Is there a software or any tricks to by-pass the phone lock (password) on the T-Mobile MDA? I'm new at this, if there is a way please show me step by step. thanks in advance.
: Best Regards Babysheep :
Have you tried a hard reset or a new rom?
If you mean the simlock: search for a thread on "lokiwiz", that enables you to remove the simlock from your phone and CID unlock your phone so you can flash another ROM on it. If you are talking about the password, do a hard reset or flash a new ROM on it.
I think I'm getting the same problems as the OP. I also bought a MDA off ebay, that's still locked to T-mobile, but I dont have a T-mobile SIM card. So I can't use the "lokiwiz" program because I can't even access the OS. I also cant get my IMEI number for the same reason. So I can't buy a code online. So I'm stuck. I'm also not in the US so I can't borrow my friend's SIM to unlock it or anything like that. Would flashing the MDA to a new rom stop this? I'll appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi, first off, how do you do a hard reset? and I tired new rom but I am not sure if i did it right or not . I have just read the in t-mobile site to perform a hard reset but due to phone lock, i can not hit start and go into settings.. Please help! I know this is not a sim lock. The phone is asking for a 4 digit phone lock password.. any ideas?
For a hard reset you need to hold the comm-button on the upper left corner of the phone and the camera-button on the right side of the phone while it boots up. the esiest way is to do a soft reset and then hold the two buttons till you get the installation screen on your phone.
I think this thread is a bit confusing, since there are two locks being discussed in here right now.
babysheep is having troubles with the password that is set by the previous owner, that can be solved by the hard reset as said by freezor. His advice is a fine way to hard reset, the T-Mobile way has the same results, but is not possible due to the password. Use freezor's method and you should be ok.
Jugges is having simlock problems. Can you contact the seller to ask for the IMEI code? Alternatively, you can perhaps buy a T-Mobile prepaid SIM, although I am not sure that would work. Perhaps prepaid SIMs are also locked from the phone. Flashing a new ROM will NOT affect the SIMlock, so that is no option for you. Perhaps you better post your problem in the lokiwiz thread, perhaps they can help you better than we can here.
I think I should have read into Lokiwiz deeper. I didnt realize that you can still sync with your computer when there is no SIM installed. This allowed me to install the Lokiwiz cab, and unlock it. So everythings working now. Thanks for the help.
Hard Reset
I am also attempting a hard reset; the problem when I do the soft reset while holding the com and picture buttons, the screen that appears is 3 wide horizontal bands colored red, green, and blue. The only text is IPL 1.08, then a little below that is SPL 1.08. Any ideas?
Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?
* Download and unzip:
xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?
Richard
IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(

I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.
http://service.htceurope.com/
Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]
Thanks,
Robin
O, and I unlocked both also....

How did they try to unlock it?
Richard
hi
i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs
now he couldn't tell me what did he use
i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

Hi, and welcome to the forum. (See! I was nice!)
Telling us that 'something went wrong' isn't really enough for us to go on.
You need to describe exactly what happens to your Ameo when you power it up, so we can give the correct advice. What do you see on the screen?
sorry lol
when i do the hard reset it does the usb boot screen but goes to a gray screen that asks me to format microdrive and then flash it. i think the op system been wipped but i cant get it to the rainbow usb boot screen for active sync to fix it
You can get it into bootloader mode by holding down the comm manager and camera buttons, then soft resetting.
From there you can re-install WM6. If you didn't succeed in unlocking the unit, you'll need to use the T-Mo compatible version of WM6 which you can find here - http://uploaded.to/?id=wbbw2u
Recently flashed to NSFfans 6.5 WM rom. I couldn't activate the phone on my account because it wouldn't take the ##...# codes.
Long story short I attempted flashing Bigstorage_SprintTouchRom.exe to try and get back to sprint software where I could use the ## codes.
Everything went smoothly until first boot when it stopped at the "HTC smart mobility" screen. I then hard reset it (send+end+reset button on bottom) and it is still locking up on that screen.
Did I just break my phone?
Thread moved to General.
No, you didn't brick it. It simply sounds like a bad flash.
Try flashing to another rom and see what happens. Which unlocker did you have on? 2.31 or .41?
BTW, if your ## codes don't work is probably because you are using a themed dialer. NFS' rom has a folder under Start Menu that is called "Phone Codes". In there, you will find the PST shortcut, which will allow you to program your phone.
if you can get into the bootloader (tri-color screen) then you haven't bricked it.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
How can I get to the boot loader if the phone stays at the "HTC smart mobility" boot screen?
I tried using the rom update utility but it's not connected so it won't do anything.
---------------------------------------------
Edit: Okay, I have successfully re-flashed back to 6.5. The bootloader can be accessed by turning on the phone while pressing the camera button.
I am using 2.31 unlocker. When I try and activate the phone again what do I need to change in the phone codes to make it work?
Thanks guys.

