I've already got the sim unlock code. How do you get the unlock screen to come up without another sim card?

SIM Unlock without a SIM
Hi guys I've got the unlock code for my device but problem is I do not have a SIM from a provider other than my own. Is there any way to put in the unlock code without a foreign SIM???
I think that people´s work must be paid, but 38€ for a unlocking code its abuse, but this is just a opinion.
17,50 Euros here : http://sapphire.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-Vodafone-HTC-Magic/
I had test it and all is OK
Hello
I have unlocked my Magic witch was SIM locked to Vodaphone Spain and all i had to do was to put in my Swedish SIM-card and power on the phone to get to a screen there i put in the unlock code. If you have your SIM card pin-protected you maight want to trie to disable the PIN first.
Hope it works out for you!

Borrow a friends sim that uses a different provider. It doesn't have to be foreign, it just has to be another network.

Why can't you get an unlock code from T-Mobile? They gave me an unlock code for mine for free... http://expressunlockcode.com/htc.aspx they say that can unlock it for you.
I don't think flashing a rom unlocks it.
I got my code today. problem solved. thanks
I have the same problem. Every unlock place online says the IMEI returns a "Code Not Found"
I was able to find a guy on ebay that says he can get it even if the IMEI returns "Code Not Found" but it cost me $30
Anyone know what some IMEIs return a Code Not Found error?
Do you just call up tmo support for the unlock code? Are the specific criteria or questions that you need to meet or answer for it?
None of the websites at the moment can provide the unlock code for mytouch 3g.
The phones are new in the market.
All their databases are obsolete.

Can anyone please help me how to Unlock HTC HD2 from T-mobile?
Search ebay for UNIVERSAL UNLOCK UNLOCKED TURBO SIM CARD SAMSUNG NOKIA it worked for me and its under £5 too
You can call T-mobile direct and there will charge you £15.
It's the best and the safest way a guaranteed code, but you have to be with T-Mobile at least more than one month.
Just to add to this thread, you have to use a Windows Mobile ROM to SIM unlock the HD2. This is due to the fact that only Windows Mobile ROMe can access the bootloader, the IPL of bootloader is where the actual sim lock for the device and where the changes will be made on the device. You enter the code into SIM manager to unlock it.
I have just bought a used htc hd2 from t-mobile which has android on it.How to unlock it as it asks for the unlock code when I put a different sim on it?
Just call Tmo.. tell them that you're traveling abroad and need to use your phone with different provider. They will give you the unlock code free of charge. Done that with mine about a year ago. And now those phones are not in their prime anymore, do not think that you'll have any problem unlocking it through Tmo.....
Tester.
If your HD2 is from T-Mobile US and you have a plan with them, just give them a call. It should be free to get the code.
If not there are many places online to get an unlock code. DO NOT pay more than $10 for it though.
EDIT: just noticed this thread is from Feb 2010...

Hi guys
I purchased a t-mobile mytouch 4g outright last week (no contract). When I contacted t-mobile about getting the phone unlocked, they were happy to provide me with an unlock code. The only problem for me is that unlocking the phone requires using a SIM card from other phone provider, something which I dont have access to atm. Is there any way for me to unlock the phone without having to use a SIM card from another provider. Buying a SIM card isnt cheap (eg $25 for AT&T SIM card), and I would like to get the phone unlocked before I head overseas (in case the unlock code doesn't actually work, I won't be able to return the phone to t-mobile without having some difficulties.
The only way you would be able to do that, that I know of would be to root it and do the s off procedure. I think that also will do the sim unlock for you too. Read over the method that uses gfree and visionary. I think it talks a little about the sim unlock and when in the process it occurs.
Maybe you could just go to att and ask them if they have a sim card you can pop in to complete the process.
borrow one if possible, or do the root method. Worked perfectly fine for me doing that method
First of all to correct True if you go that path you van manually do it via Radio S=OFF, since you have the code why go though all of that? Just do as Osu said and barrow any GSM based carriers SIM. This is another example of Android fail as WinMo has simlock.exe as toolkit for this very reason to unlock it without SIM card.

Is this a new process for unlocks from T-Mobile, that you need to have another provider's SIM card? If I recall correctly (dubious) from getting an unlock code for an MDA and an SDAseveral years ago they would just email you the unlock code and you would enter it into the phone.
Related question if I may: Does T-Mobile still give unlock codes to people who purchased a subsidized smartphone (in particular the MyTouch 4G)? I am considering buying three to replace aging original iPhones and a major reason for me sticking with T-Mobile over the years is their unlock policy. Just want to make sure it's not significantly different for smartphones.
Thanks ... Mike

What is their unlock policy?
tmobile's unlock policy is 1 unlock code every 90 days.
If the phone is taken on a contract, I believe the unlock policy is that it can only be done after 90 days. I bought the phone without a contract outright, which is why I was able to get the unlock code within a week (although I had to call them up and argue a little).
With regards to the unlocking itself, from what I understand if the phone is not rooted (I don't wanna do it yet as I'd rather keep the warranty for the time being, at least while Im still in the US), then the only way it can be unlocked is with another carrier's SIM card because that is the only way that you get prompted to enter the code. I have a code available for my phone, it's just getting the damn card so I can actually unlock it.
btw Im currently in a country with no contacts who are with AT&T, so getting their SIM card is easier said than done. It costs 25 bucks to purchase a AT&T SIM, something I would rather not do to get the unlocking procedure done. From what I've experienced At&T is the only major provider aside from t-mobile which still uses SIM cards, and Boost mobile/Sprint cards won't work with regards to unlocking because they use a completely different type of network, so the phone can't even detect their SIM card (I tried a Boost SIM and it didn't work)

