No unlocking whatsoever in the HTC stock ROM.

As many of you are aware, there a lot of HTC Hero phones that do not accept the unlock code.
This is what happens :
After entering the unlock code it says unlock sucssessful and goes to the home screen but a message saying no service with a "!" appears.
Anyone facing this problem?
I am looking for a phone with such a problem to develop a cable unlock solution.
Ofcourse I am ready to pay for it, give me your offers.

There is already a cable unlock solution isn't there?
@ferraripassion
did you get any further with your exploration of a solution for these locked HT heros. I know of several people who have them but they are locked.
Codes are working.
You need to flash your ROM.

if you got the codes from a site, its not working because your hero is network branded with their own unlock algorithm. downgrade to a generic Hero ROM using a goldcard (here are the instructions, very straightforward: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/). Once on a generic rom, the codes will definitely work.
Is there anyway to unlock the device to work on another carrier without an unlock code? I'd like to do it myself if I can.
Thanks in advance.
T-mobile reps are super nice. Just tell them you're going overseas and they'll happily give you the code.

Look in the G2 android development section for the simunlock, supercid, and S-OFF guide. Might not be what you're looking for if you do not want to root.
Yes. I'd check the wiki instructions linked on that page. If you haven't permarooted yet, running gfree will also give you that as an added bonus.

And then cross your fingers that the code doesn't BRICK it...
gfree for sure is the way to go.
Yes, the HACK is SAFER than the official code!!!!
The hack can even REPAIR the damage done by the official code.
This has got to REALLY make htc feel foolish

ebay...
nckzone worked for me.

Locked to which carrier?
I havent been able to unlock my phone phone i bought it off ebay and i cant seem to unlock it. i bought the unlock code from two different unlock servers and they both appeared with the same code but it doesnt work i was wondering if anyone has had this same problem and was able to fix it. i would apreciate the help thanks in advance.
You have to wait a while for the unlock to go through. I've never unlocked my phone but I've seen videos so I have some knowledge

Something happened with OS in your phone. Maybe it was rooted, or maybe some error in the system. Any how. Just flash your phone with stock rom. The original firmware that it had, and the code should work. Also try factory reset first. That may work as well.
Good luck.
Pm me i'll unlock it for u for free

Yes currently there is no way to ROOT v7 Bootloader and this is really sad
Could you please tell Me what version BL I have? My BL ID number is G930PVPS7CRH2 I would really appreciate it. As well as possibly unlocking it if anyone cares to explain.

You have version 7. Not sure if you can unlock without going though Sprint.

So sprint will unlock the bootloader if you request it?
Also my phone keeps trying to make me do an ota, I keep saying later because it's hard enough trying to figure it out now, do you know what the latest update is about or where I can read about it?

I meant sim carrier unlock. The s7 bootloader is locked down pretty tight. There is an update to b8.
