Hello dear xda fellows
I bought a Bouygues Telecom (French provider) HTC desire in August 2010, and flashed it with :
ROM : Open Desire 4.10
Radio : 32.44
I called Bouygues Telecom to get a Sim Unlock Code, as my phone does not work with SFR. They told me my phone is already unlocked, which is possible as I got my phone at a shop which sells unlocked phones.
After doing some research I saw this HTC hero thread, which stands it can be a bug from using too recent radio.
Tried to flash with 32.43 but still the same : when I use SFR sim, I'm asked "Sim Network Unlock Code".
Any idea ? How can I be sure that my phone is actually blocked or not ?
Thank you very much for your help, xda is great.

Try using the sim unlock tool...a quick search should locate it.
That worked right away, amazing.
Cheers.

Yup!
Sim unlock is possible and can be done in two ways,it depends on the DOC chip reference of your K-jam, G3 DOC chip or G4 DOC chip.
If G3 it can be done with 'lokiwiz02b' method,it'll permanently unlock SIM,which gives you the option to put in and use sim of any cellular network and use.
If G4 DOC chip,it can be done through using lokiwizMSL 0.3a,which will provide you with a unlocking SIM code.which you can put in at the option when you use sim of any cellular netwok and it asks for a SIM/PIN code.
To SIM unlock G3 version phone with lokiwiz02b check this link:-

Hi,
anyone can help me to unlock the HTC Fuze ? This is originally from AT&T. I bought from someone. Now I don't have his contact neither the unlock code. Is it possible if another rom is installed and the device is able to use my own sim ? Somehow I need to use my own sim which is not from AT&T.
there's no one to reply me ?
apparently u still have to pay to unlock it

Hi all
I'm new, and i'm glad to be a member of this great forum!
I've lot of confusion about the sim unlocking on my HTC Tattoo branded Orange.fr to my Wind SIM (italian)
After a series of research on google, i've understand that i've two options:
- The first one is buy a sim unlocker in a shop like Dealextreme
- The second one is root the Tattoo and install a ROM that doesn't have sim locking
But... i've some questions:
1. Have I well understand what i've to do?
2. It's better to have some crapy chinese unlocking stuff or doing some tricky hacking software procedure?
3. Wich ROM do u suggest me?
3.1 Is true that if i flash other roms i lose the radio and the camera?
3.2 Is it better use a rom based on android 1.6 or android 2.x? Why?
Thanks in advance for your help
matteios
Nobody can help me?
Tnx
Hi there
The debranded firmware on the Tattoo doesn't solve the unlocking issue.
We have one in store that is still waiting for a solution. To root/debrand is the same as the Hero, but the sim unlock code still doesn't get accepted after flashing. That's as far as i've got with it!
Unless something has occurred recently that i've missed that's all i can help with for now!

Now i've unlocked it by using the IMEI code, but even now can't i install a costum ROM on my HTC Tattoo?
hi,
first off all sorry for my poor english... :d
I bought a DHD from netherland actualy the phone comes from england( virgin telecom branded)
when i was home with my " new " phone. i started to unlock this machine.
- 1/ make a goldcard succeed
- 2/ downgrade to 1.32.x it was 1.75.x so i must be downgrade succeed
- 3/ radio s-off en then ENG s-off succeed
- 4/ then check my bootloader i have a supercid cid is 111......
everythink is okey so far my phone is unlockt.
now, in belgium we have 3 providers proximus, mobistar and base(kpn group)
if i insert proximus and mobistar i can send and talk no problem at all.
but if i insert base sim card i can't send or talk because i have no network,
but i have one think "mobile data" so i can to internet with gprs no network.
i have tried another base sim the same, i have tried my sim in other phone works perfect. i have talk to the service hotline they says everything is okey here you must be able to connect in our network.
when i try to manual search to a network en then select base i have a error
" your sim card doesn't allowed to register to this network"
i already install another radio, another rom...
who can help me, otherwise i gonna slam it to the f*cking wall.
thanks
my specs.
andriod : 2.3.2
baseband : 12.28b.60.140eu_26.03.02.26_m
kernel; 2.6.35.10-g4a4b278
build 2.16.0.0
andriod revolution hd 4 f*cking 0 :d btw: perfect rom i like it
Hi, don't apologise for your English, its perfectly understandable!
What frequencies does this Base use, are you sure the DHD supports them?
I remember a week or so back someone had the same issue with the Base network. I don't think that was resolved either.
hi,
base uses this band :E-GSM and DCS-1800
width(mhz) : 2 x 5 and for dhs-1800 :2 x 22
channel : 25 " " " " ; 110
i think desire hd is compatible with that frequencies stuff.
why have i grps network but no normal signals?
There is something to do with imei block or something?
I would try speaking to Base see if they offer support for DHD, if they do offer official support that would suggest it should work on their network, is Base in the APN list for ARHD?
i don't know exactly
i have been spoke with them. they says you must do a unlock for the phone
but i have already done, very f*king strange.
where you exacty can see for the arhd?
i think the best solution is: i gonna sell them, and buy a regular/no branded phone.
i worked 2 weeks with that phone.
erase everythink start again, again again. factory reset etc..
but sometimes i have network when i do restart iets gone again.
damn

Sounds like an issue with ARHD to me, if you can see a network sometimes very strange, have you tried a different ROM? possibly just a rooted stock i.e one of the raidroid roms

Question should be posted in the Q&A section of the forum and not in general....what kind of help do you need? Every branded phone is locked to a specific carrier, unless you get the unlock code from your carrier or you sim unlock it.

Yes, you can use the Hack Kit to root, S-OFF and unlock your device, but also ask your carrier for it....it is up to you.
You could also just buy an unlock code for your phone of ebay for a few dollars or search Google for your unlock code
