i just got the phone yesterday HTC HD2 and i got the unlock code for it so i can use at&t but when i tried to put the code it already said
you have tried 14 times, please wait until timeout...
do any of you guys know any solution..or anyway to put it in timeout
i know i searched the forum but no answer to it yet
please help if you can
thanks in advance
anybody? is there anyway to override this
you only get so many tries at entering a code. I dont know the exact number, i think it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, i think its usually around 7 times, then you have to wait (an hour maybe, perhaps longer) then you get some more goes, but if you get it wrong again it locks out for longer/permanently, unless you take it to a shop that can directly access it with a cable, and it will allow some more tries.
When i first read about this, on a different phone, about two years ago, it was 7 tries at entering through keypad, wait an hour, then 7 more tries then locked, plus 10 tries through the cable, then it was completely locked.
If you have any kind of receipt, you probably wanna kick up a fuss with the seller.
same problem
i've tried 19 times
i'm waiting 33 h now and it is impossible insert any code

hey guys, in a bit of a pickle here so would appreciate some advice.
Last week i called tmobile, and requested an unlock code for my mda and today ive finally recieved a letter with instructions to unlock.
I've followed them religiously, and yes the imei on the letter does match my own, so let's see :
1. Turn phone on with non tmobile sim (done with vodafone)
2. Phone will state network locked , enter the code : ********** which is a match for your imei
3. The phone will acknowledge the simlock is removed and then reboot your phone and it will be unlocked.
The problem is, that instead of lettting me enter the code right away , i get : You've tried 5 times - wait til timeout! and yet i dont recall ever trying more than once! :?: :?:
So i wait til the timeout (this was my 4th shot) and entered the code to find there isnt enough room in the character box to enter all digits of the code, i can only enter around 11 of the 14 of them.
So foolishly i thought meh, entered the entire code despite realising it wouldnt take the last 3 digits and then another shot wasted so now ive got You've Tried 5 times, and the timeout is like 10 minutes
I cannot afford to keep getting this wrong, and do not understand why this is not working. Anybody out there got any ideas:
This is the code (DONT TRY IT ON YOUR OWN MDA WITH FALSE HOPE, IT's IMEI GENERATED) i was just wondering if anyone could see why it wont take the full code:
0050486*** the last three stars dont fit into the simlock app box!
Really am desperate guys. On the bottom of the letter it mentions in smallprint (do not attempt to un simlock this phone more than three times) but as i havent, and yet it somehow clocks three attempts, it's not my fault!
Any help is much appreciated via post, PM or IM

Hey guys i'm new at this... But the topic here is the same as my problem. I've recently just got a SoftBank X01HT Jp Did the following as instructed -Downgrade-radio-ROM. All went well, after a few mistakes. But when i placed a sim it showed Simlock and mine shows you've tried 25 times. how long would that take? Is there another way? I tried waiting for 24 hours & still nothing. =(
Please help...
After sending off my second VarioII for the screen alignment issue to be fixed, instead of repairing it T-Mobile sent me a new device. I picked up the device from my local T-Mob shop, and started up the device. It went through it's normal boot up process then stopped with a screen saying that the 'Network is locked, please enter an unlock code'. In the top left hand corned the app name is displayed, it's called SimLock.
I've never had a lock on my SIM card, and it was exactly the same card that I had been using minutes early in a temporary replacement phone.
Anyway, T-Mob couldnt help me. They first gave me a 4 digit code to enter then an 8 digit PUK code, none of which worked. Also, each time I enter a number the time between tries becomes longer. I think there is also a limit (10?) on the number of tries before the SIM is rendered useless?
So, I think I will try the SIM in a replacement at the shop to check that's ok then I will ask for a replacement, cos' as far as I'm concerned it was broken when I received it, and I dont want to wait another 2 weeks for it to come back from repair.
Anyone else had this experience?

