Has anyone used htccode.com to unlock a U.S. Tmobile HD2?

I logged on to their site and chatted with the live person and asked if the U.S. Tmo HD2 was SIM unlockable. They said yes.
I proceeded to go through the motions. Bought unlock on Paypal. Ran local client. Got rejected saying US/France/Canada can't do the auto method, had to email them for code. Emailed. Heard back in about 20 mins. They said computer was not kicking back a unlock code.
This was about 6 hours ago. Still waiting.
Anyone have any luck with the U.S. HD2 and htccode.com? I'm not criticizing them just stating my experience so far.
If I get a code by tomorrow I'll be happy. Otherwise I would like a refund as Tmobile service in my area is not nearly as good as ATT. So I currently have ATT and was just trying the HD2. So I figured I'd unlock it and pop in my ATT SIM to see if I get better luck on reception. Otherwise I'm gonna have to try the Telstra model. Bigger investment.
And yes I know I won't get 3G on ATT. But as it is I'm not getting any reception whatsoever on Tmo.

Not much help to you, but I went with unlock-now.com. Been about 1.5 days and not a peep from them. I am in the same boat, trying to use it with ATT.

Wish luck for you by the morning. In my experience so far, htccode.com is really good and quick. I used them twice before and got my unlock code for only 10'

I am waiting for any good news from either of you...I want to use att sim

Is it possible to use the phone in india after we get the unlock code from HTC.

If your carrier in India supports the same bands the T-Mobile HD2 does then yes. People like me that are on ATT will be stuck on the 2g/Edge data connections because ATT and T-Mobile don't share the same 3g bands.
All a sim lock does is make only the carriers sim card work on the device.
And for the record still nothing from unlock-now. I wish they would at least reply to my support ticket, I understand it's a new device, but communication is key to a good business.

Let's hope htccode.com can figure this out...

can't you just call Tmobile and ask them for the unlock code? I've read somewhere they will give u the code after 2 or 3 days

I was about to ask the same question. T-Mobile is usually pretty good about giving out the unlock code. Especially if you bought the device unsubsidized.

I tried first thing on the 24th after obtaining the TMOUS HD2 as well and as you; I have heard absolutely nothing, your right communication is the key.

I called them twice and was told they would give the code after a certain amount of time but only if you have had an active account as they need it to send you the code...I KNOW for a FACT that is not true but its what they told me both times. More likely they have the code right in front of them if not on the next screen, but its not the reps fault they just following orders.
So far:
freeyourhtc.com = Could not return a code...Refunded my money within 2 hours from purchase. $18.99
htc-unlocker.org = Emailed me code after 2 hours; it didn't work. BUT!!! They emailed me twice since saying they are working on it. After 24 hours they emailed me saying the code is not in any of the databases but they can request it from TMO but they want an additional $10.00 and it could take 3 days. $19.99
leo.unlock-now.com (unlock-now.com) = Not so much even as an email to say thank you for the payment. Still waiting, site says it could take up to 2 days...it has been almost a day and a half so far. They sent me a refund (Not quite 2 days yet) saying my code could not be found without me ever emailing them so I guess not so bad after all, also said try back in 15 days.$23.95
I also emailed 2 ebay unlock sellers they have not wrote back yet.
Man I miss Olipro and Cmonex ---They dont have an unlocker on their site yet!!!

BLAHHH
I am going through the same exact thing!
I used HTCCode.com and after I paid and d/l the client they say it wouldn't because my PayPal is from the U.S.
Sim-unlocker.com- is garbage. They haven't gotten back to me at all. They did how -ever happily take my money with out any issues
T-Mobile-They have been the most helpful, they said since I purchased my phone at a major retailer they would do it but I had to fax some info. I than said that was unacceptable and the kind lady asked if i had any friends on T-mobile. luckily I did and they said it would at max take 48hrs. I have been waiting since last night..

is your hd2 from the us or the uk t-mobile?
i have four hd2 t-mobile upgrade which i can`t unlock, had no issues before
maybe there is some software to unlock hd2?

If I remember right there was a legal deal regarding the unlock code situation. You are the owner of the phone and have the right to the code. The carrier is required to give you the code. I have had good luck getting tmo USA to give me my codes on past phones. It sometimes takes a day or two because they had to get it from htc.

