Hey
I just got a Telus Desire HD yesterday and I managed to put Blackout ICS on it.
And then I tried putting my Fido sim card on it but it didn't work.
Can somebody point me in the right direction for getting the phone unlocked?
:laugh:
Thanks

If you're rooted using aahk, boot into boot loader and select sim unlock. Just fyi use the Desire HD section next time
Also, you're very late to the dhd scene, development is starting to dry up now, the device is nearly 2 years old and HTC aren't giving it any more updates or so they say

What if you're rooted but not using AAHK?

Easy way to tell if my inspire is sim unlocked? Obviously if I'm asking I don't have another carriers sim handy to test.

Is it rooted? Because if so the rooting process unlocks it, so if you are rooted, you are already unlocked. If not all you have to do is root.
OK, I was starting to think that, but none of the guides seem to explicit ly state that... No 'step' per se. At least not the guide I used back when the inspire 1st came out.

Both rooting methods that I know of (bubby's and attn1 hack kit) use gfree with the default setting: `gfree -f' which is: "--free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111\n"
Note that both kits' s-on options do not restore --sim-unlock so even if you've gone back to what you think is totally stock s-on, you're still sim unlocked.
My brother recently got an HTC one x and I wanted to unlock his bootloader, root it and install a custom Rom for him bit am a little insure of the proper steps. I have a one s and am very familiar with abd and using twrp. A one click would be great.

Well I got up today proud of myself for having made the decision to go ahead and root my AT&T HOX.
I have a 32 gig 10 inch Toshiba Thrive that is rooted running ICS. Then I discover there are several HOX models....and several firmwares.With sweaty palms I swiped one finger down and shaking almost too much to hit ABOUT scrolled on to the bitter truth of 2.20.502.7...
This phone cannot be rooted.
Now I must try to gather myself and use the technique I am lacking the most in.... Patience.
So Fredfly, I'm sure someone here can tell you better than I but as far as I can judge if your bro's firmware is like or higher than mine just take a number and have a seat.

I'm in the same boat Jonathan... just got mine this week and it's 2.2. Does anyone know if there is anyone working on rooting 2.2?

What version of the HOX do you have? The AT&T version? If the firmware is below 2.20, then you have a plethora of methods you can use if you simply look in the dev section. If you're so inclined, you can use the guide that I wrote for the Telus version in my signature. The attached software should work for the AT&T as well as the Telus and Rogers versions as well.
If you got your one X from Rogers then you're fine. First go to htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery (evita version) . Then put the zip file for a custom rom into the sdcard, boot into TWRP recovery, and install it. Then do a factory reset from TWRP and reboot. As a first rom to try, I recommend CleanROM or VIPER XL.
Hey guys thanks for the advice. I looked at HTC dev and its exactly the same as the one s. I checked my brother's firmware this weekend and its 1.8... I will attempt to root and unlock this weekend. Also thanks for the Rom recommendations. I will probably put viper on his phone as I am familiar with the venom team and know they do great work.

Its not firmware 2.20 and above. Its only firmware 2.20 that is unrootable (at this time). Its all about AT&T. Every other carrier is allowing the bootloader to be unlocked via HTCDev.com.
There have been a few version numbers higher than 2.20 (2.23, 2.29, 2.33). AFAIK, they can all be bootloader unlocked.
Hey what's up guys this is my first time posting in thus forum.. I'm not new to HTC devices, not new to flashing ROMs and what not.. I have a cousin that recently got dooped on a crappy trade, and now she's using an Inspire 4g. I've searched you guys threads, its hard to tell what's what, but I have a phone that's having a random reboot about every 7 minutes or so. So of course I factory reset from boot loader, it is s-on with 2.00.0030 hboot. Its running android 2.3.5 with software 3.20.502.52 71ord.
Can anyone point me to the most recently updated RUU for this software, or point me to a recently updated root method? I see you guys have s-off.. That would be sick also lol.. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

That Is the latest att update. To root that device, there's only one tool: The advanced ace hack kit..find it here:
Ñhttp://tau.shadowchild.nl
K I had already downloaded that.. I've read a whole bunch on that hack and I don't want to be stranded with a bricked device that isn't mine. Just looking to root, unlock, install recovery and flash some aosp goodness.. I'm no stranger to fastboot
Or would you have any ideas for my random reboots? I'm noticing a pattern of it rebooting when it sleeps.. Maybe 2 minutes after its locked

Have You flashed the insecure boot imege from the site first? If You did, Check that in the hack kit folder You have the zergrush file in the tools>bin folder. If it Is not there, then disable the anti virus And re download the hack kit agAin
Thank for reply but I'm confused.. how am I able to flash something with bootloader locked and no root? I don't remember seeing that in the effin manual lol. I'll do some more research and give it another go. I read it's more successful with abuntu so ill try it when I boot it up

Then you are in the wrong place. This is a developers site, you are suppossed to do your homework and read and do some research. A tutorial will probably lead you to a messed bootloader and belive me, that is really painful to deal with.
That thread has all you need to know. Even has a noob guide (the same that in my signature) that will help you out. Try that out and once you know what rooting and downgrading involves, you are ready to go.

As long as you follow instructions in the Hack Kit site and in the effen manual, chances are almost inexistent, thou modifying software always involves risks.
You have you be aware of that. Several thousands of dhd and inspire users have used the kit successfully, so that is your proof that it works flawlessly as long as directions are followed.

Same answer. If you follow instructions you shouldn't have problems. The risk is always latent, you are modifying software, but there are lots of success cases that backup the process.
Its very simple. I did this 4 days ago. Currently on 4.2 AOKP. All you need to do. Unlock your bootloader. Thats easy. Htcdev.com. create an account and follow the directions. This'll unlock bootloader. Then Download that boot.zip. extract the boot.IMG and put it in the fastboot folder. On computer, cd to fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img. relock the boot loader. Then run the hack kit. Questions?

Am I missing out on having my devices boot loader unlocked ? When I first tot the inspire 4g I had some difficulties knowing where to start but than I figured out how to root the thing with AAHK. I'm now using a cm10 ROM and honestly I'm curious about this boot loader option. I would assume that by using aahk that I couldn't use htcdev to unlock the bootloader because I might risk brick or some god awful thing...
Ultimately all I wanted to do was be able to use custom roms and vice versa but now that I keep hearing about this bootloader option it makes me curious as to what unlocking it well do for my inspire

S-Off with AAHK is a much better option than S-On boot loader unlock with HTCDEV. With S-On you can only flash ROMs meant for the DHD, meaning no ported ROMs. Also, you need to fast boot flash a boot.IMG separately each time you flash a ROM. Also, you let HTC know and so you lose any warranty you may have. And radios can't be flashed. Look in the Ace Think Tank guide for more information.
You just answered all my questions man, I appreciate it...ill stick to what I know...its a different experience coming from a LG optimus one....
