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).

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

Hey all
I just did the sim unlock and it work perfectly. Thanks!
But my question is what is this CID? and what does it unlock? What can I do
that to my phone if I run the unlock?
Thanks in advance
CID unlock will unlock the rom,
so you can update your rom with others than the official ones from the network provider you bought the phone from.
I would suggest doing this even if you plan on upgradeing to another rom from your same provider, b/c once you upgrade to a 2.x rom it becomes harder to do... (and once done it is permanent...)
What ROM upgrade would be suggested? I have a T- Mobile MDA primarly using Suncom network. And were would I find suggested ROM upgrade?
Get the 2.26 from the T-Mobile site.
How do you suggest getting the update off the TMobile site if I do not have a TMobile phone number which they request for the download. Is there somewhere else to get it or another way to get it. I also looked on the Suncom site for updates for the I Mate K Jam but there was none.
Hey, I am wondering if i will be able to flash updated roms which will be released by htc to the phone without the need to sim unlock it. Infact will any hotfix's or updates work on the locked o2 hd2?
Thanks
I have an unlocked TMOUS HD2 (using unlock code) and i'm using stock rom 2.10 and i want to upgrade to the latest stock rom from the t-mobile site, will the phone be locked again??
Will the radio be upgraded too?
Thanx
You should be good to go after updating, should still be unlocked, and it will update your radio to 2.15
Not a problem u can use any rom bcause the unlock it's for the sim not the rom i already change my rom with the newest stock one from tmousa and nothing happen

Code is inmediatly given after purchase or is there a waitin time? (Just in case the morrons at t mo wont send me a code)
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.
