how to know if my artemis is CID locked or not ?

I bought it in a computer center and separately choosed an operator (Bouyguestel) to work with.
I have no SIM from any other operator to check if i can access to the network. (or i have to ask a friend for it tomorow !)
Is it possible to know that by only entering my IMEI in a specialised website ?
I want to flash my P3300 with WM6 and the latest ROMs.

CID and Network are totally different things. Your device might be SIM unlocked but CID locked and vice versa. If your device is SIM locked. You have to pay some money to unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked but CID locked, it does not matter. You can put any ROM on your device as long as it is alive.

As far as I know a device is ALWAYS CID Locked until you unlock it! and with the Artemis, the only way to do this is to pay some money to www.imei-check.co.uk so as long as you did not pay them to unlock the device it is CID-LOCKED.

Correct, listen to him if you like your phone.

Thanks all for your precisions.
So i just can update my OS Rom, but if i don't want to crash my artemis, i should unlock its CID before radio or other Rom update.

How to unlock T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 and use my local sim card in Turkey

Hey, I just bought a Tmobile Htc Hd2 in usa last week which has a sim lock, and I just want to learn how to unlock this phone and use my non-tmobile sim card. And the other thing is, If I am going to flash a new rom, what about the sim lock. Will it be unlocked by flashing a custom rom.
Thank you,

I used this ebay solution and it worked.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130377492375&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I check the link, but I don't know if they could do, I received an e-mail delivery failure.

Are you a TmoUS customer coz if so you will be able to unlock your phone from them. You just have yo request it.
If you are not a TmoUS customer you will be able to unlock your phone via using htccode.com, unlock-now.com, or others. There are a lot of unlockers on the web or at ebay if you like you just have to search for it. Google is your friend. Try searching for "HTC HD2 Unlocker."
Now if you already have the code unlocking the phone is easy. Insert your non TmoUS sim card ie. your Turkish sim card then power it on then the phone will recognize that the sim is not TmoUS and ask for a code. Just enter the code and your done.
Flashing the phone with custom ROM's will not unlock your phone.
Have a great day unlocking your phone.

Thanks for your reply, I already check too many unlock code services on net but I don't know which one is reliable? Any idea?

Try cellunlock.net it cost me 20 dollars and I got it the same day there is a cupon code i will try and get for you normal price is 40 cupon gives you 50% off
Code is berryscoop50, for those interested. it works I used it 4 days ago to unlock mine

ok for u all that want ur tmous hd2 unlocked the best way to do so is to call tmobile and if u hav an account and its in good standing to ask for the unlock code they will give it to u

Using Tmous in India
Hi,
i used cellunlock..
but tmous just released a Rom update..
1) you should ideally install the update first.. (it'll hard reset your peice)
2) Get you Imie by pressing *#06# on your phone
3) Send the Imie to cellunlock
4) then insert a local Sim card
5) It will ask for an unlock code..enter the code cellunlock gives you and Voila
Also.. when youre buying the code from cellunlock enter 'berryscoop' in the discount code to get 50 % off
Hope this helps

I called t-mobile to get min unlocked and 2 days later they e-mailed me the code. I tried the phone with ATT sim it worked fine..I need the code because I might go on vacation to middle east.

Is anyone willing [with a T-Mobile account] to ask for an unlock code for me if I provide my IMEI? I would really appreciate it.

Looking for the similar solution, but you do not need an account number. All you need is a copy of the invoice showing full retail price. If anyone is willing to share how the invoice is supposed to look like... I would delete all confidential information including the IME Number before posting the copy of the invoice. For those of us living outside US this is the only way to get this done.

Guys, use link from mingkee Tested this service many times even with HTC UK models. All codes from them work fine.

