OK,
As you may have read in other posts, I, like many other people, have bricked my 02 XDA by trying to update the ROM. It appears there are very few XDA's / Artemis machines that will update successfully if still CID locked.
There is NO O2 ROM available
Once bricked, there are no "free" solutions
I sent my O2 XDA to IMEI CHECK and they reflashed the XDA with a new ROM (choose one from this site) - (O2 ROMs are not available). As soon as they had a working XDA, they emailed me to PayPal the fee and the XDA arrived the following day in the post - working perfectly.
All I can say is :-
I was an idiot to try and update a CID locked XDA
IMEI-CHECK are great and fixed my error for £47
If you have bricked your PDA, the only sure way of fixing it, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK
If you want your PDA CID unlocked, the only way of doing this, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK
Thank you IMEI CHECK (I have no connection, other than a very satisfied customer)
Best regards to all XDA / Artemis users
Jeff
Cheers
Cheers for that fella,
If only this were a sticky and I read this potential sticky two days ago - i'd not have bricked my XDA like the impatient, impetuous fool that I am.
Never mind o2 can sort it out.
Cheers,
Ste.
Yep, I wish it had been a sticky as well . . . . but you get to learn about life through all these little setbacks. At least there is a get-out and I have a working XDA again! It could have been far worse.
Jeff
Glass half Full (of urine)
I'm assuming that now that IMEI-CHECK have done the business on your XDA that you can now re flash it to your hearts content?
Also, why is a compatible ROM image not available to reload the XDA anyway? is it just because in our case O2 haven't needed to release one yet or what?
I might just pay the £47 and get this one sorted so I can play with it afterwards, I would have to pay them about half that to get id CID unlocked anyway so it's not all bad.
I've looked at thier site and it tells you nothing - how did you contact them - have you a name and or number?
Ste.
oops
Sorry, must have got the web addess wrong, checked it again and found all the details ok.

I have a couple questions. 1, I got my unlock code from T-Mo today. If I unlocked it just by popping in a cingular sim and entering the code, does that take care of the cid lock as well? Also, will the RUU released be compatible with the Wing? And lastly, forgive me for this as I stopped using my MDA about 9 months ago and have been using a blackberry until I got my wing, but how do I know which version of WM6 I have installed on my phone. I'm guessing that the latest HTC release will most likely be a newer build, hencewhy I am wondering about installing the newer OS (well, that and removing all the extra T-Mo crap and cooking my own rom). Sorry guys, not tryin' to beat a dead horse, just tryin' to get some clarification.

Sim unlock doesnt CID unlock the phone. Not sure which RUU u talkin bout. Regarding the OS version go to Start->Settings->SystemTab->About. Will state the OS version and aku after the build.

lol Thanks. I actually found the "about" the moment after I posted. As for the RUU, I was under the impression that when HTC releases the WM6 upgrade, it'd have a new loader and/or cid unlock the phone. But, you know what they say about assumptions.
Hey guys
As this is my first Thread here at XDA-Developers i hope you won't judge too hard about me.
"Your device MAY occasionally relock, for some reason, but you should be able to use chevron to unlock easily without any hassle"
This is a quotation from timmymarsh's thread "[REF] GUIDES to keeping your HD2 unlocked" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925889
This Thread MIGHT be a solution for this issue.
The Problem:
I experienced problems with keeping my HD2 unlocked after using ChevronWP7. For some reason it did often go back into locked state after i synced it with my pc.
The Symptoms
Every sideloaded app will show an error message when trying to start it only giving you the option to cancel or to uninstall it. DON'T DO THIS!
Solution / Causes
Actually its a really simple thing: WP7 relocks after a period of 2 weeks after the unlock progress.
Now this is ok as 2 weeks are kind of a long time but for me it sometimes relocked after two, sometimes after 1 day...
The problem is the date on your computer: I got a nice (old) converting software demo. It got a demo period of 15 days. Now i can just set my date to 1990 or so and: voilá! It runs...
Now once you sync your phone with Zune it seems like it also checks the date on your pc. And after you change your date (on your pc) from 1990 back to 2011 your phone thinks: "OMG!!! I've been unlocked for 21 years! I need to relock myself NOW! "
Now to avoid this issue the safest thing is:
- always keep your date right
or at least dont change your date while your phone is connected.
Finally(just to be sure):
Ok... one last thing: I hope i didn't bother anyone with this bunch of text ^^
If this has been solved/discussed before im sorry.
If you think the solution was obvious please forgive me as a simple developer at his very beginnings ^^ cause remember: sharing is caring
Please please please reply to this thread for wether it helped you or not!
Friendly Consti
If I may add from my own experience, the only thing that separate my device from relocking is when I forgot to turn the airplane mode "ON"
The best solutions so far is this...

Interesting thought, although using method 2 in the guide you quoted i havent had a single relock, even after 2 weeks so not sure what youve actually fixed
Ive moved this thread into the wp7 Q&A forum as not dev related.
Damnit... Well i was so sure about the date being one possible factor for the relock.
However i did some loong tests and now i really dont get any difference when changin the date.
Just follow timmy's guide and you should be ok