I just recently unlocked some of my older T-Mo phones to sell them more easily. They will provide you unlocks for a retail price phone in one week, or a contract subsidized phone in 90 days. You can even request unlocks for phones you no longer use (like my T-Mo Dash I found in a box in the garage).
To "complete" the unlock process you must insert a non-TMo SIM card and the device will prompt you for the code. After entering the code, the phone is unlocked and will remain that way. Borrow a friend's SIM, it's what I ended up doing. Alternatively, if you are just wanting to unlock to resell the phone later, the code is "always valid" for that phone's IMEI and you can just provide the next owner with the code.

You can unlock without rooting using gfree, if getting a SIM is truly an issue just to complete the process. See the gfree thread.
gfree usage:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK

Just run gfree only with -S and that should do the trick and leave the phone still S-ON and unrooted.

Last time I did this it functioned normally aside from no cell service. WiFi and everything else worked fine. No unlock prompts.
Holdup & Genocaust you are right. I found the unlock email from T-Mobile when I last did this in 2007, and yes, you do need to insert a foreign SIM.
holdup, not sure what you mean about only being able to use an AT&T SIM. I know for a fact you can use any UK-based SIM (T-Mobile, O2, Orange, Vodafone, even Tesco). You might look on fleaBay or Craigslist to see if anyone near wherever you are at has one for sale. It doesn't need to have credit on it as far as I recall.
I know that any international gsm Sim will work, but part of the problem is I won't have one until I leave the country, and if the code by some chance doesn't work getting it exchanged or refunded. The At&t sim im referring to is a US sim, not Uk (might have been some confusion there), which t mobile assured me would work. I don't want to buy a sim online right now because I don't have a fixed address for more than a few days at a time (currently doing a tour of the Us).

You could just go to the AT&T store, and do one of the following:
1. Flat out ask them if they could let you borrow an AT&T SIM so you can unlock the phone. BTW, the SIM they lend you does not have to be activated for this to work. It just needs to have a different network ID in it, which it will, because it will either be blank or it will be AT&T's; and in either case it wont match the TMobile network id.
2. Tell the AT&T store rep that you are wanting to bring-in your mytouch into their network (you'll buy service), but that you first want to see how it would behave in their network... And so, could they let you borrow a SIM to "test drive" it in their network... tell them you heard the phone has a radio that is compatible with their 3G frequency and that you want to verify that...
BTW, there is another way to access the unlock screen. It's just that the easiest way to trigger that software is to insert a SIM with a different network ID. Call tmobile or HTC and they may give you the other process. I have done this in the past for other handsets...

It only takes 5 minutes. You don't have any friends or coworkers with a GSM SIM you could borrow? That's how I used to do it for my old dumb phones.
i know it takes 5 mins, but if you bothered to read my post you would read that Im in a foreign country with no contacts, currently working in a hospital. Virtually all doctors I work with have an Iphone or some CDMA phone, haven't come across anyone with AT&T.
Anyway, got the phone unlocked, just went to an AT&T store n pretended to be interested in buying a SIM, then used a sim card they provided to unlock, thanks to everyone for their help
I'm having a dispute with tmousa regarding them locking my phone to their network. I own my phone but put one of their prepaid sim cards in my phone. I guess they thought it was one of their phones and they locked my imei number to their network. Now for over a month I have been trying to get them to provide me with the network sim unlock pin so I can take my phone to another network but they're saying my phone has been modified and they can't find my imei number in their database so my phone is basically a brick now. They claimed they contacted HTC to get the number with no luck. Is there anything that I can possibly do now? Thanks.

IMO you should contact one of the ebay's unlockers and check if your IMEI is unlockable(it is cheap to unlock, about 2-5US$).

Did you give them imei number shown in the phone software (not the back)?
Wow thanks for the eBay tip! Just paid for the code so waiting for it now... I thought this was a different type of lock. I thought the Rom itself (tbd sense) unlocked the phone to other networks but I tried a wipe and re-flash and it was still locked so I should have asked the question sooner. Will post the result.

Also just so you know it was not the sim card you put in it that placed a lock on the device to just use T-Mobile. The lock was on the device from factory, all US cellular providers do this to all devices they sell. It is a effort by the providers to keep you from changing providers so easily. They figure if you have to buy another device to change providers you would not be so willing to change to another provider because it will hit you in the pocket book harder. It is a very under handed practice in my opinion and should not be illegal. We pay for ower devices and should be able to use them how we want and with what ever provider we want. But then again we live in the worlds greatest country right.......what a joke.
I have had an HD2 since they first arrived at T-Mobile. As stated, all phones in the US are carrier locked by default.
It was easy for me to have mine unlocked. I called T-Mobile and told them I would be traveling out of the country. I asked for the unlock, gave them my IMEI, and serial (maybe). That was all it took. I got a text message with the code.
Hii
As the title say, I am wondering if anybody knows a way
to unlock the sim card to use any sim I want to??
So, I bought the phone today from my provider
And of course I can use that sim but I want to add
second sim wich is from different provider and it ask me for network code unlock
Is there a way to unlock it??
Maybe the all in one tool??
Please give me some guide if it is possible..
Couse otherwise I would need to pay a lot of money to unlock it
or use two phones
