If you see a date above imei number, this means sim unlock code not available. The "second method" refers to an alternative for Sensation users only, doesn't work on DS unfortunately.

I see only a date too . Is there any other way to do this? Vodafone is charging 50 euros for unlocking, which I find unacceptable.
Anyone find anything useful on this topic? Is there any way to replicate the method 2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107 on our device? Perhaps with a PG88DIAG.nbh file?

As Vodafone probably sold the phone (locked) for a very low price, I don't see that as unacceptable, maybe you can't afford it, but that doesn't mean Vodafone is doing anything "wrong".

The phone was, in fact, bought at a reasonably lower cost due to it being part of a deal for a new subscription, and I'm not saying that they shouldn't charge money for unlocking it, because it's well within their rights to do so. It seems to me, though, that this fee is much higher than what is regularly charged for this service (from what I read on these forums / asked other people).
Whatever the cost, though, being able to do it for free is better than having to pay for it . That's the reason why I asked about the method 2 from the Sensation forum. It seems to me that we would only need the .nbh file appropiate for our device (a PG88DIAG.nbh instead of PG58DIAG.nbh), but I don't know where anyone would obtain such a file, In any case, it's something worth researching. I only wish I were more experienced with this sort of hacking / exploiting, perhaps someone more capable than me can look into it.
There was a thread with some technical document about our DS here. The source was a Chech website for mobile phone diagnostic and repair. I think there was a Diag file among the other downloads. You can search for it
EDIT: I have typed PG88DIAG.nbh in Google and got pretty much hits

I wonder if it's the right file or if the people on the Sensation forum modified it somehow to suit their needs. I tried using one of the PG88DIAG.nbh files I found here on XDA, but after following the exact instructions from the Sensation thread, my phone got stuck on "Error writing CID" (or something). It could have been because of the HBOOT (I was using the 0.98.2000 ENG HBOOT) and I could try it again on revolutionary's S-OFF HBOOT, the thread mentioned it needs radio S-OFF, i'm not sure if it has that.
I found another solution to this, and a Desire S owner in the threaed claims that it worked for him (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681145).
However, in my case it didn't work, My guess is because of the way Vodafone locks their handsets, which seems to be different than the way HTC locks them. Oh well, back to the Internet for more solutions. I hope this one helps some of you.

Desire S doesn't have radio S-OFF.
The most convenient way to achieve full (radio) S-OFF and SIM unlock on Desire S would be to build a Froyo kernel that will run on it and allow executing ADB daemon. It doesn't need to boot Android, just to run. But it's something that a good kernel developer is required for.
Given such kernel, Desire S owners could use gfree.

Unfortunately I'm no where near Germany right now, and I doubt I'll find a helpful XTC Clip owner in Romania, so I decided I'll just give the money to Vodafone and get it over with. I want to gift this phone for Christmas to someone who's on Orange, so I'll just go ahead and pay up. Thanks for the offer though
Well for 50€ you could also buy an XTC clip and you could unlock nearly every HTC device then
They are sending it via FedEx express btw
I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the info

I too have a US T-Mobile Sensation with S-OFF. I'm not an expert or dev but also not a stranger to flashing recoveries, custom roms, etc.
I've had it for weeks now, just never thought to check for S-OFF! Oops

You lucky duck...
S-OFF is not in a good spot right now ,here are some reason why you might want to sell for a little more and get the S-ON :
1) You might brick your phone since it's new and don't know what you doing
2) not a whole lot to flash at this point
3) you busy flashing while we S-ON are having fun with Sense 3.0
How do you check for S-ON/OFF?

He said he's had it for weeks, which means it wasn't a retail device.
Why must he sell away his phone just cause its S-OFF?
Even without S-ON he can still enjoy Sense 3.0
He can just wait till there are mods that he wants to have on his phone, till then he can just enjoy his phone
Good thing for him is just that he doesnt have to go through the hassle of getting his phone from S-ON to S-OFF
Don't bother selling your phone

Are you high?

Enjoy having s-off. Root it and have fun with root apps.
If you want to join the flashing fun check out the CWM WIP thread (nandroid backup isn't working at the mo, but it is usable).
Its fairly easy to unbrick. if you extract a rom.zip from a RUU (I keep mine on a spare SD card for fastboot).

