Hello, i have one piece htc wildfire which is network locked...can anyone tell me how to unlock it?
create goldcard and flash with any wwe rom you want
Hey,
I got an unlock code off of htcsimunlocknow.com but I am not sure how to enter it into my phone. It has been flashed with CM6 RC2 and it won't ask for any sort of sim unlock code even if I put an invalid sim into the phone. I know the phone is locked with the Telstra for sure!!
So if anybody knows how to enter the unlock code I would be able to say how reliable that site is!!
EDIT: THANK GOD. I had a nandroid backup of the original rom that came with the phone so I just flashed back to that. Inserted the invalid sim after the flash and it asked for the unlock code which I entered and IT WORKED!!
Also, the site i mentioned has a live chat and the fella helping me was so patient as it took my about 30mins for me to actually pay as I was stuffing around withy my paypal and he got the unlock sent to my email about 10mins after the payment went through! I'm not sure if flashing back to cm6 will make the phone locked to one network again though :/

gold cards are fairly easy to make all you need is a spear sd card (doesnt have to be very big) heres a guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
As far as I know, with a goldcard you can root and debrand your phone, but not sim-unlock it.
If it is possible to remove the sim-lock using a goldcard, please explain how.
Confirmation
I confirm, I just spent the night flashing my new wildfire to simunlock it, the flashing finally worked but it is still sim locked !!!
Really very surprising, it means the simlock info is stored somewhere which was not affected by the flashing, which is quite astounding.
If you have any info about what to delete for that...
I unlocked my wildfire for 25 euro on the web. I sent my IMEI and in about 2 hours they sent the unlock code and it worked perfectly.

Who is your provider?? you can try unlock code from your provider and get your HTC wildfire unlocked..if not you can get it from online provider..just make a try with Prounlocking and get unlock code for your mobile and get it unlocked..
Go to a phone unlocking shop. I got one done for £15 in the uk. Or you could ask about and see if you know anyone with a xtc clip. As that will s-off your device and remove sim lock. Good luck
Also sim lock stuff is stored in with the hboot and radio and stuff.

I found a code for $9 at Nck Codes. It wouldn't work with CM7, has to put a stock ROM on the phone to unlock then flash CM7 again.

Hello great minds at xda,
My friend too has a desire...as his phone is rebooting frequently and it's back panel is getting hot he wants to send it to service center...No issues with this
Problem----->He bought a desire from Grey market(it is generally a place in India where all sort of imported stuff which is not released officially in India is available) But no worries as phone is under warranty...So we want to unroot the phone..I tried using WWE RUU(2.2) and HTC Asia(2.1) RUU but it's not working..I get error.
The intresting thing is the boot screen animation says Virgin mobile..So I "think" that the original rom must be of virgin mobile BUT when we bought phone,it was already unlocked i.e any sim can be inserted
So if I flash the phone with Virgin mobile RUU(2.1) will it be sim locked again and do I have to purchase unlock code again???
People please reply urgently...
Current roM---Aurex Tsense8.4
Hboot 0.83
S-ON
Also if I downgrade,will there be some slcd bricking isssue???
I guess the error would be to do with the CID? Would of helped that you put the error. If you get CID error then just make a Goldcard and run the RUU again. It shouldn't sim lock once you've unlocked it.

And even if it did sim-lock it, their is a sim unlock utility on the desire thread
But Meaple is correct
Can my network block my IMEI, if my phone is
ACE PVT ENG S -OFF AND
CID 11111111
or would I need to use one of the IMEI website to receive a code.

Simple answer: no.

It seems that they can block your phone. As sim card has no service.
Unless there is a why to force the sim to work through some other method I don't no about. Bootloader? Recovery Menu?
UPDATE.
I have started reading the links in your sig, hopefully answer will be in their. Maybe re install CID? To achive sim free again. I think that although I had CID it was still on the ORANGE network.
Maybe this is what's stopping the ORANGE SIM to receive a Signal.
Hopefully I find the answer before you reply.
Cheers.

