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
Hi. I first filled in the online unlatching request form at the end of january. It has been resubmitted three or four times since by o2 themselves, along with at least a dozen calls from me to them, escallation to various managers and departments, and 160 days later, , ,still no unlock code.
I know o2 outsource their unlock code generation (probably to htcunlock.com or some such) and that such pay companies have had trouble in teh past generating codes for some IMEI numbers.
If this is the case, do i have any recourse to get a replacement handset, with an IMEI that can be unlocked? (i doubt it, but gotta ask, , pretty sure the UK has no 'you must provide an unlock code' laws.)
Failing that, anyone know any good phone numbers to contact/harras people that can actually get stuff done at O2?
cheers
Sam
I haven't lived in England for quite some time but the two magic words ("trading standards") always used to get things moving from what I can remember...
Cant say the same for me, i asked O2 for an unlock code on 18th March and one did not arrive inside the 30 days turnaround time they mention. I mailed them on the 23rd April about the lack of code and they told me my IMEI number provided was wrong and id need to provide another, i did and one day layer i had a mail with the proper code.
Check the IMEI provided with them, im sure you already have but for some reason it took me 2 times for them to recognise it even when i know i sent the same IMEI the first time.
EDIT :- forgot to add. yeah its not law for them to provide an unlock code. Had the same issue as you with my iphone, never did recieve one, good job the hackers sorted me out
yea i suspect the issue is with the imei number, , , specifically the fact that it is two digits too long, , , i'm guessing the donkey @ the desk isn't removing the last two digits before running the lookup.
Indeed, and i quoted that to them on the second mail i sent, a day later it was resolved ..
huh, just called them to confirm the imei they are trying to use doesn't have the extra 2 digits, to be told their system is only seeing 15 digits anyway, and the tech basically told me i must be doing something wrong, and that IMEI numbers are only 15 digits, so i can't possibly have an extra two digits at the end.
I'm thinking microwave and replacement is looking like the best option.
I think id take a pic of the hd2 showing the 17 digit number and mail it to them and ask for another donkey to be assigned to the case as he obviously does not have a clue. Confirm to him how hard it is to do something wrong while typing *#06# to get the IMEI ...

Been with them for about 5 years, get all my phones free, even got a £15 credited when they blocked me after my bank screwed up my direct debit.
Even get 15 month contracts instead of 18.
Pretty sure my HD was already unlocked, I was able to use it on Orange.
Haven't checked my HD2 though.
finally, after 5months and two weeks my unlock code finally arrived,,, great 28 day service there, o2, much respect!

Hi everyone
I just spent more than 2 hours to search about how to unsimlock my htc hero. Just found useless stuff about buying code or making "goldcards".
I want to unsimlock it PERMANENTLY and without buying a f**cking 15 or 17 or 20 or 37$ unlock code
I want it to be exactly like a normal phone.
So here's my question : just is that possible? and if so, how?
Thanks

Already done. I flashed the last bootloader, the last recovery (amon RA) and I installed VillainROM 13 but when I start the phone, it asks me a code to unlock the network after I insert my PIN code.
Used unlocking .com for my wife hero bought in UK and locked on orange. 15 bucks and delivered in 12 he's. Was easy

