Polaris SIM Unlocker & Hard-SPL

Yes folks... the one you've been waiting for... finally managed to get the patched AMSS to boot... a nice big "up your arse" to Qualcomm.
OK... so, here's the deal... download it, follow the instructions... NO, it won't work for your Kaiser/Artemis/Motorola MR1, so don't ask.
for those of you who are already Hard-SPL (and I mean those of you who didn't manage to completely **** up replugging their USB); you may skip Step 1 by running it, then cancelling the rom update immediately... however, there's really no harm in doing it again, just remember the golden rule:
your PDA *MUST* be in WM and happily synced with the PC BEFORE running each new step.

PS: If you try to sell this, I will find you, kill you, and sell your ****ing testicles on eBay

Hi, I'm a french user, just unlocked my HTC Touch Cruise from SFR, to put an Orange SIMcard, works great ! Thank you OliPro.
Just for your feedback, I'm using Vista SP1 with User Account Control disabled, and that's all. So no scepticism to have with Vista !
Thank you again, phenix11

Thanks you !
But doesn't works on my device with ROM "Polaris WWE_1.28.405.1" (Polaris_FRA_0.58_Full_bepe)
After Step 3, the GUI program has launch on my touch and i have this message :

Hi evenmor,
Download .NET Framework.
Regards,

Well done olipro You finaly made it! It looks easier now!

Good job OliPro!
For a brand new SIMlocked (SFR-like ) Cruise, what would you advised?
CID unlock or SIM unlock first... ? The "better faster stronger ... " (Frenchy Daft Punk reference, as SFR may be the most discussed SIM locker ) method?
Thanks
EDIT: as this package doesn't include any "readme" file (only includes exe), could you confirm that it does not require any process before? Is Hard-SPL update already included in this new pack?
Another detail: is there a requirement concerning the introduction (or not) of a SD and/or SIM card before updating ? And Sync or Reset (Hard/Soft) ?
A tuto of "what should be avoided" or example of "what should work" would be greatly appreciated!
If you can confirm that with a new original phone, ie. "without Hard-SPL", "without SD" "without SIM" "without reset" and only a USB sync, it's a good solution that should work, I try this ASAP! Thanks!

I was so excited that I couldn't wait for answers...
I tried this new binary, but my PC crashed/rebooted! please help!
I will try to explain as precisely as possible:
First, my system is Windows XP SP2. I was in "user mode" (not admin).
Then I connected my phone in USB, Sync (Ms Active Sync) and ran the PolarisUnlocker.exe.
Step1: I accept to flash Hard-SPL. I agree, and then the bar is displayed with 0%. My Phone asks for "accept the update" I say "yes". Then, the bar on PC is still at 0% and the PC reboots!!! After that crash, the phone is blocked on what should be the Hard-SPL screen? (a 3 color screen Polaris PFG SPL-1.00.1000 CPLD-2 with Replug USB Cable message at the top).
What should I do?
Please help, I'll do my best to give you all the feedback details.
Thanks.
EDIT: It seems that the only thing I can do now is removing the battery to put the Cruise OFF? Should I do a reset, and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've no more phone (and of course can't sync anymore to apply the process again)!
Optional question (not really important compared to that crash consequences): Do you have an idea of the crash reason?
Does this PolarisUnlocker includes an update of the ROM and Radio part? If yes, it updates the version to a newer one?
EDIT2: I did a soft-reset to restart the phone. It came back to its original state, ouffff. Should I try again the process (ie running PolarisUnlocker.exe) or is it risky? Did I miss something before running (hard-reset before applying SIM unlock...)? Thanks

Good job Olipro, i dont regret my donation thank you

You are subscribed to this thread Imate JasJar Enterin Bootloader mode.Turnon fail

Hello Everyone,
I am not a professional or anything i am just a student.So kindly when you use the terminology make sure its understandable for a person with less knowledge about unlocking and stuff.
Ok here goes my problem, Its an I-mate Jasjar and its not turning on when i press the Power button. It shows USB on top and V1.00 when entering Bootloader mode. I dont know what am i suppose to do after that as i ran into a professional guy on msn and he showed me how to get into bootloader mode and he is too busy to help me out so i am here.
What i did was Its battery was low and i tried to Hard Reset it and now it wont turn on.
So any help is much appreciated

This is the Error i am getting when i followed Method 2 .
Kindly tell me what am i doing wrong i already Unchecked the USB connection in ActiveSync ....Whatelse am i suppose to do...please guys i really love this phone and cant wait to use it again.
Thanks.
ZODI.

hi ZODI,
you better kill the ActiveSync all together by using windows tak manager. I mean to kill the process called wcescom.exe on your PC.
Then reconnect your UNIVERSAL.
Wait a bit, then have a look in PC's Device Manager, if your UNIVERSAL was recognised and it should be listed within USB devices as HTC USB Sync or similar.
If so, then do a reflash one more time.
good luck
buzz

Hi ZODI,
you'd better kill ActiveSync all the way down, by using windows task manager.
- disconnect your UNIVERSAL
- kill wcescomm.exe process on your PC
- connect your UNI again and wait a bit
- check if display shows USB at the top of the screen
- in PC's Device Manager check, if the device driver (HTC USB Sync) was loaded
If all done, proceed and do a ROM REFLASH.
If not, you may also check at http://buzzdev.net/list.php?40 mainly those two sticky posts at the top.
good luck
buzz

Ok giving it a try ....hope it works this time and thanks.

