I've just got my hands on a HTC3600/Trinity, but it currently has a Spanish version installed on it. I've read through the forums about re-flashing and downloaded a generic WWE version.
I've gone into the bootloader and typed info 2 as directed on another thread and it replies with: HTCS11111111Я©îHTCE
Does having the CID set to all 1's as above mean that it is already a supercid?
Thanks in Advance.
yes, that probably means it's already SuperCID... can u check the output of "task 32" command? Is this a preproduction device? Check also if there's any difference with SD card inserted and without it.

Cmd>task 32
Level = 0
I don't have a miniSD to hand so the slot is currently empty.
Not sure if its a preproduction device or not.. the only clue I might have is that the casing is completely unbranded, just a plain white shell.
I have got the same. this is supercid phone. Likely one of those that HTC sends to carriers for testing purposes.
>> unbranded casing.
ok. for sure DEMO unit sent to carriers by HTC.
Is there any other useful info I can give to anyone before I start trying to flash this?
Can you check your bootloader version?

SPL-1.05.1000
At least, I think thats the bootloader??
my first post ever...apologies in advance
If the Trinity was not purchased through a provider and has no afilliation with any provider, is it already CID unlocked? Feel free to call me a moron. I tried looking around, but can't seem to get this through my head properly.
Can someone educate me about this CID deal? What is CID and what difference does it make if its locked or unlocked?
I bought my phone on ebay, poped in a SIM card, and it worked. That means its unlocked?

SIM lock: the phone will work only with a SIM from a certain operator. A phone that is not branded by an operator is never SIM-locked. So your phone is probably a standard HTC branded phone, it is not SIM-locked and you can use any SIM.
CID lock: the phone software can only be modified/upgraded with another version for the same CID. I think it stands for Country ID; this means that a phone with French Windows Mobile can only accept an upgrade of French Windows Mobile. It is probably required by Microsoft to license the software to OEMs to avoid piracy (I suppose). HTC uses the CID also to distinguish their various distribution channels, so a DOPOD branded device and an HTC branded device have different CIDs. A phone that is not locked to any country version or to any distribution channel has a SuperCID and will accept all WM software whatever the language, etc. Your phone is probably CID-locked.

No, a standard HTC phone is CID-locked. See my previous message for details.
Hi all,
if i unlock CID it will break the warranty?
Is there any software to check SID lock...?

Use MTTY (available via a link on the Trinity Wiki page) and follow the instructions on the wiki pages about going into bootloader.
Once you're connected and talking to the phone type, info 2. It will then respond with your CID.

Most probably....
Just great... Just found out that mine is already a supercid one...
Hiya,
I've recently bought an Orange HTC hero off ebay
Searching around there seem to be several ways to get around the simlock:
i) Buy a RebelSim
ii) Flash to a Non Orange Rom and buy a unlockcode
iii) Unlock CID lock with bespoke serial cable and buy an unlock code
iv) ??
I'm not so keen on chopping my simcard or option 1 would be the way to go?
option 3 seems the least destructive but I've never been great with a soldering iron!!
is there another option (iv?) ive not yet found or your experiences on the above would be helpfull
Thanks
(ii) is probably the easiest, but before parting with your cash, check that you can definitely get the code for your device. As far as I'm aware http://www.htccode.com does not have problems with Orange phones anymore as long as you've flashed the ROM to something else.
Regards,
Dave

just a quick one, you did try an orange sim in it didnt you>? make sure its not blacklisted?
checked it
I used a checkmend report before purchase to verify it was legit
There just seem to be specific issues with the orange heros and unlocking
Have a look over that, something about the orange original software stopping the unlock from working,

You may want to read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708962&page=1which is more up to date then this and speaks of the current easy way to unlock a Hero on Orange includes a link to eBay where you can purchase an unlock code.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a DHD but I can have it from expansys Factory unlocked or from a Mobile Operator Company and then unlocked via IMEI code, my question is is any difference? or advantage or if I unlock the DHD at the end both of them will be exactly the same functionality?
Thanks and sorry for my silly question

