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?

Unlocking HTC desire, Vodafone Hungary

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

[Q] Desire HD "Limited service" !?!

Hi i just bought a used HTC Desire HD and when i start it it says "T Mobile"
When i insert SIM card in it (Swedish) it says ""Limited service", i put in PIN but only limited service and then i have no signal...
I have tryed 4 different SIM, 3 swedish 1 thailand. Same thing.
When i go to settings network i can search for network operaters, then all the network i can have in sweden comes but i dosent matter wich one i choose it says : Your sim card does not allow connection to this network, which is very strange because if i have TELENOR sim inside and choose TELENOT it says the same...
Please someone help me
My guess would be that your phone is branded (SimLock) You have to have a t-Mobile sim card for it to work to you ave to get rid of the lock. Plenty of info about unlocking DHD in the forums.

downgrading and unlocking are different things even if you have downgraded the simlock stays on unless you unlock it.
yes but i use the ultimate multi tool, and did all. sim-unlock also and when check after it says sim unlock.
why is it not so i can put in code from network. it was like that with other phones wich is network locked. but this i put pin code and then limited service only.
so how do i then unlock sim ?
could it be that the lock is on your sim not the phone, try another SIM
have tryed 3 different swedish sim + 1 thai sim no working...
get the phone contacts and all from sim and pin. but no signal. finding the sim network in list but cant conect to it.... your sim does not allow connection. ?!?!

Ok, so you have a RHOD500 which is a CDMA device first and a GSM device second.
What I mean by this, is if you're using for GSM in the US, then you have to get the SIM slot unlocked.
Installing Android will do nothing at all, whatsoever to your SIM - so lets just leave that on the side.
With all that said, if your SIM worked before I'm really not quite sure what could have changed to break it. The SIM unlock I was talking about earlier wouldn't apply, if the exact same SIM worked previously.
So perhaps explain in detail what you've done and what you're trying to do. Have you changed carriers? SIM's? Anything like that? Does it work on the stock ROM?

Thanks for the reply.I managed to fix this problem by searching and reading .After checking Radio of the phone i seen it was a WV so i installed a WU radio and now my Sim is working.I don't know how my radio got back to a locked wv one but never the less thank god for these forums.Being a rookie at cell phones is rough but at least theirs plenty of help and info on the net.

Ah makes sense, I didn't even think about suggesting that. Enjoy!
Most roms will not load a radio, but a few will. Perhaps when you reloaded your rom changed the radio out. it If you watch the white screen during a rom load it will usually tell you what it is loading. I have some nhb files that will only change the boot screen art. So it is possible to mix and match what is loaded.
Glad you found the issue.

HTC One X won't accept sim unlock code

I have had two companies give me the same unlock code which does not work. Is it a problem with the phone or a problem with the code?
Both say factory reset the phone but this has some issues I think, sometimes I get a red triangle or it reboots very quickly without resetting from the rom.
Phone is sim locked to Three UK (who have stopped fixing the phone directly and HTC won't look at it as its been boot loader unlocked)
Can anyone help with this if so, give full instructions and files needed. Thanks in advance.
P.S. it would be nice if a debranded rom could be installed.

ARe you on STOCK rom and stock recovery. If no go to full stock
I had the same problem on my One X locked on Orange Romania. It seems some GSM operators change the factory unlock codes. The only way to unlock it would be to have a buddy working at the GSM Operator or wait until the phone gets out of contract. I was unable to unlock mine.
yes I'm on full stock rom.

It shouldn't, I believe I had the same problem but I was on AOSP, I had to put a stock ROM on for sure.
It could be worth locking it to see though, it's not the biggest pain in the ass!
If no joy, Im out of ideas... sorry mate!
Good luck

My phone has this stock Rom already on it.. I would have to try putting another stock Rom on it. It it possible to put a standard unbranded stock Rom on it instead of HG3?
As far as I know ofcourse you can
OK I have put another H3G stock rom on and this does not work either.
After looking into this further I have found somewhere that if the phone is a replacement one or something was changed from manufacturer and providers with regards to databases for unlock codes then the one provided may not work.
Well my phone went into the service centre and they fixed it but stated after testing they decided to change the mainboard. I suspect because it was originally a CID 1111111 with S-OFF(unbranded as HTC described it) as it was delivered first day they came out. Rush job to get to market and didn't get branded to H3G_001 and S-ON I suppose.
Anyway I suspect that because the main board has been changed the the unlock code has also changed and not been documented or changed on the database for the codes. So they are providing me with the original code not the new one and the letter for the fix state IMEI code previous and new the same, so they must have just reprogrammed that and forgot about the unlock code.
Is there a way to read these off the phone, NVR or something?
I am with Orange or EE and I have tried to flash a stock rom with stock recovery and relocked bootloader and nothing has worked. I have paid 2 companies for the unlock code which is the same code and nothing works I am so frustrated might have to leave htc. This is ridiculous I am on 3.16.61 and my cid is orang001

Just to kick this up I've had the exact same problem (this time with t-mobile) 3 companies and EE all with the same code, all refused by the phone.
Heart breaking really.
Is there no hardware method to get the code or an alternative sim unlock out there?
