Region unlock procedure oppo find x 2 neo Dual Sim - OPPO Find X2 Neo Guides, News, & Discussion

This guide is a copy paste from this thread:
[GUIDE] Switch software region to Upgrade to ColorOS 11 and enable Dual Sim.
I want to write this here so it's all in one place and not scattered around different threads. Apologies for the bad formatting in some parts as this is on of my first contribution. Most of this is copied from this thread: I am adding onto this...

For my oppo find x 2 neo it worked.
I remind you that it precedes it and has your danger
I am not responsible for any damage or blockages
DISCLAIMER: Use this at your own discretion. So far, when it works, it doesn't wipe any personal data
and nearly no issues are caused. Still, I am not responsible for bricked devices, broken warranties or lost data.
If you haven't already, enable Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Next, download the Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0.zip file from the attachments and extract it somewhere.
Before you run anything, though, there's a little preparation that needs to be done.
Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.
Find your Ethernet adapter and double click it to open its properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option in the Property pane.
Under the Value pane, select the radio button next to the text box and paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD.
If you don't have an Ethernet adapter, try to find another network adapter here that has the Network Address property. It may help to install VirtualBox, since it will add fake Ethernet adapters.
Close the properties window and close Device Manager.
Go to where you extracted the unlock tools. Open Sec5.exe.
Make sure your device is in MTP mode, and then press the Unlock button.
After about a second, a string of numbers and letters should show up in the left pane. A few seconds later, "OK" should start flashing in the right pane. If it says "device not found" or something similar, make sure MTP Mode is activated. Press "Stop unlocking" and close the window.
Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. Choose this one: "Singapore Ex". Note: This Version has Theme Store, but no Ringtone Maker. Feel free to try other versions. EDIT: DO NOT CHANGE TO A REGION WITH CARRIER, ESPECIALLY THAILAND AS YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE BACK! AT LEAST WHILE ON ANDROID 10. STICK WITH THOSE THAT END IN EX. Once you have done this, it appears that you can always bring up the region menu when dialing the numbers..
Your phone should now reboot. Once it's rebooted, your region will have changed.
Every time you changed region and want to change it again you need to use the software. You can get a code that you can use every time to change the region instead of using this software every time. (Update- one person report that this code(token) wont work for every time as his STAMP code changed.)
For this you need to: Open the dialer app , dial *#9434# ,press authtokendecrypt. You will see a IMEI and STAMP. Open the Sec5.exe and write the IMEI and STAMP shown on your phone in the blank space of the IMEI and STAMP in the software and press Generate a token, you will see a string of numbers and letters, write it on the token blank text box and click authtokendecrypt. Now you will see every text written in green. Now you can follow the steps in the guide but skip the steps that have to do with sec5. The Token that the software gave you is the same code that you need to enter in the *#9434# every time you want to change region so you do not need to use the software ever again.
UPDATE: Currently, it doesn't seem to work anymore for some people. Try installing Loopback network driver ( How to install Loopback) and uninstalling or disabling all other network drivers. If you are afraid of doing this with your own device you can use a Virtual Machine, too. I tried it this way.. Rest of the process is the same, just change the network address in Device Manager the same way as before.
Now that you are on the Pakistan Version, you can also run the device in dual sim mode, which was disabled in EU Mode. Some users have ordered Dual-Sim-trays on AliExpress and are now able to use it in this way. Also this might open up the path to unlock the bootloader, since that is limited to chinese devices only. I have not tried this out yet, though.
In theory, changing your region like this should work on any OPPO device running at least Android Pie (9). It may even work on earlier versions.
NOTE: This will not work for Chinese variants. These codes are filtered and will only work for international variants.

this guide no longer works with the new updates for both x2 pro and neo so let's avoid posting things that are not valid there is already a tutorial

