I meant a cheap unlocking!
IF you mean free then I dont know but theres a link to 22$ unlocking service, not too much.

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

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.

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
o2 have supplied me the handset locked to the network even though I purchased it out of contract outright.
I know there is no hardspl out there yet but anyone unlocked their HD2 yet?
o2 need to fill out a form and send it to HTC which could take 28 days

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

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!

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.

Hi,
As I said in the title, I would like to unsimlock my HTC HD2 (Orange France).
Can someone tell me where I can do that ?
Thanks
The ONLY public or disclosed way at the moment is by code..There are several posts in this forum regarding "unlock via IMEI", also there are many people advertising on $bay.
Working codes will cost around £15 - £20 (they are £10 wholesale so don't buy a code from $bay that costs £4-99).. Codes are getting turned around in less than a couple of hours now.
i was wondering if olipro is working on a sim unlock or all in one unlock like what he did in the past with other htc phones.
not sure for olipro ... seems very busy.
I've ordered my unlock code here : http://www.unlock-now.com
I will let you know if it works well.
I have some news from http://www.unlock-now.com they didn't find my unsimlock code.
But the service is great because they send me a refund.
Have to try another unsimlock service ...
I tried UnlockItNow.com they came back in 2 days with an email offering a refund or for the same price I'd already paid they could post me an unlock cable? but it will be 7 to 10 days via post? not sure to wait the 7 to 10 days for the cable or get refund and try elsewhere? what would this cable be?
I'm now trying : http://www.htcsimunlock.com
No code at this time.

I'm not sure what is this cable, but I think that it will not help you to unsimlock your phone.
So I get a refund from http://www.htcsimunlock.com since there not able to give me the unlock code too...
Now trying : http://www.unlockallcellular.com ...
http://www.unlockallcellular.com works great !!
I recommend this one !
Be careful to choose HTC HD2 T8585.
unlock sim hd2
Hi
You had try?They give a valid code for HD 2?
http://www.unlockallcellular.com/unlock-code-p-46008.html
thanks for the link, i sent mi IMEI and paid by paypal yesterday night, i received the code this morning for 11,95$ as orange asked me like 80 $.
my HTC HD2 was locked by orange FRA, and now it's unlocked with the code they sent to me.
chose the HTC HD2 T8585, wait for the code, then enter another simcard from new provider, enter the pin code of the simcard then it asks to enter the unlock code, and use the one unlockallcellular.com sent to you.
it works 100%, no problem.

You need a hardware dongle to use that software so unless you have one then no it does not work.
I am searching for a method to unlock the x10 but i can cat the right method.
For the unbrand method ( by flash another firmware ) i cant find the dutch rom.
At the other program i must by credits over a paypall acount but i dont have paypall and the unlock must be done as soon as possible.
So what is the best and the fastest way to unlock the x10i branded from HI in holland?
( sorry for my bad english but as you can see i am from holland )
You can unbrand it.
Unbranded dutch rom can be found here
But you should know that unbranding your device doesn't unlock it. So you still won't be able to use non-Hi/KPN sim-cards.
If you do want to unlock you can buy the unlock code from Hi, but that'll cost you €68,- i believe.
I used unlocking.com and paid £19.99 and got my unlock code in approx 24hrs and it worked fine...

I thought unbranding remove the simlock
I cannot contact HI about it becouse i dont have a HI number. I chance the x10 fore my vivaz pro and not the numbers.
The only way to unlock the x10 is to order a unlock code and wait for a couple of days?

After a week waiting for unlocking.com to get my unlock code, I got nervous and went to htccode.com for it. Surprisingly, this guy did it in 10 minutes, so I really recommend the service in there. A bit pricey (40$), but definitely worth it. Nice support, and really fast. Comparing it to a week of waiting and asking to support service what the hell was going on, it's definitely worth the price.
Regards!
I am trying to get unlock code for my new X10a (Rogers). I tried from ebay and again yesterday from http://www.cellunlocker.net/. Both took about a day each and sent message saying there is no unlock code for my IMEI. Do newer Roger phones take time to get unlock code? I am now worried. The phone is brand new and I opened it. It's clearly Rogers branded.

From which place?
My xperia x10 was locked to orange. I did a lot of research and like so many ppl i placed an order at unlocking com. After waiting for 8-10 days, they replied that the code couldnt be found. Out of options i tried htccode To be true i was a bit afraid by reading lot of bad stuff about htccode. But in the end it worked pretty well. During the whole process i was in touch with the support rep and effectively it took only 5-10 mins to complete the process. I know the price is a bit high 40USD but in my opinion it is worth spending.
PS: The views expressed in this post are of author's only. I am not advertising htccode neither do i have any affiliation with them.

I am not willing to spend over $10 . Anway, the Locked Rogers X10a I have right now is in Black and I really don't like it as much as I like my white X10i. So, ordered an unlocked White X10a this time and will sell my black X10a if I can't get it unlocked in a week or so. If I can get it to unlock I might just use it and give the white X10a to my wife.
is rooting enough?
Elaborate please. Do u want to unlock it so you can use it with any sim?
exactly...
Maybe it already is unlocked. My virgin mobile Legend was unlocked. Try a sim from another carrier and see if you can make a call.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
If you bought it with an offer or a plan from your carrier, it might be locked to that carrier (mine is too).
To answer the question, NO, rooting does not unlock it. You have to purchase an unlock code from your operator (check with them what conditions apply to this) or from Internet (there are a lot of unlocking sites with prices around 10-40 USD for unlock). The procedure is the same...you provide the IMEI and operator/country and they provide the code. Then you insert an unaccepted SIM and enter the code.
After unlocking (one way or another), this is permanent. It is not affected by the ROMs you're flashing
maybe the rebell simcard works.
but regulary you need to request an unlock from vodafone wich is pretty expensive.
thank you all....i'll check it out
I've checked with Vodafone (RO) last Friday for this. The answer was simple. If I want to get it unlocked, it'll cost me 50 EUR inside the contract period (I have a min 2 years contract) or, 10 EUR if it is done after the minimum contract time has gone (that is after 2 years).
To be honest, I just found (searching on this forum) a link to a site that unlocks it for 10 USD...so when I'll need this I'll surely go for it.

Yes, it is much lower in the US where I used to live (usually around €7/$10), and T-Mobile would provide the code for free after 90 days on contract or earlier if you were travelling outside the US. At €50 plus whatever fee is charged to break the contract early, I would think it would be cheaper to just buy a mobile sim-free and unlocked.
I won't need to have SIM free in order to break the contract earlier. I still want to remain with Vodafone...just that when traveling abroad, it might prove to be cheaper if I use a local SIM instead of using mine in roaming.
The guaranty is dead anyway from the moment I've rooted the phone and went for another ROM. I don't think that a SIM unlock code purchased cheaper on Internet will bring any changes to this...so, when I'll need it, for sure I won't give 50 EUR to Vodafone. I could better buy you all beers for the 40 EUR difference and make a good thing, instead of giving that to Vodafone, that anyway doesn't help at all (we don't even have the official update available and no news about it either)
wasnt it htc romania which said that unbranded phones will get the froyo update?
however i think they just unlock the phone the same way vodafone does so it doesnt really matters.
just spend the money on beer and be lucky with your unlocked phone

Don't know that. The update is not yet available neither at HTC nor Vofafone...and I don't care either. Meanwhile I'm enjoying CM RC2...

can some one put a link to a trustful unlocking site?
