Is it on Orange yeah?... I *think* that is what I got on my Orange Hero and I *did* have to downgrade.
Sorry I cant give definite confirmation.
one way to find out is to try the flash rec method, it will either work or it won't.
if it doesn't work you will need to downgrade.
AFAIK, you need version 2.73.405.5 to root. They fixed our exploit after this version.
Is the goldcard downgrade method official? In other words, is it reasonable to assume that's one method that won't be closed off in future? Or is it like all the other exploits, in that Android are likely to eliminate it at some point?
Hi i have a nexus s with stock 2.3.4 rom and i never rooted it so i have a locked bootloader , my phone has an SLCD screen , i have seen a lot of tutorials but i don't know wich one is the right for my device , could someone help me please.
Sorry for my english
If I understand you correctly, you want to root and unlock your device is it?
First, take out your battery, tell us which exact model you have by reading off the sticker underneath the battery.

So work for 2.3.4 too?
Im a n00b...try to research on how to root my SNS
I have a i9020T Nexus S running 2.3.4, and I'm also considering rooting for the first time. If I root, will that in any way effect my ability to receive future updates (e.g. I won't get OTAs from google, etc)? Note that I'm not planning on installing a custom ROM, I'm just planning on rooting my stock build.

Rooting doesn't effect OTA updates. Rooting is just a matter of flashing su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip. You have to flash it with ClockworkMod recovery, which most likely will require you to first unlock the bootloader. Follow the stickied rooting guide for your phone, the procedure is still the same. You can relock it afterwards if you want to keep the bootloader locked.
unlock bootloader = wiped out all my data.
i kinda wish I can create an image but then all the app allow me to do that requires root..lol
there already an open topic for this

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.

I was one of the lucky ones who was able to use this simple video tutorial.
Its on a PAYG plan on orange
android version
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.

I have had other phones unlocked by shops and they were not rooted so how do shops unlock them
can someone point me in the direction as to where in these forums i can find how to downgrade 2.3.3 to 2.2 for my evo? or if its even possible? thank you...i hope.
I don't believe its possible...yet.
not possible as yet unless you have s-off. if you are asking for 2.3 root (hboot 2.16.0001) then the answer is no.
not yet if u find one please share.

No it has to have been s-off first. Only way to do that is if you flashed 2.3.3 from XDA.
If you did the OTA and you're s-on you're currently stuck.
ok thank you.

Sooner rather than later it will either be unlocked from HTC or hacked or both.
ruu 5.07.651.1 already release?

No. It hasn't been released. However, the OTA has been pushed, and is available here for manual application if you are a stock, unrooted user, running the stock recovery.
If you're rooted, there are a few stock rooted versions of the 5.07 update in the Development forum.
Yep, they already have an Odex and DeOdexed version under Evo 4G development..
ahh ok but there is a zip file like RUU can use a SD Card? like PC36IMG to software my fone like a brandnew one?

Nope, this RUU never surfaced. You can still downgrade the misc partition to normalize the watermark, as detailed in my 2.18 HBOOT instructions.
You'll just have to HTCDev unlock again first.
I know this is a really old thread, but I'm having related problems. My usb port isn't working and I need the newest 5.07 update in a PC36IMG.zip form. Is there any way you can post one? It would be a great help.
