Hello all. I got a TMobile Wing from US (I'm from South America), but it's SIM Unlocked.
Anyone knows where can I get a "unlock code key generator" where I can input my IMEI and it gives me my SIM Unlock Code!???
I'm not willing to pay U$ 35!!!!!!!!!, because the phone already cost me a fortune here.
After reading the WIKI, I saw that at this point there's no way (except paying to some obscure website) to unlock the wing.
My points are:
1) How hard can It be to unlock it, because:
1) the website can do that, and I'm pretty sure they're not using the official way.
2) I only need SIM unlock. When I use my SIM card, it asks for an unlock code. I'm assuming that the unlock code is a function of my IMEI number.
If there are code generators for other HTC models, how different the algorithm can be? And, of course, the guys from that website most probably have broke it.
3) I used to crack 68k code long time ago on my Commodore Amiga. Is there any emulator or something? A debugger like softice? Who's working on the unlock code generator? Can I help?
I've been going thru the herald forums for months now, and I have yet to hear of anyone being able to bypass SIM lock on the herald ...
I'm sure if you could figure out how to unlock, it would be much appreciated by the whole community.
i second that.... hope you find a way man... because ive been itching to get my wing working... 35 dollars for a code? that would be too much... some say they can get it from t-mobile for free, you just have to contact them... the problem with our situation (yes i bought mine from ebay also), we do not have a contract with them. i tried it already and they were not willing to help unless i am the subscriber myself asking for the unlocking. i tried contacting the person i bought my phone from but i got no answer.

I was Olipro's tester for his hard-spl, and after it was done, my O2 terra was sim unlocked.
I have no idea how it happened, though
mates any one can help me out to unlock mda on t mobile uk any free soultion plz share ,i flash twice but couldnot unlock the fone this phone really give me hard time ,looking forwerd for soulotion thanx
seriously, people do not search anymore There are a billion threads on SIM Unlocking in this forum (sorry for the exageration ;P) on the first page i already counted 3 without having to scroll or search for a long time... but whatever:
there is NO FREE SOLUTION known, some people have the possibility to unlock this phone, they offer their service (which is also not free) in various threads here and of course you can always pay the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Pay with credit card and you instantly get your unlock code, works fine, tested it myself.
qaziomer:
do you want cid unlock or sim unlock.
what are you trying to do? what is your goal?
regards,

Hello guys,
Does anyone know if the turbo sim will bypass the sim lock on the htc tattoo?
if you have it try it and tell us, but if you don't i would recommend you to unlock it via imei preferable.
Flashing Won't remove CID lock
Hi
I have tried several methods on here to change from my UK Orange branded Tattoo.
I purchased an unlock code, but this was just based on the IMEI from HTC & didn't allow me to use any other sim.
Orange have really butchered the software to stop you using a different network.
I have managed to remove the Orange branding & got back the standard HTC apps.
However the Orange CID (customer ID) still remains & prevents any other sim being used. Even with the HTC software the APN is still greyed out.
Eventually I bought an I-sim2008, a few websites have them but I chose ebay.
With this underneath my sim it bypasses the CID check & allows me to use a different sim card.
Many people have claimed to use the phone with a different sim, but this is the only method I have found to work, I have spent about a week non-stop flashing, I now believe the only way to remove the CID would be on a rooted device with a custom ROM image.
Hope this helps a bit?
Up to now there is no development on the root or rom side, either not many people have the Tattoo or they dont' think it's worth while doing.....
Lets keep our fingers crossed.....

Codes for Orange UK have been a problem. The codes are correct but you need to flash the right rom.
The Italian locked Tattoo's don't have any problem with regard to unlocking.

Thanks for the heads up dude. Have you tried to enter the code after flashing the rom?still no good?Well, Ive seen a good place on the web where I can get a I-smartsim 2008 and its much cheaper than buying the code.

So ferraripassion you assure me that if I flash the ROM, the code will work?
Ive been in touch with htccode and their prices are really good (compared to others on the web) but problem is that they do not have a money back policy in case the code doesnt work. From the various reviews Ive read here and there, I dnt think I should invest in something that might not work when I have the I-smartsim.
On the other hand there is unlock-now, their prices are a bit higher but they assure me a money back in case that their code does not work on my mobile. I think Ill give it a shot. I have nothing to lose, if it works Ill be very happy if it doesnt ill have my money back
Well, thank for your comments guys. Have a merry christmas 2009 and a happy new year 2010
Cheers

It worked for me, bought the code in htccode.com, flashed my device and everything ok.
MiSSigNNo when you enter HBOOt, do you have an option <simlock>?

