[Q] Cannot remove simlock on Tmobile branded Desire (GSM)

Hi, I’ve been struggling to remove the simlock on an HTC Desire that was locked and branded by Tmobile (UK). The unlock code that I bought was accepted by the phone but there was no second request (I believe that the desire should ask twice for the unlock code). Since then I’ve had no network unless a tmobile sim is inserted. The phone hasn't asked for the code again.
Things I’ve tried:
DEBRANDING: I made a goldcard and flashed a stock froyo ROM as it was suggested that this process would remove the simlock as long as I remoed my sim during it. (http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/blog/20100822-how-debrand-htc-desire-update-froy)
ROUTING
I’ve routed (Unrevoked3) and flashed a custom ROM (Leedroid 2.2f)
S-OFF
I’ve achieved S-off (AlphaRev) (but not Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and SimUnlock)
Everything went to plan, but still no network!
I’m not unique in experiencing this problem with a tmobile branded HTC Android phone.
There seems to be a fix for the Dezire Z/G2/DHD (easy full Root, S-OFF, SuperCID AND SIM UNLOCK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857390 using Gfree
This fix for the Desire HD: One click Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, SimUnlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537)
But nothing for the Desire!
HELP!! I’m exhausted and have run out of ideas.

Any advice would be most gratefully received!

wow, it sounds like you've tried almost everything...!
I had the same problem and called customer services (150) and told them I was going abroad for a few weeks and wanted to use a local simcard and they gave me a code to unlock the sim (free of charge) now I can use any simcard, virgin, orange o2 etc etc....good luck..!

That was my first step, but the code didn't sim unlock despite the phone telling me that it was the right one! Still locked to Tmobile but I guess I know more about Android than I did a week ago.

Same issue
Hi, I've got the same issue with my Desire...
The phone was locked with one operator in the UK, I then unlocked it but since then, I can not access any networks and I'm stuck...
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Both of your threads deal with the same issue. Please post your questions once. Thank you.

no service *need help*

Ok basically after s-off and rooting my phone I installed CM7. Now I only get signal if I constantly reboot my phone. The other problem is that it says no service yet whatsapp and mobile data works but not GSM. Realty wierd. I downloaded what I thought was the latest radio for my handset. Renamed the .zip pg32img.zip and copied it to my SD card. Booted into bootloader and apparently its the wrong image. I need to know how to fix this and if it is the radio then I news help finding the CCorrect one. I'm using a debranded and unlocked HTC desire HD in the uk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know the hardware in the handset is fine by the way.

Maybe if you used the file name PD98IMG.ZIP you might have better luck. Where did you get the name pg32img.zip from?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app

...
Naa me neither. I've corrected the filename but now I get parsing and a loading bar then it goes back to the previous screen. Is that good or bad?

PG32IMG.zip is for the droid incredible 2, are you sure that the radio file is the correct one for your device? mobile data requires GSM to be functional otherwise it wouldn't work.
Have you flashed a RIL?? flashing a RIL on an AOSP rom should affect that. Is the back cover on? Then antenna of the DHD is on the cover where the sim card is. If it is not on, that would explain the lack of signal.
