Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble here, I boot the utility, all goes well, it shows "boot:" But nothing happens on the phone.

I've tried restarted the PC with it both plugged in and disconnected, in both HBOOT and FASTBOOT. Neither of the headlines will change to "HBOOT USB PLUG" or anything.

In fact, when I plug it in, it flashes saying "HBOOT USB PLUG"! Then goes straight back to just "HBOOT". Am I doing something wrong?

*EDIT* Sorted it, my own damn fault, picked up a DVD-R without even looking at it...burned onto a CD-R and worked perfectly in about 6 seconds flat!

Boot from the the iso via usb or cd
[Desire General] Rohaq:
So how did I manage to do it in VirtualBox?

Just because you couldn't do it, does not mean that it can't work. :p
[Desire General] Geordie Boyo:
See my htc desire setup on my sig using the latest radio and on win7 pc. Worked, cheers.
[Desire General] hilcro:
have tried this utility several times to unlock a 3 sim lock desire i have tried with 3 sim without sim with alternative sim virginmedia and o2.. with different cds. I switch off comp boot cd loads the utility no problem although on one computer i get a firmware error while utility is loading doesnt stop it from loading???? so then i followed the instructions all went to plan or so i thought computer restarts however phone doesnt so reboot phone manually tried both shut down and reset from the fastboot menu tried lots of times but no joy... so then tried different comp didnt work first time phone still not resetting automatically then tried again cannot remember if i used reboot or shutdown option from the fastboot menu to reset. The second time it worked however phone did not reset automatically the copmuter did i kept the usb cable connected and then i used the shutdown option from the fastboot menu..nb both times on the second computer i had the virginmedia sim card in so not sure this makes a difference..

hope this helps and many thanks great utilty
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
lol fair enough i guess i should of said does not work well.

it is also possible for the dev to get better feedback (and improve the tool if needed)

[Desire General] buzmay:
Is this only for the Desire, or could it be used in the wildfire also?
[Desire General] jimbob1067:
yes it didnt work, iso burnt easily laptop boots up, and program suggests successful???
[Desire General] dijipo:
Did that...It worked :D thanks so much.

At first, after I hit a key, I got a load of errors, but eventually it worked :D
[Desire General] sieempi:
Sometimes the feedback from phone is confusing and the app thinks everything went ok; so yes, there are some false positives.. sorry about that.. I'll try to correct it in a future version. You can, however, keep trying a few more times and tell us if anything happens.. I also didn't implement many debug info in it so I can't help you if it eventually fails. You'll have to wait..
[Desire General] jimbob1067:

[Desire General] jimbob1067:
Done!! came up with errors??? cant remember what they were. But tried a mates which maybe blocked as "lost" and it wont unlock. Also an orange phone but earlier radio
[Desire General] Singh400:
Worked! THANKS! On Orange here, bought directly from Orange.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
If there are any problems with this it will be more likely to come from Orange than any other as they are quite aggressive in locking their phones up so it's nice to see it's worked for some of you already.

Won't need this just yet as i have only just started my contract but 18 months down the line if i don't get offered an upgrade this may come in very handy so have kept for later. Thanks to the Dev
[Desire General] DTBrum:
Did not work for me either.

Reports Done.

Phone still simlocked.
[Desire General] sieempi:
Everyone with unsuccessful results so far should try v0.2a at least a couple of times (even if you have the Done! message but still got the simlock). Wait for the phone to reboot.

Also you can make a bootable USB-Stick using this tool:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/

(just put the iso on the pen drive and boot it)
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
which network are you on . if you are on orange might be worth another shot as some have managed to unlock the second time around. Not sure of how you did yours but seems to work better if you burn the ISO rather than mount it :)
[Desire General] Singh400:
Worth pointing out I was on Orange, and it did it the first time. Plenty of errors came up, but it eventually said "done".
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
I would post up what your hboot and radio specs are.
[Desire General] mrcola:
Hi nice work.

unlocked mine last night

Just wondering what is the tech behind

Is it going to lock itself if the firmware and radio are updated

cheers
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
It will not relock, it sets a flag in the radio NV thats not over written by flashes of any type.
[Desire General] azazel71:
could i ask would this utility work with a desire HD? forgive me if its a stupid thing to ask but didnt think there would be to much difference between the two phones. thanks .
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
What hboot is the DHD anyways.