When I bought the phone and I made sure to request my phone would would be unlocked so I can compare with my AT&T service. I did not transfer my number and kept my AT&T account open.
When I called in to have it unlocked, one guy said they can't unlock it until after 14 days, which is the last day to return the phone in many states. I called again and a lady said I have to be through 2 billing periods or 40 days to get it unlocked. This is not written in my contract. I demanded something in writing and there is not a written policy or specific terms on this. But yet, I'm "contractually" binded to this "policy" even though it was never discussed to me nor was it in my contract. I didn't leave the store until I got a written documentation of the conversation around the 40 days.
Then I look at the Terms and Conditions online and line item #6 states customers have the right to have it unlocked.

It's all in how you interpret "you may be eligible"...
WTF does that mean? Do they have the right to place eligibility requirements on it even? What are the U.S. laws regarding this?

How do you think the ones that popped up on ebay right away after release got their codes so fast?
I have tried 3 unlocking sites and they all said code cannot be found at this time.

Tried this, was told the account had to be active for 40 days which is bull because when I called before getting the phone they said you just had to have an account active.

unlock-now.com
They were unable to unlock my T-Mobile US HD2. Also looking for someone to unlock my new phone.

I've been "pressuring" htccode.com to come up with a unlock. If they can do it I told them I'd put a post on my site (HTCHD2.NET) which might drum up some sales. It's gets a decent amount of hits so hopefully this will motivate them.

How sketchy are the ebay unlockers?

I have not ever done this before, but I found this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/UNLOCK-Code-AT-...Accessories&hash=item1c138c9851#ht_4764wt_913
I was wondering if any of these are legit or do they all fall into the realm of too good to be true. I have called at&t and they stated that I could not have an unlock code so that is why I am going down this route, if it turns out to be legit.
Anyway I welcome your feedback about what may be just a dumbass question, LOL.
p.s. the only reason I am looking at this guy's page is that he has +50000 reviews with 99.8% quality.

my one experience with an ebay unlock code was it bricked the phone I was using. After doing further research I found that this was a constant for that phone. I have not seen any posts about unlocking an Aria yet but I also have not been looking for them since I am on AT&T so there is no need to unlock the phone for a different carrier currently.

that's the same guy i used to unlock 3 at&t phone. i never had a problem

If you are going out of the country then call att and tell them that. they will give you your unlock code for free all youll have to do is get a different (Non att) sim.

They changed that policy. Now you have to wait for your contract to run out before they will unlock your phone, even if you tell them you're traveling. I tried calling them and having them unlock it, and that's what they told me. I was really disappointed too, because they've unlocked my phone before and never gave me any trouble because of the contract.
Maybe if I had threatened to unlock it anyhow, I might have had better luck– but I doubt it.

Ya I tried calling them too. Told them my situation and it was denied. I guess I will try this guy. At the most I am out 10 bucks.

Strange, I just re-upped my contract when buying my Aria, and unlocked my phone with the code from ATT tech support for free. I do go internation a few times/year, so that may be a flag that I am not entirely lying, but it was no problem. Also, I used chat, instead of phone...they gave the my code in 10 seconds.

So I took the plunge. Fast service from this guy. Bought yesterday and got today. Went by t-mobile store and borrowed a sim. Put in unlock code and let me in the system. Rebooted to verify with t-mobile sim. Did not ask for code the second time.
Altogether happy. Me -$13.00. Phone unlocked.
Buyer beware. Cannot guarantee same results.

I also used blowfish06 to try and unlock my HTC Aria. He couldn't unlock it for whatever reason and immediately refunded my money. I'd use him again.

just curious so please forgive me but how did that go, you walked into store..umm, can I borrow a sim ? they just hand them out to try out ?
I spoke with ATT tech (actually chat and then called to verify..) and they said they will give unlock code in 90 days from day of activation, no problem on their part, no cost.

i'm curious about all this too and still with a locked HTC Aria.
I went to the ebay link and read everything.
At some point it says:
"...be advised I cannot do refunds if phone asking for a PIN (personal code) which is password set on the phone (?)"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well if this is my phone and I have the personal password, then I might have it.
When inserting a SIM card the phone says:
"SIM network unlock PIN", SOOOOO, I don't get it... will write the guy an email about it and hear what he says about it...
Eager to unlock this phone!

