Touch HD unlock code

Anyone got this with instructions since many websites are selling it!

Can you help me unlock (CID and SIM) my Touch HD?
Thank you for you advice in advance.

unfortunately not yet free,you are going to have to dish out some dosh to line XDA's wallet

I recently bought an Orange Touch HD and am on O2.
Someone is selling unlock codes on eBay for £16 or best offer. I offered £12 and got a counter offer of £14 which I accepted.
All you do is insert a SIM for a network which is locked, and the HD will ask you for an unlock code.
Pop in your 8 digit code (I had to type it in twice) and the device is unlocked. SIMPLE!

I ended up using HTCCODE ,recommended by an xda senior member ,it was a great service and I got the code in less 5mins.I think I paid 16 pounds.

i UNLOCKED MY ORANGE htc touch hd , the day I got the phone last week! got the code from htccodes , paid 18euros which is nearly £18! the pound has really got weak .
put a old contract t-mobile sim in the phones entered the unlock code , twice , you shouldn't enter it more than twice as it could mess up! was unloced quickly and easily .
Now I have installed software on it , al i need is sat nav prog , any1 know which is the best , and works well with the touch hd.

this isn't the iphone you know, it doesn't need unlocking before you can install programs on it

i also used htc codes. excellent service via msn, answered me at 730 in the morning and had my phone unlocked within ten minutes!

I used http://www.unlock-now.com/, as I did before with my Elf, and have always had exceptional service. Entirely recommended.

The code is IMEI related. The codefor one phone will not unlock another.

IMEI number problem...
Hi, sorry to reopen an old thread but i didn't think adding yet another unlock thread would be any better!
I'm just out of contract with Orange UK and will be moving to O2, well actually GiffGaff now since i've just discovered it but that's beside the point!
Anyway, obviously i need to unlock my phone first, however, i see this is done by using your IMEI and buying a code but I'm not sure which IMEI is the right one.
I've had the phone repaired 2/3 times and each time i've had a letter saying the IMEI has changed but when i dial *#06# i get one number, but the most recent number listed after it's repair doesn't match, neither do any of the old ones including the one behind the battery and on my original box.
I don't want to brick the phone by using the wrong one!
I even had trouble when i phoned HTC ages ago for one of the repairs, none of the IMEIs were recognised or something.
Any advice?

Hi, so i eventually noticed i was being a bit stupid and my IMEI after *#06# IS the same as the one behind the battery, but with 01 added at the end!
So i ordered an unlock code from an ebay seller and was told;
"Unfortunately we have not been able to calculate the code for your imei as your phone has the latest security and can not be unlocked using this service. we have sent you a mutual agreement not to carry out transaction. Please agree to it and we will issue full refund. If you still wish to Unlock your phone please have a look at this Item number: 110559753460"
The other item is just a more expensive unlock for newer devices i think, no response yet on whether they can get me a code at all if i were to buy the other item.
So, OK, maybe i should have used the unlock site mentioned somewhere on here but i tried to save some cash, sue me
Anyway, is the seller just talking cr*p or could the repairs and IMEI changes have caused my phone to have different security or something?!
I know i've not contributed to the forum a lot or anything but i'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.

thanks vijay555, just done the same, well worth £15.00

Unlock x10

I am searching for a method to unlock the x10 but i can cat the right method.
For the unbrand method ( by flash another firmware ) i cant find the dutch rom.
At the other program i must by credits over a paypall acount but i dont have paypall and the unlock must be done as soon as possible.
So what is the best and the fastest way to unlock the x10i branded from HI in holland?
( sorry for my bad english but as you can see i am from holland )

You can unbrand it.
Unbranded dutch rom can be found here
But you should know that unbranding your device doesn't unlock it. So you still won't be able to use non-Hi/KPN sim-cards.
If you do want to unlock you can buy the unlock code from Hi, but that'll cost you €68,- i believe.

I used unlocking.com and paid £19.99 and got my unlock code in approx 24hrs and it worked fine...

