Hello all. I got a TMobile Wing from US (I'm from South America), but it's SIM Unlocked.
Anyone knows where can I get a "unlock code key generator" where I can input my IMEI and it gives me my SIM Unlock Code!???
I'm not willing to pay U$ 35!!!!!!!!!, because the phone already cost me a fortune here.
After reading the WIKI, I saw that at this point there's no way (except paying to some obscure website) to unlock the wing.
My points are:
1) How hard can It be to unlock it, because:
1) the website can do that, and I'm pretty sure they're not using the official way.
2) I only need SIM unlock. When I use my SIM card, it asks for an unlock code. I'm assuming that the unlock code is a function of my IMEI number.
If there are code generators for other HTC models, how different the algorithm can be? And, of course, the guys from that website most probably have broke it.
3) I used to crack 68k code long time ago on my Commodore Amiga. Is there any emulator or something? A debugger like softice? Who's working on the unlock code generator? Can I help?
I've been going thru the herald forums for months now, and I have yet to hear of anyone being able to bypass SIM lock on the herald ...
I'm sure if you could figure out how to unlock, it would be much appreciated by the whole community.
i second that.... hope you find a way man... because ive been itching to get my wing working... 35 dollars for a code? that would be too much... some say they can get it from t-mobile for free, you just have to contact them... the problem with our situation (yes i bought mine from ebay also), we do not have a contract with them. i tried it already and they were not willing to help unless i am the subscriber myself asking for the unlocking. i tried contacting the person i bought my phone from but i got no answer.

I was Olipro's tester for his hard-spl, and after it was done, my O2 terra was sim unlocked.
I have no idea how it happened, though
mates any one can help me out to unlock mda on t mobile uk any free soultion plz share ,i flash twice but couldnot unlock the fone this phone really give me hard time ,looking forwerd for soulotion thanx
seriously, people do not search anymore There are a billion threads on SIM Unlocking in this forum (sorry for the exageration ;P) on the first page i already counted 3 without having to scroll or search for a long time... but whatever:
there is NO FREE SOLUTION known, some people have the possibility to unlock this phone, they offer their service (which is also not free) in various threads here and of course you can always pay the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Pay with credit card and you instantly get your unlock code, works fine, tested it myself.
qaziomer:
do you want cid unlock or sim unlock.
what are you trying to do? what is your goal?
regards,

Hello guys,
Does anyone know if the turbo sim will bypass the sim lock on the htc tattoo?
if you have it try it and tell us, but if you don't i would recommend you to unlock it via imei preferable.
Flashing Won't remove CID lock
Hi
I have tried several methods on here to change from my UK Orange branded Tattoo.
I purchased an unlock code, but this was just based on the IMEI from HTC & didn't allow me to use any other sim.
Orange have really butchered the software to stop you using a different network.
I have managed to remove the Orange branding & got back the standard HTC apps.
However the Orange CID (customer ID) still remains & prevents any other sim being used. Even with the HTC software the APN is still greyed out.
Eventually I bought an I-sim2008, a few websites have them but I chose ebay.
With this underneath my sim it bypasses the CID check & allows me to use a different sim card.
Many people have claimed to use the phone with a different sim, but this is the only method I have found to work, I have spent about a week non-stop flashing, I now believe the only way to remove the CID would be on a rooted device with a custom ROM image.
Hope this helps a bit?
Up to now there is no development on the root or rom side, either not many people have the Tattoo or they dont' think it's worth while doing.....
Lets keep our fingers crossed.....

Codes for Orange UK have been a problem. The codes are correct but you need to flash the right rom.
The Italian locked Tattoo's don't have any problem with regard to unlocking.

Thanks for the heads up dude. Have you tried to enter the code after flashing the rom?still no good?Well, Ive seen a good place on the web where I can get a I-smartsim 2008 and its much cheaper than buying the code.

So ferraripassion you assure me that if I flash the ROM, the code will work?
Ive been in touch with htccode and their prices are really good (compared to others on the web) but problem is that they do not have a money back policy in case the code doesnt work. From the various reviews Ive read here and there, I dnt think I should invest in something that might not work when I have the I-smartsim.
On the other hand there is unlock-now, their prices are a bit higher but they assure me a money back in case that their code does not work on my mobile. I think Ill give it a shot. I have nothing to lose, if it works Ill be very happy if it doesnt ill have my money back
Well, thank for your comments guys. Have a merry christmas 2009 and a happy new year 2010
Cheers

It worked for me, bought the code in htccode.com, flashed my device and everything ok.
MiSSigNNo when you enter HBOOt, do you have an option <simlock>?

What would the correct ROM be for one on Orange UK?
I have used the RUU Click HTC WWE 1.67.405.6 WWE release signed NoDriver.rar from their website & am still having problems getting any other sim card to work.
As mentioned in my last post, I have been trying for about a week to get it working.
@yash08: I have this option, but when I tried to use it I got an error about files missing of the mem card?
@jusumgeezer: Am no expert, really and I might be completely wrong on this, but from what ive understood is that tattoo's not from orange uk dont have this <simlock> option, and orange uk does. Might this be why we cant use an imei generated code? Must we unlock this some other way?
By the way, I flashed and bought the code and it does not work neither!
Same as me then, got rid of the orange branded rubbish & got all the HTC stuff back, but still need the i-sim2008 to use another sim card. Otherwise it just gets stuck on the "unlocking Sim Card" screen or the APN is greyed out.
Well on my side I am very satisfied with unlock-now.com service. As soon as I supplied a video proving that the code didnt work, I got a refund without any hassle. Was like a knife in butter . They are very professional, I recommend their service to anyone.
Now I am just waiting for the I-SmartSim 2008 to be delivered. If this can be of any help to anyone, I bought it from here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12167.
Hey guys are there any developments on unlocking Tattoo from Orange UK, it's been more than a week that i got the phone and i still can't use it, it's driving me crazy.
Nobody knows what should flash ROM code to take HTC Tattoo Orange UK?
The only solution is as per the link above, that is how I got my Orange phone to work. It is the only known solution to date even though it is just a workaround and far cheaper than an unlock code.

