SIM unlock from Orange RO

hi.
After some weeks of struggle i finally unlocked my HD2 from Orange Romania.
I still don't know if the online sites that sell unlock code and provided wrong code used a generator or got it from some htc database but in both cases something is different from other HD2.
Conclusion:
Some sites and some unlockers suggested/said that Orange Romania may had changed the code so normal HTC codes don't work.
If you have a HD2 locked to Orange RO your best bet is a phone shop who provide unlocking services.
Journey this far:
- i think that code can be entered 5 times, each time increase wait time. i still need more info on it so if you can help don't be shy.
- ebay code for £6.9 - wasted attempt, try 1st time as is cheap but make sure you video it. you may get garbage code instead of refund.
- htccode.com - PM 3 times ferraripassion and got a wild goose link to htc desire forum , left a support question - no answer. they may be out of business.
- unlock-now.com for €25 - no code got refund in couple of hours, worth a try.
- unlockallcellular.com - $34.95(~€27) i think they are USA based so i had to wait because time difference. got same wrong code again. good live support tho i expected more details on why it does not work after long talk and mails i sent. also their page on t8585 suggests that a rom update will wipe attempts count. it does not.
- local unlock shop - ~€20 finally unlocked - used a box to get right code, code completely different from one provided by online.

hi.
please don't tell me that was discussed before, i know i read a lot on the topic but to no help.
i got a great 2nd hand hd2 that is 1mo old not to be under contract with orange and i expected to be as easy task to unlock it as was with tg01. i was so wrong.
i bought unlock code from ebay seller cellunlockland but didn't work, he was fair and redounded my money but also told me that i probably only have 10 tries. i wasted 2 on his code
another member here said that too new and my IMEI is in a new database and i have to pay ~50USD for it witch i think is a too much.
i hope someone can help and provide a good code seller that will work guarantee and with decent pricing (in tg01 is vitamise witch for £11 never failed).
i also hope that someone can tell me how many code input tries i have and what happens after that. i read couple of days that someone got in trouble for trying to many times but can't find more info on it.
thanks

unlock-now.com
Ive mentioned then in at least 3 threads.
But you would have known that if you had used the search!

this post implies that there is a 5 try limit to unlock with code. can anyone confirm or infirm that ?
@unlock-now.com i said not to say it was discussed before. if you would have read you would see that not everyone has had success with unlock-now.com
also other said they unlocked with code bought on ebay and look what it got me 2/5 wasted attempts. also their response time seams high an refund time even longer (correct me if i am wrong). also €25 is not exactly cheap compared to £7 witch it costs on eBay.
i would prefer someone active here on forums whom i could PM and tell just old code that did not work. if i have 5 tries now way in hell i am entering that code again just to get it on tape.
if the device is new and manufactured after certain date and in a new database or something then maybe other peoples who have phone from same batch or newer have same problem as me while.we may not find a answer on a thread started on dec 2009.
also i was hopping that someone could tell me if i have to wait for some time. i read that operators only give codes after 3 months into contract or something like that.
what is wrong with having options ? after all is not that why we are here on xda ?

I got mine unlocked on eBay for £6.99 can give you the details if you like

Well my friend you read the posts, digest the information and make your own mind up. Its a free choice so go where your intellect and assessments take you.
Its the way we all learned "the true path" so good luck with your quest.
It worked for me!!!

Surely spending 25 euro (which is then refunded if no code is found), is better than wasting those attempts by 'saving' and going with an eBay option which doesn't work?
Thats like saying you'd rather have a car with no fuel tank than one with, as it'll save you a few quid.

the ebayer seamed honest and refunded me, i think he honestly believed he had a right code.
i was the stupid one because i tried twice because i read on forums that one got it right 2nd try. i thought i was to excited and miss typed it 1st time. with tg01 worked like magic couple of weeks ago and also tg01 doesn't have a try counter. i didn't worried for a moment with hd2 till after.
€25 is not that much but i got a feeling that i will get again a your phone is in new database you need to pay double.
also if i get 44875764 again i would have payed for nothing as will not input that again.
i am in no rush and can wait couple of months for phone to be in regular database, also i am ready to pay €15-25.
is nice to feel free but not when you pay for it a arm and a leg. or to be more explicit i don't need it unlocked but i would like to know it is unlocked.

gave unlock-now.com a try. got a "Code not found" response and a refund in couple of hours.
any other recommendations?

