This is a common issue, unfortunately as discussed here:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/windows-phone/f/90/t/1466.aspx
I am not sure if you can even do this when you are locked out this way, but try a hard reset, in this manner:
Start the phone with end key AND Both Voume-Up and Volume-Down Pressed. You should get the uption to hard reset the phone.
If not, and if you do not have HSPL, I think a warranty return is your only other option.

I think hes talking about HSPL... Said it wont even turn on. CORRECTION: HSPL AND radio.
OP, Did you try to install a new Radio on your phone?

yeah ur right
icant turn it on

i tried unlocking with hspl 2 i think.
but now the phone is not turning on

Guessing ur mobile is T-mobile HD2
U dont unlock it using hspl 2... I presume you need the unlock code from t-mobile after u submit your proof of buying (retail purchase).
After it accepts ur sim card (airtel, vodafone, aircel, BSNL etc etc...) then you hspl2 for using custom ROMs which u find in this forum.
I am having t-mobile hd2 and using it for 3 months in India with vodafone. No problems so far.
Good luck

As im in India i cant go back now to usa to get the unlock code.
are there any other means

Just call their Toll free Customer care number and send the proof of purchase via fax
They will send you the code in ur email. There is no other way to unlock it from carrier.
I am staying in India and never visited US for unlocking TMOUS HD2 -- Just FYI

no to get the unlock code . first of all the mobile should power on. to do some thing
so wat shld i do now

[Q] Unlocking a hd2 and then installing android. will this remove the sim unlock?

Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks

Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck

thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?

No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.

quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running

I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone

I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?

Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.

Confused with phone unlocking

Ok, so I've been trying to examine what I've done but i don't know. The problem is, I unlocked my phone to all networks for free, how, I don't know, I only rooted it and installed/restored 3-4 ROM's. I didn't mess with digging on system files etc. I tryed to do this on the same friend's X8 and it didn't work. So, have I burned something or what? Very interesting, huh..
P.S. I buyed it new and it wasn't unlocked.

Are your phone and your friend's phone the same model? If not, that's the answer. Not all phones can be unlocked by flashing a new ROM. For example, my dad's phone worked for that effect. (A ZTE Blade) But my phone (A Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) doesn't work for that effect.
If I helped you, press the "THANKS" button!

Quite interesting.
Gonna try this with my x8.
Well according to other user,the SIM lock is included in the bootloader or the kernel I don't know exactly so something must have happend to them.
Also are you 100% sure that your phone was locked to a single carrier?

i dont think that its possible to unlock a phone through installing custom roms, unless the phone that the custom rom was developed on was unlocked? :S

SIM-lock info is stored in TA. It's hashed.
Baseband/radio reads this info. Radio handles SIM-card. It's hashed too (amss.sin/fota.sin).
Nothing can be done from within Android system to bypass this.

Yes, my friend's phone & mine are exactly the same. We even buyed it in the same store. One guy told me that unlocking with ROM is imposible and that's truth but in the other way he said that I burned radio controller or something like that.
@pandza94 Yes, I'm 100% sure, I tried with another SIM card and it didn't work (when i buyed the phone)

It's bought not buyed.
And this is impossible. You cant burn anything when flashing rom.
Please, stop spamming.

You are not the only one that unlocked x8 on that way.
I bought xperia x8 in tele2 and it was locked. I tryed other operators sim card but it didnt work.
But after flashing rom (instaling custom rom) I got my phone unlocked. Dont know how I do it but I do it ( I didnt know that I can do that, I just wanted to install custom rom)

@r4z0ry I bought it in bonbon option, but they have same delivery as tele2. I'm not so smart about android developing etc. but maybe ROM can acces those amss.sin/fota.sin files and unlock them? Sorry if I asked a stupid question

I dont know
I just bought form tele2 and I tryed to insert bonbon (tmobile) sim card but it wasnt accepted, but after rooting (or rooting and flashing) I tryed to insert bonbon sim and it worked, so I know that I unlocked x8 but dont know how

Can't tell by your signature where you are located but if you are in America, you can contact T-Mobile online, give them the IMEI number to your phone, then they will send you in a couple of days, the instructions and unlock code for your phone.

Get unlock code from provider or buy one online.

Easy!
No need any unlock code! just hack your HSPL, and flash a new radio, your phone will automatically unlock!

Android is not native to HD2 so I'm sure it is ALREADY unlocked

You're both incorrect here, unlocking usually refers to a sim unlock, therefore flashing a new ROM will have no effect on unlocking the phone. As the people above you said, you have to buy an unlock code, input the new sim then enter the unlock code (or something along those lines, haven't done it before).
Also, why bother reopening an old, solved thread simply to post an answer to a question which has already been answered? If you're trying to get 10 posts, do it on the newer threads, not the ones from early 2011.

HD2 Carrier Unlock

Hello,
Would somebody advise if the HSPL 2.08 unlocks the HD2 to use with different carrier? Long time ago I unlocked my T-Mobile HD to be used with custom ROMs. Today I switched service from T-Mobile to AT&T and found HD2 asking me for unlock PIN. I thought the phone was carrier unlocked with HSPL.
Is there a way to get the unlock pin for the phone for free,besides calling T-Mobile?
Thanks

No!
HSPL only unlocks it to be flashed to another ROM.
In your case you need a sim/network unlock code.
If you have a contract with TMobile you should ask them an unlock code, otherwise you should buy one on-line(ebay or whatever).

That's what I figured. Thanks for clarification.

what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network

Could be a few things.
But some questions first.
1) Are you on Winmo or Android or WP7?
2) Are you 100% sure your SIM card is in the phone correctly?

I am on Winmo also have tried using wp7 and android but no luck
