Unlocking HTC HD2 Sim

Hello. I have bought a HTC HD2 in Spain locked to Vodafone.
I have already installed HSPL2 and installed the portuguese offical ROM (insted of the default spanish).
However, the phone wont accepted my portuguese SIM card. What do i have to do to unlock it?
Tks

i answered your other duplicate post in the HSPL thread.

no, rom lock and sim lock are not connected. You need to either get the code from vodaphone spain, or buy an unlock code online.

heh,. dont be sorry.
No, i dont, i havent unlocked mine. I'm with O2 who have a free unlock service, BUT their 28 day service has taken 4 months so far, still no unlock code, hehe. Good job i dont need it unlocked!
There are a fair number of threads on here about sites like htcunlock.com (or whatever its called) with lots of feedback.
Put 'unlock hs2' into google, , loads of results.

I unlocked a T-Mobile USA & European HD2 here
Got codes back in under 48hrs & even contacted me to correct IMEI as I done a typo, oops ... codes worked fine & are so simple to use.
Worth noting you will need to be on WM OS to unlock the HD2, fortunately all our work HD2s are on WM OS .

you can contact your service provider

Actually you don't need to be!
I had my Tmo HD2 on Android when I put my FarEasTone SIM in. It just asked me to enter the unlock code and I did, it worked just fine.

It was a NAND ROM.

A quick question

Hi I owned a t mobile g2 touch when I had it I rooted it using the goldcard method, I have now given it to a friend who is on the o2 network he took it into a local phone shop who said they would sim unlock it, 2 days passed and now they say they cant do it as it has custom firmware :-( what do I need to do for him to be able to use it?

As far as I know sim unlock has nothing to do with Custom rom or any other rom..
You could try http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/
I used them to unlock my HTC HD7 and were preety quick with the code.. might have to pay via paypal though

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

how to sim unlock htc wildfire!

ok this is to try clear up the amount of people posting for this.
there are only 2 ways of doing this.
1. BUY a unlock code!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. use xtc clip to gain s-off supercid and sim unlock.
there is no free way!!!!!!!
unless your device has RADIO S-0FF. NOT revolutionary s-0ff as it is a hboot patch. if you are radio s-off ( highly unlikely as it would need to be shipped s-0ff. )( only other way is xtc clip, but then you would already have sim unlock) then unzip and put the attached file (.nbh) on the root of your sdcard. boot to bootloader. then clear s58 data. this WILL factory reset your device!!!
Again there is NO FREE WAY. NO SOFTWARE WE HAVE CAN DO IT!!!
believe me, we tried...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448972

unlock htc desire, http://www.unlock-htcwildfire.com
I hunted all over the internet to get my phone unlocked. I used another site but the code never came through, i found this site i used live chat to confirm they had the code, i ordered and i got the code with 15 mins and it worked first time and it was the cheapest i found compared to other companies.

Keep in mind that there's always a free way. Just call your service provider and they will send you an unlock code for your phone within 48 hours. The catch is that you need to have an account in good standing. If you don't, you can always fall back on HTC SIM Unlock. I've used them a few times over the years and even got a refund since they coudn't unlock my ancient imate JAM. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1

So you are advertising for this site so that more people pay them for something that we know is not possible. It doesn't sound right......

Hi Heavy_Metal_Man,Does that mean that if my HTC Wildfire is a " RADIO S-0FF", it should be unlocked already? How do i check that."( only other way is xtc clip, but then you would already have sim unlock) then unzip and put the attached file (.nbh) on the root of your sdcard. boot to bootloader. then clear s58 data. this WILL factory reset your device". What will the this do to the phone? Will it unlock the phone?Thanks in advance for any reply.Kind regards

you need to boot into bootloader using volume down and power after the phone is off. if the white screen says s-off and does not say revolutionary then you have either already used an xtc clip, and the phone will be sim unlocked, or it was sent out like that. if you run the diag.nbh it will clear the security data for the phone, but it will only run if you are radio s-off. it will remove sim lock, and give you supercid so you can run any ruu. as a side effect it will wipe all data from your rom.
so, if you are radio s-off this will give you sim unlock. but it will factory reset your phone in the process so back up what you can

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
