I did some searching and was unable to find the answer, so here is my question.
Is there an xda-devs created program that either tells you the sim unlock code or one that patches the firmware like there is with others?
Not hat im aware of, I looked for a few days, found one program which in the info said it COULD brick your phone lol! So unlockcellphone.com got me the code for 19.99
haha yeah I saw a few of those. I figured I would just have to either pay or wait for Tmo to get back to me with the code.
T-Mobile didnt want to give it to me, They said they only offer it if im out of the states longer than 7 days lol. I told them I was vacationing in Jamaica for 5 days, so dont make your excuse any less than 7!
Anyone got this with instructions since many websites are selling it!
Can you help me unlock (CID and SIM) my Touch HD?
Thank you for you advice in advance.
unfortunately not yet free,you are going to have to dish out some dosh to line XDA's wallet
I recently bought an Orange Touch HD and am on O2.
Someone is selling unlock codes on eBay for £16 or best offer. I offered £12 and got a counter offer of £14 which I accepted.
All you do is insert a SIM for a network which is locked, and the HD will ask you for an unlock code.
Pop in your 8 digit code (I had to type it in twice) and the device is unlocked. SIMPLE!
I ended up using HTCCODE ,recommended by an xda senior member ,it was a great service and I got the code in less 5mins.I think I paid 16 pounds.
i UNLOCKED MY ORANGE htc touch hd , the day I got the phone last week! got the code from htccodes , paid 18euros which is nearly £18! the pound has really got weak .
put a old contract t-mobile sim in the phones entered the unlock code , twice , you shouldn't enter it more than twice as it could mess up! was unloced quickly and easily .
Now I have installed software on it , al i need is sat nav prog , any1 know which is the best , and works well with the touch hd.

this isn't the iphone you know, it doesn't need unlocking before you can install programs on it
i also used htc codes. excellent service via msn, answered me at 730 in the morning and had my phone unlocked within ten minutes!
I used http://www.unlock-now.com/, as I did before with my Elf, and have always had exceptional service. Entirely recommended.

The code is IMEI related. The codefor one phone will not unlock another.

IMEI number problem...
Hi, sorry to reopen an old thread but i didn't think adding yet another unlock thread would be any better!
I'm just out of contract with Orange UK and will be moving to O2, well actually GiffGaff now since i've just discovered it but that's beside the point!
Anyway, obviously i need to unlock my phone first, however, i see this is done by using your IMEI and buying a code but I'm not sure which IMEI is the right one.
I've had the phone repaired 2/3 times and each time i've had a letter saying the IMEI has changed but when i dial *#06# i get one number, but the most recent number listed after it's repair doesn't match, neither do any of the old ones including the one behind the battery and on my original box.
I don't want to brick the phone by using the wrong one!
I even had trouble when i phoned HTC ages ago for one of the repairs, none of the IMEIs were recognised or something.
Any advice?
Hi, so i eventually noticed i was being a bit stupid and my IMEI after *#06# IS the same as the one behind the battery, but with 01 added at the end!
So i ordered an unlock code from an ebay seller and was told;
"Unfortunately we have not been able to calculate the code for your imei as your phone has the latest security and can not be unlocked using this service. we have sent you a mutual agreement not to carry out transaction. Please agree to it and we will issue full refund. If you still wish to Unlock your phone please have a look at this Item number: 110559753460"
The other item is just a more expensive unlock for newer devices i think, no response yet on whether they can get me a code at all if i were to buy the other item.
So, OK, maybe i should have used the unlock site mentioned somewhere on here but i tried to save some cash, sue me
Anyway, is the seller just talking cr*p or could the repairs and IMEI changes have caused my phone to have different security or something?!
I know i've not contributed to the forum a lot or anything but i'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
thanks vijay555, just done the same, well worth £15.00
hi.
After some weeks of struggle i finally unlocked my HD2 from Orange Romania.
I still don't know if the online sites that sell unlock code and provided wrong code used a generator or got it from some htc database but in both cases something is different from other HD2.
Conclusion:
Some sites and some unlockers suggested/said that Orange Romania may had changed the code so normal HTC codes don't work.
If you have a HD2 locked to Orange RO your best bet is a phone shop who provide unlocking services.
Journey this far:
- i think that code can be entered 5 times, each time increase wait time. i still need more info on it so if you can help don't be shy.
- ebay code for £6.9 - wasted attempt, try 1st time as is cheap but make sure you video it. you may get garbage code instead of refund.
- htccode.com - PM 3 times ferraripassion and got a wild goose link to htc desire forum , left a support question - no answer. they may be out of business.
- unlock-now.com for €25 - no code got refund in couple of hours, worth a try.
- unlockallcellular.com - $34.95(~€27) i think they are USA based so i had to wait because time difference. got same wrong code again. good live support tho i expected more details on why it does not work after long talk and mails i sent. also their page on t8585 suggests that a rom update will wipe attempts count. it does not.
- local unlock shop - ~€20 finally unlocked - used a box to get right code, code completely different from one provided by online.

