Can anybody please HELP me or give me the unlock Code
Will be Thankful to him/her
Here is my IMEI code: 352277050400538

You dont have to pay anything to anybody to unlock your phone. You have to first unlock our bootloader. Go here
Follow the steps correctly and make sure you have the necessary software in your computer. After that follow this guide
@OP, +1 to aashay960, you do that and you could achieve a network unlocked Desire C.

In the Last step It Says
"On your phone you will now see the disclaimer. Please read this carefully as this action may void your warranty. Use the Volume buttons to highlight your choice, and the Power button to make your selection. If you select Yes, your phone will be reset to its’ factory default settings, and your bootloader will be unlocked. If you select No, your phone will reboot and no modifications will have been made."
But nothing came on the phone, what to do ? my phone is connected with pc

Benifits are increasing the productivity and potential. New interface, features etc.
Higher android version. Desire C wont get an update to 4.0.4 or sense 4.1 So installing CM10 for example brings all the new features of Jellybean to your device.
Personally i hated Sense UI and was impatiently waiting for a rom that used something else. Even before i would swap it for other launchers.
By far i am most satisfied with CM10, but my ultimate goal is a fully functional CM10.1
Penguin449s roms are great, so is Darkbreed. I advise you to stay away from WIP roms like CM9 and CM10.1 untill you build up the knowlage.
*self promo* Try the kernels, i heard NOPE is good ;3
Anyways if you have any questions feel free to ask.

"I heard NOPE is good" Haha lol
On a serious note, what me448 said was absolutely correct.
But if you don't wanna go too far from htc, you should try the sense roms out (there are only 2 ). They will give you a slight change in the looks but huge change in performance.
That being said, 'generally' people do have been experiencing better performance on cm10 than sense roms.
But I feel that as you have just rooted your phone, going from stock to cm10 would be a huge change. Basically, it's all down to personal preference.
Also, check out the frequently asked questions thread in the general section, or click on the link in my or me448 's signature.
It will help you to get started on things and might answer a few more questions you may have. Also, i heard it is good

Guys, I also want to unlock my sim on Desire C. I managed to get phone bootloader unlocked, Rooted, HTC driver installed and a busybox install. I am following the step 2 "Sim Unlock Guide [Desire C]"
but the procedure I don't follow.
1) Do I connect the phone with PC with USB cable under bootloader Mode or Recovery mode? I connect the phone with pc with USB, but it is NOT in Bootlaoder or Recovery Mode. I just have the phone boot normally
2) How busybox work?
3) I enter command "ADB Shell" in Windows-cmd, a bunch of thing flashed. I didn't get " sh-3.2#" , after I enter "SU", nothing happend on my phone, in cmd command prompt, it says "SU is not recogized command"
I don't think my PC is talking to the phone. what do I do? many thanks for your help.
i final figure out the problem, it's so silly, i just need to put in a microSD card in the phone, then adb command works perfectly, just log in to phone normally, plug in to your pc via USB, run the adb shell as instructed, unlock the phone is seconds
remember unlock code is 8 digits long, I got two sets of number, one set is 16 digits, it is not the unlock code

first at all, thanks to anyone who try to give me a hand in this one. i own a nexus one for at least 1 year now, since i got it i knew its true potential was in the features that are not available in the regular stock version. well the case is i dont know and i am not familiar with the terms that all of you the tech savys use. i've been going to every post, threat and webpage that talks about rooting nexus one, i've watched every video and for simple that looks like my experience is diferent, is a constant struggle because most all the time all of you take for granted that i know what ADP, CDM, bootloader, fastboot, and etc.. you know, all those terms means that i dont know. i dont expect someone to become a teacher in kindergarder for me, i just want someone give me a guide of how to do it in a language that a person that have tried very hard for at least 6 month can understand. call me the name you choose, but at least, dont tell me i didnt ask for help.

i really thanks to everyone who took the time to answer, i still clueless of half of what you guys were talking about. i get it, i can root my nexus one 2.3.3. unless i unlocked the bootloader. my question is this how i do that? and simple english please.
i want to be a little more specific of the what my motives of rooting my nexus one 2.3.3. this time around. i want to be able to get superuser abilities and be able to port the music player from honeycomb. i hope this gives you a better idea of what i want and how to do it, thanks in advance
If you want to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One, follow these steps:
**Precondition: You need to successfully negotiate a connection between your phone and the computer (adb/fastboot).
With that said,
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Power on the N1 and hold the trackball down, until you get to a white screen). Once in fastboot, connect your phone via usb to the computer.
2. Test your connection --- Open the 'tools' folder in the Android SDK folder and SHIFT + Right click and select "Open command window here". Then type the following in to verify your connection: "fastboot devices". If you get a response, then you can continue to step 3. If not, then you'll need to reinstall the SDK/usb drivers.
3. Type "fastboot oem unlock" in the command window and you should be presented by a prompt on the N1 asking if you'd like to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader. Simply select yes, and you're done.

