Hello,
some of us who have bought a Hero locked to Orange can't seem to get it unlocked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555424).
For those have you who have managed to successfully unlock an Hero on Orange please can you advise on your experience- did you have to do something differently? And who you used to get the code? I have used Unlock Now (www.unlock-now.com) but the code they have supplied didn't work (they refunded me).
I have never had a problem unlocking a HTC phone until now and I find it hard to believe that Orange Heros can't be unlocked.
Please help if you can.

I am glad this thread has been of use to people.
I thought I would add and update to the first page so people don't have to wade through the whole thread.
If you are experiencing this issue you have two choices:
1)CID unlock your Hero (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559806).
2)Use a Rebel II Sim.
OK there are three choices.
3) Use your Hero on an Orange contract for about three months then ring up Orange and ask them for a unlock code. They will charge about £20 for it and you may have to wait up to two weeks for em to send it.
C'est tout.

[Update 24/10/09]
OK, after discussions and PM's on this thread I was advised to use the code I had previously bought with a different rom (when I first got my Hero tried it I was using the Orange stock rom then Modacos 2.3).
I just tested it now, took out my rebel sim put in the code and it works! I am currently using Modaco's 2.8.
Hope this helps.
I used http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/ and the code worked for me. I did get my Hero within a few days of release. My work collegue also did the same with no problems.
What network do you use your hero on now?
hi i bought one locked to orange uk and unlocked it here
http://www.simunlock-htchero.com/buy.html
i received the code in 2 minutes and it worked, i use now Optimus in Portugal
Got my second one (for the wife) off eBay a week or two back. Poster claimed it was days old. Unlocked through htcunlock fine. Three sim seems to work better with Orange radio than the tmobile hero I purchased earlier.
Zuber
RetroFlux: I'm now on o2 after my unlock.
i'm getting the same thing with my orange locked hero, I have even tried a foreign sim as suggested. But does not seem to unlock with the correct unlock code. Is there a cable method for unlocking?
I have the same problem.
First case:
Turn on the phone with orange SIM card - everything works fine.
Turn on the phone with any other SIM card (I actually tried 3 other SIM card from 3 different providers). It asks unlock code. Enter unlock code I bought (actually any code containing 8 digits) it says "Network unlock successful." But after that it allow only emergency calls and if I try to make a call I see "Not registered in network" message. After reboot it asks unlock code again.
Second case:
If I do "restore to factory defaults" and turn it on the first time with my (no orange) SIM card, it asks unlock code I enter correct unlock code (salesman gave me one, and after that I also bought the same code in the Internet )
it hangs with phrase "Unlocking SIM card...". (Actually "turn off menu" works, I even can make an emergency call, but that is all I can get from it)
Also I noticed that in the first case there is strange line on the bottom of the screen (of the size of the notification bar).
I have tried different ROMS (original, rooted, latest, modacos) all the same. I also tried to downgrade radio firmware. I even tried all SIM cards I can obtain, the problem is obviously doesn't caused by SIM/Network incompatibility. Btw, my SIM card works OK in another HTC Hero (which was bought with my one).
I think it is problem with unlock procedure itself, not with code correctness. If wrong code entered it must say something like "wrong code", but for any 8 digit code it says "Network unlock successful". Is is the symptom! )
I do not know what to do further
I got a (UK) Orange Hero about 3 weeks ago from dial-a-phone. Unlocked it without a problem about a week later from:
http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
Took about 20 mins and worked 1st time. Now running with an UK O2 sim. Sorry!
As I mentioned above, while first boot with my local SIM card it hangs with "Unlocking SIM card..." message. At this time I see the following processes running.

Im having the same issue, I got a new HTC Hero on Orange today, and it wont unlock. I used Unlock-now, so I have sent them a message asking for my money back, will that suffice. Has anyone been able to get there Orange UK, branded and locked phones unlocked.
nintendolinky, what is your ROM version ? There may be a possibility you have the latest firmware build... maybe...
i'm in the same boat! bought the code but no joy. it say's unlocked but could not register my voda sim. Anyone?
I tried to contact Orange today to buy an unlock code from them directly, after been passed about I eventually got through to someone bureaucratic wench who was completely unhelpful and I ended up telling them to F off and hung up. Kind of shot myself in the foot there.
I know this doesn't help our situation but I am still looking into it.

