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.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?
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.
I have flashed Tmobile HD2 with NexusHD2-Gingerbread but noticed that I can't still use AT&T Sim. Can someone help to explain how to get it to work?
Thanks.
hd2 can't use at&t 3g for one thing. next if you're talking about network connection and phone calls, that does seem strange. what radio version do you have? try looking through older threads about what radios are good for which carriers

Uhh. Just wondering are you trying to unlock your HD2 by flashing that rom? Then what you're doing won't unlock your phone. You have to get an unlock code.

Agree - to get it to work with AT&T sim card you will need the code for it. Once you put SIM Card in it will ask you to type in Unlocking Network Code or something like that - you enter it and that's it - it is unlocked...
FYI I did it under different ROM but it worked fine.
Is there an Android/Rom Version that is Ideal for AT&T Network?

Not I'm aware of. HD2 is specifically for T-Mobile and ATT is on the different band. I'm sure the phone will work fine, but I don't think you will have the full features.
But flashing any ROM and changing the APN would work I guess.
Good luck
I have an unlocked HD2 and I'm using the ROM in my sig (it's a link) I'd recommend that one, it's just superb and the chap who updates it (Tyween) is really on the ball and releases a new version every so often so that the latest updates are always available.
It's not so much the ROM that'll dictate how well your carrier will work, but the radio. Have a look around, there may be one that works especially well with AT&T
Thank you I will copy the values you have in your signature
No worries I hope you have as much enjoyment out of it as I do

Can you tell me what your internet settings are?
Hi all,
........
..
.
There are so many ROMs available, and there are two options for an HD2, SD build and NAND Build; SD implies just copy paste on a the ROM on the SD card and you are done to boot. And NAND ones are a little hard to install but good on the long run

they should all work for att
i have an unlocked hd2 and use it with att
when you install a rom and it gets to the setup up
screen it will let you pick which carrier you want
just chose att and it will or should set everything up
for you
i know it does for me and ive never had any problems
with mms and internet

I have to say I've not experienced any internet issues. I don't use data because that costs monies but I do use wifi, no special settings though, just as it comes.

MMS and Mobile Data configuration settings were automatically downloaded to the phone when I plugged in my AT&T SIM.
It basically configured itself.

If you click on the part of my signature that says Cyanogen it will take you right to the ROM download OP by Tyween.

This may be a noob question but in order for me to use the HD2 on my ATT acct. Does the rom have to be an unlocked rom? Or do i have to mod a file(s) on the phone/sd card.

Nope, just install it and go. The phone does have to be sim unlocked in order to work on AT&T though. I have Rafdroid Froyo on my HD2 and it works great on AT&T.
OK i finally understood how to add nand android to the hd2 and i have tried 2 version niether of them recognize at&t as a network. I went to available settings under networks and and it gave me at&t as an option but when i selected it. the prompt Registering on at&t then it said unable to connect to this network at this time try again later
is there another setting i should be changing do i need to re enter my sim unlock code if so where do i do that

I unlocked mine using www.gsmliberty.net It costs money though. Not unless you know someobe on TMobile.
Folks! this is tested on Desire 816N with HBOOT 3.18 others do at your own risk. (Single SIM Version)
now that you have tried your hands on everything like unlock bootloaders, rooted, changing boot.img's, flashing rom's from other variants, trying all sort of recoveries...
and you find out that you have screwed a lot of things like SMS, OTG bla bla bla..
now at some point you get tired and want get back to PURE STOCK as how you bought your fav device. but your warranty will charge you since you screwed up from top to the bottom.
FINE! lets say thank's but no thank's we want to get things done for free free free
Ok so here what we have to do.
download and copy the zip file to the root of your sd card after pulling out the sd card out from phone, hook it in the card reader and copy from the computer.
the zip file is the sense 6.0 firmware RUU file provided by MIYACHIKI to be flashed from fastboot menu
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538793
download and keep it when the link is up. afterwards please do not tell me to re upload it.
rename it to 0P9CIMG.zip before coping to the SD card.
1) reboot to boot loader
2) flash this boot file provided by jithumon https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4m...it?usp=sharing (fastboot flash recovery filename.img)
3) fastboot oem lock
4) if the mobile restarting keep the vol down button pressed so that you are back in bootloader menu.
5) if your mobile is showing fastboot, take the cursur to the fastboot and press power button will change it to hboot and automatically will start flashing the files. the whole thing will take more than half an hour. system unziping and updating will happen 4 times don't panic.
one's everything is done it will ask you to press the power button to reboot the device. DO NOT SWITCH IT OFF BEFORE THAT.
VIOLA! and the party begings.
the first boot will show you that you have new updates available. download and flash.
all the problems you were facing by flashing roms from other variants are solved.
for example.
while booting it will not show developer version
it won't show tampared at the bootloader screen
your SMS will start working
your OTG will work flawlessly
now once again you can charge in power off mode
SPOILER:
We face a minor problems.
1) the bootloader will show as "relocked" instead of "locked"
I guess you can even give the device for claim if any thing goes wrong with the hardware if the guys over there are not very smart i mean the only thing stoping us is the "relocked" status.

ok sekhar, HTC Sold Desire 816N for middle east some said it's a dual sim and others claim its a 4G. when you actually go to see, it's a 4G single sim the other sim slot is simply closed with a rubber and when you open it it's a tai tai fish! i don't know how you get your hands over dual sim in Dubai. if you see Dubai souq.com you will find 816N
I bought it from DJ Sharf store in Dubai mall and they said there are two models available and he asked me to choose whether 4G or dual SIM 3G version. Then I choose this dual SIM version.
Also the middle east version has got a typical fast download feature in the rom where you can download anything faster using both WiFi and network internet at the same time. This feature was not given in any of the roms available. So I was so looking for that when you say it is a middle east version.

Hey @jacktackle, although your system says as relocked, you can unlock the bootloader again in the same manner as you would do to unlock your bootloader freshly. It is just that you will get a new code to unlock your bootloader. So if anyone using the previous bootloader code to re-unlock your device, it shouldnt work other than that it should work though. So it is not a big spoiler.
The only thing is in my fastboot bootloader screen, everything is showing up as invalid except Hboot and OS version. Not sure how to fix that. But this is only due to flashing a different country's rom on your device. This should not stop you getting any OTA's as long as the status of your bootloader is still relocked.

the only reason i called it a spoiler because if you claim for warranty they might see that it's relocked and nothing else.

Hey, I'm a Y6 II user and I come to know that I can use almost all ROM made for P8Lite. So I downloaded Roms and flashed them. But I see that I have to use a LTE sim card for use Nougat ROM. I used three Roms already. RR,AEX and DOTOS. AEX didn't mentioned that it needs a LTE sim card but still I can't use a 3G sim. Though I have a 4G sim but my main sim card isn't 4G enabled. Hope someone will help me get out of that.

Every p8 lite 2015 custom ROM requires 4G sim card. I don't know why, I'm not a developer. If you want to use 3G sim card, then unfortunately you'll have to stick with EMUI.

Another thing, in most roms dev told to install "EMUI 4.1 B895" before installing the Rom. I guess it is for P8 LIte. So do I also need to flash it on my Y6 II?
