Folks! this is tested on Desire 816N with HBOOT 3.18 others do at your own risk. (Single SIM Version)
now that you have tried your hands on everything like unlock bootloaders, rooted, changing boot.img's, flashing rom's from other variants, trying all sort of recoveries...
and you find out that you have screwed a lot of things like SMS, OTG bla bla bla..
now at some point you get tired and want get back to PURE STOCK as how you bought your fav device. but your warranty will charge you since you screwed up from top to the bottom.
FINE! lets say thank's but no thank's we want to get things done for free free free
Ok so here what we have to do.
download and copy the zip file to the root of your sd card after pulling out the sd card out from phone, hook it in the card reader and copy from the computer.
the zip file is the sense 6.0 firmware RUU file provided by MIYACHIKI to be flashed from fastboot menu
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538793
download and keep it when the link is up. afterwards please do not tell me to re upload it.
rename it to 0P9CIMG.zip before coping to the SD card.
1) reboot to boot loader
2) flash this boot file provided by jithumon https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4m...it?usp=sharing (fastboot flash recovery filename.img)
3) fastboot oem lock
4) if the mobile restarting keep the vol down button pressed so that you are back in bootloader menu.
5) if your mobile is showing fastboot, take the cursur to the fastboot and press power button will change it to hboot and automatically will start flashing the files. the whole thing will take more than half an hour. system unziping and updating will happen 4 times don't panic.
one's everything is done it will ask you to press the power button to reboot the device. DO NOT SWITCH IT OFF BEFORE THAT.
VIOLA! and the party begings.
the first boot will show you that you have new updates available. download and flash.
all the problems you were facing by flashing roms from other variants are solved.
for example.
while booting it will not show developer version
it won't show tampared at the bootloader screen
your SMS will start working
your OTG will work flawlessly
now once again you can charge in power off mode
SPOILER:
We face a minor problems.
1) the bootloader will show as "relocked" instead of "locked"
I guess you can even give the device for claim if any thing goes wrong with the hardware if the guys over there are not very smart i mean the only thing stoping us is the "relocked" status.

ok sekhar, HTC Sold Desire 816N for middle east some said it's a dual sim and others claim its a 4G. when you actually go to see, it's a 4G single sim the other sim slot is simply closed with a rubber and when you open it it's a tai tai fish! i don't know how you get your hands over dual sim in Dubai. if you see Dubai souq.com you will find 816N
I bought it from DJ Sharf store in Dubai mall and they said there are two models available and he asked me to choose whether 4G or dual SIM 3G version. Then I choose this dual SIM version.
Also the middle east version has got a typical fast download feature in the rom where you can download anything faster using both WiFi and network internet at the same time. This feature was not given in any of the roms available. So I was so looking for that when you say it is a middle east version.

Hey @jacktackle, although your system says as relocked, you can unlock the bootloader again in the same manner as you would do to unlock your bootloader freshly. It is just that you will get a new code to unlock your bootloader. So if anyone using the previous bootloader code to re-unlock your device, it shouldnt work other than that it should work though. So it is not a big spoiler.
The only thing is in my fastboot bootloader screen, everything is showing up as invalid except Hboot and OS version. Not sure how to fix that. But this is only due to flashing a different country's rom on your device. This should not stop you getting any OTA's as long as the status of your bootloader is still relocked.

the only reason i called it a spoiler because if you claim for warranty they might see that it's relocked and nothing else.

Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks
Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck
thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?
No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.
quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running
I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone
I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.
Update Dec 2013
Rather than following all the steps in my post below.. I suggest that if you are looking to have 802W with English or European ROM, Google Apps, English blinkfeed etc.. that you follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48247850&postcount=1
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Update 9th July 2013.
Android 4.2.2 has been released for the 802W since this thread was started. I suggest that you apply any OTA updates to your phone BEFORE rooting as you cannot apply them automatically afterwards.
you can then follow the process as outlined below to Root your phone, or alternatively you can just install the Google apps from the HTC store.
I have added at the end of this post some links to some of the most useful posts and downloads available throughout this thread.
=============================================================================================================================
I have now successfully rooted my dual sim HTC ONE .. model 802W from China Unicom.. by following the steps in this posting :
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6174406&extra=&page=1
but even with the help of my Chinese speaking wife, and google translate it wasn't exactly easy.. so to save you the work these are the steps I followed:
Note I am assuming that you have some knowledge and experience in rooting android phones, using ADB, fastboot etc, and you have the usb drivers installed, as well as set up your phone to allow USB debugging etc.
1) Unlock your phone go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the procedure there .
2) download and unzip the zip file which contains clockwork mod recovery image, SuperSU.zip and the google apps installer from http://rapidshare.com/files/885321457/HTC1_802W Root.zip
3) Switch off the phone and boot it into Bootloader mode. Coonect the phone to your computer with usb cable.
4) Open a command window in the folder where the cwm802w.img file is placed. Now type the following
fastboot flash recovery cwm802w.img
This will then flash Clockwork mod to your phone.
5) copy the SuperSU and Google apps zip files to your EXternal SD card
Reboot into clockwork mod recovery
And first flash the superSUxxxxx.img file from your external SD card, and then flash the google apps .img file.
Voila!..

