CID unlocked---imei-check.co.uk

I just couldnt wait any longer to get past CID lock, so I unlocked at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
(removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
costs: 30,68 euros.
good news: cid unlocked, upgrade to any rom now possible!

accept ,my apologies
youve lost me with jargon
im new to xda
so what is cid??
what was it before 02???
so is it liek a plain normal htc now>>
did you lose any data??
is the gps affected?

CID unlock
Could someone send a file with extension unl, which was normally provided by imei-check to unlock your device.
It may bring a good idea to spl modification.
Thanks in advance.

hi to all
cid unlocking is same with sim unlocking
i am wrong ?

thanks for repply

CID unlock is not the same as SIM unlock.
if we talk about imei-check service they do the both.
you can read it here:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
you can use any sim card.

I think if you're able to flash your device with a ROM from HTC, DOPOD or O2... its CID unlocked...

Duhh... wouldn't it be better to find out before trying to flash any ROM? Suppose you think the device is unlocked but actually it isn't, then you might end up with a bricked phone.

CoolGadget,
If I had the original T-mobile Rom then I would've just taken the risk but I don't and that's why I'm a little worried.
I'm still looking for it but it seems like it doesn't exist anywhere!
If anyone can help me out then I'd really appreciate it.
Regards.

T-Mobile ROM
The original T-Mobile ROM is available on T-Mobile website amongst many others. I really dont think there is another way to confirm you have CID-unlocked your set, unless you flash it.
Though the report of many who have used imei-check seems to suggest it gets CID-Unlocked

I allways thought it would be possible by running the mtty program. Wasn't the command Info 2 for getting the status? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I haven't tried it though, because my phone is certainly locked and I don't want to pay for getting it unlocked.

info 2 and info 4 do not work for the Artemis.

Guys thanks for your replys. I've managed to track down the original Tmobile ROM for the MDA 3 (thanks to some guys here). so now I'll be using imei check to unlock it, once done, I'll go ahead and install any ROM other than Tmobile and if it works then I'll know my device is CID unlocked. If it doesnt then I have the Tmobile ROM to fall back on.
Hopefully it will work otherwise I'll be getting in touch with imei check immediately!
Thanks for your help guys.

Here is what HTC have to say RE Hard RESET and SIM Re-Locking .... for HD2

Dear all,
I simple question to HTC, (1) if they could provide me with an unlock code and (2) if a ROM update with an unlocked phone would void the warranty.... Funnily enough I got this reply... out of point I know.... but it led me to realise something else....Read on ...
Dear Sir
, Thank you for contacting us. In regards to the Rom and unlocking, I can help you with that. The unlocking code will only let you use another sim card in the device for calls and texts, the software on the device will still remain. As the device is branded the original software cannot be removed. If you do a hard reset on the device has been unlocked the code will not work again and phone will be once again locked to the network provider. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, HTC Support

I looked up the internet and did not find sufficient proof that indicates if the above is correct or not.... I guess they are not saying the truth ... So question is this... If the phone requires a hard reset ... and it has HSPL/2 right now on it ... Would this mean that the Sim Lock will be back? And the unlock code which I put in will be no longer valid? Personally I find all this a big load of crap .... Because if the IMEI does not change ... and the code is created via the IMEI ... I don't think it makes sense to say that the "unlock code will not work again and the Phone will be locked". But before I jump to any conclusions, I would like to hear the opinion of the clever guys out there ...
This email was interesting .... I wonder what's up in HTC's customer supports' minds ...
Regards
Al

I guess HTC is only talking and can only talk about default ROMs, not custom roms, if you have hspl your device you will no longer get support from htc.... anyways, HSPL is not the same as sim unlocking your device, check the wiki pages.

I didn't make myself clear that must be it.....

I guess you didn't understand me .... I know that sim unlocking is not the same. The thing that bothered me was whether HTC is saying the truth aka
"Is it true that HARD RESETTING would make you LOSE the sim unlock code and it would never work again? Yes or no?"

Many Thanks again for your answer

once u unlock ur device to be used on another network and u change the radio or rom the device will still continue to be unlocked... i hav 2 devices 1 is the hd the other is the hd2 and both are unlocked and hav different roms and radios

I have a question regarding this too.
I've heard that TMobile US has a separate IMEI number than the one on the device on the back.
Is this true?
Now for unlocking it has been suggested that you get it from T-Mobile. If you don't, it will most likely fail to unlock.
Is that true?
And finally has anyone that unlocked their phone directly from T-Mobile hard- resetted their HD2?

if you bought the hd2 from Tmob "outright"..they will provide the unlock code
I have the Tmob provide code for my hd2, yes it worked and still worked after a hard reset

Thank you for your quick response!
I do have one final one. How long did it take for T-Mobile to get the code for you?

