I mailed to T-mobile for unlock my MDA PRO the mailed me a link to visit:
http://www.t-mobile.de/simlock/1,9645,13846-_,00.html
What do you think? :?:
Any chance of you translating it to english?
Nothing to see here
It says essentially: Insert a foreign SIM-card, enter the 8-digit unlock code (which you have to buy from us), soft-reset, and you're ready. However, you get the lock only after 24 months if you got the phone together with a T-Mobile contract.
I phoned T-Mobile today (In the UK) and was told that once I've had the phone 1 month, if I call them, for a small fee (£15) they will issue me the unlock code!
same for me as well. T-Mobile uk will unlock the phone after one month. Although funnily enough they unlocked my MDA III straight away.
I did ask why u had to wait a month, and they said it was just company policy :roll:
i received the code but its a 10 digit code can any one help t-mobile sent me to contract htc and htc said go to t-mobile
unlock?
Anyone found a way to unlock the mda pro already? all i hear is that people are working on it LOL
imei-check.com is also working on it.. but 2 weeks later still no sound.

MDA Pro unlocking
Hi everybody! I received my MDA Pro from Germany today, and it's sim-locked to th German T-mobile. I thought it would work with my local T-mob card, but it doesn't! :evil:
So I need to unlock it somehow. T-mob Ger does it for 100 EUR, which is a bit hefty, but seemded like the only choice so far. I asked the guy I bough the device from to send me the purchase receipt.
Since I'll probably soon void my warranty anyway (i.e. do the rom upgrade), I would prefer any less expensive method. Also, I don't really speak German, so getting the unlcok code from the German T-mob by phone would be a challenge anyway.
Now I read here that T-mob UK is more friendly i terms of unlocking. Do you think they would do my device, or they only do local machines? Do they check the IMEI?
Any help would be appreciated on this. Thanks!
ewhh
i did try the UK tmobile office. But you HAVE to have a tmobile contract in the UK.
So i found a mate in london who had that, he called and tmobile uk said it would take 28 days, also i am sure after they take off the 15 pounds it costs they will say sorry the imei is not from a phone you bought yourself with your tmobile contract.
Holland wont do it because they check imei too.. if it is not a dutch imei code they wont do it.
I am waiting desperately for a solution and would even pay 50 pounds if someone would unlock my tmobile mda pro.
I just hope imei-check comes with a solution before xmass LOL

The thing is, I didn't buy it in a shop, but from a guy in Germany. When he sends me the receipt (as he had promised to), I will find out how it was purchased. Chances are, of course, that it was a prolongation of a contract or something like that... :roll:
If not, I will certainly try to manage the unlocking with T-mob Ger, but without speaking German, this might be difficult.
@dvl:
Thanks for the info, looks like Britain is a dead end too. Rats. Now my only hope is imei-check. I unlocked an MDA III for a guy there once. It was quite simple and quick even with all the id verification business. I guess I wouldn't have to go through with that again. :lol:
Everyone pls keep us posted on possible unlocking methods!

I don't speak german either -... you have to try until you get an english speaker operator (I got it on second attempt). I hope that yours was bought without a contract.
Good luck.
imei-check does it
Update: I saw today that imei-check now offers unlocking for the Universal. However, it's only available as a mail-in sevice, and it's bloody expensive: 50 GBP in the UK, a lot more anywhere else (due to shipping). All this, plus you have to get it to them too... :roll:
This is not really any help for ppl outside the UK, and I read here that you can get an unlocking code there for 15 GBP from the provider, so this is not such great news.
Still, I wanted to let you know. :idea:
I will stick to the 99 EUR official unlocking from T-mob, especially since the guy who sold me the device offered to pay half of it and to get the code from T-mob. Yay!
How to get the unlock code from T-mobile Germany
Any BUSINESS Customer with a GSM Contract of T-Mobile Germany gets the unlock code for any MDA PRO within a couple of hour via e-mail for free.
If you can find a helpful guy who is (in this forum?!?!), he may help you out by asking T-Mobile Germany for the unlock code with your IMEI number.
Good luck

I don't know any business customers at the German T-mob, so I got my code - yesterday - through the guy who originally bought the device (with a contract). He also paid half the unlocking cost!

