Hi guys! Well, i bought a new HTC magic, but my problem is that im going away from the country for a while and I needed to unlock my phone!
After trying 2 payed sites that offered remote unlocking by IMEI, neither one of them was able to successfuly deliver the Unlocking Code after more than 2 days!
Anyone got an idea about this? Im starting to get really worried...
Thanks in advance...
Try just rooting it & using a rom provided here..
wrong. try using ur default ROM and then doing the unlock
I have my original rom... the problem is, wherever I go, no one can "create"/"deliver"/"found" (call it what you want... lol) a code for my IMEI! its starting to get really annoing...
Thanks for your replys!
Double post... Sorry!

I bought a SDA off ebay a few days ago. It's nice and everything, except it has a simlock (to T-Mobile) and I want to use my O2 sim card on it. Any ideas on how to unlock it? I just need some sort of unlock code I think. Don't want to pay for the unlocking service either.
Use the XDA developers C500 free sim unlock, worked like a charm for my SDA which I bought off ebay a few days ago, same as you
Another way is to flash the rom, I am looking into doing this myself soon as I would like WMP 10.

Sweet thanks for the info but where about is the unlock program?
BTW if you're thinking of upgrading the ROM you should know that MMS and the camera is not available, which is a pain in the ass. Dunno if anyone's managed to fix that problem yet.

It's true! I flashed the Qtek ROM onto my SDA and it's still simlocked! argh...
My apologies for mis-leading there, I should not have persumed the lock would have been removed.
I infact unlocked mine prior to flashing Using the Spv Developers C500 unlock tool, and forgot all about it!
Anyone looking to unlock their device for free, I can strongly recommend this tool.

actually the response is NO for the unlocking via ROM upgrade
x Bluediss ... and we should try to help and educate.
So far as of today the answer is still NO regarding changing the LOCK status by doing a ROM flash to another ROM as the "LOCK" isn't stored in the areas that are changed by a ROM update.
And so far people who are working on a un-lock tool haven't been successful so far.
I guess in a few weeks, there might be one already. A little patience.
Adios.
Sorry, I'm just al little touchy (mine's T-Mobile SIMlocked and I've got Orange )...
There are just too much posts about unlocking the universal.
I know the feeling, and yes, that's what the SEARCH button is for
I just couldnt wait any longer to get past CID lock, so I unlocked at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
(removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
costs: 30,68 euros.
good news: cid unlocked, upgrade to any rom now possible!
accept ,my apologies
youve lost me with jargon
im new to xda
so what is cid??
what was it before 02???
so is it liek a plain normal htc now>>
did you lose any data??
is the gps affected?
CID unlock
Could someone send a file with extension unl, which was normally provided by imei-check to unlock your device.
It may bring a good idea to spl modification.
Thanks in advance.

hi to all
cid unlocking is same with sim unlocking
i am wrong ?
i will pay money but i will work my phone wiht all simcards
thanks for repply
CID unlock is not the same as SIM unlock.
if we talk about imei-check service they do the both.
you can read it here:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
you can use any sim card.
Good job I saw this thread, I was going to do mine tonight!!
I'll wait and be a team-player.

I think if you're able to flash your device with a ROM from HTC, DOPOD or O2... its CID unlocked...

Duhh... wouldn't it be better to find out before trying to flash any ROM? Suppose you think the device is unlocked but actually it isn't, then you might end up with a bricked phone.

CoolGadget,
If I had the original T-mobile Rom then I would've just taken the risk but I don't and that's why I'm a little worried.
I'm still looking for it but it seems like it doesn't exist anywhere!
If anyone can help me out then I'd really appreciate it.
Regards.

T-Mobile ROM
The original T-Mobile ROM is available on T-Mobile website amongst many others. I really dont think there is another way to confirm you have CID-unlocked your set, unless you flash it.
Though the report of many who have used imei-check seems to suggest it gets CID-Unlocked

I allways thought it would be possible by running the mtty program. Wasn't the command Info 2 for getting the status? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I haven't tried it though, because my phone is certainly locked and I don't want to pay for getting it unlocked.
info 2 and info 4 do not work for the Artemis.
Guys thanks for your replys. I've managed to track down the original Tmobile ROM for the MDA 3 (thanks to some guys here). so now I'll be using imei check to unlock it, once done, I'll go ahead and install any ROM other than Tmobile and if it works then I'll know my device is CID unlocked. If it doesnt then I have the Tmobile ROM to fall back on.
Hopefully it will work otherwise I'll be getting in touch with imei check immediately!
Thanks for your help guys.