Daaam...
And for me its really vital to unlock it..since I'm moving in couple of weeks..and my phone is still on french orange..and now u got me worry..
Some suggested this http://debloquer.planetemobile.com/debloquer.php?marque=HTC
..its in french..and since u from Belgium..it wont cause a problem..

ahh..sorry..u're not from Belgium..

here, could you give me the details for the unlock for hd2 on ebay? I'm locked to vodafone, ireland, want to go on O2

just search htc hd2 unlock code on ebay.co.uk
if you get a wrong code as i did don't try anymore, you have only 5 attempts.
make sure you record on video the whole operation and imei on back of the phone if it fails.
don't try more then once with ebay codes, i wasted 2 of 5 attempts.
i am still looking for a fair provider to unlock my phone. i think is better to get a "code not found" and a refund then waste 1 (2 if you stupid like me and retry code) attempt on a random code because seller thinks you may not have video it and he got to keep freaking £6.9

tried unlockallcellular.com
got same 44875764 again. 9 hours time difference caused me some frustration but in the end got a refund.
see 1st post for more details.
it seams that my pone is cursed and i am doomed to review every unlock service out there.
any suggestions ?

What country did the phone come from I bought my HD2 from t-mobile in the US and the called customer service and asked them for the unlock code told them I was going to Europe for work and they are emailing it to me haven't tried it yet because I just called yesterday to get it should have it tonight and will let you know if it works

finally unlocked it at a phone shop who provide unlock services.
orange ro seams to have changed htc unlock code.
see 1st post for more details....

I think I have found the Streak Unlock ...

I am 99.9999% sure I found the person in the right department who will unlock our phones. She took all my info said she mails it to someone else who will mail her back with the unlock code.
Sound right doesn't it ? It's been 30 minutes. She said it could be an hour or so depending on the person who will provide the code, but she sounds like the real deal !! I will come back here about 6pm eastern time, I have an hour commute home, and if she could do what she says she can do I will give you her name and phone number ..
This is the first hope I have had. When I called her I said, before I return my Streak and maybe buy an unlocked one on eBay, is there anything you can do to solve my 'locked to AT&T problem? Before I could get the last words out of my mouth she jumped right in and said, "don't send it back .. I can get you an unlock code."
I said "Alright if I share you with the rest of the disappointed Dell Streak buyers" and she said 'YES .. this is no secret.'
If I get the unlock from her you can PM me and ask for her direct number .. Someone suggested I don't post a number here. They are right.

well haha if it does work send me her info in a pm, thatd be greatly appreciated

It is 6pm eastern. They are in Texas. I called a few minutes ago and she still hasn't gotten the code. She will be there another 2.5 hours .. FINGERS STILL CROSSED !! I apologized for being such a pest, but said "I have been holding this brick for 4 days now. I want to do more than just look at it." Mean while I am thinking .. Wait till the other calls start rolling in. If they are going to start unlocking, it would be a good idea to create some sort of online form .. type in our IMEI numbers and they can just email them to us. I asked her does she need to know what service I will be using and she said 'doesn't matter, it will be unlocked for all.'

This would be great news and help drive sales. More sales=more support from at&t and dell.....i hope.

Dell Rep didn't get back to me tonight. At first she said a few hours, then later she said it could be tomorrow .. In any case, I believe in her. When she said I will get you unlocked, it sounded as if I wasn't the first person she helped. I don't expect to hear from her tonight though... I am sure she is done for the day.

i cant tell if thats sarcastic or not...
lets look at it this way. the device is released locked on or off contract so do you really think some random person is going to be able to just get a unlock code for it
doubtful.

