unlocking desire hd - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hello im newbie here, i just want to ask if anyone here can help me to unlock my htc desire hd that was lock to orange uk. thank you for the help

I recommend eBay and the like. I have used many sites, and they all work the same way, so basically choose based on support and feedback.
If you are looking to do a bit more to get it for free, I have used both freeunlocks.com and freeg1unlockcodes.com (not sure if they are the same company, as they look very similar), otherwise, you can't go wrong with eBay (assuming you choose a seller with good feedback).

It can be done for free. I first rooted and s-off my desire using the XDA guide. Then searched for a network unlock app. All went well......... bit of a task but went well.

As Shmootz said, an unlock code can be bought on eBay. I bought an unlock code for a T-Mobile US HTC HD2 on eBay before and it worked like a charm.

I've a HTC Desire in mint condition non-branded, factory unlocked, all the accessories and box and also, 8 gb microSD class 4. Looking to sell it for £320 + postage & packaging. Will post pictures soon.
At moment its rooted with Modaco Custom Rom if you want I will unroot the phone and install stock rom.
Reason for selling is that I'm getting new HTC Desire HD.

Should this not be in the marketplace?

greedy - a friend bought a new unbranded, un-simlocked desire for 340€ - thats 20€ less than you want for a used one
£320? That's a joke a new one is only about £350?!
That's way too expensive plus only post this in the marketplace not the desire general section.

first, there is not any application like that on wildfire, so maybe you will be interested in xtc-clip, that makes s-off and also, unlocks wildfire network (to use all sims)
Thanks for the reply As far as I know this method is very expensive for those wanting to unlock only one handset... Any other suggestions?
Kind regards
Send the phone to a shop which has an XTC Clip. Alternative - Buy an unlock code from your operator / websites offering unlock codes. In the end, I think both will cost you the same.
Don't think there is any free way yet like that for the Desire.
yeah, as 3xeno said, there are lots of shops with xtc-clip, and it will cost around 20 Euros
Thank you all for your answers. You helped me a lot
I used HTCMania to find a online seller that sent me a unlock network code. Worked flawlessly, and they sent to me after 24h.
Thanks for your reply, louiscypherbr. How much does it cost? Best regards
I am on 3 network in UK I've asked them for code to unlock my HTC just payd 15 quid for that

but again that is pretty expensive, considering most people use it for rooting

It isn't for rooting but rather, to change operators / use another operators SIM in your device as and when needed.

Like I said before, try and convince the alpharevx team to try again. They tried once before but couldn't unlock it due to the hardware.
Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..
I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..
My 2 cents.
On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS
I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread
There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you
Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?
At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.
Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?

I think people are already doing this via eBay - check the 'XTC Clip Group-Buy' thread. Europe only though, not sure.
Check here, it's not so expensive.

Hi,
Anyone in the West Midlands area (UK) with a clip? Willing to pay and travel - phone is doing my nuts in - can't install anything cos of low memory and I have 15M left.
Gonna bin the thing if I can't put some lighter firmware on it!
Try an unlocking shop, one of them is bound to have an xtc clip.

Just got one on Ebay for $50 usd. I'll be done with it in a week or so and can pass it to the next one who needs it.

Network Lock Issue

guy's i'm using a Bravo here in Pakistan, its on 2.2.1 i've rooted with recovery, the issue is that everytime i flash another rom it asks for the "input network pin" prompt and i got no signals and no network, no one can unlock the phone here, but yes on froyo i've got my network, thankfully i restored a backup that i made and i get my network back... any one can help me get my phone fully unlocked so i can flash other roms other than froyo?
I would move this topic from Bravo Android Development over to Bravo General because there is where all of the Q&A topics should go. Just my suggestion, tho.
yes this should be moved, but answering your question @jafferkhan, it happened to me before, it is because you bought an cheap unlock code, everytime you flash it, it will ask for the unlock code, buy the code from another server, I know one that worked for me before, or try direct unlock with sigma key, all this methods are paid services

hey juan, thanks for the prompt response, you guys have helped me understand a lot about this phone, yes you're right, i think i will need to get it unlocked, but the entire phone cost me less than 15 dollars here where i am, and i know that it's been softunlocked, to run on 2.2.1 which is why when i upgrade it, it won't unlock, if you can, how to soft unlock it on CM7.2? so i will keep it on that only and it stays unlocked to use it on that
I don't think you could soft unlock this because there is no soft unlock for the Bravo yet like there is for the Defy. Yes, I did suggest you try the Defy soft unlock as a last resort thru PM but it didn't work. Juan seems to know more about this than I do, even I had no idea there was a difference between normal unlock codes and "cheap" ones that only work once. If anything, just find a ROM you would be comfortable staying on and buy another one of those cheap one time use unlock codes Juan talked about in his previous post. I know in my country I have seen cheap unlock codes go for around 2 US Dollars but I don't know how that would translate to Pakistan currency.

Well @jafferkhan there is not free unlock way for mb520, do you have any web store where I can buy a mb520 by 15usd?

If you are interested there is a used Motorola Bravo that is about 55 USA dollars on Amazon (and there's a new version for about 80 USA dollars). It is locked to Consumer Cellular, but it is running 2.2.2 Froyo which a lot of Motorola Bravo developers REALLY REALLY want. You see, most Motorola Bravo phones only run Android 2.2.1 but ONLY CONSUMER CELLULAR VERSIONS RUN ANDROID 2.2.2 SO FINDING ONE WITH 2.2.2 IS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER. Here is a link to the Amazon product page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
EDIT: I actually made a mistake. The one for 50 USA dollars is actually not used, it is new as well.
If you were to get this and it is running 2.2.2 Froyo as its Android version, me and the rest of the Motorola Bravo fans out there would ask you to first perform a system dump of all the Android 2.2.2 files before replacing the Android version with another ROM. To see what I am talking about with the whole Android 2.2.2 on Motorola Bravo thing (and to learn how to perform a system dump as well) take a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200602
@jasonmerc 55usd is too high, you can buy an atrix by 60
It was the lowest price I have seen for this phone anywhere. He told me he bought his phone in Pakistan where he is, and he said he bought it off of some guy and not on an online service like Amazon. So when it comes to buying one where you are (Santo Domingo) an online service might be your only easy option to buying a phone.

jason answered your question before me ... thanks jase, but yeah i got it here from a dude who imports these phones and sells them cheap, i got it for very cheap since it was in a rough condition, almost for free but since i've been using it, it's a very capable small cute phone, here you can get it for as low as 20 in good condition, and yeah an atrix HD for like 70 dollars here

[Q] Australian advantage program for cracked screen

Has anyone had experience dealing with HTC warranty regarding their first 6 month free screen replacement and been successful?
3 week old device screen shattered from 1 meter fall. What's the policy in HTC Australia.
The phone is on contract with Vodafone and they are refusing to replace screen.
Advantage with regards to cracked screens is US only, unless the HTC Australia website says otherwise

unhelpful.
Thanks for your unhelpful response. I wanted a reply from a user in Australia who had the same problem and what they had to do to repair their handset not someone who wants to increase their post count.

Oh and @EddyOS was being helpful even though you could not be bothered to look at the HTC Australia website yourself.
Why people waste thier time with muppets like you is beyond me!

Actually, you asked how you'd go about claiming through HTC Advantage (which is US-only) so I was actually being helpful. If you just wanted to know how to get a screen replaced, I wouldn't have answered at all
Next time, perhaps make the question clearer or relevant and you'll get the answer you want. Hopefully someone over there can give you more feedback as to what they did to replace the screen on their M8
And do you really think I need more posts when I'm over 13,000?
