1. I am a Canada WindMobile XT720 owner, from my knowledge if u have an account with them for 3months they gives out free unlock codes.
2. Root won't/can't give u 2.2, be sure root and firmware is apple and orange. Root is a permission level, such as Administrater/Guest on Windows (linux call highest permission level ROOT).
3. Android 2.2 is not coming to non-Korean XT720, however, some individuals are working on getting a modified, custom ...etc android 2.2 to work on XT720. Install/Upgrade/Modify firmware won't unlock the phone.
4. I tried the follow unlock code sellers on the internet, some honestly refunded my money, and some gave me BS unlock codes, these are the ones u should not try:
MobileInCanada(honestly refund)
WickedUnlock (gave me non-working code)
becareful these guys have multiple mirrored websites,so if u see similar only color changed website, it belongs to the same group.
I have yet to unlock my XT720... gonna wait 3 months

Have you tried flashing stock ROM, I think it's the only way you may use your mobile in your country, it's nothing to do with android version! and also does matter to superuser mode as well.
you need the following:
1. stock ROM for your country (google XT720 stock ROM)
2. RSD Lite (newest version is 4.9 I thing, google)
flash it and all done!

i purchased mine unlocked from Singapore, and then loaded the UK ROM
then I got root using this method

I am new to this Root & Flash except reading in Blogs.
If i fallow this steps 1 & 2 is my mobile will my mobile get Unlock, so that i can use any network.
If possible can you explain me clearly step by step how to install all this applications in my Mobile.
Thanks to All In Advance

the rooting is not to unlock the phone
it only unlocks the admin account, so that you can do system level stuff, with programs like AdFree and Titanium Backup
for SIM unlock you need a special number that the carrier could provide you
or if you go to those unlock sites (which usually are fakes)

You are giving not enough information for us to help. Which step did you stuck?
Did you download RSD lite v4.9 or higher?
Did you download correct stock ROM for your region?
Or at least what region are you in (or what carrier are you going to use)???
What do you mean by lock or unlock???
Did you see any wording "lock" on your mobile? Or it just not showing your carrier?? Or you can post a photo showing your phone detail in >setting>about your phone!
Did you do any setting to try to manually seach your carrier or have your tried factory reset??
Too many questions!!!
It's not just a word that we can help you out!

I am in India, when i insert India Service provider Sim Card in my mobile , its saying phone is locked, as per my understanding i need unlock the phone with unlock code to make a incoming and out going call. I brought this mobile from Canada 3 months back from " Wind Mobile "
When i contact Wind Mobile they are saying i need to be active with their service for 90 days then they will provide unlock code .Being in India i cannot activate their Sim card even though it will be more expensive for me due to rooming charges.
Even i tried to get unlock code through some web sites but they are not working.
My question is that if i install 2.2 or 2.3 version in my mobile, is that going to unlock my mobile ?
Is their any other process to unlock my mobile like Flashing/ rooting or any other solutions.
Please try to help me

No, at least not at the moment
changing the OS, doesn't unlock your phone
there is currently no software unlock for the XT720 as far as i can tell

seeking help........
I called today to Wind Mobiles that i am ready to pay amount for Unlock Code, still they are saying that i need to be 3 months active with their services.
Can any one help me to to solve this issue
Thanks In Advance

I am in the same situation with an XT720 from Cincinnati Bell. Except CinBell policy is not to supply unlock codes for any reason. Is there likely to ever be a way to unlock the XT720? Thanks!

[Q] rooting huawei u8652 2.3.6 ?

Hi all!
New to phone hacking but not to computers. So I know enough to be dangerous. I want to root this phone and eventually want to do a custom ROM for it. My question is anyone succeeded in rooting this phone with 2.3.6? Here is what I have tried so far and have had no luck. I have spent three days on this before asking this question. So due diligence has been done.
I have installed the drivers / abt bundle enabled platform tools / pda net+ / fastboot
Unlock root = Does not get shell permission
Superone Click Tried many versions = many failed attempts and yes I entered the codes and enabled the log events and set to verbose.
Unlock root.com paid thirty dollars to get the same stuff that I tried. = scam
gingerbread exploit = does not support 2.3.6
universal androot = does not support 2.3.6
Emailed Huawei tech support for bootloader unlock code =
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry about we haven’t released the Bootloader unlock code for U8652 now.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.
Huawei Device Customer Care Team.
It seems to me that with 2.3.6 on this phone I can't get to it. This may not be the case but have read that some people have downgraded to 2.1 and have got it to work. One thing I feel I'm pretty sure about that the bootloader has to be unlocked to do anything with this phone. I've tried fastboot and try and run it from windows it opens and it closes instantly. I try to run it from a command prompt and comes back with path not found.
Any ideas? Thanks BK

