Hello,
About 4 days ago I re-signed my contract with T-mobile for 1 year in combination with a HTC HD2. However, I was wondering if people get there HTC HD2 from T-mobile. Does anyone know if the device is T-mobile branded ? So are there any logo's on the front & back size of this device? Or is it just software branded?
Greetings,
Mine is from T-Mobile ( UK ) and it has no tmobile logo's at all.. Has a 1 second load up clip when starting the phone and that's it really.. oh and removal of the youtube app for some reason but that can be found online.
You will not be able to install ROM upgrades unless they come from T-mobile or you use HSPL.
But don't let that put you off - HSPL is very easy to install.
You don't have to HSPL to install other ROMs (you could use the Goldcard method or SSPL).
Also, Opera is also rebranded to "Web'n'walk" but that's about it (in addition to previously mentioned stuff).
Oke thanks for the quick answers!. I already had the idea of flashing the phone with hardspl as soon the phone will arrive from day 1 ... Lets hope the NL version won't have logo's on the back of at the front of the device..
I can confirm all of the above. I just unlocked my T-Mobile UK HD2 using HTCGATE.COM they supplied a working (first time) code within 30 minutes.
Funny, I paid HTCGATE for an unock code on 14 Jan. Still nothing even after 2 emails asking what happened.

ps has anyone had any luck with obtaining the unlock code outside of t mobile??
Maybe not what you were after zetex but I flashed the 1.48 ROM over my T Mobile HD2 via the goldcard method.
Result unbranded/unlocked HD2 with all the HTC apps reinstated that T Mobile decided to remove i.e you tube, jetcet printer, co pilot trial
hi
updated just had the second one come back to me with a refund

your could be my saving star..... i will have a look into that
i didnt realise by updating the rom using the goldcard method actually unlocked the phone as welll...
is this true, i dont mind flashing it at all... just want it to work on o2
thanks alot

Your best option would seem is to upgrade your ROM to unbranded 1.48 via goldcard?
That's what I have done from O2 ROM. I'm sure it would work for T Mobile.
I just changed my sim and it doesnt unlock my phone it is still tied to O2 sorry
hi,
i may sound stupid, but are you sure that t-mob uk devices has a netlocked?. i only ask because german t-mob devices arent netlocked at all. the only (stupid) thing t-(in)mobile germany does, was to lock the internet connection. so you can dialin only via them, but that could be fixed by simply using the goldcard method to update to a nice brandingfree rom.
regards mad
hi
so by flashing it using an unbranded rom with a goldcard does not unlock it??
really sorry im all new to this??
thanks alot
Z
hi,
maybe we are talking about different things. but for me unlocking means removing the sim/netlock. so that after unlocking, i can use any sim from any provider i like, to make phonecalls etc..
what happens if you put a simcard from a different provider to your hd2? can you use your phone to call someone? if so your phone is not sim/netlocked anyhow.

Hi, I was wondering the same a Madbird, as I bought a Tmobile HD2 a couple of weeks ago, and was very pleased when i realised it didnt have a tmobile badge on, and when i tried my Virgin sim it worked fine. Maybe I just struck lucky!
Use www.your-unlock.com It's what I used for mine and it worked no trouble, just put your other sim in and turn it on and it will ask you for an unlock code, enter the one that site e-mails you.

just got an email from this company and they have failed to get me unlock code....
not looking very good at the moment.... looks good in the box though...

This works for T-Mobile UK
Try unlockdata.co.uk. They generated a code which I was able to enter into my HD2 to allow all networks..

