I got XTC-clip i have already unlocked couple of Incrd 2 devices everything works fine.
now the problem is i got an Incrd2 with already S-off with Revolutionary, so far i understand Revolutionary s-off doesnt do any Sim unlock (GSM) also i Noticed that Revolutionary changes the Hboot from 0.97 to 6.13.1002. anyway i tried it with XTC Clip but it doesnt make any changes or unlock.
so can someone advice me whether i can go back to Hboot 0.97 ?
I just called Verizon and told them I'm in the UAE and need to use a local sim.

Hi, I’ve been struggling to remove the simlock on an HTC Desire that was locked and branded by Tmobile (UK). The unlock code that I bought was accepted by the phone but there was no second request (I believe that the desire should ask twice for the unlock code). Since then I’ve had no network unless a tmobile sim is inserted. The phone hasn't asked for the code again.
Things I’ve tried:
DEBRANDING: I made a goldcard and flashed a stock froyo ROM as it was suggested that this process would remove the simlock as long as I remoed my sim during it. (http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/blog/20100822-how-debrand-htc-desire-update-froy)
ROUTING
I’ve routed (Unrevoked3) and flashed a custom ROM (Leedroid 2.2f)
S-OFF
I’ve achieved S-off (AlphaRev) (but not Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and SimUnlock)
Everything went to plan, but still no network!
I’m not unique in experiencing this problem with a tmobile branded HTC Android phone.
There seems to be a fix for the Dezire Z/G2/DHD (easy full Root, S-OFF, SuperCID AND SIM UNLOCK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857390 using Gfree
This fix for the Desire HD: One click Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, SimUnlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537)
But nothing for the Desire!
HELP!! I’m exhausted and have run out of ideas.

Any advice would be most gratefully received!
wow, it sounds like you've tried almost everything...!
I had the same problem and called customer services (150) and told them I was going abroad for a few weeks and wanted to use a local simcard and they gave me a code to unlock the sim (free of charge) now I can use any simcard, virgin, orange o2 etc etc....good luck..!
That was my first step, but the code didn't sim unlock despite the phone telling me that it was the right one! Still locked to Tmobile but I guess I know more about Android than I did a week ago.
Same issue
Hi, I've got the same issue with my Desire...
The phone was locked with one operator in the UK, I then unlocked it but since then, I can not access any networks and I'm stuck...
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,

you tried this , worked for me on a virgin branded desire, virgin use the tmobile network..
can anyone tell me how to de-brand a wildfire s and direct me to the correct file i need
thanks
first of all you need to know if your wildfire s is s-off or s-on, if its s-on forget debranding for the moment it can not be done... there are tools very close to being available to help to bypass the s-on such as alpharev x. please note.. the gingerbreak app does not work with s-on but will work with s-off so you wont have any problem rooting with gingerbreak with s-off... after you have rooted there are plenty of discussions on here to help you installing custom roms and ruu,s hope this helps a little..
thanks the comment but its an o2 with a 3 sim in it
does not matter what sim you have fitted, unlocked to other networks dont alter the fact that if you need to debrand from the 02 bloatware you still need to have the phone s-off.. before it can be debranded/rooted.. ulocked to other networks does not mean that its ulocked for you to debrand.... two seprate issues.. maybe reading your post wrong buddy but as i understand i am thinking you have wires crossed from debranding and network unlock and thinking because its network unlock its s-off.
hi people, i have a vodafone branded htc desire hd, however i followed all instructions managed to goldcard, downgrade from 2.5 something to 1.32, i temprooted, rooted and then installed eng off and s-off. finally i installed revolution hd, however my phone is still locked to vodafone! all the root was correct, and in the bootloader says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF and also CID is 11111111.
ive searched everywhere and still cannot find an answer. please help me, many thanks in advance
Rooting your device (even flashing a custom rom) does not unlock it.
Okay, I was under the impression that rooting and s-off and eng-off would unlock the phone, can you please give guidance on how to do this I've searched everywhere, many thanks

To sim unlock your device, you need the unlock code. Either get it from your service provider (Free but they hardly give it out) or get it from some website (paid but usually get it quickly. Just make sure it's a trusted site).
Okay I will look into it, when I used the s-off easy tool, one of the options was sim unlock? Thanks for getting back to me anyway

Did you select that option?
yes i selected the top option which was radio s-off, supercid and simunlock. i thought that would of unlocked the phone but im not too sure now?
run the radio off tool again ...ofcourse it unlocks the phone no need for any codes and no need to pay it all can be done free when you follow the steps as i did mine not long ago
I have been trying to get s-off on my desire hd using htcdev website, everything went ok, but bootloader is still saying s-on. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? I am running amdroid 2.3.5, sw number is 3.12.405.1, kernel 2.6.35.10, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M. Device was already rooted by HTC Quick Root /w universal exploit
Thanks in advance
Htcdev will not get you S-Off. It will only unlock your bootloader, but it will still be S-On. You need AAHK for S-Off.
I can't get off either. Oh, that's s-off. Missed that.
Sent from the short bus
Relocked the bootloader and run aahk.
Read intensely on http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
relocked bootloader and used aahk, thanks guys
So, I got an M8 to resell, gained S-OFF via Sunshine and set SuperCID 11111111 in order to sim-unlock the phone, then removed S-OFF, then sold the thing on eBay.
Now the buyer contacted me and said that it asks him for an unlock code when he put in his sim card. What could have gone wrong here?
Should I have left S-OFF in place in order for the unlock to work?
Super CID doesn't SIM-unlock the phone, it just means you can flash any ROM to it
This should work, but you need S-OFF

I followed option 2 from this site: http://androidandme.com/2014/08/devices/three-ways-to-sim-unlock-the-htc-one-m8-for-free/
So I thought it was unlocked. I couldn't test if it worked though, since I don't have any nano sim available

To my knowledge that has never worked, but then again I've never bought a SIM-locked phone. Chances are S-OFF was needed to do it if it does, indeed, work