I thought unbranding remove the simlock
I cannot contact HI about it becouse i dont have a HI number. I chance the x10 fore my vivaz pro and not the numbers.
The only way to unlock the x10 is to order a unlock code and wait for a couple of days?

After a week waiting for unlocking.com to get my unlock code, I got nervous and went to htccode.com for it. Surprisingly, this guy did it in 10 minutes, so I really recommend the service in there. A bit pricey (40$), but definitely worth it. Nice support, and really fast. Comparing it to a week of waiting and asking to support service what the hell was going on, it's definitely worth the price.
Regards!

I am trying to get unlock code for my new X10a (Rogers). I tried from ebay and again yesterday from http://www.cellunlocker.net/. Both took about a day each and sent message saying there is no unlock code for my IMEI. Do newer Roger phones take time to get unlock code? I am now worried. The phone is brand new and I opened it. It's clearly Rogers branded.

I was able to unlock my Rogers phone for $15 or so. I did it a month ago, so the fix is out there.

From which place?

My xperia x10 was locked to orange. I did a lot of research and like so many ppl i placed an order at unlocking com. After waiting for 8-10 days, they replied that the code couldnt be found. Out of options i tried htccode To be true i was a bit afraid by reading lot of bad stuff about htccode. But in the end it worked pretty well. During the whole process i was in touch with the support rep and effectively it took only 5-10 mins to complete the process. I know the price is a bit high 40USD but in my opinion it is worth spending.
PS: The views expressed in this post are of author's only. I am not advertising htccode neither do i have any affiliation with them.
Cheers!

I am not willing to spend over $10 . Anway, the Locked Rogers X10a I have right now is in Black and I really don't like it as much as I like my white X10i. So, ordered an unlocked White X10a this time and will sell my black X10a if I can't get it unlocked in a week or so. If I can get it to unlock I might just use it and give the white X10a to my wife.

How sketchy are the ebay unlockers?

I have not ever done this before, but I found this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/UNLOCK-Code-AT-...Accessories&hash=item1c138c9851#ht_4764wt_913
I was wondering if any of these are legit or do they all fall into the realm of too good to be true. I have called at&t and they stated that I could not have an unlock code so that is why I am going down this route, if it turns out to be legit.
Anyway I welcome your feedback about what may be just a dumbass question, LOL.
p.s. the only reason I am looking at this guy's page is that he has +50000 reviews with 99.8% quality.

my one experience with an ebay unlock code was it bricked the phone I was using. After doing further research I found that this was a constant for that phone. I have not seen any posts about unlocking an Aria yet but I also have not been looking for them since I am on AT&T so there is no need to unlock the phone for a different carrier currently.

that's the same guy i used to unlock 3 at&t phone. i never had a problem

If you are going out of the country then call att and tell them that. they will give you your unlock code for free all youll have to do is get a different (Non att) sim.

They changed that policy. Now you have to wait for your contract to run out before they will unlock your phone, even if you tell them you're traveling. I tried calling them and having them unlock it, and that's what they told me. I was really disappointed too, because they've unlocked my phone before and never gave me any trouble because of the contract.
Maybe if I had threatened to unlock it anyhow, I might have had better luck– but I doubt it.

Ya I tried calling them too. Told them my situation and it was denied. I guess I will try this guy. At the most I am out 10 bucks.

Strange, I just re-upped my contract when buying my Aria, and unlocked my phone with the code from ATT tech support for free. I do go internation a few times/year, so that may be a flag that I am not entirely lying, but it was no problem. Also, I used chat, instead of phone...they gave the my code in 10 seconds.

So I took the plunge. Fast service from this guy. Bought yesterday and got today. Went by t-mobile store and borrowed a sim. Put in unlock code and let me in the system. Rebooted to verify with t-mobile sim. Did not ask for code the second time.
Altogether happy. Me -$13.00. Phone unlocked.
Buyer beware. Cannot guarantee same results.