I have spent many days and night searching for how to root.
I got the Huawei Y210-151 and I have figured out how to root this scraps Telus phone.
First you have to download Y210 Recovery Installer.exe and Y210 root from google search. copy Y210 to SD card
Then you start theY210 Recovery Installer program then it you power up hold power+UP up to 10 seconds.
click on Y210 button you wait it will said ok ok ok.
Then you turn off the phone and back on again it will boot into recovery mode
then you select signature verification to disable
then you install zip file from sdcard, select Y210 root.zip
reboot the phone then download Root checker from google play.
Good Luck!
Now I am looking for for steps how to extract UN_Lock code.
to unlock SIM network.

I rooted my u8652 with cyanogenmod 7.2, it's running v2.3.7 right now, best it can get. I don't think anyone's doing any further development on this old phone. Hate to point you off xda, but this is the only place I found info on doing it:
http://androidforums.com/fusion-2-a...nstall-cyanogenmod-7-2-huawei-fusion-2-a.html
Even after rooting and getting rid of bloatware, the phone is still old dog slow, and even stuffed with a 16g SD card and shoving apps galore onto it, it's still crippled by the low internal ram, so you won't be able to install many apps on it.

Hi can i use this method for all android devices?

Hi, I tried to unlock my HTC One S on 4 differents paid websites, but all say "unfortunately your unlock code cannot be calcuted, please double check your IMEI blabla" ). Since yestarday I kept trying these methods with NO SUCCESS.
Terminal emulator and ADB Shell say String not Fount / No IMEI
I try the method with ES file explorer. The bad news is The file "mmcblk0p6" is crypted when i opened as text. but when i open with notepad++ on my laptop THE IMEI in the file "mmcblk0p6" is completely different when I type *#06#
I calculate the NCK code with both IMEI, phone says "incorrect password" I pay for the IMEI i find in the file, the server send me the same NCK with the app in method 2.
All necessary information about IMEI, model, carrier are in the attachment
Please anyone have an idea?

Thanks for your great and very useful work !
I'm actually on Orange FR carrier.
When I insert a sim from another carrier the phone asked me & I wrote the combination.
It said it was now unlocked and when I press "Reboot" the phone freeze instead of rebooting
Any idea ? The CID perhaps ?
Device : hTC One S
About : Facepalm S-OFF -- Hboot 2.16 -- CID HTC__203 -- Radio 1.20
Rom : MaximusHD -- SENSE 5.0 ANDROID 4.2.2
Kernel : ElementalX v6.1
Thx in advance

I think I have a similar problem.
I have an HTC One S (I think S4 - 1.5Ghz). It is locked to ORange. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and finally managed to get busybox etc installed.
Method 1 and 2 provide the same code-
IMEI: 2547014 (last 7 digits)
Un lock code: 062975078
(sim unlock 61522531)
Method 3 didn't work as I got stuck after loading grep etc via busybox.
When I entered the unlock code I calculated the phone said unlock successful and that a reboot was necessary, but when it rebooted it asked for the unlock code again! I tried a different recovery (was using clockwork, went to twrp but still asked for the code on reboot.
I am scared to re-enter the code as I know I have limited tries - so far I have only entered it the once. I have factory resetted the phone - should I try and enter the code again?
I have now lost the boot screen after the factory reset so I don't think I can check the hboot.
As far as I am aware I did not install a new ROM at any point.