Yep i doubt it too. I still live in hope...

Do you think that she'll only be able to provide unlock codes for US Streaks (if she will at all...)? Or also for UK versions locked to O2?

800 308-3355 Dell Mobility
They need this information from you ..
Service Tag #
Express #
IMEI #
Email address used to purchase
They will email you the unlock. I have NOT received mine yet. Promised I would have it yesterday. Now they are saying 24-48 hours.
Just want to add that if I called and got a Dell Mobility rep named Shaquallar [female] on the phone, I would hang up and call back. Take my word for it ..

So Dell is apparently unlocking?
I don't buy it. I don't doubt the intentions of the agent but I think they'll get to the point where somebody will tell them that AT&T wont allow it.
AT&T is the keeper of the keys.

I thought they should unlock it because there is no mention of Streak being locked to AT&T when purchased unsubsidized anywhere on sale page or during check out process. They do say that it is subsidized to 299.99 with 2 year AT&T contract and it works only on AT&T but they never said it is locked when purchased for full price.

For all those who can't get a free unlock code from O2

hi all,
It seems like there are a few of you that cannot get free code from O2. I have not tried this option, but got an email from Rebel Sim today. Check it out:
http://dellstreakunlock.com/dell-streak-remote-unlock-code-reader-software.html
It seems like you can get your code from this software.
Like I've said, I have not tried it yet, but for those of you are desperate enough, you can give it a go and then reply us how you go with it.
cheers

I think you should pay for it first and tell the rest of us if it works

Welcome
Unfortunately, a colleague is right, since it is a paid service. A friend took this sim-lock even though it took him about four hours of fun. Of course you can pay extra for help in removing it.
Sorry for my bad english

lol....mine is already unlocked by O2....just trying to tell those who can't get the codes from O2 some extra options

I filled out a form online (o2 website, a link found in modaco) on Sunday and i got the unlock code on Monday morning, within 24 hours.
Very very impressed. worth a try and try again until you get it.

I just could not give them the phone number from the O2 network which has been used before because I bought it on the internet so sure a method will not work. They just need to secure a number that the phone was not stolen. I just bought a license from them because I got bored rebelsim II and wants to have Froyo and confirm that everything works in addition to promoting the cost is 19.99 pounds. I recommend

Got my code on eBay
I tried Rebel software and it sucks. Had to mess with ROM, which is not user friendly unless you know what you are doing. I looked at some unlocking websites and didn't find anything until I went to eBay. Got my code there for $74 and had it 2 days later in my email.

I used the rebel service and it worked! everything ok!

I submitted the web form last night and had my unlock code emailed by o2 at lunchtime today! I honestly thought it wouldn't be thst easy.
I nearly bought the software and licence from rebel sim people ... Glad I didn't now. If you got an o2 locked streak then use the web form

Unlocking tips if phone bought on eBay through UnlockCodeRequest

Hey all,
I'm a Canadian, living in Canada, drinking Canadian Beer. So I bought a DVP, locked to T-Mobile on eBay a few weeks ago. I was under the impression that ANYONE would be able to get the phone unlocked via Dells, "UnlockCodeRequest" email. I mean, seems simple enough right? shoot them an email with your IMIE, and voila, gold. But it didnt turn out to be the case.
So, once I got the phone, I sent them an email with my IMIE asking for an unlock code and they reply back saying, "Nope, sorry, Retail Version bro, cant unlock, Contact T-Mobile".
I'm thinking great... now i have to go to XDA-Forums and search on how to get this thing unlocked. So a week passes by and after researching SOO many forums, I come to a conclusion:
There are two ways to unlock the phone.
1) For free, through unlockcode request
2) Pay someone 80$ to get it done (theres only one service that can unlock the phone for now). the other shady places that charge $10-50 cant unlock the phone.
I didnt want to spend $80 to unlock the phone, thats like 1/3rd the price of what I paid for the phone hahaha.
Having nothing left to lose, THIS is what I did: (keep in mind, i've never been a T-Mobile customer)
Email 1 to DELL
Hi Dell Employee!
I was given this email address by Mark, a T-Mobile CSR who asked me to send you a message to get my phone unlocked. I am studying overseas in Canada and I dont want to spend more money on a new phone because I'm here for only a few months. Please help a poor student out!

