Is it possible to use a HD2[7] with At&t? If so what are the steps to take to sim unlock the phone? Im new to all of this... Any help would be appreciated.
I did it. I just bought an unlock code for around $20 and ten minutes later I got the code via email and unlocked it in Windows Mobile 6.5 before moving to Windows Phone 7. The phone tile says AT&T and I had to fill in the APN and that's it.
Ok. I still have a T-Mobile account and got them to send in a request for an unlock code so hopefully Ill have it in an email tomorrow. Ill revert back to 6.5 and give it a try, thanks.
Only bad thing when doing this.....Don't expect to get 3G access with HD2 on at&t. Well not if you have the TMobile branded one.
Another question, will it unlock if I try to unlock straight from the windows 7 rom because im not too confident about flashing back to windows 6.5 yet?
The T9193 came unlocked. And that's the only HD2 that really works properly on AT&T anyway, since the TMOUS one can't do 3G on AT&T...

i have a t mobile wing and would like to know how to unlock it so i may use my att sim in it full functional, im new here can sum one pplz help me out????
call to the tmobile customer service and ask for a unlock code , they will ask you for your imei and an email, and they will send the unlock code to you!!,
That only works if you have had T-mobile for at least 3 months and you have a post-paid account, i.e. not flexpay or T-mobile-to-go. And you can only do it once every 90 days, whether you get a different phone later or not.

Can anyone please help me how to Unlock HTC HD2 from T-mobile?
Search ebay for UNIVERSAL UNLOCK UNLOCKED TURBO SIM CARD SAMSUNG NOKIA it worked for me and its under £5 too
You can call T-mobile direct and there will charge you £15.
It's the best and the safest way a guaranteed code, but you have to be with T-Mobile at least more than one month.
Just to add to this thread, you have to use a Windows Mobile ROM to SIM unlock the HD2. This is due to the fact that only Windows Mobile ROMe can access the bootloader, the IPL of bootloader is where the actual sim lock for the device and where the changes will be made on the device. You enter the code into SIM manager to unlock it.
I have just bought a used htc hd2 from t-mobile which has android on it.How to unlock it as it asks for the unlock code when I put a different sim on it?
Just call Tmo.. tell them that you're traveling abroad and need to use your phone with different provider. They will give you the unlock code free of charge. Done that with mine about a year ago. And now those phones are not in their prime anymore, do not think that you'll have any problem unlocking it through Tmo.....
Tester.
If your HD2 is from T-Mobile US and you have a plan with them, just give them a call. It should be free to get the code.
If not there are many places online to get an unlock code. DO NOT pay more than $10 for it though.
EDIT: just noticed this thread is from Feb 2010...
Thanks for sharing..................
I currently have an HD2 running android from nand in the usa, and I use Family Mobile prepaid service (walmart subsidized but still tmo technically) since i got the phone just to get it going. This worked fine with my carrier locked phone, and now that I know I can get better coverage and a better data plan through AT&T I got an unlock code for my IMEI to sign up under their service.
I have a prepaid at&t sim from another number, but when I boot the phone with it in, it just says insert sim... it doesn't ask for the unlock code.
Through searching, I learned that I can run simlock.exe from winmo 6.5 to input the code, but doing a task 29 just to run one program seems sketchy, but it shouldn't affect my carrier unlocking when I restore my rom, correct?
How do I input my lock code? Is flashing a stock rom the only way? Is that an acceptable way? Should I stick the sim in while running winmo 6.5?
Thanks for your help ahead of time and I hope this helps anyone else wanting to unlock their phones if they are reading this.
Hello, i was wondering if theres a free way 2 unlock my htc hd2 so i can get virgin mobile on it? I heard if i put windows phone 7 on my hd2 it would unlock it, true? plz help Tyy!
Install Hspl. It will do it.
If you are a current T-Mobile customer you can get a free unlock code from them but you have to contact them and tell them you need a code because you want to use your HD2 with another carrier. If you are not a T-Mobile customer you will have to buy a code from one ofcthe many sellers on the internet.
Also HSPL only unlocks your HD2 so you can flash custom firmware/software to your HD2. It does not SIM unlock your HD2
about £12 on the high street.
If your going to Virgin UK, get a new sim from then as if you have a very old one it might not support hspda speeds (regardless of you phone showing that connection) it could be limited to 3G

I have an HTC Surround that is for AT&T, and I'm with T-Mobile. Is there anyway to unlock for T-Mobile? I was doing some looking around on the forums and I found that you can but I'm not to sure on how to do it. I had flashed a rom by ansar that had an unlock on it, but it didn't work. So would I have to get on pre-NoDo? If so could you link me the downloads and or give me some sort of tutorial that tells you hwo to do it, because I have yet to find any tutorial on unlocking the HTC Surround.
Thank you!
Call AT&T 800-331-0500
Give them a landline phone number or any other non-AT&T phone number so they don't try to associate the phone with an account.
Tell them you won the phone in a contest (I did, from Microsoft at a conference) or procured it in some other way than buying off ebay/craigslist/friend - this way they won't be able to ask what account it used to be on.
Tell them you want it SIM unlocked They'll "research it" and should get back to you with one in a couple weeks via email.
So once its sim unlocked, no matter what you do. Like upgrade or hard reset. The sim unlock remains?