*#3954391# and *#391#not working in color os 11 solution plz

SmartProtect Anti-Theft Software with SMS Auto-Responder and MortScript support

IMPORTANT.. CHECK ON THE FIRST PAGE FOR UPDATES.
WARNING : This software has some pretty powerful features so use at your own risk. Importantly, please read the instructions below.
Hi guys.
This is my first software using .NETCF for Windows Mobile Phone. I know this software is peanuts compared to what is out there, but I wish this would be useful to all of you as well. This software helps you track and recover your phone once stolen or lost. Features includes :
1. A Thief or Lost Prevention Software with SMS Auto-Responder and GPS Capability created for Windows Mobile Devices.
2. When you forget your phone and can''t remember where you put it, you can SMS your phone to get the exact location via GPS information if your phone has GPS Capability or approximate location based on Cell Location.
3. You can SMS your phone for other information such as IMSI, IMEI or even remotely reboot your phone etc.
4. This software is also equipped with Thief Prevention system which will automatically SMS your partner phone number if the SIM has been changed against the registered SIM.
5. This software supports registration of Multiple SIM Cards and of Multiple Phone Conctacts as Partners.
6. When your phone has been stolen, it will automatically SMS relevant information such as IMEI, SIM Card Number or IMSI, GPS Location if supported or Cell Location.
7. It is able to also auto-delete Phone Memory Contacts if the phone has been stolen.
8. It is password protected and the password is encrypted with AES-Encryption.
9. Its un-install proof. It requires special procedure to uninstall the protection, so even if you uninstall it, it is still working.
10. It has MortScript support.
You need atleast .NETCF 2.0 for this app to work (which most Windows Mobile has so not to worry).
Note that Cell Location depends on your device. It should be working but the problem is not all devices interfaces with RIL functionality so it may or may not work.
For testing, kindly use Emulation Mode to determine if the application will work on your phone before using these features :
1. Make Phone Unusable
2. Protected Folders
3. Delete Contacts on SIM Change
Emulation mode will run the protection, however on test mode only and not real mode. Therefore, it will just produce a log file to tell you of the action it is supposed to make (however since its a test mode, it does not do that action). If everything is fine, make sure that after testing, to disable the emulation mode.
This was only tested on GSM-based phones. If you have Non-GSM Based phone, and you want to try it out, kindly do and let me know.
This software also can accept SMS Commands from the partner phone so that it can return informations as commanded by you explicitly. Here are the SMS Commands that you can send. Note though that the SMS is only accepted when :
1. The SMS came from a partner phone. (You need to register the phone as a partner phone first).
2. The password is correct. Password is based on the password that you have saved when you configure SmartProtect on your phone. The password is authenticated by the phone once the SMS Command is received.
3. When the SMS Command is correct.
The SMS commands syntax is :
::/[command],[password]
example :
::/getGPSLocation,mypassword
Available Commands are :
getIMEI - Retrieves the IMEI Number
lockMyPhone - makes your phone unusable
enableLockPhone - Enable the Lock Mechanism of your Phone. When your phone is stolen, your phone will become unusable.
rebootPhone - Reboots your phone.
deleteContacts -Deletes your mobile phone contacts. It does not delete the SIM Card Contacts.
unregisterPhone - Unregisters the sender as a partner phone.
disableSecurity - Disables the security mechanism of your phone. This requires restart to take effect.
enableSecurity - Enables the security mechanism of your phone.This requires restart to take effect.
getIMSI - Retrieves the IMSI Number.
alertContacts - alerts your contacts that your phone has been stolen.
getCellLocation - Gets the approximate location based on Cell Tower that your phone has registered to.
getGPSLocation - Retrieves the GPS Coordinates.
exitApp - When you use getGPSLocation command, this application stays in the memory. This command exits the application. However, this applications will still be activated if any of the command is received.
registerPhone - Registers your sender as partner phone number.
listCommands - List the commands available for the Software.
versionInfo - Retrieves the current version of the SmartProtect.
deleteProtectedFolders - Removes the protected folders.
disableEmulation - Disabled the emulation mode.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
runPreScript- Runs the pre-action MortScript you've defined.
runPostSCript- Runs the post-action MortScript you've defined.
runAllScripts- Runs all the MortScripts you've defined.
To install the software, unzip the file and run the setup.exe. Make sure you connect your device to the computer for syncing.
Leave your comments if you have suggestions, concerns or reported bugs here[/url]
This has not been tested on Non-GSM based phone.
IMPORTANT :
Please follow the procedure below to update the software :
1. From the partner phone. SMS your phone with the command ::/exitApp,[password]. This is to make sure that the SMS module is not loaded in the memory or update may fail.
2. Uninstall the SmartProtect. (optional)
3. Install the latest SmartProtect. If you didnt uninstall smart protect, it will ask you if you want to uninstall the older SmartProtect. Just click.
4. Once installed, Run SmartProtect to verify that your settings is still there.
5. Once verified, click either exit or save.
6. You will be notified that there's a need to restart the phone. Proceed to restart.

Yap, Freeware after final release. I'm thinking of adding further features but I'll probably save it on the next version. I'll stabilize this version first.
Btw, unlike IIWPO, this software uses your SIM Card as registration instead of Owner Information. Every SIM Card has a unique number which can be used as a Unique Identifier of the owner of the phone.
Thanks!!
Yep, I know and understand your point.
But most with the feature you have are not freeware.
Thank you very much for the effort.
Trinity has GPS.
Flame does not.
Edit: Need to uninstall IIWPO before trying this?

