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

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

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....
I logged in today and was surprised to see these three new threads about this already well known topic. So I'm going to try to put an end to this by merging all of the "Help me unlock my MyTouch" topics into this one thread and stickie it so that I can just move future posts directly to the trash. So be warned, any future posts regarding SIM unlocking WILL be removed!
The very first rule of the XDA-Developers forum is to search before posting.
So I figure that if this is stickied then there really isn't any excuse whatsoever.
While I'm doing all of this I want to clearify something for all of those that are interested in unlocking their MyTouch.
Currently (as of July 2010) there is no solution for unlocking your MyTouch without first acquiring the Subsidy key for your device.
There are no hardware hacks, software installations or anything like that.
You really only have four options.
Contact your carrier and request it. Most carriers have minimum requirements to be met before requesting. Check with your carrier for additional information.
Use of third party services (go ahead post your success in this thread).
Use of an overlay card. (I have not personally verified this method)
Purchase the device already unlocked.
If you have a successful result then post it in this thread and I'll update this post accordingly.
Please note that myself, other members or the XDA-Developers do not take responsiblity for failed efforts, damage to your device, money wasted or anything else that might make you upset.
Any new posts regarding anything already discussed in this topic will be subject to deletion without warning!
As stated above, I merged three three new topics and moved them to this thread.
I have tried several service and got a code that did not work. (another gave me another set and still didnt work). All had to go the the htc master database to get the code
The phone works on t-mobile but i want to use it in all countries.
And way to unlock the phone?

Hi All,
I had used the search and found out that all the questions regrading Tmobile HTC mytouch sim unlock were refferd to pay-sites.
Is this true? did non of the forum members das an answer?
and if so, What is the most reliable site for this ?
I got a TMobile htc Mytouch 3g and I can not use it.
(I noticed that other members had said that all TMobile's MyTouch are sim free, well mine is not).
Please help.

You could use something like a TurboSIM. It's a small film-like device that goes between the SIM card and the reader in your phone, forcing your phone to accept it. I don't know if all/any work on android/sapphire so you'd need to get a second opinion before ordering.
The only HTC Sapphires that come unlocked are the 'Google ION'/ADP2 devices, so yes you'll need to buy an unlock code. If you've been with tmo for more than 3 months phone them and say you're going out of the country, they should give you the code. If you're looking for a reputable company for unlock codes, go on eBay, that way you know the testimonials and feedback is real.
I've used SIM unlock services from ebay. Cost about $10 and was fairly painless. Had to try a few different sellers since the others couldn't find the code. HTC master key had to be used in order to get the code for mine, that's why they charged $10 instead of the usual $2-3.
Even at $10, I found it to be a lot cheaper and effective than other website prices.

3G will probably not work for another carrier if that's what you're asking.
If you are no longer a T-Mo subscriber then they will probably not give you the key.
You submit the imei to the unlock service (carrier or whoever) and they use that to look up your devices specific unlock key. Takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to get it though.
thanks for the info. sucks that i cant get the code from tmo. i should of gotten it before i told them to cancel my service. ill probably just use this phone for backup or something. i dont feel like i want to part with my first android device lol
root / upgrade locks me back?
I have an HTC Magic from Rogers Canada that I got unlocked as soon as I bought it. I need it unlocked since I am living over 5000 miles away from Canada. Everything is all well and nice now, working on the local carrier 3g and all.
I have been considering rooting the phone or maybe installing an unofficial ROM for a while now, but I never ended up doing it for fear my phone might get locked back to Rogers, rendering it useless for me.
What are the risks of this actually happening? Is the phone unlock a permanent operation, or are there any.types of upgrade or root that could bring the lock back?
Thanks!

Once you unlock the phone for other carriers it stays unlocked regardless of rom.
LOL
Anyway, There was a reason for my posting.
I ended up getting the unlock code from T-mobile and it is the exact number that I got from the unlocking service which did not work in the first place.
So I am wondering if the problem now lies in the fact that I rooted the phone and installed 3rd party rom before I unlocked the phone.

I can only agree. I don't see how that would be possible since the subsidy has nothing to do with the type of spl, radio version or rom.
the unlock code has nothing to be with rom... spl or radio only imei

Sounds like something that I had just said.
Success!!
Website: www.unlock2go.com
Cost: $20 USD
Delivery time: instant (even on a Saturday evening at 8:30pm)
Important note: I selected "T-Mobile" as the carrier, and then MyTouch 3G as the manufacturer, NOT HTC. Not sure if this matters, but thought I'd pass along that info.
Good luck!
Edit: So far we have 2 confirmed success cases. Anyone else that uses it please post up - would be nice to confirm reliability for everyone.
Hey Thanks for the site I used them and received the code less than thirty mins
I can also confirm unlock2go.com works! for Mytouch 3g
Sent them my payment 19-08-2010 at 11:40 pm EST and got the code by 11:50 pm !!!! all I can say is wow, it now recognizes my SIM in Colombia.
Tip: I used promo code unlock30 and got $2 off (paid $18).
Help! now that the phone is unlocked I'm stuck because I've got no data plan, and I can't find the way to go to Wifi, or even make a regular call. All the guides I find assume the phone is already working, but my menu, or home keys don't do nothing I get back to the green robot screen.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
I've got a Motorola Flipout locked to Orange UK. I tried everything to get it unlocked but without success. I tried several unlock code services but their codes all didn't work. Then I bought a X-SIM IV unlock sim-card which is placed between the sim-card and the phone. The phone then didn't ask for an unlock code but I could not register anymore into the network.
Is there any other solution to unlock the phone? Maybe there is a software solution like for the Samsung Galaxy S?

