Hello Folks,
Let me say sorry if this is in the wrong place.
The story is--My wife found a brand new HTC HD2 in the Airport while travelling home,It is in French and locked to Orange,I want to try and open the thing so it can be used on any network and also in English.I have had no experience with this type of kit so i thought id ask here.I have done the factory hard reset but that didnt do anything really,I was thinking of flashing the ROM but i dont know where to get the ROM or how to flash it,I tried the HTC site but it wont let me download anything :-(
Can anybody help?
Thanks
hspl will allow you to flash any rom you like, any language, get the roms from the rom development section, 'Leo Official Roms' thread.
no, flashing a rom will not allow you to use any network. Only way to unlock is either get a code from orange (not likely!) or buy one from online.
(found at the airport, eh? it was 'just lying there in some guys coat pocket' eh?? hehe)
****!!! **** !!! It's my device ! ! ! ****! !!!
LOL (bad) joke, i'm tired ^^
To change ROM: Like sam' says, u need HSPL your phone use ROM Dev' Section...
For Unlock, hum Orange ...^^ You need the code from orange to unlock^^
I don't know if you can use one from http://www.htcsimunlock.com/ ...
Or send me the device, i have many firends who works for this provider
Is there still no hope for my bricked tablet?
If everyone is using condi's tool to get access to the ICS update, then there will be no zip file for me to flash so my tablet can't be fixed?
I'm running a UK device and am in the UK.
Condi's tool doesn't make impossible for an UK user to save the newly received UK's update somewhere before modding it and give you an access to that somewhere...
Just wait for the update, again and again (and again).
Condis tool worked fine for me and mine is a UK tablet and I am in UK. How did you brick it?

Try giving your tablet to service center they will rectify it....i had got mine updated to official usa ics firmware and losr 3g so I gave my tablet to service people they downgraded my tablet to 3.2hc and gave my tablet within 2days......
Ie if u cant wait for a fix or having a dead tablet beside you the above idea works good
It would cost me £70 to get it repaired.
I tried to add init.d support but set the incorrect permissions, I don't have ADB access.
I got so fed up with not having the tablet, that I went out and bought the Samsung Galaxy 7+. Alot better I must admit, but I still don't want a 349£ paperweight on the end of my bed.
If ICS is due out on the 31st for Europe, can someone get the Zip for me please in the UK?
My device has been bricked since early February now.
I want the same file. If I get it Ill upload it for you
Can anyone post this? A full Zip not the OTA file
Hi Guys,
I yesterday updated my LUMIA 800 to 7.8 via Nuviflash Latest Release and as the title suggests it is blocked again saying "This SIM Card can only perform on certain networks and bla bla bla...". Before that I did TP unlock my device and was told that It wont be blocked again. It is now blocked again, I restored the previous ROM as well but no luck. Any suggestions on that other than again going trough the entire TP Unlock.
Thanks.
Poor U, me too. It's because you're using a network locked phone not world version.
If you know your phone is belong what network provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, ...) you can buy a unlock code to unlock your phone in to world version and use it

I have the same problem with my lumia. I updated to 7.8 and the phone relocked. it was bought through the web and was regularly unlocked from SFR before but now they don't want to send me the code. Could you guide me to any solution please ? where can I buy a working unlock code ?
Thanks in advance.
oh god
Oh god i have the same problem!
I didn't even knew my phone was locked... I bought it from some guy, with DLOAD bootloader, and unlocked and the guy told me it was world wide version.
So because of the DLOAD i belived him.
Now after updating to 7.8 it locked !
Guys, what can i do, can i go to nokia service center and pay for unlocking for example ?!
I don't know from where is my phone actually, i bought it with HK software on it, so i presume it's somewhere in HK...
I'm open to any ideas, because i dont have another phone and i'm dead :crying:
Edit: I tryed to track it a bit with the IMEI, so it starts with 3516820 which leads me to Telia - Sweden ... And they want 75$ for the code, this is madness !

Hi,
The TP unlock is patch-unlock. So, if you will flash to stock ROM phone will be locked again...
Now you need to unlock again via TP unlock obviously!

Hi,
Boot-loader could be changed with ATF Box via TP. It can change boot-loader to DLOAD/QUALCOMM.
So, you probaly had an unlocked phone by ATF Box and after they changed boot-loader OSBL DLOAD
also, just to make you think its pre-unlocked. Better to buy 75$ codes - get it unlock by ATF Box with TP.

thank you!

Thanks for your answer!
Now i have another question- if i get my phone tp unlocked again. And microsoft release another official update and i update but trough Zune and not nokia care will it lock again?
Thank you!
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of flashing 7.8 on my DLOAD Lumia 800 and this kinda worried me.
My phone was locked to Vodafone Spain, but the previous owner got it sim-unlocked (in June 2012) before selling it to me. I don't know what method they used but I should be fine because the TP/ATF method you're talking about is relatively new, right ?
Otherwise, is there a way to tell which type of unlock I have before updating to 7.8 ?

Which is strange, because mine was bought in july so it couldn't be unlocked trough TP, maybe the guy bought a unlocking key.
But since i can't connect to the guy again i'll have to spend 25 Eu every time when microsoft releases an update for TP unlocking. I better sell my Lumia when i unlock it... :crying:

Hi,
Ask provider before buying codes, that if it will lock again if I flash
my phone. If they say - it will, then ask if I could use the same code
to re-activate my phone or not.
Hope this helps.

Good luck on getting your unlock back, mate. This sucks.

Can you tell me something about stock ROM ? I mean even if I update my device via zune (official update) it would lock again ?
Update
Hi,
If you update with Zune the mobile will not be lock. I did it las time with mine and didn't get lock. Also if you update using the file .xap neither will get lock the mobile.
Mobile get lock only when you update it by Flashing a room.
Anyway after you flash your mobile it can be unlocked with the unlock code you used last time if you still have it.

My imei stars with the same 7 digits and the ROM it uses right now is from H3G UK (it could not be the original one though)...so I wonder how did you find out yours is from Telia - Sweden

Hi all,
I recently purchased a new XT910K , the seller had listed it as XT910 so I didn't know that I was receiving the Korean version. Well the phone arrived, and turns out it's a really obscure variant since there is hardly any info. about it on the web. The OTA update doesn't work anymore, and I have no idea how I can update my phone. Can anyone having the same phone please help? Most of the links pertaining to the necessary files are dead. I tried searching for the solution everywhere but came up with nothing, so this is kinda like my last resort. Anyways thanks for reading, any suggestions or ideas are welcome!
Hey guys, how you all doing?
A few months back i messed up and hard bricked my phone (Moto X 2nd gen) doing an OTA update. The company wanted to charge me with 250 bucks, so i bought a new phone. (moto Z play)
The other day I got an email from AliExpress where they were selling a new motherboard for 20 bucks. So I got it to fix my "old" phone.
Everything worked perfectly, but when I started the phone, everything was in chinese, even the android version..
Being the chinese version, it doesn't have Gapps and it doesn't allow to use my native language (Spanish).
So my question is: Could I flash the Spanish stock rom or would it brick again? I just want to have a phone just in case mine breaks or something. I want to be able to get OTA updates and all, but with the Spanish version of the OS.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much for your time and for future responses.
Cheers!

Yes you can but your phone becoming a brick depends on whether you screw up while flashing the os.
If you can then pls invest your time in another motherboard since I have heard that Chinese motherboards aren't that good because some are fake etc..
Have a nice day!
