Unlocking my Orange Touch

Hey
Just bought a HTC touch, locked to Orange network, and would love to unlock it for O2
I have looked at this Thread CLICK HERE
However user 'pof' is saying I need to unlock my touch in 'RAPI, which means nothing to me.
And looked at this Thread CLICK HERE which mentions nothing about RAPI or any other extra files I required
Any help would be great
(sorry if similar threads exist)

whatwhat101, you've found the good link but you are not reading !!! Rishi says to install first Cert_Spcs.cab and then EnableRapi.cab, these 2 progs are attached along with the Unlock at the bottom as attachments.
Good luck...

HTC touch pin problem
Hi Guys,
I bought a HTC touch. I got an unlock code through a software in this forum. My problem is that when I put a foreign sim card, it is asking me for some pin number. I am not really sure what that pin number is as I never set one.
Can you help me reset it to some default number.
What is the defualt number for HTC touch. I should try that too.
Cheers

If you unlock it then kiss goodbye to any warranty from Orange. And if you **** up the unlock you will have an expensive little useless object of art.
Mine is on Orange and I think orange is great but now I have changed my white case to black my warranty has gone but I am still not tempted to unlock it, too risky for me.

Possible to unlock?

Hello,
Is it possible to unlock this phone? I am currently on Orange with it but would like to use it on o2.
Thanks for your help.

There is no free tool available yet, so you have to pay for an unlock code. Just take a look in the forum, you will find various offers.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't necessarily looking for a free code, i was questioning weather my local phone shops would be able to do it. I will give them a call when i finish work just to make sure.
Thanks.

You don't necessarily need certain software/hardware to get it unlocked.
As long as you are willing to pay and trust the company, you need to provide imei code, model and network and then you will receive the unlock code which can be easily entered to the device without need for any specific applications.

HTC Wildfire Unlock request info

Hi guys i am very new on this subject and i just need some info about unlocking my wildfire.
I read quite a few post but i didn't found something step by step and finally to work.
So basically i just need to unlock my phone from the network(vodafone)so i can use it in other networks.
So what is the best solution:
1.Gold card
2.Unrevoked
3.ROM FLASHING GUIDE FOR NOOBs(if it works).
Thanks and sorry for opening a new thread even if so much information can be found on this site.
A quick walkthrough would be much apreciated for a solution.

Well I have done all the steps you pointed out and I'm still locked to t-mobile so I guess gold card, root and flash is not enough to unlock it but only to debrand your phone.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

You cannot unlock a phone with the code from the provider or unlocker

@Skye Menjou

I typo'd there I meant without. =P

Thanks for your feedback it seems i don't have other choice but this. Except HTCsimUnlock you now other trusty sites so i can get a sim code .

I tried htcsimunlock.com but they said they couldn't unlock it for 20$ what I have paid already,so I should pay them another 20$ and then they maybe can unlock it...I sayd no, they refunded my money. So it wasn't such a good experience for me.

Well as far as i know a lot of ppl are facing problems getting codes from htccodes.com and htcsimunlock.com just for everyone's info..
SIM UNLOCK IS NOT DEBRANDING, ROOTING, GOLDCARD.. Its an entirely different thing so do not confuse these things..and one should use Sim Unlocker / Code generator for the same which is not yet available for wildfire ..

I got one from mobileunlocked.co.uk it wasn't cheap at £23.50 but I couldn't find anyone else who could do it. 3 or 4 dites said they could but I ended up getting refunded
Mine was locked to 3 and I needed Vodafone

If your phone is new, ie manufactured after the month of May, it will cost you more and many sites do not have access to this latest database.

How can you tell the manufacture date? a sticker on the phone?
Any chance of a free unlock code?

Htc wildfire great phone rooted and with psfreeedom great stuff but still locked.
I read some post on the samsung galaxyS and they have a aplication for android and works like this :
Step 1, Get the code:
Install the app below. When you run the app, it will search for the unlock and unfreeze codes on your phone.
After it aquires the codes, they will be saved to your sd card in a text file. You can also write them down or email them to yourself with the email button.
Step 2, Enter code:
Power down the phone
Put in a SIM card from another carrier
Power up the phone When it boots up enter the unlock code when asked
Very simple i really hope that someone can help us with something like this for wildfire.