So..
1. I have heard various things from people regarding what AT&T will do for them. I would call them first and if they will unlock it for you then great. I spoke to them and they would not give it to me and told me that they had an exclusive right to the phone for the foreseeable future.
2. I did just walk into the t-mobile store and ask for a sim. The girl looked at me puzzled and said they are 20 bucks. I told here I need it for five seconds to unlock my phone. She said that Phones don't do that. I said that I have the code. She gave me a used sim.
In conclusion I think that I did go searching for a credible way to do this. I don't want a million people telling me what at&t's policy is since I did call them though. At any rate I did unlock my phone so I am good.

May I ask you and if you remember what was the message the phone displayed before you unlock it with the t-moblie SIM card?
It was the message "SIM network unlock PIN" or what did it say?
I believe what you did, I've done certain type of things in past, walking into a store and asking for those sort of things... lol... great that it worked!

Ya it was something like "SIM NETWORK UNLOCK" not a personal unlock and I had to put in the 8 digit unlock code I bought off ebay. The previous post of mine was just about all the people stating all the AT&T policies that they have heard of and asking why I didn't just call them when I stated in my first post that I did. Also ya social engineering worked great there as they gave me some old sim to use they they found in a desk that didn't work but had a different network ID on it so it would prompt me for the SIM UNLOCK code.

seems then that I 'm having the same message, will try buying a code from the ebay guy then.
thanks a lot for your response.
PS. Calling AT&T wont work for me either as I bought the phone through ebay and I have not and will never have AT&T phone # or something to just simply call them and say 'hey I bought one of your phones over ebay, would you please give me the unlock code?' lol...

just bought a code from the ebay seller... will see how it develops and if the code works.
I will post results and everything related once I have the code

universal Sim
I have tried a few online sellers and they say a code is not available for my aria. Bummer, hopefully that will change. I remembered I had one of those universal sim chips like a Rebel Sim. I sort of works. Sometimes when I turn the phone on I can manually choose the network and get service, but most of the time it won't connect. Maybe I can buy a newer version of the universal sim.

Well dude, I got to say that the ebay deal really worked for me!!! Couldn't be more happy!
Was a little skeptical about it but just got the code on the email minutes ago and worked right away!!!
Cost me 9.95 because the price was reduced and paid with PayPal. Bought it in the morning and got the code minutes ago.
There's another ebay seller with the same price/offer which seems to work too (good feedback too)

Thanks to breakeven and xda-developers forum!!!

I decided to test this out today for fun.
I tried 3 different ebay unlockers (all were rated as top-sellers) and all 3 were unable to unlock my off-contract Aria (from Amazon). They did, however, offer to try on another server, at around 2-3x the original cost, which I refused and was refunded my money.
I really don't care if my Aria can be unlocked since I have no intention of leaving AT&T anyway, but I thought I'd share MY experience with the rest of you. YOUR experience may vary.
On a side note, I unlocked 2 different models of Blackberry (again, just for fun) a few days ago using one of those ebay sellers with no problem. So I wouldn't worry too much about getting ripped off (as long as they are top rated sellers).

hey tongas would you mind telling us which ebay seller unlocked you Aria?
Thanks

Bell Motorola Atrix on Rogers/FIDO

I thought I started this thread but it seems to have disappeared ? Anyway thought I'd start it back up since there are many of us in Canada will likely be going this route. Any quirks between carrier settings or special settings needed for this to work fairly flawlessly ?

Only thing you need is to add proper apn settings to make it work on any other carrier, that and the phone has to be unlocked.

im waiting this too lol for mexico the thing its when will be unlocked!!!i cant wait lol

Ahhh yess... the good old "locked" phone scenario. I guess that would be same issue with AT&T model.
APN settings shouldn't be an issue for data. I know the exact one to use for FIDO but MMS might still be an issue?

You have to get a special code either from bell, a store that unlocks phones etc. Bell will usually give it to you after you bought for a month while at the store the code is like $10. (Each phone has a different code) Then you just input the code (each phone has a different method but it's very easy.)