Dear all,
I simple question to HTC, (1) if they could provide me with an unlock code and (2) if a ROM update with an unlocked phone would void the warranty.... Funnily enough I got this reply... out of point I know.... but it led me to realise something else....Read on ...
Dear Sir
, Thank you for contacting us. In regards to the Rom and unlocking, I can help you with that. The unlocking code will only let you use another sim card in the device for calls and texts, the software on the device will still remain. As the device is branded the original software cannot be removed. If you do a hard reset on the device has been unlocked the code will not work again and phone will be once again locked to the network provider. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, HTC Support

I looked up the internet and did not find sufficient proof that indicates if the above is correct or not.... I guess they are not saying the truth ... So question is this... If the phone requires a hard reset ... and it has HSPL/2 right now on it ... Would this mean that the Sim Lock will be back? And the unlock code which I put in will be no longer valid? Personally I find all this a big load of crap .... Because if the IMEI does not change ... and the code is created via the IMEI ... I don't think it makes sense to say that the "unlock code will not work again and the Phone will be locked". But before I jump to any conclusions, I would like to hear the opinion of the clever guys out there ...
This email was interesting .... I wonder what's up in HTC's customer supports' minds ...
Regards
Al
I guess HTC is only talking and can only talk about default ROMs, not custom roms, if you have hspl your device you will no longer get support from htc.... anyways, HSPL is not the same as sim unlocking your device, check the wiki pages.
I didn't make myself clear that must be it.....

I guess you didn't understand me .... I know that sim unlocking is not the same. The thing that bothered me was whether HTC is saying the truth aka
"Is it true that HARD RESETTING would make you LOSE the sim unlock code and it would never work again? Yes or no?"

Many Thanks again for your answer
once u unlock ur device to be used on another network and u change the radio or rom the device will still continue to be unlocked... i hav 2 devices 1 is the hd the other is the hd2 and both are unlocked and hav different roms and radios
I have a question regarding this too.
I've heard that TMobile US has a separate IMEI number than the one on the device on the back.
Is this true?
Now for unlocking it has been suggested that you get it from T-Mobile. If you don't, it will most likely fail to unlock.
Is that true?
And finally has anyone that unlocked their phone directly from T-Mobile hard- resetted their HD2?
if you bought the hd2 from Tmob "outright"..they will provide the unlock code
I have the Tmob provide code for my hd2, yes it worked and still worked after a hard reset

Thank you for your quick response!
I do have one final one. How long did it take for T-Mobile to get the code for you?

I DID not get my unlock code from T mobile directly. They said its a genuine unlock code ... but i did not attempt a hard reset yet. Is this hoax true????? That if you HARD RESET your phone your UNLOCK code is gone YES OR NO? I seem like i cannot get the message through .... Anyone HARD RESET his phone and got it sim locked again? And anyway it does not make sense to say that the unlock code wont work anymore because the IMEI remains the same ... so this is not really sounding like a true statement from htc .....but i want to hear of somebody who hard reset his phone and got his t mobile unlock code not through t mobile to make sure...... I will ask the people who helped me out with the unlock service and will get back to everyone with a confirmation ....
As for the other guy who said that T mobile have got a separate IMEI .... the answer is NO. They all have ONE IMEI.... the only thing I can confirm to you is that T mobile CHANGES the Unlock codes to a system of their own, hence a genuine htc unlock code WON't work on ANY T mobile flashed device...... and there is no need to get the unlock code from t mobile ... it would take you like 3 months if u ain't got a contract + they will force you to do a contract for a minimum period of 90 days.... a Huge f**k up considering that you might not even be on t mobile or worse still not even in the country . ....
There are good services out there ... mine took exactly 9 hours to get unlocked......from time of payment
Many Thanks
oops.. wrong forum
Yeah, the reply you got made no sense... unlocking the phone out of a preset carrier is relative to the IMEI of that phone and not on the software status installed on there... as if a carrier was able to determine os/version of your phone upon connection and forbid access if they notice (?) you did a hard reset
Please help

Does that mean after u did the hard reset; the phone was locked again and u had to re-enter the unlock code??
I'm asking about that coz i bought my TMOUS HD2 already unlocked but the seller did not provide me with the unlock code!!
Does that mean that i have to buy the code to use it if i hard reset the device???
Plz help!!
no, once unlocked it will stay unlocked.
Glad
Glad to hear that!! No need to spend more money then!!
Thanx mate!!
Hey,
I have recently Got a HTC HD2 Wich is Locked to Tmobile,
Along time ago i was here with some XDA's and over the years have done alot of phone unlocks,
But i have NO idea how to unlock his phone, Im guessing i need to flash the firmware and so on, and Update a Rom.
But i really need your help. Can somebody tell me how this is possible without paying for an Unlock Code.
have to buy a code or get one from your carrier using IMEI number...no other way...use the search function...many threads on this already...
I forot to say, I need it Unlocking to o2, But have no way to get an unlock code . Please help me.
there is no free unlock. youmust buy one. plenty of websites, or on ebay, selling unlock codes.
maybe if he asks a third time, we'll give him the magic unlock code!!!