So are you saying there is an issue with the new firmware? When you say firmware do you mean ROM? As I have already flashed Modacos latest ROM and my Three/Vodafone/O2 sim still won't work.
I don't have my Hero with me at the moment but will post back my firmware number later, if other people (who are having the same issue) can post theirs maybe we can find a common firmware at fault.

Ok, here are my firmware details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Build Number: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 MCR2.2c release keys
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
Someone out there must be able to help fix this, pros/cooks/anyone can you shed anylight on this?
I've tried oldest/newes/custom ROMs, it looks like unlocking procedure doesn't depend on ROM at all.
is there a way to unlock this via cable? what about flashing the rom?
my build number is
Build Number: 1.76.61.3 whats the difference with this and Build Number: 2.73.405.5?
Here is my info:
Firmware version: 1.5

I was using my tablet at an airport and everything was fine before I shutoff my phone for the flight to take off. I turned it back on once the plane reached cruising altitude. I got an indicator that my SD card was damaged, which makes no absolutely no sense. also, my apps disappeared...
Problems are:
-When I connect to PC, tapping "Turn on USB storage" nothing happens, only the lile circle indicates that it is doing something but it does nothing...
-Settings>Storage: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
next to the clock it says "Damaged SD card. SD card damaged, you may have to reformat it." There is not SD card in the slot, but it still says this.
-Cannot push an SD card into the slot: It doesnt stay there even if i push it to the maximum inside. No "click sound" either.
-Cant do anything only using the internet, internal storage is not reachable in any way thus i cant install newer rom too.
Did a factory reset (Settings>factory reset) but couldnt help, still the same... I beg you guyz for your help!
Anyone?

...having the Same Problem

So it looks like I'm having the same problem with the same gear. I tried several cures to no avail.
But First the Tech Specs of my Arnova GBook:
Manufactor: VIMICRO
Model: ANGB
CPU: ARMv 7 rev 2 (v7l)
Memory: RAM 337, ROM 0.91, SDCard 0 MB (at the Moment more to that later)
Android: 4.0.3
BuildID: generic_vortex-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K 1.0 test-keys
Linux Version: 3.0.8-vimicro([email protected]) (gcc Version 4.4.3)
I copied some files to the mounted exSDCard (4gb noname) when my tablet suddenly died and the only way to reanimate it was by factory resetting it.
The Problem istself seems to relate to the inability to mount a Nonformated SDCard that i can not format because it is not proberly mounted.
I have no clue how to root the tablet. I tried a set of instruction from a french website, but since i don't speak french i'm not sure if the google translator gave me the right directions.
I tried to mount it the SDCard via terminal. Format it connecting the gbook to an ubuntu box and a lot of system tools available via googles play store.
USB connection shows the drives but I'm not abel to mount or list the contents of it. In general the System is booting up and i am able to install apps from Google Play. Since i can't mount any external devices i am not abel to transfer files via other means because the gbook wants to copy them to the interna SDCard (wich is not available ).
I am looking for any possible solution. If there is an alternate Frimware i will try it.
Thanks in advance for any offered Help!

Still trying...
Any solution i found using Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo seems to require Root Access. Has somebody successfully rooted an Arnova GBook?
Or is there really no possibel solution for a dummy user to fix this problem. It seems to boil down that i cannot mount device mmcblk0 to sdcard because "access denied".
Did anybody face a similar problem and fixed it without root?
Tried several SDCard tools to no avail...
ES File Explorer is showing me that everthing i need is there but still, every try to mount the internal storage is leading to permission denied. I'm stating to love Android
Well if there is no root, is it possible to write a shell script to revive the internal SDCard and run that with elevated rights?
ES File manager is showing the directory entry with 0 MB. Since i am a novice in Android Systems i am just not sure if that means anything.
Maybe i'm wasting my time on a piece of chinaware but this nut i still too tempting to ignore. It's just that with my limited Linux knowlegde it seems that mounting a device and formating it afterward sounds not to troublsome or am i completely lost. After asking Google, bing and some other SEs it is not that uncommon but none of the cures i found worked for my GBook.
What am i missing?
Stil no answer from Arnova on my request for a stockrom Download. Somebody got an Idea where elsee i could find a ROM image for an Arnove GBook or does anybody know if there is an alternative Firmware available?
I was able to connect to my Device via ADB

Please I am a complete Android Noob. Is there somebody able to guide me to a Point where i can start to patch all this together.
I am able to find pieces here, but i'm not getting the broad picture.
Next try...

