Possible to unlock? - Touch HD General

Hello,
Is it possible to unlock this phone? I am currently on Orange with it but would like to use it on o2.
Thanks for your help.

There is no free tool available yet, so you have to pay for an unlock code. Just take a look in the forum, you will find various offers.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't necessarily looking for a free code, i was questioning weather my local phone shops would be able to do it. I will give them a call when i finish work just to make sure.
Thanks.

You don't necessarily need certain software/hardware to get it unlocked.
As long as you are willing to pay and trust the company, you need to provide imei code, model and network and then you will receive the unlock code which can be easily entered to the device without need for any specific applications.

IMEI-Reader ! Help-me !

Hi guys, I need some help !
First of all, I'm Software developer, where I'm working to make an automation for production in my company...
I need some software to read the IMEI and if is possible another informations from HTC phones....but the more important information is read the IMEI numbers, to store in our data-base to control the production !
If any know how to do / where have some software... let-me know !
Thanks in Advance.

Everyone here would love to help you out if you are able to start SIM Unlocking our phones.... so whatever we can help you out with, let us know.
I am not aware of any software that does what you're looking for, but I suggest you look up people in the Kaiser forum who have managed to SIM Unlock their phones in here as well as other phone forums have managed the same.
They may be able to give you the best guidance.
i dont know about software but *#06# tells it to you. tmobile has you do that to give it to them when you ask to unlock your phone. also if anyone needs unlock codes to help with the algorithms i have mine still, but will not post the ieme.
We should organize and find a way to Sim unlock these phones ...
I wonder what we would need ... if we can all get together, but one and send it to Pof or olipro or something... and get them to unlock it... or if we can dump the software off of it for them to look at.. any one have any ideas?

HTC Wildfire Unlock request info

Hi guys i am very new on this subject and i just need some info about unlocking my wildfire.
I read quite a few post but i didn't found something step by step and finally to work.
So basically i just need to unlock my phone from the network(vodafone)so i can use it in other networks.
So what is the best solution:
1.Gold card
2.Unrevoked
3.ROM FLASHING GUIDE FOR NOOBs(if it works).
Thanks and sorry for opening a new thread even if so much information can be found on this site.
A quick walkthrough would be much apreciated for a solution.
Well I have done all the steps you pointed out and I'm still locked to t-mobile so I guess gold card, root and flash is not enough to unlock it but only to debrand your phone.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
You cannot unlock a phone with the code from the provider or unlocker

I typo'd there I meant without. =P
Thanks for your feedback it seems i don't have other choice but this. Except HTCsimUnlock you now other trusty sites so i can get a sim code .
I tried htcsimunlock.com but they said they couldn't unlock it for 20$ what I have paid already,so I should pay them another 20$ and then they maybe can unlock it...I sayd no, they refunded my money. So it wasn't such a good experience for me.
Well as far as i know a lot of ppl are facing problems getting codes from htccodes.com and htcsimunlock.com just for everyone's info..
SIM UNLOCK IS NOT DEBRANDING, ROOTING, GOLDCARD.. Its an entirely different thing so do not confuse these things..and one should use Sim Unlocker / Code generator for the same which is not yet available for wildfire ..
I got one from mobileunlocked.co.uk it wasn't cheap at £23.50 but I couldn't find anyone else who could do it. 3 or 4 dites said they could but I ended up getting refunded
Mine was locked to 3 and I needed Vodafone
If your phone is new, ie manufactured after the month of May, it will cost you more and many sites do not have access to this latest database.
How can you tell the manufacture date? a sticker on the phone?
Any chance of a free unlock code?

Htc wildfire great phone rooted and with psfreeedom great stuff but still locked.
I read some post on the samsung galaxyS and they have a aplication for android and works like this :
Step 1, Get the code:
Install the app below. When you run the app, it will search for the unlock and unfreeze codes on your phone.
After it aquires the codes, they will be saved to your sd card in a text file. You can also write them down or email them to yourself with the email button.
Step 2, Enter code:
Power down the phone
Put in a SIM card from another carrier
Power up the phone When it boots up enter the unlock code when asked
Very simple i really hope that someone can help us with something like this for wildfire.

What application? Below?
Those steps were only a example of how the application works ,the orginal thread you can find here:
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
the app is exclusively for Samsung. Tried it on the wildfire but nothing. will search more deep for a free unlock solution
I am not sure it work, this app specialy for samsung ...
At htcsimunlock.com it states:
MPORTANT – Please read prior to purchasing any codes.
You must first check to see if your phone accepts an unlock code. To do this simply insert a different network sim card into your mobile phone and see if the unlock code screen is displayed. If a screen where you must enter the unlock code is not displayd, or if you don't have this option in your phone menu, please do NOT purchase an unlock code. If you still go ahead and order then we will provide you with the unlock code but you will NOT be able to enter it and you will NOT be eligible for a refund.