Also there are other methods to unlock the DHD and Desire Z are there not? the gfree method?
[Desire General] azazel71:
Forgive me mr x im new to the android forums and am still learning,do you know of any links that might be usefull for me to read

through,and how can i find what Hboot im on,im assuming it will be in my system settings somewere
[Desire General] smashs:

This worked for me first time t-mobile desire

Since then I have tried Orange, Vodaphone and O2 UK sims all work perfectly the one benefit of this is it gives me the opportunity to test different networks to see who has the best signal etc

Job well done

[Desire General] TheOneOnlyX:
I am extremely new to this and I live in Canada...i recently bought the HTC Desire online but is locked to Telus...Will this tool enable me to use it with Rogers? any help would be appreciated...i don't have the phone on me so i can't check the radio or H-boot, whatever those things are...
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Yes it will, If you have problems PM me i will walk you through it or if you run linux and have issues i can connect to you remotely and unlock it manually by hand.
[Desire General] Muhilica:
Tried it using bootable CD.

1st try: reported all done (but with a full screen of errors before that) ...but...no go: Phone boots ok but simlocked.

2nd try: reported all done BUT with only 3 errors before reporting to be done. All OK this time.

Seems to give false positives but, eventually, it DOES work.

Thank you :)
[Desire General] snowwall:
Works great

Just did that on my desire.

Had difficulties to get the "HBoot USB plug" message. Don't know why.

Once i got that message, press any key and wait.

I had "strange" quite negative log like "fail error -1" etc.

At the very end had a "done" message. Rebooted, works fine.

Just a hint : for those who do not want to burn a CD you can use UNETBOOTIN to drop the ISO on any USB key. Then boot on your key and ... you're done :)

I'm new to Desire and this site - so help please!

I've debranded from TMO with Froyo 2.29.405.5 and now wish to unlock. I've burnt the utility ISO and run it but I can't get into HBOOT on the phone (Power and + or -) just the "No SIM card in phone" or "Network Locked" screens.

What should I do (details please)?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Turn off phone.

Hold volume down and power.
[Desire General] riahc3:
Die. Die slow. You have no ideas about PCs at all.

Are you going to update the application, with a better method or to fix false positives?

Its uneasy (although there are near 100% success stories) that a utility throws general errors and works sometimes and others it doesnt.

Im going to try this this afternoon with a CD-RW (this method first) and then a LiveUSB.

BTW, you seem to be avoiding the Wildfire questions. I imagine you do not know as you problably only have a Desire but it would be nice if you address it.

Thank you very much for making the utility.
[Desire General] riahc3:
BTW, some of you ask about a HTC Desire HD method, it seems gfree can do it.
[Desire General] abbeymill:
Success

I'd being doing that but still no HBOOT. However by removing battery and replacing it then goes into HBOOT - you can tell I'm new to this! Ran the utility, first time a false positive (without simcard and HBOOT option FASTBOOT). Ran again, (with simcard and HBOOT option SIMLOCK - not sure if this made any difference) and success!!

This was after trying a couple of the bait and switch scam sites offering unlock codes (thankfully money back via Paypal), so many thanks and a donation on its way.

any help thanks :)
[Desire General] riahc3:
Worked first time around. Here are the steps I took:

NOTE: The Desire forgets your Google password so you will have to reenter it after this is done

Required:

At least a 16MB pendrive/usb drive/etc

A HTC Desire GSM (It only works for this phone. Do not try others)

A PC

A HTC Desire USB cable

Your brain, eyes, and hands

1: Your phone should not be connected to the PC.

2: Download the .ISO

3: Using as reference this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11198279&postcount=38 make the ISO into a LiveUSB. A LiveUSB drive is ALOT better than a CD-R as it is read better (and faster) than optical media.

