What's the difference between odex and deodex rom

Google can explain it better than I can.

Lol.cafe help me

1. Download the script and put it on your SD card.
2. Start the phone into bootloader and run CWM Recovery.
3. Install the zip file for the script

Having a problem at the unlocking stage, it's quite strange actually. Tried using the Orange UK RUU, but my phone is sim-free (which i almost forgot) so the on-screen installation was giving me an error saying that I could no update the ROM but there will be one available soon.

Then I used the generic HTC EU RUU, which seemed to work, installation complete, but the phone was still Locked and could not find the image. Then I used the second method by placing the ROM.zip in the root of my SD, the image was successfully found, clicked YES to install it but it still left the message ***LOCKED***

Completely baffled, any idea what might be going wrong? (Also formatted everything and tried again but no such luck)

If you have no sim, then I think the procedure might be different but not sure. Ill find out and let you know.
I didn't know UK sold sim-less phones

No, I have an orange sim, just that I could pop any sim in and it would work if you get me?

So does your phone use a sim or not? What model is it, A510e Marvel or A510c MarvelC? This makes a huge difference.

If it's T-Mobile then it's probably a CDMA device and there isn't a Sense 3.5 port for it

To check, start the phone in hboot (turn off the device, pull the battery for 5 sec., reinsert, hold down volume and press power button). If it says MARVEL then you have a GSM device and can run Sense 3.5.

If it says MARVELC then it's cdma. Check out this thread for your options:

If you follow the guide carefully, there is a minimal chance that you'll brick the phone. And if you do, since your phone is S-ON, it will likely be a recoverable soft brick meaning you can re-flash a stock HTC ROM from recovery.

And what does it say about the bootloader's lock status?

 

[Gareeh]

And what does it say about the bootloader's lock status?

Yep it's coming up with just ***LOCKED***

Quite strange

Tried skipping the step and assumed it had done it but CMD kept saying Waiting for device and the device wasn't found after several tries

Then you've successfully updated your bootloader and need to complete step 3C to unlock it.

Thanks a lot, just didn't want to brick it, cheers!

There should be an HTC Asia RUU. Use that one

 

[Gareeh]

I hate being a pain but CMD is still saying "Waiting for device" after following the steps on HTCdev & the SDK site.

Any help?

If you are sure that sdk tools is properly installed, then check the following:

1. The device is plugged in and turned on (that one was free! )
2. The device is in charge only mode.
3. USB debugging is enabled.
4. HTC Sync is installed (along with the drivers) but isn't running in the system tray or background.

I have HTC Sync & drivers installed by my Phone has always had problems itself syncing. Not sure if that would affect anything, tried reinstalling it etc... but no such luck

scratch that, resolved it myself, will post an update later

edit: where do I make sure the drivers are updated

I feel like such a goon

3. Install the zip file for the script

First I should install the rom then flash the script?

and yep, I am, because I CMD 'sdb drivers' and the Wildfire came up
