I tried to unlock my Orange branded Touch Pro 2 using the sim unlocker from http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/ but it didn't work with my phone.
Have someone else managed to unlock their Orange TP2 and what procedure did you follow?
I want to use the phone with my Swedish carrier Telia.
Thanks!

Yes that's the unlocker I used and it didn't work. Any other suggestions?

There's a thread for questions/answers about the unlocker you're using already created. Your best bet is to post your problem in that thread. When you do you'll want to include a whole lot more data than "it didn't work" as well. Post what steps you took, what errors you received, etc.
Ah yes. I posted there already but received no answer so I figured it was better to create a new thread.
I'll take your advice however and stick with that thread.
Thanks.
Olipro is owner of the site where you were unlocking your phone, send him pm or something.

I spent a whole day yesterday learning to unlock my new Cingular 8525. Then I tried it using HTC Hermes SIM Unlock v2a, and I followed closely discussion threat between crazyut and pof (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-286248.html), but I failed!
Steps as follows: I directly run RUU until ERROR 114 appeared. Then tried to copy HERM_Unlock_v2.exe to the phone, but found that I need to install the software to enable transfer of file from computer to the phone, so I install it. Unfortunately, the installation failed. In Device Manager there is item Windows CE USB Devices, with sub-item: HTC USB Sync(!). There is message: This device cannot start (Code 10). Then I tried uninstall and reinstall, but did not work.
So I use another computer. It can be installed, and connect the phone to this computer, and transfer the file. But I could not run it (I double click it; and also tried to run from: Start, Run, but no response).
Question: (i) Can the phone still be unlock (since the process was interrupted), (ii) Can I continue the process using another computer?, (ii) how can I transfer the file to the phone that can be executed, so I can complete the process.
Appreciate your help.
what bootloader do you have??? one of the first lines in the hermes unlocking thread is this:
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
How to enter bootloader can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
there is no need to post the same question in different threads. I have deleted your other post in regards to this matter. Next time make a post in the device specific thread
Many thanks finally a response to my posting (noted also your note regarding second posting - thanks). My bootloader is 1.06.
My understanding is that I can downgrade the bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program, is this correct?
During the process, there is already a message "ERROR 114" as mentioned in Install instruction.
as an FYI you would have gotten a faster response in the hermes upgrading board.. but here is a post you need to read about downgrading your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284401
when you follow those instructions make sure you follow #3 as stated.. if its not done as stated you will not accomplish this correctly...
Thank you, I will check and read the info from the link you mention. I.ll get back to you later. Thanks
I have googled the DownGrade_SPL.rar for more than a couple of hours, but could not get free file. All website that I found, we should pay, and some of them $35 - is this really the case? Is there website that can provide free file? Thanks
you dont need the downgrade....
first flash your phone cingular 1.6 bootloader phone with this..it will change your cingular phone to bootloader 1.4..both files are from cingular roms which makes you abe to downgrade your phone from cingular 1.6 to the 1.4 bootloader..understand??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277664
Then follow instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282073
after that you're phone should be unlocked and supercid...
it works.. i have done it to my cingular phone.. just read read and read some more.. everything you need to know is adressed on this website....

thanks for pointing that out.. i COMPLETELY forgot about that... my head was definitely not in the game last night... Thanks
Many thanks to Shogunmark and Honestable for the advise. I have open the link and it seems that I need to study that first before proceed with thyis great work (e.g. I need to understand how to flash the cingular 1.6 bootloader with ... what file? -apologies for not understand some jargons). Let me also go through the information in the links. And I will get back to you, if I need further clarifications.
Many thanks
Re: Unlocking the 8525
Why not just call Cingu;lar and ask for the unlock code. If your a customer for more than three months, they have to give it to you!

cause this does more than unlock sim on the phone, this also unlocks the cid on the phone as well...
Hi! I made it!
I learn much from the process. I found the forum has been an exellent site for consultation and discussions. Thanks much to Shogunmark.
All the best for the New Year!

Thats what this whole community is here for! Enjoy your device
I purchased this week a t mobile version of HTC artemis. as far as i know t mobile locks their phone, therefore i had searched XDA-DEV.. to find a free unlocking method apparently with no results. the only thing i found is method using a tool called SimLockTool_Artemis_Excalibur. As i understand many people looked and asked for that tool and because i found it somehow i just copy and paste link for those who still looking for it. Because i haven't got the device yet please report in any case of testing it.
Enjoy!

need more?
i know that i haven't said enough for the tool. heres a thread that there is a discussion about the procedure you need to take.

This tool doesn't work. For that Info you just have to read the last Page of the toppic you linked...
Greets!
...<>...
This tool had been released by htc and its purpose is to lock your device by changing the IMEI but it also gives you the UNLOCK code for the specific IMEI.
I haven't test the tool yet cause i did not receive my device.
There is one thing that they haven't test yet, it says that you need to use the customized htc card which no one had to that.

