Hi, I need to unlock a T-Mobile DHD that I've just bought. I have read the previous posts on here, but I'm wondering if paying 15 Euro for a manufacturer unlock code from htccodes.com would be the least hassle way to SIM unlock my DHD?
Still not quite sure of the alternative. Which part of the process removes the SIM lock; flashing the radio? If I pay for a manufacturer code, I take it that installing a custom ROM wont enable the SIM lock back?
Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks.
Use my radio tool (link in sig). It can SimUnlock your phone, for free
If you do the simunlock, it will stick, nothing will lock your phone again.
@jkoljo Thanks very much. I'm actually getting the phone tomorrow, so I'll give it a go and no doubt be back on here asking more questions
So the S-OFF tool sim unlock the phone in the process, or is this like a separate feature? I will be getting a Orange UK locked DHD soon!
You can choose to do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and Sim unlock all at once, but the tool can also do just Sim Unlock.
Once you know what your doing, it takes 10 minutes max using the tools mentioned above.
SimUnlock
I want to unlock my Desire HD, but do as little 'messing-about' with the stock firmware as possible (i.e rooting, custom roms etc.). Would following your guide and just selecting 'SimUnlock' leave me with a ordinary DHD? (Except for the fact it would be unlocked haha)
Sorry if this is a silly question, I am a total newbie to this kind of thing.

If you call your carrier and tell them you're travelling overseas, they still charge you to unlock your device?

Hello there,
For the past few days I have been browsing through the XDA pages but was not able to locate the necessary information. May be I was looking under the wrong terms or key words.
Anyways, I have switched from iPhone to HTC Desire HD. I got it second hand and it has no SiM card. Basically, when I insert my uSiM it shows emergency call screen only.
I was browsing through XDA and as far as I got it I first need to activate the phone with the necessary sim card in order to unlock the phone. Is there possibility to `hactivate` the phone with no original sim.
And can you people help me to locate necessary information on the site?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Peace,

Like others new Threads...and newbies...read some posts on XDA before asking.
Answer: it is actually not possible to SIM unlock HTC Artemis, P3300 from the operator you buy it.
1° there are some links on the web where you can buy an unlock code for SIM unlocking P3300.
2° Ask your operator if it is possible to give you the unlock code.
3° If you got some skills on programming this device, help community to find an unlock sequence for it.
I hope this answer will be for you and any futur (in two days) questions about that very usefull.

I have searched the forum and read some threads before posting and found the only way of unlocking is to buy an unlock code which is not available for Austria A1 operator. If there is a thread on unlocking Desire without buying unlock code please post the link.

If you mean to unlock the bootloader to gain S-OFF, then it's really a no brainer with revolutionary.io

Rooting is never safe and has its risks but if you follow the instructions well then you will be OK! The first time I rooted I only had to do it once and it worked so it's possible.
If you're just looking to get your phone unlocked to all carriers there are SIM unlock tools available for free. But if you want to pay it doesn't cost more than $10 US.

Hi Brothers,
I need it for that i request my senior members to help me. And you want to close it, is there any special reason to close brother.
Thanks
Br, Raja
What are you on about, you cant get S-Off unless it came that way!!!
And sim unlock is done online on any website offering it for the one x for about £8 via a code they will email you, you dont need root, unlocked bootloader or s-off to achieve this.
I 2nd the motion, close this thread.
Hi All,
I am a noob or atleast newly registered to XDA but have resolved many issues over the years with your help so thank you very much for all your past help.
I have recently rooted my old htc desire without a blip, then dropped it and no amount of XDA help will resolve that issue, more rubbled than bricked...
I have an HTC Desire HD tied to orange that I want to root and flash Jellybean ROM (open to suggestion of a better ROM). Every step by step or guide I have found in a few hours of searching tells me to use AAHK but all links on all sites to the download result in a 'page no longer available' or redirect but not to a download page
I am nowhere close to truly understanding the technical side of rooting, I have a lot of respect for those that do, but I can follow directions. Without the actual software the directions don't lead anywhere so I'm at a frustrating stand still. Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I see people usually list some system info so here is mine
HTC Desire HD
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1
build number 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
If anymore info is required I will get it on here asap and thanks for any help you give me, cheers

sorry for the newbie question but ive little to no idea when it comes to this sort of thing.
my contract is up on my HD which is on Orange network & im now wanting to put it onto Tesco & after trying the sim inside the phone it will no longer take either sim & is saying ""SIM network locked please contact customer care"" so do i need to root the phone for this to work & will it also debrand it as i no longer want the orange crap on it anymore.
thanks. for any advice :good:
I know AAHK does SIM unlock as part of the process. Then you can flash an unbranded ROM.
thank you for the quick reply..
so if i do the AAHK i should get it to accept the Tesco card at least.? that's the main thing i'd like to unbrand it but its not really an issue as long as i can get it to work on tescos network..
i paid for it unlocking today & sent off my IMEI number but they emailed me saying it can not be unlocked..?
thanks.
Even if a phone is SIM unlocked, I believe the carrier can still lock the SIM card. So whether you can use the Tesco card is up to them.