Im going to try a Radio 26.09.04.11.M2 as this is not tied to any network. To see if this works,
but as i was going about it i notice unlock sim in the GUI of easy radio tool 2.2.. I have had a look for a how too, but with no luck and maybe this is not the answer any way..
i will continue too look for the answer..
UPDATE
Radio change has given the same result.. IMEI GSM must be locked on the phone(reported lost). As the sim card works on other phones, but not on the now blocked phone.
Will continue to look for answer.
CID ORANG001 ( this is the CID the phone is now on ) i think then if i use your easy radio tool to change to HTC__001 would this unlock the sim or do i need to run sim unlock also??
SIMLOCK Back to ON..
This seems to be a issue.
I need to return SIMLOCK-ON. Now i think this is not possible as when i removed the sim-lock over a year ago, a file was saved to the SD card. Now without this file i cant put SIMLOCK back on.
CAN i clone/copy the details from a new factory fresh phone with the same network as the old phone i.e no CID,S-OFF or rooted!!! back on the old phone.
Could this help with getting the rooted phone back to SIMLOCK-ON.
As all i can achive is Radio S-ON Stock CID returned to network, but SIM LOCK is still set off. In the BOOTLOADER is a SIMLOCK but fails as no file on the SD card.
Can these details not be returned now?? Whats are the details in this file??
Well i changed sim card with one from another company that is not in the list of 'RUU htc unlock bootloader'.My bootloader is unlocked but it's S-ON.so i cant root it and i cant pt CM-7 rom that i want to. How i make S-OFF again??????
Unless you used an xtc clip you never had s-off

Why?? im from greece. i made the process of unlocking bootloader in htcdev.com using a simcard of vodafone Gr but now i changed company (cosmote GR)that is not supported and doesn't exist in the list of RUU.Now when i start the phone using vol down and power button (with the new simcard inside) it says bootloader unlocked but S-ON.
---I m not sure if it was S-OFF with the previous simcard--.
p.s Thank u very much generraly and really really congratulations to the forums of xda for the great work and action.
If you unlock via HTCDev you are only unlocking the bootloader you are not making the phone into an S-Off state.
Changing similar card will not effect your bootloader, if your bootloader says unlocked then your unlocked. Just root and install cyanogenmod 7

Hello guys.
When you use htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader, you will have to provide a device identifier to HTC. Then you get an unlock code.
This way HTC knows you have unlocked, or at least tried to unlock your phone.
What I am looking for is someone with a completely unmodified HTC Wildfire S (factory state). So it must be S-ON and never have been unlocked before. Best would be a brand new Wildfire S.
What do I want to test?
Dump the /radio and the /misc partition before and after several events
---- on an unmodified WFS
---- on an umodified WFS having installed the HTCDEV RUU
Then we will try to unlock the phone without getting the unlock token from HTCDEV.
If that works we will again dump some partitions to see what has changed.
As you may probably be new to this with an unlocked phone I will guide you to all the steps needed. There is nothing to worry about your phone. If it does not work we will make your phone as it was before.
I look forward to getting help in this matter. If it works out this will make the unlocking process easier and will keep your warranty.
Please take you about an hour time to step it all through.
Thanks
O_O
Sounds like a plan... Got mine A-off months ago, before HTC dev bl unlock existed.

i guess you couldn't, since this is meant for the wfs not sensation and that sensation and wfs are completely different
you are right
In china you unlock your HTC phone don't need to unlock token，just a tools，and click unlock，and then your phone unlocked.very east and fast,no body know that？
I'm trying to unlock my HTC Wildfire (BUZZ) A3333, it's on KoolSony HD ROM (based on CM7) by KoolSavas (it's a great ROM thanks KoolSavas) but when I put the foreign SIM card it doesn't show the unlock code prompt? I have already got the code but it won't show the prompt to unlock the phone!
What should I do? I don't want to flash a different ROM like stock and such, it shouldn't be worth the effort!
Please help me out!

It was SIM unlock. Don't worry I had to flash to a Froyo ROM, I used RemPuzzleROM to unlock it, people if you're going to root it then first unlock it on Froyo then go to CM7. CM7 seems to ignore the SIM unlock prompt but if it's on any Froyo ROM (RemPuzzleROM, Stock etc.) then it should unlock successfully but when I entered it, it just did a Hot Restart (went back to bootanimation) but it seemed to unlock :victory:
