I unlocked my XDAIIs this morning via this service, it went as smoothly as a knife through butter.
Give it a go it's only £20, and will save you all the endless phonecalls with your provider.

Guys, I am trying this on an MDA3 form T-Mobile UK and can not even get into the serial boot screen :-(
Any tips what order to hold down the buttons?
Kev

Great news!
When will this tool be available to us (people who not a member PLUS of MODACO)? How is the guarantee?
Thank you anyway for a light at the end of tunel!

umm... isnt it ugly to charge for it?
the unlock for xda1/2 was for free, now your trying to make money off unlocking the phone - like the providers?

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

Unlock HTC G1

Hey,
i need to know how to get rid off my t-mobile simlock? Can anybody tell me how to unlock the g1? Would be very nice
Greetz
Jonas

call tmobile and ask for unlock code, or buy an unlock code

I got an unlock code just today, less than 24 hours after I purchased one from Horizon Wireless. This site is a well known over at blackberryforums.com (where I used to hang out until I got into HTC phones).
I'd post a link to it here, but it says I'm too new of a user.
There is even a discount code of: HOR10 - Gets you 10% off. Hope this helps you out.

You can find them cheaper on ebay. IIRC paid $10 for a T-Mo G1 and $5 for a Rogers.

I bought my G1 off ebay and he got a printout of the directions and the code from T-Mobiles web site somehow. The paper was short, sweet and to the point..Best bet's to call em'.

I used a site (I'm to new to post a link but in Google type in unlock-tmobileg1) and it was worth it. It arrived within minutes. I tried calling t mobile but they said that the original carrier or something had to talk to them.

For all those who can't get a free unlock code from O2

hi all,
It seems like there are a few of you that cannot get free code from O2. I have not tried this option, but got an email from Rebel Sim today. Check it out:
http://dellstreakunlock.com/dell-streak-remote-unlock-code-reader-software.html
It seems like you can get your code from this software.
Like I've said, I have not tried it yet, but for those of you are desperate enough, you can give it a go and then reply us how you go with it.
cheers

I think you should pay for it first and tell the rest of us if it works

Welcome
Unfortunately, a colleague is right, since it is a paid service. A friend took this sim-lock even though it took him about four hours of fun. Of course you can pay extra for help in removing it.
Sorry for my bad english

lol....mine is already unlocked by O2....just trying to tell those who can't get the codes from O2 some extra options

I filled out a form online (o2 website, a link found in modaco) on Sunday and i got the unlock code on Monday morning, within 24 hours.
Very very impressed. worth a try and try again until you get it.

I just could not give them the phone number from the O2 network which has been used before because I bought it on the internet so sure a method will not work. They just need to secure a number that the phone was not stolen. I just bought a license from them because I got bored rebelsim II and wants to have Froyo and confirm that everything works in addition to promoting the cost is 19.99 pounds. I recommend

Got my code on eBay
I tried Rebel software and it sucks. Had to mess with ROM, which is not user friendly unless you know what you are doing. I looked at some unlocking websites and didn't find anything until I went to eBay. Got my code there for $74 and had it 2 days later in my email.

I used the rebel service and it worked! everything ok!

I submitted the web form last night and had my unlock code emailed by o2 at lunchtime today! I honestly thought it wouldn't be thst easy.
I nearly bought the software and licence from rebel sim people ... Glad I didn't now. If you got an o2 locked streak then use the web form

[Q] htc hero custom rom and unlock help?

hi all, ive been lurking this site for ages, and thought this would be a good place to start my first thread.
basically, i bought a second hand htc hero that is locked to 3 UK. its running android 2.1update1. basically, i would like it unlocked and a bonus would be to put another rom on there. i dont see why i should pay £20 odd to get it unlocked if i can do it free.
any advice/tutorials on how to do it? bearing in mind its 3 UK? i didnt know if different unlocks work on different networks on this phone. im a noob with android, i have this and my hd7 (which i love, just wish it werent so restricted lol)
any help would be great, i know this device is getting on a bit but i still think its a great phone and would love to be able to use on o2 uk and tesco uk.
thanks a bunch!
