Solutions for HTC P4350

So, this must be my first post in this great forum so I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this in the right place.
I'm interested in unlocking my HTC P4350 and before I've posted this thread, I've already read most of the topics that talked about unlocking SIM or CID the Herald. Although, some questions remained and that's why I'm opening this thread.
First, I still can't get the difference between CID and SIM unlock and the way in which they both interact. Don't know if by CID unlocking the device I get SIM unlock, etc.
Secondly, I saw that most users tell people to follow this method, http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php but I can't really judge it to say if it's safe for my money and device.
Another option was to contact Vodafone from Portugal directly and buy them a unlock code. Although I'm really not sure of this because I want a full device unlock option (CID and SIM unlock I guess) that allows me to work with other network SIM cards, to flash the device with new ROM's and to upgrade to any Windows Mobile I want. Doesn't matter if the solution is free or not. Just name one please !
PS: Also found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433544 but I really don't know if it helps me in any way.
Peace.

CID Unlock - CID stands for Country ID..if you get to CID Unlock your phone, it means you can flash any (officially released) ROMS released for Herald. I suggest you load Hard SPL on your phone, it gets CID Unlocked plus you're safe from bricking it from wrong/bad flashing. See here
SIM Unlock - Would unlock your phone from a specific carrier and be able to use all SIM cards
It doesn't necessarily mean that when you CID Unlock your phone, it gets network unlocked too, no... they are done separately... some utilities (well on other devices) get them integrated on a single program (none i think for the Herald)
On the case of www.imei-check.co.uk, after the payment, they will be providing you an unlock kit that would SIM and CID Unlock your phone..
CID Unlock ( free thru Hard SPL)
SIM Unlock - I guess you have to pay for it since there are still no other free solutions to SIM Unlock a Herald. Contact jockyw2001 for a good price for unlocking.

Thank you very much for the help !

I'm going to use this post to say that I'm very happy with the simple and easy way that jockyw2001 got to SIM unlock my Herald. After long research in a way to unlock my P4350, a member, in this thread told me to talk to him and I did. After a 20 minute e-mail talk, I've got my Herald SIM unlocked for a small fee of 25$ US.
Nice job jocky.

So, I'm going to use this thread to put my questions to avoid starting new ones.
I've already SIM unlocked my phone with jocky and now I've done the HardSPL method to CID unlock the device.
Now comes my really noobish part. If i'm not in mistake, a WM6 update came out to the Herald and I'd like to install it on my PDA. I've got already a different looking OS because the HardSPL method but my 2 questions are about the WM6 update and the TouchIT OS install. Are they both the same thing? Which do you advise to install on the Herald?
Maybe my question is out of the context but I can't explain myself any better :x.
Regards and thank you for reading.

I just used them to unlock a T-mobile Wing. Worked beautifully, was fast and easy (with the time difference, everything was ready by the time I woke up this morning after ordering it last night).
Edit: I see you already unlocked... Oh well, that'll teach me to read the whole thread before hitting the quick reply...

Flashing the mytouch outside the U.S

hi,
I have a hand-me-down mytouch that was (I suppose) formatted and set to factory settings and given to me yesterday. The phone is carrier locked I think, since insertion my SIM card asks for a network password.
My phone is of the 32B variety.
I think you can request t-mobile (nicely) to give you the network code, but it wont be possible for many days atleast. And I want my 2.1 now
I tried Cyanogen's method and I think it comprises of 3 steps:
1. using a FAT32 SD card to flash COC10 build. This has been done successfully.
2. Using FlashRec to do backup and install another kernel. I'm not exactly sure what this step does and whether it is a mandatory or optional step. I cant do this because of the lock.
3. Install latest versions of update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed.zip and gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip . I havent reached this step yet.
Could someone help on what I should do - at this point, I am not being too picky about various ROM flavors and I'll use anything that works.
Thanks in advance.

