Hey. I recently won a MyTouch 3G, altough I live in Sweden, so I can't use my own operator...
How can I use my own sim card and operator?
I have to unlock the phone, right? Where can I get a code without buying it? Or can I flash the phone so it gets unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
Your going to have to buy it. I have been told that theres a place on ebay that does the MT3G for $12.
Who did you win the phone from? Is it new?

From htcpedia.com - a very good site. And yes, it's new.
I've been talking to T-mobile, but they refered me to HTC to get an unlock code... So I guess we'll se what happens.
I got my phone about a month before they released it to the public. When I contacted T-mobile for the unlock code they has to request it from HTC. They said it would take 2-14 days...... I got the code 6 weeks later.

Damn..that's unbelievable!!!
I got my myTouch through T-Mobile in early August and contacted them about unlocking it a few weeks later, prior to what I thought was going to be a several-week trip to Canada. At first I was told I'd be sent the code/instructions within 24 hours. I called back 24 hours later when nothing came and was told that the 24-hour turnaround was mistaken because the phone was so new, therefore they'd have to go through HTC to get it; and they'd send it to me whenever they got it from HTC. That was about 5 weeks, and I've still not seen anything (although I haven't called them back again yet, either, as my trip ended up only being one week and I turned out to not need phone service much while I was there, so I ended up not being too concerned about it).
I would call them back now. I called them 4 weeks later nd it still took them 2 weeks to get it to me. The unlock code just makes your phone more valueable.
Ebay, swift unlocks sells unlock codes, 12.85 US, I think...I have bought 2, and both were there within a couple of hours...
I am searching for a method to unlock the x10 but i can cat the right method.
For the unbrand method ( by flash another firmware ) i cant find the dutch rom.
At the other program i must by credits over a paypall acount but i dont have paypall and the unlock must be done as soon as possible.
So what is the best and the fastest way to unlock the x10i branded from HI in holland?
( sorry for my bad english but as you can see i am from holland )
You can unbrand it.
Unbranded dutch rom can be found here
But you should know that unbranding your device doesn't unlock it. So you still won't be able to use non-Hi/KPN sim-cards.
If you do want to unlock you can buy the unlock code from Hi, but that'll cost you €68,- i believe.
I used unlocking.com and paid £19.99 and got my unlock code in approx 24hrs and it worked fine...

I thought unbranding remove the simlock
I cannot contact HI about it becouse i dont have a HI number. I chance the x10 fore my vivaz pro and not the numbers.
The only way to unlock the x10 is to order a unlock code and wait for a couple of days?

After a week waiting for unlocking.com to get my unlock code, I got nervous and went to htccode.com for it. Surprisingly, this guy did it in 10 minutes, so I really recommend the service in there. A bit pricey (40$), but definitely worth it. Nice support, and really fast. Comparing it to a week of waiting and asking to support service what the hell was going on, it's definitely worth the price.
Regards!
I am trying to get unlock code for my new X10a (Rogers). I tried from ebay and again yesterday from http://www.cellunlocker.net/. Both took about a day each and sent message saying there is no unlock code for my IMEI. Do newer Roger phones take time to get unlock code? I am now worried. The phone is brand new and I opened it. It's clearly Rogers branded.

I was able to unlock my Rogers phone for $15 or so. I did it a month ago, so the fix is out there.

From which place?
My xperia x10 was locked to orange. I did a lot of research and like so many ppl i placed an order at unlocking com. After waiting for 8-10 days, they replied that the code couldnt be found. Out of options i tried htccode To be true i was a bit afraid by reading lot of bad stuff about htccode. But in the end it worked pretty well. During the whole process i was in touch with the support rep and effectively it took only 5-10 mins to complete the process. I know the price is a bit high 40USD but in my opinion it is worth spending.
PS: The views expressed in this post are of author's only. I am not advertising htccode neither do i have any affiliation with them.
Cheers!

I am not willing to spend over $10 . Anway, the Locked Rogers X10a I have right now is in Black and I really don't like it as much as I like my white X10i. So, ordered an unlocked White X10a this time and will sell my black X10a if I can't get it unlocked in a week or so. If I can get it to unlock I might just use it and give the white X10a to my wife.
Well I have a brand new X10 that was sent back to me after my old one died. Only problem is it's locked to Rogers and The few unlock websites I've contacted couldn't find a code for it. I have it posted on craigslist here in the US, but I doubt I will have any luck. I posted it in Canada as well, but nothing yet. What is the best area to post in Canada do you think? I'm just not sure where Rogers covers up there. Thanks for the help.
By the way I have an Infuse 4G on the way today so bye bye x10 development forum...it's been really fun.
eBay or Craigslist.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
You can try this site, i have similar prob with unlock code for my AT&T x10.

I bought my X10 used and it was locked to Rogers. I paid $7.99 (cdn) through w_w_w.cellunlocker.net and had an unlock code in 4-5 hours.
Yeah I've tried, no lie, 13 different unlock companies and all come back saying unlock code NOT FOUND. I'm over it. I will sell it to someone who can use it. I just got my Infuse 4G and can't believe the 4.5 display and how fast it is. I have no regrets at all!

hi all, ive been lurking this site for ages, and thought this would be a good place to start my first thread.
basically, i bought a second hand htc hero that is locked to 3 UK. its running android 2.1update1. basically, i would like it unlocked and a bonus would be to put another rom on there. i dont see why i should pay £20 odd to get it unlocked if i can do it free.
any advice/tutorials on how to do it? bearing in mind its 3 UK? i didnt know if different unlocks work on different networks on this phone. im a noob with android, i have this and my hd7 (which i love, just wish it werent so restricted lol)
any help would be great, i know this device is getting on a bit but i still think its a great phone and would love to be able to use on o2 uk and tesco uk.
thanks a bunch!

I used the above site for my HTC HD7 and they were pretty guick. although havent used ofr my hero they charge arounf £15 I think.
I was wondering why we cant unlock it for FREE though, phones like SAmsug Galaxy S2 can be unlocked for free. thanks to XDA
Hope someone can do the same for HERO
Hey guys
Even though I am not exactly new here (I have been lurking for quite a while lol), this is my first post.
Couple of years back I got an original HTC Wildfire on Virgin Mobile, even though the phone didn't live up to expectations, as I was on a contract I stuck with it those two years. This past August my contract was up and I took the chance to jump ship over to T-Mobile and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S3!
Anyway, I decided to wipe the Wildfire and gave it to my girlfriend, got her a SIM only contract on T-Mobile and thought weyhey, all set. I'm happy with my new phone and she is happy with her Wildfire Result!
Only it wasn't quite a result, I found out shortly after that the SIM wouldn't work on the phone as it was still locked to Virgin :/ I contacted Virgin and they really weren't very helpful, which in my experience is pretty much how Virgin have always treated me :/ I contacted them before about the phone screen dying 6 months after getting the phone and they didn't want to help at all, luckily HTC fixed it for me for free Anyway I digress...
So I started looking on here to see how I would go about obtaining the "SIM Network Unlock Code"... After looking through a few posts, I decided to give htccode.com a try after one of your members mentioned it (leetvtr) - they looked the most professional... and I have to admit they kept to what their site said.
Within about 10 minutes of payment, I had my code, entered it and bam... phone is unlocked and works with the T-Mobile SIM
Now, this isn't about me trying to sell the service to you, I am not getting anything out of this. I am just pleased with the service I got from those guys, and wanted to say if anyone out there is in a similar situation and needs a SIM Network Unlock Code fast for their Wildfire in the UK, they seem to work wonders.
So +1 for HTCCode.com
Anyway, I hope you be more active on these forums now
Cheers guys
