Hi all ,
Is it easy to unlock an O2 UK branded HD Mini to sim free status ?
If so , how do I go about doing it ?
The last time I had to unlock a phone , it was with a couple of Nokias , and easy enough .
Thanks
As for as I am aware you'll need to get an unlock code from a shop or an internet site by giving your IMEI number

Gone are the good old days of having a little .exe program saved on my pc for unlocking phones !!
Have you any recomendations for a reliable website ?
How much do they charge these days ?
Will flashing with a generic ROM get rid of the sim lock / restriction ?
Thanks .
Just a little update ,
I didn't need to get the phone unlocked .
I just popped my sim card in and it worked with no problems
Is there any way to remove the o2 branding from the phone ?
What about ROM updates ?
There is a new rom listed on the HTC site , but when I enter my serial number/IMEI it tells me my device does not qualify .
I assume it's because my phone has an o2 Rom installed on it .
Can this be replaced with a stock HTC Rom ?
Thanks

i suggest to use this tutorial, i had a vodafone rom in my phone, and this thread helped allot for me
Hey there,
first of all, english is not my main-language.
So I got my Samsung Omnia 7 repaired because I got this ****ty Bootloop-Problem. I googled this problem and I found various Thread that said "go flash it!"
So I flashed it with an old T-Mobile Firmware.
Well...I contacted Samsung and they got me a new one today (they repaired it). So it's working again but now I have the T-Mobile Firmware on the phone which results in having a Netlock. So my E-Plus Simcard isn't working anymore.
I've already flashed the phone once again with a custom ROM but there's still a netlock. Simlock, SP lock etc. are all on "disabled", only the Netlock is "enabled".
So...Is it even possible to "unlock" my phone with a custom software? I mean...it was fully unlocked...then I used this ****ty T-Mobile Firmware-flash-thinngy and now it's locked. Do I have to pay for this Unlock-Code? Or can I flash it "away" with a special custom ROM?
Would be nice If someone could help me out here!
Cheers and thanks in advance
EDIT :
I got this T-Mobile firmware my Phone has a small "Orange" Logo on it's back and the manual was in french so I think it's from Orange France....so there's no Chance to get in contact with them! Got the Phone from ebay last year!
Hi
I bought m2 on polsich ebay alternative the description says that is should be simlock free
Previous ovner says that he check the phone with few sims from my country ant wth few foreign ones and it works with him.
With my 3 sims from difrent networks it demands from me " SIM network unlock PIN"
At the begining phone has 2.2 English Vodaphone brand
I check it wit every cyanogenmod on this forum and ithat problem don't go away
now i'm traying sbf files but the chances are small.
I't is posible that when I put my sim card the simlock came back
Is there a way to get rid of this probelm without some simlock imei code calculator website? google says that it may or may not work.
I don't now why simlock came back but this site help me unlock my phone again

Hi all,
hopefully i'm posting in the right place.
I got an LG stylo 3 that have a sim lock only for T-mobile(USA). i want to unlock him to use the carrier in my country.
i already spoke with Tmobile and they told my if i want to unlock the phone i have to work with them for one year ( and i dont want it)
i read some guide on the internet and they sell an activation codes. the problem that i don't have any place to enter the code ( in there giud they say that i should get an activation message when im insert a new SIM card - and i don't get any message)
there is a way to unlock the phone? maybe installing new ROM?
thank you for your help
I don't know if this is relevant anymore to you but i just did this yesterday. AFAIK, there's no way to network unlock this via software. You'll have to go to any store that do Network unlocking, it costed me 30US$ here in MIami