What would the correct ROM be for one on Orange UK?
I have used the RUU Click HTC WWE 1.67.405.6 WWE release signed NoDriver.rar from their website & am still having problems getting any other sim card to work.
As mentioned in my last post, I have been trying for about a week to get it working.
@yash08: I have this option, but when I tried to use it I got an error about files missing of the mem card?
@jusumgeezer: Am no expert, really and I might be completely wrong on this, but from what ive understood is that tattoo's not from orange uk dont have this <simlock> option, and orange uk does. Might this be why we cant use an imei generated code? Must we unlock this some other way?
By the way, I flashed and bought the code and it does not work neither!
Same as me then, got rid of the orange branded rubbish & got all the HTC stuff back, but still need the i-sim2008 to use another sim card. Otherwise it just gets stuck on the "unlocking Sim Card" screen or the APN is greyed out.
Well on my side I am very satisfied with unlock-now.com service. As soon as I supplied a video proving that the code didnt work, I got a refund without any hassle. Was like a knife in butter . They are very professional, I recommend their service to anyone.
Now I am just waiting for the I-SmartSim 2008 to be delivered. If this can be of any help to anyone, I bought it from here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12167.
Hey guys are there any developments on unlocking Tattoo from Orange UK, it's been more than a week that i got the phone and i still can't use it, it's driving me crazy.
Nobody knows what should flash ROM code to take HTC Tattoo Orange UK?
The only solution is as per the link above, that is how I got my Orange phone to work. It is the only known solution to date even though it is just a workaround and far cheaper than an unlock code.

Code I have already paid. And the phone for sale, it will be difficult to explain why the client needs turbosim.
Hello
Could You tell me please which ROM should i use to unlock this handset? I've got the code...
I've tried:
r2-mcr-tattoo-withadditions-signed.zip
Says "network unlock success" but still not working
and this one:
fyodor-TattooROM_v0.5.3.1.zip
Says "network unlock success" but after this freezed on "Unlocking SIM card" for around 20 mins and I'm still waiting...
Any advices?
Thank You
hi guys,
i just want to know if the i-smartsim is the only thing needed to unlock the device or will i have to buy an unlock code as well?
If i choose this phone, it will be locked on Orange Fr network.
Thanks for your help.
Well the ismartsim is no more needed. If you get the last ROM update from Orange, you will be able to remove the simlock with a imei based code.
And to answer your question, no you dont need to buy a code if you use the ismartsim but as I said you can unblock your phone with the code now.
Ok, thank you.
I've order both the phone and the ismartsim (just in case )
I bought what i think to be a soft bricked unlocked atrix, I by watching U Tube instructional videos managed to do a system recovery back to factory default, bypass motoblur, and root, now it works great, I was under the impression unlocked meant I could use ANY SIM card...Net 10 doesnt work, I searched the internet and cant find any instructions on how to tweek it to make it work...Does anyone know How to make it work...??.
I have found instructions only for straight Talk...which is still like a monthly plan... dont want that...
Thanks:

You need to find out if you're phone is sim unlocked. When we talk unlocked here, were talking about bootloader unlocked which allows us to install custom roms. It has nothing to do using different sims.
Google sim unlock. There are some pay sites out there that do it I think for a fee. Other options would be to call the carrier the phone was originally on or to call your carrier to see if they can help.
It sounds like you unlocked the bootloader, while that is something that is needed for modding an ATRIX. It is not the right "unlock" needed to utilize another carriers sim.. if its an att branded ATRIX then u can jump on att's support site and chat with a techie to acquire an unlock code and they should be able to walk you through the process.. im sorry i cant link any threads right now im at work on my phone

Wouldn't it be easier to just connect it to a hotspot? That's what I do with my boy's tablet.
By the way how long have you had the tablet? If you've had it long enough it may be eligible for a free unlock.

no mate because i still cant put a sim in it that way i will ask voda though... they were not too helpful last time