Can I use the same product key? which I used earlier.
Hello friends,
Are you one of those guys who are pissed of that they can't unlock their bootloader because of the stupid manufacturing date?
Well be pissed of no more because that is solved!
I was scrolling around the internet and I came across this guy!
http://unlock-bootloader.com/
Alejandrissimo is what he would like be addressed as.
Basically this guy unlocks your bootloader for only 24 usd assured 100%. He has over countless pages of testimonials (there was even one person that unlocked 11w40) and i am a 12w user and I just unlocked mine and I am happy as hell!
Basically this guy expects you to download his files which is on the website and have a paper clip just incase.
There is NO EFFORT to it WHAT SO EVER even my grandma could do it and she doesn't even speak english!
What you will have to do is just be connecting your phone back and forth to the usb and having to click back button multiple times but in the end it all pays of =D
You will also need to revert back to stock firmware 2.1 and you basically I was on GDX 2.3.7 and I lost EVERYTHING but i'm actually happy cause I backed up my aps and I get to do this anew with no more mistakes
So? What are you waiting for? Those kernels aren't gonna install themselves =P
If you need any questions I'll answer them i've personally went through this so have fun!
I came across that guy aswell.. even contacted him once and he actually replied. But I bricked my phone few days before that one so he couldnt help me. The problem is the money :SS.. dont you think thats a little bit too much just to unlock the bootloader?
People who want to risk please try to unlock bootloader with flashtool!"
Because I thikn people who get hard brick with 11W29+ use msm7227 tool!:silly:

You think wrong. Flashtool just automates the process and simplifies it, it still uses the original msm7227 files provided by the_laser. Both are as safe, but Flashtool is more noob-friendly and reduces the chance of human error.
Also, hard brick on 11W29+ devices is caused by revamped chipset that fixes the security hole that the original BL unlock uses. This means, the phone will effectively have no bootloader after BL unlock on fixed chipset devices and thus the phone is now a hard brick.

Lol don't blame the tool if human error led to you having sim card issues, sounds like you used the wrong file to me . As I said, flashtool reduces the occurrence of human error as it automates everything, but it is a little strict IMO.

The succesa rate is 100%? And how do you pay him? Paypal? Tempting.
But I'l wait til at least few guys here in xda try it succeed.

Actually, setool can unlock bootloader with any manufacturing date...be it 11w40 or 12w**...
So why do you have to pay for a guy when there is a tool to do it?
It has the same point, you pay for the guy or you buy setool credits..and setool is more reliable coz its created by the same person who made it possible to unlock our bootloader for 11w26 downwards..

setool? or s1tool?
Listen,
You guys can do whatever you want with your phone fine by me but I was assured NOT to unlock my bootloader if it was manufactured after the dates of 11w30+ so I wouldn't really risk trying out ANYTHING except for this guy.
He has numerous testominals and in my opinion if you want to keep going with your phone for people who can't unlock their bootloader this is what you need =D
So it's all up to you in the end. This guy is guaranteed 100% he just lacks to reply sometimes for queries but when you say your going to co operate with him he will reply to any query whilst doing it. So in my honest opinion the 24 bucks was worth it.
Have fun guys

there are only 2 ways of doing this.
1. BUY a unlock code!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. use xtc clip to gain s-off supercid and sim unlock.
there is no free way!!!!!!!
unless your device has RADIO S-0FF. NOT revolutionary s-0ff as it is a hboot patch. if you are radio s-off ( highly unlikely as it would need to be shipped s-0ff. )( only other way is xtc clip, but then you would already have sim unlock) then unzip and put the attached file (.nbh) on the root of your sdcard. boot to bootloader. then clear s58 data. this WILL factory reset your device!!!

I used another site but the code never came through, i found this site i used live chat to confirm they had the code, i ordered and i got the code with 15 mins and it worked first time and it was the cheapest i found compared to other companies.
Keep in mind that there's always a free way. Just call your service provider and they will send you an unlock code for your phone within 48 hours. The catch is that you need to have an account in good standing. If you don't, you can always fall back on HTC SIM Unlock. I've used them a few times over the years and even got a refund since they coudn't unlock my ancient imate JAM. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1

you need to boot into bootloader using volume down and power after the phone is off. if the white screen says s-off and does not say revolutionary then you have either already used an xtc clip, and the phone will be sim unlocked, or it was sent out like that. if you run the diag.nbh it will clear the security data for the phone, but it will only run if you are radio s-off. it will remove sim lock, and give you supercid so you can run any ruu. as a side effect it will wipe all data from your rom.
so, if you are radio s-off this will give you sim unlock. but it will factory reset your phone in the process so back up what you can

Hello all,
I have a Verizon branded M8 AND have recently switched to TMob. The M8 is running 4.4.4 and is unfortunately still S-on and locked. Am I just stuck with a useless $600 phone until the Sunshine several developers come up with a way? Is that the only outfit with the capability of rooting this phone right now? Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.

Did you try calling verizon to get the unlock code?
If you have been with them for long, they will probably give it to you for free or maybe charge a fee but well you can use your phone then.
If they are unwilling to give you the unlock code then just say that you are gifting it to someone special or donating it. Just come up with a good humane reason and surely they will help.
They will also show you the procedure to unlock it.
Also as far as my knowledge goes, it is not possible to remove your phone carrier's lock using custom firmware.

See the htc forums on xda too.
Sim lock cannot be removed by flashing or installing custom firmwares. There is a separate procedure to unlock htc phones and their bootloaders.
I am familiar with htc sensation unlocking but don't know if it is the same for M8.
Will update you when I reach a full fledged computer with the relevant links.
You can also search the xda forums.

I am quite familiar with the htc bootloader and the unlock process. The process includes going to the htc Dev site and getting an unlock token that you then flash to the device using fastboot command. The problem is that verizon seems to be the only carrier who has somehow not allowed this. When you put your a string in on the dev site it comes back with a message saying "your carrier doesnt support" somethin like that neway.... i am wondering though if there is a way to do something at a more physical hardware layer. I mean it is jus a qualcomm chip at the end of the day... if i were to crack it open physically would i be able to access a non populated jumper that would completely erase the eeprom??

It could help. Just searched xda for you. It does not require you to get unlock token from Htc.