Hi,
You don't need to uninstall IIWPO. This does not interfere with the registry IIWPO is using.

Hi Smotrs,
That's a good question. The answer is maybe it won't work. I haven't tried the application in Non GSM phone. You may try and let me know if it works. I'm happy to add that feature.
I'm using TAPI to get the Subscriber ID. I'm not sure if this will return the same CDMA subscriber ID. But for GSM, this is equal to the IMSI which is the Sim card Number.
Thanks!!
I discovered a bug but minor. If the phone is in PIN mode for a while and the SmartProtect kicks in, even if the SIM Card is correct, the application will detect a wrong SIM Card (probably because the SIM has not been registered yet??) and therefore sends SMS. Once the PIN has been keyed in, and the SIM has been registered, the protection stops.
The bug does not always happen. Only when the PIN Mode has been idle for a while.
I'll fix this by adding a detection of PIN entry.
Just to let you all know.
Thanks!!
A couple of questions...What do you mean by make the phone unuseable?....Also is their some type of way that you can send a hard reset command to the phone (which also delete's files on the Memory Card as well)?

Hi,
The application will blank the screen and therefore unusable. He can't see what's happening on the screen. He is able to receive a call though and answer it via the Keypad. He can receive SMS but he can't see it.
For your feature request, I have thought of that and will add that as well. My thought is like this. Users are able to choose which folders (Phone Memory and Memory Card) they want to be protected so in the event that the phone is stolen, these folders are either automatically deleted or deleted based on trigger via SMS. I've plans to add this feature on the next version after the final version (unless there's not much bug to be fixed which means I have time to add the feature for the final release). For now, my plan is to stabilize and fix minor bugs to make it final before adding the new features.
But not to worry though, I'll definitely add this as I've thought of this as well.
Thanks!!
Is there any way (such as if the phone is recovered) to make the phone re-useable, or is a hard-reset the only solution?
Looks like an awesome app! What a great idea. I'll hold out for someone else to test it on their non GSM phone, but can't wait.
I think the protected folders idea is fantastic, that way a person could make sure all their pictures etc are gone.

Hi,
Normally, just insert the correct SIM Card and it will work. But, for example--
Let's say you manage to recover the phone but the SIM Card has already been thrown by the thief.The solution here is to :
1. Send an SMS from your partner phone to the recovered phone with the disableSecurity command. This will disable the security of the phone.
2. Send an SMS from your partner phone a resetPhone command to reboot the phone. This is to apply the disabled changes you've SMS'ed previously.
2. Run SmartProtect and register the SIM Card
3. Enable Security.
Your phone will then be protected with the new SIM Card in-place.
Thanks!!
Updated the software with the following changes :
1. Fix for PIN Mode issue.
2. Use schedule instead of sleeping during interval run, to make the software more responsive to SMS Commands once the protection runs.
Let me know if you need further information or if the update didn't go thru well.
Thanks!!
To survice hardreset, cook your own rom.
Configuring the setting and found some question, possible improvement and suggestion.
Suggest to put a warning message that User to backup their contacts before trying out one of the feature "Delete Contact on SIM Change".
But on SIM change, it will be deleting the changed SIM Contacts, not my SIM's contacts or Phone's memory contacts.
Anyway, I am backing up my contacts now before I click that option.
Suggest to also get the "Owner Information" sent in SMS like IIWPO when the content change so you may know more things about this thief.
My question is, if phone is unusable, how to send SMS? Or you are just locking the voice but not the SMS?
If you go to "Settings->Remove Programs", you see JLG SmartProtect, you can still remove program, make this invisible.
You have SmartProtect in "StartUp" which is needed, but the program should be running is secret invisible mode upon power up and not visible to the thief.

Or you can register 2 SIM Card. Chances of you losing 2 phones together is slim. Once the phone is back, insert the other SIM Card, it will be ok.
Looking at the feature, it should able to register more than 1 SIM, right?
After Configure, only switching on the Sercurity Mode, with my first SIM, I tried to test by switching to another SIM.
Upon power up with another SIM, the SmartProtect tried to execute from "StartUp" but gives an error message.
Tried getting into SmartProtect from "Program", it gives the same error message.
Putting back the original SIM, able to get into the configurating program.
Is this the correct behaviour?

Hi,
The first one seems to be an error. Is it an application error ?Can you click on details of the error and show me the screenshot ?
Second one is a correct behaviour. SmartProtect will not get executed until you've inserted the correct SIM Card. This is to protect it from someone else configuring other than you (assuming your phone was lost).
I've released a latest update on the first page. Can you try that one ? I will give you instructions on private on to configure manually first as I'm encountering errors on my post application.
Thanks!!