First of all the person that start this thread ,if he just do a little search I mean just little he would not waste his time to post thread like this. If he know how to check if his device is S-OFF then he'll know exactly what to do next.
Am I joking on my last post? . Why are alot these S-OFF devices are going to a wrong people. He should earn a S-ON
I have a s-off also well mine says s-off shipped. No root method I have had time to try has worked. If someone wants me to try something let me know.

That was a bit harsh. I shouldn't... I mustn't... Oh, darn.
+1 +1 +1
Seriously now, OP - as far as I know there's no way to change that until we have S-Off, unless there's no way to do it even if we have that - someone correct me if I'm wrong.
S-Off then.
HTC promised to give us that, though they didn't say when. I should note that Motorola made a similar promise regarding the Atrix, and the coming Gingerbread update for it should contain (according to tech news blogs) an unlockable bootloader.
Also, there's a group called TeamWin who have released the fre3vo tool (used to get a TempRoot for it, in a similar manner to what Visionary was for the Desire HD and Desire Z), and they're working on an unofficial way to obtain S-Off.
Until then, like others have said before me, we'll just have to sit tight and hold on.
Wow.... Just as i thought this forum was different you guys go and return it to a cod style, butt licking free for all. Just give the guy a straight civilised answer instead of slating!
Change Rom
I have s-off sensation and asia rom can change rom to europe?
i have the 1.17.0011 hboot
Ok since there isn't one thread dealing with these two phones I am starting one. Then at least people can find stuff or dicuss the said phone. I will add any useful links and how to's to this post and posts there after. Any way on to what we got....
How to root your Evo Design 4g or Hero S:
There is a few ways out there from manual to auto. If you are wanting temp root you will need to look at zergrush. Which the link I don't have right off. If you want perm-root you can use either of the following tools.
My One Click Perm-Root & Busybox Installer tool/script (Sorry no linux help at the moment. Windows only) Confirmed on many devices also:
http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2485
Frigid's HTC Super Tool v2 (I can't confirm it works, how ever looks like it does. Followed by some nice options):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
How to unlock your Evo Design 4g or Hero S:
This isn't really a guide as htc has a good one. How ever I am going to add to it. You need to go to the following link http://htcdev.com/ , Once there click the unlock bootloader. You will be asked for you login info, if you don't have a account you need to make one. As you are starting through the instructions you will see you need to install adb to continue. How ever you can down my script, cd the tools directory, which will have adb. Drivers are also in the thread for my perm-root tool. Then all you need to do is get the fastboot from the sdk 13 linked in htc's guide. Followed by put it into the tools directory of my script. That or do it the way htc has you do it. Either will be fine and get the job done.
Now this may not happen to you but did for me. Where after pulling the token the phone froze. I had to do a battery pull, reboot to h-boot and select fastboot again. Where I was able to continue pushing the unlock file.

I've been sending HTC an email every two days asking for source since getting the Design. I don't expect to see any movement before the end of the year, but it'd be helpful to get some more squeaky wheels out there.
Any tips or suggestions when writing such an email?
Sent from my *rooted* EVO Design using xda premium app
Even though I hate to say it but you aren't going to get anywhere e-mailing them. It takes a person 2 secs to copy and paste 1 of 3 generic e-mails. You are better off calling and asking about the kernel source. As even a short call will last 5 mins, which means more out of htc's pocket.
Was the only way the htc merge source got released
Is it safe to just ask for the design kernel or do we need to ask for the hero kernel also? Anything else we should ask while on the phone, or just keep it on 1 request?

Politely request access to the kernel source for the HTC Evo Design 4g per the terms of the General Public License version 2, under which the source in question has been published.
The official way to contact HTC is here: http://www.htc.com/us/about/contact-by-email
HTC is infamous for dragging their feet on source requests, but has shown that they can be pressured into doing so more quickly if folks make some noise. You can also try by phone, which may yield faster results.
EDIT: Asking for the Hero S source would be fine, too. Although I think both devices are covered by a single kernel config (Kingdom)
Would have to agree completely. How ever the hero s/design 4g should be the same kernel source. Though curious what is your guys kernel version?

