It is not a virus.
Kaspersky, sometimes AVG detect it as a trojon or virus because the program is packed to prevent it from being cracked.

Hey could you explain to me how to do this? What it is? ect. i am a bit of a noob. lol
As i had the same issues as the guy above.
orange codes
with orange phones you may have to enter twice.
so once you have entered and it will ask you again .
enter the code again and it will work
Once i enter the code it says "Network Unlock Successful" but when i get to the main screen i have no signal, and if i reboot the phone it asks for the unlock code again, help would be appreciated.

Yeah same here,

Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Same here. Tried everything. Rooted it, flashed with custom firmware MoDaCo. Bought code from HTCCode.com (ripoff). And now am waiting for the isim 2008 from DealExtreme ...
Don't be fooled by HTCCode, like I was. They profess to be able to unlock any phone to any operator. They hadn't bargained for the HTC Tattoo on Orange and probably some other flavours.....
My understanding, and feel free to correct if I'm wrong, is that there's a radio ROM that has been tied down by Orange and at last check they haven't been able to flash it (i.e. get rid and replace by a less tied down one). Within that ROM there's a CID check which doesn't want to respond to any code you throw at it.
My advice is pick up a vanilla Tattoo (play.com do them now for £180), or you could try an iSmartSim (it didn't work for me, but there have been reports of some success)

AGREED!
Here is MY experience with HTCCODE (also known as member "ferraripassion"), and his pathetic attempts to unlock an HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657751
I am amazed the admins allow him to continue to prey on members here!
HTCCODE finally DID come across for me. It took some "work"... He claims he sent the code last night.. not quite the "2 minutes" that were brandished, but I did receive it, nonetheless, So I wasn't "ripped off."
Just setting the record clear (for ANYONE who actually cares).
Hi i'm buy code from htcsimunlock . com and key doesn't work, after 24h they didn't refund money. Anyone who has experience with them?
Don't get in trouble!
Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.
Just one advice. The process erase the data, so remember to do a NAND BackUp before.
I did it before changing from Vodafone to Simyo.
Now i have got a free Tattoo and also changed the ROM.
Just pm me if you need a code

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....
I unsimlock my device i780 orange Fr with this website : http://www.unlock-samsung.net for 12,90 €

1. Insert an unauthorized sim card
2. Enter the pin code
3. you should have a notification "Network Locked"
4. press Ok or Hide
5. a lock must appear at the top of the screen
6. click on the lock
7. the keyboard pops up, enter the 8-digit unlock code
Have fun

Indeed - Gah! t-mobile seem to ruin any decent rom with their tat that is supposed to be helpful but really just bloats the rom and boot time.
I hear there are a few subscription services you can use to unlock but will need to wait a few weeks til the codes are posted (my phone is almost brand new).
Does anyone have a software unlock yet for any other droid phone? (not sure if things work the same a Windeaux phones with hard SPLs etc... ?
Does it start? Or blocks t-mobile the startup with the wrong simcard?
I have a wildfire from vodafone germany and use it with a o2- card.
The only issue I had was the network connection. Simply typed in the right apn an now it works fine.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
is there any way to unlock it?
because it tried one of those unlock sites,but they couldn't. at least they refunded my money.
Wouldnt one of those gold cards work with the wildfire?
I tried a few places before I found someone that could unlock my WF. It was on 3 and, apparently, the codes have changed from May this year so I could not get a code from one of the cheaper (£15) places.
I ended up paying £23.50 from mobileunlocked.co.uk, but got the code within a couple of minutes
Doesn't rooting the phone and flashing a new rom like WildPuzzle solve the problem or the protecion is stored in another location?
It will proberly solve the problems.
i could make an radio unlock zip for ppl to flash then phone is rooted. will add one to wildpuzzlerom realy soon.
*EDIT*
Just updated WildPuzzleROM with an radio from WWE. maybe this will unlock some phones!

What's the point of having a smartphone if you can not use it
I want to buy one from Telstra Australia as they are heaps cheaper but I need to be able to unlock it.
Would love software to unlock, I wish I could help in some way.
hi, i've a wildfire in SFR but i'm in Bouygues Télécom so i can unlock this with a website and code for 28€ and now i can use with every operator ^^
So i can take if you need the website
Unlocked Wildfire
Hy
I'm just one of many Wildfire owners bought from Vodafone Romania, who CANNOT unlock their phones nowhere because Vodafone changed the original factory codes with new ones.!
They charge us with 50 euro/phone just to push the unlocking code! Outrageous!
So if someone gifted with the knowledge can find a way-software or magic-- to unlock it, than you in advance!
best regards
Chris
Hi,
No news to unlock a Bouygues widfire ?
Thanks.
Take it to your carrier. They should be able to unlock it (or a phone unlock shop)

wildfire unlock - london (streatham)
as far as I know tilll now, there is no free software to unlock it.
contact your operator, they may be able to do it for free or a small free.
or you can unlock by code. it costs about £15-£20 on ebay it's the easiest way to get it done.
or you can bring it to local phone shop (like myself) where we can unlock it cheaper + can do the S-Off or debrand stuffs too
Where can I find/buy unlock codes?
Hi I would like to get a little help to unlock my
phone.
I tried to get an unlock code but it did not work.
I have now a custom rom and my phone is rooted.
I read that for UK people the rom change helped to
get the code accepted.
Should I try more roms or radio update?
Should I put somehow an unbranded ROM?
I think trying to buy more codes are useless
but maybe some compony has the right one...
My IMEI starts with 3578410
I sow on some unlock pages that for these
phone I have to pay more due to being in the newest database.
(htcgate)
I got from htccode the info that in this kind
of situations the provider lock back the phone.
They promise a cable solution from december...
I guess they can do it because there is something
in their rom, that's why I wanted to replace it...
I had no succes so far.
Thanks

