Hello, i'm stucked in unlocking of my HD2 T8585, i was on Android, and i tryied the unlock code from phone company many times, then i googled and knew that i have to goback to wm 6.5, which i did, and now i can't put the unlock code it says : u tryed .... u need to waint until timeout or something like that.
What to do !!
thahts the problem, we dont know how many tries locks it, and for how long, because its different with different phones, and it also depends how many locks its had, some phones lock for an hour after ten tries, then a day after ten more, then permanently after so many more.
if there's a decent phone shop near you, see if they have the hardware cable available, that will override the soft lock.
Interesting that you say it failed under android, because there is some uncertainty as to whether it can be put in under android or not, , what version android are you running?

Hi everyone,
My phone has been flashed with 2 different roms in the last 48 hours; the reason for this is the lock screen keeps locking me out!
I try something new each time this happens because I spend hours or even days modifying it to my taste!
Can someone please explain why it keeps locking me out and also how to prevent it! and before someone says "Don’t have a passcode" then that is simply not an option!
Also if someone knows a way around this so I can simply change the passcode without having to hard reset then please tells me! this would have been the second time in 48 hours Iv lost data and this has happened about 6 times since I have had the phone from November
Cheers,
Does it say incorrect pin? or just hangs?
incorrect pin! and its the right pin!
and then if I soft reset and try and enter it then it says incorrect pin but if I then type something else in it hangs!
Ive had the same problem with the stock rom. I use Artemis HD2 v9.0 in the rom section. Hes bringing out V10 tomorrow might be worth putting that on. Ive not had that problem since.
seen that reported a lot in conjunction with swype 3.9 on non tmous phones

Havn't got swype and never had it, I read its a bug with 6.5 and 6.5.3 fixes it but I dont like 6.5.3 so im in a catch 22 situation.
Im assuming you guys didnt find away around it or hear from anyone who had then?
I don't know if this is related but my phone keeps frezzing in the lock screen. It happens twice each day and I need to remove the battery to get my phone working again. I have tried several roms and several radios and it happens before to place any extra program (done hard reset etc)
It was not happening with the stock rom. I guess that perhaps it is a problem of the HSPL2? I don't see anything else that has a common link.
well, I used to have a pin lock on my ipaq, now with this hd2 I've become fearless, and have no phone/sim pin enabled at all.
Anyway, as far as I know the PIN lock on the hd2 has been reported way too often to be defective, as in it "forgets" the code, so after N unlocks, you'll have a device that will never recognize your -correct- pin, requiring a hard reset.

so could it be something in the registry?
I know its a long shot but registry normally has control for things like expiry and load counts
I think I have gathered more information about this problem and I have created a separate thread describing what the problem may be, please go here to understand what im on about.
More info: Phone is going into a read only like state!
I have had this too a few times. I had to remove the battery to have it fixed, because the phone didn't switch off.
Just in case anyone is reading this that could help, i am trying to get a cab that will revert the HD2 back to the stock windows mobile unlock screen for the pin input. the HTC one seems to have a few issues, and i prefer the stock windows one.