EDIT: Here's a step-by-step guide with pictures --> http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-...n-how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
Note: unlocking the bootloader wipes all your data, so make a backup with MyBackup from the market...

How about you read the wiki first.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Read Wiki, as suggested.
First, follow the "install custom recovery" guide.
Then, download the latest SU (search Google: "chainsDD superuser zip"), flash it in custom recovery.
Does anyone really think this guy ought to be rooting when he has yet to read up on the process and terminology? FFS, he doesn't even know what most of you guys are saying.

Ok i have a unlocked bootloader, running 2.2.2 and just about to update to 2.3.3 through OTA. Right now I also have root access after I used superoneclick to root android 2.2.2.
So after reading your words I believe I have all that's needed. What should I do to root my nexus one with android 2.3.3?

If you only want the Honeycomb music player, just search for the APK (look in Nexus One Development for Music 3.0) and install it. Are you sure you want SuperUser abilities when you don't understand the terminology to root your phone? It only gets harder the more advance you go
I have a ? I read the wiki and understand the terms but I can't get into RA recovery after I flashed it ..used fastboot and bootloader is unlocked..any help? On stock 2.3.3

Really don't know that info, however if you want to get root but don't want to wait there are other ways to do it. Let me know if you are interested and I will post them up. Consider though it will take longer than it would using the toolkit.
megatronisabeast
I'll try pretty much anything. I've rooted several devices, so findind a new way for another one won't hurt. Only thing that I really would like to do is avoid making a gold card, but if you have to do that I think I will wait for the toolkit. Thanks!! Do you know if it's possible to temp root, flash a kernal with cwm, and then flash a rom?
Here is what you need to do to root your phone, etc.
First thing is to download android sdk:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It will allow you to send files to your phone from your computer-no s-off so can't flash kernel in recovery only fastboot.
While that is downloading if you haven't already you need to unlock boot loader by going to:
http://htcdev.com/
Don't forget to keep the unlock code so if you need to relock your boot loader.
Next, it sounds like you want to flash a custom rom. If so the best one in my opinion is found here:
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
You have to register to see the vivid section.
Once there you will download the zip file, put a copy on your phone, the other copy unzip and place the boot.img and wcx recovery in the same folder that you have the fast boot file that you downloaded earlier from sdk.
Then you put your phone into hboot mode, plug it in to usb port, make sure on phone screen is says fast boot usb in red.
Then open command prompt in your folder with fast boot by clicking shift and the right mouse button.
Type in these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img
After those steps power down phone, unplug from computer, return to hboot, click on recovery, then flash the zip file that you placed on there earlier.
That's it, you got it root and all.
Also if you do use his rom, restart phone 3 times to settle phone in and cycle battery 3 times to make sure everything is working correctly.
Here is a video if you feel overwhelmed to help guide you brought to you by randong!

You can use wild child's recovery to perm root ics check it site for the video if you need proof

We just need S-OFF so we can simplify this entire thing by using CWM. It's so much easier being able to flash a scripted .zip package in there than dealing with fast boot.

I've never done it myself but it shouldn't be that difficult. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the Inspire - it was rooted, S-OFF'd, and had a few custom ROMs up the within a couple days of its launch. The level of development for that device was extreme from the very beginning.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
True, I still have an Inspire and the development is still booming. I personally just wish HTC would have made the Vivid as dependable as the Inspire, bc my Vivid has all sorts of problems. Turns off randomly, and each time when it turns back on it says "upgrading android" and then it optimizes the apps for ICS. Most of the time it won't flip my pictures(rotate)<--yes auto rotate is on...but all in all HTC went down in quality with the Vivid. Personally this is why I want to root, that way I don't have to worry with HTC screwing up the update.
it does work but i have found that busybox isnt installed/installed correctly and have had to install it from the market for titanium backup to recognize my root.
A reply to numerous posts...you don't need S-OFF on the Vivid, developers have yet to figure out how to do so. It's rumored some users have received their phones shipped with S-OFF, but to my knowledge it's not because of any modifications.
Follow this thread to accomplish everything Hassons2000 tool is trying to do for the Vivid. I didn't work for me either.

