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

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.
Hi all hope everyone has had good xmas i recently got my HDH just before xmas on contract from Orange uk ive got it unlocked but would really love to get rid of the huge amount of bloatware the poor thing came with. I would like to return to a stock HTC rom and im currently using RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed and everytime i run it i constantly get this message ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR i have used the orginal 8gb which came with the phone and a 2gb sd to create my goldcard. Ive created the gold card multiple time but still ge the customer id error message ive used the goldcardtool and also created the goldcard the manual way by editing with a hexeditor and still the same result. Please can any point me in the right direction the current rom on the phone is 1.40.61.2 and the Hboot is 0.85.0007.
Regards
Hi,
Hope you had a great xmas also. Your DHD will need to have SuperCID, Your DHD is checking the CID (Customer ID) of the Stock HTC Update and it doesn't match the CID provided by Orange UK.
You can follow This Guide and just follow the steps.
Once your CID is unlocked you can flash anything regardless.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Thankyou for your quick response it worked a treat no more orange bloatware what a relief. I presume i do not need to keep the goldcard in the system and i can format my 8gb sd back to normal card?. Also the ruu i listed above is the latest one i presume from htc if you know by any chance, anyway thankyou again its so nice shame on you orange.
Regards
No, the ROM you listed is not the latest. If you flash the latest HTC ROM you will lose Root, ENG HBOOT, S-OFF.
Thankyou ill leave it at this one for now then have a good new year
Regards
thnks for the Good Guide...was searching for it...
@OP - As you have already installed an RUU u might have lost Root and S-Off already.
you can goto Settings - about phone - system updates and install the latest update.
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??
Hi there,
I m going to sell my phone to a recycling company so wanted to remove my root before sending it in.
I messed up a number of times by trying to install a lower version RUU, ended up with no ROM and unable to flash another ROM.
I remembered that i originally de-branded the phone using the WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048, so used my goldcard and re-flashed.
So I am now back with working phone. Is it ok to send it like it is now or should I downgrade the hboot and flash with my original carrier RUU?
There aren't any further updates after froyo from HTC anyway, so they wont need a gold card and my phone is unlocked.
thanks

I know this is an old phone but my mother was complain about it so I told her I'd see what I could do, the usual method of unlocking the phone via htcdev does not work, just gives me code is to long error, so I turned to the forums looking for way to unlock and root the phone, all I want to do is install CM 10.1 but since I can't even get it unlocked, and it will not downgrade with RUU is come to ask if anyone here is still alive is there a still working method with active links to I can get the job done?

It is currently locked and branded the 3 UK, Software Number 2.26.771.2

Well first I tried unlocking it via HTC dev but it would not take the code, so I came to the forums and seen that first I have to debrand it, so I'm stuck at debranding since the phone will not allow the firmware to be downgraded, which i learnt then that id have to force downgrade h-boot so I can downgrade the firmware, thats where im at, stuck at debranding -.-

You don't require to debrand to unlock IMHO...............go word by word on the instructions on HTCdev.com, Just proceed to the steps since you have an unlockable bootloader
