i have an htc status from AT&T and unlocked with lebanese sim card can i unlock the bootloader ??? can i treat it like an htc chacha ?? or they are different ?? can i use the chacha developement on my status ??
*sigh*... a little bit of Google search would've given you the answer.. they are basically the same phone, branded under a different name... there are a few hardware differences, but that's only because of different network regions..
i know the differences :/ all i want it to know is that can i flash chacha roms on status ? cdma evo 3d roms dont work on gsm evo 3d see why i asked ? thx in advance

i just bought a htc inspire off ebay to send to a family member in india. Im currently in the process of rooting the phone. What i wanted to know is, after rooting it (s-off and all), do i have to flash a certain radio for it to work in india? or is it that once its s-off, u jes pop in any sim, n the phone works?
i dont think you need a special radio for it. ive used winmo phones in india while travelling without issues and i used the radios i was using here.
I have an HTC Sensation on Orange, but bought via dialaphone. I wonder if it is classified as branded or unbranded.
Is there any way to tell from serial nu,ber or software version?
It used to be possible with the first Desire.
Thanks

I got the XE through dial a phone on orange, it is unbranded, check for logos on the case or on the phones software (IE in the menu or anything)
I doubt yours is branded.
Hi, I'd be interested in this too. I bought mine instore at a high street T Mobile shop. There seems to be no form of branding at all. I've just got this after coming from a Desire HD (loved it, just fancied a change) and am used to doing updates via the RUU rather than waiting for operator OTA stuff. Just need to ensure that when available, I D/L the right one. Mine is an XE version and as it's still all shiny & new, I don't want to go down the rooting road just yet!
Cheers for any help. (Oh aye, is it just me or does the screen seem narrower than my Desire HD screen despite every tech' doc' telling me it isn't)?

I bought mine too from Dial a Phone.
I know that it's factory unlocked because I popped a T-Mobile SIM in it and it worked fine.
Not sure about branding though, my guess is that it's unbranded.

check your cid, steps are explained in the development sub-forum
Branded = Carrier Logos on the device itself, Carrier Apps, Carrier ROM
Unbranded = No Logos, Stock ROM, Stock Apps
Try putting a different providers sim card in, if it works its unbranded, if not, branded
Generally orange phones are unbranded in unlocked.

Hi, so I bought an HTC Desire S and it's locked to Orange UK. I S-OFFed and tried sieempi's method but it's still network locked. Is there any generator or tweak like the HTC Desire/Sensation to get the code? It's urgent as this is my new personal smartphone.
Thanks in advance

Urgent? No it's not. On Christmas day nothing is really urgent.
You can either ask your current network provider for the unlock code (may have to pay them) or get hold of an XTC-Clip (Buy, rent, shop ...) and definitely have to pay.
There is no software method for network unlock on the Desire S.
There's a xtc-clip page on xda with members that have access to them
This Christmas I've decided to put a mistletoe in my back pocket....so all the people I dont like can kiss my ass.

But there must be a unlock code somewhere in those mmcblk blocks, like on the One S, Desire (bravo) and the Sensation, why wouldn't there by any on the Desire S? HTC must have hidden it somewhere... Any guess?
Here's a guess: this phone is out for almost a couple of years now, and if the way to unlock it was so simple that a noob could guess it - I guess it would have been unlockable by now.
You can, of course, read and learn how SIM unlock is done on the other "sister" phones (G2/DZ/DHD/MT4G), and what's preventing DS from having the same treatment, and what's needed to make it work. But something tells me that you won't do that.
Hi guys,
My dad just bought a HTC One SV phone from Vodafone Spain and he's planning to go back home with it, but he's (me as well) uncertain whether the phone is sim locked or not.
Is there any code that will say whether the phone is locked or not? For instance, I have Sony Xperia S and when I dial *#*#7378423#*#* and it tells me if the phone's locked.
Is there something similar for HTC? Putting a different SIM card in the phone is out of the question. I'm just interested in the code that might give him the information.
Thank you in advance!
Hi.
Since the SV can now be S-OFF, I guess it could be done... Maybe have a look at the One S forums to find a similar method. It worked the same way for all the "One something" phones to change the CID, for example.
