you'll find out if it worked.
