Where is the best place to get my Orange Uk Desire unlocked? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Question is in the topic.
Thanks

So apparently my phone is too new to be in the database.
Does this mean I am stuck not being able to use newer roms?
My current radio is : 32.42.00.32U_4.09.00.08

To new? You should be able to install any desire roms on the forum.

my one is similar:
Baseband version 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
and what is the meaning of this value?

I strongly suggest this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-Code-H...Software_RL&hash=item3a5d6cd72b#ht_2082wt_911
From Ebay. It only cost you 8 pounds and it will get unlocked in 5 minutes.
I'm on orange network too and I unlocked it by using the unlock code.
Hope this help.

I installed the latest radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
on my Orange and it locked out......I used the following site to get an unlock code, had my desire unlocked in about 15 minutes

Thanks for you help, but I spoke to that guy yesterday and he said he can no longer do the desire and will be pulling it down, he said it might come back at £19.99 in the future.
I used one website yesterday and it came back as not on database (possible reason phone too new is what it said)

Official HTC ROM download

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.

How to unclock Galaxy S I9000

Hello all,
this is my first entry on this forum, and sorry for opening a new thread, but i'm in a hurry in order to get my new Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone.
The problem is that is locked on ORange .
Can you please post here, how do i Unlock it myself... in order to have an original Samsung firmware and to receive any software updates?
thank you very much.
Hurry or not, READ THE FAQ!
Unless you intend to use your phone with a different operator, there is no need to unlock.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i want to use it with other operator than ORANGE.
Can you please add some links with tutorials in order to make the phone working with all operators.
thank you
There are no tutorials or links, because you cannot unlock the galaxy s at the moment.

That's not entirely true. I unlocked my UK Orange locked Galaxy S. Just google for "NCK code samsung galaxy s". It cost me about $30 to get NCK code, but the shop I bought it from refunded me this amount. It was their fault to send me a locked phone instead of unlocked.
As for procedure of unlock... you just enter the code when you see a prompt for sim unlock code.
but if i will root it, i will not need any codes right?
i will be able to use it with any sim i want.....?

Anyone know if they would have the unlock codes for the captivate/vibrant?
All of the people in those forums that ive seen have tried unlock sites, and they ended up being refunded because an unlock code wasn't available.

Did you try going to Alejandrissmo site? He uses the settool method on unlocking the bootloader on serveral devices including ours. On the site theres a list of instructions you have to abide by. Took about 15mins to unlock my bootloader and he will help you. Wish you luck.
its all good, i got it unlocked today from a gentleman in the uk,
$15gbp, not to bad for the benefits i get from it being now fully unlocked

You can't unlock it in service becouse they don't know how to do it
In Romania and a few other countries the unlock codes are changed by the factory when they recieve the order for that operators. So no unlock code from ebay or any other website will work for this phones
If you still need to unlock it, give me a PM. I can do it.

Even thought this is a pretty old thread, i just want to post a note here :
ROMANIAN Carriers cannot be unlocked by code, so any site that claims that they can provide the factory code for this is wrong. The romanian networks change the code on the phone, therefore the code from the HTC database is wrong.
The only way you can get this device unlocked is with a USB cable or get the code from your provider ie Vodafone Romania or Orange Romania.

You can't unlock it at home. I found a way to downgrade some firmwares to 4.0.3 and then unlock them. But on new firmware with TP drivers changed, you can't downgrade becous you touch panel will not work.
So you are stuck with your providers or you can sell it and buy a Samsung or an LG witch are not stuburn to lock theyr devices!

[Q] m8 verizon convert to HTC Europe

Hello!
i have an Verizon s-off M8, My question is if is possible to convert (change CID/MID) in to a HTC Europe (with a last firmware). I use it only in gsm band. it is possible?!
Nope, as it's a CDMA device not GSM

Sorry to ask this like a month later, but I had a similar question as the OP. Why wouldn't it be possible if I only wanted to use my phone in Europe on the GSM bands? I've been using it with a ROM for the international phones and it works fine. But I was also wondering if I could flash the newest firmware and 4.4.3 upgrade to use some of the newer ROMs for the international versions, like ARHD 10.2.

HI! Can you give me more details? I've just received the verizon variant (bought from an online store) in Europe.. I would like to "convert" it to international version so I could get official updates from HTC via OTA. IS that possible?

I don't think you can convert it over to the international edition, although I could be wrong, since some of the partitions, firmware, and actual hardware (like the CDMA receiver) are different. Given how buggy just some of the ROMs are with the int'l kernel built in, I would be worried about bricking the phone trying to actually convert it to be able to receive OTAs.
What you can do check out some of the ROMs that let you pick which variant to install. After you boot that up once, you'll probably need to reflash the stock VZW kernel (or read around and see if Verizon users got other kernels to work with the ROM). It's kind of trial and error. A lot of times I ended up without wifi or service until I found a kernel that worked.
For updates, (this part sucks) you'll have to wait for the Verizon phones to receive them in the US. Someone usually makes a set a files you can flash since we can't get the OTAs for VZW here and a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of going back to close to stock to get them. Make a backup, flash those, and go on your way!
But, you'll have to follow the updates and such for VZW phones and then just use a ROM to make it like an int'l versions.
I've been running the int'l version of Paranoid Android and before that ARHD and it's been fine. I used venom and I think n8 before that but it would only install the VZW version so I had to use ROM Cleaner and take out a lot of crap. The roaming triangles were annoying enough that I gave up on venom even though I like the ROM.

THanks for the reply. I think I will return it back.. I wanted a stock experience (eg: when HTC launch an update I DONT Need to wait for verizon to release an update).
I paid lots of money (~700$) for a contract free phone and got a branded phone (not sim-locked by branded is enough) . What a sh*t situation.

Oh God, I assumed you got a Verizon one because it was cheap. I picked mine up in the US for $150 so I don't care so much about having to wait since I saved so much money. If you paid full price I would definitely return it and get an int'l one instead!

Nope, the problem is that I wanted the 32 GB version and most of the online shops had only the 16 GB one. Maybe there is no international 32gb htc one m8..
PS: the retailer's product page (cel.ro) doesn't say anything regarding branding, even the photos are of a htc one m8 unbranded phone.
I am a bit late here. Can i flash a European custom rom on verizon M8? I want to completely get rid of verizon bloatware/services . If yes then while installing custom rom in aroma can i select WWE instead of verizon?? Summary of my question is can i use a WWE European custom rom on version M8??

You should only use custom ROMs that specifically support the Verizon variant. If the option is given in AROMA for carrier version (and VZN is one of those), its got nothing to do with what carrier/region you are located in, but refers to the version M8 you have, which is still Verizon. But you should check the specific ROM thread for details, comments by VZN version users, etc. as devs don't always setup AROMA the same way.
This thread is really old (almost 2 years) and we know a lot more now. FYI, I know its not what you specifically asked, but the topic of the thread is converting to Euro version by flashing firmware, RUU etc. And quite simply and frankly, do not attempt to flash Euro firmware, RUU, or change the CID/MID to do so. Flashing Euro firmware on the VZN variant will result in a radio brick, and the damage may be permanent!