According to that I am guessing that would be the design. Where everything is the same cept the letters after 10-. Where the hero is running a newer kernel by a month.
one click root v1.1 got me to root. bootloader still says locked and i haven't messed with a recovery yet. just letting yal know root is just one click away.
Since we still don't have an official thread for the hero S or the EVO design don't forget to vote whoever hasn't. Here is the link.

After weeks of emails to HTC, I have received their boilerplate "within 90-120 days" response along with an invitation for further comment. Now on to the next step...

I am very sorry to hear this, as I expected a different answer. Is HTC aware that it is violating GPLv2 with this policy, and leaving itself open to enforcement action by the Free Software Foundation?
Please refer to Section 4.1.2 of the compliance guide, which states that source must be made available at the time that a device is shipped with an offer of source. Below, I have provided a URL as well as cited the relevant portion for review.
It would be regrettable for me to have to refer this matter to the FSF for enforcement action. Hopefully further review will clarify where HTC is incorrect in its source distribution policy, and corrections can be made to avoid non-compliance issues.
Regards

Finally, it is unacceptable to use option (b) merely because you do not have Corresponding Source ready. We find that some companies chose this option because writing an offer is easy, but producing a source distribution as an afterthought to a hasty development process is difficult. The offer for source does not exist as a stop-gap solution for companies rushing to market with an out-of-compliance product. If you ship an offer for source with your product but cannot actually deliver immediately on that offer when your customers receive it, you should expect an enforcement action.
Hello guys ! Recently I ordered a brand new unlocked ONE X S720e phone and I think I have a big problem here.
Phone would not just turn on. If I set USB charger I am getting this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now if I try to do factory reset or try to go in recover I am getting RED message saying: This build is for developing purposes only, do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.
So what exactly I got myself into ? It sure looks some dev model to me, now question is what do I do to make it work normally ?
Here is video of this message.

That's definitely not brand new. What do you mean by 'unlocked'?. Is it carrier unlocked, or bootloader unlocked? Because what you have is a phone that was bootloader unlocked and then relocked. Not brand new. Used or tampered with in the process of being made. Most probably used. Unless the seller meant to say it was bootloader unlocked, you have a used phone, or at least one that has been tampered with. If your intention was for this phone to be CARRIER unlocked, ie. work all around the world on different cellular networks, you got what you didn't want, you got a BOOTLOADER unlock. If this is the case, I would recommend returning it or asking the seller to explain themselves. Before you take my advice though, wait for other replies for verification, but you should probably return it.
And also, this is the AT&T/Rogers HTC One X thread. You have an international HTC One X. Different part of the forum.
That's definitely a used phone. Someone bought it, unlocked the bootloader, decided they didn't want it for whatever reason, relocked the bootloader and shipped it back. Definitely send it back and get a new one. If you decide on keeping it, just run a RUU and you'll be fine, assuming there are no physical problems with it.
Also, that is the international One X, this forum is for the AT&T, Rogers, And Telstra One XL. Different phone.
Thank you very much, unfortunately I can't send it back and it looks absolutely new never opened or even used. That RUU, if possible can u provide link to app or post i need ?
Once again Thank you very much.
Why can't you send it back? Did you buy it from a legitimate seller?
Here's the thread for all the RUUs for the International One X. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
edit: nvm, this is the international model
Even if there isnt anything physically wrong with it, there still might be something you cant see like battery life that sucks or something.
Send it back immediately and show them/explain to them what happened.
HTC can't seriously expect to pull this kind of BS.
Is Endeavor is another name for One X ? And out of over 50 roms I see in that link what do I use ? I am sorry guys this is totally new for me I am Samsung user and rooter. If possible can you please provide name or link of a tool I guess will be similar to ODIN to reflash this HTC with rom stock or not I do not care. Because I just looked and that forum for over 40 pages and I am still clueless on what to do here. My main goal is to get this thing to work.
Thank you.
I do understand that this is for att and stuff but I am sure tools used for all different versions are the same and only roms and rooting files are different ,,,,
Yes, Endeavor is the codename for your phone, just like Evita is the codename for ours. The link in the OP of the thread I provided has a bunch of RUUs (ROM Update Utility) which are like self contained Odins. You run it on your PC and connect your phone and it brings you back to stock. As far as which one you need, I'm not really sure. I would post in that thread and ask. I'd imagine one of the UK ones would be fine, just make sure the radio version is the same as yours (1.1204.90.13).