[Don't steal my phone] Another thief protection software

Hi,
I've found many software that supposed to help in case your phone get lost or stolen.
Some were expensive, some were free, but none fitted perfectly to what I was really expecting. So I've made my own.
The closest in terms of functionnalities (and price) is Remote Tracker, but it requires .NET 3.5 which is not installed on my WM6.5 phone, and honestly, it's a very fat dependency.
The idea is that you install this software (no CAB, simply copy the 2 files on your phone), and run it once to set up the configuration. Then forget it.
In the case the phone is stolen, the software will send you a SMS with the thief's phone number, it's GPS position, the CellID in case the GPS pos is not available.
You'll then be able to act on your phone remotely by sending it some SMS (described in documentation).
The features that makes this software unique are:
It's possible to destroy all your personal data remotely (call log history, contact, emails, SMS, calendar, owner info, storage card) -> help social engineering to get back your phone.
It's possible to make the phone send you back the call history and the sim contacts.
Slut mode (see the documentation for details).
WOULDYOUSHUTUP mode (where the phone is very very nasty).
All other tracking software features...
This software is open C++ source (GPLv3), small (75ko with no dependencies), and free.
You'll find it at http://dsmp.sf.net (documentation on that page)
Or the direct link is attached.
Beta tester welcome (I've tested all functions already, but, you know what software development is....)
Some remarks for those who don't read threads:
whereRU: requires you to have at least a .wav file in your windows ring folder. I thought all phone had at least one .wav based ring. In 64kb, I haven't included a MP3/AAC/MP4 player.
owner: This is what I said in my first posts. Microsoft didn't feel it was interesting to document how to retrieve owner info. So, almost all manufacturer have made there own proprietary stuff. I've a HTC phone, so I've checked the code work for HTC. If you have more information about where your phone store its owner information in registry, I can add your phone support.
contact: On the main config dialog, in the combo box where you can enter the phone number to contact, you'll have a phone number list. It's the same list as returned in the "contact" command. So if you don't have such list in the config dialog, then this means that either you don't have any contact on your SIM card, or it's not working (in that case PM me).
Please read the website http://dsmp.sf.net
To install the software:
1. Extract the zip file (either on your phone, or on the PC, and then copy the 2 files from archive to your phone)
2. Run the extracted exe on your phone. If you have signed warning say yes.
3. Set up your configuration (DON'T check "Don't show this screen anymore")
4. If you have a GPS in your device, go outside to make sure the GPS is working with the configuration you've made
5. Enter a (not yours) phone number in the SMS par edit/combobox
6. Enter a password in the edit box on the bottom
7. Click done => Say yes.
8. Start the software again, enter the previous password in the field on the botton to unlock the dialog, then click on "Configuration done, install now"
9. If you have signature warning for the DLL say yes.
10. It should display "Installation done". You can then send yourself a SMS with the right format to check if it's working.
11. If it's working, delete the SMS you've just sent from your outbox, and trash, and then start the software again and check "Don't show this screen anymore". You'll have to click "Configuration done" again, but this times, you shouldn't have any warning.
12. If it's not working, well post on the forum.
Changelog:
- Added "allow" command so it's possible to use multiple allowed SIM card. Setup the software as described above, and then change your card. You'll get a SMS with the new number (if not, your configuration isn't good). Then reply with the command "dsmp # allow # password" with no space between #. This SIM card is then allowed. You can have up to 4 allowed SIM card.
- Fixed an installation bug on non-french phone. Sorry, I've been lazy, and it should be fixed.
- Added support for "Dsmp" in addition of "dsmp" as trigger code
- More owner info retrieved for HTC phones
Please go to sf.net page ( http://dsmp.sf.net ) if you want to get the debug version or source code.
sounds impressive ! i might give it a try!
good work !
CDMA diamond running a 6.1 rom. got to step 8 and each time I enter in my password and close my keyboard the screen where the keyboard was (touchpal is my SIP) shows the screen behind what it should show. hope that makes sense. how do I uninstall this software?
also, I dont see anywhere where it says what WOULDYOUSHUTUP mode is.
WOULDYOUSHUTUP is what happen when you send a sms with "whereRU". The phone rings at max volume for 60s with no possible way to stop it, even if it was in silent mode.
Useful when you've lost your phone nearby, (it won't stop until you've found it, or 60s later), or, as intended, to become a nuisance to any thief in the middle of the night.
To uninstall the software you must click on "Zap" button, but you need your password for that. BTW if you haven't done step 8, you don't need to uninstall, as the installation proceed only when you click "Configuration done" button.
If the software doesn't accept the password you've set at step 6, then it's likely that it was entered wrong at first? I'll PM you about this, if you don't mind.
installed it, and tested a whereRU with another phone, doesn't work. :\
I've answered with specific details by PM. I trying to understand why installation didn't work for you. I'll update the post with the informations you'll give me.
sounds really nice.
I just see some problems. These problems apply to any anti-theft program :
If you have a pin-lock for the device (not sim card lock, the built-in windows lock), the thief will not be able to change anything (owner, ...). He can only change the sim and try to boot, what will of course fail. As this fails (without unlocking phone-lock, no dialing), he will not be able to establish a connection to his mobile network and you will not get his number (?!)
As hard-reset is always possible (every thief can google ) w/o the program being cooked into rom, this software is senseless if you can't cook roms. I can't
If I understood it correctly, you would need to edit the 2 files to your needs (with numbers aso) at first instance and afterwards cook them into rom. This has to be done by each end-user each time he flashes a new rom and cant be done by rom-chef because he doesnt know your data.
Isn't it possible to make that wireless? E.g. you specify an email there and the programm will at first boot after hardreset (after cooking into rom) establish a connection to a server (or mail to specified mail) to download the details (cell number, pw, ...) you entered in the server? ^^
You only can enter one own cell number. Bad if you sometimes switch the sim's.
Would be better to implement that from remotetracker:
SIM Cards: you can set up to four known SIM cards. If you, or anyone, change the SIM card to an unknown card, your emergency number and e-mails will receive a message alerting you about the change and with the new number

