Remove Simlock

Hy!
Does anybody know wich way the SIMLOCK works?
Is it a software (Rom) or part of the GSM module? (Firmware?)
Please post informations if available ...
Thanks :wink:

Ever heard of a little thing called "Searching" ?!
Check the wiki link on the top left of the page..
XDA unlock tool..

The little thing ...
This explains how to unlock the older devices ...
But i cant really understand how the LOCK really works.
Is the lock is in the radio bootloader - right?
And is it possible to change the code from a unlocked device
to a locked once?
I offer German T-Mobile ROM image - if anybody needs ...
(From a locked once, or a non locked device!)

How do I check if my phone is unlocked?

ok.. I got the IMEI unlocker and ran it, and it went through the whole process and appears sucessful, how do I check and see if my phone is unlocked?

Just put in a SIM from another network provider - that should proof it! If your phone is unlocked it should work, if not it will ask you to enter the unlock code!

That applies with the CID unlocker I used from IMEI check? or is that just SIM unlock?

Well, you did not clearify what UNLOCK you were reffering to! The CID unloack you won't know unless you actually try to reflash your device with a non-provider ROM ...

Thanks for the help though, I flashed my device succesfully and am a proud WM6 user now.

Flashing - Unlocking SIM subsidy

noob Q, would flashing and installing a custom ROM affect the ability to SIM Unlock the phone?! I have flashed my phone and installed a custom ROM and unable to SIM unlock the phone with the unlcok code given to me by tmobile/htc. I only have 1 chance left and I really hate to have to start over again in setting things up. Does anybody know if flashing the phone affect it at all?! Thank you!

anybody? anybody?!

sim unlock and rom flashing are completely unconnected. Nothing you do to the rom will affect the sim lock, and unlocking the sim lock wont unlock the rom.

great! thank you! i was just afraid that it hindered my ability to unlock the phone since I'm going out of the country in a few days. at least I just have to deal with tmobile. Thank you again!

Network unlock

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

After updating X8 with FROYO, can't unlock sim card with code???HELP

Hello
I buy my self new Xperia X8 - locked in UK (O2). But before I try to unlocked, I update it with Foryo v20. Now I want to put unlock code, but I don't find where to write it.
I never try to unlock phone and need some help, please.

What do you mean unlock? can you be more specific?

I mean that I can't use this phone in Bulgaria with other operator.
Is locked for use only with O2.
The problem is that i can't find where to put "unlock code" with Frpyo Rom.

Hmm can u post the unlock code?
I'll figure it out, since i never tried it.
Sent with love!

I registered in the site code, but I see no reason to pay for the code if a can't put it - as per their instructions.
I think I found in stalemate position.
I only need to know how to get to the introduction of the code !?
Regards

Is possible have the site url? i need a code for my italian locked x8

Insert a sim card that is not accepted and turn on the phone.
As soon as you power on your phone, you will be asked to enter the SIM Network unlock pin.
