[Q] Unlocking and Debranding - Legend General

Hi All,
I just have a few quick questions about the legend, forgive me if they are a bit silly as i dont have a legend (yet)
The reason im posting here is because i recently ordered my Legend over the internet except there has been a delay in shipping. Basicly I have been told that my phone is part of a brand new batch that just got imported to Australia, these phones are locked to VodaPhone and the website i got it from is waiting for vodaphone to register these phones on there website for them to get the unlock code to put into the phones. They have said they are happy to ship it now its just it wont be unlocked.
So my question if i debrand my phone, will that also unlock the phone to be used with any network? im currently with 3 mobile
I was going to follow this guide here in these forums, I cant post the link cause im only a jr forums member but if u look in the Legend forums for [HOWTO] debrand your Legend im sure you will find it
Also if this doesnt unlock the phone is there another way to unlock the phone? I was thinking maybe rooting it and putting a Froyo ROM on it but i still wasnt sure if this would allow me to use my 3 sim in it.
All of the above i was planing to do anyway, as im sure everyone is im still waiting for the office 2.2 rom from HTC
Thanks in advanced for you help!
this forums has been very usefull and conviced me to get the phone in the first place

if you really would have read all the threads you would have known lol but your device can be CID-unlocked at imei-check.co.uk , but why would you want to do that?
edit: I see you have vodafone ROM right?
I believe vodafone also released a ROM... check the threads again..

:-D What about those of us with USA phones and services? I just looked through the last few forum pages and didnt see anything on unlocking...
Unlock
My Herald came with Vodafone dutch WM5 and I tried to install the official HTC WM6 Dutch Rom but it wouldn't work.
Now I have unlocked my Herald with imei-check.co.uk
I admit, I wasn't sure at first but I decided to take the risk.
You pay with Paypal so that's pretty safe.
imei-check.co.uk has a policy where they want id proof for first time buyers, so I sent a scan of my dutch driving license. I got my unlock code a few hours later and it worked great. Very easy and quick.
CID and SIM unlock.
I have installed the dutch WM6 rom from HTC with another SIM card and all works great.

Solutions for HTC P4350

So, this must be my first post in this great forum so I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this in the right place.
I'm interested in unlocking my HTC P4350 and before I've posted this thread, I've already read most of the topics that talked about unlocking SIM or CID the Herald. Although, some questions remained and that's why I'm opening this thread.
First, I still can't get the difference between CID and SIM unlock and the way in which they both interact. Don't know if by CID unlocking the device I get SIM unlock, etc.
Secondly, I saw that most users tell people to follow this method, http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php but I can't really judge it to say if it's safe for my money and device.
Another option was to contact Vodafone from Portugal directly and buy them a unlock code. Although I'm really not sure of this because I want a full device unlock option (CID and SIM unlock I guess) that allows me to work with other network SIM cards, to flash the device with new ROM's and to upgrade to any Windows Mobile I want. Doesn't matter if the solution is free or not. Just name one please !
PS: Also found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433544 but I really don't know if it helps me in any way.
Peace.
CID Unlock - CID stands for Country ID..if you get to CID Unlock your phone, it means you can flash any (officially released) ROMS released for Herald. I suggest you load Hard SPL on your phone, it gets CID Unlocked plus you're safe from bricking it from wrong/bad flashing. See here
SIM Unlock - Would unlock your phone from a specific carrier and be able to use all SIM cards
It doesn't necessarily mean that when you CID Unlock your phone, it gets network unlocked too, no... they are done separately... some utilities (well on other devices) get them integrated on a single program (none i think for the Herald)
On the case of www.imei-check.co.uk, after the payment, they will be providing you an unlock kit that would SIM and CID Unlock your phone..
CID Unlock ( free thru Hard SPL)
SIM Unlock - I guess you have to pay for it since there are still no other free solutions to SIM Unlock a Herald. Contact jockyw2001 for a good price for unlocking.
Thank you very much for the help !
I'm going to use this post to say that I'm very happy with the simple and easy way that jockyw2001 got to SIM unlock my Herald. After long research in a way to unlock my P4350, a member, in this thread told me to talk to him and I did. After a 20 minute e-mail talk, I've got my Herald SIM unlocked for a small fee of 25$ US.
Nice job jocky.
So, I'm going to use this thread to put my questions to avoid starting new ones.
I've already SIM unlocked my phone with jocky and now I've done the HardSPL method to CID unlock the device.
Now comes my really noobish part. If i'm not in mistake, a WM6 update came out to the Herald and I'd like to install it on my PDA. I've got already a different looking OS because the HardSPL method but my 2 questions are about the WM6 update and the TouchIT OS install. Are they both the same thing? Which do you advise to install on the Herald?
Maybe my question is out of the context but I can't explain myself any better :x.
Regards and thank you for reading.

true in essence its actually the same but the toucht it roms are lot better it comes with a lot of reg edits so it runs stable/better/faster it comes with a custom theme wich imho looks pretty badass but also check out ttrans open touch its really good as well

I just used them to unlock a T-mobile Wing. Worked beautifully, was fast and easy (with the time difference, everything was ready by the time I woke up this morning after ordering it last night).
Edit: I see you already unlocked... Oh well, that'll teach me to read the whole thread before hitting the quick reply...

Unlock code

Hi guys! Well, i bought a new HTC magic, but my problem is that im going away from the country for a while and I needed to unlock my phone!
After trying 2 payed sites that offered remote unlocking by IMEI, neither one of them was able to successfuly deliver the Unlocking Code after more than 2 days!
Anyone got an idea about this? Im starting to get really worried...
Thanks in advance...
Try just rooting it & using a rom provided here..
wrong. try using ur default ROM and then doing the unlock
I have my original rom... the problem is, wherever I go, no one can "create"/"deliver"/"found" (call it what you want... lol) a code for my IMEI! its starting to get really annoing...
Thanks for your replys!
Double post... Sorry!

T-Mobile HD2, Unlock or Not?

Hey peepolz,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile HD2 for some rom tinkering. I'll be using it in India. Was wondering if I needed to unlock the sim through WinMo 6.5 before installing Android or would installing an Android Rom over WinMo automatically unlock it, since it is practically a completely new software over the old.?

a) No.
b) Read guides in sticky first before asking questions.
c) Wrong forum. Please post question in the "questions" forum, this is for posting ROM's/Builds and related development ONLY.

1) No what? It gets unlocked after putting in Android or needs to be unlocked?
2) Sorry, my bad.
3) Moderator, please pardon and oblige.
It neither requires SIM unlocking, or does it. (Assuming you're using the correct provider's SIM!)
In simpler words, Android does not sim unlock your phone.
Sent from my HD2 running Android on NAND
unlock the HD2 for 20$.. there are few sites available.. i tried with this way and it works good in Indian SIM
if you bought without any contract, call Tmobile customer care and get the unlock code...
once it's unlocked you can use it in India..
Installing rom won't unlock the SIM lock with tmobile
Thnx Guys.

uk bought xoom - need help

asked in q&a but no response
hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I'm sure this has been covered, must search harder!! LOL
Anyhow
I flashed this Rom on to my uk xoom. Doesn't matter that it's for the US one , well I've not seen any ill effects It also turns your device into a google experience device so updates come direct from google. You're a bit late to the party on that one however as they've dropped support in 4.2.1
Bootloader is unlockable through fastboot oem unlock ( this will wipe your data ), no hacking required.
That should give you something to start wifi!