I also used blowfish06 to try and unlock my HTC Aria. He couldn't unlock it for whatever reason and immediately refunded my money. I'd use him again.

just curious so please forgive me but how did that go, you walked into store..umm, can I borrow a sim ? they just hand them out to try out ?
I spoke with ATT tech (actually chat and then called to verify..) and they said they will give unlock code in 90 days from day of activation, no problem on their part, no cost.

i'm curious about all this too and still with a locked HTC Aria.
I went to the ebay link and read everything.
At some point it says:
"...be advised I cannot do refunds if phone asking for a PIN (personal code) which is password set on the phone (?)"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well if this is my phone and I have the personal password, then I might have it.
When inserting a SIM card the phone says:
"SIM network unlock PIN", SOOOOO, I don't get it... will write the guy an email about it and hear what he says about it...
Eager to unlock this phone!

So..
1. I have heard various things from people regarding what AT&T will do for them. I would call them first and if they will unlock it for you then great. I spoke to them and they would not give it to me and told me that they had an exclusive right to the phone for the foreseeable future.
2. I did just walk into the t-mobile store and ask for a sim. The girl looked at me puzzled and said they are 20 bucks. I told here I need it for five seconds to unlock my phone. She said that Phones don't do that. I said that I have the code. She gave me a used sim.
In conclusion I think that I did go searching for a credible way to do this. I don't want a million people telling me what at&t's policy is since I did call them though. At any rate I did unlock my phone so I am good.

May I ask you and if you remember what was the message the phone displayed before you unlock it with the t-moblie SIM card?
It was the message "SIM network unlock PIN" or what did it say?
I believe what you did, I've done certain type of things in past, walking into a store and asking for those sort of things... lol... great that it worked!

Ya it was something like "SIM NETWORK UNLOCK" not a personal unlock and I had to put in the 8 digit unlock code I bought off ebay. The previous post of mine was just about all the people stating all the AT&T policies that they have heard of and asking why I didn't just call them when I stated in my first post that I did. Also ya social engineering worked great there as they gave me some old sim to use they they found in a desk that didn't work but had a different network ID on it so it would prompt me for the SIM UNLOCK code.

seems then that I 'm having the same message, will try buying a code from the ebay guy then.
thanks a lot for your response.
PS. Calling AT&T wont work for me either as I bought the phone through ebay and I have not and will never have AT&T phone # or something to just simply call them and say 'hey I bought one of your phones over ebay, would you please give me the unlock code?' lol...

just bought a code from the ebay seller... will see how it develops and if the code works.
I will post results and everything related once I have the code

universal Sim
I have tried a few online sellers and they say a code is not available for my aria. Bummer, hopefully that will change. I remembered I had one of those universal sim chips like a Rebel Sim. I sort of works. Sometimes when I turn the phone on I can manually choose the network and get service, but most of the time it won't connect. Maybe I can buy a newer version of the universal sim.

Well dude, I got to say that the ebay deal really worked for me!!! Couldn't be more happy!
Was a little skeptical about it but just got the code on the email minutes ago and worked right away!!!
Cost me 9.95 because the price was reduced and paid with PayPal. Bought it in the morning and got the code minutes ago.
There's another ebay seller with the same price/offer which seems to work too (good feedback too)

Thanks to breakeven and xda-developers forum!!!

I decided to test this out today for fun.
I tried 3 different ebay unlockers (all were rated as top-sellers) and all 3 were unable to unlock my off-contract Aria (from Amazon). They did, however, offer to try on another server, at around 2-3x the original cost, which I refused and was refunded my money.
I really don't care if my Aria can be unlocked since I have no intention of leaving AT&T anyway, but I thought I'd share MY experience with the rest of you. YOUR experience may vary.
On a side note, I unlocked 2 different models of Blackberry (again, just for fun) a few days ago using one of those ebay sellers with no problem. So I wouldn't worry too much about getting ripped off (as long as they are top rated sellers).

hey tongas would you mind telling us which ebay seller unlocked you Aria?
Thanks

Unsimlock HTC Hero

Hi everyone
I just spent more than 2 hours to search about how to unsimlock my htc hero. Just found useless stuff about buying code or making "goldcards".
I want to unsimlock it PERMANENTLY and without buying a f**cking 15 or 17 or 20 or 37$ unlock code
I want it to be exactly like a normal phone.
So here's my question : just is that possible? and if so, how?
Thanks

Already done. I flashed the last bootloader, the last recovery (amon RA) and I installed VillainROM 13 but when I start the phone, it asks me a code to unlock the network after I insert my PIN code.

As I said, I want to find a way to do that for FREE
My question is : is there such a way?

There are no free lunches. I have just paid twelve bucks to unlock mine... Let's see if they can get the code :O

I had the same issue with unlocking the T-Mobile G2 Touch (aka HTC Hero G2) and managed to get the code free of charge from T-Mobile.
I wrote to their Subsidy Pin Team, and gave them the Make, Model, IMEI of the phone, along with my name, phone number, email and home address.
Did help though cos I found a post of 3G.co.uk which I referred to in my letter to them.
Worked for me, may work for you....

had the same problem ..I live in Tunisia I cant buy the code even if i wanted sooo .. roting the phone is not enough .. I used goldcard method including downgrading to 1.5 official HTC rom .. then it worked
hope i was helpful

G2 Touch Only
I have a second hand G2 touch and managed to get the unlock code from T-Mobile for free. Some places do it for as little as a tenner but unfortunately you do need a code to unlock it (Even the phone shops do it by entering the code these days I believe).

HD2 sim unlock ( PB81120 t8585 t9193 )

I'm making this thread simply because I searched and searched and there was nothing for free like in the days of the htc kaiser/raphael, hadn't used my hd2 for a long time and decided to give it to my dad, since he's too cheap to get a good phone lol, and I have 2 hd2s decided to hook him up.
Now after searching here for it, people mostly sent you to htcunlock and some similar others which are still charging $20 US dolars to unlock a 3 year old phone, well I found a listing on ebay and even though a bit skeptical I decided to give it a try since it was only $3.72 with shipping charge, got my unlock code within a few hrs, flashed winmo 6.5(talk about a blast from the past) and put the code in and done, tested it on AT&T and working fine. I just sent the info for my 2nd hd2 so I can unlock that one also. :good:
Here's the link for the people that still use it or the new comers that bought it second hand looking to unlock.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151003769254?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
it was brought to my attention that this won't work with Orange, but like anything else here at XDA , try at your own risk, if it doesn't work you're only out a few bucks .

Nice advertising.
Otherwise, word of advice, BEWARE of HD2's from certain mobile operators(f.e. Orange) as unlock codes WILL NOT WORK. The only option for unlocking those devices are original Orange codes(which cost a lot) or XTClip/cracking boxes

be safe and get and original unlock code from Orange. or buy a prepaid phone since your father is so cheap. where im from you can get one for 18 dollar with 18 dollar credit

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding but I thought all hd2 unlocked the same, I have US T-Mobile hd2s, for both already unlocked for $7.44 with this service, I figured that the models listed in the ad could be unlocked the same way. I'll edit the title when I get home.

Had quite a bit of trouble with cheaper unlocking not working on many providers. Pay a little more for decent source of original codes or HTC database codes or get it unlocked via a local decent mobile shop as not too expensive these days.

Yeah I hear you but since I no longer use the phones, I found a good cheap source which worked fine, I paid $7.44 US and got both my hd2s Sim unlocked. I don't think you can get any better than that. I posted this to show people a cheap alternative to paying lots more, if anyone uses this and it doesn't work, they're out what cost to get a bag of chips and a soda!
RoloRacer on RootBox Nexus 10

Supersize that order & you get hassle free full unlock.
Can be lucky with cheap codes but I had too many failures with eBay codes ...
