Does anyone know how to sim unlock this phone?
I got mine locked on Orange Romania but i live in Italy. Unfortunately, people around here in italy don't seem to have a clue about how to unlock it. I know a dude that had my phone for a few days , but then he called me back telling me that it's kind of risky to put jtag on this thing as orange might have changed the stock bootloader and if he flashes the stock rom , the phone might get bricked.
Now , looking at htcdevs website , reading faqs , it appears that sim lock doesn't even reside into the firmware and it isn't protected by the bootloader. It seems to reside in a totally different area which is protected by S-ON and which wouldn't be touched at all even if i reflash the firmware or unlock the bootloader.
Any clues folks?
I might just try to obtain an unlock code from something like unlockhtc.co , for 9 bucks i guess it is worth a try. I would still have 9 remaining tries if this one fails. Btw , do you know if the website i posted is reliable or not?

Thanks in advance and sorry for this long love letter! :angel:

There is a way for the desire 500 and the desire 200, but I don't know if it will work for this device.

First of all your device needs to be rooted and you need to have busybox installed. Post it when your device is rooted and busybox is installed, and I'll see if I can help you.

Phone rooted,busybox installed.
Btw, htc did a check on my imei, and they said that my phone does not appear to be locked nor branded. Then how the hack did orange locked this device?

Before you start anyway, check whether you actually have a simlock by inserting another simcard in your phone. Because some people try to remove their when they don't have one, which obviously doesn't work.

Then, post the output of
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p#
Where # is number 1 to 15. It will mostly be a lot of rubbish, but your unlock code might somewhere inside the rubbish. For our phone, it's partition number 7

I've managed to root it using vroot but you have to install the usb drivers as they aren't bundled with vroot installation (or any other rooting tool apparently).
To have the drivers installed , i used a small program called PdaNet+ , which can be found on google. I'm not allowed to post links due to my low number of posts otherwise i would've provided you the links to each single tool you need.

Rooting was simple and fast and you can do it by following this guide you'll find by searching "how to root any android device using vroot" in google. Click on the first link.


Rooting with vroot however installs a chinese program called superuser which you'll have to replace with SuperSU. You can do that by following a guide you'll find by searching "How-to-Remove-Replace-VRoot-Chinese-superuser-with-SuperSU" in google. Again , click on the 1st link.


This is it , if you did anything right , you should have your device rooted. If you need help , drop a reply or a pm.

I'll check some more sim cards once i get back home. I remember however that i tried to use my current sim card and it asked for a code which i guess it isn't a pin code as i had 10 tries left (pin can be inserted 3 times) , plus the sim has the pin disabled.

Where do i input the strings command? In busybox or android terminal emulator?

Since you can't input them in busybox, input them in the terminal emulator

Partition number 7 outputs 209 pages that i have saved in a pdf file. You have it archived in a rar archive , attached to this message.
In the meantime i'll try the rest of the partitions. In this one i didn't find anything interesting but perhaps i didn't know where to look.

Uhm I'm on linux. rar are no go. .zip?

btw it is probably another partition, it shouldn't output 209 pages

I've changed it to zip , however you still need a pdf viewer to read it.
I also posted the output of the 8th partition, I see this line there :

ro.product.carriercode=

, with no code at all. Was this the line we were looking for?

I guess i have to wait some time till someone looks into unlocking this device. I wasn't even able to find my IMEI in none of the blocks.

got my HTC back!

Yeahhhhh! Finally i got my phone back from the service. So, as far as I can see, no one is developing/porting rom for our phone, right? If you have any whatsoever info, please tell me. I would LOVE to see my phone running KK! And are there any news about the KK update? I asked in HTC LiveChat and they've told me that it depends on my carrier and country. So do anyone of you got the official software update?

Cheers!! ):highfive:

It should be updated to Kitkat due to the fact that it's a 2014 device so it's inside that lifecycle that htc uses when updates their smartphones.
However there is no phone running on mediatek chipset that has kitkat installed so i guess it's a matter of time till they sort out some compatibility issues (if there are any) and finally push kitkat towards our phones.

One more question, is it possible that i don't get any info from block 1 and only some repetitive info from blocks 2 and 3 with the message at the top "f_protected" and "s_protected" because i have my bootloader locked? Or is it the S-on that prevents me from seeing inside those blocks?

The root was successful using this method, however now the google play store does not work over wi-fi. it works perfectly on the mobile data connection, but not over any wi-fi connection. do you have this issue as well ?

 

[lupuradu]

My phone is sim locked therefore i can't test if it works via data connection, but i can assure you that
it works perfectly on wifi. Try resetting all of the apns and wifi networks and see if it works.