* If you use this kind of software, you'll want to make your thief believe he succeed owning your phone. If you PIN-lock your device, then the thief will have to hard reset the phone to use it, defeating the whole process.
* In my previous phone (Universal), there was a Extended ROM made by the operator that survived hard reset. I've used that ROM by that time.
Now, you're perfectly right, with a single ROM, the hard reset kills the software. Your idea of using a external server is genius. I guess I'll add this, using your device ID (which doesn't change whatever the ROM) (or IMEI), to retrieve the config for your phone. The config will be saved on a server, and the config can be sent back by SMS (so even if the thief doesn't have network contract, it'll work).
* You switch SIM ? Is 2 SIM okay ?
I wanted the software to be extremely simple to setup, so it detected the IMSI by itself.
Now, if you need to store 2 IMSI, it'll need another edit box to let you enter the IMSI numbers.
I can add a new command "allow" that, when you've inserted your second SIM, will allow the new IMSI upon receiving.
Let me think about this.
Yep, but I won't -of course- disable excellent built-in security mechanisms to make it *perhaps* easier to get the phone back just in case someone steals my phone.
The phone-lock is ideal to keep away random access to private and corporate data from other persons (friends, aso).
Despite the lack of some functions I installed the program yesterday and it doesn't work as thought:
The program loads after each reset again with the config screen
The program is active in task manager (dsmp.exe)
The sent commands aren't executed. If I send the commands (e.g. rst or whereRU) to the phone, the display turns on but nothing happens.
(perhaps the first 2 problems are caused because I did not hide the program yet with "Do not show this anymore" Not sure about that )
You could just say at setup: Now turn off the phone and enter your other sim and start the setup again to detect the second sim
hi popol256,
is there a chance for a very thin application, that after installed on a phone (e.g LEO) makes JUST the following:
- receiving a predefined SMS lock's the phone and encrypts the msd card.
To unlock the phone and decrypt the msd card, just a so called "master password" or whatever needs to be input.
That's all
thank you,
/s1
Locking the phone is possible (but again, if you lock the phone, then the thief will hard reset it).
Encrypting the microSD card is not, I think.
So far, I think you need to either encrypt it at first use (all WM6 phone have this as a base feature). When you have data on it and want to encrypt, it's almost impossible as you'll need the same free space on your device as your card size to store the encrypted version.
(Or if only encrypting content, you'll need to reserve half your card size for the "possibly" encrypted archive).
I guess the best method for you if to use the storage card encryption feature of WM + pin lock.

You are right. The only way to have both would be to cook your own ROM with the software inside.

Yes the 2 first issues are because the config says to show the dialog.
The third issue means that the software isn't installed well.
I've only tested it on my phone, and I might have done something wrong.
There is a debugversion here
Extract this version to your card, then run the exe in it, and click "Zap". Then wait for few minutes, and reset your phone (this is to make internal mail application to release its lock on the interceptor DLL).
Run the software again, and set the config, click "done" or "ok", and send yourself a SMS (don't need to install this version, it runs from the card).
You should get 2 message box, the first one contains the path to the software (end in .exe), and the message you've sent, and the second only contains the command you've sent. If this work, well, I'll have to double check the release version.