Thankyou thankyou and thankyou :->
We cannot thank you enough for sharing this brief 'tutuorial'. It worked like a charm once we had rooted the phone (which was the tricky part).
In case of it being helpful to anyone else, our device was prepared using:-
- CWM Ville with Touch Recovery ROM image.
- Chainfire SuperSU.
- BusyBox (must use Team Trickster's 'on Rails' initially so as to install from ZIP/SD storage,) followed by an immediate upgrade using the stericson version).
After installing that little lot, the acquisition of the sim unlock code was was a breeze. Thank you again.

Tested on HTC One S (S4)
Locked to Spanish vodafone
Worked like a charm
Had a little trouble installing busybox so installed viper S rom 2 and things went straight
Thank you very much

Cincinatti Bell Wireless
SIM unlock worked great after my crashcourse on rooting, recovery, and the bootloader all last night. But even customer support with HTC and T Mobile told me since it's from Cincinatti Bell Wireless, T Mobiles internet service WILL NOT WORK. :crying:
There's gotta be a work-around. Any way to move a Cincinatti Bell Wireless exclusive phone to T Mobile? There ought to be considering their wireless service is ending in a month. That carrier wasn't even in my area.

Tried all methods, outputting wrong IMEI
Hi guys, I've tried all the methods and I'm ending up at the same unlock code which doesn't work. I noticed the stated IMEI in the bash script is different to my actual IMEI, and so I guess the Un_Lock Code is wrong as well. I've checked the mmcblk0 files using a hex editor and the correct IMEI is in there. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am unlocked, S-off, SuperCID, clockwork Mod recovery, busybox installed, running the Stock ROM from factory reset.
Thanks

hi,
so i can't get unlock code with this command
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 [enter]
but it work well with this one
1. Note IMEI *#06#
2. adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcp6.dump
3. Open mmcp6.dump on SDCARD
4. Look for in this file your IMEI
5. Just in front of your IMEI a 8-digit code which corresponds to the unlock code
may help some one
with regards

It is different for every device if you have had service on your phone for 6 months you can call them to have them unlock it or go to At&t's web site and request an unlock code I did the web site way got my unlock code in 2 days with instructions using a NON At&t SIM card by e-mail
And no it doesn't cost anything its Free

System has been destroy + Usb debugging OFF + Bootloader Locked

Hi community
First Thanks to the people who take time to help, and admin that create that forum. Im always glad to see that s there is still people caring about helping each other
I come to you cause I spent the last 2 days trying to fix my brand new phone.
Brand : Xiaomi
Model : Mi ultra
My Computer : MacBook Air
Problem : "The system has been destroy"
Other problem :
- USB debugging OFF (not able to access to the phone in any way)
- Bootloader Locked
How its happen :
After installing an EU Rom, I re locked the boot loader using Adb... And it crashed.
I tried almost everything you find on internet using a Mac and till now nothing worked.
I tried to unlock the boot loader using ADB, which one the only thing who seems to be working and I got an error message saying that the Miunlocktools was too old ... ?
The token was available, as I already unlock it.
Does anyone know how I can switch ON the debugging mode without accessing my phone, or Unlock the boot loader using my Mac.
It seems there is solution possible but using windows computer, and tbh I will not buy a computer just for that.. for the moment
Thanks in advance to everyone
PS : I will offer 50USD straight in BTC to the one who will provide me the solution that will help me to fix it

Locking / unlocking a phone's bootloader is done by means of Fastboot, not ADB.
ADB & Fastboot are 2 completely different things. Don't confuse them.
AFAIK you can't enable ADB ( USB debugging ) from outside, this can only get enabled from inside ( Android Settings -> Developer options ) unless one creates/provides a flashable, properly signed ZIP that contains the code ( read: update-binary script ) to rewrite device's build.prop file entries accordingly.
BTW: A locked bootloader always tries to run device's Stock ROM.

Thanks for your quick answer. In other word, is it possible ? I am looking for what you say.
If I rewrite it, will I be able to switch it ON then ?
Im not at all a professional , that's my first step in this "world". It seems difficult, I will need to read a lot I think
What do you think about the EDL cable also, do you think it can work ?

IDK.
Never have bricked a phone. And I never owned a Xiaomi device.

locking a bootloader (at least in xiaomi phones )results in the phone being reformatted and the stock rom is installed
also try installing the newest version of miunlock https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
you might have to wait 7 days or less or more or might not have to
