[UPG]New and fastest way to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin[ONLINE]

Not sure if this should be part of the other unlocking thread, but I've created another way to get the unlock code for the Elf/Elfin, and it's much faster. I've tested it on two phones so far.
1) First, unzip the contents of the attachment.
2) Then connect your Elf/Elfin to Activesync, and then run the unlocker.bat to get your unlock code (must be 8 digits).
As always, to unlock the phone, you need to first obtain a SIM card that is not from your provider. When you insert the card, it will ask for the SIM unlock code, so enter the code from my program. (You can test the SIM unlock by going on eBay and searching for "gsm sim card" - you can get them for very cheap.)
NOTE: If you're having issues running this in Windows Vista 64-bit edition, do this: Open Windows File Explorer, right-click on every EXE file in this archive, go to properties/compatibility, and then change compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Then click Apply and run the unlocker.bat.
(Thanks Cyzeek!)
If the unlock code is not working for you: Please run the device_info.bat tool from this link. Look for the value called "MCC+MNC". Most likely your phone won't unlock with this solution because your MCC+MNC is None!
UPDATE 05/26/09: If the unlock code is not working for you, then follow the instructions here for another solution that might work. Thanks to zerostuff for finding it!!
If it still doesn't unlock, then you are out of luck and need to find a paid solution.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

Problem
I've done what you've said and the program gives me my 8-digit code. But when I insert SIM and input the code it says incorrect. I've tried other programs from this site and the code that give me is always the same: 27615857. Please help me. Thanks in advance

I had this problem too in the past, I don't know how the unlock number worked a few months later. Do you have the stock ROM on it? Have you also tried hard reset? Even though the SIM code is in another area of the device from the OS, maybe there is some way it gets changed or gets accepted.

First, I want to thank you for the fast reply
I've haven't changed the ROM and after it doesn't unlock too. It says that I've entered wrong code 9 times, when I've tried to enter my unlock code for the first time they was 7 but I've entered it 2 times and this is it. If I change the ROM would the counter Reset and probably accept my code ?

That's a good suggestion. From what I remember, I tried to unlock using the stock Rogers ROM. Then I unlocked it while I had PDA Viet.
Let us know what happens.

OK I'll try. But how I must change the ROM
I have this HTC from yesterday and I don't understand anything about it.
If there is post with instructions for ROM changing it would be helpful

Read the sticky thread at the top of the forum and get these done:
1) Find your device ID (check my sig)
2) Back up your device (again, my sig) or obtain the shipped ROM for it (for warranty purpose or to unbrick)
3) Flash the latest USPL (see my sig)
4) Flash any cooked or dumped ROM (try not to flash any shipped ROM that is not from your provider yet)

Hehe that's life ;-) Do you have access to Rapidshare or do you need a mirror?

I can DL from Rapid but I'm using free user and I have limit on the count of DL-ed files, but if I change my IP I will be allowed to download again, right?

I didn't know there was a limit. But you can only download one at a time.

does the unlocker works with an touch xl (p3452) with original htc rom (provider austria a1) ?

I've done everything like you said. Now I'm with Rogers ROM and it doesn't want unlock. There is only one plus from the ROM changing - my HTC is in English, it was on Spanish before...
If you have other idea tell me to test

Actually I meant that I had attempted it while with the stock Rogers ROM and was unsuccessful. I got it going with PDA Viet.

You mean you already tried 9 times? Is it stuck at that screen? If so, remove the SIM and re-insert, and try again.

First choice for branded devices is the original ROM, so you are lucky to get it and it should work. The Vodafone V1415 is device where no official ROMs are available and there you have to use the "Gold Card" method (search for this in the Forum and Wiki). This will put a special key in the boot sector of a (non SDHC) card (devicetype and card-serial dependent) which allows you to load ANY ROM from the bootloader.

if u get it to work then tell me how u did that... i really want to know!!!
i got fed up when that happened to me.
when the htc logo continues, it means u phone is hanged. and even the time clock of the cpu stops. after 5-10 minutes u can also see the htc logo flickering a bit!!!
if u have the same problem then u will have to give your phone to the service center.

simple
you load bootloader (via camera button method)
next you start flasher from your PC and upload ROM
trick is to find the right ROM because when your phone is locked you can use only dedicated one which is compatible with your operator
otherwise there is a magic described above

i tried the method u stated. i always prefer this one over any other. but it did'nt work for me. now its the headache of service centre guys since it is still in warranty!!!

Did you lookup the Gold Card method? This WILL work - as this is exactly what the service will do. I am sure this is not a warranty case, but you maybe lucky.

yeah, i too think was not a warranty case but i gave a try and yes, i got lucky since this was the 6th time i gave my phone for a warranty claim.

