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.

I have searched the forum but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for, so I decided to create a thread.
I was wondering if I could use the HSPL2 to unlock it, but does that only work with T-Mobile ver. in US? Not the UK orange HTC HD2?
If I use the unlock for the WP7 on HTC HD2, does that also unlock it for Android?
If yes, can I unlock it though WP7, then flash Android for NAND and keep the unlock?

HSPL doesn't "unlock" your phone in the locked-to-a-carrier meaning. I don't think such an unlock has been developed for HD2, you're gonna need to get hold of an unlock code (either official or through one of the many unofficial sites)
Hi there,
I´m going to buy an HD2 from the USA, which has a Netlock from T-Mobile.
I want to use this Phone on NAND Android.
Do I have Netlock after flashing NAND anymore?

i assume you mean carrier lock.....in any case ans is YES !
As the post above said you are talking about a simlock on the HD2. You will have to aquire a sim unlock code to be able to use another carriers sim card so you can use their service. Your best bet is to go to eBay and buy a code or go to the unlocker.com and buy a code. No ROM flash of any kind will sim unlock the HD2.
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.
Trying to sel my HD2 but i been asked if its unlocked.
To my knowledge - no it isnt. hoever ive update dthe Radio and Firmware - would this remove any software in there to lock the device to 1 sim?
no, it wont. buy a code or ask the supplying operator.
Ahh ok. I'll leave as it is and just carry on stating its currently locked to that network
Simlock is corelated with mainboard not with any software.
Also, sim unlock can be done only with WM 6.5, if you upgraded to wp7 or android then you need to flash WM 6.5 to unlock it.
I have got HTC HD2 T-Mobile, USA.
I have already installed ICS ROM 4.0.3 on it and it's running fine, but I am not sure if that means it's unlocked.
Do I need to do anything else in order to run this phone with any GSM network?
If your phone is locked to t-mobile (put another service provider's sim), then changing the OS will not unlock it. You need to get an unlock code from t-mobile, or buy one from one of the internet based unlockers (do your research).
