Normally, purchasing an unlock code from a reputable online vendor won't void your warranty, but I'm not familiar with how these things work in Croatia.
ah, damn, if i use that code for unlock is my warrianty lose or not?
Ask the people you bought the phone from not us.

How can I unlock it? I've tried 3 unlock sites but they gave me the same unlock code, but the code is not working. Can anyone help me?
Thanx
Did you buy it "unlocked", i mean you paid the full price or it was subsidized?
I bought mine from vodafone also, but they locked it and after a half a day of arguing with them, phone calls and trips to their shop, with incompetent and clearly dumb people i got the unlock code.
Romania is my country! !!!
Tried HSPL or SPL? You can find it here....

Right on the topic hehe
It is free of contract.. Whatever .. I HSPL it but how can I unlock now?
Are you saying you bought it unlocked? Without a contract?
You need to scan the documents that came with it and send it to [email protected] and ask for an unlock code. Send the one with the IMEI also. They will send you the unlock code, because you are entitled to one since you bought it unlocked. That's what i did and i got the unlock code in 5 minutes (i did argue with them on the phone a lot).

FLashing different ROMS will not unlock your device. It WILL allow you to install different ROMS but wont remove the network lock.
10x Lorin. I will do that .
I know that hspl and flashing does not unlok but somebody said earlier that is easier now
Lorin, excellent tip with that email adress. I received today the code without problems. After trying with 3 sites with wrong codes Now I did it for free.
You're welcome. I would have given you the advice even sooner if i knew exactly your situation.
Well first of all I am not a developer.
I am in need of a sim unlocker, there are some websites which unlock your sim but I don't trust them as they ask for IMEI no's...!!!
So I request everyone here please we desperately need a SIM UNLOCKER, donations will be made for sure..!!!
PS : - Opened a new thread cause there wasn't any for SIM UNLOCKING in LEO thread..!!!
I need it very badly..!!!
Please its a desperate plea..!!!

The unlock code is provided based on your IMEI so without giving that up you cant unlock.
Check out ebay for "hd2 sim unlock" <<< This method is temporary!!!
Try htccode.com, I use this several times for both some Hero and HD2, 15euro each as I remember. U get ur code in about 10'. They are reliable.

If you use the ebay chip you pop it in your phone with a different providers sim card it fools the phone into thinking that the sim is from the phones original provider.
When you take the ebay chip out the phone it reverts to being locked to the original providers sim again.
Well I would prefer payin some on XDA rather than another website..!!!

Thanks for making that clear and yes you are right about it being somewhat flaky!
Sorry for bringing this one up, but I have a similar problem. I have HardSPLed my O2 device and then applied WWE 1.66 - Artemis 5.5 Even though I considered the sim lock long gone (this is my first network locked WM device), it is still there! My question is, why? What is the art of a ROM that controls it? Is it hackable? Is it necessary to rely to third party "unlockers" (that I guess have access to the "keygen")?
PS. I already have an old school "sim adaptor" but hey, curiosity never killed the cat.
roms and sim lock - totally unrelated, currently the only way to sim unlock is by getting the code from the provider, or the various websites that offer the service.nothing you do to the rom will affect sim lock.
I already unlocked my hd2 from ebay and it is working for any sim card
My sim unlock works as permanent. I bought it from ebay giving my imei number. And it is very cheap than the shops in london. just for £7.00.

Yup, finally did the same & it worked..!!!
Spent 6 GBP..!!!
But worth it..!!!
I paid to have my HD2 Sim Unlocked today. What Im wondering is if there is software out there that would have let me calculate the code myself?

I am in the U.S. and have Tmobile HD2. Which unlocker service do you recommend and how long does it take.
Try searchin on ebay.co.uk..!!!
Just type HD2 SIM Unlock in the search & you'll find loads of them..!!!
Mmmmm oh yes! OH NOOOO!
So I got my HD2 couple of days ago....... locked on T Mobile UK ..... And it's a 2010 model so a recent build.....
Tried unlocking it - T mobile UK WONT give me the unlock code unless I am on their contract for 3 months and then there will be a 15gbp charge for the actual unlock code
HTC Unlock code does not work! - BECAUSE T Mobile UK Modifies the unlock code provided by HTC
And to top it all up I tried at least 5 unlock services so far but no go! All of them told me the same thing ... that my IMEI as too new and is NOT in their databases....
At this point I am really honestly stuck What can I do to unlock my mobile because I cannot use it If anyone is kind hearted enough over here. Kindly p.m. me with a solution
I was going to use HSPL2 but I guess that the Sim lock will simply remain there because from what I understood HSPL2 just allows you to install cooked roms and allows you to reflash in the case something goes wrong with your installed ROM and the phone goes dead..... But I am not too sure that it removes SIM Locks.
Also I don't know the actual difference between an OP Lock / A Sim Lock and a CID Lock. Anyone can enlighten me?
Many Thanks
Al

