meaning of "security unlocked"? - Touch2 General

In my tri-color screen, there lies "security unlocked" in the up-most line,what does it mean?
Thank you!

Did you do hard-SPL?
Security unlocked means you can do a bit more than HSPL, like flash a radio of another device. Security lock is done by phone manufacturer.
Interesting to know how you did it....

Thank you for your response
I didn't do anything like hard_spl to my phone, it remains the way as it was shipped, maybe the seller did something I don't know.
Do you really mean it is more open to flash customed rom than hard_spl? The spl is still 1.28.0000, and I'm worrying if I can flash other unofficial rom freely.

Well apparently you have something every-body wants.....!!!
Perhaps a manufacturing mistake of HTC.......
And yes you can flash a new Rom on your device.....back-up the current version and try. Meanwhile there are some nice ones available.....
Have fun.

Thank you again!
So I am the lucky one...
Thank you for your valuable info.

Downgrade Radio/IMEI

I need to change the IMEI on one of my XDA's.
Its running radio 4.21.
Is there any way to downgrade the radio to an older version that works with manipulator, or how long until IMEI will be changeable on 4.21

Downgrading radios is advised against, and we have every reason to believe the hype. We are currently working on a few other things, no clue when we'll get to 'doing' the modem part in-depth.

Offical rom does not overwrite hard-spl.
u need a sspl to come back. olipro would provide that.

Hi Olipro,
We know hard-spl is the best on our device, but for example in Hungary service said not offical software component (for example hard-spl) void warranty...
When I took my Triniy to service, I had to restore the offical base...(ipl, spl, os, radio).
But of course if everything works, hard-spl stays on pda!
AND THANKS FOR HARD-SPL

well fine...
run the Hard-SPL updater, as soon as it puts your phone in bootloader and asks you to replug USB... DON'T... wait for the RUU on the PC to timeout and exit, NOW replug the USB, flash a normal ROM.
Thank you.

I tried the method exactly what oli said...it is not working
Could you try it too?
I tried but also stuck at 14% and stucks in bootloader after each reset
I've tried it a hundred times and it does'nt work. Might as well forget it. The procedure just suck and we're not even getting a decent reply except being sweared at.

What is being installed, and how to STOP it?

After formating my athena it automatically starts to install something!
Does anyone know what it installs and if it is possible to stop it from doing that?
I want to make a new fresh installation and only install programs that I like and want!
I have the original WM6 rom!
Please help!
I think you are seeing the device initialization, something that HTC has inserted into the ROM installation process. Not something you want to stop if you want the drivers so everything works.
It is the Extended ROM - basically all the customisation your carrier installs.
But why on earth use a standard ROM rather than an AP one?

I am not familiar with that, what is it?

AP = Athena Project
A group of very clever people have created ROMS for the Athena with all the good biots and none of the bad bits.
The latest version is 3.0 Dual at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346221
But 4.0 is finished and will be released when the unlocker is ready.
Thank you so much!

If I install the AP 3 Rom, will I void my warranty?
yes, because you have to use olipro's unlocker first so your device can be super CID
edit: your original question - i think but im not for sure be if you stick the stylus in the back and and do a soft reset right before the customizations start then next time your phone loads it wont load that stuff but there is some stuff in there you might want.

Quite Correct! A soft reset during the three second warning will bypass the customizations. No harm in trying it without the customizations, then do a hard reset and let them install. If you don't need any of the extras, you can hard reset again and bypass again with the soft reset.

Yes - although you can flash back to an official ROM your device will have to be super CID - but most operators don't notice the super CID and people have claimed off their warranty successfully. One person recently got their device back from T-Mob and it was CID locked again!

Go into bootloader mode (power+voldown and plug in the usb) wait till the driver is installed and then execute the downloaded file in the first post.

Yes , it should be on the phone .
only pre production/Demo phones can have a older/other version of this rom
but still this is interesting when there is a Hspl we can flash TMOUS on a O2 branded phone or stock HTC on a TMOUS
and yes I think that I know way you asked it , there are people that use this ruu to update there DEMO phone , the problem is that not all demo phones are stolen and xda isn't a police department.
but ofcourse it is better for people to return there DEMO phone and get a new one .

actually, I was asking because I am trying to figure out why people are all trying to flash their brand new phones that have a brand new OS on them...
I really don't care where people got their phones.
and just for reference I have the same radio but a higher firmware apparently: 1.20.015.31
Well for me I flashed it because it was freezing like crazy on me and maybe it was a bad flash that was causing it but it wasn't.

FILES CORRUPTED
All of the files for your start screen have been corrupted. the only way to fix this is to reset your phone to factory settings.
etc etc etc.
when I reset the phone to factory settings, got the same result "Files Corrupted"

Bricked TMOUS HD 2

Hey guys I have a question. I was trying to create more space on my HD2 a few months ago and my phone went dead. The light doesn't come on to show it's charging and it doesn't show any signs of turning on. I just left the phone but now I think I want to have the phone back on. Is there any way to unbrick the phone to get it back at least working. I was trying to put a new radio on it but I put the wrong version and it complete killed the phone. Any help or suggestions to getting this problem fix.
Thanks

1) where did you get the idea that flashing a radio created more space?
2) If you flashed an incompatible radio then there is no unbricking except jtag
Orangekid is right the only fix it to have it JTAGed. Contact me via PM and I can reffer you to someone that offers this servos if you want it unbricked.
Edit: Sorry I had not checked my inbox yet and read your message.

The title of that thread needs to be changed. A truly bricked HD2 will not even turn on which means you can not get to the bootloader. A truly bricked HD2 is bricked because the SPL of bootloader has gotten screwed up and it cannot boot any of the software. Hence the phone can not turn on, hence the term "brick" because it is a useless brick. If someone has a phone that that they can still get to bootloader with it is not bricked. A phone like that is just havering software or user difficulties and can in most cases be fixed, unless it is a hardware problem. Even then it can be fixed just not by flashing different software.

Dude, If you can get into the bootloader its not "bricked" obviously.
When you flash a EU radio to a US HD2 you do a "real" brick not just a n00by flashing problem.

Most likely got mixed up between RAM and ROM and thought that it would enable more storage instead of ram.
Either way he deserves the brick for not reading/researching properly before messing about with his device.
you do realize that thread was made for exactly what everyone is referring to right?
when someone flashes a eu radio/rom on their device right and renders it useless...its an old thread but some users have reported success.
however if it is a bl issue it won't work
I should've said that

I think we do realize that thread was started to try to help people. But that does not change the fact that if you flash a x.xx.51.xx radio (which are EU radios) or a 2.04.50.xx or a 2.05.50.xx radio (which are test radios) to a TMOUS HD2 it will, not maybe, but will brick a HD2. This is a Bootloader issue when you do this. So again that threads title needs to be changed and it is useless to the OP.
As T-Mac said, this is a physical brick. That phone is not going to power on again until it get's JTAG resurrected.