hi.
please don't tell me that was discussed before, i know i read a lot on the topic but to no help.
i got a great 2nd hand hd2 that is 1mo old not to be under contract with orange and i expected to be as easy task to unlock it as was with tg01. i was so wrong.
i bought unlock code from ebay seller cellunlockland but didn't work, he was fair and redounded my money but also told me that i probably only have 10 tries. i wasted 2 on his code
another member here said that too new and my IMEI is in a new database and i have to pay ~50USD for it witch i think is a too much.
i hope someone can help and provide a good code seller that will work guarantee and with decent pricing (in tg01 is vitamise witch for £11 never failed).
i also hope that someone can tell me how many code input tries i have and what happens after that. i read couple of days that someone got in trouble for trying to many times but can't find more info on it.
thanks

unlock-now.com
Ive mentioned then in at least 3 threads.
But you would have known that if you had used the search!
this post implies that there is a 5 try limit to unlock with code. can anyone confirm or infirm that ?
@unlock-now.com i said not to say it was discussed before. if you would have read you would see that not everyone has had success with unlock-now.com
also other said they unlocked with code bought on ebay and look what it got me 2/5 wasted attempts. also their response time seams high an refund time even longer (correct me if i am wrong). also €25 is not exactly cheap compared to £7 witch it costs on eBay.
i would prefer someone active here on forums whom i could PM and tell just old code that did not work. if i have 5 tries now way in hell i am entering that code again just to get it on tape.
if the device is new and manufactured after certain date and in a new database or something then maybe other peoples who have phone from same batch or newer have same problem as me while.we may not find a answer on a thread started on dec 2009.
also i was hopping that someone could tell me if i have to wait for some time. i read that operators only give codes after 3 months into contract or something like that.
what is wrong with having options ? after all is not that why we are here on xda ?
I got mine unlocked on eBay for £6.99 can give you the details if you like

Well my friend you read the posts, digest the information and make your own mind up. Its a free choice so go where your intellect and assessments take you.
Its the way we all learned "the true path" so good luck with your quest.
It worked for me!!!

Surely spending 25 euro (which is then refunded if no code is found), is better than wasting those attempts by 'saving' and going with an eBay option which doesn't work?
Thats like saying you'd rather have a car with no fuel tank than one with, as it'll save you a few quid.
the ebayer seamed honest and refunded me, i think he honestly believed he had a right code.
i was the stupid one because i tried twice because i read on forums that one got it right 2nd try. i thought i was to excited and miss typed it 1st time. with tg01 worked like magic couple of weeks ago and also tg01 doesn't have a try counter. i didn't worried for a moment with hd2 till after.
€25 is not that much but i got a feeling that i will get again a your phone is in new database you need to pay double.
also if i get 44875764 again i would have payed for nothing as will not input that again.
i am in no rush and can wait couple of months for phone to be in regular database, also i am ready to pay €15-25.
is nice to feel free but not when you pay for it a arm and a leg. or to be more explicit i don't need it unlocked but i would like to know it is unlocked.
gave unlock-now.com a try. got a "Code not found" response and a refund in couple of hours.
any other recommendations?

