I am trying that two. I've tried both cid's without any success. I've noticed that you posted this in Feb, did you manage to find any solution?
Cheers!

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
ask the person you bought it from?? he will tell you.

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)
Hi everyone,
So I have a Telus HTC Hero but I saw some rooted phones with custom firmwares on YouTube and got really interested. I searched on Google and saw that there is a "GoldCard" method. I successfully created a GoldCard but the RUU just wouldn't work.
Is there another method to rooting the Telus HTC Hero? The GoldCard method is a real pain, and if it's the only method, can you at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Just to confirm,... A telus hero is GSM isn't it?.... NOT CDMA?
As long as it is GSM,... Follow BTDAG's guide in my signature. It is very detailed, you cant go wrong.
I'd suggest giving the whole thing a read through before you start, including the FAQ at the bottom, that way you wont panic should anything pop up that surprises you.
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
Hey everybody!
I've search a lot of threads but I can't find the information that I am looking for but I'm trying to unlock my bootloader through the HTCDev method, it all went great but I needed to update through a so called Rom Update Utility.
First of all, I'm not familiar with RUU's and my knowledge of rooting is only a simple Desire S. Second, I know my CID is HTC_Dutch (HTC__E11), and I can't find the RUU for that at HTCDev, I first tried HTC_EU because I didn't know my CID yet. I'm not sure what the do at this very moment.
The info I know:
PROTODUG PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.15.0002
RADIO-10.09.45D.25
Additional info:
Name: HTC Desire X dual sim
Software: 2.28.401.1
In the case anyone needs more information, please tell me what and if it's advanced to get that information please explain how to get my hands on it.
Thnx for reading, hope someone can help me out.

I've look into that thread before but it doesn't cover my RUU problem, I first need to unlock my bootloader as listed in that thread for that I need to upgrade. If been trying to upgrade it with RUU HTC_EU (RUU gave me version 2.35.0.0), but I came upon an error with something about the wrong device ID with the description that I needed an other RUU.
Solved!

Apparently I missed the sentence "choose the option: All other devices", I thought it would be covered under the Desire* option at HTCDev. My apologies and thanks for the help!
