Right i been searching around trying to unlock my friends Desire S this method Worked perfectly.
1) You need root
2) You need Terminal Emulator (free from the market)
Open the Terminal Emulator app and type:
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 [enter]
you will then get loads of codes and other stuff.
Look for your IMEI number and the unlock code will be above. If u get just a date then sorry you cant get the unlock code Write the unlock code down and put a sim that normally wouldnt work into your phone and power it on. then enter your unlock code u just wrote down
look at the piccy below the unlock code is marked with the arrow.

This will only work with Sim LOCKED devices. as mine is already sim unlocked by htc i cant unlock mine and i get a weird code. but my friends unlocked fine with his code I take NO responsibility if u break or damage your device. this is for educational purpose only
the code may not exist in a factory-unlocked phone (only a carrier-locked one).
i need people to confirm this working for them
I also got the same key. 00000108 as in your screenshot. I've not tried yet. As I'm in the office and I don't have any other sim card with me now.
Is there a way , a shortcut key or somewhere in settings where I can put the key. ?

colleagues whom I can ask for their sim have iphone, and their sim doesn't fit in desire s.
there should be a secret code to enter the key.
I've just tried it, but after entering the strings command the reply is "strings not found" are you sure that the command is written correct (with all the spaces correct). Or maybe I am doing something else wrong? I have root and s-off...

I've just tried it and the command works fine for me. i got the similar result as shown in the screenshot. Hope this helps.
This is what I entered in the console.
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 [enter]
I get the same code.... 00000108 and i don't think all sim locked Desire s have the same code.
I tried according to the instruction and It didn't worked.
Has this worked for anyone? Did this ever work for anyone from the HTC v forum where it originally came?

I'll take another look I know that the only code I used to unlock a phone so I know thas the command but I think I might have done the wrong block location. I'll update it 2morrow guys been really really busy

I can't be the only one who likes Halo and can't wait for Reach to come out.
Here's a couple of splash screens I created with that in mind.
They are similar, but the second has one of my favorite quotes from Halo 3 and any one who has read the books knows what it means.
Let me know what you think. (Be gentle though, these are my first ones)

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The reason I used that quote was because of the references in the halo: the fall of reach (the book). But if anyone wants a specific quote let me know and I'd be happy to include it.

Hi, was hoping you could help me with this. I followed instructions on how to flash this and the actual sending of it worked but when it tried to write it, it said FAILED (remote: not allowed). Any ideas on what that would mean? Thanks!
You need to have ADB enabled. Put the evosplash1.rgb into your sdk/tools folder. Plug your USB into phone, then boot your phone into the bootloader. Click on fastboot. Underneath the date it should say FASTBOOT USB. Then open a command prompt and CD to your sdk/tools (or whatever you named it) once there type this:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
fastboot reboot

First, thank you for replying to my post! You are the first one to state the "adb remount" part. I did that but it is saying device not found now. My phone does show the red fastboot usb so do you any further suggestions because it still failed on the writing part. The sending part went fine but I guess it is failing since it cannot find my phone. Might I have the sdk set up incorrectly?
One more thing...when I type adb devices...nothing shows up but when I type fastboot devices....my phone does show up.

when you're in fastboot it shouldn't show up in adb devices. I also forgot to mention to put the rgb565 file into your sdk/tools folder. Other than that it sounds like your setup properly.
Edit: Also the adb remount code isn't needed. I was so used to using it from messing around with bootscreens, I forgot it isn't needed for fastboot.
Yes, it seems I am setup correctly from what I have read. Maybe I should flash to a different rom and see if that helps me. My wireless tether app is giving me problems as well so not sure what has happened but it may be time to give something else a go. Unless you can think of anything new that is, lol. Thanks a bunch though for you help...really appreciate it.
Well, for those that actually care I have now resolved this issue. It turns out that the HBOOT version that I had did not allow me to perform this flash. I had to actually downgrade it to a different one and it worked perfectly. I wish to thank those that actually took the time to reply to my post...it was greatly appreciated!!
Realize I posted the screen of the new quote, but didn't attach the file... duh

then first restore the phone to normal working condition ..to do that ..do the troubleshoot point #4 from my soff guide ..link in my signature
then go to bootloader

