Many thanks!

Hi folks,
I'm having trouble unlocking my HTC Desire 620, purchased here in the UK, and on the EE network, formerly T-Mobile.
I've tried info online on Youtube and GiffGaff, switching on USB debugging, downloading requisite drivers and unlocking tools, etc,
Then, I tried paid-help from two unlocking sites recommended on GiffGiff, unlockingonline.com , mobileunlocked.com
In each case, my fee was refunded after they failed to unlock the phone.
I'd be grateful for a working solution to unlock the phone, if possible - and saving some £ on bills, especially roaming in UK/France/USA with a better/cheaper provided than EE.
Many thanks for your help.

Unlock X01HT Softbank

Hi anyone try to unlock x01ht by softbank yet?
is the www.imei-check.co.uk tool works?
Hello jxun,
This tools will not work , and can't perchased.
I'm requested to 'IMEI-CHECK Team' of this things.
The answer is follow.
> At beging of next week the unlocker will be ready
> for Japan version too.
> Please check our site again Monday or Tuesday.
>
> IMEI-CHECK Team
Wait a moments
I see,would looking forward for that.
My x01ht will arrive by next weeek too
Hi!
can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked? Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?

>can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked?
It is solded SIM-locked. There is no way to unlock it yet. You cannot change the ROM, either, yet.
>Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?
Yes, it is only available with a contract with SB.
The price I paid for my x01ht was about US$170 under a contract with which you have to keep using the device with SB for 26 months. There is no official SIM-lock option no matter how long you use your device or phone, which is typical and common in Japan.
As long as you use it in Japan, it's a f**king great deal!!
qtotter,
thanks for your reply, I thought as much.....
I travel to Japan every year and stay for 14-20 days.
I guess I should just get a Vodafone UK version and put Japanese input on it..
Not sure just how simple that is though...
Ofiaich
Ofiaich,
Unless you use X01HT in Japan, it would be a useless device elsewhere. Anyway, if you read Japanese, visit this site for guidance to install Japanese fonts and the input method.

It is not really difficult if you understand the steps in a right order. You will need ATOK for PocketPC (which you can buy online at http://www.justsystem.co.jp/atok/atok_ppc/)
The key point is if you install ATOK on WM5.0, it tries to become the default SIP which makes the device hung up. This also happens when you change ATOK setting in Control Pannel. "Def Sip Changer" is a useful tool that detects and prevent ATOK from becoming the default SIP. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000110
There is another option. It seems like the ROM of Docomo's HTC z has been posted somewhere on the net (Unfortunately, not here... why?) If the bootloader of the Vodafone Hermes is older, you can burn this ROM to make it a Japanese device.
Good luck!

Bootloader on SoftBank X01HT is 1.06, if the Docomo hTc Z rom has been released, then it will not match the CID on Softbank's device and he'll not be able to flash it
BTW, where is the Docomo hTc Z rom? do you have a link for it?
Hi pof,
I have not downloaded the ROM myself yet, but the link to the ROM is as follows.
http://www.live-share.com/files/54847/Herm_China.rar.html
I was not suggesting ofiaich try Docomo ROM on X01HT, which does not make any sense. I meant he could try the Docomo ROM on a UK Vodafone (not SB) Hermes since he was thinking about UK VF although I am not sure about the bootloader version of the UK VF unit.
Lol, downloading now... if it's an hermes rom we don't have then I'll put it on the ftp / wiki
Thanks for the link!
guys i just got the email from imei check team.
they claim that after unlock the cid is unlock too.
Quote from the email:
Hello,

in 6h new version is out live.

I'd need some help now - I have successfull updated the device to use the HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP ROM but now I am stuck with missing connection settings. Dows anybody have the connection settings to connect to SoftBank - nay tip highly aprreciated....!

Thanks a million - but I still cannot connect:

Make sure you've chosen 3G connection when you created a new modem connection.
Did that - maybe I need to try another ROM....

How to remove arabic language from HD2

Hey guys,
I just got a HTC HD2 yesterday and while plaing around I accidentally installed value added installer and that program installed arabic language to my phone. So everything is in arabic. How do I go about fixing this, I did a soft and hard reset plus I did a factory reset, nothing seemsto be working. Is there any solution to this issue? Please advise me on how to fix this problem. Im also a new to smartphones so my knowledge is limited.
regards,
Buppy
The official way:
Go to HTC website & download the ROM aplicable to your device & flash it.
Non official:
Flash HSPL & then flash the ROM you like.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
I got my phone from a friend who got it from UAE. I was wondering will I have to download for UAE or can I download a UK ROM? Will this affect my phone negatively?
Please let me know.
Thank you for your help.

BuppY
If you do not install HSPL, you have to download the ROM from HTC middle east website.
If you want any other ROM, (HTC -UK or custom), then you have to install HSPL. There is no negative effect on the phone's function.
Thank you for your help Omar. I really appreciate you helping me out.
I will download the ROM from HTC for now. I just got the phone few days ago so I want to get familiar with it before trying another ROM. I'm really not good at these kinds of things so I'm hoping I can learn it soon enough.
Anyways I really appreciate the help.. Thank you.
regards,
Upkar
Quick question..
If I were to add Android to my phone would I still be able to create and edit Microsoft Office documents?
you can disable arabic support by going to the settings tab>other>multilingual support and then check "disable multilingual support"
this will save you flashing another rom, however, if you do a hard reset, the phone will change to arabic after the process is complete.
regarding your android question:
there are a few apps on android that support creating/editing office documents such as quick office, some are paid and offer more functions (sometimes even more than office on wm 6.5) but none is like the desktop version of course.
you can try an SD or Ram android build and see if it fits your needs before flashing NAND android
Hey guys another quick question; by downloading the rom from HTC site for middleeast and africa will the phone go back to being locked. At the moment phone is unlocked and Im using it in Canada.
I just want to know if the phone will be locked or not after the installation of new ROM from HTC site.
Once again thanks for your help

[Q] HTC 7 Mozart - returning to a stock/shipped rom?

Hi all, hoping for a fairly swift reply here...
I have an HTC 7 Mozart that was factory unlocked at purchase (Im in UK btw). I downgraded bootloader and installed Dynamics2.0 Rom and have had a fantastic time and really enjoyed using this phone and the ROM by Dynamics has been awesome.
I have now bought an iPhone and intend on selling my Mozart on but would prefer to sell it with a Stock ROM on instead of a custom one to help avoid confusion for potential buyers.
Can anyone help me locate the RUU to help flash back to stock or can this readily be done with just Zune?
I wanted to try the RUU (exe) file in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343905 but when i clicked the download link it says that I am not authorized to access that part of XDA-DEVS
Any help much appreciated.

Can I SIM Unlock an HTC One Max 4.4.2 from Sprint to work in Europe?

General help with ROMs and Networks
Dear Members of the Forum!
This is my first post here, and I would like to ask for your help. I have an HTC One Max Sprint edition, and have some questions regarding ROMs, and network types. I would like to take this phone with me to Europe, and use it there. What are the required steps to do so?
I have read that there is a command and a tool to sim unlock these devices, however, my Android version is 4.4.2 with software version 3.02.651.8, and the utility is no longer present. I tried finding a RUU for the JB43 image, but was out of luck. But honestly, my main problem is that I am confused. What makes this phone stick to Sprint? Can I use this with a SIM card on a 2G/3G/4G network? Can I flash an international image on the device, and if so, will it unlock my device to be used with a European SIM?
I know I ask a lot of you, but can you please try to help me?
Also, if anything is out of order here with my post, please tell me, so I can be a better part of the community.
Thank you in advance
