Good morning,
I have an HTC HD mini with WMobile in it.
is there any way to unlock sim card to other carriers?
i already tried to find in xda for this information but what i found was mainly related to Android, and not WMobile...
although, i found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409 will this do the trick?
Does changing rom only, unlocks sim also?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Best regards
anyone?
any tip?
I don't think flashing custom rom would unlock the device..it's the radio which is to be changed.its very risky.could end with a dead mini..

You're the best we ever had here. You even start opening new threads with "old questions" even before you have the device...
Search for "sim unlock" in this thread. Read the stickys in this section and in ROM development...
Thanks for reply.
I searched but I only could find 1 paid service for it.
Can I install any other radio and ROMs to locked Pure? If yes is it enough for unlocking?
Thanks again.

Yes You CAN
Hello, you can't change the ROM until you do a HardSPL (only can change it to another at&t original one), and also you can't change any radio rom until you CID unlock your pure, and you can't use a different SIM until you SIM unlock your pure.
You can search and find unlockers, but with the risk of damage your phone,
I have a Pure, I did the HardSPL, the SIM and CID unlocking with the Olipro's software, then I downloaded a Diamond 2 ROM, installed the latest radio ROM and everithing OK
I'm using it with COMCEL(Colombia) other service provider
Please do not risk your phone, use the Olipro's Unlocker:

everyone,...
i flashed HSPL, it worked great, i was able to flash a WWE ROM on my French Leo, but it did not unlock the device since when i put another SIM card in, it reads, SIM LOCKED, and will not let me use the device from anything other than the French SIM card,...
thanks for any input you can give,...

HSPL does no sim unlocking
o.k., thanks,...
but when i've flashed other devices, i.e., SPV 3100, vox, touch pro, no problem with the unlock,...
do i then have to go an buy one of those 'unlockers' from one of the websites just for the LEO, or, is there another way,...
have read much, have not found a solution,...
thanks for your help,...

Yes at the moment there is no other way to unlock the HD2 other than to go to your carrier and ask for it or use an unlocking site and provide your IMEI. All HSPL does is to "unlock" you from the clutches of official carrier roms. And provide a nice way to recover if you break your system.
thank you cass,...
any recommendations on an unlocker,...? am reading about many dodgy unlockers who take money and do nothing,...
thanks again for your help,...

Sorry, mine is still carrier locked, some others in this forum have had luck from the following
unlockitnow.com
www.swiftphones.co.uk
http://your-unlock.com/
I cant recommend any of them personally as i have not used them but if you run a search on the forum for HD2 carrier unlock you can read what others have to say.
Hello, sorry if I sound nieve with any of this. I am new to flashing etc...
Basically I have an O2 branded HTC HD Mini and would like to know the easiest way of upgrading the ROM, to the current one recentely released from HTC. The HTC help team have basically told me that O2 don't own any rights for HTC updates so none of their updates will work on an O2 branded phone!
Please help.
Thankyou, Trev
In a nutshell, unfortunately you can't do it easily.
You can use SoftSPL to allow you to install a downloaded ROM but it wont update the radio ROM or you could use the Gold Card method, but currently there is a minimum purchase of $30 for Gold Cards.
Your first step is to download a ROM from Conflipper's site then decide how you want to proceed. Or download Tom Codon's excellent cooked ROM!
Unbranding HD Mini
Hi dude. I just flashed my Dads Vodaphone branded HD Mini to the latest HTC ROM. I followed the guide ''[SSPL][DFT] HowTo flash custom OS'' in the ROM Development section.
After that the phone was unbranded. The only problem was that I wasn't recieving a signal. After looking at the Radio version I found that it wasn't showing a version so I assume the Radio wasn't installed.
I fixed this by using the SSPL (the program that you used to flash the official ROM with) to flash HTC's updated version. What you need to do is download the Update for HTC HD mini intermittent audio muting and extract the .exe (using winRAR) to find the Radio_32.2806.05.06_0.63.05.40.nbh. Put this into the same folder with the SSPL and rename it to PHOTIMG.nbh. Once done you can flash it to your device.
This worked fine for me. Call quality is perfect. This removed all Vodaphone's branding and gave me back Copilot and the added extra's that HTC put in. I'll be writing a full guide on how to do this later on.
Trying to flash my HTC HD Mini (O2) to RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2 803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe
(Currently got RUU_Photon_O2_UK_1.10.206.1_Radio_Signed_32.28.05. 05_0.63.05.18_Ship.exe installed)
But just keep getting error 'invalid vendor ID'
What to do????? can I change vendor ID ??
Having read about Goldcard, I'm guessing that this is what I need to do. Have looked at PSAS and would need to pay 30eur - is there a cheaper way? What about these unlock services that will send you an unlock code based on your IMEI number, would this change vendor ID to ubranded (normally about £12)???
Look in the ROM Development section on this forum and you'll find a guide on how to unbrand the HD Mini. Follow this guide and hopefully it'll work for you.

Nothing works for my O2 one. I think O2 have started doing something odd?
I've noticed that people seem to find it easy with Vodafone, but numerous problems with O2. There doesnt see mto be a definitive guide for unlocking O2 ones specifically - is Goldcard the only option at 30euro? Does anyone offer a Goldcard type serice for cheaper?
Hi all,
I recently purchased a DHD for the wife from ebay and the seller claimed it was new and factory sim free.
I already have a factory sim free HD so I knew what to expect.
However, upon turning it on, it boots with a Vodaphone logo and is full of Voda's bloatware.
The seller has obviously just unlocked it but not bothered to debrand it.
It has been sim unlocked as it accepts my T-mobile sim fine.
What's the easiest way to get a stock htc rom on it?
I don't know if the seller has already used goldcard to sim unlock it?
It does have 2 dubious looking files installed on it that are not on my stock DHD:
HTC Function test Program
HTC IME Test
Both of these have unofficial-looking icons
The software build number is:
1.39.161.1 CL278886
Thanks for any help I get
You can just root it using visionary with that software version, once rooted look in the android development section, there are two one click tools for s-off, run them both, once s-off, you can download rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery, then you are free to install a custom rom or a stock like rom..... or you can make a goldcard, and then flash a generic htc ruu. I know the first method looks complicated, but its alot easer than messing about with hex editors making a goldcard

Thank you.
I've done it now.
It was easier than I thought it would be but it's all thanks to you.
is it possible to unlock the sim card through rooting the defy instead of buying a code?
when I rooted/s-off the desire HD along with those the utility i used unlocked the sim card so that my phone could be used with any carrier.
I hope this hasn't already been asked, I've searched.
any info would be great!
Thanks!
thanks to crakeron.
her is it.
