I unlocked my XDAIIs this morning via this service, it went as smoothly as a knife through butter.
Give it a go it's only £20, and will save you all the endless phonecalls with your provider.

Guys, I am trying this on an MDA3 form T-Mobile UK and can not even get into the serial boot screen :-(
Any tips what order to hold down the buttons?
Kev

Great news!
When will this tool be available to us (people who not a member PLUS of MODACO)? How is the guarantee?
Thank you anyway for a light at the end of tunel!

umm... isnt it ugly to charge for it?
the unlock for xda1/2 was for free, now your trying to make money off unlocking the phone - like the providers?

ORANGE SPV M600 - Need help unlocking

Hi all
New to the forum, i dont actually have my SPV yet will be getting it probably next week, just want to find out all i can, but initially i`d like to know how to unlock it.
I will be using my t-mobile PAYG sim after it`s unlocked, also is it worth getting any UL software from eBay? I feel the answer is probably no!
I couldnt find anything specific to the unlocking of the SPV M600, hence the post..
Hope you can help, great forum also!
Maracas

I took the easy, although not free route of using http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
Cost £20 but did the job perfectly without having to mess around flashing other ROM's onto the device.

Great thanks ...

ill 2nd that option
i tried various routes.. lots of hassles.. eventually gave up and use this method. it was instant. literally 5 minutes was all it took

htc herald unlock solution

is there any solution to unlock htc herald
thx

I was looking for one all over the web. Didn't find any. Dozens of unlock utility available for wizard, hermes, universal and many others but no herald. http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php can do this, but it's not free, that really sucks

I did it this way and it worked even under vista.

If you have a T-mobile wing, you can buy a unlock code for it on ebay ( cost 34$ ( 4$ cheaper from imei-check and without any knoleged , cable or download software at all )
but it only support T-mobile USA Wing ( HTC Herald speacial made for t-mobile )

I unlocked it with imei.check
BUT!!!!!!!!!!
After flashing a cooked rom - my herald is bricked. I get the "Vender-ID error" even after CID-unlock.
AHHHH.
SO imei.check - sucks

Hi guys!
1st Thank you very very much for the good work about our PDA.
I am new owner of a beautyfull Herald but it is network locked. I don't want to registare to imeicheck (for obvious reason) and I really hope that you will not forget to cook a special rom to SIM Unlock the Herald PDA.
I will stay tuned for happy news!!!

Unlocking works, it looks like they use the same unlocking code used on other htc device, just preformed from there servers. really efficient! It cost me $40 us dollars though. Am i hearing this doesnt Super CID the phone though.

I currently have an unlocked herald I use with t mobile. BUT .. I know for sure if you're a tmobile consistent customer for several months, you can request an unlock code and they will send it 2 you via email within 24 hours. I did that once, told them I was going over seas and plan to use a pre paid sim card. No questions asked, they sent me the code with instructions to unlock my phone. I believe you can also request an unlock with Cingular as well, but read somewhere they will try to give question you to death, but you'll get one. hope this helps.

I believe this is only for unlocking the SIM, but unlocking the CID is something very different!

thats the cheapest so far ... unless you ask your carrier for the sim unlock code. I know in US your carrier has to give it to you after 3 months of service don't know about UK regulations.

Only here they are alllowed to charge you for it, 20 pounds for orange unlock code but thats not even posssible as the phone is only a month old in the UK I think

aah that sucks ... sorry .. That was a suggestion for op as he didn't want to pay the 50 (wait it out another 2 months ).

UK providers
UK phone providers Orange - will ask for the full value of the contract to unlock it - ie if you have 12 months left at £30 then £360 for the code + unlock fee £20 quidish.
Not sure about T-Mo - but i believe at the end of the contract they will give it for free, but dont say your going to another network, as they'll charge you for the privilidge.
Been there done that... htccode.com appear to be the cheapest at present at £15.
Reviews of service appear to be very positive!

Found this Forum whilst looking for quick way to unlock HTC Touch HD - follwed this recommendation and it's unlocked From sending Paypal payment to getting code took about 5 mins - made contact via MSN and they are really good - if anyone is going to do this, saves asking them the same question as I did - when you enter the unlock code it'll say it's accepted but will then say it's locked again - enter the code once more - that'll do it

What's funny, I bought my HD at Bouygues Telecom in Paris. They claimed it's locked to them. Once I came to the hotel and inserted my SIM card - it worked with no problems. They lied! Actually, I think the same thing was at Fnac. They had two versions of the phone - locked to one of French providers for EUR 589 and unlocked for EUR 699. I guess it was the same phone. I bought my one for 549, flashed to WWE and it works like a charm!

its illegal
In france, its against the law to sell phones that are locked

yes yes anyone can google but half of these sites are dodgy. Why do you think I posted here.

i ordered an unlock code from the web said 5 to 30 mins, that was 5 hours ago !! im still waiting........ i will let you know if and when it comes through.
first handset i think o2 have locked.
is there no such thing as an imei unlock code generator ?? how do all these websites do it ??
if anyone can unlock my HD2 quicker i will pay for it !

Second in the google results is leo.unlock-now.com
I purchased the unlock code for my Touch HD (was locked on Orange) from blackstone.unlock-now.com

Did you ask o2 for it?
also can you name and shame the company you have just paid money to (and amount paid)

Yes i did ask O2 for it they said it would be upto 28 days... and would cost me 15.00 pounds.
i paid 17.99 on MOBILEUNLOCKED.COM for a 5-30 mins service which i thought was worth the extra few pounds.
digging around a bit there are a few websites this guy runs (the contact info in it is the same) and the e-mails come from mobileunlocked.com

If they clearly sold you a phone without simlock, they must provide a device without simlock, it is as simple as that. If they are not willing to change it fast, I would give it back and get it somewhere else.
If they are customer friendly, they usually do have ways and solutions. A Samsung phone I had was unlocked in a service center within 10 minutes, my Xperia took the same way. I actually never "buy" phones through contractual down payments...

will let you guys know how I get on with leo.unlock-now.com

may well be right ! can't remember that far back !
What get gets me is that people quote a few minutes to unlock but then they do not getting back to you.
If i had an e-mail saying sorry it will be 24 - 48 hours then, at least i would know. (sorry to moan !)

i've used leo.unlock-now.com as well, but put in the HD2 first rather than the HD2 T8585 (Which is the O2 one). Haven't heard back yet, but have sent an email to state what I did wrong. I'll let you know too!

mine is a T8585 as I have an o2 one.
also - can anyone with an o2 one find the screen allignment option? looks like o2 have basterdised the os a bit too much.

It's under settings>advanced>display but pointless as you don't have a stylus.

thank you - needed to hit All settings.

Anyone heard from their respective websites yet? I really doubt that a website will be able to unlock it over the insternet in "a few hours" when a phone provider has to send the information off to htc to get it done.
I have had bad experiences in the past trying to unlock sonys and nokias (not mine) and wouldnt use one again. Im sure there are very reliable sites out there but the ones I used which I researched before using just took my money then kept it for 2 days before saying that my phone couldnt be unlocked.
Freaky LOL
