[htc] unlocking utility

simonsimons34 · Apr 3, 2012

I have been able to create a method of unlocking ANY unlockable hboot, on any device (as far as i can tell)
The method works on S-on, stock recovery devices. As of right now im linking to a specific device, however, if you only use the unlock youll be fine. I need testers from other HTC devices.

I can confirm this works for MetroPCS Widfire S A510c hboot 1.10.0000. It unlocked my bootloader just fine. No steps required from HTCDev.

Many thanks Simon! Keep up the great work.

Great news!

But it's not full S-OFF, is it?

simonsimons34 · Apr 3, 2012

Not yet. This sets you up for it. Soon an soff will be out the developers of it need kernel help and I'm tryin to help them get it working

..well when s-off is out? Really dont unerstand for what is your "unlocking utility" then?

This utility allows you to unlock your bootloader without HTCDev, thus saving your warranty

Simon is working on getting universal S-OFF with some other devs. Will take a few, but he'll get it.

with the option 1 of his tool "Bootloader Unlock CDMA ONLY" ??

bobdamnit · Apr 3, 2012

That I'm not too sure about. I was told it was universal but needed testing. Simon and I have confirmed it working on several CDMA HTC Wildfire S's. (The only HTC phones we have access to, currently.)

I would say wait for Simon to confirm it should work on GSM HTC phones. I only helped with the code, so I don't know much about the mechanics of the utility.

Sorry.

according the .bat file all the stuff seems to be specific to the wildfire. So I don't undersand why simon is asking us to test it on other devices ?

Because this method should work on ANY HTC phone with ANY hboot. We are asking you to try it so it can be confirmed. (Confirmed on Marvelc only so far.)

If you know batch, you can absolutely modify it to your liking.

Also, if you had read the original post:

If you read the .bat file you can see that this can't work on another device

S-OFF, no. That onlly works on CDMA Widlfire S. Unlock, yes. That should work on ANY HTC device, no matter what the batch file is calling. (It will still perform as it is supposed to.)

I helped write the batch file dude.

...can you attach the batch file here?

No I cannot. Since I am not claiming to be the author (only helped him a bit), I will not post their work. If Simon wants to release it, I'm sure he will.

I will however, give you a hint. Download the exe and run it. Leave it open and check your temp files. The batch file is in there somewhere.

Also, guys, give it a shot. At best, it works. At worst, it doesnt, and you still have a locked bootloader.

simonsimons34 · Apr 3, 2012

GUYS I will tell you how it works soon heck ill make its own release if you guys arnt suited with it. I just need to know if option one works. It uses a temp root pulls your misc img and modifys YOUR misc. This then flashes removes temp root and you have an unlocked bootloader. Just make sure your bootloader is up to date. There is nothing specific in the unlock

...well tried it on my HTC One X. no joy.
At least its says still "Locked" in bootloader.

simonsimons34 · Apr 3, 2012

Can you make sure no errors were thrown when temp rooting ? Or errors at all. Sometimes it tries to push too soon. Also can you try downgradeing to the lowest possible

simonsimons34 · Apr 3, 2012