Under the PST programming, more than likely you will only need to change:
MSID
MIN
HOMESID
username and password (for internet)
You shouldn't need to mess with anything else afaik.

Details, details - how have you flashed? Have you tried flashing from bootloader? Flashing a carrier rom from bootloader should do the trick.

Hi all,
Bought a brand new HTC Trophy from an auction site but has no warranty.
Going to contact HTC to see if they can provide some type of support.
Downloaded Zune and updated the phone fine the first time. It then mentioned another update was available so went through the process.
The last screen on the update said : Waiting for phone to reboot.
Now I watched the phone for over 30 minutes and it was stuck/frozen on the HTC logo when powering on so I switched this off thinking something had happened.
Now I'm unable to even power on the unit, factory hard reset or anything. Has anyone experienced this before?
Regards,
John
Try going on HTC's website and asking their support staff if they will repair it under the general warranty?
Yeah I've emailed HTC but of a language barrier. Kept mentioning to return to my dealer, however I didn't buy it from a dealer. Will see how I go.
Hello,
Make a gold card with the Y cable and unbrand the Trophy, and then put other ROM in it, it will work with Y cable process.

Hello,
I already test on a sticky logo Trophy, and it work.
You need:
1- a Y cable (make or buy one),
2- download the original and oldest ROM for it,
3- Make the gold card to unbrand it and do the process
It should work, say something...

Hi Prootc1, my phone initially had a stuck HTC logo and was forced to power it off. Since then, the phone will not respond to any keys / power on at all. It's pretty much 100% bricked with no responses/leds/lights emitting.
I'm wondering if I do find a repair service that offers JTAG, may be the only way? but this is assuming the phone can be switched off to reflash?
Anyways an update is that I've taken it to our local comms provider who are sending it away for service. Will hear back whether it's under warranty or not.

Hi Ansar, I have a problem since I did a soft reset htc setting the trophy to leave the factory, made a number of actions to restart, and stayed frozen in the picture there is no step HTC.
Well I'm from Spain to investigate it and I said I'll install the official rom Vodafone Spain
9_22.32.50.10U_by_ansar RUU_Spark_Vodafone_SPA_1.10.164.01_Radio_5.51.09.2
While the flash starts but when it comes to 10%, I get a message Flash Write Error (# 226) @ 12%
and there is no progress, and researched and found this
ERROR [226]: FILE WRITE
This Could Indicate That the downloaded image (. Nbh file) is corrupt, re-download the image.
and I downloaded the image again but nothing
some solution concept .????? thanks from Spain

Hey LEFTKOYL,
Can you try the RSPL/HSPL tool?
I've given WickedPenguin a guide which should help you (assuming your on the correct boot loader version)...Get that tri color screen and note down the SPL details.

I too am having the multi-color screen appearing. I plugged my phone into my computer last night for the first time and it said there was an update. I left it running and came back to a 'failed update' message and this screen. From the pieces I have gathered, from reading in the developer section, it appears I am hosed. There is not a SPL unlock for my model of the Trophy, which apparently goes by the name 'SparkW for Verzion' as well. This was not a pleasent way to start my day.