Wait, so if I bought it from Bell, I'd have to wait a month before they'd give it to me? There's no way I just couldn't buy it outright from them?

the unlock code let you use any sim in the atrix from any carrier in the world (of course that are bands compatible) so many people (like me) want the unlock code so i can buy it from at&t and then use the unlcok code to use it in my country that have the same bands

No, I know. He said that Bell would give me the unlock code so I could use it on Rogers, but I'd have to wait a month after I bought it. I was asking if there was any way I could just buy the unlock code from Bell right away.

Yes that is something I mentioned in the previous thread that I started (now gone). I mentioned that it is very likely Bell would keep the phone for their own customers (existing or new sign up), so they may not sell you the phone at all without a contract with them. Unlock codes can be had on the internet for $25 or less, but will Bell sell the phone with no contract. Let`s see what happens.

Bell selling you the phone off contract is ENTIRELY based off of which person you talk to. They're all allowed to do it, but it's looked down on since they make less money if you do it that way.

the other thing that you may have to look into is ATT probably has tethering disabled. I for one want to use this on Telus. it'll have to be rooted (I assume) to be able to use this feature. Plus all of att's bloatware which I'd want to get rid of as well (again rooting will do the trick)
Odd's are Bell won't be the only ones selling it; re-sellers will probably have it off contract as well (Tbooth, bestbuy.ca maybe walmart) but I was surprised this morning when I looked at bestbuy US and Amazon, they are selling it for 599, so off contract at bestbuy.ca and Tbooth they'll probably have it for 699/799 (just my guess though)

well it looks like the bloatware is just a matter of uninstalling it, very glad its not part of the ROM

You are right, I got this confirmed by a Cell Phone sales representative.
I visited a Bell Store and a The Source and both told me that I can buy the Atrix full price, but I have to activate it with Bell (35$) + Pay for the first month (50$).
The reason is that if they sell only the phone, they get only 1$ from bell.
If they sell a plan they get 5$ !
My advise, shop around until you find someone that is not that cheap, or just offer him/her the 5 bucks

i typed in the apn settings on my phone the internet only works on the broswer all the apps dont get 3g
but when i switch to wifi everything works :S
weird anyone want to help a newwwwwwwwwebee iphone user?

I have a Bell Atrix on Telus.
cellunlock.net is the cheapest and i've used them for 5 phones so far. 14.99 for any Moto phone, use android50 coupon code for 50% off (if it still works)
The folks instore didn't know anything about unlocking, Telus CSR told me it was 50$ to unlock the desire before i sold it, i was like EFF THAT!
I bought the phone for 599$ but I sold my Desire for 250 and my Milestone for 250$, 100$ to upgrade wasn't bad.
Entered APN and everything is dandy.

rogers/fido users
fido and rogers users may run in to an issue with their call display/name display feature.
when you receive calls they will show up as "payphone" on your display and won't show the name or number of the person that is calling.
to fix this its simply a matter of calling rogers and asking them to "exclude" (very important to say exclude because they cannot remove just the name display but they CAN exclude it. found that out after 4 different calls between tech support and customer care). once the name display is excluded you can now see the numbers of the caller, and if they are already in your phone you will see their name as well.

[Q] Can anyone unlock phones?

I need to unlock my HD2. I need to get the 25 digit activation code. Does anyone on here know how to do this or could point me in the cheapest direction for the newest database? i know mine needs a code from the most up to date database.
thanks.
:]

There is a lot of threads on this exact subject, please use search next time.
Now as for your question yes you can simple unlock your HD2 as well as most other smartphones that require a simple card to work. I see your carrier is listed as T-Mobile so all you have to do is contact T-Mobile And tell them you need a unlock code cor your HD2. Tell them you are going to have to go out of country for business or a vacation and you want to be able to use a local carrier's services while there. Or if you want just tekl them you are going to terminate your contract with them and switch to another carrier, but still want to use your HD2 and not have to buy another phone. I recommend the first suggestion myself but hey sometimes honesty is the best policy. Your other option is to go to Ebay and buy a code. they are not expensive at all. It is up to you how you want to go about getting your code. Be advised though using your HD2 with another carrier. You will only get Edge signal for your data signal. This is because of the hardware in the HD2 not the software. If you are switching to AT&T the Australian HD2 can use AT&T's 3G Signal but no other HD2.