Help, need a Dutch T-Mobile ROM (have to return my phone, production error?)

Argh,
I am really feeling down because of this...
Have my Xperia for 10 days now, treated it really well and now there is a small crack where the stylus is held in the case.

This f*cking sucks, I am pissed off. Be sure to check your Xperia's guys, you might have the same problem!
Sucky thing is, the T-Mobile receipt says that you can return the item within 8 days in the original packing when it's broken. And of course I am 2 (tomorrow 3) days over the limit...
There was another guy from NL who figured it out that after 3 days he had a crack and he took the phone back.
Now I have to do the same, but I have a slight problem. I already flashed my phone to a UK ROM and I am a little concerned that they might ***** about the ROM being flashed. Can someone upload the Dutch T-Mobile ROM for me so I can put it back onto the phone?
Anyone else having this same problem?

Rename the image file to nbh and then flash the phone
Please let every one knows if it works!!
By the way thanks for sharing the picture.
I'm checking my phone right now

I renamed the file to 'APP_SW_X1i_TMO_NL_1213-2293_CDF1216-0475_KOV_R1AA020.nbh'
Started the flash procedure, stopped at 11%, then I got an update error. Retried once, still the same... So it doesn't work!
Any thoughts?

Working on vista or XP?
Otherwise use this option
*** Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method ***
​This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure your micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it your X1
3. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right, and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction

I use XP, will check out your suggestion. Already read that there are problems with HardSPL and Vista. Thanks!

Problem with 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'

Hi all,
I have a problem with updating my phone via the update cab sender.
My HD2 is on WP7 7392 now, so I need the wp7 update cab sender and the deviceprovicioning cab. Like this, right?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then if I run the update cab sender.bat as administrator, and choose 'S', I get this error:
And if I don't run it as administrator but as normal, I get this error (and the same when I drag 'deviceprovisioning.cab' in 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
(Sorry it's in Dutch)
It's without typing or clicking on something, just opening 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
I also reflashed WP7 because I thought that that may help but after reflashing and updating through zune to 7392, I still have the same problems.
So can please someone help me or give me a tip or something. I need the mango update because in the Nehterlands WP7 is only supported since mango, so I can't use the marketplace with NoDo.
Thanks in advance.

i'm also having same problem...
please some one help us to solve this problem.....
and thanks to "jellenl" for creating this thread with details.

I assume you are running windows 7 on your desktop pc. Dont start it as Administrator as it will cause what you allready had. Just extract the tool to your desktop and add the .cab file you want to deploy in the same directory. Make sure you are not extracting the .pks files! They may look like zip files but they are not.

I don't know why the folder "If needed install this tool" is there. Get rid of it.

and im little bit successful but than i got this error: (see the attach)

Sorry for not letting you know but I already 'solved' this problem. I tried it on 3 different computers, and I got the same error as above on the first two, and on the 3th, everything worked. So touseef maybe you can try it on another pc.

I to am experiencing a similar problem as listed in my post [Q] Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.
I have received the same error on two machines, both W7P SP1 (64bit&32bit), can you tell me what operating systems and their basic configurations were? I can make a third attempt if needed.
Thanks -Airstream

for sending CAB to phone you can also use this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179

your phone should have the date and time as the computer has.and also,have you installed your x64 or x86 tool?
let us know if it helped at all.
also,screen always on,and zune not working

Thanks for the posts.
@dxdy
How would I use this utility to upload standard cabs (my phone has a standard rom and I have no interest in changing that), do I have to update the cabdata.xml file?
@florin_stann
My date and time is sync'd with the computer, x64 tool is insalled on 64bit machine, x86 tool installed on 32bit machine. Screen is set for 15 minutes and Zune process is terminated.
Thanks -Airstream

Problem Solved!
Taken from my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22853654#post22853654
After manually backing up my data (there are automated tools you can use) I factory reset my phone and attempted an update to 7740 using the following tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 with a custom CabData.xml that I created for my phone (VZW Trophy). I updated my OS (7720) and Languages (English - United States (0409) and Spanish (0C0A), the two languages installed by the default) to 7740 successfully, and then updated OS and Languages to 8107 succesfully. After the update process I reseated my battery and factory reset the phone once again, and as expected the latest OS 7.10.8107.79 (8107) is still present on my phone.
It's important to note that I have a factory ROM and my phone already had it's firmware updated automatically (via Zune) to the levels noted in my original post. I believe the WP7 Update Cab Sender would have worked as well but preferred the slick interface wCabSender provided, thanks guys!
No thanks Verizon and HTC, a BIG Thanks to all at xda-developers!

[Q] Can I update the Firmware on Developer Unlocked Device Without Losing the Unlock?

I bought Samsung Omnia 7 which was developer unlocked about 6 months back, it came with Windows phone mango installed when I got it, recently I get a message when I connect it to Zune that there is a minor firmware update available for the device, I haven't installed the update because of the fear of losing my unlock on the phone.
I just want to know considering the fact that my device is developer unlocked, after the installation of new update on the device, will my unlock remain intact or I will be forced to unlock the device again?
I do not see much or any bugs on the device and I see no point in updating the firmware as well, but just want to know what would happen if I did, as I have zero knowledge on the whole thing.
Thanks
Chakru
