{Q} HTC HD2 unlock

I was wondering if there is a program or spl to unlock the phone so i can use it for at&t

No, buy a code or ask t mobile.

Where can we buy the code? I have tried like 3 different vendors (offline) but none of them have been able to get the unlock code. I read somewhere that the latest HD2s are coming with a new Series and it is hard to find the unlock codes for them. Is it true?

I did it twice with this guy. http://www.htccode.com/
First time when it was new $15, and second time with a new motherboard replacement. It had the new IMEI, but he was able to do it still. I think it cost an extra $10 because of new database, but it was worth it for me.
His site has you download a program. I was not able to get that working because I was paying with PayPal, but he walked me through it on the Live Chat window in about 5 mins. Both times, VERY quick, and very easy. Nice to deal with.

Hi. I have a problem. I have the unlock code from T-Mobile and I use it to unlock my phone (I had the shipping ROM 2.10.531.1) and after that I updated my ROM to 2.13.531.1 and now the phone is locked again and the code is not working. What can I do? Thanks

By flashing a new ROM your device should not have re-locked itself as far as I know. Try going back to 2.10 and see if it is indeed unlocked, or just slap your SIM in the phone as it is, cancel the SIM unlock and see if it can dial out without entering the code. If it can, just ignore the prompt and use the device as normal. This used to happen on the Wizard, phantom "relocks" but if you just ignored 'em all was like normal. I do not know if it works with the HD2 aswell but I suppose it is worth a try!
I myself SIM unlocked my US HD2 and have flashed several ROMs includeing stock ones and have never had my device re-lock on me.

Yea but the problem is that I don't have anymore the version 2.10 and beside that today I put an AT&T sim and the phone said that the sim is missing :-?

Try a hard reset.
Is the phone not asking you to enter any code?

I tried hard reset, but is not working and is not asking me for code. I just have in start menu a prog called SIM App. and there it ask the code but when I put the code it say that is wrong even if the first time with 2.10 ROM it worked. I spoke with T-Mobile and they don't know or don't want to tell me because I'm not their customer. Nobody have the original 2.10? the one that is shipped with the phone?

T-Mobile

Is there anybody that would be able to call T-Mobile to get me the Unlock Code for my Samsung Vibrant, if I give them my IMEI.
I had my phone unlocked and for some reason it randomly locked up again.
I would call T-mobile myself, but I am not with them and I live in Canada.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

T-Mobile gives former eligible customers free unlock codes.

Unfotunately I don't think it will work. The phone has to have been registered on the users account, meaning the user must have put their sim in the phone before, or there has to be proof that exact phone with the IMEI was purchased from T-Mobile by the account holder.
But luckily for you, if you were a T-mobile customer in the past, and you did in fact use that Vibrant on their network, they will provide you the unlock code again.
For your reference
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml
"T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible former customers, provided that T-Mobile has such code or can obtain it from the manufacturer. "
Who knows though, might work, if you are willing to find someone to try it for you.

Yeah i am pretty sure the person who had the phone before wad with t mobile, so it should be fine. I just need someone who is with t mobile to call in for me since i am not with tmobile.

There was an app in the app store that'll give you the unlock code. That's how I unlocked mine. Check the market as it was a free app.

You don't need to even bother with that. Use this thread to fix the unlock. This will make it more permanent. Hopefully. It worked for me on two different devices. Cheers!

Thanks for the responses..
Yeah I unlocked my phone myself a month ago and for some reason It became locked again randomly. Dont know why... I just dont want to go through all that work again, and have it happen again... If I get the Sim Unlock code then it wont be a problem, and I can just put in the # again. When I originally tried to get the number through the SGS Unlocker it just gave me 8 zeros, so that method dident work.
The computer that I am using does not have all the drivers and crap and it is not my computer so I do not want to load everything on it.
If anyone with T-Mobile dosent mind calling for me that would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is you can't use the sim unlock code once you have gone through this process that they would send you. If you went through that process, then the code is whatever you set. If you don't remember what that number is, then you will have to do it all over again.

It is not that i do.not remember. I put in eight zeros in. But some everything was reset and it is locked again. I tried the eight zeros and it sosent work. I think i used a different nethod. I did not use the batch files. I used adb and edited the nv data. I am pretty sure if i were to get the sim unlock from t.mobile it will work. I dident choose 0000000 as a sim code it just told me to enter that in the instructions.

The problem is that number replaced the old msl. So you have no choice.

What do you mean Msl?

Msl = master subsidy lock aka unlock code

Network sim unlock pin tmousa?

I'm having a dispute with tmousa regarding them locking my phone to their network. I own my phone but put one of their prepaid sim cards in my phone. I guess they thought it was one of their phones and they locked my imei number to their network. Now for over a month I have been trying to get them to provide me with the network sim unlock pin so I can take my phone to another network but they're saying my phone has been modified and they can't find my imei number in their database so my phone is basically a brick now. They claimed they contacted HTC to get the number with no luck. Is there anything that I can possibly do now? Thanks.

