RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

I was just wondering if there is a way I can unlock this device and any instructions how? Also if possible to maybe root this device?
Thanks in advice!

1. you, my friend, are a very lucky one. i dont know where you got your phone from, but it already is s-off. that means the booloader is already unlocked. with that hboot you can install a custom recovery and flash roms like crazy. but as you are new to this business, i would recommend to

Oh right, there are codes on eBay for £2, are these trusted codes?

There are internet sites that give out codes for $12 or so. Some of them are trusted.
Not sure about 2-pound eBay codes.

[Q] What if????

What if it says image update error after you attempt the zip recovery method and you are stuck on bootloader with only options to fastboot and go no where except option to go back to bootloader and the factory reset sends you to fastboot and the image crc is 0x0 on everything?

You can still make your phone normal. If you have working fastboot or bootloader your phone is not bricked.
You can reflash recovery, radio , and other firmware related stuff .
Sorry but can i get directions on what files are needed to reflash and how to do it. Since my phone is already in a bad state I dont want to risk bricking it.

Where is the radio information ?? Doesn't show ??
It does not show a radio info
Why 2 threads
Try flashing this firmware. This is ICS only firmware, but if it gets things working for you. And you want to go back to gingerbread, then you can worry about that later

There are quite a number of links to various RUU in the forum. By the way, you don't have to stick to an Indian RUU. I've tried others and they work just fine.

I did forget to mention you can't go wrong by making a Gold Card first. It may turn out to be a lifesaver.
You don't actually need the hassle of making a Gold Cardunless you just Google the ADB codes and imply them right!
Best way to apply them is copy-paste method directly from the net to the CMD.

I know! I don't have a Gold Card & I've never had to create, much less use one. The caveat is for the one-in-a-million guy who's luck may go south. I don't wanna be held accountable for a bricked device.
Hi,
I have the same device which turned out to be an indian device.
Please if you could help me finding the ruu

Is it good HBOOT?

Sorry for stupid questions, but it's my first HTC phone.
I have following info in bootloader:
Code:
locked
saga pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-2.00.0002
radio-3822.10.08.04_m
emmc-boot
aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Is it fully working S-OFF unlocked bootloader? I don't understand "locked S-OFF". What can I unlock more? Do you recommend me a downgrade? If yes, why?
What is it ENG bootloader? I've read that it's normal, stock HBOOT, but others describes it as unlocked, S-OFF HBOOT with more commands.
I want to use every ROM at xda without any restrictions.
Thanks for any help.

What you asking is similar with my recent question, you can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940982
AFAIK when you S-OFF you can flash any ROM for DS easily without need a pc or laptop to flash boot image in case you are S-ON because it will done when you flashing a ROM via recovery.

So I have tried to install the rom from the CWM it says it installs it but Im continuously stuck in the white screen lock. SO i was wondering if someone has some type of advice or help for me as I would gready appreciatev I miss using my inspire it is like part of my life hahahh