...and that's why it doesnt work (for us). we know what the tool is doing. but no one managed to run it from sdcard so far.
sd card
does anyone have any idea where to get that card?. i mean do you get it with htc p3300(not xda orbit mda compact 3 or any other versions)?

nope, i tried with unbranded devices from england and switzerland with the same results as with my orange branded device. the program isnt doing anything. maybe their hardware checks for some code file or something that has to be on the card. or even a special type of hardware... i gave up for now
Can you please tell me which files you copy to your sd card?
Copy only the Artediag and the diagdata. DoNOT copy the cstdata into the card and also remove it from the directory which the .exe file is.
just a thought that i made it may works.
Sorry did not receive my device yet...
it doesnt work. btw, if you read the manual, it says "Insert the HTC customized key card into SD card reader".
further down it says "After this process, you will find a cstdata.dat file into the key card".
i dont think that a normal SD card will work. i can only guess that they delivered those special "key" cards to the providers.
i found some information about the sd card bootloader of htc wallaby of on the net i like to share it with you and see if you could get something ou of it.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/wallaby-bootloader.html
have a look around the links and there some toolls that may be usefull.
The Sim Unlocktool for the Artemis is only to LOCK the device.. not to UNLOCK..
Thats SOMEHOW..... TRUE.... but it provides a known unlock code...

why not YOU try to get something out of it? how many times do we have to tell you, it doesn't work. many in the artemis forum have already tried this tool and nobody got it to work. we don't need info about sd card bootloader of htc wallaby coz we also have our own info about sd card bootloader of htc artemis in the wiki page of this forum.
read my first post and you will see why i do not try the information i found.
did i got you upset with my post? if yes sorry m8 but the problem is not on me

yes, i've read your first post... and my answer is, you should wait for your device so you could try this tool for yourself, since you don't seem to believe those who've said it doesn't work.
and, it's quite funny that you asked me to read your first post, when you're the one who's not really been reading posts in this forum. coz if you've been reading posts yourself, you'll find that this tool has been discusses MANY times in not just one, but several threads as well. and in all of these threads, it's been said that NOBODY got this tool to work. and starting another thread doesn't change that.
@redski Maybe all this you saying is due to the fact that i haven't got my device yet and not test the tool my self. I really need to hope that there is a method to unlock artemis, i do not care about the money 30 dollars in our days is not enough to buy cigarettes , i just like to it my self. About what you said that i do not read the post in this forum, thats not true, see how many post i have and i am a member almost a year now. I never post a thread to resolve an issue that i have without research.
we would all be happy if you find a way to make this work (once you get your device). i personally wont further try it until i see really new facts. there are highly competent people in this forum who tried this with no success. who would i be if i'd think i can make it run

yes, we know you already said that. but when i said NOBODY i meant those from this forum. unless you know somebody from this forum who got it to work?
and that's another problem we all have... the original htc card, which none of us have. that's why we can't get it to work.

Hello, i have a problem.
i flashed my xda cosmo from wm5 to rogers wm6, no problem.
but now i want to flash from rogers to german htc wm6. i did all the steps needed. but there is no way for me to do this. is there anyone who did it?
please help.
Um, the same way?
Use the temporary CID unlocker posted as a sticky in the forum and flash back the same way you did the original Rogers ROM.
I can tell you, though, as someone who moved from T-Mo to HTC to Rogers that the Rogers ROM is the best and fastest in my experience. The ONLY thing that I liked about the HTC ROM was the fact that I could tell when I got a text message versus an e-mail because the icon showing at the top of the screen had a little phone in it. I am sure there is a reg hack for it, though, so I will figure it out sooner or later.
i did it like this: 1. i run sda unlock and reboot after take off the sd card
2. i run uspl-cid bypass, but i don`t get the white screen!!
also i can`t flash the german htc rom.
have anyone another idea?
does the sda unlocker work with rogers? I didn't think it did... I thought there was another unlock you had to use.

You have to install the rogers SP_Allow_Certificates. It's on the forum in a few threads, I found it in this one:

ok, i will test it, thanks
Here i am back. Yes, this was the right tip. It worked, i`m happy. Thanks a lot for your help.
yay! glad to hear it.

Hi
Try this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
or this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Try this
If you're a noob like myself,
I suggest you used code unlocker because people say it's safe and using flash or other softwares have chances of bricking your phone. Especially when not skilled like you and myself, I wouldn't try unlocking it myself. Also, when you flash it, they say that your phone gets reset, therefore you will lose some data in your phone. If you like to though, I guess you can. Try this link, I just failed to find the 'Hard spl' and I believe this file is used to flash your phone although I'm assuming you don't really know what I'm talking about.
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-614384.html
If you want to use the code, do this:
Through ebay/kijiji or etc, you can find people where they sell codes and instructions.
I am also considering to unlock my phone so I have done some research and I found this website.
http://www.buyinnet.com/index.asp
or you could try this one too.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/unlock-code-ROGE...14&_trkparms=72:1215|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
I'm pretty sure you can find many other ones tho.
I heard from many people that unlocking with the code is very safe so I suggest you do it this way.
I hope this helped!
I found a program to unlock mine, just run it and it pop'd up saying unlocked, using orange branded phone now unlocked, think I just searched unlocking diamond on google and one of the sites had a program to do it, can't say it hasn't damanged it but since running it can now use my simcard in it
don't know the name of it, spent a good while looking forsomething to do it mind, don't think i still have it either (forgot to backup everything before trying out windows 7!)
Instead of using risky software go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3334617&postcount=488
And follow instructions for free unlocking - this will NOT security unlock your phone, only SIM.
And search the net. Solution is there. I don't want to post other links, because they are "politically incorrect".
Good luck.
P.S. EXTREMELY important. If you have GSM phone NEVER EVER use the unlocker from ppcgeeks - it's for CDMA ONLY and will properly brick your phone (requiring change of the mainboard).
