having a problem sim unlocking my htc hd2 from tmobile. they gave me the unlock code it says its unlocked but then it never unlocks. is it because of wp7 installed on my hd2?
I had same problem tmobile sim lock... solved with flashing original WM 6.5 ROM from HTC, unlocked with code then again flashed with BTTF

does it have to be the orignal os for the phone or just any windows 6.5

possible can with any WM6.5 (i not tried this)
do you have a link for the original wm6.5 that you used?
I was running Back to the future and tried to unlock sim unlock and it did not work. I was unable to try booting SD Android and attempting an unlock because I did not have a spare SD Card, but it might be worth a shot before re-flashing 6.5. Good luck. I flashed T-Mous stock 3.14.531.1 and it worked fine. Reloading WM7 ws kind of a pain, but worth it.

You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.
Hi,
How can I retrieve the SIM unlock code from my HD2....
I bought it used and unlocked and it's working, but the seller didn't give this code and I'm afraid I'll need it if I upgrade my ROM.
Thanks for your help.
You won't need it.
Even with ROM 2.13.531.1

Even if I install the latest ROM 2.13.531.1 from T-Mobile ?
As long as you have hspl you will be fine. The device is now sim unlocked and will stay that way for good.

I upgraded my HD2 (and played with many cooked ROMs) and now it's rock stable (using Energy).
Thanks again.
I have an unlocked TMOUS HD2 (using unlock code) and i'm using stock rom 2.10 and i want to upgrade to the latest stock rom from the t-mobile site, will the phone be locked again??
Will the radio be upgraded too?
Thanx
You should be good to go after updating, should still be unlocked, and it will update your radio to 2.15
Not a problem u can use any rom bcause the unlock it's for the sim not the rom i already change my rom with the newest stock one from tmousa and nothing happen
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Um....HD2?
He means like what type of hd2....
There are mainly two types of HD2's, EU and TMOUS, with EU meaning a european hd2, whilst TMOUS, a t-mobile USA branded HD2.
Reason being you can't flash a EU stock rom with a TMOUS stock rom or you will brick your device, and vice versa for TMOUS.

Hi,
My touchscreen doesn't work anymore so HD2 must go to a repair center.
Now Cotulla is still be seen in boot loader mode. How to bring HD2 back in original status.
I did already task 29 and flashed a wm6 rom.

Which telephone provider did you get your phone from? For example: T-Mobile, Telstra, etc.

You can do tbis two ways. One uou can flash the official ROM for your HD2 via SD card and it will make you completely stock or you can use HSPL 4 to revert back to your original SPL. I suggest just flashing the ROM via SD myself as then hou will have no worries.
Here is a link to learn how to flash via SD card:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317

thanks T-macgnolia I am gonna try it and let you know
T-mobile Netherlands. I have read today the release notes from Cotulla. So I make progress
It worked as bepe and Cotulla did already wrote.
Take a ruu signed rom rename it in LEOIMG.nbh
Put it on a sd card
Go into bootloadermode and OK!
I made a mistake in the renaming I renamed in LEOIMAGE.nbh
I took my TMUS Leo Hd2 which was crashing hourly and put a WP 7.5 ROM onto it. Works substantially better. My question is, is this now an unlocked device which can use cell service from a different carrier.

if device SIM locked, only way to unlock is unlock code in WM6.5....
when device SIM locked, no mater which ROM you install (Android, WM6.5 or WP7) always is SIM locked

When I flashed a sense from on my Inspire 4g, it unlocked my phone, now I am using it on T-Mobile. I know its not the same phone but certainly it is feasible to unlock via ROM.
