Hello,
some of us who have bought a Hero locked to Orange can't seem to get it unlocked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555424).
For those have you who have managed to successfully unlock an Hero on Orange please can you advise on your experience- did you have to do something differently? And who you used to get the code? I have used Unlock Now (www.unlock-now.com) but the code they have supplied didn't work (they refunded me).
I have never had a problem unlocking a HTC phone until now and I find it hard to believe that Orange Heros can't be unlocked.
Please help if you can.

I am glad this thread has been of use to people.
I thought I would add and update to the first page so people don't have to wade through the whole thread.
If you are experiencing this issue you have two choices:
1)CID unlock your Hero (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559806).
2)Use a Rebel II Sim.
OK there are three choices.
3) Use your Hero on an Orange contract for about three months then ring up Orange and ask them for a unlock code. They will charge about £20 for it and you may have to wait up to two weeks for em to send it.
C'est tout.

[Update 24/10/09]
OK, after discussions and PM's on this thread I was advised to use the code I had previously bought with a different rom (when I first got my Hero tried it I was using the Orange stock rom then Modacos 2.3).
I just tested it now, took out my rebel sim put in the code and it works! I am currently using Modaco's 2.8.
Hope this helps.
I used http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/ and the code worked for me. I did get my Hero within a few days of release. My work collegue also did the same with no problems.
What network do you use your hero on now?
hi i bought one locked to orange uk and unlocked it here
http://www.simunlock-htchero.com/buy.html
i received the code in 2 minutes and it worked, i use now Optimus in Portugal
Got my second one (for the wife) off eBay a week or two back. Poster claimed it was days old. Unlocked through htcunlock fine. Three sim seems to work better with Orange radio than the tmobile hero I purchased earlier.
Zuber
RetroFlux: I'm now on o2 after my unlock.
i'm getting the same thing with my orange locked hero, I have even tried a foreign sim as suggested. But does not seem to unlock with the correct unlock code. Is there a cable method for unlocking?
I have the same problem.
First case:
Turn on the phone with orange SIM card - everything works fine.
Turn on the phone with any other SIM card (I actually tried 3 other SIM card from 3 different providers). It asks unlock code. Enter unlock code I bought (actually any code containing 8 digits) it says "Network unlock successful." But after that it allow only emergency calls and if I try to make a call I see "Not registered in network" message. After reboot it asks unlock code again.
Second case:
If I do "restore to factory defaults" and turn it on the first time with my (no orange) SIM card, it asks unlock code I enter correct unlock code (salesman gave me one, and after that I also bought the same code in the Internet )
it hangs with phrase "Unlocking SIM card...". (Actually "turn off menu" works, I even can make an emergency call, but that is all I can get from it)
Also I noticed that in the first case there is strange line on the bottom of the screen (of the size of the notification bar).
I have tried different ROMS (original, rooted, latest, modacos) all the same. I also tried to downgrade radio firmware. I even tried all SIM cards I can obtain, the problem is obviously doesn't caused by SIM/Network incompatibility. Btw, my SIM card works OK in another HTC Hero (which was bought with my one).
I think it is problem with unlock procedure itself, not with code correctness. If wrong code entered it must say something like "wrong code", but for any 8 digit code it says "Network unlock successful". Is is the symptom! )
I do not know what to do further
I got a (UK) Orange Hero about 3 weeks ago from dial-a-phone. Unlocked it without a problem about a week later from:
http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
Took about 20 mins and worked 1st time. Now running with an UK O2 sim. Sorry!
As I mentioned above, while first boot with my local SIM card it hangs with "Unlocking SIM card..." message. At this time I see the following processes running.

Im having the same issue, I got a new HTC Hero on Orange today, and it wont unlock. I used Unlock-now, so I have sent them a message asking for my money back, will that suffice. Has anyone been able to get there Orange UK, branded and locked phones unlocked.
nintendolinky, what is your ROM version ? There may be a possibility you have the latest firmware build... maybe...
i'm in the same boat! bought the code but no joy. it say's unlocked but could not register my voda sim. Anyone?
I tried to contact Orange today to buy an unlock code from them directly, after been passed about I eventually got through to someone bureaucratic wench who was completely unhelpful and I ended up telling them to F off and hung up. Kind of shot myself in the foot there.
I know this doesn't help our situation but I am still looking into it.