Code I have already paid. And the phone for sale, it will be difficult to explain why the client needs turbosim.
Hello
Could You tell me please which ROM should i use to unlock this handset? I've got the code...
I've tried:
r2-mcr-tattoo-withadditions-signed.zip
Says "network unlock success" but still not working
and this one:
fyodor-TattooROM_v0.5.3.1.zip
Says "network unlock success" but after this freezed on "Unlocking SIM card" for around 20 mins and I'm still waiting...
Any advices?
Thank You
hi guys,
i just want to know if the i-smartsim is the only thing needed to unlock the device or will i have to buy an unlock code as well?
If i choose this phone, it will be locked on Orange Fr network.
Thanks for your help.
Well the ismartsim is no more needed. If you get the last ROM update from Orange, you will be able to remove the simlock with a imei based code.
And to answer your question, no you dont need to buy a code if you use the ismartsim but as I said you can unblock your phone with the code now.
Ok, thank you.
I've order both the phone and the ismartsim (just in case )
Hi,
Im new in the forum and I havent found any info about unlocking the Tattoo for free, in theory the best way to do it is with the IMEI code, however I havent found any software for doing it for free, I found some for most of the HTC phones but not for Tattoo.
Can anyone help me with this? Is there any other way to unlock it? For free.
Thanks,
Carlos.
I wonder that too. Today I payed HTCGate.com for unlock code and didn't got any response from them, except payment approval
I would also like to know this as i just purchased a tattoo today and it is locked to orange.
I have the same Scenario. I've got an Orange locked Tattoo and everything I've tried so far has been in vain.
What I have managed to do is remove the Orange ROM and flash it with a generic ROM, gets rid of all that orange guff. Unfortunately, doing that alone doesn't unlock the device.
I've also bought one of these iSim super sims. That hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping that it will in the next couple of days. I'll let you know how I get on with that.
Again, this is all a bit new to me, not being in this space before. From what I gather the problem is the Radio element of the ROM. So it's possible to flash the other elements, but there's some additional security around the Radio and that's where the CID check occurs. You may have noticed they've been able to root the tattoo recently and that should in the near future give us the ability to build our own custom ROM and flash the device with that.....I'm really hoping that process will properly unlock the device.......but its not been done yet as far as I can tell.
I think if I had my time again, I'd tell our lass to not buy the tattoo off Ebay and pay £180 from Play.com for an unlocked one. But we are where we are.
1. CID lock and SIM lock are 2 different stuffs
2. Even if you pay for the sim lock it might not work, like for most of us here
3. ISmart Sim 2008 works like a charm to bypass the SIM lock. Here is a link from where i got mine:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12167
4. Lets hope that root allows us to permanently remove the sim lock
I also purchased a SIM unlock 2008 and works great on a Orange Tattoo for now. Apart from the other week pissed up dropped my phone and lost the sim unlock and had to buy another!
any news about free sim unlocking of tattoo? I'm becoming mad cause of this...
Hi have found this link
Encontrei este link:
http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/ri...k-1100-unlock-unbrick-imei-repair-cid-update/
For a fee, some service providers will even give you the unlock code for your phone. There are also third party companies that provide cell phone unlock codes for a fee that ranges from $5 to about $25, depending on the model of phone you have. i will suggest the website TheUnlockSpot.com which is doing good service .....you can approach this website.
Hello,
I am a recently new user to the forum, so first of all Congatulations for the work done here.
I have a little problem,and dont know if this is the right place for someone to help me.
I live in Portugal and I have bought an HD2 trough a cell operator called TMN, I have already made an HardSPL an installed an Android NAND OS.
I tought that trough the HardSPL my HD2 will be unlocked, but it wasnt!!!
When I put a Vodafone card, after putting the sim password it asks me for another code and I dont know what it is.
Can anybody help me?
Best Regards from Portugal,
MPaixao
What you need to do is SIM unlock your phone. You could either try the operator who sold you the phone (it may cost you, but if you don't ask then you will never know if they do it for free) or have a search around this forum for unlocking and find recommendation on folks/sites who will unlock it for you (this will definitely cost you).
Hello,
Thank you for your answer. I have already been talking to the operator, I wont tell here how much he asked to unlock my phone, so that you wont keep the wrong idea of Portugal. But I told him to.......whatever!
I have already searched through this forum and through the web and all I could find were international sites that charge a symbolic fee to provide the code. Most of what Ive read say that these are not thrustable.
I dont care about paying a symbolic fee to a thrustworthy person.
Do you know somebody.
Have an HD2 and not beeing able to use it its kind of bad...
Best Regards from Portugal,