OK, tired of trying new ROMs now? To be in the safe side you need to understand how things work:
1.) SIM-Lock (your phone is locked to a network/SIM Card) will stay even after ROM change. There are services to Unlock your phone and allow any SIM card. This has nothing to do with "Application Unlock".
2.) Application Un-Lock is the method to allow any program to run on your device. This is achieved by changing security settings in the registry of the WM operating system. Only privileged applications may do this - mostly "SDA Application Unlock" can do the job.
3.) Some devices are "branded" and the device carries a "Vendor ID" so that only ROMs can be put on the device where the ROM "Vendor ID" matches that of the device. Examples are: Orange E650, Vodafone VDA-V or V1415. This has nothing to do with SIM-Lock, even though many branded devices are SIM-locked as well (not VDA-V which I have one). The check for the Vendor-ID can be skipped either using a universal loader "USPL" (which is usually part of the cooked ROM distributions and called from a batchfile) or the "GoldCard method" which is your last resort and will ALWAYS work.
BTW: GoldCard is the slang for a special prepared microSD or miniSD card, not a SIM card! And it is NOT the process of loading a ROM from these cards - which is an alternate method of loading a ROM, e.g. if the Windows/USB is not an option.

does gold card method works with 4gb micro sdhc?

No it will not work with a SDHC card. The device in boot-loader moder seems not to be able to access the SDHC card. A normal (up to 2GB) card will work however - any size will do it as only the bootsector will get some bytes written to. The card remains usable - you can even take a card with data on it - writing the data to it to make it a "GoldCard" will not harm the data stored on it.
Mind that the key written is specific for a certain device-type, e.g. the Vox. It will work in any Vox then, however.

[Need help] sappImg.nbh for Japan docomo HT-03A (HTC Magic)

Good day.
first I will explain what I did...
I rooted my magic and flash the t-mobile myTouch 3G's rom without any problem. But what I want is to install Taiwan's rom. So I downloaded the RUU released by HTC taiwan and run it. The result of this action was failed during checkin the module ID. and it cause my phone stuck in RUU USB screen. I cannot enter neither fastboot nor adb. What i found out is I have a chance to recover my pone if i reflash the docomo's rom. So I need some help in looking the sappImg.zip or sappImg.nbh for Japan docomo ht-03A. Is there anyone who know where to get the file? Please help me...
Thank you.

is there a RUU for the image you need ? if yes , just run it and it should work, having a goldcard will bypass the ID peroblem to flash the Taiwan ROM. just put it in and restart then run RUU again.
When you run a ruu it will make a directory inside your temp (%temp%) and a zip file normally called rom.zip is there , rename it to sappimg.zip and you have got the file you want!

Dude forget it. Just make a gold card - 10 minutes is all it takes and flash to official taiwan rom which is by far the best rom at the moment. Cooked roms don't come even close to its speed and stability.

Solved [Q] HTC Desire Stuck on Fastboot s-on :(

Hi
Please help me my HTC Desire S stuck on fastboot and bootloader after change the hboot to 0.98.0000 s-on
i cant using adb to change the hboot ;(
i cant install my official rom ruu htc saga ara 1.36.415.1 ;( error 140 i dont know why my current rom 1.47.415.1 and i did that before
i cant install ruu htc saga europe 2.10.401.5 ;( error 131
i cant create goldcard cuz i dont know the sd card cid "i cant using adb on fastboot"
Plz tell me what can i do???

Well, I'm not sure there is a lot to do when you're S-ON. But I would give Android Flasher a try. It worked for me, even if adb couldn't recognize my phone.

Thanx my friend i will try it

Android flasher doesnt work with hboot S-ON.
U can make gold card on other android device. And then, u can run RUU Europe 1.28.
If you can't, you can take to Services or S-OFF by XTC-clip

I had the same problem, but do not dispair you can fix this.
Obviously one point you have missed on the whole goldcard thing is that you dont have to use ADB or your bricked phone to find out the CID, put it into a card reader and use your PC. So onto making yourself a goldcard.
The process of creating one is rather hit and miss, but I eventually got one to work. Make sure you use an MicroSD card that is 2GB or smaller as any larger than this and it's a SDHC card and wont work. I used a old 1GB Sandisk card my girlfriend had spare. Have a look on the forums for a goldcard.exe file to run on windows to simplify the process, I found this worked when the forum described method did not. Keep trying with this as it took me many attempts to get a working goldcard.
From your post it sounds like you want to install the cool new Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0. Your problem is your phone will not take the European RUU 2.10.401.5 as your phone is from another region - 1.47.415.1 (india?) and got screwed up in the process. The bold part of the software version number relates to region. Mine was from Thailand and the european update worked when installed with my goldcard.
When you have your goldcard created you need to extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU (just run the exe and look in your PCs temp directory whilst the exe is open, it unpacks itself there) and then rename this to PG88IMG.zip. Put this file onto your goldcard and then power on your Desire S whilst holding the Vol. down button.
If you still get errors like 130 or 140 your goldcard is not made correctly, so try again.
Once you have the new update working take yourself to htcdev.com and unlock the bootloader, then you can flash CWM recovery and root it as well.
Hope this helps

thanxxxxxxxxx all really i miss these solutions because i was very confuse
thanx again for all i will try it and give u my feedback

One tiny correction on this part, I use a 16GB SanDisk Class 6 GoldCard. Means its an SDHC and I haven't had any problems with it.
