Hi Guys,
This morning I installed my firts custom rom for my X8 -[ROM] X8 | Sense | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | xRecovery [WiP]
Hackdroid 2.2.1
I was then asked for a SIM Network Unlock PIN.
Are there any working roms for the X8 that are already unlocked to different carriers?
Cheers

Sim Network Unlock Pin has nothing to do with the roms.. You need to unlock your phone, so this warning could disappear..
Correct me if I'm wrong.. xD
(sorry for my bad english)
You can't unlock your phone by installing ROMs,network lock is in bootloader,and it isn't cracked yet.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. My phone works fine with se version 2.1 after installing this rom it asks for the network code. so, I reinstalled from my backup and my phone works again. If I understand what you have written, my phone wouldn't work even with the original android.
it happened to me too but i pressed cancel and everything works
every one waiting for you geohatz

You gave me the idea of trying again. Second time I installed the rom, i pressed cancelled it and the call functions worked.
On a more trivial note - angry birds won't install.
help needed
i got a SE on 2.1, sim locked to vodaphone, how can i remove the lock/.. i need help ..
sorry.... you can´t for now for free, only paid sites can provide you that code based on your IMEI i think... or wait while someone crack the bootloader (i dont think its gonna be soon )
just a quicky....i just solved the problem, by switching of the device, took out the battery, the sim card...waited for about 10 secs.....put the sim back in, the batteri and started up the device....e voila....no Sim Network Unlock Pin question anymore...hope it helps!!!
There is no need to take out battery and wait and all that ****, press the dismiss button.
@geko, why you digging up old threads?
Sent from my E15 using XDA App
please please
I have the same problem (twice in fact). But both times started when I flashed a new kernel. My X8 is a E15a, and the kernels here are for E15i.
As corsav6 mentioned, no big deal for me. Just hitting Dismiss and everything gets OK. I had no problem with network or wifi.
Don't know if you are using stock kernel, but for me it happened only after flashing a new one. You could try to revert yours...

Hiya,
I've recently bought an Orange HTC hero off ebay
Searching around there seem to be several ways to get around the simlock:
i) Buy a RebelSim
ii) Flash to a Non Orange Rom and buy a unlockcode
iii) Unlock CID lock with bespoke serial cable and buy an unlock code
iv) ??
I'm not so keen on chopping my simcard or option 1 would be the way to go?
option 3 seems the least destructive but I've never been great with a soldering iron!!
is there another option (iv?) ive not yet found or your experiences on the above would be helpfull
Thanks
(ii) is probably the easiest, but before parting with your cash, check that you can definitely get the code for your device. As far as I'm aware http://www.htccode.com does not have problems with Orange phones anymore as long as you've flashed the ROM to something else.
Regards,
Dave

just a quick one, you did try an orange sim in it didnt you>? make sure its not blacklisted?
checked it
I used a checkmend report before purchase to verify it was legit
There just seem to be specific issues with the orange heros and unlocking
Have a look over that, something about the orange original software stopping the unlock from working,

You may want to read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708962&page=1which is more up to date then this and speaks of the current easy way to unlock a Hero on Orange includes a link to eBay where you can purchase an unlock code.
If anyone is on Orange UK and has bought a Sim unlock code online that doesn't work, I got mine to work by flashing Modaco custom ROM first. (don't know why other ROMs don't let the code work but who cares ?)
So whatever ROM you are on
1. do a nand backup
2. Flash modaco custom ROM 2.9
3. Unlock SIM
4. do a nand restore to get your phone back to were it was before.
The unlock seems permanant once you've done it, irrespective of ROM.
Hope this helps someone. I'm off to grow back the tufts of hair that I pulled out trying to find this solution.
BTW I got my code from unlocking.com - Cost 10 squid and arrived in my inbox within a couple of minutes.
I unlocked my Hero at the time without flashing any specific ROM, it just worked with whatever ROM I was using at that point (I don't recall exactly which one it was, although it's likely to have been one of the Villain ones). So it's worth trying to unlock just with whatever ROM you currently have, and obviously if it doesn't work, flash Modaco as the OP says.
I can also vouch for unlocking.com, was very impressed with their speedy and secure service!
Hello all,
I have a little bit of an issue. I have bought an unlock code for my Hero and when using it, despite the fact that he says "Unlock successful", I still can't join the network and when restarting the phone, he asks me again for the code.
I think it may be because I am running a custom ROM, Elelinux special edition that somewhat the unlock code doesn't take.
Anyone can confirm that it is indeed the case? What is the best ROM to run to unlock and where to find it otherwise?
Cheers,
L
Actually, I have just worked it out. Just needed to flash an old Modaco Rom, unlock and now it works with any rom..
I have a similar problem. I tried to unlock my HTC Hero with a code and it didn't work. The phone has all original firmware and has not been rooted at all. My carrier is Orange Romania and the phone was boght with a subscription so it's locked...
Someone told me that I need to unlock it with a special cable that I do not have...
Sorry for the n00b questions
i have a htc desire hd .and purchased a unlock code but when i turn phone on i dont get the enter unlock code, with wrong sim or without as stated by the code people and most people say the same turn, on phone with diff sim and enter your code, i dont get this screen is it possible to enter the code a different way?
as far as i have read its unlocked but whichever sim i put in it dont work
if i then put a voda or o2 etc sim in and try to connect it says, sim dont allow a connection to this network
any suggestions to this .
if i have to root ,install roms etc then so be it ,i just want the phone open to all networks...any advice is much appreciated
Hi,
Are you sure those SIM cards work in another handset?
Depending on your software version you may need to downgrade before you can root, apply S-OFF, and SIM Unlock.
yep all sims are current....i think i'll go down the road you say....i'll take a look
thanks .
My radio s-off tool can do simunlock, check it out.

no, it wont.
you must buy a code, or ask the provider of the phone.
for the code, i'll try to ask the operator
and for the button... i broke the button, but i can't put it in it place
and know the tactile won't work lol (again)