Hey, I got a T-Mobile UK HD2 also. I have also just submitted my code to Your-Unlock.com. Well after seeing your post I would not expect much. Anyway I did a search and found this guy on E-Bay. Thinking of giving him a try. Has some good reviews also. Check it out let me know what you think. This is what the add says "Unlock HTC HD2 Leo T-Mobile O2 3 UK Code = FAST"
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-HTC-HD...QptZUK_Phones_Software_RL?hash=item1c0e880071
just been to the shops to try unlock but they said none would be available until next 2 weeks.
Anyone with better luck
id be interested to hear from anyomne also as am about to recieve my hd2 from t-mobile on monday - any successful unlock codes, or any successful flashing of the rom to get the hd2 sim unlocked? im assuming i will recieve the phone locked to t-mobile but will update in case it arrives unlocked.
Well I have not found a solution as yet. Tried a guy on ebay but seems he's unable to unlock also. Anyone has any luck unlocking the t-mobile uk hd2 online?
Hi - i wondered if these can be unlocked - ive got an X1 at the moment which has performed brilliantly but id like to move to this phone if i can. Im up for getting one off of ebay but most are locked to tmobile or o2 of which i belong to neither (im on voda) if they can be then im there...look forward to hearing from anyone that can confirm....
Tar
Comfy
HTC HD2s can be unlocked. Use the SEARCH function before posting.
i did - i couldnt find anything - do you have a link...?
great, oh - and can they be reflashed with a generic rom..? the one im looking at is an o2 branded one so im assuming it will be populated with o2 stuff...or a cooked rom - dont mind which...
well, just pulled the trigger and bought it - should get it on tuesday so here starts my time in this area of the forum.....x1 for sale!
Flashing to stock ROM is not an issue. Just check the sticky in Leo ROM development. The question is if its SIM locked. Then just google for it
hd2 unlocking o2 uk
I am waiting for my unlocking code from o2... 26 more days to go.
My IMEI was refused by three different ebay unlockers as my phone is "very new".
o2 uk hd2 unlocking ideas anyone???
well, it seems somewhere on here is a guide for unlocking (i was told to search for it...) no reply on a link yet....
unlockitnow
unlockitnow.com got me a code for T-Mobile UK in 24 hours if you're in a rush. Unlocked HD2 now.
how much did it cost you....ive still got my X1 which is fine but....its a new toy....etc.etc...
well, it seems from looking through the various posts o2 are the more difficult to unlock....we do use o2 at work for our phones and blackberry's - so im going to mail our account manager and see if i can pull a favour....although ill keep looking around....
a little more info - the bloke that i bought mine off of on ebay was already one step ahead. Apparently on o2 at least there's a free service - if youre the original owner you can fill out a form and theyll unlock it for free although he has to wait 28days max for the code....if all else fails thats a start...
sorry - just cutting through everything - once my phone is unlocked can i just flash it with a stock rom straight from HTC??? - theres a new one on their site, and i did read about it in the news also - sorts out lots of problems apparently...
Not really, superCID means that you can use any sim card from any provider.
It needs USPL or HSPL to be able to install any rom.
Btw, it p***es me off that we need to pay so much for unlocking a phone...
a bit more info would be helpful - tried it?
That's the HSPL for the Blackstone. It's not created to work on our HD2.
I download the file. It's signed by Olipro !!!!!! Why there isn't a thread till now for HardSPL? Have you tested it?
Thank's for your answer
ah - thought it was too good to be true....at this point it would just be nice to reflash with the standard htc rom

Hi Guys
Looking for a little help here
I've had some trouble with my HD2 (broke the screen on 1st, insurance coughed up a new beast, which had some issues with software. they've sent me another)
The 1st two were WWE models and running 1.66, the 3rd I have updated to 1.72 via the HTC site using the Vodafone ROM. the site wouldn't let me have the WWE.
I use 2 sims and switch 2 or 3 times per day, one is orange PAYG one is Vodafone Contract. When switching and rebooting the phone would set the Data connection appropriately with a screen asking me which network I wanted to connect to, Data wise
This 3rd phone isn't locked to voda but does have the voda splash screen on boot up and the phone itself works fine with either sims. however when I install the orange sim it won't connect to data.
is this to do with it being essentially a vodafone phone. can I do owt to sort this out?
Thanks Guys
I have bought htc touch 3g from uk , it was on contrat and i had paid the total amount but didnt receive the unlock code from orange. I need to use it in india.
is there any way/software i can use it to unlock it.Cant pay any money - have already paid £187 for it.|Please help.
Hello,
Unfortunately AFAIK, the only way to unlock an Orange HTC Jade is by paying for it through Olipro. Follow the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555354
Assuming yours is a Jade 110 64M SPL 1.71, flashing a new ROM too will be a bit of a challenge. I have just received one and it ain't as easy as my old Vario.
Good luck
After days of searching, (including today) I finally Hard SPL'ed my Orange Jade 110 1.17 following the instructions on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616407
That little tip of unplugging and plugging the cable back in is invaluable. Thanks fedrat and zannyuk.
Hi all,
I've got a Vodafone UK, Desire HD, rooted and running mike1986's Android Revolution 6.3.1.
I've been tried several tools to sim unlock my phone but doesn't seem to work as I keep getting an error / not connected message.
Anyway, I took the phone to a shop who charged me £10 to unlock, but when I got home, I put my wife's Orange sim (her work phone) in but couldn't get a network - the phone didn't even ask for a PIN.
Question is:
How do I find out whether the phone is unlocked?
I'm moving to USA soon. Will I be able to use the phone on their national services?
It seems they didn't properly remove the SIMlock in the shop. I suggest you go back.
//Edit: Or the SIM wasn't seated properly as it didn't ask for the PIN.
And I'm not sure if you can use it over there, since the USA uses whole different frequencies and networkmodes.
If the phone is soff, you are simunlocked. I've yet to see an soff device that wasn't. But one thing to take note is that not all sim/carriers play nice with unlocked phones.
For example on my previous phone my sisters sim, wouldn't work but my brothers would.(both on tmo). On xda I've seen a few people have issues with orange Sims, if possible maybe try a different sim. I also saw that their is a way to check with a few commands ,ill see if I van find them but its been a while
As too will it work in the us, yes but as alluded above we use different frequencies for 3g. So you will be stuck on edge(2g) if you decide to use the phone
EDIT-found the link Gene Poole posted about verifying simunlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#3._.28OPTIONAL.29_Verify_you_did_it_right
Thanks for that. The phone wasn't S-OFF so I presume the shop didn't do it properly.
This morning I had another go with using the one click tool, but this time I downgraded to the 1.32.405.6 WWE stock ROM from mike1986 Android Revolution before I did again - it seems to have worked and I am now S-OFF / Sim unlocked.
...get your tenner back mate... shop's a rip-off if they could not even do it properly! >_< lol!
Good Luck
EDIT: 100th post FTW! w00t! >_<
