HTC Desire Unlock Problem - GSM-Forum

aaronmarsh632 · 01-09-2013, 11:50

Hi,

I have an HTC Desire (Bravo) which was running HBOOT 1.02.0001 - I want to unlock the phone to all networks so I use XTC-Clip but the HBOOT is not supported at this time. So I found the Revoutionary tool to turn S-Off - I thought if I turn S-Off and create the goldcard with XTC for any HBOOT it may just start the unock software - It didn't.

So now the Revoutionary has updated the phones HBOOT to 6.93.1002 and S is Off but the phone still needs unlocking. How can I go about doing this? I think I need to downgrade the HBOOT back to 0.93.X001 if possible as this is unlockable with XTC. Or is there another way to do this?

Thanks

Aaron

Hi,

As your phone is now s-off, just flash stock RUU of old version 1.xx or 2.xx.
Boot-loader will be downgraded and you can go for unlock with XTC clip. =)

ahh, as simple as that

thanks for the info. Just a couple of questions - When I download a firmware for the phone does the radio on the phone have to match the radio incuded in the download or does it not matter? also once the phone has been unocked with xtc can the phone be updated again without oosing the unlock?

thanks

Hi,

It doesn't matter with S-off phones. And yes, after unlock you can update
to ANY ROM - stock or custom - phone will remain unlock.

Thats kwl, thanks for the info. Sorry for all the questions but I have just 1 more. How does the phone actually unock? I guess its not like a software patch else fashing firmware would erase it right? - unless you flash an aready unlocked rom?

I did find a tool caled 'Ultimate multi tool' which has an 'S-Off/Super CidSim unlock' option but its not running on my computer - it doesn't use an unlock box so does this work in a different way to xtc-clip?

thanks again

Hi,

Yeah, it isn't a patch unlock. XTC clip unlock is permanent, as it sets phone
to factory state and disable ANY security inside phone that will allow flash,
upgrade always!

Thanks for that its good to know.

I'm having a probem finding which rom to use with an unlockabe HBOOT. I have tried 2 roms on the site shipped-roms but the HBOOT isnt changing. Does anyone know which rom will work please? or am i missing something?

Thanks

Hi again, sorry for the mutiple posts today but from what I have read the revolutionary tool has some protection built in so that an RUU update cant overwrite the HBOOT on the phone - in this case I need it, does anyone know a way I can turn this protection off so the HBOOT will update during the RUU update?

Thanks

Ok, I figured out how to downgrade the HBOOT back to 0.93.0001 - Im just charging the phone up as the battery is pretty flat and then i'll test the unlock with xtc, if it all works ill post a tutorial in the xtc section with links for flash files.