The best way is to call T-mobile. I've already unlocked two HD2 with the unlock code provided by T-mo.
Does anyone has experience with site's
unlockcodes.info/
and
htc-unlocker.org/unlock-htc-hd2.htm

I used HTC unlocked to unlock my TMOUS HD2. They were very fast and easy to deal with.
Hey I just got the Tmobile HD2 but I have ATT and was wondering whats the best and fastest website to unlock this phone.
It it is a Tmobile HD2 you should be able to call them , they will unlock it ....
If you are not a tmo customer they make you jump through some hoops but will do it for free ...

You can buy unlock codes from ebay or places like that. But after 40 days, you can call T-Mobile and theyll provide you with the unlock code for free. Also flashing a ROM might unlock it but im not sure

No, flashing a ROM is completely separate from sim-unlocking The upside to that is that once you sim-unlock it, you can flash all you want without having to do it again.
Ok. Thanks for the help. I tried TMobile but they said only if I am a tmobile customer. So thats why I was asking for a good unlocking website. But I will try tmobile again today. Thanks again. But if anyone knows of a good one just in case can you please post it.
some friends advised me this one

There are cheaper unlock, but I'm not sure that they are working
Hello everybody,
I'm kindly asking you to give me an advice concerning the possibility to use the phone in other network than that in which it is locked. Practically, I intend to buy a locked HD2 on e-bay (there are also unlocked phones offered, but the locked ones are cheaper) and I want to know if it would be possible to unlock it with my sim card (unlock it) and also to flash another (cooked) ROM on it. Is it relevant in which network is locked the phone, or it can be unlocked regardless the original network? If it's possible, which would be the safest way to do it (HardSPL?)?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey
your phone can be unlocked, but you will have to use an unlocking service, some network providers will provide an unlock code for a fee (O2 is free) if you've been with them for a certain amount of time, or you could try http://www.unlock-now.com/ - very quick service (got my unlock code in 30mins) for €25.
just one option, you may find cheaper alternatives on ebay?

First off is it a TMOUS HD2 or a EU version?
And Second where are you?? EU or US.
There is a guy on ebay that is very reliable, a lot of people here use him, and I as well, got my unlock code in 15 minutes , for $10 ..
The phone can be unlocked no matter where it is from and you can flash custom ROMs ...
Depending on which version of phone it is and where you are at , your mileage may vary on service ....
You cannot sim unlock the phone with a flash, but you can use HSPL3 to put pretty much any compatible ROM on it, again depends on which version of the phone ...
Hope that helps a little ....
Buy it on eBay. Save some money. They have unlock codes for as low as $10.00 and since it's eBay, your money is safe too just in case the code doesn't work, although I haven't heard of anyone complaining so far.
yup buy unlock code from ebay... i got it from swiftunlocks i think... 15 bux, but got it quick ...

So I'm one of the sorry fools that purchased an XZP through a provider, Vodafone in my case, which means that I'm not allowed to unlock my bootloader. Assuming if I message them they're just going to tell me to f*** off, would paying someone to unlock my sim then allow me to unlock my bootloader or is my phone just crippled?

Its crippled. If it says bootloader unlock not allowed, your buggered.

In theory you are allowed to unlock your phone, it's not illegal and is supported by Sony. You can ask if they can exchange the unit for a unit that you can unlock, but chances are the helpdesk assistant will laugh at you.
If you are desperate to root it, sell it on ebay and buy a unit from outside the UK (it's a UK thing, they don't want to deal with repairing unlocked phones).
But really, root isn't that sexy any more, it breaks a lot of stuff, it's f*ckin hard to get right with the XZ models, doesn't get you a better phone.