IMO you should contact one of the ebay's unlockers and check if your IMEI is unlockable(it is cheap to unlock, about 2-5US$).

Did you give them imei number shown in the phone software (not the back)?

Wow thanks for the eBay tip! Just paid for the code so waiting for it now... I thought this was a different type of lock. I thought the Rom itself (tbd sense) unlocked the phone to other networks but I tried a wipe and re-flash and it was still locked so I should have asked the question sooner. Will post the result.

Also just so you know it was not the sim card you put in it that placed a lock on the device to just use T-Mobile. The lock was on the device from factory, all US cellular providers do this to all devices they sell. It is a effort by the providers to keep you from changing providers so easily. They figure if you have to buy another device to change providers you would not be so willing to change to another provider because it will hit you in the pocket book harder. It is a very under handed practice in my opinion and should not be illegal. We pay for ower devices and should be able to use them how we want and with what ever provider we want. But then again we live in the worlds greatest country right.......what a joke.

I have had an HD2 since they first arrived at T-Mobile. As stated, all phones in the US are carrier locked by default.
It was easy for me to have mine unlocked. I called T-Mobile and told them I would be traveling out of the country. I asked for the unlock, gave them my IMEI, and serial (maybe). That was all it took. I got a text message with the code.

used galaxy s4 won't activate

okay so i got the used galaxy s4 sprint from somebody, and it won't activate.
esn came up clean, but they said it won't activate due to some reason.
it' snot like someone is activated on that phone.
but the sprint told me that there is one weird thing he found.
when i go to about device > status > network says "samsung" not sprint
It might be an unlocked version. and i have no idea what that mean.
because sprint don have unlocked phone.
help me someone

I see that your phone number isn't programmed into the my number field and your MIN number isn't assigned either. I'm not on 3g at the moment so I don't know if the evdo rev a mode is the same mode as Sprint. Looks like you have a sim card in it because it's setting a tower. The phone's serial number needs to be programmed to your account and update the profile and prl and possibly needs the provisioning to be updated. A real Sprint employee could tell you what needs to be done correctly. I don't think unlocked phones, per se, run on evdo. That's odd that they can't give you a definite answer why they can't activate it. Take it to a different Sprint store.

Did you try doing a ##786# reset?

The phone might have been used on a prepaid service and was flashed.

Try a factory reset if it still won't activate take it to a sprint store.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium

2 things:
1) Flash the one click restore for Sprint and see if that fixes the carrier name.
2) If #1 doesn't fix the activation can you provide the error message?
Also, make sure the MEID matches between screen and back of the phone (behind battery).
If that doesn't that could also explain things.

I'm having the exact same problem. I was going to flash the phone to boost because sprint wouldn't activate, but I can't update the profile or prl. It when I try it just seems to activate hands free activation which fails.

How to get read of activation not completed message process? Due to such a kind advice on this board I got the phone to work with GSM and do not need Sprint service on it. Thanks

and nsnuyc
I would do what garwynn said double check the MEID inside the settings versus the tag located under the battery. Also confirm that the phone wasnt blacklisted after you purchased it. I have seen shady deals where you buy a clean esn phone as soon as you walk away with it the person calls Sprint on the spot and reports it lost/stolen. Where did you verify the MEID was clear directly through Sprint CS or a third party website like swappa or checkesnfree?

Unblock from T-Mobile?

I bought my phone used from a guy who said it was paid off. He even called T-Mobile to verify. I've been using the phone just fine for 3 weeks, but today my phone isn't working. It says phone not allowed for voice. I checked the IMEI number on swappa and it says it's on the whitelist, not blacklisted or reported stolen. But T-Mobile's site IMEI checker says the phone is blocked by T-Mobile and to contact them. I contacted them, but they need the original owner of the phone to call to get it unlocked. If it's a simple unlocking... can I just sim unlock using the guides here on xda to get the same result? Or do y'all think since it is associated with the IMEI number that it has to be cleared through T-Mobile's side of things too? I do not have T-Mobile but I have Mint Mobile who uses T-Mobile towers. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not aware of anyway to get the phone unblocked, as it's blocked by IMEI. I would try my best to get the original owner to call T-Mobile and give permission to unlock the phone from their service.

That's what I was afraid of... Well, I'm trying to get back in touch with him and get him to call. Thanks.

So when I run a blacklist check by IMEI number it says clean and on whitelist... Not on global blacklist. The only site that says it's blocked is TMobile. Does this mean it could potentially be used on another carrier? Obviously I would have to go through the process of flashing it to international rom and sim unlocking, but is there a chance that it would eventually be blacklisted completely? Or will TMobile simply only block it from being used on TMobile like it seems to be now?