contacting t-mobile isn't an option. ill just save up money and buy one on ebay. i knew i was gonna have to do that but i was just seeing if anyone on XDA could unlock phones.

is there a way to unlock my phone for free without calling t-mobile? like how do the people on ebay/other sites do it?

guess not....? :[

unlock code
I just got the phone off Craigslist, I didn't waste time spend little $, went to three sites, try and get codes, no luck, waste times, n hope I ll get my $ back. After 2 weeks, I finally got unlcok code from the seller, who's carrier is tmobile, since I asked him I can't get the unlock code from different sites, so he finally forwarded tmobile email w unlock code to me. So especially u r with t mobile , and why not hv they give u code?

You can get a friend who uses tmobile to do it for you? You get one unlock code every 90 days. I've unlocked two phones already including my HD2 and they don't care whose phone it belongs to.
All they ask for is the IMEI, the phone model, and an email address to contact you to send you the code. At first I got a confirmation email a day after calling, then the three days later they sent me the code.

they dont look up account info?

Not from my experience, I previously had a Samsung phone with TMobile and when I called them and told them I wanted to unlock an HD2 they didn't ask any questions and just asked for phone info. They even offered me free unlimited internet for a month as a promotional offer, lol.
Just make sure your bill is paid, they won't give you the unlock code if your bill is outstanding.
TMobile has some awesome service, I'm going to miss them.

yea, i have an outstanding bill. i tried calling them and just saying i bought the phone off of someone. they said they needed the original owner to call them. guess ill just get 1 off ebay.

Carrier Unlock Motorola Atrix?

I just bought a Motorola Atrix AT&T Locked one. I want to unlock for any gsm carrier. Many told me to talk with AT&T directly but as I've bought it from another person I don't know about the purchase date & etc etc.
So I wanna unlock via any site. I found a top rated seller on ebay which says it can unlock Atrix for just US $2.32. http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCK-CODE...ultDomain_0&hash=item2eb905b602#ht_2819wt_982
Should I choose it or there's another good sites for unlocking?

I think it worth a try. just 2bucks. If i were you i would give it a try

I was also thinking about that!

A good chunk of people have been able to get an unlock code just from calling AT&T. From what I understand you just need a CSR willing to help you, and with that... good luck.

for what its worth, I just bought an unlock code for about the same price from another ebay seller. Worked fine but took longer than they advertized(5 - 10 min). Took more like 5 hours, at the time it was somewhat annoying.

You took 5 hours on ebay ,but i brought it from some other website. It took me 3 days and cost 24bucks. lol

Crazy. Yea, some phones are cheap and others, even damn near identical phones have wildly varying prices.
Off topic, but Tecnic, how is the water level in Bangkok, has it started to recede yet? Is Yanhee affected at all?

Really? An AT&T rep will carrier unlock my Atrix? Wow. I'll have to ring them up this afternoon.

I got mine unlocked by just calling the AT&T customer service and asking them nicely.
Person gave me the code right on the spot. Took about 5mins total. easy peasy
if you don't want to wait on the phone, just use their online chat service.

I can't find the online chat service link. Can you kindly give me the link?
Thanks!

i used mobifreedom, it took about 10 -15 min, and cost about $9CAD. worth the money if you ask me, rather than wait 5+ h or wait on the phone with ATT

AT&T will give you the code, just call and talk to a CSR - the atrix has been out long enough that they will gladly unlock it for you as long as your account is in good standing - I just told them I was planning a trip out of country and needed it unlocked. Simple as that. Just have to give them the IMEI#

But I don't have any AT&T account or any sim. I live outside USA & told my bro to take an Atrix for me. How'll I convince them? Any ideas?

I used it as well, but the code didn't work. I sent them an email and wait 24h so far - no response

I unlocked just by talking to AT&T live agent.

Mine is UK Orange, though.

I got my unlock code by calling ATT and talking to a CSR, for whatever reason though they had to email it to me about a week later but I did manage to get it. I got mine off ebay and didn't need to know any of the purchase info, all I needed was my contact info for sending the unlock code and the IMEI