Hi,
just a questions....after the unlocking via the unlock code from the provider, if the phone will be upgraded or unbranded (for example I would like to leave out the T-Mobile customization and change the phone software with the usual I-Mate JASJAR) maybe can it have some problems with the unlocking code?
I hope that it will not be modified
Thanks for any replies.

Because you pay 50% for unlock MDA PRO ?
You can make for all?

Is it possible?
I have contacted 2 code providers so far, and both seem to have trouble providing me with a code.
Please post if you have unlocked your HTC phone on Orange Austria or on other continental European Orange networks.
PS. If it helps - my Desire has no visible Orange branding on the hard/software (HTC Splash screen), but the network lock is present.
I have tried HTCCODE and had no success unlocking with them. Is there another code provider that can help me unlock my HTC Desire?
have you unlocked in yet?
OK finally after bout 2 month i did my unlock
1. HTCCode 15euro -> no code found, fully refund after bout 1 or 2 weeks
2. Semaf.at 30 euro -> after 1 week emailed them, after 2 weeks no code found -> waiting for refund
3. got HTCCode Deep search email 30 euro => right code in under 10 min delivered!
so i really recommend htccode for nice email support and fast delivery!
I got a HTC Desire from Orange Ausria with a BOB sim card
It's definitely possible to unlock a HTC Desire with Orange Austria simlock. As isit-LoVe already mentioned htccode.com offers working codes - It seems Orange isn't relocking their phones like other austrian providers.
I unlocked my Desire for 35$ and I have to say it's worth every penny, especially because of the very friendly support by Sudarshan.
P.S.: I'm using the Desire with a yesss sim card now
Great service. HTC Deisre ( Orange Austria original locked ) work now with T-Mobile Austria SIM card.
How do you do it?
I can see on lockscreen: Limited service
and I can not enter any unlock code :/
Hey guys i should get my new desire this friday i want to use my O2 uk sim in it so two questions will a vodaphone uk handset be sim locked? second will i need o2's setting to get the internet ect working if so can any help me out there? thanks in advance.
Vodafone don't SIM lock their phones anymore
Where did you get your vodafone handset? I got mine through CPW which is unlocked and unbranded, although I think phones on Vodafone in general are unlocked.
You will have to manually setup your internet with O2's settings.

20 pcm with free phone and car charger had a walk around my town today and only cpw had in stock @ £30 pcm so just to have a second hand set next to my HD2 was a sweet deal!

Hi,
I've buy a brand new HTC Desire to an Orange shop in france.
I'm going to move in Germany and want ton install inside a german SIM.
Is there a quick and easy way to remove simlock on this phone ?
Regards,
Harlock
You'll need to buy an unlock code from one of the many websites that sell these codes.
I'm not going to recommend any particular site, because it seems the service you receive can be quite variable, so just google "HTC Desire Unlock Code".

I bought an HTC Desire HD recently from the UK and it was sim free.
I live in Japan and I am a regular Softbank user with a different phone currently. I went to the softbank store today to get my old sim card changed over to the smart phone sim card, the guy said it would cost $25 to change to the smart phone sim.
But when he put it in to test it didnt get any network connection at all in my new Desire HD.
He did a check on the phone and he said it was because the phone is not from in Japan and that the Japanese sim cards at softbank are locked.
Is there any way to get my new UK Desire HD to work on Softbank Japan?
Can someone please help? Thank you.
The phone is already rooted and has Radio-off and S-off done. Don't know if that helps.
Anybody have any insite?
Please.
Hi samusx.
did you manage to get it to work?
I'm going to japan in a few weeks, and would like to use my dhd with a softbank SIM.
I had the same problem with my SE X10 before, but I thought it was something else.
I can't imagine a provider locking their sim cards to their phone? Is that even possible?
