Hi friends,
Ok, I am a newbie. I have these questions.
I have brought the desire second hand in India. It says t-mobile at startup splash, so I gather its a branded mobile but I can use Indian (Airtel) sim. So its network unlocked. It's stock with following detail.
Pvt IV s-on
Hboot .093
Baseband 32.49.00.32U
Radio 5.11.05.27
Software 2.12.110.4
My question is
Do I need goldcard ?
Can I use WWE ruu without goldcard
After rooting and custom Rom should it again need to be network unlocked
Any help is greatly appreciated. Besides these points any suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks.

hi all
model: wildfire S A510e locked to orangeUK
Q... I have manged to unlock the hboot using this guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432474 as htcdev didnt work i still have s-on not rooted but i want to unlock to all networks is this possible? or perhaps just to unlock to o2uk
thanks
Xtc clip is the only solution.
Unless you do it through orange which will cost you more and wont give you s-off.
Find a good mobile shop and it should cost you about £10 and you'll be s-off too.
Yeah I thought as much thanks for the support

Can anybody tell me if the giffgaff SIM unlock tool works or do I need to buy a code ?

The only way to unlock is via a s-off bootloader. If you pm me a link to giffgaff unlock too I will have a look. I am on giffgaff and it worked with my DHD before I unlocked mine.
My DHD was with orange. So the chances are if you have a CID of HTC__001 it will work without a code or unlock tool.

Lies. You don't need S-OFF for SIM unlock.

S-OFF and simunlock are different. You can always sim unlock your device with the IMEI code provided by your carrier without even being S-OFF. The fact is that everyone relates S-OFF to sim unlock because both are gained by gfree exploit.
I suggest reading first all the possible documentation / information to avoid misleading posts or suggestions.

Greetings.
Have you tried downgrading your hboot to the ones Revolutionary supports?
ohai, me too.
Hi,
after years of reading and leeching, i had to register today.
I have the exact same problem, i received an old desire and felt like fiddling around with it.
BUT: the one i have is branded (vodafone) and has HBOOT 1.03
So, as far as i understood, i have to downgrade HBOOT to 1.02, then use revolutionary. So i read all them tutorials and tried all them things, but i can't create a GoldCard because the service is no longer available.
What do? Can someone help?

Tried that a few minutes ago, RUU can't complete the update. Probably because i have Vodafone branding?
I had to download the RUU from somewhere else than htcdev, because htcdev seems to be broken and won't let me DL the file.