4: Power down your phone completely with the simcard of the company it is locked to inserted and boot into HBOOT/recovery/etc mode (Power + Vol Down held at the same time). It should say HBOOT on the screen of your phone somewhere

5: Turn off your PC

6: Do not plug in your phone into your PC

7: Insert your LiveUSB drive into the PC

8: Turn on your PC making sure you boot from a removable drive (If you cant, then burn the .ISO to a CD and boot from the CD)

9: Select from the menu that you want to boot from a ISO

10: Wait until it gets to the screen that says that you have to plug in your phone

11: Plug in your USB cable to your PC and the other end to the phone

12: The phone should show instead of HBOOT, I believe it is HBOOT USB.

13: Once you read and see that everything is fine (I add this to make sure that there is just a couple of seconds to make sure everything sees each other) press Enter on your PCs keyboard

14: Wait. Your PC should say shortly "Done!" and that it should shutdown in 10 seconds and shortly before/later your phone will start restarting. DO NOT REMOVE THE CABLE OR THE LIVEUSB.

15: After your PC shuts down, the phone will still be doing things.

16: After it has finished doing things (and restarting once or twice even), if you are presented with the PIN lock dialog, you should turn off completely your phone at this point. If your phone continues to load, wait for the system and the home screen to fully load (it may even show the dialog asking your Google password, this is great). When this occurs, turn off completely your phone.

17: Insert a sim which is NOT the same company it is locked to.

18: Normally turn on your phone and see what happens (in my case, the PIN lock didnt even pop up so it may be the same or might have been something on my part).

This is all on the first try. If it does not work for you, to quote a dumbass "You are holding it wrong"

I recommend a LiveUSB instead of a LiveCD as optical lecture is not as stable as a serial bus. If you cant, then use the LiveCD.
[Desire General] xpath:
well thanks for the help but i followed your guide to the letter,

the laptop restarts but the phone does not it stays on the hboot screen.

must be some thing else thats preventing the simlock removal from working.
[Desire General] NOR-ALEX:

[Desire General] riahc3:
Since it seems you didnt want to read my tutorial, Im not going to even translate it for you, Google Translate will. I refuse to give you any further help:

Trabalhou pela primeira vez ao redor. Aqui estão os passos que dei:

NOTA: O Desejado esquece sua senha do Google, assim você terá que digitá-la após isso é feito

Requerido:

Pelo menos uma pendrive de 16MB / USB / etc

A HTC Desire GSM (Funciona apenas para este telefone. Não tente outros)

Um PC

A HTC Desire cabo USB

Seu cérebro, olhos e mãos

1: Seu telefone não deve ser conectado ao PC.

2: Baixe o ISO.

3: Usando como referência a esse post: http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=38 fazer a ISO em um LiveUSB. Uma unidade de LiveUSB é muito melhor do que um CD-R como se lê melhor (e mais rápido) do que as mídias ópticas.

4: Desligue o telefone completamente com o simcard da empresa que está bloqueado para inserir e iniciar a recuperação em HBOOT / modo / etc (Power + Vol. Down realizada ao mesmo tempo). Ele deve dizer HBOOT na tela de seu telefone em algum lugar

5: Desligue o seu PC

6: Não ligue o telefone em seu PC

7: Insira o disco LiveUSB para o PC

8: Ligue o computador fazendo boot a certeza de uma unidade removível (Se você não pode, em seguida, queimar o ISO para um CD e arrancar a partir do CD.)

9: Selecione o menu que pretende iniciar a partir de uma ISO

10: Espere até que ele chegue à tela que diz que você tem que conectar seu telefone

11: Ligue o cabo USB ao seu PC ea outra extremidade do telefone

12: O telefone deve mostrar, em vez de HBOOT, eu acredito que é HBOOT USB.

13: Depois de ler e ver que está tudo bem (eu acrescento que isso certifique-se que há apenas alguns segundos para se certificar que tudo vê do outro), pressione Enter no teclado do seu PC

14: Aguarde. Seu PC deve dizer em breve "Feito!" e que deve desligamento em 10 segundos e pouco antes / depois, o telefone vai começar a reiniciar. NÃO RETIRE O cabo ou o LiveUSB.