What application? Below?

Those steps were only a example of how the application works ,the orginal thread you can find here:
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045

the app is exclusively for Samsung. Tried it on the wildfire but nothing. will search more deep for a free unlock solution

I am not sure it work, this app specialy for samsung ...

At htcsimunlock.com it states:
MPORTANT – Please read prior to purchasing any codes.
You must first check to see if your phone accepts an unlock code. To do this simply insert a different network sim card into your mobile phone and see if the unlock code screen is displayed. If a screen where you must enter the unlock code is not displayd, or if you don't have this option in your phone menu, please do NOT purchase an unlock code. If you still go ahead and order then we will provide you with the unlock code but you will NOT be able to enter it and you will NOT be eligible for a refund.

My phone doesn't even give me the option to enter the unlock code. Any ideas?

I have been trying to get a handset network unlocked that I bought last week. None of the online services I have tried have been able to provide a code and have therefore refunded me.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Unlocking Desire HD

Hi there,
I found few websites that offer an unlock code, but I just wanted to check it with you guys which service is the most reliable.
My Desire HD is on its way to me, but it will be locked to T-Mobile UK and I will need it unlocked.
Any recommendations? Or perhaps there is a DIY, free way to unlock it?
Thanks

Yep, there is a free way to unlock it. Over in the Dev section there is a tool to Root, S-OFF, Unlocked CID & SimUnlock all in one.
If you dont want to do all that and just unlock the SIM, I have personally used http://www.unlock-now.com/ for my HTC Hero. I had no problems, and I got a code in 15 minutes.
I've just checked and they support the DHD, just make sure you use your Paypal account, "just in case" there are any problems, atleast you'd get your money back.

Thanks a lot for a clear answer
I'll try the "free" way first, otherwise I will go to the site you provided.
Although when you said about money back I'm not sure about this. I bought something once from one of the worldwide websites and something went wrong and when I wanted to get my money back, PP said that they don't support "other" websites than eBay. But it may have changed now.
Thanks for your help anyway I will definitely go for it.

No problem at all.
I can confirm that if you log in to your PayPal account then pay, you should still be covered. I previously tried to buy a unlock code for my Hero from >> www.htccode.com <<, I did not recieve my code and submitted a PayPal dispute. After 21 days or so I got my money back.
I wouldn't recommend that site to anyone, others may have used it and had success. Strangely Google Chrome now flags the site "Malware Detected".

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S which can be easily unlocked by code. A friend want to buy a HTC Desire HD, so we want to know about the unlock as well.
I was looking at the Tool Radio S-Off. I want to know if it's the same as unlocking by code, or I will lost my SimUnlock by restoring the Desire HD?

The tool in the Dev section is very different from a code you would normally buy.
If you or your friend is comfortable and experienced in using the SDK, adb & fastboot then you should have no problems in using this tool.
Make sure you read & re-read any steps before you perform them. I almost bricked my wife's SGS! - Fortunately her's did not have a faulty download/recovery.

I almost broke my SGS many time and I have a faulty device without R&D. Luckily, it can be fixed but I always check its avaibility before every flash.
My friend know nothing about IT in general, that's why I want to know there is a tool which can generate the code like the case of SGS (as I understand, the code is available in the phone itself for the SGS, but it may not be the case for the Desire HD).

I don't know how this tool works, whether it retrieves a stored code or not.
If you've read though the guides and its something you'd want to try both for the experience and an unlocked DHD then I'd be happy to help should you get stuck.

Will I loose unlock when Android will be updated to future firmwares?

No, once you have SimUnlocked your DHD that is it. It will not locked again.

Good
So is this guide good for the first-time-android-user? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
What's missing in this guide for noobs? Things like, at which point should I connect my DHD to the computer? Does all these apps work under win7 64-bit? Or do I have to install any additional software etc etc?
Thanks
