hi guys
iv just bought a wildfire and it locked for 3 mobile UK
can i unlock it for free ??
by the way i am not in the UK any more and i need ti unlock it as fast as passable
thnx
1-) Root the phone by unrevoked. Just go to their site, http://unrevoked.com. Just do a search on the forums for more info.
2-) create a goldcard. you can do it manually. Search for the manual way as there are many posts on that.
3-) Download a wwe rom for your wildfire.Link to wwe rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz...189_signed.exe.
4-) Turn off your phone. Power your phone while holding volume down and power button. This will get you to the bootloader. Pick fast usb and start the RUU on your computer and let it install the new rom on your phone.
Hope this works for you.
I think he meant network unlock, not rooting/flashing.
Hi,
I too have a new HTC wildfire network locked to Vodafone UK. I need to use another service provider sim in this phone. Can someone help me unlocking this? I know vodafone can unlock this for 20 pounds, but can this be done without spending so much?
Thanks
Goldcard + Official RUU = Unlocked/Unbranded wildfire?
Hi there,guys! I tried to unlock my phone with advice put above, step by step...but my phone is still locked....
Anyone has succed?
Debranding is NOT the same as unlocking.
So, guys, as i see, there is no way to unlock wildfire, just by flashing it. I'm right?
Maybe there is some flash to comletly remove the locking state?! (network lock)
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Best regards.
There is not any free way to unlock Wildfire. You have to get an unlocking code and put it into your phone.
Contact your carrier as they may offer free or cheap unlocking

http://www.htcsimunlock.com/htc-sim-unlock.html
15 dollars
so , there actually isn't any way to get the code for free?? i've heard that some guy unlocked his ZTE Racer for free in like five minutes... why should this be any harder... bloody code! i've spent last two days searching the web for it... and i couldn't find the free one...
P.S. I'm from Serbia, so i can't use PayPal, and stuff like that... not any time soon...
but in stores, here in Belgrade, they want 30-35 euros, for a freakin' unlock code! it's nuts!

Ni kod babe nema dzabe , if 30€ is too much for you (obviously it is) then go for 16$ on htcsimunlock web site. If PayPal doesn't work for you you have alternative ways of payment there: CREDIT CARD online now, CREDIT CARD by FAX, CREDIT CARD by PHONE, CHECK/CHEQUE with Proforma Invoice.
There is no public open way of doing unlock for free for HTC Widfire so far and you have two choices: keep it locked on current provider or pay for unlocking.
There is a free method for the Desire. Im saying there problably is a way to do it but noone has found it yet.
This is for desire but works for wildfire too

For some people it just took a few tries, it can't brick your phone so theres no harm in trying

I used cellunlock.net to unlock my canadian Virgin Legend, took 50mins to get my code, only CAD$20 (less than USD$20!)
I used crackb50 coupon code to bring it down to CAD$10
Edit: It looks like they only unlock canadian Virgin/Bell Legend and now charge $30 - 50% = CAD$15
why posting in dev forum
Ya it can be done easily via codes.I suggest you to use the code.Because this is the easy method of unlocking compare to others.If you need an unlocking service, simply get it from wickedunlock.com .Here i found the valid service.Through this you can unlock your mobile easily.
How much does it cost to unlock there?
Go look for yourself ;-)

And you're totally not affiliated with that site in any respect, now are you?
Hi, im new to these forums but after much searching i have been unable to answer my question.
I would like to purchase a Wildfire for my wife prefered in white. The only reasonably priced one is from Tesco mobile on pay as you go for £179.00
My wife is currently on Orange and changing providers is not an option.
I have read how it may be possible to unlock the phone using codes, but what about the braning on the phone will i be able to remove this? Also if i have to install a factory configured ROM surely this will also remove the simlock too?
I have also read that the phones from Tesco are not always sim locked and wondered if anyone had any experience of this?
The phone is also avaliable from vodaphone for £126 but i know 100% this is sim locked and branded, so the Tesco phone could work out better if no unlock or debranding is required.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks again!
It's possible to unlock the phone to any carrier, it'll cost about 15 pounds. To unbrand it you'll have to install the ruu from htc, there are links somewhere in the forum.

Dear all friend,
Hope you are doing fine.
Could you help me about :
1 - Which website is the best price to unlock htd hd2 T-mobile ?
2 - Can be Trust ?
Jame_2d
Why??
Why would you want to do that?
You can do everything right here in XDA, as long as you stick to the instructions posted everywhere
And it's free!!!!
I unlocked mine on eBay, it was rly cheap I think 7-8$. It is the best option imo.
Edit: he was asking about sim unlocking, that is not free and newer will be!

I think that the OP is refering to SIM unlocking the phone - it is, as yet, not free (except if the telecom operator gives it out for free).
If possible call the carrier, if you are a customer, and tell them you are going overseas and need it unlocked. 2 days later you should get an email finalizing the deal. Otherwise have a friend on the carrier call in for you

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
Root your phone

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.
Used unlocking .com for my wife hero bought in UK and locked on orange. 15 bucks and delivered in 12 he's. Was easy

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).
hi all, ive been lurking this site for ages, and thought this would be a good place to start my first thread.
basically, i bought a second hand htc hero that is locked to 3 UK. its running android 2.1update1. basically, i would like it unlocked and a bonus would be to put another rom on there. i dont see why i should pay £20 odd to get it unlocked if i can do it free.
any advice/tutorials on how to do it? bearing in mind its 3 UK? i didnt know if different unlocks work on different networks on this phone. im a noob with android, i have this and my hd7 (which i love, just wish it werent so restricted lol)
any help would be great, i know this device is getting on a bit but i still think its a great phone and would love to be able to use on o2 uk and tesco uk.
thanks a bunch!