The only difference would be whether the mobile operator has put on branding on the software.
sorry but what it means put on branding? like what? Thanks

like a stupid bootlogo, like silly "apps" that just link to their website, etc - BLOATWARE
Ok thanks, but at the end I will receive the updates via HTC no from the Operator?
Thanks guys
from my experience with sony erricsons, there is a "license" within the phones software which determines the unlock status with a red license being in a locked state, blue being factory unlocked, brown being reasearch and development, etc
i dont know if its the same thing, or if it is an analygous system with androids
If you have an Orange branded DHD, for example, you would normally have to wait for Orange to issue an update.
Android Release Timeline
Google --Develop--> HTC --Modify--> Orange --Ruin--> You
However, if you root your DHD, S-OFF & flash custom recovery you will get updates much quicker, albeit officially unsupported by HTC.

With the Touch HD (WM device) the updates for the IMEI unlocked phones had to be from the operator and not from HTC. Maybe it's the same with Android phones...

They come from the operator once they have modified the stock HTC ROMs. So if you buy from a network operator and the phone is branded, you will most probably have to wait for updates, unless you debrand it.
I am buying a New SGS 2, the seller has told me that its factory Unlocked, but I have my doubts that he has De-branded the phone and selling with the name of Factory Unlocked.
Can someone tell me, how would I know if the Seller has Sold me a Debranded phone or a factory Unlocked one?
1.) don't necro threads
2.) this is the DHD forum, it would be better if you post in the SGS2 forum.
btt:
when you use it, there won't be any difference between the factory unlocked and debranded, since you put a factory unlocked ROM on your phone when you debrand it.
BUT it's possible that your warranty is void now since modifying the software isn't covered by warranty. but i'm not sure about that.
i wanna use my htc hd2 wp7 with other cellphone company how can unlock to use with telcel from mexico?
Was the phone unlocked before you installed wp7 on your device.

I was asking me.. the same question..? if you did not unlock the WM6.5 and you flash android or windows p 7, is it possible to NETWORK unlock your cell? or by changing the OS unlocks ur HD2?
Same Q: I have HD2 (win 6.5) locked on T mobile Europe but flashed Android now. Any suggestions?
Insert a non-t-mobile SIM, reboot your phone, and if a prompt/screen pops up asking to input the unlock number or pin, then that means it is locked. Then, go to ebay and search for the cheapest hd2 code you can find.. and follow the instructions.. lol.. The code should arrive instantly via your e-mail and then input the unlock code and your phone should be unlocked.
Hi All
I have had a quick search (At work atm)
Found various threads to remove the Sim lock but they go on and on and on lol.
As its not my HD2 (Friends who not at all tech savvy)
I have HSPL 2.08 installed along with MagDLR1.13 and of course Clockwork Recovery Mod.
With Android Running.
Just wondering is there a free solution to getting the Sim lock removed.
Thank you...
P.S how the sod do you remove the o2 splash screen
yeah im waiting to see answers...
I just picked up a Tmobile HD2, MAGDLR1.3? and clockwork mod.
put in my AT sim and its locked :\ also would like to remove the Tmobile splash...
Sim lock... Either get and unlock code from T-mobile ( or O2) or buy the unlock code online.. those are the easiest ways
As for removing the the splash screens... those are cooked into roms
The first power on screen is an .nbh file that you can find in XDA many different ones..
While the other screens after the bootloader are ROM dependent so flash a custom rom with a different screen or cook your own and remove it
contact o2 to get an unlock code
flash a stock rom and it will remove the o2 boot screen
You can change the o2 splash screen by looking here

I bought a o2 sim locked hd2 about 4 weeks ao. I didnt know anyone with an o2 sim so unlocked my hd2 from HTC-Unlocker.org.
