Hi guys i am very new on this subject and i just need some info about unlocking my wildfire.
I read quite a few post but i didn't found something step by step and finally to work.
So basically i just need to unlock my phone from the network(vodafone)so i can use it in other networks.
So what is the best solution:
1.Gold card
2.Unrevoked
3.ROM FLASHING GUIDE FOR NOOBs(if it works).
Thanks and sorry for opening a new thread even if so much information can be found on this site.
A quick walkthrough would be much apreciated for a solution.
Well I have done all the steps you pointed out and I'm still locked to t-mobile so I guess gold card, root and flash is not enough to unlock it but only to debrand your phone.

You cannot unlock a phone with the code from the provider or unlocker

I typo'd there I meant without. =P
Thanks for your feedback it seems i don't have other choice but this. Except HTCsimUnlock you now other trusty sites so i can get a sim code .
I tried htcsimunlock.com but they said they couldn't unlock it for 20$ what I have paid already,so I should pay them another 20$ and then they maybe can unlock it...I sayd no, they refunded my money. So it wasn't such a good experience for me.
Well as far as i know a lot of ppl are facing problems getting codes from htccodes.com and htcsimunlock.com just for everyone's info..
SIM UNLOCK IS NOT DEBRANDING, ROOTING, GOLDCARD.. Its an entirely different thing so do not confuse these things..and one should use Sim Unlocker / Code generator for the same which is not yet available for wildfire ..
I got one from mobileunlocked.co.uk it wasn't cheap at £23.50 but I couldn't find anyone else who could do it. 3 or 4 dites said they could but I ended up getting refunded
Mine was locked to 3 and I needed Vodafone
If your phone is new, ie manufactured after the month of May, it will cost you more and many sites do not have access to this latest database.
How can you tell the manufacture date? a sticker on the phone?
Any chance of a free unlock code?

Htc wildfire great phone rooted and with psfreeedom great stuff but still locked.
I read some post on the samsung galaxyS and they have a aplication for android and works like this :
Step 1, Get the code:
Install the app below. When you run the app, it will search for the unlock and unfreeze codes on your phone.
After it aquires the codes, they will be saved to your sd card in a text file. You can also write them down or email them to yourself with the email button.
Step 2, Enter code:
Power down the phone
Put in a SIM card from another carrier
Power up the phone When it boots up enter the unlock code when asked
Very simple i really hope that someone can help us with something like this for wildfire.

What application? Below?
Those steps were only a example of how the application works ,the orginal thread you can find here:
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
the app is exclusively for Samsung. Tried it on the wildfire but nothing. will search more deep for a free unlock solution
I am not sure it work, this app specialy for samsung ...
At htcsimunlock.com it states:
MPORTANT – Please read prior to purchasing any codes.
You must first check to see if your phone accepts an unlock code. To do this simply insert a different network sim card into your mobile phone and see if the unlock code screen is displayed. If a screen where you must enter the unlock code is not displayd, or if you don't have this option in your phone menu, please do NOT purchase an unlock code. If you still go ahead and order then we will provide you with the unlock code but you will NOT be able to enter it and you will NOT be eligible for a refund.

My phone doesn't even give me the option to enter the unlock code. Any ideas?
I have been trying to get a handset network unlocked that I bought last week. None of the online services I have tried have been able to provide a code and have therefore refunded me.
Any suggestions?

Hey
Just bought a HTC touch, locked to Orange network, and would love to unlock it for O2
I have looked at this Thread CLICK HERE
However user 'pof' is saying I need to unlock my touch in 'RAPI, which means nothing to me.
And looked at this Thread CLICK HERE which mentions nothing about RAPI or any other extra files I required
Any help would be great
(sorry if similar threads exist)

HTC touch pin problem
Hi Guys,
I bought a HTC touch. I got an unlock code through a software in this forum. My problem is that when I put a foreign sim card, it is asking me for some pin number. I am not really sure what that pin number is as I never set one.
Can you help me reset it to some default number.
What is the defualt number for HTC touch. I should try that too.
Cheers

If you unlock it then kiss goodbye to any warranty from Orange. And if you **** up the unlock you will have an expensive little useless object of art.
Mine is on Orange and I think orange is great but now I have changed my white case to black my warranty has gone but I am still not tempted to unlock it, too risky for me.