Be aware of others want to use this method, it is not root your phone only but is to flash a custom rom which has root authority. This rom has all google app and remove 3 dot menu mod included.
If you want to keep the original rom but just want to root you shall use the method in first post.

I guess it isnt suitable for your 802tT otherwise they would probably say it is for all Chinese versions of 802w/t/d
probably suggest you research the website where I got this recovery from.. google translate can help a little bit!

I just did some more research on that website and cannot see any mention on availability of a recovery for the China mobile 802T version.
I suspect that you wont be able to use that version in the US or outside China for 3G data as that uses TD-SCDMA which hasnt been widely adopted by any network operators outside china?
Yeah, I'm afraid you're right, but since I live in China it's ok. I only need to get it more international since I can't read Chinese.
So, do you think your recovery could work for me?
Thx

Hi there,
I just purchase HTC M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing the recovery?
If there is one, can somebody share it here?
So is the device dual on? Or is it single on with easy switching?
I'm thinking of getting the 802d variant, but I'm not sure if it can be used in Indonesian CDMA network though. Theoretically, it should work as the frequency bands are the same. But if it doesn't, then I'm screwed big time, cos I think the GSM network on 802d is stuck on EDGE only.

802d supports 800/1900 CDMA, same as Indonesian carriers. Roaming internationally, it will pick up UMTS 900/2100. I've rooted my 802d, but haven't tried other sim cards in the primary slots, so I don't know if there might be a carrier/sim lock there.
In any event, to root 802d, the recovery for 802t can be used, I've tested it.
The device concurrently uses both sims, and you can call or sms out of either by choosing the corresponding touch button (named "slot 1"/"slot 2")

Nice! Are you from China? Maybe you can loan me your 802d so I can test it on Indonesian network. Hehehehe.
That's the problem though. I know the frequency band 800/1900 is the same. But I'm worried our Indonesian RUIM card maybe rejected.
But you are saying I can still use the secondary GSM network and I can get at least a UMTS/3G ?
Thanks! Worked on my 802t. No I only need to figure out how to bypass the Google apps block in China....

this FTF is created from my Phones4u unlocked handset.its UK generic fimware without any bloadware. should work on other unlocked european hanset too. here is the link
https://mega.co.nz/#!txkCQArB!LMVBizNxSHpuqqvgIEPLsQWJPpxvgUXSXr7zYWz8gqw
Here is the quick guide to flash ftf using flash tool.
The first thing that you need to Download last version. Search google for latest version
Step 1 : Download the Flash tool and install it. Open "C:\Flashtool\drivers"
Run the program “Flashtool-drivers” .Check the option “Select components to install” and find the phone for which you want to flash the ftf file In this case Xperia Z2. Select both ”Flashmode drivers” and “Fastboot drivers”. Click the “install” button and wait till drivers are installed on your PC. If you are using window 8.1 64bit, follow this guide to install these drivers
64-Bit editions of Windows require digitally signed drivers. The problem is that many devices ship with unsigned drivers. Today, I'll show you how to install them regardless.
Keep Pressing shift button and select restart.
Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
That’s all there is to it. Your PC will then reboot and you will be able to install unsigned drivers without any error message
Now open ”C:\Flashtool\firmwares”, copy paste the downloaded ftf file specific to your xperia device & latest firmware.
Run FlashTool
Step 2 : Switch off your xperia,wait for 30 seconds, Insert USB Cable in PC first & hold “Volume Down or volume up” button while you insert cable in Xperia phone. Green light in notification LED confirms that phone has been connected successfully.
Step 3 : Notice the “Black Thunder” option in the top most left corner. Click & Choose option “flashmode”.
Click “Select source folder” and select the copied ftf file from “C:\Flashtool\firmwares” and check the option “Wipe Data”. Under option “Misc” , check mark the option “No Final verification” if you are on Android 4.0.4 ICS Stock version.
Click OK, now Flashtool will prepare files for flashing & flash the selected ftf file on your xperia device.
Start the phone once the flashing is done. The first reboot will be very slow. after that.
That's it you are done.
Thanks for posting this its greatly apprecaited
will this work over the top of a Vodafone uk branded version.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash stock ftf file with flashtool.
This will work fine on any branded set but will replace firmware with generic so no network specific apps (bloatware).