As I said, I want to find a way to do that for FREE
My question is : is there such a way?
There are no free lunches. I have just paid twelve bucks to unlock mine... Let's see if they can get the code :O
I had the same issue with unlocking the T-Mobile G2 Touch (aka HTC Hero G2) and managed to get the code free of charge from T-Mobile.
I wrote to their Subsidy Pin Team, and gave them the Make, Model, IMEI of the phone, along with my name, phone number, email and home address.
Did help though cos I found a post of 3G.co.uk which I referred to in my letter to them.
Worked for me, may work for you....
had the same problem ..I live in Tunisia I cant buy the code even if i wanted sooo .. roting the phone is not enough .. I used goldcard method including downgrading to 1.5 official HTC rom .. then it worked
hope i was helpful
G2 Touch Only
I have a second hand G2 touch and managed to get the unlock code from T-Mobile for free. Some places do it for as little as a tenner but unfortunately you do need a code to unlock it (Even the phone shops do it by entering the code these days I believe).
I m italian and my english is not good
I have buy this phone lock at&t
I have:
Call at&t
send mail at&t
chat at&t
and used this sito for unlock
fastgsm.com
cellunlock.net
and other site no remember
i have buy on two ebay member and always respose:
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I can buy universal sim for this phone o pay 50 dollar for unlock.... i m tired!!
Good morning
I dont know what device you bought, however, I bought mine from ATT (sim locked), and got the code from cellunlock for 19$ (with 50% off coupon), and it worked great. Im from Israel and already changed a cellular carrier, so I know for sure that my Atrix is now sim-free.
here is a link for the unlock site:
http://www.cellunlock.net/Default.asp
Hope it helps
I'd advise you to double check the IMEI before sending it to unlockers. It sounds like you've missed a number.
I bought a used phone,and get the unlock through at&t live chat,It didn't work first time, I refresh the gb rom, enter the unlock code, worked.

Hay man,
Here is a thought- from where you bought your Atrix? was it from a person or directly from ATT? The only possibility I can think of, as you said you double and triple checked the IMEI, is that the person who sold you the Atrix declared it stolen and ATT locked it (I know that in Israel it happens, why not in US as well... ), that is why your IMEI appears to be incorrect...

Hello,
The device that you currently have is not eligible to be unlocked. AT&T is the exclusive carrier of the device and under the existing exclusivity agreement we are unable to provide the device unlock code. In addition, some devices for which AT&T Mobility has exclusive marketing rights are permanently excluded from unlocking obligation.

Weird...
Never heard this kind of stuff....
I don't know what you can do, maybe ask them if it will sometime be possible to unlock it, if not then sell it...
Sorry
Hi,
I have bought a used AT&T and bought a SIM unlock code from ebay from a seller with thousands of sells and 99.9% good rating.
The problem is that the code does not work. When I try to use it I just receive a message "Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful"?
Is there any solution for this or I have nothing to do and the device cannot be unlocked?
Thank you.

Contact seller because
1) you miss typed imei
2) he miss typed it
3) he gave you wrong code
After 5 tries you are stuck and can not unlock

I have checked that the IMEI which he based the unlock code on and it was correct. I am afraid that the guy which sold me the phone tried to unlock it too many times before selling the the phone. Is there any way to confirm it or override the lock and use the code successfully?
Thank you.

Anyone actually had this happen? I've heard rumors of a hardlock, but I've never seen an actual case. If someone has, was there some kind of message that appeared to indicate the hardlock?
well I have the same issue. Bought the phone through ebay, and after 7 days finally came to Croatia and I was so happy cause it doesn't sell in Europe. Then I had to input sim network unlock code which I didn't have, thought it was sim unlock code so after trying couple of times I guess I locked it. I bought the cone over ebay again for 2.30$ (so cheap) from unlock_fusion seller and they sent it to me in 5minutes! Of course the code didn't work, they refunded the money and I was stuck!!!
Now I gave it to service guys and they said that they will do it for 200kn - cca 40$. Now I'm waiting for feedback and if they do make it I will tell you how they did it.
Hope it will be ok because otherwise I have a 300$ toy which does not work.

i heard that if you leave the phone to sit on the "input sim unlock code" screen for a little while, it will reset back and you can put a code in.
i think i heard 30min. sucks but worth a try?

I also heard that it can take up to 8h with that screen on, I left mine during all night but did no good, but the service guy told me that motorola phone counter counts only when the screen is active (there is light on).

RESOLVED!
I fixed my Atrix SIM unlock issue!
Definitely no hard lock. The previous owner tried the unlock code at least 20 times, I tried it another 10. But after flashing the radio through a couple of versions, I was able to get it to finally accept that same code! Wahoo!
