hi to all i have some question...
i am ITALIAN AND LIVE IN ITALY i have buy an Dell Streak from USA with lock from AT&T..
searching on internet i have found 2 mode for unlock it.
1) Rebel SIM II
2) some site and some seller on ebay sell a code for unlock the phone..
my question are:
1) if i root the phone and install a New ROM, maybe an Froyo 2.2, using Clockwork Recovery or Nandroid, the mobile the phone will be locked?
2) if i buy a code, and i upgrade the Version of Android, the phone will be unlocked?
3) if i buy a Rebel Sim, and i upgrade the version of Android, the Rebel work again?
and last
4) there is some other method for unlock the device? maybe without buy a code or Rebel SIM?
thanks to all

Yes if you unlock with code and upgrade, device will still be unlocked. And if it does relock somehow, just re-enter the code

If a phone is unlocked by the code, it remains unlocked for life... no matter what ever you try to do.... rooting.... modding.... any thing.
So dont worry and just push ahead with modding.

depends on firmware you have and you have diff options
v1.6 & 2.1 can use Rebel sim II with v1.2 for Full Usage but cant yet upgrade to 2.2 unless use dj steve no base band update for 2.2
v2.1 & 2.2 users can user special software from home to read out the unlock code and can upgrade to new Android OS in future

Hi,
I've bought an unlocked HTC HD2 T-Mobile and I'm planning to update the ROM.
And before proceeding I want to retrieve the unlocking code from the phone.
Is there any way?
Regards.
Sorry, you need to be more specific.
What unlocking code are talking about?

Are you worried about it being SIM locked after a ROM flash, is that why you need the code? Are you aware that flashing is independent of the ROM, thus it will not lock again?

Yes... this what I'm afraid of... T-Mobile USA has a new ROM update and I'm worried about SIM locked after the flash.
Thanks for helping.
(and sorry for the delay... some emergencies).

once unlocked it will not relock itself.. no worries.. as far as unlocking solutions I mused mobile in canada but I think you should e-mail them with the IMEI and see if they have a unlock code for it. what carrier was it locked to? that would help narrow it down

Yes! i unlocked my X10 with them cuz I couldn't unlock it anywhere else. Trust me, I've tried all of the online remote unlocking services. HTCCode has the cable unlocking method, for $40, it's not cheap but it's really worthed. I recommended it to a lot of my buddies here in the forum and all of it worked. I've been using my X10 for about 3 months without any problem now hope this helps.
I Flashed a TMobile Hd2 to Markinux HD eXTRA cLEAN
Now does that make it unlocked to other carriers?
Or do I still need to do something else?
Thanks ahead of time!

No it does not unlock your phone. You will need to call Tmobile and ask for unlock code. Also you can go to ebay and get unlock code from there...
No. your phone is still locked to the carrier, you have to unlock the phone with a code number, either from the carrier or buy one from online company.
Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks
Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck
thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?
No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.
quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running
I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone
I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?
Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.
I would love to know how to get the SIM locked code for unlock this mobile, I will be so glad if somebody help me

You just have to buy an unlock code, either through your operator or online. Ebay is your friend.

There is not way to find in some hidden files or in some text inside the Huawei? It has to be somewhere, I get unlocked my samsun galaxy mini on this way, so I only want to know in what folder and file find the code
There is a official rom that unclocks the phone but it is only for U8800 NON PRO
The only way to unlock U8800 pro is with a ulock code, I guess..
If you flash the official gingerbread it somehow unlocks it for the u8800-51

Yes, I got it, I installed b572 and it is unlocked, I made this since months, I can call and this and the phone is asking me the pin but is working, but when I upgrade to official ICS it is locked again and when I put my PIN it doesn´t connect, how can I fix that and to be all time unlocked?
It will only be unlocked while you are using b572. You can flash a custom rom over it and it is still going to be unclocked. But when you flash an update, when you change that b572 to another, it will lock again