I DID not get my unlock code from T mobile directly. They said its a genuine unlock code ... but i did not attempt a hard reset yet. Is this hoax true????? That if you HARD RESET your phone your UNLOCK code is gone YES OR NO? I seem like i cannot get the message through .... Anyone HARD RESET his phone and got it sim locked again? And anyway it does not make sense to say that the unlock code wont work anymore because the IMEI remains the same ... so this is not really sounding like a true statement from htc .....but i want to hear of somebody who hard reset his phone and got his t mobile unlock code not through t mobile to make sure...... I will ask the people who helped me out with the unlock service and will get back to everyone with a confirmation ....
As for the other guy who said that T mobile have got a separate IMEI .... the answer is NO. They all have ONE IMEI.... the only thing I can confirm to you is that T mobile CHANGES the Unlock codes to a system of their own, hence a genuine htc unlock code WON't work on ANY T mobile flashed device...... and there is no need to get the unlock code from t mobile ... it would take you like 3 months if u ain't got a contract + they will force you to do a contract for a minimum period of 90 days.... a Huge f**k up considering that you might not even be on t mobile or worse still not even in the country . ....
There are good services out there ... mine took exactly 9 hours to get unlocked......from time of payment
Many Thanks

oops.. wrong forum

Yeah, the reply you got made no sense... unlocking the phone out of a preset carrier is relative to the IMEI of that phone and not on the software status installed on there... as if a carrier was able to determine os/version of your phone upon connection and forbid access if they notice (?) you did a hard reset

Please help

Does that mean after u did the hard reset; the phone was locked again and u had to re-enter the unlock code??
I'm asking about that coz i bought my TMOUS HD2 already unlocked but the seller did not provide me with the unlock code!!
Does that mean that i have to buy the code to use it if i hard reset the device???
Plz help!!

no, once unlocked it will stay unlocked.

Glad
Glad to hear that!! No need to spend more money then!!
Thanx mate!!

Retrieve T-Mobile HTC HD2 unlock code

Hi. I am using an unlocked T-Mobile HTC HD2. I purchased it unlocked so I don't have the unlock code. Is there a way to retrieve it from the phone? I thought I might be needing it since there's a new ROM update for T-Mobile HTC HD2.

As far as i know, once this phone is unlocked, it will always be unlocked. Its not like the iphone where every time you get a new update, you have to re-jailbreak and unlock the phone.

Thanks. I'll do a ROM update later today and I hope you're right or else I'll have to pay for an unlock code again. BTW, are there instances when we might need to re-enter the unlock code?

Once the phone is SIM unlocked it will not get relocked when flashing a stock rom.

An unlocked phone is nothing illegal (since you can get the code from the carrier). I really don't see the reason to have the code.. If you are sending the phone in for repair, that should not be an issue unless you have a cooked ROM installed.

Unlocking

I have a Telus Desire HD.
I used to have a Desire on Telus and was able to purchase an unlock code, worked 1st time.
I have had the Desire HD for about 2 months, want to unlock now.
I purchased unlock code from MobileinCanada, I have purchased unlocks codes in the past from them and they work fine.
The Desire HD I have tried on 4 attempts without success.
Question 1:
How many carrier unlock attempts can be done before device is bricked?
Question 2:
Do I have to root the device in order for carrier unlock to work?
I have already paid for the unlock, I would prefer not to root, any suggestions, I hope someone can answer question 1.
On the screen with the keypad, I get the following message "SIM service provider unlock PIN".
Does this mean the 8 digit unlock code will not work, do I have to input a telus code 1st
Help!!!
Please

I think if you call Telus and tell them you're going to europe for a while, they can provide you with a working unlock code... They've been doing this for a few months now!

Hello mate.
Try following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
It should sim unlock your phone, but remember you have to have a build lower than 1.72.405.3 and a specific radio..
Just follow the topic!!
Take care!

I think you have to wait 3 months plus pay $75, most of the unlocker sites are $25.
If the unlocker sites will not work, I may have to resort to calling Telus, I did pay for device outright vs 3yr.
Can you confirm if the fee from Telus is $75?

You can unroot it back and keep it unlocked by reflashing the original rom.

That is what i was going to say,
Root it run radio S-OFF then run the rru again job done.

Carrier Unlock Verizon Model

Hello xda-developers community!
In a few days I will be acquiring my friend's old Verizon HTC Trophy. I know that it's dual-band CDMA/GSM, and it has a Verizon SIM card in it. I use an iPhone 3GS on AT&T. Is it possible for me to carrier unlock the Trophy and use my AT&T SIM card in it? I really need a phone upgrade but my contract with AT&T ends in a year and a half. I'd prefer to be able to unlock the Trophy without having to use a site like freeunlocks.com and such, because i don't really trust them...
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
drsn0w

On a related subject. Does Verizon lock out the US GSM bands on this phone like they did the global droid models?
If so, thats something else you need to deal with.
Im presently researching this, and may report back with what I find.
Also, if you cant get a carrier unlock free, i've used swiftunlocks several times in the past with great results. And he's cheaper then most of the others.

Unfortunately, it seems that I won't be getting the phone after all. apparently Verizon wants it back

most likely, you have the code wrong.
confirm you sent the correct IMEI.
Use the one from the phone software. *#06# in GSM mode, and NOT one on a label.

when i press *#06# i get 35176404780445101, in about it is 35176404780445
both unlockers used 35176404780445 when gave me code
what is problem i dont know
please help me, i have proplem like this first time, i unlock lot of phones but this 65k attemps is something evil

i have flash stock rom and still have not unlock it