You will also have to register your phone with Turk Telcom or who ever you use. I took a US unlocked phone into Turkey a few years ago and was using a local sim card. Recieved text message from Turk Telcom that my phone would be disabled if it wasn't registered within a few days

hey guys for those who got theirs unlocked. what was the code made of ? how many numbers? any letters? how many digits total ? can you share an unlock code just so that i have an idea? thanks

I bought an TmoUS HTC HD2, i live in lebanon and i want to use it on the lebanese carriers sim, anyhow i flashed the phone to DFT Wp7 ROM ! everything is working fine ... i recieved the unlock code from t-mobile USA for unlocking the Sim, im following th instructions as the e-mail says and here how it's happening :
i insert my lebanese sim card
the phone asking for the unlock code, i insert the Code that T-mobile sent me
the phone says the Code is accepted and opens th WP7 home page, what im getting confused of is that the sim is still locked no network coverage and can't see any network coverage and if i go to the dial pad it asks for the sim unlock again :S ....
I just wanna knw is it becuase i flashed to WP7 maybe caused this or any radio or rom flashing problem .... !!?

Hello, I've the same problem in Turkey but my phone has Android. It still wants a SIM-lock-code... What can I do for Android-Tmob. Same as WM?

i got several phones sim-unlocked, all through ebay, most recent was a week ago. for those asking how it looked like: it's an eight digit number.

new update HD2 t-mobile 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1

Hi,
I bought a T-MOBILE HTC HD2 unlocked and use it with the chip carrier OI (in the city of Brasilia in Brazil), if I use the upgrade version 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1 available on the T-Mobile, it can block my only device for use on T-Mobile, or continued unlocked for all carriers.

For now, for personal reasons, I would try upgrading to the newer version is available at T-Mobile, but I'm afraid to lock the device to the other providers (eg HI I use currently). This possibility exists or can I upgrade and the unit will continue unlocked for all operators?
I appreciate any help.
Including how to put a new ROM in Portuguese, that is, if one exists. How is the procedure?
Pardon me if I'm posting in the wrong place or am doing something that is not in accordance with the rules of the forum. If you please notify me so I will not repeat the mistake.

i havent unlock and i dont want to lead u the wrong way but make sure your hd2 has hspl done allready and probably dont have to upgrade but the radio and u dont have to mess with the rom just my suggestion lol
sorry in advance u are allready hspl i think do ur research

it will be fine. changing the rom has no effect on sim/network lock.

Hi, I also have the t-Mobile HD2 & I unlocked it; but, I can't upgrade to T-Mobile's new ROM because it doesn't recognize my phone as a T-Mobile phone anymore. Is there a way around it in order to receive the new upgrade? The only thing I can think of is re-locking it to T-Mobile, upgrade, and then unlock it again. But that seems kinda crazy to me and where would I find the T-Mobile lock code. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

what does the red bit mean? do you mean when you enter your serial number into the t mobile website to get the update?
two things, firstly, thats very odd, normally when you unlock the network it has no effect on the rom lock. None at all. (Sure you are getting your serial correct? )
secondly, theres abound to be a mirror around here somewhere.

I have and unlocked Tmous HD2 that I mainly use in T-mobile network but when I travel to South America I use the phone with Movistar (Uruguay and Argentina sim cards). I updated the phone to 2.13 and it didn't lock the phone, the phone is still unlocked and the Movistar sim cards works just fine as they did before.
I hope this help you.

ok.
Okay folks, it worked, everything was right! Do not block my hd2! Many thanks to all.

[Q] What if I flash a foreign htc magic with the Rogers Eclair rom?

Hi! I have a HTC Magic 32A from Venezuela, the specifications are the same as the Rogers one, so I want to know if I have the manual update from Rogers, can I flash my venezuelan magic without problems? Is there any risk? I don't think so but I just want to know, as I said before, the hardware has then same especifications. Will be the phone locked just for Rogers sim cards? My phone is not unlocked, it just accepts sim cards from movilnet. Thanks!

u can do it w/o any problem. but at first u need to make a goldcard to bypass the CID check.

Unlock SIM Wildfire - still work after 2.2 FROYO ?!?

Hey.
Tommorow I am going to unlock my Wildfire .
My question : If I'm going to unlock it (not using my IMEI / not on the net) at a GSM-SHOP is it possible for me to upgrade it after this to Android 2.2 FROYO and still use it with other SIM ? Or will it be locked again in Vodafone ?
PLEASE help me ! ThanQ

If you use a GoldCard and flash a RRU unbranded i think this might just do the job for you not sure but mine was a RRU shipped rom and its unlocked.
