Hello, im planning to get HD2 from ebay, its a dual boot one, WP7.5 & Android, and the seller says its T-mobile locked, so is there anyway to get another sim card working on it? or it won't work even on Android?!
P.S. i searched the forum 1st, found all the unlock questions are old, before dual booting i mean.
To unlock the phone you need an unlock code
The other posts are old but the methods and costs are still the sam Putting Android, Win & or any other OS does not unlock the phone
Use Google and pay for the code my man
Yeah, you can get a code for $13.50. That's what I paid for mine, and had my HD2 unlocked in 15 minutes (depends on how fast the email arrives). Do a search online and do not pay anything more than $15 for the code.
Thanks for the help guys, you're the best!

i bought a htc touch 2 on t-mobile from ebay was brand new i want to use three network so i tryed a few unlock sites and all of them 1 after another saying not available yet. This is confusing does this mean my phone is unlockable it is asking for a unlock code when i insert a diffrent sim so im assuming this wouldnt be their if they never intended for the phone to be unlocked.
i even tryed a unlocking shop he had no joy either.
Anyone any suggestions

Hi guys,
I need some help as i've not been able to find anything searching around.
I have a T-Mobile HTC hero from my study abroad in England, then i want on to by an unlocked x10, and had left my hero apart. Now i was trying to unlock it to give as a gift to my brother, but after hard resetting i''m left at the First-Time Setup,
it is asking about the sim, but no other then the T-Mobile sim (which i dont own now) will work.
Can anybody please tell me how ca I get past this and manage to root my phone?
Well, you could follow through with your plan and unlock the phone. Then just follow through the setup with another SIM, then root. You don't need to root to unlock a phone.
First thank you for the quick reply.
but the problem is that with another sim, it just says Sim Locked, no setup no nothing,
while without any, it says please insert a sim
As said above, rooting won't help you unlock.
I've got a t-mobile hero here, and I unlocked it. Basically, you get the IMEI number, and you buy a code to unlock based on that IMEI.
You usually enter this code where it says SIM locked. I'm sure a little button appeared for me which let me enter my unlocking code.
But you can't do much without a SIM in the phone.
You can root without a SIM, normally, depending on what version of the ROM you are using
Well,
Isnt it that, if i manage to install a custom rom, my phone will be unlocked?
It is what i have been doing in WindowsMobile era.!

Nah, unfortunately not. The baseband is the part that gets unlocked, and no amount of flashing custom ROMs, updating radios etc will unlock it.
Buy a code and use it
That's my recommendation. I paid £6.75 roughly for mine on ebay. A lot will do it instantly when the seller is online. Just get someone who has huge positive feedback.
thank you
now i get it
can you point me to the one where you bought your code?

This is similar to the one I got mine from. I know people who have used this seller without issue.

Would Anything bad happen if i put in the SIM unlock code through Android?
Using latest HyperDroid build.

I used to use the sim lock through winmo, when I installed android I didn't have a problem (cant remember if it worked or not in android). Ive removed the lock since, but nothing bad ever happened.

htc hd 2 android froyo 2.1 how do i enter sim unlock code?
i have an htc hd2 running on android froyo 2.1 from NAND is it possible to use the sim unlock code while the phone is still on android
Since someone else had dug up this old thread, I wouldnt mind finding out the answer too.
I have a T-Mob HD2 with Android on NAND. It is currently sim locked to T-Mob but I plan on moving to 3 in the next few months. Is it possible to enter the unlock code via Android or would I need to go back to Win Mo, Enter the unlock code and then back to Android?
Thanks

I will be able to answer this soon as I have just ordered my unlock code from T-Mobile. Apparently it could take up to a month for it to arrive though!
It will work fine. There are no limitations on the sim depending on what software you're using.

I thought I remembered someone trying to unlock the phone while in android and it wouldn't stick... it accepted the code but it kept showing as locked. Maybe it was with WP7... I can't remember. I'm getting my unlock code today, but I have wp7 on nand and android on SD, and I doubt we can sim unlock our phones while in sd android, but I might try it while in WP7 and see.
Wait, are we taking about the PHONE unlock code? Ie, phone is locked to T-mobile etc. or the SIM code, ie, put a pin in before you can use the sim.

As in my phone is network locked to T-Mobile and want to use an unlock code so I can use my phone on another network.
Yes, the 8-digit SIM unlock code can be entered through Android. I did it to my wife's phone 2 days ago.

So did you test it by putting a AT&T or whatever sim card in? Where you able to get 3G on a different network? I will be ordering my Sim Unlock code soon and it would be awesome if I didnt have to install winmo
Got my unlock code today. Put an o2 sim card, entered unlock code and worked fine. Tried with a vodafone sim card afterwards and it also worked fine too.

When i asked for an unlock code i got a 15 digit code, (this is form T-Mobile).
Guys,
I hope we talking about network locked mobile devices. ;-)
My hd2 is on android and I get unlock code. But when I put different sim card, everything's work fine except radio, of course (no service). What is procedure to input network unlock code?
If I remembered correctly, when hd2 was on win6.5 and I put different sim, phone asked to unlock code. Now is a big difference.
Any suggestion?
Someone may explain the steps for introduce the unlock code under android? Because with android installed the HD2 dont ask about unlock code when i pu no T-MOB sim card.
not sure why code is not worknig.
I have an HTC HD2 Leo locked by t-mobile. I installed Android on it. I am entering the code to unlock and I am getting back to the same message again. Do I need to install windows back on it again? I get an error saying incorrect password. Maybe my code is not correct. Any clues would help tremendously. If I put a t-mobile sim card in it I do not get the prompt but again no signal since it is not active.
Thanks,
Sophronis
this may sound strange but my unlock code only worked under windows!! So after spending a few hrs I rolled back to windows enter the code, then back to Android and everything worked fine.
Hey,
I have recently Got a HTC HD2 Wich is Locked to Tmobile,
Along time ago i was here with some XDA's and over the years have done alot of phone unlocks,
But i have NO idea how to unlock his phone, Im guessing i need to flash the firmware and so on, and Update a Rom.
But i really need your help. Can somebody tell me how this is possible without paying for an Unlock Code.
have to buy a code or get one from your carrier using IMEI number...no other way...use the search function...many threads on this already...
I forot to say, I need it Unlocking to o2, But have no way to get an unlock code . Please help me.
there is no free unlock. youmust buy one. plenty of websites, or on ebay, selling unlock codes.
maybe if he asks a third time, we'll give him the magic unlock code!!!

Hi all,
hopefully i'm posting in the right place.
I got an LG stylo 3 that have a sim lock only for T-mobile(USA). i want to unlock him to use the carrier in my country.
i already spoke with Tmobile and they told my if i want to unlock the phone i have to work with them for one year ( and i dont want it)
i read some guide on the internet and they sell an activation codes. the problem that i don't have any place to enter the code ( in there giud they say that i should get an activation message when im insert a new SIM card - and i don't get any message)
there is a way to unlock the phone? maybe installing new ROM?
thank you for your help
I don't know if this is relevant anymore to you but i just did this yesterday. AFAIK, there's no way to network unlock this via software. You'll have to go to any store that do Network unlocking, it costed me 30US$ here in MIami