So are you saying there is an issue with the new firmware? When you say firmware do you mean ROM? As I have already flashed Modacos latest ROM and my Three/Vodafone/O2 sim still won't work.
I don't have my Hero with me at the moment but will post back my firmware number later, if other people (who are having the same issue) can post theirs maybe we can find a common firmware at fault.

Ok, here are my firmware details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-8dd6deee [email protected]
Build Number: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 MCR2.2c release keys
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
Someone out there must be able to help fix this, pros/cooks/anyone can you shed anylight on this?
I've tried oldest/newes/custom ROMs, it looks like unlocking procedure doesn't depend on ROM at all.
is there a way to unlock this via cable? what about flashing the rom?
my build number is
Build Number: 1.76.61.3 whats the difference with this and Build Number: 2.73.405.5?
Here is my info:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

My build number is different, to the one listed here.
Hi,
I bought an Andorid media player. It isin't very clear who made it. It has a kingzer case but cannot find the case or any info on it on their website. It was made rooted I wanted to unroot it so I could run media apps properly. I then tried to install CWM spesifcally "CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Allwinner A10 LY-F1/TREQ Tablets" thread on xda-developers. Its an Allwinner A10. So I got it to install but when I boot up my media box now I get CWM screen 4 times on my tv and its all pink saying
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
The buttons on the front of my media box only move the selection up and down cannot actually "select" anything. I have tried ADB it appears as "20080411 recovery" however when I try to fastboot it and do fastboot devices nothing appears. Iv tried both windows 7 and Linux Mint. I have no idea what to do. Id rather not just throw it away as scrap cost me £100. Below are the specs I got from the device before hand.

Perhaps others can, but from what you have posted, I have no idea which box you have.
A picture of the device, and better yet, a picture of the circuit board may help.
Then perhaps someone on these forums can identify it and point you to a ROM (Firmware) that you can load.
Lots of these things are sold under different names, so installing a new firmware may "re-brand" it, but at least you'll (hopefully) have a working device.

Hi
I just bought a samsung bkc 1B1 bluetooth keyboard, and I'm trying to use it with my galaxy tab 2 10.1 (p5110) with Cyanogenmod 10.1.1.
My problem is that is recognized as QWERTY keyboard, which it's not. So I decide to write a custom keylayout for the keyboard. First I searched for the vendor and product id :
Code:
$ : cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I : Bus=0005 Vendor=04e8 Product=7021 Version=0001
N : Name="Broadcom Bluetooth HID"
P : Phys=
S : Sysfs=/devices/virtual/misc/uhid/input9
U : Uniq=
H : Handler=sysrq kbd event8
B : PROP=0
B : EV=2001b
B : KEY=1f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000 0 0 0 10013 2000007 ff9f307a c9405fff febeffdf ffafffff ffffffff fffffffe
B : ABS=f00 0
B : MSC=10
B : LED=1f
I duplicated Generic.kl and rename the copy "Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl". I tried to change a letter, but it seems the modification has not been taken into count even after a reboot.
I also tried "Vendor_04e8_Product_7021_Version_0001.kl" and "Broadcom Bluetooth HID.kl" but none of them seems to work.as well.
Is that normal ? How can I fix it ?

Try using "BroadcomBluetoothHID.kl" or "Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl" instead.
Any update? Did you ever get this working? I'm experiencing the same issue. logcat shows that it never touches my custom kl file and just uses the Generic.kl. I can modify that file and my changes work fine, but that's obviously not the right solution. I'm working with a Nexus 7 stock Android 4.4.2 ROM. According to the documentation, this should work!

Hello all,
I would like to gather a group of people who want to participate in towelrooting SGH-I527M (or SGH-527). If you look at https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html, you can see there are quite a lot of combinations to test and it's tedious. As this is a safe root, no harm can be done whatsoever. So whoever wants to participate, let's get it done. You'll be assigned with at most 100 patterns to test.
There are a whole lot of 1,048,576 combinations, that is 4 * 2 * 8192 * 8 * 2. But as we are not looking for temporary root and only a multiple of 4, it is reduced down to about 131,072 combinations. Let's do this. It's been long time no results!
Ok I'll be the first to report back. Interestingly, I realized tr need internet connection to work! ? as it says " please make sure connected to internet!". Also, I found that the time it takes to reboot for some patterns is longer than others.
R means Rebooted, NS means Not Supported.
The following are results:
Here are first simple batches. They all made my i527m reboot!
Code:
1337 0 0 7380 4 0
1337 0 1 7380 4 0
1337 1 0 7380 4 0
1337 1 1 7380 4 0
1337 2 0 7380 4 0
1337 2 1 7380 4 0
1337 3 0 7380 4 0
1337 3 1 7380 4 0
Here is the second batch playing with the hit_iov byte and 7380 constant:
Code:
1337 0 0 7380 0 0 R (it took a looong time to reboot)
1337 0 1 7380 0 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 1 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 1 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 2 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 2 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 3 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 3 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 5 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 5 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 6 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 6 0 R
1337 0 0 7380 7 0 R
1337 0 1 7380 7 0 R
After these two "recommended" batches, here are others:
Code:
1337 0 0 0 4 0 R
1337 0 1 0 4 0 NS
1337 1 0 0 4 0 NS
1337 1 1 0 4 0 NS
1337 2 0 0 4 0 NS
1337 2 1 0 4 0 NS
1337 3 0 0 4 0 NS
1337 3 1 0 4 0 NS
The bit at the end is pointless here (temporary or permanent rooting)... they all make it reboot too.
For future reference: tried KingRoot.net and it doesn't work. I think the Chinese guys used towelroot in their program as my phone restarted when I ran it!
Unsuccessful methods I used so far:
- framaroot
- iroot
- roomtmaster
- Kingroot
- Kingo Root
Wow, this phone is a beast!!! Later models have been rooted in a breeze, but this guy NO!
Update: After seeing this post about KNOX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50654021&postcount=207), I am so scared!
stupid question
what is the benifit of rooting without tripping knox vs rooting and having knox trip?
on the 527m canadian phone ive been tripped for a long time. honestly all my samsung phones are second hand
and i root them all with recovery and flashing supersu. and knox is tripped on them all.
im so glad that only the US carriers are locking down the phones with knox
and samsung will lose a customer when that happens in canada.
Well, I agree the whole concept of Knox is stupid. We as customers will do what we want with devices we paid for and the more they lock it down, the more aggressive and creative we hackers become! so...
back to your question, to be honest, just for test, I intentionally left one device as virgin as possible for future and testing, and believe it or not, this has been the first device that I have had for more than a few hours and not jumped to rooting it... Plus there MIGHT be some Knox software for my company, so that's why I haven't touched my Mega. I love it to pieces honestly. It's just that sweet spot. I do not care about fancy pancy specs any more. It's just a game for money and stuff... like a band wagon of $ and I'm out of it.
TL;DR: I kept this Mega untouched, to defeat the Knox tripping if I can.

Why don't you try 360 root app ?
Won'y any normal rooting app will work this ? i mean rooting this device is something different from rooting other android devices. You can download the 360 root app from : 360rootdownload.info
Hi there !
Does anyone with a LG Optimus can check this stuff ?
Mine bricks (by natural means, i guess). After boot, he starts saying "Google Play stopped". Soon, "Youtube stopped", etc, etc.

The phone becomes hot and, later, very slow.
So, i rooted it and, just to investigate, killed the kuInotify process.
After that, it cools and stays responding gestures.
I haven't another LG device here, to see if these outputs are the expected ones.
Questions are :
(1) Can someone check a LG logcat output and see if it is flooded with "SensorService" messages ?
(2) What is kuInotify ?
Very thanks !!!!!!
