I'm a new Australian user to XDA. I recently bought outright a HTC HD2 phone from a Telstra provider promising it will work on Optus 3G network. Suprise!!! it doesn't work.
Can anyone show me how to unlock the Telstra use please?

The HD2 from Telstra is unlocked. Mine works with Optus 3G no problems.
What problem are you running into specifically? Does it say "Optus" on your home screen. Can you make phone calls?
I'm running the Telstra HD2 on Optus, although what they [Telstra] did in their ROM was to disable the auto config, the HD2 automatically detects your network from the information from the sim data. It can be done manually, although I couldn't start to tell you how to do that. I flashed a custom ROM to the handset so I wouldn't have to deal with that. So info on manual network config is what you ore looking for!
have a look at these
Hi, also got the HD2 from JB Hifi and used the following to get it onto Optus and to get rid of some of the Telstra bloat.
Installed the 3rd cab from this link and soft reset with the Optus Sim and it will detect the right settings and add all the Optus Internet and Zoo stuff.

I bought my Dodpod about 6 weeks ago in Singapore, put in my Optus 3G Sim and it all worked a treat. Today I tried to change carriers to the new Telstra NEXTG 3 G network and the phone does not recognise the SIM. I have tried the Telstra SIM in my Nokia E61 and it works fine, but the Dodpod will not recognise the sim. And telstr are selling the JasJam as their preferred phone. All Telstra help desk would say is that the Dopod is not guaranteed on their network and to go talk to Dopod. Very helpful. But clearly the issue is with my Dopod as the Nokia works OK. Any clues anybody on what I can do other than going back to Optus?

I would say flash it to another ROM like the Telstra ROM found here:

If your phone is not unlocked yet you can get it unlocked here:

Hi all,
Just got my first WM phone a Dopod 838Pro and looking forward to doing lots with it. But I just put my Virgin Mobile SIM in (Virgin Australia) and the phone says it's connected but says the carrier is Optus ???
I tried doing a manual search for Virgin and it only finds Telstra, Vodafone and Optus. Firstly yes I'm in Virgin coverage as I'm at home and always have a full signal. So my question is do any of the Australian folks on here know how to get this phone to work on Virgin's network please?
I have just got hold of a HTC HD2 that was on the T-Mobile network.
It was supposed to be unlocked but when I turn the device on , I still get the T-Mobile banner
Also, when I go into change the networks, it only lists T-mobile, no Orange listed. Also, 3G option is greyed out!
I currently have an unlocked Touch Diamond 2 with v6.5 on it with no issue and can do all of the above
The HTC HD 2 does seem locked down on the T-Mobile network
Anyone got any advice??? Thanks
unlocking the network wont alter the installed rom in any way. The tmo rom will by default be trying to use the tmo network settings (including the tmo proxy).
Personally i'd try the following
1 - settings - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup
or
2 - do a hard reset and let the phone pick up the connections from your orange sim
or (my personal choice)
3 - flash a non branded rom and let the phone get the settings from your orange sim.
The T-mobile ROM doesn't have the connection settings like the wwe rom.
I think you'll either need to flash the wwe rom or change the connection settings manually.
Does the phone pick up a signal at all? it sounds like it could still be sim locked?

part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked it
Also, when I go into change the networks, it only lists T-mobile, no Orange listed. Also, 3G option is greyed out!
again part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked ita

Confirm.
My workmate had the same problem. Got unlocked HD2 (ex o2) and started using with Vodafone SIM. He couldn`t get 3G working at all (txt and voice working properly). Flashing new ROM helped. 3G working on 1.66 WWE stock and all the cooked ROMs we were dealing with.
After flashing new ROM, put your SIMcard in, and at start you will get a list of about dozen carriers to choose from, pick yours and the phone will download itself all the settings required .

Hi Guys,
I have an unlocked TMo HTS HD2. I have used it in Asia and UK without a problem. But when I came back to Canada, I got problems. I am using TELUS here and Telus doesn't seems to support HTC HD2. I checked this site and used their online tool to check the device compatibility. It shows the HTC HD2 is not compatible with TELUS.
I have tried to find information online about what is the problem and possible solutions. But, I have not came across anything that tells what is the issue. Probably there is something to do with HSPA (telus doesnt support HSPA or so).
So, I thought this will be the best place to know what can be the problem and most importantly possible solutions. I really like HD2 and would really want to use it in Canada.
Thanks.
What about it doesn't work? ALL GSM functions, IE calling, SMS, MMS...or is it just data?
Everything. It won't even catch the signal. I can see the signal bars trying to scan the network but then it stops with an exclamation mark.

i think Telus has the Bands that are present in the Telstra HD2, thats why your not able to use it, were you able to use it before tho?
No. I have never used my HD2 with Telus before. Is there anything like a firmware update or a software based solution to this problem?

I think you need the Telstra HD2, Tmobile ownt function your phone as it doesnt have the required bands by Telus, try a Rodger or a Fido Sim on your phone and see if you get a connection
My guess is that you've got your HD2 setup to ONLY connect to HSPA - and since they don't support that (edge only) it won't connect. Try changing the setting & see if that works...
Hello everyone. I recently moved overseas and I'm new to the GSM market. I purchased a HTC Magic from a friend who says that it's SIM Unlocked. I've been using it in Italy (where I currently am now) with no problems, but soon I will be moving to Turkey. I would really like to know if there is some way to tell if the phone is unlocked before I go to Turkey to make sure I don't have any downtime. If I go to Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Network operators, I can see other local networks, but can't select them because I'm assuming the SIM I have will only work with one provider.
I've done some searching, but didn't see any answers for the Magic specifically.
Anyways, is there anyway to tell if this phone is unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
Put in a sim from a different provider (borrow from a friend?) And if it works then it's unlocked