If WM lock bringing much trouble, try http://pocketshield.net which is easier to manage and has even more usefull features.
i just got the phone yesterday HTC HD2 and i got the unlock code for it so i can use at&t but when i tried to put the code it already said
you have tried 14 times, please wait until timeout...
do any of you guys know any solution..or anyway to put it in timeout
i know i searched the forum but no answer to it yet
please help if you can
thanks in advance
anybody? is there anyway to override this
you only get so many tries at entering a code. I dont know the exact number, i think it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, i think its usually around 7 times, then you have to wait (an hour maybe, perhaps longer) then you get some more goes, but if you get it wrong again it locks out for longer/permanently, unless you take it to a shop that can directly access it with a cable, and it will allow some more tries.
When i first read about this, on a different phone, about two years ago, it was 7 tries at entering through keypad, wait an hour, then 7 more tries then locked, plus 10 tries through the cable, then it was completely locked.
If you have any kind of receipt, you probably wanna kick up a fuss with the seller.
same problem
i've tried 19 times
i'm waiting 33 h now and it is impossible insert any code
I am recording my experience here for others to see.
I had an HTC HD2 Leo with WM6.5 locked to Orange. I had updated it to Pure Gingerbread gpc and then to BoyPPC. I then purchased (see * below) a code to unlock the phone so that I could use a 'three' 3GB SIM.
The code was accepted as "Network unlock successful", but I got no service, no networks, no APNs - nothing - and the phone reported "Error while searching for networks". Furthermore I had to enter the unlock code each time I booted from cold and when I switched airplane mode off.
Chris10230 suggested something was not being saved properly and I should restore the phone to its original state and try again.
However, I tried WP7 with similar results ie "PIN accepted" when entering the unlock code, when using the connection set up app I got "Warning There is no SIM card or PIN code has not been input". Again I had to repeat entering the code.
Eventually I put WM6.5 back on the phone entered the unlock code and everything appeared to work properly ie I had a service from 'three' and did not need to re-enter the code.
In summary with an Orange HTC HD2 there is a problem unlocking under Android and WP7 while WM6.5 works fine.
I hope these notes are useful to someone. Don't expect more from me on this as I have just strated learning about Android and SmartPhones.
* HTCimeiUnlock.com provided the unlock code for $25 through PayPal. When I contacted them about the problems I had above they responded promptly and provided an immediate refund even though the unlock code they provided eventually proved good and the problem lay in my phone.
Well I have never unlocked my phome but from what I have been told by others here on XDA you have to use Windows Mobile to SIM unlock your HD2 as it is the native OS and is the only OS that can properly SIM unlock the HD2. I do not know this for 100% truth but my assumption on this is to properly SIM unlock your HD2 the OS has to be able to interface with the boot partition of the NAND memory or more spacificaly the IPL of bootloader. Seeing that Android or WP7 really do not have a interface capobilities with the boot partition or IPL of the HD2 it can not reset the values in the IPL to make the unlock permanent. I could be totally wrong though I am just going on what I do know about how the HD2 works, if I am please chime in and straightin me out as I would like to know. For one to see if I am right and two to find out what the real reason is.
Cheers
Would like reiterate what Fuzz99 said here.
I have a Tmobile HD2 and when I tried entering the unlock code via Windows Phone 7 7720, it came pin accepted but the phone was *STILL* SIM locked. However, when I flashed the stock WM6.5 Tmobile rom (got from the Tmobile site) back into it, the moment I entered the unlock code it immediately unlocked with everything working
Heads up to any Tmobile user facing the same problem
hey guys.
After you unlocked it using the stock ROM, did you then re-flash to another ROM?
IF yes, did it still remain unlocked?
Thanks,
yes it will forever remain unlocked, no matter what you do to it.
It needs to be on WinMo to unlock it? But I was able to put in the unlock code from T-mobile on NAND Android and use a FarEasTone SIM card just fine though.
yea i saw you post that the other day and thought it was strange. could it already be unlocked?

I don't think it was. I bought it on Craiglist here in the US and it was locked to T-mobile, so I asked the original owner to get the unlock code for me. I knew it was locked because when I put my FarEasTone SIM in, it prompted me for the unlock code. I put the code in [ I was on a Runnymede Sense ROM if that makes any difference], and I've tried it with my friend's AT&T SIM as well, and it works [ on 2G only of course, but still]. It's remained fine as well when changing from NAND Android to WM 6.5 to Mango.

