I did the whole process myself using magloader and gingerbread
But i have a question....am i now able to activate it on another network?
Does installing Android onto it after it was a windows phone in fact flash it so that i can activate it on att when its a tmobile phone?
no it doesnt affect any simlocks and it doesnt unlock the phone to any network

Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks
Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck
thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?
No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.
quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running
I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone
I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?
Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.
I have flashed Tmobile HD2 with NexusHD2-Gingerbread but noticed that I can't still use AT&T Sim. Can someone help to explain how to get it to work?
Thanks.
hd2 can't use at&t 3g for one thing. next if you're talking about network connection and phone calls, that does seem strange. what radio version do you have? try looking through older threads about what radios are good for which carriers

Uhh. Just wondering are you trying to unlock your HD2 by flashing that rom? Then what you're doing won't unlock your phone. You have to get an unlock code.

Agree - to get it to work with AT&T sim card you will need the code for it. Once you put SIM Card in it will ask you to type in Unlocking Network Code or something like that - you enter it and that's it - it is unlocked...
FYI I did it under different ROM but it worked fine.

the easiest way to check is to put a different sim card into it(like att) and it will ask you for sim unlock pin if it's locked, if it doesn't and get's mobile signal right away then it's unlocked.
I don't think installing CM7 ROM will unlock the phone. The best way is to call T-mobile to get the phone unlocked. It's free and super easy if you have an voice plan in good standing.

Yes, it will. I got code and unlocked the hd2 with WM and no problem since there. I can work with any SIM from any operator.

if you unlocked it when using windows then it should be permanent no matter what operating system you put on

Doesn't matter. Unlocking the phone is based on the IMEI number of the phone and not the build it is using. The IMEI number will not change no matter what build you load onto the phone.

Dont worry mate - It wont lock up! As far as backup of the whole nand there is an option in magldr that lets you dump nand memory to your sd-card! How to get it back on nand however afterwards I cant tell you :-(

his spot on, it wont relock so dont worry
there are various backup solutions for WM but you wont have a problem with SIM unlock, so it doesnt matter.
Hello,
Would somebody advise if the HSPL 2.08 unlocks the HD2 to use with different carrier? Long time ago I unlocked my T-Mobile HD to be used with custom ROMs. Today I switched service from T-Mobile to AT&T and found HD2 asking me for unlock PIN. I thought the phone was carrier unlocked with HSPL.
Is there a way to get the unlock pin for the phone for free,besides calling T-Mobile?
Thanks
No!
HSPL only unlocks it to be flashed to another ROM.
In your case you need a sim/network unlock code.
If you have a contract with TMobile you should ask them an unlock code, otherwise you should buy one on-line(ebay or whatever).
That's what I figured. Thanks for clarification.
what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network

Could be a few things.
But some questions first.
1) Are you on Winmo or Android or WP7?
2) Are you 100% sure your SIM card is in the phone correctly?
I am on Winmo also have tried using wp7 and android but no luck