Daaam...
And for me its really vital to unlock it..since I'm moving in couple of weeks..and my phone is still on french orange..and now u got me worry..
Some suggested this http://debloquer.planetemobile.com/debloquer.php?marque=HTC
..its in french..and since u from Belgium..it wont cause a problem..
ahh..sorry..u're not from Belgium..
here, could you give me the details for the unlock for hd2 on ebay? I'm locked to vodafone, ireland, want to go on O2
just search htc hd2 unlock code on ebay.co.uk
if you get a wrong code as i did don't try anymore, you have only 5 attempts.
make sure you record on video the whole operation and imei on back of the phone if it fails.
don't try more then once with ebay codes, i wasted 2 of 5 attempts.
i am still looking for a fair provider to unlock my phone. i think is better to get a "code not found" and a refund then waste 1 (2 if you stupid like me and retry code) attempt on a random code because seller thinks you may not have video it and he got to keep freaking £6.9
tried unlockallcellular.com
got same 44875764 again. 9 hours time difference caused me some frustration but in the end got a refund.
see 1st post for more details.
it seams that my pone is cursed and i am doomed to review every unlock service out there.
any suggestions ?
What country did the phone come from I bought my HD2 from t-mobile in the US and the called customer service and asked them for the unlock code told them I was going to Europe for work and they are emailing it to me haven't tried it yet because I just called yesterday to get it should have it tonight and will let you know if it works
finally unlocked it at a phone shop who provide unlock services.
orange ro seams to have changed htc unlock code.
see 1st post for more details....
sorry if this has been asked bofore, i searched the forum but coudn't find anything related.
i'm from south america and i'm planing to buy a tmobile us hd2 from amazon, and i'll need an unlock code in order to use it in my operator, and for me the simple way is getting the code from ebay. so i just want to know if anybody has managed to get an unlock code from ebay, if so, please tell me wich one did you use, cause there are many sellers ofering one and don't know wich one to trust
Thanks!
anybody???

There are a few online companies that will do it (I think that htc-unlocker.com was one of them. I will double check...)
THIS is another thread right on the front page of this section, discussing a couple of options for purchasing carrier unlocks for the HD2

i'm sure some people will read your thread and it'll help them out! just letting ya know where the information already is; it doesn't hurt to try to help out though.
Yep, this info is nothing new. I don't know about ATT, but this same method didn't help me with my Verizon Droid 2 Global.
I called three times and all of those times they told me I need to be a Verizon customer.
Besides, they have CRM to store customer contacts in the database. If you try to contact them too many times it will show up on their records and they might think you are pulling some kind of a scam.
worked like a charm. was on the phone less than 5 minutes
I just called AT&T in the US and told them I was visiting another country for a few days. If you're a customer in good standing (no unpaid bills), they'll unlock the phone for you.
Still Works, Different Phone Number
I called the phone number that is posted on the original message, and I was told to call customer service.
1-800-331-0500
From there I put in my phone number and option 0 until I talked to someone.
I was given the unlocking code without any problem and was even told the AT&T website to deal with my wife's IPhone
I haven't tried the code yet, just hoping that it will all work out
request
I have one atrix and one sony xperia TL, but not have att account or number. i am in india. are you able to call att on my behalf and get unlock code for my phone

This does not work anymore. AT&T changed and restricted their unlock procedure A LOT. See here.
Update on At&t
At&t will no longer provide the unlock code unless you are a current or former At&t customer in good standing, pledge them your first born yadayadayada. They have previously unlocked devices for me, but even tech support isn't allowed to do it anymore. They will send you to the "unlock request" page.

It also differs from customer rep to customer rep
Some will charge you 50 USD to unlock your phone while others tell you to be on their contract for 90 days+
I got fed up with that so I just bought a sim unlocking code from cellphoneunlock and just got it unlocked
Screw AT&T
