Here's the situation,
i've read all over the topics in this forum and in the development section, but i still haven't found what i wanted to know.
The device has Win 7.0.7 ecc so, no 7.5. I want to understand if there's a method for one of the two systems to be unlocked, i mean unlock the bootloader, to install new roms, different from the stock one.
If this option exists i'd actually appreciate it if you could link a guide or tell me.
For what concernes the debrand of the device, i boght it at TIM in my country, but i don't think it's branded. Anyway i think i will try to debrand it with the goldcard, just to be sure.
thanks for the attention!
Why don't you just update it? ... i've had the first version too (7004) and i've done it pretty easly by forcing

You don't need to CID unlock but you do need to install Hard-SPL. Then you can flash any ROM you like. Try reading the wiki and read the forums about flashing before you flash for the first time.
The sticky posts on the Forums often cover the basics.

I read the Wiki a couple of times, but i dont really understand it.
tmobile foon with tmobile rom with a tmobile sim, use SPL and get my ROMeO rom, update it.... that's all?
When do you have to use CID unlock then?

hooold it! before you make a big mistake.
* ALWAYS use hard spl!
* use any rom that you like
* update it...and that's all
you don't use CID lock unless you are 100% sure of what you're doing! when you're device is CID unlocked there is no way back!
(a pain in the *ss with warrenty issues)
Is there are way to know if your phone is already CID unlock or not?
Cuz i bought my phone with a custom rom in it already... so i know that it has been HardSPL already, but i don't know if they had unlock the security/CID or not...
Thanks for the help,
Radio:1.02.25.31

Pretty sure error 262 is vendor ID check which means your not Hard-SPL or CID unlocked i'd advise you take some time to read the stickys at the top of forum before going any further...
Hi.
I've been searching around the forum for the past few days to find an answer to the question i have had for a long time.. But the only thread i could find, with just about the same question, had no replies..
I don't want to be annoying and create threads, But since i haven't actually bought the phone yet i don't understand half of it haha.
Anyway.. My questions is>
You can set up internet on the phone by typing stuff like proxy/APN and it will work even overseas?
POP3 e-mail account can be set up and work overseas too?
Anyway! I read about the unlock.
I'm not sure what is post or pre april? And what phones are unlockable.
I will be buying it of a japanese auction site.. And i've looked at a few auctions, one of them says
Radio version : 1.14.00.10
Another says
Radio version : 1.16.00.00 (both of these are used phones)
Will i be able to unlock these? I would like to keep the language Japanese (because i need that to write e-mail to my girlfriend in Japan)
If so, how? just by the USB cable, and buy the unlock from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php? Or what ?
Please don't give me link to the unlock thread and tell me to read it.. i've read it and didn't understand most of it :/
Sorry to be such a noob haha.
Radio version : 1.14.00.10 is not possible to unlock, unless you pay for a special unlock tool that is not supported by this community

But the 1.16.00.00 is possible to unlock for free on this community !?
And still be in japanese, and able to use overseas?
Could anyone please tell me if i can unlock a used model with radio version 1.16.00.00 ?
If yes, how? is there a guide?
Can i do it for free on this community or shall i buy this first -> http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php
I will only need USB cable to unlock right ?
THANK YOU experts!
You only need to buy imei-check.co.uk thing if you want to unlock 1.14.00.10 version.
One with radio 1.16.00.00 should already be unlocked, check it out first...
just do some reading, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Hi
Oh really ? i see.
Well i read the whole thread before posting .. But i understand that it has to be a brand new never turned on phone before being able to unlock it.. Or it will be locked forever.
And i will buy it Used from Yahoo Japan.
So this will probably be locked or what ? since it has been turned on?
THANK YOU~~!
I spoke with a seller, he said he Unlocked the phone when going on business trip to China, and the radio is 1.16.00.00. He said that the unlock might not work because he did a hard reset.. Is that true?
Won't it be unlocked for ever?
Please can't anyone confirm this ?
Really need your help.
once unlocked, always unlocked
Thank you !!! Will i need the Software CD to do things like upgrade things? Because it doesn't come with my phone.. Can i download it some where? if you have link please tell me
And do i need to flash it to another radio or something to make it work on GSM network in europe?? (´・_・`)
PLEASE READ THE Hermes Wiki, READ sticky threads...
You will not need CD, no need to flash radio (could be dangerous)
dear all,
i have posted my question about how to unlock bootloader for asian retail users and i have got the firmware sbf here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172771 thanks to daywalker04. but still, i couldn't unlock my bootloader.
forgive me for asking similar question, but i really don't understand what to do. i got DHD before this and i have no problem in modifying it. however atrix is way different. the potential is high, but i couldn't do anything. so, anyone please give me a noob guide to unlock my phone's bootloader?
thanks in advance
Okay, here's a story from a WP7 n00b. Got the Mozart yesterday from O2 UK. Read on the forums about how good Mango is, so decided to upgrade to it. I assumed that upgrading would automatically debrand the phone. Obviously, being a n00b I was wrong. Now I have a Mango 7720 phone (firmware version 2250.21.14201.206) with O2 gibberish on it. I've read on forums that HTC has released the official Mango update, and it might take a few months before it gets to me via O2.
Finding myself at this stage, what I would like to do is to have a dev unlocked debranded Mango phone. My guess is that I will have to downgrade to NoDo, debrand it, dev unlock it and then upgrade it to Mango. Can someone be kind enough to let me know if my guess is right? Also, can you please point me in the direction of the tutorials on how to achieve all this?
i tried do same thing but i was failed. i tried to flash lots of roms that i used before mango but all off them gave same invalid vendor id error at %1.
then i restored the rom via zune back to nodo. invalid vendor id error is continuing.
i can't install any rom to my mozart even it's branded tmo_de rom.
the only thing that i see different in settings/info is hardware revision number. before 004-now NA.
how can i correct the vendor id?
please help!

1st I wanna say i came from an inspire so probably things are a bit different.
I bought a att atrix, now I will be using this in the dominican republic so i need unlock, in the inspire rooting would give you radio OFF and your device would be unlocked, after reading here unlocking BL and Rooting won't give you sim unlock and the best thing to do would be to buy an unlock code from ebay. Some one please confirm this.
Now the device comes with gingerbread, I don't need to flash an sbf right? I can go straight to unlock the bootloader?
Now to unlock the bootloader, ive seen several methods, the easiest ones seems to be the Script which has everything, but after readying the latest posts, almost everyone is getting issues? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 is this recommended or not?
ALso found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883&highlight=sim+unlock
Just wanted your input on how should i unlock the bootloader since getting the money for the phone wasn't easy and I don't want it lost by hard bricking.
Also any insight on further processes like installing CWN and Rooting would be helpful.
Thanks in advance, will thank people who help.
Anybody? Hello?
Call or chat to AT&T customer support for sim-unlocking your phone. Better to use online "Chat" since they'll ask your phone's IMEI # and you don't want to misspell it. Atrix is not exclusive to AT&T, so if you're kind and reasonable enough, they'll give the unlock code to you for free. Call again if you're denied at first, I'm sure you'll meet someone who wants to help you. I just got mine a few weeks back.
For BL unlocking and rooting, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 if you're new to this.