Yes, it's the basic idea (in fact, as soon as you insert your second SIM, you'll receive a SMS, but you'll then send an "allow" command to add this IMSI in the allowed IMSI list). I'm adding this.
Hehe, got the following error running the debugversion:

Ok, my fault then, I've used French name for the path. Let me few hours to compile a new version with the regular name, I'll post back here.
Ok, I've added the "allow" command for multiple sim card. The idea is simple, configure your software as said in the first page, then change your sim.
You'll received a SMS to the number you've set up. Then send a "allow" command with your password, and the new SIM is allowed you'll never receive a SMS again.
bliblablub,
Please run the version you have on your storage card, and click "Zap" button to uninstall it.
Then delete the 4xxxxxxxxx_dfed_p (xxxxx is a hexadecimal number) from your storage card (file format changed).
Then download the updated DSMP.zip version from the main (or the official) page again.
There was a bug with the file path that should be fixed now with the release version.
Thank you for your patience.

I can't uninstall it because it was not installed I guess (debug - storage). See errors on post before
Somehow I managed to uninstall the internal version. Needed several attempts.
Now installed again on phone and again nothing happens with whereRU and any other command except lcd turning on
Does it work fine?
Any opinion?
Nice, nice, nice. Sounds like the app I was always looking for. I will download and try. Thanks
It seems to work fine on my X1.

NexT Follow instructions from the 3rd post. Below by Token419 to apply cricketmmsweb.zip in recovery for fully functional web/MMS/and apps
15. Install the anycut.apk mentioned above on your HTC ERIS. If you need help with that, pm me and I will explain a few ways to do it.
16. Open Anycut and click New Short Cut.
17. Click Activity and scroll down to Proxy Settings. Select it and Click Ok on the window that comes up.
18. Go to The home screen on your Hero and find the Proxy Settings on your hero.
19. For Hostname enter: wap.mycricket.com and for port enter 8080.
Step 3: MMS!
What you need:
a. Android SDK---
b. Modified Telephony.db --
c. Have Eris phone flashed for talk text and web (see above if you have not done this).
1. Unzip android sdk to a place where you can find it (the shorter the directory name the better as you will soon see. Mine is saved in C:\android
Also unzip the telephony.db into a folder where you can find it. Mine is saved in C:\android
2. In windows xp click start, then run, then type cmd and hit enter. In Vista or windows 7 click start and type cmd in the search and hit enter.
3. Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Android SDK. If you are not familiar with the command prompt, I will make a list of the commands I enter in blue. The rest you see will be the text that will be generated by the command prompt: CD the directory of adb!!! ex. type cd hit space the drag the tools folder into cmd window. now you can adb push/adb pull etc.
4. Type the Following command
C:\android\tools>adb root
* daemon started successfully *
adbd is running as root
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Send the Modified telephony.db to the phone with the following command (keep in mind that you will need to substitute the directory I am using for the one where your telephony.db file is located
C:\android\tools> adb push c:\android\telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
85 KB/s (4096 bytes in 0.046s)
6. Unplug your Phone and hold the power button to turn it off. Turn it back on and there you go!
some roms arent allowing the telephony.db to work giving 245kb/s or any other like 130kb/s.
My advice is if you get one to work, do a Nandroid back up, so you will always have a working web browser and MMS.

Your instructions/title look exactly like Brandonharrison's post on howard forums, if you got the instructions from him it may be nice to give him credit Also you may want to change the words "Hero" to "eris" since this is an eris guide also you can skip the part about spc unlocking from CDMA WS, since the eris comes factory with spc of 000000.
Anyways if your tracking the thread on howard you can update the web portion, to what i posted to get full market and apps working, credit goes to the team at howard forums who worked on getting it working for the motodroid. i simply modified their work so that it would work on the eris.
As promised here is a zip file containing 2 flashable zips:
One will handle the OS side to get Web/MMS up and running
The other will only do the web portion (Some people don't have good luck with the MMS that i did)
Download from the attachment below, or from here:

As always, make a nandroid backup first
download the zip and read the readme inside for instructions

so does the same process work for metro pcs and where can i get those files
Should work with any carrier so long as you know the proxy information and apn settings, in my zip you can modify the autostart.sh file and change the port numbers and ip addresses to match your carrier, then you can edit the apn to match your carriers settings as well and you should be good.
Im working on getting one for metro for you all, but i dont have all the info required and iv been busy with work, its really simple to do, i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Sorry about that, i reuploaded the file as well as modified the attatchment.
Use at your own risk, there are 2 flashes inside the zip, one for web and one for Web+mms, some people cant get the MMS to work, works fine for me, but not sure why it doesnt work for others.
Make a nandroid backup first as always and feel free to mod it however you want
You don't need QPST, and it is in fact easier WITHOUT QPST
You don't need Windows Vista or Windows 7 (or windows at all).
Thank you for your contribution for this community.
I posted a thread for full functionality as well, with a different methodology.
And "flash" is a misnomer. All of the kids who think they're cool "flashing" phones to cricket don't even know what they're saying.
This phone can be all but fully PROGRAMMED for Cricket, and the "flashing" part is just to save you time transferring iptables to the phone.

