Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you
Bhai sab fit! It will defo work. What Network is your Bro on?

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?

should work fine, they both belong to the asia region, you may have to check the radio frequencies of the service provider you wish to use if you want 3G, but as a standard 2G device there will be no problems
I think it could be SIM locked though. That can be changed using tools like gfree.

Thanks for quick reply. I asked my friend to buy unlocked version. It seems to be little cheaper than in India.
cheers,

in any case, you always could root and flash a new radio to work properly in your service provider, =o)... i bought mine from singapore too and works fine here in Brazil, so i really believe there's no problem to get it in India....
Claro Edge + CM7 RC1
thiagodark what version are you using for the radio ? I can make my connection to be stable with Claro at Brazil.
The data connection always run with edge, I'm using this version for the radio 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.15_M3. A already try other radio version and only works with the Stock OS, but for a couple of minutes.
Any help for this ?
Thanks,
whom should I call to blacklist it? HTC? or they wouldn't since the phone is international?
Call your carrier.. Give them the details they ask.
If you have insurance call the insurance company, and also your carrier as the person above me mentioned

Get to a pc, log into your google account on the android marketplace, and install Plan B by lookout mobile security. If your google account is still active on your lost phone it'll install and email you the location of the phone.

Yes. I tried it once. Works very well. Just got to hope the phone hasn't been wiped since you lost it, and that you left 3g turned on!

I cannot call my carrier because the phone was purchased on ebay and was unbranded made in Taiwan. also the trick that can locate the phone did not work. so my best choise is to blacklist it but idk whether htc would blacklist it or not since it has no carrier

you can still call the carrier to get the sim card blocked and stop any wanted charges being billed to you
and i doubt HTC would do anything... why would they care/bother?
Thanks.
Also, does it have DC-HSPA+?
Yes to unlocked and yes to unbranded. I brought someones 3 upgrade and put my t-mobile sim card in.
Whats DC-HSPA+?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's certainly unbranded, not a bit of bloatware to be seen. Can't comment on it being unlocked though as don't have another micro sim to try it. .. hopefully it is.
Is there another way of checking if the phone is unlocked?

Up to 42mbps, Three should have it soon I think. The Galaxy S3 has it, so I'm wandering if this has it too.
I ask because I would have got the 4G one from T-mobile, but T-mobile are completely useless and I can't bare being on their network any more.
Just tested my Note 2 from 3 with my cousin's O2 sim card, pleased to report it's unlocked and worked fine
Managed to try another sim tonight and I'm happy to report the phone is unlocked
I wonder if it's just the first batch from three though that come unbranded and unlocked?
The three customer service bloke advised me that there would be a charge to unlock the phone...

I got mine from 3 and can confirm it's unlocked, unbranded, and has hspa+. Speedtest app showing downloads of 9mb down and 2.5mb up. The network symbol changes from H to H+ depending on what's available

Excellent news, I've just recieved my upgrade from 3 today, it is awesome and to make it even better because I've been with them for 8 years and threatened to leave they give it me for £24 a month on the one plan!

I don't think it does. Just 21mb down on Samsungs site.
I asked in the shop from a rep who seemed to know just about everything about the SGNII - HSPA IS on all 3s SGNIIs and it is not likely they will be getting 4G any time soon as "the standard" - probably at least a year (not sure if that means the same as DC-HSPA+).
Mine's an unbranded (no other microsim to test unlocked) but it frequently shows the 'H+' symbol.

Hi
Does anyone know if three actually block tethering on the ultimate internet tarriff, or just hold you in breach of contract if they find you? Am currently on orange and although you're not allowed to tether it works. I rarely do but its handy on the rare occasions when my home tinternet is down, for example. Would rather not stump up the extra for the one plan since tethering will be very rare.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know there's no way for them to tell if you're tethering or not.
First thing I did after going into the 3 store to get my Note 2 a week ago was head to a carphone warehouse nearby and cheekily ask if I could borrow a microsim from another network to see if my phone was unlocked. The girl in the shop was kind enough to lend me the vodafone sim from her personal iphone 4s (and was definitely impressed by the Note 2), and voila it turned out it was completely unlocked and unbranded!
Result!

I'm sure there will be if the user base calls for it. Hasn't been made yet because the device technically doesn't launch until tomorrow on T-Mobile.
I'm curious if the T-Mo version will work flawlessly with AT&T. I've heard the Sprint and Verizon devices can be buggy.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

In the meantime, everything you read for the u.s. unlocked version translates directly to the T-Mobile version.

I just put in the Trans #, they require a scan of the receipt anyway, so I recon it's just to cross check.
The proof of purchase will be the scanned document.

Even with the unlocked version we still had to go through HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP. I am willing to bet that it will be the same with the T-Mobile version.
