network lock in O2 desire

guys,
i brought my htc desire yesterday and i found that its branded for O2 uk and its slcd screen so i used the method at the start of this thread but still i got (Network Locked) Please help.
my phone system is : HBOOT-0.83.0001
RADIO-4.08.00.09
1.21.405.2

this is the method i use:
[ROOT] Method for HBOOT 0.83 (SLCD phones) posted by lollylost100

That isn't a network locked Desire, unless that is the ROM now running on your device (x.xx.405.x is the generic ROM version). O2 ROMs are x.xx.207.x

thats right its a rom after rooting but im still facing problem with network lock .
please help

[Q] Desire on Orange with 2.2 - debranding?

Hi,
I've read a few similar threads here, but there is no answer for my case, so i dare to ask you.
Briefly:
HTC Desire, locked and branded by Orange UK,
Froyo 2.2 - offical /OTA?/
Rooted
Bravo PVT4 Ship s-off /now is off, after the root i manage to turn it off, originally it was on/
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 5.10.05.30
MICROP - 051d
So, the other thing is that i bought just a phone and the seller didn't know is that phone is with SLCD display ot AMOLED.
I want to flash with Stock WWE ROM or some custome one. But in all of the instructions here for debranding and so on for the LOCKED/BRANDED Desire it is said "NOT working for 2.2 /OTA/"
Is there a way to manage my Desire to be a stock, non-branded and unlocked* phone?
*I've purchuased an unlock code, because the thread for the unlocking here just did not helped me at all.
Thank you in advance.

It will say whether its slcd or amoled on the box, if it doesnt mention amoled then its slcd
To debrand you need a gold card, follow a tutorial, or download gold card helper from the market.
Run this and get you mmc into a gold card, then run a generic RUU and wait for it to install, this will debrand your phone
For root use unrevoked google it,.if you get an error download version 3.21. This will give you s-off, so you can flash custom roms using recovery
Hope this helps
Regards
Vengeance
(any questions just ask il try to answer them best i can)

Hi, I rooted my branded orange slcd desire without a gold card.
1. install the htc sync tools then uninstall it - The drivers remain
2. Download the desire custom root file - available on XDA (use search)
3. Install unrevoked making sure usb debugging is enabled - click file and use the custom root file downloaded earlier
4. Connect your desire and let unlocker do its magic and your rooted.
you can S-off after this process but it is not necessary if your using a standard sense rom
Pick your rom of choice and install
use the debranding tool on xda
regards

Clearing doubts

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.

You will need a goldcard as it is a T-Mobile branded phone

[Q] Sense based Rom for Virgin Mobile Canada?

I am fairly new to Android, I've had my Wildfire S for just over a month. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. I am looking for a stable sense based rom that will work on my phone.
I have tried CM7, but I prefer the look and feel of sense. I have read that going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 improved battery life.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
HTC WILDFIRE S [Marvel A510a] CDMA/HSPA (with sim card)
Carrie: Virgin Mobile Canada (on Bell's network)
Android Version 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version 2.1
Software Number 1.36.666.5
***UNLOCKED***
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0099
MI CROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.36.14M

Look in the android development section for the Wildfire S

Make sure what you get is a Marvel ROM and not a Marvelc ROM. Virgin Mobile US is Marvelc and VM Canada is Marvel, so don't pay attention to carrier, but rather to Marvel vs Marvelc.

how did you unlock it?

Hi, I'm a noob here. Just wondering how you got your bootloader unlocked? I've tried several times with no success. I have the same phone on the same network with the same carrier. I have tried the method on the htcdev site with no success. The only difference is my HBOOT is 0.90. I have tried to update it but have not been successful.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

your hboot is 0.90 meaning you still have android 2.3.3
go to settings>about phone>software updates
and update your phone.if phone says no update..
factory reset and then try again.
now your phone will be updated to 2.3.5 and hboot to 1.09 or something..then you can able to unlock bootloader.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it's Android 2.3.3. I tried what you suggested but my phone still tells me there are no updates available even after factory reset.

thats unexpected.
because every wildfire s has 2.3.5 update.
& also you can't root your phone till you don't update your phone to 2.3.5
you can go to service center they ll update your phone.:good:
