unlocked Dash?

newbie here. and yes I did my search and read about this topic. but you know things do change w/ new ROM and blah blah blah.
currently I am a cingular user - MediaNet package. I am very interested on the TMobile Dash. I do know that in order to work on other carrier, the phone needs to be unlock. One thing I didnt know until I read here is that there are two types of unlocking.. SIM unlock and the CID unlock. I also read that CID unlock i would have to pay for and the SIM unlock I can use the Application software (link i found in here - i think its dead now or network busy).
How easy is to unlock the phone? reading here you guys mentioned about flashing the ROM to HTC.
I havent purchased the phone yet.... just need to know my opinion before making a purchase and not have to scratch my head before actually get to use the phone.
thank you.

I think you lost me. can you simple that explain again. thanks.

to re flash your device with different ROM then the one you have at the moment require SIM, CID and Aplication UnLocked Device.App UnLock is free btw.the CID and SIM lock you can do it for 20GBP or for free if you know the guy who does it for 20GBP
then you need to get hold of the ROM you want to flash and flash it.
i had US t-mobile dash and flashed it with HTC s620 ROM @

Thank you everyone... i am now a DASH owner... w/ Cingular services. heheh!

Just curious if the SIM is unlocked before flashing the ROM, will it still be unlocked after flashing the ROM?

Can Someone create a program?
I'm not sure how the unlock codes are generated or if they are just random, but my question is If someone who is good at algorithms looks at some of the IMEI and the associated unlock codes could there be a program written that basically generates Unlock codes by using that algorithm?

Samsung i780 SIM CID unlock?

Hello,
Is there any software around to SIM and CID unlock this amazing phone?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira!!

Hi Joao
I'm expecting my i780 to arrive end of this week and am also looking for a SIM unlock- unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is one around - even finding a website where you pay to unlock is difficult!
However, someone on Modaco unlocked his Orange i780 using a pay website:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/264705/I780-Locked-GPS/page/40/
Alternatively, perhaps flashing the ROM will work? Must admit that I'm not going to try this method yet as posted on the thread....
How much is your network charging for the unlock?

Hello,
Thank for you response.
Any news on unlocking this device? have you tried flashing a new rom? did it work? to be honest i am very scared of flashing a new rom on a locked device, i dont want to brick it.
My network charges me 130euros for unlocking the device. Not too much since i paid very little for it but still ...
Thanks.
Joao Oliveira.

Hi - yes in the end I paid £19 to get it sim unlocked on the day that I got the phone as at the time there was only a test pda rom I think.
Anyway, my sim worked fine once I unlocked the phone but I couldn't get the GPS to work. I think the italian splitted radio rom was available after that so I tried flashing that - it didn't help the GPS, and in the end I had to flash the pda as well (the MSHC3 rom).
Now everything is working thanks to the guys here.
EUR130 is a lot of money to pay to get your phone unlocked....

Some questions - SIM unlock

Hello Guys,
This question may be a little noob for everyone here but I really need to understand couple(or 3) of things here:
1. What basically is a SIM lock? is it software lock or some kind of hardware(registers) lock ?
2. If I get a new (brand new) phone from Rogers canada .. say HTC S621 and I flash it with one of the custom ROMs like NRG's or Kavanas... will it also remove my SIM lock...?
Actually the reason I am asking these questions is ....
I already have a HTC S621 which I SIM unlocked from some site for 30 some dollars about a year back. I was with Rogers rom at that time.
Now I upgraded to NRG remade rom .. so is my phone still SIM unlocked.... ?
if somebody could answer these questions.. I would really appreciate...

If you paid $30 for it, it is most likely a Sim unlock, which allows you to use others sim cards. CID unlock is a free app that is floating around here somewhere, and it is just a software unlock that allows you to put others Roms on your phone. For example, mine is a tmobile dash that is still sim locked to tmobile, but I have ahd Rogers, HTC, and multiple kitchen roms on it without any problems. Sim unlock would allow me to use an AT&T or other type of carriers sim card in it as well, but I dont need that.
Your phone will still be Sim unlocked if it has been unlocked in the past.
Does this answer your questions?

My Mistake
Hey god speed...
pardon my mistake .. i just made a fool out of myself....
Please replace CID with sim lock... I wrote the question keeping in mind Sim lock but I dont know y on the earth I kept on writing CID...
Sorry for wrong question... I will edit that...
My basic question is
1. Does flashing a ROM on a SIM Locked phone breaks the SIM LOCK? and
2. If My phone is with Rogers , I got it Sim Unlocked by paying 30 bucks.. and then reflashed to NRG Rom.. is it still locked or unlocked..
Thanks again....

flashing a new rom does not break the sim lock (or unlock in your case). Your good to go

Thanks go speed.....
I appreciate

no problem, just trying to give back where I can. Enjoy 6.1, its a whole new world!

Unlocking the S620

Hello,
Is there any way to input an unlock code without changing the SIM card?
I have an S620 and I've purchased the unlock code from T-mobile I've not yet got my new Vodafone SIM card but I want to unlock it so its ready when my SIM arrives.
Is there any sequence that I can put in to unlock it?
I know that on the Nokia you can the # and * key thing then input the unlock code and you don't need to change the SIM to do this.
If anyone knows please contact me ASAP
Thank you

You must know someone who has a different carrier just use there sim

Unlock sequence
I don't know anyone with on a different network.
Its the security software thats messing things up for me

Unlocking S620
I have a HTC S620 that is locked to T-mobile network.
I have 3rd party security software on the phone so when I insert my Vodafone SIM an switch it on the screens flicks between the security software and the unlock code text box.
Is there any way to unlock the device with the T-mobile SIM still in the phone?
I have recently unlocked a Nokia device by inputting the +pw etc and the unlock code.
Is there a sequence I can follow like this for my S620?
Thank you

Hope this helps,

Unlocking S620 text box
I've had a look at that thread but it seems to be some guy that can give you the unlock code.
I actually need to bring the text box up without putting in a new SIM.
I've already got the code I need to put in.
There must be some way of making the text box appear without putting in a new SIM. It must be part of the firmware and should have some way of making the program run.
I've also contacted HTC tech support to see if they can help. But if anyone knows how to do this please let me know asap.
If HTC come back with an answer I shall post it on here.
Thank you

Help: Several questions about unlock

Hi every one, my phone model is HTC Hermes 8525 locked to Att. Now it is in original box with Windows Mobile 5. I want to unlock it first. I have read articles on this BBS and aware that if I want to do future Rom flashing things I might need both SIM and CID unlocked. At same time I found several unlock code provider on Ebay.com. Now the questions come up.
1) Is Unlock code got via Ebay only for SIM unlock, or it is for both?
2) Is there any risk for such kind of unlock code for my phone? What's the worst outcome for using unlocker software downloaded here?
3) If I don't unlock my CID, can I still upgrade my phone with WM6? What specific ROM of WM6 shall I use?
4) Any other suggestion is welcomed, Ad's also.
Thanks a head

Hi and welcome to xda-developers forum!
1) I think this "unlock code" will provide you an ability to disable/re-enable SIM Lock/Operator Lock, not CID Lock (as it's platform specific and required to flash unofficial ROMs)
2) The worst is device will become brick. But it could occur only if you download and flash wrong ROM.
3) No, if it's unofficial. If HTC provided a WM6 update to Hermes (I don't remember), it could be flashed.
Good luck