There hardly is any branding. A startup-picture and some web favourites inside the browser that you can delete, maybe a provider-specific app. No hardware branding at all.
But if you mean the SIM lock to one provider than that's what is discussed in this thread.

I know the difference between a software/hardware branding and a sim unlock. I was specially talking about the provider specific startup picture. Everything else is easy removable Any way to remove that one ?

Has anyone tested this? I tried but software doesn't load properly.
Or is it illegal? I have no idea as i've never done anykind of unlocking/modding before.
That was hardware based tool. You need a SPT Box (which cost arround 200EUR).
Paid unlock details removed - refer to the forum rules please.
I am in a similar situation with a phone locked to Three (in the UK).
I have tried SPT but it won't load with a "Smart card resource manager is not running" error.
The link in the second post no longer goes to anywhere.
To anyone who has the phone unlocked: how did you get it done?
Yes, the link in first post is down :-/
it would be nice if somebody can post this unlocking method.
New link here:

I just bought OMNIA 7 at Three store in UK, but noone in London knows how to unlock it... ;-(

Has any one tried flashing the samsung omnia 7 with device image available.
Please share your experience.
Oh no.... I also bought an Omnia 7 with 3 Austria lock. Can someone plz tell me how I can can unlock it. It s important i have the phone now but I can´t phone or sms with it, that sucks... Is that Ebay Link only for T-Mobile and At&T ? But in the description is sayed that it s for all european carriers ? So can i unlock my 3 Austria phone with this Ebay Link ? Are t-Mobile an AT&T only Examples ?
Thx for your help
I think you will be OK. Reading some of the feedback it would appear that 3 ,Orange and T-Mobile phones can all be unlocked.Why not send him a message and ask him specifically about 3 Austria.
I used this bay seller and i got the code back the same day and it worked fine.
My only problem now is that i can't get the internet to work? Calling and messaging is fine. I understand that MMS doesnt work but i cant open an explorer page or anything. I tried some different APN setting but still no luck.
Does anyone have any tips?
I unlocked my phone from t-mobile EU and trying to use UK Vodafone.
Thanks!
I found my own solution! If anyone else need them, the APN settings for Vodafone are..
APN: internet
Username: Web

Hi there,
I found few websites that offer an unlock code, but I just wanted to check it with you guys which service is the most reliable.
My Desire HD is on its way to me, but it will be locked to T-Mobile UK and I will need it unlocked.
Any recommendations? Or perhaps there is a DIY, free way to unlock it?
Thanks
Yep, there is a free way to unlock it. Over in the Dev section there is a tool to Root, S-OFF, Unlocked CID & SimUnlock all in one.
If you dont want to do all that and just unlock the SIM, I have personally used http://www.unlock-now.com/ for my HTC Hero. I had no problems, and I got a code in 15 minutes.
I've just checked and they support the DHD, just make sure you use your Paypal account, "just in case" there are any problems, atleast you'd get your money back.

Thanks a lot for a clear answer
I'll try the "free" way first, otherwise I will go to the site you provided.
Although when you said about money back I'm not sure about this. I bought something once from one of the worldwide websites and something went wrong and when I wanted to get my money back, PP said that they don't support "other" websites than eBay. But it may have changed now.
Thanks for your help anyway I will definitely go for it.
No problem at all.
I can confirm that if you log in to your PayPal account then pay, you should still be covered. I previously tried to buy a unlock code for my Hero from >> www.htccode.com <<, I did not recieve my code and submitted a PayPal dispute. After 21 days or so I got my money back.
I wouldn't recommend that site to anyone, others may have used it and had success. Strangely Google Chrome now flags the site "Malware Detected".
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S which can be easily unlocked by code. A friend want to buy a HTC Desire HD, so we want to know about the unlock as well.
I was looking at the Tool Radio S-Off. I want to know if it's the same as unlocking by code, or I will lost my SimUnlock by restoring the Desire HD?
The tool in the Dev section is very different from a code you would normally buy.
If you or your friend is comfortable and experienced in using the SDK, adb & fastboot then you should have no problems in using this tool.
Make sure you read & re-read any steps before you perform them. I almost bricked my wife's SGS! - Fortunately her's did not have a faulty download/recovery.
I almost broke my SGS many time and I have a faulty device without R&D. Luckily, it can be fixed but I always check its avaibility before every flash.
My friend know nothing about IT in general, that's why I want to know there is a tool which can generate the code like the case of SGS (as I understand, the code is available in the phone itself for the SGS, but it may not be the case for the Desire HD).
I don't know how this tool works, whether it retrieves a stored code or not.
If you've read though the guides and its something you'd want to try both for the experience and an unlocked DHD then I'd be happy to help should you get stuck.

