I got unlock code from Tmobile USA. After I put in a SIM from another network, Dash asked me to enter unlock code. The problem is it only allows me to enter 8 digits, while the code I got have 15 digits... I unlocked another Dash before and didn't get this problem. I'm using Kavana's 6.1 ROM. Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks.
Never mind. I think TMobile gave me a wrong code... My previou phone's unlock code is 8 digits..
Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?
I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.
Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.
First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps
Forgive me, I couldnt find the answer to this question.
If it doesnt, what is the best way to do it!
Thanks!
Are you looking to SIM unlock your phone?

Yes, sorry
There are various sites that will give you the unlock code which is based on your IMEI number, but you shoudl be able to contact the carrier that branded the device and ask them for the unlock code. Then just put the SIM card you want to use in the phone and turn it on, you will get a Network is locked message with a box for you to enter the unlock code you got from the branded carrier.

I havent been able to get an unlock code since the 90's - I use Tmobile and they wouldnt even consider doing it.
If you are unable to obtain the unlock code from T-Mobile then you may want to check this thread:

Hey guys I was hoping you could help me out. I bought an unlock code for my htc m9 t-mobile variant but It will not let me simply just enter the unlock code. I put an at&t sim card and it took me to this screen (see attachment)
I tried disabling the app, booting in safe mode... nothing works. It doesn't prompt me to enter the unlock code I purchased. It forces me to go through the t-mobile app. Any ideas? Much appreciated!
Yep switch off, remove your sim, insert the sim for the new/different network, reboot and follow instructions very simple
Facing the same issue... Even after switching off, and booting back with a different netwrok's SIM, I'm getting the same response. The LG G2 had a manual way of entering the unlock code by going into service settings screen. Does anything like that exist for HTC?
You have to flash an international based rom, enter the code then flash the T-Mobile rom back.
Sent from my HTC One M9
Yup can confirm you have to flash non T-Mobile rom then you can enter unlock code
AT&T has given me an unlock code to release the phone so i can use it on sprint. The instructions say that a prompt should appear when putting in the sim, but nothing has happened. I was wondering if there was a way to force the prompt so I can input the code.
I'm on ICE rom, could that be a reason why I'm not getting the prompt? Can I go to the AT&T store with the unlock code and have them sim unlock it?
thanks.

Are you sure the phone is locked to AT&T? You title says "Unlocked HTC 10....". Your device could already be unlocked. Also, which sim card are you inserting and expecting code prompt to appear?
This is how it is normally done:
Lets say your device is locked to AT&T at the moment. You have to put another carrier's sim card(T-Mobile for example), then the code prompt should appear on the screen asking for the code.
Att never carried this phone...so how could they give you an unlock code? None are simlocked to ATT.
The guy I originally bought the phone from purchased the phone from HTC.com, which he then activated on att. when I bought the phone from him and tried to activate it on sprint, sprint told me the phone was carrier locked to att and I would have to request for an unlock code.
my unlock release went through and they emailed me the code, but when I put in my sprint sim card that sprint sent to me, there is no prompt that appears where I can put the 8 digit unlock code.

yeah I didn't know they did simlock either but I guess when you use a phone on their network it does.
when I tried to activate on sprint they said I had to take care of the att lock first. I have the unlock code but no idea where to use it. do I need to do something through the dialer?
Put Sprint sim in the device boot it up... IF theres a lock on the sim slot, it should ask for an unlock code which is input through the dialer when prompted

If device was bought from htc.com, then it should be unlocked already. I believe the radio frequency in your phone may not be fully compatible with Sprint.
Just check HTC's website and you will see that they offer separate models for Verizon and Sprint. - http://www.htc.com/us/go/buy-htc-10/
For example I have a T-Mobile service, so I purchased an unlocked HTC 10 which is compatible with AT&T as well. If I would have another carrier, such as Verizon or Sprint, then I would choose accordingly.
