Hello,
Would somebody advise if the HSPL 2.08 unlocks the HD2 to use with different carrier? Long time ago I unlocked my T-Mobile HD to be used with custom ROMs. Today I switched service from T-Mobile to AT&T and found HD2 asking me for unlock PIN. I thought the phone was carrier unlocked with HSPL.
Is there a way to get the unlock pin for the phone for free,besides calling T-Mobile?
Thanks
No!
HSPL only unlocks it to be flashed to another ROM.
In your case you need a sim/network unlock code.
If you have a contract with TMobile you should ask them an unlock code, otherwise you should buy one on-line(ebay or whatever).
That's what I figured. Thanks for clarification.
what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network

Could be a few things.
But some questions first.
1) Are you on Winmo or Android or WP7?
2) Are you 100% sure your SIM card is in the phone correctly?
I am on Winmo also have tried using wp7 and android but no luck

Hello. I have bought a HTC HD2 in Spain locked to Vodafone.
I have already installed HSPL2 and installed the portuguese offical ROM (insted of the default spanish).
However, the phone wont accepted my portuguese SIM card. What do i have to do to unlock it?
Tks
i answered your other duplicate post in the HSPL thread.

no, rom lock and sim lock are not connected. You need to either get the code from vodaphone spain, or buy an unlock code online.

heh,. dont be sorry.
No, i dont, i havent unlocked mine. I'm with O2 who have a free unlock service, BUT their 28 day service has taken 4 months so far, still no unlock code, hehe. Good job i dont need it unlocked!
There are a fair number of threads on here about sites like htcunlock.com (or whatever its called) with lots of feedback.
Put 'unlock hs2' into google, , loads of results.
I unlocked a T-Mobile USA & European HD2 here
Got codes back in under 48hrs & even contacted me to correct IMEI as I done a typo, oops ... codes worked fine & are so simple to use.
Worth noting you will need to be on WM OS to unlock the HD2, fortunately all our work HD2s are on WM OS .
you can contact your service provider

Actually you don't need to be!
I had my Tmo HD2 on Android when I put my FarEasTone SIM in. It just asked me to enter the unlock code and I did, it worked just fine.

I Flashed a TMobile Hd2 to Markinux HD eXTRA cLEAN
Now does that make it unlocked to other carriers?
Or do I still need to do something else?
Thanks ahead of time!

No it does not unlock your phone. You will need to call Tmobile and ask for unlock code. Also you can go to ebay and get unlock code from there...
No. your phone is still locked to the carrier, you have to unlock the phone with a code number, either from the carrier or buy one from online company.
Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks
Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck
thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?
No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.
quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running
I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone
I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?
Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.
I have flashed Tmobile HD2 with NexusHD2-Gingerbread but noticed that I can't still use AT&T Sim. Can someone help to explain how to get it to work?
Thanks.
hd2 can't use at&t 3g for one thing. next if you're talking about network connection and phone calls, that does seem strange. what radio version do you have? try looking through older threads about what radios are good for which carriers

Uhh. Just wondering are you trying to unlock your HD2 by flashing that rom? Then what you're doing won't unlock your phone. You have to get an unlock code.

Agree - to get it to work with AT&T sim card you will need the code for it. Once you put SIM Card in it will ask you to type in Unlocking Network Code or something like that - you enter it and that's it - it is unlocked...
FYI I did it under different ROM but it worked fine.

Can't tell by your signature where you are located but if you are in America, you can contact T-Mobile online, give them the IMEI number to your phone, then they will send you in a couple of days, the instructions and unlock code for your phone.

Easy!
No need any unlock code! just hack your HSPL, and flash a new radio, your phone will automatically unlock!
Android is not native to HD2 so I'm sure it is ALREADY unlocked

You're both incorrect here, unlocking usually refers to a sim unlock, therefore flashing a new ROM will have no effect on unlocking the phone. As the people above you said, you have to buy an unlock code, input the new sim then enter the unlock code (or something along those lines, haven't done it before).
Also, why bother reopening an old, solved thread simply to post an answer to a question which has already been answered? If you're trying to get 10 posts, do it on the newer threads, not the ones from early 2011.
