I have a couple questions. 1, I got my unlock code from T-Mo today. If I unlocked it just by popping in a cingular sim and entering the code, does that take care of the cid lock as well? Also, will the RUU released be compatible with the Wing? And lastly, forgive me for this as I stopped using my MDA about 9 months ago and have been using a blackberry until I got my wing, but how do I know which version of WM6 I have installed on my phone. I'm guessing that the latest HTC release will most likely be a newer build, hencewhy I am wondering about installing the newer OS (well, that and removing all the extra T-Mo crap and cooking my own rom). Sorry guys, not tryin' to beat a dead horse, just tryin' to get some clarification.

Sim unlock doesnt CID unlock the phone. Not sure which RUU u talkin bout. Regarding the OS version go to Start->Settings->SystemTab->About. Will state the OS version and aku after the build.

lol Thanks. I actually found the "about" the moment after I posted. As for the RUU, I was under the impression that when HTC releases the WM6 upgrade, it'd have a new loader and/or cid unlock the phone. But, you know what they say about assumptions.

HTC HD2: Retrieve the unlocking code

Hi,
I've bought an unlocked HTC HD2 T-Mobile and I'm planning to update the ROM.
And before proceeding I want to retrieve the unlocking code from the phone.
Is there any way?
Regards.

Sorry, you need to be more specific.
What unlocking code are talking about?

Are you worried about it being SIM locked after a ROM flash, is that why you need the code? Are you aware that flashing is independent of the ROM, thus it will not lock again?

Yes... this what I'm afraid of... T-Mobile USA has a new ROM update and I'm worried about SIM locked after the flash.
Thanks for helping.
(and sorry for the delay... some emergencies).

Yes if you unlock with code and upgrade, device will still be unlocked. And if it does relock somehow, just re-enter the code

If a phone is unlocked by the code, it remains unlocked for life... no matter what ever you try to do.... rooting.... modding.... any thing.
So dont worry and just push ahead with modding.

depends on firmware you have and you have diff options
v1.6 & 2.1 can use Rebel sim II with v1.2 for Full Usage but cant yet upgrade to 2.2 unless use dj steve no base band update for 2.2
v2.1 & 2.2 users can user special software from home to read out the unlock code and can upgrade to new Android OS in future

Unlocking a desire hd

I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment

Can't you just unlock it with gfree?

You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going

Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)

Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser

to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.

thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.