Hi PeekBee,
The SimLock program is the network lock HTC use. I might also be used to lock the phone to a single SIM card but I'm not sure if SimLock is used for that. It appears however that the phone you have been given as a replacement has the wrong security settings enabled.
Gav.
Thanks Gav,
After spending a great deal of time on the phone to T-Mob tech support they've finally agreed that they can't get around the issue and will ship out a new one. This will be my 4th Vario II!
Hi! I have a problem with my HD2. My phone is locked to orange and i want to use vodafone. In past i have entered 10 wrong codes for unlocking and now i see on display " You have tried 10 times, please wait until timeout... " How much time do i must to wait until i can insert the valid code from vodafone to remove simlock? I flashed my phone with official rom from HTC Europe "ROM Update for HTC HD2 (3.14.405.2)" also i flashed it with Radio 2.15.50.14. I know that i made a mistake when i have inserted 10 times the wrong code for unlocking. Now i don't konw how to fix this? Is anyone there who can help me?
Thanks!
don't know exact time but set device to stay awake (screen on) & also put it on a charger, then go to lock screen timeout & leave it for hours/days until you see code can be inserted.
Some people say counter only runs when device awake, some people have waited about 7 days before being able to enter code again.
Don't know how many wrong attempts can be made before unlocking is blocked ! 10 is pushing your luck a bit ...
I have connected my phone to charger and now i'l wait until will appear on display to insert the unlock code. It can be 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, also can be 1 year ) I told my problem to HTC help center but they told me to press volume up down and power to reset to default factory settings but it didn't work. Thank you Mister B!
Hello, i'm stucked in unlocking of my HD2 T8585, i was on Android, and i tryied the unlock code from phone company many times, then i googled and knew that i have to goback to wm 6.5, which i did, and now i can't put the unlock code it says : u tryed .... u need to waint until timeout or something like that.
What to do !!
thahts the problem, we dont know how many tries locks it, and for how long, because its different with different phones, and it also depends how many locks its had, some phones lock for an hour after ten tries, then a day after ten more, then permanently after so many more.
if there's a decent phone shop near you, see if they have the hardware cable available, that will override the soft lock.
Interesting that you say it failed under android, because there is some uncertainty as to whether it can be put in under android or not, , what version android are you running?
I bought a LS997 (Sprint) v20 that was supposed to be unlocked, it was not. I saw on these forums people posting SIM unlock success with LGSIMUNLOCK.COM so I figured it was worth a try since 13 dollars wasn't much. After 13 hours they sent me an email saying my model was "super encrypted" version of the phone and they would need an additional 13 from me in order to bribe the carrier, I guess. I obliged and provided the extra money. About 18 hours into the order they sent me an 8 digit code and an apk to download that was labeled Network Unlock. I followed their instructions to a T at least 20 times with no luck and emailed back saying nothing was changing. They assured me they have a 100% success rate and that it must be my fault for having a custom ROM, which I don't by any means because it was an OTA update for one, and for two my second screen still worked... So I was unhappy after a few emails back and forth they decided they would send in for a new Unlock Code, while in the mean time k started doing research to find out that Sprints codes usually consist of 6 letters and not 8 nor do they require random unlock .apks. At that point I started trouble shooting the apk they sent me, I uninstalled and reinstalled about a few times and tried 00000000 on the network, and the app reacted exactly the same way saying my device was "Permanently Unlocked", interesting.... So then I took the phone off of wifi with no network attachment and tried a 0000 four digit random unlock code and the app still acted like it was connecting the network which was impossible since I had no connection and STILL tried to get me to believe that my phone had been permenantley unlocked. At this point I'm ready to call this website a scam and it's been a week since I returned the phone and requested a full refund and they are still telling me to remain patient that when Sprint is done updating their network or website they well return a working code for me that I don't even need anymore. Do not use this website unless you have 15-30 dollars you are ready to part with for no reason..
Gentlemens, keep in mind, lgsimunlock - scammers!
for $ 13 undertook to unlock the H-830 (unlock app) with clean imei-esn, as a result, after an "unsuccessful attempt",
on the demand for a refund of money, it is written that they sent the request to the operator. Already passed more than 35 days! the result is a loss of money.
Be careful.
lgsimunlock.com fraudulent website
Same situation, Be patient! Don't order, just will get 8 digit number that works only with their "app" to get a permanent unlock. However after you restart the phone it is still locked. The only way is to open a dispute on PayPal and nearly 50% of success that you will get your money back.