I don't know why the data partition is unlocked.. It's not even letting you to modify any file inside it
Also the htc-dev Unlock you tried earlier seem weird..
You have connected the phone from bootloader (phone should read fastboot usb) right? When executing the fastboot flash command
Is your phone connected to a usb hub?
If so connect it to direct usb 2.0 port and if pc connect it to back usb ports and try the unlock command again

since s-off has the power to change anything, is there anyway to make the boatloader report locked instead relocked?
i know this is not necessary for doing anything at all since it is already s-off, but i'm just wondering what keeping this locking flag/status...
found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970252
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168578
i have dumped the mmcblk0p3, and found the same "HTCU" (unlocked) or "HTCL" (relocked) string at 8404 address. so i went to modify it to x00 x00 x00 x00 and viola, it become "LOCKED" now.
here is the command that i used:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p3
copy mmcblk0p3 mmcblk0p3mod
hexalter mmcblk0p3mod 0x8404=0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00
adb push mmcblk0p3mod /sdcard/mmcblk0p3mod
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3mod of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
exit
exit
so in summary, we can quickly jump from lock to unlocked, or unlocked to relocked/locked without using the token...

Do you think we use hexalter to remove "Disclaimer on HTC Splash Screen" ?
Not sure about that, I have not see the flag to control that yet... I think you can change that, but finding the right location for that flag might be difficult...
For this lock/relock/unlock flag, people is able to find it by comparing the rom during before and after, validate the result using other phone, and confirm the finding with other users...
If you don't have other phone to use as experiment and other people to confirm your finding, I afraid it is going to be very hard, you are just like walking in the dark...

Hi, I am currently using unlocked Sprint Note 5 on another carrier. I have messed up some settings and need the carrier partition from a Sprint Activated Note 5. This can be pulled of easily from a rooted Note 5 and doesn't contains any personal information.
-- On a rooted Note 5 N920P, run adb shell as ROOT (su)
---use following command to pull Carrier partition to sdcard
--- dd if=/dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/carrier of=/sdcard/sprint_note5_Carrier.img
Zip and share on any file hosting website.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Bump.... anyone..pls help...

adb shell says no such file or directory. I cant remember if that filepath is correct, I'll look around.
Edit:
The path looks like it is correct.
---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------
full command:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/sda18 of=/sdcard/sprint_note5_Carrier.img
It looks like the byname doesn't work so I used the above command instead, addressing the cache partition directly.
I'll send it to you privately via PM when it gets done uploading.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Thanks a lot @tdunham.
Some how after marshmallow byname is not working. Addressing the partition directly works, however the carrier partition is on sda18. sda17 is Cache.

Crap, sorry about that, resending.
FYI, su must precede the command for pull otherwise I get access denied or something.

Thanks. Got the correct file. Will update thread once I put it in my Note 5.
Just out of curiosity, what is your issue?
I ask for a specific purpose.
I know we and the Galaxy S6 are experiencing soft bricks on MM.
The symptom is phone just keeps rebooting over and over. A full wipe and odin flash of stock does not resolve this and the only workaround so far has been to allow the phone battery to fully die. I was thinking a specific partion is being problematic and a simple solution hasn't presented itself yet.
@tdunham
My issue is not related to MM bug. Actually if you flash the MM odin it flashes a dafault carrier partition also and it takes away all the carrier customizatins and hot spot / roaming settings are absent. You can get those back if you do a pofile update with sprint, which is not possible for non sprint users.

Would you be able and willing to shoot me a copy of that partition as well. My wife's note 5 recently messed up and is missing all carrier info and the dial code to pull it OTA isn't responding. Its causing that repeated activation error and not registering on any network and its unlocked too.

Since i cant post links you will find it under my github, just use github[dot]com/wuseman/WBRUTER - 100% Guarantee that pin will be cracked, let me know if there is any issues, thx
Source code can be found here: github[dot]com/wuseman/WBRUTER
Please let me know if there is any issues.
Howto:
Clone WBRUTER from my repo, github[dot]com/wuseman/WBRUTER
cd WBRUTER; chmod +x wbruter

This is my first thread at xda-developers.com so be nice!, the tool includes brute force via login screen too but there is already some tools for this, but this is kinda useless on latest android versions since phone will accept 4 tries only and then it will be locked.
I hope you will get some use of my new tool, enjoy.

Adb works even if the screen is off, not all devices is rooted just because usb debugging has been enable.
Also since this is no root I'm assuming this is one thru adb

Correct.
It's a good rescue for phones that have no twrp hence root sadly its useful news is a formality of luck on one's preference of phone security if one doesn't have the process installed is it possible for one to activate usb debugging thru a command prompt and then push the apk to the system or system priv and activate the apk to start the brute force process..... If such is not permitted it would be good to implement in a future version of your project

Hello.
Just clone the repository and run the command but you must have been authorized to this phone over adb before and things have been changed, as default nowadays adb will release keys after 7 days. Wich Android version is installed on your locked device?