Guys,
I'm not even in the US. I'm in Canada right now for an exchange program. The nearest T-Mobile store from me is 500 Miles away from me. I've called them and they keep on telling me to either call you or send you an email (this email address).
This is a little ludicrous, both of you keep on telling me to contact the other and yet the issue is not resolved.
Please advise,

And 48 hours later, I have the unlock code. The phone is now working like a charm.
Hope this helps!

Bottom line, carrier locked phones are the worst idea in the world!

it works, I had to nag and beg about the 4th or 5th time, he was going to give it to me, he gave in... but I just recieved it from unlockstreak.com so wasnt needed any longer.
why are they so damn unhelpful..?
just keep bugging em... they'll give in.

I know I emailed dell after purchasing the phone from them and I got a reply within 2 days with my unlock code. I was very surprised it was that easy. If only every company had an email address for services such as this.
My advice is if you have a DVP and need/want it unlocked, try and email them and give it 2 days or so and see if you get a reply with a code, you've got nothing to loose

I emailed Dell and they sent me an unlock code. Now just need to figure out how to get working with a hidden network and 3g Att, and we all good

Hi Im french guy , can you give me Email to contact DEll please thank you .

Worked for me too!
Got a T-Mo DVP unlocked in under 18 hours!
Here is the e-mail addy: [email protected]
Dear Customer Good day to you!
We are happy to provide you with the unlock code for the device that you requested:

Jig in Metro Manila? Any sellers/renters PM me please?

My Dad came to visit me and asked me to upgrade his old Galaxy S. I didn't check the phone out thoroughly and it has an old bootloader. So when I flashed Cryogen I got the crazy screen problem. I thought, no problem, I'll just flash the gingerbread bootloader. Well I can't get into download mode. The phone is an AT&T Galaxy S and they seem to have disabled all the button combos. I've tried everything, so I need a jig.
The postal system/mail here sucks, as you know, so I want to buy it without having to use them (or EMS which sucks worse), which means locally. I can get it DHL shipped to me from the US next month, but I would really like to get this going ASAP. I checked Sulit but one seller that claims to sell it is a total no show and the other has no stock and is really not interested in being a vendor at all. Ebay.ph is the same, there is one seller who might be in the Philippines but they are not replying. No listings at Tipid.
So anyone know where I could use a Jig in Metro Manila? If anyone has one and is willing to sell or rent it to me, PM me. I'll pay more than market price. However, unless you have a store or a permanent way to get a hold of you after the sale, I will wish to use Paypal, Google wallet or something like that.
Also, I've been looking for the resistors to make a Jig, but I cannot find them. If anyone knows who sells them in Manila, please let me know?
Thanks!

Hi kababayan! have you checked my thread [REF] BORROW A USB JIG NEAR YOU *updated?
I bought mine from this ad
hope this helps!

Salamat! That seller is the one who doesn't seem very interested in selling anymore. He has no stock and originally said this week but this week he said he is too busy and won't be making more.
Thanks for that thread, you are in Cebu? Is there anyway I could pay you to borrow yours? I could pay rental fee and Air21 or something like that to get it to me and then send it back to you in 1 day (probably turn around will be 2-3 days to Cebu via air21). You are active enough here that I can trust you and can do a bank deposit if you don't have paypal. If its anywhere within the realm of possibility, send me a PM and I will work out the details with you. I'll be heading for bed now but I will check back tomorrow.
Thanks!