The details of the phone are
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.261

Search forum for Complete Eclair 2.1
Best ROM for 32B!

Just making sure but you do realize rooting and unlocking are 2 different things. By rooting your phone you can get 2.1 etc... but you're phone will still be locked to T-mobile.

U can't get a network code from t-mobile and they said I have to be customer. Now my myouch is and ipod touch: '(. Might have to bite the bullet and buy 1.

Try an online unlock service?

@cten1 - went to ebay and bought an unlock code for 10.90$ (that particular value is used by only one of them .. and I didnt want to give free advertising to anyone). I chose that particular seller cos he had a very high rating for unlocks and claimed that the unlocks are generated off HTC database, not T-mobile's
I got the unlock code in 20 minutes or so - he just requires the IMEI and the phone details (like I gave in the second post)
Well worth it - I suppose you can try it.
Oh and thanks @mydevji13 - I actually didnt know that rooting and unlocking were different things. I now have Cyanogen 5.0.7 (Android 2.1) on my phone.
I think it is the most newbie friendly ROM out there.

Looking for a SIM-Unlock HTC Wildfire

Greetings friends, some of you know or have a SIM-Unlock HTC Wildfire, I have a phone of these and I could not release it so I could put a simcard from another carrier, as it is DIGITEL and I want to use with MOVISTAR, and the Phone is S-OFF, the ROOT and also has the 2.2.1 version of Android FROYO.
If anyone knows of a utility that Serve me and is not to pay online because I have no way to pay in another currency because we have here in VENEZUELA with Limited Dollars. Thank you very much for all your help provided.

The only way i know of is from a shop that unlocks phones or via a code from ebay or similar. We @ xda have seriously tried to find a method but failed. Sorry but it looks like your going to have to pay up some dollar.
MokeeOS

im 2 looking for a solution i have brought my wildfire 2day and need it sim unlocked please some1 help or point me in direction of good company/shop. thanks and im new here and not used to android i am coming from blackberry so its all new but so far i like it and hello to you all. just another Q. i have been told by my friend to s-off. I dont know what this is :S but i was told to search so i will do my search and hope to learn more about this s-off thing then use another person rom on my wildfire

S-OFF means that the security flag has been turned off, which allows you to install a custom recovery and unlock the full potential of your phone
You can still install a custom recovery when S-ON (HTCDev unlock), but being S-ON doesn't allow you to edit anything on the internal memory once the OS is loaded.
Best way to achieve S-OFF and install a custom recovery. is to use Revolutionary.

Well, once you get a custom recovery running, you can then install custom ROMs, tweaks and mods and stuff.

I am not experienced so muchg with bricks unfortunately. Seems to be hard brick from what you said. Can you take it to AU shop? or are you outside Japan?
Try to look for info about normal (non-japanese) HTC One brick problems - they are 99% same phones - so it might help

Hi people. Nice to see some information about this phone.
@umka83
What ROM did you use from the list in your first post? Can you confirm, that sd-card working.

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.

HTL22 Sim Card Not Detected
I have HTL22 (HTC J ONE) and I've followed this forum to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install custom mods, S-Off and all, but I've had problem with phone not detecting a sim card.
I've tried many custom roms, and none have worked and i even bought a sim unlock code from one of the websites, however I couldn't figure out how to put that in as the roms do not ask me to enter a code.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board

How to root HBOOT 1.54
Is it possible to root and install custom ROMs with HBOOT 1.54?
There is reference to in OP to use rumrunner. Is there any guide how to use rumrunner to root v 1.54?

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??

1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to
https://au-cs0.kddi.com/FtHome
http://nw-restriction.nttdocomo.co.jp/search.php
https://ct11.my.softbank.jp/WBF/icv...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79683988
3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○　then no problem, if the result is △　There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is ×　 - the phone is already blocked.

No news for 1.54 hboot? Im on Mexico and ther would be a lot of problems with duties to send and receive feom Japan.