I was in the same situation as you are now. Set up Wp7 with 2gb sdcard, activated windows live, realized that 2gb are too low, installed again with 16gb card one day later. Activationcode didnt work then :O
But it worked after I unlocked my hd2 with chevron and this HOWTO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218
So go for it and unlock it first that it will be reconized as HD7 and try again.
P.S.: I saw a thread somewhere in the wp7-hd2 section where a guy posted some activation codes.
i really appericiate your apply but the problem is i have unlocked and then even tried to do the activation but couldnt be successfull . Hey please try to remmber where you saw that post and give me the link it would be a blessing
If you already have your activation code then you don't need another.
Just re-flash WP7, re-unlock (also reg hack as HD7) then add live account and use same code.
If it doesnt work you are not entering code correctly.
If not re-phone support and get code again and explain your previous isn't working or get a new code for new live account.

Where did you store the code number? Or did they not email it to you? Call back the MS support that issued your code number, as when you gave them your details. Thats what they use to give you your own code number back.
You can only use your code 3 times. Then its back to them with your detials, to get a new number.
Russ
If you feel you need a new code then get one, it's very easy.
Go to Microsoft helpdesk website (Google it). Click get support, click general help (I clicked the windows 7) then chat, then simply state that you are setting up your windows phone 7 and it's asking for an activation code, they wanted a name and who made my phone (HTC) then gave me the code. Even said if there was a problem to chat back for another one hope this helps

(anyone one else think the keyboard blows? Damn I miss swype)
guess what i called up the microsoft guys and got the code it was a piece of cake all you need to have is some skills of conversation , now im going to login with new activation code thanks everyone though your views and your replies helped me alot
by the way do you guys think that a new update of wp7 for htc hd2 will come or not ? i really love this OS , hope the developers have the same emotions too
i tried almost all method.
call.chat,skype,mail.but hell wtf.they want my purchase proof everytime.
plzcan someone pm me the code?
same here?
i had no problems when calling MS for an activation code, only took like 5 mins
All you have to do is tell them you just got a new windows phone (don't say HD7 yet) and need an activation code for access to marketplace, games, etc. And they going to need your information. Give them your real information, and when they ask what device is it, tell them you have HTC HD7. And you know the rest. This is my second time (Feb. 20, 2011) I called them when I lost my first activation code.

If a 5 minute phone call is too much work for you, go back to Android.
Just sayin.
People have had luck getting a code via e-mail, but I don't see what the big deal with calling is.

I always use the chat option. It took me last week 5 minutes to obtain a code.
Just behave as someone who is troubled by a strange question on the screen of your phone: a kind of activation code is asked??? I can't find this in the manual???
You'll see, you'll receive your code almost instantly.

MICROSOFT support even suggests to get a new activation code when this happens, so it shouldnt be a big deal.
I'm trying to get an activation code, and either I'm losing my mind entirely or Microsoft's UK website keeps re-directing me away from their contact details. Each time I get to the relevant page it part loads, then goes to a page recommending I contact the manufacturer or carrier about any problems.
Can anyone list phone / e-mail details for how to contact Microsoft UK to request an activation code?
Thanks in advance!

That code was only good for so long as it was used by one user. By sharing it, it was rendered invalid.
You have to get your own code via chat. It's easy to do.
can someone give here a link to the chat page to ask for activation code?
or maybe the phone we should call?
i searched for a number or chat but nothing