My phone doesn't even give me the option to enter the unlock code. Any ideas?
I have been trying to get a handset network unlocked that I bought last week. None of the online services I have tried have been able to provide a code and have therefore refunded me.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Unlocking Desire HD

Hi there,
I found few websites that offer an unlock code, but I just wanted to check it with you guys which service is the most reliable.
My Desire HD is on its way to me, but it will be locked to T-Mobile UK and I will need it unlocked.
Any recommendations? Or perhaps there is a DIY, free way to unlock it?
Thanks
Yep, there is a free way to unlock it. Over in the Dev section there is a tool to Root, S-OFF, Unlocked CID & SimUnlock all in one.
If you dont want to do all that and just unlock the SIM, I have personally used http://www.unlock-now.com/ for my HTC Hero. I had no problems, and I got a code in 15 minutes.
I've just checked and they support the DHD, just make sure you use your Paypal account, "just in case" there are any problems, atleast you'd get your money back.

Thanks a lot for a clear answer
I'll try the "free" way first, otherwise I will go to the site you provided.
Although when you said about money back I'm not sure about this. I bought something once from one of the worldwide websites and something went wrong and when I wanted to get my money back, PP said that they don't support "other" websites than eBay. But it may have changed now.
Thanks for your help anyway I will definitely go for it.
No problem at all.
I can confirm that if you log in to your PayPal account then pay, you should still be covered. I previously tried to buy a unlock code for my Hero from >> www.htccode.com <<, I did not recieve my code and submitted a PayPal dispute. After 21 days or so I got my money back.
I wouldn't recommend that site to anyone, others may have used it and had success. Strangely Google Chrome now flags the site "Malware Detected".
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S which can be easily unlocked by code. A friend want to buy a HTC Desire HD, so we want to know about the unlock as well.
I was looking at the Tool Radio S-Off. I want to know if it's the same as unlocking by code, or I will lost my SimUnlock by restoring the Desire HD?
The tool in the Dev section is very different from a code you would normally buy.
If you or your friend is comfortable and experienced in using the SDK, adb & fastboot then you should have no problems in using this tool.
Make sure you read & re-read any steps before you perform them. I almost bricked my wife's SGS! - Fortunately her's did not have a faulty download/recovery.
I almost broke my SGS many time and I have a faulty device without R&D. Luckily, it can be fixed but I always check its avaibility before every flash.
My friend know nothing about IT in general, that's why I want to know there is a tool which can generate the code like the case of SGS (as I understand, the code is available in the phone itself for the SGS, but it may not be the case for the Desire HD).
I don't know how this tool works, whether it retrieves a stored code or not.
If you've read though the guides and its something you'd want to try both for the experience and an unlocked DHD then I'd be happy to help should you get stuck.

Will I loose unlock when Android will be updated to future firmwares?
No, once you have SimUnlocked your DHD that is it. It will not locked again.

Good
So is this guide good for the first-time-android-user? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
What's missing in this guide for noobs? Things like, at which point should I connect my DHD to the computer? Does all these apps work under win7 64-bit? Or do I have to install any additional software etc etc?
Thanks

[Q] Unlock HTC Touch HD

Good Morning xdadevelopers :fingers-crossed:
I want to know if there is any free way to unlock the HTC Touch HD? I read some posts saying that is possible but reffer one dll file what I can't find because all links are broken.
Someone know some way to unlock it?
Thanks in advance.

For 15$ you can unlock (I think this is the price). Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206
unlock code
Free unlocking services are untrust-able .So,better you can use paid unlocking service.Many unlocking services are available to unlock your HTC touch HD mobile phone.I would recommend the site Simpleunlocking.com here they ask your mobile phone's country from where you bought it and service provider. Then they deliver unlock code to you.

S920L unlocking help

Hello, like several people on this forum, i got the Galaxy Grand Prime S920L variant (Straight Talk/Tracfone).
As you know, only the stock kernel and stock recovery have been posted so far.
I'm willing to donate a little to someone able to provide the files & steps to unlock this device so that it accepts Sim from other companies. So if anyone can help or point me towards the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. :highfive:
Just a thought....If your on Straight Talk, call the toll free number (you will NOT have to talk to any real person doing this) transfer your SIM card to the T-Mobile or AT&T card variant and then you should have an Unlocked SM-S920L. Let me know if this helps.
That won't work.
Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I need proper unlocking though because i need to be able to use a mexican company sim (such as Telcel or Movistar). So if any developer out there is reading, im still willing to donate a little to anyone who can help me unlock this phone. Cheers!
you cant simply just unlock the sim card with a nsap of your fingers, and honestly, straight talkj is pretty strict about it... you ll have to look at the unlocking policy located on the bottom of their website..
must have phone on service for 12 months or more
must not been filed as lost or stolen
etc
etc
etc
whatever it says...
I know we cant just unlock with a finger snap, that's why we are here on XDADevelopers. We also know about their terms & conditions, but again, thats why im requesting the useful help of of XDADevelopers, thank you.
i doubt there would be a way to bypass the carriers systems to unlock the sim card..... it think you would have to hack their databases and allow an unlock on your #
ACTUALLY, there is a way to unlock the device that doesn't go anywhere near hacking a corporate database and is truly closer to a finger snap. It requires the use of dialer codes, service program menu editing and the MSL/SPC code. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific steps, which is why I'm searching this forum today. I hope the writer of this post has found a solution and I apologize profusely for not being able to relay more information. I just had to stop the influx of ignorance in this thread. FYI folks: people come here for answers and information, not for your erroneous assumptions. K?
