Whilst I understand the need for caution, if the exploit is hardware related then obviously this utility probably would work if it looks for a particular register then also unlikely but if it looks for a s/w variable then might be worth a shot. Haven't seen a lot of activity on the legend thread relating to this issue. I have no issue with the most recommended approach of buying the unlock code but in my case the IMEI is only registered with HTC(not a carrier)so unlikely to be able to source through normal channels.
[Desire General] sieempi:
It's software related, that's why It might work..
[Desire General] t-c:
Thanks,

If I run it, given that it may or may not work is there anything that can't be rectified by an RUU if it causes an issue or is it fairly benign?
[Desire General] sieempi:
It won't do any harm at all, and in the worst case scenario it will simply simply not work.

I don't think it will work, though, I said the idea could be applied to other devices given those requirements, and I doubt they are fulfilled.
[Desire General] t-c:
Gave it a go;

Legend PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT - 1.0000

Microp - 0816

Touch Panel - SYN07_0103

Radio - 7.13.35.13

And the operation gives a positive response but the device remains locked.

There appears to be no side affects to the procedure so no harm in having tried.

With your permission, I may post a link to this in the Legend forum seeing if anyone can take up the challenge of getting it to work for that device.

Bugger... you're right, it didn't work :(

It said it did work, but when I tried an o2 sim in it it said "network locked" and wanted an 8 digit pin...

I should have done this before upgrading to 2.3 GRRRR

Is there an easy way to downgrade it to unlock it? when my contract is up I want to put a giffgaff sim in it.

[Desire General] bizalich:
Hello: I have a Desire GSM that was given to me, and i assume it needs unlocking since when in HBOOT menu it says SIMLOCK. I have burned the iso to a USB, using the utility recommended in this thread. I have ran the ISO program about a dozen times, and each time it says DONE xD. However, the phone does not restart and i cannot get it to work. I have ran the ISO with and without a SIM, and with and without the SD memory card.

When i turn on the phone normally, it comes up with a total white screen with the HTC logo in green and it vibrates like 6 times, and stays locked on that screen. Maybe the phone has a hardware issue? Thoughts from this forum would be great, since it seems like the only place of any real knowledge.

Plus, i wanna paypal a beer to someone--who knows whats up with this phone?

yes, thank you for this tip, but i am having the same problem. my question is, do you guys who know more about these phones than me think that my problem of not being able to boot past the white screen with green HTC logo mean that there is a larger hardware problem with the phone?

Please Help

Hi

I am trying to unlock my HTC desire (Android 2.2) locked to T-mobiled.

In the instruction posted in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726 it states that I need to

"Burn the iso" = does this mean that I need to download it and burn it into a CD? (I have burned into a CD but as downloaded in the ISO) Was I meant to extract it and then burn it without the ISO?

"Boot it" = May I ask what this actually means? I have no clue.

"power up your phone into HBOOT by pressing both Vol-Down and Power and follow the instructions" I have turned on the phone as per the instruction and it brings me to a screen which says HBOOT and then asks which one I want to select "fastboot", "recovery", "clear storage" and "simlock".

I select "simlock" and then it brings me to a screen which says "FAT32 init OK", "Open MCCMNC file fail" and "Open CID file fail" and further below "Process done, reboot device?" with the only option <VOL UP> Yes.

Basically I do not know when the phone and the software posted in this link come into contact and how the software carries the unlocking process.

Apologies but I don't understand this because I am not a developer, I have no clue about development.

Do you think you can help?

Kind regards
[Desire General] psycho693:
When you burn it, you use a program called powerISO Go here... http://www.poweriso.com/

"boot it" means to boot the cd when your computer first starts up (if you need more information on that just ask)

Hboot yes when it comes up saying Hboot you leave it at that screen do NOT select any of the options given on the phone. plug it into your computer via USB. and then after that it follow the instructions shown on your computer screen and that is it.. hopefully I helped if not just ask anymore questions
[Desire General] basil.elsh:
Hey so if use this software to sim unlock it, it's permanent right?? so i can install any rom like cyanogenmod 7 or miui and the phone will stay sim unlocked??

Hi Sieempi,

I tried the following on VirtualBox 32bit Win Prof

HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.exe (HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.rar -> stand alone archive) from the command prompt

Hi sieempi!

Its great to see someone using their time to help others like this and by the look of this thread you are rather good at whatever it is you do with the Desire!

I am having some issues however. Your exe wouldnt work for me, as described above. So I downloaded the older boot version (2.0a) and tried to with that about 10 times, to no avail.

Is their a newer bootable version? Would me telling you anything about my desire be of use for you, if you are kind enough to help me?

Thanks

Yano.
[Desire General] sieempi:
@cool2bdave

I can't figure it out.. Extract all the files from the archive to a folder, run the app again and report the result. Make sure you have the drivers installed correctly (check in device manager if you have Android usb devices / bootloader interface etc)

@Yanoplathizo

No newer linux version..try as much as you want with the iso, maybe you'll have luck..

I also didn't understant what were your problems with the exe.

Post your hboot screen, it might help..
[Desire General] andreigherghe:
M...M...Mac version please? Or if not, maybe a link to the old ISO? ^_^

[Desire General] sieempi:
You're right, I reposted bootable linux download link. I forgot about you special people.. :p