I searched around some for you, and all I found was sites where you'd have to pay about $10 to get a code... not sure if there is any other way right now
I've tried two companies who've both given me the same unlock codes which don't work!! not good! Will report back if I find a solution.

Is there any other solution to unlock the phone? Maybe there is a software solution like for the Samsung Galaxy S?

Glad you posted this, I'm thinking about getting the flipout from orange uk but I want to use my t mobile sim. What have orange said about an unlock code for it?
Orange wants you to be a customer for at least 3 month to get an unlock code from them (see help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/474187).

Wow. 3 months is a long wait. I might have to consider buying a sim free handset.
The unlock code companies on the internet usually get a new database on a regular basis (not sure how regular) to accommodate new handsets it could be worth emailing them to see when a working code may be available.
any luck on finding a service to unlock this phone yet
every site i find seems dodgy

i need to get this unlocked just bought one from orange they gave me £30 discount as i am a payandgo customer already £149,99 with the topup all in.
Ive tried two methods
1) requesting codes (two of) from World-unlock.net
2) taking it to a shop in Coventry (UK)
Neither have worked
Still looking around
has anyone tried direct motorola codes?
Has anyone tried this one yet http://www.foneszone.co.uk/unlock_form/Motorola/Flipout.php

Yes, foneszone.co.uk was the first I tried but the code they sent didn't work.

Snap they just sent me a email saying that they couldnt even find the code so getting a refund. orange are useless they wanted me to wait three months before i can unlock even thogh i have been a loyail customer for many years and the sales person was a stuborn .anker. oh well the search goes on for a working unlock.
Just seen this on ebay gonna give it a try got nothing to loose £2.99
MOD EDIT: Ebay Links
UPDATE this could be the unlocking code we have been looking for still waiting for code but it looks promising and it is a new item on ebay for the flipout they know there is a demand for this phone to be unlocked its cheap enough i will report back as to if it works as soon as i recieve the unlock code.

Hi there,
.. wondering if the ebay link ( unlock solution) you followed worked for your Flipout?
I actually got an ismart sim and carefully filed the chip down to slip into the sim slot but still too big to fit inthere
Can you kindly PM me the ebay link as I cannot follow it from your posting.
Many thanks
firsy sorry mods for posting ebay link should of known better and second it doesnt work motorola dont have the updated codes yet they will let me know when they do and i will let people know here so at the moment there is no way to unlock still.
spotted this unlock solution on the bay Item number: 230552565930
I have one T-Mobile version 8G dell venue pro for 3 weeks (from ebay), but need unlock code to use it in other network. I tried to ask code from dell unlock request code group, but they said cannot provide it since it's a retail version. So I placed order from one ebay seller and then another, but both couldn't get code for me. Then I submitted order in unlockallcellular.com, but they said so after 2 days.
Can anyone help me out of this problem? Where can buy an unlock code by searching in direct DB or cauculating method or software method LIKE fastgsm.com(they said they can only cauculate Samsung Focus). Thank you sooooooo much.

If dell doesn´t provide the unlock key I think you need to take a contract with T-mobile.
Or wait 2 days.

T-mobile kick the bal to Dell.
Anyone can help me?
I assume you want a carrier unlock? IE you use another sim than the one that was provided? If so then...
email [email protected] and say this:
Hi, I am travelling outside the US, and I need an unlock code
My IMEI is: _____________ (your imei)
Thanks!
______________________________
The IMEI is found under your battery. Also make note of the service tag as they will probably want that too.
If your trying to sideload apps, then I hear the Chevron tool works great.
yes, I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.

you might have to call them then... I still havent recieved a response, and meanwhile I already travelled to the UK, so I am phoneless. Cheapest cheap phone here is 20pounds, but Virgin Mobile gave me a free SIM card to try out so I think I will have a friend in the States call them and give em my info so I can get this unlocked promptly. Their mobile support number that you should call would be 1-800-308-3355
Same problem
Hi there
I am having the same problem, did you get this resolved?
Thanks
im having the exact same problem here. even worse, i figured getting the unlock code would be pretty easy so i swapper out the 8gb card for a 32gb sd card which means the warranty us no good anymore and i cant send it back to the ebayer i bought it from.
i got in touch with dell anyway, same thing, its a retail device to contact tmobile.
but its not possible at the moment because i need to know the phone number of the sim card that came with it to sign up to the tmobile website, and i cant find out the number.
so does anybody have an email address for tmobile i could use it would be a great help?

Communicated with Shallow Blue to obtain unlock code for my windows phone and was pleased with the service. Quick and accurate. One code worked first time for a fair fee.