I'm on Vodafone with a locked boot loader and can confirm that I have flashed this firmware and also the other firmwares on here several times with no issues. So should work for you

Hi everyone!
Please be kind if this is a stupid question :laugh:
Got my Z2 from vodafone today as they have carrier exclusivity. I know that debranding the phone will do nothing with regards to the SIM lock status of the phone, however I want to get every step out of the way as soon as possible.
Is it okay to flash the firmware BEFORE having received an unlock code and will an unlock code for the network just remain the same or should I wait until the phone is unlocked and then apply the debranding?
Any advice appreciated!
(Also: Has anyone who has flashed noticed speed increases or anything that doesn't work smoothly? It seems only VODAFONE UPDATE is impossible to get rid of and I wonder if it's worth the drama ).
THANKS GUYS!

Thank you very very very very very very very much aki0306. But may I please ask if it is for dual sim or single sim version ? I bought this phone from Dubai (so probably asian version) with dual sim capability and soft bricked it when trying to root it. The phone is only 3 days old and I bought it while I was holidaying in Dubai. Now I am in NZ and cant go back to ask for the repair and so dependent on the people like you who provide the RUU for that dual sim phone. Any help would be much appreciated.

How about freezing or uninstalling the blinkfeed using Titanium backup and reinstalling sense 6? Not sure if it works but can give it a try! It would pay to nandroid backup, before you play with it.

Hey aki0306, do you know what happen when you install it over the dual sim version ? Does everything fails or it will install properly but you can use only a single sim ? Did any of the users tried by any chance ?

If anyone can tell me if this will work for my phone and steps to flash.
is it possible to get a tutorial on installation? thanks!
So I am wondering if I am the only Canadian user that managed to buy a device with a locked bootloader? I contacted Sony Dev world and they stated there is no OFFICIAL way of unlocking this once it has been set to "BOOTLOADER UNLOCKABLE" = "NO". This is a dam piss off as I was a eager to build AOSP for this device and acquired it for this purpose.
So much for that plan!

I have not heard from the general public yet on this and so far I have yet to find a way to unlock this boot loader. How is it I'm the only Bell user that found a locked boot loader? I've currently rolled back to 5.1.1 and am still unable to find a solution.
Odd if I'm the only Bell user in this situation.
I got one and it says same thing. Guess I have to sell the device. Very dissapointed.
Have you tried flashing "Customized XX" file via Flashtool instead and then try unlocking it? Usually carrier locked firmware prevents the device from being unlocked.
Yes I've gone all the way back to firmware it comes with pre release, as it would be for promotion to retailers. I've tried everything listed in xda nothing has changed the boot unlock to yes. Mine is now on the" for sale" list as I bought it specifically because Sony is supposedly selling open and unlocked devices for developer friendly experience. This is not the case with a Bell Mobility device.

Changing firmware will never change your bootloader status...if it's locked to start with it's going to stay locked...
Carriers do special deals with oem's to have exclusivity or to sell their products and ask them to lock down the bootloader...
Don't buy from carriers to remedy to that problem...
Sony on the other hand sells its devices unlocked...!
I have the same infuriating problem - further to that, since a security update pm hide no longer works via adb. I was all ready for 7.1 as well and everything has just been a huge letdown.
Sorry fellas, you got the same un-rootable pile of Bell exclusive BS that I've been stuck with since last year.
Zero way to get root on these devices. Period.
Only suggestion is to toss an international ROM on it via Flashtool/Xperifirm and go from there - you'll at least get faster software patches/updates.

Scratch that ... The firmware on that post is Russian even after selecting English on first boot. (there's still some stuff that shows in Russian)
https://depositfiles.com/files/yd5q2j22m <-- AU firmware posted on xperiafirmware.com
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862696598 <-- Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde v0.9.23.1 ... takes a long time to download
Install the flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/torrents/patches/windows/x10flasher.jar <-- Copy file to flashtool install folder (c:\flashtool) to upgrade to v0.9.23.2 (this step is not needed, but recommended)
Backup your phone and turn it off and don't plug it in to your computer yet
Now move the downloaded firmware to your c:\users\{username}\.flashtool\firmwares folder
Run the flashtool (exe in c:\flashtool)
Click on the Lightning bolt
Keep Flashmode selected and click OK
Click on the arrows in the left pane to expand the list until you get to 32.3.A.0.372 and click on that
In the Wipe section, check everything (best to do a clean install)
Click the Flash button
No just wait until a popup comes up telling you to plug the phone in and press the down volume button at the same time.
WAIT .... now it's flashing and takes a while.
Once done, the first boot take a while longer then normal.
You'd think that if you can flash a stock rom this way that you'd be able to flash a rom with a stock rooted kernel and use the flashtool to install root with out needing to unlock the bootloader .... But I'm sure people have already thought of this and for some reason or another, it didn't work.
Like the others on here... I'm not happy with not being able to root... Never buying a phone from the provider again :|