Your little thread needs some help don't flame in my post.... if your going to create a flash solution. ..please edit it fully like I made an attempt to do. And not just say "follow instructions from HF" that was pretty wack!

You don't need, QPST.
Just open up your phone, then dial ##778 (call).
ALL of the settings you need to edit in QPST are available in your phone's built in program, EPST.

bigslanki,
No flaming intended. I was being serious when I said thank you for your contribution. All I've done is copied and pasted things from other sources that have worked for me as I've tried them. I should edit it more fully and maintain it better. Thank you for your suggestion.
I haven't used QPST since the days of ##778 on this phone, and I was only suggesting that less tech-savvy people, who may have trouble getting QPST working just right in Windows, might have an easier time without it.
All is well. Thank you, seriously, for your contribution.
What is the newest/easiest way?
Looks like alot of advancements have been made in the last 3 or 4 months to make the process easier. Is this thread still the best way to get an eris setup on Cricket with full functionality?
Please help out a noob! I've read so many posts, tried so may methods...I think I am SOOOOO close! But I just can't get the web/mms working.
Thanks!
Will this work for HTC Incredible? I seem to be stuck. *228 calls cricket but a voice says they can not program my phone. I have tried nearly ALL the prl files for cricket available on the link. I can call 611 from it also and speak to a csr but that was little/no help..
Please change this to hero thanks
Web on Eris
So if my Eris is already activated on Cricket with talk and text, will flashing for web (rooting etc..) de-activate my phone?

If you have a 3g indicator in the notification bar of your phone (as long as you have Mobile Network turned on - hold the power button, and turn it on, if it's not on already), then you're ready to flash the web/mms flash.
Flashing the web/mms flash or ANY kind of flash from Recovery will NOT affect your talk/text abilities whatsoever. It can only enhance the ability of your phone to do things.
I recommend flashing the Cricket v10 flash from token419's thread here, then using APN Backup & Restore to backup your APNs, modify them, then Restore them to make MMS work perfectly:

I also called a cricket store to ask this quistion, the guy mentioned that after today, cricket will launch there own google android phone, so anyone with a flashed android phone will have to pay the $60 Plan. any idea if this is true?

That's not true.
But if you go into the store, and ask for your Android phone to be on Cricket, then yes, you'll have to pay for the plan.
Otherwise, unless they're keeping inventory of customer provided equipment (which they never have before), you're fine.
In their notes they just have 'customer-provided equipment' listed, not HTC Droid Eris.
I wouldn't worry about it. My ex-gf has this going on, so we'll see. Sprint is $69.99 for a better/faster/more reliable network, so if Cricket does this, they might lose out to that, unless people really use the unlimited minutes.
Quick question. I am very new to the android unlocking scene but I have done a good amount of research. Step 1 of this guide shows us how to get text and talk working for cricket (and I'm assuming Metro as long as you load the Metro prl). What I want to know is Step 1 EXACTLY the same as getting MetroFlashed minus adding the esn to Metro's db?
The reason I want to know is because I got my phone MetroFlashed and set up data and mms. The next day I did a hard reset. Contrary to others beliefs doing so put me back on Verizon so I brought it back to be flashed again. Now I'm reading this and would like to know if Step 1 is all I need to do to get back on Metro in the event I need to do another hard reset for whatever reason.

[GUIDE] Switch software region to allow bootloader unlocking

In my process of unlocking the bootloader for my Realme X3 SuperZoom, I hit an error in the In-Depth Test app that told me I had a "carrier-customized" device and thus couldn't continue. I figured out how to get around this without needing root. All you need is a Windows computer, ADB, and a super shady program (I've tested it and there don't seem to be any viruses in it). Let's get started.
Bootloader unlock guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x3-superzoom/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-realme-x3-t4136325/.
WARNING: this won't wipe your personal data, but it does appear to clear WiFi passwords.
If you haven't already, enable Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Next, download the Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0.zip file from the attachments and extract it somewhere.
Before you run anything, though, there's a little preparation that needs to be done.
Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.
Find your Ethernet adapter and double click it to open its properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option in the Property pane.
Under the Value pane, select the radio button next to the text box and paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD.
If you don't have an Ethernet adapter, try to find another network adapter here that has the Network Address property. It may help to install VirtualBox, since it will add fake Ethernet adapters.
Close the properties window and close Device Manager.
Go to where you extracted the unlock tools. Open Sec5.exe.
Make sure your device is in MTP mode, and then press the Unlock button.
After about a second, a string of numbers and letters should show up in the left pane. A few seconds later, "OK" should start flashing in the right pane. Press "Stop unlocking" and close the window.
Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. Choose the first one: "Multilingual Version Ex".
Your phone should now reboot. Once it's rebooted, your region will have changed and you should be able to use the In-Depth Test app to unlock your bootloader.
In theory, changing your region like this should work on any OPPO/Realme device running at least Android Pie (9). It may even work on earlier versions.
NOTE: This will not work for Chinese variants. These codes are filtered and will only work for international variants. However, the Chinese variants should be immediately unlockable.
-----
UPDATE:
It seems like OPPO caught onto this program. That MAC address is no longer accepted. However, there is a workaround (thanks to @Sonic Steven).
If you set the custom MAC on any adapters, remove it.
If you have the Secrecy program running, close it.
Disable any Ethernet/wired/virtual adapters, leaving only WiFi enabled. If you don't have a WiFi adapter, you may be able to leave Ethernet enabled, but it isn't guaranteed to work.
In Device Manager, click the root of the device tree (it should be your computer's name).
Open the "Action" menu and click "Add legacy hardware".
Click "Next" and select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)".
Click "Next" again and select "Network adapters" in the list.
Click "Next" again. Once it loads, select "Microsoft" in the "Manufacturer" list.
In the "Model" list, select "Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter" (the name may be slightly different on other systems; select the one that has "Loopback Adapter" in the name).
Click "Next" twice to begin the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to reopen the Secrecy program and decrypt.
NOTE: The Secrecy program requires a working internet connection. It connects to OPPO's servers and performs some sort of authentication.

If you haven't already, enable Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Next, download the Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0.zip file from the attachments and extract it somewhere.
Before you run anything, though, there's a little preparation that needs to be done.
Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters category.
Find your Ethernet adapter and double click it to open its properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option in the Property pane.
Under the Value pane, select the radio button next to the text box and paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD.
If you don't have an Ethernet adapter, try to find another network adapter here that has the Network Address property. It may help to install VirtualBox, since it will add fake Ethernet adapters.
Close the properties window and close Device Manager.
Go to where you extracted the unlock tools. Open Sec5.exe.
Make sure your device is in MTP mode, and then press the Unlock button.
After about a second, a string of numbers and letters should show up in the left pane. A few seconds later, "OK" should start flashing in the right pane. Press "Stop unlocking" and close the window.
Open the phone app on your device and dial *#3954391#. Then dial *#391#. A screen should come up with a whole bunch of regions listed. Choose the first one: "Multilingual Version Ex".
Your phone should now reboot. Once it's rebooted, your region will have changed and you should be able to use the In-Depth Test app to unlock your bootloader.
In theory, changing your region like this should work on any OPPO/Realme device running at least Android Pie (9). It may even work on earlier versions.
NOTE: This will not work for Chinese variants. These codes are filtered and will only work for international variants. However, the Chinese variants should be immediately unlockable.

hello
with oppo a9 2020;
does not work, I start the procedure with Sec5.exe it recognizes the device but does not give the ok; the same thing happens when you start secrecy.exe!
How can I solve?
@Zacharee1
I think this thread should be moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-general.1424/, since it is not only for Realme X3 SuperZoom.
This solution is also applicable to RealmeC11(RMX2185).

Yes, see above post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ow-bootloader-unlocking.4136341/post-84091819
Got it working. Have NO MAC address listed in the Loopback and have at least 1 other network device active with internet access!
i thought you were supposed to have no internet adapter.
Also working on Realme 7 Pro, quick question, I'm already rooted with custom recovery, am I allowed to change the region without removing root and custom recovery?

Oppo A52/A72/A92 Android 11 update via VPN

Hi,
I managed to get the Android 11 update with a bit of stuffing around and thought I would share for everyone else, I did this on a unlocked Australian variant bought from Optus, you're mileage may vary.
This will activate dual sim mode on the phone with a single IMEI, I left my location set to Europe so it is upto you if you follow the last step to remove Dual Sim Mode.
You will need to backup anything you don't wish to lose as a full factory reset is required.
I did some digging and this will work with the same rom on A52, A72 and A92.
Could I get a moderator to cross post this to the other device forums please?
