Hi all
I'm new, and i'm glad to be a member of this great forum!
I've lot of confusion about the sim unlocking on my HTC Tattoo branded Orange.fr to my Wind SIM (italian)
After a series of research on google, i've understand that i've two options:
- The first one is buy a sim unlocker in a shop like Dealextreme
- The second one is root the Tattoo and install a ROM that doesn't have sim locking
But... i've some questions:
1. Have I well understand what i've to do?
2. It's better to have some crapy chinese unlocking stuff or doing some tricky hacking software procedure?
3. Wich ROM do u suggest me?
3.1 Is true that if i flash other roms i lose the radio and the camera?
3.2 Is it better use a rom based on android 1.6 or android 2.x? Why?
Thanks in advance for your help

Nobody can help me?
Tnx
Hi there
The debranded firmware on the Tattoo doesn't solve the unlocking issue.
We have one in store that is still waiting for a solution. To root/debrand is the same as the Hero, but the sim unlock code still doesn't get accepted after flashing. That's as far as i've got with it!
Unless something has occurred recently that i've missed that's all i can help with for now!

Now i've unlocked it by using the IMEI code, but even now can't i install a costum ROM on my HTC Tattoo?

If you only need to flash another then you don't need to unlock your device!
you can run uspl and flash any rom, but if you wanna use another provider then its best to check imei-check.co for sim unlock. read the stickies for more information.

Hello,
I bought a new fantastic TouchPro2 Orange-branded.
I would like to install the lastest official no-brand ITALIAN ROM WM6.1 from the HTC website.
But I cannot download it because my serial number is associated to the Orange phones.
Can you help me to find this ROM or give me a valid serial number (so that I can use it again as soon as HTC will release the official WM6.5 ROM)?
Thank you in advance to all.
P.S. If someone is interested to my unlocked Orange-branded ROM 1.19.61.3 (51489) WWE no problem for me to share it !

Sorry for ignorance: if is the official HTC Rom, why do I need to installa HARD SPL?
your phone is set to only allow Orange ROMs - I think it's the CID
if you install HardSpl it allows you to flash ROMs not intended for your device and they also don't need to be signed
if you SIM-unlock your device using this forum you'll have the option to change the CID of your device - this will allow you to use any signed ROM even without HardSpl
but as I'm new to all this please wait till someone more experienced verifies this post
I think the previous Orange ROM was better than the official HTC ROM, anyway it was in english so this one is OK for me.
I'm looking forward to the official release of the WM6.5 HTC ROM !

unbranding HTC fuze and load new SA rom
I have a HTC Fuze At&T phone which I sim unlocked to use on Vodacom/MTN network. The phone software is really crappy and I was hoping that I can get a rom update on this site so that I can flash the SA version and hopefully get the GPS and browser to function.
I successfully did that for my Experia but cant find simular info for the HTC fuze or Touch pro as it is called in SA.
Any help will be great.
thanks

Good luck,
Hi everyone, I in korea now and looking for a new phone. SKTelecom have HTC Desire, but i wonder if:
1)Can i flash custom roms on it, saving compability with SKTelecom (SKT doesnt use IMEI, also have sim-lock)
2)And most important, if it can be used in China with other carrier. (Be unlocked from SKT and hardware compatible with standard WCDMA2100, China Unicom)
After a lot of investigating in another thread we found the Korean HTC desires without IMEIs infact do, but they are not on the label and hidden in rom. It is accessible by going to the debug menu ( forgot it, hopefully another helpful member van provide it)
Regarding custom Roms, I think it should be possible to flash a custom Rom on that phone as long as you use unrevoked or the gold cars methods.
I expect you can and would need to to unlock (if they can get rid of all parts of the Rom that deal with imei they can get rid of the parts needed for unlocking.(HTC desire's in the UK on Orange have a quirk where you are unable to unlock until you install a custom or debranded Rom.))
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thank you!
Well, another question: Is it possible to make 100% dump of SKT rom and flash it back? (Guarantee issues)
Hi,
I recently brought a Samsung Galaxy S, however is is SIM locked on orange so I can not use my T-Mobile SIM card in it.

Details of phone are:
Model - GTI900
Firmware Version - 2.3.3
Baseband Version - I9000XXJVO

Thanks in Advance

SIM UNLOCK - Desire HD on 2.3.3
Hello everyone
I am new to this XDA-DEVELOPERS forum hence don't know whether posting comment over here is correct or not. [Advice in case]
I am having HTC Desire HD on 2.3.3 which is SIM LOCKED on Softbank. I wish to know if there is any method to UNLOCK the phone without downgrading to Froyo [Android 2.2]
If anyone knows a good link on this site, please let me know.
There might be relative posts on this site i.e. SIM UNLOCK Desire HD on 2.3.3 but being new to this site, I don't want to create a new thread unnecessary.
Please try and understand.
Hope to have a reply from someone on this site/forum. Thanks in advance!!!
Best Regards,
search up galaxy s unlock and follow instructions thats how I unlocked my phone
Hi,
I need help solving a problem that it's driving me INSANE!
Last month i bought a HTC ChaChaCha froma Portuguese Operator (TMN) and i love it.... but my love is sweet and sour because the internal memory SUCKS. I'm trying to root it but i have faced some problems.
I tried to unlock bootloader on HTCDev site but when i download the ROM Europe version it doesn't run. The error says that i have the version 1.57.412.6 and need the 1.57.412.4
Do i have to want for HTC update? Or is there some other way i could root my htc?
Thanks for your help.
