Unlock Telus HTC TP2

Hi !
I will be travelling to europe and i would like to unlock my HTC Touch pro 2 to be able to use it with the local provider (the price of using the Telus simcard is enormous !!!)
so....
I know that such unlocking software exists, and i allready used one of the websites (i can't remember the name) where you give your IMEI and someone reply to you with the appropriate unlock code for your particular device
I don't know if it is feasible with the htc touch pro 2 ????
Could somebody help me
Thanks in advance !

Unlocked TP2
I have unlocked mine successfully and if you search PPCGeeks there are several threads there discussing it. I tested mine with a friends SIM from Rogers and it worked like a charm. I bought my unlock code from glowbearunlocks4u on eBay for $13.00 US, so check there.

Here is my question. Can you still use your TELUS number once you unlock the phone.
I tried to put the telus sim into a unlocked phone and it didnt work so (Bummer)... I want to use the GSM but still want the CDMA... very important in my situation...
let me know thanks.

[CDMA] Verizon HTC Desire

Looking for info to get a US Cellular Desire working on the Verizon Network
so far:
Rooted S-off
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/52105.rar Verizon PRL's updated using ##775#
Unlock code for edit access to EPST ##778#
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-540455.html Copied settings from this page to use in EPST
Right now I've got the phone on the Verizon Network (sorta the lock screen says "preferred system") but I still can't get *228 to "activate" (option 1) or "update roaming" (option 2) both options ask me to call VZW support from a landline
up next:
I have yet to have Verizon update the phone with this phone's ESN
interested in trying these RUU's anyone have any feedback on where they came from or which is best? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-540455.html but concerned with how the RUU_DesireC_2.36 may conflict with my phone
Ideas? I've spent all day today searching and working on this and have yet to find one decent post with a clear outline on how to move this phone to verizon.

U have to modify the phone's esn and meid number. Research HTC evo on boost. There is a guide out there.

Do NOT use DesireC RUU! The desirec is the board name for the HTC Eris. The boardname for the Desire model phone is bravoc.
Confusing, yes.

yay
All seems well... The ESN and MEID are now correct but I'm still not getting into the verizon network...
The PRL is up to date and I was able to *228 option 1 on verizon but now nothing seems to work.
Also nothing shows in my "phone identity" information except for the "model number" which still reflects it being a USCC device... is this possible to change and why doesn't my meid phone number or imsi show? All say unknown or not available though they read fine in the ##778# EPST menus

...Any updates?
How functional is the phone so far with your attempts?
Can you post some DIY steps you took to do some of the programming?
I Just got an USCC HTC Desire from a friend of mine and I have Verizon service. I was looking into a way to start using the phone on Verizon's network. I'm still new to the whole programming aspect of Android; but I'm a fast learner!
I have hte Desire rooted using the unrEVOked 3 method so far.

Any updates at all? Getting an Alltel HTC Desire for my wife and would really like to know that I can get it onto Verizon Wireless without issue.
Please let me us know if this DID or DID NOT work!
Thanks!

Any update to this? I'd like to get a US Cellular CDMA Desire for use on Verizon ... but not if it won't work ...

bringing back a dead thread to life, but i would also like to know if anyone was succesful as i am considering purchasing a desire. thanks!

I too, would like to know if this can be done. I'd like to give my Desire as a present to a close friend on VZW. Sorry for the resurrection.

Hahaha, if we're all trying to keep this thing on life support, I might as well throw in. I, too, would like to know if it's possible to use a USC phone on Verizon (and how).
Carry on.

I saw a guy on the CM boards claim he successfully did it, claiming he'd release a video, but no such luck. I bumped it there too, although I'm likely just going to sell mine.

I believe you can send your device to Verizon and they'll program & activate it for a fee..
"Any Apps, Any Device" is the name of the program.

[Q] Making European HTC Desire HD work with AT&T GoPhone

Hi all,
I am not sure what subforum to post it so forgive me if I've chosen wrong...
I have an unlocked HTC Desire HD bought in Europe (Poland in particular). I am currently in US for some time and to my surprise it does not work with AT&T GoPhone SimCard I hoped to use it with. The phone says "no simcard"...
Does anybody here knows what's the reason? Is there a way to correct it (load a different ROM onto the device?)? Or - if it's impossible to fix with AT&T - what are my options for finding a prepaid (I won't be here for a year to justify signing on for a full year contract) card that will work with this phone and have some decent data plan?

Poland uses GSM network and usually in US they use CDMA so it is not possible to use your DHD in US if the carrier uses other network than GSM because the 2 radios are completely different. Not sure if this can be changed but doubt it.

I don't think this is a case.... This phone is AFAIK the same phone in technical terms as HTC Inspire being sold in US. This is a quad-band and is working in US with Polish sim-card in roaming mode (with horrendous prices of course). So this is something with a sim-card and/or radio-software compatibility. I would push for the first one as the phone is saying "no sim-card" signalling problems with recognizing it.

Hey
i think your problem lies in the frequencies used by european phones, arent the same as in us... on my old HD2 you could change the freq, but afaik its not possible with android phones... check this chart http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
hope u solve the prob.

Once again - I am afraid it's not that simple...
Once again - I am afraid it's not that simple... I believe the incompatibility is somewhere at the either sim card (being rigged in some special way by ATT) or radio software. The HTC Desire HD is a quad-band phone accodring to it's specs (I've checked at the GSMArena . COM). I've seen reports on the internet that people managed to run GoPhone simcards on unlocked HTC android-based phones. I just kind find any information about what might be wrong (incompatible) with my handset
Thank you for your replies anyway - hope someone will have other ideas what to do, otherwise I am stuck with $20 "phone" I got with my gophone card which is making me upset while having a proper phone not working...

RESOLVED!
I managed to google out the information that ATT is somehow locking the GoPhone simcard to the phone it was bundled with. I had to call Customer Support to get it unlocked which they did. Now my Desire HD is properly working with data plan accessible
Thanks for anybody who was trying to help me with this.
Regards!

[Q] help with my htc desire

I bought an htc desire off of ebay it turns out it was not unlocked like they said and in fact was a us cellular phone which I cant even get in my area so my question is can someone tell me if and how I can unlock it or what other carrier I could use it on it is also a cdma phone thank you

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can use CDMA in Europe..
Maybe things have changed since I last checked. I wanted to buy a DoCoMo phone and had this problem.
Good luck!