Hey guys, I have had this problem and just found this thread after the fact. I may have spammed the code a little bit in frustration...22 times...
Now that I have reflashed stock WM it says i have to wait until timeout. Any idea if it is permanently locked or if I just have to bunker down and wait it out? Thanks so much.
Patience

Never encountered this personally, but as I heard, you should maintain it powered on and just have some patience...
Thinking it twice, you should be lucky to work after (just) 22 times!
Depends on the phone, some lock for a few hours after 5 attempts then accept another 5 then lock for longer, some take 10 then another ten a few hours later, but in most cases (never seen it, just what I've read) after so many tries they can only be unlocked by hardware cable.
No idea what the numbers and times are for the hd2 though.
You have tried 18 times,please wait until timeout..
I have an Htc Hd2..am i'm triyng to unlocked it..and i could'nt because my phone turn this screen with .."you have tried 18 times....."..i waited 24 hr..and for nothing..it's still the same..please help me..wait can i do?

please tell me if you find something...i have the same problem like you with my HTc hd2..18 times..thank you..
I have done an HD2 on 8 failed code attempts but not experienced beyond this.
If you can wait, give it 2 or 3 days, if in hurry or code input does not come available find a local cable & software unlock specialist.
Hi! I have a problem with my HD2. My phone is locked to orange and i want to use vodafone. In past i have entered 10 wrong codes for unlocking and now i see on display " You have tried 10 times, please wait until timeout... " How much time do i must to wait until i can insert the valid code from vodafone to remove simlock? I flashed my phone with official rom from HTC Europe "ROM Update for HTC HD2 (3.14.405.2)" also i flashed it with Radio 2.15.50.14. I know that i made a mistake when i have inserted 10 times the wrong code for unlocking. Now i don't konw how to fix this? Is anyone there who can help me?
Thanks!
don't know exact time but set device to stay awake (screen on) & also put it on a charger, then go to lock screen timeout & leave it for hours/days until you see code can be inserted.
Some people say counter only runs when device awake, some people have waited about 7 days before being able to enter code again.
Don't know how many wrong attempts can be made before unlocking is blocked ! 10 is pushing your luck a bit ...
I have connected my phone to charger and now i'l wait until will appear on display to insert the unlock code. It can be 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, also can be 1 year ) I told my problem to HTC help center but they told me to press volume up down and power to reset to default factory settings but it didn't work. Thank you Mister B!
Hey there, first time poster , long time user of this site. I started using this site about four years ago when I needed help modifying a HTC one V, and from there on out I haven't been able to stop modding and rooting. This site has been so helpful, you have no idea
To date I haven't had many issues with the unlocking of boot loaders and rooting, installing roms and also network unlocking.....Until today.
I am currently trying to network unlock a Samsung s5 neo. I did indeed buy the unlock code from Koodo (the original service provider). However (heres where its going to get weird), no matter how many times I try putting the darn code in, it plain well just refuses to take it. I can sit here all day and nadda a thing will happen.. IN FACT I thought after 10 times it would hard lock its self, resulting in me having to buy a unfreeze code. But nupe.
I'v used 3 different sim cards to try to get this phone unlocked but nothing, Bell Mobility from my LG G5 phone, A PC mobile sim and a Eastlink sim (By the way I'm from Canada)
I tried flashing (odin) with koodo OEM roms, from the first one which i think was 5.1 up to 6.** not sure where it left off. Even went as far as flashing with Telus rom, as koodo is the sister of Telus, and still it sits there pretty much laughing at me.
Factory reset from both with in the OS and the recovery menu, used every code for the phone dialer and half refuse to work. Installed shortcut master (Yes I'm rooted) and keeps saying locked. Also been trying to sim unlock both unrooted and rooted.
I'm completely mind blowen, i even said what the heck and bought a code off line for kicks and sure enough as soon as it showed up in my inbox, same EXACT code Koodo gave me. So we know the code is right.
Any help would be great as I'm at a complete lost. this is the first phone iv had , i'v ever had this much troubles unlocking. OH and if it helps "KNOX" is disabled
P.S I have no idea if i posted this in the right forum , sorry if i didn't.
Thanks