As far as I know, when trying to sim-unlock a device with a network provided sim-unlock code it shoudn't matter that I have a custom rom (Oxygen RC4). However, this is what happens:
I insert my non-orange sim card and boot up, when android boots up it firstly asks for my pin, I enter it, then it asks for a sim-unlock code and I enter that as well and then get a 'Successful' message. However, in the status bar I get a sim card icon with an exclamation mark inside it and have no signal. Also when I reboot the phone it once again asks for a sim-unlock code.
I've already contacted orange and they've said they'll contact me (which they havent) and i'm sure the conversation will end when I tell them that i've rooted the phone and have a custom rom installed, as my warranty is probably void now. Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm hoping to avoid installing an official ruu to get around this as this will mean ill have to s-off and change partition tables again and I can't be arsed!
from what i know the lock signature in phone is written in eeprom. i don't know if this phones have an eeprom. so i am thinking that you will need an RUU cause when you play with permanent memory by s-offing and changing partitions it can't be permanently recorded.
again this can be totally BS cause i only know this from proprietary phones.

Ok aderfe, just let us know how it rolled.

I'll be interested to see what happens as im in the exact same situation. Orange never got back to me either. I got the unlock code as I'd read it was required for flashing a new radio however its never been a prob. It would be nice to unlock the phone though especially after I paid £20 for the code!

To tell you the truth im not expecting much from the orange team. From past experience technical call-backs of this nature usually involve a technically-incompetent employee following tree-diagrams to answer your query and in most cases not being able to. If I dont get a solution from them ill try flashing an original RUU and unlocking and let you guys know what happens
Orange never phoned me so I phoned them. Their technical team (which apparently does not deal with customers directly) left a note on my account asking me to provide my orange rom version so I told them that I have flashed a custom rom and request a link to an official orange ruu, will be interesting to see what they have to say! will keep you posted on what happens
Hello,
I bought a second hand HOX last week. It was sold to me as unlocked from operator SFR (Vodaphone France, or CID VODAP203).
I bought an unlocking code from an internet shop, tried it, didn't work... I went into a shop specialized in unlocking phones they could not make it provider free...
So I went on to this forum. Plenty of nice things, and as I already rooted an Android tablet from TOSHIBA (FOLIO100), I tried a few things.
It appears that my phone is rooted. When I boot in bootloader it says "UNLOCKED", and it is also S-OFF!!! I am able to change the CID as much as I want, and I have set it to "11111111". As such I was told on a french forum that any SIM Card from any provider should work, but it doesn't...
I have been able to install Jelly Bean from one of the ROM developpers, thinking (and this is where I am a noob) that I will clear the part of the system that tells it is locked to one provider... Of course it didn't do anything more, or different than telling me it doesn't work on any provider.
I went back to stock from Vodaphone France, and came to you in order to get some instructions or link to have on working on another network than the vodaphone one...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alain
First off, it's great you have an S-OFF handset. You are lucky about that.:good:
On the other hand, unlocking bootloader doesn't have anything to do with SIM locks. So, whatever you did (as you experienced it yourself) doesn't work.
I suggest you search over here, because I know for sure there is a way to unlock SIM lock on HOX. I didn't have to do it, as mine was already unlocked (or SIM free, I can't tell now).
Don't worry, you'll find the way, just be patient.
A bientot!
Yeah everyone told me it was great to have it S-OFF, although I don't know what it can do for me... I guess this would be great for developpers ?
I hope I won't have to go through several unlock code providers...
S-OFF is giving you advantage in being able to flash any ROM, any RUU, any HBOOT, any radio... Good not only for developers.
Back to topic - I suggest you visit some mobile phone service, and pay ONLY after they finish the work. I guess there are whole lot of frauds online,, that would take you money for the "unlock code", and not care if it doesn't work.
I repeat, be patient, and keep searching. Here's what I found (you can do the same search yourself):

it cost me a whole £2.79 to get mine unlocked.
I bought the code from ebay inserted an un supported sim and entered the code when asked. That's the main reason actually why I've stuck with HTC they are so easy to un lock

Mate, nowadays most phones are unlocked through pw.... code. Usually, you get it for specific handset (IMEI and operator), and just type it in as you did.
BTW, Samsung Galaxy SIII is even easier to unlock - by an apk from Google Play Store.
Hello,
I went through one of Unlock Code providers that [email protected]|-|oR provided me through his links...
I had the exact same unlock code as the one I got in France... that doesn't work. But the guys were really professional, in reimbursing my money as they could not unlock my phone.
The strangest thing is that they asked me if the phone is rooted, and said that this is why I cannot SIM Unlock, because it is rooted... I reverted by to stock, and re-locked the phone but the result is still the same, it stays stuck to SFR...
I hope a solution will come out in the form of an application such as the one for Galaxy III, it looks so easy to do.
Have a good evening,
Alain
Hi my phone was branded by orange and obviously had a simlock what did with my hox and many others before is:root the phone ,get recovery,then flash custom rom and all that branded garbage with simlock is gone.I've done it before with galaxy S,S2,now with my hox. Don't never ever buy any codes online.

Hello,
I already did that, (root, flash customer ROM), but simlock is still here... only thing I didn't change is recovery, but it is 5.8.xxx (aka I think it is the latest).
Can you guide me rapidly in return ?

SIM unlock is totally separate from rooting.
