I have a T-Mobile UK HTC Desire - phone is locked to T-Mobile and the operator logo shows upon boot.
Is it possible to both unbrand and unlock the phone by replacing the firmware with some kind of unbranded HTC Desire (UK?) firmware?
Thanks.
PS. I recently did this to my Samsung Galaxy S - followed online instructions to download unbranded equivalent firmware; it removed the operator logo and, though the phone wasn't SIM-locked seemed to rejig some original Vodafone settings so that I can now successfully send T-Mobile MMS.
No you cant, you will have to buy an unlock code..

sim network unlock pin?
OK, I know simular queston have been asked, and i'm not a total noob,so please dont flame me.
I have searched and looked but cant seem to find an answer, either i'm being dumd (possible), or missing something.
I have three phones
1: nokia 5800.
2: nokia 6030 on contract with vodafone.
3: HTC desire on contract with t-mobile.
and three sims
1: virgin PAYG
2: vodafone month contract
3: t-mobile on contract
My problem is on the desire,
I can use the virgin and t-mobile in it fine, but if I try to use the vodafone sim it comes up with "sim network unlock pin" and asks for an 8 digit number.
I can use all three sims in the other two phones ok, the problem is only the vodafone sim in the desire.
The desire has been rooted, s-off,
I have run the sim unlock utility via the boot ISO "HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.2a.iso" ,couldn't get the win version to work on Win7.
The radio file was 32.54.00.32U when I tried to use the sim, I downgrade it to 32.49.00.32U and ran the simunlock utility again ok, but the problem still occurs.
On HBOOT-0.93.0001
Running Leedroid 3.0.8.2, tried cyanogenmod 7.1.0-rc1 and still same problem
any ideas, because i'm stuck.

hi
I have a desire which I have rooted and S-OFF 'd and also put 4ext recovery and alpha-rev hboot
do I need to perform more shenanigans to sim unlock? or is that covered by S-OFF ?
thanks
nat
s-off is just security off, it has no effect on ur sim.
if u search Desire Android Development theres a tool there that can unlock ur sim card. think its called "HTC Desire sim unlock" or something like that.
but for flashing roms etc, it doesnt matter if ur sim is unlocked or not.

i think its best to unlock your sim you never know when you might need to put someone elses sim in your phone & if you've gone to all the trouble of rooting it you might as well unlock the sim to then its completly under your control & its not hard lol

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:
