Unlocking a desire hd

I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment

Can't you just unlock it with gfree?

You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going

Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)

Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser

to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.

thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip
EDIT: Found it

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

Oh my bad. Thought you sent him to your other post... Still I suspect he got to step 8 and pulled the vz firmware.
OP: Download one of those restore files for the 201M and flash it. That should repair any damage done...

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

Don't think you'll need to since it's designed for your device. You can try without the edit and do it if it doesn't work. I'll try to find a guide for RSDLite (been a while since I used it myself - fastboot is usually what I use now...

Dear sir,
I'd like you to buy a ticket to Karachi right now because I'd run all the way to the airport to KISS YOU until the police dragged me away.
The process worked. My wifi just turned back on. Thank you very much for the weekend stress relief!
I think I'm gonna give up on the idea of rooting this thing until there's a more reliable method available. Also, if anyone has the same issue then take note: I did remove the getvar commands when using RSD.

I am glad SC took care of you & I am sorry I lead you in that direction.
Please fill in some details for others?
How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.
Thank you

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

Lol no problem, glad to know it worked. Getting root is actually really simple since you're unlocked. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery and flash a root .zip from there... No exploits required
I can try to write up a guide to that if you want

I tried that, and while it did install superuser, it seemed to have no effect. I couldn't get permissions for any app and using ROM manager's functions would just freeze up that particular application. Any ideas?

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.
---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

Unlock bootloader and ZTE Updates

Hi,
I am waiting for my axon 7.
In the meantime, I would like to understand if I can unlock the bootloader, get the root, but have also the update released by ZTE.
If I have the ensure that I can update my phone, also with an unlocked bootloader, I perform the procedure the first day that the phone arrived at my location.
You know if there is a safe way?
Regards and thanks,
youngz

Get OTA Updates with unlocked bootloader is possible, but with root it isn't.

Is it because the update "delete" the root access? Or something else?
If it is the delete of the root access, I think that i can re-root the phone after the update (I have an unlocked bootloader with TWMP installed, so I can re-install Supersu or similar). Is it correct?

Yes you can. I did with the help of @DrakenFX information he posted.

Not 100% accurate. You Can still get OTAs on rooted devices, you just need to rollback Root for the update

It's because root and apps that use root make changes to partitions (such as boot and system), and when the update checks those partitions, it sees that something has changed and will not apply.

What I did was download the b20_boot image, unlocked the bootloader and such. However @DrakenFX has newer ways of doing it.
You can find it HERE
This looks a lot less intrusive than what I had to go through.

I commit a mistake, i forget that my version is the european version.
Now I have installed the b02 version. Can I unlock the bootloader? If I can not, you suggest to update the smatphone?

At the moment, there is no official bootloader unlock method for the A2017G. However, one is coming. Report to @rikin93 post here about that.
There is the unofficial way posted by @DrakenFX and showed to you by @swehes that's reported to work with the European version but since an official way is coming in the near future i would wait, it's not like unlocking now would provide anything at the moment.
About updating, it seems like a safe option to do so. It seems that @DrakenFX way of unlocking is working on both B02 and B03 anyway if ZTE ever wanted to not unlock the bootloader even tough they said they would.

Rollback to mm from NRD90m test-keys HELP

How i can downgrade NRD90m test-keys to L21C432b160 mm with a rollback package ? i tried to put in dload folder but doesent work, i have no root,bootloader is lock(because huawei refuse to give the unlock key), no custom recovery. i want to downgrade because a lot of app is missing , and i want official when they relese it. Thanks and sorry for bad english!

was this updated through official methods?
i have the nrd90-test keys build and i have not managed to find a working image for the DLOAD folder. im also not sure if you can downgrade that easy there is a spanish forum that is oftne linked here with a downgrade guide but you 100% need unlocked bootloader to do that.

No i updated trough Charles app with fake ip adress. I tried to unlock bootloader but Huawei doesent want to give me unlock key because warranty,they sended me a mail.

MANY, MANY people warn about not using that method (even me) because it doesn't let you update correctly, why d'you do that? Now without an unlocked bootloader you can't even go back. Can't do anything, actually. Because to go back to MM you need it unlocked. Any other method doesn't work. Just try to obtain the bootloader code, in the meantime you can't do anything but wait. Maybe next time read other people's experiences before trying to mod your device?

Try dc phoenix. To load a mm update.app. Should work even with locked boot loader or if you brick the phone. I had a similar thing happen with an it's update, I think its because I had root and redo installed.

i ended up sending the device to huawei vip service, they replaced the motherboard. i was kind of surprised, i had expected them to just reflash stock firmware but no.

As far as I know, the ta 1025 is basically the same as ta 1021. The recovery is in the [RECOVERY] TWRP 3.2 (and a sneak peak...) Thread here in the forums. You have to look for the image with 64bit on the filename, it lays in a MEGA link. Sorry for not linking but I am on mobile now and don't have that much time. I'll link it later.

You can use the OST LA to reflash it to TA-1025.
And follow this guide to root your phone:

Well its a long process I used a post called convert global to Chinese ROM nokia 6 and I followed the instructions.then I proceeded to buy a bootloader unlock key and did the note you must click on edit phone information in OST before attempting the unlock as it needs the service permissions then just use fastboot with latest adb platform tools .i used the dm-verity commands to allow partition flashing and the critical commands for bootloader flashing and I flashed the unlock bin file.Im using the Chinese ROM as it has more features and NFC you'd have to sideload the play store but it works.also wouldn't hurt to check the forums for the other commands.the official recovery on twrp.me works flawlessly.also make sure you battery is at the least 50% charged anything below 15%charge ost will refuse to flash

Im thinking of getting the Nokia 6 from amazon but the model they sell isnt listed and the rooting guides I find require the phone model number.
Anyone else purchase from amazon and if so what model is the one they sell?

Go here follow guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-convert-nokia-6-global-variant-to-t3838082 .then go here to buy a unlock key.https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/.
*mods im not promoting this site for bootloader unlocking it worked for me so id figured ill help some people out please don't rape me..
In the mean time when the firmware is flashed update it decided taking risk at this for fun.also I can't live without my magisk modules.so anyone that sees this post follow it.it should work. I assume it should work on other Nokia 6 variants as well.
