So I have been searching around here for quite a long time and the only solutions that I found is either to ask one from T mobile or to buy an unlock code.
My question is, is there a rom or something that I could flash so that my hd2 would be sim unlocked?
Or is there a way to sim unlock this for free besides asking the code from T mobile?
Many thanks to those who would answer
edit:
or maybe someone who is a T mobile user could request a sim unlock code for me. It would be greatly appreciated

I am not a T-Mobile user, and I guess you are not too. Your best bet and easiest is probably buying an unlock code. You could search some of the threads and see which online services are the best. No ROM can unlock the SIM on your phone.

Yep, two options, no more.
If you can find a download for a LEODIAG.zip file you can SIM unlock it with that. You run the file just like you would if you were going to flash a ROM via SD card. Just follow the on screen instructions select yes to everything and when the process is done either do a battery pull or press the reset button to boot the device back into the RoM. Now I am not sure if you absolutely have to have a Windows Mobile ROM on the device when you do this but I suggest you flash Windows Mobile ROM before you run the LEODIAG. zip just to be safe.

can this be done while running windows mobile and not having magdlr/cwm?
edit:
so I found a LEODIAG.zip and I saw on the thread that it doesn't really sim unlock your phone.
have you already unlocked a phone using this way? if yes, please do tell the specific steps
I've played with leodiag and I'm pretty sure it can't unlock it. (Otherwise I'm sure we'd all know about it,, ,we've had Leodiag a long time)
I've attached it,,its not really a zip, I just added .zip for the file upload filter.

After reading your post Sam I think you are correct I confused myself yesterday cause I was thinking about me using a DIAG file to unlock my Sensation. But there is another option to SIM unlock the HD2, you can use the XTC Clip to SIM unlock it and it does use a LEODIAG.nbh file bit it is not all it uses. With all the numerous videos on YouTube I can not believe it is not a better video on using the XTC Clip with the HD2, in fact I can only find the same two videos I found the first time I looked on YouTube several months ago. The below is the best of the two.
not unlock but is a good solution for me...
I buy a Simple Mobile sim card from ebay .99 cents and i just make a number portability by myself . Well done.. i have my same phone number but with simple mobile in tmobile phone. Actually simple moblie work on all tmobile phones.

Try change to Simple Mobile. Its work for me. My wife has a htc leo and i have a galaxy 2 both tmobile. We are simple mobile now.
The new game for most of download
--Wind-up Knight
--Mega Jump
--Cut ropes
leodiag will not unlock your network.
If anybody has experience, can someone guide me to a good site which does unlocking for the TMobile Prism and how much they charge.

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.

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.
When I install a customer Rom like cyanogenmod, do I get my phone automaticlly simple unlocked? If not is there any way I can do it for free?

No, installing another rom does not automatically unlock it for you.
You first need to Root your phone by using z4root.1.3.0.apk on your handset and then do a procedure which may differ from phone unlock or sim unlock whatever yours may be. (do a search for that)
It is not hard but the first step is to find the Root my GT540 method but you just need to get a code which some folks sell, or can generate for you.
Here is the method,
Step 1. Make your LG GT540 Android Phone in Standby mood.
Step 2. Open the dialer of your LG Optimus GT540.
Step 3. Input 2945#*540# and press send.
Step 4. Input the provided unlock code. (provided by where ever)
Step 5. Click Unlock.
So, back to the code, I cant remember where or how I done mine as it was long ago (so it feels anyway).
Hahahaha, wow I really don't like this phone. Having to pay for the unlock code sucks, hahaha. I have an HTC Inspire 4G and all I did was to downgrade the Radio and Kernel to a custome one, that gave me access to set the carriers' Radio S-OFF, unlocking my phone. But anyway, is good to know that not all android phones work the same way.
Thank you very much for your answers. At the end I payed $14.95 that was the cheapest code I found, and they deliver it in 2 hours.
Thank you zzsomebody for giving me the steps to activate the code. Also thank you Quinny899 for your fast response, and for opening my eyes on this.

lock not in rom, lock in AMSS(radio)this part run in separated core (arm7 -- yes you phone have 2 cores)
If you are reffering to NETWORK LOCK, sorry dear company provider is not that stupid just to leave their pre-tied phone easily hacked to make sure they make money out of you.
I agree with the to core virtue: its just more like a BIOS of our phone.
---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------
And by the way these pre-tied phones are a little bit cheaper than unlock phone so please don't blame the unit.
So, I was told it was unlocked but I had no way to confirm.... I had dealt with this guy before, so I was not too worried about it. I put in my telus sim and it says pin unlock code....
So, can I unlock/root/rom it... if I do not know what carrier it is locked to? Is there a way to find out?
Any links or suggestions appreciated. specific links appreciated.
I found an unlock code for $7, good enough
thx
That is what I paid on ebay

Don't matter who it used to be locked to, get an online retailer to supply an unlock code (you need the imea), boom your done.
Unlocking / root is different. Basically unlocking refers to unlocking the bootloader of the ROM (nothing to do with the sim card), and rooting allows you root access to the file system, kinda like being an admin on a windows computer, you have the ability to edit / replace (an possibly F*** up) system files. There are plenty of great write ups that explain this stuf waaaaaay further but that is the gist of it.

I'm sure the free tool on the play store is able to unlock the tab providing you're rooted, someone put a post up on xda about it, just have a search for it.

Hmm didnt see that your right. I have to see this, my GS5 has been sitting here with a bad esn due to early termination from the previous owner and honestly I dont use it like I use my LG G2 because of that.
UPDATE
Still tracking down what triggers the SHA256 to turn off so that it would read my sim. I did place my sim back into my GSIII so I can have service in the mean time but my sim is locked to 3G. Something happened to the sim when fiddling around with the settings on the S5.
For those who want to play around and see if they can find the trigger all you have to do is have: Root, SuperSU, BusyBox, and Shortcut Master Lite installed. Allow Shortcut Master root privileges and click menu Secret Code Explorer and go through the codes one by one.
Like I said im still trying to find out what exactly triggered the SHA256 to turn off.
I see there are some skeptics posting comments, just feel free to post a different unlock method if your not happy with waiting on this one!

I did not have to enter any unlock codes or NY codes for that matter. I just went thru each code, opened it up and see what is had to offer and see what I could change.

Yes, G550T1 VARIANT can be network unlocked. I flashed the CP field in Odin with a stock Rom (a piece of it, not AP, BL, or CSC or .pit) and then used the app that's usually in a MetroPCS folder. Purple and has a key hole on the icon. Luckily, metro approved it and unlocked it.. I doubt you still need this information knowing post is like 8 months old but, I will upload the necessary files tonight and post a link. Sure this well help another person curious of the same thing one day.. hope I've helped

There is a built in apl thzt unlocks the phone within 1 min.
As long as you had service on it for a certain amount of time with metro pcs.
Not sure about any other carrierz.
Look in your device apps. Its not hidden.