15: Depois de o PC é desligado, o telefone ainda será fazer as coisas.

16: Depois que terminei de fazer as coisas (e reiniciar uma ou duas vezes ainda), se você for apresentada a janela de bloqueio do PIN, você deve desligar completamente o telefone neste momento. Se o seu telefone continua a carregar, espere o sistema e na tela inicial para carregar totalmente (pode até mostrar a caixa de diálogo solicitando a sua senha do Google, isso é ótimo). Quando isso ocorrer, desligue completamente seu celular.

17: Inserir um SIM que não é a mesma empresa que está bloqueado.

18: Normalmente, liga o telefone e ver o que acontece (no meu caso, o bloqueio de PIN didnt mesmo pop-up para que ele possa ser o mesmo ou pode ter sido algo de minha parte).

Isso é tudo na primeira tentativa. Se isso não funcionar para você, para citar um idiota "Você está segurando tudo errado"

Eu recomendo um LiveUSB, em vez de um LiveCD como palestra óptica não é tão estável como um barramento serial. Se você não puder, use o LiveCD.
[Desire General] scoobienoobienoo:
I'm an idiot

OK, I tried the method as outlined on page 42 to the letter. I tried this several times in a row. Then after that, tried variations with and without SIM card in, but the phone never booted up unlocked after the power-down.

Here's the stupid part, when I tried with variations, near the last couple of iterations, I clicked the SIMLOCK function with the new simcard in the device. Now when running the unlock utility, the phone does not appear to leave the HBOOT menu by rebooting or anything.

My set up is:

Softbank (Japan carrier)

T-mobile US (new sim)

Please spare any comments about me reading or tinkering. I've been lurking for a couple of months reading prior to messing with the device at all.

Can anyone tell me what I may have done to the device as a result?

UPDATE:

Phone with original Softbank SIM will not allow me to register on T-Mobile or ATT anymore (I hit SIMLOCK with the T-mobile SIM in it) Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network. So no service with either card.

crap.

Thanks.
[Desire General] WeeJockMacFeegle:
2nd time lucky for me. Seemed to work 1st time with PC and phone rebooting but no joy. 2nd time, both PC and phone rebooted again, but this time my O2 mobile accepted my Vodafone SIM.

Good work.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
People the simlock option in the Hboot is not to check and see if its the sim lock is enabled or disabled. I'm not sure what it does but i know for a fact its not for that purpose. I may in fact lock the device to the sim you have inserted so dont use it.

How are you booting the iso to unlock?
[Desire General] scoobienoobienoo:
Yeah, I thought SIMLOCK would give a sub-menu with more information. I booted iso from USB. Booting this way worked fine. After SIMLOCK the unlock utility gives the message that all is well, but the phone remains in HBOOT menu and does nothing.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
What os are you running.

If you have linux i have an idea.
[Desire General] scoobienoobienoo:
Ubuntu 10.04
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
I sent you a PM
[Desire General] riahc3:
Did I in any moment in the tutorial say anything about the option SIMLOCK?

FOLLOW THE STEPS PEOPLE....
[Desire General] scoobienoobienoo:
UPDATE on SIMLOCK

FYI, I found the following:

Replace stock sim-card, power down, follow original recipe for sim-unlock utility results in full functionality restoration (as far as I can tell, get roaming and can register on networks).

Powering down the device with aftermarket sim-card and following the recipe results in the device staying in HBOOT menu and not rebooting.

Powering down the device with no sim-card and following the recipe results in the device rebooting with no error messages.

However, in all cases, powering on the device with the aftermarket SIM-card inserted results in a PIN unlock code request even after restarting the phone.

Thanks, and I hope this may help anyone who hit SIMLOCK while probing around for answers when the utility did not unlock their phone after multiple attempts.

If anyone has any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong to get this unlock to work, I'm all ears. My phone is on Softbank (Japan) and I'm sure they've dicked with the software a bit.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