Having S-OFF let's you flash a kernel through recovery. It simplifies the flashing process and makes developing ROM packages easier for the user.

hi people,
new to the forum, never realised this site existed, thankfully im now a member of this great information community
i am new to the whole rooting phones and software blah blah,
i currently have a htc incredible s with optus (australian software) on it,
now i am wanting to remove all the bloatware and just put a standard htc software on the phone that will allow me to upgrade to ics when it comes out in june for my model phone?
now i am not interested in customizing the rom or flashing it with any other aftermarket software, i just want to the original on there,
please note i am noob, and i have tried some of the methods already suggested, but still not having any luck,
so can some1 please shed me some light and explain to me how to do this in a noob manner please?
any info is appreciated
thanks
What methods have you tried?
HTC boot loader unlocked?
Lynts guide?
Novers tool ?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
i have tried a program called revolutinary or something, but bare with me as i am very noob,
if you have any other easy methods, id highly appreciate it
Hi dont worry i started off as a noob to so dont worry!
I am also with optus! YAY!
I need to know your hboot version and if you are s - off!
Here are some noob steps!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to Menu (The third button from the left on the buttons at the button). Then click Settings. Then goto Applications. Then uncheck the box called 'Fastboot'
2. Turn off your phone (If you don't know how to, unlock the screen and hold the power button until a menu pops up, then press power off/shut down!
3. When phone is completely shut down, hold the volume down button and the power button, (Hold it for a few seconds). A screen should pop up.
4. Note down all the information and private message me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will show me what method you need to use. So Private Message me A.S.A.P!
Every Australian with an Inc S nearly is Optus lol
OPTUS IS HOPELESSSS COMING FROM TELSTRA
Sorry just wanted to vent my frustration
Anyway if you root, you will not be able to install the OTA. Whichever method you use. Apart from temp root, but it will be lost after reboot.
If you want to root, whichever way you do it (I recommend Revolutionary), you will be able to install an ICS custom rom, assuming one will be made.
Just a warning if you wanted to root now and install the update later on
That is not possible :/

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Just like you I was new to this also. I used Revolutionary which seemed fine for me. The one piece of advice I could give you is follow the instructions to the letter, I jumped steps, root failed.
Tried again this time more slowly and hey presto it worked and my phone is now rooted and S-Off.
As for roms just search these forums under your phone and read em, do the research first cos that will really help you later on. This made my phone loads better and got rid of the orange bloatware that I really hated, hence looking via google on these forums for options.

Revolutinary will not work with HBOOT 2.00.0000. You need to do this method/procedure first before you can use Revolutionary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
The other option is to unlock the bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and then flash ClockworkMod recovery and then finally you can flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the Optus ROM. Then you could use Titianium backup to cleanup the bloatware.
u might have to explain it a little better for me pls, as this is my first time doing this, like i said in the op + the download is a dead link my friend

OK I hate to be so blunt, but it sounds like you need to do a lot more reading and studying about your options and how to perform the procedure before you continue.
The days of simple one-click rooting for noobs on an IncS are no more my friend.
You need to understand how to use the Android SDK tools such as adb.exe and fastboot.exe in order to root your system these days, so I suggest you begin by reading the sticky posts in this forum and then find out how to use adb and fastboot.
Hey everyone,
Im on a fully stock one, unrooted and everything, but I wish to use greenify. I've been looking around and there are many many tutorials on how to root. Each one us different, like revone, Im so confused! What do I have to do?
For now, planning on staying in a stock rom. As well, I wanna flash this:

Actually revone is a method to take security off your phone ..then you cam root...the simplest way is unlock bootloader(this will full wipe your phone back **** up!!!) Then flash a recovery then a rooted Rom or simply flash root
Revone will be easiest and best for s-off and then rooting is child's play. Head ove to Revone thread for instructions.

Thank you both! When you sat backup, it's just saving your files and maybe using go backup right? No nandroid possible until after unlocking bootloader correct?
And s-off unlocks the device for custom roms right?
Sent from my HTC One
Youll have to unlock the phone via htc dev site if you are not on a developer variant of the device,flash a custom recovery, I know twrp can root the device for you,not sure about cwm...As far as wanting to flash that mod, Im 99.9% sure you will need to flash a custom rom as well,as the mod is most likely deodexed and will not work with an odexed rom which would be what your using.Greenify just requires root i believe. And revone is not the easiest way to unlock the device, can easily screw up the phone.IF unfamiliar with adb commands use the htcdev site to avoid issues until your more comfortable.