Wrong, they are different the One X as you have is international has a quad core, the One XL is not and runs a dual core. Look for a RUU or stock Rom thread on the other forum. A RUU is similar to Odin.

I see so that RUU is all I'll need as long I have proper vesion of it ! In that case how do I find out what version I have to post it in proper forum ?
I mean I have a box here and well I see all information , where do I look exactly what RUU will be compatible with my phone ?
I see PArt number is : 99HRL061-00
and SCU is: 4710937375633
and yeah it's quad core 1.5Ghz
Just post in the thread that I linked you to. This forum is for a completely different phone than yours. Here is the right forum for you- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1533

Support:
Update regarding Windows versions of our tools:
Team Unlimited has decided to drop all support for the Windows OS. This is due to massive amounts of trolling on forums and in our support channel as well as flamming us for our decision to not support Windows 8 or any version of Windows 64bit.
We attempted to explain to anyone who had questions why this was not supported - drivers are unreliable, percentage of risk for bricking was too high, and just general complications - but we were greeted with people who demanded support and others that came into our support # to tell us that "clearly we didn't test 64bit because it works" and "wanted to let us know that we could support 64bit."
We want to make it clear that we make these tools with our free time, for free, for you - our users. We made a decision to provide clear and concise directions and a live support channel. We can revoke all or part of this at any time and will should people become abusive to our team members.
To receive realtime support for S-OFF please visit our IRC channel If you do not have an IRC client you can use this link.
If you need help we highly suggest coming to our IRC #, we do not monitor this thread as much as we keep an eye on our IRC #. If you run into an error you will need to come to # for quick response and help - quick response may save your device!
Using how-to guides, "kits" and using other instructions on XDA to S-OFF your device is not recommended and will not be supported by Team Unlimited. If you want the best experience and results - go direct to the source. Dealing with support issues through the forums is inefficient and posts may get lost in long support threads, of which we would have too many to actively monitor. We have therefore decided that all support should be through our IRC channel. This will allow us to help you in real-time and through the whole process.

Currently no, bear in mind that the Japan version of this phone was released before all other markets and we have not yet had time to examine any of the international variants.
Nice! Thank you, for helping me get s-off while in testing.

don't think it's a leak but stock ruu for tw and hk have a link in the forum, I believe, but it is labeled ics in ruu download, havn't tried to use it yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073430
edit i'm no dev and others now say it's fake
edit It's gotta be an old ruu i'm on hboot 1.40 and that one on the site(i'm guessing from the ruu) is 1.17, no luck
I think I've aquired the leaked ruu for asia wwe x920d, currently downloading will post in 46min if all goes well (got it on tw site, but they are having error with cid)(they think they need to super cid to use it) and it has a zip extention, but looks the right size and name
Here is the asia wwe ruu renamed as as zip (I believe) Hope this helps
pulled link bc of dropbox traffic pm me in 3 days if you need it guys/gals
edit here is that guys fix i checked the md5 sum, it matched, used zip 2 fix to fix corruption. He said he used the file successfully by renaming the .zip file to PL99IMG.zip and relocking his bootloader and copying to sd and rebooting here is the fixed .zip
pulled link bc of dropbox traffic pm me in 3 days if you need it guys/gals
(if you are not a member of the s-off unlimited io team please do not dl would like them to receive this)
also here are two update files for asia/tw x920d (both contain hboot.img files in firmware.zip in these zip files) :fingers-crossed:
first is older but run in sequence of updating
pulled link bc of dropbox traffic pm me in 3 days if you need it guys/gals
2nd is latest ota I think
pulled link bc of dropbox traffic pm me in 3 days if you need it guys/gals

fuses said that s-off like they did on the j version will probably work on our device(I linked him some ota files and the leaked ruu I found) but he said he was very busy with other stuff (we all have our regular lives to lead) and it will take him a while to get at it.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
