Success - But not really

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBBOT-6.93.1002 (revo)

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.17-05.23

So I hboot usb, ran the tool, told me success and rebooted. Tried three different sims and now I have a permanent "No SIM card". Can't find the old bravo.5.14.05.17.zip radio anywhere (did find md5sum 48bab65d6035177478a83fe32fb81d89). Any ideas for me folks? At the moment, my phone is not a phone.

If anyone can help me figure out downgrading my hboot (since a few pages back I hear the 100x are no go), I'd really appreciate it. Edit: Left the battery out for an hour at the advice of a friend, SIMs are recognized again. Very strange, since I didn't need to shim the card and all the pins appear in good shape.

I've tried about 6 different roms and I can't manage to get the SIM unlock prompt to occur anymore after using the tool (pretty sure that's why). I bought an unlock code before I found it but never had any luck (was told I needed a fresh flash to get 'er going). Any idea why I can't sim unlock this phone? It's pretty useless locked to my provider, but great otherwise.

Hello,

it worked fine for me, HTC Desire GSM, S-OFF running CM7/4ext recovery.

Thanks for this, I really wish I could see how you got to bypass the SIM lock.

Thanks
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Wait what?
[Desire General] MarkelofRazr:
Does it work with Desire X ???
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
No, it doesn't. For the last time people, HTC Bravo ONLY.
[Desire General] :
Hi, I used the unlock utility, but now my phone is stuck at the HTC logo!

What can I do?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Are you rooted?
[Desire General] :
I don't know what rooted is.

The phone is/was locked to Vodafone, stock rom etc, never tried to change anything about it.

After I tried to perform the unlock, the phone stuck into the white screen.

Now, it starts, (goes past the white screen), but as it enters the UI, it restarts again. It does that for several times. Then it freezes again to the white screen.

I have also tried to restore/clear the phones data through the bootloader, resulting to another frozen white screen.

Also, in the many times that i tried to restart it, once or twice it gave me the 7 vibrations. I don't know if that is good or bad, but a quick google search doesn't look good.

Could unlocking the phone cause this? Also , how do i fix it??

Thanks
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Download the zip in my sig linked as the 2.3 RUU. Put that zip on your the root of your sd-card (outside any folder), boot in bootloader, and select yes.

This will flash the official 2.3 firmware from htc, and the phone will hopefully boot.
[Desire General] :
Ok, I have tried to install it, but it said update failed because Radio V2 failed to update!

Now my phone just starts and vibrates 7 times!!

What should I do?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
You have what is known as a radio brick. Somehow, the utility broke your radio. The only thing you can do is flashing the RUU many times and hope it will eventually work.

Unfortunately, few phones come back to life after a radio brick.
[Desire General] :
how do i flash the RUU again?

when i download it, the .exe file says that it cannot find the phone.

Also this is what I get when I am in the bootloader. Don't know what it means but it might help?

In bootloader, what happens when you enter "recovery"?
[Desire General] :
Ok, I have followed instructions from this thread (instuction 7) in order to reinstall RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275632

I have managed to reinstall an RUU, specifically a Vodafone Rom.

The installation seemed to work fine, however I still get the 7 vibrations.

Hboot

When i enter recovery, it gives me the 7 vibrations.

update 1:

I tried to reinstall the hboot Alpharev Downgrader PB99IMG and restart the phone, with the chance maybe it would work, and now it gives me all sort of crazy.

it doesnt give me the 7 vibrations anymore, but it's now stuck at htc white screen, Once it tried to move forward, but it restarted to the same screen and stuck

update 2:

I tried to install using the same way RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe

but mid way through the process the phone switched off and it doesnt switch on anymore.

did I brick the phone??

HTC Desire (Bravo) unlock SIM - Am I just being plain stupid?

Hi all,

I'm not so much a newbie to the whole rooting, hacking, modding android scene, however the HTC Desire has thrown me -_-

Spent most of today on the web trying to work out how to unblock an HTC Desire (Bravo) which I got today. It's locked to the Orange network currently (which I checked first is about £20 to unblock...no way am I parting with that sort of money when I know - hacks are friends lol)

So, currently this is the state of the phone...oh which I need to get unblocked to use with a Tesco PAYG SIM (if the info was required):

Not sure how worthwhile that will be...a lot different from the Samsung Galaxy SIII I have recently rooted also...so much easier in my opinion although didn't need it to unlock the phone for a different SIM.

I have tried just about everything in the book so far but as far as I can see the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5 is apparently the way to go to complete the process and get it unblocked...also tried HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.4 to no avail either.

Have I just become a complete numpty whilst trying these?

I receive no errors when running the .exe files whilst in HBOOT, but as soon as the phone boots up it just tells me 'No Service' then it'll come up with the Network Operators screen asking to choose from the available networks consisting of:

O2 - UK

T-Mobile UK

3 UK

vodafone UK

Orange

Why does Tesco mobile not appear on this list, especially when I can put the SIM in another phone (Alcatel OT-800 for reference) and it picks up perfectly. I did attempt to use O2 - UK as I know Tesco piggy-backs their network signal but it sits on 'Registering' for a few minutes, restarts, but no change!

Hope somebody can put me out of my misery, I'm sure its something really stupid that I've overlooked and in which case I apologise big time for unfortunately becoming a noob :(

Thanks,

Andy B

Run this:

fastboot oem writesku 2 FFFFFFFF

fastboot oem writesku 3 FFFFFFFF

fastboot oem writesku A 767EAD39

and try again to setup you data connection with the settings from your provider.

If it's still not working, download and run a RUU and see if it changes anything. Or maybe play with the settings from this hidden menu: *#*#4636#*#*

And again, check your provider's settings. There might be something wrong with your settings.. You'd eventually have to call customer support..
[Desire General] cr381ve:

Setting APN settings manually resolved no data connection. I'm now good to go. Thank you very much. This is excellent.

No data problem. The settings are the same on my HTC Legend and the phone works fine with the same simcard.

Just wanted to say it worked like a charm for me, thanks sieempi, I've just paypaled you a beer. I came back to France after living in the UK for some time where my Desire on T-Mobile network served me well, and your unlock basically prevented me from buying a new phone.

I also want to quote Shaizer here, his step-by-step guide has been burried under pages and pages of questions but it's been very useful for me. I'm far from being an expert and always a bit worried when attempting such things, so a quick guidance is always great !

Hi there,

I'm new to this Android thing coming from a totally stock Htc 8x.

I did all the steps listed and eventually got it to prompt me to unlock bootloader, it then says device isn't compatible but the HTC Desire C is on the list.

I've started the process on htcdev.com which seems more complicated than a quick tool.

Any suggestions on what I can do? The phone is completely stock on 3uk and not rooted.

This tool here will not work for the HTC Desire C. It only works for the HTC Desire (Bravo).

As for unlocking your bootloader, ask in your device's section.

Hey Guys

Wondering if anyone could help me out here.

I have tried the steps written to try to unlock the HTC desire G7 but for some reason the adb file does not open and the unlocking software does not perform the unlock. I have read somewhere that partitioning of the SD card may have some reason behind it. If someone could shed some light on this then it would be greatly appreciated! Also it may be worth noting that the phone is not rooted and it is running Android version 2.3

Thanks a lot :)
