Hey guys, please excuse my noobness, I have read thoroughly but I am still confused!
I have an O2 Orbit (ie Artemis) and I am going to the USA soon.
I've become a bit confused as to what I need to do to my Artemis to get it working with a prepay sim in the states.
I've seen the posts about cid unlocking, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a sim unlock, and I don't want to brick my phone!
I'm not too bothered about cooked roms etc, I have updated to WM6 and I'm reasonably happy with it, I just want to be able to use my phone in the USA.
Would someone be kind enough to take the time to explain what I need to do?
Thanks
I forgot to add, I tried this tutorial to perform a sim unlock:

but unfortunately the 'artemis sim unlock' download link is broken
I think it should already work in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only phones bought in the US from a provider are SIM-locked. CID unlocking is only used to help you flash your phone to a different ROM, which, as you already mentioned, you are not interested in doing.
I see, so CID unlocking is nothing to do with what I want, I simply need a SIM unlock, assuming my phone is SIM locked.
SIM locking is normal practice for UK service providers, so I assume it is locked.
Is there any way I can tell if my phone is SIM locked, or do I have to test it by putting a SIM card from a different provider in it?
Hi
Im new to this forum as this is my first post in this forum.
I recently purchased a HTC Hero phone in ebay locked to Orange UK. I still didnt receive the phone yet. and I have a small doubt in unlocking.
I heard that orange users are having issues in unlocking Orange Hero.
Saw that i need to update the firmware to 2.73.61.66 inorder to unlock the HTC Hero.
My doubt is do i need an Orange sim inorder to update the firmware or without a sim will I be able to unlock the phone. because i live in Sri Lanka and i dont have a sprage orange sim.
No no, don't worry, you will be fine to unlock and install custom ROMs without an Orange SIM.

thanks for the reply
but can you mention how to do that without a orange sim?
cz when comes to android im a complete noob and this is my 1st android OS phone.
You dont need any SIM card to be able to flash custom ROMs. And to be able to input a network unlock code you just need a non-orange SIM if the phone is locked to orange.

Does anybody know hd2 usa work for att sim card? I am flashing the spl to use the package 3 provide by cotulla and try to make it works... But ATT sim card just cant use in the hd2 usa....If anybody know about it please post i will be very appreciated thanks a lot
Yes it will work, but you must remove the simlock off the HD2 and you won't have 3G
How do i remove the simlock off the HD2?
Get an unlock code. Either from Tmobile or an online unlock code site.
This has nothing to do with ROM development.
i do have the unlock code from Tmobile USA, when i changed the AT&T Simcard it doesn't popup any thing, please let me know, what may cause that problem can't do the unlock procedure, my two causin had the same phone, they using same AT&T simcard to unlock it....i need some help and feed back...
If you have the tmous hd2 then you will have to flash a rom that doesnt have the preconfigured tmobile settings in it or look around for the connection setup cab for leo, then it will set up your connection for att....using tmous hd2 on att myself.....could flash the rom i released today...runs fine on att....
Hello guys. I want to know if the HTC HD2 will work on the AT&T network without any problems. If i were to unlock the phone do i have to flash the ROM in order to do so or i have to use a website that will unlock it for me?
u are posting in the wrong section but all u have to do is call t mobile if u bought it from them if not then u have to buy the code from a website
so the best way to do it is through online ?
You cant use any other way like flashing a ROM ? Because i want to run it on ATT
Even once you get it unlocked it will still be handicapped with only being able to use Edge and not 3g on AT&T network.
no type of flashing will unlock it only getting the code from t mo or buying one online.
Hello all,
I have a little bit of an issue. I have bought an unlock code for my Hero and when using it, despite the fact that he says "Unlock successful", I still can't join the network and when restarting the phone, he asks me again for the code.
I think it may be because I am running a custom ROM, Elelinux special edition that somewhat the unlock code doesn't take.
Anyone can confirm that it is indeed the case? What is the best ROM to run to unlock and where to find it otherwise?
Cheers,
L
Actually, I have just worked it out. Just needed to flash an old Modaco Rom, unlock and now it works with any rom..
I have a similar problem. I tried to unlock my HTC Hero with a code and it didn't work. The phone has all original firmware and has not been rooted at all. My carrier is Orange Romania and the phone was boght with a subscription so it's locked...
Someone told me that I need to unlock it with a special cable that I do not have...
Sorry for the n00b questions