After reboot the gbook is throwing "unfortunately UI has stopped" and "unfortunately settings has stopped". Nothing works until i factory reset it again (at least something i am growing really good at) and I'm back to square one.
Other means of editing files within the system via ADB are only leading to access denied or system is in read only mode.
Any other ideas?
By using Archtablet.com's method: "http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/firmware-development/dumping-firmware-on-arnova-g2-arnova-g3-and-other-rockchip-based-tablets/" i tried to get an Firmwareimage. They tried to Help me out but again disaster struck. Ubuntu 13.04 with usblib installed failed to even recognize the GBook. Trying it with Windows and adb i need (what a surprise) root rights.
So next question is: Is there any general way to read out a tablet firmware without rooting or is it always up to the vendor to just screw things to their Liking ?
I know i should quit this beast, but stubborn as ever i keep banging my head against the wall .

I bought this tablet in Greece named Turbo X Hive IV, a brand from Plaisio Store! A very nice tablet but I cant find any proper information about rooting it besides a thread about the previous model. I managed to install Gmail and Google Play, as it only had slideme under the name "plaisio market".

My Questions:
1. I dont know if the device is rooted, I want some guidance how to check it.
2. Another thing I want to know is why cant I find anywhere how to set different user accounts (not different gmail accounts under the same user account). Is it locked or hidden ?
3. Is there any other Cyanogenmod or other custom rom that works with this tablet ?
If anyone wants pictures of the tablet I ll upload some.
Thanks,

I got the same tablet for about 10 days now.
How did you manage to get play services work?
I only managed to get the old market work, can you give me the link to the app?
Rooting to a pure android would be great, any time ideas what rom would work?
Manufacturer seems to be Somy.
Same Problem
Has anyone found a solution on which ROM to install on the Turbo-X Hive IV?
(or Somy M10A9...)
I haven't found anything yet...
Same problem
Please if you find something, help!
Need rooting for Turbo X Hive IV (the device is not rooted).
That's what I get when I do system analysis:

Which one did nt' work for you?
Rooting?
GPlay & Gmail ?
Multi user?
Did you follow the steps one by one ?
Do you have the 3G Hive IV ?
Tried it with 2 different Turbo X Hive IV (not 3G) tablets and it worked fine!

When I try to run superSU I get a message saying 《There is no SU binary installed And SU cannot install it. This is a problem!》
Download Framaroot, install, run and select the first option. Reboot, run again and select the second option. Reboot and the tablet is rooted.

That's it!!

Have you tried it with the specified Android tablets? Did it worked? Can you send an image proving it ?
Thanks anyway!
I have tried it, i have rooted 3 tablets in my company and i have installed Google Play on them. I cannot send you an image, since i do not have the tablets with me anymore, our sales people use them, but i can help you if you need something on the process. In fact, it is very-very easy to do it. Download and install framaroot, run it and select the only option visible. Reboot and run it again, you will have a second option, select it and reboot again-you are rooted!

Thanks for your help and time ! I tried to use framaroot but didn't work. After installation, the only visible option was "Aragorn", which I pressed but a message popped up saying that root was unsuccesful unfortunately no other options to press on main screen. Any other suggestions? I am open to anything, just help me root this disappointing product. Thanks again for your time
Reboot, run Framaroot again and then you will have the second option (boromir i think). Select Boromir and reboot again, finished!!!

hi .... i really want custom rom for this tablet ... any idea ?
Hello,I know that this thread is very old,but before one year, I tried to flash a custom recovery on my turbo x hive iv tablet, the
TWRP for Android One Second Generation MTK with code name seedmtk, because I thought it would work since my tablet was a mediatek device, but I falsely flashed the recovery on both boot and recovery partitions and bricked both recovery and boot modes.I want to mention though that I have partial access to fastboot mode (I have installed also mtk drivers) and it seems that I can't flash to recovery partition,but I can flash on boot, so all I want from everyone here if it's possible, is the stock boot.img of this tablet because I'm almost sure that it will boot since system partition is not broken and it was booting before I flash on boot partition without recovery or factory mode though.
Anyway,with a few words if you bored of reading this,I want the boot + recovery.img if it's possible,I know this tablet can't do many things,but I would like to fix it.