S-Off is NOT needed for custom roms,kernels or recovery flashing, based on what your wanting to do and being new to adb commands etc, use the htc dev site. In the custom recoveries AFTER unlocking bootloader and flashing one of them, its pretty straight [email protected] backing up the current rom installed.

Thank you both! When you sat backup, it's just saving your files and maybe using go backup right? No nandroid possible until after unlocking bootloader correct?
And s-off unlocks the device for custom roms right?

Youll have to unlock the phone via htc dev site if you are not on a developer variant of the device,flash a custom recovery, I know twrp can root the device for you,not sure about cwm...As far as wanting to flash that mod, Im 99.9% sure you will need to flash a custom rom as well,as the mod is most likely deodexed and will not work with an odexed rom which would be what your using.Greenify just requires root i believe. And revone is not the easiest way to unlock the device, can easily screw up the phone.IF unfamiliar with adb commands use the htcdev site to avoid issues until your more comfortable.

Rooting itself seems easy, shouldn't be a problem. Well I could use twrp, which is better, that or cwm? Yea I'm not so good with adb... I get confused a lot, esp with spaces and characters... Like is there a space or whatnot.. long story lol
Yea I had an HTC sensation with greenify.. can't even remember how I rooted it hahaha. But the dev thing seems the way to go. Would you please be able to explain to me what odexed /deodexed means? Thanks!

If you don't know what s off is you don't need it yet... Do some more research and etc...but for now head over to HTCdev.com and then flash cwm or twrp..then you can simply flash a stock rooted Rom or whateve you may wish...
And for quaestion about back up...just back up anything you may want to your computer ...sd contents will be formatted with unlock

Typically, a rom is supposed to be odexed for smoother and faster loading of apps into memory. Each app(.apk) has a corresponding sister file(.odex). When a app is opened, called to memory, the. Odex has the information needed to start loading the app. A rom that is deodexed has only the.apk file. So when it is opened/called to memory the information to load the app is inside of the .apk and and must be pulled from it to begin loading it into memory. So at this level you would probably ask "then why are most custom roms deodexed?" People really started deodexing roms for themability. It is much much simplier to theme roms that are deodexed. It wasnt for faster speeds but for easier customization. So "themers" could build custom themes instead of have to build a whole themed rom. So now on one side you have odexed for speed, or deodexed for customizations? Well the brilliant devs in the android world came up with pretty good solutions to even out the field. In most any custom deodexed, youll see that they zipalign all the .apks in boot. While boot up time will be slightly longer, zipaligning optimizes every. Apk on every reboot which basically optimizes the information in each. Apk so when it is called to memory, the information is at the ready and quickly loaded witbout the need of a. Odex file. I kinda rambled here but wanted to answer this one as best i could because i kno many people wonder, and not a whole lot always ask. Hope this helps explain a little bit for anyone curious. :beer:

Awesome, thank you! Such a helpful community haha. And could I flash the Xperia stuff on a non-deoxed Rom but use zipalign? Am I getting this correctly?

No,if the mod is deodexed,the rom must be deodexed

Simple and straightforward, thanks!
revone can be used to unlock, you don't HAVE to S-Off with it.
Hi, I have recently purchased a Nexus 6 in order to root it & to be able to flash custom ROMs. I am basically a newbie to Android so please go easy on me. After a failed attempt to gain root access the OEM unlocking option in developers settings is greyed out and cannot be switched on. USB debugging is working. Can anyone help me to turn it all back to normal? I have tried to reset it to but its still greyed out. I have a feeling I have to work it with Commands but not really sure how. Any help is appriciated. Many thnaks.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
You don't need to root stock to flash a custom rom, why would you?
You should check out, if the booloader of your devices is already unlocked.
You can see it, if you start your phone and you see an open lock at the bottom of the start-screen (attachment)
So if the bootloader is unlocked, you have to flash a custom recovery like TWRP to flash a custom ROM.
(Others ways are possible but more difficult)
A very good guide is here:

Thanks I have followed the thread before and managed to unlock the bootloader without any probs however I can't get twrp onto the phone at all so there fore I can't get access to the root. Always get some error. Might be because I'm using a Mac and most of the tutorials i have found online are for Windows users (my windows 7 laptop is painfully slow)

Hello,
This is weird, I have found a lot of tutorial for Mac:
https://www.google.fr/search?q=adb+...57j0.9254j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
I guess at least one of them should work... :good:
Good luck...
